Number 7. -r-; Once Over the Diocese (Editor: We promised you North Carolina Catholic is going to get better. And here is the first evidence of our intent to improve. It’s a new column — your column. You send in the news and we’ll incorporate it into “Once Over The Diocese”. The column is about you, for you and by you. *Like it? Let us know. By letter, or better, by subscribing to N. C. Catholic.) What's With The Young People? Women and children first. And this week’s news bits from around the diocese find em phasis placed — among our laymen — on the activities of milady and our young people. , From Greensboro, Sylva, Goldsboro, and New Bern have come reports showing our youth in Catholic Action. Education Week programs were high on the agenda. Pupils at Our Lady of Grace School held open house for their parents off Nov. 10. And the correspondent, in the same letter, informs us that the civics club of the club "has elected new officers, to wit: Patricia Hoffman, president; Thomas Cribben, vice presi dent; Manry Ann Odyniec, recording secretary; Lester Whicker, corresponding secretary, and Michael Williams, treasurer. But Greensboro has more than one parochial school. While Our Lady of Grace was active, Saint Pius X School wasn’t drag ging its feet — even if poor road conditions did delay the opening. All Saints' Day — A Great Day, To make up some of the lost time, the pupils attended school on All Saints’ Day. And what a fine day it waS. The student body was treated by the “Little Singers of Paris” who sang a High Mass a capello. After the Mass, the boys ac companied Father with the Blessed Sacrament in procession from the Chapel to the Sisters Convent, singing motets in Latin and French. The Little Singers assembled in the school auditorium later and sang “White Christmas” and the national anthems of Ameri ca and of France. For Talking, Money and Applause Day of Recollection marked Youth Week at Charlotte Catholic High. Father Matthew, OSB of Balmont Abbey directed the day. Week ended with Thferesa Pelone winning first place in the Voice of Democracy speech contest. One reporter says she won $5, another $4. For either sum and for the honor, congratulations, Theresa. Kannapolis holds title for the discussion club parish. A. H. Drolette, chairman and Father Stephen Sullivan, pastor are making the rounds to visit the eight discussion clubs, some of them reporting 100% attendance for the first half season. A family covered dish supper will replace the December PTA' meeting at St. Elizabeth’s, Elizabeth City, it was planned at the Education Week meeting which heard Lt. (jg) Clarence H. Checklin comment on his color slides of Bermuda. Charlotte’s newest parish held its pioneering gathering to the tune of “Davy Crockett”—the tune chosen by 75% of the children competing in the amateur show which followed the parish family picnic at Columbian Club. Monsignor Michael Begley spoke to the 300 parishioners attending. Herbert Robinson led the planning committee: Jim Collins, George Buckley, Walter West.

Transfer effective December 1. St. Leo’s Bazaar. (Winston-Salem) featured a casserole of baked com; recipe, which was carried to Kansas by a covered wagon pioneer family, calls for a No. 2 can cream-style corn. - Seriously, the whole bazaar — smorgasbord and all — sounds fabulous. A new feature was the children’s baking contest. Diocesan Power House A special retreat for converts added two new retreatants to a good number of veterans last weekend at Mary hurst; largest groups came from Morehead City, New Bern and Raleigh. Father James McGill, OFM, of New Jersey gave the retreat. Attention: Nurses and Business Women — retreat designed for you is December 2-4; write to Maryhurst, Pinehurst, N. C. If you hold the lucky number at St. Joan of Arc’s Thanks giving Endeavor party next Monday evening (November 21), you’ll'win an electric blanket.

Lynch < Chancellor Father Koch Recalls Near East Sights and Needs from Visit » (Father Koch: Let this be a postscript to one of the “All Roads . . stories sent from Rome a few months ago in which l told my visit to the refugee camps of the dispossessed people of the Holy Land, now living in unbelievable destitution in the surrounding Arab League Countries.) By Fr. Frederick A. Koch I have just tacked up the pic ture poster announcing the Thanksgiving Clothing Collection, on the Church bulletin board here at Wake Forest. Next Sunday, priests every where will be urging their parish ioners to sort out what clothing they can spare for the distribution of these articles to the needy of the world by the Catholic Welfare Conference agencies abroad. A great amount of our clothing donations finds its way to the Arab states and helps to give some temporary relief to 400,000 who are frustrated in a hopeless mess of power politics. About 20 percent of these are Catholic fam ilies who have been camping in rotting tents since February 24, 1949, when an armistice between the State of Israel and those of the Arab league Countries was drawn iip on United Nations terms. Armistice or not, man’s inhu manity to man is/seen on the des ert camps in all its cruelty, un justly forcing them from home and all security.
