bration with active particishypation in Midnight and other Masses and the reception of Holy Communion Then there was time for presents and family and the peace and happiness that are so much a part of lthristmas in which Christ has tile central role
The use of the Advent Wreath bas brought many homes throughout the Diocese to a greater degree of spiritual preshyparation than ever before The four weeks of Advent saw famshyilies reciting family prayers ouod the Wreath For the priests of the Diocese fIhe iast few days have been exshyileedingly busy ones Theirs was

The dispensation granted by Pope John makes it possible for the Christmas turkey to be picked over tomorrow The Holy Father with kind understandshying has permitted Catholics to eat meat tomorrow and thus finish oft the turkey

S To understand Christmas we must realize what we are and what God is We must experience in the depths of our souls the love of God bringing about that while all things were in quiet and silence and the night was in the midst of her course the Almighty Word of God came down from His heavenly throne and the Word was made flesh
This is the central fact of Chdstianity-The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us This is the Love of laquood made visible to us This is our hope and our salvation This is what gives purpose to our lives This is what at this )oly season gives peace on earth to men who ae Gods friends
May that peace of God which surpasses all understanding poundliard our minds and our hearts in Christ Jesus Our Lord
~6l_5- Bishop of Fall River
And it came to pall those days there went out from Caesar Augustus that ne whole world should be enrolled
Tile enrolling was first made by Cyrinus the governor of Syria
And all went to be enrolled every one into his own city
And Joseph also went up from Galile~ out of the city of Nazareth into Judea to the city of David which is called Bethlehem because he was of tlYe house and family of David
To be enrolled with Mary his esshypoused wife who was with child
And it oame to pass that when they were there her days were acshycomplished that she should be delivered
And she brought forth her first shyborn sonmiddot and wrapped Him up in swoddling clothes and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn
And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping rtight-watches ov~r their flock
And behold an angel of the Laid stood by them and the brightne~sof God shone roundabout them and they feared with a great fear
And the angel- said to them Fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people

Sisters of Mercy gather around The Carmelite Sisters for the Turn to Page Sixteen
For this day is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord in the city of David
And this shall be a sign unto you you shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men of good will
And it came to pass after the angels departed from them into heaven the shepherds said one to another Let us go over to Bethlehem and let us see this word that is come to pass which the Lord hath showed to us
And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the
infant lying in the manger
And seeing they understood of the word that had been spoken ta them concerning this child
And aU that heard ~~ndered and at those things that were told them by the shepherds
But Mary kept all these words pondering them in her heart
And the shepherds returned glori shyfying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen as it was told unto them
(St Luke 21-20)

Says Yugoslavia Esca pees Flee Oppression
GENEVA (NC) - Thoushy-sands of refugees who esshycape from Yugoslavia and seek asylum in western Europe all too often are repashytriated classed as economic reshyfugees seeking to escape povshyerty rather than oppression
This opinion was expressed by Jean Chennard of the European ~
headquarters of the U S Cathshyolic Bishops worldwide relief and rehabilitation agency atthe 12th annual conference of counshytry refugee directors being held here
The vast majority of these people are legitimate refugees from social religious and polit shyical oppression Mr Chenard said For many of them the only freedom they enjoyed in their - country was freedom of unspoken thought The suppresshysion of freedom to worship and other fundamental human rights in Yugoslavia scarcely differs in degree from that practiced in other communist countries
Mr Chenard declared each month some 1000 persons escape over the borders of Yugoslavia into western Europe He esti shymated there now are over 20000 escapees from that country in western Europe
He deploredthat all too often these legitimate refugees are cnracterized as second class or economic refugees and sent back into Yugoslavia to facereshyprisals of the Tito regime Genshyerally he charged when repashytriated the refugees are senshytenced to four months in jail and also face subsequent economic and social persecution
Mr Chenard said he supported wholeheartedly the refugee camp clearance operation launched earlier this year by the United Nations High Comshymissioner for Refugees but he pleaded the cause of some 100shy000 out-of-camp refugees
He said that the rpajority of these are forced laborers of World War II who refused to reshytur~ to their communist domishynated homelands at
L
wars end They remained in communities where they found work he conshytinued and about one-third of them now have established themshy~~lves satisfactorily The other two-thirds he related have faced maj or obstacles toward their integration into normal life of their present communishyties These obstacl~s he saidcould be defined broadly under the headings of housing health shysteady employment and disabil shyity
They should not be penalized because they do not live in camps Mr Chenard said They have to fend for themselves and have received no official help These people have the right to our respect and our help so that they may once again know what it is to be needed by the comshymunity And we may very well ask ourselves whether the beshyreaved and the children of the bereaved will look with kindly eyes upon the so-called Free World that denied help to them so greatly in need_

Portuguese Paper Defendls Rights After Premier Salaars Censure
LISBON (NC)-In the wake of Premier Antonio Salazars deshynunciation of the political activshyity of some Catholics a leadshying Ca tholic daily has defended poiitical action by individuals as a right and duty
Novidades -edited by Msgr Avelino Goncalces and undershystood to have the financial backshying of the Portuguese Hierarchy did not mention Dr Salazars censure But in a front-page editorial entitled Church and State it denied allegations of political bias on the part of Catholic Action
It is an apostolic organization which in the spiritual domain is the most capable of immunizing youth against the communist ideal the paper said Thus it does not only collaborate with the Church but in the best way witlJ- the middotState

The Church respects the poshylitical liberty of Catholics and only intervertes when political attitudes are contrary to CaHl shylie dOctrine or morals Thus th0 Church condemns alliance with communism las she condemns lay action which tries to organshyize political Iand social life in opposition to Christian princishyples

Dawn of Redemption The Epistle of MiInight Mass says He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people
The Christmas story-God becoming man and dwelling among us-is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ in all its touching details It is not only the bringing into focus of the Divine Childs appeal to His people
The Christmas story is the celebrating_of the Redempshytion of mankind From all eternity Gods plan for mans Redemption meant the Incarnation-God becoming man From all eternity God planned to anoint mankind by uniting a human nature to His Divinity From all eternity God willed to merit salvation for the human race through a human body and a human soul joined to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity
Christmas is the feast of the Redemption the -feast of the King The King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole earth longs to see Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand These texts taken from the Christmas Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty He is a King Who does not need the trappings of vesture or surshyroundings to point up His glory-He is God manifested in the flesh the victorious Warrior Who alone can conquer completely the hold of evil over men the conquering King Who can lead men to victory over themselves and their world
Looking upon the Infant men of good will should see not only a Child but a King not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God not only One of Whom the angels sang but One Who makes them sing in their own hearts that they have been made children of God through this Elder Brother Christ
Christmas is not only the feast of Christ-it is the feast of every Christians Redemption This night is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Keep the Spirit It is no secret that some Catholics-not the majority
nor perhaps even a large number-are careless in attending Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation Tiredness earelessness lack of a sense of worship absence of good example-these are some of the reasons responsible for their not bothering
Most do make the effort to go to Mass on Christmas Day Christmas has the power to touch the souls of those who are not especially Christian in their lives and actions
But of what value is their going to Mass on Christmas if that same spirit does not carryover into the weeks and months ahead
Christ is reborn with every Mass is in the midst of His worshipping people with every Sacrifice preparing them and making them acceptable to His Father and theirs
(
And the sincerity of attendance on Christmas Day can be measured only in the light of mens efforts to worship God and be helped by Him not alone at this season but through the rest of the year as well
Morals Without God The magazine section of a large city newspaper gave
over a full page to a d~scussion of teaching morals to childshyren
Thatis of course acommendable subject and endeavor But the remarkable fact about the article is that it went
on for a good two thousand words without a single mention of God Quite a feat
Much mention was made of conforming to standards living up to family ideals fitting in with accepted patterns
of behavior What was said is true and valuable
But the article never came to grips with the all-imshyportant heart of the matter-why a standard from whence d I h t th t h h t I b h 1 ea s w a IS e measure agams w IC 0 pace e aVlOr
How can morals be taught without mention of God It does not seem possible Appeal to family pride or standshyards can last only so long The accepted way of acting is a
rather poor substitute for the Ten Commandments Respect ability as a motive for doing good cannot replace Our Father in Heaven
All too often writers feel that any mention of God
immediately brands their articles as unscientific or sectarshyian All too often the absence of God from articles of this type brand them as foolish and unrealistic

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast
When the Papal States still

HONG KONG NC)-Misshysionary progress in the Far East reached an all-time high during the past year despite obstacles posed by comshymunismand ultranationaLism
Latest statistics reveal that a remarkable total ()f approxishymately 2121716 Baptisms reshyported during the past year brought the number of Cathoshylics to 32624699 out -of apopushylation of 1300163000 living in the countries of the Far East
Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi

existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

At best he continued we find in our country paternal rule by employers Now it is more than obvious that today the
clearly the relationship between our domestic form of governshyment and the freedom of the Church to exercise her teaching authority
Mr Salazar-in spite of or if you will precisely because of the fact that he is a praCtising Catholic-has in a negative sort of way unwittingly highlighted the importance of this relationshyship

WASHINGTON (NC) - Catholic ~ leaders gave their support to a National Safety Council appeal which has caushytioned Americans against another tra~ic record of unnecesshysary death and injury on streets and hfghways and in their homes during the coming Ch~lstmas and New Year holIdays
Cincinnatis Archbishop Karl J Alter chairman of the administrative board National Catholic Welfare Conference said he concurred heartily with the appeal and recommended it to the Catholic clergy and laity of- the country The-appeal was brought to his attention by George C Stewart National Safety Council executive vice president
Archbishop Alter recalled that last year the U SCatholie Bishops -issued a public stateshyment middotemphasizing that traffic safety is - not only a matter of public interest but also a moral question __
middot H wmiddotMart10 _ ork executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men and Margaret Mealey executive secretary of the National Council of Catholic Women at the suggestion of the Cincinnati prelate spearheaded a move to bring the safety apshypeal to the attention of the nations Catholic laity

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

Fourth it follows that for the mostmiddot part there is no absolute unchanging norms by which we can define division of labor in

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Says Yugoslavia Esca pees Flee Oppression
GENEVA (NC) - Thoushy-sands of refugees who esshycape from Yugoslavia and seek asylum in western Europe all too often are repashytriated classed as economic reshyfugees seeking to escape povshyerty rather than oppression
This opinion was expressed by Jean Chennard of the European ~
headquarters of the U S Cathshyolic Bishops worldwide relief and rehabilitation agency atthe 12th annual conference of counshytry refugee directors being held here
The vast majority of these people are legitimate refugees from social religious and polit shyical oppression Mr Chenard said For many of them the only freedom they enjoyed in their - country was freedom of unspoken thought The suppresshysion of freedom to worship and other fundamental human rights in Yugoslavia scarcely differs in degree from that practiced in other communist countries
Mr Chenard declared each month some 1000 persons escape over the borders of Yugoslavia into western Europe He esti shymated there now are over 20000 escapees from that country in western Europe
He deploredthat all too often these legitimate refugees are cnracterized as second class or economic refugees and sent back into Yugoslavia to facereshyprisals of the Tito regime Genshyerally he charged when repashytriated the refugees are senshytenced to four months in jail and also face subsequent economic and social persecution
Mr Chenard said he supported wholeheartedly the refugee camp clearance operation launched earlier this year by the United Nations High Comshymissioner for Refugees but he pleaded the cause of some 100shy000 out-of-camp refugees
He said that the rpajority of these are forced laborers of World War II who refused to reshytur~ to their communist domishynated homelands at
L

Dawn of Redemption The Epistle of MiInight Mass says He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people
The Christmas story-God becoming man and dwelling among us-is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ in all its touching details It is not only the bringing into focus of the Divine Childs appeal to His people
The Christmas story is the celebrating_of the Redempshytion of mankind From all eternity Gods plan for mans Redemption meant the Incarnation-God becoming man From all eternity God planned to anoint mankind by uniting a human nature to His Divinity From all eternity God willed to merit salvation for the human race through a human body and a human soul joined to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity
Christmas is the feast of the Redemption the -feast of the King The King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole earth longs to see Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand These texts taken from the Christmas Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty He is a King Who does not need the trappings of vesture or surshyroundings to point up His glory-He is God manifested in the flesh the victorious Warrior Who alone can conquer completely the hold of evil over men the conquering King Who can lead men to victory over themselves and their world
Looking upon the Infant men of good will should see not only a Child but a King not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God not only One of Whom the angels sang but One Who makes them sing in their own hearts that they have been made children of God through this Elder Brother Christ
Christmas is not only the feast of Christ-it is the feast of every Christians Redemption This night is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Keep the Spirit It is no secret that some Catholics-not the majority
nor perhaps even a large number-are careless in attending Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation Tiredness earelessness lack of a sense of worship absence of good example-these are some of the reasons responsible for their not bothering
Most do make the effort to go to Mass on Christmas Day Christmas has the power to touch the souls of those who are not especially Christian in their lives and actions
But of what value is their going to Mass on Christmas if that same spirit does not carryover into the weeks and months ahead
Christ is reborn with every Mass is in the midst of His worshipping people with every Sacrifice preparing them and making them acceptable to His Father and theirs
(
And the sincerity of attendance on Christmas Day can be measured only in the light of mens efforts to worship God and be helped by Him not alone at this season but through the rest of the year as well
Morals Without God The magazine section of a large city newspaper gave
over a full page to a d~scussion of teaching morals to childshyren
Thatis of course acommendable subject and endeavor But the remarkable fact about the article is that it went
on for a good two thousand words without a single mention of God Quite a feat
Much mention was made of conforming to standards living up to family ideals fitting in with accepted patterns
of behavior What was said is true and valuable
But the article never came to grips with the all-imshyportant heart of the matter-why a standard from whence d I h t th t h h t I b h 1 ea s w a IS e measure agams w IC 0 pace e aVlOr
How can morals be taught without mention of God It does not seem possible Appeal to family pride or standshyards can last only so long The accepted way of acting is a
rather poor substitute for the Ten Commandments Respect ability as a motive for doing good cannot replace Our Father in Heaven
All too often writers feel that any mention of God
immediately brands their articles as unscientific or sectarshyian All too often the absence of God from articles of this type brand them as foolish and unrealistic

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast

Latest statistics reveal that a remarkable total ()f approxishymately 2121716 Baptisms reshyported during the past year brought the number of Cathoshylics to 32624699 out -of apopushylation of 1300163000 living in the countries of the Far East
Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi

existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

of any person revealed to him in confessionBeciiuseof his refusal to do so one saint had his tongue cut out aOd Ifsbc5dY-1 thtOwD into the river The next day a bright light was s~n coming from his mouth as if to show heavenrs blessing on the secret he kept
Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered
GOD LOVE YOU to Anon for $50 Sent in honor of the Infant of Prague to EVV for $15 I had saved this for Christmas shopshyping but I feel the Missions need it most to AML for $45 The enclosed is the amount saved on my vacation by taking a bus instead 9f a plane to DK for $470 Here is a weeks salary from a boy who gets to9 much of wpat he wants-I decided- to give to the Missions
Theres a sure way to remember to add sacrifice to your prayers PrIl7 the WORLDMISSION ROSARY For a sacrifice-offering Jf $200 sent along with your request we will send you the rosary Eacli titne you finger the multi-colored beads you will think of thelanlU ill which missionaries labor for souls

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Says Yugoslavia Esca pees Flee Oppression
GENEVA (NC) - Thoushy-sands of refugees who esshycape from Yugoslavia and seek asylum in western Europe all too often are repashytriated classed as economic reshyfugees seeking to escape povshyerty rather than oppression
This opinion was expressed by Jean Chennard of the European ~
headquarters of the U S Cathshyolic Bishops worldwide relief and rehabilitation agency atthe 12th annual conference of counshytry refugee directors being held here
The vast majority of these people are legitimate refugees from social religious and polit shyical oppression Mr Chenard said For many of them the only freedom they enjoyed in their - country was freedom of unspoken thought The suppresshysion of freedom to worship and other fundamental human rights in Yugoslavia scarcely differs in degree from that practiced in other communist countries
Mr Chenard declared each month some 1000 persons escape over the borders of Yugoslavia into western Europe He esti shymated there now are over 20000 escapees from that country in western Europe
He deploredthat all too often these legitimate refugees are cnracterized as second class or economic refugees and sent back into Yugoslavia to facereshyprisals of the Tito regime Genshyerally he charged when repashytriated the refugees are senshytenced to four months in jail and also face subsequent economic and social persecution
Mr Chenard said he supported wholeheartedly the refugee camp clearance operation launched earlier this year by the United Nations High Comshymissioner for Refugees but he pleaded the cause of some 100shy000 out-of-camp refugees
He said that the rpajority of these are forced laborers of World War II who refused to reshytur~ to their communist domishynated homelands at
L
wars end They remained in communities where they found work he conshytinued and about one-third of them now have established themshy~~lves satisfactorily The other two-thirds he related have faced maj or obstacles toward their integration into normal life of their present communishyties These obstacl~s he saidcould be defined broadly under the headings of housing health shysteady employment and disabil shyity
They should not be penalized because they do not live in camps Mr Chenard said They have to fend for themselves and have received no official help These people have the right to our respect and our help so that they may once again know what it is to be needed by the comshymunity And we may very well ask ourselves whether the beshyreaved and the children of the bereaved will look with kindly eyes upon the so-called Free World that denied help to them so greatly in need_

Dawn of Redemption The Epistle of MiInight Mass says He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people
The Christmas story-God becoming man and dwelling among us-is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ in all its touching details It is not only the bringing into focus of the Divine Childs appeal to His people
The Christmas story is the celebrating_of the Redempshytion of mankind From all eternity Gods plan for mans Redemption meant the Incarnation-God becoming man From all eternity God planned to anoint mankind by uniting a human nature to His Divinity From all eternity God willed to merit salvation for the human race through a human body and a human soul joined to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity
Christmas is the feast of the Redemption the -feast of the King The King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole earth longs to see Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand These texts taken from the Christmas Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty He is a King Who does not need the trappings of vesture or surshyroundings to point up His glory-He is God manifested in the flesh the victorious Warrior Who alone can conquer completely the hold of evil over men the conquering King Who can lead men to victory over themselves and their world
Looking upon the Infant men of good will should see not only a Child but a King not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God not only One of Whom the angels sang but One Who makes them sing in their own hearts that they have been made children of God through this Elder Brother Christ
Christmas is not only the feast of Christ-it is the feast of every Christians Redemption This night is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Keep the Spirit It is no secret that some Catholics-not the majority
nor perhaps even a large number-are careless in attending Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation Tiredness earelessness lack of a sense of worship absence of good example-these are some of the reasons responsible for their not bothering
Most do make the effort to go to Mass on Christmas Day Christmas has the power to touch the souls of those who are not especially Christian in their lives and actions
But of what value is their going to Mass on Christmas if that same spirit does not carryover into the weeks and months ahead
Christ is reborn with every Mass is in the midst of His worshipping people with every Sacrifice preparing them and making them acceptable to His Father and theirs
(
And the sincerity of attendance on Christmas Day can be measured only in the light of mens efforts to worship God and be helped by Him not alone at this season but through the rest of the year as well
Morals Without God The magazine section of a large city newspaper gave
over a full page to a d~scussion of teaching morals to childshyren
Thatis of course acommendable subject and endeavor But the remarkable fact about the article is that it went
on for a good two thousand words without a single mention of God Quite a feat
Much mention was made of conforming to standards living up to family ideals fitting in with accepted patterns
of behavior What was said is true and valuable
But the article never came to grips with the all-imshyportant heart of the matter-why a standard from whence d I h t th t h h t I b h 1 ea s w a IS e measure agams w IC 0 pace e aVlOr
How can morals be taught without mention of God It does not seem possible Appeal to family pride or standshyards can last only so long The accepted way of acting is a
rather poor substitute for the Ten Commandments Respect ability as a motive for doing good cannot replace Our Father in Heaven
All too often writers feel that any mention of God
immediately brands their articles as unscientific or sectarshyian All too often the absence of God from articles of this type brand them as foolish and unrealistic

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast

Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi

existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Says Yugoslavia Esca pees Flee Oppression
GENEVA (NC) - Thoushy-sands of refugees who esshycape from Yugoslavia and seek asylum in western Europe all too often are repashytriated classed as economic reshyfugees seeking to escape povshyerty rather than oppression
This opinion was expressed by Jean Chennard of the European ~
headquarters of the U S Cathshyolic Bishops worldwide relief and rehabilitation agency atthe 12th annual conference of counshytry refugee directors being held here
The vast majority of these people are legitimate refugees from social religious and polit shyical oppression Mr Chenard said For many of them the only freedom they enjoyed in their - country was freedom of unspoken thought The suppresshysion of freedom to worship and other fundamental human rights in Yugoslavia scarcely differs in degree from that practiced in other communist countries
Mr Chenard declared each month some 1000 persons escape over the borders of Yugoslavia into western Europe He esti shymated there now are over 20000 escapees from that country in western Europe
He deploredthat all too often these legitimate refugees are cnracterized as second class or economic refugees and sent back into Yugoslavia to facereshyprisals of the Tito regime Genshyerally he charged when repashytriated the refugees are senshytenced to four months in jail and also face subsequent economic and social persecution
Mr Chenard said he supported wholeheartedly the refugee camp clearance operation launched earlier this year by the United Nations High Comshymissioner for Refugees but he pleaded the cause of some 100shy000 out-of-camp refugees
He said that the rpajority of these are forced laborers of World War II who refused to reshytur~ to their communist domishynated homelands at
L
wars end They remained in communities where they found work he conshytinued and about one-third of them now have established themshy~~lves satisfactorily The other two-thirds he related have faced maj or obstacles toward their integration into normal life of their present communishyties These obstacl~s he saidcould be defined broadly under the headings of housing health shysteady employment and disabil shyity
They should not be penalized because they do not live in camps Mr Chenard said They have to fend for themselves and have received no official help These people have the right to our respect and our help so that they may once again know what it is to be needed by the comshymunity And we may very well ask ourselves whether the beshyreaved and the children of the bereaved will look with kindly eyes upon the so-called Free World that denied help to them so greatly in need_

Portuguese Paper Defendls Rights After Premier Salaars Censure
LISBON (NC)-In the wake of Premier Antonio Salazars deshynunciation of the political activshyity of some Catholics a leadshying Ca tholic daily has defended poiitical action by individuals as a right and duty
Novidades -edited by Msgr Avelino Goncalces and undershystood to have the financial backshying of the Portuguese Hierarchy did not mention Dr Salazars censure But in a front-page editorial entitled Church and State it denied allegations of political bias on the part of Catholic Action
It is an apostolic organization which in the spiritual domain is the most capable of immunizing youth against the communist ideal the paper said Thus it does not only collaborate with the Church but in the best way witlJ- the middotState
Concerning the position o~ inshydividual Catholics the paper said

The Church respects the poshylitical liberty of Catholics and only intervertes when political attitudes are contrary to CaHl shylie dOctrine or morals Thus th0 Church condemns alliance with communism las she condemns lay action which tries to organshyize political Iand social life in opposition to Christian princishyples

CHOIRBOYS SING The newly formed boys choir of FLINT BRANCH SOMERSET BRANCR SOUTH END BRANCH Immaculate Conception church Fall River sings for patients lZ19 Pleasant Street 1045 County Skeet 1649 South Main Street at St Annes Hospital The choir is undermiddot the direction of Rev Paul G ConnoUy
Dawn of Redemption The Epistle of MiInight Mass says He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people
The Christmas story-God becoming man and dwelling among us-is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ in all its touching details It is not only the bringing into focus of the Divine Childs appeal to His people
The Christmas story is the celebrating_of the Redempshytion of mankind From all eternity Gods plan for mans Redemption meant the Incarnation-God becoming man From all eternity God planned to anoint mankind by uniting a human nature to His Divinity From all eternity God willed to merit salvation for the human race through a human body and a human soul joined to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity
Christmas is the feast of the Redemption the -feast of the King The King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole earth longs to see Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand These texts taken from the Christmas Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty He is a King Who does not need the trappings of vesture or surshyroundings to point up His glory-He is God manifested in the flesh the victorious Warrior Who alone can conquer completely the hold of evil over men the conquering King Who can lead men to victory over themselves and their world
Looking upon the Infant men of good will should see not only a Child but a King not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God not only One of Whom the angels sang but One Who makes them sing in their own hearts that they have been made children of God through this Elder Brother Christ
Christmas is not only the feast of Christ-it is the feast of every Christians Redemption This night is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Keep the Spirit It is no secret that some Catholics-not the majority
nor perhaps even a large number-are careless in attending Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation Tiredness earelessness lack of a sense of worship absence of good example-these are some of the reasons responsible for their not bothering
Most do make the effort to go to Mass on Christmas Day Christmas has the power to touch the souls of those who are not especially Christian in their lives and actions
But of what value is their going to Mass on Christmas if that same spirit does not carryover into the weeks and months ahead
Christ is reborn with every Mass is in the midst of His worshipping people with every Sacrifice preparing them and making them acceptable to His Father and theirs
(
And the sincerity of attendance on Christmas Day can be measured only in the light of mens efforts to worship God and be helped by Him not alone at this season but through the rest of the year as well
Morals Without God The magazine section of a large city newspaper gave
over a full page to a d~scussion of teaching morals to childshyren
Thatis of course acommendable subject and endeavor But the remarkable fact about the article is that it went
on for a good two thousand words without a single mention of God Quite a feat
Much mention was made of conforming to standards living up to family ideals fitting in with accepted patterns
of behavior What was said is true and valuable
But the article never came to grips with the all-imshyportant heart of the matter-why a standard from whence d I h t th t h h t I b h 1 ea s w a IS e measure agams w IC 0 pace e aVlOr
How can morals be taught without mention of God It does not seem possible Appeal to family pride or standshyards can last only so long The accepted way of acting is a
rather poor substitute for the Ten Commandments Respect ability as a motive for doing good cannot replace Our Father in Heaven
All too often writers feel that any mention of God
immediately brands their articles as unscientific or sectarshyian All too often the absence of God from articles of this type brand them as foolish and unrealistic

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast

Latest statistics reveal that a remarkable total ()f approxishymately 2121716 Baptisms reshyported during the past year brought the number of Cathoshylics to 32624699 out -of apopushylation of 1300163000 living in the countries of the Far East
Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi

existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing

Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Dawn of Redemption The Epistle of MiInight Mass says He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people
The Christmas story-God becoming man and dwelling among us-is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ in all its touching details It is not only the bringing into focus of the Divine Childs appeal to His people
The Christmas story is the celebrating_of the Redempshytion of mankind From all eternity Gods plan for mans Redemption meant the Incarnation-God becoming man From all eternity God planned to anoint mankind by uniting a human nature to His Divinity From all eternity God willed to merit salvation for the human race through a human body and a human soul joined to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity
Christmas is the feast of the Redemption the -feast of the King The King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole earth longs to see Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand These texts taken from the Christmas Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty He is a King Who does not need the trappings of vesture or surshyroundings to point up His glory-He is God manifested in the flesh the victorious Warrior Who alone can conquer completely the hold of evil over men the conquering King Who can lead men to victory over themselves and their world
Looking upon the Infant men of good will should see not only a Child but a King not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God not only One of Whom the angels sang but One Who makes them sing in their own hearts that they have been made children of God through this Elder Brother Christ
Christmas is not only the feast of Christ-it is the feast of every Christians Redemption This night is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Keep the Spirit It is no secret that some Catholics-not the majority
nor perhaps even a large number-are careless in attending Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation Tiredness earelessness lack of a sense of worship absence of good example-these are some of the reasons responsible for their not bothering
Most do make the effort to go to Mass on Christmas Day Christmas has the power to touch the souls of those who are not especially Christian in their lives and actions
But of what value is their going to Mass on Christmas if that same spirit does not carryover into the weeks and months ahead
Christ is reborn with every Mass is in the midst of His worshipping people with every Sacrifice preparing them and making them acceptable to His Father and theirs
(
And the sincerity of attendance on Christmas Day can be measured only in the light of mens efforts to worship God and be helped by Him not alone at this season but through the rest of the year as well
Morals Without God The magazine section of a large city newspaper gave
over a full page to a d~scussion of teaching morals to childshyren
Thatis of course acommendable subject and endeavor But the remarkable fact about the article is that it went
on for a good two thousand words without a single mention of God Quite a feat
Much mention was made of conforming to standards living up to family ideals fitting in with accepted patterns
of behavior What was said is true and valuable
But the article never came to grips with the all-imshyportant heart of the matter-why a standard from whence d I h t th t h h t I b h 1 ea s w a IS e measure agams w IC 0 pace e aVlOr
How can morals be taught without mention of God It does not seem possible Appeal to family pride or standshyards can last only so long The accepted way of acting is a
rather poor substitute for the Ten Commandments Respect ability as a motive for doing good cannot replace Our Father in Heaven
All too often writers feel that any mention of God
immediately brands their articles as unscientific or sectarshyian All too often the absence of God from articles of this type brand them as foolish and unrealistic

I Integration Prooess
This is quitepossibly due to the fact that the country for the past forty years or more hasbeen undergoi~g a process of cultural and rabal integration altogether apart from its present travail which has caused the memory of the immigrant andhis troubles to recede into the background It is difficult even for the present generation of the Catholic body to recall the tone and temper of those days before the First World War whim Catholicism was so widely idenshytified as the allegiance of the foreign-born There has been a willingness eveh an anxiety to integrate so cQmpletely as to obliterate the past

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast
When the Papal States still
Church DeveUops Despste Odds In FQlrEast
HONG KONG NC)-Misshysionary progress in the Far East reached an all-time high during the past year despite obstacles posed by comshymunismand ultranationaLism
Latest statistics reveal that a remarkable total ()f approxishymately 2121716 Baptisms reshyported during the past year brought the number of Cathoshylics to 32624699 out -of apopushylation of 1300163000 living in the countries of the Far East
Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi
India today has a Catholic population of 5168477 out of a total population of -358000000 people The 3500 Indian priests out ofa total of 5835 prie8ts in India have the assistance of practical1y middotevery country outshyside1lhe bamlDoo =tain reshyported a substantial increase in the number of converts and catechumensp1~paringfor Bapshytism
existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

WASHINGTON (NC) - Catholic ~ leaders gave their support to a National Safety Council appeal which has caushytioned Americans against another tra~ic record of unnecesshysary death and injury on streets and hfghways and in their homes during the coming Ch~lstmas and New Year holIdays
Cincinnatis Archbishop Karl J Alter chairman of the administrative board National Catholic Welfare Conference said he concurred heartily with the appeal and recommended it to the Catholic clergy and laity of- the country The-appeal was brought to his attention by George C Stewart National Safety Council executive vice president
Archbishop Alter recalled that last year the U SCatholie Bishops -issued a public stateshyment middotemphasizing that traffic safety is - not only a matter of public interest but also a moral question __
middot H wmiddotMart10 _ ork executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men and Margaret Mealey executive secretary of the National Council of Catholic Women at the suggestion of the Cincinnati prelate spearheaded a move to bring the safety apshypeal to the attention of the nations Catholic laity
Both Mr Work and Miss Mealey recommended the appeal to the millions of members of Catholic organizations affiliated with the NCCM and the NCCW The Catholic councils represent Catholic organizations which have a total membership of
nearly 20 million Catholic men and women in this country

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

Just when or how the pieces of the crib came to arrive in Rome is lost in the past Scholshyars are of the opinion they were brought to the Eternal City during the seventh century ponshytificate of Pope Theodore
In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

Hermosa pres~nted the basilica with an elaborate silver reliqushyary to contain the revered pleces of wood The top of the reliquary is surmounted by a silver Christ shychild raising his hand in blessshying
During the year the relics are locked behind doors in a sub-chapel beneath the main altar In front of the altar of this chapel is a kneeling bigger than life statue of Pope Pius IX

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Dawn of Redemption The Epistle of MiInight Mass says He gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and that he might cleanse for himself an acceptable people
The Christmas story-God becoming man and dwelling among us-is not simply the re-living of the birth of Christ in all its touching details It is not only the bringing into focus of the Divine Childs appeal to His people
The Christmas story is the celebrating_of the Redempshytion of mankind From all eternity Gods plan for mans Redemption meant the Incarnation-God becoming man From all eternity God planned to anoint mankind by uniting a human nature to His Divinity From all eternity God willed to merit salvation for the human race through a human body and a human soul joined to the Second Person of the All-Holy Trinity
Christmas is the feast of the Redemption the -feast of the King The King of Peace is exalted whose face the whole earth longs to see Lift up your heads for your redemption is near at hand These texts taken from the Christmas Mass and Office portray not a helpless Infant but the King of Ages coming in power and majesty He is a King Who does not need the trappings of vesture or surshyroundings to point up His glory-He is God manifested in the flesh the victorious Warrior Who alone can conquer completely the hold of evil over men the conquering King Who can lead men to victory over themselves and their world
Looking upon the Infant men of good will should see not only a Child but a King not only the object of their love but the One Who alone makes them lovable to God not only One of Whom the angels sang but One Who makes them sing in their own hearts that they have been made children of God through this Elder Brother Christ
Christmas is not only the feast of Christ-it is the feast of every Christians Redemption This night is born to you a Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Keep the Spirit It is no secret that some Catholics-not the majority
nor perhaps even a large number-are careless in attending Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation Tiredness earelessness lack of a sense of worship absence of good example-these are some of the reasons responsible for their not bothering
Most do make the effort to go to Mass on Christmas Day Christmas has the power to touch the souls of those who are not especially Christian in their lives and actions
But of what value is their going to Mass on Christmas if that same spirit does not carryover into the weeks and months ahead
Christ is reborn with every Mass is in the midst of His worshipping people with every Sacrifice preparing them and making them acceptable to His Father and theirs
(
And the sincerity of attendance on Christmas Day can be measured only in the light of mens efforts to worship God and be helped by Him not alone at this season but through the rest of the year as well
Morals Without God The magazine section of a large city newspaper gave
over a full page to a d~scussion of teaching morals to childshyren
Thatis of course acommendable subject and endeavor But the remarkable fact about the article is that it went
on for a good two thousand words without a single mention of God Quite a feat
Much mention was made of conforming to standards living up to family ideals fitting in with accepted patterns
of behavior What was said is true and valuable
But the article never came to grips with the all-imshyportant heart of the matter-why a standard from whence d I h t th t h h t I b h 1 ea s w a IS e measure agams w IC 0 pace e aVlOr
How can morals be taught without mention of God It does not seem possible Appeal to family pride or standshyards can last only so long The accepted way of acting is a
rather poor substitute for the Ten Commandments Respect ability as a motive for doing good cannot replace Our Father in Heaven
All too often writers feel that any mention of God
immediately brands their articles as unscientific or sectarshyian All too often the absence of God from articles of this type brand them as foolish and unrealistic

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast
When the Papal States still

Latest statistics reveal that a remarkable total ()f approxishymately 2121716 Baptisms reshyported during the past year brought the number of Cathoshylics to 32624699 out -of apopushylation of 1300163000 living in the countries of the Far East
Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi

existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered
GOD LOVE YOU to Anon for $50 Sent in honor of the Infant of Prague to EVV for $15 I had saved this for Christmas shopshyping but I feel the Missions need it most to AML for $45 The enclosed is the amount saved on my vacation by taking a bus instead 9f a plane to DK for $470 Here is a weeks salary from a boy who gets to9 much of wpat he wants-I decided- to give to the Missions
Theres a sure way to remember to add sacrifice to your prayers PrIl7 the WORLDMISSION ROSARY For a sacrifice-offering Jf $200 sent along with your request we will send you the rosary Eacli titne you finger the multi-colored beads you will think of thelanlU ill which missionaries labor for souls

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

An-ticlericalism of 1870 Affects Christmas Spirit in Romagna
BOLbGNA (NC)-The Christ shymas spirit in the Romagna reshygions of Italy has never recovshyered from the anticlerical aftershymath of the seizure ()f the Papal States
In the Civic Calendar of 1871 the Director of Schools for Romagna canceled December 25 from the feasts to be celebrated by students and substituted March las a holiday to mark the birthday of King Victor Emmanuel II the first ruler of unified Italy
This was the first expression of disrespect for the Christian traditions of Christmas in Roshymagna and Riminion the Adrishyatic coast
When the Papal States still
Church DeveUops Despste Odds In FQlrEast
HONG KONG NC)-Misshysionary progress in the Far East reached an all-time high during the past year despite obstacles posed by comshymunismand ultranationaLism
Latest statistics reveal that a remarkable total ()f approxishymately 2121716 Baptisms reshyported during the past year brought the number of Cathoshylics to 32624699 out -of apopushylation of 1300163000 living in the countries of the Far East
Convert totals in almost every country of Asia exceeded the record number of converts made the previous year
While convert work in China North Korea and North Vietshynam has temporarily ceas~d due to the blows of persecution at the hands of communist govshyernments dedicated to the anshynihilation of all religious groups
Pakistan Where the Church has enjoyed its greatest success in the conversion of Moslems reshyported nearly 8000 baptisms over the past y~ar There are now 288663 Catholics in East and West -Pakistan out of a total population middotof 78000000 There are 338 priests of whom 64 are native Pakistanis to care for these Catholics The Church here recently marked another milestone in its history with the consecration of the first Palcisshytani Archbishap Joseph Corshydeiro of Karachi
India today has a Catholic population of 5168477 out of a total population of -358000000 people The 3500 Indian priests out ofa total of 5835 prie8ts in India have the assistance of practical1y middotevery country outshyside1lhe bamlDoo =tain reshyported a substantial increase in the number of converts and catechumensp1~paringfor Bapshytism
existed Pope Pius IX was their Pontiff as well as their King The Papal States came practi shycally to an end in 1860 after years of civil strife instigated by the followers of Italian revoshylutionary Giuseppe Mazzini
At that time Romagna and sevshyeral other papal possessions passed to the house of Savoy which ruled Sardinia and Piedshymont The latter region was the birthplace of the national libershyation movement called the Risorshygimento which was directed against Hapsburg domination in northern Italy Bourbon rule in Naples and the territorial sovshyereignty of the Pope
Final unification was achieved in 1870 after Piedmontese troops had seized Rome the last remaining papal possession and made it the capital of the Kingshydom of Italy now under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel formshyer sovereign of Sardinia
Hatred Spreads Anticlerical forces availed
themselves well of the political situation Hatred for the Church for religion and for the Pope was spread widely and quickly but above all in the lands which had been subject to the Roman Pontiff In the Romagna regions Christ shy
mas still carries the anticlerical tradition which has removed the religious part leaving only the pagan elements
In fact it is difficult in this area to Ifindold families which set I1p the Christmas crib in their home as is dGne in almost every other part of Italy
It is even harder to find those artisanswho abound elsewhere in Italy who fashion the statushyettesof the middotcribalthoughthe craft of ceramics is highly deshyveloped here
Effort Fails Bnder Mussolinis fascist reshy
gime an effort was -made to splead the practioe of the Christ shymas tree but failed to succeed In all the Feast of Christmas in the Romagna still maintains a pagan character at least externshyally Its greatest feature is that whiCh makes it a day for every family rich or poor to spread the most sumptuous wnner of the year
The specialty of every Christ shymas dinner in Romagna is a soup ealledicappeHetti (little hats) a dumpling stuffed with capon meat amiddotnd floating in rich broth
It is lreciselyfor historic reasons that nG special tradition or religious folklore exists at Christmas time in Romagna Beshy
cause of this Catholic Action organizations and the clergy have sought (juringthe past 10 years or so iJlo develQP the liturgi~
character of the feast and to popularize once more the cusshytom of the Christmas crib in the home

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered
GOD LOVE YOU to Anon for $50 Sent in honor of the Infant of Prague to EVV for $15 I had saved this for Christmas shopshyping but I feel the Missions need it most to AML for $45 The enclosed is the amount saved on my vacation by taking a bus instead 9f a plane to DK for $470 Here is a weeks salary from a boy who gets to9 much of wpat he wants-I decided- to give to the Missions
Theres a sure way to remember to add sacrifice to your prayers PrIl7 the WORLDMISSION ROSARY For a sacrifice-offering Jf $200 sent along with your request we will send you the rosary Eacli titne you finger the multi-colored beads you will think of thelanlU ill which missionaries labor for souls

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

WASHINGTON (NC) - Catholic ~ leaders gave their support to a National Safety Council appeal which has caushytioned Americans against another tra~ic record of unnecesshysary death and injury on streets and hfghways and in their homes during the coming Ch~lstmas and New Year holIdays
Cincinnatis Archbishop Karl J Alter chairman of the administrative board National Catholic Welfare Conference said he concurred heartily with the appeal and recommended it to the Catholic clergy and laity of- the country The-appeal was brought to his attention by George C Stewart National Safety Council executive vice president
Archbishop Alter recalled that last year the U SCatholie Bishops -issued a public stateshyment middotemphasizing that traffic safety is - not only a matter of public interest but also a moral question __
middot H wmiddotMart10 _ ork executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men and Margaret Mealey executive secretary of the National Council of Catholic Women at the suggestion of the Cincinnati prelate spearheaded a move to bring the safety apshypeal to the attention of the nations Catholic laity
Both Mr Work and Miss Mealey recommended the appeal to the millions of members of Catholic organizations affiliated with the NCCM and the NCCW The Catholic councils represent Catholic organizations which have a total membership of
nearly 20 million Catholic men and women in this country

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to

Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

Hermosa pres~nted the basilica with an elaborate silver reliqushyary to contain the revered pleces of wood The top of the reliquary is surmounted by a silver Christ shychild raising his hand in blessshying
During the year the relics are locked behind doors in a sub-chapel beneath the main altar In front of the altar of this chapel is a kneeling bigger than life statue of Pope Pius IX

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered
GOD LOVE YOU to Anon for $50 Sent in honor of the Infant of Prague to EVV for $15 I had saved this for Christmas shopshyping but I feel the Missions need it most to AML for $45 The enclosed is the amount saved on my vacation by taking a bus instead 9f a plane to DK for $470 Here is a weeks salary from a boy who gets to9 much of wpat he wants-I decided- to give to the Missions

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

Our times are not withoutmartyrs to the seal of confessi9n In the diocese of Hengshyyang there was a priest named Father Aloysius Chang The Communists ordered him to reveal to them the confession of one of his penitents He refused saying that the knowledge was not his but Gods that the State has no control over the soul that he could not render to Caesar the things that are Gods They gave him five minutes to reconsider When he again refused they beat him to death with bamboo poles
A death of this ~ind comes very close to the death of Our Lord Who took upon Himshyself our sins ~ather Chang died because of another
It is on the Missions that we most often find examples of the martyrdom sanctity and Christ-like sacrifices of the early Church and not in our prosperous America It is on the Missions too that we see executioners Judases Pilates walking across the field of China just as they strutted about in Gethsemane and Golgotha
WheD we hear of the martyrdoms and sacrifices of the misshysionaries it makes us really feel like thirty cents That was the average each Catholic gave last year to the Holy Father for his l35001) missionaries Instead of 30c a year we Catholics could give 30c a day Why not make a New Years Resolution to sacrifice some tiny luxury each day and at the end of each month se~d it to the Holy Father for all the Missions of the world Add sacrifice to prayer aDd your prayer will be aDswered

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

ln Wold~s Smallest Republic I
SAN MARINO (NC)-ehrist shymas is celebrated here with all the warrhth arid color that have given it universal renown to the worlds oldest and smallest reshypublic
During the greater part of the year San Marino is a tourists mecca A yearly average of two million of them come to see- the quaint medieval city surrounded by Italy and perched on top of a high mountain in view of the Adriatic Sea But for most of the winter and particularly at Chrstmas time when the tourshyists are gone the Sanmarinese are left pretty much to themshyselves and the festivities take on the air of a family party
There is snow at Christmas time here The mountain top is blanketed white the brown stone spires of the ancient castle and its battlements stand bleak and cold against the wind as milky blue ribbons of smoke rise from every chimney
Build Giant Creche Signs of Christmas are in the
shop windows from the first of December There are miniature Christmas trees and crecheg in almost all of them
On Christmas Eve a giant creche is built against the huge tree that stands in Piazza Garishybaldi in the center of town The tree glows with colored flickershying lights of hundreds of bulbs The creche shows all the tradishytional figurines in a typical Ital shyian setting with a running stream ducks on a little lake and birds in the trees and bushes
December 24 is the big day for school children who look forward to it all year long Every child under 10 living in the Republic is given a gift parcel with candies and cookies and another parcel with new clothing
On the day before Christmas everyone prepares for the great event to follow Workers and peasants stop their labors early
Editor Deplores High Powered Recruiting
AKRON (NC)-Madison Av enue hucksterism has no place in recruiting young men and women for the religious life Father Frank Gartland CSC editor of Catholic Boy and a nashytional Director of the Knights of the Altar said here
In a speech t) the Serra Club an organization of Catholic layshymen devoted to promoting vocashytions he said We see pictures of young men playing tennis at the seminary as if thats all they have to do while studying for the priesthood High powered reshycruiting he said will tend to attract young people to the reli shygious life who do not really have a vocation
Leaflets films and promoshytions are good in their own way he remarked but they areless useful than exa~ples of wond~r- ful Catholic laymen living good lives as responsiblecommunity leaders and family men
in the afternoon and go to their homes
Strict abstinence is observed on Christmas Eve and nothing is eaten but pinza a special bread made for Christmas Eve accordshying to a centuries-old recipe Pinza consists of corn flour white raisins and bits of dried fig worked into a rough dough with plenty of water
It is cooked in hot wood ash In homes where gas has been installed for cooking the wood ash is prepared especially for the cooking of the pinza for no one in the Vento considers the pinza authentic if it does not have a burnt wood flavor
In the countryside around the lower Piave River this special bread is made in very large sizes and serves for the whole family anr all the relatives
It is sometimes so big that a special oven must be built to bake it and a pair of oxen are used to drag it out of the oven when it is done
The pinza is marked with a cross on top as a sign of blessing A piece is usually cut out to take to the parish priest as a token of homage from his spiritual children
Bread Symbol
According to popular tradition the pinza stands as a symbol for the bread ~aten by Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethleshyhem The origin of this tradition is lost in the early Christian censhyturies but the word pinza goes back to the time of the Roman empire Pinza or pinsa is a Venetian vernacular form of the latin panis pinsatum which means bread made of ground corn
During the afternoon of Dec 24 while grown-ups crowd to
the churchesfl)r confession the young boys of the household take the chain on which the pothangs in the 9pen fireplace and drag it along the road The dust and gravel of the road cleans the blackened chain and wiil make it shine for Christmas Day
Meanwhile the girls of the house whitewash the hearth polish the brass vases and canshydlesticks and shine the copper pots that hang in the kitchen Then they put the last finishing touches to the family creche which has been set up in a corner of the room
Night falls and the bells of the churches echo each other in the darkness while the family gathers for its meager Christ shymas Eve supper
Afterwards everyone sits around a big table to play lotto until time to leave for Midnight Mass The bells ring their last call and all rise from the table to put on their wraps
On the stroke of midnight every church is filled to a bur~tshying ppintwith the faithful vVho with the birth of the Saviour are reborn to the blessed inshyfancy of tile spIrit from the miseries and blows of daiiy life

FREIBURG (NC)-Archbishop Herman Schaeufele of Freiburg
if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

Just when or how the pieces of the crib came to arrive in Rome is lost in the past Scholshyars are of the opinion they were brought to the Eternal City during the seventh century ponshytificate of Pope Theodore
In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

Hermosa pres~nted the basilica with an elaborate silver reliqushyary to contain the revered pleces of wood The top of the reliquary is surmounted by a silver Christ shychild raising his hand in blessshying
During the year the relics are locked behind doors in a sub-chapel beneath the main altar In front of the altar of this chapel is a kneeling bigger than life statue of Pope Pius IX

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

if you are normal you have sui ficient leisure and energy to lend a helping handarourid the home provided you want to
Theres more to the problem How are you and your wife goshying to realize your unity as a couple if you dont cooperate around the home At marriage you entered a common entershyprisekeep it that way by workshying together
Further the children are yours as much as hers How are you going to train and guide them becom~ acquainted with their distinctive personalities in short fulfill your very serious obligations of fatherhood if you never help your wife with their care or spend time with them at home
Finally this view of marriage as a fifty-fifty proposition can be interpreted in many middotways Who is to define the fifty-fifty you or your wife In the Chrisshy
middottian view of marriage husband and wife are to give their all shythe best that they have Each supplies what the other lacks and thus they become true helpshymates as God planned it
Ed on your wedding day you bothmiddot accepted one -serious obli shygation to strive to make your marriage a success Dont let laziness indifferenceor preconshyce~ved notions keep you from living up to this vow What is your alternative A broken home ruined lives and only a small outside chance middotof saving your own soul

U~iquef~JmD~Y NeedsSGisis For Divi~Bon of labor
By Father John L Thomas SJ~ Assistant Professor of SociologV
St Louis University
HOW can I get mywife to see that marriage-is a fifty- fifty proposition Our marriage is in danger of breaking up because she nags me constantly about not heiping her out around the house The situation is getting intolerable for both of us I realize she has her hands full with the three youngsters but I work hard too I maintain housekeeping is her job Ill earn the living Isnt that fair enough
You know Ed this problem of division of lashybo r between the sexes has been troubling mankind for a good many centuries About the time people get things figured out fairly well conditios change and the
- problem has to be settled an over again Furthermore what works well for some couples may prove disastrous for others
Lets analyze the family situashytion before attempting a solution of yourmiddot problem First when men and women enter marriage
_they agree to work for their mutual sanctification by dedi- eating themselves to the service of new life Hence marriage involves two related purposes husband and wife vow to assist each other to advance in Gods service and they promise to acshycomplish this by cooperating in establishing a little society in which children can be generated and reared in a manner befitting Christians
When couples quarrel over the division of labor in the family experience shows they are gen~
erally basing their views on the way things were done in their parehtal homes They enter marshyriage with this definition of what husliandand wife should do and blindly insist that this is the only right way
N6w Ed if you have followed my analysis I think you will recognize that division of labor in your family cannot be based on parental patterns or abstract principles It must be defIned in tennsof your 11J1ique familys needs and geared to you and yourmiddot wifes capacities
L~ts look at your family sit shyuation If your wife has to care for t~ree small children she may well~have her hands full as you admit A great deal depends upshyon h~r strength householdfacil shyities and so on but she clearly bas a ful1time job Of course you also have your job but undfr conditions of a forty-hour week IthiIiR you must coruess

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

In the 800s the basilica was known as St Mary of the Crib and Pope Adrian I had a great altar built above the relics In the 16th century Pope Pius IV restored the altar and another Pontiff Sixtus V added a numshyber of marble reliefs celebrating the story of the nativity includshyof the Magi - The Three Wise of the Magi-The three Wise Men
The same Pope had the relics moved from the main altar to a place under the altar of the Blessed Sacrament to the right of the church

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former

The Missionary Servants of
Refugees Need Help at Once
GENEVA (NC) - A spokesman for the Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Confershyence has announced its support of an all-out effort to settle the grevious problem of the European refugees in the Far East
The spokesman Jean J Cheshynard of the CRS-NCWC headshyquarters staff in Europe spoke at a news conference here called by Dr E Chandler of the World Council of Churches president of the Standing Conference of Voluntary Agencies Working for Refugees
Mr Chenard noted that CRSshyNCWC already operates all over the world including Hong Kong with a large program for both Chinese and European refugees He declared it was standing right behind the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the Intergovernmental Commitshytee for European Migration and our fellow voluntary agencies
The three-year program for clearing up the European refshyugee situation in communist China he said is out of tune with swiftly developing events We could he added ask these refugees who have twice lost their homes in 40 years to holdshyout for another three years Howshyever under present circumshystances it is not so much a quesshytion of holding out as of possishyble extinction through starvation or forceable repatriation
The communists have finally agreed said vir Chenard to open the Bamboo Curtain for these desperate people But the Free World has imposed an Iron Curtain middotof its -wn which can
-best be called the curtain of materialism Thus far it has been mor~ difficult to pierce the lat shyter than the former
