1 Page Two SKYSCRAPER May We Suggest A Spiritual Idea; A Social Courtesy? Here are two suggestions that we should write into our class notes. We'll list the first under Spiritual Ideas and the second under Social Courtesies. The spiritual idea is a follow-up of the warning which Father Eugene Con way gave us in his recent lecture on Peace in the Atomic Age, Remember that Father told us not to stop praying for peace? Well, it's obvi ous that a permanent peace has not been established, and, if we realize that lives are endangered by super ficial peace as well as by actual warfare, we will put into our daily prayers a plea that the Patroness of our Country will bring to the world a just and lasting peace. So, let's not forget to add after our class prayer each day the words: Queen of peace, pray for us. Now let's refer to the sec ond note the social sugges tion. Let's adopt the habit of speaking to everyone we know at school, and to ev eryone we don't know. Between class smiles are as important as lunchtime conversations. Naturally, we cannot get to know 1000 girls all at once, but we can establish friendly relations with all of them in a sur prisingly short time if we work on it every day. Without getting too scien tific, let's unite the un knowns by saying Hello, to each other whenever we meet. Let's prove that we got acquainted during Get Acquainted Week, and that we're still cultivating the acquaintances.

Four score and seven years ago, the tired voice began, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, con ceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. The shifting had ceased. A tremendous silence gripped the listeners in the field. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. Seventeen months later the war officially closed, but one of the darkest periods in American history was just ahead the well named tragic era was beginning. Out of suffering and sorrow, peace final ly came. The nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, endured. In his second inaugural, Lincoln gave to the American people a charter for peace, fitting now as it was then, applicable now to a larger circle of peoples, urgent now for the preservation of the world as it was urgent then for the maintenance of the Union: With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in . . . Our country today is threatened by a tidal wave of misunderstanding and in tolerance; of selfishness and suspicion. America has been strong in the past be cause the men and women who tilled its soil, who manned its factories, who fought its battles believed in its principle of free dom. We must believe in that principle ap plied to all men believe in it sincerely and realistically and work unceasingly toward its realization all over the world. Send Christian Cards At Christmas Christmas is 35 days away. That means that the wise shopper has a little over a month in which to start checking her lists. Christmas cards, we are confident, top most of those lists because they pave the way for the spirit of the day itself. Have you purchased yours? If not, we offer a few suggestions. Christmas, it must be remembered, is a religious feast. It is the day which com memorates the greatest event in human history, the birth of the Saviour in a man ger at Bethlehem. Nineteen hundred years ago, material istic forces dominated the minds and hearts of men, and the world was unprepared to receive its King. Today, the same worldly spirit domi nates the hearts of modern men and wom en, Christmas, to many of them, is a time of material rejoicing, and the Christmas spirit, generous, but not devotional, is evi- Ideal Woman Looks to Model As the feast of the Immaculate Con ception approaches, we think especially of the Ideal Woman, the Mother of God ideal because she attained perfection in both her spiritual and her human life. Let us think especially, this year, of the qualities which our Lady manifested in her human relationships, and let us re member that she faced many of the same problems and difficulties that confront women today. An ideal woman today, as in Our Lady's day, is UNSELFISH. She gives, not for the sake of recompense, but because she thinks of others rather than of herself and be cause she has proved to herself that it is more blessed to give than to receive more blessed and more satisfying in the end. Her heart and mind are full of love and sympathy for people, which she mani fests by being KIND. In her thoughts and actions, she is charitable. She makes allowances for human frailties and she sees the image of God in everyone she meets, respecting each one accordingly. For her, the words of the Golden Rule are a rule of daily liv ing: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Related to her kind ness is her outlook on life, which is CHEERFUL. Friendly, appreciative, enthusiastic about the successes of others, she radiates happiness, her smiles bright ening gloomy moments, her laughing eyes revealing the warmth of her heart. In serious matters, she is grave, sympathetic, understanding, but never skeptical or un duly depressed. Finally, she is always TRUSTFUL OF GOD. She has learned the beauty and the power of prayer, a golden thread in the growing pattern of her daily life. And Did You Know... ' that Edward T. McCaffrey, Na tional Commander of the Catholic War veterans, has opposed at this time the proposed 12-month compulsory military training program? The Catholic War Veterans, McCaffrey said, are opposed to the enactment of peacetime military training legislation. While Selective Serv ice continues in effect, there is no valid claim of an emergency existing, requiring consideration of such legislation before the return of millions of veterans still in uni form. that the advisor on geopolitics on Justice Robert A. Jackson's Council for the Prosecution of Axis War Criminality is the Reverend Edmund A. Walsh, S.J. ? Regent of the School of Foreign Service at George town university, Father Walsh was for merly a lecturer at the Command and Gen eral Staff school at Fort Leavenworth and at the Judge Advocate General's school at Ann Arbor. that an appeal was made on behalf of the Catholic diocese and the Protestant State church of Hesse for close coopera tion of all Christians during the crisis the country is now facing? The powers of yesterday have failed because of the ex clusion of the Christian spirit, the state ment says. The present plight of our people will be overcome if the Christian forces participate responsibly in the work of reconstruction. To achieve this end, the two Christian churches have met for joint action. that the first American military Mass since Pearl Harbor was offered in the university chapel at Tientsin, China, re cently ? The Mass, offered by the Reverend John J. Stanley, C.S.P., Navy Chaplain, was attended by members of the faculty and the student body of the Catholic uni versity and by 20 Marines. that the General Chaplaincy of Prisoners and Deported persons at Paris dent in the pagan Christmas cards the world is buying and selling. Scotty dogs, furry kittens, cosy fire places, winter scenes, and bright poinset- tias take precedence on the card counters over pictures of the Nativity, of the Adora tion of the Magi, and of other religious subjects. There is, of course, nothing essentially wrong with pictures of animals and with winter scenes, but they usually fail to sug gest the blessed beauty of the Christmas- tide. Surely YOU realize the emptiness and inadequacy of Christmas cards with non- religious motifs. Surely YOU are aware of the fact that the Coming of Christ is the real reason for saying Merry Christmas. Surely, then, YOU will send Christian Christmas cards this year. reports that 163 French Catholic priests died or were shot in German concentration camps? The reports add that 369 priests deported to Germany have been returned to France and that 338 have been released from Nazi prison camps within France. that Bing Crosby has been made an honorary member of the Athens Con fraternity of the Perpetual Rosary? The first honorary member since the Confrater nity was formed 47 years ago, he was recognized for his work on behalf of the world-wide broadcast dedicated to the Family Rosary last Mother's Day. that His Holiness Pope Pius XII emphasized the dignity, responsibility, and obligations of teachers in a recent address at an audience to members of the Italian Association of Catholic teachers? The Holy Father stated that because of the failure of some mothers to understand their holy duty, teachers are called upon to shoulder the full responsibility of a child's training.
