Bishop Bram Speaks At Deanery Meet At St. Paul’s Church was the setting for the Spring Deanery meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary. There were one hundred and fifty present, rep. resenting 14 branches of the Auxi- liary in the Miami Deanery. The Reverend Martin J. Bram, D. D., Suffragan Bishop of the Dio- cese of South Florida, addressed the afternoon session. In an inspiring talk, the Bishop stressed that an intellectual ap- proach to religion was not enough. He said that “faith involves a per- sonal relationship with God.” “Christian religion,” he said, “cannot be purchased, and this very persmal relationship is what makes religion so strengthening.” Bishop Bram said that everyone likes to boast of knowing promin- ent people, and that is it pos- sible to know God just as personal- ly and that it is a wonderful ex- perience to be on friendly terms with the creator of the Universe. He said that one learns to love God by loving him; that man acts when he wills to act and what we do determines our character. He cited the work of Alcoholics Anony-.) ™mous as an example of man’s, will to act. Bishop Bram closed by saying that accepting God_ intellectually does not make a Christian; that the act of attending church does not make a Christian; that being a “do-gooder” does not make a Christian, but that “faith involves one’s mind, heart, and physical being.” Reports from the various bran- ches present at the meeting cov- ered projects ranging from es- tablishing prayer groups, working with the Girl’s Friendly Society, | sending theological books to the | Seminaries in Japan, serving lun- cheons to civic clubs and assist- | ing in equipping ‘the rectories and parish halls, and giving altar hangings and carpeting churches. The United Thank Offering was $78.56, and a fund of $112.00 to send delegates to the Anglican Con- | vention was reported. The Fall Deanery meeting will be held at Holy Comforter in Mia- mi.

Miss Martel, “Miss Universe” last year, was sued for annulment Monday in Stockton, Calif, by Ronnie Marengo, son of a wealthy family there, who said she desert- ed him to resume her screen | career in Hollywood. | Miss Martel asked Giesler yes- terday to file a cross-complaint, asking a divorce and that the e>ce be transferred to Los Angeles.

I don’t think there is any doubt but that the man is honestly | trying to do his patriotic duty. This world isn’t ready yet for that kind of honesty and the man who tries it is likely to do more harm thsn good - especially to himself. | Remember a few years ago when | of | commotion with regard to crime | Kefauver caused quite a_ bit hroughout the nation? What good | did it do? The one thing that could put Me- Carthy’s program over would be| another Pearl Harbor. Then he would have the emotional support of the people. In the meantime, he would do better to simply keep his mouth shut and work undercover with recognized law enforcement agencies. Emergency Vehicles We've mentioned this before but without securing any results. Po- lice, ambulance, and volunteer fire | vehicles create one of the greatest hazards to life and property that exist in Key West. There is no ex-} cuse for the kind of reckless driv- ing they exhibit while making em- ergency calls. Navy ambulances are never seen tearing down the street without re- gard for others. Neither are Navy or City fire trucks guilty of this offense. I’ve printed advice from and safey specialists concerning the foolish- ness of permitting emergency ve- hicles to take the law into their | trol. own hands — all to no avail. At least twenty people have asked me} to write about it again but I'll truthfully admit that I think it is a waste of space. It looks like we're going to have to suffer some terrible tragedy before proper | steps will be taken. Remember when the plane crash off of Fort Taylor cost the lives of all aboard? Emergency vehicles, with sirens screaming, had a field urs day that time. And what did their loads consist of: Mangled limbs and dead bodies that would have | been just as dead if they had ar- rived at the hospital five hours in-| stead of five minutes after being brought to shore! School Supper Here is your chance to help Key | West schools and at the same time enjoy an economical meal. Tomor- row night, from 5:30 to 8:00 p. m., a fund raising supper will be serv- ed at the high school cafeteria. The | |money taken in will be used to| | send cafeteria employees to Talla- hassee for additional training in | food handling. | You can get tickets for this wor- |thy project at the principal’s of- | fice of any school. How about sup- porting it, huh? They are even serving coffee — something that you may not have been able to af- ford at home in a good many months, Inflation Speaking of coffee reminds me of a subject I started to mention the other day and then got side- tracked by the arrival of an in- come tax notice — inflation. There is no doubt about it but that inflation is a monster that kills goverments much more easi- ly than war does. World history proves this. We’re experiencing a rough period here in the U. S. be- cause of inflationary tendencies but there seems to be no reason for worrying that financial experts | won’t bring the problem under con- Every once in awhile you hear a Person say: “Why save money or buy government bonds? If I'd bought bonds ten years ago, I would have lost on the deal be- cause of the way the dollar has depreciated.” That’s true enough. Ten years ago, you could have bought the same for $135. that you now spend $200. to purchase. For that mat- ter, fifty years ago you could NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN TELEPHONE: Citizen Office, 2-5661 | Stretch your dollars three times as far as you can today.
