suit that his book has the
merits of neither.
It lacks a photography, and
it has a rather cavalier APP
proach to footnoting. The or
ganization of the book is
sometimes so extensive that
it is more of a distraction
than all aid to clarity.
AT THE SAME time, how.
ever, it is probably too
weighty for the passing read
er who may have but a nod
ding acqua i ntance with
Church history. Further, it
would seem that if Herder is
going to charge S12 for a his
tory book, they could at least
include a few maps, indispen-
sible aids eto the understand
ing of history.
These faults are outweigh
ed, however, by the approach
Of the author: an approach
that is surely a welcome
change from the run-of-the-
mill catalogues of Catholic
history. Father Ebe r h
correctly views the Church
as the living body of Christ.
He sees this Mystical Body
ever vibrant in the midst of
the affairs of the world. Yet
this tremendous concept is
not boldly foisted upon the
reader of history, but is rath-
er subtly interiected into the
history he reads.
If you don't mind paying
$12 for naples book with
haphazard footnoting, A SUM-
MARY OF CATHOLIC HIS
TORY is almost 900 pages of
enjoyably informative read
ing on the first fifteen Gen.
turtles of the Church's ex-
istence. The second and final
volume has just been publish
ed.
NOW ADMITTE Y, one
cannot judge an historical
novel by the same criteria
that one judges a book of his
tory presented from a rather
novel point of view. Never
theless, when a piece of his
torical fiction is but remote
ly historical and absurdly fic-
tional at the same time, it is
only a matter of justice for a
reviewer to caution the pub
lie about such a book.
ST. PAUL by Poirier has
so stretched the well-knoWn
facts of history into an often
sloppily told mesh of coinci-
dence that the book reads
more like a decadent piece
of eighth-century apocrypha
instead of a Notwithstanding
work of art. Next to an his
torical novel with an early
Christian theme like Cos
tain'S THE SILVER CHAL-
ICE, ST. PAUL measures up
about as Imply as Mother
Goose to Jane Austen.
If you have 1895 to throw
away, don't waste it COM
pletely by buying this ridicu-
lous book.

The whole point is. of
course, that God intended one
partner to educate the other
in this matter of growth in
love. 1t is strange that parents
who will accept their long

guage, however, did seem a
bit strong in referring to Fa-
ther Lombardi's proposals for
changes in the Curia as crash
and unjust"
Osservatore said that Faith
er lombard did not do JUS
tice to the Curia because he
did not give enough credit TO
it's "great worthiness and
magnificent work for the
Church and for souls"
Osservatore, in other words,
criticized Father lombard
not for what he did say, but
for what he didn't say in the
way of appreciation for the
Curia's labors.
THIS IS understandable.
The Osservatore article re-
portedly was written by the
secretary of the councils pre-
paratory commission, Msgr.
Pericle Felici.
Msgr. Felici obviously has
observed the hard work and
dedication Of the numbers of
the Curia - the Church's CEN
trail governing body and
wants the Curia to be rightly
praised.
That's all right; but maybe
what Msgr. Felici considered
an omission could have been
corrected without calling Fa-

AS to Father Lombardi's
suggestions, clearly they are
worthy of sympathetic consid-
Grafton. with an eye only to
the greater good of the Church

If liturgy, in your view, is
the art Of choosing between

monies, you have missed the
point. Liturgy acquires its
most basic meaning when it

members is implied in the pro-
posal that this governing
body be made more interna-
tional.
After all, we are all affect
ed by our environment. our
experiences, our education
and the culture around us;
and Italians do not see things
exactly as, say, Indians.
1t is simply facing reality
to say that the Curia would
probably have a wider world
view if fewer Italians, proper
t~ionately, and more of other
nationalities, were members.
NEITHER IS THERE any
thing exceptional in Father
Lombardi's remark that the
non-liturgical garb of the
higher clergy might be simpIi-
fled, and that ostentation of
all kinds should be avoided.
And what can be wrong
with proposing that some do
ceses are too small or too.
large; that bishops should col
laborate more; that a suggest
ted retirement age be set, and
that future bishop-material re-
ceive special training.
Father lombard said that
q world senate of the laity to
advise the Vatican would be
a good thing. | think he's
right; amid the complexities
of modern life. the knowledge,
experience and insights of lay
leaders are surely valuable.
IF CATHOLIC ACTION is
the participation of the laity
in the apostolate of the HER
archy - as it is - then the
participation should be made
as intimate and effective as
possible. This certainly would
contribute to unity and
strength in the Church's
work.
Father lombard was by no
means the first to suggest
that the Church return to the
practice of ordaining lay dea-
cons to assist priests where
priests are few. African mis-
sionaries, who value their lay
catechists like priceless gems,
would surely welcome such a
change.
SEE NOTHING alarming
in the proposal that the cleo
ton of non-cardinals as popes
be made practically possible,
as it now is in principle. This
is not to say that the College
of Cardinals has not given us
exceptional popes - we need
merely tick off Leo XIII, Ben
edict XIV, Plus XI. Plus XII
John XIII, and others. Still,
why not widen the field in
which excellence might be
sought?
Finally, is it not good sense
to say that Sisters could be
assigned to greater advantage,
in view of the almost unlim-
tied possibilities open to
women in the modern world?
1t seems to me that there is
justice in the complaint of a
German Catholic publication
that Father lombard "was
corrected like a schoolboy"
when he should have been
thanked. But like Father Lom-
bardi, I decline to get excited
about IL.

ADDITIONAL BOOKS
PLANNED FOR DARE
LIBRARY SHORTLY

Mrs. Jean T. Ward, joint
Dare urrituck county libra
rian for five years, has returned
to her post at the Dare county
library this year after a one
year absence to teach in public
schools. She taught last year in
Griggs Elementary school in
Currtiuck county.
She also commented that her
job this year is easier than 1t
ordinarily would have been due
to the "work the staff has done
during the winter" She added,
"They have done a commmend-
able job" \
This week Mrs. Ward COM
mented that she was quite anx-
ious to get the library building
fund growing faster and said
she hoped to see the machinery
in motion to keep the fund NOV
ing within a few days. Since
last summer the fund has grown
slowly.
Other immediate plans for the
library this summer include a
book buying program which is
expected to add from 900 to 1000
books to the $4,000 already
shelved in the Dare County
Library. Mrs. Ward also express
ed hope that plans could be COM
pleted to initiate a system of
closer cooperation for book ext
changes between the Currituck
and the Dare library. She ex-
pressed her admiration for the
progressive views held by the
Dare County Library Board and
the Dare County Board of Com
missioners. Both groups, she
said, have been very energetic
in their support of the Dare
County Library.

POTATO DAMAGE SURVEY
By III. HI. Harris
Tyrrell County Agent

COLUMBIA - Nine farmers
were contacted during an Euro
pean corn borer damage survey.
The damage to Irish potatoes
this year seems to vary from
community to community. Har-
vey and Edward Davis, Floyd
Hollis and Ulyless Clough re-
ported Irish potato vines damag-
ed by corn borers this year more
than the past two years. The
other five growers contacted in
dicated damage to their potato
stems was about the same or
less than the last two years.
Harvey and Edward Davis had
the most plants damaged even
after five applications on insec-
ticides. The first one was timed
about right but the second was
delayed two or three days by
rain.

two months; and the third and
succeeding months will drop to
the normal one-month rate.
These changes in Dare County
telephone service reflect a long
history of service to the Abe
marie area by Norfolk and Caro-
lima Telephone and Telegraph.
Beginning in 1902 with an oper-
ating capital of 100000 and
two employees, to operate less
than 100 phones the company
has expanded to it's present
operation which employs almost
200 persons to service over 49,
900 phones with operating pro-
perities of over five million dol
lars. The company has grown
by stock and bond sales rather
than profit, since all profit is
regulated by the State Utilities
Commission.
Norfolk and Carolina Tele-
phone and Telegraph was found
ed by DR.. L. S. Blades in Eliza
beth City for town service and
expanded into the Albemarle
area with connections on to Nor
folk. DR.. Blades purchased the
Elizabeth City Telephone Com
pany which had been founded
in 1896 and failed. The Norfolk
and Carolina Company has con-
tinued under the same manage
ment since it's founding in 1902.
AS the growing company ex-
banded over the Albemarle re-
gion it followed the bridge con-
struction into Dare County with
lines beginning in 1929 to serve
the beach and Manteo. A manual
exchange was established in
Manteo in October of 1929 with
Miss Bell Midget and Miss
Ozella Payne as the two original
operators. Both are still living
in Manteo and have retired after
long service with the company.
Developing" as President L.
S. Blades, Jr. says, with the
community" Norfolk and Caro-
lima went to Hatteras Island in
1888. Early Outer Banks tele-
phone service boosted only few
scattered pay stations. Later
these were increased and private
service was initiated.
Then, on June first, 1854, an
automatic exchange was es-
tablished on Kill Devil Hills and
in 1858 the company built a Hat
teras Island exchange at Buxton.
When the Manteo manual ex-
change becomes automatic next
week it will mark the end of
manual service for the company.
By the end of this year it is ex-
pected that there will be no man.
