New York —(NC)— Liturgical
composer C. Alexander Peloquin

The programs, entitled “The

on the Look Up and Live series
of the CBS-TV network at 10:30

A recommendation that this
highly effective pupil activity be
encouraged in the schools of this
area was made this week by the
Monsignor Edward T. Gilbert, di
ocesan superintendent of schools,
in a letter sent to all parochial
school principals.
Sponsored by the Commission
on American Citizenship of The
Catholic University of America,
the Catholic Civics Clubs give boys
and girls an opportunity to put
Christian social principles into
action in their own lives. The
Clubs engage in various commun
ity and civic projects.
In his letter to the principals
describing how the clubs benefit
their pupils Monsignor Gilbert
wrote:
“If our youngsters derive noth
ing from participation in a civics
club next year except a realiza
tion of the importance of being
well informed — locally, nation
ally, and internationally — the
program, I believe, will have been
worth while.”
The 1960-61 theme, “Your Citi
zenship — Know It, Cherish It,
Live It!”, presents an opportuni
ty for youngsters to develop a
knowledge of, and a respect for,
the workings of democracy while
they take part in practical pro
jects within the community.
Urging the formation of a Catho
lic Civics Club in every school in
the diocese, Monsignor Gilbert
memtioned that extra help in
forming and operating a club will
be available through regular arti
cles prepared under the direction
of tlt£ Commission on American
Citizenship in the Young Catholic
Messenger, a current affairs week
ly for boys girls in grades 6-9.
'Avoid Compulsory Arbitration'
Warns National Catholic
Welfare Conference in
Labor Day Message
WASHINGTON — (NC) — The
Social Action Department of the
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence has warned labor and man
agement that collective bargaining
is “on probation before the bar
of public opinion.”
Unless labor and management
compose their differences and
make a go of collective bargain
ing, they may be “saddled with
some form of compulsory arbitra
tion,” the department said in its
1960 Labor Day statement.
This would be “disastrous,” it
added.
“A growing number of Ameri
cans are losing confidence in the
ability of union leaders and man
agement representatives to make
collective bargaining serve the
public interest and, worse than
that, are losing faith in the very
institution of collective bargain
ing itself,” declared the NCWC
department, whose director is
Msgr. George G. Higgins.
The statement said loss of pub
lic confidence in collective bar
gaining and increasing demands
for compulsory arbitration are
“alarming” trends.
The next time public opinion
is disturbed by labor-management
quarrels, it added, it “may not
be politically feasible or expedi
ent” for Congress and the state
legislatures “to look the other
way.”
However, the statement said,
the situation “is not by any means
completely hopeless.”
“Labor and management still
have it within their power not
only to avoid compulsory arbitra
tion, but also, from the more posi
tive point of view, to restore pub
lic confidence in the basic sound
ness of free collective bargaining
and voluntary labor-management
cooperation,” the Social Action De
partment said.
The statement called on labor
and management “to meet public
opinion at least halfway” and at
the same time urged the public
and the legislature to “make haste
very slowly in the field of labor
management legislation.”
It declared: “To substitute com
pulsory arbitration for collective
bargaining would be disastrous.
Similarly to ‘cut the unions down
to size’ or to limit collective bar
gaining to the plant or company
level, as some Americans have
petitioned the Congress to do,
would be a serious mistake and
would undoubtedly create more

O'Hara Dies August 28
Philadelphia—John Cardinal O’Hara, C.S.C., Archbishop
of Philadelphia, died Sunday, August 28, in his see city.
He was 72.
The Cardinal had been Archbishop of Philadelphia since
1951, succeeding Denis Cardinal Dougherty. He was elevated
to the College of Cardinals in December, 1958, by Pope John
XXIII.
His death reduces the number of

Pope Tells Athletes
To Keep Their Balance
VATICAN CITY — (NC) —
His Holiness Pope John XXIII
told an audience of Olympic ath
letes in Sjj. Peter’s square “to give
an example of the kind of healthy
rivalary which is a complete stran
ger to enmity and strife.”
He also warned them against
“giving exclusive attention to the
body as if to man’s supreme good.”
Pope John reminded the ath
letes that they were standing on
the site of Nero’s circus — an
ancient sports stadium — and re
called that St. Pius X had warm
ly encouraged the founder of the
modern Olympic Games.
“It is obvious,” the Pope con
tinued, “that We cannot wish vic
tory to every team or to each
individual athlete. ‘May the best
man win.’
“But this is no obstacle to Our
expressing the very strong desire
that the contests during these days
will benefit you all and that from
them everyone without exception
will be able to gain some advant
age.”
“It is not the prize offered in
the race,” the Pope went on, “but
the correct exercising of the body
that merits the higher esteem.”
He said that home life and prop:
er tradition in training the young
“bid us to be on our guard in
athletic contests against giving
exclusive attention to the body as
if to man’s supreme good, and
against a cult of gymnastics (as
sometimes happens) which can
hinder the due carrying out of ac
cepted obligation.
The Pope praised sports for de
veloping important qualities. From
a physical point of view, he said,
sports give rise to “health, phys
ical strength and agility, gr_;e
and beauty.” From the viewpoint
of the soul, he continued, sports
can foster “perseverance, courage
and the practice of self-denial.”
In urging the Olympic Games
athletes to compete without enmi
ty, he declared:
“You will display an enduring
Fr. Mulholland
Leaves For Rome
JACKSONVILLE — A Tar Heel
priest will spend next winter at
the Pius XII International Center
outside Rome at Rocca di Papa.
There at the headquarters of the
Movement For a Better World, Fr.
Charles Mulholland will study and
meditate at the novitiate dedicated
to world peace through Christian
love.
Fr. Mulholland was given a fare
well on August 28 by members of
Infant of Prague Parish and mem
bers of the diocesan clergy. He has
served there as assistant pastor
during the past three years.
Founder and director of the
Movimento per un mundo migliore
is the Jesuit Father Lombardo,
who has organized the new apos
tolic center outside Rome as head
quarters for the movement warm
ly endorsed by Pope Pius XII and
the present Pope.
Love, says Fr. Lombardo, must
become the dynamic force that
Christ aneant it to be. This is the
antidote, this, love of Christ in
Christian souls, says Lombardo,
which must win over materialism
and Communism.
All Italian Bishops have already
made retreats at this Pius XII
center. Lombardo’s retreat methods
have been systematized and ex
panded into semester retreats simi
lar to the Jesuit Tertianship year.
serenity and cheerfulness. You
will be modest in victory, unruffl
ed in defeat, resolute in difficult
situations. You will show your
selves true athletes, giving to the
great crowds of spectators further
proof of the truth of the old say
ing — a healthly body possesses
a healthy mind.”
In the last part of his speech
the Pope spoke on the Christian
character and inheritance of Rome.
He said:
“The city of Rome was most
appropriately established as the
center of the Christian religion.
And this same city, in keeping with
such a lofty dignity, throughout
the vicissitudes of history, used
all its strengths and endeavors to
bring to peoples all over the world
the supreme benefits of the salva
tion of the Gospel, charity and
peace.”
