V mi - Vidi By MARGARET SCHULER Rome I realise and ap preciate that I am seeing in Rome such stuff a school children will study in history books for centuries, the year 1962 of the Ecumenical cong ress, the year that Pope John (Giovanni) XXIII called to gether the greatest gathering of Catholics in two thousand years, the first congress where East and West Cath olics have met together since the great Schism in 1318 and the Nicene creed. (The date I remember along with 1066, 1402 and 1789 as I can't re member dales today.) Along with some say 50,000, some 200,000 inter ested persons, I watched the procession on Thursday last. It was four and a half hours long and was of such glit tering, awesome splendor as to be breathtaking, like some pageant of the middle ages, tied to the prcicnt.

Eight Bearers The Pope (II Papa) was brought from the Vatican through the bronze doors, on the shoulders of eight bear ers in scarlet uniforms. The colorful Swiss Guard- in their blue and yellow uniforms, (said to have been designed by Michelangelo) walked be- lde the throne with the cream colored canopy. Behind the Pope were the King's guards wearnig the helmets with the long horse tails and the colorful gen darmes wearing the Napol eanic hats and black and red suits, In the evening, when we again returned with the same crowd of the day, the beauty of everything was again al most overwhelming. All the statues, and there must be 200 of them anyway, were light ed from underneath with the soft orange light that is used all over Rome for their treas- urcs; the fountains in the square were a blaze of bril Iiance; the pope's apartment contrasted by being cinnamon shade, and St. Peter's itself was floodlighted pure white. Strips of Fire Processions of pilgrims carrying flares, coming from all directions so many of them, gave the effect of strips of fire. The Pope blessed the crowd, and ended with some thing most unusual which caured a ripple of laughter, and great applause. He said, cheerfully and simply, "Thank you and good day." Evidently Popes do not say such homely things often. Today, Sunday, as last Sun day, when we stumbled into a socialist parade, (unawares) going in one direction and churchmen going the opposite way, again we were caught in a gust of people. I was herding my little group of children from the Pantheon to Piazza Navonna along a comparatively quiet street. Suddenly we heard clap ping, saw people running in all directions, so again we scurried along and around a corner. There in front of us, going up the steps of (not one of the biggest or most impor tant ones.) a church was, the Pope with his entourage. It was all so simple and un heralded, with no fanfare and no tremendous crowds thai we filed in, and unbelievably, stood within 15 feet of the most talked of man in the world this week. The church was all glider ing with candlelight and tele vision was in action. Cheerlul The papers have been full of how tired (he Pope looked, but he certainly did not today. His voice was strong, and he seemed a cheerful, kindly, homely man, not too benign, nor on the other hand, not too stern. This morning at the Epis copal church, one of the Protestant observers, the Rev. Frederick Grant gave the talk. I am sending a copy of it as he made many Interest ing comments. After the service during the coffee hour, I met him and asked for a copy. As he did not have one he gave me his notes, A young man wan standing beside mr and he said that he had wished to have it too. As he is a reporter for the Chicago Herald Tribune and had In have his copy to wire it, 1 gave it to him. How wonderful to he real correspondent, important enough to lend ituff by wire: Talent - News of interest in the valley is the marriage October 6 of Miss Patricia j Marie Neifert, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Leroy L.
