This week the Count was buried in the Bernadotte family plot. On Bernadotte's coffin rested the Count's Red Cross cap, his Boy Scout stick, and a single white carnation. A Y.M.C.A. choir sang Bernadotte's favorite spirituals, Deep River and Steal Away to Jesus. The Lutheran pastor who delivered the funeral oration took for his text Isaiah 6: 8: "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send...
Some years ago, according to La Razon's sardonic columnist, "Buenavista," a boy and girl had a 7 p.m. date. Because they followed the time of different broadcasting stations, they failed to meet. When the girl failed to show up, the boy went home, at 7:40 (his time) blew out his brains.

Since Stepinac is the first archdiocesan high school in Westchester County, the boys commute from many towns-some of them 20 miles...
...have to compete with local loyalties," said Father Krug. "Almost none of the boys here would have been in a parochial school now if this one had not been built. A boy knows his own town and has his buddies there. Often he can look right down his block and see a first-rate high school-and he can go there free. We must offer the very best to meet that competition...
