HOLY DOOR RITES—THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED ■■»■■■. ! L' In ceremonies inaugurating the Holy Year of Jubilee, the recogni tion of the Holy Door, the Master of the Papal Chamber and other Vatican officials (left photo), examine the contents of the golden urn which was placed in the Holy Door crypt at St. Peter’s in 1934, by Pope Pius XI. For weeks workmen have been placing wheels on the heavy Holy Doors and making other preparations to loosen the walled-up door (right photo). When His Holiness on Christmas Eve struck the door for the third time with the golden hammer, work men behind the door were able to wheel it away. The Holy Doors of the four basilicas will be walled up again at the close of the Holy Year. (NC Photos) Harlem Made Victim Of Smear Campaign By Reds of World NEW /^ORK. — Harlem has been the \ victim of a communists’ smear campaign designed to dis credit the United States in the eyes of other nations-, it was charged by George S. Schuyler, Negro journalist, in an address be fore the Catholic Interracial For um. Mr. Schuyler, columnist for the Pittsburgh Courier, world’s larg est Negro newspaper, and a resi dent of Harlem for the last 30 years, said the campaign started in 1928, the year of the Third Internationale, and now has grown to such proportions that it threatens the Marshall Plan, European recovery and democracy in general. Enormous Strides He declared that although Har lem has madje enormous strides in improved living conditions, hous ing, educational and recreational facilities, it is practically impossi ble to get a newspaper or pictorial publication to present a true pic ture of the conditions, “where Ne groes can hold up their heads, have the ballot and obtain posi tions of dignity as teachers and civic leaders or success in a thous and and one business enterprises.” The columnist declared that contrary to general opinion, Har lem is not overcrowded. He said there are some 100,000 less resi dents in the section than in 1910. In contrast, Mr. Schuyler cited that Harlem today has a population of 211 persons per acre compared with 224 persons per acre in New York’s midtown east side. 5,000 Negro Stores He said- Harlem has some 5,000 Negro owned and operated busi nesses, some 50,000 Negro labor union members and a total popula tion of between 450,000 and 500,000 Negroes. He claimed that Harlem today has a higher percentage of church attendance than anywhere else in New York, and less crime and delinquency than at any time in the past. There are $50,000,000 in deposits in Harlfem banks, he continued, and more owner occu pied dwellings than in any other section of Manhattan. One Mans Opinion By Dale Francis Everyone said it was a terrible thing when a college student out in Iowa killed a girl in his room after a campus party. No one mentioned that it was exactly what could be expected on that campus. In my job I get copies of most of the college student publications in the nation. It would be an enlightening experience for adults everywhere to see what their youngsters in college are writing. The college magazine at the school where the murder was committed is packed full of smut. Supposedly it is a humor maga zine. Actually it is about as fun ny as the writing of perverts on restroom walls. A teachers college in Kansas put out a special Christmas issue. There wasn’t a mention of Christmas in it, although Santa Claus was on the cover. What was in it would have kept it from the mails had it been a regular com mercial publication. There were at least a hundred jokes publish ed in that one issue that were so far off color that you wouldn’t re peat them if you had any sense of decency. Yet this is the magazine that is being passed to impressionable Patronize Your Friendly N. C. CATHOLIC Advertisers Each Week students io their teens. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that the re sult should be a sensational front page news story. I suppose the educators who per mit such things justify the publi cations by saying students should be allowed to have freedony It is just that kind of nonsensical thinking that is making it impera tive that parents keep their chil dren from schools that don’t recr ognize a difference between free dom and license. If you’re planning on. sending your son or daughter to college next fall write to the university and ask for copies of their stu dent publications. You can learn a lot about the school from the things their students write. You can learn whether or not you want to send your youngster there. Labor Conference Is Addressed by Priest BALTIMORE—The Rev. John Cronin, S.S., assistant director of the Department of Social Action, National Catholic Welfare Con ference, called for a constant in flux of properly trained leaders for the labor movement. Leaders trained in Catholic principles could bring about an era of har mony between labor and manage ment. He made these remarks to the first graduating class of five la bor relations schools, conducted by the Maryland Action Guild. Father Cronin stated that labor had become a powerful force in this country, and union members must be ever alert to make sure that organized labor maintains good leadership. He said that in the few cases where union leaders haVe gone wrong, the basic rea son was rank-and-file indifference. Failure to attend union meetings and unwillingness to run for of fice on the part of many is bound to weaken a union, he said. Sales — NASH — Service DOLAN MOTOR CO. 426 W.

Box 974 Basis of Federal Aid Controversy Is Issue Of Religion in Schools CHICAGO.. — The battle over the Barden Bill was only a skir mish in a cold war of ideas, the editor of The School Review, a University of Chicago monthly, de clares in his current issue. The cold war, the editor, Mau rice L. Harting, makes plain, is over the status of religion in Amer ican education. Youth in the Unit ed States should be led, under guidance and within the frame work of our democratic ideals, to think more deeply about spiritual and moral problems, he points out. university publications con the attitudes toward relig ious training of the Catholic school system and of America’s profes sional teachers’ organization, the National Education Association. 'Recent Survey The recent survey of Catholic Secondary Education by Sister Mary Janet of the Catholic Uni versity of America is quoted for the Catholic view: “If the process of education is to fulfill its func tion of developing the whole per son . . . the Catholic educator con formed unless knowledge of God and our duties to Him are includ ed in the educational program.” The NEA position is pictured as built around the principles of sep aration of church and state, and an accompanying prohibition on the spending of tax money in pub lic schools for anything that might be construed as religious activities. Only a Skirmish “The battle over the Barden Bill was only a skirmish in a cold war of ideas,” the editorial con tinues. -“Many people believe that young people are failing to de velop the spiritual values, the moral principles and stamina ne cessary for successful living in a confused world. Methods of Cooperation “It is natural for those concern ed for these values to try to work methods of cooperating with the public school organization in or der to reach more children for a longer time. These efforts, which call for practical interpretations of the principle of separation of church and state, are again only aspects of the basic problem.” .The frasts WHAT TO LOOK FOR HlHI CHURCH ORGAN YOU BUY C.
