The proposed widening of Beatrice Street by five metres on each side to serve on-off ramps and a freeway flyover will bring a vastly-increased traffic flow to within a few metres of the church door and slice five metres off an alreadynarrow school playground. The parishioners' fears of this development were expressed this week by Mr. Michael Grimes, a member of the parish council.

A ccording to Redemptorist researcher, Father Michael Mason the Church in Australia will have to look at the effectiveness of its parish structures. "The problem with the parish structure is that although it will remain useful as a unit for the provision of services it is increasingly ineffectual for primary pastoral care," he said. "It is just too large and the contact lay ministries are developing to supplement the decline in priests the basic Christian community structures are not developing in time to take the place of the parish. "It is proving todemand such a fundamenta I change in our attitudes to parish and ministry that it is not showing signs yet of getting off the ground in Australia, even though parishes find it increasingly difficult to function in pastoral care. "It isgoing tobethecauseofa severe crisis in the future that is evident in the declining number of people we are able to see. We are not able to reach the people who need the care.

Additions to education body
The Catholic Education Commission has announced significant changes in the appointment of members to the State body that was established by the conference of Bishops and Major Religious
Superiors in WA in 1971.
The statute for the commission will be re-drafted to increase membership from 12 to 14. The additional two members will be drawn from lay teachers in Catholic schools and from priests working in parishes.

A JUBILEE 0F25 YEARS A love of Mary and an advertisement in a Carmelite magazine brought Father Brian Pitman to the Carmelite priesthood in which he celebrated 25 years last Friday night at Hilton. Presiding over the Mass gathering was Archbishop Goody who knew Father Pitman as a lad at Toodyay convent and later as a student at St. Charles's Seminary. The grandson of Detective-sergeant Pitman, the victim of a brutal 1926 Kalgoorlie gold-stealing murder, Father Pitman is on his first permanent appointment to his home State of WA after 21 years lecturing to Carmelite and other theological students in Victoria. A prolific reader and writer himself, Father Pitman is concerned that theologians find a proper place for Mary in a changing theological scene. At a time when psychology was presenting prototypes, Christians have failed to see the Church presenting Mary as a type of the Church and head of the whole body of Christians.

churches stood on busy roads and they had been designed and built for such circumstances, but this situation had not entered into the design and construction of St. Dominic's. About 250 people had attended a recent public meeting, convened by the City of Stirling, to protest against the proposals. Chaired by the Mayor of Stirling, Mr. Graham Burkett, it had been addressed by senior representatives of the Metropolitan Region Planning Authority, the Main Roads Department and the traffic engineer of the City of Stirling. Statements that the BeatriceCedric streets link and consequent road widening were necessary to cope with increased traffic flow were denied by Beatrice Street Action Group speakers who emphasised that the link was not necessary and the increased traffic would be adequately catered for by the other on-off ramps planned.
The meeting approved a resolution calling on the Stirling City Council to rescind its approval of November, 1970, for the declaration of Beatrice S treet as an important regional road and requesting -Just the present Ihave been wanting- says the planning authorities to Carmelite jubilarian Father Brian Pitman as he proceed with extensions to the receives books on St. Theresa of Avila from freeway broadly following the senior Hilton altar server Aldan Perse. plans of 1978.

Studies on the churchi needs A conference meeting of heads of religious orders in WA is undertaking a study of needs and priorities of the Catholic Church in WA.
ore involvement wr handicapped people has been a 26-year-old wish f or Sister Maureen McCarthy.
The matter was discussed at a recent two-day meeting w hen the major religious superior of orders in WA met with the Bishops of Western Australia to study education and other Statewide issues.
As a trainee teacher in 1954 at Claremont she dearly wanted to work in special classes but the only activity of the sort at the time was being conducted by the Slow Learning Children's Group. Last week she was appointed by the Archdiocese of Perth as a family counsellor to work alongside the Catholic Care for Intellectually Handicapped and under the responsibility of Father Rodney Williams. She describes her new role as the 'merciful' expression of her vocation as a Sister of Mercy.
Before the meeting, the superiors approached the Senate of Priests to for opinions on the needs of the Church locally. Ten priests of the Senate submitted ideas which were incorporated in further discussions at the superiors' meeting and which will be studied at a reconvened meeting later this year. Needs presented to the meeting and felt to be the greatest were: • Further training of laity. • Further training for family life. • Youth. • Catholic schools. • Greater lay participation. • Adult education. After the lengthy discussion the matter of Catholic schools was brought into second place as a need followed by family and adult education issues. Assessors of the programme noted that the headings chosen possibly o verlapped in some areas and that these would be clarified before the next meeting.

Regular Mass
Catholic Care for the Handicapped had come of age. Archbishop Goody issued a statement outlining pastoral principles, hitherto unexpressed publicly anywhere in Australia, in which he noted: • The faith of the family in the Lord makes up for any lack in their handicapped child. • Communion can be given to the children if they are accompanied by members of the family. • Parents may give the communion host to the child if there is a risk of being upset by strangers. • Parents can make a decision about the frequency of communion and not feel obliged to have the child receive communion each time they do so t hemselves. As a result of these initiatives Mass is now said regularly by Father Rodney Williams at the Pyrton Training Centre. Sixty families are already in contact with Catholic activity for the handicapped but the movement wants to contact the many more families that may not have heard of the work, Sister Maureen said. Her phone number is 361 1064.

FAITH RENEWAL
Provide bins for litter from cars
s By Mrs M. Phillips, Metcalfe Street Thornlie P6108.
Belmont parish this week attempt a Renewal of Faith course on a scale untried anywhere in Perth. To cope with the nearly 200 participants, three meetings a night for five nights a week will be held in 15 host family homes. Fifteen people did the programme two months ago and the idea was born to make it a wider parish programme. A committee of five has recruited interest through distributing brochures, and making personal contact, doing parish census at the same time. Their efforts will be supplemented by 40 presenters in a campaign to develop greater parish community awareness and lay leadership.

Alcohol can damage foetus
DRINKING MUMS RISKING Message THEIR through BABIE
Kylie Gates andBen Cypher from Grade 2, Majella School, Belga, with a mission ladder.
Children are really getting the message about sharing and caring for other children.
Recently, after Ihad preached at a parish Mass a young altar server gave me 20 cents for the mission c ollection. He said that the collectors didn't come up to collect it, so he gave it to me himself. Two grade six Catholic primary school girls recently gave me 27 cents after they had seen a mission film. I had explained to them that we must all make sacrifices to help children in mission countries. It was just before lunch time, and the girls obviously sacrificed the money they would have spent on lollies. May God bless their generosity, and may we all learn the lesson of sharing and caring. FATHER PAT AHERN * * *
Divine Word priests and brothers are still working in Communist China. The Superior General recently received a letter from one of the Brothers after a space of 26 years. The letter sent greetings from the priests and brothers of Lanchow and Tsinghai. The Brother thanked the Superior G eneral for money they had r eceived and urgently requested missals in Chinese. Correspondence is difficult as the missionaries have to change their address frequently because of the pressure from the Patriotic Church. * * *
Priests have been expelled from the Rupununi area of Guyana. Bishop Benedict Singh of Georgetown, Guyana, said that false allegations had been made against the Priests, but nothing had been proved. The Bishop also said that he had been told that if the church were less vocal on human rights issues, or if certain priests were silenced, there w ould be no problems. But the Bishop firmly re-iterated that the promotion of justice and human rights is part of the gospel message. To remain silent in the face of flagrant injustices would be to neglect one's duty, the Bishop said. Bishop Singh concelebrated a special Mass with some of the expelled Priests as an open sign of solidarity. * * *
Mother Theresa believes that love must be given on a personal level, a one to one basis. Numbers are unimportant. To her, every person is Christ, and therefore each person to whom you give yourself, is the one person in the world at that moment. W ouldn't we all become more charitable if we apply these counsels to our own lives?

The noisy scrub bird, thought to be extinctuntil its re-discovery in 1961, appears to be thriving now in its natural habitat at Two Peoples Bay near Albany.
Until 1973 numbers remained fairly stable at between 40 and 50 pairs of birds, the WA Department of Fisheries and Wildlife reports. Today there are 72 breeding p airs plus about 20 nonbreeding males which are holding territories. Each breeding male bird requires a territory of about 10 hectares, so the pressure of numbers is forcing young males out of the Mt. Gardner Penin-
sula into new areas where they can establish their own territories. The department attributes the flourishing state of the noisy scrub bird society largely to the cessation of the former practice of putting a controlled burn
every five years through the heathland in which they live. It is cautiously optimistic that numbers will increase but there is a limit to the quantity that the nature reserve can support. This brings up the question of whether other areas can be found and a separate colony of the birds established. Any new area would have to be managed and fires prevented. Three other rare bird species on the Two Peoples Bay nature reserve — the western whip bird, the brown bristle bird and the southern emu wren — are also increasing in numbers.

WARNING ON 'DEMAND' ORTION
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (NC) — Mayor Alper has appealed to Pope John Paul II for help in revoking the sale by an order of nuns of an 11-acre property in the town to the controversial Unification Church o f the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception sold property which had been used as a retreat house, to a businessman for $1 million. Later the same day t he businessman, without the knowledge of the Sisters, sold the propertyfora $ 127,000 profit to the Unification Church. The mayor said that Unification Church "uses kids" and he added that he did not want that done in Gloucester. Responding to charges that he is against religious freedom, Alper said, "Look, I'm Jewish. How can I be against religious freedom?

APPEAL: RETURN STOLEN HOSTS
NEW YORK (NC) — Catholic Relief Services is currently providing emergency food assistance for drought areas in Ethiopia. About 100 tons of food has been sent so far and CRS hopes to provide further aid in co-operation with other international agencies. Ethiopia has been seeking international aid as a prolonged drought in many areas of the African country since 1978 has caused severe food shortages. "The number of people exposed to the danger of famine is estimated at 5.1 m illion," said a government report.
St. Benedict had a message: Cardinal

"We shall know wisdom, "St. Benedict was the master of wisdom," realising that humans were both flawed and "immensely precious in the eyes of God," the cardinal told the people nearly filling the huge church. That wisdom must guide contemporary life too, he suggested. "We are a fallen race, but the ideals are there and unless we strive all the time to realise them, we run the risk of being less than fully human. "Man without God is not fully human," he added. In modern life "God calls us through the voices of the poor, of the hungry, of the oppressed; through the anguish of the bereaved and the suffering, through the old and the sick," he SAN FRANCISCO (NC) — Christianity is first of all an said. "Harden not your hearts," The world's only Benedictine cardinal thinks so. Cardinal Hume of Westminster, England, on an American tour to celebrate the 1,500th anniversary of St. Benedict's birth, said in a homily on June 15 that the saint had a contemporary message: Seek God and wisdom, and the world's problems may be solved. By making God the first concern, living the Gospel and remaining faithful to Christ "we shall see our way to feeding the hungry, helping the poor, bring*

Dame Mary Durack is one of Australia's oremost authors. f Through painstaking research, she has drawn on her rich family background to reward her thousands of readers with great books such as Kings in Grass Castles. In July, 1882, the Duracks went by ship to Cambridge Gulf, unloaded their horses and undertook a six-month trip up the Ord River and then west to Beagle Bay. They liked what they saw and on their return to Coopers Creek in Queensland began mustering cattle immediately. In May, 1883, they set out on a classic overland cattle drive that finally brought them to the Ord River in September, 1885. Their courage and persistence triumphed over the trials brought by the years and they became the Kings in Grass Castles. Dame Mary has written about a score of books, a number illustrated by her talented artist sister Elizabeth, in addition to stage plays and radio and television works. Columnist Virgilia of the old Western Mail would dash breathless out of her den and say to the office boy: "Alex, be a dear and rush over to Foys for some more cakes I've got extra country visitors for afternoon tea."

The ever-obliging Alex would comply with alacrity and be back in a flash with the food. Virgilia is now Australian literary giant Dame Mary Durack and Alex is Professor Alex Kerr, Deputy ViceChancellor of Murdoch University. "I also doubled as Aunt Mary in those pre-war days on the Western Mail," Dame Mary laughed in reminiscence as she sat at the table piled with documents in one of the two areas of her Nedlands home w here she has written works like her best-selling Kings in Grass Castles.

The shy Aborigines stayed away from the crowd that gathered, but next day Dame Mary conducted them on a tour of the home and they were fascinated. They spent a lot of time in the Aboriginal Room, for which she hopes to gather more items, and in the Stockmen's Room they knew the history of every article, who made every saddle and when. The photographs in the Family Room drew excited and accurate comments from them.
The Rock and the Sand is another of her books high on her favourite list. "When Bishop Jobst took over in the Kimberleys," Dame Mary recollects, "he asked me to do a series of articles for The Record and other Catholic newspapers in Australia on the Church's missions in the Kimberleys in the hope of raising money and support for the wonderful work and they were doing unhonoured and unsung. "These I did and the Bishop suggested that they should be published in book form, but I had to disagree because they were not suitable for publication in book form.

Dame Mary was born in Adelaide and educated at the old Loreto Convent in Adelaide Terrace while her brothers went to school at the nearby CBC. The old family home still stands on the south-east corner of Adelaide Terrace and Victoria Avenue. In 1938 she married aviation pioneer Captain Horrie Miller and they had six children, of whom four are still living.

The finest of Kevin Johnson That brilliant Australian singer song-writer Kevin Johnson has a new album around town called The Best Of Kevin Johnson. This favourite Australian must rate as one of the country's top performers. His songs have a meaning and beauty that can be embarrassing to define. His career began in the early 60's when he started writing songs for Col Joye and other stars of the very popular Bandstand. He recorded his first album In The Quiet Corners Of My Mind in 1969 and followed with the hit Bonnie Please Don't Go. His first own big hit came with rock'n'rollI Gave You The Best Years Of My Life The songs selected for which topped the charts in "The Best Of' take you on a Australia, UK, NZ and journey of human emotions.

Entering a "young" disco is quite an experience for an "old" man like me. The throbbing drums and guitars dull my hearing, the flashing coloured strobe lights dim my vision. The semi -darkness conceals the identity of the many pulsating bodies. It is not the best way to have an intimate c onversation unless you really try to corner someone sitting down. Last Saturday night at Victoria Park disco was one of many occasions whenImet familiar faces. It was one of the happiest discos for me asImet some new and different. Icrouched next to a young man exhausted from his dancing and my first reaction was one of apprehension; he appeared very shy and I thought I would have difficulty in c ommunication with him. To my surprise he quickly overcame his shyness, by reaching out to stoke and run his fingers through my beard. My early apprehensions disappeared because he was so full of love and affection and gave me a big hug. Nella Colasante rushed over and introduced me to my friend, Paul Travers,a young eighteen-year -old mentally handicapped youth. Paul was one of five mentally handicapped youth who had come to the disco with the "Saturday Friends" working under the supervision of Mrs. Marie Harper of Bentley.

Spotlight on our schools With Year 8 form master, Father H enry McFall, in the centre of the f ront row, these boys are representatives of Year 8 and Year 9 at Mazenod College which is situated in a bush setting in the hills of Lesmurdie. Father Michael Mc Mahon is the principal. Founded in 1966 by the Oblate Fathers, it caters not only for an area extending from Mundaring to Armadale, but also for students from country areas who board at the college. It is administered by the Oblate Fathers and four of the Order's priests share the teaching, sporting and religious activities of the school with a dedicated lay staff. The college strives to develop what it sees its main characteristics to be: Concern for the pastoral care of the individual student, and a strong sense of community involving parental participation in every facet of school life. It provides for all secondary classes to Year 12, and its present enrolment is 300 students. Recently completed facilities give it a capacity for another 100 students. Further to its normal educational aims, Mazenod seeks to develop in its students an awareness and concern for poverty, injustice and need in the world and in their midst. This week has been set aside to concentrate on these concerns through speakers, films and various activities integrated with the normal curriculum subjects.
It is hoped that the present voluntary involvement with visiting of the aged and the care of the needy through the Oblate soup kitchen in Fremantle will expand to other areas of concern. A recent achievement of the college has been the completion of a multi-purpose gymnasium. Built largely with the help of parents, former students and staff, the building is offered as a community facility for drama, sporting activities and social events. E xpansion proposals for the future include provision of a media room and a new manual training wing to expand the present woodworking facility to include metal work.

• Everybody agrees that the Church is not reaching out. Our first job is to clean up the household of the faith so that anyone we welcome back can feel at home and can find a place in which they want to be. We have to help to put the house in order and then we can look outwards.
PROBLEMS IN THE CHURCH FACING DECLINE
A sk a religious researcher like Redemptorist Father Michael Mason what are the problems facing the Australian Catholic Church and he will point you in the direction of the Commonwealth Census 1976.
"There is a marked change in the Church in Australia" he said in Perth recently. "We have emerged out of the warmth of the household of the faith into the rather icy air of the contemporary situation. "The growth of the Catholic Church has peaked essentially. "We have ridden the escalator of demographic growth since the 1930's and that has now stopped. We are beginning to slide downwards in most States." Father Mason is not being dramatic just for effect. He is concerned that the Catholic Church in Australia read the current signs and takes effective pastoral action. To prove his point he cites the decline of 13,000 in the Catholic population of Victoria in the years 1971-1976. Father Mason does not try to explain the fact merely in terms of the census. He sees clearer reasons Father MichaelMason who on his secondprofessionalvisit for the decline. to Perth, discusses the future of the Church.
