GRAND KNIGHT ERNEST I. KING, WILMINGTON COUNCIL
1074, gives us a preview of things to come at the 1968 State K. of C.
Convention to be held in the Port City May 17-18-19 in the following
preliminary report:
“Our advertising program is going along remarkably well. We
have engaged a band for our annual ball; our banquet plans are almost
complete, and our plan to hold our Saturday morning session aboard
the Battleship North Carolina is being worked out. Committees are
working on golf and bowling tournaments and other forms of recre
ation, and a special committee is formulating plans for our ladies.
“For those who like deep-sea fishing, and can arrange to come a
day earlier, boats may be chartered for Thursday afternoon or early
Friday, and if this fails there are several fishing piers here that one
may try his luck at any time. This is no fish story. As you know Wil
, mington is noted for its scenic beauty and its historic lore. There is
Airline Gardens and Orton Plantation, Fort Fisher and many more
spots of interest. St. Johns Art Gallery is one of our major attractions.
“Perhaps this is not an appropriate time to mention swimming,
boat-racing, surfacing, water-skiing, and the like, but come convention
time, all of these sports will be in order.”
Sounds like some interesting events are being planned by Brother
King and his committees for the Knights and their ladies next May.
And don’t forget WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH. You will truly be in
VARIETY LAND in Wilmington.
Although it is four months away, PIEDMONT COUNCIL 939,
GREENSBORO, already has started work on its Annual Teenage Tal
ent Show to be held in early March. This event, which has won national
recognition, promises to be bigger and better than ever, according to
Brother THOMAS J. MCNULTY, YOUTH ACTIVITY CHAIRMAN.
CHARLOTTE COUNCIL 770 received five new Brothers into the
_ Order at a First Degree exemplification held at their home on No
vember 28. . . . Two KnigHts-Of-The-Month were chosen for October —
MIKE MASCOTTI and GEORGE BALOG.
Brother GUION C. DAVIS, 436 Carolina Ave., is the new FINAN
CIAL SECRETARY of ROCKY MOUNT COUNCIL 4600, succeeding
Brother JOHN FITZPATRICK, resigned.
« Greetings From Our State Deputy
“I wish to take this opportunity to extend to all Brother Knights
and their families, on behalf of the State Council Officer’s, our best
wishes for a very enjoyable Christmas season. For our Brother Knights
in Vietnam and those serving our country elsewhere, as well as those
Brothers who are hospitalized here, know that our prayers are for your
speedy recovery. To our Council Chaplain’s and all members of the
Clergy, God’s choicest blessings for you. And to everyone — a healthy,
prosperous and meaningful Year in 1968.
GEORGE E. LUND, JR.,
STATE DEPUTY, CHARLOTTE.”

Milwaukee Affirms
Open Housing Law,
Fr. Groppi legal’
Milwaukee — (NC). — The
Milwaukee Common Council has
adopted an open housing ordi
nance which duplicates the pro
visions of an already existing
state law barring discrimination
in the sale or rental of non
owner occupied housing.
Passage (Dec. 12) of the ordi
nance was termed “worse than
nothing” by Mrs. Vel Phillips,
Negro councilwoman, who has
five times proposed stronger or
dinances which were defeated by
the council. She estimated that
only 33 percent of Milwaukee’s
housing would be covered by the
new law.
Two weeks earlier the council
voted to hold an April referen
dum which will ask Milwaukee
citizens to vote on the resolu
tion: “That the Common Council
of the City of Milwaukee shall
not enact any ordinance which
in any manner restricts the
right of owners of real estate to
sell, lease or rent private prop
erty,”
Father James E. Groppi, advi
sor to the NAACP Youth Coun
cil which has been demonstrating
daily for an open housing ordi
nance for three and a half
months, has charged that the ref
erendum is unconstitutional. A
suit has been filed in Federal
Court by the American Civil Lib
erties Union challenging the ref
erendum’s legality.
Father Groppi had also urged
the council to adopt a stronger
open housing ordinance stating,
“We are tired of political struc
tures . . . that give to the black
man his rights in piecemeal fash
ion.”

Heart Transplant
Morality of Various Surgical
Procedures, viewed by Daily
Vatican City — (NC) — The Vatican City daily newspaper, com
menting on the transplantation of a human heart from a corpse into
a critically ill patient in South Africa, has restated the teaching of
Pope Pius XII on various kinds of surgical transplantation.
The front-page article m L Os
servatore Romano said that, al
though there is “no question
whatever” about transplants of
self-regenerating organic matter,
such as blood from one person to
another, there may be no licit
transplantation “in the case of
removals which are not repara
ble and are regarded as real mu
tilations seriously undermining
the wholeness of the organism.”
The article, by Italian Fran
ciscan Father Gino Concetti, ob
served that those who maintain
the liceity of transplants serious
ly undermining the wholeness of
the donor's organism “usually ad
vance as justification the motive
of charity or of mankind’s uni
ty.” But he recalled that Pope
Pius XII rejected this notion.
Licit Action
However, in the case of twin
organs, such as kidneys or eyes,
it is considered licit to give one
to a person in dire need of it.
The article continued: “When
a transplant is made from a
corpse its lawfulness is universal
ly upheld. . . .
“Is the principle also valid re
garding the replacement of a dis
eased organ which is considered
vital for the organism, as in the
specific cases of South Africa and
the United States? We believe
we can find the answer in the
speech of Pius XII of Sept. 30,
1956:
“ ‘In desperate cases, when a
sick person is lost unless there
is an intervention, and when
there exists a medication, a
means, an operation which, with
out excluding any danger still
has some possibility of success,
an upright and reflective mind
admits without further ado that
a doctor may proceed with the
application of such treatment
with the express or tacit consent
of the patient’.”
