Why don't young Cnthollc8 Wt'ite? Perhaps the1·c UI'O very good

he that the young Cntholic i~n't • mart enough to ent.er into n competitive

The dut)' of the young Catholic ia to move the anti-moral trash from

The young Catholic w1iter (to be) i• ocari'd beea~>--., of the unqu~:.

LOURDES COMMEMORATION
"My purents once sent u~ f .>r faggots, my sister Ma1ie and me
and ftnother girl named Jeanne Abadie. Marie and Jeanne left me
behind on the Chalet l$le near the brook opposite the grotto. And
•uddenly m n niche in the rock there stood a lady all in white with
a blue jrirdle ond a ~!den ro."" upon e:tcb foot. And later I told
Marie and Jeanne aboul. it und my mother, too. And my mother
forbode me to go back there. But I did go back. And the lady was
thel'f' whenever I went. And the third time she spoke to me and
naked me to come back every day lor fiftee-n days. And I went for
fifteen dny• ond the lady stayed away only twice, on :1 Monday and
u f'ridny. On the third Tbu1·sday she bade me wash in the spring
nnd drink o! 1ls water. But there was no ~pring to be seen and the

The Indy's only mess.tlgC to the world was "1Repenlanc:e ;" hca· girt,

You did not uudcrl'land the lady's pul'pos~. but you aece1>tcd hca·

Catholics In Action
The Kennedys of Massachusetts
One of the most personable, upright politicians ever to
serve as a UnHed States Senator is 40 year old J ohn F.
Kennedy, the junior senator from Massachusetts. The
attention of the nation was focused on Mr. Kennedy in
1956 when, after a spectacular last minute effort on the
part of his many SUJ>porters, he came very close to being
Adlai Stevenson's running mate.
The Kennedys of Boston are one of the most prominent
and popular l\'lassachusetts families. J oseph P. Kennedy,
son of an East Boston democratic leader and himself an
11mbassador to England under Franklin Roosevelt, is the
head of this well known fa mily. l J l his younger years
he established a reputation for himself as a shrewd financier
and by his well planned investments he secured for
himself a ,·ast fortune-the sum total of which he has
not chosen to make public. His nine cbilurt:n. two now
deceased, have made wise use of the million dollar trust
fund which their father established for each of them.
Their mother, Rose Fitzgerald, is the daughter of John
F. "Honey Fitz" F itzgerald, Boston mayor in the 1920's.
All the Kennedys have shown his Chr istopher movement. Roso.·

TOUJOURS L'AMOUR-ORCUPID'S
ON THE LOOSE AGAIN!
Someone once wrote a song whose title posed the baffling
pl'oblem "What Is This Thing Called Love?" but
not before or since has romantic mankind been able to
completely solve it.
Even though philosophy offe1·s a crystal-clear definition,
somehow the lovelorn are quite immune to philosophica
l explanations. Everyone knows the proverbial reason
for this immunity : love is blind.
S.in-ce the question in the song title is relevant to Va lentine's
Day, t his is an opportune time to see if our modern
world can at least approach some solution.
From her dubious vantage point on cloud number nine,
the 1>ining sweetheart whose life revolves around an
orchid corsage, t hat unexpected box of candy, the anticipated
phone call, or Romeo's ardent letters sees "this
thing called love" through rose colored glasses and probably
cannot give an unbiased opinion.
Any other alwrnatives? Of
eourse. Consult Romeo, lhe levelheaded
realist with both feet
planted on the ground. Will be be
in a sentimental trance? Naturally
not. Though Cupid's al'l'ow
hus ~tt·uck, he l'Cmains unaffected
und unchanged. ObseJ·ve how he
butters. his fork. lig-hts the filter
end o( a cigtrrette. and never
notices that lhe bonk he i ~ o·eading
is upside down Ol' the coat
he is wearing i~ inside out. So it
~eems tbul the masculine repre:·
sent:• tivc of lovc•·s' lane is a}s,
unqunlificd to give any logical
nn:;wel'.
Why not :1bandnn the whole
project, then. and leave the bewitched,
botheo·ed '"'d bewildered
to their delightiul doom of hearts
and flower$.
Still on the topic of )'amour,
though. is thoo·e any hOJ>e !or the
ill-fated wall flower and the
bachcl()J• hoy who~e only Valcn·
tines are from mother? Answer·
ing their cry, modern society
hurls a barrage of fool-proof s ug.
g:estions at the unlucky ;n love.
For htst.ance, a timid h\ssie need
only turn the page of a magazine
tv diseover that. she can "find
love11 if she \veH~"S alligato1·
shoes, or profusely uses ••My Sin"
pel'fumc, and, of com·s~. she must
pledge heo· allegiance t<> floating
soaJ) and definitely should ploy
the accordion.
Then, ftom out of the mouth of
the wise and benevolent T. V.

I COULON'T UEI, I' L.\ UGHING by Ogden N~t$h
This nlirth-JH'Ovoking volume is made up of n collection o! short
stories, ~elected and with a poetic into·oduction by .Mr. Nash. Included
in the book ao·e delightful pieces by authors such as Robert Benchley,
Clarence Day, Ring Lardne1', CorneJia Otis Skinne1· itnd Emily Kimbro6gh,
Booth Tarkington, and P. G. Wode house.
One ptu·ticulaJ'Iy enjo)rable inclusion was a chapter !rom Our
llearls Were Young a.nd Gay by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily
Kimbrough. In this pnrticu lar episode, Miss Skinner flouted pneumon
ia to perform in a ship's concert. 'rhe next. morning she discovered
that she was ill, but with the measles. Rather thnn let heo·
face the possibility of being held in quaruntine when they docked
the next day, Miss Kimbrough and a doctor foiend smuggled hor ofT
the ship nnd to her wniting pnrcnts.
The rest of the selections a 1·e equally light and entet·taining. COl'\·
sidering the fact thot Mo·. Nash selected ~he shot·t stol'ies for this

A Letter From Our Nurses
Midterm exams are past history now. and Nazareth
sti ll has 24 sophomore nurses, who love nursing and St.
J oseph's Hospital. It hardly seems possible that half of
om· general nut·sing training is over and that in ten s hort
weeks twelve of the Na:r,areth sophomores, as we're
known. wil l leave for Syracuse and specialization.
Each day at St. Joseph's is an experience completely
unlike any other. You never know what will happen
during the coming day and what effect it will have on
you. Foa· example:
Sue Hyland doesn't count sheep in her sleep, she
counts narcotics. Now, after four months, when a doctor
says, "Oh, nurse," to Geri Laemlien, she no longer answers,
"Who, me?" Speaking of <ioctors. when El len
Schifferli spelled her name for one su t·geon, he said,
"That's no name-that's a medicine!"
'l'hc Naznl'cth nurses boast of
some artists. Amy Schultz. Mnry
Ann Deegan und Judy W"lker
d<'Cotated the 0 R's g igantic
windows with beautif ul paintings
al Cho·istmas. Judy Rookey is
the busiest gil'! in the class. Be·
side~ a forty hour hospital week,
she works Friday nights and Saturdnys
as a secreta t·y to a druggist..
Nancy Bryilll keeps the
ti&ss in s titchc:;, as always, with
he1· impel'sonntions of Ed Sullivnn.
Marianne Pulvino ran n
free ta.xi service this summer.
Each weekend elcvCTI or nlote
scphs piled into her s tation wagon
to go HOME. Joan Bumk
wr..stcs no time going home, she
flies.
''Vonnie Mas...,C~tu is 11 wonder·
fu l girl!" Even the su rgeons tell
her so a!ter • he scrubs !or their
operations. Mickey Bradascio nnd
Rose Orologio have the hospital
J)retty well mixed up. lt seems
that. no one can pronounce their
names. Then there's the patient
who chewed up and swalknved
the therm<Hnetea· when Jounnt!
Millet· tried \o take his tempeo·atm

Head of Missiles Faces Question
Of Propriety Or Preparedness
Lieutenant General James M. Gavin will retire this
year. He is a man who has been dedicated to the Army
for 30 years, and the decision to leave was not made
lightly. The Genet·al is a discouraged man. His job has
been one of many restrictions and discouragements.
Fot· the last four years Lt. Gen. Gavin has been Chief
of At·my Research and Development in Washington. ~Recently
he was ~a iled befot·e the Johnson Senate Pre)>aredness
Subcommittee, where he advocated a unified command
staff. He also claimed that the United States should
have an operational satellite and IRBM, but does 11ot
bec~IUse of Jack of funds and coordinated direction. His
testimony has underlined the findings of the subcommittee:
that in the higher echelons of the services there is
~oo much red tape, too little money supplied, et·t·ot·s of
.l~~gment, to!! much division of authority and responsibtlt.
ty. and nvalry among the ser vices, so that among
Chtefs of Staff cooperation is only reciprocal.
