Birch Slogan

ROBERT WEIGH has arrived.
He is now being attacked by
the part-time conservatives,
who in their finite wisdom
advise the John Birch mem
beers to Dust him.
It's natural that lesser con-
servatives-outSide the soci-

ward the man who has done
more to galvanize patriots
into effective action than any
other one person. It Is poSsi-
BILE they covet for their DO
ntical party the contributions
they think the J. B. s. Is
getting.
If these conservatives"
took the time to read Mr..
Welch's writings. they would
find he backs UP his remarks

Father Cooke contends that
There is q show of
might and power and nu-
merical size that strikes fear
into the hearts Of some Amer
leans. We stand the risk
Of being misunderstood ..
Of being judged q threat to
public institutions" These
statements completely ignore
the spirit behind the parades.
Moreover, this can be said of
any public gathering If the
motives are not understood.
It could have been said Of
the special tribute paid to the
Blessed Virgin at the Ma
tional Shrine.
Father Cooke apparently
doesn't understand the spirit
behind the st. Patrick's Day
parade. It had its inspiration
in one who may be called the
1rishman Of Great Heart. He
was a man Of indomitable
trust in the providence OF
God; he was impractical in
money affairs and would
often give his last dollar to a
friend, even though needing
it himself; he priced friend
ship above all other values;
his great devotion to the
Blessed Virgin filled him with
the highest respect for wom-
anhood; as q family man,
well, he had a way with chill
dren; his wit was keen; he
was proud Of being an Amer
lean and his faith and patri-
otism encompaSsed him like q
shield and gave him the
courage to face the ills Of this
life always with cheer and q
smile. And when he was final
~ called, he had a sigh for
those he left behind, but he
gladly journeyed on to his re-
ward in that true Emerald
Isle above, and with his pass
ing all were heard to say,
There went a man with q
Great Heart,

Such were the men who in

In Irish and non-Irish, in
Catholic and yes, even in
many a non Catholic. Any
one who could impute any
other motives to the celebra.
ton, does not understand the
Iris h American. Certainly
there Is much false enthuSi-
asm about st. Patrick's Day,
just IS there is about Christ
mas or the Fourth Of July,
or any other holiday. To the
real Irishman. st. Patrick's
Day means three things:
Cd Mass and holy commu-
Ion. 90 The parade or family
outing. 90 Later the gather
ing Of the clan for q wee bit

er mixing Of holiness, patri-
otism and merriment. and I
think Father Cooke will have
to admit that this is in keep
ing with the teachings of the
Catholic Church, and cannot
be construed in any sense as
being subversive.

Schmidt was virtually help
less after the fall. He was sent
to Indianapolis, played in seven
games there, and finally was
operated on Augunst IS.
Schmidt said he thought he
had a raw deal with the Reds,
and while he was surprised that
he was traded, he's happy.
Bob is a big, pleasant fellow,
6 feet 2 and I'll pounds at pres

and other ball players in that
area. Bob and his wife, who is
expecting, live in St. Ann, Mo.
Schmidt, a product of the
Giants organization, made the

majors. He was on deck, wait

that year and batted pa. The
next two years he batted .243
and .267 with the Giants in II
and ITO games. He was traded
to the Reds last April with Don
Blasingame for Sherman Jones
and Ed Bailey.
Bob has been known as a
power hitter, but he said he
learned a lesson in San Francis
CO, where the wind was too
much. He'd prefer to meet the
ball this year and boast his
average.
His first time at bat in the
majors he struck out against
