We were all sorry to learn of the automobile accident of the Ronald Gales of Beeler Street. Mrs. Gales is suffering with a broken heel and probably will be laid up at home for some time. Mr. Gales was severely bruised, as was their, daughter Bernadett. Their new car was demolished. To those who are concerned about our school starting a little late this year, we wish to advise that Father Lindemann has assured us that the time lost this Fall will be made up before the end of this school year. St. Christopher cooks are headed for the Hall of Fame if wide distribution means anything as their recipes included in the COOK BOOK, “Tops in Food,” are going far and wide—to different parts of California, Michigan, Washington, D.C. and many points south. The Mass on Friday morning was at six o’clock—a High Mass offered by the Chadwick family. Spiritual Vitamin for September—“ Mother of love, of sorrow, and of mercy, pray for us.”
