Combined Parent Groups Prepare For Campaign On Education

REPRESENTATIVES of Parents and Friends' Associations and similar organisations met in Melbourne last weekend All States were represented except South Australia at this conference sponsored by the Australian Parents' Council of the Advancement of Education

THE conferenee calleel for a system of annual Federal Government grants to assist in teaching costs in nonGovernment schools,

In particular, the conference asked for special grants to ALL schools to overcome urgent needs; annual grants for teacher training for all teachers; a $ for $ subsidy for building and equipment

In a statement released by the conference, it stated that, "It is the conviction of this Australia-wide meeting that education for every child must concern all Governments It was re vealed that a figure approaching 200 000 Catholic children now attend State schools, that the increasing demand on Catholic schools plus population trends show that this number must inerease rapidly The Federal Government must move realistically not only in the interest of the child but most certainly in the national good"

Representatives were from the Federation of Catholic Parents and Friends, Sydney, and the NSW Association for Educational Free-

dom; Parents and Friends Federation of Queensland; Federation of Parents and Friends of Catholic Schools of Tasmania; Victorian Federation of Catholic Mothers' Clubs and the Parents and Friends Federation of Victoria and the Parents and Friends Federation of Western Australia,

The statement further noted that the policy of this Federal body prior to the Federal Election, will be presented to the Federal Government and to the leaders of all Parliamentary parties It will document the practicabilities and the economics of their policy

ALL MEMBERS

It also stated that the policy will be discussed by parent representatives with every member of State Parliament Federal Parliament and every candidate for the November election The State Executive will confer with the State leaders of each party and meet the Parliamentary leaders of each party The statement concluded that when the education policies for this coming election have been announced each State organisation w A FROM

RESIGNATION NOT ACCEPTED

News of the refusal was printed by Bologna's Catholic daily, "L'Avvenire d'Italia"

DOPE PAUL VI has re- Cardinal Lercaro had fused an offer by an hour-and-a-half au dience with the Pope, Giacomo Cardinal Ler- a@cording to LAvvecaro of Bologna, Italy, nire d'Italia," during to resign from his See which the Pope asked the Cardinal to retain his See and also continue as president of the Vatican Consilium for Implementing Liturgical Reform

The paper said the Pope after receiving Cardinal Lercaro's resignation, wrote to him expressing appreciation of the motives that led the Cardinal to offer to resign, but asked to discuss the matter with him personally

ESSAY

The Pope said: "Con tinue If you need help we shall give it. But continue now to give yourself to the episcopal service of the Church"

Cardinal Lercaro s quoted as saying after the audience: "I am here to continue work until the Lord calls me or un til the Holy Father ends it The blank cheque' I had put into the hands of the Holy Father is still valid as an act of unconditional adhesion to the will of the Second Vatican Council as laid down in the motu proprio, Ecclesiae Sanctae and as placing my humble person at the disposition of the higher interests of the Church

Achille Cardinal Lienart of Lille, 82, has announced he is leaving the exercise of diocesan authority henceforth to CoadjutorBishopAdrien Gand, 59

But the Cardinal has not resigned and is not leaving the diocese of Lille He had offered to retire earlier but Pope Paul VI had answered: "Remain at your post and, since you have a coadjutor have him work extensively near you for the good of the diocese" Bishop of Lille since 1928 and a Cardinal since, 1930 Cardinal Lienart is one of the oldest members of the French hierarchv and the oldest French Car dinal

WASHED OUT

Offer Made On Mission

,' Anglican missionary bishop said in London that the Church of England is ready and able to co-operate with Catholics in strengthening Christianity in Latin America.

Bishop Eric Trapp secretary of the Anglican United Societv for the Propagation of the Gospel, said that over the past three years Anglican missionaries from English-speaking countries, including Canada and the United States, have set up their own dioceses in Chile Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador Brazil Peru and Venezuela

The Catholic Church he said has admitted that it is reaching only between five and ten per cent of Latin America's 200 000 000 population Many are turning to pagan sects and the shortage of priests is enormous he added How far the Anglicans can help has not yet been worked out he stated. The bishop, referring to the Sacred Congregation of Religious report on the religious crisis in Latin America said that his Church is at present "only thinking aloud

Juan Rivas Navas, one of the best swordmakers in city known foritsgold, silver and steel products announced that his firm had supplied 40 new dress swords to the Papa! Noble Guard The guard forms a ceremonial escort for the Pope

We definitelv will not try to convert Latin America To try to com pete with another Church would be intolerable in the ecumenical age"

He said he felt Angli cans should have a ministrv" to other Churches in the region Pentecostal churches have been growing there faster than any other church in Christendom,he added These churches had in the past been cut off from other Christian churches but they are moving out of their isolation and have joined the World Coun cil of Churches

Bishop Trapp said Anglicans are considered to be "the bridge church" between Catholicism and Protestantism "Today I believe we can in South America interpret the Catholic and Pentecostal Churches to each other"

He recalled that last January a Catholic priest was sent as official observer to an Anglican conference at Sao Paulo, Brazil This priest gave them "the warmest of welcomes" and Jaime Cardinal de Barros Camera of Rio de Janeiro also visited the meeting to greet the Anglicans

NO MENTION IN BUDGET

THERE WAS A SURPRISING OMISSION FROM THE BUDGET SPEECH

DELIVERED BY THE PREMIER AND TREASURER, MR BRAND, LAST WEEK

One would have thought that the time was not only opportune but demanded by the pressing problems of the day in an important State function to make a statement on some improvement in the question of justice in education Even a further step in the right direction would have been understandable

Unfortunately for the good of the State in this vital matter nothing was said or even promised

Three otherStates have made an improvement in their budgets, albeit two of them made a somewhat niggardly improvement in their giving of further justice in the distribution of taxes used for educational purposes

But yet the problem at least saw the light of day

through devious means to raise money for our booming" State and yet none of this, which will eventually come from the wage-earner's pocket, will come to the assistance of our heavily pressed schools It seems incomprehensible

Ms.P. Lag Behind Public Opinion

ITHINK most delegates here today would ·agree that in the public mind the question of whether

non-government schools should receive financial

"State Aid" is here to stay

The principle has, in ment's Science Grants, fact, now been accepted made to all schools, withby all major political out discrimination, repre- parties, and I believe this sented a welcome breakis a reflection of the peo· through, and certain pie's recognition of the States have made other role of the non-govern- significant advances, parment schools in educat- ticularly in the field of ing Australian children bursaries for secondary and of our general belief'pupils It remains true, in a 'fair go' for all chil however, that pupils atdren ,[tending non-government

lustrated in the budgets of our two most populous States Though the education estimate in New South Wales was increased by $15 8 million, the non - government schools had to be content with a $200,000 share of it by way of an extension of the interest subsidy scheme, although of course all children are entitled to the new transport allowances for private buses There was even less to enthuse about in the Victorian budget Of the extra $17 million allocated to education this year, the Government's gesture to the non-government schools was to double the interest subsidy-an extra $100,000.

We agree that the science grants and the interest subsidies were first steps and on this we have and do congratulate the respective Governments But as a parent I have to state that the time for the tentative steps has passed, and I can only

In this State, further demands were " READERs, opINIoN

Perhaps the climate has to be pre-election, like that for the Federal Government,, before some promise, that can be tied down to action later on is made

cept it I suggest that, at present public opinion is still ahead of our politicians for there is a strong demand in our community for more finance for all educationand for finance for both government and nongovernment schools For if the principle is no longer an issue, then Government implementation inpractice remainstardy PORCHESSHOULDBEUSED

give my judgment that in effect the non-government schools in New South Wales and Victoria fell behind this year a further $8 to $10 million in their claim for equity

As a Victorian I am not heartened by the fact that part of this increased educationnote is to be financed by a tax on electricity and gas a tax which no doubt will be passed on in due course to parents of both government and non-governmentschoolchildrenwithout discrimination! It must be stated clearly and emphatically that it is our belief that nongovernment schoolchildren are entitled to receive their fair share of Government education finance It may well be impossible to correct 90 years of history overnight, but the time has come when further increases must be made on the basis of an equitable distribution for all children I believe that the education needs of the majorpartofnon-government schoolchildren demand this and thatpublic opinionsupports it Pupilteacher ratios remain too high, while the inability • • • of these schools to accept www«we pl] pulp1ls seelnle admn)ls sion means that the gov- minutes asking favour ernment schools' difficulfrom God without being res are being increased disturbed by innocent,'eS ·[l th g [begin to learn children and innocent;by the extra pupis ey

generally can convince our politicians that we regard education as vital ly important It can only weaken the case of go ernment school parents to seek extra assistance for their schools while denying any assistance to the education of the other quarter of Austra lian children And there is no point in non-govern ment school parents ask ing for assistance for their schools and closing their eyes to the real needs of the government sector

Education in Australia surely doesn't mean building new universities and I wonder if todaytoo much emphasis isn't be. ing put on the tertiary field, while the primary and secondary are conveniently kept out of sight All sections of the community must join to gether with parents and teachers to ensure that adequate finance - and that appears to mean Federal financeis avail able for the two and a half million children who attend primary, secondary and technical schools in Australia May I suggest that the time is due for the setting up of a national education authority that will review education as a whole Having determined priorities, such a body could make recommen dations which any Gov ernment would be oblig ed to act upon irrespective of the level of education or the type of school involved

ance

The problem of education today in all spheres, Government and non-Government, is too vital for the good of the country for these negative actions or token gestures

No one will deny that much has been achieved by men of goodwill in the recent past to do something about this great problem There are many advantages enjoyed by non-Government schools today which their predecessors of earlier years asked for in vain By the same token, Government schools enjoy many things today because the total education finance has been theirs to use over all these years

Nevertheless this is no reason to imagine that the matter is solved and need not have a place in such an important document as the State Budget for the ensuing year

SThe dear little children! Their innocence, their laughter,their cries, their sighs and tears, their frolicsomeness, the tap-tap of their running feet and even their little fightsall this is taken to be lovingly accepted in the words of Our Lord when He said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me" Tenderly inviting them thus, would He have us do otherwise? Let the children be always welcome in the church to run about and play freely as if they were in their own homes If, as it sometimes happens, a child is moody and abnormally troublesome in church, it can always be pacified and soothed And the wise mother who takes a child outside for a while to do so need have no fear of being neglectful of Mass in the eyes of God, for He makes the greatest allowances where duty and charity intervene It is a fact that differ ent things distract and affect different people differently For instance, to some the sound of the organ in a church with the accompaniment of best choir could be very distracting; while to others it could be a great help to devotion, filling one, as it were, with the feeling of being transported to higher realms above What would you do about it? The Church will give the right an swer Similarly, children in church could be a great distraction to some, but not at all to others What is to be done in this case? Picture yourself being given charge of some children composed of Our Lord Himself and His playmates when they were little, and you will know the answer Yours, etc, C H CALLANAN, Tuart Hill

JESUIT priest's report of living conditions amongprimitiveMexicanIndianshastouched off an international uproar and national disputes over the Mexican government's aid to rural residents

The commotion began when Father Luis Verplancken, SJ, visited somefriends in Louisiana and told them about the miserable conditions of squalor, diseases and starvationexisting among the Indians of his Tarahumara mission

A local television commentator in Lafayette reported on the priest's visit and apparently amplified his description of the situation

Stating that more than a hundred Indians die

each day in the rural areas of Chihuahua State, the television announcer asked for donations of relief supplies The dona tions came ten railway trucks full, and so did a lot of

OBJECTION

The Mexican government objecting to the charges of negligence and offended by the relief offer, refused the help and stopped the train at the border The supplies

are waiting on a railway siding in El Paso, Texas

In the meantime, investigations have shown that the Indians' situation is desperate Father Verplancken speaking to interviewers, said that the TV report was a gross exaggeration of his own statement. "On the other hand," the priest added "that is a very isolated region There is no census and no communication The death rate is very high and it may reach a hundred a day We would never know it it did"

OBSERVERS

CATHOLICs in Austria are protesting against a proposal to abolish one of the traditional Catholic feast days in favour of a work-free holiday on October 26, the national holiday which commemorates the end of Allied occupation in 1955

Some months ago government officials asked the Church to eliminate the feast of the Immaculate Conception or that of the Assumption in favour of the national holiday The members of the Austrian Bishops' Conference refused and later rejected proposals to eliminate All Saints' Day or the feast of Corpus Christi

The opinion of Catholics is that the Austrian industrial situation is good enough to allow for an additional annual non-work day without compensating for it by the elimination of a traditional Catholic feast day

Hector Valles, Chihuahua State Secretary of State, has denied all reports of starvation But observers sent to the scene by Mexican relief groups have come up with horrifying and detailed reports of constant malnutrition, ro o f l es s homes and almost total illiteracy

Accordingto Chihuahua tourism director Ramiro Uranga the problem now is to recognise the good that has been done by the government to admit that a great deal has yet to be done and to somehow get the supplies to theTarahumaras without any more embarrass ment to the Mexican government, the missionaries of the area and the people who donated them

Church

Moves

A movable church to test community needs and suitable sites in new housing areas was recommended by a study group for the Anglican diocese of Chichester

:: With Pride

Seating about a hundred persons and including a simple vestibule with lavatories, a vestry office and store the small movable building would allow experimentation with internal arrangements, and would thus provide experience useful in briefing an architect for thechurch that would replace it

This plan the group said, would also provide the time necessary to form a recognisable pastoral body determine a battern of community worship and help to decide a realistic financial olan for building a permanent church

The permanent buildings would then be the result of more accurate liturgical social and financial assessments than would have been possible had they been erected first, the study group said

The temporary building would then be dismantled serviced and moved to a new site to restart its role

Archaeologist

Defends Church Scholars

A-X iscaeli archuenlogi,t has denied in Bomb .-' I that Catholic scholars have been responsible for holding up publication of material and studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls lest they be prejudicial to Christian'ty Yigael Yadin, professor The scrolls discovered of Hebrew in the Hebrew by the 1961 expedition University in Jerusalen under Dr Yadin were beand head of a group o''lieved to surpass in immore than 150 scholars portance anything unand volunteers who in covered up to that time 1951 discovered a new in Israel and Jordan re hoard of the scrolls, also lating to the period of said that his book on th Simon Bar-Kochba, leascrolls will be out by the der of the last Jewish reend of the year and he volt against the Romans planned to lecture soon in the second century in the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome

Dr Yadin made these remarks at the end of a lecture on the excavations at Masada on which he had spent 11 months

MORE LIGHT

He said that the find o° further scrolls at Masada threw more light on the date of writing of the Dead Sea Scrolls and on the character of the sect of Jews who wrote them and who had also such close connections with the crigins of Christianity

He said he feels sure that the Dead Sea Scrolls were written around the time of the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus and that their authors were Essenes, who lived not in Qumran but also in Masada

MONASTERY HOUSING

Pravda, Soviet commu nist party paper has stug gested that old, unuseci monasteries be restored to create accommodation for tourists

The discovery of about a foot of destruction debris under the walls that So I omo n built around the city of Gezer was termed the most significant find unearthed during thesummer by an expedition of which a St Mary's University, Texas, professor was a member Father George T Mortague, associate professor of sacred doctrine at St Mary's took part in a seven-week study tour in the Holy Land and Gezer on a grant from Hebrew Union College as a menber of the summer Instiute of Near East Civilisations

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen Discusses IQUIIY AND WOMAN

IS WOMAN ATTAINING HER FULL DIGNITY BY INSISTING ON EQUALITY, OR SHOULD SHE BE INSISTING ON EQUITY ?

EQUITY is the perfection of equality, not its substitute It has the advantage of recognising the specific difference between a man and a woman which equality does not have As a matter of fact, they are not equal in sex; they are unequal and it is because of this that they complement one another Law takes care of exactness or equality, but equity goes beyond it and considers the particular circumstances which might extenuate an extreme application of law In the Christian ages, there were courts of equity, as well as courts of law-the former have almost passed out of our contemporary civilisation

In the Cathedral of Chartres, there are two sets of priceless stained glass windows on either side of that magnificent edifice One was given by Blanche of Castile the other by her rival family Pierre de Dreux As these families face one another vicariously through their windows they seem to carry on a kind cf war in the very heart of the cathedral

But over the main altar sits the Virgin Mary as the Lady of Equity presiding over the courts, listening serenely to pleas for mercy on behalf of sinners Ste signifies the humane and merciful power, as against the stern mandates of law

LAW has broken down today Obligations are na longer sacred The choice, therefore, before women in this day in the collapse of justice is whether to continue equat-

ing themselves with men in rigid exactness,or to affirm equity, mercy and love, thus giving a cruel and lawless world something that equality can never give Where there is equality, there is justice, but there is no love If man is the equal of woman, then she has rightsbut no heart ever lived on rights

The level of any civilisation is the level of its womanhood This is because of the basic difference between knowing and loving When we know anything, we always bring it down to the level of our intelligence In instructing children we given simple examples drawn from our own experience But in loving, then we bring the object up to our level.

If we love music, we submit to its discipline its scales its rhythms; if we love a person, we meet the demands of a person When a man loves a woman then it follows that the nobler the woman the nobler the will be the love of a man The higher the demands made by the woman, the more worthy that man must be That is why every woman is the measure of the level of our civilisation

WHAT is contributing to the degrading of women is intellectualisation of sex The English novelist, John Osborne, says that America is a "sexual nuthouse" An English anthropologist Eric Dingwaals, says: The United States is almost, if not quite, the most sex-obsessed country in the world"

Today it is thought about, placarded, advertised in a kind of erotic pyrotechnics As Professor Crane Brinton savs in his History of Western Morals" "It may be true that 'homo sapiens' spend more time and energy fantasying, thinking, talking and writing about sex than doing anything else about it"

Many people are driven to sex as a kind of refuge from or compensation for other frustrations, as they might be driven to drink or opium There is less a desire for another than there is a demand to escape from anxiety One may even attempt to make the intensity of an experience make up for a want of goal or purpose in life as youngsters speed on highways for the same reason

Sex is replaceable but a person is not

As the American Jesuits are by far the most active in education it is a good idea to use their experience But a Jesuit from a progressive country does not necessarily make a progressive administrator

Fathers Swain (Can ada) and Small (Oregon), both Assistants, Dhanis (Belgium), Joseph Gill (England, rector of the Oriental Institute) and Francis Furlong (Milwau kee, rector of the Bellar mino College) could just as well be Aztecs for all the openness they have absorbed from their so cieties

The Irish priest lamented "the small degree of intercommunication" between teachers of philosophy on Catholic and secular campuses in the United States His nationwide survey indicates that whereas only 85 per cent of the Catholic scholars received their doctorates on American secu lar campuses, 26 per cent took their PhD s at Catholic universities in Europe "where for many decades past there has been a lively dialogue with the surrounding secular philosophies"

"Until very recently, then," Father .McMullin reports "the point of contact and dialogue between US Catholic teachers of philosophy and secular philosophy was much more likely to be European; the contact between US Catholic universities (where the great majority of PhD's were awarded) and the prevailing empiricismnaturalism of their secular US counterparts has been for many reasons minimal"

Father McMullin based his findings on a questionnaire sent last April to the chairmen of departments of philosophy of every college and university listed in the Catholic Directory

The response represented about 70 per cent of the teaching effort in philosophy in U.S Catholic institutions of higher learning

NO HOPE FOR TRAINEE SALARIES

Senator Gorton was giving the Royal Institute of Public Administration Endowed Lecture for 1966 in the Abel Smith Lecture Theatre at Queensland Unversity

His subject was "The Commonwealth's Role in Education"

He said that teacher training colleges comprised the only tertiary field the Commonwealth had not yet entered

He did not think the Commonwealth wou 1 d ever enter the field to give recurrent assistance

Seminary

HE pro-prefect or the Congregation of Seminaries and Universities has given the world's seminary rectors a cautious green light for "experimentation" in implementing the documents of the Second Vatican Council

In a special conference on September 30 with seminary rectors attending the International Theological Congress in Rome, Archbishop Gabriel Garrone set three conditions for experimentation in matters such as liturgical renewal:

• No experimentation is to go beyond the prin ciples laid down by the Council;

• Rectors are to keep the congregation inform ed of the nature of their experiments;

• They are to introduce nothing which is "ir-

THREE POINTS

Archbishop Gar ro n e said that a letter would be sent from his congregration to seminary rectors "in the near future" stressing three points reform of the "ratio studiorum" or standard curriculum for seminaries t h ro u gho ut the world; a request that rectors assign members of their faculties to work directly with the congregation on this reform; and a request for suggestions on "federation" designed to form closer links between smaller seminaries in the same area The congregation has been slow in coming out with any statement to rectors Archbishop Garrone said, because it wanted first of all to get some "feedback" on how the Council's Declaration on Christian Education was being received, and also to enlist the help of rectors themselves and get their ideas on the work of the congregation "in the spirit of the Council."

In his talk, Archbishop Garrone stressed the importance in the seminary curriculum of philosophy and of a "unified theo logy"

FAIR WILL HELP A LOT

" HAD no idea it was so beautiful and the boys so happy''is a common remark made to the Brothers and staff at Castledare, an establishment which caters for many of the less fortunate small boys of Western Australia

The Home is situated on the delightful banks of the Canning River, which flows quietly through virgin bush just six miles from Perth The late Archbishop Clune, who purchased the original 71-year-old Edwardian mansion from the McLeod family would indeed be proud were he alive today to see the great progress made by the Christian Brothers since the official opening as a Home in 1929.

To keep its 100 boys physically fit, Castledare has playing fields for football and cricket, good swimming facilities in the summer months., three trampolines and handball courts, miniature rail track and golf course, swings, see-saws, gymnastic equipment, TV

and 35mm films

However f o r midable this list may appear such occupations cannot replace the warm parental love of a good family In an endeavour to maintain happy conditions, constant maintenance and daily running costs in such a large establishment as Castledare with a very limited income does at times create financial problems

Were it not for the generous public support and the assistance of the W A Lotteries, the Home could not continue This year Castledare relies on public assistance to the extent of $20 per day, which is quite a substantial amount

To relieve this heavy burden the annual Gala Day Or "Fair of the Year," will take place in

the grounds of the Home on Sunday, October 16. Castledare is most for tunate and grateful to TVWT for its excellent support On this day the Channel is celebrating its seventh birthday and not only will its own personalities attend but leading TV stars from the Eastern States will give their support to a very worthy cause Many leading local sportsmen will appear on the two-hour direct telecast and will join with the TV stars in promoting sales on the various stalls

Castledare is most grateful to all those families who supported its recent grocery appeal in the schools

An open invitation is offered to all friends and supporters to attend the Fair and this opportunity will be a practical way of showing sympathy and helping a charitable orga nisation Buses ex-Perth (Cathedral Ave) 11.55

l'raining CourseFor Parish Work

ADELAIDE:

THE Newman Institute of South Australia is to consider arranging a training course to equip lay men and women to carry out parochial administrative duties under the directlon of their pastors

The decision to investigate whether such a course is necessary was made at the Newman annual conference at Loreto Convent, Marryatville

Mr Don Edwards, a member of the Newman Social Action Committee

said that today a parish priest was called on to be an economist, architect, landscape gardener and a repairs and maintenance expert as well as a spir tual leader

TASKS SUGGESTED

Lay people could help in administration, including purchase development and maintenance of grounds, rent collecting and rates assessment.

They could make social contact with isolated parishioners, taking two or three streets each as their area for pastoral work, including notifying the priestof newarrivals, births, deaths, admissions to hospital and old people's homes and taking the census

They could conduct planned giving campaigns, prepare quarterly balance sheets investigate school fees or fund raising schemes, engage lay teachers

They could arrange for lay readers, choirs and altar boys, act as ushers, and arrange church cleaning.

Offer Made

Maurice Cardinal Feltin of Paris, 83, announced that he has asked to retire in conformity with thedecisionsoftheVatican Council and the recent suggestion by Pope Paul VI that the clergy retireat 75 Cardinal Feltin has been archbishop since 1949 and a cardinal since 1951.

• Resignations may be offered by those reaching the retiringage laiddown or who wish to retire for other reasons The Holy Father has made it clear that each case is a par ticular one and will be considered as such. The offer does not mean acceptance l

Burma has expelled foreign missionaries and nationalised all mission schools and hospitals without compensation The government however, has not interfered with the practice of reli gion

Asked about her expul sion, Sister Maria de Agreda said the Burmese government used "peaceful means of ejection," namely, a summary reading in April, 1965, of an edict to "nationalise" the congregation's school

The Sisters, she said, were told to hand in all papers and surrender the entire property and cash, but were allowed to stay on in the convent while government officials and teachers took over their school

When they were finally expelled from their own religious house in March, 1966 they moved to a house whose rent was paid by a kind Catholic Burman she said. In the meantime, the nuns made their living giving private piano lessons as well as English lessons "The Rangoon bishop (Archbishop Vic tor Bazin M.E P ) and Burmese friends also gave us financial help" she said

The Sisters' final expulsion came in August By Septembers end, no foreign missionary is allowed to remain in Burma, she added

THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH IN THE MODERN WORLD TREATS AT LENGTH OF THE "COMMUNITY OF MANKIND "

IT SPEAKS of the relationships that exist among men, of the unity that should underlie the relationships, and it refers continually to the family as the basic example

Quite naturally in looking to the brotherhood of men, the constitution begs with the fatherhood of God and dynamic element of man's growth towards unity and peace in the law of love, The statement of the constitution is similar to Pope John's great encyclical ·Peace on Earth"

love, and the Council refers to the law of love as given us by Christ Thou shalt love the Lord thy God and thy neighbour as thyself" It is interesting to note that this is a totally positive command and it is one that is most challenging It is challenging because it implies risk; we do not know if our love will be returned It sets no limits, and we don't know how much we have to give "The Lord Jesus" the Constitution says, "when He prayed to the Father, 'that all may be one as we are one' opened up vistas closed to human reason" The vistas are certainly open, but the picture is far from clear

At the same time, along with Christ's law of love comes a certain responsibility The people of America live in a land of affluence of great educational opportunity, and of tremendous scientific progress We cannot retreat from the responsibility of love, love for all mankind Poverty, war, hatred ignorance and disease may not be our daily lot, but they are afflictions of the family of man As members of this family, they affect us also

To some degree we have overlooked the law of love in our concern to keep many other laws The Church in the modern world relaxes the emphasis on precise rules and regulations especially those of a negative nature Fast and abstinence is less rigorous; preparation for receiving Holy Communion no longer demands avoiding all contact with food and drink; the Mass is available morning, afternoon and evening The most serious laws are are re-examined; we adjust to the changes, and we are better for them

THE PRICE

THE Church is not, however, just catering to a desire for ease Amidst all the change and de-emphasis are small details; she still enunciates Christ's law of ove We must examine our lives: we must respond to the needs of other persons; we must work to obtain justice and truth in human dealings; we must pay the price of love

This is the pattern, after all, of life in the family As a child grows the rules become fewer and less striet, but the responsbilities to others increase Parents are less able to decide for the growing child, they must trust him to think and act for himself In this way the child develops into a truly complete human person, and the family is enriched by his attainments and achievements "Man's social nature makes it evident that the progress of the human person and the advance of society itself hinge on each other"

In responding to Christ's law of love, each man becomes more appreciative of the other person or persons with whom he lives He respects others, he feels a concern for each person, he is drawn into involvements with persons, and he heightens his own capacity to love

The great evil in human relationships then is the failure to treat every other human being as a person Hatred, deceit, theft and unchastity are insults to the personhood of another In the fact of Christ's teaching and example those are instances of man's smallness and selfishness, of his refusal to love as Christ loves

Christ gave us the example of sanctifying human ties, especially those of a family nature He bound Himself to the human condition by His love for man, and He gave man His great dignity by the Redemption Acknowledging the reverence for man that the Lord exhibited, the Council gives us practical advice as to how we might imitate Him: "In our times a special obligation binds us to make ourselves the neighbour of absolutely every person and of actively helping him when he comes across our path whether he be an old person abandoned by all a foreign labourer unjustly looked down upon a refugee, a child born of an unlawful union and wrongly suffering for a sin he did not commit, or a hungry person who disturbs our conscience by recalling the voice of the Lord: 'As long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethren, you did it for me' "

had been since last Mey the subject of talks between Italian and Austrian negotiators in Eng land, France and Switzerland UNWILLING

The Italian stand in these negotiations met with considerable opposition from Alto Adige's German-speakers Their spokesman, the South Tyrolean Peoples Party (Sudtiroler VolksparteiSVP), continued to irsist that the majority group's demands be met through international a1oitration Italy, however was unwilling to put the problem's solution on an international basis

In Austria, the Vienna archdiocesan newspaper Die Furche, admitted that the recent series of talks had led to "a few important improvements," but accused Italy of "backtracking significantly" on the arbitration issue

German-speaking popula tion felt that the Italian interpretation of thepostwar agreement was not satisfactory In recent years this feeling has resulted in violence

Bishop Joseph Gargitter of Bolzano-Bressanone in the South Tyrol, has repeatedly stressed the MANY LEFT need for fraternal ove

In 1939, Germany and and justice in the region, Italy signed an agree. and has asked his Italianment under which the speaking priests not to German-speaking people lose sight of "our mutual in Alto Adige were to de. calling of peace and charcide once and for at; ity " either to be transferred] "We want to strengthen to Germany or to retain and help all Catholics Italian citizenship About with equal love and de70,000 persons actually otion, without distincleft Tyrol, most of them tion of language, he said from the towns

After World War II, Italy promised complete equality of rights to the German-speaking inhabitants of Alto Adige and of the neighbouring townships of the province of Trentino It also undertook to grant a measure of legislative and executive autonomy to the population

By a decree of February, 1948 the Italian government made it possible for the German-speaking people who had chosen to be transferred to Germany in 1939 to return and to recover their Italian nationality By Sep tember of 1952 more than 28,000 applications had been made of which a little over a thousand were refused because of the applicants' past asso ciations with Nazism

The Italian constitution of 1948 recognised Trentino-Alto Adige as a region that she have a considerable measure of legislative and executive autonomy

Because the region in- ! eluded Trentino as well as Alto Adige, however, there was an Italian majority in the region as a whole

The Holy See has also pleaded for peace in the region. A 1964 letter from Amleto Cardinal Cicognani Papal Secretary of State, commended Bishop Gargitter for his pleas for mutual concord and reciprocal respect among these hard-

The letter also stated that Pope Paul VI hoped "that the negotiatins in progress may be conducted in an atmosphere of serenity and that there may be no anxiety regarding so many lives endangered by inexcusable violence"

By EDITH McNAMARA

THE Villa Cordis Mariae is a rest home in Edinboro Street, Mt. Hawthorn It was opened on February 8, 1960, in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

The rest home is run by voluntary helpers and Mrs Nance Charles, who is in charge of the home, has been "living in" since 1961

Mrs Charles was born in Collie and attended the Presentation Convent Her family later moved to Perth, and she finished her education at the Sacred Heart Convent Highgate

After she left school, Mrs Charles worked for her father at the Hostel Manly Cottesloe, and during the war years she was in business at Northam

'I have always been interested in nursing," she said "I was a VAD during the war years and helped in hospitals I have worked at the Spastic Centre for a short while during the voluntary help period" Mrs Charles has also worked as a dental nurse

The happy atmosphere of the home is apparent to anyone walking through Patients have to be mobile, and before they leave, accommodation is found for them All voluntary workers are not Catholic,, other religions are represented This is really a marvellous example of people living "inter-faith" The rest home of course is open to all denominations

I was in the Third Order of Servants of Mary " said Mrs Charles "and my interest in the rest home started from here Father Wickers first drew my attention to the fact that I could help The Servite Fathers started the home, and once a week our Superior holds a conference with the helpers to discuss problems that might arise

Mrs Charles told me that the home could always do with more helpers This work may

Sydney: TARN As You Learn° has become a slogan among millions of Asian women for whom education is now becoming a possibility.

Mrs Jean Daly BA cf Sydney, speaking at the Catholic Women's League State Conference in Orange, NS W. recently, said that because of the STRANRAER CONVALESCENT HOME "C" CLASS HOSPITAL)) Fully Qualified Stoff Phone 8-1382 85 Roberts Rd, Subleo 4 --

great poverty of the majority of the Asian women, it was not enough to offer them education

"They must also be offered some opportunity of earning a livelihood while receiving fundamental education" she said.

"Through this education the women could then realise that it was their own participation in public and civic life that could obtain improved conditions"

Mrs Daly was an offi cial observer at the first regional seminar in Bangkok bringing together for a short period women living in the same geo-graphical areas to find the best way to help them in their living conditions

Mrs Daly said one of he main points discussMAKE

interest those who have extra time on their hands Ladies go and spend one or two days a fortnight, which really helps the home and may not be too great a strain on the helpers

I couldn't start to tell you," said Mrs Charles "about all the different ways people have helped-especially in the early days

The outside work, such as chopping wood, gardening, etc, is done by the junior St, Vincent de Paul boys of CBC, Leederville At the weekend the children of the Legion of Mary from Osborne Park, Tuart Hill and Leederville give a hand The home has just been painted by our non-Catholic friends and the Holy Name men from St Denis' parish

Mrs Charles is an ex-member of the Legion of Mary and the Catholic Women's League She now finds that being at the rest home is a full-time job and she does not have time to belong to anything else.

The Villa Cordis Mariae Home mav take most of Mrs Charles' time, but she looked very happy in her work and this feeling of harmony is very important for the running of any rest home

Education

ed was the major obstacle which restricted women's participation in public lifetheirposition in the family

Although a woman may have gained equal political rights under the caws of her countrv these rights could not be made effective and be fully implemented as long as she was treated as a second-class citizen in her status in the famly."

The underlying theme of the first seminar for the women of South-East Asia was the recognition of the basic fact that women everywhere were first concerned with the family and the home

She said there were only two classes of women in these countriesthe desperately poor and the very privileged ones

The main theme of dis cussion at the CWL conference was also the woman's basic role as a mother and the heart of the family, although she also had a contribution to make to society beyond the home

One point Mrs M Lavis of the Bathurst League emphasised was the fact that the great majority of Western women in affluent societies were using contraceptives to linut their families

The problem of controlling human fertility, in the light of the popu lation explosion that is taking place in the world today is one that has to be faced though it seems somewhat ludricrous to consider it a problem on those particular grounds in Australia, which is forever seeking migrants from overseas," she said

TO ROSARY

' an article in the Maria Legionis, a Dominican priest, Father Gabriel Harty, OP., tells us that the Rosary was in existence long before St Dominic's time and was known as the "Psalter of Mary" and consisted of the recitation of 150 Hail Mary divided usually into decades What St Dominic did, under the inspiration of Our Lady, was to add the preaching and contemplation of the mysteries to the already existing prayer formula

Preaching the Rosary must not mean urging people to say the Rosary, at least not confining ourselves to that; rather says Father Harty, it means preaching the mysteriesoftheKingdom of Godthat areenshrined in the Rosary This was the method used by St. Dominiche preached, then paused to a1low the truth he had presented to sink into people's minds If we have really preached the Rosary, rather

than pushed it we will have given people something to sink into their minds, and in Frank Duff's words, "This is a marvellously psychologicalandeffectiveprocess"

Early this year, His Eminence Cardinal Gilroy was present at a meeting of the Senatus of Sydney and in his address to the Legionaries present he urged them to do everything in their power to nourish in all whom they contact a loving, tender devotion for Mary, the Mother of God, theMotheroftheChurch

"Thanks be to God" he continued, "there has not come to us in this land a lessening of devotion and love for Our Blessed Lady Now it is for you and me to make reparation to her for the coldness that is shown to her elsewhere, so that our devotion will spread out from us to the whole population in Australia and to other parts of the world so that Mary will be honoured as she deserves to be It was your love for Mary that brought you into the Legion, but do not be content with the love you had Perhaps one way you can nurture your love is to follow the example of Pope John In his diary he gave the programme of his spiritual exercises One of them is this:

day,' but more important still, 'I contemplate the mysteries as I pass the beads,' and so, if I may make a recommendation to you, it is this-follow the example of one of the most beloved men in history

"Devotion to the Rosary is an excellent means of improving our spiritual life, improving our apostolate and our relations with our fellow man and obtaining graces and blessings for the whole world May I conclude that I hope the love you had for Mary when you joined the Legion will be intensified with the passing of time and concentrated at the feet of the Heavenly Mother when you receive your reward end heavenly crown"

It has been said that the use of beads is a superstitious p rac tice, but the use of beads is universal and they have been used by people of the most diverse civilisations The praying of the Rosary by persecute priests and lay people in communist prisons helped them to retain their sanity under the most atrocious treatment

Tenth Anniversary

1/3 or 12c

A committee has been formed from among the Hungarian people in Perth to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the October 23 uprising in 1956 against the communist-dominated government which was held in power by the presence of the Russian army.

The committee is hope ful that parish priests on that Sunday will call for prayers for the Hun garian people

A PAPAL letter has rued the fact that even after 70 years "economic interests alone" seem to dominate the thinking of the entertainment industry

This view was expressed in a letter sent in Pope Paul VIs name by Amleto Cardinal Cicognani,, Papal Secretary of State, to the second Film Week of Italian Catholics at Assisi, Italy The week is sponsored by the Social Communications Commission of the Italian Bishops's Conference

• UNFORTUNATE

Seventy years in the history of films" it said unfortunately confirm that often economic interests alone determine not only technical innovations but also the contents and forms of expression, and methods of launching a flm or an actor at the expense not only of religious and moral values but also of cultural values and of a civilisation of man Nor is there nowadays any lack of cases of a misuse of this instrument for bringing to bear ideological and political pressure"

• POWER

To offset these tendencies, the letter said, the Pope "hopes that all those who through active intelligence, economic means or organising ability are in a position to determine the quality of this service to man may become ever more aware of their responsibilities to society and ever more aware of the power of communication of this instrument as they gradually more and more master its admirable technical and visual possibilities"

BO0K REVIEW

4 THE CHURCH AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE by Cardinal Augustin Bea Geoffrey Chapman 160 pages Price 21/It is unusual to have a commentary on a Church Document written by the man who engineered its formation, and here we have a Declaration of 500 words and its 150 pages of explanation by Cardinal Bea He justifies the text, its changes from the original, pointing out the motives for including its various parts Surely a religious document, the first from a Council of the Church in its kind, to put Catholics in the right

frame of mind for loving the Jews and treating kindly with them It frees the Jews from the common blame of the death of Christ and claims to recognise them as brothers who have always held some of the beliefs and bases of Christian truth It is a great statement but without his comments it is not easy to see its import and the Cardinal's explanation is well balanced reasonable and completely justified

It should be a most useful book for anyone who wishes to understand the religious attitudes of the Jewish people, and for anyone who wishes to see them now in their proper light and has an interest in their welfare R.SN THE BEAMISH CASE

Lest justice be not done in this case, Mr Brett, a professor of jurisprudence in Melbourne, has done a good deed in publishing this, because the charge of m u r der brought against a deaf mute should be most clearly proved beyond any suspicion

The book points out that this seems not to have been done Maybe the youth was suspect, but no one produced the evidence; maybe he was shown to be a bad witness, but no other good witness was forthcoming

Points of the trial were evidently left obscure; the appointment of judges for the appeal was not fairly made; identity of the murderer was not established; and Beamish was left to carry the blame

Reading the booklet - Shows the possibility of

House

the law's weakness, and Beamish should have been given the benefit of the confusion Maybe he will yet be considered as not proven guilty RSN

Exhibit Art Good

[' modern times, sculptors have emphasised the textures of wood, clay, stone and metal. The stress on the essentials has helped underiine another important aspect of sculpture's fascination

Auguste Rodin is one of the greatest of the modern scuptors Some of his works, along with some of his contemporaries,' can be seen now at the W.A. Art Gallery

A whole range of human experience and emotion is expressed through the features, gestures and the way the figures are grouped together

These delicatelv Dalanced pieces of sculpture are cast in metal and are so arranged in the Gallery that the spectator can walk around them viewing them from all angles This is an opportunity that must not be missed, even by those just slightly interested in art

The reading of good books is a means of learning more and more of Christ's principles as taught through His Church, and, at the sametime, we learn to express these ideas so that others may be convinced Do we realise that Catholic writers could spread the Church's teaching and halt the march of paganism?

Meeting in Stormont, the Belfast suburb that has given its name to the government, the party members voted to retain O'Neill in office and in effect to support his policies Althoughsomemembers disagreed with the final vote and two had left the meeting the vote of confidence was recorded as unanimous

The voting came after a six-and-a-half-hour meeting and a 37-topic round-table discussion of O'Neill's moderate policies Forced by dissident elements in the Unionist party, the meeting settled a crisis brewing in the Ulster government for months Traditional disagreements between the divided areas of Ireland go back to the Reformation-era introduction of

THE RECORD

CONFIDENCE VOTE FOR O'NEILL YOU!

Recent economic and ecumenical developments have, however, softened the harshness between the two populations Last year, Premier O'Neill began a series of talks with the Republic's Prime Minister, Sean Lemass seeking ways to strengthen both nations by cooperation

The talks were opposed by many northerners, who saw a hint that northern ties and traditions were being broken But the limited opposition was unimportant until the Rev Ian Paisley came on the scene Dr Paisley, the selfappointed leader of the Free Pesbyterian Church, had already gained some notoriety by his active opposition to ecumenism

public

Paisley's preaching erupted into riots and mass demonstrations against the government Finally in a three-point demonstration against Catholics O'Neill's moderation, and the established Irish Presbyterian Church, a riot broke out that had to be crushed by squads of police Several civilians and police were injured in the fighting, and property damage was extensive

was burned to death in her living room when a bomb meant for a nearby Catholic church was badly aimed Three Catholics were shot down in the street as they came home from work

The religious nature of the attacks emphasised how closely religion and politics are tied in Ireland They also emphasised the nature of the prejudice that is directed against the 600000 Catholics living with 900,000 Protestant neighbours

But the support given Prime Minister O'Neill indicates that the peace that has settled over Ireland in the last few weeks may continue But just in case something goes wrong the government has cancelled all leave for the country's police

They may beneeded on October 20, when Ian Paisley is released from prison

OLY FATHER HOPES FOR "EVANGELICAL SPRING" IN JAPAN

IN the letter appointing Paul Cardinal Marella as Papal Legate at the celebrations that have just been held in honour of the centenary of the return of Catholic missionaries to Japan, His Holiness Pope Paul VI expressed the hope that there may be an Evangelical Spring" in Japan

The letter first recalled how the missionaries were pleasantly surprised to find groups of hidden Christians, especially at Nagasaki, and centres of active Christianity, "which the fierce persecution that lasted from 1614 till 1863 had not been able to choke and elimnate" Then, remarking that Cardinal Marella was Apostolic Delegate in Japan for many years the Holy Father said that consequently it will be pleasant for you to express our congratulations concerning the Church's present position there and our wishes for its future development"

O'Neill's government brought charges against Paisley and some of his followers and a threemonth gaol sentence for the fundamentalist leader was imposed But the flames that the riot, arrest and sentencing ignited did not abate immediately

They defaced with paint memorials on the cathedral walls carried outside an altar table on which they wrote: "This junk is yours; the rest is ours" and placed portraits of Pope Paul VI and of William Cardinal Conway of Armagh on the bishop's throne

The letter recalled that the Cardinal would have occasion to do this both at the celebrations in honour of the finding of the hidden Christians of Nagasaki and at those in honour of the 350th anniversary of the death of "the just Prince of Osaka Takayama Ukon a man oustanding for his attachment to the Faith, for the power of his

Pope Paul VI has a per sonal invitation from one of the inmates to cele.brate Christmas in San Vittore Prison in Milan

In a letter delivered to the Milan chancery, Luigi Saladino 49 said "It would be far less sad for me and for very many of my fellow unfortunates if on the occasion of Christmas the Holy Father Pope Paul VI could celebrate Mass here May I be forgiven this presumption"

Saladino, nicknamed "The Gentleman Thief," when it emerged during his trial that he had returned to their owners cars stolen by some of his accomplices delivered the invitation on September 19 through his lawyer to Carlo Cardinal Colombo's secretary

A Papal flag was hoist ed to the top of the 12thcentury cathedral In scribed with white paint on the roadway outside were the words: "Lia Fail has taken this cathedral St Brendan's Catholic Church"

Lia Fail is a fanatical land-for-the-people orga nisation Catholics were involved in the movement and a priest associated with it was told by his bishop to retire Church of Ireland Bishop Henry A Stanis treet of Killaloe and Clonfert deplored the desecration Monsignor Michael O'Connor of Eyrecourt, in whose Ca tholic parish the cathed ral stands, said the affair mystified him since rela tions between the Protes tant and Catholic com munities in the parish are very cordial Police continued to in vestigate the matter

DO we gather in cities because we loveoneanother? Or is it to overcome our loneliness? Could it be that our community, whether it be a country club, or even a church group is only an escape to being lonely together? Have we succumbed to the diabolical temptation of planning like madmen teas, bridge parties, fund-raising dinners so that we can build bigger barns while those in the world around us are crying to us to warm and feed their bodies, answer their questions and proclaim to them the Gospel? Fifty-three per cent of Catholics when interviewed said that it was more important fo abstain from meat on Friday than to help their neighbour!

* * HOW we have dimmed the love of God and neighbour! "I've grown accustomed to your face'' are the words of a popular song which may apply to the face of Christ!

We are so familiar with Him! So often do we see His Face opposite us at the Banquet or shining above a chalice, that we boast that we know Him We say, "I am Tine, O Lord" We become so familiar we address Him as "You," as if He were a creature fke the rest of us instead of Our Lord, Sovereign and King of Kings
