ALL THE SAME, good Cath
olics-and good Protestants
and Jews too - transformed
many materially poor districts
into areas spiritually rich,
out of which came many of
our most admirable Amer
leans"
Now for my own testi-
mony.
My wife and / have lived
in a semi-rural village, in a
small town, and in residen-
tial sections of two large
metropolitan completes.
Based on our own exper-
fence, we'll take the big cities.
This is not to say that there
are no excellent rural and
small town neighborhoods.
There are.
OUR HOME at present is
in a self-governing city of
10000 in a metropolis of a
million and a half. We have
been there Is years. Never
have we heard of anybody
on bad terms with anybody
else.
Nobody uses language that
children should not hear. No
body sets a bad example in
any way. Adults and chill
dren go in and out of neigh
boring houses, sure of their
welcome, and sure of the
right kind of atmosphere.
Youngsters leave outside
all night their bikes and
trikes, wagons and ~scooters
and nothing is stolen. If there
is sickness or death or acct
dent in any house, every
body hastens to help.
--
THE AREA is sprinkled
with Catholic and Protestant
churches their chimes
melodiously conversing about
God and with synagogs.
Many Catholics are at Mass
every morning. Protestants
jam streets with parked cars
for their services.
! suppose my wife and /
have had something to do
with rearing our family, but
what with the atmosphere,
the fine folks, and the schools,
it has been astonishingly
easy.
Maybe that's why, when an
older couple moves away,
the house is quickly bought
by a younger couple with a
flock of little ones.

err fact that unlike the great
labor declarations of Europe,
the AFL-CIO has never had
a purely working class stamp
upon it."
"To put il another way"
says Mr.. Kassalow, ''the tradi-
tional socialists, and in a few
cases Marxist or neo-Marxist
traditions and history which
clings to some of the great
European trade union centers,
gives them an industrial pro-
letariat Identification. Lack
ing this past and tradition,
the AFLrCIO has at least this
advantage as it moves into
this field"
THIS IS A VERY important
consideration from the point
of view not only of the Amer
lean labor movement but of
the nation as a whole. 1t
would be very unfortunate
for all of us if American
unions were to attempt to or
ganize either manual and
white collar workers on the
basis of class distinction.
TT WOULD BE EQUALLY
unfortunate, however, if en-
ployers in this country were
to discourage or attempt to
prevent the organization of
white collar and technical
workers by appealing to their
spirit of class consciousness.
If employers were to try to
drive a wedge between blue
collar workers and white col
lar workers they would be
making the same kind of mis-
take that European Marxists
have been making for many
generations.

/ salute DR.. Cross also be-
cause he speaks plain English,
a practice much too rare
among our intellectuals.
DR.. Cross, a leading Prot
estant historian and an au-
thority on the Catholic Church
in the U.s., was a specially
invited speaker at the 1861
convention of the American
Catholic Historical Associa-
ton.
THE IDEA that country
life is automatically healthier
for the soul, he said, came
down to us from such earlier
Catholic figures as Bishop
John Lancaster Spaul d n G,
founder of Catholic Univer-
sity of America.
Bishop Spaulding, DR.. Cross
said, was one of those who
believed that closeness to
nature made the farmer so
cognizant of the boundless,
immense forces of life that
religion came to him natur-
ally"
Observe the clarity and SIM
plicity Of DIR. Cross phras-
ing. One word might be alter
ed for easier reading. "Cogni-
zant" could become aware"
But DR.. Cross has nobly re-
sisted the temptation to say
it this way:
Bishop SpauIding and some
erudite contemporaries were
impelIed by contemplation of
their miIieu TO embrace the
unsfafisfieaI and non-demon-
strabIe assumption that those
adherents of their doefrinai
views who were of the agri-
cultural persuasion were, as
a consequence Of proximity to
the ineIUefabIe vital processes
of the planet, virtually AUTO
mafieaIly fheisfie."
The trouble with Bishop
Spaulding's theory, DR.. Cross
said, was that it ignored the
fact that there are many kinds
of cities with many kinds of
neighborhoods.
Let us admit, in justice to
Bishop Spaulding, that city
life in his time differed from
city life today, and that Cath

Eastern Shore Art

The famous Eastern Shore Of
Maryland has in its landscape
such exotica as the following:
covered bridges, cable ferries,
old water-powered grist mills,
18th century inns, 18th and 18th
century churches, and great
manor homes (also modest
farmhouses) similarly ancient.
There are no large cities. The
small towns have individuality.
That is why the Eastern
Shore attracts artists, says
George w. Hubley, Jr., point
ing out that almost every Shore
community has its painters. In
some counties-as Talbot, for
instance-there are art center
buildings with permanent ex-
hibits.
