1, Page 8 on Madison Center By Daryi Natz Joiirnnl-Timrs Stajj The last, three months have meant more than just a vacation from classes or time for an outside job to a group of 50 students at St. Catherine's High School. Each of the 50 volunteered! one to five hours a week to! help Racine's handicapped, its senior citizens, its sick or its children, I Some assisted nurses and ran errands at St. Mary's Hospital while others entertained the residents at Racine County Hospital and Home or helped handicapped patients there al mealtime. Help in Nursery Several of the students! looked after children at Familyj Service's nursery school, occasionally taking the youngsters for walks or to the Zoo.

At Curative Workshop, a few cut up rags which handicapped persons used for weaving. Others changed linens and; cle.ined the whirlpool health' baths at the workshop. Some of the girls worked for their parish churches. The youths who gave their time to these projects are members of St. Catherine's High' School Sodality, a Catholic organization designed to build the students' character through' this type of work.

Builds Confidence Without exception, the students feel that their weekly contacts with the various cies and hospitals has them gain self confidence and an understanding of other persons' problems. For some of these boys girls, the time spent on theirj project has helped them plan a' career. Bonnie Jackson, a junior who wants to become a nurse, worked at St. Mary's Hospital. Ann Angel, whose ambition is to be a physical therapist, volunteered her time at the Curative Workshop.

Connie Recupero. also a junior, explained that her workj with the women at the Home has helped prepare her- for social work after high I school. The program prompts the youths "to think of others rather than just themselves," remarked Sister M. Lucy, O.P., moderator of the Sodality. The nun believes the program invaluable in training students to accept responsibilities and toj mature.

One of the five boys who worked with handicapped and mental patients at County Hospital called his work "a real challenge." A Smile and Hello Sue Howe, who spent one or two hours a' week with the elderly women at the County Home, found that "a smile and a cheery hello" were all the girls needed to break the ice with the women. To the elderly women at the home, the St. Catherine's girls soon became "the girls from town." The Sodality's project was begun in the summer of 1959 when several students worked! at St. Mary's Hospital, Family Service and Curative Workshop. This year the program was expanded through the efforts of Sister Lucy and five other nuns who lead Sodality activities Sister Consolata, Sister Francis Mary, Sister Elizabeth, Sister Joanette and Sister Reginald.

Louise Palermo, prefect of the girls' Sodality, said her classmates are highly enthusiastic over the program, and Children at Family Service's nursei-y school were entertained by Kathleen Thielen, seated at table, 2924 Wright and Barbara Botsch, standing.

Meany Calls on Government to Play Bigger Role in Economy WASHINGTON The nation's top labor union leader Saturday called for more government guidance of the American economy. "Labor," George Meany, AFL-CIO president, said, "believes that economic stagnation represents as great a threat to our national security as Communist aggression.

We do not agree with the contention that the only initiative for economic growth must come from private sources. "There can be no justifica-' tion, in. our opinion, for exposing the well-being of our, people to haphazard cycles of boom and bust. "On the contrary, we are convinced that the government has a fundamental responsibility for maintaining steady economic progress to see to it that the wheels of factories are kept turning, that enough jobs are created for our constantly growing population Western Big 3 Assails East Berlin Travel Ban BONN, Germans have no business ambassadors of the Big Three whatsoever in interferring with Western powers Saturday nightl air travel over the corridors called the East German Com-'from East Germany to West munist partial ban on travel ml Berlin.

"The folly of a do-nothing government policy has become painfully evident in chronically high unemployment, in staggering foor surpluses, in the depressed areas of our country, in the shortage of schools for our children, in the lack of decent housing, in the slums that breed disease and juvenile delinquency, and in the blichted industrial areas of our cities. Rebuttal by Mitchell "These are the areas where the government can act effectively. By doing so, it will stimulate the entire economy." A statement by Sec.

of Labor James P. Mitchell defended the state of the economy, which Mitchell said is now e.xceeding an annual value of over a half trillion dollars a year. Mitchell cited record employment, personal income and home ownership in America. "Truly," the secretary said, "Americans have reached a remarkable level of well-being." But he added that labor and management must devise new ways of meeting mutual problems, such as those related to technological change, uneconomical work practices, division of productivity gains, and the impact of foreign competition.
