The Catholic Church, in its consistent opposition of divorce, has been Eoften criticized for lack of compassion and appreciation of the misery that exists in many f amilies, Father Barry Hickey, director of Centrecare, said this week. He was commenting on the opening of the Synod of EBishops on the vote of the Christian family. The Church is no stranger to marital troubles. While she appears to be the most active group in the community presenting the vision of what marriage can be, especially in the light of the teachings of Christ, she has for a long time sought Eto prepare young people for marriage and provide help and guidance for marriages in trouble, he said.

He said the synod would deal with pastoral concerns of Christian family life from the perspective of the family as E" a "community of love" and a source of sanctification and education in values. "The family today finds itself, in many areas, in the eye of the cyclone," the archbishop said, and the synod will discuss the many social, economic and other factors that directly or indirectly affect family life. He said it will talk about positive factors that can help a E-_- family life such as broadened educational possibilities, E- scientific advances, better understanding of sexuality and the re-evaluation of the role of women. It will also talk about negative factors such as divorce, a abortion living together without marriage, and a variety of social forces that can hurt family life, he said. Pope John Paul II has told the 216 bishops taking part that they face the task of showing "what it means to follow christ in the field of married and family life." In his talk in February to the council of the synod secretariat, Pope John Paul said the synod should discuss "difficult cases" such as "those of homes 'which _ know separation — those of divorced and civilly remarried persons who, without being able to have full access to the sacramental life, must be accompanied in their spiritual and apostolic needs wherever possible — the case of widows and widowers — the case of single persons who have children." Cardinal Carter of Toronto, said recently he thought Pope John Paul's influence would affect the synod's discussions of family life.

Father Joe Russell's popular historical pieces that appeared in The Record in 1978 in "Around the Churches This Week" came out in print this week. "Most people will find history boring so I have tried to present events from the past as though they are happening now. Father Russell, who is on light priestly duties atStJohn of God Hospital, Belmont (277 2675), has always been interested in script writing for drama and role playing exercises that were used when he was director of the Catholic Marriage Guidance Council. "I hope that the book will prove useful in schools or for people who want to think a little over what has happened in the Church in the past. "It is not a book to be read in one sitting. An incident can be read anytime. In fact it would be an ideal way to fill in the time during a television commercial — and after. ."

Nevertheless, she has always held that promises made for life mean what E--. they say , he said. We have to preach lifelong fidelity in a culture that t akes breakdown and divorce for granted, the E. Covenant of Marriage in a w orld disenchanted with family life and stability, and sexual abstinence before marriage in a culture that puts hedonism before love. It seems impossible, but we know that Jesus did it once before. Why did Jesus' teachings t ake? One reason, surely, is because they were in a total context of faith. With an acceptance of the Good News about the redemption of mankind the new teachings on marriage made sense. Without that faith they could not be accepted. Perhaps that is why as faith recedes in our modern world, even among baptized Catholics, the teachings of Jesus on marriage become incomprehensible. Our preaching on marnage, then, is to be very much part of our preaching of the whole Faith.

Savings Centres throughout Western Australia, we're near you. But no other building society comes near us. Father Russell is watching his book coming off the press this week: During the last two decades many Catholics have been shocked by widely-publicised Church scandals. People thought that such things were happening for the first time. This book tries to help them realise that "it has all happened before". Far from being shocked they should reflect on the fact that the continued survival of the Church, despite its human weaknesses, may be the greatest proof that the Catholic Church is divine as well as human.

Lake Grace on the map

Margaret O'Neill, a 17 year old Year 12 student at Mosman Park has well and truly put her lona College and her home town of Lake Grace on the map. As the school's first and only entrant for the John Forrest Award she passed 102 other competitors to take off the open competition receiving a $100 prize, a certificate, a medallion of John Forrest and an airline ticket for two to Geraldton or Kalgoorlie. The competition is sponsored by the Geographical Association and the Institute of Cartographers. For her entry Margaret decided to explore the country town to where she had gone to school until transferring to Iona three years ago. Although her maternal grandparents came to settle in the district, the experience was still an eye-opener for Margaret. "We used to go to town shopping about once a fortnight but I didn't really know much about the town" she said. So Lake Grace shoppers were surprised at the questions they were being asked one Saturday morning recently. She also looked into the history of the 70 year old town and did a mapping survey without using any other published material before putting together a 35 page report. Her effort is part of her Leaving certificate geography studies but Margaret is not sure if her career lies in that direction.

Parents: where else to go for example?

Just as it is easy to ignore your own girth andspotthe over -fed and under -exercised Norms in the neighbourhood, so it is easy to talk about what is wrong with everybody else's family life and marriage today. Considering the clear Catholic position on a number of issues andtheemphasis given in preaching and t eaching the Cathol ic sector should be proportionately in better marriage fitness than the rest. But there are signs that muscles in the Catholic Body are growing flabby too: • Catholic adolescents are coming out of school unaware of what the Church teaches about marriage and family, and how it is going to affect their choice of a partner. • They are meeting and marrying divorced persons. • There are Catholic unmarried mothers and young Catholic men running scared from parental responsibility they have incurred. • Reputedly sound Catholicfamilies are breaking up after many years of marriage and the number of Catholic single parents is on the increase as couples separate. It puts new pressure on the Church. To each one of these tragedies it must offer the forgiveness and compassion that are the mark of a loving and forgiving God. At the same time it must speak out relentlessly against the disease that has afflicted modern family life and of which these people are the v ictims. The good news is that a variety of programmes such as Family Life groups, Marriage Encounter, Renewal of Faith are putting faith and Christian stamina back into homes that a few years ago felt they were going down under the pressures of the day. But these and the growing marriage preparation movement are still only reaching the minority. It will need more than pious comfortable cliches about how wonderful marriage used to beta meet the strain that small size, money pressure and mobility are putting on married relationships „ today. Too many Catholics have swallowed the myth that Christian marriage means only a frothy wedding ceremony in a church, shrugging off the reality that often within a year those same marriages are gasping for breath. The time has come to step down out of the clouds, teaching what Jesus said, assert the link between genuine sexuality and love, between family life and holiness, and what religion in the home is really all about. Then a renewal of family life will have a sense of appeal to a world bankrupt of ideas but desperate f or an answer from those who should know, not least the Catholic community. ,.••••• • • 26 John Street, Perth WA 6000. • The • • Correspondence: : 1 The Editor, The Record, PO Box 50 • Aberdeen Street, Perth, 6000. : 4 Advertising: • Vanguard Service Telephone 328 1388 ,41 registered for posting as a newspaper Category "A" (11). • Produced in WA Printed and published weekly by Edward van Heemst, • 26 John Street, Perth. • • Established 1874 •

Chris, Clare and Simon Rose, of Sorrento, with a mission poster. The Catholic Missions Office always tries to keep expenses to a minimum. The Pontifical Mission Aid Societies aim to send the greater part of every donation direct to the missions. Some expenses are necessary but these are cut to cover essentials. Our dedicated office staff includes volunteers who give their services free. Distribution points for aid are through the worldwide network of established Catholic Missions. No new offices are needed. We do not advertise on television or radio because it is too expensive. Nor do we produce glossy brochures which absorb funds. As a result, confidence with people has built up over the years bgause they know that their donations will be well used. May the Lord continue to bless and reward all our generous donors, and may they continue their support for the future. Father PAT AHERN *** When Father Marie Bernard, Prior of the Dzogbegan Bebedictine Community in Togo, returned recently after a years absence, he received a welcome never to be forgotten. The Christians of the village, led by their chief asked him to sit down. They spread perfumed powder on his neck, arms and feet; a white cloth was tied around his wrist. (He discovered later that white was the sign of life). Finally he was completely wrapped in a large coloured cloth which is reserved for those in authority. * * *

The Cistercian Monastery of Dutendi in Uganda was recently hit by a rocket missile. One member was killed and the rest fled for safety. When they returned several weeks later, the whole monastery had been looted. * * *

Brother Simon Ly Seng, a Kampuchean Benedictine of Vietnamese parents, recently made his final profession at Landevennec Abbey in France. Because he was unable to return to his own country, the profession ceremony incorporated several Kampuchean customs. Three members of his former monastery were present and some friends wore traditional clothes. The readings were in French and Vietnamese. *** A community of Benedictine Sisters at Thu-Duc in Vietnam are finding it very difficult to live. Only three of their twelve sisters can be officially registered as workers. This gives them the privilege of a worker's food rationing card. Each of these sisters earns around 30 piastres a month when subsistence living is 100 piastres a month. * * *

A group of Euopean monks recently visited the Sri Aurobindo Ashram near Delhi, India. There are about one hundred residents of the Ashram which has its own printery, library and art school.

1 Norman Richard (Dick) Fletcher is the WA Com-missioner for Consumer Affairs. B orn in New Zealand in 1924 and educated in A uckland, he became a fully-qualified radiographer at that city's Green Lane Hospital before transferring to Melbourne in 1960 as manager of the medical X-ray division of Kodak. There he did six years' part-time study and obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Melbourne University. He came to Perth as State manager of Kodak in D ecember, 1968, and was appointed to his present °sition on July 1, 1975. LP

Fletcher way is to teac

The big table near his desk in the office was piled with files and documents — an indication of the nine statutes the Consumer Affairs Bureau administers — but his desk was as neat as the diminutive man himself. There was a clean ash tray in the clearing at the end of the table where we talked, but it remained unused during the interview because Dick Fletcher gave up smoking three years ago. By virtue of the element of enforcement in the nine Acts through which his Bureau operates — some of them carry heavy penalties — he is probably one of the S tate's most powerful civil servants. But to his satisfaction he very rarely has "to come the heavy" because his guiding principles of education and rapprochement between disputing customers and suppliers are obviously succeeding. There has been something of a move away from the original concept of protecting consumers towards instructing them and getting them together with manufacturers when a disagreement arises. "It is a social justice exercise," Dick says. "Although there are certain enforcement requirements, we're not here to beat the business community over the head. We're here as negotiators."

Complaints Most of the complaints received by the Consumer Affairs Bureau which he heads are about motor vehicles (32 per cent of the total) and building and construction (17 per cent). This is why the CAB has on its staff three qualified motor engineers and two registered builders. These five professionals investigate and report on the many technical matters in their fields that arise from complaints. Witness that the CAB is not an empire-building organisation is provided by the fact that additions to its staff in the past five years number only two, a deputycommissioner and a legal officer, bringing the total to 32. Except for administrative people, the rest of the staff is made up of c omplaints officers and investigation officers. The complaints officers are the C AB's front-line troops and they have to have a lot of patience and S ympathy with people because they S pend all day listening to complaints. The specially-trained and experienced investigation officers constitute the more senior elements of the staff. Their main duty is to look into alleged breaches of the Acts the C AB administers.

*By BOB BOYLE

Today's People A weekly feature After motor vehicle and building problems, most complaints come up in the field of consumer durables such as TV sets and washing machines. Lots of complaints are caused through misundertandings by consumers and for that reason the CAB has a full-time education officer who spends her time in activities such as liaison with schools and community groups and the production of pamphlets and brochures. These well-produced brochures get the message across in layman's language and their titles — like Be Sure Before You Sign, Buying a Car, Door to Door Sales and Safer Night Clothes — point accurately to their content. Dick says that door-to-door selling has attracted a lot of people who do not know the provisions of the Act, and some who don't want to. One result of this has been complaints from customers who find themselves committed to buying an item when they thought they were renting or leasing it. Ensuring the safety of products is one of the roles played by the CAB. In 1978 the Consumer Affairs Act was amended to ensure the safety of products reaching the consumer and the Bureau has power to ban the sale of articles it considers to be unsafe. The latest published annual report of the CAB shows that in 1978-79 a total of 7,684 people sought direct assistance and advice from the Bureau and were interviewed by Bureau officers. During the year 4,502 formal complaints were received and 4,815 complaints were finalised. Dick met his wife Diana when she was a nurse at the Green Lane Hospital in Auckland where they both worked. They have a family of four girls and three boys ranging in age from nine to 30 years and they live at Carine Glades. Dick was the first chairman of the parish council at St Denis Church at Joondanna and Diana is the president of the school's Parents and Friends Association.

The monkeys are Japanese macaques which once swarmed over the Japanese islands. Now only 3,000 of them are left in isolated pockets. Three separate groups are living up to their namesakes, the three wise monkeys, by surviving in one of the most overcrowded countries on earth. One group are slumdwellers in the middle of Kyoto, the old imperial capital of Japan. Others, in the southern tip of Japan, live relatively free and are fed by scientists who study their behaviour.

Southern Cross Homes Inc. will start construction of a retirement village this year at Rossmoyne on a 2.2hectare site bought f rom the Pallottine order. It will be located on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Houtmans Street and the first occupants will move in next year. Because of the infrequent vacancies that occur in the retirement villages that Southern Cross Homes administers at Embleton and North Perth, it has decided to establish the Rossmoyne development to continue to meet its responsibility of providing visiting health well under roonfor care suitable accommodation Planning isself-contained lOthersupport peothe for way and supporting facilities ple so as hairdressers. units; a start on the hostel's for aged people. a waiting confirmation, expected soon, of a commitment for funding by the The Rossmoyne site is Department of Social Thclkontained housclose to Leach Highway Security. ing its till be either of and the southern extension Also awaiting approval is one ovlbedrooms with a of Kwinana Freeway and autumn a day centre, or lounidting room, kitexisting bus routes place it centre, on the site.

State welfare housing authorities have reached crisis point in trying to provide cheap housing f or a fast-expanding group in the social structure - the single-parent family. In the Eastern States there are an estimated 30,000 single-parent families - involving up to 90,000 people - on long waiting lists for low-rent government housing. Throughout Australian, state government housing organisations are finding it hard to cope with the demands which single-parent families place on their resources. The situation has been aggravated by the 50 per cent erosion in federal grants for national welfare housing over the past five years. In the same period, the singleparent phenomenom has emerged as possibly the worst problem of the welfare housing system, already unable to cope with the needs of the poor, the underpriveleged and the aged. And those single-parent families already placed in State housing, 95 per cent of them headed by unmarried women and deserted wives with an average age of 25, are creating a disastrous new kind of ghetto. The six State housing authorities and the Northern Territory Housing Commission agree the situation can only get worse. The deputy general manager of the NSW Housing Commission,

By JANE DAR GAVILLE in The Australian.

Mr Paul Bartels, reluctantly forecasts that the community will eventually "revolt" against the single-parent family because of the drain on all areas of social welfare, as well as on housing. He said "landlords have always been reluctant to accept single parents who generally rely on social benefits as their only income." The NSW Housing Commission really has no idea how many singleparent families it houses but it is at least 30 per cent of the 400,000 people accommodated by the commission. Another 15,000 single-parent families have applied for housing and can expect to wait three to four years. In five years the number of singleparent applicants for housing in NSW has risen from 26 per cent to 49 per cent of the total number of family applications. Mr Bartels said: "The policy of the

commission is to have a population of not more than 30 per cent of lone-parent families in the one area but each year this minimum is becoming more impossible to achieve. "What can you do? These people have to be housed." In Victoria, the situation is similiar. A survey by the Victorian Housing Commission established that 70 per cent of the total metropolitan applications lodged over the past six months were from single-parent families. Rental rebates last year cost the Victorian Housing Commission more than $13 million. A spokesman for the Victorian Housing Commission, Mr Paul Hughes, said that about 15,000 of the commission's 89,000 tenants received a rebate. "And the number is increasing, almost uncontrollably, every year," he said. "A vast majority of those tenants

are single-parent families or reduced family units, as we call them."

The Western Australia Minister for Housing, Mr Laurance, believes rental rebates for singleparent families cost his State at least $5 million last year. Seventy-three per cent of all new tenants housed by the commission last year were eligible for rental rebates and we are expecting this year's increase to surpass that," he said. In Queensland, more than 60 per cent of the Housing Commission's tenants receive a rental rebate. A spokesman for the commission said that 53 per cent of Brisbane metropolitan applicants came from single-parent families. A recent survey carried out by the Queensland Housing Commission revealed that 2700 out of 3000 tenants were receiving socialservice benefits of one kind or another.

WeartlettPlea' ongcreeping cancer' of divorce The Australian divorce rate of one marriage in five has been described as a "creeping cancer". The remark was made recently by Justice Kemeri Murray, a Southern Australian Family Law Court Judge, in an address to the Royal Australian College of General practitioners in Adelaide. Justice Murray stressed that there was a great need for

concern at the personality problems to which she believed children were prone in the single-parent family. These children lack the socialising skills "which a stable twoparent family normally imparts to its children." This means, she said, that the personalities of children in single-parent families could emerge seriously deprived. There was little research being

done into the effects of marital breakdown on Australian children, she added. In the United States, however, where the rate of marital breakdown is one-in-two, considerably more research has been done. In the US researchers had found that children were not generally relieved by the resolution of marital conflict in divorce.

Disruption and abandonment were greatly feared, especially by children of pre-school and kindergarten age; five-to-eight year olds were particularly distressed by the painful struggles of loyalty towards both parents; while eight-to-twelve year olds often longed for a father and were angered by separation. Children of this later group were often found to have been left with a sense of guilt that they

might have caused the separation. The American study, said Justice Murray, showed that the rate of mental illness among divorced men was five times that o f married men; among divorced women it was three times that of married women. Although the Australian divorce rate, happily, had not reached American proportions, Justice Murray urged that the growing seriousness of the situa-

tion called for urgent action to prepare prospective parents effectively for the responsibilities of family life and to look urgently to the needs of children caught up in marital disintegration. Justice Murray described her call for action as an "heartfelt plea" - "It is, afterall, the family that will provide stability for the society and the community of the future."

200 AT BIRTHDAY

Last Saturday night at the Leederville Parish Church some two hundred people sang "Happy Birthday" to themselves at the conclusion of the evening parish Mass to mark the first anniversary of the Catholic Parish Youth Movement.

In the first ten minutes long periods of silence were broken with a few monosyllabic exchanges. Don told me that he was a shearer from the North and was in town to sort out his taxation problems.

DANGER ISLE

When ace pilot Bailey and his son Nick are asked to find a villain's hideout among the thousands of islands off the coast of Malayasia, they fly straight into a hair-raising adventure. Nick frantically pulled the dripping dinghy aboard the seaplane and they took off. Moments earlier he had been standing on the little island watching what looked like smoke from a camp fire rise above the jungle.The island was a volcano about to erupt. As the seaplane gathered speed across the bay, there came a huge and deafening explosion. Bailey's Bird, by Geoffrey Morgan. Fontana Paperbacks. Recommended retail price, $1.50.

The next St. Jerome's Primary S chool in Troode Street, Spearwood, will be blessed this Sunday by Archbishop Goody and officially opened by the Federal Minister for Education, Mr. Wal Fife. It was therefore appropriate that we should take this picture of its 213 pupils whose classes range from Years 1 to 7. The original St. Jerome's was started 45 years ago by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition who ran it until the end of 1974. For 25 years it was located alongside the church and the move to the new school was carried out in two phases last year and this year.

It is now time for the whole community to take stock of what is happening in terms of the effects on children, the disruption of the lives of the parents, and the stability of society. The social and economic costs of divorce must now make us ask whether divorce is the best answer to unhappy marriages. We must question whether divorce, presented to us as the most humane, logical and least painful solution to severe marital disharmony, and now enshrined in legislation, is, in the light of experience, the best we can offer. :=91111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Although the introduction of the Family Law Act caused a sudden leap in the number of divorces, even without the new legislation divorces would have continued to rise. Since 1971 the number of first marriages has declined. Soon the number of divorces will outstrip the number of marriages. Most divorced people re-marry. However, the breakdown rate of second marriages is very similar to the breakdown rate of first marriages. In some categories it is even higher. Because of: • the emotional upheaval of the separation. • the anger of the partners who tend to blame each other for the separation. • The confusion and bewilderment of the children. • the searing experiences of going through the processes of the law. • the bitterness often felt at the final decisions of the court. • the pain of separation from in-laws and friends. more and more people are wondering if it was all worth it — whether, in the long run it would not have been better to have battled on, with help, to hold the first marriage together. There may be some who treat marriage so lightly that they are prepared to walk out of it at the slightest whim. It is our experience, however, that for most people divorce is a personal and family tragedy to be avoided if at all possible. If all we offer is easy divorce, we are offering them a stone when they ask for bread, or worse, a scorpion when they ask for an egg.(Lk 11, 12). So many couples today fear that divorce will be the almost inevitable end of their marriage as they see what is happening to their friends around
