...many Roman Catholics, I hope, who are appalled at the shallow thinking of our Chicago brethren who became a pressure group protesting the showing of the TV film Martin Luther [Dec. 31]. If, as Catholics, we possess the truth, why do they resort to such intolerance in order to prohibit what they consider to be false from the beginning. We cannot deny the historical existence of Luther and his founding of the Protestant Church. Do Chicago Catholics fear the facts of history? I wonder if they realize how much their bigotry damages the cause of Catholicism and the fellowship...
...summertime the queen of the Alps, 15,781-ft. Mont Blanc, puts only minor difficulties in the path of those who would woo and conquer her. Each year in the climbing season some 75,000 mountaineers flock to the resort town of Chamonix to have a try at scaling her heights, and most of them succeed. But in the winter, when her steep slopes are swept by gales often reaching 100 miles an hour and the temperature drops below zero, the icy-hearted mountain becomes a fickle and merciless termagant. Few, even among expert mountain climbers, care to risk...

They are shiftless and lusty, though they seldom show this latter quality to the camera. Their chief aim is thwarting their parent's attempts to civilize them by harnessing them with jobs. They just like to drink, laugh, dance...
...Miami Beach, Fla. last week came the biggest horde of vacationers ever seen in a winter resort. The influx swamped the railroads; five extra Christmas-vacation trains put on by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line were still not enough, although three extra trains had been ample last year. Eastern Air Lines stepped up flights to 200 daily, with capacity for moving 13,800 sun seekers a day in and out of Miami, estimated an 18% traffic rise over last year...
