or nursing institutions where they
might live their declining years de
cently and comfortably.
A small amount of financial as
sistance was given in emergencies
to help families, although the
amount of money available for this
purpose was limited. Several fam
ilies were helped to find a place to
live, although there never seemed
to be enough houses for families
with limited incomes and especally
those with several children.
The Bureau served as a source
of information for many people re
garding community resources, so
cial security rights and welfare
arencies. A large number of per
sons received help to adjust to per
sonality difficulties within their
own families. However, the pro
gram of organized charities
chieflv concerned with the
of children.
Late in 1950, the two to six-year
old children were transferred from
Saint Ann’s Hospital and cared for
at Saint Vincent’s Orphanage. The
move proved to be a good one since
more emphasis can he placed by a
children's institution on the needs
of children than by a hospital. The
number of children in this pre
school group rose from eight to
twenty-five during the vear chiefly
because the children nf several
large families were taken under
care and because of a shortage of
family hoarding homes available
for little children.
During the year. Saint Vincent’s
cared for a total of 138 children,
while the average population of the
institution was 86. Sixty two chil
dren entered the institution during
the year and 53 left for their own
homes or for foster family homes.
Saint Ann’s Infant Home cared
for a total of 97 infants. Sixty
nine children entered and 71 chil
dren left this children's home. The

Children In Homes

A total of 503 children were help

other agencies Catholic children
who were brought before the Ju
venile Courts in the Diocese, were
represented by workers from the
Catholic Welfare Bureau and joint
plans were made with the court of

from the Bureau also worked fre

institution had an average popula
tion of 28 children.
While the children’s institutions
continued to provide the excellent
care which all of us have come to
take for granted and which bene
fits children who will be away
from home for only a short time or
who need the stabilizing influence
which only an institution can pro
vide, the program of foster family
care continued to advance. Two
hundred fifteen children received
care in foster family homes during
1951 with the average number of
children under care remaining rel
atively constant at 133. Many of
these children were the littlest chil
dren who most need the loving
care of a mother and father. Oth
ers were children who are under
care more or less permanently and
who need as normal a family life
as it is possible to give them.
Adoptions
During 1951 the Catholic Wel
fare Bureau placed 40 children into
adoptive homes. Although this was
thirteen more children than the Di
ocesan institutions and agencies
had ever placed before during any
one year, nevertheless, it failed to
fill the requests of the 111 families
who came to the Bureau during the
year asking for a child for adop
tion.
Zanesville 4nd
Muskingum County
In February, 1951, the first
branch office of the Catholic Wel
fare Bureau was opened in Zanes
ville in order to serve the people
of parishes of Muskingum County.
While the office was open only two
days a week, it enabled the staff to
give better care to the children and
the families than the office in Co
lumbus could give. A Charities
Fund Campaign was conducted in
the Zanesville parishes during May
which secured $3,136.25 of the $10,
889.77 which was spent by the Dio
cesan agencies and institutions dur
ing 1951 for the care of the chil
dren of .Muskingum County.

In Licking County, a Charities

were active in this campaign raised
$3,004.00 to care for Licking Coun

the year to secure a grant from the
Community Chest of Newark and
Licking County to help support the
child care program in the County.
Finances
The high cost nf living was a
problem for the Diocesan agencies
and institutions during 1951. The
cost of caring for a child in Saint
Ann’s was $66.52 per month on the
average, while lhe monthly cost
of caring for a child at Saint
Vincent’s was $59 24 'l he Catholic
Welfare Bureau was paying an av

Aside from the fine technical qualities of the paper and the
good coverage of Diocesan news, most important to me is the
news of the Church and the Catholic point of view expressed
within its pages. More and more I find myself reserving judgment
on anything I read in the secular press that has to do with the
Church until I read the Catholic Times version
Yesterday, when we placed our subscription icnewal in the
collection basket at St. Aloysius’ Church, we did so gladly and
not from a sense of duty alone. As for the increase in subscrip

Dear Editor:
This letter is meant to convey heartiest congratulations on
the new Catholic Times in general and the Feb. 15 issue in par
ticular. Since the change from the Register to the Times each is
sue has been just a little bit better than the last, and last week’s
issue prompted me to add my compliments to the many others I
am sure you are receiving.
I like the real newspaper format, lhe good make-up. The
quality of the half tones, especially in the Feb. 15 issue, is ex
cellent. As for reader interest, the school lunch mogram which
is so close to many of your parent-readers, must have been more
than enthusiastically received.
Very sincerely yours.

Vatican Envoy
Foreign Policy
NEW YORK (NC) Presi
dent Truman's intention to appoint
a United States ambassador to the
Holy See is a logical adjunct to
American foreign policy. It would
counteract communist propaganda
and do much to dispel doubts that
U.S. policy is aimed at securing
peace and freedom for all.
These are the views expressed
by two editors of America maga
zine'in a new pamphlet, Diplomatic
Relations with the Vatican, publish
ed here by The America Press.
Presenting the historical back
ground of the diplomacy of the
Holy See, the authors summarize
the arguments for sending an
American envoy there and analyze
the reasons for Protestant opposi
tion.
The United States, they claim, is
losing the battle for men's minds to
the communists, who are constant
ly showing up inconsistencies be
tween American words and Amer
ican actions.
In western Europe man's domi
nant desire is for peace, they main
tain. But the Reds there keep point
ing out America’s overemphasis of
the military side of its policies. In
Asia and other areas long under co
lonial domination, they continue,
the great desire is for freedom. But
America has not yet been able to
persuade colonial peoples that it
shares their hopes and will help
achieve them.
By establishing diplomatic rela
tions with the Vatican, they argue,
the United States would “go a long
way towards proving to the world
that we respect the very institution
in the West which is everywhere
identified with the tireless endeav-

or to find peaceful solutions, based
on morality and justice, to the
tensions which imperil peace.”
Discussing Protestant opposition
to diplomatic ties with the Vatican,
the authors note that its “major im
petus” seems to come from the
books of Paul Blanshard, “which
picture the Catholic Church as a
threat’ to American democracy
and even a blood brother of Soviet
imperialism.”
They cite the admission of the
Protestant National Council of the
Churches of Christ that no consti
tutional question is involved, add
ing that there would be no viola
tion of the principle of “separa
tion of Church and State.
“There is just one argument,”
they admit, “that has some political
importance. Protestant spokesmen
predict that sending an envoy will
‘disrupt American unity.’ This can
only mean one thing: if the Sen
ate confirms a Presidential nomi
nation. Protestants will never cease
making a bitter issue of it.” But,
they ask, “can we conduct our for
eign policy in this way, backing
away from actions that seem to be
in the national interest but which
will, in view of threats from re
calcitrant pressure groups, be used
to disrupt national unity?”
The booklet's authors are the
Rev. Robert C. Hartnett, S.J., edi
tor-in-chief of America and the
Catholic Mind and former director
of the political science department
of the University of Detroit, and
the Rev. Robert A. Graham, S.J.,

expert on Vatican diplomatic his
tory. Father Graham is the author
