St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses. 7:00 o’clock At the eight-thirty o’clock Mass next Sunday the men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion. A letter from the Most Rev. Archbishop was read at all the Masses last Sunday ... a letter setting out the regulations for Lent. Everyone should make a special effort to receive Holy Communion as often as possible during Lent—daily, if possible—but surely every Sunday. They should try to attend the evening services. At St. Christopher there will be sermon and Benediction at 7:30 on Wednesday evening and The Way of The Cross and Benediction on Friday evening at 7:30. Confessions will be heard after all of the evening services, as well as each morning before and after the seven o’clock daily Mass. Try to refrain from public amusements. Keep the days of abstinence and fast, those who are obliged to abstain and fast. Give alms generously. A special collection will be taken up at all the Masses next Sunday for the Indian and Negro Missions. In this collection, the money which was saved from staying away from some public amusement might be dropped. Mrs. Florence Goldey, Chairman, and Mrs. Ruth Aharen, Co-Chairman, want to thank all their committee and everyone who helped in any way toward the wonderful success of the Card Parties last Sunday. Mrs. Zada Grannon has some new, beautifully embroidered sheets and pillow cases. The Father and Son Communion Breakfast at St. Christopher will be after the 8:30 o’clock Mass on Sunday, March 20. Mayor Al Feeney will be the guest speaker. Our congratulations and best wishes to the Leaks of Clermont! It’s a boy at the Methodist Hospital—Daniel Paul he is to be called—and he weighed 8 lbs. and 7 oz. Both the baby and Helen are doing fine. Helen’s room number is A-309. Margaret Winchell was the lucky member of the Merchandise Club last week. She lives at 1038 Rosner Drive, and Mrs. Yelman is responsible for her membership. She chose the yellow damask table cloth and napkins. She owes her luck to Bobbie Lesman, because it was he who drew the capsule out of the basket which contained her name. To all members of the Altar Society post cards are to be mailed this week. If you don’t receive one, please contact some other member, Mrs. Emma Jean Rosner, President, or Mrs. Nora Bray . . . because the ladies have a big project they must put over and over quickly and they will need the cooperation of every member. “ . . . her sins, many as they are, shall be forgiven her, because she-has loved much.”—St. Lake 7:47. .

In Memoriam I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead, —she is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there, And you—Oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, — Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of her still as the same I say: She is not dead—shAis just away! (James Whitcomb Riley) In loving memory of Mrs. Hattie Ferguson. —Mrs. Ida Marvel. TIME FOR RED CROSS DRIVE!

Big Berthas Will Knock Eyes Out of Hammer’s Little Potatoes “Hammer will eat his words.” That’s coach “Bull” Anderson’s reply to “Galloping Ganz,” coach of the Leans, whose team of stalwarts will cross corns with Anderson “Fats” team on Friday, March 11, in the high school gym. “Bull” has gathered together a team of behemaths which he says will grind the Little Potatoes into small chips. According to Anderson, the local high school authorities had to put up asbestos nets in the midst of his team’s last rehearsal—burning twine from the usual cord nets set up such a smoke screen that practice had to be delayed while the fireproof nets were installed. “How that gang of little quirts figures to even give us opposition is a mystery to me,” Anderson stated during the reporter’s last interview with him. “My rebounders have their pogo sticks really limbered up,” said Anderson, “and the Little Potatoes will fry in our fat.” This great battle, a benefit for the High School Athletic Field Fund, should prove something, if only that a bunch of guys in the community think enough of the kids to risk their crazy necks to help provide a decent athletic field for “champions” to play on.

The curtain raisers to this tremendous contest will be two games between picked grade school teams. Coach Ralph Johnson has been working with these teams, which are to be coached by members of this year’s Spark Plugs and he promises some good basketball from them. We promise the highest caliber officiating for the games, too—all eggs, rocks and cabbages will have to be checked at the door, where you can buy your tickets for 50 cents. School children may obtdfii advance sale tidreis tram Mr. Thompson, high school principal, for 35 ■ cents. Let’s really turn out and support this game. Lots of fun is promised, and the proceeds go into the Athletic Field Fund. BOOST SPEEDWAY!

PEARLS sometimes get sick, spotted, and off-color. They can b 4 restored to their original beauty by returning them to the ocean waters from which they were taken. Our souls get “spotted,” and our lives “off-color”, our nerves get “like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh." Then we need immersing in the ocean of God’s love. That is the purpose of Lent. It is soul-renewing, life cleansing, mind steadying, a blessed tried true help to ChriMian, PgßeM. to. por.od tan Ash
