Seated in the Sistine Chapel against the background of Michelangelo's Last Judgement the Pope called the family the focus of the Church's preaching and teaching. "The family is the fundamental object of the Church's evangelization and catechesis (religious education), but it is also the necessary subject for which nothing else can be substituted: the creative subject," the Pontiff said. He said that the family must "be conscious of the mission of the Church and of its participation in this mission." "The present synod's job is to show all the families their particular role in the mission of the Church," he added. But the Pope in his homily placed the synod's approach first and foremost in

Thisletter Ihad to write This morning I buried another baby, the sixth child this month. The life of Santal tribals is very hard. There is much sickness and hunger. Death is common here.

Father Hans Hendriks, S.J.

Sister say,s those deaths were "medically avoidable". That is why I'm writing this letter. She does not mean they needed sophisticated brain or heart operations, nor even ordinary hospital care. People die for lack of a few chloroquine tablets for malaria, a little sulphaguanadine for dysentry or cholera (which kills in six hours), a T.B. injection . . . there's a long list. At present we're in contact with some 50 Santal villages, and there would be three times more that we have not reached. In this whole area I only know of three government dispensaries. With all their dedication they can only treat a tiny part of all the Santals. And they too ask our help, since language and other fears make their communication with the Santals difficult. So what do we hope to do? We need to set up several small village centres, just a small hut for each. Then, since our nursing Sister is alone, we'll have to employ some trained nurses, or "aids", to visit them weekly; and with them will be needed lots of tablets, ointments, injections. Then too we'll be able to begin training Steve Glamuzina and John Ricciardi, both former pupils at St. Jerome's and with children at the new school villagers themselves as health-leaders. And so, eventually, they'll pictured near the verandah extension to St. Jerome's church that was once their classroom. share hygiene and health education with all the women-folk - - But it really all depends on your support. Sister's "avoidable deaths" is perhaps really saying: "A little Australian help can save many Santals' lives here."

A NEW HEAD AT LA SALLE

%Aze:v4, Planned tourist "tour routes" are very popular; could someone design one for each week for a family Sunday drive, mentioning places of Catholic interest to be seen or visited, especially churches? Mass times of the churches on the route could also be given. A day tour to New Norcia or,

By Miss Vonny He/berg, Spencer Street, Bridgetown. further afield, a tour to visit Geraldton Cathedral and the churches built by Monsignor Hawes would interest tourists. In the South-West there are many churches and places linked with the State's Catholic history and also many other sights to see. Here in Bridgetown the tapes-

try murals in the church ought to be seen, especially the Christmas one, which is a gem. Probably there is also much to be discovered and preserved. Does WA have a Catholic historical museum? It might be a good idea. (There is indeed a Catholic historical museum, although it is

still in its early days. It is no less than the original Catholic Church in Perth, later its cathedral, still standing on Victoria Avenue where it was tastefully restored last year for the Sesquicentenary Year and which so few historically minded persons have apparently bothered to discover so far — Editor.)

By J. V. White, Canning Highway, Melville It is amazing how often v arious authorities decide to tear up roads at times that cause most inconvenience to motorists. This practice is particularly annoying in the city area. There, surely, the work could be organised for a Sunday morning when the streets are almost deserted instead of on busy week days. Telecom, the SEC, the Main Roads Department and the Public Works Department seem to delight in causing as much frustration to motorists as possible. They appear to take it in turns to rip up roads and throttle traffic instead of all doing the various tasks they have to perform at the one time.

Pregnancy. "Results of earlier studies of natural family plans effectiveness have been misleading because they have classified all pregnancies as failures of the method," he said. "This study also meausres the successful use of the method to achieve a pregnancy." The study found that 26.9 percent of the couples using the ovulation method to achieve pregnancy succeeded. "The ovulation method of natural family planning is gaining in popularity, for one reason because of the adverse medical side effects of artificial methods," Dr Hilgers said. "About 5 percent of the population in the united states use natural family planning, which is a significant increase from a couple of years ago."

Ivan Vodanovich is a Master of Laws and a highlyqualified and experienced social worker, assets that fit him well for his position as the State's Chief Probation and Parole Officer. He took up the position in 1974 after a distinguished career in New Zealand and he has been instrumental in implementing new concepts here in the rehabilitation in society of people who have been c onvicted of breaking the law. His wide experience of people and life has come largely through careers in real estate, social work, the law, four war years in the Pacific in his country's armed services and studies at six colleges and universities.

SUCCESS RATE IS 70 P.C. When a prisoner on parole commits a crime, there is a good deal of news media publicity and some public disquiet. Yet nothing is heard of the 70 per cent of parolees — a very high success rate in this field — who "go straight." W A's community service system which requires offenders to d o* work of benefit to the community as their s • entence, or part of it, enjoys a higher s uccess rate of moretthan 90 per cent and is now being used as a model by other States. And 80 per cent of WA offenders on probation, as distinct froth parole, do not lapse into crime again. But the tall, slim man who has had a lot to do with the achievement of this satisfactory state of affairs is by no means complacent and is constantly seeking ways of bringing about an even great improvement. He is Ivan Vodanovich, Chief Probation and Parole Officer of the Crown Law Department. A New Zealander born in Auckland, he was educated at the Sacred Heart College of the Marist Brothers there. A fter four years' service with the Nw Zealand Army and Air Force in the Pacific during World War II he was discharged and went back to his job in real estate for a short period before w orking as a child welfare officer for six years. He was one of the first six people in the country to be selected to do a social work course in Wellington and he decided then that he would like to w ork with adult offenders. In this field he introduced many new c oncepts while employed by the Justice Department all over New Zealand. At the same time he was studying law, gained his Ll.B, was admitted to t he Bar and later went on to secure a Master of Laws (Ll. M) degree. In 1973 under a United Nations fellowship he toured America, Europe

*By BOB BOYLE

Today's People A weekly feature and Great Britain studying the human rights of convicted offenders and their families. Married to a West Australian, the former Iris Hastie, he accepted his present position here in 1974. One of his earlyduties was as a panel member at the world conference in Perth on child abuse, an area in which he had made special studies. Ivan says that the Probation and Parole Service now has about 3,000 adult offenders on its books. The three big areas of concern are unemployment, alcohol abuse, and on a population basis the disproportionately-large number of Aborigines entering the criminal justice system. There is no ready-made solution to these problems and improvement can be brought about only with the goodwill and support of the community. "We give offenders a change of direction," he says, "motivate them and try to place them back into society where they can be assisted. "This can range from gifts of food and clothing to provision of employment opportunities and people taking an interest in them to show that they still have a place in the community. "After all, everybody wants to be wanted. "There, is no doubt that some criminals have to be put away for the

protection of the community, but most of the State's 1,500 prisoners are in gaol for property offences such as car stealing and break and entering and not for vicious crimes. "The 30 per cent of parolees who fail are either not ready for parole in their own eyes or don't want to be ready for it. "We have to take some calculated risks and in 70 per cent of cases we are justified. When we fail there is a severe community reaction." Ivan says that he heads what might be called a silent service. It does not seek publicity and accepts with forebearances the brickbats that are hurled at it from time to time. The people with whom the service deals are not there from choice but are directed to it by the courts. They are usually hostile, depressed or bewildered. The service's social workers who assist them have to be mature and sympathetic people with a wide range of life and work experience — and it

TELETHON !ME AGAI

Preparations are reaching a crescendo for Seven Telethon on October 18.

When Ross was first electo Federal Parliament, we ha) make a decision about our stion. We were in our early ths with three young children. Suddenly and a little unexpeci Ross had the awesome responity of representing in Canbem interests of more than 100,000ple. He was determined to throv, self into this new job with a.1 commitment. So we decided tt would be vital for me to tv myself with equal vigour into,ing the children. We figured that the chili) would cope much better witle deprivation of the presence o e parent if they could have totaltdifence about the presence ole other.

Mrs Karen McLean, BA, is the wife of Ross McLean, MHR for Perth, the seat once held by her f ather, Perth Lord Mayor Fred C haney. She is a sister of Seantor Fred Chaney, Federal Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. Mrs McLean was educated at Sacred Heart School, High gate, and t aught at the Applecross High S chool and the Canterbury Boys' High School in Sydney. She has also been a relieving t eacher at the Mt Lawley and C omo High Schools. The McLeans' three daughters and son range in age from two to 11.

Thus for the past five years Ihave been in some ways a sole parent,. having all the responsibilities that parenthood involves. For example, Ihave made all the decisions on schools and kindergartens, been the disciplinarian, the toy-fixer, bikemender, gardener, plumber (although Mich Murphy, a good friend and our local plumber, will vouch for my feeble efforts in that area). I pay all the household accounts, make most of the decisions on any new purchases and of course Id o all

the cooking, laundry and housecleaning. Added to that there is my involvement with the children's school (St Paul's Primary, Mt Lawley) in the areas of debating, library and reading programmes.

There is nothing very noteworthy in this list,Iknow, and Ionly mention it to illustrate thatIdo manage to fill my days. It is mildly surprising, even a little annoying, when people ask me what Ido for a living. In cold hard cash I earn exactly $0.00 per annum. They expect me to answer, "nothing" or "I am just a housewife." It is not true. Nowadays I declare quite seriously and a little belligerently that I run a small family business. The short-term profits may seem to be small. The working hours are long, with no overtime allowances, no sick leave, no annual leave, no holiday pay at all let alone a 171 2 / per cent loading. On the other hand, I had flexihours before the word was even thought of. And the long-term prospects are exciting for Australia. The product being developed is for

the domestic market. It is far too good to export - four young Australians who hopefully will take their place in our society as caring, hard-working Christians, like their father, doing their part to make Australia an even better place. Another question lam often asked is if I had any regrets about giving up teaching. Isay without hesitation that! have none at all. I am still using the skills in my "small family business" and I find the challenge of the God-given responsibility of moulding the lives of four children far more exciting and worthwhile than a few hours' contact a week with 200 children with the responsibility of merely filling their heads with German declensions, French verbs or English grammar. I am a normal sort of ordinary person, with one strange quirk that really makes me stand out from the crowd. I have a strong admiration fora ver high opinion of politicians. In general, they are very dedicated men and women and three in particular are outstanding - my husband, my father and my brother.

So often in Australia we focus on need in regions closer to us. forgetting the great need elsewhere. The effects of drought, famine and war have caused suffering to over 8 million people in north east Africa. Australian Catholic Relief is supporting aid programmes that are meeting the immediate needs of the people in the countries concerned. R elief aid is vital. So too are longer term programmes that help people to rebuild their lives and to live with dignity. Catholic agencies in Kenya, Ethiopia. Uganda and Zimbabwe have established training program-

mes to teach skills such as carpentry, metalwork, masonry, farming techniques, literacy, community health care and nutrition. These are skills that will enable communities to overcome the causes of poverty and underdevelopment.

trommimm. A taste of life in P.N.G. mission •

Susan Nelson (22) of St. Benedict's parish, Applecross, has just spent four w eeks at the Mission Health Centre, A itape, in Papua New Guinea, at the invitation of a family f riend, Franciscan B rother Xavier Nicholson.

Susan's most amusing experiences were of the sisters of Ningil mission centre in the mountains, desperately trying at 2 o'clock in the morning to chase away cows invading their vegetable patch, with only the aid of hurricane lamps, and without success. For an automatic carwash service the mission vehicles were simply driven into a nearby river. z4

Human pyramid Kevin Yuen, a member of the Kalgoorlie YCW, reports to the Youth Forum Editor this week on the group's recent camp. "The final activity of our camp was the building of a human pyramid consisting of twenty young people which took place amid groans of agony from crushing bones and flesh, he said. "The earth games on Saturday evening proved a highlight. Dalys Coyle one of the members described the weekend as very enjoyable and an exhausting experience. We travelled to and from Esperance in the St. John's Ambulance bus, even though the trip took four hours longer than usual. Sr. Maree Moriarty attended the camp. Fr. Pat Ahern recently visited the group and shared his interests in the Mission fields in India.

Thoughts on a US fighting ship While having lunch in Forrest Place with Kevin Yuen last Monday, I discussed the plans for International Week. We both noticed the great numbers of U.S. sailors walking the streets. Kevin suggested that I contact the chaplains of two U.S. Navy ships in port. I arranged to meet chaplains on Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock. I talked with Chaplain Snell, of the U.S.S New Orleans, and Chaplain Martin, of the U.S.S. Vancouver. They told me that they sometimes felt they were in the "no-mans-land" between the officers and

The Word of himself will be Life for October is "Everyone who exults Will be exalted"humbled, but the man who humbles himself (Luke 18:14).

the enlisted men (ratings.) Most of their work was with enlisted men with whom they felt a degree of closeness and friendship. I was delighted that Chaplain Snell knew of our founder, Joseph Cardijn. One of the chaplain's joys was being able to bring news and phamplets to the local missionary churches of one of the countries they visited. On occasions they were even able to speak through an interpreter to missionary congregations. While at sea they felt isolated and cut off from their families and friends,

but on board ship their role was one of adviser, counsellor, consoler and friend. For most of the young enlisted men, it was their first time away from home and many tended to run wild for a while, not knowing what they were looking for in life, said Chaplain Martin. He saw part of his role as developing a sense of purpose in the life of the young sailors. Only about five-percent of the crew turn up for Sunday services, so most of the work is done on a one-to one basis. I left the ship pleased that I had made contact with these international travellers and hoping that YCW groups will form within the services as most of them are young people, (young workers) and have a ready made opportunity to make c ontact with YCW groups throughout the world.

This week's name the page winner is Fiona Fitzpatrick of Waroona. Fiona has won a copy of the book Only A Pony which is reviewed on the page. Her copy will be posted out to her. Meanwhile back at the clubhouse, Captain Bob has been up to some mischief. We don't know what he's done but Nurse Kerry is furious. She's even refused to feed his pirhana table scraps and instead has given them to her chooks. He says that at least she will get some eggs from the chickens. And I think she is going to throw the eggs at Captain Bob. Perhaps we'll find out later in the page what Captain Bob has done but at the moment it's over to you.

Letters

Dear Captain Bob 40,4.0,00 . 0000,7), Here is a story about oddems. Oddems are sayings that can mean more then one thing. The story is about two little girls. See if you can find the oddems mixed up in the story. Once upon a time there were t wo little girls. They were very sad. They just didn't seem to be able to do anything right. People said that they were born with silver spoons in their mouths. But they always seemed to get peoples backs up. And other people said they tried to split hairs all the time. By this time they had really lost their bearings. So they started to hang their heads. They went past some people who were trying to bury the hatchet. But the two girls had a bone to pick so they couldn't stop to chat. Other children tried to be friendly but they couldn't manage to break the ice. Just when they started to feel themselves again, somebody started to pick holes in them. With that the girls got angry and blew up a storm which rained cats and dogs. So they decided to face the music and go home. Ruth Hansard Guildford

A HORSE TALE "Who'se there?" cried Christina. Moonlight shone through the stable window. Lucifer gave a low growl and, trembling, I raised the poker. Then our hearts missed a beat. Staring at us with an expression of interest was a small roan pony. Also hidden in the stable is Nico, a young boy who has run away from home to save his pony from a cruel horse dealer. Augusta and Christina agree to help him, but soon find themselves on the wrong side of the law, and heading for danger .. . Thus the scene is set for the story Only A Pony and adventure story that all young people will enjoy.

There have been changes in the whole idea of revelation. The understanding of revelation now is that it is an ongoing thing, that God is revealing himself to us in many ways. This might call for a different method in teaching which flounders some of the poor parents who hada catechismal approach, in question and answer. With the experience-based way of approaching religion now it is a completely different method for the old people, and this is why,Ithink, they are thrown somewhat.

HUHN RESPOND TO EXAMPLE

Children get some intuitive knowledge of God as a loving Father from the love they see expressed in their own particular household.

Children begin to moralise even at the age of three or four and in their games they have unbendable rules, knowing that if they step out of line something terribly wrong has happened. The child is more impressed by observable consequences than by an inner conscience reflection. If you hammer home a little too much the notion of sin, of a punitive God, at a time when a child sees rules and that if he steps out of line he gets punished, then the child's intuitive feeling for a God who is

The Record, October 2-8, 1980

loving and kind is overcome by a punitive God. This is the wrong approach and if it goes on they will have a notion of a policeman God as they grow up. Parents can preach about love and they will simply bring up children who are good preachers. Parents who talk about generosity will simply have children who talk about generosity but when they see their parents being generous they will grow up to be generous. We can train children to be hypocrites as well as altruists.

A child models himself on the behaviour of a significant person. He may see a father who beats him, is angry, or explodes. The child can easily model himself on such a father but not necessarily at home. If he retaliates, he could be beaten up by his father, so he goes out and becomes a bully on the streets instead. Apart from what they say, what parents do is infinitely more important; and what they do and explain in terms suited to the child's level of development is best of all.

These people said after the course that things would never be the same again in their families. They had already done the Renewal of Faith programme and it showed they were starving for mote, craving for a deepening of their faith that was not being catered for in the homily at Sunday Mass. Unless a child is strengthened at home, what happens at school will not count all that much in a child's faith. One of the greatest send-ups in recent years has been the declaration of a so called generaltion "gap". It is more of a crack than a crevice because all those children who are protesting or who are anti-social come from families whose parents had much the same sort of outlook.
