A columnist never knows when
his readers are going to take ex
ception to something he has writ
ten, and it. often happens that a
more or less insignificant or care
less use of a certain phrase will
cause offense.
For instance: Tuesday’s column
was a simple discript ion of an
automobile ride, and the author
was tripped up by a reader on the
use of “unadulterated” as applied
to nature.
In direct reply to the reader,
women since time immemorial
have used cosmetics. Cleopatra, we
are told, although a most beauti
ful woman, still used cosmetics al
most to excess. Modern women
have come to feel almost undressed
without a dash of powder and a
smear of lipstick. One can, I sup
pose, call this procedure “adulter
ing nature.”
In my enthusiasm over the na
tural beauty of mountains, streams,
untamed animals and lonely roads,
it did not occur to me that any one
might confuse my thought with
the decoration of the human being.
Does the letter writer imply that a
little man-made adornment could
possibly improve the scenery? Or
is she saying that women would
he more attractive without the ad
dition of cosmetics?
It does seem to me to be a per
fectly logical thing to be able to
admire and glory in natural scenery
without actually living in its midst.
Every person has reasons, economic
or otherwise, for his choice of a
home. Indeed it may be possible
that city dwellers, whether in
apartment, hotel or house, derive a
keener enjoyment from the occa
sional day in the country, where
they can dream of some day being
able to live always in the midst of
“unadulterated nature.”

Catholic In formation
"But Catholics Go to Church Because They Have to!"
Yes, we have to. The Church
commands that we assist at Mass
58 times a year—52 Sundays and
six week-days which are special
Feasts known as Holy Days of
Obligation. But to intimate that
Catholics go ONLY because they
have to is as unjust as it is un
true. This is not a mere statement.
It is a fact which you can prove
to yourself in an easy and inter
esting manner.
If you happen to be in the viciiv
ity of any Catholic Church, large
or small, urban or suburban, on a
T h u r s d a y afternon or evening
which immediately precedes the
first Friday of any month, step in
through the door and look about.
You'll be a m a z e d to find the
church thronged with people —
some waiting in line along the
sides, some praying in pews, some
leaving, others coming in.
What are all these people doing
on a Thursday afternoon? They are
taking time off from the rest that
their night shift has earned them,
from their shopping, or from their
pleasures, to go to Confession so
that they may receive Holy Com
munion at Mass on the following
morning, which is the First Friday
of the month.
Do these people have to do this?
Not a bit of it! Just once a year is
the Church’s requirement for Con
fession and Communion. Yet in
nearly every Catholic parish in the
land these same crowds are going
to church on ? Thursday and Fri
day every month, freely, willingly,
lovingly—as they do many other
uncommanded things — for the
honor and glory of God.
The Church gives each Catholic
his foundation—the correct foun
dation, but only a foundation. How
well he builds on that foundation
depends upon the individual and
the grace of God.
