PLAN OFFERED TO SPEED UP COUNCIL WORK V ATICAN CITY: THE FRENCH, GERMAN AND BISHOPS AFRICAN VIRREACHED AVE H ON AGREEMENT TUAL UP SPEED TO A PLAN THE THE WORK OF ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
They feel confident that other groups of bishops will join in their proposal to change council rules to reduce the number of weekly general meetings from five-Monday through Friday—to three. The other two days are to be used for meetings of the various national or regional bishops' conferences at which council Fathers will not have to speak in Latin and will have a real opportunity to debate the issues. The proposal states that following discussion in national conferences, only
• By . . . FATHER PLACID JORDAN, O.S.B. two Fathers would be assigned to present the pros and cons of a topic at a general meeting. This, according to the plan, will cut down on duplicating speeches as well as those that stray from the point under debate. SPEED UP The proposal was prompted by a widespread feeling among the Fathers that the council needs to speed up its work. "The work of the council began a year ago," an American bishop remarked, "and we still have not adopted a single schema. With 17 schemata on the agenda, at this rate it will be 1980 when those of us then still alive can go home."

ANXIOUS Pope Paul VI is understood to be anxious to put the liturgy schema into force on the first Sunday of Advent (December 1), just before the December 4 end of the council's second session. But various amendments still remain to be voted on. Whether discussion on the second schema — "On the Nature of the Church" —will be completed during the second session is still uncertain. If the council should decide to streamline the schemata, as has been suggested, by including both the Mariological a n d ecumenism schemata in the one on the Church, debate on the latter could not possibly be finished by December 4. At a press conference reviewing council progress, Bishop Helmut Wittier, of Osnabruck, Germany, said that many bishops are displeased by the council's slow progress. But, . he added, it is difficult to reach a compromise between the need to avoid interminable debates and the desire not to interfere with freedom of speech.

The oldest Archbishop in Australia, the Most Reverend Daniel Mannix. D.D., died in Melbourne on Wednesday, November 6. at 12.35 p.m. Archbishop Mannix suffered a collapse the previous day and prayers were asked for him by the Vicar-General of the Melbourne Archdiocese, Monsignor L. P. Moran, Adm. The late revered Archbishop would have had his hundredth birthday on March 4, 1964. Known throughout the continent, Arch bishop Mannix, who was born in Charleville, Ireland, has
been a national figure since he was appointed to the See of Melbourne in October, 1912, as its Coadjutor Archbishop. He succeeded to the See on May 6, 1917. Renowned for his statements and interest in anything that affected the Church and the country, he was regarded by the great majority of people as a great churchman and a great Australian. Retired from active work of latter years, His Grace still kept up his interest in all things. His failing health slowly never dimmed the intel-
lectual acumen that was naturally his. SUCCESSOR TO SEE The Most Reverend Justin Simonds, D.D., Ph.D., who was appointed Codajutor Archbishop with the r;ght of succession on May 6. 1942, is at present in Rome attending the second session of the Second Vatican Council. The new Archbishop of Melbourne was born in 'Glen Innes, New South Wales, on May 22, 1890. He was ordained on November 30, 1912, and was appointed Archbishop of Hobart in 1937.
A BASIS FOR RE-UNION NAPIER, New Zealand,— The primatiol diocese of the Anglican Church in New Zealand has gone on record in favour of seeking union with the major Protestant Churches—but only on a basis that would not stand in the way of union with the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. The action was taken when the synod of the Diocese of Waiapu met in Napier under the presidency of Archbishop N. R. Lesser, Anglican Primate of New Zealand. It passed a resolution stating in part: "This synod, being mindful that Our Lord Jesus Christ
taught us that it is His will that His Church should be one, affirms its desire to seek a basis of union into which the Church of the Province could enter. together with the present negotiating Churches, provided that such basis would not render the hope of union with
the Roman and Orthodox Churches unlikely or impossible. ' SIMILAR The motion was similar to others being passed in other Anglican diocesan synods throughout New Zealand. according to Archdeacon S. F. N. Waymouth. With Archbishop Lesser. Archdeacon Waymouth is a member of an Anglican commission that has since 1958 examined church union prospects. The Protestant Churches negotiating together, and
with whom the Anglican discussed had Church union, are the Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregationalist and the Associated Churches of Christ. At present the four Protestant Churches hope to vote on union next year, although a recent report said the Congregationalists are looking to 1965. NO EXCLUSION Reunion should not be looked upon as a Protestant b 1 o c. Archdeacon "You Waymouth said. can't exclude the Roman Catholic a n d Orthodox Churches.

SIGNIFICANT FACTS ON EDUCATION FROM CENSUS IN A STATEN ENT RELEASED BY THE PARENTS AND FRIENDS' FEDERATION OF W.A. IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT THAT SOME SIGNIFICANT FACTS APPEAR IN THE AUGUST CURRENT AFFAIRS BULLETIN ENTITLED "THE 1961 CENSUS." of these are Catholic children seeking Catholic schooling. The age group of matured vocations, the 25-29 year old group, that is children born in the depression years of the 1930's has shrunk by seven per cent since 1954. This is one reason why we are short of teachers in religion. Age groups below 25 years of age have all increased since 1954, especially the 10We 14 and 15-19 groups. should therefore hope for an increase in total vocations among our young people. Conclusions to be reached concerning t h e Catholic
Points from the 1961 Census of interest to Catholics are: Since 1954, the Australian populaiton has increased by one and a half millions. Of this increase over 500,000 is accounted for by Catholics through high Catholic migrant intake and high birthrate. Catholics in 1933 were 19.44 per cent of the population, in 1954 we were 22.94 per cent, and in 1961 24.63 per cent. The number of children of school age in Australia is about three million— nearly one- third of the whole population .Between one-quarter and one-third

part of the Australian community are: The strength of the Catholic minority in Australia is growing. Its educational requirements for teachers in religion may be eased in a few years time. The requirements of Catholics from State Governments in education cannot be ignored by any political party which seeks to hold office if the growing numbers of Catholics in the community unite on this issue. By 1975, Catholics will be at least 30 per cent of the Australian population.
Extracts of the statement are published below: The records of Premiers' Conferences show that the Commonwealth . and State Governments are agreed that education is primarily a State Government responsibility. Commonwealth financial aid, however, has been a crucial factor in enabling the States to discharge their educational responsibilities at all levels. In sub-tertiary education, aid to the States has come in two forms, the first being by general revenue grants based on an agreed formula allowing for annual growth. In the year 1950/ 51, t hese grants totalled £90m. and in 1963/64, the estimated total is £318m. In the year 1950/51, State expenditure on education totalled 46m. and in the year 1961/62, £201m. In the second place, the Commonwealth has supported the loan market which, of course, serves to provide the capital cost of State schools, to the extent of over £800m. between 1951 and 1962. Commonwealth Taxation policy has been designed to lighten the burden of education expenses by allowing deductions of a maximum of £150 for each child up to 21 in respect of education expenses and a further deduction of £91 for each dependent child between the ages of 16 and 21 who is receiving full-time education.
FRINGE BENEFITS
The Commonwealth Government has also given significant aid to private educational institutions within its own territories. Commonwealth aid is given to mission schools in Papua and New Guinea and in the Northern Territory and to church schools in the Australian Capital Territory. The State Governments' responsibility for education includes, of course, a responsibility for decisions on aid to private schools. All States aid such schools by giving benefits for which all students are eligible; for exand scholarships ample, bursaries. At the tertiary level, Commonwealth aid for private institutions is relevant only in the treatment of residential colleges affiliated with universities. The Commonwealth policy is to give aid to such colleges on terms as favourable as those accorded to universities' halls of residence. In tertiary education the achievements of the present Government have, I believe, been spectacular. We initiated block grants to States for their universities on a regular basis in 1951. In 1956. my Government appointed the Murray Committee, whose report led to the establishment of the Australian Universities Commission in 1959 and we he-

Blessedness Of The Starving Soul THE BEATITUDE OF THE WORLD SPOKEN ON THE PLAIN OF THE COMMONPLACE IS:
"Blessed are the blase, for they never worry over their sins." IN CONTRAST WITH THIS IS THE BEATITUDE PRONOUNCED ON THE MOUNTAIN:
"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness; they shall have their fill" ET the Lord of the Universe come into this world which denies absolute truth, which says right and wrong are only questions of a point of view, that one must be broadminded about virtue and vice, and let Him say to the world f "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after holiness which I am . . ." He will find that in their broadmindedness they will give the mob the choice of Him or Barabbas; they will crucify Him with thieves and try to make the world believe that God is no different from a batch of robbers who are His bedfellows in death. This Beatitude follows those in which there is a recognition. of our own poverty and nothingness, and as a result, a longing for betterment surges in the soul. As the hart panteth after the living waters, so do the spiritually thirsty yearn to drink of the waters of life.
BEATITUDE OF CHALLENGE THIS Beatitude is not for the dilettantes or the blase or the selfrighteous who are their own
gan the greatly expanded system of aid to universities from 1958. The record shows that between 1958 and 1960 the Commonwealth provided approximately £21m. for State universities. In the period 1961/63, this provision rose to £45m. and now the Commonwealth Parliament has passed my Government's proposals to spend in the some 1964/66 triennium £60m. on the State universities. Side by side with the development of State universities, we have continued the development of the Australian National University where expenditure between 1958 and 1960 was f6.8m., between 1961 and 1963 £14.9 m. and in the period 1964/ 66 will amount to £21m. The Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme was established by my Government in 1951, and by the end of 1962, 19,462 students had completed courses as scholarship holders. The expenditure on scholarships between 1951 and 1963 was £20m. In 1964, open entrance scholarships are to be increased in number from 4,000 to 5,000 whilst second and later year scholarships will be increased from 780 to 1,280. In addition, up to 225 postgraduate awards are made each year. The Government Is now awaiting the report of the Education Committee on the desirable future pattern of post-secondary education in Australia. This will include an examination of technological education and teacher training. The policy of the ComGovernment, monwealth having regard to the States' constitutional right and repeated expressions of their desire to control education, is to develop the above forms of aid to education on as liberal a scale as Commonwealth financial resources permit
creators, their own redeemers, or who live on the surface of their souls with no great passion; it is not for the spiritually poor who do not wish to be rich, nor for the morally sick who will not be healed; rather it is the Beatitude which issues challenges such as the Lord issued to the rich young man, asking him if he was willing to give up his luxuries for the "passionless passion" which the world can never give. This Beatitude offers a great deal of hope, for it is addressed not to those who ATTAINED holiness, but for those who have not, or who "hunger and thirst for holiness." There is a blessedness in the longing. in the striving for betterment, in the getting up after the fall, in making oneself a sheep which gets out of the mud rather than a pig which stays in it; it addresses itself to all pagans who stumble in darkness and yet aspire to the light, to those who have a fragment or a segment of the circle of truth and would complete its. full orb, for those who are in the clutches of sin and through satiety no longer want a food which makes hungry where most are satisfied. It beckons to those who are sick
of mediocrity and ordinariness, and who see in the little spark of human love which they, enjoy. something that has been thrown off from the great flame of Love Which is God. It is for those wh( , want to be good and who realise the nobility that is in i.ne depths of their souls ,and, above all, for those who are full of husks and are very empty.
YET A CATCH IN LONGING BUT there is a catch to this longing for holiness. It my not be a mere emotionalism on the surface of the soul, nor a vague humanitarian cry for more culture. It is a longing which must be as poignant and as terrible and as driving as hunger and thirst. The craving can only be compared to that of the passion of a starving man for food, and of parched lips for water. Some can be ill and feel as if they were hungry. and yet when food is offered, they are unable to eat. So there are some that can have an emptiness, btr when true holiness is presented t‘ • them, they turn their souls away Such refusal to satisfy the hunge: of their souls often ends in an atrophy to the .deadness to the Bread of Life. The desire, therefore, is not just for earthly happiness, but for holiness which is in Love Who walked But this Beatitude the earth. promises that the desire shall not be mocked, nor find itself empty and hollow. There shall be a filling without being sated. Body hunger and thirst are appetites that return frequently and require fresh satisfaction. But these holy desires rest not in anything that is attained, but push on further to renewed pardons, fresher supplies of life and truth and love, ever fulfilling the words of Augustine: "Our hearts were made for Thee. 0 Lord, and they are restless until they rest in Thee."

AL Nation-Wide Appeal Will Build Chapel At Duntroon A
NATION-WIDE public appeal named "Operation Christian Soldier,- was launched in mid-October to raise the sum of £35,000 for the constructoin of an Anzac Memoilial Chapel at the Royal Military College, Duntroon.
The chapel is designed to fulfil the dual purpose of c ommemorating the sacrifices of those members of the Australian and New Zealand Armies who died in the service of their countries and at the same time provide for the moral and spiritual welfare of the future leaders of the Australian Army. The total cost of the chapel will be £60,000. Of this amount £25,000 has already been donated by Duntroon graduates, their families, churches, and the Australian and New Zealand Governments. ALLOCATION Each State has been allocated a specific amount to raise and the target for Western Australia is £3,000. The chairman of the West Australian Appeal Committee, Mr. G. M. Bunning, has

DETROIT: A Circuit Court Judge here refused an uncontested divorce to a mother of five children, saying he would not create stepchildren "by a stroke of a pen." When Judge Joseph G. Rashid dismissed the suit by the woman against her husband of 16 years, court aides said it was one of the few times in many years that an uncontested divorce was denied. The woman charged her husband with failure to support his family properly. She said he remained in a business he was operating at a loss. As a result, she said, she was forced to work two jobs to supplement the family's income. Denying the divorce, Judge Rashid said "the sooner people are made aware that we judges are not granting divorces on a productionline basis, the better it will be." He said in cases involving young children, "we should exercise extreme care. I do not choose by the stroke of a pen to make them stepchildren or to deprive them of their natural father." He said the wife's case showed only "aggravation and exasperating conduct." Judge Rashid continued: "The fact that these people may not or cannot live together is no grounds for divorce. The passive attitude of this man does not justify my destroying a home because too much is at stake for them and for society." He said there are thousands of women work ing to supplement the family income.

RECORD
Concern At Slanted Image 01 Bishops ROME.—A prominent American Scripture scholar has expressed concern about the image certain reporters are creating of the American Bishops in the Ecumenical Council. Father Barnabas Ahern, C.P., Prefect of studies at the Passionist seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A., and a former vice-president of the U.S. Catholic Biblical Association, said in an interview here: "Although the press in general has been both generous and sympathetic, I feel that some writers have often missed the true spirit of the council and have failed to measure justly the character and role of the American Bishops." A council expert, Father Ahern has frequently addressed national hierarchies, including t h e American Bishops. CLICHES use of the recurring "The convenient cliches 'left and right wings,' liberal and progressive conservative,' and reactionary,'" he said. "has given a simple and understandably human explanation of council deliberations. This simplification, however, obscures the fact that most bishops belong to neither group." He said the bishops "are seeking the best good and the most effective means of Church reform." He went on to say that those who interpret the council as a. struggle between two opposing sides do not see the total picture. Father Ahern, who goes to all the general meetings of the council, said that in the council hall one senses a real groping for t rut h "through a process of testing and sifting." All the speeches in the council, he said, are the means the Holy Spirit uses to enlighten the "minds of the council Fathers to formulate whatever is best for the life of the Church." CHARACTER The American Bishops, he observed, are fulfilling the role of "impartial arbiters." Those who minimise their contribution fail to take into consideration the distinctive character of the United States hierarchy, he said.
By . . . FATHER VINCENT A. YZERMANS, author of several books, including "Pius XII and the American People." -To appreciate their contribution," he continued, "one must always bear in mind the unique qualities of the American Hierarchy, qualities which the press many times has failed to place in proper focus." Father Ahern said that these "unique qualities" are: As bishops of a growing. developing Church, the American Bishops had to become builders, administrators and financiers. "To shirk these duties," he pointed out, "would mean a real neglect of interests which are essential for the proper functioning of the Church in our country." He said that the fervent spirit of Catholicism in the U.S. is a tribute to our Bishops who "have chosen to serve wholeheartedly according to the demands of the particular way of life thrust upon American them in the scene." DEDICATED The American Bishops are men totally dedicated to the good of the Church. This dedication has made them, as a body, willing to listen and learn and accept ideas with openmindedness. -They have shown," he said, "a remarkable diligence in studying the various propositions, and a determination to choose whatever is best for the good of the whole Church." The American Bishops' reluctance, if it can be called reluctance, is best explained by the American character itsself. "An American," he said, "prefers action to speech. He finds it embarrassing to create tedium by voicing views which another has already expressed." This national temperament has restrained more than one American bishop from addressing the council assembly, he said.

REAL CONTRIBUTION Father Ahern sees merit, even in the reluctance of the American Bishops to speak. He says that when an American bishop does speak, the others listen with special interest. "Aware of the strength of Catholic life in America, and aware too that American Bishops are not given to much talking," he said, "the other bishops know that the speaker feels he has something worth saying and they give him wholehearted attention. T h e discourses given by some American bishops have been a real

THE YOUNG CATHOLIC * THE AVERAGE HUMAN BEING IS ENDOWED BY GOD WITH FIVE SENSES WHICH KEEP HIM IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
CATHOLICS IN U.S.A. GIVE MUCH AID NEW YORK: Relief supplies worth some 25 million dollars were donated by U.S. Catholics to the 1962 Thanksgiving Clothing Collection sponsored by the bishops. A record total of 17,842,000 pounds of used clothing, shoes, bedding, blankets and other materials were given to the 1962 collection, accord to a report iss...;ed here by Catholic Relief ServicesNational Catholic Welfare Conference. The report was made pub lic as preparations were under way for the 1963 Thanksgiving Clothing Collection, which will be taken up next month in parishes throughout the council. A statement by Auxiliary Bishop E. Swanstrom of New York, executive director of CRS-NCWC, said the materials given to the 1962 drive totalled some 840,000 pounds more than the figure for 1961 That made it the
The loss of any one of these senses, that of sight, for example, can be a serious handicap to his development. However a man rises above blindness, it is an obstacle to his growth in knowledge at least. It can also cause a distortion of personality. For his growth and maturation as a Christian person, it seems to me that a young Catholic layman needs three other senses, which will keep him in communication with the social and spiritual order of the universe.
largest total since the annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collections were begun 15 years ago by the Bishops. Clothing received in the collection is shipped by CRS-NCWC, world's largest voluntary relief agency, to distibution centres in areas of need and distress in 67 countries. Among the largest shipments listed from the 1962 collection were: Chile, 1,033,9871b.. Formosa, 971,3401b., Ecuador, 881,2331b., Philippines, 734,9841b., Tunisia, 542,6401b., Colombia, 456,137 lb., Paraguay, 441,7281b., and 427,7681b.. K o re a, Morocco. 425,6841b. Bishop Swanstrom noted that large quantities of clothing and other supplies were sent as emergency shipments to aid victims of floods, earthquakes a n d other disasters during the past year. Hours after an earthquake last July levelled Skopje. Yugoslavia, Catholic Relief Services sent 150,0001b. of clothing and blankets from its warehouse in Trieste to the stricken city. When spring floods ravaged the Villa Riva region of the Dominican Republic. 13,500lb. of clothing and bedding were sent to aid victims of the disaster. Large amount of clothing and shoes, as well as food and medicine were supplied to survivors of a cyclone that killed more than 10,000 in East Pakistan.
S ENSE
OF
SECURITY
HE needs, first 9f all, a sense of self—that is, a sense of his own dignity as a human being. If he does not love himself in the proper manner, he will use himseslf destructively and all others like unto himself. He develops this awareness of his own worth from the fact that he has been loved, by his parents first and continually, by his relatives and friends usually, by God always and with a sense of growing intimacy. He is lovable because he has been loved. It is this that gives him a sense of inner security from which he can live humanly. Secondly, he needs a sense of otherness. As an adult he can no longer live as a child. His role has changed. He is now the giver of love and not just the receiver. He should contribute more personally to the creation and perfection of life. This is the challenge of his growing maturity to love another person and every person, not just according to his own gift but according to that person's, need. To sense another's loneliness, to be aware of another's ache, to offer a helping hand, a sympathetic ear, to be willing to accept another's gift, to be willing to be helped in return—this is the sense of otherness most desperately needed in a world of deprivation and injustice.
A
WAY
OF
LOVE
THIRDLY, what is needed is a sense of vocation. Each young Catholic layman has his own need of being loved and his own need of loving. Each one, too, has by the will of God, a vocation, a way of love in which he will offer back to God his gift of love. It is not an accident, but the work of Divine wisdom, that each person finds himself in these given circumstances—this particular age in time and this particular position in space, with these particular parents and people, with these particular challenges.
DRUGS DON'T MIX WITH DRIVING If you are taking drugs to keep you calm, stop your hay -fever sneezing, lower your blood pressure or help you to lose weight—here's a word of warning.
.So you have these three senses—of self, of otherness, of vocation. But the greatest of these is a sense of vocation, of a calling to a participation in the whole order of Divine Love.
can dangerously enhance the effects of the other— one small glass of liquor could create a drunken menace behind the wheel.
The Father no longer creates just by Himself. He asks for human agents in the whole creative and perfective order of love. The Son died once. but He asks others to die to self in the whole redemptive order of love that all mankind might be brought to the Father. The Spirit loves always, but He asks for witnesses to love. In turn, He heals all wounds, restores all life and sharpens all senses.
CERTAIN DRUGS CAN AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO DRIVE A CAR SAFELY Both sedatives and stimulants can have unexpected, often disastrous side-effects. In fact few people realise that medications so common that their names have almost become household words— like painkillers, pep pills, transquillisers a n d wonder drugs—can, even if taken as directed, impair their ability to drive and endanger their lives on the road. DIM VIEW There is nothing dangerous about the drugs in themselves. They represent health-giving advances of medical science. But the same drugs can dim your vision, slow your reactions. muddle your mind or send you into a trance. Some of the drugs strike quickly, causing fainting spells or even temporary deafness.

c ontributions to the council and have accomplished a great deal in directing the course of the council." Father Ahern said he feels a "great injustice" has been done by those writers who fail to take these and other observations into consideration when writing about the American Bishops. He said he feels that this false representation is due to the fact that writers "have not treated adequately the background, characteristics and spirit of eminently sincere and holy churchmen who, as Bishops of America, have had to be wholly American."
Others produce slow insidious effects that creep up en the .driver, gradually s'owing his reflexes. or lulling him to sle-n. When combined with alcohol, each
TAKE CARE What can you do to protect yourself against the sneak attack of such drugs? Firstly, you should take care with these six kinds of medication, which are most likely to impair your driving— Pain Relievers and Sedatives, Tranquillisers, Antihistamines, Motion Sickness Drugs, Nerve Stimulants and Wonder Drugs. ASK For your protection, you should always ask your doctor or pharmacist about any drug's possible impairment of your driving ability. Of course, any drug should always be taken strictly in accordance with directions —overdoses can be highly dangerous. If you are driving and feel any unusual reaction—stop Immediately. Also, if you are taking a drug, find oul. hf-)w long it takes to wear off. Some drugs have quite long.lasting effects.
So, your sense of self, of otherness, and of vocation may not be too sharp. Probably what is needed really is a sense of Holy Spirit, for through Him and with Him and in Him all things are possible—except playing it cool.

BER OF THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE SAID HERE VIETNAM'S BUDDHIST UPRISINGS BEGAN AS A LEGITIMATE RELIGIOUS PROTEST, BUT NOW ARE BEING EXPLOITED BY THE REDS. Representative Clement Zablocki, in an interview the day after his return to Washington from a twoweek study missioh to the Far East, had high praise for the reporting of Father Patrick O'Connor, whose dispatches have appeared in the Catholic Press, including "The Record." RELIABLE .He said the veteran Fat East reporter of the N.C.W.C. News Service has been reporting "much more honestly" on the religious issue than most other sources of news in Vietnam. Zablocki, chairman of the House's sub-committee on the Far East and the Pacific, led an eight-member group of legislators which visited Vietnam and other sensitive areas of South-East Asia. His conclusions, which he said are largely shared by O ther mission members, include these on the issue of Persecution and Catholicism: THREE POINTS • There is no evidence of r eligious p of the Buddhists. ersecution • It is erroneous to describe Vietnam's govern'neat as "Catholic" and to Imply that the recent disturbances stem from Catholicism. f The Saigon U.S. press corps in seems young and in-
experienced, seeking chiefly sensational stories, and failing to confirm many of the details. Visiting newsmen sent on special assignment to get more accurate accounts on the alleged religious issue. Zablocki related that on t wo occasions in Saigon, his mission held sessions with newsmen, seeking the reporters' facts and opinions on developments. Father O'Connor, he said, read to the congressional delegation a chronology he prepared of the events related to the Buddhist uprising. NO EXCEPTION "None of the other forty or so reporters took exception to his account," said Zablocki, although he noted that the reports differed in many ways from dispatches seen in U.S. newspapers at the time of the incidents he reviewed. [Father O'Connor, although critical of several aspects of the Vietnam government's conduct in the Buddhist controversy, has reported that the charge of a "Catholic-dominated" government which systematically per secutes Buddhists and favours Catholics is untrue.] Z ablocki said that other interviews in Saigon resulted in reports that backed

tions of Jews under his jurisdiction were not halted immediately. This measure saved the lives of many Jews of Hungary. The late Pope John XXIII, while Apostolic Nuncio to Bulgaria, Lapide said, succeeded in saving almost all the Jews there under instructions from Pius XII, and Archbisop Andrea Cassulo, who was Apostolic Nuncio to Rumania, under similar instructions, was able to forestall numerous deportations of Jewish people residing in that country.

up early Father O'Connor's dispatches, such as government-financed construction of Buddhist pagodas and government agreement with initial Buddhist demands— only to have them revised by Buddhists. He said the first Buddhist protest in Hue was a legitimate uprising over injustice. The government denied the right to fly a Buddhist flag at a major event in Hue, although the papal flag had flown prominently at a only ceremony Catholic days before. EXPLOITED "Since then, the communists have exploited the issue," Zablocki said. "And the Reds have used this highly emotional issue effectively. "We must remember that Vietnam is a police State, a situation that has come about because it is a State engaged in civil war. My own impression is that if the Vietnam government did not use what we consider 'harsh' measures against alleged Buddhist demonstrations, the communists could paralyse the country." On the issue of a "Catholic government," Zablocki said that "nothing is more erroneous." He produced a statistic, also earlier reported by Father O'Connor, on the religious composition of government leadership. It c!.?i_ms that less than 25 per cent of the government's staff is Catholic. Zablocki, whose group spent three days in Vietnam, said he will urge to the full House Foreign Affairs Committee that a highly respected private individual or team of investigators be sent to Vietnam to prepare an exhaustive report on the Buddhist issue. • "The Record" awaits Father O'Connor's report on what appears to be the murder of President Diem.

Rev. Brother T. W. Dean, B.A., Dip. Ed., L.R.S. has recently returned from four years' study in Europe. He was awarded a scholarship by the Italian Government for his studies in Italian at the University of Melbourne. He studied in Rome at the Lateran University from 1959-62, graduating with the Licentiate in Religious Science. The course which he followed was the one provided by Jesus Magister, the Institute of Higher Religious Studies .for Teaching Brothers, and embraced the usual disciplines of a theology course — Dogmatic, Moral, Fundamental and Ascetical Theology; Sacred Scripture; Canon Law; Church History — as well as subjects of special interest to Teaching Brothers, Catechists and Religious Psychology. On completion of his studies in Rome. Br. Dean spent an additional year at Lumen Vitae in Brussels to specialise in Catechists, and he obtained last June the Diploma of the Institute; students who hold this diploma and who have already graduated with a Licentiate in Theology may proceed to the Doctorate after a further year's study. The inof character ternational Lumen Vitae gave ample opportunity for making contact with representatives of the Catechetical movement from all over the world, for both lecturers and students are drawn from many different lands. Last year's group was composed of priests, brothers, nuns and lay people who came from 33 countries on all five continents. Visits to the principal catechetical centres in possible made Europe, through the organised study Holland. into journeys France and Germany, also gave an opportunity of making contact with authorities in the catechetical world.

Question Of Local Colour
Would Exceed Its Powers
"WHY didn't Christ use rice and tea at the Last Supper?" This question and others held the interest of 90 nonChristians at a special retreat at the Kinugasa Catholic church in Kyoto. Father John J. Meaney, M.M., said: "Printed invitations were mailed to about a thousand person who shoWed some interest in the Church. With the invitation they feel more at home." The retreat started with Mass, facing the people, in the new modern chapel. A ten-minute talk before Mass along with a commentary of the Mass highlighted the ceremony. Copies of St. Matthew's Gospel were given to each as a souvenir. A 30-minute description of the Gospel and the life of Christ ended the morning's schedule.
A SPOKESMAN for Belgium's Christian trade unions said in Geneva that the International Labour Organisation would "exceed its powers" if it were to present birth control as a desirable solution to employment problems.
Slowly On The Increase THE number of Catholics in Japan has gone up by two-thirds in the past ten years, according to the annual survey of the National Catholic Commit tee of Japan. The survey showed that Caholics numbered 308,814 on June 30, 1963. In 1953, Japan had 185,284 Catholics.
Joseph Keulers, first deputy secretary of the Belgian Confederation of Christian Trade Unions, spoke to t h e I.L.O.'s Preparatory Technical Conference on Employment Policy, which met in Geneva to draw up general principles on full employment policy. Some 300 delegates, representing governments and employers' and workers' organisations in 70 countries, came to help prepare recommendations for the 1964 International Labour Conference. "If the I.L.O. were to present birth control as a possible and desirable solution," Keulers said, "the organisation would exceed its powers and would be unfaithful to its fundamental principles which respect the rights and dignity of the human being."

POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING ACTS OF VANDALISM AGAINST CHURCH PROPERTY IN THE VICINITY OF BRESCIA IN NORTIIERN ITALY, WHICH WAS THE HOME OF POPE PAUL VI. Unidentified attackers fired several shots at a Marian shrine at San Vigilio, breaking a lamp in the chapel. Earlier two shots were fired into the door of the house where Pope Paul was born in nearby Concesio. Police said it was not clear if the attackers were vandals, communists or cranks. At Aosta, 150 miles west of Brescia, other a ttackers set fire to the side door of the cathedral and smashed lamps in the chapel of Our Lady of Fatima. Leaflets signed "Association of the Chinese Communist Party" were found in both places.

Elected As Youth Leader
Enrolments Are Heavy
DONATIEN DANGI, the director of the Congolese government's youth services. has been elected national leader of the Xaveri Catholic youth movement.
NEW enrolment records, seven new schools and five enlarged ones marked the opening of Catholic schools through the British colony. The 128,681 pupils attending the Church's 198 kindergarten, primary and secondary schools are a nine per cent increase over last year's in 191 Catholic schools. About two-thirds of the students are non-Catholic. As of June, 1963, the enrolment in all Catholic schools represented about 11 per cent of Hong Kong's then school population of 76'7,328.
The Xaveri movement has 35,000 members in the Congo where it was founded in 1952 by Father Georges Defour, W.F. It has spread to Ghana, Nigeria, Camermm, Uganda, Tanganyika, Nyasaland, Northern Rhodesia, Rwanda and Burundi.
THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT NEWSPAPER IZVESTIA HAS CARRIED AN ARTICLE ATTACKING A TOP SOVIET WRITER FOR APPROVING SOME ASPECTS OF RELIGIOUS MORALS. The writer, Konstantin Simonov, 48, a declared atheist and communist, had said in an interview that he thought religious precepts urging people to live a moral life have their "useful side." Izvestia printed a long article by Grigori Simonov, a Moscow philosophy professor, which praised the writer's basic atheism but called his qualified support of some religious precepts "flirting with religious morals." The professor wrote that to say there is something good in religious morals is "incompatible with genuine atheism, which sees its task as the complete overcoming of religion and cannot allow any peaceful co-existence." 41,P4.4,11.4P

ROME.—"Our Lady should not be a subject of division between Christians, but a symbol of unity,' said Abbot Christoper Butler, 0.S.B., of Downside Abbey, president of the English B enedictine Congregation. He spoke at a press conference arranged in Rome by the British Hierarchy for a discussion of the council proposal on the Blessed Virgin. A vote was to be taken by the council on whether it should be debated as a separate schema or incorporated as a chapter in the schema "On the Nature of the Church." A proposal on the matter prepared at the request of the British Hierarchy and a similar one sponsored by the Bishops of Chile, Abbot Butler said, complement each other and may be combined "to gain massive support." SOURCES The English draft differs from the council proposal in giving greater emphasis to Biblical sources than to dogmatic pronouncements on the Assumption and Immaculate Conception. Besides the English and Chilean proposals, Italian, Spanish and French Mariological drafts have been submitted to the council. The great interest in the topic, Abbot Butler said, is reflected in some 600 sug gestions received by council commissions. preparatory "We feel," Abbot Butler added, "that in considering them two aspects should be stressed, first the progress of Scriptural research and secondly, ecumenism. FROM BIBLE "We should deal with Mary from a Biblical viewpoint, realising that the separated brethren insist on Christ being the only source of our redemption, while Mary is the type of all those who by faith have entered into the redeemed fellowship.

By. . . Father Placid Jordan, O.S.B. 4trii-Air4rAszsvio ozi tA• the Church as the supreme example of faithful discipleship, the Mariological draft logically should be part of the ecclesiological one. "We feel strongly that we should go back to the Biblical foundations and other sources we have in common with the separated brethren, especially the Eastern Church Fathers whence Catholic devotion to Our Lady originates." A Protestant reporter in the audience questioned these Biblical foundations of Mary's role as not being conclusive. acknowAbbot Butler ledged that Orthodox theologians dislike formal definitions on Mary because they tend to rationalise a mystery. But, he said, "all Christians could meditate t ogether on what the Bible tells us about the Mother of God, which would help the cause of unity, whereas further elaborations of dogmatic definitions now valid for Catholics only might raise further obstacles to this cause." AVOID DIVISION At another press conference, Father Aloysius Grillmaier, S.J., of Frankfurt, Germany, stressed the necessity in discussing the Mariological issue not to assume a sharp division between "maximalists" and "minimalists." This, he said, would only cloud the problem and create an unhappy atmosphere for discussion in the council, which is expected to be rather controversial. The council, he said, is seeking" a well-proportioned Mariology based on Scripture, one in keeping with the pertinent statements of the late Pope John when he proclaimed the inclusion of St. Joseph in the Canon of the Mass and with Pope Paul's Christological emphasis in his council inaugural address. The Mariological teaching of the Church, he said, should be made known in terms understandable to this age, especially to the separated Christians. We should see to it that our Christology is not neglected by an over-emphasis on Mariology, Father Grillmaier concluded.

STABILISATION Of THE CALENDARThursda l-oov il iiii HELP CHURCH AND INDUSTRY THE FATHERS of the Second Vatican Council have opened a subject of interest to men everywhere —the reckoning of the passage of time. In so doing, they have reminded the world of the part the Church has played in determining the orderly procession of days months and years.
T
HEIR action is related to a desire for a fixed annual date for Easter and for a simplified permanent calendar. It immediately calls up the fact that an earlier group of council Fathers—meeting at Nicaea in the year 325—set the present method of determining the date for the observance of Easter. It also directs attention to Pope Gregory XIII, who gave his name to the Gregorian Calendar now in use in most of the world. By votes of over 2,000 to less than ten, the presentday council Fathers made these recommendations: The council considers the wish expressed by many for a fixed Sunday Easter, and for a permanent calendar, to be of no small moment, and hence, after paying due heed to the consequences that may follow from such a new calendar declares:
Not Opposed
from Orthodox and Anglican leaders.
"The council is not opposed to fixing Easter on a determined Sunday in the Gregorian calendar, provided this is agreeable to all others who are concerned with the problem, especially the Christian brethren separated from communion with the Holy See. "Similarly, the council is not opposed to the various initiatives for establishing a perpetual civil calendar, provided the week of seven days with its Sunday is safeguarded and provided the regular succession of weeks remains intact—unless most serious reasons would, in the judgment of the Holy See, persuade otherwise." These positions were taken in the form of amendments to the fifth chapter of the council's schema on the liturgy. Though they are far from urging any concrete action, they are still considered a significant beginning. They drew prompt and favourable responses
Easter is now celebrated each year on the first Sunday after the full moon which occurs on or next after March 21, the spring equinox. It can thus fall on any date between March 22 and April 25. A major problem of the Nicene Council, in trying to achieve its goal of a simultaneous celebration of the throughout Easter world, was to fix the date of the spring equinox. In Syria, tli? fourth - century Christians were following the imperfect Jewish calendar. In Antioch, Easter was celebrated on the first Sunday that actually followed the Jewish Passover. In Rome, the feast was dependent on the date of the spring equinox, and this was fixed at March 25 in Julius Caesar's Julian Calendar. But in Alexandria, the astronomers —heeding the sun rather than the edict of Caesar— determined that March 21 was the date of the equinox.

The Nicene Council Fathers chose the Alexandrian reckoning, the true astronomical date.
Alarm The intervention of the Church in the yearly calendar came in 1582, during the reign of Gregory XIII. Over the centuries scientists had expressed alarm to churchmen over the manner in which the Julian Calendar was moving ahead of the sun. The Councils of Constance and Basel heard reports on the matter. The Council of Trent referred the issue to the papacy, t ying it with reforms of the missal and breviary. Pope Gregory's calendar advisers realigned the Julian Calendar with reality by suppressing three leap days in every four centuries, removing those in the centenary years not divisible by four. Thus 1600 and 2000 are leap years, but not 1700, 1800 or 1900. The immediate problem was to bring the spring equinox of the Julian Calendar back to the true astronomical date of March 21, as the Nicene Council had decreed. Pope Gregory solved this by suppressing ten calendar days at one stroke—Octoher 4, 1582, was followed immediately by October 15, 1582. The difficulty of achieving, calendar reform on a worldwide scale is illustrated by the record of compliance with the Gregorian change. Spain, Portugal and Italy accepted at once. France waited only two months. The Catholic German States followed France by a few days. Austria, Switzerland and Poland carried out the reform in 1584 and Hungary did so in 1587. But the Protestant States in Germany did not come into line until 1700 and not fully so until an edict by Frederick the Great in 1778. Great Britain and its American colonies made the change in September, 1752. Japan joined the Gregorian nations in 1873, China in 1912. The Christian churches of the East were the strongest holdouts to the Gregorian reform. In 1924, the Greek Orthodox and a number of other Orthodox churches accepted the Gregorian Calendar. But the Russian Orthodox Church retains the Julian Calendar to this day. The problem of interChristian tensions has always been a stumbling block in calendar reform. Pope Leo XIII, responding to a plea for a fixed Easter in 1897, spoke of the danger of "introducing greater divisions into Christianity." But he also said: "If this danger could be overcome and if the relative stability of the Easter feast were to be universally demanded, owing to a movement of public opinion as further enlightened by the learned world, the initiative for such a reform could then be taken under consideration by the Holy See, especially in a general council."
World Calendar Proposed new calendars seek to align the annual orbit by the earth around the sun into a fixed chart that would be standard and permanent. One solution, the World Calendar, would provide a year of 12 months, with each three-month quar-
ter having regular patterns of 31, 30 and 30 days. The 365th day would be known as Worldsday, and be placed at the end of December. In leap year, another special day would be placed between Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1. These special days would exist outside of the regular weekly pattern. Under the World Calendar each date of the year could thus fall on the same date of the week annually. In the debate on the calendar proposals at the council, Bishop Franz Zauner of Linz told why the Church currently interested in reforms: "The economy of industrial cities requires a stable order of work and leisure If the Church were to remain silent on the calendar matter, the danger could arise that reforms would be made acceding to atheistic systems that do not respect the seven-day week," he warned.
Five Fields ROME: Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini of Palermo. Italy, has stressed the necessity of the work of the layman in five main fields—politics, the press, education, labour and entertainment. The 75-year-old Cardinal told a press conference in Rome: "There is no need to talk of the legitimacy of the lay apostolate. It is more useful to discuss its necessity. "Catholics must have the holy ambition to arrive at a point where they can help make laws. Catholics must take part in political life, not to conquer by violence but to legitimately bring Christian principles to bear." In the field of education, he said, "the school is sometimes more important than the Church. Enemies of the Church begin by attacking the schools, leaving the churches until later. Missionaires open schools before building churches." He said Catholics should imitate the communists and try to fill chairs of philosophy, physics and medicine in State and private universities to make the full effect of Christian teaching felt. Laymen are vitally needed in the entire field of labour, he said. "The workers are getting away from us. We can ring our church bells and hold ceremonies, but where are the workers? It is up to laymen to go into factories, shops and commercial and to complexes industrial reach where the clergy cannot go." PROGRAMME As for entertainment, the Cardinal noted that "television is the school of the family," and the need for convinced laymen in the whole field of the arts is great. The Cardinal closed the conference by outlining a five-point programme as a basis for an effective layman's apostolate—first and foremost, living one's faith morally and as an example; real and serious study of Christian teachings; profound conviction of the truth of one's religion; action rather than passive criticism: and lastly love.

MRS. AMA WRIGHT MANY women in the industrial and shipbuilding area of Teesside on the north-west coast of England have good reason to be grateful to Mrs. Amelia Wright. For many years this area has been a Iron and steel rolling mills, man's world. c hemical factories and shipbuilding have provided heavy industrial work for tough husbands and sons. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN? Generations of mothers, daughters and wives had to be content with a life dedicated to their own housework or somehow find the initiative to throw themselves into the struggle for a few available jobs. Then, at the end of World War II, when there were still few opportunities for people who wanted to work in light industry, Government industrial trading estates were set up. Textile firms with factories in other parts of Yorkshire and in Lancashire and elsewhere were encouraged to open new factories in the Middlesbrough area. 0• • :

Training Operatives MANAGEMENTS were not slow to realise that the success of their new enterprise depended to a very large extent on the character of the people selected to of hundreds the train women operatives in their news jobs and help them to adapt themselves to a completely new way of life. Industrial life suited Mrs. Wright. A native of Nottingham, she spent her early years training as a factory operative. She picked up new processes quickly, and was liked by her colleagues. Still very young when the war began in 1939, she had already been placed in control of the personnel of a clothing factory near Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire, one woman controlling the training and welfare of more than 500 women operatives, many of them several years older than herself.

She Found Jobs For 1,000 Women While there she met her future husband. They married in 1944, and after the war made their home in Middlesbrough, where Mr. Wright returned to his p eacetime employment. During a thre months' absence of her husband in the United States of America. Mrs. Wright returned to Mansfield, where the management of the clothing factory were delighted to have her back, and her interest in industrial life was quickly revived. It was not surprising that, on her return to Middlesbrough, she found herself scanning the advertisement columns of the local news-
papers. When Foister, Clay and Ward Ltd., the Leicester hosiery firm, advertised for someone to train operatives in their new Middlesbrough factory, it seemed that Mrs Wright was "made to measure."

Women For The Council? RECOMMENDATHE TION OF LEO CARDINAL SUENENS OF MALINESBRUSSELS THAT WOMEN BE ADMITTED TO ECUMENICAL THE COUNCIL AS AUDITORS IS LIKELY TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT SOON. The Belgian Cardinal's recommendation is understood here to be the result of a joint initiative taken by laymen now auditing council sessions. The auditors officially approached the Cardinal moderators of the council and suggested that the time had come to give serious consideration to the admission of women. Pope Paul VI is reliably known to have referred to the matter when the first list of lay auditors was submitted for his approval. Cardinal Suenens then sounded out the feelings of the council Fathers in a speech on October 22. Since council reaction was favourable — even including applause for the Cardinal's speech, which is unusual and against council regulations — it is now expected that women prominent in international Catholic organisations will soon be named auditors. Miss Pilar Bellosino of Madrid, president of the World Union of Catholic Women, was expected in Rome late in October to discuss the matter with council authorities, some of whom believe that admission of women Religious is a problem. But competent quarters pointed out that as in the case of heads of international lay organisations, heads of groups of major superiors
could be sisterhoods of chosen without difficulty. of conferences National major superiors of women's institutes have been established in three dozen countries in the past decade, and there is now an international union of women superiors general, with headquarters in Rome.
The Answer To Hair Oil
Ever since men first started putting oil on their hair, women have been moaning about the marks they leave behind wherever their heads have rested. Some women resort to an unending store of chair-backs, others just nag without much result. Pillows are the big problem. Really clever women have worked out a technique of their own with multiple pillow slips, putting on half a dozen at a time and peeling them off one by one so that there are several thicknesses in the way of the oil getting through to the actual pillow. There is no need for these elaborate precautions any more. The newest pillow beats the hair oil menace and copes unflinchingly with women's face creams, too. Foam-filled ,it looks no different from an ordinary pillow at first glance. But the secret lies in its two coverings — a removable outer cover of smooth, taffetaweave nylon that wards off grease stains, and an inner cover of tough cotton that protects the foam when the top cover is removed for laundering. A normal pillowcase slips easily over the lot.

More than LOGO woman operatives are busily producing vests, pants, cardigans, pullovers, shirts and pyjamas, most of which find their way to famous quality chain stores. Small wonder than an executive of the company has described Mrs. Wright as "a golden investment."

APOSTLESHIP OF THE SEA NOTES
Xaverian Club
During the twelve months up to November 1, the Apostleship of the Sea in Fremantle has received and in the name of the local Catholic community, extended hospitality to over twenty-five thousand seafarers. A more varied selection of the human race could not be encountered. There are differences on at least a dozen scores. Believe it or not, the language barrier is not the obstacle that one might imagine it to be. Most seafarers have some knowledge of English and with the help of the multi-lingual staff Club helpers, all difficulties are ironed out. I mentioned the fact that it is in the name of the local Catholic community, that Christian hospitality is given to this big cross-section of humanity. •••••••• 11.4.#4.41 ,4^4 , "04^~.04 ,4 , 0 , 0 , ""0.41.0 ,

The object of an Apostleship of the Sea Centre is to enable the Christian community on board ship to come into contact with the Christian community ashore so that they will be renewed and strengthened in their spiritual lives and encouraged in the practice of the Faith. Needless to say, not all seafarers visiting the Stella Mans are Catholics or even many Very Christians. come expecting a Christian welcome and it is hoped they do not go away disillusioned. Many come who have attended Catholic schools in mission lands. Many come because their children or relatives are Christians and attend Catholic schools. Is it too much to expect that their response to God's grace will to some extent be influenced by their impression of the Catholic Church as seen at close quarters and the account they will be moved to give to their Catholic friends back home?

It will be seen then, that the work of the Apostleship of the Sea is a many-sided apostolate. Through social contact with seafarers of all nations, the Church's mission to every individual soul is pursued in a methodical and practical manner. The Club members tend to specialise on the background of certain parts of the globe in order to be all the more on common ground with the visitors from those parts. Take for example the countries; Scandinavian there is a strong seafaring tradition going back many centuries into the period when those countries were predominantly Catholic. They are absolutely ignorant of what the Catholic Church is or of what it stands for. On another plane, the Ecumenical spirit as we might term it, is abroad and the life of the Church is of intense interest to the millions outside. Surely all this is a challenge to every one of us in this community, blessed with the varied means at our disposal, spiritual, social, cultural and material, there is an opportunity for everyone to participate either directly or indirectly in this work. There are few circumstances in our experience where the expression "all things to all men" is more fulfilled than through the Stella Mans Clubs throughout the world. F REMANTLE MARINE E XHIBITION
This year, the Stella Mans is participating in the Marine Exhibition with a view to illustrating as eloquently as possible the work of the Apostleship of the Sea both in Fremantle and throughout the world. The Club stand will be to the right of the main entrance and the Exhibition will be held from November 15 to 24. A visit to the Club exhibit will reward your interest.

Toodyay Parish Will Open Third Church The third church to be built in the 110-year history of the Toodyay parish will be blessed and opened on Sunday, November 17. His Lordship, Bishop McKeon, will perform the ceremony at 3 p.m. on that day. This will be followed by a Solemn Mass celebrated by the parish priest, Father J. Chokolich.

This will be connected to the Convent by a covered way and the Sisters' convent chapel will be converted to other use. Builder of the church was Mr. J. Bianchini and the architects were Summerhayes and Associates.

IRISH CLUB Everyone enjoyed themselves in an evening of music and dancing run for Irish Club members and visitors at Highgate Hall on Sunday night. Welcomed to the Club was Father P. McCudden who has just returned from Ireland. During the evening congratulations were extended to Charlie Bloomer on his being made President of the Scottish Union of W.A. Their many friends gathered around to wish happy birthday to popular Kay Markham and Bill Corcoran. Bill has done a lot of work in establishing the Irish Pipe Band, and members are reminded that piping practice takes place every Friday evening at the East Perth Oval, commencing at 8 p.m. The weekly Thursday evening dance in Shenton Park Hall is proving ever more popular, and young men and women are asked to go along and be taught Irish dancing free of charge. In the friendly and relaxed atmosphere they will meet and make many new friends. On Thursday, November 14, at a suburban hotel, the Club will hold a cabaret evening at which some topline talent of stage and TV will appear. Please see notice elsewhere in this paper. Any bookings may be made by contacting the secretary, Edward Fitzmaurice, 62 Redfern-st., North Perth. Phone 24-4691.
Christian Brother Dies At Glendalongh A late vocation to the Christian Brothers whose ability as an electrician and carpenter and whose pleasent good humour and solid piety was known from North Queensland to the South West died on Tuesday, October 29. Christian With fellow Brothers and Little Sisters of the Poor praying at his Brother Joseph bedside, Roderick Brown died peacefully at Glendalough at the age of 75 years, the last 25 of them as a Lay Brother in the Christian Brothers. Brother Joseph was born in Victoria but moved with his parents to Western Australia where they settled in Manjimup. Here, his skill as a builder and engineer was offered in the erection of several churches. At the age of 50 with the encouragement of two priest friends, Monsignor C. Cunningham and Dr. F. Kearnan, he decided to become a lay brother with the Christian Brothers. At the conclusion of his novitiate, Brother Joseph was sent to Abergowrie Agricultural College in North Queensland where his knowledge as an electrician and engineer kept things going during the difficult war years. Upon final profession Brother Joseph was transferred to St. Mary's Agricultural School at Tardun where he undertook the installation and maintenance of complex machinery essential for the farm and school. Failing eyesight and the need for regular medical attention brought about Brother's transfer to Clontarf and then to Glendalough where he was cared for by the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Requiem Mass was celebrated by Monsignor W. Dzieciol assisted by Father J. Luemmen, S.A.C.. as deacon and Father J Gajkowski as subdeacor. His Lordship, Bishop McKeon, presided at the Mass. The master of ceremonies was Brother L. Flanagan and the Clontarf Boys' Choir, under direction of Brother B. Fitzgerald, sang the Mass. Boys from Clontarf and Castledare formed a guard of honour for the late Brother Brown from the College chapel. At the graveside, where the prayers were said by Dr. F. Kearnan, were Brother Brown's sisters Edith (Mrs. E. Taylor), Vera (Mrs. W. Hegney) and Dorothy, old boys and Brothers May he rest in peace.
About 30 members of the Xaverian Club and their friends enjoyed themselves at a barbecue last Sunday at the home of Margaret Sands. Some of the members were successful in their attempts at the "Limbo," although others were not so successful, but this all added to the fun of the the rain evening. Even later in the evening did not dampen the spirits for the "Conga." On Thursday, November 14, members will be having a night at a bowling alley, so all those wishing to come please let the secretary know.' Three alleys have been booked from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Fairlanes. We will meet outside at 7.45 p.m. On Monday, November 18, a party has been arranged for "The King and I." All those wishing to come please hand in their names as soon as possible. On Thursday, November 21, a limited number have been invited to go on a tour of the ABC studios.

Our discussion this week was on the spiritual preparation of engaged girls. Although material preparation is important, spiritual preparation is essential, and we found most girls overlook this vital fact. A marriage can exist without spiritual practice, but it is an empty existence. For perfect unity in marriage you must have spiritual practice.

The guest speaker will be His Lordship Bishop M. McKeon. We would like as many as possible to come along and make the evening a success.

Our dance last month was particularly successful and we hope our next one on Sunday, November 17, is equally as good. Everyone is welcome! In several weeks time one of our leaders, Gillian Huxley, is off overseas for an indefinite period. Another leader, now that her music exams are all over (Helen Costello) has come back to our leaders group.

He said: "Unless the work, the services and the ideals of the Y.C.W. are shared out amongst every young worker within our influence, then the branch cannot fully achieve its purpose of spreading Christian practices in the life of each working person." Michael Glasson is directing the painting of the hall and is eager for volunteers to help in this small task, which is almost completed.

O UR LADY OF LOURDES, NOLLAMARA Diana Hislop and Paul Lowe successfully defended their "cock of the court" title for the fifth time last Sunday against Maureen Halton and Bernie Munden after a close call against Rayna Ryan and Ted Lowe a fortnight previously. Our Lady of Lourdes Club will act as host to St. John's Tennis Club, Scarborough, on Sunday, November 10. Intending players are asked to be at the courts by 1.10 p.m. Members desirous of participating in the Club visit to St. Joseph's Tennis Club, Queens Park, are requested to familiarise themselves with the detail on the Club's notice board and then advise the court captain of their intentions.
38 TEAMS NOMINATE THIRTY-EIGHT TEAMS HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE Y.C.W. SUMBASKETBALL MER WHICH OPENS ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12. All matches will be played at Perry Lakes Stadium. Ross Leddin, president of the Y.C.W. Sporting Committee, commented on the coming season: "This year the competition looks even more promising than previous years. There are about 270 players involved in this healthy leisure activity which is improving growing and from season to season." Results of the grading conducted last Sunday at Perry Lakes were judged by two experienced basketball players Bob Anderson and John Forster. Results were as follows:
A GRADE: Highgate (1), East Vic. Park (1), Cottesloe, Shenton Park (1), Bedford Park (1), Scarborough, Claremont (1), Applecross (1). B GRADE: Bedford Park ( 2), Highgate (2), Osborne Park, East Vic.

TURF TOPICS
By THE HAWK CUP HOPE . . . BADLY AWAY . . . MENDS WAYS. . . CONDITION HELPS . . . OVERCAME BAD DRAW . . PUNTERS ASTRAY. . . striking all-the-way A win by CYGNET STAR in the Westland Handicap over 101 furlongs proved that he is entitled to be favourite for the Perth Cup. Like ELLA'S COMMAND, he is a fast stayer and both run their races the same way—therefore much interest will be attached to the first time they clash. Cygnet Star's next start will be the Birthday Cup on Monday, November 11, in which he has the light weight of only 7.12. It seems that the only way he can be beaten in this race is for something to mix it with him in front, but he appears to have too much pace for any of those entered. BEATEN AT START Slowly away in the Symmonds Handicap (1) of five furlongs, WATERLOVER is yet another to prove that you can't give a start in short rates. Even so, he ran a very poor race for an odds-on favourite. COUNTESS NAN, although only a pony, brought up her second win from two starts, but weight could trouble her from now on. In running second, QUOTANE showed that he is coming to hand nicely and will go one better soon. E i STRAIGHT TE1S TIME Whereas BULERA'S SON ran all over the course last week, which caused his defeat, he raced with a new bit in the Symmons Handicap (2) and ran truly to the post. MYVANWY (said to be Welsh for "good sort") ran a good second and is sure to be improved by the race. It is hard to compare DALDERRA'S fifth with her stylish win a couple of weeks ago.
TWO RECORDS El TO ACC ATHLETES TWO RECORDS WERE BROKEN BY ASSOCIATED CATHOLIC COLLEGCOMPETITORS IN ES THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS HELD AT PERRY LAKES STADIUM LAST SATURDAY. Doug Ray (New Norcia) broke the under 16 long jump record with a leap of 20ft. 67in. He also won the triple jump in the same age. Alec Brown (Marist Brothers, Subiaco) easily won the under 12 75 yards in the new time of 9.3 secs. Others to record wins were David Ceranich (CBC, L'ville) in the open long jump. With his very last jump he registered the excellent distance of 20ft. 10.Iin. Jim Maslin (Marist Bros., Sub.), unlucky to lose his step in the final of the under 16 hurdles, made amends shortly after in the 440 yds. final. He won it in the fast time of 54.4 secs. Jim Borkowski put up a brilliant performance in the open 100 yds. It was not until the last 15 yards that Rod McGhee gained the upper hand. Jim also anchored the Ci3C Highgate relay team which ran third in the open division.
Other placegetters were: P. Fisher (Trinity) in the open 440 yards; G. Kenny (Marist, Subiaco) in the under 17 long jump; P. Hales (Marist, Subiaco) in the under 15 long jump; C. Campagnoli (Marist, Subiaco) in the under 14 220 yds., and J. Miller (Marist, Subiaco) in the under 13 100 yards.
FITNESS TELLS
Having the benefit of a few races greatly helped JUST DAVE to account for t wo good colts in SYMBOLIC and KINGLIKE in the seven-furlong Belgravia Stakes for throe-year-olds. Both placed horses were having only their second race this season and it will be surprising if they don't turn the tables on the winner when they next meet. KINGLIKE'S run was full of merit, as he made the pace, dropped out and came again to run third, a sign which is always dependable.

IMPRESSIVE To overcome a very wide barrier draw at the 7, mix it with the leaders after going a furlong, and then go on and win the Novice Handicap, showed ALDASAN to be better than previously thought. Of the others BRIAN BRI, racing first-up, needed a more experienced rider and his number would have appeared in the frame.
n
BIG BOB FAILS
Racing for the first time in blinkers, odds-on favourite BIG BOB could only run fifth in the six - furlong Quality Handicap. The race was fought out by TANTRUM a n d PEEDONG, while BERNGUARD surprised by running third at such a short distance. The placed horses were the three outsiders of the field. Of the trio, the winner Tantrum started the shortest price at 20-1. The result was hardly palatable to backers, who saw the second odds-on fancy toppled in the first five races. E l WIN OVERDUE After three seconds in a row, NORVAL BOY deserved his win in the Advance Handicap. Having the speed to reach the leaders early from a wide barrier position, played a big part in his win. NARLAKITA was the only horse really backed against the winner, but a slow getaway spoilt her chance. UNLUCKY LAST R ACE For several weeks now the last event has proved a trap for punters. This week it was REFRESHING from the Son 0' Minx stable who caused the upset, beating red - hot favourite LIGHT CARGO. It is doubtful if the winner has ever looked better and this time perhaps he will go on with the good work. He started at 33-1 and paid his supporters odds of nearly 80-1 on the win tote. Light Cargo appeared on the scene too late, but now that he has had a couple of races, he's going to be a harder nut to crack from now on. 01 BETTER NEWS It is now known that there are no broken bones in SON 0' MINX'S leg, which was injured during track work recently. The setback has happened at a bad time and it may cause the colt to miss his important engagements during the forthcoming Christmas Carnival. Should this be the case, then it is likely that when he next races it will be in Melbourne. When heavily topped horses, such as this fellow is, suffer leg trouble, it is not usually a good sign. AQUANITA is a recent case, and both horses are by the same sire and built on similar lines. E l WEEK'S BEST Apart from the brilliant performance given by CYGNET STAR, the run of BERNGUARD in the Quality Handicap suggests that there are good things ill store for this smart horse.

AMENDMENTS APPROVED FOR LITURGY VATICAN CITY.—THE TEN AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER V OF THE LITURGY SCHEMA WERE PASSED BY THE COUNCIL FATHERS SINCE LAST WEEK'S ISSUE. The amendments— ( 1) Put greater emphasis on the pre-eminent role of the Blessed Virgin in the Church's liturgical cycle. ( 2) Stressed the fact that, in close connection with the liturgical year, the Church also makes use of instruction, prayer, works of mercy and penance as elements in the formation of the laity. ( 3) Provided that, if it becomes necessary to make adaptations in the liturgical year because of special local circumstances, this shall be done with the authority of the episcopal conferences. ( 4) Stressed the importance of the observance of Sunday in the liturgical year. ( 5) Pointed up the twofold aspect of Lent as a period of preparation for Baptism and as a season of penance, showing how both lead to a full share in the Pascal mystery. ( 6) Noted that Lenten instructions should not fail to stress the social character and con.sequenes of sin and to make clear the nature of sin as an offence against God. ( 7) Stated that penitential practices, in accordance with the changed conditions of the times and adapted to local possibilities and conditions, should be urged and commended by the competent authorities. ( 8) Declared the saints to be honoured in their images and authentic relics are to be held in veneration. ( 9) Provided that Articles 85 and 86 of the schema be taken out of the main body of the text and be made an appendix entitled "Declaration of the Second Vatican Council on the Reform of the Calendar." (See special article, Page Eight.) ( 10) Stated that the council considers the wish expressed by many for a fixed Sunday for Easter and for a permanent calendar is of importance and hence, after paying due heed to the consequences that may follow from such a new calendar, declares that such changes shall be studied.
His Lordship Bishop McKeon, Bro. L. Marshall and Sir Frederick Samson lead the official guests through a guard of honour.
MAYOR OPENS WING, BISHOP PAYS TRIBUTE A modern science block was included in the £45,000 wing built at St. Patrick's College, Fremantle, which was opened last Sunday by the Mayor of Fremantle Sir Frederick Samson.
Sir Frederick, an old boy of the school, began there in 1903, and later went to C.B.C. in St. George's Terrace. Over the years he has kept up his association with his former school and shown interest in its activities and progress. Official guests at the opening included his Lordship Bishop McKeon, who blessed the new building, Monsignor J. Bourke, Father P. Nanni, Brothers Kelly and Marshall (headmaster), the Education, for Minister Hon. E. Lewis, M.L.A., Mr. Kim Beazley, M.H.R., Hon. J. Dolan, M.L.C., Hon. J. Tonkin, M.L.A., Mr. H. Pletcher, M.L.A., Mr. Antoine Boylen, Director of Secondary Education, who is also an old boy, Mr. W. Hughes, who acted as chairman, and Mr. J. Gabbedy, chairman of the Old Boys' Association, who made the appeal. The new wing will hold an additional 100 students, bringing the total enrolment of St. Patrick's Fremantle to 540 boys, In his address to the 1,000 parents and friends present Bishop McKeon said: Eighty-one years ago, a man dedicated to the cause Of Catholic Educatio n, Bishop Griver, the second Catholic Bishop of Perth, laid the foundation stone of this school, which afterwards became known as St. Patrick's School. With Bishop Griver the
schools had top prtority and every penny that could be spared went to the erection of schools. He was succeeded by other bishops, Bishop Archbishop and Gibney Clune, men who were no less zealous in the cause of Catholic Education. Need I refer to the zeal of our present Archbishop in this allimportant field. His zeal is well known to all of you, and today, thanks to the foresight and initiative of those great leaders, we have in the Archdiocese a network of schools second to none, in view of our population, in the Commonwealth of Australia.
Built System Our bishops have dedicated themselves to the building up of this system because they were aware of the truth of the words of the great Bishop Gibney, who said: "If the heart be not trained in the principles that should guide it, our educational work is in vain." It seems providential that the spiritual sons of Edmund Ignatius Rice, the Christian Brothers, should arrive in Fremantle on January 31, 1894, 12 years after the foundation stone of this school was laid, and it is not surprising to find them taking charge of St. Patrick's seven years later. In their early foundations in this State,I suppose they felt that they should give top priority to the port that

had first received and welcomed them. I need hardly remind you of the contribution which the Christian Brothers have made to the cause of education in general and Catholic education in particular since their arrival in this State. It is well known to all of you and many of you who are listening to me are better qualified to pay tribute to their work here in St. Patrick's over the past 62 years than I am. Some of you, I feel sure, are dying to have your say, and I would not dare to speak on behalf of two distinguished Old Boys who are here with me on the dais. One of them is distinguished in civic affairs and the other distinguished in the field of education two men who by their presence here today lend a special grandeur to this already grand occasion. I refer, of course, t o the Mayor of Fremantle, Sir Frederick Samson, and the Director for Secondary Training, Mr. Antoine Boylen. I have today blessed the extensions to St. Patrick's and in congratulating Brother Marshall and the other Brothers associated with him on this grand achievement, I congratulate them also on their courage in incurring a debt of some £45,000 in order to provide this extra accommodation. They needed (tourage to embark on thh expansion programme, but their courage rests on the solid foundations of the loyalty of the Old Boys of St. Patrick's and the many friends of the Christian Brothers in this area.
Generous People Here I must pay tribute to the loyalty and generosity of our Catholic people, who down the years have made tremendous sacrifices to build and maintain our schools. At a recent conference of the Australian Council of Schools Organisations the president of the W.A. Federation of Parents and Citizens was reported in "The West Australian" of October 18 as saying that Australian denominational schools would do a great service if they carried out their threat to close down. Let me remind the said Gladwinpresident, Mr. Grove, that our schools were built by sacrifice, they are maintained by sacrifice, and they will alway3 remain open by sacrifice. On the same occasion, Mr. Dunn, a delegate from Victoria, said: "If the Roman Catholic Church wants to get rid of its self-imposed ghettoes it would be the most advanced step Auscould education tralian make." Such an ungentlemanly outburst does not merit respect for either the opinion or education of the said Mr. Dunn — in any case, it is wishful thinking run riot, without actual or possible foundation in fact. As we view the alterations and extensions to St. Pattrick's, we see them as yet
another building with that finesse of architectural design worthy of our wellknown arctitects, Messrs. Henderson and Thompson. With regard to the builder, Mr. Cyril Wildy — well, I hope that he does as good a job on Parliament House as he has done here. If he does, our parliamentarians should be pleased.
Sir Marcus As I looked over the building, I noticed something that would please Sir Marcus Oliphant—St. Patrick's has now got a first-class science hall. The said Sir Marcus seems to labour under the delusion that the Church is the enemy of science and scientists, whereas an educated man like Sir Marcus should know that all down through the centuries the Church has mothered science and scientists. I would draw his attention to the fact that one of the three men who share the 1963 Nobel Prize is one Sir John Carew Eccles of Canberra, a distinguished Australian Catholic layman, the father of nine children, an alumnus of the Newman College within the University of Melbourne, a man who earlier was awarded tie Royal Medal by the Royal Society, Britain premier scientific society. _ Sir Marcus should keep to his field and in this field we will respect him. His recent attack, levelled chiefly at the Catholic Hierarchy, reminds me of what another knight, the famous Don Quixote, did when he attacked a windmill. The mill was quietly grinding corn to make bread for the labourers around the place, but the Don in his imaginations thought that it was a grand castle inhabited by ghosts and goblins who held knights and fair ladies in durance vile — and taking his lance he charged it, and we read that he broke his head against the walls of the windmill.
Goes On Today, with renewed vigour, the Church goes on as it has done down through the centuries, it goes on quietly grinding, as it were, the corn of the Word of God, to make out of it the Bread of Life for men's souls . . . having quietly resisted the attacks of the Don Quixotes of the past, as she will continue to resist the Don Quixotes of the future.

* DESMOND O'GRADY writes from ROME...
PRESS HAND-OUTS ARE CONFUSING
New Stamp Issue
T
HE PRESS covering the Council is dependent on the paraphrases of the speeches issued in the daily communiques. Occasionally these paraphrases are ambiguous and confusing.
CARDINAL BROWNE'S comments at the end of the discussion of the second chapter of "De Ecclesia" were incomprehensible in the communique. The comments of a Polish _ bishop in Church-State relations sounded in summary as if he "wanted interdependence of the two powers whereas those who heard his talk claimed that he wanted separation of Church from State. BISHOP MULDOON of Sydney addressed the 55th General Congregation on October 24 on the chapter of "De Ecclesia" dealing with the laity. His speech vete, reported in the Vatican Council's Press Office bulletin that day as follows: "It is becoming increasingly evident that the contents of this chapter are not worthy of an Ecumenical Council. As it stands, the chapter is a shapeless mass of ideas. Its original sin is that it has no basic theological principle which could serve to organise and unify all its component parts. The text mixes up theological and practical ideas and this is not a succinct and coherent body of doctrine. "Disciplinary and pastoral and practical considerations have no rights of citizenship in a dogmatic constitution. The theological principle which is lacking could well be a clear formulation of the incorporation of the faithful into the Mystical Body and the incorporation of the members among themselves." This summary is probably no worse than most of them. It does not distort what was said, but it certainly gives only a rough idea of Bishop Muldoon's thought. The limitations of summaries when dealing with a debate in which distinctions and nuances are all-important becomes clear aviien the paraphrase is compared with what Bishop Muldoon actually said. Here is his speech: "With all due respect to the authors, it must be said that this third chapter displeases on several counts. Firstly, it sins by defect because it does not have the theological character which is to be expected in a dogmatic constitution. There is no clearly proposed, luminous and vital dogmatic principle which informs it like a soul informs a body. It should clearly indicate the dogmatic foundation of the supernatural dignity of the faithful and the dogmatic foundation of their apostolic activity, so that they will have a clear and profound consciousness of their proper status and their duties within the Church. .:`This is a dogmatic, not a pastoral decree, and it is necessary to proceed in a methodical manner by defining the dogmatic prin-iple from which all the others flow. Surely this is the revealed doctrine of the incorporation of all the f aithful in the Mystical Body and their concorporation among themselves. From this, the laos, the People of God, is born; whoever wishes to consider the People of God without this dogmatic principle as a basis cannot hope to succeed. "From this truth we understand that the faithful belong essentially to the
DUFFY BROS. 235 Newcastle St., Perth.
Church. From this divinely revealed truth we understand what is a lay person in his supernatural being. It is from this alone that we can clearly perceive the basic equality and the basic dignity of all the faithful because by reason of this supernatural unity all of us become one person in Christ. "Moreover, from this doctrine alone, we clearly see that the common initial participation, the sharing in the royal priesthood of Christ, in the prophetic office of Christ, in the victimhood of Christ comes to all members by the very fact that members of Christ share in all the offices and prerogatives of Christ.
Rca 1 Membership "THE fundamental dignity of the laity does not consist in something extrin sic nor is their dedication to the apostolate a mere external deputing to activity, but both rest upon the real ontological, super natural membership in the body of So which Christ is head. each and every thing that pertains to the dignity and status and apostolic activity of the laity flows from this doctrine of the Mystical Body. "The things which are presented in this chapter as principles of doctrine are not such. They are merely consequences of the splendid and vital doctrine of the Mystical Body and that is the reason why the points made in this chapter lack unity, vitality, logical exposition and persuasiveness, and I do not see how such an exposition can awaken in our people a vivid sense of their position in the Church and of their duties to the Church. "What we find ,in this chapter is a farrago of ideas rather than a solid, closely knit body of doctrine. What is a lay persce9 How can we define a lay person? He is not a rare bird as this schema would seem to indicate. I dare to attempt a definition. A layman is a member of the Mystical Body who, living with the life of the head, is consecrated by the sacramental characters of Baptism and Confirmation, and thus becomes a sharer in all the offices of Christ the Head. He is dedicated to the building of the whole body by increasing his own supernatural life and by fulfilling apostolic works under the leadership of his pastors. "In the second place, this whole chapter sins by excess when it comes to speak of activity of the laity.

ciples. Therefore, let us stress the right and duty of the laity to engage in apostolic activity and indeed in all segments of society so that the world may be consecrated by consecrated apostles, but let us absolutely not descend to particular forms of apostolic activity, t o the various modes of the apostolate. These things do not pertain to a dogmatic constitution, but have their rightful place in another schema, that on the lay apostolate. "The fact is that the present schema wavers between two aspects of the apostolate of the faithful, namely, the doctrinal and the practical, without satisfying either. Moreover, juridical questions, for example that of the relations between the Church and the State, should not even be mentioned in this dogmatic constitution, rather they should be avoided like the plague. "In order to heal the chapter at the root, I propose that at the beginning we should have a clear and adequate exposition of the great doctrine concerning the incorporation of the faithful in the Body of Christ and the concorporation of all members among themselves, so that everything else said in the chapter will flow forth spontaneously from the one great dogmatic fountainhead."
Time Problem IT can be seen the bishops manage to say a lot in ten minutes. They are used to being listened to, and about 1,500 have either spoken or submitted their thoughts in writing during this session's discussion on "De Ecclesia." That still leaves a good proportion who have not yet said anything. The 1,500 and more suggestions have to be considered by the Theological Commission and incorporated into the "De Ecclesia" schema before it is resubmitted to the Council. At this rate it seems each schema may take a year, so that by the time the seventeen have been examined, there will be a completely new body of bishops in the hall who will want to reconsider the decisions taken 17 years before--and so on, ad infinitum. The problems of procedure and the length of t he Council are not worrying many Council Fathers. "Some way must be found of getting the true mind of bishops of various hierarchies or regions, possibly through discussions held before coming to the Council hall," said Bishop Muldoon when asked about this problem. "The Council c annot function expeditiously when there is a vast agenda and everyone has a right to talk." Among the many suggestions that have been made t o speed proceedings is that of general congregations on alternate days at which bishops representing regional hierarchies would speak Bishop Muldoon said that the relations between Church and State should be t reated in schema 17 on the Church and the Modern World. It was pointed out that this schema seemed a •carry-all for every urgent question, so it would be of great length. Bishop Muldoon did not agree: "The Council does not have to bring forward proofs of the veracity of
4
its utterances and give lengthy expositions of the doctrines it declares. The Council indicates the mind of the teaching Church. A decree can merely be a series of propositions that shows forth the crystallised thought of bishops on any particular question." Wasn't the time for dogmatic definitions past and didn't this Council have a particular character as an expression of the Church going out of itself towards the world? "I believe the Council should prepare a document," said Bishop Muldoon, "which will make an impact on the whole of mankind and will set its course for the next five hundred years. It would be a positive statement on Man, on his natural dignity, on his supernatural vocation, on man in the world." Hadn't these things been said in the encyclicals? Cardinal Suenens was keen on such a statement in schema 17, but he was worried that they would not say anything beyond what has already been said by the Popes. "It could be a distillation of the encyclicals," said Bishop Muldoon, "but the Council speaks with much greater weight than the encyclicals."
first DURING the C ouncil
s ession journalists who were out and about uncommonly early saw Council Fathers being whisked past on their way to the Council. During the second session, they occasionally follow the chauffeur - driven Council Fathers' cars to St. Peter's as they can assist at the Mass which precedes the daily session. The buses carrying the bishops pass between barricades which close off St. Peter's Square and drive to the steps in front of the basilica. The bishops in private cars are dropped at a side entrance to the basilica. Inside, a red and purple crowd search for their places in the tribunes. Some bishops kneel in prayer before a side altar; one is at confession. A bell rings, the Council Fathers take their places and the Mass begins. On this occasion, it is in the Ukrainian- Byzantine Rite and the celebrant is Monsignor Slipyi, the Archbishop who was released last year — after 14 years' imprisonment in Russia. He celebrates Mass on a simple altar facing the two tiers of Council Fathers. Behind him are the four moderators and in a row behind them the presidents of the Council. There is more cardinalate red at the head of the left tier. Opposite those cardinals are the patriarchs. Alongside the patriarchs are the observers, hard by the statue or St. Peter which is splendidly robed. St. Peter has a beehive-shaped headpiece which seems covered with gold thread. It is similar to that of Monsignor Slipyi and the two Ukrainian bishops assisting him.

The Vatican City Post Office has released a new issue of four postage stamps, designed to commemorate the coronation of Pope Paul VI on June 30, 1963. Shown are two vertical designs. The 15-lire and the 115 lire depict the pope wearing the triple crown and rais;ng his hand in blessing. The 40-lire and the 200lire show the coat-of-arms of Pope Paul VI. All stamps have the date of the coronation.

Monsignor Slipyi has a magnificent vestment with wide sleeves in which there are white crosses on a black background. The rite proceeds slowly and solemnly with some singing which might be from the depths of a Siberian mine—Surely Monsignor Slipyi must be comparing it with other Masses offered in very different circumstances. The Council Fathers say t he Credo out loud—at first the voices are disparate, but then they unify and it is the voice of a young man. When Communion is given, a woman tries to approach the altar but she is shushed away. Some bishops who missed the bus appear in the tribune behind the main altar —they will make a beeline for places when the Mass is over. Some of the "periti." the experts, are perched in the boxes above the tiers, but others stand about behind the altar. The Gospel is enthroned and then "Exeunt Omnes" — dozens of seminarians walk out with the journalists. There is time only for a last look along those tiers to the far ends where the bishops are tiny figures. Near at hand, Cardinal Rugambwa stands out for his blackness; he might seem incongruous if it were not for the statue of St. Peter opposite, which is just a s black.

tion to sanctify in the Church. He said that the success of the whole Council will depend on the fervour of sanctity it inspires in the clergy and the faithful. He asked for a greater emphasis on the duty of sanctity for bishops as examples to clergy and faithful. He further suggested that the schema recognise that secular priests are in a "state of perfection." Finally, Cardinal Gilroy said that certain expressions should be eliminated f rom the schema as they are diffciult for the Council Fathers and hence would be difficult for the faithful.

RECORD
Eucharistic Belief Of The Apostles
By the
Rev. Dr. Rumble
"ANGLICAN," FAR WEST, Writes: Dealing with the Roman Catholic doctrine of trans substantiation, Archdeacon Hammond says in his booklet, "The Case for Protestantism" ( p. 18) : "At the Last Supper, it is hard to believe that the Apostles understood Christ to mean the Eucharist was his real body, while they could see Him there before them."
ECUMENICAt CONCESSIONS
"DISTURBED CATHOLIC," MELBOURNE writes: Favourable reviews by Catholics, defending the book "Honest to God" by the Anglican Bishop Robinson, of Woolwich, have shocked me into asking whether we ordinary lay Catholics have to accept this new subjective type of religion, now so fashionable, in order to fit in with the Ecumenical Movement. R.: I dealt with that last week, and my answer was no; but I added that the reviews by Catholics were probably not as favourable as your fears led you to imagine, that not all Catholics by any means—nor all Anglicans for that matter—commended the book; and I can add now that the reviewers in any case were expressing personal opinions and not authoritative decisions. Cardinal Bea, head of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, has made it abundantly clear that no principles essential to Catholicsm can possibly be sacrificed, or even mitigated. for reasons of ecumenical expediency.
CATHOLIC STABILITY Q.: If so, where do I go now after haying, as a convert. set my feet on the "Rock of Peter?" R.: You stay put, just as all other Catholics, converts or not. Like you,I too am a convert, having attained to the faith of all other Catholics—a faith which includes unwavering belief that Our Lord meant it when He said: "I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18), and "Behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world" (Matt. 28:20). In other words, our faith includes the conviction that the Catholic Church is indefectible; and as St. Peter said to Christ: "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life" (Jn. 6:69), we say the same to the Catholic Church in its own sphere as representing Our Lord by His own decree. You can be quite sure that the "Rock of Peter" is not going to crumble beneath your feet.
A DIVINELY-REVEALED RELIGION
Q.: To most lay Catholics, the Catholic religion is Godcentred and objective. It transcends self. R.: To all Catholics—as long as they remain Catholics —the Catholic religion, taken objectively, is something "given" by God and not created by men for themselves. It supposes a body of divinely-revealed truths and precepts entrusted to the Catholic Church established, c ommissioned, and guaranteed by Christ for their preservation and propagation in this world. A t the same time, subjectively, it supposes faith in it and fidelity to it on our part. The Catholic religion. therefore, is essentially both institutional objectively and personal subjectively; but in the personal sense our Catholicism is authentitc only in so far as it is in con-

formity with Catholicism in its objective and institutional sense. Q.: The new ideas of Christianity, based on an ephemeral modern philsophy (here today and tomorrow cast into the oven) seems to be a "me-centred- self -worship— God existing to serve "me." R.: To some it may seem like that, as apparently to the Anglican Bishop Robinson, of Woolwich. But no Catholics—as long as they remain Catholics—accept such an outlook; and many of Bishop Robinson's fellow Anglicans certainly do not. Q.: Christianity has been described as the "Me-Chr:strelationship; and we are told by our separated brethren that that is all that matters. Creeds are to be accepted only in a symbolical way, and the gospels also. R.: Not all non-Catholics think in such a way: and no Catholics do so or will ever be called upon to do so. A famour French writer, Augustin Thierry, a onetime unbeliever, who died on May 22. 1856. said towards the end of his life: "I am a historian, a tired rationalist. who submits himself to the Cathol:c Church. I see the facts; I perceive in history the manifest need of an Authority, divine and visible, if the life of mankind is to grow and thrive. Now all that exists outside the Catholic Church is of no authority. The sects are nothing but an oblivion, disregard and contempt of history. Therefore, the Catholic Church is the authority I was seeking and to her I yield. I believe what she teaches: I accept her credo." You, as a convert—and I. too.—have made that same decision; and it will never be possible for us to discover any sound reason for deciding otherwise. You can be quite sure of that.
IMM kCILATE CONCEPTION MISUNDERSTOOD D.M., 1VELLINGTON, New Zealand, writes: In replying to a query on the Blessed Virgin Mary' Concep"Immaculate tion,- you said, among other things. that the doctr:ne concerns her soul. not her body. That it did not concern her body I believe to be erroneous. R.: The explanation to which you object was given on May 5 last. A listener who was a Baptist. misled by the word "conception," thought Catholics believe Mary herself to have been conceived miraculously, her body being formed by the power of God within her mother, without the intervention of any human father. I pointed out to my listener that the conception of Christ occurred in such a way, but not the bodily Her conception of Mary. bodily conception was in the normal and natural way, her father and mother being traditionally known as St. Joachim and St. Anne. And I further explained that the Catholic doctrine of Mary's "Immaculate Conception- referred to her soul, not to any miraculous origin of her body.
A CATHOLIC'S MISAPPREHENSION Q.: To think of Our Lady as
a soul which God created immaculate but, alas, with a body to which thi glorious gift does not ap ply, contradicts, to my mind, the very intimate unity which constitutes a human being, namely. of both soul and body.
R.: To deny that, the doctrine of the "Iminacalate any meant Conception" miraculous bcx.itly and explain its meaning to be that at, the time when Mary was conceived she was preserved immaculate or free from inherited orginal sin, and constituted .in a state of grace — sin and grace being of their very nature spiritual conditions proper to the soul and not the body—in no way conflicts with the fact that in human beings soul and body are united in such a
way as to constitute a single human person; nor does it at all imply any de-
fects as regards the body of Mary, nor that her body had not privileges in its own sphere deriving from the immaculate soul with which it, was combined to form
the complete and truly human personality of Mary the Mother of Christ.
R..: That the Apostles saw Him still there before their eyes makes it hard to believe that they understood precisely in what way the bread became His real body; it does not make it hard to believe that they understood Christ to mean exactly what He said. After all, Our Lord had not left them unprepared for this moment. Twelve months earlier He had promised to give His flesh to eat under the form of bread. They remembered how some of His disciples till then left Him, with the declaration on their lips: "This saying is bard and who can hear it?" (Jn. 6:61); and how, when Our Lord asked the others: "Will you also go away?" St. Peter had replied as their spokesman: "Lord, to whom shall we go Thou hast the words of
of the senses; and the Apostles certainly did so in regard to the Eucharist. They could not be ranked among those whom St. Paul declared to be guilty of "not discerning the body of the Lord" (I Cor. 11:29). . Archdeacon Hammond's sympathies, however, were with the disciples I mentioned earlier and who refused to believe, turning away with the words: "This is a hard saying and who, can hear it?" Incidentally, in "The Anglican," August 12, 1960, the reviewer of Hammond's booklet, "The for Protestantism," Case said: "The doctrine of Transubstantiation is attacked. but never from a theological or philosophical angle:" and: "Some of his remarks about the Real Presence are in bad taste and will give offence to many ordinary members of the Church of England."
eternal life." i3n. 6: 6R-69). LAST A FTER SUPPER
Also, in His discourse immediately after the Last Supper. Christ took care to impress on them what faith in a mysterious truth despite external appearances really means. Philip, who with all the others undoubtedly believed in the Divinity of Christ although they saw only His visible humanity there before them, said to Him: "Lord, show us the Father." Our Lord replied: "Philip. he that seeth me seeth the Father also . . . Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me?" (Jn. 14:910). The lesson was obviously that they must rise by faith above the mere level

THE
"Archduke" Makes Up For The Rest The TRIO DI BOLZANO, last Friday week, was due to play three piano trios— the lightweight Mozart in G Major, K564, the even lighter Schumann in G Minor, a n d Beethoven's "Archduke," in that order. At the last moment, they switched and played the "Archduke" first and the others after the interval. From ease of playing, it was no doubt better to take the most difficult first and tnen relax with the others, but hearing them was quite another matter, for the concert proceeded steadily downhill instead of building to a climax.
and mutual understanding that the players stood, as it were, on one side and let Beethoven speak to us directly. I can think of no greater compliment than that.—H.S.G.
BEATIFICATION SCHEDULED
To deal with the lesser trios first, the Schumann lacks discipline to such an extent that it is little better than a series of tuneful moods. Schumann fails to achieve what Schubert did so gloriously, for with Schubert, the music is so enchanting that form can go hang.
Soon, however, the players began to show that they knew and loved every note of this masterpiece. They played with such sympathy

Survival Of Christianity In World Is Summer School Theme
COULD HAVE LISTENED ALL IGHT
The Mozart proved to be all form with very little inside; when Mozart is merely "galant," is needs very great skill to make him come alive and this the Bolzano Trio failed to do. This leaves us with the "Archduke," possibly the greatest piano trio in the literature. Anyone who has the old classic recording of Cortot, Thibaud and Casals has a tendency to be spoilt for any other performance and perhaps because of this. I felt there was looseness in the first few minutes, particularly from the pianist.
R ECORD
THE RITA STREICH RECITAL AT THE CAPITOL LAST TUESDAY WEEK WAS REMARKABLE IN TWO WAYS, APART FROM THE PERFORMANCE ITSELF. First, the theatre was almost full—a rare happening for a classical recital and a happy tribute to a wonderful singer — and, secondly, the choice of items was so unusual that only one song. "When Love is Kind," was familiar to most of the audience and even that was billed as an English "folk" song — which, of course, it isn't. While personally I delighted in the programme, it should be remarked that unknown works by the great masters are unknown usually because they are second-class and a sprinkling of favourites (say, one in four) would have made a better balanced programme. As it was, the well-known songs which Miss Streich gave as encores were applauded more vigorously than the main programme, although perhaps the applause whs not entirely disinterested for the enthusiastic audience could have gone on listening all night. The first half of the recital was by far the more enjoyable and gave more scope for coloratura singing, notably Handel's Scena to Milton's poem, "Sweet Bird that Shun'st the Noise of Folly," for soprano and obbligato flute. The singer's clarity and purity of tone was matched exquisitely by the flute (played by Owen Eissenden) and her musical intelligence brought both Handel and Milton very much to life in spite of it being sung in German. Similarly a wordless song by Saint-Saens, "The Nightingale and the Rose," showed Miss Streich at her best. The lieder in the second
The recital concluded with some folksongs taken from different countries. All these were sung impeccably, but I couldn't help feeling that one of the few sopranos in the world who can really sing the arias of the Queen of the Night from "The Magic Flute," was making molehills when she could have been climbing mountains.—H.S.G.

Tribute To Late Singer At Concert BEFORE BEGINNING LAST WEEK'S YOUTH CONCERT, THE LAST IN THE 1963 SERIES CONDUCTED BY THE A.B.C., THE ORCHESTRA AND CONDUCTOR. JOHN FARNSWORTH HALL, PAID A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE LORNA McKEAN WHEN THEY PLAYED ONE OF HER FAVOURITE PIECES. "JESU. JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING," BY BACH. Miss McKean, who died recently after a long illness, was for a time the leading singer with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. Commenting on her achievements, Mr. Farnsworth Hall said that she was a superb artist and would be a great loss to the music world. CARRIED ALONG The concert began with Arnold's "Tam O'Shanter" overture in which the orchestra managed to convey a feeling of excitement, of being carried along with the intoxicated Tam O'Shanter on his homeward road from the inn.
the finale to the work in which most of the animals reappear for their final roar, t witter, dance or bray.
The remainder of the concert consisted of a number of shorter, more well-known pieces, including Korsakov's "The Flight of the Bumble Bee."
Pianists Stephen Dornan and Michael Brimer joined the orchestra for Mozart's "Concerto No. 10 in E flat Major" for two pianos and orchestra. This was not a very likely affair. Their playing seemed lightweight, lacking in attack ond conviction. Mr. Brimer's tone was perhaps the nicer of the two.
This overture begins slowly with a string unison which forms a background for a characteristic atmosphere created mainly by the woodwinds and brass.
ENTHUSIASTIC After the interval, the t wo pianists returned for "The Carnival of Animals" by the French composer Saint-Saens, in which we heard the lions roar and asses raced madly up and down the pianists' keyboards, while tortoises dawdled to two tunes from Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld," which were played in a somewhat lagging tempo.
Berlioz's colourful orchestration in his "The Royal Hunt and Storm," from the opera "The Trojans of Carthage," was rendered with effusive virtuosity.
Throughout this work the humour was overcome by subdued charm. The orchestra was rewarded with an enthuisastic ovation from the audience and repeated

YOUR COLOURING-N COMPETITION
DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS, Much as I hate to do this, but the resent colouring competition closes p Tuesday morning's mail November on The results of the competition will 1 2. in given next week's page. So if you be want to be in it, then you must hurry w ith your entry and remember that Monday is a holiday. I know that all of you wil l be getting r eady for exams from now on and I c ould not expect you to be working out c ompetitions so after this one we will have a short break until the exams are over. However I wi ll try to work something each week for you to work on, but not in competition. I hope you have not forgotten the Holy Souls during this month of November. The whole month is dedicated to them, not just Al l Souls Day. Three letters came in this week. Marilyn Smith wrote to give me an idea for a competition. Why not send your effort in Marilyn? With the exams approaching, it might take too much time out of study for the senior members of the JRs. I would be interested in reading what you have to say and could possibly use it in the page. Kaye Chappell, all the way from Mellewa, wrote to give us all the news from those parts. They had a successful mission in the parish and also Confirmation at which Kaye and her brother were confirmed with 48 other children. I hope your younger sister was not too sick, Kaye. It takes a while for the stamps to come from New Guinea, so your brother wi l l have to be patient for o while. Reports say that they are pretty good stamps that Brother Milne sends down. David Malacari wrote to tell me a bout a picnic they had recently. 1 hope you enjoyed yourselves, David. It must have been a bit cold in that creek. That is all I have for this week, so God bless you all, Brother Juniper. Please fill in the coupon below in BIG Lk.iIeRS and send it to Brother Juniper, -The Junior Record." 450 Hay Street. Perth. so that When your birthday comes around he may greet you on this page.
