England, Speaker of the House
of Commons, author of Utopia,
was condemned to death, 1st
July, 1535.”
St Thomas More was con
demned to death for treason for
refusing to take an oath of su
premacy to King Henry VIII as
head of the Church. His feast
day is July 9.
Among the principal guests
present were Cardinal Heenan
of Westminster and Anglican
Archbishop Ramsey of Canter
bury.
Lord Gardiner said that Sir
Thomas More is famous because
he chose to give up his posses
sions, his reputation and finally
his life for a principle.
“We have as part of our heri
tage the example of a man who
would not compromise on a
question of conscience,” he
added. “That is not something
that happens so frequently that
we can afford to let it be for
gotten.”

SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (MIDNIGHT) is the last chance for
GRAND KNIGHTS to have in the Post Office their REPORT OF
COUNCIL ACTIVITY, Form 1967, FOR THE SUPREME SECRE
TARY. This survey is conducted in conjunction with the National
Fraternal Congress. Your Grand Knight or the Council's GENERAL
PROGRAM CHAIRMAN should already have this report to the SU
PREME SECRETARY already in the mails!
State Deputy Darold Loecker, of South Dakota, and his State Ad
vocate Delvin N. J. Welter, were instrumental in the passage by both
Houses of the South Dakota Legislature of a model obscenity statute,
according to an article in the Knights of Columbus News publication.
The bill defines obscenity and sets up specific penalties for violation
of same. It passed both Houses by overwhelming support, and no doubt
will be effective in the surging tide of pornography.
In a letter to all GRAND KNIGHTS AND STATE OFFICERS,
Brother GEORGE L. GETTIER, Chairman of the State Fraternal Ac
tivity Committee, reminds: “Once again it is time to bring to your
attention the State Fraternal Activity of selecting THE NORTH
CAROLINA KNIGHT OF THE YEAR, to be chosen at the State Con
vention in WILMINGTON from among the candidates selected by the
local Councils.” ... Brother Gettier must have your selected candi
date’s name and qualifications “NO LATER THAN THE LAST WEEK
END OF APRIL.” Address George at 1338 DURWOOD DRIVE, CHAR
LOTTE, (28204)
Here is a wonderful suggestion from a reader of this column: Will
the Grand Knights of each Council send to us the name of the mem
ber in your Council with the longest number of years as a Knight, the
date he received his degrees and where. Also, a photograph of the
Brothers will be appreciated. LET US HEAR FROM YOU GRAND
KNIGHTS BEFORE THE STATE CONVENTION IN MAY!
Congratulations to Brothers JOE HARRISON and JIM ROBERT
SON of ASHEVILLE COUNCIL 1695 for being named ‘KNIGHTS OF
THE MONTH’, Harrison for September and Robertson for February.
And CARDINAL GIBBONS COUNCIL in FAYETTEVILLE honored
Brother PAUL M. DARCU as ‘KNIGHT OF THE MONTH’ for Febru
