' POINTS FROM LETTERS Unfortunately Phrased There has been from time

to the some correspondence regarding launching a Daily Catholic Worker. I do not know any of the technical difficulties in starting a newspaper, nor the actual cost. But the Daily Worker is run and financed by its dupes-and it's a striking indictment of the low mentality of the masses of the people in this country, that such a rag could find so large a circulation. What is to stop Catholics doing the same ? If there is anything. however small, we, as a Council cf the Knights of St. Columba could do to further this most pressing need, how glad we would be to have the opportunity of doing it.-B, M.

For some time now the Theatre has been gaining ground towards the rehabilitation to popularity as a means of providing entertainment and putting over items of social and educational value.
It is because of this, and also that I wish to see a wider interest than ever before taken in the Theatre, that I desire to start a " TheatreLovers Association," the aims In idly being, to encourage new playwrights to produce their work, to arrange lectures, talks, etc., for members, to endeavour to bring the " stage " to the remoter towns and villages of Britain, where there is little or no entertainment, to exchange views between theatre-lovers, to get " outsiders " interested in the theatre and attempt to convey to them the art and work that is in progress behind the " scenes." Furthermore, to set up an "Information Section " to deal with all queries concerned with the stage, and a members' lending library dealing with the Theatre in general. If any of your readers are interested and wish to help me start a branch of the T.L.A. in London, I will be pleased to hear from them. -ARMAND GEORGES, 78, Hereford Road. Bayswater, London, W.2.
The Legion I can hardly think of a better organisation than the Legion of Mary to do the work suggested by your correspondent, Peter Anson, in his article on the Reconversion of the English Countryside, which appeared in your issue of November 12, 1948. Described by many Church authorities throughout the world, as the nearest approach to the ideal of Catholic Action as fostered by the Holy Father, the Legion of Mary hat definitely proved its universal adaptability.JOE DE MARTINO, 30, lsouard Street, Slime.
