SEPTEMBER, l965, was a month ot strife and ot war, but it was also a month of peace. Pope Paul Vl, the Modern Apostle ot Peace, made another in his series ot historic visits, this time to the United States, tor a special message to the United Nations General Assem- bly. We Catholics are proud ot our Pope, tor he is a special man among men, he is a man whose purpose in lite is not to destroy, but to build, not to ruin, but to assist, not to seek wars, but to establish peace. It is in this spirit that our Holy Father came to America, anol it is in this spirit that we at Menard look toward the tuturefvvith an open heart and faith in our fellow man, and in God.
