INNOVATIONS PROGRAMME
Of the initial seventeen successful projects to he funded in W.A. by the Australian Schools Commission under the Innovations Programme, three have come from Catholic schools: Trinity (Mrs. Elaine Cuomo, out-of-school remedial clinic).

olics . These were among the findings of the 1974 report given by the circuof committee lation American Catholic Press Associatiton at the asconvention sociation's here. According to the report, 62 per cent of the 75 Catholic papesrs studied and moved towards circulation mandatory plans in which the bishops required that entire parishes or a fixed percentage of parishioners be covered. The committee suggested from its research that if Catholic editors wanted to reach "more than half of the Catholic families" in their distrubution areas they would have to do some form of mandatory circulation or else do an expromotional ceptional job. The committee felt that the rise in the mandatory circulation plans. imposed by the bishops, stemmed not only from the desire for more subscribers but also from realization by many bishops that "papers are truly a medium for adult religious education." Parish coverage plans of some sort rather than school selling campaigns or other programmes were used by all but 16 per cent of the papers studied, and most of these plans were doing committee well, the concluded. The biggest promotional news, the committee reported, was the advent of promotional contests. 1LD GOLD JEWELLERY DRECIOUS STONES SILVER, GOLD COINS

Convent wins copyright of Nun's famous artwork KARLSRUHE (NC)— The Supreme Court of West Germany has ruled that the Franciscan Sisters are the sole legitimate owners of all copyrights to the artwork of Sister Mary Innocentia Hummel. The nun's art became through world-famous the so-called Hummel figurines. The nun's mother and brother had issued licences, particularly in the United States, for the reproduction of her artwork. Those licences are no longer valid and must revert to the Siessen convent, according to the court. The nun was a member of the Siessen community. Born in 1909 in Bavaria, Berta Hummel entered the Munich Art Academy at the age of 18 and graduated two years later with high honours. She took her Religious vows at the Siessen convent in 1933. The income derived from her artwork and from embroidery of religious vestments based on her designs became the chief support of the convent. The famous Hummel figurines were patterned after her drawings. Sister Hummel died in 1946.
LIBRARY ITEMS
On Thursday, May 2, the second of the Commonwealth-sponsored materials selection seminars for secondary schools was held at Hampton Senior High School. Three of the four Catholic colleges in the area who received invitations, attended. As a result of these seminars, without doubt, the schools will benefit considerably and principals will feel less reluctant to leave the onerous task of materials selection to their librarians, maintaining generally a right to veto and a right to suggest. It has been necessary to send reminders to a number of schools whose library questionnaire has not been returned. Even a NIL return is preferable to none. Unless the survey is reasonably complete, it loses much in credibility and effectiveness. Principals are requested to return the forms at the earliest possible date. In company with a member of the W.A. Catholic Commission's staff concerned with migrant education, the co-ordinator of library services visited the following schools in the south west: St. Joseph's, Waroona; St. Anne's, Harvey; St. Brigid's. Collie; St. Michael's, Brunswick Junction; St. Joseph's, Busselton; Bunbury Catholic Primary School. Unfortunately, it is not possible to include all schools but endeavours will be made to remedy that in later itineraries.
SPECIAL SERVICES On April 29 and 30 and May 1, Mrs. Gaye Wright Child Migrant Advisory Teacher, visited the following schools in the South-West: St. Michael's, Brunswict Junction; St. Brigid's. Collie; St. Joseph's, Bunbury; and St. Joseph's, Busselton. Also visited were St. Joseph's. Waroona, where language development proeramme is being organised for the whole school, and St. Anne's, Harvey. Teaching vacancies for the new special English clasp es are gradually being filled and prospects appear brie.ht that many schools who have recently applied for mtg. rant classes will be able to commence in July.
HIGH SCHOOL APOSTOLATE On Sunday, April 28. 34 State high school students enjoyed a picnic at Keaney College, Bindoon. After s barbecue lunch, a mushroom hunt and some enthusiastic community singing, all participated in the celebration of the Eucharist before returning to Perth. Last weekend Faversham House, York. was selected as the venue for a time of prayer and study for fourth and fifth year students. Activities included a tour 94 the places of historical interest in the town and hii climbing. It was a most successful camp.
RESOURCE CENTRE A heavy demand for audio-visual material from the Resource Centre at Nedlands has continued during the month of April. Many schools are availing themselves of the resources, but more schools could be assisted it the material were returned without delay. The centre will be closed during the school holidays except On Wednesday, May 22. especially for the benefit of country schools. • Information contained in Education File IS supplied by the Catholic Education Centre, Henrf Street, Shenton Park, 6008.

Our Historic Link
The whole workforce arrives en masse
On Friday, January 9, 1846, the Belgian Father John Joostens, the only Catholic priest at that time in the colony, sew an arrival of missionaries unparalleled in Australian Catholic history.
• This is the fourth of a series of articles by Father MARTIN NEWBOLD, the Archdiocesan Archivist, on the beginnings of the Catholic Church in Western Australia. The articles are centred on the history of the first Cathedral, which is still standing in Victoria Avenue, at the corner of Hay Street, Perth. It was the first Catholic church in W.A. and so forms a common link between the pioneers and all present dioceses in the State.
The next morning, Saturday, January 10, the Sisters and the male religious got to work to give a better appearance to the Church. Again we learn from Sister Francis that "Father Salvado nailed down the floor boards . . . and then by means of a ladder ceiled the space over the Sanctuary with white calico . "He also hung round the walls paintings of the Stations of the Cross, and over the altar a large one of Our Blessed Lady revealing to Pope V the victory over the Turks at Lepanto. These pictures were all without frames and were presented to the Mission by some charitable persons in Europe.
Open talks on boundaries; laity, clergy LONDON — A report on the reorganisation of the diocesan boundaries in England and Wales is to be thrown open for discussion by clergy and laity. The Bishops announced this after their Low Week meeting. They have asked that the report — by the Committee for the Review of Diocesan Boundaries — be published. as soon as possible. They stress that they have as yet made no decision on the suggestions in the report. When the views of clergy and laity have been expressed the Bishops will review all the suggestions. .411 When they themselves have agreed, the proposals will be submitted to Rome for approval.
The whole work-force of the Church came at once, the bishop, the priests, the and a postulant, the Sisters and young men in rothers, B training to be priests and twenty eight brothers — all. in erosns p As evening fell in Perth on what is recorded as being a very hot summer's do, the sail-boat landed the far from the travellers not all immediChurch where ately went and joined in TABERNACLE the singing of the Te Deum.

Sir, It is with alarm that I read the letter from Maureen O'Callaghan in "The Record" of May 2. As a mother of two lads in the C.M.F. and nephews in school cadets, I feel we should have regular training of this sort and some type of national service, particularly in Australia where our Government cares so little as to have our defence requirements at their lowest ebb and lowest morale. Who will defend the writer and her family in time of war? Will her sons be able to help at all? M. KEMPTON, Morley.
