explains Ayear-old Marsha Krag Of Beachwood, Ohio
And that sums up the new attitude Of the teen-age
female toward the teen-age male.
The boys don't agree completely, but even they
downgrade the Importance Of athletic ability.
In survey Of SS4 American teen-agers, we found
that the scholar is the most admired youngster the
son with the sparkling personality ranks second and the
athlete Is third.
The young people assert that the scholar does
for the school than the athlete that scholarship will get
person farther than athletics and that they work
ing the hardest to improve their scholarship rather than
their personalities and athletic abilities.

Dear Mrs. Rickers
We are two 17-year-Old
boys. The two girls We have
been dating, since school
started, told us last week
that they would like to
switch dates the next time
we double date. We're sure
they didn't mean any harm
but II hurt us very much.
We each like the girl we've
been dating and cannot see
switching girls. Are the
girls asking too much or do
you think we are being self
ish?
AaILT and SCHULTZY.
It appears fairly obvious
that the girls are not as in
terested in you as INDIVID-
UALS as you are In them and
it would be rather pointless
to make the switch they Sug-
gested just to please them.
For this reason, I suggest

he said, that We should
make Our own the anxious
solicitude of Our predeces-
sors and present it as a sac
red warning to all Our Cath
olic) children, as We feel it
Our right and Our duty to
call them, to all who Believe
in God and in His Christ, and
even to unbelievers. since all
men belong to God and to
Christ by right of origin and
of redemption"
POPE John MADE HIS
plea following a special Mass
he offered for peace in the
audience hall of his sumner
villa here Sept. 10). His adj
dress, given in Italian, was
broadcast over Vatican Radio
and the Italian radio and tele-
vision networks. TRANSACTIONS
were given virtually immedi.
ately by the French, Belgian,
Irish, Spanish, Dutch, Ger
man, Austrian, Swiss and
Canadian networks, and were
beamed eastward by Radio
Free Europe.
For peace to prevail, the
Pope told the world, "We
must open our hearts and
empty them of the malice
with which at times the spirit
of error and evil seeks to in
feet them, and thus purified,
we must lift them up conf
dent of receiving heavens
blessings as also prosperity
in the things of earth"
Perhaps, said the Pope, the
Mass for peace he had just
offered, joined by faithful
Christians the world over,
could we'll be the first of
a series of assemblies of
peace, not married by point
less clamoring. but gladdened
by a heartfelt sentiment of
elevation and peace, an as
surance of the tranquility
and nobility of life in the hap
piness of Christian society,
which is, in Christ, the divine
brotherhood and a foretaste
of the joys of heaven"
POPE JOHN NOTED that
the Catholic Church through
out today's troubled and
divided world is preparing
for a universal gathering =
the ecumenical council
which is aimed at the promo.
ton of that true brotherhood
of the nations which exalts
Christ Jesus.

out to a young missioner
here recently.
Early in the summer, Fa.
Their Robert v. Tobin, NM,
of Marion, Ohio, arranged for
his altar bay, Umberto, to
correspond with his nephew,
Eddie Vogel, back in the us.
Last week Umberto show
ed Father Tobon a photo of
his pen pal, Eddie, dressed
in a baseball uniform and
standing in front of the Vo-
gel family garage.
The Peruvian lad looked
wistfully at the picture and
remarked: Gee, Father, your

house. How many families

up the Holy Church and the
human family, which is also
all His own.
I'VE WOULD EXTEND Our
most urgent invitation to
prayer to priests, to con-
secrated souls, to the inno-
cent and to the suffering, Let
us all together beg the Faith
er of light and of grace to
enlighten the minds and move
the wills of those who hold
the chief responsibility for
the life or death of the peo-
Piles. Let us pray for the peo-
plies themselves, that they
may not allow themselves to
be dazzled by exacerbated
nationalism and destructive
rivalry, and that, as We so
earnestly exhorted in Our
encyclical Mater ct Magistra,'
the relationships in the life
of human society may be re.
integrated in truth, in justice
and in love.
Let us all pray that by
means of the penetration of
the Christian spirit, morality
may grow strong; the vigor.
Gus strength of Christian FAM,
lilies, the source of noble
power and dignity and of
blessed and joyful prosperity.
FEVER AND ALWAYS let
us pray for the peace of
Christ here below, between
all men of good will: That
all the families of the ma
tons, rent asunder by the
wound of sin, may be subject.
ed to the most gentle rule of
Christ"
Pope John in concluding
recalled that the Church two
days earlier had celebrated
the feast of the birthday of
the Blessed Virgin Mary.
After citing from the Collect
of the Mass of the FEAST in
which Mary is saluted as the
beginning of the salvation of
the world and the heavenly
promise of an increase of
peace" he uttered this pray
err:
Eyes, YES, FOR THIS we
supplicate you, o our most
sweet Mother, o Queen of the
World: OF victorious wal or.

They deal with high level
officials on a consultative
and administrative basis. They
do not come into contact with
the man in the street and

These people, by and large
are ignorant of the very pres

and of the concern of the
people of the United States
for their progress.
IT Is REFRESHING and
hopeful to see in presidential
p~roclamations cong ressional
addresses and administrative
commentary a resolve to cor
rect these shortcomings.
President Kennedy, in an
nouncing the Alliance for
Progress for Latin America,
has insisted that social goals
must be fulfilled by economic
programs; that in short we
must reach the people with
housing. agrarian reform,
schools, technical training,
credit, medical and commu-
nifty services.
On the whole, American
voluntary agencies do not
operate in other countries as
strangers.
Through the bond of reli-
gious and humanitarian inter-
ests, often extended over
generations, American volun-
tary personnel are received
as friends and colleagues.
Usually their educational,
health and social services are
carried on through native or
CARNATIONS, which are di-
rected and supported by CT
tizens of the respective coun--
tries themselves.
American talents and re-
sources are fitted into the
local pattern, without being
S~uperimposed from above.
THESE VOLUNTARY asso.
Citations and their counter
parts have been especially
successful in the field of
credit unions and coopera-
tives, housing and commun-
ity development, health and
social services, radio and
training schools. In some
countries, they have been es-
pecially successful in the
field of labor and rural
movements.
The International Coopera-
ton Administration has al
ready reflected the tenor of
the new legislation in its re-
lations with voluntary agen-
cies both here in the United
States and in its overseas of
fices.
Currently, for instance,
these agencies are working
closely with lCA for the de-
velopment of regional pro-

proves that the motivation of
