Pentagon: Most furloughed civilians ordered backBy ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press | October 06,2013WASHINGTON The Pentagon is bringing back to work at least 90 percent of the estimated 350,000 defense civilian employees who were furloughed in the partial government shutdown. The move takes a big bite out of the impact of the political impasse in Washington that has left the government without a budget.
The decision announced Saturday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is based on a Pentagon interpretation of a law called the Pay Our Military Act. That measure was passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama shortly before the partial government shutdown began Tuesday.
Republican lawmakers had complained in recent days that the Obama administration was slow to bring back those workers even though the law allowed it.
In a written statement explaining his action, Hagel said the Justice Department advised that the law does not permit a blanket recall of all Pentagon civilians. But government attorneys concluded that the law does allow the Pentagon to eliminate furloughs for employees whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members.
Hagel said he has told Pentagon officials, including leaders of the military services, to identify all employees whose activities fall under these categories. He said civilian workers should stand by for further word this weekend.
In remarks to reporters, Robert Hale, the Pentagons budget chief, said he did not yet know the exact number of civilians who would be brought back to work but that it would be 90 percent plus. He said there are about 350,000 civilians on furlough, somewhat fewer than the 400,000 that officials had previously indicated. If 90 percent were recalled that would mean 315,000 coming off furlough.
Hale said that even with this relief, the effect of the furloughs has been severe.
Weve seriously harmed civilian morale; this (recall) will be a start back, he said.
Hale said he hoped that a substantial number could be returned to work on Monday but that an exact timetable is not available.
Hagel had made clear earlier in the past week that Pentagon lawyers were trying to determine ways for some of the Defense Departments furloughed civilians to get back to work.
It does have an effect on our relationships around the world and it cuts straight to the obvious question, he told reporters traveling with him Tuesday in South Korea. Can you rely on the United States as a reliable partner to fulfill its commitments to its allies?
The law ensured that members of the military, who have remained at work throughout the shutdown, would be paid on time. It also left room for the Pentagon to keep on the job those civilians who provide support to the military.MORE IN This Just InKnife used Full StoryPLYMOUTH NOTCH — Back country beats music met the picking of banjos and guitars over the...

Hey, I can follow baseball writers on Twitter as well as the next guy. It's a good thing too! Because otherwise I wouldn't have begun to think that today would be the day to argue about the Designated Hitter! My thanks to The Week's Anna Hiatt for raising an issue that will, I hope, live forever:
Nonetheless, for fans, having to dread at bats from the number-nine slot in the lineup only to suffer through watching pitchers crouch in an awkward stance, bat dangling somewhat askew, and then feebly swinging through fastballs that they stand no chance of hitting — well, it's really one of the worst things about National League baseball.
It doesn't have to be this way. It's time for the National League to yank pitchers out of the batter's box by adopting the designated hitter rule, just as the American League did all the way back in 1973.
The DH makes games more fun. It makes baseball's growing audience even larger. And let's be honest: We're all sick of watching pitchers try (and fail) to hit.
Gosh, that's a grand claim, isn't it? That we're ALL sick of watching pitchers try (and fail) to hit?
Yes, I'm sorta sick of it. You might be too. But I'm fairly sure that if you poll Chicago Cubs fans or St. Louis Cardinals fans or San Francisco Giants fans or Pittsburgh Pirates fans, MOST of them will vote to keep those pitchers hitting. Because of course that's all they've known, and homo sapiens tend to prefer what they've known.
Quick History Lesson: The Designated Hitter was introduced in 1973 because the American League was struggling at the gate. In 1972, one American League team (Detroit) averaged more than 20,000 customers per game; five A.L. clubs didn't manage to average even 10,000 fans per game. The National League enjoyed a whopping 26-percent attendance edge over the American League. There were a number of reasons for the A.L.'s disadvantage, but one obvious issue seemed to be the hitting; in '72, scoring in the American League fell back to roughly the same level as in 1968 -- the so-called "Year of the Pitcher".
To improve attendance, the American League owners proposed two old ideas: the Designated Hitter, and Interleague Play. For both leagues. The National League rejected interleague play out of hand -- why help the American League? -- but permitted the American League to use the DH on a three-year trial basis, while rejecting the DH for itself.
Anyway, it might have worked. In 1973, American League attendance jumped 12 percent, and the National League's attendance edge dropped slightly, from 26 percent to 20 percent. In '73, only two American League clubs -- the Indians and Rangers -- failed to draw at least 10,000 customers per game.
While there were predictions, at the time, that the National League would soon follow suit and adopt the DH, it's now been 40 years and that still hasn't happened. And isn't likely to, absent a compelling argument. The National League might consider joining the American League if hitting drops off (which it has) and if attendance drops (which it has not). If you're the National League, why would you change? I can think of just one reason: because you might have a marginally better chance of keeping your pitchers healthy. Which might ultimately be compelling, but probably not anytime soon.
My preference is for the status quo. My distaste for watching pitchers (try, and usually fail to) hit is roughly balanced by my enjoyment of arguments exactly like this one.

PSQH Blog
Improving patient safety is one of the most urgent issues facing healthcare today. Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare (PSQH) is written for and by people who are involved directly in improving patient safety and the quality of care.
PSQH welcomes original submissions from all healthcare professionals on topics related to safety and quality. PSQH publishes a variety of articles, to reflect the breadth of work being done in this field: case studies, surveys, research, book or technology reviews, guest editorials, essays, and letters to the editor.
New guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommends monitoring of patients receiving opioids.
AdverseEvents' primary customers are health plans, PBMs, health systems, and hospitals. We provide these healthcare decision makers with important insight on drug safety concerns that were not revealed during clinical trials and are not being communicated by the manufacturer.
I had the radio on as I drove to the market, but I wasn't really listening until I heard "It's very important to have a culture of safety that says, if you've got a problem, talk about it." I didn't recall ever having heard the phrase "culture of safety" outside of safety improvement circles.
A recent CDC report found that 1 in 25 hospital patients develop healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). According to the report, about 75,000 of these patients die during their hospital stay.
On May 7, the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) reported on the effects of federal efforts to decrease the rates of hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) and readmissions. These efforts, implemented through a system of Hospital Engagement Networks (HENs), have been supported with funding from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), starting with grants to the HENs in October 2011.
In 2005, the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System received a report of a near miss that brought up a new issue in the nursing field. It involved a nurse who worked in two hospital facilities; one facility used yellow wristbands for limb restrictions (do not use this limb) and the other facility used them to indicate DNR (do not resuscitate). This nurse had a patient with arm restrictions. So, well-intentioned, she placed a yellow wristband on the patient's arm.
OpenNotes is a program that allows patients to read their clinicians' notes as they appear in the medical record. The program started less than five years ago and currently includes 2 million patients in health systems across the country, including the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Patient safety has been a topic of interest at the annual HIMSS conference for the 10 years that I have attended and probably longer. Safety improvement usually appears on the program and in discussion as the result or at least the goal of technology implementations.
The latest issue of Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare (PSQH) offers articles that focus on the pros and cons of information technology in healthcare, an interdisciplinary approach to managing drug shortages, new efforts to improve workplace safety for healthcare professionals, and more.
Rick Boothman has been thinking about when he knew that the University of Michigan Health System, where he is executive director of clinical safety, had reached the "point of no return" about openly discussing preventable harm with patients. In his keynote to the MITSS Annual Dinner in November, Boothman explained that he had been struck by something he heard during a meeting in Washington, which led him to reflect on Michigan's commitment to this approach.
The deadly train derailment that occurred on Dec. 1, 2013, north of New York City apparently offers another example of an industry—or at least one heavily traveled commuter line—that is ripe to learn the lessons of safety science. With Dr. Lucian Leape's discovery 25 years ago of the science of human error, healthcare began to assimilate knowledge from other disciplines and to improve safety by addressing the underlying, latent causes of error and harm. It appears that railroads would benefit from the same.
Still hunting for that perfect holiday gift for the coder on your list? This illustrated guide to weird entries in ICD-10 could be just what the, um… doctor ordered. Struck by Orca includes more than 30 ICD-10 codes for the unfortunate, often surprising things that turn people into patients, including Y92.253 Opera house as the place of occurrence of the external cause, Y93.D1 Activity, knitting and crocheting and V91.07xD Burn due to water-skis on fire, subsequent encounter.
Diane Shannon, MD, stopped practicing medicine 17 years ago and recently wrote a blog post to describe her feelings about being a doctor, her daily experience as an internist, and her decision to focus instead on medical writing.
At the opening session of the annual conference of the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM), futurist Ian Morrison described current changes in the U.S. healthcare industry and how they relate to the interests of risk managers. While the Affordable Care Act is important and the obvious driver of change, Morrison is convinced that current trends—consolidation, cost reduction, and realignment of risk—will continue, independent of the federal legislation.
From its early days in the 1980s and 90s, the patient safety movement has been blessed with high quality, accessible writing. Many of the early contributors—Michael Millenson, Bob Wachter, Atul Gawande, to name only a few—continue to contribute and update their research and reflections. Millenson and Wachter have recently commented on their earlier works and reflected on what if any progress they have seen over the years.
At this year's Quality Colloquium, multidisciplinary approaches to safety and quality improvement were discussed in many sessions, with benefits cited in the context of leadership, education, scholarship, as well as care delivery.
The medical community has debated the value of sleep versus continuity of care since 2003, when the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education limited the number of consecutive hours medical residents may be on duty. (Organizations are required to comply with the duty hour standard to retain ACGME accreditation.) Research, however, has shown that making sure resident physicians get enough rest doesn't insure safer care for patients, which was the main driver of the standard.
The operating room is one place in a hospital where things are expected to run like clockwork – it is imperative that surgical procedures start on time. When delays occur, the impact can be significant: staff and equipment are underutilized, surgeons become frustrated, patients grow (more) anxious and optimum outcomes may be placed at risk, particularly if the prior administration of medications or antibiotics had been timed to the projected start of a procedure. It is thus alarming that a recent study in JAMA Surgery found that 10 percent of surgical procedures were delayed due to a missing piece of paper – the consent form.
Farzad Mostashari, MD, ScM, announced on August 8 that he will step down from his position as national coordinator for health information technology in the fall. Mostashari first joined the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) as deputy for programs and policy in 2009 and succeeded David Blumenthal, MD, as national coordinator in April 2011. Although the previous national coordinators have also served approximately two years in the position, Mostashari's announcement caught the health IT community by surprise and prompted many accolades for his national leadership for health IT and its role in patient safety and quality improvement.
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have become part of everyday life for many of us. In the buzz around these and other social media sites that offer real-time news and discussion, we shouldn't lose sight of a useful tool that's been around for nearly 30 years. Electronic mailing lists—often referred to by the proprietary-to-generic name, Listserv™—enable communities of people with shared interests to discuss topics with a minimum of fuss, bother, and technical skills.

The story was almost Allen Craig. Again. For the second night in a row, Craig came up as a pinch-hitter in a key spot with two outs and a runner in scoring position, facing one of the hardest throwers in the game. For the second night in a row, Craig singled to right field off Alexi Ogando to put the Cardinals ahead.
But it's not time to melt down that Stan Musial statue for materials for a new statue. Craig's single gave the Cardinals their only run, and it looked like it was going to be the difference in a win against the Texas Rangers, but the Rangers mounted a furious rally in the ninth inning off the previously unhittable Jason Motte, stealing Game 2 on the road to tie the World Series at 1-1.
It was natural to expect slugfests in the World Series. It really was. The Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals had two of the best offenses in their respective leagues, and throughout the postseason, both teams have followed a similar pattern of their starting pitchers giving up runs early, with their bullpens coming in to clean up the mess for the rest of the game. It looked like a high-scoring series was possible.
But both teams also have some good starting pitching, too. They didn't show up in October with a Gashouse Gorillas roster, having scored 1000 runs in the regular season while allowing 900. Starting pitching might not be the strongest part of the Cardinals' or Rangers' roster, but it is a strength for both, relative to most of the teams in baseball.
In Game 2, both Colby Lewis and Jaime Garcia pitched as well as either team could have hoped. Garcia had the spiffier stat line, going a full seven innings, striking out seven and walking one. Lewis almost matched him, going 6⅔ innings and leaving the game while it was still a scoreless tie. He did get more than a little help from his defense, though:
That was a force out with two outs and a runner on second in the bottom of the fifth. If Rafael Furcal's grounder gets through, the Cardinals would have taken an even earlier lead. As is, it was just the best defensive play of the World Series so far.
Lewis was pulled with two outs in the seventh, though, after allowing a hit to David Freese, and a single to Nick Punto that just eluded the fall-down range of Michael Young.
The Punto single came on an 0-2 pitch that Lewis will probably replay in his head for the next 30 years. Ron Washington pulled Lewis for Ogando, and Tony La Russa countered with Allen Craig. Again. That brought up déjà vu all over again.
It was a 96-m.p.h. fastball right on the outside corner:
Craig took it to the other side for a single to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. A reminder: two seasons ago, Craig was a 24-year-old in AAA with a sub-par K/BB ratio. Now he's using a smart approach to go the other way against one of the quickest fastballs in the game.
But Craig wouldn't be the hero again. The drama in the top of the ninth inning started when Ian Kinsler blooped a single in front of the no-doubles defense and stole second with nobody out. He just made it into the bag on the steal, too.
That brought up Elvis Andrus, who singled Kinsler to third and took second when the throw home went past Albert Pujols. Tony La Russa pulled Motte for the lefty Arthur Rhodes. Or maybe Darren Oliver. The 49-year-old lefty. That guy. La Russa brought Rhodes in to face Josh Hamilton and his trick groin (woof!).
If the groin is sapping Hamilton's power, it didn't sap it enough to prevent a deep fly ball to score Kinsler. On the sac fly, Andrus took third.
Say, this is a good spot to leave this: John Dewan ranked Andrus as the second-best base runner in baseball over the last three years. Michael Young hit a sac fly on a 3-2 count. If Andrus doesn't take second and third on aggressive maneuvers, he doesn't put himself in position to score. Hamilton and Young haven't had a lot of hits in the postseason so far, but they picked a good time to make contact. The sacrifice gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead, and Neftali Feliz earned the save shortly thereafter.
The Cardinals could taste the victory. It tasted like cinnamon and unicorn fur, which tastes much better than you'd think. But in a postseason dominated by their bullpen, the Cardinals couldn't stay perfect. They'll head to Texas with a 1-1 tie, thinking about what could have been.

The man who solved so many problems for humanity was unable to ward off the hand of Death. At ten o'clock, October twenty-first, in t he White House, the occupants stood still for one minute in the dim light afforded only by the rays of the moon filtering through the shades. In that minute of dimmed lights people could realize to t he utmost what Edison did for humanity, for they could but faintly perceive the surrounding obj~ts. It was then that they understood how the world was benefited by the incandescent el~tric lamp. Besides this, Edison invented the motion picture camerll, t he phonograph and more than eleven hundred other electrical devices. It is not only hecause of the result of his labors that we honor him. His untiring energy in his youth is also well worthy of being imitated by young people of today. His life was an uphill climb; from newsboy, after losing many subsequent positions, he finally seemed to settle down as telegraph operator. But Providence smiled on the persevering Edison; his labors began to be rewarded and during his long life he saw his dreams become reality. Great men mourn for him; they all acclaim hil genius as the "Electric Wizard." Rulers all over the world cabled their solicitude during his illness. Pope Pius XI admired him as a benefactor to man_ kind. Edison believed in no specific religion, yet he was not an atheist. He believed in II Supreme Being hut in his field of science he said that he could not find "proof of immortality." We can but \lity him for the gift of light which was most denied him who had brought mater; .. l light to men . Thomas Alvah Edison died Sunday, Oetober eighteenth, 'It the age of eighty-fuor; yet he lives in the lighted ways of the world. THE GLEANER The Stamp Question We are hearing rather strong rumors to the effect that no longer will we expend only two cents for mailing a letter. Postmaster-General Wa ~ter Folger Brown has rccommended to CongrelS a new stamp of 2'h or 3 cents to meet a defi cit ;n the United States Post Office that now appl'oaches $ 100,000,000 a year. He claims that two cenh is not enough for the service of deliver:ng a lette··. In opposition to Mr. Brown, Representative Clyde Kelly of the House Committee on Postal Affairs contends t hat it is "logical that the Gove ~ nment should transport and delive,' private mail for less than cost." Congress will decide in December whether 01' not the two cent stamp will be "a t hing of the pa~t." This is another case which shows the power of a penny. One penny increase on stam\l3 to an individual mltY he of trifling importance, unless that person be an extensive correspondent; yet to a nation it means millions of dollara It is only when we realize this latter point that the :;:eal of great financiers who conjure weighty arguments pro and con on t his one cent increase, appear.'! justifiable.

Wells, one of England's most di stinguished living authors has been vociferously demand:ng that the lead;ng governments of the world, the United States, Great Britain, France, G~rmany, and Russia set up an "effective 'dictator.sh:p of prospHity' for the whole world." According to his view3, the world because of its inventions has become more compact and it should now be controlled as one "world business." Mr. Wells is often liable to overlook the other side of an argument completely. Yet, we wonder if the arrival of Premier Laval from France will not mark a I new era in the hinding of nations, and incidentally be a step toward a rational solution of world problems. C. H. '33 . What Price Education! "Learning by study must be won; 'Twas ne'er entailed from sire to son." There remain but few who today think of a college as a "place like a temple, a house of awe" where knowledge is beauty and beauty is life. To earnestly strive to inculcate this idea is our endeaVOl'; to instill a love of learning into the hearts of youth, who will _one day pass into t he shade of life, would be the fulfillment of our fondest dreams. Too often are we, who are so vitally concerned , unablc to refute the accusations made even with a pointing finger of shame. Is it true that when we think of Byron saying, "The days of our youth are the d<lYs of our glory," we thing only in terms of a care-free, joyful world in which adolescent minds need have no vital interest or toward which they need feel no obligation? We may answer negatively, and in all truth. We must dip deep and long into the wen to draw forth those essentials which constitute strength of character, which teach how to develop perseverance and to exercise common sense. We lnust and do realize that he who decides to follow the path of education assumes simultaneously a responsibility and an obligation. He becomes s moral asset to the community and a rem:nder that "education (of the right sort) is the chief defense of nations." Let us then lay a firm grasp on all the in tel!ectual opportunities that lie before us and thus be able to smile with satisfaction when we hear Shakespeare say, "Like as the waves make toward the pebbled shore So do our minutes hasten to their end."

The role of "Normil" was sung by SC8.::ci8ti, one of Italy's greate$l sopranos. Incidentally. "Norma" was l"('vived several years ago by the "Metropolitan" for Roan Ponsel1e and since then this superb singer has made the role her "piece de resistance". See_ ing and hearing Pon!\elle as "Norma" is an experience t hat no one ever could forget. A Centensry ~uch as this one makes us wonder when America wiU produce another Bemni, Verdi or P uccini. That the Dance is not being negleo::ted in Rochester is shown by t he audience that attended the Dads Humphrey-Charles Weidman Recital in Kilbour n Hall, November 2. It was a highly a)'listic and beautiful prog,'am and th(! audio ~ n ce gave an evidence of its appre· ciation by t he appbulle. November 2 marked t.he opening of the operatic season in New York. The Metropolitan opened with Verdi's beloved "La Travia· ta." based on the story " La Dame A ux Camelias" by Dumss. Ponselle was the tragic heroine. This was lhe fifth time in her ahort caretI' that this singer has had the honor of opening the Metropolitan opera season. In our humble opinion no other artiste is so well worthy of this privilege, except perhaps Lucrezia Bori. From al! reporh it was a glorious night for srtish, management and audience. We wish the company II wonderfu l season. The interest manifested by New Yorkers show8 th.t they appreciate and understand gr.nd op_ cra. They have our s incere con· gratulations on their good taate.

Ryan P,-incipal Speakel' The program was continued in the afternoon before a much larger audience : Rev. John P. Boland of Buffalo, N. Y., who acted as chair. man, cong"atulated Rochester up_ on its splendid interest in t he Conference as manifested by t he capacity attendance. Dr. J. E. Hagerty of Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, discussed "The Encyclical and Government Action". He maintained that industry has been ove,' organized, and production has not been scien tifically planned. A six-hour day and a five-day week was advo_ cated by Dr. Hagerty.

The keynote of Pope Pius' Encyclical was judged by the peaker to be found in these words: "Free competition is dead, cco· nomic dictatorship has taken its place." The Director of t he Social Action Department of the National Catholic Confere nce at Washington, D. C., Dr. John A. Ryan, was the last speaker on the afternoon program. Dr. Ryan is national!y known and the audience had anxiously looked forward to the answer he would give to "Unemployment - What Can Be Done About It!" The npplause which greeted him as he aSC(lnded the platform proved that facl. His answer was clear-cut and definite with no beating about the bush whateve,·. Dr. Ryan outlined his plan by which five billion dollars would be expended for public works; the money for such a project could be raised by issuing Federal bonds, with an interest of U%. He said that there was a posaibility 01 that plan being pre_ sented before the next Congress in the fo rm of a bill. (Dr. Ryan has ~ince been invited to present his ideas before a Senate committee.) His talk was constructive for he faced the si tuation squarely and offered a very reasonable remedy. The problem of unemployment must be sol ved immediately a nd relief muat bg soulI;ht not from the local o" ganizations, but from the Federal organizations. Dr. Ryan critici~d t he attitude of Harriet Hoock, '34. "$Ome of our noted officiala" on their lack of realism and knowl_ ~dge in dealing with the present day question of unemployment. Mary M. Moran, '33. Juniors Choose Patron Saint On Wednesday morning, the last day of Retreat, October 21, the Junior Claas chose as its patron, Saint J oseph. The dass heard Mass and l'~eived Holy Communion in a body. Miss Betty Griffin, president of the Junior Class, offered the prayer of dedication in which St. J oseph's protection in liIe and death was sol ieited; success in college undertakings petition for, and devotion promised to the most humble of saints. All the students, of course, are bound to a special remembrance of this spouse of Mary, guardian of Mary's Child, and patron of the Universal Church, and ])articularly here at Nazareth, a name which must draw His loving glance frequently and fondly u]lOn ou r College. The Juniors, however, are to be congratulated upon their wisdom in seeking his special patronage for their class. Let us not forget that Wednesday of every week ia dedicated espeeially to St. Joseph, a~ the candle burning before him on that day reminds us. Let us also hope that the example of the Juniors will bring about great increase in devotion to the protector of Naza-reth of Qld. C. H. , '33. PngcFivc The Essay Corner ON CONVERSATION Conversation is a tremcndous power in molding and influencing for good and fo r evil. Since OUI' obj~t in life is to ]Iroouce the maximum good, we have no alternative - we must cultivate, to the greatest degl'Ce which our talents permit, the art of conversing. I call conversation an al't--i Q\' truly, it is just that. Art atands fo\' selection, rejection, beauty. In tll't t here is no \'oom for carelessness, it is unknown-it does not exist. It would seem that we know comparatively litt le of the vast importance of our conversation. We are found 80 a)pallingly wanting in the realization that a mere bit of id le gossip, dropped thoughtlessly, is often the root of a ruined reputation, a broken life. We are lack_ ing in the true appreciation of the fact that a conatr uctive idea, whcn carefully placed,is often the in~pir_ ation to a life of service. How much more beautiful our conversation would be if only we wel'C juat a trifle less careless, a little more selective, if only we were mOre keen in the rej~tion of seemingly ha r miess words, which can prove so diaastrous to ourselves and to others. Matthew says, "I say unto you, that ev"ry idle word that men shall speak, they ahall render an account for it in the day of judgment. For by thy worda thou shalt be justi . fied, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Dorothy J. McGhan, '34. + - + - >1< TO THE STUDENT The students have been granted one hour each week to carryon Student Adminiatration succesafulIy. Let us make the resolution to attlend Studenh' Hour regularly, s ince it is the only place our honest opinions concerning student activities can be expressed and our problems solved. Irregular attendance means deprivation of the hour. This would neceasitate either the calling of innumerable meetings at noon or the failu re of an students to have a voice in Student government. Both altel'natives are equally distastefUl. The straight five dollar fee of last year has been abandoned. Each club will manage its own finances. P rompt payment of these dues means prompt action by the clubs. Will you not co_operate, so that t hia yeal' may be outstanding in club achievements?

J., Moderator, and Mr. Thomas Gavin, president of the Western New York Conference and prefect of the Canisius Sodality. The school opened with the Missa Recitata in the College Chapel. A welcome was extended to the delegates by the Reverend Father Eichorn, S. J., head of Canisius College. A stl"iking point brought out in his address was the analysis of the characteristics of a leader, namely, knowledge and authority, courage, virtue, and success, Mr. Thomas Gavin then showed the necessity for leaders and most of all the necessity for Catholic leaders in the world today who will choose for theil' model the great modern Leader, Christ, combating, as He, the same problems today which existed in the time of Christ, divorce, state worship, impurity, excessive wealth and wretched poverty. Father Barrett followed this with an explanation of the purpose of the Sodality, the same today as that of its founder in 1563, in a word, the inculcation of pel'sonal holiness overflowing into Catholic action. Since the Sodality is the laboratory of religion he stressed the idea of the formula of life "Ad Jesum pel' Mariam." The various committees were individually treat_ ed and discussed and valuable suggestions were offered. The afternoon was given over to speakers on t he different phases of the Sodality work, especially the apostolic work. The policy of the Mariana was presented and also of the Conference Booklet exchange project. The two great projects of the year were outlined, namely, the high school oratorical contest and the college symposium. On the whole, it was a day's work well done as everyone felt as the Conference School closed with the reci tation of the "Memorarc," M.
