“Magnificent Project
I think our campaign for the

project. It certainly is the most
practical plan to satisfy our cur

Many of us should investigate
thoroughly the income tax pro

which will make it possible for
many to give even a larger gift
than first contemplated, keeping
always in mind that we should be
thinking in terms of how much we

“It Is Now Our
Turn
a a a
I know that not many of us ever
stopped and asked ourselves this
question: “Who built the school in
which I was educated?” Or per
haps: “Who built the Church in
which I worship?”
These questions aren’t real pos
ers. They are easily answerable
and these answers provide consid
erable food for thought. The
school in which you were educated
and the church where you receive
the Sacraments likely were built
by the sacrifices and labors of your
fathers and grandfathers, some
times at a real sacrifice.
They were built in a time when
incomes were much, much lower
than they are today, when the dif
ficulties to surmount were so much
greater. They built for us their
children.
Is it not clear that it is now our
turn?

and past the brick wall at Main
Street. I can never forget that
night so many years ago and how
beautiful and inviting the world
seemed to me, a boy of 13 years
and a ward of an orphanage! I saw
the bright lights in the real homes
—the real homes for children with
parents—and my heart quickened.
Surely Main Street would be the
avenue to a fortune and a com
fortable life!
“About a half mile from the or
phanage I came to tracks of the
old Scioto Valley Railroad. A
freigh train was standing on the
line, building up steam, and a box
car door was ajar. 1 pulled myself
into the hoxcar and hid in a dark
corner. But a brakeman found
me and made me climb down. He
said I was a tramp kid and ought
to go home to momma. 1 was too
frightened to tell him my mother
was dead.
“I was numb with cold and cry
ing bittarly as I walked the length
of the train. That was when I
bumped into the conductor, a
laughing, friendly, Irish fellow.
'Hey, kid. What're you doin'* out
on a night like this?' he boomed.
“1 told him my story. But he
seemed to listen most intently when
I told him I had a married sister
in Petersburg, Ohio. Finally he
said, ‘All right, son. 1 had a hard
Ide. too, vhen I was a kid. Climb
on board the caboose.’
“Soon the train was moving. 1
crawled up into the cupola wheie
the conductor sat. and watched the
engine's single light cut into the
night and over the drifts of snow.
Once I saw i timber wolf beside
a ravine.
“Sitting in the dark, jogging
past unfamiliar landscape, I be
came lonesome and really felt like
crying. My conscience was bother
ing me and I knew the Sisters
would be alarmed because of my
disappearance. Even though 1 re
nnnded myself that all I wanted
was a chance tn earn my own keep,
I was ashamed. I hid in a closet
so the conductor wouldn’t hear me
crying. I was almost panic strick
en when the train pulled into Iron
ton. i left the caboose in a rush,
as. if the hiss of steam were eon
science itself.
“From Ironton. 1 made my way
to that day. I was sick
with hunger and nearly frozen, but
a man, a stranger, guessed at least
a part of my situation. He told me
to wait outside a saloon while he
brought me food.
“I saw the sawdust on the floor
and heard the man inside the
saloon laughing, but presently he
came out with a large hain sand
wich. I think he meant to give me
money, too. But I was afraid he
would ask questions, so I grabbed
the sandwich and ran before he
had a chance to hold me.

THE CATHOLIC TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1953
Distributing St. Anthony’s Bread
Typical of a scene that will be reenacted in several churches Saturday, June 13, in the Columbus
Diocese is the scene pictured above. Saturday is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua, the day on
which Italian members of the community receive St. Anthony's bread. Shown distributing the bread to
some of his parishioners is Msgr. Anthony Schlernitzauer, pastor of St. Peter's church, Columbus. Kneel
ing at the altar rail, left to right, are Mrs. Fred Signoracci, Mrs. Joseph Zito, Mrs. Dominic Augustine,
Mr. Joseph Piecoro and Mr. David DeMotillo. The altar boy assisting Monsignor Schlernitzauer is
Raymond Marchi. The custom commemorates the charity of St. Anthony, who during his life, took spe
cial interest in the needs of the poor. The custom will also be observed in St. John the Baptist church
and St Dominic's church.
s ‘Home’ Fund Drive
“The next day I was still broke
and hungry. 1 inquired about work
and was told that practically every
body in the town was employed at
a lumber mill. I learned that the
boss always walked to work dow n a
certain street at a certain time. I
got a good description of him and
waited behind a bush. When he
came along, head down, immersed
in thought, 1 popped up from the
bush, saying. ’My name’s Andrew
Kopp. I’m 13 years old, strong and
healthy, and I want to go to work
for you.’
"This made the boss laugh. He
asked questions and said finally,
'All right, kid. Report at the mill.'
I was paid four cents an hour
and put to work in the lathe de
partment. But the lessons I learn
ed at the orphanage helped me
along in life and I was promoted
to bill clerk before my fifteenth
birthday! By then I was boarding
with a fine, wholesome family, pay
ing my own way and making all
manner of plans for the future.
One of my plans was more like a
dream: someday I would return
to the orphanage and help needy
children with a gift. I have re
mained a staunch Catholic and tot
day I still believe God bid me to
help motherless children.
“When word came to me at my
home in Huntington that money
was needed for a new orphanage
1 said to myself ‘God has been
good to me. It is my turn now to
give aid to those children.’
“And God has been good to v
For 1 have reared three fine chil
dren of my own and am blessed
with eight grandchildren. I know'
that God wishes all of us w ho have
received His help to return the
blessings by aiding unfortunate
people.
"That's why I am present at the
orphanage today. Before my God
I am responding to a duty."
e
And that is Mr. Kopp’s real life
story, minus some vital statistics
that he didn’t bother to throw in.
He didn’t tell, for instance, that
he is vice-president in charge of
operations of the W. M. Ritter
Lumber Company, a Columbus
firm or that he is a dean of
American lumber men and has
the respect and admiration of him
her men throughout the nation He
chose not to mention that he was
president of a railroad company,
although he stole a ride on a
freight as a kid He never once ex
plained that he was managing gi
gantic lumber mills at a time when
most lads his age were not dry be
hind the ears.
But he declared firmly that just
going down Main Street was not
the real avenue to success.
What he said was: "I owe ev
erything I have achieved to the
training I got at the orphanage.
Proper training was the true ave
nue to success."

op of the Columbus Diocese to
you,” the Bishop said in his letter.
“I am charged with the spiritual
welfare of you and your children,
to do the utmost in my power to
make certain that each locality in
this Diocese has adequate facili
ties for the worship of God to
care and provide a home for those
children who are deprived of a
parents’ loving care to offer the
opportunity of a religious school
ing which emphasizes the eternal
life while not minimizing the pres
ent and which teaches us not only
how to live but. what is far more
important, how to die.”
He continued: “If statistics are
needed to emphasize the need of
additional high schools in Greater
Columbus, they are available. At
the present time our secondary
schools are filled to capacity with
2,400 students. Within the next 10
years the enrollment in Catholic
high schools will reach 5,000.
“Since high school education is
a costly operation it is necessary
that needless duplication of ex
pensive facilities be avoided. The
most economical long range plan
for all the parishes would be the
construction of three central high
schools to accommodate 800-900
boys and girls.
“The schools will not all be
built at once because financially it
would be impossible and it would
be wasteful ol present facilities.
Construction of the first building
will begin this summer and will
be completed in 1955. The second
■eh'jol should be open in 1957 and
the third by I1.’,?). Each school will
be so de. ig.ied and constructed
that it will serve as an excellent
Catholic Community Center for the
surrounding parishes.
“In planning these schools it has
been our desire to proceed eco
nomically. Men experienced
school planning testify that we
have planned wisely and that full
value of every dollar is being real
ized.
“Your sacrifice will help to pro
duce the necessary works of Chris
tian education and charity which
will stand as glorious and effec
tive monuments to the Faith in
this last growing metropolitan
area. We will all have a warjn, in
ner satisfaction that we were a
part ol this splendid project. We
will feel honored that we. of this
generation, recognized out obliga
tion to pass on the Faith in our
Blessed Saviour to this and suc
ceeding generations.”

Inquiries I
As Result Of
Ad Campaign
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NO
Enrollments for religious instruc
tion resulting from advertisements
sponsored by the Knights of Co
lumbus, have shown a “marked in
crease”, it has been announced
here.
During the month of March
alone, the 1953 enrollment figure
was given a boost with ah alltimt
monthly high of 4,515.
Since its beginnings, the adver
tising campaign has brought a to
tal of 1.230,990 inquiries as of May
1 with over 111.460 persons event
ually requesting a complete course
of instruction which the K. of C.
offers by mail.
The instructions are now going
to people in Israel. Korea, Japan,
South America, Sweden, Tito’s
Yugoslavia, and other countries
throughout the .world. An inquiry
once came from Russia but in the
last year no other letters have
seeped through the Iron Curtain.
The ads are carried in Columbus
regularly by the Columbus Dis
patch and Columbus Citizen. The
series began in the January 13 is
sue of the Dispatch this year. The
program was inaugurated with the
advice and consent of Bishop
Ready.
Although replies to the ads are
sent to the Supreme Council, an
indication of the response from
the state was received this year
when the Supreme Council’s ad
dress was inadvertently left off one
of the ads. That week. 59 replies
were received here in Columbus
from throughout the entire state.
The cost of the program is borne
locally through appeals to Catholic
organizations, special donors and
bv members of the two local coun
cils. 400 and 2898. Co-chairmen of
the committee in charge of the lo
cal fund raising are Paul Lynch
of Council 400 and William J.
Finneran of Council 2898.
Top state for inquiries in the
U.S. was New York with 101.246.
But Californians were first when
it came to following through on
instructions with 9.606 enrollments
out of 94,204 inquiries. New York
had 9.395 enrollments.
Ontario, Canada, with 23,237 in
quiries and 3.319 enrollments, leads
all places outside the U.S. Four
teen new inquiries from Is
rael brought totals there to 27, of
whom seven have signed for in
struction. Pagan India and Ceylon
with 5,165 inquiries and 481 en
rollments topped the Philippines
by a narrow margin.
The K. of C. also noted the in
creased use by priests and misson
aries of the pamphlets which fol
low up the advertisements. Re
quests have come from chaplains
in Korea, prison chaplains, and
catechists throughout America.

German Youth
Urged To Build
United Europe
AUGSBURG, Bavaria—(NC)—A
lasting union of Europe can be
safely built only upon a Christian
basis, and German’s Catholic youth
must remember that they are not
only Germans but also Europeans.
This reminder was given by
many prominent speakers to 10.000
Catholic boys and girls who came
here from all parts of Western
Germany to attend the first gener
al rally of group leaders of the
League of German Catholic Youth.
His Eminence Josef Cardinal
Wendel. Archbishop of Munich
and Freising, called upon Ger
many’s young Catholics to become
“bearers of light.” If it is a fact
that economic issues divide the
peoples of Europe, he said, then
we must become all the firmer in
the conviction that a European
union, “if it is to be achieved at
all, must have Christ as its founda
tion.”
Heini Koeppler, leader of the
Youth League, declared that Ger
many’s Catholic youth, while re
fraining from any false enthusi
asm, is aware of its duty to help
in building up and protecting a
democratic Germany. In a refer
ence to plans for German armed
forces as part of the European
Defense Community, he said: “We
know that we have to make sacri
fices if conditions require it.” Ger
many’s Catholic youth sees in a
united Europe the best hope for
the future, he said. It does not
close the eyes in the face of reali
ties and difficulties but seeks to
overcome them with “the ardor of
young hearts.”
The Protestant youth organiza
tion of Germany sent a message
of greetings to the meeting.

Father Otto Mauer of Vienna,
head of Austria’s Catholic Action,
counseled against the erroneous
notion to expect Europe's salva
tion from the rule of “Chris
tian dictators.” Warning against
“dreams of power.” he said that
the process must begin at the bot
tom. with the winning of individu
al souls and then continue, through
democratic methods, to the re
Chrisianization of Europe. Calling
for courageous hearts, Father
Mauer said that only the courage
of Faith can ensure the future of
Europe.
