The business of promoting the

for a short time last Sunday to
discuss the proposed swimming
pool for Seward. Several repre

1 some financial assistance would be

ticipated results of the committee.
Don't forget the Sunday meet

Another bicycle rack will be
built to supplement the one built
last week, Chief of Police Leo

placing their bikes in the rack
when in the business district, but
the new rack just isn’s big enough
for all of them.

Sometimes when one gets fed up
with immediate surroundings it is
well to look around and see how
other people live.
The Cradle Rocker had occasion
to be in Anchorage a few days
this week and it was such a boost
to morale that you might enjoy
reading some comparisons.
The first and foremost topic is
the water. We complain about our
drinking water, but. folks, we are
top o' the world by comparison.
No wonder the people over there
drink anything and everything but
water! 1 didn't touch a drop for
three days.
Next is the telephone. In one
office it took 15 minutes by actual
clock measurement to get the op
erator, and then she sounded so
weary that one felt guilty for hav
ing annoyed her. The operators
must be cruelly overworked. I shall
never complain about Seward ser
vice, we still have them all beat.
The streets are dustier than ours,
believe it or not. There are more >
of them from which to raise a 1
cloud over the city.
People are waiting in lines to
get hotel rooms and I heard of
three women sleeping on tables.
One also waits in line at lunch
counters, reminiscent of war days.
There are many pleasant items to
be chronicled about Anchorage, es
pecially the pleasant, interesting
and hospitable people one meets
in the course of a few days.
I can see no reason why there
should not be a friendly inter
change of experiences between the
two cities, altho I did not meet
many persons who have visited
Seward It may be that we have not
made Anchorage residents aware
of the attractions in Seward, al
though a few of them were ex
tolled while I was there.
“Dear, what’s the difference be
tween friendship and love?’
“Oil, about fifteen thousand a
year, I'd say.”

Catholic In formation
"Dominus Vobiscum!"
It is in Chungking of a Sunday
morning. The Catholic church in
which I kneel is crowded with a
cosmopolitan congregation. A Chi
nese priest is saying the Mass in
an undertone. His voice comes to
us, even in the front pews, as a
mere mumble, so that we cannot
recognize the language he is using.
But suddenly he turns to the peo
ple and says in clear audible tones:
‘‘Dominus vobiscum."
"Dominus vobiscum.” How famil
iar and home-like these words of
blessing! Sunday after Sunday I
have heard them in my hometown
church—in Catholic churches in
Europe, Asia, Africa, South Amer
ica and Australia.
No Latin scholar, I; but here in
my little double-column prayer
book I have the Mass prayers in
Latin in one column of each page
and in the other column the exact
translation in my native tongue.
“Dominus vobiscum”—'‘the Lord
be with you!” So with the help
of these and the few other Latin
words which the priest says aloud,
I am able to check my place in the
prayer book and thus follow
through the entire Mass with the
Chinese priest,- just ,as readily as
I can with my good pastor at
home. Surely then the Latin of
the Mass is of advantage to the
Catholic who travels, and just as
surely of no disadvantage to him
who stays at home.
Latin, a language known by
nearly all cultured people in the
long centuries of Christianity, was
adopted by the Western Church as
the logical language for the sacred
liturgy. Latin, now a dead lan
guage—unchanging and unchange-,
able—is indeed the logical lan- |
guage for the Church, which has !
ever been unchanging and un- !
changeable in its basic worship and
teachings.
The few Latin words audible at j
Mass soon become familiar and ■
understood by even the child who i
reads his prayer book. The two !
Latin words from the Mass used ,
in this little article, we believe and I
hope, are now familiar to you, so i
that you will understand when we
most sincerely say to each of our !
readers: “Dominus vobiscum!”
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
