who agreed with my stand
far outnumbered those who
heaped criticism upon my

Because the next two weeks
will bring this deplorable
custom out for its yearly

many readers to repeat my
sentiments.
To my way Of thinking
gained from actual expert

more harm than good. To
begin with, those who work
together, day in and day out,
usually find it hard to mingle

MODERN
MANNERS
Office Christmas Party Does
More Harm Than Good
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

Too often this leads to a
dire ending. A few are
bound to get out Of line.
Even Mr.. Boss. Inevitably,
repercussions will hang like
a cloud over the office for
weeks to come.
You say, But office par
ties aren't all like this" I
agree with you. But let's
face it honestly. Aren't most
of them?
There are two other stand
out objections that come to
mind. One is the giving of
gifts, particularly If the Of
flee force is a large one.
Unless someone has a bright
idea ahead of time-such as
having each member draw
a slip from a hat, the slip
containing the name of one
person to whom a gift should
be given - confusion will
reign. Some will receive
gifts-some won't. The SAT-
est way to handle this is to
lay down the mo gifts" edict.
Evening star., 1961-12-10

MY second complaint. II
there is an office celebra-
ton, you are obliged to at
tend. This is particularly
bad II the party is held on
Christmas eve. when there
are so many last minute
things to do, and so many
other parties that you would
much rather attend. Short
of dire illness, or absence
from town, you can't refuse.
Actually, it's an order from
the Boss, isn't it?
Just a few suggestions If a
party is held and you MUST
go: Watch it! Be friendly
and join in. but guard
against OVERRIDING In either
case. Go easy on the liquid
refreshments. No flirting
with a member Of the OPP
posite sex. Say your good
byes as soon as it is politely
possible. You'll be glad that
you did.
OF course the holiday sea-
son should not go unobserved
in any office. But some
how, all things considered.
wouldn't 1t seem better If
Mr.. Boss presented even a
small bonus to each en-
ploye-a gift, or maybe an
afternoon off? No chance
of repercussions here. and I
honestly believe the majority
would appreciate it much
more. What do YOU think?

U.N. Week

This coming week is United Nations Week. OBJ
servance will be held throughout the country to mark
the contributions of the U.N to the cause Of world
peace and advancement.
INA RECENT CLERGY MEMORANDUM Bishop
ISsenmann asked the faithful of the Diocese to pray
for peace and the members of the U.N. Assembly that
"they be enlightened and guided by wisdom and forti-
tude."
The memorandum admitted that there are limi-
tations and shortcomings in the U.N. but still ut is
the most practical solution to the veXlng problems of
the present"
AS WE KNOW, THE UNITED Nations Organi-
cation has been under severe attack this year and
particularly since the death of Dag Hammarskjold. The
criticism has come from the Communist left which
apparently wishes to reduce the organization to a
mere debating forum by the troika scheme and also
from the ultra-conservative right in our country which
proposed that we withdraw from the U.N. and return
to %unilateral policy in such areas.
Last weeks Catholic Times carried Father
SheerinS comments on whether the U.N. should be
allowed to be a "Static conference machinery" the
phrase is Hammarskjold'sl or a dynamic instrument"
through which governments would TRY to develop
forms of executive action undertaken on behalf of all
the members, and inning at forestalling conflicts and
resolving them, once they have arisen, by appropriate
diplomatic or political means"
WHATEVER HAPPENS TO the JIM. depends to
a great extent on public opinion in the United States.
Some commentators have said that the American
people are Skeptlcal about the performance and the
promise of the U.N. and have soured on its effective
ness.
And yet in 1945 President Truman said in a
private conference, according to Norman Cousins of
the Saturday Review, anyone who has given any
thought to the problem must realize that the only
answer to world war is world law.
President Eisenhower confirmed this in 1859 at a
similar meeting when he referred to the idea of a
world organization with the effective powers of world
law as the great imperative of the present generation.
PRESIDENT NJ recently stressed the role
of the U.N. in preventing a nucear holocaust.
But all three chief executives made the point that
no initiative can be taken in working out such adj
vanced concept, establishing a world authority while
preserving the sovereignty of each individual nation,
unless there were clear indications that the American
people are ready for such a step. The tragic figure of
Woodrow Wilson haunts anyone who tries to propose
an idea for which the people are not prepared.
WE DO NOT KNOW whether this can be done or
not. We do know this, as our Bishops memorandum
observed, "The only worldwide political agency that
is striving to maintain unity and peace among all peo-
plies is the United Nations And a corollary by Arch
bishop Alter "we must renew our efforts to make the
UN. an effective instrument for peace on earth" We
have many prayers and much thought ahead. CAT.

Mission Sunday

Our Holy Father carries the responsibility for
souls outside the Church too. In this he is assisted
by a cabinet or Congregation for the Propagation of
the Faith. Its special role is to supervise, all mis-
slonary activity, particularly the conversion of the
two billion pagans in the world.
THROUGH THIS CONGREGATION the Holy
Father assigns missionaries and outlines territories.
He calls upon over 800 missionary societies along
with diocesan and native clergy to work in 500 mission
territories, each larger than Ohio, which include
10000 schools, 5000 hospitals and dispensaries, $50
leper colonies and over 300, 900 missions and stations.
One hundred forty thousand missionaries : priests,
sisters, brothers and devoted lay missioners do
this work without salary.
Each mission area submits a detailed report TO
the Holy See every year. Overall strategy and some.
times pointed advice and direction, are then given
by Rome and the means to carry it out insofar as it is
available.
so MUCH FOR ADMINISTRATION. To imple-
ment the plan the Church turns to all its members
and makes them part of this work through the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith. From long expert
ence and Faith we know that divine Grace is the
means to success in the missions. Therefore S.P.F.
asks prayers plus sacrifices to obtain Gods grace
for conversions and the needs of the missions. In the
United States we are especially able to give, though
we send $50 of the missionaries in the field.
Pope John distributes $40 of the US. Mission
Sunday aims among the foreign missions, go to the

H HOLY FATHER HAS ASKED that his mis-

support Of this plan is an act of faith in his office as
Vicar of Christ and offsets the attacks made upon the
Pope by his enemies. 1t also equalizes the aid given
the missions for $3.50 of the missionaries come from
countries poorer than our nation. This way every mis-
sion is helped.
WHY NoT LET THE HOLY FATHER decide
which missions you will help by giving to his Mission
Appeal this Sunday? Mission lands witness many con-
versions and v~ocations. More and more native priests,
sisters, brothers and even Bishops and Cardinals are
found in mission countries.
By giving to the Mission Appeal this Sunday you
can make this a still greater year for winning souls.

Church was NOT one in fhe
early days but that there was
at least one big split and that
Saints Peter and Paul were of
different groups!
A. That the Apostles had
human weaknesses and dis
agreements We know from the
Bible. The miner disagree
