End To Disunity!

Last month two events created a great stir IN the
ecclesiastical world.
THE FIRST WAS the historic visit of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury to our Holy Father, Pope John
XIII. 1t was not a formal visit, but rather a courtesy
call to clear a way for regular frequent informal ex-
changes of interest and understanding between the two
churches, . according to the English preate, DR.. Geof-
frey Fisher.
THE SECOND WAS THE suggestion of DR..
Eugene Carson Blake, the chief permanent official of
US. PreSbyteTianS, that there be a merger of the four
leading Protestant denominations into a single church.
Those invited to merge with the Presbyterians were
Episcopalians, the Methodists, and the United Church
of Christ.
These events were truly noteworthy and are a
sign of feeling that exists in the Christian world. Such
overtures would be almost unthinkable a few years
back.
DOES THIS kline of thing mean that there will
be but one Christian Church in the forseeable future?
Unfortunately, no. The doctrinal and historical
differences that separate the various denominations
from the Catholic Church and from one another are
too deep to be healed in a short time.
But the recent actions Of the two Protestant lead.
ers are heartening. They do show that many Christians
are on friendly terms. They do manifest the aware
ness of some Professionals that disunity is alien to
Christ's wishes and that some steps ought to be taken
to do something to promote more harmony among
those who profess Christ.
CATHOLICS HAVE part more and more
in the dialogue with other Christians. Not that we
think unity Of Churches is imminent, but rather to
further understanding and good will.
The climate of 1861 then is an encouraging one
for our annual observance of the Chair of Unity Octave
which begins next Wednesday. On those days we shall
pray for the Octaye's intentions with special ferVor
in the hope that in Gods good time, there may truly
be zone fold and one Shepherd" @CAF

One snowy day last

Americas worst airline
disaster. One hundred
and thirty-seven persons-in
the planes or on the ground
were killed. One of the
planes fell in Brooklyn,
plunging into a block of
homes, and narrowly missing
a Catholic school in which
1000 children were attend
ing classes.
SOME YEARS AGO a sim
liar disaster in which two
planes collided over the
Grand Canyon brought about
the formation of the Federal
Aviation Agency. This agency
has required the airlines and
airports to install numerous
safety devices but it has met
with vigorous opposition in
many quarters.
The airlines and the Air
Line Pilots Association have
claimed that the agency has
been acting in dictatorial
fashion and that it has intro
duced so many new rules
that their very complexity
and number have made flights
more dangerous than ever.

THE HEAD OF THE agen-

has an article in the Janu-

magazine appeared days be-

vious that at the time of writ

of the tragedy that struck
Brooklyn and Staten Island on
Dec. is. For that very rea-
son his remarks on safety

He titles his article 1.-THE

battle with Washington lobby
lists to make planes safer for
travellers. He does not hesti-
tate to lay an accusing finger
on those he considers the cul-
prits and he is unsparing in
his criticism of their tactics.
THE GENERAL TONE of
the article seems to be one
of despair. He gives me the
impression of being a man
who is unconquered but who
realizes that further battle
against the lobbyist is futile.

No D%elinquents Here

The January FBl Law Enforcement Bulletin
issued by j. Edgar Hoover calls for a ban on the term
Juvenile delinquency"
The FBI Director calls that term a missioner,
a "pampering, palliative phrase" which should be
"hanished forever from our language as a description
for vicious acts"
MR. HOOVER CONDEMNS those "muddleheaded
sentimentalists who would wrap teenage brigandS in
the protective cocoon of the term juvenile delinquency
with emphasis upon all its connotationS of youthful
prankishness.'
We couldn't agree more. In our August 10Th
isue TIMES, "Time for Severity') we editorialized III
a somewhat similar vein.
The head of the FBl believes the American public
has built up a shock resistance to vicious murders,
rapes, assaults, robberieS, and all the other crimes com
mitted by young people because teenage terrorism is
so commonplace today.
HE RIGHTLY POINT out that there must be a
line drawn between mischievous FRANKS OF young peo-
pie ard the depraved deeds of teenage bandits.
But so many current crimes are far from juvenile
mischief.
MANY INCIDENTS could be cited to substantiate
this point from the mass rape OF a young woman In the
east to the recent knife-murder of a youngster for a
75c Christmas tree.
If the American public is a~pathetic about juvenile
crimes it is time to wake up to the danger that is pre-
sent. In the words of Mr.. Hoover "such teenage gang
sterism should be labeled for exactly what it is -
youthful criminality'. And since these young people
are not "delinquents' but criminals they should be
given the harsh punishment they r~ightfully deserve.

in the excellent Parents,
Children and the Facts of

Image books education in
sex begins in infancy. God
entrusts parents with the
right and the responsibility
of fitting children for their
role in life. This education
is much broader than mere
sex instruction and it should
teach by example and by
explanation the dignity of
man and woman's place in
life. It includes answering
questions of little children
honestly and should be
adapted to the particular
child. information should be
given in a more specific way
as the child approaches
adolescence. Before puberty
the principal facts should be

hands if poverty and unem-
ployment were not widespread
in the countries from which
these workers originate?
The answer to these ques-
tons is simple. If this pool
Of underprivileged workers
were not available, American
growers would have to COM
pete on the open market for
their labor.
They, like industrial EN-
ployers, would have to plan
their production schedules in
accordance with the labor
market situation. They would
have to offer wages and work
ing conditions that would APP
peal to domestic workers, who
are covered by such protec-
tive legislation as minimum
wage, unemployment insur-
ance and workmen's compen-
sation. In short, they would
be forced to raise employ
ment standards in agricul-
ture.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE
there is poverty at home and
abroad, the American grower
does not have to worry about
such things. Because his work
ers are exempt from most So
cial and labor legislation, he
can ignore taxes for unem-
ployment insurance, insur-
ance rates for workmen's
compensation, industrial child
labor laws, and laws which
guarantee workers the right
to organize into unions.

there is no floor on wages

they have no time to take

The last session of the
Congress considered bills
which would (a) extend
a minimum wage to agri-
cultural workers.
(b) extend the child labor
provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act to agriculture.
(c) provide for the national
registration of crew leaders
operating across state lines.
None of these bills was en-
acted into law, but it will be
timely to discuss them again
in this column for presuma-
bly, similar bills will be in

Yet, at the present time
that is the kind of farm la
Dor system we have in the

this thesis lies in the answer
to two basic questions:
WHERE WOULD agricul-

from harvest to harvest at
sub-standard wages, working
and living conditions, if there
were not poverty and unem-

A. The proper of the Mass
constitutes those parts which

particular saint on a certain

the parts which are not list

greater portion of the Mass
which remains substantially
