Guiding Genius Penny Sale 1950: Expectation Highlights

Last year - Penny Sale at t.ie Rhode Island Auditorium was the most suc- cessful affair ever held at the Audi- torium. The crowd which attended last year's affair was the largest ever as- sembled at the Auditorium An esti- mated 19,000 people crowded into the area which normally seats 5.400 Traf- fic was tied up from Randall Square in Providence to Pawtucket. The lob- by of the Auditorium was packed and many people were turned away In the Auditorium itself, it was al- most impossible for the ticket sellers to get through some sections of the crowd, which was packed ten rows deep However, in spite of the con- gestion the crowd was very orderly and very responsive to requests from the platform Workers were identified by red and white sashes marked with numbers This year workers will be assigned five different jobs, the job of each to be designated by the color of the sash being worn. The colors will be: red; white and gold; royal blue; and pearl gray. This year's sashes will be made cf satin and will be reserved for other uses during state occasions at Provi- Rev. Charles H.

O Mary, Virgin and most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves today to thine Immaculate Heart. We consecrate to thee our very being and our whole life, all that we have, all that we love, all that we are. To thee we give our bodies, our hearts and souls, to thee we give our homes, our families, and our country. Mindful of this consecraMon, we now promise to imitate thee by the practice of christian virtues, without regard for human respett. We resolve to re- ceive Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month when possible, and to offer daily five decades of the Rosary with all our sacrifices in the spirit of penance and reparation. Amen. Mother of God Asks Pilgrim Virgin Daily Family Rosary To Strengthen Home

The power of the Rosary is unchal- lenged. it has saved individuals, fam- ilies, nations, and the whole world through its powers. We are again asked to pray the Rosary, to bring peace to this chaos-torn world by the Lady of Fatima who said: "I am the Lady of the Rosary and I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. They must not continue to offend Our Lord, already so deeply offended. They must say the Rosary." And what better way is there to say the Rosary than with the family?
