Knights
of Columbus Roundup
Edited By Duane A. Russell
State Public Relations Chairman
S-O-S can mean several things,
like ‘Save Our Ship — Save Our
Souls, or Save Our Sons, but to
Knights of Columbus members
throughout North Carolina and
over the nation, it means but one
thing: Stamp out smut/ Councils
throughout the nation are actively
engaged in this campaign against
the sale of indecent literature and
related pictures. This battle being
waged against the formidable for
ces responsible for the publica
tion and distribution of this
SMUT that floods the newsstands
and the corner drug store etc., is
a hard fight. Our Order has al
ready won a significant victory in
the Supreme Court decision in the
Ginsburg case in New York.
This is only the beginning. The
Knights of Columbus, with the
support of all peoples of all faiths,
are making headway in this all
out fight against filth. Civic, fra
ternal and religious bodies, and
many more organizations, have
lined up with the Knights in this
crusade. It will be a long and
vigorous fight, but it will be won
in the end. In the near future
there will be a report from our
State Chairman of Indecent Lit
erature as to how far the State
Councils have proceeded with the
campaign.

Halifax Church
Has 1 Parishioner
But 500 Visitors
Nearly 500 persons visited the
Church of the Immaculate Con
ception in Halifax on Tuesday,
April 12. This date commemorat
ed the 190th anniversary of the
signing of the Halifax Resolves,
the first state action taken for in
dependence.
The lovely little church, dedi
cated May 5, 1889 by Bishop Leo
Haid, was the first Catholic church
in Halifax county. The first pastor
was Father Thomas Price, the “Tar
Heel Apostle” who went on to es
tablish Nazareth, the Catholic Or
phanage at Raleigh and to co
found in 1911 the Maryknoll or
der.
According to the research of
Mr. John Harbeson of Philadelphia,
the church was undoubtedly de
signed by Edwin Forrest Durang,
a Philadelphia architect and an
outstanding Catholic layman. Du
rang, who lived from about 1830
to 1911, designed many churches
in the Philadelphia area, among
them the Church of the Gesu in
1880. So far as can be determined,
the Church of the Immaculate Con
ception at Halifax is the only
church Durang ever designed in
N.C.
The little church today is under
the jurisdiction of His Excellency
Vincent S. Waters, Bishop of Ral
eigh. Father Thomas Colgan of Ro
anoke Rapids is the pastor.
