They are all so real I suppose, and realities published always fascinate me. Respectfully yours, Jose Melchor Velasco Ed.—The Catholic Preu mutt come to grips with reality savoring the north with the salt of Christ. NEEDED: "A LITTLE SALES TALK" Ateneo de Zamboanga Zamboanga City Sir: I am very much interested in the growth of the Catholic Press and of The Cross in particular. This is an idea I have in mind and I wonder if you would agree to the proposal. Just as the Reader’s Digest has field agents and allows them a certain commission I thought of getting some of our Ateneo students to go about the city soliciting subscriptions to The Cross and The Sentinel. There must be many people who want to subscribe but never get down to writing a letter. A little sales talk might be just the thing. During recent months some Protestants have come down here and they go from house to house selling their books; I was surprised wher I learned how innocently the uninformed people bought some of the books. Then and there I thought of combattingf their work by the spread of our Catholic Press. A commission, say of 10%, ought to attract some students and their earnings would help much towards their next year's tuition. Should you agree to this proposition, would you send some blanks and maybe a testimonial card that could be filled out? My main interest is not in providing work for the students but rather to see The Cross reach out and extend its influence over so many new readers. How successful the project would be I do not know but I think it is worth the trying. With every best wish, I remain, Sincerely in Our Lord, Rev. James A. Burke, S. J. Student Counsellor *RiL, 1951 63 —Splendid, Father! We only wish there were a thousand such proposals r all over the islands.. We are willing to try anything to bring the peoce Christ to our people. Go right ahead. And God be with your boys! "TO HEAVEN—EXCLUSIVE!" P. 0. Box 1323 I am renewing my subscription—for a life-time. Why not start a “Life-Subscription" Department! Enclosed please find the sum of P50.00 as payment for a subscripto the CROSS to cover the period from May 1951 to heaven— lusivet Rev. Charles J. Beaurms -We're starting the "Life-Subscription Dept." here and now! Thanks the suggestion. "A CRATE OF BOUQUETS" Novaliches, Q. C. A crate of bouquet^ to L. M. Gonzalez for her short-story “Monsieur d the Colegialas", a toast of champagne glasses to “Mrs. O’Reilly’s" ator—that highly-competent weaver of tales who is always hiding light under a bushel. A couple of Sl-gun salutes to your editorials, .hought they packed a lot of punch. And if it were physically pos•le, please pat P. O. Morales on the back for me for his deliriously (ightful Middle Aisle It—Now Showing. Regards to the Staff.
