Birth Control
Plan in India
AGRA, India (NC)
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru has dectared that birth
control is a pre-requisite for
India’s economic progress.
Mr. Nehru told a public
meeting here that family
planning was “absolutely es
sential” to ensure a decent
standard of living to the
people.
He said that all efforts to solve
the problem of unemployment
would come to nothing if the pop
ulation continued to increase at
a rapid rate. It will not be pos
sible. Mr. Nehru added, to raise
the rate of national savings in In
dia unless the increase in popula
tion is stopped.
Mr. Nehru’s remarks were pre
ceded by a pro-birth control
speech by the governor of Uttar
Pradesh province, K. M. Munshi.
Ho spoke at the annual session
of the Indian science congress
here.
Mr. Munshi calculated that by
1987 the world would reach what
he described as the explosion
point in population. He said that
birth control on a mass scale was
one of the courses open to meet
the danger and criticized “relig
ious prejudices” against birth
control.

Your Di men Help Her Breathe
A specially trained nurse at St. Joseph' Hospital, Omaha,
Nebr., fits a chest respirator onto a young victim of bulbar
polio, who has just finished her "free” time in the rocking-bed,
the motion of which permits breathing for periods without other
artificial help. "Breath less” patients at St. Joseph's have re
ceived over $200,000 from the National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, the March of Dimes campaign and activities at the
hospital are co-ordinated with the medical school at Creighton
University.
OMAHA (NC) Nebraska’s first complete respira
tory rehabilitation center for victims of bulbar or spinal
polio, one of only 14 such centers in the United States, is
located here in St Joseph’s Hospital. It is staffed by phy
sicians and surgeons from Creighton Vniversitv School of
Medicine, co-educational school conducted by the Society of
Jesus.
Dr. Harold N. Nou, director
of the center, who helped to
found it, credits thr National
Foundation for Infantile Par
alysis for generous financial aid
for equipment, srtaff and educa
tional research, some $200,000
“over and above the cost of
patients’ care.” Ixical “March of
Dimes charities underwrite
most of the daily cost of $25 to
to $30 for each patient. Dr. Neu
declared, hut the remaining por
tion comes from the national
foundation grants.
Some 80 full-time end pert
time specielists and volunteer
workers staff "The Rehab Cen
ter" in the 600-bed St. Jos
eph Hospital, Nebraska's larg
est. There is a section devot
ed to special equipment for
breathing, testing, lifting,
walking and coughing. It is
said to be the only rehabilita
tion center of its kind in a
Catholic hospital, or operated
in conjunction with a Catholic
medical school.
Patients come here from as
far away as Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and New Mexico, although most
of the guests are from nearby
areas. Severely disabled victims
cf polio arrive in a variety of
iron lungs and chest lungs,
hoping* the “rehab” center will
build up their breathing capac
ity
“It’s cheaper for everybody
when a man can breathe alone
T.» make one breath less person
ahlr to breathe independently
msy cost a thousand dollars, but
i”s a bargain,” comments Dr.
Neu.
Parents Offer Guides
For Social Conduct of
Catholic Teen-Agers
CLEVELAND A parent-youth guide designed to pro
vide standards for the social conduct of Catholic teen-agers
was distributed here on the Feast of the Holv Family at a
Holy Hour for Catholic families in Cleveland’s West Dean
ery parishes.
Monsignor Joseph E. Schieder, director of the Youth
Department, National Catholic
Welfare Conference, preached at
the Holy Hour.
The guide came out of a study
and survey made by Holy Name
Society members, who questioned
5.5(H) parents and teen-agers in
families on all economic levels.
The survey showed the Barents
were solid'y against alcohol at
teen-age parties. They agreed that
night clubs and bars were “out
of bounds” for teen-agers, and
that all parties of high school
age youths should have chaper
ones.
The parents set 10:30 p. m. as
curfew time for ninth graders
11 p. m. for tenth and eleventh
graders, and midnight for high
school seniors. Most of the par
ents were for "group dating"
up to the senior years. They
expressed isapprp va I of
“steady" dating during high
school.
The teen-agers, who gave their
opinions at meetings separate
from the parents, were found in
many instances to agree with the
answers given by the parents.
Areas of greatest difference be
tween parents and youth concern
ed the question of spending mon
ey and use of the family car.
Father John J. Hilkert, moder
ator for the (’leveland West
Deanery, said the guide was not
intended “to infringe upon the
sanctity of the individual home
Preparation of the guide was part
of a Catholic Action program
started by the Holy Name So
ciety.
Following the Holy Hour here,
teams of parents called upon fam
ilies within their respective par
ishes. explained the code and

American Family Is Weaker
Today,- Archbishop Declares
BOSTON (NC) The American home has lost its ancient functions one by one,
Boston's Archbishop Richard Cushing told members of the Massachusetts State Circle
of the Daughters of Isabella at a lucheon here.
Under stresses from many directions, he noted, the family has been losing its cohes-
family life, through shifts in pop
ulation rising costs and the caus
ing of unrest and worry Military
training and general uncertainty,
he said, have made many marriag
es come too early loo late, and
be childless or unstable Young
men and women have left their
homes and been placed in the
"highly dubious environment of
the rookie's life.”
Another enemy of the family is
“the modern concept of what con
stitute* the pleasures of the good
life. Archbishop Cushing said.
The extraordinary prosperity
in our day brings people out of
their homes. rather than back to
them Entertainment, recreation
and diversion are sought outside,
rather than inside the family cir
cle,’’ he said.
The "moral softness" arising
from this cult of creature com
forts is behind such plagues on
the family as contraception and
divorce, he said. While such
forces are weakening the fam
ily, "we find the State acquir
ing a fllse strength, making it
compete with the home on ev
ery level and finally absorbing
the rights, the functions and
the influence of the family."
Religion and the home are
closely bound together the Arch
bishop *tated. He said: The home
depends upon religion for inspira
tion. for guidance, for vitality.
But religion depends upon the
home for the achievement of its
own principal objective*, the
*anctification of individual souls,
the 'piritualizing of society the
teaching of God eternal will for
men and for nations. \Tie than
the pulpit or classroom, far more
than religious organizations nr
conventions of this kind, the
home is the school of lehgion and
the family is religion’s most ef
fective channel foi teaching
It is also necessary that young
couples prepare themselve* for
parenthood and the raising of
children, just as they would pre
pare for career* a* engineers, doc­
tors or lawyers, he said. And (he
state, particularly in its schools,
must recognize the primary rights
and responsibilities of parents, he
added.
And even with the aid of
schools, he added, the parents,
especially mothers, must always
be the principal teachers of their
children, and much more besides.
