A BIDJAN, Ivory Coast. Pope John PaulII made the leper colony of Adzope, 100 kilometres north of here, his last stop before leaving for Rome at the end of his gruelling 11 day trip to six African countries. He also made a point of visiting Abidjan's slum and red-light district of Treichville before leaving the captial. He had just come from President HouphouetBoigny's marble and gold-lined palace through streets whose lawns had been manicured and lit with thousands of lamps. Arriving at the leper colony by helicopter the pope said: "I wanted my last visit in Africa to be with you. "I would fail in my mission if I didn't spend time with those whom Jesus particularly loves, who need cheering up, comport and hope. At the layingof the foundation stone for a new Abidjan cathedral the pope warned the nine Catholic bishops of Ivory Coast, West Africa's most affluent State, to be on their guard against corruption, materialism and selfishness.

Aid to Africa but not at expense of values: Pope
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (NC) — African countries need foreign aid, but not at the expense of Africa's values. This was a key theme emerging from the speeches of Pope John Paul as he travelled three West African countries at the end of his African journey last weekend. Foreign aid to poor countries was"a question of international justice," t he pope said last Saturday in Upper Volta where the average annual income is $1 10 and droughts are a perpetual problem. In his five-hour visit to O uagadougou, the capital of Upper Volta, t he pontiff linked material needs to spiritual development, "One gives glory to God by making creation serve integral, complete human development, which lets man attain his full spiritual dimension," the pope told some 200,000 people gathered for mass outside the cathedral. "Human solidarity must
show itself in helping victims and countries who cannot immediately tackle such crises and whose economy faces possible ruin," the pope said. "It is a question of international justice, particularly toward countries that are too often hurt by disasters, while others find themselves in geographical or climatic conditions which, by comparison. can only be called "privileged," he said. Upper Volta is one of the six countries in Africa's Sahel region, crossing the continent below the Sahara Desert, which in recent years suffered one of the worst droughts in modern history. The pope also addressed the problem of the advancing desert, the turning of once fertile lands into desert or semiarid lands either through
natural causes or by misguided agricultural development projects. A frica's Sahel is one of the world's most seriously affected regions. "I beg you, scientists and t echnicians, research institutes, to turn your work to research for new means of fighting desertification," the pope said. " Will science not progress all the more if it is put to the service of human life? It can and must have aims other than seeking out new means of death, creating new deserts, or even satisfying needs artificially created by advertising." "In this place," he added, "I make myself the voice o f those who are v oiceless, the voice of innocent people who are dead because they lack water and bread." (see also P.3)
Schools, Church, faith in the eighties
CANBERRA: The need for Catholic schools to become a genuine alternative not only to State but to other independent schools and for staffs to become part of a faith community were some of the concerns aired at the Second National Education Conference last week. The three-and-a-halfday conference was attended by 450 educators and included 22 representatives from WA. Five representatives of the W. A. Catholic Education Office were present, along with staff members from the Catholic Pastoral Institute, Mercedes, Santa Maria, Servite, St. Brigid's, Lesmurdie, CBC Leederville, and Iona Colleges and St. Jerome's Spearwood and Mel Maria schools. The theme of the conference was Catholic School Commitment for the 1980's. The first national Catholic education conference was held in 1972 ' "
ble for the establishment of State and national Catholic Education Commissions. At the end of last week's conference Brother Kevin Treston gave a 17-point summary of points raised in a survey of those present. "For example, there was concern over the implications of having our system increasingly dependent on Government decisions and policies," he said. He pointed out that at present the government w as sympathetic to Catholic aims but he asked what would happen if a government was not so sympathetic. Turning to the quality of teachers in Catholic schools Brother Treston said: "New emphasis needs to be given, especially in raising teacher awareness of culture and society, and in forming their faith. "Building the 'faith community' is seen as important — but we need to clarify what this means,
school children and staff." He said that 60 per cent of staff and children at Catholic schools had no link with the institutional Church. Forming teachers into a faith community also had practical difficulties in d ealing justly with teachers who proved to be unsatisfactory in this regard.
PARENTS There was widespread feeling among people at the conference that there h ad to be greater emphasis placed on spirituality for staff members in Catholic schools and for in-service courses in spiritual living. "The roles of bishops, priests, lay people and religious are changing," Brother Treston continued. "This needs continuing dialogue and clarification. "For example, parents will take a larger role in the schools, but what ....Ft:. • •3.1." 4
involve them in decisionmaking? " Catholic school authorities need to devise models of administration reflecting the goals and philosophy of the system. The question was asked whether Catholic school authorities were consulting only the white middleclass sector of society on religious curriculum.
JUSTICE "There was a real desire t hat, in the 1980s, Catholic schools should decide their direction less by pragmatism and more by sound, Christian philosophy," he said. "We need to decide how a school can take a stand on issues in the Australian culture of the eighties, and yet still work in cooperation with the wider educational community. "We need to reformulate t he identity of the Catholic school. "Expressions of justice must be seriously implemented in our system.
required to expand their socialising role in the wider community, and we need to ask if the curriculum is relevant to the 1 980's. "Shouldn't Catholic schools exert more leadership in curriculum, development?" Brother Treston said that the quality of Religious Education programmes had to be a distinctive feature. "However, this will need effective co-ordination with adult religious education programmes," he said. "Inservice training in various forms has been extensively programmed. Brother Treston said that speakers and participants at the conference felt it was important for Catholics to understand their past if they were to understand directions for the 1980's. "In the 1980's we need to evaluate new myths about the Catholic school," he said. "A new vision of the Kingdom of God must be expressed. "We must try to present a real and workable alternative to the government school system." C'__

THE RECORD
NATIONAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE
Schools: 'Much still to Pope on importance of Catholic schools be done' by govts.
State and Commonwealth governments must realise that much remains to be done to achieve equality for nongovernment schools, the national Catholic Education of Canberra Conference was told.
Professor Peter D. Tannock, Professor of Education at the University of Western Australia, told 450 conference delegates t hat the picture of Catholic education in the 1970s was positive. "A great deal of progress has been made on many fronts," he said. "But the end of the decade has still left many vital questions either unanswered or only partially resolved. "To the extent that these questions are material ones, their answers lie s ubstantially but not solely with governments, S tate and Commonwealth. "It is very important that t hey realise thatmuch remains to be done.
REFORM "Postponement because it is too difficult or too costly is potentially a lifetime disservice to many thousands of Austral ian c hildren and their parents." Professor Tannock, who is also a member of the Australian Schools Commission, delivered the first major address to the conference. His theme was "Catholic Education in Australia 1972-1980: a National Overview." Professor Tannock said the 1970s were years of r eform and renewed

expansion for Catholic education in Australia. A combination of political, economic, social and ecclesiastical circumstances had created a climate for this.
nomic and financial circumstances of governments and schools, difficulties in defining s tandards, and perhaps political pressure have slowed progress.
POLICIES
GRANTS
However, the Catholic school system had still not reached the consolidated position which would allow it to shift its focus in t he 1980s away from questions about material resources. Professor Tannock said that four policies adopted by the Commonwealth during the 1970s had perhaps been the most vital elements in much of the r ecent reform and development. "First, there was the commitment to the principle of equality of opportunity, and to minimum recurrent, resource standards in all Australian schools," he said. "This was at the heart of t he so-called 'needs' policy. "Here, Catholic education has much to thank Mr. Whitlam, (the then Prime Minister) and his Minister for Education, Kim Beazley. "I believe that it remains a central element of Commonwealth policy and in this respect much credit is due to Senator Carrick who, in his four year ministry, demonstrated in both word and deed his c ommitment to this principle. "However, changed eco-
"Second was the decision to provide recurrent grants for Catholic systems in the form of block grants to central authorities. "Third was the press by t he Commonwealth t hrough the Schools C ommission for coordination, cooperation and shared decisionmaking between government and non-government schools, and within the non-government sector itself. "Fourth was the emphasis on devolution of responsibility —at least to State levels and, as far a s possible, direct accountability of those r esponsible for using Commonwealth funds."
A SCENDERS Professor Tannock said that five main questions for Catholic education stood out at the end of the 1970s: 1. Is it possible to move t o a system of school finance in Australia which: • Guarantees children equality of opportunity within a high standard educational system. • Provides reasonable freedom of choice of school.
2. If a new system of finance is to be adopted what will be the roles and r esponsibilities of C ommonwealth and State governments, and t he Catholic schools themselves, in provid ing and accounting for their needed resour ces? How are these to be determined? How, if at all, are they to b e guaranteed and enforced? 3. In developing p oli cies on finance, and issues as employment conditions, can Catholic schools live in peace and harmony with • Government school p arent and teacher organisations. • State bureaucracies. • Unions and other groups in the nongovernment sector? 4. Can Catholic schools fulfil their funda mental objectives in the face of. • The change to more lay teachers. • Centralisation of administration. •`Professionalisation' of the structure and personnel. • The apparent preoccupation of Australian s ociety with gearing schools more precisely to what are seen as the needs and problems of the labour market? 5. Who will accept the prime leadership roles in Catholic education in 1980s' when many of the present echelon are no longer engaged in that task — and how will the new leaders shape up?
Warning on injustices between schools.
Archbishop James W. Gleeson, of Adelaide said in Canberra last week that people working in the Catholic education system should be alert to possible injustices between schools. Archbishop Gleeson is the chairman of the Australian Bishops' conference Education Cornmittee. He was giving the fourth lead paper: "A Bishop's Point of View" at the second national Catholic education conference at the Australian National University. A rchbishop Gleeson s aid that people in C atholic education needed to reflect constantly on the words of the Old Testament prophet, Micah: "To act justly, to love tenderly, to walk humbly with your God." "In practice, the school caring for more refugees, more children of the unemployed, more handicapped children, will need to receive more support if God's call to "act justly" is to be answered," he said. "This justice is not that ra a halatu•Pei cpt rdcralpc
it's a reflection of justice of God our Father. "Those in greater need will be given more time and more attention, like the sick child in a family. "But all, whatever be their situation, will be recognised as having personal value and dignity. "I have been frequently misunderstood and judged harshly by many people when I have been supporting and promoting efforts to rationalise educational efforts, to make them more available to a wider range of people. "The world situation is of a small percentage of 'those who have more' resisting the call to share with the great percentage of 'those who have less.' "This situation is so often reflected in our local regions and parishes. "How often the questions are: 'Why us? Why re,ratro nr;finn,
for the sake of others? We've worked hard for all we've gained. Let others begin."' A rchbishop Gleeson said that the prophet's call "to love tenderly" came closer to the heart of the matter. "The bishop is called to give a lead — not in isolation but with everyone involved in Catholic education," he said. "If the staff of a Catholic s chool or education office, or the members of a school board or parish community are to work in creative harmony, then they need to love one another. "They must be ready to forgive, to accept forgiveness, to listen, to be patient, to wait their turn, to recognise the needs of others with the tender love of Christ." The archbishop said that, "to walk humbly" • , 3 0,11,10
nise both publicly and privately that they did not have "all the answers." "We certainly don't even know the real questions, let alone the answers, to the real problems in the world," he said. "A new type of humility is needed today. "If we can live these ideals, the Catholic school can find a place in a ny national school system. "By offering a genuine alternative the Church is responding to a real need f or cooperating in a society with a wide range of moral, social and cultural standards. "Through our Catholic schools we can help promote the freedom of teaching that defends and guarantees freedom of conscience and the parents' right to choose the school best suited to the J :J.,...... --
The Apostolic Pro-Nuncio, Archbishop Luigi Barbarito, told the national Catholic education conference in Canberra that it was a great privilege for him to convey to the delegates the encouragement and good wishes of Pope John Paul II, "The Holy Father has noted with interest that this second national Catholic education conference will study the Catholic school's 'commitments for the 80s'," he said. "I do not need to recall here the importance the Holy See places on the Catholic school and its role in the formation and e ducation of loyal Catholics and devoted citizens," he said. "No-one can belittle the significance of the Catholic school in the history of the Australian Catholic Church and of the Australian nation."
SERVICE
Catholic schools were communities in which the Good News of the Gospel was cultivated under the care of devoted teachers, he added. A s schools that were centred on the understanding of Christ's message, Catholic schools contributed greatly to the betterment and moral growth of the individual as well as of society.
"The Second Vatican Council said quite clearly that no service we can perform is more valuable to civil society and to the Church than that of the Catholic school, "the Archbishop said.
'MAIN TASK' "It is through this institution that we try to hand on to our children the values that give meaning to our lives: God, the family, the Faith, moralintegrity, service of the n ational community, sense of duty, love of the C hurch and of the community. "It is the main task of this conference to see that in the years ahead of us these commitments are deepened and made more effective by a renewed vigour and a broader
vision, in order that the Catholic school may meet needs and the challenges of a modern, dynamic and pluralist society, as well as those of a Church that has itself been renewed according to the teaching and the guidelines of the Council.
BLESSING "I am pleased to assure you that the Holy Father knows your concern for the Christian education of your children and the sacrifices you are making to provide it; that he urges you to cherish the freedom you enjoy to provide for them schools in which the Person and teaching o f Christ have an honoured place; and that h e wholeheartedly imparts upon you and your work his Apostolic blessing."
Course on wedding toasts under "new Soviet rituals" in Estonia. TALLINN. Estonia — In the drive to replace traditional and religious ceremonies by "new Soviet rituals", the Tallinn University of Atheism is offering special courses for toastmasters for weddings. An article on this subject in Sovetskaya Estoniya (March 7) points out that "the rite of ceremoial registration" was established by the registry office long ago, and the staff of registry offices usually conduct the marriage ceremony "with sincerity and sensitivity". H owever, wedding receptions were all too frequently nothing more than an exercise in excessive eating and drinking for lack of proper organization by a suitable toastmaster.

Half a million at Mass in Nairobi N AIROBI, Kenya (NC) —Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass before two A frican Presidents a nd more than 500,000 Kenyans at the mid-point of his 11-day African visit.
The Mass was one of the highlights of the pope's t wo-day tour of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Before dawn several already had housand t gathered in the park, , where the huge canopied altar at one edge of the park faced toward gently rising slopes that formed a natural semi-circular amphitheatre. President Arap Moi and Ugandan President Godfrey L. Binaisa, who has visiting Kenya, attended the Mass, concelebrated by the Pope, Cardinal Maurice Otunga, of Nairobi and the Kenyan bishops. In his homily, the pope emphasized truth as a link between the Church's religious mission and its jnvolvement in society.
"INSIGHTS" "The Christian faith does not provide you with ready-made solutions to the complex problems affecting contemporary society," he said. "But it does give you deep insights into the nature of man and his needs, calling you. . .to take up your responsibilities as good citizens." He called for Christian contributions to cultural v alues and to political life.
MARRIAGE To married people he stressed the importance of family life. "No group has a greater impact on a country than the family. No group has a more influential role in the future of the world," he said. More than an hour before the Mass, choirs began singing in Swahili, K enya's official language, and in English and other languages. During the offertory p rocession gifts were brought including native crafts and foods and, at t he end, two young goats. When the two-and-ahalf hour mass finished, t he people broke into a r ousing series of songs for t he pope.
These included "He's got the Whole World in His Hands" and "Sto-Lat," a traditional Polish song wishing long life. In the afternoon, the pope met contemplative nuns in a cloister near the nunciature. He praised them as a sign of the maturation of the Church in Africa and asked them to pray especially for vocations.
LEADERS Previously, at a meeting with ?resident Arap Moi, he praised Kenya's efforts t o achieve unity and brotherhood and offered full church cooperation in working for human dignity and advancement. After returning to the nunciature, the pontiff met successively Christian leaders, Moslem leaders and Hindu leaders. To the Christians he emphasised reunion of the churches "as a matter of urgency" for the sake of witnessing the Gospel. To Moslems he emphasised common belief in "the one, living, subsistent, merciful and a lmighty creator of heaven and earth." To the Hindus he emphasised the Church's esteem for all religions. "The purpose of life, the nature of good, the path to happiness, the meaning of death and the end of our human journey —all these truths form the object, of our common interest," he said.
TEACHING His last major address in Kenya was to the nation's bishops and bishops visiting from neighbouring countries. The pope urged the building of a strong Christian life among all s ectors of Kenya's catholics. His strongest comments regarded Catholic teaching on marriage and family life. He emphasised the lifelong road of monogamous marriage and praised the bishops for their defence of human life in teaching the church's position on abortion, sterilization and contraception.

In advocating inculturation — the adaptation of the gospel to local cultures — the pope insisted that it should not dilute Christian faith. "There is no question of adulterating the Word of God, or of emptying the Cross of its power," he said. "But rather of bringing Christ into the very centre of African life and of lifting up all african life to Christ. When the pope arrived in Nairobi about 20,000 people — the largest airport crowd in Nairobi's history — gathered to meet him. The pope greeted the crowd in Swahili. In his prepared remarks in English, the pope addressed young people. "Be young people, and reach out to each other in generosity and fraternal service," the pope said. "Be young people, and do not let your hearts k now selfishness or greed," he added. "Be young people, and let your songs reveal your daring and your vision for the future." The thousands ofyouths listening to the pope gave him thunderous applause. During the airport ceremonies the pope also fulfilled the duties of a visiting Head of State, meeting government leaders and the diplomatic corps as well as the country's bishops and other religious leaders.
LONG WAIT From the airport, the pope went by motorcade t o the cathedral in Nairobi. At the outskirts of the city, the motorcade slowed as suddenly the
road was packed on both sides with thousands of cheering Kenyans. Many had been waiting five hours along the parade route for a glimpse of the pope. At Holy Family cathedral, an hour behind schedule, the pope stressed the universality of the Church and urged laity, catechists, seminarians, priests, Religious and bishops to carry out their vocations, sanctifying the world and build the church.
PRINCIPLES In a meeting with diplomats the pope outlined a broad range of principles f or African development: spiritual values, political and economic independence, a rightful voice in world affairs, justice and dignity for all citizens. He called racism "Evil, no matter how it is practised, no matter who does it or why." He also urged a commitment to solving africa's massive problem of refugee problems.
Collaboration at Liwara praised
MODEL?
CANBERRA The collaboration between priests and laity at the Liwara school Hamersley had been more successful than ever dreamed possible, Sister Leonie O'Brien of Perth told the National Catholic Education Conference.
He lashed out at atheistic ideology as an attack on human dignity, and he warned against corruption and abuse of power by governments. He declared that a strictly materialist attitude ultimately retarded development. He urged that in all political and economic choices for the future of Africa, "The African in his human dignity" should be the focal point. T he wide-ranging speech which discussed numerous specific issues seemed certain to become a major reference point for future policies and positions in the African Catholic Church.
"Whether the total project is a success or f ailure can not be answered simply 'yes' or 'no'," she said. " But the initial objectives not only came alive. They flowered and are still blossoming." Sister Leonie was describing the six-year programme in which the Sisters of Mercy joined with the local community for a fixed term to establish a local school.
THE AIM At the end of 1979 Sister Leonie and other sisters withdrew from the school and it is now under the direction of Miss Roma Criddle as principal. Sr. Leonie said that Mercy Sisters in W.A. decided to make a positive contribution to developing Catholic education in W.A. even though there were fewer Sisters available for schools. "We couldn't continue our traditional role of opening new schools at
MEETING WITH A PRIMATE ACCRA, Ghana. Pope John Paul II had his first meeting with the new Anglican primate, Archbishop Runcie of Canterbury, in a meeting here last Friday. Pope John Paul was on the second leg of his 11 day visit to East and West Africa. Archbishop Runcie was making a tour of Anglican churches in the wake of his installation in Canterbury a month ago. The two leaders met for 45 minutes in the papal nunciature. The meeting was described as one of "personal friendship and trust." A statement described the meeting as a "joyful and moving occasion". There were immense opportunities for the Christian Churches in A frica and "the time is too short and the need too pressing to waste christian energy pursuing old r

the request of parish priests," Sr. Leonie said. "However we decided on a new approach of commissioning a 'frontier group' of sisters to enter a new area and help establish a Catholic school there, but to withdraw as lay leaders emerged. "We would complement, reinforce and extend parents' efforts in their primary responsibility of developing faith a wareness in their family." "And the parish priest's role has been vital.
PRIEST "In this case, he divested h imself of direct a dministration and financial involvement, becoming instead a bridge-builder for all the parish activities." Sr. Leonie said that the project had its difficulties and problems. "For example, the school's policy is to accept only children of Catholics who witness the faith ,and
there have been strong reactions against this," she said. "So much involvement has meant extra work for t he staff, and the lay principal who replaced m e has found the involvement by parents and community a harder task than usual.
QUESTION "There is still a question of whether the atmosphere will continue when the school grows larger than the current 455 pupils. "But we have constantly asked ourselves: 'Is this a Catholic school —what is different about it.' "Liwara", has been challenged," she added "and has faced actual living of • Message- ofJesus and the Christian follower. • Community - collaborating with each other. • Service - to each other and the wider community."

Newsletter for the over-55's CHICAGO (NC)— Claretian Publications has begun publication of"Generation," a monthly four-page newsletter for Catholics over 55. It is edited by 56-yearold John Deedy, former m anaging editor of "Commonweal," who said, "Emphasis will be topics of a moral andspiritual kind." "Older Catholics are a tremendous resource in the church," said Claretian Father Mark J. Brummel, head of Claretian Publications. "This group, unencumbered by the problems of raising a family and ready to enjoy the freedom of an 'empty nest,' have much to offer the church "And, as we all know, this is not an age to take our natural resources lightly." "Generation" is intended to discuss aspects of t he Catholic tradition from the point of view of the older Catholic and to e xamine ways older Catholics can support
each other and help the church. "Whether he or she is interested in how to be a good Catholic grandparent or coping with infirmity or the loss of a close friend, the older Catholic will appreciate Generation because it touches the needs and concerns of the senior segment of the A merican church," Father Brummel said. The newsletter will be sold in bulk (as inexpensively as 10 cents a copy) to local parishes. The parish staff will be able to decide how to use the newsletter: in parish visitations, in the Sunday b ulletin, in parish meetings.

Council ," said Gerard Noel, editor-in-chief of the "Catholic Herald," a British Catholic newspaper, and author of"The Anatomy of the Catholic Church: Roman Catholicism in an Age of Revolution," recently published by Doubleday and Co. "After that, one feels that perhaps this pope can t ake the whole church with him forward," Noel said. "An obviously liberal pope at this moment when polarization still exists might find himself out on a limb." He added that an "ultraconservative" pope might likewise find himself in isolation. "Only a conservative, in my opinion, can bring most people with him."
"COSMETIC" In his book, Noel said, h e had "contrasted attempts by this pope to make explicit what was implicit in the council with resistance to this." He contended that Catholics had not really put into practice the profound changes aimed at by the council.
Rome gets first mail from China in 30 years V ATICAN CITY (NC) — For the first time in more than 30 years, Vatican Radio has been r eceiving letters from China. Jesuit Father Roberto Tucci, director of Vatican Radio, said that the letters began arriving last year and now averaged 30 to 40 a month. Most of the mail was from young people who have no knowledge of the Catholic Church and who wished to obtain information, he added. For many years, an e ight -member staff headed by Father Joseph Shih, has been preparing and broadcasting a daily half-hour program for China. Emphasis has been on w orld news and on human, cultural and philosophical issues. During the rule of Mao Tse-tung, there was no way to know whether transmissions from Vatican Radio were being received in China, Father Tucci said. Father Tucci said that Vatican Radio transmissions to two Eastern European countries were blocked at times by

FRATERNITY Recalling the slogan of the French Revolution of 1789, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," he said that that revolution had only achieved a measure of liberty. Marxist revolutions of the 20th century, he said, have brought about a certain equality. But none of these revolutions have produced real brotherhood, he said. "The church," he added, "has a great opportunity t o produce fraternity through painful means." His book, he said, "touches aspects of the church in its most troublesome areas: divorce and remarriage, the sacraments, finance, Africanization." Authority in the church was the central theme of the chapter on the papacy, he said. Pope Paul VI, in issuing in 1968 his encyclical "H umanae Vitae" reaffirming the church's opposition to artificial birth control "opened a big wound," Noel said, "because we got down to discussing what authority meant." Noel said that a shared authority was what Jesus
Late Sister Eunan's 49 years' service At the time of her death earlier this month Sister Eunan Murphy had served as a Sister of St. John of God for 49 years. Born in 1906, she lost both her parents at an early age in Bunbury and with her brother was reared by an aunt, converting to Catholicism at the time. She entered the Sisters of St. John of God at Subiaco in 1931 and trained as a nurse, later herself having much to do with the training of nurses. She served in hospitals at Subiaco, Rivervale and K algoorlie, until her health deteriorated. She died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 72. Father John Cullen and a number of priests concelebrated her funeral Mass at Subiaco.
voiced by the pope. "He cannot act alone," he said. The British journalist added that if the magisterium, the church's official t eaching authority, represented by the pope and the bishops, "acts alone, it would be cutting its own throat." He recalled the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas on the primacy of conscience and the afterdinner toast of Cardinal John Henry Newman, the 1 9th-century English theologian, "I shall drink — to the pope, if you please — but still to conscience first and to the pope afterwards." Noel pointed out that c onscience must be formed by study of papal and magisterial teaching and by prayer.

'NONSENSE'
B akaric criticized communists "who believe that one should wage a s truggle against the church." He rejected using militant atheism as a w eapon against the church because "atheism is an outdated movement belonging to the 19th century." "The fight the church as a religious institition is nonsense," he said. "Out criteria should not be whether one is an a theist or not, but whether one supports our socialism."

Bishop; Education in chastity as part of teaching on sex.
HARTFORD, (NC) — The six Catholic bishops of Connecticut have urged that education in chastity be included in program of sex education to be developed by the state's Department of Education. In a statement on sex e ducation in public schools, the bishops urged also that the public school programme "not advocate or teach any one sectarian viewpoint or any amoral or naturalist doctrine." T hey recommended inviting parents to participate in planning, presenting and evaluating family life education programmes and cautioned parents not to let their anxieties about sex education in public schools "lead to indiscriminate opposition to all classroom instruction in sexuality."
PROBLEMS The bishops noted that the State Legislature had passed a Bill requiring the Connecticut Department of Education to develop a model curriculum for family -life education in public schools, but had not ordered local regional school boards to institute such family-life education programs. A cknowledging the need for better education of the young in sexuality, the bishops said that statistics "all point to a massive problem." "Nationally, by age 19, over half of unmarried women have had premarital sexual relations," they said. "In north central
Connecticut, one-third of female teen-agers became pregnant by age 19. "Of these, two-thirds are unmarried. Promiscuity, venereal disease and cervical cancer have sharply increased among young people."
WARNING But the bishops warned against sex education "that is purely natural and empty of moral values." They continued: "A programme limited to contraceptive sex education, inculcates a materialistic, mechanistic value system that makes sex both casual and trite. "Such a programme lessens the love and respect young people should have for others. "Such a programme effectively drives a wedge between parents who have moral values and their own children."
The organization's philosophy "seems to regard human beings as incapable of controlling their sexual tendencies or appetites," they said. "They say to young people that the use of sex is inevitable and therefore must be exercised with knowledge of technical means for preventing conception and V.D. and that the ultimate means of eliminating an unwanted pregnancy is abortion."
"SACRED" Urging the inclusion of education in chastity in any sex education programme the bishops defined chastity as "a personal quality by which a man or woman shows total respect for self and others in matters of sex." "The chaste person looks upon sex as sacred," the said. "This is the means which God has planned for the transmission of human life, which itself is sacred." The chaste single person, they added, "does not, on principle, engage in premarital sex."

POPE PAUL VI said in Evangelii Nuntiandi: "Like Christ during the time of His preaching, like the Twelve on the morning of Pentecost, the Church too sees before her an immense multitude of people who need the Gospel and have a right to it, for God 'wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth.'" "The Church is deeply aware of her duty to preach salvation to all. Knowing that the Gospel message is not reserved to a small group of the initiated, the privileged or the elect but is destined for everyone, she shares Christ's anguish at the sight of the wandering and exhausted crowds 'like sheep without a shepherd.'" *

Two new priests in Senegal come from pagan families. Father Tending, 29, belong to the "Diolas" tribe. who for the greater part are still animists, and is the son of pagan parents. The 26-year-old Father Labar, is the second priest from the "Mancagnes" Tribe, also animists for the most part, and is also the son of pagan parents. When his father died and his mother returned to Guinea-Bissau, Joachim was hardly three years old; thus he remained with his paternal grandmother who took care of him. To follow their vocation, the two new priests had to overcome the opposition of their families, who were thus losing valuable assistance for their family. Bertrand succeeded in his intention with the help of ;‘,vo of his Christian uncles. The resistance against Joachim's decision lasted even longer; his grandmother and his family were reconciled with him only one month before his ordination. And this even was emphasized through a beautiful gesture during the ordination ceremony: At the inauguration of the rite, the family conducted Joachim to the Bishop as an expression of offering him to the ministry. ***

Presently there are 42 priests who work as missionaries in these continents. Another 30 who have completed their service have already returned to their home diocese. The "Fidei Donum" priests who go to Latin America attend a preparatory course which in the United States is organized by the Society of St. James. In 1978, the "Fidei Donum" Priests formed themselves into a group under the direction of Father Mike Connolly, represents the group on the National Missionary Council. ** *

nasi talks to a blind girl. FREEDOM is our key word this week. Jesus taught freedom to the oppressed, the down-trodden, the poor, the despised. When we think of freedom in this context our first thoughts probably concern people in the third world. We think of them as having little, lacking the of life and in some instances weighed ecessities n down under dictatorial governments. Our thoughts should also concern people who are burdened with greed and who already possess too much; people who are oppressed because they have overloaded themselves with goods on time payment; people who are downtrodden with their own unlimited desires. If we could alllearn to live with less, the necessities of this life could be spread further. . Let us all learn to live more simply so that others may simply live. In that way we will all possess true freedom of spirit. May God love you, —Father PAT AHERN

Unemployed and the church
I believe very strongly that like King Solomon we all need to pray: "Give your servant a heart to understand how to discern between good and evil." The Y.C.W. believes that instead of telling the w orker w here God's grace is to be found, we must learn to see God's grace already at work in working class communities.
Cease to do evil, Learn to do good, Search for justice, Help the oppressed, Be just to the orphan, Plead for the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)
Justice and peace for all is not a new idea in the Church; the Old Testament prophets felt, spoke and acted strongly to tell people about it, so did a man called Jesus and He and His followers have never been silent. The Y.C.W. movement in Perth strongly believes that unemployment is not just a political, economic or social problem, but very much a spiritual one.
DIGNITY
THE IMAGE The high altar in the sanctuary of St. Mary's Cathedral
Altar: Central point in a church buildin By Father Maurice SHINNICK, of Adelaide, writing in "The Southern Cross"
It comes as a shock to people when we say the central point in the church building is the altar. So many would say the central point is the tabernacle. When we say the altar is the principal symbol of Christ, people look amazed. "I thought it was the crucifix," they say. This week I would like to share some thoughts on the altar. St. Epiphanius and St. Cyril of Alexandria both assert that Jesus was at once the victim, priest and altar of his own sacrifice. This truth is preserved for us in the fifth Preface of Easter. But the ancient Fathers of our Church also speak of the Christian as being an altar. Once again in the rite of dedication of a church the essential link between the people and the building and its contents is expressed and celebrated.
S AINTS REQUEST
St. Ignatius of Antioch, on his way to his death as a martyr wrote: "Grant me only this favour; let my blood be spilled in sacrifice to God, while there while there is still an altar ready." St. Polycarp exhorts widows to lead a life of holiness for "they are God's altar." And Pope St. Gregory the Great said: "What is God's altar if not the soul of those who lead good lives? "Rightly then, the heart of the just is said to be the altar of God." But the night before he died, Jesus gathered his friends around a table, and there he offered in sacramental from his own sacrifice. The altar of sacrifice is also the table of the paschal meal.
OF STONE
Throughout the Old Testament we read of holy men and prophets who, when God intervened in the life of the people in some saving action, erected an altar of stone upon which they offered their thanksgiving sacrifice. Christians, true to that spiritual heritage, and with devotion to Jesus, their Saviour, have also erected altars of sacrifice and tables of thanksgiving. In our churches, "the altar is Christ." It draws us to offering, sacrifice, thanksgiving and eating. A s we read in the introduction to the rite of dedication:
LAWN MOWING CONTRACTOR LAWNS CUT FROM $4 TO $7 Morley, Bedford, Dianella, Belga, Girrawheen, K oondoola
Call Graham on 342 7873
"In every church, then, the altar is the centre of the
thanksgiving perfected in the Eucharist and the focal point around which the Church's other rites, are, in a certain manner, arranged." The rite of dedication oft he altar is expressed in four actions. First, it is anointed with oil. "We now anoint this altar. "May God in his power make it holy, a visible sign of the mystery of Christ, who offered himself for the lifeof the world." For Christ means "the anointed one." And he "was anointed by the Father with the holy spirit and constituted him the high priest who on the altar of his body would offer the sacrifice of his life for the salvation of all."
BURNING OF INCENSE The walls of the church are also anointed at this point, usually in 12 places as a symbol that the church is built upon the foundation of the 12 apostles. Second, incense is burned upon the altar. This is another symbol of the sacrifice of Christ "which is there perpetuated in mystery, ascends to God as an odor of sweetness, and also as a sign that the prayers of the people rise up pleasing and acceptable, reaching to the throne of God." The church building is also incensed to show that it is a house of prayer. "But the people of God are incensed before the building, for it is a living temple in which each faithful member is a spiritual altar." Third, the altar is covered with a cloth to show that it is the table of the Lord, the place where the priest and people share the paschal meal of the body and blood of Jesus. Last, the altar is decorated with lights, and candles are also lit throughout the church to teach us "that Christ is a light to enlighten the nations, whose brightness shines out in the Church and through it upon the whole human family."
HOW SIGNIFICANT? I think that the Church's explanation of the significance of the altar, and the richness of the symbolism of its dedication asks of us to re-think our attitude towards the altar. How significant is the altar in our local church? How is it treated? I believe that, in the building of new churches, and in the renovation of older ones, far more care must be placed in the design and placing of the altar. Since it is the symbol of C hrist, to wrap it in hangings, hiding it from the people, would seem to be inappropriate -- the continuing of something from the past which has not place in the liturgy of today. Let us show a new reverence for the altar-table. And as we worship around it in the Eucharist let us remember our own dignity as an altar pleasing to the nrri where We offer the cairifire of our daily life in
The Church has repeatedly taught that every person has the right to work, to develop his or her own personality and talents, to receive a just wage. But in our society the dollar has more say than the Church. In a working class community the Church's image tends to function as a reproach rather than an invitation. The parish church has orderliness and security. It is the defender of married life, proponent of Catholic education, and perhaps is disapproving of the unemployed'? What does this say to y oung people whose lives are chaotic, unstructured and insecure? How many Catholic
By MI-MI JOHNSON schools prepare young p eople to work in industry? Does the Church offer service and allegiance to its people, or does it seek service and allegiance from them? How can the healing and c elebrating Church become aware of the powers and principles at work in the world?
INDUSTRY One starting point is in industry itself. Industry is a human institution and, like all human institutions, it is fraught with potential for good and evil.

MISSION TEAM NEARS GOAL
A new mission team to give parish based missions to youth has been formed in Perth. They are the Redemptorist Youth Team (RYT) and they are an off-shoot from the Redemptorist mission team which has given many missions to the parishes of Perth in the past five years. The Youth Mission team consists of 14 young people and a Redemptorist priest. They have been doing a ten-week training course in mission and leadership skills. Recently they brought their training course towards its end and with a camp in Yen derup. T.hei? VT tuill

To the unemployed the Church must show that they (the unemployed) are made in the image of their Creator and that they have a value and dignity like everyone else and are more important than t he dollar. The change begins in the heart of each of us. One of the greatest evils of the day is the sense of futility. What gooddoes it do? What is the sense of t he small effect?
ONE ACTION Y .C.W. believes in action (big or small). The challenge as Christians and to Christians is to be responsible only for the one action of the present moment and then we can beg for an increase of love in our hearts that will transform these actions and know that God will take them and multiply them as Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes. Do we believe we have a r esponsibility to the unemployed as Christians?

The tourist guide in Jerusalem will take you to Mt. Olivet and actually what he says is the final footprint Jesus left on this earth. Fervent visitors are, understandingly, a little cynical of this huge indentation in the stone. But, nevertheless, at a particular point in time Jesus no longer showed Himself to the disciples a fter the Resurrection. This we celebrate as the A scension. For a time, after the R esurrection, Jesus showed himself to the disciples and instructed them; they became convinced of His presence among them in a new way. The point of the Ascension is that we have in heaven Jesus Christ, God made man, sitting at the right hand of the Father, who understands all our sufferings, frustrations and anxieties and has shared all our joys and happy events.
that he could send The Spirit to be our guide and counsellor. The Ascension nearly always occurs during the May school holidays. It is one of those days when the whole, Catholic school is not sent off to Mass.
CHOICE
Because it is during the holidays, it is up to the parents to remind and set the example for their children by observing the day and celebrating the eucharist of the Risen Lord. This Feast compliments E aster Sunday and reminds us of the words of St. Paul, "If Christ is not r isen, our faith is meaningless."

The church is facing new challenges The pro nuncio
The Church in Australia is facing new c hallenges, the A postolic Pro Nuncio, Archbishop Luigi Barbarito, said in Adelaide.
"The new challenge in Australia is the challenge of a secularised and pluralistic society," he said. "The priest of today in Australia must realise that people — including the faithful — do not accept what he says just because he says it. "They want to know why he says it. They want reasons. "The faith is questioned from every section of society — and we must face this reality. "Unless the priest has a deep spirituality, is deeply committed, has strong convictions and a solid theological formation, he cannot face this challenge — he cannot give the answers. "His reply to secularisation should be the authentic witness of his life."
LAITY Archbishop Barbarito said that lay people have reached adulthood in the Church. "We have a Christianity that is less passive than in the past, and Christians who are less subservient," he said. "I mean less 'subservient' in the sense that they want reasons, motivation, so they can act as Christians out of deep conviction. "They demand priests who are well qualified, well prepared, wit h a deep spirituality and who are ready to face the challenges of these materialistic times." Today's priests, he said, must be dedicated to their

vocation, be committed to celibacy and be men of sound thelogical knowledge. "The crisis of defection of priests has been very serious for the Church, very grave," he said. "It is from the good work of the seminaries, as the Pope has said, that we can measure the fruitfulness of the Vatican Council as it affects the priestly life. "If the priests of tomorrow are holy priests, zealous priests, open-minded priests, priests who are dedicated to their mission, committed to their promises of loyalty to the Church and, fidelity to the c elibate life, priests imbued with the spirit of Christ, solid in faith and with a solid training in theology — then we will have real leaders. "They will lead people by transmitting true doctrine to the people of God and by the example of their lives."
NEW FORM? Archbishop Barbarito said that there was danger of a new form of clericalism. "Lay people look to their priests to give them leadership, to be dispensers of the Word of God and administors of the sacraments —not just social agents," he said. "We must be on guard against a new form of clericalism in which priests act in temporal matters and usurp the true role of lay people. "Lay people have the charisms, the duty and the grace to sanctify the temporal order. "This is not the role of the priest.
HIS ROLE "The priest must be the man of the Eucharist, the man of the Word of God, the announcer of the Gospel, the man who coordinates and animates the community. "He must lead the community, imbue it with the spirit of the Vatican Council and the doctrine of the Church. "He must enunciate C hristian principles clearly. "Then the lay people will act. "They will influence the temporal order, society, their families by the witness of their lives. "They will bring the spirit of the Gospel to the temporal world."
MIGRANTS Archbishop Barbarito said that we had come to a second stage in the history of migration. "We have migrants who have been in Australia for some time and whose children have been born here or brought up here," he said. And with t s come
he said. Those people should be helped. "The people who can help them most are their o wn compatriots," he said. "They share the same language, mentality, culture and approach. "They, too, should be the apostles of their own people."
ABORIGINES A rchbishop Barbarito said that he wanted to learn more about what the Church was doing for Aborigines while he is in Adelaide. "I know the Church here has supported Aborigines," he said. "I know it has done good work — particularly in defending the rights of these people to their own traditions, culture and identity —and to live on their own land. "Their land is everything to these people. "When it is taken away they are like a tree that has been uprooted and which has lost the link which supports its life.
VICTIMS Archbishop BARBARITO "The most delicate problem is that of the generation gap. In the migrant family the generation gap has special overtones. "In many cases the language of the children is not the language of the parents or the grandparents. "Where this happens the older people feel isolated. They are really suffering.
"If we have done our work they will be a syntheses of the Australian Catholic tradition and the Catholic tradition of their fathers, with its special approach to the Mass, the idea of the family and the extended family and a deep piety. piety. "They will be wonderful.2'
FAMILY
REFUGEES
"The apostolate now should be more within the family — bringing them t ogether, helping the young children to learn the language of their parents and grand parents." Archbishop Barbarito said that many migrants when they first came to Australia had spent all their energies on finding economic security. Many had fallen away from practising the faith. "Now that they are economically established they are returning to the practice of the faith," he said. "The generation which has been brought up in Australia can help bridge the gap.
'APOSTLES' "It can help the older migrants to become part of the general community and of the local Church. "This should not be done just by the priests. "It can be done by lay apostles — especially those with a good knowledge of English. They should be the apostles of their own people. "Migrants should be made to feel part of the local Church, an integral part of the parish —not a branch of the Church w hich needs special assistance. "And the third generation?" "Th r
Archbishop Barbarito said that he was impressed by the welcome the Church in Adelaide was giving refugees. "We must do more than give them food, shelter and immediate help," he said. "We must help them to become integrated into t he community. This means more than teaching them English. "If they are Catholics, they must always be made to feel part of the Catholic community —and members of the community with their own contribution to make.
FRESH "People from the young churches, like the Church in Vietnam, bring a freshness of faith. "Their faith has passed through trials. "And their faith is open to the Asian tradition of meditation and contemplative prayer." Some refugees who were n ot Christians were attracted to Christianity,
"When this happens they become easy victims to the evils of the affluent society —alcoholism, isolation, alienation and so on. "They feel they belong to neither the while men's world or the world of their own people. "The land is the sour:eof their identity, then traditions, their culture. "So we must defend their rights to their land and to develop themselves on their own land according to their own culture."

Challenge to Father Dynon's "attack" on psychologists Sir, The proverb "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" might be applied to Fr. Dynon's attack on psychologists. (The Record May 8)
Brother J. B. Duffy, centre, who was one of the original staff at Aquinas College when it opened in 1938 was recently awarded the M. B.E. for his services to education in Australia.

ARENA JOTTINGS ) Yet another of the wellknown voices in radio, at least in cricket broadcasts, will soon be heard no longer. It is that of the British broadcaster and journalist John Arlott, known to thousands, perhaps millions, including Australians, wherever cricket is played whose unmistakable voice has been heard from the BBC for nearly 35 years. In the closing days of A pril he was named as the sports journalist of the year in Britain as the summer of his last broadcasting opened. In the (northern) autumn he will finish commenting for the BBC and finish writing regularly for The Guardian, to w hich newspaper he has been attached for thirty years or more. His accent, it is authoritively stated, is "rich Hampshire" (which will surprise many Australians, including this one, who thought it was something quite different). It was nearly lost in 1948 w hen a BBC executive t old him that he had "an interesting mind but a v ulgar voice", reported S imon Hoggart in the "Weekend Australian". A n actor, Valentine Dyall, stopped him from changing it into the conventional and "posh BBC version by threatening to cut out his tongue if he did so. He started BBC commentaries 34 years ago w hen he was a poetry producer, working in the then Eastern Service. The Indians' tour of Britain was on and the BBC Planned to take ten "live" Commentary each day. Arlott was sent to Worcester to do the ten minutes as the BBC was w orried that local commentators would pronounce the Indians' names wrongly. The venture was a huge success and the next season he covered cricket Continuously, going to lest matches, catching a late train back, producing a couple of programmes and t en tak in ci a sleener

John ARLOTT back to the match. By then the BBC recognised his great talent and in 1947 he covered the South Africans' tour for the domestic service. The Light Programme which included the Test broadcasts won its biggest audience in 1948 when Bradman led the A ustralian touring side. Since that time John Arlott has covered every day of every Test match played in England. His career as writer and commentator was almost abruptly terminated several years ago. He had begun writing for The Guardian in the early fifties and at first w as a second -string soccer writer. He had asked for and was granted permission to go to Europe to cover the match between the famous Manchester United team and Red Star Belgrade in 1958. However, at the last moment he was told that he would not be able to go as the newspaper's chief s occer writer, Danny Davis, who wrote under "An Old International", had decided to Make the trip. He was killed in the Munich air crash in which about half of the famed United team also perished. A cultured man, Arlott is a connoiseur and possessor of fine wines and has a fine library of good books. He is moving from his house in his native Hampshire where he has lived r

home on Alderney in the Channel Islands and, as the new house has only a small cellar for wine, 4,000 of his 5,000-bottle collection has been sent for auction by Christie's who have arranged a special sale for them. The collection includes some oft he rarest wines in existence. He is an authority on wines, having been for a long time the wine correspondent of The Guardian, a post in which he will continue, and having written, prepared three m ore books on the subject. He has a deep hatred of the South African policy o f apartheid and he refused to commentate on the planned 1970 South African tour. He was a close friend of Johnny Malan, nephew o f the Prime Minister w ho established apartheid. John Malan returned to South Africa to oppose his uncle but, according t o Arlott "just disappeared andI never found out what happened to him." Arlott was responsible for getting the "coloured" Basil D'Oliveira into Ruglish cricket. (SEE ALSO P. 12)
The black Catholic conference W ASHINGTON (NC) —The National Office for Black Catholics will hold a conference on "Black Catholics: An Action Agenda for the 80s" at the Bismak Hotel in Chicago in August. The conference will hold workshops in the areas of parish life, family, labour and politics, youth, vocations, prison ministry, lay leadership, education and non-English-speaking black Catholics, particularly the Haitians. Between 1,000 and 2,000 participants are expected. The conference will mark the 10th anniversary of the National Office for Black Catholics
To begin with, he suggests that psychology means personality theory, which is a very narrow view of a discipline which includes many other areas of knowledge, such as learning theory, sensorimot or development, perception, behavioural problems, to mention just a few. His reference to European and American personality _theorists seems to fasten on two extremes, but it is difficult to recognise to which particular theorists he refers in his brief description. Fr. Dynon also seems to lump all psychologists together: he talks about identifying psychology with Christianity. Like doctors, business men and indeed Ministers of Religion, psychologists have different philosophies but, hopefully, are united in the basic ethicof their science, the search for truth about human and animal behaviour. None of them would claim their hypotheses as fact: hypotheses are logical speculations on how data can be understood, which are intended to be tests and, through the r esulting evidence,
adapted, rejected or further developed. If scientists in any science are to be prevented from hypothesising beyond their data, the acquisition of knowledge will come to a grinding halt. I would remind Fr. Dynon that Galileo was also accused of reaching beyond his certain knowledge when he hypothesised that the world was round. Fr. Dynon also seems to be confused between psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors. The first two disciplines have different orientations and training and counsellors come from a number of different backgrounds including social w ork, nursing, ministers of religion and people who are trained for specific purposes, such as marriage counsellors. Many of these have little knowledge of psychological theory and practice. Fr. Dynon suggests that psychologists are not qualified to decide in moral questions: by the same premise, theologians are not qualified to decide psychological questions, so who does
decide? To me, the ethical answer seems to be that the person who is seeking counselling is the one who has the right to decide on the values by which he or she will live. BERNADETTE LYON Riverton
Praise for play Sir, I wish to record my appreciation of "ACCORDING TO LUKE"; one of the presentations for Daybreak 80, performed at the Regal Theatre, Subiaco, on April 15 and 16. C ongratualtions to those responsible for this fine production of the Gospel story. To Sister Zoe for the music, to Sister Emilie, writer and producer, and to Mrs. Roberta Chapman for her assistance in the production. Congratulations also to the pupils of Mary's Mount Primary School for the high standard of their performance. Mrs. R. HASSELL, Wembley.
R eligious education Sir, The development of catechist services (The Record May 8) is noted with pleasure, as catechists will be more and more needed in our parishes as Catholic schooling continues to lag behind the need for Catholic education. I am concerned about declining religious education in State High Schools where the majority of Catholic children must attend to complete their education. Parental knowledge and insight into the developing "Religious Studies" subject to gain entry into State High schools, as you report, is needed. We are much concerned in the Festival of Light that this new subject has an adequate Christian content and emphasis and we look for massive support of Catholic parents to helping us to ensure this.

ARENA JOTTINGS). Unless there is some dramatic turn of events — and that is always possible — Swan Districts appear certain to be the major force in the West A ustralian Football League competition this season. In view of the depth that the club appears to have in its league and minor squads, it might well return to the club's great d ays under Haydn Bunton. Swan Districts have fulfilled every requirement for the top team in the competition and gave a demonstration of their well disciplined play in crushing West Perth. In contrast, South Fremantle have suffered two successive defeats which have revealed chinks in their armour. Further, there is the affair of Malcolm Brown, their coach, which had not been resolved at the time of writing and which cannot be anything but detrimental to the team's performances unless it is quickly settled. Although thoroughly beaten by Swan Districts, West Perth cannot be too heavily discounted, if only because of the ability of their coach, Graham Campbell, who no doubt will find a way to put the team back on its feet. With its defeat of South Fremantle, East Perth have established themselves as a competent combination and by making full use of key players Barry Cable should be able to keep the team in or near the "four". Claremont, after a losing patch, have improved considerably, as shown by -their victory over South Fremantle, narrow as it was. There is still a lot of reliance on Graham Moss but he is shouldering the burden manfully, at times brilliantly.
Claremont no doubt hope that he will be able to maintain his form and not be sidelined through injury. East Fremantle are not yet out of a fairly deep through and Subiaco are still struggling, although with signs of substantial improvement. Perth, who were one game out of the "four" at the end of the sixth round of matches, might prove to be the dark horses of the competition now that they have gone some way towards correcting a lack of big men. A disturbing feature of t he sixth round of matches was the fact that the WAFL Tribunal had to punish six players for unfair play — in some instances the offences were quite serious. This gave rise to questions relating to the powers of and "support" for umpires and to the matter of eliminating rough play and disorder from the game. The umpires' advocate, R ay Montgomery, expressed the opinion that the umpires were "not supported well enough" in football today. The tribunal chairman, Mr. B. M. O'Sullivan pointed out that it was not the job of that body to "protect" umpires but to adjudicate on the evidence — "if a charge is unable to be sustained it will be dismissed". This matter can only be a matter of opinion as to the severity or otherwise of any punishment meted out and a matter for the umpire or umpires reporting an alleged offence and then giving t he relevant evidence. Umpires make honest mistakes, so does everybody else including tribunal chairman, as Mr. O'Sullivan pointed out associated with this
was up to the players to correct their own faults rather than to lay the blame for lack of success elsewhere. Rodney Marsh, whom Hughes replaced in the W.A. captaincy, also contributed in an intelligent — and gracious —way in a television interview in which he said that the appointment of Hughes to the W.A. post would be advantageous for the future in that if Hughes were to captain Australia, as seemed likely, the more experience in captaincy he could get the better; he had somewhat limited experience up to the present. If Western Australia can obtain a reasonable proportion of their Test men's services for the Shield games next season they can still be a strong force in the competition.
By BERNARD JAY aspect of the game and there is little if anything that can humanly be done about that. At the risk of being tiresomely repetitive there is something that can be done about reducing unfair play and that is to give umpires the power to order offending players off the ground. This is an instant punishment which lasts until the end of the game and is effective in other codes. Many followers of the game, including some who have played it, often ask why this penalty is not invoked in the Australian code when it is used in other codes of footabll and, in fact, in other equally vigorous games. * * * Kim Hughes made an eminently sensible statement about future Australian cricket after he had been selected as captain of the State team for the 1980-81 season — an appointment which in view of his vice-captaincy of the Australian Team of the Australian Test team did him and Western Australia great credit. Hughes pointed out that it was necessary for the Australian authorities to establish a Sheffield Shield schedule and an international programme which enabled Test men to be available in all States for the Shield games — something which did not happen in the past season, with drastic results for the Shield competition. Apart from the spectators' point of view Shield games sharpened the Test players players' form, he said. He also referred to W.A.'s lack of success in last season's Shield competition and in forthright terms made it clear that it

The return of South Africa's Springboks to international rugby last weekend might represent a significant advance in the vexed problem of South Africa's policy of apartheid and its competing in international sport. A fter four years in "exile" because of apartheid the Springboks met a South American team at Johannesburg and won handsomely, 24 points to nine. It was four years since t he Springboks last played in a Test match — in Durban in 1976 when they beat New Zealand's All Blacks narrowly, 15 to 14. Despite the long "layoff the South Africans displayed all their characteristic flair, speed and accuracy and, with seven new men in the team, were too strong for the South Americans, who were all from Argentina. Since the New Zealand Test the Springboks, like the national cricket team,
had been isolated from the international arena because of the political boycott arising from the apartheid policy. However, although the South American team probably was not quite up to the standard of, say, the All Blacks or the Lions, South Africa's participation in a match against t hem might herald a break in the somewhat bitter stalemate which exists on South Africa's exclusion from much international sport. There is still strong vocal and at times physical opposition to South Africa in international sport in several Western countries and the current sporting-political world climate may be delaying factor in healing the rift (if it is ever to be fully healed). The current South African tour of the British Lions, although undertaken in the face of controversy and strong opposition in some quarters in Britian, may also be a factor in extending South Africa's participation in the international effort but it will be necessary to test opinion more fully before any substantial trend can be determined.
