2 ww TY Or =~ eR Yd dl yw TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1968 ® An Editorial For instance Not too long ago a big blue- chip industry erected a fac- tory at the east edge of the borough. It was relatively little known to Mount Joy people, for it does not pro- duce a well-known, national- ly-recognized product. National-Standard produces millions of pounds of wire which go into the manufac. ture of thousands of other products, some of which are very well known. But very few, if any local people, knew enough about National- Standard to have bought stock in the company. It wasn’t that they did not have faith in the company. It was simply a matter of not knowing about the com- pany. But, National-Standard is big enpugh, strong enough and important enough that its common stock is traded on the New York Stock Ex- change. When N-C came to Mount Joy, there were local people who began to understand the nature of the business and discovered that the leader- ship is strong, aggressive and objective. They discovered that the stock ownership might be advantageous. ‘ And, their new interest, new knowledge and their fi- nancial faith in the company have paid them handsomely. ~ Since National-Standard be- gan production in Mount Joy (not necessarily because) the company has had one stock split, another has been .voted, and the value on the market continues to climb rapidly. ~ This editorial is in no way a recommendation or an en- couragement to buy National- Standard (or any other stock) because each man must make up his own mind where and how he invests his money. " But, we are pointing out that ALL business in a com- munity is important to the community and the devious ways that business becomes a benefit to the community is hard to trace and to know. The most obvious advan- tage to a community is the payroll a new company or business pumps into the ec- onomy every waak and every year. Yet, here is a solid exam- ple of how new enterprise is definite, traceable and im- portant despite a rather far dissociated from the payroll. @ Lctiter to the Editor November 23, '68 Editor, Mount Joy Bulletin, Dear Sir: In your last week’s editor- ial, discussing a recent notor- ious marriage, you asked ‘the important question’’, Quote: “What is the position of the Catholic Church re- garding the marriage and what is her (the Catholic in- volved) status with the Church?” As Catholic priest and pas- tor and therefore profession- ally aware of the Catholic Church’s almost 2000 year old teaching in the matter (which teaching remains the same today), I would like to answer your question. The position of the Church is that this marriage is in- valid, and that, as ‘a conse- quence of this, the Catholic party is not permitted to re- ceive the sacraments of the Church. The reason for the invalidity is that the other party to the marriage was al- ready involved in a valid marriage, his first wife still living. If it could be estab- lished that this first marriage according to the rules of the Church had been invalid null from the beginning, then the present marriage could be recognized. Many people seem to be looking toward Rome for an official statement regarding this marriage. However, il has not been and is not the custom of the Church to make an official statement regarding the validity or in- validity of a particular mar- riage, unless the parties themselves request such an official declaration, and then it is made only to the parties concerned. The law is there, and Catholics should be and usually are aware of the con- EE sequences of violating it. In concluding, I want to thank you for your tribute to the consistent moral teach- ings and dogmas of the Cath- olic Church. It is true that, as you say, ‘“‘—in 1968, Rome is under siege from several quarters’, indeed, even from within. However, looking back through history and at the terrible conflicts and be- trayals the Church has faced and overcome, Catholics are confident that the abiding presence of Christ in His Church will bring her thru the present turmoil as con- sistent and strong as ever. Very sincerely yours, Frederick J. Vaughn |Pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Mt. Joy.)
