Telephone Workers Need Salary Increases Asked Catholic Leader Reports (Continued from Page 1) “As for the fairness of the work ers’ cause,” he said, quoting from their 1946 contract with the com * pany, “some of those girls start at $22 a week and after five years of work they can climb to $29 a week. And many of them are trying to support families on that. Some of them are widows with one or two children to support.” Quoting Papal encyclicals, Fa ther O’Connell said: “It is time to stop talking about the right of labor to organize. It is time to analyze the duty to organize. A man who finds himself working uncler conditions in which he can not live as befits a creature made in the image and likeness of God, has the strict moral duty to or ganize. “And a man who finds his fel low workers organized in a union which has won decent wages and conditions for him has the strict • duty to join that union, if it’s a good union.” Bishop Waters Speaks At Two-Day Meeting Held in Pinehurst (Continued from Page 1) ever held and it proved to be of practical value for the priests in rural mission work. The use of the Motor Chapel in rural mis sions is scarcely ten years old, therefore those priests in the work have been forced to depend upon their own ingenuity for develop ing the methods used. The pur pose of this meeting at Pinehurst was to exchange experiences and suggestions concerning the work and to develop some kind of uni fied program to assist new priests beginning the work. Spirited discussions were held on such practical points as: selection of ^ sites for a motor mission, advance publicity, sermon topics and ser mon preparation, the use of the question period, music and mov ies to explain Catholic doctrine, and the all-important means to follow-up the contacts that are first made at such outdoor Mis sions. Because of the fact that the priests in attendance came from such separated areas in the coun try, this mutual pooling of ex IDEAL LUNCH Sandwiches — Hamburgers Drinks of all Kinds 127 Person St. FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. peiiences was of great help to all who attended. Father Stephen Levin was there from Oklahoma where he has been doing street preaching since 1932. He told now he uses boys and girls of grade and high school age to as sist him in' the work on a summer evening. They give a five to ten j minute talk on the catechism I which adds an interesting touch to the meeting and at the same time is wonderful training for the boys and girls themselves. Father Francis Giri and Father Joseph Durick of Alabama were there to contribute their experiences of the past ten years preaching in rural villages around Birmingham and Grove Hill, Alabama. Father Giri told of his quite unique method used in attracting a crowd when he goes to a strange town. Every family in the loyalty receives in the mail a notice stating that they are invited to attend a free “Pic ture Show in Technicolor” each evening that week. When they arrive, they find that the “pic ture show” consists of some color ed pictures shown through a Slide Projector and explained by Fath er Giri. During the week Father goes through the whole life of Christ, showing about six or eight slides each evening, with a twenty minute sermon on each slide. Sometimes, he uses the 6ame slide twice merely by turn ing it around, the audience thinks it is a new picture, since everything is shown just opposite to the original. Father A. J. Spear and Father Ralph Carpenter of the Paulist Fathers at Winchester, Tennessee, were there to tell of their experi ences during the past ten or twelve years with Motor Chapel. For some twenty or thirty years previous they had been unable to make any real headway with con versions in rural Tennessee, but when Father Cunningham, the phesent Superior General of the Paulists, secured the first Motor Chapel back in 1937, the number of conversions began to increase almost immediately. Within ten years they have built four new mission churches for the converts and fallen-away Catholics that have been brought into the Church as a result of the Motor Chapel and its follow-up work during the winter. The Paulists use so-call ed “Bible Classes” during the winter to continue the instruction of the people that were first con tacted and interested by the sum mer Motor Mission. About three hundred souls have been brought into the Church as a result. Real izing how important is the Motor Chapel in mission work in rural areas, the Paulists will have seven Motor Chapels on the road this summer. Fathers Joseph Hodges, Vernon Bowers and Chester Michael of the Richmond Diocesan Mission Band were all present for the two two day meeting with their for mer superior, Bishop Waters, who for several years was in charge of St. Mary of the Highways Mo tor Chapel ip the Richmond dio cese. Fathers Andrew Lawrence and Michael Giblin, Missionary Sercants of the Most Holy Trin ity, were there to present their particular technique of/ open-air missions without a Motor Chapel. Father Michael Giblin had worked in three states last summer giving such missions in various mission parishes in charge of their priest. Father Geoffrey Stone of Brook lyn and Father Gerard O’Keefe of Charlotte, N. C., both Redemptor ists, told of their work with a Motor Chapel in various areas of North Carolina during the past summer. Fathers Francis Howard and Francis McCarthy of the Ral eigh TJlissionary Apostolate at Whiteville, N. C. told of the fol lowup work they used after the motor missions given in their area last summer by the Redemptorists. Finally, Father Patrick Walsh, Dominican missionary from Col umbia, S. C. was there to show us how he preaches straight Catholic doctrine without any quibbling in his non-Catholic missions and talks. The meeting closed on Wednes day evening, April 16th, with a dinner given by Bishop Waters at the Mid-pines Hotel in Southern Pines, N. C. Father Francis Giri of Grove Hill, Ala., was elected chairman of the group for the coming year and Father Patrick Walsh, O. P. of Columbia, S. C., secretary. It is planned to hold another meeting in the spring of 1948.

Bishop's Reliei Program Sets Record (Continued from Page 1) The chancery, in making the re lease, said that Bishop Waters paid special praise to the school chil dren from their contribution of nearly $2,000. Dimes and nickels saved by students who abstained from candy and soft drinks to help the starving of Europe help ed build up the high total. The chancery announced that the winner of the school contest will be announced soon. The school whose children gave the highest contribution per person will be awarded a special prize by the North Carolina Catholic in cooperation with Father O’Brien. Meanwhile, all over the nation the reports come in of new record contributions. The Archdiocese of St. Louis quadrupled their last year’s contribution by giving $225,000 to the Relief campaign this year. The goal set for this year was five million dollars and although less than half of the dio ceses have reported the total of this year’s collections is already over the two million mark, more than double what the reporting dioceses- gave last year.
