Fitzpatrick,diocesan spiritual moderator,urged Catholic nursesto "make every effort possibleto become members.""The activating of four separatechapters of Catholicnurses will, we are sure,meet with the approval of thehundreds of Catholic nurseshere in the Diocese," Msgr.Fitzpatrick said."Many of these nurses areworking in non-Catholic hospitalsand have little opportunityto' meet with Catholicswith whom they discuss theirmutual problems and keeptheir Catholic outlook.NEED POINTED OUT"The Church realizes thatthey have a need for such anorganization as the Diocesancouncil of Catholic Nurses," hepointed out, "and it was forthis reason that the Bishops ofthe United States, acting in responseto the desire of the HolyFathers, set up such councilsin every diocese."BEAUTYSALON1420 S.E.

It's Ginny this timeas she begins her freshmanyear at Georgetown VisitationConvent.The strange sounds startedabout a month ago with the firstdeclention: "a, ae, ae, am, a;ae, arum, is as, is" and continuingwith the first conjugation:"o, as, at; amus, atis,ant."BASIC TRAININGTo the uninitiated listener, itmight sound quite like the"Witch Doctor" song popular afew years ago: "Ooo-a, wallawallaboom-bomba.""This?" one might ask. "Isthis modern education — in thespace age?"As a "Lady of (he RoundTable," I'd say that it certainlyis. Those oddsoundingvowels and consonents arenot "useless information."The whole thing is basic. Itis training the minds of theseyoungsters of 1959 in the elementsof the classics. Theylearn Latin, difficult as itmight seem at the beginning,and perhaps later on, Greek.Who speaks those languagesnow? Very few. It is not, howeverfor speaking purposes thatthey are going through thosegyrations. They are learning thevery fundamentals of all moddernlanguages."Why not teach them Russian?"This seems to be theprevailing question when mentionis made of learning alanguage.'DEAD' LANGUAGESCertainly, we agree, teach ourchildren Russian — and French,German, Italian, Spanish andall the rest.But, to quote Dr. MartinR. P. McGuire, head of theDepartment of Greek andLatin at The Catholic Univer-Singles ClubPlans SocialAn all-day get together formembers of the Catholic SinglesSocial Club is planned for Sunday,Nov. 15 at the RobertRichter Hotel, 3301 Collins Ave.,Miami Beach.Beginning at 11 a.m. thepool, beach and cabana areawill be available to membersand their guests and at 6 p.m.a dinner of barbecued chickenand ribs will be served.Dancing will follow in the patio.In the event of inclementweather, dinner and dancing willbe held in the hotel.Reservations are being acceptedup to Nov. 13 by CarlKochanek at FR 1-3769 andMarge Karaty, FR 3-6005.Father Robert Hostler, assistantdiocesan director of youthactivities, is the moderator.sity of America, "Greek andLatin, the so-called 'dead' languagesare the bases uponwhich the others are builf.Languages come more easilyafter the mind is trained inthe classics, a knowledge ofancient civilization acquired."So sold are we on this fthat to this day, we enjoy helpingwith Latin.I'm not kidding.Seventh time over the courseof "amb, amas, amat; amamus,.amatis, amant" we still get asense of exhilaration, when thenew scholar untangles the heretoforemuddle to find that"Femina amat" means "Thewoman loves"; that "Feminaeamant" signifies, "The womenlove."BACK SEAT FOR TVThose endings! First strugglesof a 14-year-old with distinctionof persons, gender and numberpose a problem. Now that w~' ""•at the stage of "Viri aquanequos in campo portant" (Themen carry water to the horsesin the field), things are better,though we wish sometimes thatthe writers of Latin textbookswould give just a bit more zipto their sentences.Fortunately, the real instructionis given in school bytrained teachers. AH that isleft for us Knights and Ladiesof the Round Table is seeingto it that what was learnedis applied, that translationsare done carefully since asingle letter misplaced canmean the difference betweenright and being completely outin left field.Sometimes, of course, we finda youthful ear cocked to a tele-,vision program being enjoyed inthe other room by several whohave "amo,- amas, amat-ed"years ago.Recently, we have notedthat the TV is becoming moreoften mentally blocked out asour embryonic classicist becomesmore absorbed in hertask.She is finding, as freshmenbefore her (some of the*-' *have found, a definite atttion about the subject. Perhaps,the logic of it? The almostmathematical precision? The"puzzle" angle?Whatever — Russian canwait. Right now, we of theRound Table are content withLatin.Card Party ScheduledBy St. Coleman ClubPOMPANO SHORES — Anotherin a series of monthlycard parties sponsored by theCatholic Woman's Club of St.Coleman's parish will be heldMonday, Nov. 9 at Silver Th?Inn. /Dessert, coffee and an afternoonof bridge and canasta willbegin at 11:30 a.m.Mrs. Gaetano LoPresti is acceptingreservations atLogan 4r3831.20 THE VOICE Miami, Ha.
