The CATHOLIC Woman
Is Never In Doubt!

after success, they made up for the lean years by buying a
$200,000 mansion in Encino.
But the Bendixes like leisurely living, and a house loaded with
servants and upkeep responsibilities didn't fit their pattern. "I
wanted to slack off work," Bill recalls, "and enjoy what I've
made. You can't do it in a museum."
He shows what he means when he tosses his golf clubs into
a racy sports car and drives to a nearby country club for 18
holes, leaving behind Mrs. Bendix and a part-time housekeeper
to tidy up the three-bedroom home.
"We don't plan far ahead," he continues, "either in work or
living. We don't travel much, for example easier and more en
joyable to stay home. And as for work, well, this year I've made
two TV appearances (including his appearance tonight in the
O. Henry -classic, "The Ransom of Red Chief," on NBC) and
did Captain Queeg in 'The Caine' Mutiny Court-Martial for
the summer-theater circuit. Haven't had time for much more."
Bill means that work has been crowded out by a busy schedule,
which includes pruning garden flowers, canvassing antique shops
to enlarge his pewter collection, and trying his hand at cooking.
Such a hard day may wind up with a game of checkers with
Therese in a house quiet except for low tuned classical hi-fi.
Entertaining is rare and in small groups, usually including the
Alan Ladds who are long-time friends. Bill may read a new
novel and a gardening magazine before turning in, but he doesn't
sleep late. The day is too good to sleep through. "Yep," says
Bendix with a good-natured grin, the only characteristic leftover
from his professional roles, "this is the real 'Life of Riley.' "

hard to believe but these
are the off-camera roles
played by the bewildered
TV favorite "Riley" - who's
really Bill Bendix, a man
who was never type-cast.
Bill's appreciative audi
ence is his wife Therese.

The Catholic woman, of course,
has the same problems of living
that other women have.
But she is never in doubt as to
how to solve them. In every de
cision she makes . . . large and
small . . .whether they occur in her
adolescence or later on as a wife
and mother . . . she can use the
clearly defined principles of her
Catholic Faith. Some will say that
this is a form of "thought control"
to which they would not submit.
By the same reasoning, the Bible
with its strict commandments
guiding human behavior might
also be called a form of thought
control.
Women generally, of course,
are opposed to divorce. Many of
them regard it as a grave social
evil. Catholic women not only
share this view, but know that
according to God's law divorce
with remarriage is a serious sin.
Catholic women may be tempt
ed, at times, unlawfully to limit
the number of their children to
fit the family income. But the
Church reminds them this is a
violation of God's law. Likewise,
the obligation to provide religious
training for their children is not
a matter of choice, but a duty.
Sincere people of all faiths, it
is true, are regular in their church
attendance and conscious of their
need, to worship God. But for all
Catholics, including women, these
are regular obligations which they
can never shirk. Attendance at
Mass on Sundays and Holy Days,
Confession and Communion at
least once a year, and fasting and
abstinence, are not merely religi
ous exercises which a Catholic
may observe or ignore. They con
stitute elements in the required
Catholic "way of life."
