and the juniors’ greeting
was "hi.” Sophomores’ and

"hello” and "How do you
do?” Respectively.
The activities included
lunch-hour changes in or-
der to mix the classes and
class competition in volley
ball games. In an assembly

Texas Official Cites K. of C. Action
Temple, Texas —
(Special) — Recent actions
of the Knights of Colum-
bus Sypreme Council are
both "heartening and chal-
lenging” to the Order’s
32,000 members in Texas.
This is the opinion ex-
pressed hy Willard H.
Green of Temple, head of
the Catholic men’s frater-
nal organization in the
state, who added that:
"The Supreme Council’s
swing toward youth and
procedural modernization is
most stimulating. Further-
more, we are most heart-
ened by the clear-cut rul-
ing placing our member-
ship solidly behind the
Pope, our Bishops, our loy-
al priests and our devoted
laity, despite all the criti-
cal discussion. regarding
birth control and other
issues.”
Green was referring to
elimination by the
200,000-member interna-
tional society of a require-
ment that new members,
18 to 26 years old, must
purchase , life insurance
from the fraternal organi-
zation, and1 also to the
adoption by the Supreme
Council of a resolution
pledging rigid adherence to
tiie Dastoral direction of
the Pope and his Bishops
in matters of faith and
morals.
"Abolition of the insur-
ance rule means we must
redouble our efforts to en-
roll youngsters in the Or-
der,” Green continued.
"And all of us Texans at
the conclave were grateful
the Supreme Council once
again unanimously ap-
proved all decrees of Pope
Paul and our Catholic hi-
erarchy.
"In the Texas jurisdiction
we arc extremely fortunate
that now, for the first
time, we hold a vital key
to implementation of all of
the Order’s programs in
that we are publishing a
monthly bulletin, The
Texas Knight, which will
go into the homes of each
individual member of our
200 Councils.”
Green further asserted
that, as resolutions adopted
at Anaheim, Calif., are
spelled out for individuals
and councils, they will be
relayed to Texas members
in The Texas Knight,
whose publication became
possible when the State
Council retired the debt on
its state headquarters in
Austin.
He pointed out the order,
often called the "strong
right arm of the Church.”

times — "not in haste and

studied steps, while contin-
uing to serve our pastors
and Bishops with sincere
dedication.”
"The Supreme Council
decisions.” Greer, said,
"will invigorate Texas pro-
grams already blueprinted
and in progress. We shall
continue to utilize our en-
ergies and enthusiasm to
update our fraternal organ-
ization and help shape so-
ciety in the communities
in which we live.”
The leader of the Texas
K. of C. disclosed the dele-
gation to the Supreme
Council meeting "heartily
endorsed” other actions,
including:
Strong opposition to pro-
posed statutes providing
tax funds for birth control;
Commending Bishops for
their patience and fore-
bear a nee in the midst of
critical attacks on them
and the Pontiff:
Earnestly praying for a
just peace in Vietnam:
Opposing any legislation
liberalizing abortion: and.
Urging sound govern-
ment implementation of
programs designed to help
the poor and provide equal
opportunity for all in the
areas of education, job-
holding and housing.
