By LOUIS CASSKIiJ United I'restt Staff t'orrespomteiit WASHINGTON, (UP) The Roman Catholic Chuirh has fig ures to indicate a steady member ship gain in the American South a resolutely Protestant area forj more than three centuries. The nunilber,of Catholics in the su-ealled 'Bible Belt" is sttfl quite small compared to the Protestant population. But it has been grow ing steadily since Work) War II. Figures compiled by the Nation al Catholic Welfare Conference show that Catholic dioceses in n southern and border states had n total membership of 4,157.512 at the start of 1955, a gain of more than 40 per cent over the 1945 total of 2,778.381. The Catholic Church is finally establishing a firm foothold in such states as Virginia, North ; Carolina, South Carolina and Flor-; ida which have a long history of open hosti'ity toward Catholicism. Catholic population in North Car olina has nearly tripled in the past' 10 years. It has approximately doubled in South Carolina, Virginia and Florida. Despite these gains the Deep South remains by a wide margin ' ' I east Cat hoi ic ' sect ion of the United States. Nationwide, about 20 per cent of the population is Catholic. But in the South. Catho lics constitute lass than 'one per cent in each state except Mary land, Louisiana and Texas. Spanish Heritage M a ryl a nd , abou t 25 per cent Catholic, and Ixmisiaila, 33 per cent, were settled originally by Catholics from Europe. The 1.550, 000 Catholics In Texas reflect in part its Spanish heritage and in part immigration from Catholic Mexico. A Catholic historian, The Rev. James P. Shannon of St. Thomas College at St. Paul, Minn., beideves three factors have contributed to tne postwar spread of Catholicism in the South. In a recent issue of the Catholic magazine 'America" he listed them as: 1. The vigorous stand against racial segregation taken by Bishop Vincent S. Waters of Raleigh, N.C. A decree issued by Bishpp Waters on June 12. 1053, banning segregation in all Catholic church es in North Carolina, has "con- NOTICE If You have a large lot or acreage, you ran make up to $10,000 annually ror the next five yearn ruling Nutria.'

FROM ACHE TO ACHK NEW LONDON, Conn. (UP) The toothache bothering Robert Perkias indirectly resulted in n footache that made him forget his aching molar. Pained by the sore chopper, Perkins sat down on o curb to rest. An automobile ran over his right foot. vinced many, a southern Negro that he is genuinely welcome in the catholic church. 2. The movement of industries from 'Massachusetts and other tra ditionally Catholic ureas to new sites in the South. 'The percentage of catholic managers and key. personnel taken iouth from New England by mi grating industries has been well !n excess of the national average," wrote Father Shannon. 'Southern towns which never had a Catholic oafish are now finding themselves with a resident priest, a Catholic church, and a nucleus of Catholic residents who automatically de serve social recognition in the community because of their posi tion within the much-coveted in dustry." Television Helps 3. 'The television has helped to make the Catholic Church (better known and less suspect among Soutemers." In support of this statement. Father Shannon told the story of a southern mountaineer who had al ways refused to speak to the local Catholic priest. One day, after TV became commonplace in the area, the mountaineer approached the priest on the street and inquired: "Preacher, do you belong to Mr. Sheen's persuasion?" The priest replied that he and Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, a tele vision regular, were both CarhoMc 'Whereupon. 'V Father Shan non, "the oldjigentleman--invited the missionary into, his home and announced to a startled family. "This here is a man of God same as Mr. Sheen." He Turns to His Grandma's Day For Good Cooks NEW YORK (UP) Modern, men write cookbooks, exchange recipes at the office, and generally seem to be campaigning for equality In the kitchen. They become cooking converts for various reasons from hunger, from nostalgia or maybe from tactlessness. The latter group con tains husbands who have criticized the family meals just once too often. Allan Keller comes' under the nostalgic category. Keller is not, however, just a simple dreamer of food 'the way mother used to cook it," He goes way back to grandmother. He has 'eaten around a lot" since his boyhood on a farm in Windham County, Conn., the veteran nospaperman says, but never found any food he liked as well as the simple New England tare. Write Cookbook So he has written a cookbook. Without any apologies to the great male chefs of our day, Keller's book begins: 'My gmndmother was the best cook in the 'whole wide world." In the first half of his book, in which he sets the placid scene for turn-of-the-century New -England, Keller writes, "The automobile raised the deuce with good cook iug. It made it too easy to go to the store, and good as the stuff may seem, what one buys In a store is never in the same league as the stuff someone like grandma makes." Fortunately for their marriage, Mrs, Keller is an old-fashioned cook herself who believes in ba king her own bread just like grandma used to do. She and her husband tested, in their own Da rien, Conn., kitchen, all of the 200- some recipes in his book, 'Grand ma's Cooking," wliich was pub lished today by Prentice-Hall. Wood Range An old-fashioned wood range stands next to the modem electric stove in the kitchen. But Keller frankly admits that the wood range is used only for occasional dishes like quahog (clam) chowder and baked beans with brown bread. Nostalgia can be earned too far. The author, who now is on the staff of the New York World Tele gram and Sun, writes with genuine longing about some of the steam ing dishes grandma set on the taible, such as red fatlanel hash and johnny cake with drief beef gravy. He even makes mashed turnips, 'cooked with a medium white potato with each two-pound turnip which grandma said made tiie mashed turmps immeasureably lighter, sound like a rare treat, Here may be the answer to that old musical question, 'How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm," etc. Superb country food, the kind even Paris chefs can't produce, would do it, Keller sug gHts. . 'I always wondered why men left the farm for the city," he writes. 'I didn't m y s e 1 f until grandma went up to cook for the angels." COURTESY PAYS SKOWHEGAN, Me. ( UP ) Motorist J. R.
