GEORGIA RIVERS, a delight
ful study of Georgia history
and Georgia geography, is the
collection of a series of ar
ticles from the Atlanta Jour
nal and Constitution Maga
zine. The history of the river
areas is filled with Indian
names, the influence of French
Huguenots, troubles with Span
ish Explorers, steamboats, log
rafts, mills, and ferries all
permeated with the smell of
gun powder and fish, cotton
and naval stores. Now that their
work is being accomplished by
rail and super highway, the
rivers present a dreamy pic
ture of lazy peace. But the
U. S. Army Corp of Engineers
is changing much of that with
dams and locks and plans that
have given the state acres of
water reservoir and playground
and one day will make Atlanta
a seaport!

FRONTIERS IN AMERICAN
CATHOLICISM, Walter J. Ong,
S. J., Macmillan, 1961, $1.25,
125 pp.
Reveiwed by Flannery O’Con
nor.
These six excellent essays,
reissued here in paperback, are
concerned with some of the cul
tural and ideological problems
which face American Catholi
cism today. They are consider
ed in the light of the American
Catholic’s attitude toward
Europe and his own history,
his misconceptions about the
medieval period, and his atti
tude toward technology and.
science. They seem to be ad
dressed as much to Europeans
as to Americans. Fr. Ong be
lieves that if Catholic thought
in this country is going to have
any real contact with the Ameri
can experience it needs to en
vision “a real Christian mysti
que of technology and science.”
Ever since the bogus heresy of
“Americanism”—ended by Leo
XIII’s letter to Cardinal Gib
bons—Americans have been
loth to explore the meaning
of America for Catholicism. Fr.
Ong believes that our intellec
tual contribution may be that
of explaining the social sur
face of life in the United States
—sports, luncheon, clubs, opti
mism, advertising, merchand
ising, etc.—along the lines of
phenomenological analysis. He
sees signs that there are some
American Catholic philoso
phers who are becoming inter
ested in phenomenology. These
are fine essays and should not
be missed now that they are
available at this low price.

A Different Slant
On Lenten Meals
One-third of Helen Corey’s
unusual cookbook, "The Art
of Syrian Cookery,” which
Doubleday published late last
year, is devoted to Lenten men
us and an explanation of the fasts
prescribed by the Eastern Or
thodox Catholic Church and the
Roman Catholic Church. The
section has been endorsed by
two priests in Miss Corey’s
home town, the Rev. George
Rados of the Terre Haute Or
thodox Catholic Church and the
Rt. Rev. Msgr. H. F. Winter
halter, head of the Terre Haute
Deanery of the Roman Catholic
Church.
Syrian Lenten dishes are pre
pared without meat, eggs, milk,
and cheese during all the fast
ing days, but with vegetables
and oil, giving foods an entire
ly different flavor from those
cooked in any other way. Aside
from its nutritional qualities,
oil is also a preservative, keep
ing foods fresh for days with
out spoiling. The housewife will
find many fresh ideas for tasty
Lenten meals in the pages of
“The Art of Syrian Cookery.”
For instance, as a change from

lenge.” Without this new strate
gy, he said, “we run the risk
of Soviet imperialism extending
its domination to all Latin
America, and even to the United
States.”
Gonzalo Ortiz, former Costa
Rican ambassador to the U. S.
said that "if something is not
done quickly, effectively and on
a basis of Inter-American co
operation among the peoples
and governments of the hemis
phere, I fear I must predict
that within six years half of La
tin America will be under Soviet
domination.”
"The promise of justice
which should be made to Cuba
and to all our peoples is that,
once an end is put to political
corruption and liberty is re
stored, a vigorous program will
be launched to provide efficient
methods''of work and adequate
compensation for this labor.”
Dr. De Varona said “the
Castro-communist threat is
provoking in Latin America an
alarming flight of capital and a
considerable decrease in pri
vate investments.”
Ortiz said mass media in the
U. S. give our people a wrong
picture of Latin Americans. He
said “our people want to work.”
He added it is not enough to
overthrow bad governments, but
respect for human dignity must
be established and “economic
meaning” must be given to de
mocracy "so that our peoples
can rise above the misery in
which they live.”

Make Criticism
Fair, Bishop Says
TOLEDO, Ohio, (NC)—
Americans can improve their
image in the world by avoiding
reckless criticism of govern
ment leaders, said Bishop
George J. Rehring of Toledo
at the annual meeting of the
medical staff and advisory
board of St. Vincent Hospital.
When government leaders
face "tremendous” interna
tional and national problems,
criticism should be construc
tive and well grounded, said the
Bishop.
William T. Utley, politican
scientist at the University of
Omaha, told the gathering: * ‘ For
all our alleged bungling, we
have succeeded in bringing
about a sufficient equilibrium
and stalemate in the power
struggle—a nuclear balance of
fear. We have done a fairly
good job of holding in check a
relative stalemate as far as
Soviet aggression is concern
ed.’

URBAN RENEWAL OFFICIAL
DENIES POAU CHARGES OF
UNFAIR CATHOLIC PLANS
WASHINGTON, — A Federal
official says a group active in
disputes over alleged Church-
State issues is guilty of un
warranted charges about Cath
olic involvement in urban re
newal.
Urban Renewal Commission
er William L. Slayton said the
group is Protestants and Other
Americans United for Separa
tion of Church and State,
a Washington-based organiza
tion self-described as de
fender of total Church-State
separation.
In a letter to Glenn L. Arch

POAU, Slayton said the or

Cites Value
f
Of Youth
Program
WASHINGTON, (NC)—The
administration’s youth employ
ment bill would be of particular
benefit to boys who drop out of
high school, the secretary of
the National Conference of Ca
tholic Charities told a Senate
subcommittee.
Msgr. Raymond J. Gallagher
said that under the Youth Em
ployment Act of 1963 such young
men would be able to continue
the basic learning process in
terrupted when they left school.
He testified (Feb. 28) before
the Senate subcommittee on em
ployment and manpower.
The $100 million youth em
ployment program seeks to es
tablish a 15,000 member Youth
Conservation Corps to work in 1
the countryside and a Home
Town Youth Employment Corps
of 50,000 for the towns and
cities.
“It is my conviction,” Msgr.
Gallagher told the subcom
mittee, that the provisions
of this program far from pro
posing to turn out highly skill
ed technicians, will nonetheless
turn out young men possessing
many basic skills. When the
participants in this program
have completed their tour of
duty, it is conceivable that
they will have enough know
ledge of and respect for tools,
and what they could accom
plish, to be readily em
ployable.”
Msgr. Gallagher said it is
his understanding that the pro
gram "will provide opportun
ity for a training, supervision
and living regimen that will in
clude adequate opportunity to
practice the specific religious
observances.”
"These three ingredients
seem to me,” he added, “to
be essential to character build
ing within our young people
under all circumstances of
their life.”
He said the “most signifi
cant contribution” of the pro
gram lies in "the fact that
these young men will learn to
know the dignity and the no
bility of labor.”
“They will learn to know the
sense of satisfaction that comes
from earning one’s own way,”
Msgr. Gallagher said. “They
will learn that it is prefera
ble to align themselves with
discipline and orderliness, by
choice, rather than by reluc
tant capitulation.”
of special treatment for Cath
olic churches and schools in its
monthly magazine, * 'Church and
State,” and in a pamphlet,
“Urban Take-Over.”
Expressing “concern” over
these accusations, Slayton said
they are "unwarranted on the
basis of ascertainable facts”
and may lead to misunderstand
ing of Federally assisted
renewal efforts.
Slayton said “particularly
disturbing” are POAU charges
that “through urban renewal
Roman Catholic churches ob
tain land at much less than
other developers and less than
its real value; the urban re
newal program benefits the Ro
man Catholic Church at
the expense of other religious
lay groups; and Roman Catholic
churches receive preferential
treatment from urban renewal
officials and agencies.”
“We have never discrimin
ated against any group in favor
of any other group, and, to the
best of our knowledge,
neither have local agencies pur
suing urban renewal ob
jectives,” Slayton said.
He notes that POAU charg
es of unfairness in the par
ticipation of Fordham Univer
sity, New York, and St. Louis
(Mo.) University in urban re
newal projects have been
through courts. “As you know,
the cities involved andtheFed-
eral government were upheld
in every case concerning sell
ing of urban renewal land to
these two schools/’ he said.
Slayton also noted that many
schools and churches have ben
efited from urban renewal ac
tivities in their cities. He cites
Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist
and other denominations.
Slayton’s letter has been dis
tributed across the country to
local public agencies engaged
in urban renewal. They were
told it was made available to
answer inquiries about POAU
charges.
Mississippi
Scored On
Rights Stand
WASHINGTON, (NC)—A re
port on Negroes and civil rights
in Mississippi was described in
the House of Representatives as
a “shocking report of brutali
ties and terror of Nazi regime
type.”
The description was made by
Rep. Charles C. Diggs, Jr., of
Michigan in a statement call
ing the attention to a “Report
on Mississippi” submitted to
the U.S. Commission on Civil
Rights.
The report was prepared by
a nine-member advisory com
mittee, one of 51 such com
mittees established in every
state and the District of Co
lumbia to advise the Civil Rights
Commission. Among the mem
bers of the Mississippi group
is Father Robert C. Hunter,
S.V.D., of Bay St. Louis, Miss.,
Provincial of the Society of
the Divine Word’s southern pro
vince.
In the preface to the report,
quoted by Diggs, the committee
members, all Mississippians,
say "the extent and the manner
of apparent denials of equal
protection of the Law on the
basis of color . . . has been
a profound shock to us.”

THERE’S a week yet before
St. Patrick’s Day is here but
my Irish blood has been aroused
and there's no postponing the
things I must say. So, the United
Nations has declared Ireland
“an underdeveloped nation”,
have they? Sean Lemass, Ire
land’s Prime Minister, has re
gistered his indignation and re
sentment and let me register
mine right here and now. Un
derdeveloped where and how?
Wouldn’t it be ironic if a team
of our Peace Corps workers
were to move into Ireland to put
their patriotic talents to work?
What would they do? Educate
the Irish? Long before Harvard
and Yale were even thought of
the Irish had a monopoly on
world culture. It was an Irish
monk who taught the first Eng
lishman to read and write. It is
in the capital city of Ireland
that the purest English in the
world is spoken. What in the
world could a Peace Corps teach
the Irish? Unless it be how to
succeed in business without
even trying—to accent the
tangibles rather than the intan
gibles of life. How to build up
industries which would place
ugly buildings along the peace
ful Irish ways and belch ugly
smoke into the blue Irish skies,
and, ah, there are no skies
like Irish skies.
THERE ARE those who truly
believe that Ireland needs de
veloping, that it needs to learn
the know-how of getting ahead
in a materialistic world where
the dollar counts. It isn’t enough
that she supplied the world with
missionaries, that her own pop
ulation diminished while she
sent leaders of Church and state
to every land under the sun!

the world’s market is Ireland’s
