Stephen V. Duffy, Prominent Brooklyn Layman, Says Ef forts of Association Have Created Respect and Friend liness for Georgia in Other Parts of the United States The work of the Catholic Laymen's Asociation has created an atmosphere of respect and friendliness for the people of Georgia in other parts of the Union, Stephen V. Duffy, promi nent Brooklyn layman and friend of the Association declares in a letter to President Rice, read at the Columbus convention. The letter, which was accompanied by a generous check for the work, one of several Mr. Duffy has sent in recent years, follows: Dear Captain Rice. In all circles up here in New York the work of the Catholic Laymen’s League of Georgia has been held up to us as a shining example of the way a knowledge of the Catholic position and doctrine should be spread and bigotry and prejudice eliminated. Your appeal coming fom the Southland is very much ineffec tive in the Northern States, where the kindliest feeling towards Georgia prevails. Incidentally, I believe that much of that friendly spirit has been brought about by your active, ener getic, widespread efforts to spread good-will and a better understanding among our American citizens. While primarily religious of course, you have created an atmosphere of respect and friendliness for the peo ple of Georgia that is widespread among those in neighboring states and certainly in the North, where the broadminded tolerant spirit of Geor gians has come so prominently to the fore in recent years. For this I sin cerely feel you can claim a good share of the credit. I am sending you a check for $50, which I regret is so small, just as ‘a token of esteem and appreciation of the noble work you are doing, and I echo the sentiment of many with whom I have come in contact that your noble work under God may con tinue and prosper. Very sincerely, TEPHEN V. DUFFY, Brooklyn, N. Y. October 31, 1930.
