Reunion for sisters at profession ceremony The final religious profession of Christian Brother James van der Zalm in Aquinas College chapel last Saturday was a celebration for his family as well.
It was an occasion for the reunion of Mrs. van der Zalm with her sister whom she had not seen for 28 years since leaving Holland for Australia. Her brother-in-law and a niece also made the journey for the profession ceremony.
ABOVE LEFT: During the Mass in which he was finally professed Brother James van der Zalm (left) is preceded in the presentation of gifts to Bishop Quinn by his parents Leo and Gertrude van der Zalm, of Nollamara.

Mr. van der Zalm also came from Holland to Australia where he married and raised three children. At the profession, their other son Peter delivered the first reading and their daughter Joanne the responsorial psalm. Brother James van der Zalm was educated by the Sisters of Mercy at Nollamara and then at Trinity College. After three years training in the Eastern States he was appointed first to Collie and is now about to enter his fifth year on the staff of the Aquinas Junior School.
Redemptorist priests at North Perth recently parents and grandparents were seen to play their part. Shortly after Archbishop Goody had imposed hands on him in the rite of ordination, Father Brian Jones is pictured left receiving from his parents Kevin and Beres Jones the gifts of bread and wine that were to be used in the ordination Mass. First to receive a sign of peace from Father Peter Black was his maternal grandmother Mrs Clara Flynn, of North Perth, (pictured below) mother of the late Iris Black whose husband Ernest is also deceased. On the day following the ordination it was a North Perth celebration for Father Black who celebrated Mass in the Redemptorist church which was the church of his youth when he grew up in Alfonso Street. A big number of friends helped him celebrate afterwards in the Retreat House. Later in the day a large number of parishioners at Morley attended Saturday evening Mass celebrated by their one time parishioner Father Brian Jones. A parish social followed later in the priory grounds. Both Redemptorists are to spend the coming year in WA. In the first period they will concentrate on church duties including preaching and other duties. Later they will go out on mission work in the suburbs and country.

Record The invasion of For the late Father Vincent O'Sullivan death became a personal expechildrens' minds rience but also a pastoral lesson for Modern communications are beginning to overload the human system; there are probably too many daily reports of murdered bodies for much notice to be taken of a report on page 6 of this issue concerning a youth shooting himself in New Jersey. It could be just one more anonymous personal tragedy, but it ought to strike a note among many Catholics here. The lad was typical of any that we might find in a West Australian suburb. He had everything going for him, we would say, — educated at the parish school, a server in his local church. Y et he lies dead from a bullet from his father's gun, ostensibly because he watched The Deer Hunter that has already passed through cinemas in Perth. One possible reaction is to wring our hands helplessly at the increase of violence and crime and the contribution being made to it by television, radio or print. We do not know if life was ever less violent really . Castles and even private homes did not formerly have heavy doors and window bars for nothing. Wars were calculated, unleashed with cynical hatred and played according to victors' rules when marauding armies swept through peaceful valleys. A reviewer in New York has rightly debunked the media-generated adulation heaped on The Deer Hunter. Two youths killed themselves after seeing a particular sequence of the film, but millions of other viewers did not.
Why did they die? The youths therefore did not kill themselves simply because they had seen an objectionable film. They died because they no longer could resist what they saw, because they lacked the ability to judge the value of their own life and the care with which they should guard it. We need not be too harsh on the already grieving parents or make judgement about their supervision, possession of guns or the like. There is not a parent alive who does not claim defensively to be bringing up their children "like everyone else". Nor should we be too smug about the raw R -movies available on some American television screens. R ight in his own home in Perth a youth is left in no doubt by television or newspapers where sex and violence are abundantly available for viewing. E vidence is mounting about the negative effect that television is having on the young mind and it is not only over the lurid or bloody images that are passing before the young viewer's eyes. A real cancer is poisoning the system because the intake of images, even from print, has become a passive process. Like the cancer of the body it grows and spreads when there is no anti-body. Like a cancer, it eats into the human spirit at a deep level, and the moral remedy is difficult to discover and to apply. Some sincere people believe they have done their duty if they sound off indignantly about what is being viewed or read. Yet in the majority of homes the television set flickers on incessantly as a subconscious background; radios hammer out unchallenged statements and ideas; hair raising material litters the family room floor in publications that are accepted as normal reading. The child is becoming assaulted by layer upon layer of images that preach the gospel of fast food, consumer spending and escape to a world of fantasy in which serious questions should never be asked. Like victims of some space age nerve-gas human beings lose the ability to think for themselves. If a live person confronts us with an idea or philosophy that we do not like, we are quick to speak our mind, but faced with the media voice this faculty turns off.
Remedy of love Parents this week are sweeping up the tinsel and wrappings from the gifts with which they expressed their love for their children; now they must chart a course for the year to come. T here is no danger that there will be a flood of Deer Hunter deaths among children. The greater danger is that there will be more subtle deaths in the spirit of the young unless families become havens of constructive thinking with and on behalf of their children. The Church made its choice and does not celebrate the calendar New Year. The real New Year began with A dvent, the first hint that God cared enough about His people to come and live with them. We have to show the children of today that God still cares about what is going wrong in their lives and that we will provide the remedy.

Bedtralia in the wake of his father who spent ten years in ford was one of the first parishes Queensland before returning home to marry; but to put forward candidates. neither his father nor mother lived to see their two priest-sons leave from Tralee for Australia. He was one of the first seminarians to be recruited for Western Australia when Archbishop Prendiville made his 1935 visit to Ireland, assuming charge of the diocese at the time, and initiating a large flow of Irish priests from that time on. As a result Father O'Sullivan completed his remaining three years of theology at Brignole Sale College Genoa where the late Father Alan Johnson was already studying and Father John Nolan of Kalamunda became a fellow student. Early appointments to Kalgoorlie and Subiaco were followed by his appointment in 1943 to Lesmurdie which meant two new variations in his life — prisons and rose growing. He had to minister not only to the inmates of Bartons Mill, evacuated from the city, but he also had to say Mass at Fremantle gaol. A living could be sparse in Lesmurdie in those days until Mr. Carpene, of Kalamunda rose fame, convinced Father O'Sullivan that a rose bush was worth seven pounds a year so the priest learned all he could about rose growing from his friend who would call past to take the blooms to market. In Bedford, his staunch friend Joe Dominish was almost immediately swept into the rose business, principally by delivering loam for new beds and then by being called upon by Father O'Sullivan to go out on rose pruning exercises for a wide range of people such as the newly-arrived Infant Jesus sisters at Lockridge. Soon after his arrival in Bedford a five-room school building was commenced and to save scarce money in those days Father O'Sullivan found that sawdust from a friendly Italian sawmiller would be the cheapest way to get a needed road on to the site. Joe Dominish and his truck were pressed into service and the two pushed tons of sawdust into a track that cost only one third of a proper road.
Sand patch When he first arrived in Bedford a sand patch was all that existed of the future presbytery garage, and after Joe Dominish had to haul out the priest's bogged car, the Dominish home became the adopted home of Father O'Sullivan and a calling point for a long line of his priest friends. As a Colreavy, Mrs. Dominish had seen the first Mass said in the area in 1938 and Joe Dominish made the parish his home in 1941 through the period when it was linked to Bayswater and later a separate parish under Dr. Goody. Father O'Sullivan was instrumental in moves to get land for the later establishment of the Morley and Dianella parishes. With the building of new classrooms the former partitioned hall became a permanent church until the need for a new church was felt in 1962. Father O'Sullivan was determined that his new church would be not only modern in design, but also that there would be no incentive for people to hide away at the back of the building. None of the congregation had to be more than 10 seats from the altar in the new St. Peter's church. Funds for this and the school programme came from a fund-raising campaign which Father O'Sullivan was among the first to introduce in 1957. He reflected recently that these events brought strength to the parish because they gave the people goals to achieve. In later years he grew to like most his visits to the sick in the parish and the elderly residents at the Home of Peace. If he could soften hearts singing with a rather delicate Irish tenor voice Father O'Sullivan really broke communication barriers with his ever ready renditions of Paddy McGinty's Goat or Franky and Johnny. Told last February that he possibly had only weeks to live, Father O'Sullivan told his friends that he would see out Christmas. He missed keeping his word by barely two weeks. May he rest in peace.

DATELINE . . . overseas news roundup
CALLS TO PARENTS AFTER TWO DEATHS In these two articles the Trenton police captain, Thomas Williams, and Catholic film critic, Michael Gallagher, speak out in protest.
CRITICS SLATE SCREENING OF D EER HUNTER T RENTON (NJ) — One of two teenagers who died playing Russian roulette after seeing the film, The Deer Hunter, was an altar server and student at a Holy Cross parish school here. The boy's death has evoked calls by Catholics for parents to watch their children's TV viewing and for networks to exercise more control in what they show. Gottfrey Saganowski, 13, and his brother John, 12, talked about The Deer Hunter they saw on television on election day at 8 pm. They found a revolver in their parents' bedroom closet and the older boy placed a bullet in one chamber and held the gun to his head. According to police reports he spun the barrel and pulled the trigger several times before the fatal shot pierced his brain. Four days before, a 19-year-old youth died from wounds in a similar imitation of the film. The film The Deer Hunter was rejected by the major networks because it would have required too much cutting to make it suitable for viewing. The independent station showed the film virtually uncut, thus allowing the boys to see an R film for which they would have had to be accompanied by a parent in a theatre screening. The Deer Hunter was an Academy Award winning film two years ago. The U.S. Catholic Conference Office of Film and Broadcasting in January 1979 gave The Deer Hunter a B rating (morally objectionable in part for all) and said "the sensationalism of its several graphic depictions of
the bloody consequences of Russian roulette are offensive". Police Captain Thomas Williams said: "There has always been the question of whether violence on television influences kids. This proves that it definitely does. It is a sin that something like this has to happen for us to realise that." The Saganowski's parish priest, Father Wojciehowski called on parishioners to bombard WOR-TV with protests over the showing of the film. He also admonished parents to check carefully what their children watch on television. Parents, he said, are often too busy with their other duties to supervise the quality of the television programmes their children watch, and other indulgent parents allow children to have their own television sets in their rooms, where supervision is almost impossible. "We tell ourselves that our children at 12 or 1 3 are more advanced and they are used to the violence they see on TV," Father Wojciehowski said. On their own sets children can watch late night shows, mostly R rated, he added. He said that at two-and-a-half years of age a child watches more than five hours of television a day and a 12-year-old sees more than 1,200 hours a year. What they see, he said, is violence, sex, lifestyles which are presented as the new American subculture and "realism" with no discretion. He noted that children watch afternoon soap operas which depict abortion, homosexual activity, adultery and other immoral behaviour as accepted and acceptable and the weekend diet of cartoons treating violence in many forms as a joke.

Ratings irony
MOVIE QUERIED According to Catholic film critic Michael Gallagher, the showing of the film The Deer Hunger, resulting in the deaths of two youths, was "a splendid victory in the ratings". He continued. "First let me say a few words about the alleged high quality of The Deer Hunter, which had the prestige of five Academy Awards going for it. " This is a pertinent point since I don't think that WOR-TV and the other independents would have otherwise run the risk of showing an R-rated film in prime time. "The ad in TV Guide for The Deer Hunter solemnly warned the reader that the film 'includes certain scenes and language that, although essential to the story, may not be suitable for children'. "You can be sure that 'certain scenes' are indeed essential to the story and were also essential to the critical and popular success of the movie. For without the bloody, gory melodrama of the Russian roulette sequences, which all too many critics swallowed whole as a marvellous metaphor of the Vietnam War, Michael Cimino's creation would have been recognised as the bloated, pretentious, banal movie that it really is, one not much better than his recent fiasco, Heaven's Gate, which the same critics who were ecstatic over The Deer Hunter roasted to a turn. The Department of Communication of the U.S. Catholic Conference gave The Deer Hunter a B classification for its violence. In a wholly negative review it had this to say about the torture by Russian roulette sequences: "Even if this sort of thing did, in fact, occur, and Cimino has in the two years since brought forth no evidence that it did, it is so atypical of what American soldiers suffered in Vietnam that to focus upon it to the exclusion of all that they did in fact suffer is a .miscalculation of
massive proportions in a film whose supposed intent is to get at the heart of the matter in Vietnam and not to conjure up a machismo fantasy". "The Deer Hunter is just that: A machismo fantasy. The Russian roulette sequences advance no theme. They are rather the whole point of the movie. It is no wonder then that, magnified by all the powerful techniques of modern filmmaking, they had so lethal an effect upon the impressionable mind of a 13year-old New Jersey boy. "And now that the independent stations have got away with this coup, how long will it be before the major networks succumb to competitive pressure? Just think of all the further thrills in store for young children throughout the country. "What's to be done? I can write articles like this till I blow a fuse with my electric typewriter, but they'll do no good unless there is some kind of action taken." And as it turns out, somebody is taking action. According to John Leahy's story, -Freddy Saganowski's classmates at Holy Cross have formed an organization called SAVE, whose immediate goal is to make parents more aware of what their children are watching on television and to encourage them to watch it with their children and later disc uss what they see. A more ambitious, and admittedly more difficult, goal of SAVE is to influence programming, using such techniques as cooperation with other schools, letter writing campaigns and contacting political leaders. "Despite everything, I believe that people are good down deep," once wrote another 13year-old whose life was tragically cut off. If we believe in God, we must also believe that nothing that happens, no matter how shocking, is random or senseless. Thin in the God's providence, it might well be that death of Freddy Saganowski will be the means hat for good that A of oree of,itthnaetss ‘‘, ksobm to. Frank
Unity step taken NEWARK (NJ) — The Catholic and Episcopal (Anglican) bishops are to explore the possibility of resuming talks broken off after the Catholic decision to accept Episcopal churchmen for the Catholic priesthood. Three dioceses had been working towards a covenant relationship, which already exists among several of their local parishes, until an Episcopalian bishop broke off the dialogue. Bishop Jong said that he was taking his action "to protect the integrity of women priests and those who support women priests in the Episcopal Church." Bishop Jong's latest communication did not back down from his earlier point that the Catholic Church should not be providing a haven for dissident clergymen "whose sole distinguishing mark was their opposition to the ordination of women". But he said that if there could be a guarantee of continued freedom to disagree on issues such as women priests, birth control and the place of remarried Catholics in the church, then he would "with great joy" re-establish discussions on forming a covenant relationship.

ART As a youngster at the Sacred Heart Primary at Highgate and later at CBC Terrace, chool S Thompson had no idea of becoming an eorge G When he left the Terrace it was right in rchitect. a of the Depression and George was middle the for eight months until he got a job nemployed u for firewood. timber utting c
Sheer chance led him into architecture, a profession in which he w as to become one of the State's top practitioners. In his timber-cutting days a friend introduced him to a leading architect, the late Edgar le B. Henderson, who said that he would employ him for a three-month probationary period and if he liked the w ork something of a more permanent nature might be arranged. He certainly liked the work and in 1 931 he became an articled student with Mr. Henderson in the days when students did four years of articles and then sat for an examination, the passing of which qualified them as architects. But a downturn in his family's f ortunes interrupted George's c ourse and through financial necessity he was compelled to take a job with the old Workers' Homes Board where he worked as a draftsman for about two years. He went back to Mr. Henderson but on the outbreak of war in 1939 he joined the Public Works Department where one of the projects on which he was engaged, „ under Principal Architect A.E. (Paddy) Clare, was the new Royal :Perth Hospital. Late in 1940 he joined the Army as an infantryman, but when his technical expertise was discovered he was transferred to the Engineers, commissioned and served in the islands.
Flown back
On the day that the war ended, Paddy Clare had him flown back to Perth to resume with the PWD and during the nine months that this period with the department lasted he qualified as an architect. E. le B. Henderson again asked George to join him with the promise of a later partnership, so he went back to his old mentor once more — this time to stay. The modest George did not mention this during the interview, but it was found that in his days of learning the profession he had been a warded the E.G. Cohen Medal for being the outstanding architectural student in the State. A rchitecture just after the war was a grim business, he recalls. There were still national security controls on building which, among o ther things; laid down restrictions on the materials that could be used in construction and there was. a shortage of materials in any case. The situation did not improve until the 1950s, a decade in which the firm of Henderson and Thompson established a good reputation for works in addition to the schools and churches for which E. le B. had always been noted.
Big jobs
By the 1960s the firm was engaged on some big jobs and had a staff of 10. A round this time its work included the St. Thomas More C ollege at the University of WA and the major project at St. John of God Hospital at Subiaco which embraced the new nurses' home (pictured right), the maternity section and the complicated installation of the first medical cobalt resource in the State. There was work for the Commercial Bank of Australia at various branches and the extensive remodelling of its headquarters in St. George's Terrace. The Castrol Oil installation at O'Connor was a complex task, calling as it did for construction to cope with sophisticated oilblending techniques. You could go on at length about the work that has sprung from the Henderson and Thompson draw-
Mr. G.P. (George) T hompson is an architect with a distinguished career in both government service and private p ractice. Born in Donnybrook, he was educated at the S acred Heart Primary School at Highgate and the old CBC Terrace the successor to which, Trinity College, he was involved in designing. George and his wife Athalie (nee Savage) are members of the St. Pius X parish at Manning and they have two daughters and two sons, all grown up. Their school teacher daughter Judy is a wellknown on-air personality in television children's sessions. mg boards such as the convent and chapel at St. John of God Belmont, designing for the order of St. Joseph of the Apparition of the de Vialar College at Hilton and its convent and college at Albany, and the original construction and later e xtensions to St. Joseph's Hospital at Bicton. George says that the design of Trinity College near the Causeway was an interesting challenge from a number of aspects. For a start it was one of the few schools that could be built in its entirety from the word go instead of having bits and pieces added from time to time. It was constructed on land reclaimed from the river and all the buildings are on piles. Some of the Franki piles — steel tubes filled with concrete — had to be driven down about 20 metres before they found firm ground. The entire job demanded complicated techniques and at the same time the aesthetics had to be borne constantly in mind. The distinctive circular chapel involved for the first time in WA the use of a special glazing technique for its stained-glass windows. The college's sewerage system had to be supported underground by piles in a sort of subterranean aquaduct. At this point George emphasised once again that the Henderson and Thompson work on this and the other projects they undertake is always a team effort. With this Franki pile of advice by now firmly under-pinning the interviewer's consciousness, he went on to talk about the reconstruction of the Aherns store premises in Hay and Murray streets. The old Ahern's Arcade was dispensed with and there were structural implications for two adjoining buildings fronting onto both Hay and Murray streets., Floors had to be levelled, structural adjustments made to open the buildings up and unified facades presented onboth street frontages — and all this had to be done without interference to the store's dayto-day trading. Further complicated structural work is now involved with the Aherns basement and elsewhere because the store intends to add Iwo storeys at the Hay Street end and the basement will become part of the underground pedestrian arcade that will link St. George's Terrace with Murray Street. A rchitecture has seen many c hanges since his first association
•
with the profession, George comments. "In my early days construction of a city building was a rarity," he says. "In my time in articles myself and my fellow-students watched agog as Shell House took shape and we were even more impressed when the CM L Building went up. Both have now been demolished." In the post-war years lifting of the restrictions on the height of buildings has given Perth a far more interesting skyline than it had previously. Constant improvement in concrete technology and the increasing skills of architects in using the medium have given Perth some graceful buildings that enhance its character. It is George's belief that the professional ethics of architects have suffered something of a decline. Increased competition and the advent of what might be termed fringe professionals are making maintenance of a practice increasingly difficult. George did not give this information, but it is known that he is regarded as one of the State's most artistic and creative architects. The Aquinas College chapel with which he was involved, for instance, has a unique atmosphere that appeals to all, including other architects — a rare professional tribute. Another professional tribute came on his resignation from the P WD when his colleagues there presented him with the framed and mounted perspectives and rendered elevation he had done of the Royal Perth Hospital instead of the usual parting gift of a watch or a fishing rod. Getting George to talk about his personal achievements is impossible, and it seems that the selfeffacing little man will go on hiding his light under a bushel. a 441'

V ATICAN CITY — Christ's words on (NC) adultery do not call fora return to man's original innocence but rather a search for "an authentic way for the new man," Pope John Paul II said at his weekly general audience at which he returned to his ongoing discussion of "adultery in the heart." Speaking to more than 4,000 people, Pope John Paul said the new ethos Christ called for "is indeed the fruit of the mystery of redemption as accomplished by Christ." He said that any effort towards "purity of heart" must be linked to an a wareness of sin. "This new ethos brings man to his personal realisation, in which he has full freedom to make the gift of himself," the Pope said.
By hand
V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II's second encyclical on Mercy and Justice is a "very personal" document, originally produced by hand in the Pope's native Polish. Vatican radio spokesman Father Tucci said the style of the 18,000 word document "can be fully appreciated only by those who know the mother tongue well." L'Osservatore Romano published several pictures of the original handwritten document, showing various corrections made by the pope. " After the first draft of t he encyclical the Holy Father introduced to the text, for the second draft, various corrections and additions," said one photo caption.

YOUTH FORUM Looking ahead .... New Year is a time of looking back at promises unfulfilled and making new ones with the hope of accomplishing them in the year to come.
The Catholic Youth Council celebrated a successful year of operation with a Christmas barbecue at which the ancient art of "sausage burning" was explored (left to right) F rances Sutherland (Youth Encounter), Margaret Cassidy (University Catholic Society) and Mark Gummer (Tertiary Y oung Christian Students).

During my final year at high school I remember one of the Marist Brothers continually telling us that it was no good worrying about the past, there is nothing we can do about what had already happened. And further, he said, there was no point in getting too anxious about the future. All we could really cope with and do something about was the "now", the present moment, and he used to say "do what you should be doing at the time you should be doing it and do it to the best of your ability." Looking back on 1980 I have found it a time of joy and sorrow, time of laughter and tears; a time of pleasure and pain. This was not only in the area of working with many wonderful young people but with my immediate family and relations and my close friends. I repeatedly tell the full-time youth workers of CPY and YCW that the most important part of their work is personal contact. The phraseIcontinually use is not my own, it is "Contact — friendship — influence".

It is not necessary for you to send the results in because this is not a competi- L--tion. It is just an exercise which we thought you might find useful to fill in your time during the long school holidays. Captain Bob is a great believer in mental exercises. He says that if you don't keep using your brain, even when you are on holidays, it will get rusty.
And a rusty brain is something that he has no time for because he reckons it is a sign of laziness —and he knows members of the Record Kids' Club are by no means lazy. We know that you will have fun working out this exercise. We did — and we did it without the help of Captain Bob. In fact, we did it so easily that he is now thinking of preparing a far more difficult exercise for us in case we get too pleased The drawing shows two fellows, with with ourselves. nothing like Captain Bob's nautical That's another thing that Captain Bob knowledge, trying to work out what sig- can't stand - people with too high an opinnal the flags are spelling.

Perth-born Oblate Father Joe McCann is to step down from leading the national Worldwide Marriage Encounter Movement. In 1973, his provincial sent him to the United States to further his studies and it was during that time that one of his brother priests asked him to experience a Marriage Encounter weekend. He found that the weekend' not only did great things for those couples who were married and who wanted to stay together, but it had a deep spirituality and Catholic theology which challenged him to dream again of the majesty of the priesthood, what it
meant to be an ordained priest in the Catholic Church and what the people of the Catholic Church called their priests to be. He was asked to bring the movement back to Australia. When he arrived back in Australia it was to Melbounre and from there he contacted a couple who had made a Worldwide Marriage Encounter in New York — Dr Ron and Mavis Pirola — who lived in Sydney. Realising that the dis-
tance was too great for them to work together his superior gave him permission to move to Sydney. His reward has been to see Marriage Encounter grow from the 20 or so couples and priests who experienced the first weekend in Australia in 1974 to a movement where more than 17,000 couples, 600 priests and religious have done likewise. While Father McCann's dream for Australia did c ome true and the W orldwide Marriage
Encounter is now established in every diocese Australia, he, as the in missioner that he true looked further afield. is, During his long leadership he was instrumental in starting Worldwide Marriage Encounter in Fiji and New Zealand. He was later to represent the Pacific on the newlyformed World Council of W orldwide Marriage Encounter which meets about twice each year.

"About 300 people turned up and we had to open the side doors to accommodate the crowd," said scheme coordinator Mrs. Mary Reutens. In addition to bringing Christmas cheer to refugees and their Australian friends, she said, the party presented an opportunity for Australians interested in meeting refugees to get together. It was not merely a social event, but a cultural exchange.
