 Glenn said he felt no such dis comfort.
 As Friendship raced around the world, 1t passed from daylight to nighttime and then back to daylight again, making the switch approximately every 45 minutes. Glenn reported entering the first period of darkness over the In- dian Ocean.
 He also passed from winter in the United States to summer over Australia, and he jumped from Tuesday to Wednesday and then back to Tuesday when he crossed the International Dateline in the Pacific.

Cigarette Vending Machine Bill Killed

JUNEAU lR = The Senate yes- terday killed a bill which would have boosted the license fee for each individual cigarette vend- ing machine to top of $150.
 Under the present law, each cigarette vending machine opera tor is charged a fee of $25, re- gardless of how many machines he owns.
 Under the measure, introduced by Sen Lester Bronson, there would have been $50 fee for each cigarette vending machine under constant observation by the owner or an agent and $l50 for each machine not under constant Observation.
 Bronson said when he intro duced the bill 1t was intended to halt the purchase of cigarettes by minors from unattended vend- ing machines.

Just do not knowl
A. Priests are people. There
are occasions when the priest
oversteps his position and
speaks authoritatively in sub
jects-or aspects of subjects
on which he is partly or
wholly uniformed. Neverthe-
less, the priest is a divinely
appointed guardian of each
persons moral and spiritual
life and of the sacrament Of
m~atrimony. It is his duty to
inform married people of
their rights and of their
duties.
The letter to the editor
which you mentioned was
highly emotional in its attack
on the priests advice in re-
gard to marriage relations
No marriage is without its
trials, and misunderstanding
in regard to sex relations is
one of the worst. 1t is still
necessary to stress the princi-
pie given by st. Paul: "The
wife has not authority over
her body, but the husband;
the husband likewise has not
authority over his body, but
the wife. Do not deprive each
other, except perhaps by con-
sent, for a time, that you may
give yourselves to prayer;
and return together again lest
Satan tempt you because you
lack self-control." q Corinth.
ians 7:4-5)
The husband must be loving
and considerate and so must

expect affection as well as re-

mains. The husband, there
fore, has a corresponding OBJ
legation to be aware of the
wife's attitude. The unmarried
priest might be compared to
an unmarried physician or
psychiatrist. He has many
sources of information and he
has a duty to console, in
form and Cat times) direct
the souls in his charge.
Each married couple shares
a particular experience of
marriage, but the priest
through his study of moral
questions in theology
and his acquaintance with
many good and many unhap-
ply and broken marriages has
a better general knowledge.
Magazine articles, such as the
one this lady was attacking,
are difficult for the priest,
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-06-01

because he cannot give moral
and spiritual advice that will
fit every couple. That remains
for a marriage study group,
for the confessional, for
sound reading on such ques-
tons and for the individual
conscience.
The Catholic who attacks
the priests competency in re-
gard to moral matters in mar
riage is often over-sensitive
about some experience that
is personal. There are a num-
Der of Christian principles in
marriage; it is the priests
duty to explain them.

On a windy January af-

slumped to his knees on a
residential street in Phil
adelphia, a few blocks
from the new cathedral.
Passersby rushed to his
aid. Gently they carried him
into the nearest house, not
knowing who he was. The
dark clothing indicated that
ne might be a cleric. Some
one summoned a priest.

~ All IN all, it had been a
long journey-the 40 years of
this unaSsuming little man in
the frayed black suit and
broken shoes.
All his Life he had literally
been on the go. All his life
he had been in a hurry; he
had made a private VOW
never to waste a moment.
All his life, too, he had been
a scholar, but with little time
to read.
AS BISHOP OF HALF of
Pennsylvania, with Delaware
and some of Jersey included
such was the Diocese of
Philadelphia in the year 1852
John Neumann spent half
his days travelling by buck
board, coach and canalboat,
on the pastoral visitation of
his Sprawling diocese - lush
farmlands, grimy coal towns,
seaside and mountain places.
Parts of his story ring like
a plot of Horatio Alger. A
poor Bohemian immigrant,
he arrived in New York with
a dollar in his pocket and a
dream in his heart. The
dream was to work as a mis-
sionary in North America.
When he landed at Staten Is
land in 1886, he was not even
a priest. The previous year
he had completed his studies
at Budweis and Prague.
A month after his arrival
he knelt before Bishop John
Dubois in st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral for ordination.
A week later, he was pas
tor of a piece of Western
New York as big as his ma
tive land. Four years of pio-
neering along the Niagara
Frontier, hiking the dank pri-
meval woods around Buffalo,
and the call of a religious vo-
cation summoned him else.

Because of his position

His position entailed more
travel.

his life. Only that by nature
John Neumann was the sort
who preferred to stay put.
BY nature he was a scholar.
He enjoyed reading in any of

IN NATURAL sciences he
was far from an amateur. AS
