This was said by Archbishop O'Donnell, the Co-adjutor Archbishop of Brisbane, at the opening of the 15th Annual National Council of the Young Christian Workers' Movement. He said that the Hierarchy was deeply conscious of the great work of the Y.C.W. and was grateful for the solution of problems would which, otherwise have remained unsolved. The Archbishop was welcoming over 60 delegates and observers from every state in Australia who were gathered in Brisbane for the Some delegates Council. had travelled as far as 3,000 miles to attend. His Grace continued, "In every age youth had its own peculiar problems but
today these problems are heightened and multiplied and complicated by factors whch in previous ages simply did not exist. The machine age, the space age, the nuclear age, the age of new and dangerous opportuni-

"It is precisely because you have insisted upon this priority of the apostolate in your organisation, and in doing so have sacrificedand rightly so-quantity for quality, that you have proved the effectiveness of your commission by the Church in the evangelisation of youth.

hig, Archbishops of Brisbane and the Honourable Mr. Tooth, a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. His Grace welcomed the delegates to Brisbane and
reminded them that their youth will not return and that they should use this time to the best advantage. He asked all Y.C.W. members through the Council to give good example everywhere. A telegram message was received from Father Frank Lombard, the founder of the Australian Y.C.W., who is recuperating after a serious illness. The message read: "My thoughts and prayers are with you. Many memories of other Conferences and Councils, especially 1945. (The first National Council). May your decisions for the future be made with vision, courage and generousity, so that the Australian Y.C.W. will outstrip other progress in Australia." The Council ended on Monday, Aug. 22. The Conference began on the following Tuesday and closed on the Thursday.

The world of tomorrow will be in the hands of the youth of today, to make it or break it. As to the vital import of your apostolate need I say more than that. "As an organ of Catholic Action you co-operate with the Hierarchy in its Divine Apostolate. Your responsibilty is apparent from the fact that you are the arm which the Hierarchy uses to reach out to youth. The effectiveness of the mission of the Church to youth depends, under Divine Grace, upon you. "It is vital that you should be constantly aware of this your responsibility because such awareness will be the spur to your activity.

Natives Punished For Mission Attack Five Africans have been gaoled in Nyasaland for terms ranging from four to 28 months for harassing a mission station after it had been visited by the Governor of Nyasaland, Sir Robert Armitage. The Africans ordered the missionaries to close down their school, chased girl students from the school and compelled patients, including an African woman in labour, to leave the mission hospital. The prosecution asserted
that the Africans were annoyed because the mission invited the British Governor to visit the mission, but not t h e African Nationalist leader, Dr. Hastings Banda. The Africans first pleaded not guilty, but changed their plea after the introduction of evidence by the prosecution. They knelt to ask the forgiveness of Bishop Joseph Fady, W.F., of Lilongwe. The judge said he took the Africans' change of plea and their apology to the Bishop into consideration in imposing sentence.
