His far reaching and articulate mind had awakenedthe worlds of scholarship, statesmanship and science to the powerof Catholic thought. His diplo- •>macy had piloted the Church,not unscathed but whole andvigorous, through storms ofantireligious and specificallyanti-Catholic totalitarianism.IMMENSE VOIDTo a world that had scarcelyheard of the Cardinal-PatriarchLOUIS E MILLERPLUMBING CO.EST. 1930WATER HEATER* S S£^ C EPhones: HI 8-9912 and HI 6-14144102 Loguna St. Coral GablesMiami Transit Co.The Miami Beach Railway Co.Offers.. 5-Way• DUAL 8TOPPING ACTIONat a braking .touch the twin treadssqueegee instantly ... give shorter,straight-line stops in any weather• NYOBN OORD STRENGTHstrongest cord ever used in tires.Here's maximum protectionagainst blowouts and impactbreaks» STRATA-SEAL.PUNOTURB PROTBOTION 'with sandwich type sealant, theDual 90 seals punctures as it rolls.. . er/ds worries about nighttimeflats and roadside repairs• HIOHSPEED STABILITYtwin-treads like two tires on eachwheel share tire load evenly.

Whatever his respectfor recent custom —seven out of the last 10 popeshad chosen the name Pius —he reached back to the MiddleAges to select a name indisuse for seven centuries.Pope John XXIII immediate-— With More Safety FeaturesThan Any Other Tire!THEGENERAL TIRE OF MIAMIj 5600 Biscayne Blvd.* PL 1-8564THE GENERAL TIRE OF MIAMI BEACH, INC.1801 Alton Rd., Miami Beach, Flo. • JE 8-5396THE GENERAL TIRE OF CORAL GABLES301 Giralda Ave., Across from the Bus Terminal, C.

"But the pope is pope,the good shepherd, who seeksways of reaching souls andspreading truth."SWIFT, BOLD STROKESWithin weeks of his electionPope John Was oneof the mostnewsworthy men in the world.The first acts of his reign, vigorousand imaginative, were theenvy and admiration of publicrelations men from Madison Avenueto Red Square. These actsdrew in swift, bold strokes thepicture of a thoroughly goodman, brimming over with humanityand glowing with charity.Journalists had immediatelycontrasted Pius XII's aristocraticlineage with PopeJohn's peasant stock. Thenew Pope remarked at hisfirst general audience that hewas "a farmer's son who hasnever felt humiliated or embarrassedbecause of his humbleorigin."Newspapers published photosof the Pope's farmer brothers,with their weather beateh facesand rustic Sunday clothing,present in a place of honor athis coronation.ELECTRIFYING EFFECTThe Pope's frequent visits tothe poor and underprivileged,the sick and prisoners had anelectrifying effect on the world.The effect was enhanced whenspontaneous acts of kindnesswhich the Pope had tried tokeep secret found their way intoprint.The Pope, for instance, officiatedat the wedding of aman who as a youth in Istanbulhad regularly served hisMass when he was a Vaticandiplomat there. The Pontiffasked that the gesture notbe publicized, but as it turnedout the bride was a journalist.'Then there was the story ofthe Pope's return from a visitto poor boys cared for by theVatican. A Vatican employeetold the Pope that his invalidwife would be watching for hisreturn from the window of hersickroom. Would the Pope giveher his blessing as he passed?On the spot the Pope, declaredhe would visit her, and up theBICYCLE• SALES• TIRES• REPAIRSGarden SuppliesFertilizerInsecticidesGREEDSPOTVisiting the unfortunate is a task Pope John XXIII has assumedin addition to his regular duties.

The audience was unprecedented.Pope John orderedthat all Vatican City parentswith more than four childrenshould be supplied with Christmaspresents for their children.REDUCES AUDIENCESAlthough the Pope felt obligedby the press of officialbusiness to reduce the numberof private and special audiences,he increased the number ofweekly general audiences totwo. When smaller audienceswere scheduled, the Pope oftenreceived his visitors in the VaticanGardens or in any placethat struck his fancy as fittingor congenial. At his audienceshe would often read an addressprepared for him, but on morethan one occasion he went on tomake an impromptu speech ofhis own.In his impromptu talks thePope frequently turned to subjectsthat seemed especiallynear his heart: the necessityof prayer and discipline, thejoys of family life, the powerof Christian meekness, thecoming ecumenical councilPL 4-5111HARDWARE10800 N.E. 6th AVE.and Christian unity, the obligationof all Christians to honorthe Mother of Christ.He proved himself an indefatigablestoryteller. His storieswere always veined with gentlehumor, often revealing a humanedelight at mild rascalityand the little weakness"* of humannature. He reco i withevident relish his experiencewith a roguish Neopolitan taxidriver who persisted in callinghim "Excellency" despite thefact that he was a young priest,and who took him a long androundabout way to his destinationdespite his promise of agenerous tip.GENTLE BANTERAt a general audience in St.Peter's the Pope gently banteredwith a phalanx of nuns whohad made their way throughthe crowd of 10,000 to the frontof the basilica. He welcomedthem and noted that they are"always so quiet in the convent,but when they go out they arefull of enthusiasm and are alwaysfound right up in front."To establish more directcontact with pilgrims fromvarious nations the Pope sethimself the task of learningEnglish, Spanish and German..His English teacher is Msgr.Thomas Ryan, whose broguespeaks for his Irish birth.Some wags forecast that thePope would be greeting Englishspeakingpilgrims with, "Surenow it's foine to see ye, whoare come with we' ~posedheart within these por,. .,."DE GAULLE RECEIVEDAmong the heads of state receivedby Pope John during thefirst year of his pontificate wasFrench President Charles deGaulle. The president's visit recalledto many a genuine triumphof Pope John's diplomacy,when as Apostolic Nuncio topost war France he restoredcordial relations between thatnation and the Holy See.Rome's Gregorian Universityreminded the Pope of hispriestly diplomacy when hewas given a silver ceremonialcandlestick, or "bugia" by theuniversity. The university recalleda promise he h \adein 1934 when he left »..^ diplomaticpost in Bulgaria for anew assignment: "Wherever Imay be, even if it is at theend of the world, there willalways be a lighted candle inmy window for the wandererwho may pass in front of myhouse."Page 14 THE VOICE Miami, Fla.
