Sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church is'reserved for
", those who are “truly in heaven and can see God face to
face.” Saints can be prayed to with the assurance that they
will intercede with God on behalf of the petitioner.
The making of a saint is not only a long process, it is an
expensive one. One authority in Rome is quoted as saying
. that millions of dollars were spent on Mother Seton’s cause.
Her life and writings — including her letters and diaries
— were minutely examined in a search for proof of her
sanctity, virtue and purity.
7 Testimony of scores of witnesses were beard by a court in
Rome
Before sainthood can be Conferred, the church also
requires evidence of four medical miracles attributed to the
intercession of the candidate. The cases must have been
declared hopeless by doctors before prayers to the candidate
resulted in recovery.
(In the case of Mother Seton, the fourth miracle require-
ment was waived.)

In many ways Elizabeth Ann Seton was an unlikely Candi-
da tef or sainthood. She was not a virgin and not a born Cath-
olic. A wealthy New York socialite, she gave birth to five
children before her conversion.
She was the daughter of Dr. Richard Baley, the first health
officer of New York. Her grandfather on her mother’s side
was the rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church on Staten
Island. i-n’
At age 20 she married William Magee Seton II, heir to a
shipping fortune. When he contracted tuberculosis, the fami-
ly moved to Italy where the climate was better. But Seton -
died, leaving her with five children to care for.
It was during this time in Italy that Elizabeth Seton
became acquainted with Catholicism. When she returned to
New York and told her friends she was thinking of becoming
a Catholic, they were stunned - as were the socialite parish-
‘ loners at Trinity Episcopal Church on Wall Street where the
Setons were members
She joined the Catholic Church in 1805 at age 31. In 1808 -
she opened a Catholic girls’ school in Baltimore - the first
parochial school in the United States. She is thus c---i-,“‘~*

There should be a lesson here to
those who covet political ap-
pointment. Their future could be
comparea to sliding down the political
razor blade of life.
Just imagine what the figures would
be if they were for the federal
government When one party comes to
town after a four or more year ab-
sence, houses become vacant and go
up for sale or rent within a 100-mile
radius of Washington, D.C. If the
Democrats are in power it can be hard
for a Republican congressman to find
housing, and vice versa. It’s a little like
being in the military — you try to avoid
long term leases.

. AUGUSTA, Maine (NEA) — Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, may
* be making a serious tactical mistake in his bid for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination by refusing to compete in the
straw polls conducted by various state party organizations. |
Five major straw polls have been conducted to date. The
most recent were held earlier this month in conjunction with
a statewide meeting of Maine Democrats here and the annu-
al Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner sponsored by Iowa’s Demo-
cratic Party in Des Moines ,
The Democratic parties of California, Massachusetts and
Wisconsin conducted earlier straw polls and at least two
others are scheduled to be held within the coming month, in
New Hampshire and Florida.
Critics of those non-binding popularity contests correctly
note that they have no formal relationship whatever with the

cratic National Convention in San Francisco.
Moreover, the straw polls are conducted on a generally
, unscientific basis and they may not provide an accurate indi-
cation of the candidates' relative strength even among those
participating in the surveys
Nevertheless, straw polls have assumed considerable
political importance as an indicator of the candidates'
appeal to party activists in the early stages of the contest for
the Democratic Party's 1984 presidential nomination.
As a general rule, a candidate's good performance in a
straw poll does not significantly help him, especially if he to
a front-runner who is expected to do well.
But a poor showing can substantially harm a contender
who fails to meet expectations. Moreover, straw polls pro-
vide a valuable opportunity for the candidates to test and
refine the technical skills and organizing ability of both their
. headquarters staffs and their field workers.
That last point is especially applicable to Glenn, whose
campaign organization’s ineptitude hds W*ned it the “right
stuff, wrong staff' appellation.
At the recent Maine conference, for example, Glonn’s
campaign committee maneuvered itself into a woot-of-
both-worlds predicament when the senator raised expecta-
tions by flying here to make a speech and ingratiate himself
with potential supporters - but then insisted that he wanted
nothing to do with the straw poll which was the centerpiece
of the meeting. He finished an embarrassing fourth in the
balloting, with only 6 percent of all votes cast.
In contrast with Glenn’s ambivalent approach, other con-
tenders either mounted a major effort to attract votes or
absented themselves entirely from the proceedings.
Glenn’s policy of not participating in straw polls to based
on the theory that his campaign does not need to expend ite
limited resources on such peripheral events because of his
unique status as a national hero best known as this country's
first astronaut to orbit the earth.
Thus, Glenn's strategists argue that he does not need
straw poll victories and similar marginal succesaea to attain
the recognition many months after they entered the race.
He can, they believe, successfully avoid much of the pre-
liminary maneuvering while awaiting the appropriate time
to promote his Mndidacy to the entire electorate through the
use of television and other mass media.
That “wholesale” approach to indeed appropriate for
reaching voters in the country’s most populous states and
during the spate of primaries in mid-March.
But the delegate selection process has evolved in a fashion
which requires a “retail” approach - the use of elaborate
statewide grass-roots organizations - prior to the crucial
Iowa precinct caucuses and New Hampahire primary in late
February and early March.
By not taking advantage of the opportunities presented by
the straw polls to professionalise a, staff which already
suffers from a reputation for incompetence, Glenn to
