Oife hundred per cent by Thursday night!ThaiJ was the battle cry Tuesday noon at the last luncheon report meeting in the
$500,OOQ; building fund can\paign being conducted on behalf of the Loretto Heights college, Denver. The workers Who met Tuesday in the Cosmopolitan hotel realized it was going to |e a tough “ stretch rtin” in the final two days as the reports reached only to $308,- 863. . f . More than $190,000 to go.
Tl^ gift of $25,000 by Mrs. Helen Bonfils Somnes, announced Wednesday, spurred the w or^rs’ determination. | Other donations were received that raised the fund total to $340,000’at Wednesday nooni Among the giftswas a second contribution of $5,000 from the El Pom ^ foundation through Mrs. Spencer Penrose of the Broadmoor
No one seemed downhearted, and' especially were certain of the pastors of the parishes seemingly bubbling under the spell of some secret knowledge. There were rumors tossed about a bit carelessly to the effect that one, or two . . . or maybe three . . . of them were holding out certain facts that the other one or two, would like to know.

Challenge Is Passed
Denver Sacred Heart Brpadcast Success
Succesi greeted the first presentation of the Denver Sacred Heart radio program, which wiU - be broadcast every Sunday at 12:45 noon over station KMYR. Congratulatory telephone calls began to arrive! at the station immediately following the program and a host of letters received at Regis during the week testified to the interest aroused.
The Vdry Rev. Raphael C. McCarthy, $.J., president of Regis college, yas the speaker on the opening program and music was furnished by the Regis Glee club.
The Most Rev. Bernard J. Sullivan. SJu, Titular Bishop of Halicarnassus and for 17 years Bishop of Patna, India, will be the speaker on Sunday, Feb. 29. The program is under the direction of the Rev. Richard E. Arnold, S.J., director of music at Regis college.
Others explained there probably was nothing to it but a bit of idle gossip and wishful thinking, BUT they did admit the ground work fora bit of innocent skullduggery had
previous luncheonbeen laid at ameeting, when someone from the Holy Ghost parish had hurled challenge to the effect that if either the Blessed Sacrament parish or the St. Philoroena parish bested the Holy Ghost parish, or vice versa, the low team among the three had to buy the pastor in command of the high team a complete n*w set of vestments. Probably just idle chatter, said the rumor monger.
The reports of two of the three teams were about even Tuesday, both being slightly over the $8,000 mark, with the Very Rev. Harold V. Campbell, pastor of the Blessed Sacrament parish, announcing his team had “ no report today.”
Alumnae Division Surpasses Goal
The standings of the various groups in the campaign as announced Tuesday showed the Alumnae division as the only one which to date has passed its goal The division had a goal of $11,000 and Tuesday reported a total of $12,882, with more to come. The Students’ division was striving mightily to reach its goal of $30,- 000 with a Tuesday report of $20,- 748, and with the senior students at the college leading in the drive with a report of 112 per cent of their goal reached.
The major gift division, under the chairmanship of the Rev. Elmer J. Kolka, reported $153,500 Tuesday, only $46,500 short, with good prospects ofgoing over. Father Kolka said. The parish army, under the direct guidance of Mon- signor William M. Higgins and Father Campbell, reported $82,411 from Denver parishes and $27,- 560 from outside parishes, a total of $109,971.
The Business and Professional Men’s group had made only a small percentage of its calls, but reported it was speeding up and expected to bring home the bacon before 'Thursday night. The women’s team from the American Legion auxiliary was leading in the number of calls completed. The division reported $11,762 toward its goal of $75,000.
Fort Collins Pastor Won Fame For Grocery, Mop Factory
Fr. John Fullana to Note S ilve r Ju b ile e March 7
Plans are being completed by the people of Holy Family parish in Fort Collins for the observance on Sunday. March 7, of the silver sacerdotal jubilee of the pastor, the Rev. John Fullana, C.R. He will celebrate a Solemn Mass as a highlight of the celebration.
Sincel J936, when Father Fullana arrived in Fort Collins, he has compiled an unusual record. He won the I hearts of the Spanishspeaking people of his congregation by his untiring work ;n their behalf. To them he is not onlv a prie.s't of marvelous zeal, but a successful grocer and an expert in manufacture of mops.
On his arrival in Fort Collins, the priest was faced with many problems. His people needed financial assistance. The church was not conipleted. The parish school needed repairs.
.And ^ Father Fullana set up the Spanish Industrial center in the basement of the church and began ihe manufacture of mops. The profit realized on the mops, although j it provided a humble living for the workers, was not sufficient to carry out the much- needed' improvements on the parish plant. He finally hit on the idea of a co-operative grocery. “ I knew all: our people would buy from us. 'It would save money for them, and furnish the funds to make needed improvements.”
The church building, a mere shell sipce its dedication some years beJiJre, came first in the energetic (priest’s plan. A furnace and a stoker were.snstalled and the sacristy I was remodeled to serve as a winter chapel. A choir loft was built.fthe walls were plastered.
and supervisor of the manufacture of mops. Father Fullana was always the priest. It was not unusual for a customer to enter thC store and first kis.s the priest’s hand— the same hand that weighed out a pound of pinto beans or reached for a can of tomatoes. Whenever a sick call would come,
Rev. John Fullana, C.R.
and thejceiling was covered withcelptex.
After fihe pews had been thoroughly cleaned and varnished Father Firtlana procured a number o f stainetl |(iass windows to delight the hearts of his parishioners. He even succeeded in saving enough to purchase a tabernacle for the high altar.
In all hia work ai grocery clerk
Father F u l l a n a immediately turned over the store to one of his helpers and was o ff on what he called his “ first’ work of all.”
Father Fullana was born in Mallorca, Spain, in March, 1893. He took his classical, philosophical, and theological studies at the Theatine seminary, St. Espenolet, i. Mallorca.
On Feb. 24, 1923, he w-as ordained in the Cathedral in Palma, Mallorca, by Bishop R. Domenec for work in the Diocese of Major- icenis. On June 29, 1925, he arrived in the U. S. to work in the then Diocese of Denver. In addition to his assignment in Fort Collins,_ he was also stationed in St. Cajetan’s, Denver; Conejos, and Antonito.

BREAKFAST TO FOLLOW MASS MARCH 7 \
Up to 1,000 Will Attend Men’s CommunionM EM EN T O O F U T T LE FLOW ER G IV EN TO B IS H O P W IL L G IN G O F P U E B L O
A 17th century sundial that,a came originally from the parish church of St. Therese, the Little Flower, was presented last week toBishop Joseph C. Willging by the
d missiorfamed missionary of China, the Rev. Charles L. Meeus.
The Little Flower is patron of the Diocese of Pueblo, and the sun dial will be placed in the pro-
osed Church of St. Therese in 'ueblo, Bishop Willging said.
Father Meeus, who delivered the principal speech at the observance of Mission day in Ppeblo, left Denver Wednesday for Cincinnati.
History It Interesting The history of the sundial is
interesting and its connection'with Father Meeus, well-known apostle of the foreign missions, began on an August day in the year, 1947, at which time Father Meeus was making a tour of Europe. He is particularly interested in Lisieux since it was the dwellingi place of the Little Flower, patroness of the missions.
While rambling around near the church yard of the Parish of St. James in-Lisieux, home parish of the Little Flower, Father Meeus stopped to search among the rubble of,the church, heavily damaged by the attack June 6, 1944, which was D-day on the Normandy coast. One-half of the sundial, which was broken in two pieces, when it fell from the wall of the church to which it was attached, he rescued from the fate of being used to fill in a hole in the ground. He recognized it as a sundial and began to search diligently for the other half, which he also found after a long search.
How fitting a memento of the Little Flower, was his first thought, the priest said. “ Most probably the Little Flower gazid on it quite often as she came to the church with her father.” He inquired of the local clergy whether there would be an objection to his taking it with him. He learned there was no objection and took the
iece and had it mounted in a rass case.
“ From that time on,” he says, “ I prayed to the Little Flower to enlighten me in regard to its disposition. I asked that she would direct me to give the sundial into somebody’s hands so that it could be used to good advantage. It seems to me that because of the devotion of Bishop Willging to the Little Flower I should leave it with him in Pueblo.
Time !• Shadow “ How fitting it is that this me
mento i.s connected with time,” he said. “ The dial works by the shadow of the sun. We Catholics must be like the shadow of the sun which is God’s truth and like flowers we must turn our faces to that sun.
“ We should be ever more conscious that time, which the dial measures, is only a shadow which passes. Eternity is our goal. Eternity is a state and a place in which there is no time.”
Along with the gift of the dial. Father Meeus included a highly decorated album of pictures showing the history of the sundial and testifying to the details of its discovery and authenticity.
According to the older townspeople o f Lisieux, the father of the Little Flower, who was a watchmaker, often compared the time of his watches with that shown on the dial. In Lisieux there still lives a Madame Dubois,
little old lady born in 1873. She was a, member of the same class in which St. Therese made her First Holy Communion. Madame Dubois testified to the history of the sundial.
It was the same day, Aug, 20, 1947, the day on which Father Meeus discovered the limestone antique sundial, that he talked to Mother Agnes of Jesus, the 86- year-old blood sister of the Little Flower, in the Carmel of Lisieux.
Family Donates For 5th Time to
Fund fo r Burse
pretty good-sized
“ Mony a mickle makes a muckle” runs the old Scottish proverb. It is a concise way of saying that, if you keep on adding a little bit to something, soon you will have a pile.
The proverb came to mind this week when the Denver Chancery office' announced donations to the Sacred Heart seminary burse. The Lavin family gave $3 to the fund. According to the Chancery, it was at least the fifth time that the family has donated to the burse fund.
Do not be hesitant at giving even a small amount to the burse, which is being sponsored by Archbishop Urban J. Vehr to help pay for the education of a student for the priesthood. A small gift now and then will amount to a really respectable sum.
Other donations in the week were anonymous, Denver, $10, and'-anonymous, $25. The fund now is $5,372, with $6,000 as the goal. The interest from this sum is used to help miet the tuition payment for one student, which now is $500 yearly.
Address all communications to the Most Rev. Urban J. Vehr, Chancery office, 1536 Logan street, Denver, Colo.
From 800 to 1,000 are expected to attend the men’s annual Communion breakfast in Denver on Sunday, March 7. The event will open with a Mass at 8 o’clock in the Cathedral to be celebrated by Archbishop Urban J. Vehr. Immediately following the Mass the men will attend a breakfast in the Lincoln room of the Shirley-Savoy hotel.
Members of the parish Altar and Rosary society, with Mrs. Clara Dearman in charge, will serve the breakfast.
Delivering the principal address at the event will be the Rev. John McDevitt *f Laramie, Wyo.
The toastmaster for the pro gram will he Dr. Robert J. Bliss,
. . . , , and the invocation will be givenThe principal speaker will be;by the Very Rev. Eugene O’Sulli-
Coadjutor Bishop Hubert M. Newell o f Cheyenne, former superintendent of schools in the Denver archdiocese. Jack Barry is in charge of arrangements for the event, which is being sponsored by the Denver Knights of Columbus council.
Committees, under the direction of Edward Clinton, Sr., will be at all Denver churches this Sunday, Feb. 29, to distribute tickets for the breakfast at $1 each.
Ft. Collini Plant BreakfattIn Fort Collins the annual cor
porate Communion breakfast for men, sponsored by the K. of C. council 1214, will also be held Sunday, March 7. The Mass will be offered at 8:30 in St. Joseph’s church, followed by breakfast in St. Joseph’s school cafeteria.
Dominicanettes Plan 1st Meeting Sunday;
W ill Help S i s t e r sThe first meeting of the Do
minicanettes, an organization of high school girls who have volunteered to assist the Dominican Sisters in their work among the sick poor, will take place in the Corpus Christ! convent, 2501 Gaylord street. Denver, Sunday, Feb. 29, .at 1 :45 p.m. The Rev. Frederick McCallin w i l l be the guest speaker. Girls interested in the work are invited to attend this meeting.
The Dominicanettes were chosen from among the high school stu dents for their interest in nursing and aid work. The group is patterned after similar organizations in Cincinnati and St. Louis, where teen-age Dominicanettes learn the rudiments of nurses' aid work and give practical assistance to the overworked Dominican Sisters of the Sick Poor.

1 D ID N 'T RAISE M Y B OY TO BE A F IR E M A N '-S O JAC K 'S A LA W YER
By Jack Hehek John F. (Jack) Healy was not
reared to be a fireman. His father, the late John F. Healy, Sr., nationally known Denver fire chief, threatened his namesake with dire punishment if he caught him inside a fire house. And so Jack Healy turned to the study of law, and is today assistant director in the enforcement division of the Colorado state revenue department. He is a member of Blessed Sacrament parish, Denver.
At 43, Jack Healy is as trim and athletic as he was back in his college days, when he earned allconference rank for three years as an end on the University of Colorado teams. He remembers with a grin the thrill of playing under the expert eye of Walter Eckersall, legendary football
reat, who was referee in the C. I. game with Creighton in 1924.
In 1929, Mr. Healy had completed his long course of training in law in the university and emerged with an A.B. and an LL.B. degree. For eight years he practiced law in Denver and vicinity. When the income tax de
partment of the state of Colorado was formed in 1937, he entered public service. A reorganization of the department in 1941 found him raised to the assistant director’s office in the enforcement division. He served in the state senate in 1933.
The old Sacred Heart academy, forerunner of Regis college high school, was the scene of Mr. Healy’s early education. There was that “good old days” look in his eye as he recalled the spirit and sports prowess of the Sacred Heart Athletic club, the “ Shack,” as it was called.
The prominent state official is the father of two girls: Joanne, a student at the University of Colorado, and Jacqueline, 16. Jacqueline has been in the hospital for treatment of polio. She fell victim to the malady in June of 1947. Her progress to recovery is reported as good.
Mrs. Healy, the former Charlotte Weber of Deiyrer, is active in parish and archdiocesan activities, and was co-chairman last year of the Easter Monday ball.
van, St. Joseph’s pastor. Claude J. Peay, grand knight of council 1214, will also speak.
Plan to Sponsor Radio Broadcasts
A six-week series of radio broadcasts will be sponsored over KCOL, Fort Collins, by the Knights of Columbus there. Entitled “ The Foundation of American Ideals,” the series will be aired every Tuesday evening at 7:45.
The series deals with the development of democratic ideals through Christianity and political events in England from the Magna Charta through later centuries. It also describes the effect of the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution in the development of democracy as it is knbwn today.
Regis Student Wins In Oratory Contest
A student of Regis high school, Denver, Donald Murphy, was the winner in the oratorical contest sponsored by the Denver K. of C. council. The finals were held in the K. of C. hall, E. 16th and Grant, on Monday night, with eight students from Denver Cath olic high schools competing.
Winning second place was Margaret Marvel of Holy Family high school, and Patricia Harmon of St, Francis de Sales’ high school was third. Each was presented a trophy by the Rev. Thomas Lo Cascio, O.S.M., pastor of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel parish, Denver, who was chairman of the contest.
Others participating incTuded Gene Benson, William Burke, Joseph Grebenc,.Jame4^1einschnitz,and Catherine Morroni

and third degrees was held for 46 new members of the Knights of Columbus Supday, Feb. 22. The ceremonies in the K. of C. hall were followed by a buffet luncheon and social. Some 250 couples attended the dance given in honor of the new members Sunday evening.
Day of Recollection Slated in Academ y
On Monday, March 8The Rev. Charles F. Kruger,
S.J., will conduct a day of recollection in St. Mary’s academy, Denver, Monday, March 8, beginning with Mass at 9:30 and ending with Benediction at about 3:30 p.m. All friends of St. Mary’s academy, members and friends of the Mothers’ club, and* others interested in attending the spiritual exercises are cordidly invited to attend.
Luncheon will be at 12:30. All guests and members are reminded to bring a sandwich, ’ but dessert and coffee will be furnished by the Mothers’ club. If possible, make reservations by calling Mrs. Herman Seep (EA. 8165), Mrs. C. A. Freudenstein (EA. 4357) or Mrs. Charles Fmdle (FR. 6169).
Temporary Chapel To fie Housed inSchool B u ild in gConstruction on the first unit of the Christ the King
parish plant ip Bast Denver will start this spring as soon as arrangements can be made, it was announced this week by the Rev. John Scannell, pastor. The building will house a complete eight-grade school and also will give room for a temporary chapel. Father Scannell was unable to find a place in which to offer Sunday Mass until a parish building was completed.
The proposed edifice, final plans for which have not yet been completed, will be 58 feet wide by 188 feet long. There will be eight class rooms eventually on the main floor. The south half of the floor, four rooms, will be devoted for the time being to a chapel. The building will be erected at the corner of East Eighth avenue and Elm street.
B e c a u s e the ground slopes steeply to the north, there will be space for several rooms on a ground floor under the north half of the main floor. In this section there will be.two large classrooms, a school library and administration room, an office and living quarters for the pastor, the boiler room, and toilets.
Brick will be used throughout the building with the interior finished in a glazed brick. Fluorescent lighting and other modern advances will be incorporated in" the building. John K. Monroe is the architect.
The parish drive for the building fund has not been completed, but Father Scannell says that at least 65 per cent of the parishioners have made pledges. He says he iswell satisfied at the progress of the drive in the collection of funds andfeels sure the outcome will be a success.
An active building committee has been assisting Father Scannell in making plans for the school. Members are Charles Campbell, John Campbell, R. Paul Horan, George E. McCaddon, Albert Seep, C. N. Wilder, John Bruno, Charles Cassidy, Sr.; Harold Collins, Dr. William Earley, Joseph naugh, L o u i s Kintzel^f Dr. Harry W. Swigert, Sr.; and Frank Tettemer.

T H R U T H E A T IN T S ARRIVING FEB. 26
Three Theatine prieit* were •cleduled to arrire in Denrer from Rome Thureday morning, Feb. 26, according to an announcement by the Very Rev. John Ordinal, C.R. They will aitiet in the pariihei and raii- sion* in Colorado and Mexico (taffed by the Theatine Fa- theri.
They are the Rev. Antonio Barceio, the Rev. Matthew Bar- celo, and the Rev. Salvatore Mantua. Although the first two hate the same family name they are not related to each other. The three clergymen arrived in New York city on Feb. 21.
Father Joseph L. Lilly, C.M., | a Scriptural scholar of nation- I wide reputation and professor 1 of Sacred Scripture in St. I Thomas’ seminary, Denver, un- | til 1941, is the latest translator | of the gorgeous Hebrew poem- | drama, the Canticle of Canticles l (N.Y., Declan X. McMullen Co- I $3). This is the first publica^| tion of the Catholic Scripture j library, a new enterprise of the j Catholic Biblical association, 1
j one of whose aims is to make I I available to the Engli.sli-speak- j j ing public choice volumes of j j the Scriptures. |I Knew Gospels jI By Heart I] The commentary on this ji much-disputed book of the Old f I Testament is by the late Father j 1 William Pouget. C.M., and I ) his pupil, Jean Guitton, who de- j i scribes his master as one who | j knew, in both Latin and Greek, j I the books of the New Te.stament i i by heart and who could recite i I long passages of the Old in I I Hebrew. “ .\t sixty,” says M. | I Guitton, “ Father Pouget experi- I I enced a second spring. At j ,i eighty he blossomed out, and at |
Kava- I eighty-six he passed away with ij a smile.” j! Follows Form jJ Of Greek Drama iI The commentators describe II the eight chapters that make up f j the so-called Song of Solomon I I as a poem, fashioned on the i I plan of a Greek drama, but | I never actually produced. It has i I three characters: Solomon, a j i king (but not the famous Solo- I ; m on); the Shulamite, a beau- I tiful peasant girl of Lebanon, i who is enticed into the palace I of the king; and her shepherd I husband, reJferred to as “ The I Beloved.” The Shulamite re- I sists Solomon’s wooing and re-I turns to her husband. Although I often thought sensual by ill-j informed persons, the Canticle \ of Canticles has as its moral I lesson (besides its meaning) j the inculcation of the indis- I solubility of marriage and the I duty of conjugal fidelity.

Big A rt ContestArthur Garcia, a junior at An
nunciation high school, is the winner of two awards— one first place, one second place—for his entries in the state-wide regional scholastic art exhibition now being held
at the May company, D e n v e r . S e lection was made from some 1,800 entries in eight divisions.
A head, carved from mahogany, drew first place for Arthur in the scu lpture division; a head, modeled in clay, s e c o n d place. Both will be for
warded to the Carnegie institute, Pittsburgh, Pa., for entry in the National Scholastic Art exhibit.
Arthur Garcia
Arthur, who is the son of Mrs. Ruth Samora, 13 Elati street, will receive a scholastic awards art achievement key for each placement in the state exhibit, and is now a contestant for on^or more of the cash awards offend as a national pfize. Sister Bernardine has been his art instructor during his three years at Annunciation.
Of the 125 winning paintings and art objects in the display at the May company, there are two other entries submitted by the Denver parochial high schools. Bonita Lee Jones, a Cathedral student, received an achievement key for a watercolor painting, and Carolyn Berg of St Francis de Sales’ high received honorable mention for her painting.
This nation-wide contest is sponsored annually by the Scholastic magazine. Forty-five junior and senior high schools were represented in the Colorado contest The exhibit will remain at the May company until March 6.
In 1946, another Annunciation student, Donald Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Johnson, of 36€3 Race street, won a scholastic achievement key, for his entry in ceramics.
der of the K.K.K. in Colorado, died suddenly, gave a great deal of information that had been gathered by that paper, though much of it was then published for the first time. We herewith reproduce a good deal of history from that article, but add other data.
In October of 1924, Hiram Wesley Evans, national head of the Klan, visited Denver and induced Locke to become “ Grand Dragon again of the organization for Colorado.” Locke had been Grand Dragon before. He told me himself that he organized the Klan in Colorado. Whether he took the actual first steps is not evident.
The visit of Evans, secret at the time, was revealed at Locke’s death by Rex B. Yeager, who was Exalted Cyclops of the Klan when Locke was Grand Dragon. Yeager for a long time operated a mortuary at Speer boulevard and Sherman street, Denver, later taken over by the Olinger mortuary. Whether is was true or not we do not know, but a large part of the public felt that Yeager lost the business because of his Klan activities.
Locke was taken to that mortuary when he died. His funeral services were conducted in its “ chapel,” where he had initiated many Denverites into the K.K.K. during the early 20’s.
The Post article said of Locke: “ Short, stout, and a little pompous.with a steely eye and a picturesque
■ ■ lillVan Dyke beard and carefully trimmed mustache, he was a man who took pleasure in colorful costumes and the lure of mysticism.”
I am not so sure about the mys- ticism. It is a much misused word. The primary definition implies spiritual illumination w i t h o u t sense perception or ratiocination. Great saints are often mystics, and there is a fraudulent imitation of real mysticism possible through diabolical influence. I do not think that Locke had any even of the latter type. He liked to appear mysterious, but he was certainly no mystic. For the greater part of his life, he was simply a drab medico who had been educated in a little frontier school.
“ Those who knew him well,” commented Chapin in the Post, “ felt sometimes that he was a character out of some feudal age. Modem political and social ideas had passed him by.”
It is interesting for me to remember a comment on iihe GrandDragon passed by a brHliant re porter whi0 was sent to Denver at the height of the Klan wave to in- (Turn to Pages Column 4)

(Continued From Page One) terview both me and Dr. Locke for the feature service of the Scripps- Howard organization. Seven hundred dailies carried the interview, with a burning cross beside Locke’s picture and a non-burning one beside mine. The decoration, was prophetic. Locke’s burned up long ago; mine is still here. The reporter, in chatting with me, com- menteij on what he had seen of Locke’s office and of the attempt there to promo^ an air of mystery. "The whole thing,’’ he comment^, "seemed to me thoroughly illegitimate.’’
Foundnd in 1920Dr. Locke, up to about 1920, de
voted all his time to his medical jractice, his domestic affairs, and lis love of firearms (he was a "remarkable marksman’’ ).
William J. Simmons came here In his own imperial wizardly person to launch the Klan, then spreading like a prairie fire throughout the nation. Leo Kennedy (now dead), who had known Simmons in the South, arranged to have him meet some prominent Denverites. The session was in the Brown Palace hotel, with Locke present. Simmons talked for some time, persuaded most of them to join, and held an initiation on the spot. Thus was born “ the bitterest political era in Colorado history.’’
At first Locke was Grand Dragon of both Colorado and Wyoming, but later Wyoming formed a separate "realm.’’.
Locke ruled with a strong hand and displayed a genius for leadership. As I have indicated before, be told me personally that his aim was personal power. I do not think he was bothered by scruples, but 1 never had any reason to suspect he was a bigot. He was merely a man willing to take advantage of bigotry.
It was not long until the Klan outgrew the Yeager mortuary. Then it moved to Woodman hall. It moved again to the Mining Exchange building; next to the Knights of Pythias hall, and later to Table mountain, near Golden The mountain meeting place was by far the most picturesque—a huge rock rising high above the plateau at the foot of the mountains and accessible In early days by means of a steeply inclined railroad that drew its little cars up by cables, with passengers sitting with their back to the mountain to see the superb view of the vast plains below. After Table mountain became too small for the crowds, the Klan bought the huge home of an abandoned industry, known as the Cotton Mills, beyond South Denver.
Political aspirants of all types joined the order; also many business men. Chapin writes that a number of judges fell in line. I often heard priests like Father William O’Ryan, who had many personal friends among the Protestant clergy, deploring the position the preachers were put into. Fanatics in their congregations joined the Klan, and forced the ministers in. Some, of course, needed no forcing; but it was either join or leave for a large number.
The initiation fee was $10. This entitled a member to a robe and hood. The dues after initiation were $6 a year.
Stapleton ‘Wai Member’CHiapin most definitely connected
Ben Stapleton, long the mayor of Denver, with the Klan. He wrote: “ Stapleton was a member of the Klan, a close ally of Dr. Locke, and according to Klan members made a pledge at one of the Klan meetings on top of Table mountain to work with and for the Klan.” As we have pointed out before, we did not find Stapleton a bigot. He was simply a politician willing to descend to such expediency.
In the early days of the Klan, men often #ent to meetings with their robes, probably donned in their cars. More than once persons who copied auto license numbers

outside meeting ball, and who checked on the owners gave us lists of the Kluxers. We never thought it worth while to engage in such investigations ourselves, and we never printed such lists. We had never heard of most of the nobodies.
Chapin in his article about Locke’s death said that the Table mountain meetings were spectacular. For hours before the gatherings the line of cars extended miles from Denver to the meeting place. A giant fiery cross stood before the big “altar” erected on the mountain. (The rock table must have been a ghastly climb by foot, for I believe the old inclined railroad had long been abandoned.)
"Stapleton was no sooner elected mayor,” says Chapin, "than it became evident that Dr. Locke in tended to pull the strings that moved his puppets. Every move of the mayor was dictated for him by the Grand Dragon. The appointment of William J. Candlish as chief of police was a typical example.”
Rumors of Candlish’s appointment had been current for several days. One day Stapleton, when making some calls at downtown offices, denied that Candlish would be appointed. When he returned to the City Hall, he found that Dr. Locke and the Klan had appointed Candlish. When ordered to sign the commission, Stapleton obeyed.
Governor Morley, who had been a district judge, was elected in late 1924. together with Rice W. Means, who became U. S. Senator, The state elections went largely K.K.K. that year. The Klan claimed control of the chief state officials and also of the Legislature. But it really got nowhere.
Morley made Locke a colonel in the National Guard as one of his first official acts. Later he made him a member of the State Medical Examiners. Both moves were a play to Locke’s childish vanity.
As I have pointed out before, Locke was not a member of the Medical society. I have discussed the rumors that he was an abortionist, and I have expressed a belief that he was nOt one. But now I have definite information that it was on suspicion of numerous abortions that he was not allowed into the society. A veteran doctor, of highest standing, not a Catholic, has given me the information in recent days, Locke was denied membership when his father, also a physician, was still alive. The old man urged that the society reconsider the case. It did. It refused to admit John Galen Locke.
Locke’s Klan office continued to be in his combined home and medical headquarters at 1345 Glenarm. He fitted the room with a soundproof door that could be opened only by pressing an electric button. An American flag, and a beautiful picture of Christ, were at the doctor’s desk. I was received with the utmost courtesy the day I called there to see Locke, when the Klan was breaking up, A preacher of one of the small sects, a man I knew to be virulent against the Catholic Church, met me at the door and conducted me to Locke’s office. The minister was courteous.
It would be unfair to either Ben Stapleton or Dr. Locke to claim that Catholics were mistreated at City Hall while the K.K.K. held sway there. The number of Catholic appointees by Stapleton, even in those days, was decently representative— and I am sure Dr. Locke, who told Kluxers to go to hell when they ordered him to dis-
jmiss his own Catholic secretary and housekeepers, m u s t have knowij the facts. Whatever we mighfchink about Dr. Locke, the man was not stupid.
The police department did for a time display too much Klan spirit. But of course the department had many of the old veterans left, and Denver police as a rule have always been reasonable and efficient men.
K.K.K. Grafter Caught During the Klan wave I had one
ugly experience in a northern Colorado town that I will not name. I went there to speak at a K. of C. dinner, by invitation of the Knights and the pastor. Four other priests made the trip with me, in my car, one of them, the famous Rev. James Keller, Mary- knoll missioner. When we had finished and had started home to Denver, with one of the other priests at the wheel, we proceeded at a slow pace toward the city limits and did not stop crawling until within a block of the wide open spaces. Suddenly a police siren stopped us.
The officer accused us of "speeding.” He would have taken us back and locked the driver up if we did not post money. He demanded $14.50 (which sum included a fine and “ costs” ).
Two weeks later, one of the party visited that city on business. He went to a judge and inquired whether the m on^ had been turned in. The official became abusive. The priest insisted. The money had not been turned ini It had been pocketed I
That night the chief of police of the city called me by long distance and pleaded for 26 minutes that I not press the case. I finally promised I would drop It.
We found, however, on later investigation, that the money was never turned in. None of it was refunded to me, either.
Our car was actually “ speeding” 25 miles an hour when this incident occurred, and all of us in the machine were aware of the speedometer reading. The policeman was a Kluxer who deliberately followed our machine to annoy a group of priests. He had waited outside the K. of C. banquet place to follow and to get us. (The city speed limit was then 20 miles.)
One of the K. of C. committee who had invited me to apeak later assured me that all this could not have happened. He knew the cop and the cop was a nice guyl

The guest speaker was Sister Jean Carmel, professor of English at Loretto Heights college. She gave an excellent review of the book. L a b y r i n t h i n e Ways, by Graham Greene.
The attendance prize was won by Sister Celine Marie’s room, and the .special prize went to Mrs. Bostwick.
St. Philomena’s Men’s club will meet in the school hall this Friday evening, Feb. 27, at 8 o’clock.
A special collection will be taken at all the Masses this Sunday, Feb. 29, for St. Philomena’s conference of the St. Vincent de Paul society. The large number of Christmas baskets supplied by the conference and other demands for relief make this appeal necessary.

Pre-Clinical Class Initiated at Mercy
The last official social function of the pre-clinical class of Mercy hospital, class initiation, was held Feb. 20. The upperclassmen and particularly the senior group made the initiation day festivities memorable for this leap year group of young nursing students. From early morning till the evening program, the re.sidence was the scene of the traditional nonsense that changes young "probies” into more mature student nurses. The evening program given by the pre- clinicals was cleverly done, based on the Dr. I. Q. theme, using medical and nursing terms exclusively.
The capping ceremony of Feb. 29, now that the initiation day activities are over, is eagerly anticipated by the group.
The flrmi lUted hert deserve to be remembered when you ore dis* tributinf your potronoft to the dif* ferent lines of business.

Gremlins, Raiders, Tigers Score Impressive VictoriesBy J im
Aa the Parochial l e i^ e merry-go-round approached the end o f ita aeaaon, aix teama climbed aboard for the regular Sunday twirl and the three faToritea atepped o ff victorioualy clutching gold ringa. The loaera emerged with only a aligbtly diazy feeling ftfr their pains.
Regii lecvred iti raoner-up position in tho loop witb - . a solid 45-37 cottqnost of Annunciation’s Cardinals. Catha-
drai and tha Holy Family Tigers followed with a roof-raising donnybrook that terminated in the Northsiders’ win eolnmn, 42-35, mainly through Muizy Voechiarelli’s inspired play and Jack Sweeney’s ejection two minutes into the final quarter. And bringing things to a fitting climax,St. Francis’ walloped a ragged crew of Bulldogs from St. Joseph’s, 56-33, as Long John Hatt scorched the nets for 25 points. The Fransalians grabbed a sura split for first place by their win.The fans came anticipating fireworks in the Tiger-Jay brawl
and got their wish. For two periods it looked as if Cathedral mi^ht repeat ita early-season victory. While the Bengals were depending solely upon the contributions of Vecchiarelli and Kelly to stay in the game, Sweeney and company benefited from a more equitable •pread of counters to take an 1M 6 intermission lead. Tbe advantage was achieved at the expense of four demerits against the business-like Irisher, however, which proved a weighty handicap in the later'going.
Coming out slightly scalding after a verbal tongue- lashing by Coach Fanning, the purple-shirts poured through 17 points in the third stanza to build an indestructible margin. Although he has seldom displayed greater talents in wheeling from the post, Sweeney's eight points in this period were insufficient support for the sagging Jays. Cathedral closed the gap briefly to 34-33 as the fourth quarter
opened, but Big Jack’s departure wrote finis to the spurt. The Utica
K s l l y -*street team moved on to the finish with onlf one further scoring interruption by the Bluejava
iiirBulldogs Start StrongFor one quarter it looked as if something lop in the S t Francis-St. Joseph tussle. Thi
was sharp and to the point, and only refusal of a few heartbreaken
of interest might e Bulldogs’ passing
to sink preventing them from matching the Gremlins shot for shot. What later developed, however, proved that the Fransalians merely required a little time to get the feel of things.
Sotting up a tight barrier before its own bucket to stop tbe Westside attack from functioning effectively in scoring territory, St. Francis’ moved into a commanding 20-12 intermission lead and widened the gap by leaps and bounds from that point in. A Bulldog splurge for six swisbers in tbe third was more than offset by deadly Gremlin efficiency at tbe charity line.With Sparkman departing via the foul path after one and a
half-minutes, St. Joseph’s fell into little pieces in the fourth quarter. Sam Jarvis’ boys rang the bell for 17 counters, 12 of them by an unstoppable Hett.
New Raider Comes ThroughRegis completed its regular season by fashioning a convincing
victory over the Annunciation Cards. In the first half, however, the Raiders were dependent upon a latecomer to the lineup, Dan Crenin, for their 20-18 bulge, as a tough Redbird defense tied up the regulars under the boards. Little Dick McCullough, who. gives promise of better things to come for the MacGregor team, pumped in four to keep his mates within striking distance.
Witb Chuck Sillstrop evading tight guarding in more accustomed manner, Regis’ superiority could not be denied in the last two periods. His eight points, plus three baskets by Burns, padded the score sufficiently to maintain tha advantage. In an effort to hold down Sillstrop, Cardinal defensemen often left the keyhole open for other. Raiders.
B y J a c k
The cautious Raiders o f Regis high school edged into sole possession o f second place in the Parochial league cage race last Thursday at Mammoth Garden by defeating Cathedral high, 20-19. It was an unspectacular victor]^'for the Red and White hoopsters, who scored nary a point in the final quarter, but spent their time staving o ff frantic Bluejay sorties.
In the other two games of the evening, the Holy Family Tigers came through as scheduled against St. Joseph’s, winning 46-25, and Annunciation high out^scored tbe Mullen'Mustangs, 47-46, in a fire horse tilt to win their first game of the season.
Fait Passing Counts for RegisFast, accurate passing spelled win for the Regis club in the
Bluejay engagement. Behind 9-8 at halftime, the lUiders splurged with 12 points in the third canto while the Cathedralites were countering five. The Regis 20-14 lead at three-quarter time melted to 20-19 with two minutes to go, but the phlegmatic Northsiders refused to be stampeded.
Th* axit from tho contest of Cathedral’s bif center.Jack Sweeney, in tha middle of the second period cramped tha Bluajays’ scoring punch. Up to the time of his dismissal on personals, Sweeney had hooked up with Regis’ Sillstrop in an interesting backboard duel.
Bulldogs Fade Fast in Tiger TangleErratic and unpredictable, the St. Joseph Bulldogs faded fast
in their tangle with the Tigers of Holy Family. The North Denverites were ahead all the way, leading 13-6, and 31-19 at thequarters. The Tigers, using reserves, were still going away when the final gun sounded. Accuracy at the free-throw line helped the Purple and Gold scoring, as the Tigers connected for 19 out of 27 attempts. Bill Mullane was the big gun for the victors with 15 markers. Doraico and Marzano connected for seven and six points respectively for the Bulldogs.
H e h e r .
Mustangs, Cards Stage Spectacular DuelRegistering from every angle, the Mullen Mustangs and tho
Cardinals of Annunciation hooked up in a spectacular scoring duel a la Rhode Island State in the final game of the night.
The Annunciation cagers, outscored from the floor 16 buckets to 21, made good use of their opportunities at charity lane to cop the ball game. '
Al Mares and Lan Grommet led tha Cardinals to victory in the second half, scoring 18 points between them.The contest was tied up at the half, 19-19. after Mullen overcame a 13-9 first period deficit.
Mustangs Threaten in Third QuarterThe Mustangs came out fast in the third quarter and held a
32-31 lead entering the final chapter. The point-making continued at a fast pace until the final three minutes, when with the score knotted 43e43 the Cardinals outsped the Mullen boys to collect four points while the foe was garnering two.
Bob Anaya, Mullen’s number one man, tallied 20 points on 10 field goals to lead the game scoring. Al Mares, with IS for the Cardinals, was second high.
State Home Team Has Amazing RecordAn amazing record of 22 games
without a defeat has been compiled by a team of lads at the Colorado State Home for Dependent Children. AH members of Our Lady of Lourdes parish, the players are coached by Gerald Mangone, Cathedral high grad and former student at Regis college.
Leading scorer for the quint is William Gonzalez, who swished in an average of 22 points per game. Another star p l a y e r is Sam Schimp.
The football team at the home also had an undefeated record this season. Both squads are sponsored by the Elks club.

Buzz Boys Will Close Season In Benefit Series With Omaha'K IN G O f GAJI/lfS PARTIES' SLATED
BY BOOSTERS' CLUB O N S ATU R D A YTbe “ king of games parties’’ is
scheduled Saturday, Feb. 28, by the Boosters’ club of Annunciation parish, according to an announcement by the Rev. James Moynihan, assistant pastor and director of athletics in the parish.
■ The affair will be the biggest yet staged by the club, which uses the proceeds o f ita series of games parties to finance an ever-growing program of sports and social activities on Denver’s East side. In order to accommodate the crowds expected, the scene of the party has been shifted to the Conoco auditorium, on the first floor b f Jhc Continental Oil building at 18th and Glenarm.
Father Moynihan expects a crowd of about 1,000 to take part in the entertainment. “ Last time ■we turned away almost 400 people because Hagus hall could not hold everybody who wanted to come,” he said.
Father Moynihan’s program of aid to the underprivileged children o f the East side has been attracting attention for its success in providing legitimate activities to fill the leiure time of the school pupils.
Among the attractions that will be on display -will be a radio- phonograph combination, a radio, an electric lamp, and an electric percolator.
The games ■will begin at 8:30 p.m. .
SIDELIHESIDELIGHTS
“ Say it again r’ sang tha St. Francis rooters, and they were not raferring to a certain Miss Dare, but to a lanky cage genius popularly known aa Long John Hatt. Watching him perform for the Gremlins is a much more enjoyable pastime than listening eo singing commercials any day.
The sharp-shooting Mr. Hett received aa thunderous an ovation as the armory walls have ever re-echoed after scorching the hoops for nine field goals and seven out of seven free throws in St. Francis' rout of St. Joseph's. I
• • t x "What would tahe i/sports-
writer do without «is loyal feathered informers? In a corner-store conversation it developed that the Holy Family Tigers might trace their recent renaissance to the kibitzing of one Ace Gruenig. For fans in the know, 'nuff said.
. . .
Muxzy Vecchiaralli's 18- poini spree marked fulfillment of all that was expected from the little speedster at tha season’s start. His darts through tha Jay defense for closa-in shots were an outstanding feature of the Tiger attack throughout the game. And Jim Kelly showed that he can play tha pivot spot with tha best when in tbe mood.
• • .Jim McCullough copped
scoring honors by sinking 16 big round tallies for the Cardinals against Regis. This is fair warning— file him for future reference!
e * *
Had tho St. Joseph squad given more attention to control of ita criss-cross passing and less to the setting of sprint records, its game with St. Francis’ might have been closer. St. Francis’ is not unbeatable, as the record shows, but ■with Cabman’s improved ball-handling off both backboards, Hegge’a setting-up of plays, and Hatt’s all-around ^ability, it will take a vary sharp team to subdue the Gremlins in the playoffs.
Holy Family Junior Team Takes LeadThe Holy Family Junior Tigers
grabbed the lead in the Northside division of the Junior Parochial league last week by defeating St. Catherine’s Wildcats, defending champs, in a torrid overtime session in the Regis gym.
The Wildcats fought back in the second half to overcome a 20-10 half-time deficit and tie the score at 23-all as the reflation time ran out, but Jack Isenhart calmly dropped in the winning point for the Tigers on a free throw in the overtime stanza with only 14 seconds remaining.
The Holy Family hoopsters dominated the play in the first half by stealing the ball repeatedly and generally out-hustled the losers. In the second half things turned topsy-turvy, as the Wildcats registered 13 tallies to the Tigers’ three.
Bohan was high point man for the game with 13 noints. Villano and Ruscio paced the losers with nine and seven, respectively.St. Clara's Dumps Bullpups Quint
St. Clara's remained right on the heels of the victorious Tigers by downing the aggressive St. Jo- -seph Bullpups, 26-14. Gonzales led the scoring for St. Clara’s with 10 counts but had plenty of help from his teammates. Turner was high scorer for the losers with six.
St. Vincent’s chalked up its first win of the season over the hapless St. Patrick team, 23-15. Burns returned to top form and dropped in 14 tallies for the winners.
The fourth victory on Assumption team’s record was marked up at the expense of St. Dominic’s, 28-15. The Welbyites, classiest ball handlers in the loop, romped to an easy win behind the consistent sharpshooting of Mazona and Tolvo. Stanton of St. Dominic’s tallied eight points.

Handicaps Lead Race For Second Place in CYPC Bowling LeogueWith the first-place Spooks now
12 games out in front in the Cathedral YPC bowling league and a virtual cinch to hold their position, attention is now focused on the race for second place.
The Handicaps, composed of Capt. Kathleen E. Lare, Marie Bruggenthias, Lucille Watteyne, Larry Keating, a n d Edmund Lynch, are now holding down second, with the Bombers and Atom Bees just one game behind.
This week's high games were Bud Regan’s 183 and Edith Oli- vetti’.s 179. High series were Father Leroy Matthiesen’s 613 and Gina Nottolini’s 429. Joe Yoleff is still holding down high average for men with 166, and Gina Notto- lini, for women, 133.

Three victories marked the past week end as the Rangers, minus flashy Bobbie Wallace, trekked to Gunnison to meet the Western State college team and then returned to face the Lobos of New Mexico university in the Denver City auditorium.
The Rangere found tha tight Waitern Stata dafania hard to crack during tha first period Friday night but managed to come through strongly in the second half for a 57-52 victory. On Saturday night. Regia was off to an early lead but Westarn Stata came back to make it a contest and five points again spelled the Regis margin of victory, 60-55.
Tired Rangers Edge Lobos
The two games, plus the eight- hour bus ride Sunday, put a tired and somewhat ragged Regis team on the floor against New Mexico. Fortunately, the Lobos were a little wild and jhe Rangers’ eyes were sharp at the free throw lane. The halftime score was 21-20 with Regis holding the edge.
HeffUy and Petry sparked the play in tha sacond half with Moora and Fishar contributing some spectacular ball handling, and the count stood 48-44 for the Rangers with three minutes left to play. Regis then staged an exhibition of ball control that gave tha Lobos no further opportunity and Bobby Burnt added a free throw point to make it 49-44.Coach Harold Johnke of Omaha
brings to Denver two of the most promising freshmen in the country in the persons of Frank Slogr, 6-4 center, and Don Berg, 6-1 guard. The former is the team’s leading scorer and Berg is considered by Johnke as the most promising member of his youthful squad.
The teams will meet Friday and Saturday nights in the State armory at E. Tnird and Logan street with a major portion of the net proceeds to be turned over to the Archbishop Vehr fund for the education of deserving children.
On Friday night teams selected from the parochial grade schools o ^ h e city will play the prelim- inaty. encounter and the gprls’ teams of the Denver Industrial bank and the Denver Dry Goods company will meet in the preliminary game., Saturday night.
5 O rthodox Priests, Nun Sentenced in Y ugoslavia
Belgrade.— Five priests and a nun belonging to the Serbian Orthodox Church have been sentenced by a people’s court to prison terms ranging from 18 months to seven years for harboring a “ war criminal” sought by the Yugoslav authorities. The trial was the first of ita kind involving Orthodox religious, although several Catholic priests and nuns have been indicted on similar counts.
The man said to have been aided by the defendants was Milan Mi- lanovich, a former Chetnik (anti- Tito guerrilla).
The hopes of two factions of the followers of Parochial league basketball §re bound up with the fortunes of the Holy Family Tigers this week, when the Northside cagers take on the league-leading St. Francis Gremlins. A victory for the Holy Family courtmen will produce a three-way split for the Denver league’s championship, with the Regis Raiders grabbing a share of the spoils along with Sunday’s opponents.
St. Francis’ tops the slate now with nine games won and two lost.Regis, its season completed, has won nine and lost three, and Holy Family high has eight wins and three losses.
The beanttring Gremlin quint ere accorded an aight- point margin in early prcdic- tiont of the game’i outcome, deipite the recent rejuvenation of the Holy Family hopefuls. With Long John Hett and hit altitudinoui tide-kick.Bob Carman, topping tha tallest of tha chailangart, St.Francis’ will hava an edge on backboard control and at the post.But Tiger supporters are point
ing to the fact that Muzzy Vecchiarelli has finally reached top form as chief pointmaker for the Tigers, and Jim Kelly, Bengal center, has improved rapidly under the tutelage of Old Master Ace Gruenig, who Is aiding Mentor Joe Fanning in bringing the Holy Family crew to its peak for the crucial tilt.
Other games in the windup program of the season will pit St. Joseph’s against Mullen high and Cathedral against Annunciation team.
The Bulldog-Mustang tangle promises to provide as much fireworks as the top-billed Gremlin - Tiger set • to. Now tied for last place, the Mustangs are aiming for an improved record and have an improved team with which to make the attempt, UnleM tbe Bulldogs, fourth-place holders, can put tha hot-shooting Mustang ace, Boy Anaya, into refrigeration, they will have a hard time outpointing the Mullenita five. St. Joseph’s has .failed tbus far to develop a shooting game to match its fire-horse passing attack.-Annunciation team, matched
with the fourth-place Cathedral Bluejays, faces the close of a disastrous season with little hope for improving its record. Though the Jays have toppled quickly from their recent eminence as league leaders, they are granted a considerable edge over the hapless Cardinal quint
Unless Holy Family high man ages to upset the Gremlins, Ca thedral’s expected victory will give it a tie with the Tigers for third place in the final standings.

Denver Loop To Pay Bills For Tourney
The Denver Parochial league, sponsor of the annual invitational tournament scheduled in Denver .March 6, 6, and 7, will pay trttvel and hotel expenses of all non-local teams participating in the tourney, it was announced this week by the Rev. Barry Wogan, business manager of the league.
Father Wogan estimated that approximately $1,000 would be needed to cover these costs. An additional $700 will be required to pay gym rentals, officials' fees, and other expenses, he said.
In order to stimulate attendance at the game Father Wogan said entire-tourney tickets for students and adults will be sold through the schools. Students or interested adults who plan to see all or a majority of the games- can make a substantial saving by using these tourney tickets, he explained.
Single-game admission to tournament games will be 50 cents for students. Adults may attend preliminary game.s for 75 cents and semifinal and final games for $1.
Tourney tickets for students will be $1.25, for adults $1.75. Father Wogan pointed out that, since these tickets will admit spectators to all five sessions, the saving for students will be $1.25, for adults $1.75.

Representatives of all teams in the tourney w'ill meet Sunday afternoon at the State armory during the cage program of the Parochial league to make drawings for the tourney. A 16-team bracket will be used and a single loss will eliminate any team from contending for the tournament championship. Runner-up and con.solation tro-
hies, however, will be awarded, 'earns drawing byes in the first
round will be granted a win, and will thereby be eliminated from the consolation bracket.Two Gyms To Be Used
Although arrangements are still tentative, it is probable th^ the Friday night games will be played in the East high gym, and the Saturday and Sunday games at the armory.
There Will be four seeded teams, equally divided between the upper and lower divisions of the bracket. Last year’s tournament champion. St. Francis’ high of Denver, ,-»nd this year’s Parochial league champion will be seeded together, and the champion and runner-up in the Southern Colorado Parochial loop

S f. Patrick's Day B a ll fo r B enefit O f Prague NurseryThe Infant of Prague nursery,
located on the grounds o f St. Clara’s orphanage, Denver, will be the main benefactor of this year’s St. Patrick’s day ball. Booklets, edited by the nursery’s board of directors, are being sent out by the ball committee, in order to acquaint the patrons of this year’s social with the nursery’s great contribution to Denver’s “ relinquished children.”
These booklets not only give the history and growth of the Infant of Prague nursery, opened to all colors and creeds on St. Patrick’s day, 1946, but also tell of the benefits derived through the aid of this annual charity ball. A member service of the Community Chest, which contributes approxi mately two-thirds of the operating expense, the nursery has received the remaining necessary funds, outside of individual and group contributions, through this social event for the past two years. It is the hope of Monsignor John R. Mulroy, moderator, that the people of Denver will continue to support this home for homeless chilaren by attending the ball to be held St. Patrick’s day in the Lincoln room of the Shirley-Savoy hotel.
All interested in the progress of this social are invited to attend a special meeting of the ball committee on Friday, March 6, in Holy Ghost hall. It will be called to order promptly at 8:15 p.m. by the chairman, Stephen McNich- ols. and will consist chiefly of reports by the various committee chairmen. At this time also a telephone committee will be appointed, a.s well as the hosts and hostessesfor the dance.

A C C H Convention Scheduled M ay 20The annual convention of the
Archdiocesan Council o f Catholic Women will be held on May 20, it was announced when the members of the board of directors and the chairmen of standing committees of Ahe council held their third quarterly meeting in the Catholic Charities annex, Tuesday, Feb. 24.
The group includes representatives from the four ornnized deaneries of the council, Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and Greeley.
Reports from the deanery presidents and from chairmen of standing committees preceded discussion of the national committee system o f the NCCW, the work of the one-day conference.
The purpose of the national committee system is to intensify and promote Catholic activities: to unify, co-ordinate, and stabilize programs; to collect information on programs in operation and to bring about a general consciousness of belonging to a united body of Catholic laity.
A national committee is composed of a national chairman, a consultant (usually a staff member of NCCW), a diocesan chairman, deanery and pariah or affil iated organization chairman.
Suggestions for programs, information, and assistance are sent by the national chairman to the diocesan chairman and through her to parish chairmen. Reports obtained are handled in the same manner, coming from the parish or local chairmen to the deanery and the dioce.san chairman to be summarized before being sent on to the national chairman.
The national chairman has these reports to prepare her annual report. giving a complete picture of the progress of the work in different parts of the country.
Mrs. Fred Gushurst. chairman, outlined the plan for libraries and literature committees. 'p
Lists of books for children^and adults have been prepared and are available to deanery and parish chairmen.
Mrs. Ruth Dean reported her committee, shrines in the home, was to rekindle faith. A shrine in every Catholic home is the goal.
Mrs. R. Boettinger, study club chairman, reported response has been slow but new clubs are being organized.
Mrs. James McDonald, youth chairman, gave details of the youth work being carried on in the archdiocese.
The Rt. Rev. Monsignor John R. Mulroy, speaking on unity under authority, cautioned the women in beginning or working out these national committees, or any organized work, to consult first with their pastors.
Monsignor Mulroy, who has been appointed archdiocesan director of resettlement of displaced persons, urged all to be interested in and to help with this work. Every parish will be surveyed to find homes.
Letters to Congressmen to permit entry of these displaced persons to the United States were approved.
A motion was made and carried that the archdiocesan council assist Monsignor Mulroy in cvejry way in this work.
Forty-five members attended the luncheon in the K. of C. clubhouse.

At St. Francis de Sales’ high, this week has been officially designated by the high school student senate a “ courtesy week” to correspond with the universally known “ Brotherhood W'eek” now in progress. By sponsoring a vigorous campaign aimed at making every student courtesy conscious, the senate hopes to inspire the student body to a fuller appreciation of the necessity of good conduct. To augment the plan, a prize of $1 is offered each day to the per- .son who composes the most interesting and pertinent original definition of courtesy. It is hoped that the general atmosphere which exists throughout the school this week will “ take” amidst the students and persist for the remainder of the year.

Highlanders O ffe r fu ll Youth Program
Since 1916, the Highlander Boys have served Denver, aiming always at the goal of better boyhood and young manhood trained for leadership In citizenship. The success of the program is represented by such examples as William “ Bill” Collins, in his senior year at the United States Naval academy; James “ Jimmy” O’Boyle, youth personnel manager with the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company; James Donnelly, with the U. S. army in Korea; and James Mullins, now a student at Regis, all ex-colonels of Highlanders.
This program uses the system of military drill and discipline to gpve each boy an ever-increasing responsibilty as he rises through the ranks, thereby training him to assume his natural post of leadership. Training for soldiery is not a part of the Highlander plan; training for leadership is the end of all activities.
The Highlanders also offer boys two military bands, two weeks’ camp at Estes Park, training in public speaking, choral instruction, an opportunity to participate in the Annual Highlander entertainment, and many other interesting and diversified activities.
iThe recruit rolls for new members are open now to qualified boys between eight and one half and 11 years of age. Interested boys accompanied by one parent or guardian, must come to Highlander headquarters at 301 E. Fourth avenue any afternoon after school, or call SPruce 2651,

Malthus Rides Again* P a u l H . H allett
Our title is taken from an article appearing in a popular scientific magazine, similar to many others of a purportedly scientific nature written in the past few years. Their universal drift is that the Anglican clergyman who broached his famous population theory a century and a half ago was right after all.
The central principles of Malthusianism may be stated in two formulae: First, the famous geometrical vs. arithmetical rates of incrck?e. Population increases as 4-8-1 I
sucn4-8-12. Thatfood only as
no such ratio exists has long been demonstrated. The other, more cautiously w o r d e d , Malthusian axiorp: Population tends to increase. faster than the food supply, couldvas well be reversed: Food tends to increase faster than population.
How fallacious the scare population forecasts of modern Mal- thusians are m ^ be surmised from Malthus' own fttimates. He calculated in 1801 that England would have 176,000,000 people by the turn of the century. Actually, she then had 2,3,000,000 although the 19th century was a period of unprecedented population increase. A,' a , matter of fact, the only wonder is that the neo-Malthusians are so conservative with their statistics. It has been estimated that if a human couple of 5,000 years ago had descendants who doubled every 30 or 35 years, and were subject only to the ordinary causes of death, their posterity woul^ cover the earth from here to the star Sirius.
Of "bourse, any number of factors, many of them perfectly right and natural, enter in to keep down the rate of human increase. Quite apart from unnatural birth control on the one hand, and wars, famines, and pestilence on the other, the population will level off as it approaches the limit of its food puppjy. Not only fertility, which means actual reproduction, but fecundity, which means the power of reproduction, decreases with urbanization and civilization. This is a matter of common observation, and can be further verified by ^ look into any economic history. On the other hand, there never has been a nation that suffered from overpopulation (we saV this with the full knowledge that India and other countries are commonly' objected to the contrary). Quite the reverse: Decreasing population has always been a sign of a nation’s decline.
In I judging estimates of future food supply, one must suspect that those who lay down absolute limits for subsistence, or who insist that popi^lation must in the end outdistance resources, are propagandists first and economists afterwards, or at least that they have succurqbed to the fatally easy temptations to lazy thinking that Malthusianism offers. This statement is not based on prejudice but on three facts: First, that it is blasphemy to imply that the Creator has not made provision for the increase of the human race until the judgment day: second, that increased numbers raise production, and besides afford men a stimulus to augment the means of subsistence; third, that men who have made natural
resources their study give assurance that the earth is in no danger of being sapped by swelling popu lation,
Kirtley F. Mather, professor of geology in Harvard university, whose book. Enough and to Spare (Harper’s), is beyond compare the best recent popular account of the world food situation, says that, of the 24V6 million sq. miles poten tially suitable for the growing of crops (in addition to 14,000,000 sq. miles of gazing land, and 7,000,- 000 sq. miles of forests and woodlands), somewhat less than 7,000,- 000 sq. miles are under cultivation “ by any method whatsoever, primitive and desultory or highly scien tific and intensive. Less than 30 per cent of our available food factory is in operation, and much of it is operating at a deplorably low level of efficiency.’ ’
Let's Hear All Sides
By R obert H oyt Radio, that much-abused me
dium, has performed a great service for Americans by expanding to national proportions an effective and time-honored device of pure democracy, the town meeting. By presenting opposing arguments on important issues, open forum programs have done much to clarify in the minds of the public the questions of the day.
But there is a danger in such a program, the danger that speakers will be chosen who are not true opponents, who differ only in su perficial ways. “ Town Meeting of the Air,’ ’ one of the best of the round-table programs, fell into this error recently.
Discussing the topic, “ Are We Losing Our Moral Standards?” each of the program’s four speakers took pains to condemn the notion of “ traditional, inherited morality.” They all were explicit about their condemnation; implicitly they averred that persons who disagree with them in the matter are mentally incompetent and not deserving to be heard.
The speakers have a right to their opinion, but neither they nor “ Town Meeting” has the right to exclude all other opinions from consideration. When you argue the question, “ Are We Losing Our Moral Standards?” you must first answer the still more important question, “ What are moral standards?” And it happens that there is a viable, arguable, defensible opinion, held by a great number of Americans, that is exactly opposed to the answer which “ Town Meeting’s” speakers would give to that important second question.
This opinion holds that to talk of morality without talking of God and God’s Commandments is to hang the clothesline on a skyhook. God has created us, determined our nature, given us what rights and duties we have; He is the Author of creation and therefore the Author of morality. The moral law is 4 real thing, complete and inviolable; it is not something we make up as we go along. It does not vary with the passing of time, for it is founded on the nature of man, rather than on accidental conditions of man’s environment
The program "would have been
Reg istor ia lsSoul of Russia Being Strangle(d
By MnxABD F. Everett Whether it was good music or
not we do not know. It was popular. Audiences in various Russian cities applauded it. But Stalin did not like it. He publicly condemned an author and his opera. Great Friendship, written by one of Russia’s most esteemed composers in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Bolshevist revolution.
Other Russian musicians, such as Shostakovich and Prokofieff, were strongly criticized. To get back into Stalin’s, graces they had to crawl in the dust like whipped puppies and lick his boots by acknowledging their “ error” and promising to compose in the “ true Russian” tradition. It was sickening. But the spectacle was not a new one. Modem Russian writers have had to swear away their literary integrity, c o n f e s s their error,” and promise to write only
what Moscow wants written.It is all part of a pattern. Polit
ical oppression came first. Then the Church was attacked. Bishops, priests, and the faithful laity were murdered outright or— it amounted to the same thing— sent to Siberia. If not “ liquidated” openly they were attacked effectively through the loss of their ration cards and other privileges. The technique has been the same in every country that the Communists have taken over.
TJ>e soul of ' Russia is being strangled. Its citizens are slaves to “ the most pitiless tyranny ever known.” They cannot worship as they wish; they may not write or read what they like; they dare not even sing as their nature prompts.
It is the intellectual and the spiritual that distinguish man from the strictly animal. It is the loss of these attributes that means the death of the soul, figuratively speaking. We extend the figure even further, of course, to speak of a nation as an individual. But it is an extraordinarily apt one. Rob a man of the right to worship the freedom to dream and to speak his dream, and you have no man left, merely an automaton in human shape. It is the same with a nation.
The curious thing is, however, that, though the figurative death of the soul is the surest destruction of a people, it is not the quickest one. It seems to us that (iomrau nism has started on a path that will lead inevitably to its grave, and to an end earlier than the one forecast by the deadening blows to Russian religion and culture. After all, it is not the Russian people who are destroying their culture, but their leaders; and even the most brutal tactics can scarcely choke out all* spirituality in the people.
But Russia is in a fiercely competitive world of material science Perhaps her Red leaders can rob enough brains to keep up in the race for atomic energy and all the other advances that are speeding us to a cataclysmic crash or a molecular millenium. They have lagged thus far. And they have made the fatal mistake— at least in some lines— of trying to tailer truth to their beliefs and ends instead of changing these to conform to demonstrated truth.
A great Russian scientist, Vasi- lov, after six years of controversy because he upheld principles approved by Western scientists, died in a concentration camp in 1942 under unknown circumstances. Another distinguished Russian biologist, Zhebrak, now is in trouble. He was removed as president of the academy of sciences and accused of heresy, despite the fact that he is a believer in Marxism and dialectical materialism.
Zhebrak made the mistake of saying there is no difference between Soviet and Western science.greatly improved if this attitude toward morality had been granted a defender, for -a good logician with a sense of humor who holds this view can have a merry time with his opponents. More important, however, is the fact that by presenting only one side of an important issue, “ Town Meeting” departed from the principle that has made it great. We think that George V. Denny, Jr., the moderator of the program, would be well advised to rectify the error by repeating the program with a more representative cast of speakers.
He erred In producing scores of new plants through applying genetic principles developed by Western s c i e n t i s t s . Genetics was founded by a priest, the Abbe Mendel, and is therefore a capitalistic invention. Throw it out, say the Communists; and throw out the man who believes in it.
Ah, but genetics is more than a theory. It in an accumulation of facts, based on thousands of experiments since those of the Abbe Mendel with his sweetpeas. It is more;-it is a tdol for scientists. If the Soviet scientists throw it out, they have lost a valuable tool and have nothing to take its place. If they do the same in other lines of science, they will irretrievably handicap themselves in the race for knowledge and power.
A Century of The Red Peril
By Rev. John B. EbelThe Communist party was born
in a year of chaos, and ever since it has fed and fattened on the carrion left by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.
The year 1848 in which the obscure journalist Karl Marx, together with his friend Engels, founded the ill-named “ League of the Just,” was a year of almost universal unrest. The whole world seemed astir as if in anticipation of the fearful times to come from this tiny secret society that was to grow into the mighty Communist party we know today.
In France it was a year of revolution that dragged Louis Philippe from the throne he had occupied for 18 years. Red Republicans, aided by the Grand Orient Lodge of Free Masonry, incited mo'b uprisings in Paris and other centers of population. Louis Philippe abdicated.
In Vienna, too, capital of the then mighty empire of Austria- Hungary, there was uproar. Stu dents marched the streets shouting and erecting barricades. The rebellion greA\’ until the Emperor Ferdinand sought refuge in the Tyrol and finally abdicated. In the meantime the Hungarians went into rebellion, but after a year of war with Austria their forces were crushed by the new Emperor Franz Josef, with the aid of Russia.
In Germany the unrest showed itself in demands for unification of thq tragically divided country. A meeting was held in Frankfurt for the formation of a Parliament, and some headway was made, but the differences were too great to be reconciled.
In Italy the situation was even more complicated. There was division between three major political parties within the nation. The King of Sardinia was engaged in war with Austria, in which he was defeated. And the Red Republicans of Italy under Garibaldi seized Rome, expelled the Pope, and declared a republic. They were halted only by the entrance of a French army into Italy.
Even England did not escape turmoil. The so-called “ Chartists” who had drafted a charter demanding universal suffrage, planned a march by 20,000 upon the House of Commons. The government prevented the plan only by the use of an army of special police.
It was in this atmosphere of fear and turmoil that the Communists were getting in their first work Marx and Engels in this year published their Manifesto of the Communists, calling for the overthrow of governments, the crushing of religion, and the abolishing of private property. Marx, in a newspaper that he bought in Cologne, preached revolution, class hatred, and class struggle. His rabid editorials led to bloody riots in Cologne, and a state of siege was declared. As a result Marx was tried for treason, but acquitted, whereupon he escaped to England.
Communism had made its first use of chaos to advance its cause. It was to learn by experience. In 1870 the Reds took over Paris in the wake of the Franco-Prussian war. World war I gave Communism its first big break in Russia, and the collapse of governments toward the end of hostilities led to Red dictatorships’ being set up all over Eastern Europe—most of them short-lived. How the Reds took— and are still takinc^advan- tage of disorder and suf«ring following World war II is evident.
But even a century ago words
Worse Than Atoms
By Rev. James B. HamblinIf the article is shocking, says
the editor’s note concerning a piece in America for Feb. 21, the reality it describes is infinitely worse. For biological warfare may well become a weapon far more deadly than the atomic bomb. With it belligerents could silently set forces at work that would kill men, women, and children in their homes.
And lest anyone think that biological warfare is only “ threatening,” the author shows that it is far beyond the laboratory stage. It is ready for employment on a full scale; the problem now is only the logistics of its use.
How to start and conduct an epidemic in the enemy camp without risking danger of the epidemic reaching one’s own troops or civilians is the present concern of military men. During World war II secret research was carried on in this country in biological warfare, and we were ready to retaliate had the Axis started to use germs. In fact, the navy has admitted that it developed a germ- weapon capable of wiping out the population of large cities and of destroying entire crops at a single blow. The agent was a germ spray shot into the air by high-flying planes. The plane or the robot bomb can easily be used to spread germs by means of glass tubes, bohibs, germ mists, or merely by sowing the microbes.
Two types of bacterial attack are possible. First, epidemics started in the heart of the enemy country, perhaps before the official declaration of war; and second, swift attacks which may be accompanied by mass bombings. Either would be affective because medical men know little about controlling an artificially iqi- planted epidemic. Even the most highly developed public health service would be unable to prevent a tremendous number of casualties.
Several of the organisms ready for use in biological warfare are described. For example, the most terrible of all poisons known to man, the toxin .of the botulinus bacillus, can now be produced in quantity. It is a thousand times more deadly than mustard gas; so that a single ounce could kill, swiftly and quietly, every single person in the United States and Canada. Spread through the air in tiny and invisible droplets by planes or by the poisoning of the water supply of an entire city, the toxin can be u.sed to decimate entire populations.
Biological warfare includes not only the use of living organisms as weapons but of chemical agents to affect growing crops and render them worthless. Toward' the end of the war these agents were actually ready for use, and plans were in the making for an experimental attack on enemy crops.
Also included in the plans would be the destruction of livestock. Swine fever, foot and mouth disease in cattle, and looping ill in sheep can all be readily introduced.
Biological warfare, like the atomic bomb, represents a supreme achievement as a weapon in the concepts of total war, whose object is to break the enemy’s will to fight. Epidemics are ideally suited for surprise attacks and the swiftness essential to war today. They can disable and kill silently and quickly. The very invisibility of infections and disease would injure and perhaps destroy the morale of armies and civilians.
Its cost is negligible compared to that of other weapons. For example, the whole biological warfare research program of the U. & cost only $50 million as compareo with the two billions spent on the atomic bomb. And all the experi-of warning were not lacking, Captain Aleck Richards in the Catholic Mirror cites a statement of the great German poet Heinrich Heine, who knew Marx in Paris: “ The propaganda of Communism possesses a language every people can understand. Its elements are simply hunger, envy, death. . . . Wild and gloomy times open before us. The future savors strongly of Russian leather, blood, godlessness, and clubbing.” Only a century later can we appreciate the grim truth of his words.
ments can be carried on, under the guise of legitimate medical research, by a few technicians in small laboratories.
The prospect is shocking ik- deed. But it emphasizes the fact we are approaching our last chance to save civilization. Either we eradicate war or the perennial fear o f ultimate destruction will find its realization in man’s final success in his efforts to blot out all traces of, his existence from the planet. The choice is ours— peace or the elimination of man from the earth.
One Lord, One Faith
pm
By R ev . Robert E. K e k e ise nRome gave publicity this week
to the “ Confessor of Broadway,” the Rt. Rev. Monsignor James B. O’Reilly, pastor of St. Malachy’s church in the midst of Manhattam. L'Osservatore Romano, Vatican City newspaper, told how the obliging prelate switched his Mass schedule to accommodate the lopsided schedule of the w’aiters, musicians, barmen, and night club entertainers who would otherwise have no opportunity to attend the Holy Sacrifice.
The best part of the story limned a picture of congregational singing in the unique church. Then, blues singers from night clubs, divas from the Metropolitan, and husky-toned taxi drivers find that voices blend beautifully when elevated in prayer. The barmen’s and waiters’ wages w’ould not pay the great'^ingers’ income tax, but wealth and fame are of no account when God’s children come home to speak to Him.
“ One Lord, one faith, one Baptism” — and St. Paul has hit one of the most magnificent mysteries of our holy faith. Differences in race and social standing vanish at the Communion rail, in the confessional, at the deathbed. The sacraments are no respecters o f persons, and neither is the grace of God. At Sunday Mass there can be seen fine clothes and paupers’ rags, faces painted and plain, men dignified and slovenly. But the eyes of God see through exteriors and focus on the soul within. When His grace lives there, and vivifies that soul, God looks no further, but is content to call that soul his own, among His adopted ones.
Sanctifying grace is the thing that makes us one with Christ and overrides th e man - fabricated boundary lines of social .status and outside appearance. When the soul possesses grace it lives with God’s life and acts with Godlike deeds. In the face of this brilliant reality, what else matters? The poor man knows he has as good a chance for heaven as the wealthy man, and perhaps a little belter. When God’s nature mysteriously p e r m e a t e s the soul, “ there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for there is the same Lord of all, rich toward all who. call upon Him” (Romans, x, 13).
This thought consoles us and begets hope. This thought brings our people in droves to the Table of the Lord, to increase and ^rengthen that supernatural lev- mer. This thought brought early Roman slaves to the Spouse of Christ, who made them better than their pagan masters. “ For all you who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slaye nor freeman; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus” ((jal. iii, 27-28).

St. Joseph’ s YPC Sponsors Engaging Leap Year Social(St Joseph’s Young People's Club)
The Leap Year social held by St. Joseph’s iPC Feb. 20 will go on record as one of the most successful affairs ever sponsored by the club. Members of St. MaYy's Young People’s club of Littleton were guests at the party.
Because it is Leap Year, the ;-.irls took advantage of custom and proprieties and started off the evening by asking the young men for dances. So far, no startling developments have been reported.
A brisk Virginia reel afforded considerable enjoyment and then more dancing was enjoyed. Re- freshmehts of cherry pie, ice cream, and coffee were served.
The club would like to hand out orchids to the social committee for the success of the dance. Orchids being expensive, however, a hearty vote of thanks is expressed through this column.
The social committee is planning a club party in the church hall for 8:30 Friday evening, Feb. 27. Because of the mission to be held in St. Joseph’s parish from Feb. 29 through March 14, there will be no social events during that time.
The Rev. Carl Schwarz, C.SS.R., club moderator, has urged club members to attend the mission to be preached by the Very Rev. Peter Forbes, C.SS.R., and the Rev. Howard Jennings, C.SS.R.

San Diego Univer^t^ Building Begins May 1San Diego.— Beginning of the
construction of the San Diego university will be signalized by g;round-breaking ceremonies at the new Catholic school's Mission Valley site on May 1, Bishop Charles F. Buddy of San Diego has announced.
Among the notable contributions received in the diocese’s University Foundation fund campaign were $5,000 from the publisher of two local dailies, the San Diego Union ana the Tribune-Sun; $5,- 000 from an anonymous donor in the name of a parish in El Centro, Calif.; and $200 from the San Diego Moose lodge.
2 Catholic Educators Took Thomism to Japan
Maryknoll, N. Y.—Two American Catholic educators, Monsimor Frederick G. Hocnwalt, NCWC education director, and Dr. Roy Deferrari of the Catholic university, had much to do with introducing the teaching of Catholic philosophy at Kyoto university, Japan.
In 1945, Father Vincent M. Pou- liot, O.P., of Canada, was approached by Professor Tokuruyu Yamanouchi. Kyoto dean of philosophy, to help lead his students iflto Tnomsitic learning. Financial aid was secured from a devout Buddhist, Shikaji Hiraki, and the university’s consent was procured by a commission of American educators invited by Gen. MacArthur. Monsi/pior Hochwalt and Dr. De- feirari were among the members of the commission, and it was the latter who prevailed upon university authorities to establish the chair of Catholic philosophy at Kyoto. Father Pouliot teaches the course.
Baptist Gives Hospital Half Share in Oil LandDes Moines. — Mercy hospital
here was given a half share in 2,- 968 acres of West Texas oil land by a doctor who had served 43 years on the hospital staff. Dr. Frank E. Foulk, the donor, is a Baptist. Drake university is the other beneficiary. The land contains threie oil fields, one currently in production.
CLUB WILL CONTINUE TO DISCUSS MATERIALISM
(St. Thomax' Univeriity Club)Strong arguments for and
against the ma.ss production system were advanced in the most recent .session of the St. Thomas University club’s study branch, but, since no final conclusion was reached, the discussion will continue in the meeting this Thursday evening. The group will meet in the Catholic Charities 'annex at E. 17th avenue and Grant street.
The c o n t e n t i o n of Integrity magazine, that mass production inevitably deprives the worker o f a craftsman’s pride in his work, was to some extent disallowed by members of the club, who pointed out instances from personal experience that were contrary to the position of Integrity. Other evils inherent in the system, however, such as its emphasis on materialistic motives and standards, were given fuller treatment than in the magazine.
Thursday’s discussion will center oh methods of avoiding entanglement in the vortex o f materialism.

Anim olds Make Cakes Interesting
Carol Merz, nine-year-old student at St. Dominic’s school, Denver, is the envy of her classmates. Her father. Max G. Merz, is the producer and distributor of the famous Animolds, the aluminum mold which makes a cake look like a lovable pet.
Max Merz has spent many years in foundry work, starting in that kind o f work in 1921. Pouring red hot metal into molds sometimes became tedious, and Max could not help comparing himself with the housewife in many of her daily cooking tasks, pouring batter into flat pans for cakes, coffee cakes, or bread. Only this was different; Max could enjoy his work, molding machines, special equipment, and parts by shaping the molten metal into various forms.

Lourdes Youth Club Books Talent Show
The idea grew with him that maybe the homemakers would en joy different molds to fashion all kinds of designs in their baking. Parties and all kinds of festive occasions could be made more fun by adding cakes in the shape of animals. Out of this grew the now famous lamb mold, forming a large cake into the likeness of a resting Iamb . . . a familiar table decoration for Easter in homes and dining places across the nation.
The success of this idea led Max to designing other animal-like molds, a large rabbit, a small rabbit, and a small duck. The war and its shortage of materials, of course, ended deyelopment and sale of this type of dovelty.
But now Carol’s father is again marketing his cake molds from his foundry at 1419 Morrison road. He is also spending hundreds of dollars in research and designing new molds and novelties for the home.
Carol’s brother, Johnny, two and one-half, and sister, Jo Ann, 10 months, are also proud of their daddy. Proud too, is their mother, Mrs. Bessie Merz, member of St. Dominic’s and active in PTA work. The family live at 2626 Java court.
