It will be an Anniversary Requiem Mass for Barbara Wissel. It was decided at the meeting of the October committee last week that they would sponsor a Mother and Daughter Communion Breakfast after the 8:30 o’clock (Mass on Sunday, October 21st. While this breakfast is being called a Mother and Daughter Communion Breakfast, the ladies would like to explain that you don’t have to have a daughter to be more than welcome to attend—and you don’t have to be a Catholic Tickets will be sold in advance, of course, so that the committee will know how many to plan for. But if you don’t get a ticket and want to come down, please do. Breakfast will be serve about 9:30, after which there will no doubt be a speaker and entertainment in keeping with the spirit of the affair Our apologies to Mrs. Lillian Reihmann in stating last week that she had moved away. We misunderstood. She will work with Mrs. Helmchen, Chairman, on this Committee. Mission Sunday is October 21st. “America will be blessed and the Kingdom of God wiU be spread in proportion as, With earnest faith, Catholics send help to those who cry to them, as America once cried to Catholics in Europe and received their generous help in the form of missionary priests and monetary aid ” “Our Divine Savior will show favor to those who favor His missioners.” We cannot all give ourselves, but we can volunteer to say a daily prayer and to give alms. We can be a perpetual member, a special or an ordinary. The daily prayers we volunteer are one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the invocation “Saint Francis Xavier pray for us”. Mrs. Doris Atkinson, President of the Altar Society, named the Nominating Committee at the regular meeting of the Society Wednesday evening. They are Mesdames Helen Riedy, Betty Meyer and Ella McCoy. These ladies will present a ticket to be voted on at the November meeting of the Society for the new officers for 1946 of the Society. Get happiness out of your work, or you will never know what real happiness is. , . , , —Nora Bray. '

Every Vet Has Stake In Legion The lot of every veteran of World War II is immeasurably better today because of the American Legion. It was the American Legion which through its efforts over 26 years built up the great structure of federal and state veterans’ legislation, the splendid government hospital systems, and the recognition that the rehabilitation of men and women physically, mentally and economically wrecked by service in war is as much a part of the cost of war as building battleships, planes and tanks.

The American Legion also established the principle of veterans’ preference in civil service jobs. The Legion’s greatest direct contribution to the fighting men and women of this war which the veterans of no other American war even dreamed about. With its vast backlog of knowledge, experience and the knowhow of accomplishing things, the American Legion is an important organization to all veterans of this war. They can do no better than take it over, lock, stock and bar-

Steele Roberts, Jr. called home last Saturday morning about 5:30 a. m., from San Diego, Calif. He said he was fine and dandy and was enjoying the good food of California—head lettuce and such. He expects to set his feet on Speedway soil in two or three weeks. But until then, it is just simply grand to be back in the States again. Recently a ' tentmate of Bob Schowaiter’s, James Kesseling, of Lynn, Ind., called on Bob’s parents. James reports that Bob is okay and has such a sun-tan that he doesn’t look natural.
