Part IV Marooned on a Doomed World!

Storyline: The group enters the empty flying saucer. It takes off and brings them to an underground facility. They follow a dark, narrow corridor, which takes them to an elevator. The door closes and the elevator drops many stories. When the door opens, they meet Cufocr and Gecher. They learn that a strange disease has wiped out three-fourths of the world's population. A rogue planet had entered their solar system and was being attracted toward their sun. The wandering planet struck the moon and killed everything on the surface of the planet. Now, there are only a handful of survivors on the planet.

Storyline: The story of Joseph Haydn. He showed musical talent at a very early age. He became known as the "Father of the Symphony." At the age of 50, he befriended a penniless composer named Mozart. In 1790, he went to Vienna to see Beethoven, a student who he had met on his way to England. They disagreed in their approach to music and were two different types of musical geniuses who didn't get along. He died in 1809.

Storyline: The Civics Clubbers see factory workers on strike and ask Sister Concillia about workers and unions. She shows them a film that tells the Church's stance on management and labor. In 1885, Pope Leo XIII issued his great letter "On The Condition of Labor," and 40 years later, Pope Pius XI defended Pope Leo XIII's principles from misunderstanding and extended them to modern problems. Both Popes insisted that workers be paid a living wage and that governments should pass laws to protect the working man. Joe remembered that under communism, they were always asked to work faster and paid poorly.
