@. What Is the story Of Our
Lady of Beauraing7
A. A series of appearances
of Our Lady took place in
the early winter of 1928.
Our Lady appeared thirty
three times to five children
in the garden of a convent
school in Beauraing, Belgium.
Final approval of the devo-
tion was given in 1949 and a
chapel was conSecrated there
in 1854.

we might say came from the

Many married women
find complete satisfaction
in their way of life. Many
however, are frustrated
and are looking desperate

ward some impossible goal.
and unfortunately they do not

some things cannot be solved.
THERE ARE so MANY
lonely and bored wives. In
times gone by old folks har-
bored no feelings of guilt
about being a drag on the
young. They either moved in,
reasoning that it was high
time they were supported for
a change or else they lived
nearby. And, of course, peo-
pie moved less and families
stuck closer together.
Many a person today looks
to love, marriage and family
life as a relaxing rest, a cure
all, a miraculous bit of psy-
ckiatry and a sort of pheno-
barbital which puts disturb

sleep. Again, many a young

Organizations

A recent issue of the fine bulletin, The Parish
Courier, OF ST. Mary parish, Lancaster, called attention
to the need of organizations for Catholics in an
editorial titled mo Man Is An Island"
THE POINT WAS MADE that Catholics who at
tend church regularly and receive the sacraments
but remain apathetic to the society in which they
live are prone to be self-centered.
How can they provide for the needs of their
n%eighbors, the social distress of many, the crises
affecting people of other nations, local problems in
the community, and communal worship in the liturgy
except through organized action?
Organizations and societies can meet needs which
individuals obviously cannot Organizations provide a
vehicle for members TO find expression for their
talents, ambitions and interests. Our organizations
help spiritualize the lives of the individuals and exert
a Christian influence on the society of today.
THE OFFICIAL SOCIETIES in our Diocese are
the Holy Name for men, the. Altar Society for women,
and the Catholic Youth Council for young people.
There are also many other Catholic organizations
which work toward the perfection of the individual
and society as well.

PeddIers Hit
ByNew
InArIinqton

A tough new ordinance
clamping restrictions on ped
dlers, solicitors and canvassers
in Arlington County was
adopted yesterday by the Coun-
ty Board.
Under the ordinance. solici-
tors must be photographed and
fingerprinted, and submit de-
tailed information on them
selves before they are granted
a SIS permit.
The ordinance exempts truck
gardeners, salesman of milk,
bakery products and other food
products, solicitors for religious
and charitable organizations
and children under 16.
It also does not apply to
persons soliciting funds for po-
litical candidates or for po-
litical parties whose candidates
polled 10 per cent of the total
vote cast in the preceding gen.
eral election.
That provision prompted the
only debate on the ordinance.
Board Chairman Leo Urbanske
said that it would prevent new
political parties from getting
started. He proposed that the
provision be deleted because "I
don't think we ought to dis
courage in any manner the
creation Of new political
groups"
Commonwealth'S Attorney
william j. Hassan objected that
that is giving George Lincoln
Rockwell and his American
Nazi Party free rein"
Board Member Herbert L.
Brown said, This is no great
civil liberties case," and urged
that the provision be retained.
Board Member Ernest D. Wilt
said the purpose Of the ordi-
nance was not to examine
solicitors concerning their poll
tical intentions. but to identify
them.
The Board voted to keep the
provision, then voted 4 to o
to pass the ordinance, with Mr..
Urbanske abstaining.

Foundation
To Restore
Lee Chapel

LEXINGTON, Va. May 20
(AP).-Washington and Lee
University'S Lee Chapel, the
final resting place of Gen.
Robert E. Lee and members of
his family, will be restored
through a $4,000 gift from
the Ford Motor Co. Founda-
tion.
Henry Ford II, president of
the fund, said in Announcing the
gift today that "our trustees
believe it to be most important
to maintain the Lee Chapel as
a priceless spiritual and his
toric possession for L1e South
and for the Nation"
Mr.. Ford said the contribu-
ton would be presented to the
university during commence
ment exercises at the Lexing-
ton, Va, campus June 2.
DR.. Fred C. Cole, president
of the University, hailed the
gift as zone of the most i'm
portant and timely ever re-
ceived by Washington and Lee
University"
DR.. Cole said work would
begin Immediately on plans for
the restoration. He said the
actual restoration would take
about 18 months.
Gen. Lee built the chapel
while serving as president of
the university from 1865 to
1870.

scum Of Lee memorabilia and

Over the years the building
has deteriorated until wooden

tive.
In a lengthy statement Fri
day, Mr.. Pollack lambasted
the Baltimore States attorney
who has begun an investiga-
ton Of whether the States
Corrupt Practices Act is being
violated in the circulation of
petitions.
While not denying or con-
firming his connection with the

ton and accused the States
attorney Of trying to intimi-
date the people to keep them
from signing the petitions.

Yesterday Former Gov. Theo-
dore McKeldin also issued a
statement which said in part: !:
The fact that the court refer
endum and the building and

jointly presented by the Solici-
tors of signatures is a strong
indication that both are moving
under the same surreptitious
nsorship-a clandestine
union, perhaps, Of selfish inter-
est and political spite.
ITO say there is a strong
public feeling-enough to Jus
tify a referendum-against the

citizens of Maryland as foolish
people who might relish the
danger of losing their savings
| in reckless investments and
precarious deposits that are in
adequately guarded by legal
regulations"
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan and Richard w. Case.
chairman Of the commission
which recommended savings
and loan legislation, are draft
ing new bills to present to the
General Assembly if it is con-
vened.
The purpose Of the special
session would be to enact the
bills as emergency legisla-
ton" which would put them
into effect as soon as the Gov
ernor signs them.
Assembly's Problem
To do this with the savings
and loan bill, the General As
sembly would have to put the
authority for administering the
regulations in an existing State
agency. The bill on which a
referendum is being sought
created a new State savings
and loan board and a new ad-
ministrative agency. Bills crea-
ting new offices cannot be
adopted as emergency legisla-
ton.
Gov. Tawes has indicated he
will call a session shortly after
June ! if the petition move
mentS are successful.

Maryland'S embattled saw
ings and loan association regu-
lations appear about to be
tossed back into the lap of
lawmakers who struggle d
nightly with them a few weeks
ago.
Already the attorney general
and the chairman of a study
commission are drafting emer-
gency legislation to present to
the General Assembly in case
a special session of the Legis-
lature becomes necessary.
Gov. TaweS has announced
he will call lawmakers back to
Annapolis if threatened refer
enda to stall the savings and
loan bill and Baltimore Munic-
ipal Court legislation are car
ried through. The purpose
would be to re-enact the legis-
lation to get it in effect i'm
mediately.
ASSembIy'S Ordeal
A General Assembly, weary
after a stormy weekS-long bat
tie over savings and loan asSo-
citation regulations and related
legislation, thought it was
through with the matter when
Gov. Tawes affixed his sigma
ture last month to the COM
promise bill which emerged
from the Legislature.
The bill giving Maryland. its
first regulation of the free
wheeling savings and loan in
dustry was scheduled to go into
effect June /. But it appears
likely it won't.
Forces who have declined to
identify themselveS-and who
have drawn the wrath of State
officialdom-are at work get
ting signatures to stall the saw
ingS and loan bill as we'll as
another piece Of legislation af-
fecting Baltimore's new NUM-
cipal Court.
1t takes 10000 signatures to
place a bill passed by the Gen
eral Assembly on referendum
for. approval or rejection OF
the voters. If the petitions are
presented, the effective date OF
the bill automatically is de-
ferred until after the vote
which in this case would be
in November 1862.
While the sponsors Of the
petitions have not come for
ward, it has been reported that
the petitions once were avail
able at the Trenton Democratic
Club in Baltimore. The club is
the headquarters of the organ
ization of James H. (Jack) Pol
lack, powerful political boss OF
Northwest Baltimore.
During the 1860 session of

lack was accused on the State
Senate floor of trying to scut-
tie savings and loan legisla-
ton which then was under
consideration. Mr.. Pollack also

Parental snobbery is causing
the mistraining of many Mont
gomery County youngsters, a
panel Of county citizens was
informed yesterday.
The assertion was made by
Dean Donald E. Dayo of Mont
gomery Junior College in a
tentative report to the Curricu-
lum Study Committee.
The group, composed of "a
county laymen, was handed
the report at the start of con-
ference that will continue to-
morrow and Tuesday night at
Broome Junior High School in
Rockville.
Montgomery County parents,
Dean Deyo declared, refused to
enroll their sons and daugh-
tiers in vocational courses, over
riding consideration of their
youngsters abilities, aptitudes
and interests.
Instead, he said, they en-
rolled their children in arts
and science courses which are
more socially acceptable in
wealthy Montgomery County.
Nursing Course Scorned
AS an example, he cited the
case of a Junior College pro-
gram which was established re-
Gently to train future practical
nurses. Although, according to
Dean Deyo, survey had
shown such a program was
needed, not a single student
applied.
The technical education
study committee, one Of II
such groups which reported
yesterday to the curriculum
committee, declared:
1T would seem that the vo-
cational education program pre-
sented in the public schools
has a low prestige value in
the minds of some employers,
the majority of parents, many
students and even teachers.
This is especially true in the
Montgomery County setting
with it's high-median income
and dearth Of heavy industry"
Drafting Recommendations
The group concluded:
With our everyday lives in
creasingly shaped by the prod
ucts of industry and with the
proportion of women in the
Nations work force continually
increasing, we are short-chang-
ing our children if we do not
give them at least Introductory
instruction in industrial arts"
