S. Catholic Press. Bishop Gorman said it "strode ahead in the last year to a record circulation of 22.629.394 —a gain of more than a million and a half.” In all, he added, there were 128 newspapers and 433 magazines. Bishop Gorman said it was a crowded and steadily growing “news year.” The activities of the Pope and the Vatican "continued to be a source of a great volume of news of high importance’ Catholic news on the internation al level continued to increase in amount and interest, and there was Catholic news in great vol ume and variety on the domestic scene. Citing an example of the Cath olic Press in action, the Episco pal Chairman said News Service stories had brought about a quick correction of “an obnoxious and also a dangerous situation” relat ing to the sale of indecent litera ture in armed forces PXs over seas. He also reported that the News Service “has provided more copy to bring out the spurious ness of the ‘new’ communist ‘look’ than has any news agency.” The Bishop said too that the serv ice has “stepped up” the use of "outside” writers expert in their fields to write on unusual events. Varied Activity In Education Scores of projects carried out under a dozen different classifica tions were reported by the NCWC Department of Education, reflect ing a year of intense and varied activity- Bishop Matthew F. Brady nf Manchester. N II episcopal chair man of the department, told his fellow bishops that the works of the department fell under one or more of these general divisions: To direct, assist and encour age projects and prrgrams to synthesize Catholic principles of education with a practical and efficient school program that meets commonly accepted standards of professional excel lence. To stimulate and assist Catho lic schools to participate in civic and community enterprises for the purpose of making Catholic education an integral part of American life. To promote a sense of spiritual and professional solidarity in the Catholic school system by serv ing as a central clearing house of information and service through out the United States.

And according to Archbishop Leo Bin/, ol Dubuque, this trend is perhaps, more marked in the National Council ol Catholic Xoiith than in any other youth movement. Archbishop i n z, Episcopal chairman of the NCWC Youth Department, said in his annual report that various lay and clergy leaders of youth are beginning to realize that youth organizations must be designed not merely for protecting young people from had environments but also for prepar in ihem to correct their environ nients when necessary. The Youth Council, the report added, is preparing young peo ple to take their place in society as adults hy means of its pro gram ol spiritual, social, cultural and physical activities, with em phasis on the spiritual. The particularly spiritual aim of th council was brought out during the Youth Week ol 1955, the report noted.

It also dealt with such special CCD activities as institutes for priests, summer CCD leadership courses. CCD training courses for th lay apostolatc. publications, regional meetings and congresses.

It said there were “steady streams" of refugees from behind both barriers. The report noted that the Refu gee Act of 1953 expires in De cembcr. 1956. and that without passage of new Federal legisla tion. refugee immigration in 1957 will be confined to those eligible under the Immigration and Na tinnality Act (McCarran Walter Act), which does not have strong provisions for bringing large numbers of persons into this country.
