pattern of locating away from
the everyday world.
Only Father Maurice leaves
the hermitage, and only in
frequently.
The hermits eat meat only
when reasons of health de-
mand. In Lent and Advent, as

REPORT CARD:
BY Mssr. Bennett Apologize
School Superintendent

In June, 1861, students
of Holy Cross School de-
voted the final edition of
the school newspaper to
the closing of their school.
Their reactions to the closing
of the school revealed sensi-
tivity to a growing eity's prob
lens and the resulting
changes affecting their own
lives.
Recently the newspaper of
one of the Diocesan high
schools interviewed Father
George Fulcher who stressed
the important part the Cath
Ole press plays in shaping a
Christian concept of life.
USE THESE TWO ex-
amples to point out that our
schools attempt to keep school
life constantly in touch with
the realities of daily living
and that students turn to
their school newspapers to
express their opinions con-
corning their experiences.
1T WAS IN 1888 THAT
Pope Plus XII sent to the
Cardinals, the Archbishops,
and the Bishops of the Ameri-
can Hierarchy a letter stat
ing that special attention
must be given to the sciences
of civics, sociology and eco
Monies in order to bring to
bear upon the pressing prob
lens Of our times Christian
principles of justice and
charity.
THE HOLY FATHER urg-
ed the implementation Of a
constructive program Of so.
cial action tranSlating into
practice the social and eco.
nomic teachings of t c
Church. In other words, the
students in the Catholic
school were to become more
and more aware of the in.
trinsic relation between love
of God and love of neighbor
SINCE THAT TIME the
school curriculum specificial
ly provides that all activities
aim to inspire the students
to carry the truths learned
in the classroom into THEN
homes, TO the Fairgrounds, tc
the larger community.
To aid in this carry-over
students must be kept aware

Two Dover Men
Held In Scheme
To Sell Stolen
Cars In Area

A stolen car resale scheme has
been uncovered in this area by
FBI agents and Delaware and
Maryland state police. Eli Kap-
Ian, A, of Dover and Harry N.
Morgan, 40, of RID A, Dover,
were charged Tuesday with
transporting stolen motor vehic-
les across state lines and ar
raigned before U. S. Commits
sioner Nicholas Rodriguez at
Dover. Both waived a hearing
and each posted a $4,000 bond.
Kaplan operates Mid-Del Auto
Parts, Inc, on U. S. l3, north
of Smyrna, and Morgan is the
operator of Highway Motors,
Inc, on u. S. l3, at Bishops
Corner. Kaplan and Morgan
were charged as the result of
an investigation which disclos-
ed that car serial plates from
wrecked automobiles have been
placed on automobiles stolen in
New York City and sold in Del
aware. Edward ]. Powers, Bal
timore FBI chief, explained the
scheme this way: A wrecked
car is sold as junk and its title
is turned over to the purchaser.
The car serial plate is removed
from the junked car and put
on a stolen automobile that fits
the description of the title OF
the junked car. This gives the
stolen car an apparently legiti-
mate title and serial number
and makes the resale of the
stolen car appear legal. Six such
cars have been positively iden-
titled in the Dover area and one
in Maryland, FBI officials stated
Wednesday. Two other prob
ables in the Dover area are still
being checked out which brings
the total cars involved at this
time to nine. The investigation
is being continued in New York
and Delaware.

Linked by RIFE
Lions Told Here
By Otis Smith

Radio Free Europe breaks
through the monopoly of ideas,

Eastern Europe has not given
up hope for freedom, he con-
tinued. He described the mon
opoly of all communications,
the brain washing operation, the
rule by brutality, and the in
tent of the Russians. The speak
er was talking through first

satellite nations by cold, brute
force, the world learned, but

profit body, supported and en-
dorsed by eighty national or
ganizations, he explained. The
