Yesterday the proverbial last,
' straw presented itself on my {
I desk in the form of a letter from |
| a good friend requesting a do- j
! nation to a most worthy cause, j
We Americans are well known
to be the most generous, great
est softies, most prodigal and j
most given to the “keeping up:
'with the Joneses” of any people)
in the world. We have more j
“causes” on a national scale
than you can shake a stick at. I
Every one of them is good and '
worthy. But the time has come
for me when I have to call a
halt somewhere.
In the small city, one’s friends
are always representing some,
fund or other, and unfortunately'
most of them come in the spring
of the year. If one turns down a
friend who has been selected j
for his enthusiasm and ability to
produce in a fund raising, he
feels hurt if you don’t respond
with a dollar or so just because
you are his friend, and his is a
worthy cause.
Speaking personally, my ex
penses have increased while my
income has shrunken until the
two simply will not meet, and
doubtless there are others in the
same boat.
So where docs one begin to
cut? Usually it is the grocery
bill which gets the first scrutiny.
Am I buying extravagantly?
Well, let’s see. Here's an item
we can do without, there is an- j
other that is mighty pleasant, j
but not absolutely necessary.
And so it goes. But try as you
will, there is not much differ-1
ence in tiie total picture. Some-j
thing else has to be cut, and so j
far as 1 can see, I shall have to
decide upon certain worthy
causes to support, and not try;
to keep up with the whole coun-1
try by contributing to them all. '
This, then, is my reason, j
Friends, for contributing to;
some, and refusing others. I just
plain don’t have the money!
The Great White Father in
Washington has stated that “we
must give until it hurts.” Well, j
Father, you apparently have no'
idea of how much it has hurt j
already. Scientists tell us that a j
hurt is pain, that severe pain i
causes unconsciousness, which j
is a blessed unawareness of
pain. Maybe when we reach that 1
stage we can give it all and
MORE ABOUT.
AVIATION SAFETY
• Continued from Page 1>
Power.
In days of old, the “Air
Pocket” was the pilot’s refuge
when he clobbered up. During
the aeronautically enlightened
mid-1920’s, we realized how
corny the “Air-Pocket” was, so
we called it a down-draft, and
have continued ever since to
seek refuge in it.
Maybe, it’s a fine alibi be
tween a pilot and his friends
who know no better, but the
costliness of it all occurs when
the pilot believes it himself.
Then he is not prepared to avoid
similar accidents.
"Air Pockets?"
Two different pilots (who re
ported the wind as five miles
an hour) “hit a down-draft,” as
they were climbing to cross
over a hill, had no room to turn,
and stopped abruptly in the
trees.
One more pilot did the same
tiling in a reported 15 mile an
hour wind. In order to prove
his point, he did it twice in the
same place within two weeks,
completely ruining two air
planes, and is, himself, still un
dergoing a major overhaul.
Comment: When an airplane
is approaching a hill and is
below the top of the hill, the
closer the airplane gets to the
hill, the higher the apparent
horizon gets. A stall may easily
develop.
Aciion: Get the nose down
whenever the airplane starts
settling. Always leave room to
make a 180 degree turn in a
descending path.
(To be continued)
never know the difference.
Now when I make my contri
bution (until it hurts) to him
this month, that is the last for
a while, and all those worthy
causes which will follow are
just out of luck. Why, I can’t
even watch the calendar for the
Manana ice dates this year!
In planning a career, pick
something you like and have the
ability for* rather than the
amount of money it pays.

(la * h if Hr I i i form a l i on
"Ever a virgin?" What say the Gospels?
Mary, the Mother of Jesus
Christ* was a virgin throughout
her life.
This is an article of faith
which every Catholic must be
lieve because it is one of God's
truths revealed through Scrip
ture and through Tradition.
Now Tradition comes to us by
word of mouth and by written
word, that is. the writings of
the early Fathers. As both are
Gods revelations, they cannot
conflict.
But aren't there conflicts? For,
instance, was Mary always a
virgin? “Yes,” says tradition, |
But don't both Matthew and,
Mark contradict this when they I
tell us of the “brethren of the i
Lord”?
“Brethren of the Lord,” sure-;
ly; but if this means blood- j
brothers, then how about other i
texts? For instance, the Scrip
tures plainly imply that these
brethren were older than Jesus.
If blood-brothers, then Mary
must have had children before |
Jesus. Then Jesus was not born
S of a virgin. Then St. Luke’s1
! famous first chapter is entirely j
askew. I
; Again, if Jesus had blood-!
i brothers, why is He so frequent
ly called the “son of Mary”— i
only lie? If He had blood-broth
I ers why did He not, when dying
on the Cross, confide His Blessed
Mother to one of them rather
than to St. John who was the
son of Zebedee and Salome?
And so we become entirely
confused—until the scholars tell
us that the Hebrew term for
“brethren” did not necessarily
mean blood-brothers. Here in
brief is their explanation:
In the Hebrew and Aramaic
(in which our Lord spoke) there
was no exclusive word for,
“cousin.” The word “Ah” could,!
and often did, mean brother,
cousin, uncle, nephew, or even
member of the same tribe, as
so often used in the Old Testa
ment. It is translating the word
“Ah” as “Brethren,” and under- \
standing it to mean blood broth
ers, that causes the seeming con
flict. Take it to mean “cousins”
or merely “relatives” and the
Catholic dogma of the perpetual
virginity of Our Blessed Lady
remains unscathed.
Remember that the Apostles'
preached and taught by word
of-mouth for at least six years
before St. Matthew started to
write the first Gospel. Remem
ber. that the civilized world of
the day was converted to Chris
tianity before the Church had
gathered together and declared
inspired these writings now
known as the New Testament.
Remember that it was the great
St. Augustine of Hippo who
wrote in the fifth century: “For
myself, I would not believe the
Gospel unless the authority of
the Catholic Church moved me
thereto.”
It it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
