ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann.Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses7:oo o’clock The Mass on Thursday morning of this week was an Anniversary High Mass for Ann Riedy, mother of Mr. Wilbur J. Riedy, at 6 o’clock. The time of the Mass Saturday morning will be at six o’clock. The card party last Sunday night was very much of a success. Mrs. Ben Althoff and Mrs. Joseph Daley, Committee Chairmen, wish to thank all the ladies on their committees, everyone, who helped in any way and all the friends of St. Christopher who came down to play cards. St. Elizabeth, the widow, Feast Day is on next Monday and Thursday is the Feast Day of St. Cecelia, VJM. Congratulations are in order for Omer and Frances (Carlsen) Scott. A nine-pound boy was born at St. Vincent Hospital November 9th. He has been named Michael Clark Scott. The mother and sor are doing fine—and so is the father. The time of the Mass on Thanksgiving will be announced at the Masses Sunday. There are an encouraging number of converts coming into the Church and a discouraging number of preverts leaving it. It has always been so from Christ’s day to this day, and most likely will always be so. We should always pray that whatever else we lose, that we must not lose the one thing necessary—our Faith. We had a very good friend several years ago—a very good woman—and that was her daily fear and prayer—that she not lose the Faith that God had given to her. The young people of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion on Sunday at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. “Let love be without pretense. Hate what is evil, hold to what is good.”—Romans 12:9. —Nora Bray.

.Oil and Mold - By GEORGE S. BENSON Brosidant of Harding College Searcy. Arkansas

APOSTLES of government ownership of business agree sometimes that private management can do better with little things. When it comes to filling prescriptions, mending shoes or making clothespins, they admit, private operators may be more efficient. Not so with the big stuff, they argue; coal, iron, oil, railroads are different. These just beg for bureaucratic bossing. The truth is that government can blunder in the operation of big industries. On the other hand, encouragement from government in seemingly profitless ventures occasionally comes to much good. Our own government made two important decisions in 1942 which illustrate the case clearly. One was a 300 million-dollar “flyer” in Arctic oil, that lost. The other had to do with penicillin. Needed PENICILLIN is a Capital drug, a mold extract that most people know less about than they do about gasoline. Some perfectly astounding cures are being worked with it, including cure of meningitis. It was discovered by an English scientist, Sir Alexander Fleming, in 1929 but production was tedious, slow and costly and consequently very few sufferers were helped by it for 13 years. By 1942, our first war year, some American capitalists had taken a hand with marked success. The product was costing S2O a bottle then, and the average patient required three bottles. Government authorities real-

The goal for the Churches of the Nazarene for Home and Foreign Missions for the year of 1945 is “A Million for Missions.” Our church desires to have a share in this offering. We plan to take our Thanksgiving offering Sunday morning, Nov. 18th. We can help reach the goal. O Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.

ized that war would create a need for it so a large market and provided capital for mass production. History will record the splendid results. Prices VOLUME production Decline started with the government’s big purchase of this successful item. Now there are 20 factories. The largest cost more than 3& million dollars but penicillin is costing less than $1 a bottle, $3 p£r treatment. Many lives have been saved and more will be. Mankind will be healthier and happier. Government encouragement of this business proved wise and beneficial. x How different was the Canol oil venture! The Army drilled wells on the Mackenzie river, built a 27 million - dollar refinery at White Horse and tied into Fairbanks, Alaska, with 1,000 miles of pipeline. Nothing was gained. Gasoline from the white elephant plant at White Horse cost 26<! a gallon. Oil companies can ship a better product there from the States for 184. The venture has been abandoned. > Canol failed to the tune of 300 million “goodbye” dollars of taxpayers’ money. Known sources of supply are better. What official, when spending public money, is cautious and thorough like a private investor is when using his own money? Never, anywhere, has government management of commerce or industry achieved the efficiency of American private management.

What Is The American Legion The American Legion is the largest and most potent veterans’ organization in the history of this nation, or any other nation. It is an organization that is clicking effectively on 13,000 cylinders, which are the loqal Posts of the organization. It has a physical valuation of more than $100,000,000. There is but one reason for the existence of the American Legion —namely, that it is first and last a service organization; service to the disabled veterans of World Wars I and II and service to the nation. Our purpose and our strength stem from the common desire on the part of the men and women who have served their nation in time of war to continue that service in peacetime. In unity there is strength. The American Legion has won, and sometimes lost some of the veterans’ battles of the past twentyfive years. And it knows that the voice-of the individual and unaffiliated veteran is unheard in the postwar shuffle. But the voices of millions of associated veterans is a mighty chorus that is heard and heeded. It is believed that the men and women in the armed forces today will appreciate the need for multiplying many times the influences and strength of their voices through the medium of membership in the American Legion. The veterans of World War II can assume their rightful roles in the high councils of each community of each state and of the nation through the agency of membership in the American Legion.

Over and above all the noteworthy programs of the American (Legion—its devotion to the cause of national security, rehabilitation of the disabled, protection of the widows and orphans; its Americanism, child welfare, community service, law

William Kapell To Appear With The Indianapolis Symphony

WILLIAM KAPELL

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Fabien Sevitzky will play its second pair of concerts at the Murat Theater on Saturday, November 17 and Sunday, November 18, at 8530 p. m. and 3 p. m. respectively. William Kapell, the young American pianist from New York City will appear with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at this time. Before he was 20 he had won three major contests, the youth contest of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Naumburg Foundation Award, and the Town Hal' Endowment Series Award. William Kapell, despite his age has already appeared with 20 American orchestras. He has played seven under Serge Koussevitzky of the Boston Symphony and openly praised by him. Last year Kapell had the honor of playing for the celebration of Dr. Koussevitzky’s 70th birthday. In January, 1944, when Kapell was first soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy, th§ conductor 'wrote an unusual personal message to Arthur Judson, Kapell’s manager. Ormandy spoke of the “great sensation” Kapell had made and called him “one of the four or five great pianist of today;” the result was a three year contract with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Mr. Kapell, who was soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra last year, is returning for his second engagement by public demand. At the November 17 and 18 concerts he will play the Brahms D Minor concerto on a program which also includes Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Reservations for either the Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon concert are available at the Murat and in the record department of H. P. Wasson and Co.
