11Talking Books" Bring
Literature To the Blind
Anywhere in the United Stntes you may sec city or rural delivery
mail carriers deposit black cardboard boxes, about 18" square, with
the inocription "Properly of the U.S. Government U.S. Mail Free,''
and u white card with the name of the recipient.
More than 46,000 users of these Talking Books await their arrival
with impatience. And each of them is blind. These boxes contain the
ftlmous Talking Books, "solely for the usc of the blind" as t.be inscrip­tion
on each record statea.
The background or these long-playing records, wbic.b make thou·
•ands or books available to those who can no longer use their eyes to
read, is antazing. It is n long cry from the days back in 1934 when a
sma1l group of reaearch engineers and seaenttsts oi the American
Foundation for the Blind, after years of research, produced a long­playing
t·ccord nt least satisfactory, if not perfect.

on in the old Grand Centt·al Pal·

WOMANLINESS:
A MODERN NEED Don't Drop that Mirror !
Women h:tve won their fight

EQUAL. Woman have as much or
more intelligence; they have
strong qualities of leadership;
they can command an equal or
higher salary thnn n n1an and
rerhaps do thi• oven at the ~~ame
job. Are they perhaps •uperior
to the male!
Independence and equality are
valuable qu.~lities. A woman, be·
ing essentially a human person,
thus indienting thnt •he has n
soul, can claim these qualitieB ns
her own. However, in the modern
world today all this emphasis on
independence, equality, und SU·
periority leads the thinking wom·
an tn the c1ucstion, "Whnt is the
role of woman ?11 "Whci'C does
she belong?"

Superiority is the ntmosphet·c
that. hus aristn from an over·
emphasis on freedom nnd equol
rights. It is the atmosphere of
superiority thnt plnys havoc with
a woman's very nnt.u~. If n wom·
an acts with mnn1y qualities she
is frustrating her nature. Woman

I<Hocking on wood comes from

John XXIII Calls Ecumenical
btouncil For Church Unity
Pope John XXIII, who has already been acclaimed as the Pope of
11, announ<td on January 25 that he would call an ecumenical
·,the twenty-firn in the history of the Church. This announce­\
came as a surprise to Christians throughout the world. The
n rectnt wuncil was the Vatican Council of 1869-70 and the pre·
.., .. until was the Council of Trent begun in 1563. It io interesting
nott that, since the Vatican Council was never officially closed,
cou:neil reeently announced may be considered a continuation or it.
AD t<umenioal wuncil has been defined as "a meeting of the bishops
!be world and the top religious experts to discuss and define doe·
"'and discipline." For the first. time in councH history represenla-
0 ·• of other ohurches will b<' invited as observers. Officials of the
ricon Epi>copalians nnd the
o.rth of England have already

An Easter Outfit
"l it! is risen" echoes the universe as Eastct· mo1·ning dawns bl'ight
and sparkling with the sunshine of a new life.
Long ago on ~hat first Easter, how triumphant must have been that
march of souls into heaven, ready to begin a new life there-altain·
able at last tht·ough Christ's passion, death and Rc•urreclion.
However, we here on earth do in some small mc.tumre attnin u re­birth
every Easter. For some, Easter means the coming of Spring.
The days lose their drabness and take on sunshine and warmth. For
other~ Easter mearts a rebirth along the clothing line. Dark, heavy
clothing •s cxchnnged fot• light, btight fabrics nnd climaxing with
that traditional extravaganza.-tbe Easter bonnet.
llowever, too few attain a spiritual ruurrection, the true goal of
Easter. To help u• attain our goal we nrc given U>nt, a time for self·
examination and penance. We should discard the wom and tnttered
clo~hing of t he soul and by good works and penance weave new, bright,
g.orious coverings so that on East.er morn our souls can be covl'red
with the brightes~. purest whit.e attainable. It is the time to give our
spiri~utll pt·aetices a good overhauling and start practicing again
those old t·esolutions so quickly forgotten.
~t us arise on Easter, not only with a new Easter outfit externally,
but wi~h a new spiritual Easter outfit 88 well, radiating the ~rue light
and spirit of F.ast.er. Let us rejoice sincerely for on this anniversary
ol Christ's Resunection we too can be reborn in Him.
~1•\ll Y MiD JOSEPR
We know of St. Joseph ~hat be was a "just mnn," a descendant
of the royal house of David, and n carpenter. It was into this
man's keeping that the Mother of God and her Divine Son we,..
given. St. Joseph must have been a very great man indeed; it is
unfortunate that we know so little about him. The book Mary
and Joseph by Denis O'Shea is an attempt to All in some o! the
fnseinating details which sut1'ound thnt most pcl'!cct of wedded
COUJ>les.
The basis of the book is the canonical Gospeh1, "supplemented
cau~iously" from other sources or information about that period.
Some very in~et·esting quotations ft•om the apocryJ>hal gospels
at•e included. These cannot, as Father O'Shea points out. be
rejtarded as serious history; they do, however, record the
imagination, hopes, and fears of the early wri!A!ra. who sought
to satisfy the natural curiosity about the Holy Family with
fut·thet· infot·mation. From these nccounts we have such details
88 the names o! ll1at'y'a parents; along with many quaint. and
charming pictures of the girlhood or Mary and her betrothal
to JO$cph.
The ehapt.et·s devoted to St. Joseph give us a fnil'ly clear ideo
of his charaet.et·, occupation, financial s tatus, nnd his religious
dulles. ll1ore than that., they bring Joseph the man vividly t.o
liCe. One of the questions discu$SCd is that of his age; the
apocryphal are blamed for presenting Joseph as a very old man,
and t·cligious at·t has genctally port.aycd hin1 as such. This WIIS
not the case, and impressive proofs are presented in defense of
the youth of Joseph; among them is the logical !act that the
man entrusted with the well-being of the Saviour and His ~!other
would have to be a man of strength, vigor and intelligence who
cou ld care for this Family ovet· a pet·iod of years. If Joseph had
been a man of advanced age be would not have been able to
earry out this mission.
Descriptions of the Temple at JeruBalem, the priests and peo­ple,
the his tory o! the Jews, along with character studies of Our
Lord's t·clativcs, Zachary, Eliza beth, and theit· prophet-son,
John. are given with a wealth of detail. This book will be of
special interest to all who wish to become more familiar with
the just man, Joseph, for it sheds a penetrating light both on
him und on the picturesque age in which he and Mary went
their unassuming, earth-shattering ways.

AN EXPLANATION
FOR SUFFERING
H is Easter that makes human
suffering nWilningful. From the
c!nwn of his tot y man hos tried, in
vnin, to solve the problem of su!­rcl'ing.
Some huve sought to solve
the problem by ignoring suffering
and pre~ending that it does not
exists; othN·s have run away
f1·om suffet·ing ito dark despair.

II c used it to re­deem
and "" nc·
tify :t f n II en

portant thing is that He did oot
have to use sutfering. He could
have achieved the glory of the re·
demption without tbe ctoss; a•d
yet, having joy set before Rin1,
He chose the Cl'OSs. Deliberately
nnd without compulsion lie chose
Good Friday as the means to
Easter Sunda~··
In choosing suffering, Chri•t
dignified su fl'cring, not only His,
but ull human •offering. He made
it possible for us to join our su!­forings
to Ris Passion. Those
who have been called by God :o
suffer physicuf pain OJ' mcntul an­guish
a1·e :1ot to be pitied; in a
sen~e, they are to be envied. Thev
at·e to be envied not because .;c
the pain, but l.ccnuse or the pt•ef·
et·entinl love whet·eby Cod has
chosen them to reenact Ills Pas.
sion in their souls nnd bodiett.
They too cun help t·edeem a
world that i• in ~uch sel'ioug need
of redemption.
One day a Nazi soldier went to
n hospital lo visit his wi!e who
had just given birth to n baby
boy. As he entered the t·oom he
saw a crucifix over the bed. In A
fit of t·age he tore the crucilix
from the wall nnd broke it to bits
on the floor, c•·ying out; ''No son
of mine shn ll ~ver look on the
ero$s of Christ.'' Ris wife looked
up nt him nnd said: "You need
not !cor. Yout· son shall never
look on the e•·oss of Cht·ist. Your
son was born hlind.n
There are many today who are
~lind to the meaning of the Ct'Oss
ot Christ. But fot· us the cross
of Christ mu•t always be benuti·

Scandinavian Cultural Studies
Jn a unique experiment planned to help college students now
deciding about a year of study abroad, 60 All1c1·ican students of the
:>can<linavian Smninar for Cultul'81 Stu<lies met t•ece.ntly in Tranbe1·g,
Norway, t.o add up and report results of their first live months in
Venmark, Norway and Sweden.
Summed up, they say, '1G0.'1 ln the words of Seminar membet· .John
M. Lovejoy, Bates CoUcge, '58, "The elecLJ·ic atmosphere o1 a new
rot·e>gn land cannot help but institute changes in one's being. Ln this
atmosJ>here, maturity seems to charge along in leaps and bounds.
'!'he whole situation has been an invaluable experience."
The program offered by Scan­dtnavian
~emin ar makes this re·
vort worth attention.
\J nder the Seminar plan, A mer­icans
become part of Scan<li­navian
life by living with two
families for a month each, then
spending six months at a "!olke­hojskle!'
These schools, with theio·

cial science, have had a profound
effect on Scandinavia's culture
and politics and offer Americans
insights unattainable any other
way.
StudenU; learn the IMguage
chiefly Lhe ''natural way," by Hv­ing
it. As Mao·garet Chase, An­tioch
College junior, says, "one
ol the most valuable experiences
to me has been being unable to
communicate in the beginning ...
to be 21 with a vocabularly of a
5-year-old."
Between family stays and school,
Scandinavian Seminar students
have .. short courses" for lan­guage
instruction, and, more .im·
por-tant., for meeting wlth leading
national personalities in t he arts,
history and c u r •· en t affairs
through lectures an <I discussions.
'l'hinking a loud about this and
fie ld tl'ips s he has mnnaged, Ma>·­cia
Woodruff, Smith College, '58,
answered the question, " \Vhat do
you get out of a year like this?"
in this way:
''An understanding of a new
country and culture and theo·e.fo>·e
a chancn to look at our own fl'om
a new standpoint. For most of us,
a new appreciation of America.
But above all, a new Jook at our­selves,
by being fo>·ced out or old
livin~ patterns. by JivinJr for a
time without. a lang-uage, by be­ing
forced to look at things with
other than our owu society's point
of view."

ROCKEFELLER TAX
MEETS OPPOSITION
During his gube1·natorin.l cam­l>
aign, Governor Rockefeller prom­ised
many things to many groups
of people. Charming t he voters
with his smile, friendly manner,
and the usual campaign promises,
he was elected Governor of New
York State. Once he wns elected,
he wns !aced with the question of
how to fulfill those promises. To
do this he needed mouey. This
bt'Ought up tbe question of how to
ra1se the nloney. His answer was
tax •·efonn. He pushed through
the legislature a two cent tax in ..
cre..'lse on cigarettes and a two
cent Lax inet'ease on gasoline.
This was met with mild opposi­tion,
but. when the goventOI" pre­sented
his budget and his stale
tnx prog>·•m (Ol' 1959, a storm of
t>l'otest arose throughout ~he
state.
H.is plan included n budget oi
$2,041,000,000 and a "pay as
you go" system for the state's
finances. In order to reconcile
these two ~xtremes, he pl·oposed
to lower the exemptions. I nstcad
of the present exemptions of
$1,000 fot· n single ta.xt>ayco·, and
$2,500 fot· n ma>·r ied taxpayer plus
~400 for each additiona I depend­ent,
there would Ue a flat exemp­tion
of $600 a person.
lmmcdiuLc 0 1)Posilion
The wave ol opposition to this
plan mounted immediately. Indi­vidual
t.ax payer!! wrote il'ate let­teo-,,
99 to 1 against the l)roposal.
The officials of the A.F. of 1.,. ­C.
LO. denouuced it us •'H vicious
state income tax bill that will hit
every worker itnd let the uppe>·
lu·uckets on' with mild inru·easc~."
Cries against this "soak the poor'1
mcasua·e w.:t·e heu rd all cveJ• the
state.
Tt is estimated thut it will ; ub­j
ect about 200,000 pe>·sons in low
income brackets to stnt.e income
tax and raise taxes of most a l·
ready paying. The lowe1· exem)l·
tiom; affect the family man moJx•
lhan the single man. With a
salary of $5,000 a year, a man
with a family of four would huve
to pay $13.30 mon~, whereas :-.
single t..axpayea· would only have
to pay $4.68 more.
It hns t>lso been pointed oul
that t.he increase in t.nxes is to
finance eonstnaction c.f buildings
such as slate colleges, which will
l>e used by future generations .. It
will free fututc generations f rom
!>Hying the bui ldings which they
will use al$ mueh u:; lhe J>l'esent
genexat.ion. Cerhtin ly no on c
should complain about 1>aying his
shue of expenses for public wel­fare
JH'Ojects. This plan, however,
calls for the citizens of today to
pay !OJ' moo·c than their share.
Because of the widestll·ead op­I>
OSition !!'Om the people, Rocke­feller
has had difficulty in gain­ing
lhe necessary support from
the legjslature to pass this plan.
He has been forced to ste1> down
!rom hh; initial no compromise
stand and to cut his budget. The
issu~ now resolved jllustrates the
way in which Rockefeller will
handle future political problems.
In Pbi iadelphia, a worker stop­ped
off to pick up unemployment
m011ey from the company that
had lnid h:m off, told the Employ­ment
Manager, "Hurty up. My
cab is waiting."

.. Togetherness" is one manifes ..
talion of the ti'Oubled smte of
American society today. It has
thot·oughly permeated Amelican
life and culture and appears to
have successfully stilled the voice
of the individualist-of the crea­tor
and the builder. The term car­ries
with it disturbing connota­tions
which far outweigh its dubi­oulS
merit:s. It i:o; indicat.j vt!' ul a
distaste for solitude and u mis­t>

the society i n
which they l ived vital conclusions
and convictions. Their answers
may not have been the right ones
-but they wea·e an$wet·s. They
chose not to a void t he issues of

They po·e.ferred mental
anguish to mental stagnation.
They were vit.ally and sincerely
int(lrested in ideas. They pro-tested,
they incurred t he wrath of
society, and they thought-not
superficially, but deeply and re­lentlessly.
The in<lividual who loves his

In their search for social and
finanC:al security, u disturbingly
large numbe1· of young people
