Pope defends Kung move VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul IIdefended the church's recent action against the controversial Swiss-born theologian, Father Hans Kung, saying it was not an antiecumenical move.
Some of the 1980 pioneers of Willetton Catholic school: Cathy MCMA NUS and Robert GILKS (grade 4), Matthew GUNN and Melanie GILKS (grade 3), Donna ANDREW and Lisa ANDREW (grade 2) and Tommy LOCKE (grade 1)
Latest school The latest Catholic school to open its doors has arrived in a residential locality ahead of housing that will surround it on Vahland Avenue, Willetton.
Under construction for the past six months the new school was ready to receive 82 enrolments on opening day. It is equipped with four teaching areas, one pre-primary room, administration and canteen quarters and one third ofa library that will be extended as one class per year is added in the future. , Known so far as Willetton Catholic school, it will be given a distinctive name later by the school board following suggestions from the parents. Sister Myrene, Loreto, heads the school assisted by three lay staff. Loreto Sisters are now associated with schools at Willetton, Thornlie, Kelmscott and Armadale and have taken up residence in Thornlie.

lie did not mention Father Kung by name, but his comments were a response to the ecumenical uproar created when the Vatican declared that the priest, director of the Ecumenical Institute at the University of Tubingen, West Germany, c ould no longer be c onsidered a Catholic theologian or teach under Catholic auspices. Addressing a plenary meeting of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, the pope alluded to the Father Kung case as he talked about the need for fraternal dialogue in ecumenism.
"This spirit of fraternal dialogue that must exist — andI would say it must exi t first of all among the theologians who, in the Catholic Church, are engaged in the effort of theological renewal — also clearly implies that this dialogue should be carried out in truth and fidelity," the pope said. He added: "It then becomes an indispensible means of balance that ought to let church authority avoid being-obliged to declare that certain (theologians) are embarked on a path (Continued P 3)
La Grange adopts With over120 Savings Centres by-laws under throughout new natives Act Western Australia, The Bidyadanga community at La Grange mission in the Kimberley has adopted by-laws under the WA Aboriginal Communities Act that was proclaimed recently. In a comment, the A ttorney General, Mr. Medcalf, said that the implementation of these measures was a matter of great satisfaction both to the Government and to A boriginal leaders in Kimberley. "The Bardi Community at One Arm Point is in the final stages of drawing up its by-laws under the Act and work is proceeding on extending the community law scheme to Lombadina, Beagle Bay and Balgo," Mr. Medcalf said. The Minister said that the proclamation specified the area of community land at La Grange, the particular jurisdiction within which the Bidyadanga Community by-laws now applied to anybody. Aboriginal and others.
LIQUOR The by-laws had been discussed at length at meetings of the Community and were unanimously adopted by 156 members of the Community at a meeting on
October 13, last year. This was an absolute majority of community members. Mr. Medcalf said the La Grange by-laws made it an offence for alcohol to be taken on to the community land without permission of the Community's Council of Management. T he by-laws also prohibited littering, malicious damage to trees, lawns, buildings and other things, abusive language, fighting and the interruption of any meeting of the Council. the Community or any customary meeting. The community could place signs to control traffic within its land.
VISITORS "Under the by-laws, visitors to the community land must have prior permission of the Council to go on to the land, except as provided in any Act or Regulation to the contrary," Mr. Medcalf said. "Breaches of the by-laws are punishable by fines of
up to $100 and or imprisonment for up to three months. "Charges will be heard by the Community's own Justices of the Peace, appointed last year." Mr. Medcalf said that one ofthe most important aspects of the community by-laws scheme was that it would operate very much in the traditional manner of Aboriginal law, but within the general law of Western Australia.
we're near you. But no other building society comes near us.
CUSTOM "The by-laws are not a statement of Aboriginal customary laws, nor do they amount to a recognition of customary laws, but they will be operating in an essentially Aboriginal law situation," he said. "The scheme enables a community to prohibit some of the things which were offences against customary law, by means o f a State law, the Aboriginal Communities Act. (continued Page 3)

Pope to visit Italian site
V ATICAN CITY (NC)— Pope John Paul H announced he will visit Norcia. Italy, "the cradle of the Benedictine order," on March 23 to mark the 1,500-th anniversary of the birth of St. Benedict and his sister, St. Scholastic*. The pope said he will also make the trip to "encourage and spiritually comfort" the citizens of Norcia, victims of an earthquake which destroyed buildings and left m any homeless last September. "I am proud that I will visit Norcia so I too can participate in the solemn celebration of the 15th centenary of the birth of these two saints, to whom not only the church but a lso medieval and m odern Europe owe much," said the pope. "It is right at Norcia, the cradle of the Benedictine order, that I would like to express profound thanks to the Trinity for having given to humanity the magnificent gift of these two great personalities. Furthermore, I will meet with this good population to greet them, encourage t hem and spiritually comfort them in the arduous calamity that recently befell them." he added. In January, Pope John Paul met Bishop Alberti of Spoleto and Norcia, who informed the pope on the condition of the stricken population of the small town in central Italy.

In the early days of the Church in this State, each parish had to develop its own resources by raising finance in a variety of ways. Older parishioners remember the gala debutante and fancy-dress balls of the pre-war years, the annual fetes, the frequent raffles and all kinds of money-raising ventures to provide capital for the church, the presbytery and the parish school. Today, the majority of these early established parishes have adequate facilities and no longer labour under the burden of debt.
No resources On the other hand, with the great growthin our population since the 1950's and 1960's and the unprecedented spread of the Perth metropolitan area, new parishes have come into being with no resources whatever, at a time of inflation reflected in grossly increased land prices and building costs. The purchase price of a 10-acre site suitable for a parish centre comprising church and school is around $150,000 minimum.
Millstone Add to this, say $300,000 for an adequate church, $50,000 for a prebytery able to house up to two priests and a housekeeper, and the cost ofa seven-room primary school and you have a financial millstone around the parish's neck for many years. It was because of this situation that the Senate of Priests, in July 1978, recommended to the Archbishop that a programme of Diocesan Coresponsibility should be initiated whereby older, better established parishes would provide funds to help the newer areas. A definition of the concept was drawn up as follows:
Basic concept • Diocesan Co-responsibility is based on the concept that within the Church the unit is the diocese gathered around the person of the bishop. Within this organisation there are many subunits (parishes) in which the bishop is present in the person of the pastor delegated by him. • Parishes are not isolated and self-sufficient but are rather parts of the whole and, as such, should collectively and actively be involved in the building up of the local Church in the diocese.
Sharing • Co-responsibility gives expression to this function by a sharing of resources in such a way that an equitable and just distribution of such resources ensues in terms of finance; developing and growing parishes should be able to receive assistance from those areas which are already established and are free of large financial burdens. • The purpose of the Diocesan Co-responsibility will be to provide parishes with funds towards the capitalisation of land or buildings. A committee of management was duly appointed tO launch the programme. Its members are at present: Fathers Michael Ryan, Pat Ahern (secretary), Timothy Corcoran, John V O'Reilly, Thomas Phelan and Geoffrey Beyer (chairman). The committee operates according to the following principles, also drawn up by the Senate of Priests:
I. There will be a programme of Diocesan Coresponsibility for the mutual support and expression of solidarity between the member parishes of the diocese. 2. All parishes will be required to take part in the programme. 3. All parishes shall be required to have an orginised programme of giving. 4. Parishes will be expected to realise their reasonable financial potential. 5. This reasonable potential will be estimated after consultation between the parish priest, his parish council, and the board of management. 6. Every parish will be expected to be a donorto the scheme, however nominally.
Control of funds All funds will be channelled to a central a uthority which will supervise their disbursement. Disbursement will not be on a parish-to-parish arrangement. Funds in hand will be invested with the Chancery. 8. Disbursement of funds will be in the form of loans repayable to the central authority for reinvestment or further lending. 9. Any parish may apply for funds. The diocesan authority may apply for funds for present or future parish requirements. 10. Funds may be devoted to (a) the aquisition of diocesan land, (b) the aquisit ion of parish churches, presbyteries, and amenities that are not funded from other sources. 7.
Approval of loans Ii. All loans of funds will be subject to the approval of the Archbishop. 12. Membership of the board of management will rotate. The board will present an annual report to the Archbishop, the Senate of Priests and the Diocesan Pastoral Council. The committee has met with very encouraging support from the priests and parish pastoral councils of the archdiocese and has every confidence in the successful operation of the scheme.

Pitjantatjara's land rights and progress
ADELAIDE: Archbishop Gleeson of Adelaide and Bishop Gallagher of Port Pine, have issued a joint statement on the Pitjantjatjara people's land rights claims. They said the Pitjantjatjara people's rights must be safeguarded without overlooking the common welfare of all the people in the State. The statement was issued while representatives of the Pitjantjatjara people were in Adelaide for talks with the SA Government. Appeals were made at the Cathedral and in some other parishes for food, clothing and blankets for the Aborigines while they camped on the Victoria Park race course. A rchbishop Gleeson and Bishop Gallagher said:
"The plight of the Pitjantjatjara people demands that our society face up to two related questions: . • "What rules should control our use of power over this world? • "What is true human progress? "The Christian should recognise that, when we use our power over this world, ethics must be more important than technology and material development, the person more important than things. spiritual values more important than material things. "Without these rules controlling our behaviour, there can be no true
human progress, neither for the Aboriginal people nor for the rest of the citizens of our State. -The problem which we face is really not so much one of 'having more' as Of being more'." The statement said that to the Christian, human dignity was like a reflection of God's image in a man or woman.
ABOVE ALL "So, the human person ranks above all things and must never be used merely as an instrument for the benefit of others," it said. "The believer knows .that Christ by becoming one of us, raised the dig-
nity of the whole human family and united himself with every human person. "In the light of these truths, we must always be asking: Will the development of our natural resources automatically bring real human progress to all our citizens?
QUESTION "Will 'they become more mature spiritually, more aware of the dignity of humanity, more responsible, more open to others especially the neediest and the weakest, and readier to give aid to all'?" (This is a quote from Pope John Paul's encyclical letter, Redeemer of Man.) The statement continued: -In our desire for progress we are putting at r isk a fundamental human right, the right of the Pitjantjatjara people to preserve the spiritual heritage w hich is theirs.
Move to decriminalise prostitution
ADELAIDE: The Director of Family Life Services, Fr. John Swann, said this week that he would give qualified support to moves to decriminalise prostitution. The late Father DIVINEY pictured with Inglewood first communicants last year. Picture: Mrs. Mary Urquhart.

ago_ then he entered hospital with cancer. Concelebrated pontifical Mass was offered in All Hallows Church, Inglewood, on Thursday evening.
But he stressed that decriminalisation would not mean approval of prostitution. He was commenting on news reports that a Private Member's Bill seeking to deffiminalise prostitution may go before the SA Parliament next week. T he Parliamentary Select Committee on Prostitution this week recommended decriminalisation. "1 do not know of any official Church statement on decriminalisation of prostitution." Fr. Swann said. -In some ways there is a certain similarity to the question of decriminalisation of homosexuality.
Pope's Teaching V ATICAN CITY (NC) — The Pontifical Justice and Peace Commission has begun issuing a series of booklets analyzing and explaining the social teachings of Pope John Paul H. At a brief meeting with the press on February 14 on release of the first booklet in the series, the commission secretary, Jesuit Father Roger Heckel, said that the commission already had about 3.000 typewritten pages of statements by Pope John Paul. The series, "Social Teachings of John Paul 11," is being written in French and will be translated into other major languages, including English. The first number, written by Father Heckel, includes an introduction to the series, a general overview of Pope John Paul's social teaching and an analysis oft he use of the expression, "social doctrine of the church." The next three booklets are currently being printed. "The chief aim of this series is to put the reader in contact with the texts," Father Heckel wrote in the introduction. Father Heckel emphasized that the booklets "have a provisional character" because one can expect that in course of his pontificate the pope will "give new breadth and depth" to the themes he has touched so far. The booklets can be ordered in French. Fnglish or Spanish for $1.00 each from Pontifical Commission lustitia et Pax. Palazzo San Calisto, 00120 Vatican
" The question is whether or not it is appropriate to attempt to control private sexual morality by criminal law. "Personally I do not think it is the law's place to control private sexual activity.
'EVIL' "In this regard some Church authorities have supported the decriminalisation of homosexuality. "It must be clear, however, that decriminalisation does not mean
approval of prostitution which remains morally evil. "Prostitution is a degradation of sex and of the relationships between men and women." Fr. Swann said anot herpoint was t hat t he law was often seen as a teacher of morality. "There is a danger that people will believe that because something is legal it is morally acceptable," he said. He said that, as things are, there is an apparent discrimination before the law.
"Prostitutes are open to conviction while their 'customers' go free," he said. "This situation should be rectified. " The present law appears to be difficult to police. "I have not yet studied t he select committee's report or the proposed Bill. "But I hope the 'safeguards' referred to in the news reports may improve the law so that many of the public evils associated with prostitution can be lessened -such things as using young girls, soliciting, blackmail, organised crime and the like."
By-Laws MOVE ON KUNG (from PI) (from PI)
-However, the traditional forms of punishment, which might t hemselves be illegal under Australian law, have been replaced by fines or imprisonment. "We have given the communities the means t o enforce traditional s ocial control over standards of behaviour at a time when the traditional community leaders have been growing less and less able to do so in any other way. "This means that in so far as it is compatible with the wider Australian law, customary law is now being applied to everyone within the area of the Bidyadanga Community at La Grange, subject to penalties in keeping with Australian law. "This is a major and most satisfying achievement that is entirely in keeping with our firm principle that we can have only one system of law applicable equally to everyone in Western Australia," Mr. Medcalf
that is not the true path of renewal. "If authority is obliged t o intervene, it is not a cting against the ecumenical movement but it is bringing to this movement its contribution in warning that certain paths or certain shortcuts do not lead to the goal being sought."
The Vatican's condemnation of some of Father Kung's views and the order that he be removed from his teaching post drew sharp protests from a number of nonCatholic ecumenical leaders, who called the a ctions a blow to ecumenism.

God certainly is concerned for us. "All things were created through him and for him". We are, such as we are, because God made us to know, to do, to love. Our whole life is the possibility of cooperating with what God is — love. We live his love by trying to be with Christ, by saying "Yes" to Christ in all we do and say. Yet, we fall short in the face of God's perfect love. God calls us during Lent to review, to renew our lives. This season of grace is a time of conversion to God, of penance and sacrifice of saying "Yes" to God who loves us so much.
Pragmatic Australians are generally practical, pragmatic people. A challenge is never too great as long as we know how to tackle it. Many still wonder —"what am Imeant to do during Lent"! Not so long ago the answer appeared to be clear. There was a definite discipline of fast and abstinence. Here are some practical suggestions to help us say "Yes" to God throughout this Lent. • Be honest with ourselves. Ash Wednesday reminds us "that we are dust". We cannot afford to push awkward truths out of our mind. Christ's light and life must live in our hearts. • Seek conversion. Jesus said "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full".Lent is a time for inner silence, for thinking about God's word which is given to us in Scripture and by the Church. We must try to understand God's message and apply it to our lives. • Pray more. Conversion always starts from the interior of man. It is a gift which is obtained in prayer and through prayer. Throughout Lent we should find more time for personal prayer, family prayer and endeavour to attend daily Mass. • Do penance: There are numerous ways that we can do physical penance throughout Lent. Our sacrifice can be internal and individual, external and social. Lent is above all the time to prepare for a well considered and sincere confession. • Sacrifice: Everything we possess comes from God. Australians have been blessed with material goods. Yet we are but stewards of his gifts. Daily during Lent, we are invited to generously sacrifice for those who have so little. We are our brothers guardians.

Prelate's 'walk of prayer' in archdiocese
VISITS
Beverley cottages
MILAN, Italy (NC)
— New Jesuit Archbi shop Martini made a "walk of prayer" through Milan earlier this month and took possession of his nos archdiocese. The Milan Archdiocese, with more than five million people. nearly all Catholics, is the largest in Italy and one of the largest in the world. In the 20th century two of its archbishops have become popes — Pius XI and Paul VI. Many of its archbishops have been declared saints. includ ing S ts. Ambrose and Charles Borromeo. Tens of thousands of Milan residents cheered Archbishop Martini as he went through the town.
Among the poor, pope advocates "love" V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Among the pope's weekend activities was a parish visit to one of Rome's poorest neighbourhoods. The pope called on the 20,000 inhabitants of Quarticciolo to "accept love." "Every man -- and the whole of humanity -lives between love and hate," said Pope John Paul.

Mrs. Craig showed keen interest in the work being done for the Aboriginal children, and spent some time at each cottage. All the children are now back from their holidays, and have commenced school. On reports received by the children for last gear's work, children have been promoted to higher grades. This indicates that the love and care they are getting from the cottage parents is bringing results. A spokesman for Centrecare Cottages said that they were having a hard t ime balancing the budget, although the G overnment had increased their contribution.

Church-State relations LateranPacts ROME (NC) — The 51st anniversary of the signing of the 1929 Lateran Pacts between Italy and the Vatican has prompted new debates in Italy on church-state relations.
Marriage preparation has been on the move in the Great Southern recently. Pictured at one of six weekly evening sessions for engaged couples are (left to right) Michael DORIZZI, of Katanning, and Donna WILLIAMS, of Tambellup; Anthony SMITH, of Gairdner River and Cathy FREGAN, of Gairdner River; Colin KING and Karen CREMASCO of Borden.
In Bologna, a leader of the Italian Liberal Party called for the abrogation of the sections of the pacts granting special status to the Catholic Church over other religions. B ut L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily newspaper, carried a front-page editorial defending the pacts. The editorial appeared on Feb. Il, the anniversary of the 1929 signing. T he Lateran pacts
Preparing to marry
There was a capacity enrolment of 45 couples for the February Marriage Preparation course at East Fremantle last Sunday. Four couples who had enrolled failed. to turn up and four other couples w ho had not made a prior booking came to the conference. A Centrecare spokesman said this week that the increased level of enrolment and the fact t hat very few couples were 'not staying for the full day indicated that the motivation behind the marriage preparation
course was getting through to the couples. This was largely due to the priests, the spokesman said, as it was their encouragement that prompted most couples to attend. The key to success as to have couples enrol and attend as earlyas possible in their marriage commitment, even before an engagement, if they wished.

A marriage preparation course would have little benefit if a couple were attending during the lastminute rush in the weeks leading up to a wedding, or if the couple were squeezing in the attendance just to please the priest or some other person. Too many marriages of hopeful young people were not succeeding and the Church would be failing if it did not show its concern for the future in this practical way, the spokesman continued.

Only eleven couples had enrolled for the sessions that would take place on two extended Sunday mornings to give more time for questions and discussions and yet leave the afternoons free.

Bunbury priests plan strategy for 80's
Thirty two priests from Bunbury diocese met at the R edemptorist Retreat House earlier this month for a conference on planning the diocesan strategy into the 1980's.
Pictured at the East Fremantle marriage preparation course last Sunday, Adrian KINSEY, of Karrinyup, and Paula MANWARING, of Doubleview, who are to be married in Immaculate Heart of Mary church Scarborough on March 8.

Representatives of the Vatican and the government have been working o n revisions to the concordat for over 10 y ears. One proposed
Father Hugh Delaney of Bathurst, who has visited Perth with the Movement of the Better World, helped lead the conference. He followed a pattern developed in several dioceses in Germany and Austria which he had visited during studies overseas recently. The steps of the study and analysis were:
STEPS I. To draw from Scipture, the early fathers and recent documents of the popes, the thinking of w hat the ideal parish should be. 2. Then to examine, t hrough discussion amongst the priests, where their parishes are at present; 3. Realising the gap between the ideal and the real to strike out towards the ideal, keeping in mind the human limitations of country areas, the ageing of the priests, etc.
GRASS ROOTS The method won considerable respect from the clergy present. The biggest single advantage of such a method of planning was felt to be its beginning at the 'grass roots' of the people in the parish, setting out to help them have 'a change of heart', and thus beginning the work of renewal. Parishes would be renewed and, finally, the diocese. The participants were told that the 'change of heart' would only come about when the parish priest was listening and attuned to the working of the Holy Spirit in his people. The words of the psalmist say it better than qnunno •311-ila..0
labour in vain who build it'. A small committee of five priests-Hugh Galloway, Peter McGrath OFM, Russell Hardiman, Evan Penberthy and Leon Russell will take up where the conference left off. They hope to explore ways of implementing the philosophy behind this planning, and later in the year to present their findings to the Senate of Priests. The committee accepts the challenge that in planning this way it will be a long slow process and will need vigilance on the part of the Senate if interest is to be sustained over that time. But initial reaction of the priests and the strong attendance indicated that the spirit and challenge of the conference had been accpted.
FINANCE During the conference, t he Bunbury diocesan chancellor, Father G. C rocetti, reported favourably that contributions to various appeals during 1979 had shown a total increase of nearly $3000 over the 1978 total of $17,987. The largest increase was in Project Compassion with an increase of $2,267 over the 1978 total of 510,060. (Other collections that showed an increase were with 1978 figures in brackets).
RISE, FALLS Immigration $1,287 ($1,200) Motor Missions $1,676 ($1,371) Holy Places $1,945 ($1,674) Apostleship of the Sea $1,097 ($1.009). Collections that showed
Mass Media S9 5 6 ($1,004) Peter's Pence $1,617 ($1,666)
WORRY Father Crocetti said that since the diocese had only limited investments and c onsequently limited a nnual income with w hich to run diocesan
works, it still remained a major source of worry that parishes had to be taxed considerably to meet further requirements in diocesan expenditure. "This year there is an increase of approximately 8 per cent which means that the overall total which is required from the parishes is $47,540," he said. "This total amount is spread over various needs, e.g. seminary fees for students for the priesthood, provision for priests who are retired, sick (Continued Page 10)
Grant for aged people's home Bunbury diocese has received the welcome news that a government grant for a long-awaited home for aged people has finally come through and that construction will commence immediately. Father Crocetti, diocesan chancellor, said that the project had been in the making since 1975 when an application was lodged during the Whitlam government period and was subsequently deferred following government cut-backs. The good news, he added, was that it was a 100 per cent government grant and this meant that the funds put aside for an anticipated three-to-one local contribution could now be applied to improve toilet and other amenities. Funding works out at $18,150 per bed for 42 residents in a hostel that will face the ocean on a two acre site next to Saint Vincent's Hospital. Care for the able residents in the hostel will be integrated with the programme of care for 22 chronic sick in Saint Vincent's hospital that was founded in 1964. Daughters of Charity opened the hospital and it is now conducted by Dominican Sisters from the Philippines. An Application to extend the hospital for another ten patients has been turned down so far, Father Crocetti said, but the diocese intended to press on with its approach to the government for further funds. The new Bunbury venture represents the first project of Catholic Homes for the Aged in Bunbury diocese. Catholics have taken part in planning homes for the aged at Esperance and in the development of the 30 bed Villa Maria hostel at Busselton that was initiated nearly 20 years ago. iff/ArilrAVIIIMPAPIPPAPIIKIIIKEIMMIPPAKOMPIFAri

Psychologists 'messiahs' or helpers?
Is it true that modern psychologists are masquerading as prophets, as new messiahs?
Or do they belong to a helping profession, which frees a person from emotional disturbance and prepares the person for a faith experience'? I will recall my encounters and attempt to reflect on them, Last year in Rome, I listened to the Jesuit psychiatriSt, Fr. Rulla, a neoFreudian, who lectures also in Chicago, U.S.A. Fat he Rulla insisted on a person's becoming aware of their deepest desires, of which they are often unaware. T his is called the 'subconscious'. These desires may be.. going in a direct ionk different from the direction of the person's conscious life, creating an inconsistency, which will sooner or later destroy the person. Father Rulla seemed to be able to integrate his psychological knowledge with spiritual direction.
CAN HELP Father Rulla believes that some depth psychology can help a person discern their latent self, their deepest desires. . A normal person will be influenced by not only conscious ideals, values and attitudes. but also by tendencies. of which he is unaware. If these tendencies are moving in a direction opposed to the direction ()Ibis conscious attitudes, there will be inconsistencies. These tendencies are neither deliberate sin nor pathological acts, but something in between. They are subconscious inconsistencies, of which the person is unaware. Perhaps they may be c ompared to semi deliberate venial sins. .and contrasted also. An example was given of a religious girl from 'happy' parents..the wife selfcentred. narcisistic. domineering. The girl didn't seem to
whose conscious ideals are those of `chastity', but whose unaware tendencies are moving towards self-gratification. There is an obvious inconsistency. There is inconsistency in everyone. It is the amount of inconsistency that can bring about 'drop outs'.
Passionists and Pastoral Council to resettle 80 Indo-Chinese refugees ADELAIDE: Eighty Indo-Chinese refugees will be resettled in Adelaide by the Diocesan Pastoral Council and the Passionist community at Glen Osmond. First preference will be given to Kampuchean refugees. The Diocesan Pastoral Council and the Passionists offered the retreat house at Glen Osmond as a resettlement centre for t he refugees last year. The Minister for Immigration, Mr. MacPhee, announced recently that
the offer has been accepted. "1 welcome this most t houghtful and generous offer," he said.
14,000 "The 80 refugees will be part of the Government's program of 14,000 IndoChinese refugees for the current financial year.

'Significant' impact
The Festival of Light's "Vote for Purity, Love and Family Life" questionnaire to all State election candidates has produced a significant response. Paid advertisments in [he Record February 7 and 14 posed 11 questions from improvements in school readers, "R" films at drive-ins to Sunday drinking -all calling for "Y6 or No" answers.
REPLIES Of the 147 Candidates approached 47 replied. The support shown indicates that the "cleanup" campaign successfully pressed by the Festival on objectionable school readers can be carried further into other areas. One of the most helpful replies came from Mr. Ian Medcalf MLC, who instanced his own speech
during the passage of the 1972 "Indecent Publications Act" when he spoke of the need to obtain public support for the legislation being debated to become effective. As Mt. Medcalf was Atorney-General in the last government and should occupy an even more influential position in the incoming Liberal N.C.P. government one avenue for the pursuit of t he Festival's antipornography aims seems open. On the Opposition side of the Legislative Council t he incoming member Mr. .loc Berinson, NorthEast Metropolitan, indi-
cated his full agreement w ith the Festival's questions. The Festkal secretary, Mr. John Thompson, is pleased with the result. He said that though the Festival was short of both time and ready cash in mounting its election campaign a big impact had been made on both p arliament and the media. The need, he added. was for wider public support for the Festival from all decent minded Australians, ofwhich headded,"I am now one. 1 7haye very recently been n'aturalised." PAUL DONNELLY

Vision and action for the Catholic Social Apostolate Catholic Social Apostolate members were told 133 Bishop Healy last Sunday night that if they had a vision the means to implement it w ould follow. He told 140 people who had assembled for Mass and a social afterwards at the Redemptorist Retreat House • that small groups of apostles gave encouragement and joy not only to each other but to their pastors as well. Included in the gathering were chaplains, representatives from the Diocesan Pastoral Couricil, and the parish council training committee.
PRIESTS After the Mass, the CSA chaplain Dean Foley said that it was a pity more people had not read the statement on indisidual Christian v ocation that was prepared by Bishops' Conference committee of which Bishop Healy was a member.
He said that CSA members should not be discouraged if priests did not always come to their meetings or appear to show obvious interest. Priests, he said, had many areas of responsibility and it was up to CSA members to report back to their priests on the growth that was taking place through the review of life at meetings. This would give the joy t o pastors of which Bishop Healy spoke. Dean Foley urged members to remain loyal t o the method and nature of the groups in the face o f other activities undertaken. Study and activity were good but should not replace the essence of the Catholic Social Aposto-
late which vvis to reflect on daily life. Mr: Jim Miolin, executive officer of the Catholic Social Apostolate said this week that he had now been joined by his wife Jenny who would share with him the task of establishing Christian Life groups in the diocese.

About 1,200 sick and handicapped persons on stretchers and in wheelchairs, and about 10,000 others who could walk attended the Mass. Concelebrating with the pope were Cardinal Ugo Poletti, papal vicar for the Rome Diocese, and more than 700 priests and b ishops working in R ome. ,In his homily the pope called Lourdes "a reality of faith, hope and charity, a reality of sanctified and santifying suffering, a r eality of the presence of the mother of God ill the mystery of Christ and his church on earth." 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111a 51.G. & D.E.

The feast marks the anniversary of the day, 122 years ago, of the first appearance of Mary to St. Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes, France. Since then the French M arian shrine has become a world pilgrimage site for the sick. The pope compared Lourdes to the wedding feast at Cana, noting that in the Gospel story Mary intervened to ask Christ t o save the newlyweds from sorrow and make the feast a joyful event. "The wedding banquet at Cana speaks to us of another banquet: the banquet of life, at which weal! want to be seated to taste a little bit of joy," the pope said. "The human heart was made for joy, and we shouldn't be surprised if everyone seeks it," he added. "Reality, however, submits so many persons to experiences,

CURES I-le said the reason millions of pilgrims visit Lourdes was "because they know that t here, as at Cana, is the mother of Jesus: And where she is, her son must also be." He spoke of the numerous physical cures attributed to Mary's intercession at Lourdes but stressed that such a cure is "an exceptional event." "The salvific power of Christ, propitiated by the intercession of his mother, is revealed at Lourdes above all at the spiritual level," he said.
MEANING "The sick at Lourdes discover the inestimable value of their own suffering," he added. "In the light of faith they are able to see the fundamental meaning that suffering can have not only in their own life, internally renewed by a flame that consumes and transforms, but also in the life of the church, Christ's mystical body," said the pope.

Communist head praises the pope W ARSAW, Poland (NC) — Polish Communist Party Secretary Edward Gierek praised Pope John Paul II and called for improved church-state cooperation in an address at the party's national congress in Warsaw. The church-state corn ments were made in a speech which also pre dieted years of austerity for Poland because of shortfalls in the country's agricultural and industrial production. Gierek praised the important contribution to world peace made by t he pope, who is the former Cardinal Karol W ojtyla of Cracow, Poland. He said Poland shares his concern over the widening arms race and threats to world peace. Communist authorities "favour and will continue t o favour cooperation between church and the socialist state regarding the reinforcement of the role of the family, in the r o a-ation of -es et

Susan was one of 19 young people over 18 who took part in the first Choice experience for 1980. Like the previous four weekends, all held at Rockingham, the weekend aimed to give young people a greater sense of belonging to each other, their families, the Church and God. Maxine Crafford said: "Ihave become more of a woman and I feel like a new butterfly escaped from,the cocoon, wings still wet but ready to go ahead and fly. "I have a contented and. relieved feeling of having blown away the cobwebs for ever."

A sense of the universal Church and a kinship with other youth workers was the impression made on Linda Baker by an overseas trip recently. "Knowing that someone in India was doing the same thing as myself was one of the benefits of a ttending the World Federation of Catholic Youth Conference held in Manila" said the recently appointed National President of the Young C hristian Students movement in Australia. In 1979 Linda worked as a YCS national full-timer and was known to many of us in Perth while working as a local fulltimer for the years 1977 and 1978.
Linda is the second West Australian to be National President, the first being L orna Payne, now married to the international general secretary of the YCS movement in Paris, Kevin McDonald. T he international conference attracted 13 priests and 17 lay people from 11 Asian countries. ( Australia, Bangladesh, India, Srilanka, Malaysia, Burma, Macau, Thailand, Phillipines, Papua New Guinea, Fiji) and the international president from Luxembourg, Marriette Thill. The aim was to talk about youth in Asia and t he formation of a Christian youth programme. The meeting lasted for
LINDA BAKER two weeks with sessions on the cultural, economic, political and religious backgrounds of the different nations, given by theologians and Bishop Capalla. The Bishop said that the vast majority of Asians w ere young and he challenged them to be open and to be ready to take risks. At present Linda is on holidays with her parents in Perth and soon will c elebrate her 21st birthday this week. She returns to Melbourne where her main work is to visit different dioceses and produce Y CS publications for national distribution.

Last week the Monastery Youth Prayer Group held their prayer meeting in the Bananas International Hair Salon. In a world familiar with t he Guiness Book of Records, this must be a first for young Catholics. The move to the James St., Salon was necessitated by the double booking of the Redemptorist Retreat House Lecture Hall, which is the usual place for the meeting of fifty young people. The prayer group commenced last November with only 12 people meeting in the Monastery church sacristy on a Sunday night. To passers-by it must have been an incredible sight to see 50 youth singing and praising the Lord on the floor of a salon. Despite initial embarrassment, the group sparked off in prayer at the exhortation of Gary H ampson and gave witness to God's presence _

Christian teaching a beacon in a world of false indoctrination
Many people believe that the gas chambers of Hilter's time began simply to exterminate Jews. Iwas pleased to see that in the film Holocaust the true historical perspective was shown. A fter many years of indoctrination about purifying the German race, the scientists and m edical profession FIRST used the gas chambers to exterminate the mentally retarded, the imbecile, the Down's Syndrome victims, the physically handicapped, the insane and the senile. This was the beginning of the master plan to bolster the Aryan race. One person had made the horrifying decision that one single life was worthless. Gradually the victims d estined for death increased as the colour of the skin, the convictions of the heart or merely the origins of birth became sufficient reason for extermination. The tragedy of the German nation is that during that holocaust young German teenagers were being indoctrinated to believe that this murderous procedure was justifiable in the name of national purity and idealism. The ideals of youth are shaped by adults. I sometimes worry over a world which is subtly indoctrinating youth that life is about being young, healthy and vibrant in a world in which there is little place for the old, the senile, the retarded, the s ick and andicappephysic ally h d. Can you imagine a soft drink ad with 15 Down's S yndrome children enjoying a "Cordial" smile? Do we ever see an old and lonely person feeding their pet with the latest dog food? E ven the medications that are advertised on television for coughs and colds present a unreal picture of illness and portray instant cure. I believe this is all a subtle indoctrination which makes it easy to accept
abortion, to condone the e radication of the unwanted, be they mentally or physically handicapped, and shies away from any real loving care
for the aged and helpless. The only acceptable solution is the Christian teaching that God is the Father of us all, be we big, small smart or dull and that no human being has the right to make a value judgment on the worthiness of another to live. It has been said that the standard of civilisation within a society can be judged by that society. Jesus showed us the way when he talked and mixed with, and was friends with t hose whom society regarded the lowest of the low. Fr JOHN JEGOROW

Basic right to life Last Thursday, February 211 marched with 100 others through the streets of Perth to Parliament House. The march supported an open enquiry into the death of Christopher Derkascz, a Down's Syndrome child who died at Princess Margaret Hospital in January 1978 aged 23 months. I marched because I believe in the right of every individual, handicapped or not, born or unborn to life. No human being may determine whether a life is o f advantage or disadvantage to society and whether it should be preserved or not. If allegedly a doctor in C hristopher's case ordered that no resuscitation be given and now has decided not to give evidence it seems acceptable to assume that there was some discrimination in that medical treatment. It was a case of a handicapped child, supposedly a problem not being
I believe this case will provoke new concern for handicapped people in the future. I was disappointed to hear comments about the marchers such as: "Ihave no time for them; they are damned nuisances." The march showed that some people are concerned about an individual's basic right to live. I want to show my concern for life and invite you to support the case of Christopher Derkacz by signing the petition being currently circulated. JILL RYAN CPY Fill-timer

African missionaries 'men in the middle' as they should be W ASHING TON (NC) — Missionaries are caught in the middle in serving people in African countries — exactly the kind of Christian predicament they should be in. That is the view of Fat her .1 ohn Joseph Braun. provincial of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers) in the United States. "The missionary is a man in the middle not only as a teacher but also because he is an international person," Father Braun said. "He is not a member .of one tribe, but is able to serve all tribes. "Precisely because he does not belong to a local tribe or political faction people look upon him as b eing someone. or everyone and are waling to con fide in him." It is this role as a confi dant that poses the big gest challenge to the missionary and the peo pie, as well as the greatest danger to both, according to Father Braun.
STAND UP "We teach the people the basic principles of justice, but it's up to them to decide when to stand up for w hat they consider is
and may God be just with them when they do." "We have formed some v ery good people," Father Braun said, "people . who will some day suffer for what they believe is Christ. "We have trained some terrific Christian youth in Africa. "We're just beginning to see Christian witnessing in Africa. When Africans see their own brothers exploiting them, they will have to make a choice; whether to follow the exploiters or to face the situation head on and support principles of justice. - "When they make decisions against cor rupt ion in business and politics, then they will begin to suffer.

Test-tube babies; the moral problem
MELBOURNE: Experimental work on test tube babies should not be continued until the moral problems are ironed out, according to a Catholic theologian, Fr Thomas Shortall OMI, Professor of Moral Theology at Catholic Theological College, Clayton.
He hoped the method of in vitro (in a glass) fertilisation, as it is technically called, would be studied "with a Christian vision and perspective." Although there appeared to be nothing inherently wrong with the process itself, there were many moral problems involved. "It appears on the surface to be a very good thing and one can only marvel at it," he said. "I would like to think that men of good will can come to grips with it." "We need to study the matter and to encourage the medical profession, especially, to become aware oft he dignity and mystery of human life at all stages and to understand that life is a gift from God — that it is not solely under the control of human beings."
Husbands and wives From the Catholic point of view the discussion concerned only those cases where a husband and wife were involved. The Church clearly ruled out question of an "outside" donor of sperm or ova. There were two main schools Of Catholic theological tradition behind discussion of the moral issues involved, he said. ONE accepted any natural process as the more or less unalterable expression of God's plan; human beings could not or should not influence this plan. The SECOND school of thought was that a human being was made in God's image, and God had shared with human beings his stewardship of nature; we should use our creative ability to support and extend God's plan. SIX moral problems arose from consideration of these strands of thought, he said.
One of the major problems was that in the process of developing a single "successful" embryo — one that would develop as a fetus in the womb — a number of zygotes (the fused sperm and ovum that precedes the embryo) had to be discarded.
He said techniques would have to be perfected so that only,' one embryo was needed, thus avoidingt he wastage of Unused or "unsuccessful" embryos. "It would seem that the doctor will have to face a moral decision of choosing to reproduce only one embryo and being prepared to allow this embryo to go through the normal process of life --- even if in the end the fetus could be malformed.
Wastage wrong
The method of disposal of the zygotes raised moral issues.
"While admitting that we are not dealing with human fetuses, we are nevertheless dealing with something that is human. "Therefore, the attitude that we take towards the zygotes at this stage depends on one's religious and moral value judgements." Ile said Catholic tradition had always required that even amputated limbs be buried or disposed of with respect — the reason being that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. "The Catholic would not want to get rid of a part ofa human body. simply by washing it down the sink. It would lose sight of the value of human life which should always be treated with respect and dignity." Fr Shortall said that the possible malformation of embryos was a particular problem. "Many experimenters have made it clear in public statements that they make choices at the embryonic stage and that they in fact discard embryos. "The embryo is undoubtedly human. It falls within the biological category of human rather than. animal.
Only an experiment? The third problem area concerned the aim of the experiments.
It had not been made sufficiently clear whether the aim was to help a woman have a child or whether it was merely experimental for its own sake. "Does the reseacher set out with the aim of experimenting or is he concerned wit h a specific couple who desire to have a child'? There would be a different moral policy and •a different moral issue depending on the particular goal of t he ex perimenters. 'This w as especially important - when public monies in‘ol\ ed. as they generally were. said Fr Shortall.
The fourth problem concerned the donors of the sperm and ova.
Unless this were restricted to the husband and w ife the whole question of artificial insemination arose. "And the Chruch's attitude to this is that it is equated with adultery. "It is no longer enough to define adultery solely in terms of sexual intercourse between two people who are not married. "The actual act of physical sexual kitercourse is not the sole criterion of adultery. "There is, in fact, a need to redefine adultery in the light of new medical knowledge.
More than sex "The Church does not accept that procreation and intercourse are separate in this sense. Once you separate the idea of procreation from that of sexual union you open up unexplored areas." Fr Shortall said the role of the doctor and experimenter also posed serious questions. "Once you allow a process where someo ne steps in to take the ovum from the wife and the sperm from the husband, you introduce a foreign element and the husband and wife are in danger of surrendering their stewardShip over life — they hand it over to someone else who is not qualified in law, let alone, from the human point of view, to do so. "Decisions about the sperm and the ova, the zygotes and embryos, are made by the doctor. But who ekes him the right to have stewardship over them?" The fifth problem concerned possible psychological damage to the test tube child. "The zygote or embryo is out of its natural surrounding; for a period of time and many doctors and psychologists would maintain that this must have some effect on the child's psychological growth. "Most doctors and psychologists agree that from the earliest weeks a vital bond is created between the mother and child that lasts a whole lifetime. "Here we have a situation where this first grow th of life is taken away from its natural surroundings for a vital period. "It is put back again, but does this gap create a psychological gap in the relationship? "This is something we need to look at carefull\
The law, too
The sixth problem was the legal one, said Fr
Shortall. He quoted a case in the Lnited States in which a couple who had a child by artificial insemenation by a donor other than the husband. "When the marriage broke up the husband sued the wife on the grounds of her adultery, and the doctor was sued as an accomplice." "The whole legal position of test tube babies and babies by artificial insemination needs to be clarified," he said. "At present there are not enough safeguards tor the test tube baby itself. "It might be possible, for instance, for the child horn of parents in the normal way to contest, say, the rights of inheritance of a child conceived in vitro." The legal position of doctors needed clarification as Nt ell, he said. Could the doctor or the research worker be sued if a child were born with a liver disease or haemophilia?
Solution possible
Fr Shortall said that he was cautiously optimistic about the long term future of in vitro fertilisation. "At present some of the problems appear insurmountable, but I would like to think that men of goodwill can get to grips with them." Christian vision and an understanding of the value and mystery of human life were needed by doctors and experimenters. Fr Shortall said it was important at this stage of the research to avoid either emotional, uncritical acceptance or rejection of it. A difficulty was that underlying the whole procesSof developing test tube babies was the assumption that a woman had an absolute right to have a child. "Yet to maintain that is to maintain that one human being has a right to another - - thereby reducing the child to a mere object or thing.
The child's rights
"According to Church teaching marriage gives no such right; it merely confers on the couple a right to the sexual acts which are open to the generation of a human lie said the argument for the right to havea child was often highl emotke, focusing on the psychological needs of the woman or of both husband and w ife• Yet this very psychological need might not proVide healthy atmosphere for a child.

Scholars on a surrogate L03 religious programmes mother pact
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1980
W ASHINGTON (NC) — A Washington woman's wellpublicized agreement to be a surrogate mother for a D elaware couple unable to bear their own child has been strongly criticized by three Catholic scholars.
The three — a bioethicist, a moral theologian and a biblical scholar said that the newly-emerging issue of surrogate motherhood raised serious questions about the structure of the family and the need for marital commitment in procreative acts. "I'm scared to death of it," said Jesuit Father R ichard McCormick, director of the Kennedy Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and Bioethics at Georgetown University, Washington, about the news t hat the 20-year -old unmarried Olney woman has agreed to give birthto a child for the Delaware couple. The woman, Patricia Dickey, was artifically inseminated with the Delaware husband's sperm.
THREAT The Delaware couple s ought the surrogate mother because the adoptive mother-to-be had a hysterectomy before her marriage, making her unable to bear children. Miss Dickey has agreed to give the child to the Delaware couple once the
child is born. "The church has taken a strong position against the introduction of third parties into the psychosexual relationships of married couples," said Father McCormick. "The church sees such acts as a threat to the wellbeing of the family."
ADULTERY? Father McCormick said that one of the serious problems surrounding the issue of surrogate mothers was the question of what would happen if the surrogate were to decide that she wanted to keep the child rather than give it to the adoptive couple. If the surrogate did decide to keep the child, it could have potentially disastrous implications for the future of the family, he added. And if artificial insemination of a surrogate mother were to become an acceptable practice, Father McCormick said he wondered what would prevent the father and the surrogate mother from simply havingsexual relations to conceive the child. That, he said N1 ould be adultery. Asked whether an infertile couple's anguish at being unable to bear children might not be jus-

THE RECORD
tification for finding a surrogate mother, Father McCormick said that there are "worse things than being childless" and added that there are plenty of children waiting to be adopted. H is remarks were echoed by William E. May, professor of moral theology at the Catholic University of America, Washington, who pointed to Pope John Paul H's homily at the Mass on the Mall in Washington last October when the pontiff said that all human life must be created in the context of marriage. "The church's teaching is quite clear that good intentions are not enough reason to substitute an immoral means," he said.
IN BIBLE The surrogate mother, May added, was choosing to share with someone to whom she was not committed her power to bear human life, a power which should be seen as a gift to the other participant in the procreative act. Advocates of surrogate motherhood say that the practice has biblical precedent, citing Abraham's fathering of Ishmael by a surrogate in chapter 16 of Genesis. But Father Stephen Hartde-
gen, a biblical specialist w ith the education department of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, pointed out that the circumstances were quite different. Father Hartdegen noted that the surrogate mother for Abraham and Sarah w as a maidservant for whom they cared much as if she were a part of the family rather than a s tranger brought in simply to bear the child.
SARAH He also noted that Sarah, who was thought to be sterile, was later able to bear a child through the intervention of God, and that monogamous relationships are much more the norm today than they w ere in Abraham's time. D aniel Callahan, founder and director of the Institute of Society, Ethics and the Life Sciences at Hastings-onHudson, N.Y., questioned the use of the term "surrogate" to describe the role Miss Dickey is playing. While she was not married to the father and while the couple planned not to tell the child how he or she was conceived, Callahan noted that the socalled surrogate would always in fact be the mother of the child. "It's not likely to strengthen the bond between the (adoptive) mother and her husband and the child," said Callahan, a former editor of Commonweal.

TV 'hugs' for the children LOS ANGELES (NC) --For children who want e verything they see advertised on television, Franciscan Communications has just the commericals. It's "advertising" hugs. "Who in the world needs your hug?" That question is preceded by visual vignettes calling for just that — a comforting hug, a supportive hug, a welcoming hug. a reassuring hug. Franciscan Communications, a Los Angelesbased producer of radio and TV spots, recently released the series of four 30-second TeleS POTS, t hat arc now being delivered to local stations by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, co-producers of the latest series. Francisan Communications estimates that 1979 campaigns merited $5 million in "free" time from TV and radio stations combined. One spot was put to air during the World Series when that 30 seconds was worth $125,000. Both the Franciscans and their Marriage Encounter partners said they feel that the use of radio and TV time to promote family values and concern for others is a real public service.

POPE CONDEMNS ARMS RACE
VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul H condemned the arms race and praised "all worth initiatives" towards odd peace in an address to students and faculty from the NATO Defence College in Rome. Speaking in English to some 200 people in the V atican's Consistory Hall, the pope empha sised "the pressing need for greater sincerity in the human family, the need for renewed effort to reject that deplorable dis trust and suspicion which reach their culmination in the vertiginous escalation of the arms race." He added: "All worthy initiatives — large and small — of brotherhood, of interna t ional solidarity, of
f riendship, of mutual respect based on a coin mon nature and a corn mon destiny. are indeed to be encouraged, sup ported and promoted." Pope John Paul quoted o ften from his 1980 World Peace Day mcs sage, strongly reaffirming its theme of "Truth. the Power of Peace." "All forms of non-truth militate against peace." the pope declared. "Against any odds the truth about humanity must sustain hope among fellowmen, calling for the peaceful co-existence of all human beings."
Secrecy on UK sales should end: Anglicans LONDON (NC) — Britain should end the secrecy over its arms sales abroad, according to the General Synod of the Church of England. The synod adopted a resolution asking the church's Board of Social Responsibility to ask the government to make public information about its arms sales. Public disclosures were needed to ensure that arms were not sold to regimes indulging in "proven abuses" against human rights" said the synod. Most British arms sales were going to Third World countries at a time when the British overseas aid program was being cut and while Third World countries were spending money on arms which was badly needed for agriculture, education and medicine, said Canon Giles Clayton of Salisbury. England, in supporting the resolution. Opposition was expressed by Bishop John Habgood of Durham, England. Any progress in nuclear disarmament must involve an increase in conventional forces, said the bishop. "This is forced on us by the political realities of the world in which we live. And to build up our conventional forces we have to have the economic basis of a viable arms trade," he added.

THE RECORD
PAGE TWELVE
( ARENA JOTTINGS Had he not been such an enthusiastic supporter of the game, Lord Sheffield, were he alive today, probably would have demanded the return of the handsome shield which he donated for interstate cricket competition in Australia. Through no fault of its own, Sheffield Shield cricket this season has become by stages the poor, then the povertystricken relation of the game. Through apparent indifference and a policy (in which the Australian Cricket Board seems to concur) of chasing the dollar — and to the dickens with the good of the game -- most Sheffield Shield games have. become the objects of grievous financial losses and, it seems, of thinly veiled scorn by some cricket authorities and others associated with administering or promoting the game. It probably would be too much to say that Australian cricket authorities would let this state of affairs continue at its peril, but a very good question at this time, and one that should be asked, is where is it thought that future Test-class players will come from if the S hield competition becomes second rate or, in fact if it is drastically changed in concept? The Shield or other interstate competition has been the nursery of Australians Test players -- and not limited over m atches played for money or a succession of mini Tests played in bewildering succession against more than one opponent. To draw talent away from the interstate games is to eventually weaken Australia's chances in the Tests proper. that is to
saN , the live or six-match series as, for example between England and Australia., This season in Australia there has been a bewildering plethora of what is k nown as first-class cricket. Three Test teams have been operating and the West Indies have gone to New Zealand and the England went to India: Then the Australians were off to Pakistan. In between there were numerous limited over matches involving national and State teams. * * *
The visit of the Czech team who undertook a five-malch tour, was valuable for Australian soccer. T he Czechs, now preparing to retain the European championship won in 1976, were held to a 2-2 draw by Australia after they had beaten the national side 4-0 and 5-0 in the first two internationals. The Weekend Australian's soccer writer, Stephen Blatchford, said t hat the visit was "invaluable". The draw in the final match was well merited he said. He added: Australia had learned from Czechs. The Australians sustained whirlwind harrassment of the European champions from the kickoff. and although it was r ough at times, the Australian pressure was effective. Similar tactics gave Australia a famous win against the New York Cosmos on October 1, but the Czechs were a far better soccer team than the Cosmos.

K ozak, Jozef Barmos, Miroslav Gajdusek and the rest bedazzled the Socceroos. Game, but outclassed, Australia had gone down to a side gearing itself to r etain the European championship won by beating Holland and West Germany. One of the lessons for Australia was that the teaching of basic skills to t he point where they became second nature while players were still juniors was essential if we were to match the cream of the soccer world, he wrote. Czechoslovakia has a population hardly bigger than Australia's - but look what talented players it produces," he added. The second lesson is that until we can match the Europeans in skills we shall obtain results at the top level only be determination, old-fashioned guts and superb fitness. * 4*
No wonder the West Indies were obviously fed to the teeth on their tour of New Zealand. All this has added up to almost complete neglect of the Shield competition and an almost complete absence of Test players from Shield teams. For instance Lillee, M arsh, Hughes and Laird, all Test players, represented W.A. in few if any Shield games. Hughes,I think, was not able to play once for the State in a Shield match because of national commitments. The losses which must be incurred by State associations make a dreary story. For example, the crowds at the WACA ground for interstate games have been discouragingly poor and it has been reported that the New South Wales A ssociation has lost about $50.000 on Shield games. With Australian international players almost strangers to their Shield games, so rarely have they appeared this season, the crowds stay away in the absence of atmosphere provided by them and w ithout atmosph'ere players lack incentive. The threat of television is always present but the A ustralian Cricket Board, or more accurately probably its organising c ommittee, despite difficulties must revise its a ttitude to Sheffield Shield cricket and shape a more acceptable itinerary, next season which will allow Test players to take part in S hield games and, incidentally, pay greater attention to the needs and aspirations of the smaller States, such as W.A. There have been moves to play interstate games at other than capital city venues and it may be that this policy will give alift to
interstate matches but it requires a good deal more than that to restore the c ompetition which has provided Australia's Test teams since late in the 19th century. ** There are indications that Chris Lloyd (formerly Evert), the U.S. champion woman tennis player, may retire soon. If she does, she will leave behind a record which • places her among the alltime "greats" of women's international tennis. Recently, when playing in Detroit, she said that she was mentally and physically exhausted, that "any competitive desire is burning out and it is affecting my game" She added: "I am having a . rest of at least four months and, who knows, I might enjoy life so much that. I'll never return." She will travel with her husband, the Briton John Lloyd, a touring professional, who will resume the career he gave up willingly for two-years to look after his wife's interests. Now 25, Christine Marie Evert Lloyd, the cool, precise girl with the steady grounds strokes and the accurate doublehanded back hand, not only has become a millionairess but has won every major women's tennis title except one since she emerged as a teenage champion in 1973. She has won Wimbledon twice, the US Open four times, the French Open three times. the Italian Open twice, the US clay court title four times, the Virginia Slims championships four times, five Family
Circle cups and some 90 other titles. The one gap in the long list is the Australian Open which she has never won; she was runner-up to Aus7 tralia's Evonne- Cawley (formerly Goolagong) in 1974. She has been replaced as 'the No 1 women's player by the Czech expatriate defector, Martina Navratilova, but there would still be only a handful of players who could match her. Many young American players copy her doublefisted bankhand and her accurate ground-strokes style, among them the 15year-old Tracy Austin who, after four defeats, finally was successful against Mrs Lloyd on Because of her cool, undemonstrative appearance on the court she was known as the "ice _maiden" early in her career but since then she has earneela reputation as an ornament to the game and a well-liked person. Last year when she was beaten by Tracy Austin in the US open she received a standing ovation from the crowd and said after the match: "I'd lose more often if I could get receptions like that." Kym Ruddell, an Australian director of the Women's Tennis Association, wrote of her: "Always the charming lady on and off the courts, Chris Lloyd never put opponents down in the eyes of the public or the media. "She was always quick t o praise and never looked for excuses in the past year when losses have been more frequent."

DISCO STAR may have been something beaten in the Aurora Handicap for two-yearolds when finishing second to the promising Major Show. After losing ground at the start and being near last on the turn, apprentice Russell Stewart bought DISCO STAR down the outside with a powerful finishing burst and got within a longneck of the winner on the line. BUNGLER returned to racing on Saturday and pulled off a great training feat for Ted. Hickling in w inning the Sheila G wynne Memorial Stakes. Having her first start for three months and lumping top weight of 58kg over the 1,500 metres, B UNGLER showed great fighting qualities to score by a short half head o ver the favourite Debbie's Special. BUNGLER will be suited in the coming set weight events for three-yearolds. TURF EXPRESS put the writing on the wall for an early win with his good
second to Ginger- Gift over 1,200 metres on Saturday. T URF EXPRESS appears to be near his best form after three runs since a spell and is worth following on Provincial or City tracks. M ARTIAL EYES is ready to put his best foot forward after two runs since a spell and is worth f ollowing in Graduations. His fifth behind Sea Wasp over 1,200 metres on Saturday, two and a half lengths behind the winner will have improved this five-year-old which won or was placed at nine of its eleven starts when last in training.
