~Easter Seals Featured Item At Rotary Luncheon Monday

_ Easter. seals and the - Re ‘habilitation Council held the spotlight at the luncheon fheet- ing of Rotary in the Charlotte- town Hotel. yesterday, high- lighted* by the purchase of the first seals in the 1959 campaign by His Honour _§Lieutenant- Governor F. Walter Hyndman from “Timm of the Island”, (Jimmie Schurman). -\A panel discussion on the Place and possibilities of the Rehabilitation Council was con- ducted by Dr. G. C. Fisher, Re- habilitation Council member in whigh other members of the council elaborated on the acti- “vities of that -body.

- Taking part were: Miss Iphi- genie Arsenatilt, commissioner, Red Cross, P. E. Esland branch, Sister Mary Henry, executive Catholic Welfare Bur- eau, Dr. Todor Gencheff, direc- tor rehabilitation centre and L. _D. MacKay who with Dr. Fisher, ‘\Mfepresents Rotary on the fin- _ ance committee of the council. ' Dr. Fisher in introducing the subject described the formation

of the council through which most of the Easter seals money. is expended ‘after other sources of help are ‘explored and fail, because of limitations, to deal with cases not provided for. “Between 15 and 20 member or- ganizations are: represented on the Rehabilitation -Gouncil along with representatives of the Government in. dealing with handicapped cases of both child- ren and adults,” Dr. Fisher said.

$7,000 GIVEN COUNCIL

L. D. MacKay in dealing with: expenditure pointed out that $7,000 had been handed over by Rotary to the’ council last year and that five cases had been dealt with that would other- wise have gone by default due to lack of funds. Amounts ex- pended on the cases referred to ranged . from . $25.00 to $2,309.00. :

“THOUGHTS FOR OUR TIME

BY HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL McGUIGAN

GOOD READING

The need for good reading geems greater today than ever before.

In previous eras, more opti- mistic than enlightened, univer- gal literacy and the easy dissem- ination of reading matter were looked upon as the solution to the world’s ills.

E No one, of course, would dispute ‘that these. goals are unqualified goods is very much questioned today, because of the results act-

Pally produced

* A glance atthe average mag- azine rack or newsstand should be enough to convince any think. ing person that cheap reading matter has created almost as many problems as it has solved; that far from freeing mankind from all that is ignoble, that very reading matter does much to keep him in subjection. =—S

This is not to say that most of what appears on the stand is evil (although much of it undoubtedly fs) but rather that the general level appezled to is very low. Our minds are being overwhelm- ed with trivialities.

To. blame the press along for this low ‘level- of appeal would be quite wrong. There is a spirit- tial decay at the heart of our cul- - ture. All. media of communica- * tions aré involved—television, ra- dio, movinz pictures. etc.

Again, there are many good tliings presented here, but rarely do they penetrate to the deeper places of our being. Apart from few specifically religidus pro-

ams or productions, there is

real, the fundamental problems

al and spiritual—i.e. religious. Religion, however, is not good commercially. Moreover, it is controversial and therefore to be avoided. mie SPIRITUAL STARVATION

The result for popular com- munications is ultimately trivial- ity. And one who relies solely upon these media for enlargement of mind and soul is faced with spiritual staryation.. He is in con- tinval danger of being crushed by the sheer weight of superficial stimuli which press upon him daily — crushed, because without a strong and lively religious sense,-he can neither- order the flux of experience nor interpret it validly. His mind is diverted with a thousand unrelated facts; his spiritual energies are dissipat- ed inva thousand different. direc- tions. 5

One of the answers to this par- ticularly modern problem is a reasonable amount of good read- ing. By good, of course, I mean spiritually rather than artistically good, for there is much that is argetically good which is, never- théless, morally debilitating. The spiritually good, on the other hand, elevates and strengthens our lives, keeps us aware of the disparity between the eternal and the transitory—in a word, puts us in teuch with God. 4

If we need any particular in- centive at this time to commence a program of good reading, it might be provided by ‘the season of Lent, with its characteristic tradition of withdrawal from the world, For withdrawal—like all forms of mortification—is not something primarily negative. It is merely denial ona lower plane of Kiving in order to live on a higher. There are other ways of reaching this higher plane— prayer being the most important —but good reading has its part to -play. Indeed, as a source of spiritwal nourishment that can- not be supplied in any other way. it has no substitute. : MUCH GOOD READING Fortunately, there ‘is much good reading available today. The very forces which have provided the modern world with so much use- less reading have also provided it with much that is good. The proportion of good may be small. but this is really the fault of the reader. In any case. there is suf- ficient for those who desire it.

The very ti of good reading brings to mind immedi- ately, of course, the Holy. Bible. On thee market today there are many good editions. of the Bible. cheap in price yet admirably translated and highly readable. This. is good reading par excel-

One should also mention the great work done by the popular- izers of Scripture themes, writers! such as Fulton Oursler and Jim’ Bishop, who have used their very considerable journalistic talents in the cause of morality asd re- ligion.

To repeat, there is good read- ing available for those who de- sire it. This desire should be considered a matter of duty. Re- ligion demands that we love God;

Capo said the lack of informa- tion on the revolution among the American public and its ‘conse- quent astonishment at the after- affects of Batista’s overthrow was not only because of incorrect repo: cing of facts but because of failure to give the full back- ground of the revolution.
