The 'cycle of despair', as Hugo once called it, for all of them is clear. Trauma, accompanied by feelings akin to bravado, helplessness, hopelessness, the seeking of an 'easy escape' through drugs, illicit sex and stealing to finance the process. The sequence is capable of course of almost infinite variation. Is there not need then for us all to re-assess our own priorities? How real in our conscious selves are Christ's words: "What you do for the least of these you do unto me"

Divine director The theme of the third annual Catholic Charismatic Conference, at the end of this month is Hear My Word. It will emphasise that the Charismatic Renewal believes that God is directing His Church in the midst of today's troubled world, that God is calling people out of darkness and selfishness of the world into the light of His kingdom, that God wants people to understand what it means to be "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a people set apart" (1 Peter 2:9). The conference speakers are Fr. Joseph Oblinger and Mr. Jack Brombach. Fr. Oblinger, ordained in Seattle, USA, in 1946, has held numerous positions within the Church and is currently director of Christhaven House of Prayer. As Vicar for the Spiritual Renewal he is responsible for the Charismatic Renewal, Cursillo, Search, Marriage Encounter, Bible study programmes and evangelism in the diocese. Mr. Brombach has been involved with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal for more than 12 years and has been a member of the National Service Committee to the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church in the USA for five years. He has been the overall co-ordinator of the Servants of the Lord Ecumenical Christian Community for the past eight years. The conference begins on Thursday January 29 and ends with Mass and healing service at St. Mary's Cathedral at 7.30 pm on Monday February 2. Daytime sessions at the Concert Hall begin with Mass at 8.30 am. Registration fees are: Adult delegate $30; married couples $45; tertiary students and pensioners $20; married pensioner couples $30.

The Record, January 8-14, 1981

Record It is all very well to laugh at the antics of moral theology over the centuries but in the present drinkdrive debate the moral theologian has the laugh on the cynic who says he needs no fiddling about laws. Theologians of yore did not argue merely over number of angels sitting on the point of a needle. They decided that the Sunday Mass obligation depended on distance (walking 3/4 mile) that fasting depended on the size of breakfast (two ounces) and that there were more and less indecent parts of the body (unmentionable).

Freedom of man's

Man must be able to make his choices in accordance with values to which he gives his support; it is up to society to favour this freedom, while taking into Because there are no moral theologians around to inject a little practical sanity into drinking and driving account the common good.

Having outgrown that sort of thing — as we say — the majority of Catholics no longer go to Mass at all, fasting is a penance for weight watching but never for the soul, and during the summer exposure the public tolerates the most blatant contradictions about what is barely acceptable.

the problem is handed round from RTA to government to hospitals so that the ordinary person does not have to get involved at all.

It was a welcome breeze that brought the redoubtable Mr. Herb Graham out into the debate this week prepared to ask the further questions that are shirked in the more emotional approaches to road traffic problems. The pity of it was that he raised real moral questions but then handed down a list of regulations that would have outpaced the most calculating moralist of old. It is the essence of moral theology to ask questions such as when is a drunk driver not really drunk, or when a maniac behind the wheel of a car is not a paranoid savage. But faced with mayhem on the roads, human beings are finding out that moral theology cannot live with its head in the clouds simply mouthing ideals or slogans. Nothing is perfect, but if there are no radar traps, no breathalyser bags and no painted speed signs, what will take their place? Like the emperor, modern morality is found to have no clothes at all when ideas are more closely investigated. A sub-editor on The West Australian tried a trifle too hard when he dubbed Mr. Graham's analysis with the headline "Publicans and Sinners". He should have remembered that publicans were once other than in pubs; he could ask the finance writers what would happen if the government did not have its liquor sales tax and excise to fill the coffers.

Courts of law are not allowed to judge sinners (we said farewell to the confessional box) so the sinners are getting off lightly in the red tape of officialdom. With the monotony of temperature reports, the public are being assaulted by road death, accident rates, pictures of mangled cars — in fact everything but the truth. (Mr. Graham described the process as intimidation and the creation of fear.)

On this page are printed excerpts from the message of Pope John Paul II for the 14th World Day of Peace celebrated on January 1.

The first of these values is always man's relationships to God. Religious freedom becomes the basis of the other freedoms.

The best guarantee of freedom and its real attainment depends upon the responsibility of individuals and peoples, upon the efforts of each person at his own level.

I repeat what I have not ceased to state since the beginning of my ministry: "Freedom of conscience and religion... is... a primary and inalienable right of the person; authorities in society must make possible the exercise of true freedom in all its manifestations.

Freedom is not something that is given. It is something to be constantly won. It goes hand in hand with the sense of responsibility that everyone must have.

• They must endeavour to guarantee each individual's possibility of realizing his or her human potential to the full.

One does not make people free without at the same time making them more aware of the demands of the common good and making them more responsible.

• They must allow each person a juridically protected domain of independence, so that every human being can live, individually and collectively, in accordance with the demands of his or her conscience. This freedom is called for in the major international pacts and other documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

As for the "sinners" it is usually the press that laughs loudest if anyone is brazen enough to use the word —and usually only about sex. Yet if one citizen is murdering another by his drunken or suicidal driving, why is it not a sinful act? If there are people alive today who are hopeless cripples for life because of culpable driving, has no sin been committed?

•

Freedom is not merely a right that one claims for oneself. It is also a duty that one undertakes with regard to others.

A climate of mutual trust must be established and strengthened. Without it freedom cannot develop.

Freedom is the measure of the maturity of man and of the nation. Like peace, freedom is an effort to be ceaselessly renewedin order to give man his full humanity. Let us not await the peace of the balance of terror. Let us not accept violence as the way to peace. Let us instead begin by respecting true freedom: the resulting peace will be a peace built on justice, a peace founded on the incomparable dignity of the free human being.

It sets up the possession of things as a basic human value instead of aiming at a If it is really to serve peace, the freedom certain material prosperity as the condiof each human individual and each com- tion and means for the full development munity must respect the freedoms and of the talents of the individual in collaboLocked away in official drawers is evidence that rights of other individuals and ration with and in harmony with his more than half of these road deaths involved people communities. fellowmen. who were alcoholically or even psychologically incapable of being in charge of a vehicle let alone having respect for life.

Schools are being walloped for not preparing children for life. Children are not prepared for life if they are not told that sin is brutal and real in irresponsible driving, in the breakdown of human family life, in greed and self centredness.

Like freedom and peace, this trust is no.t something that is given; it is something that has to be gained, something that has to be dekrved. When an individual does not accept his responsibility for the common good, when a nation does not feel that it has a share of responsibility for the destiny of the world, trust is jeopardised. Only trust merited by concrete action in favour of the common good will make possible, between individuals and nations, the respect for freedom which is a service to peace.

More and more is there a growing tendency to depart from the written text of the Missal in preference for permissible and appropriate. It is home-made substitutes. The rubrics make it quite clear when this is especially when this also alarming when such changes alter the theological meaning and intent, and involves the changing of Scripture texts.

CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC CONFERENCE, 1981

The Record, January 8-14, 1981

Several priests, including two Slovak Jesuits, had their books, printed materials and manuscripts confiscated during the search of their apartments. Jesuit Father Povala's apartment in Zilina, Czechoslovakia, was raided by police on charges the priest had illegally manufactured and sold wooden crosses. After a 10-hour search the police removed no crosses but instead carried away Father Povala's religious literature, private correspondence, manuscripts of his religious and historic research, photographs and other materials. Father Povala, although a specialist in history and archeology, was able to find work in his field only as a laborer and digger at archeological sites. He also has served as spiritual director of nuns allowed to continue nursing duties in a home for elderly women. The police also forced their way into the homes of Father Povlava's relatives and took other materials stored by the priest there. Police also searched the apartment of Jesuit Father Krapka, who also has been forbidden to work as a priest and has served as organist at a former Jesuit church in Trnava, Czechoslovakia. Father Krapka has extensively studied modern theology and the police confiscated his entire library.

Methodists are closer

R ALEIGH, N.C. (NC) — United Methodist Bishop Cannon said he told Pope John Paul II at their meeting in Rome that in some areas Methodists are closer to the Catholic Church than to other Protestant churches.

itical activity by religious, in the sense of engaging in party politics, should take place only "when extraordinary circumstances might require it." and only with the approval of the authorities of the local church and one's religious order. "Building up the kingdom of God in the very structures of the world, as the gospel animation of human history, is certainly a theme of lively interest fog the whole christian community, and thus also for religious," says the document. "But" it adds, "Not in the sense of letting themselves be involved directly in political action." It cites two meanings of "political": good citizenship, and direct participation in party choices — what is called 'Political action.' The first, the document says, is part of the duty of a religious just as it is for any citizen. Regarding the second, it comments: "Religious, •recognizing the valid contribution that derives from the power of their evangelical witness and from the variety of their apostolic initiatives, must not let themselves be captivated by the illusion of being able to have great influence on the development of persons and peoples by substituting for their specific tasks a 'politi-

The document recommends to religious that "with their scholastic institutions, means of communication and manifold religious and educational initiatives they can instead actively contribute to the preparation, especially of the young, making them artisans of human and social promotion, whose reflections will not fail to appear in the political sector as well." The document particularly encourages "initiatives undertaken by women religious to collaborate in the promotion of the woman, so as to promote her adequate insertion in those sectors of public as well as ecclesial life which best correspond to her nature and her own qualities." The document says that through these approaches m5n and women religious "make themselves credible 'experts of the gospel,' making themselves useful, as such, in the healing and building of society even while keeping their distance from specific political options, so as to present themselves not as partisan men and women but as instruments of pacification and brotherly solidarity." "Active political. participation, then, remains an exception and a fact of substitution, to be evaluated according to particular criteria," the document says.

Today's People A weekly feature By BOB BOYLE

Mr. Thomas Edward (Tom) McDowell has been Assistant -Director of Agriculture since 1971.

m, farmers

Born in Perth and educated at Christian Brothers' High School (where he was a classmate of Bishop Quinn), and A quinas College, he joined the Department of Agriculture in 1949 after having obtained a B.Ag.Sc degree from the University of WA to which, in 1964, he added a Diploma of Agriculture Extension from the University of Queensland. He and his wife Julie, who are members of the Como parish, have two daughters and two sons living in points as far apart as Perth, Derby, Northampton and Gladstone (Queensland). The offspring range in age from 16 to 26.

Tom McDowell, the man with the grey wavy hair and direct gaze, is worried about the drought that now has Western Australia in its toils. He says that 3,500 farmers are battling in the 30 to 40 per cent of the State's agricultural areas that have been declared drought-affected. It is at least the secondworst dry spell we have ever had, being about on a par with 1969-70 and perhaps only marginally better than the aridity of the 1930s and 1 890s.

Northern and north-eastern wheatbelt farmers in a body called the WA Weather Research Association have laid on the line $50,000 a year for three years — an heroic effort in their straitened circumstances — to which the Government has added a $2-to-$ 1 subsidy.

And the last two bad periods mentioned, he says with foreboding and a hope that history will not r epeat itself, each lingered on for 10 years.

Cloud-seeding to bring rain is the object of the exercise which has been going on unavailingly for some time.

Thirty-one shires in rural districts are wholly or partly affected. Northern and north-eastern agricultural areas have been in a drought situation since 1976 — five of the Biblical seven lean years and half-way to the horror of the 1890s and 1930s. Farm income has dropped by a t otal of $400 million compared to an average season with a resultant sharp downturn in the money the man on the land always sends coursing through a big slice of the State's economy. Northern and north-eastern area farmers are reeling, but those in southern areas had average to near-average seasons from 1976 to 1979 and are better able to withstand the financial pressure of one dry season. Small business people in country t owns are farmers, suffering just as much as and that is why the G overnment has extended loans to them on farmers. the same basis as it has to "What break towe really need is an early the 1981 season to help r i ecovery," he says with prayerful ntensity. All this is very much in Tom's court as chairman of the Drought C onsultative Committee.

Heroic NRut his work as chairman of the orthern Opens a Wheatbelt Cloud Study maybe chink of light — and scene. rain — on the gloomy

High-level scientific aid just brought to bear on the experiments by the CSIRO and WAIT has suggested that dry ice instead of silver iodide should be used to "bomb" the clouds. The scientists now believe that clouds which passed unyielding over the northern drought areas last winter would have dropped rain if dry ice and, not silver iodide had been the agent used. The farmers with their money and futures at stake hope that they're right and that suitable clouds will roll up next winter.

Labour dearth A dearth of skilled labour is plaguing all farmers and the Advisory. Committee on Agricultural Education, of which Tom is the chairman, has been studying the question. The development of farm schools and the introduction of a farm cadet training scheme are among the matters it has considered. The committee has made a recommendation to the Minister for Education, Mr Grayden. Some ideas of the wide range of Tom's responsibilities may be gained from the bodies on which he serves in addition to those already mentioned. He is chairman of the State Wheat Advisory Committee, the State Coarse Grains and Seeds Advisory Committee and the Central South Regional Development Committee, and he is a member of the Bushfires Board and the Rural Youth Movement Council.

For good measure he is vicepresident of the Association For the Blind of WA, an interest he first took up through contact with a blind telephonist who worked on the Department of Agriculture's switchboard for 20 years. He has certainly seen a lot of the WA rural scene at close hand. Atter a year at the Wongan Hills research station early in his career with the department he was transferred to the Esperance Downs research station where he was engaged in the early experimental work and development of the station and the district. For three years he was district agricultural adviser in the Katanning area and for the next nine years he was officer-in-charge of the Narrogin district office of the department.

Development In the early 1950s he was associated with investigations conducted in the South Borden district, work which was a forerunner to the development of a big area around Jerramungup and Gairdner River. He took a leading part in the establishment of the Forrestania trial plots 60 kilometres east of Hyden to test the agricultural potential of a new area. The success of this project led to farmer-sponsored research by the department in heavily-timbered country in a good rainfall belt centred around Boddington. Tom's work keeps him in touch with bodies such as the Grain Pool of WA, the Australian Wheat Board, Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd. and the executives of the Farmers' Union and the Pastoralists and Graziers' Association. In his task of helping farmers, he acts in close association with local governing authorities in many areas. Men like Tom McDowell work hard at the task of aiding farmers to beat the swords of adversity into the ploughshares of progress.

Besides the special visitors, some University Extension academic staff and summer school tutors would live in to join with students in informal exchanges of ideas and experiences. The Values and Patterns summer school has five morning and four late afternoon theme lectures, 35 optional courses a nd three evening seminars. A new feature of this school is the special late afternoon fee of $20 for people in the workforce who cannot attend all day but can perhaps arrange to attend a late

afternoon course and theme lectures and the evening seminars if they wish. Both schools have a special $20 reduced fee for disabled people, pensioners and students. The IYD summer school fees include a donation fee of $40. It consists of the $30 standard fee for a selection of courses and all theme lectures, and a $10 donation to help subsidise the reduced fees and the high cost of mounting the schools.

Appealathon manager Bruce Walker are pictured below with the rtist's impression of the 1981 Appealathon home. The Appealathon home is well on its way to completion. Situated in Tacoma Street, Duncraig, the luxury split-level home s being built by an army of contractors and businesses who kindly onate their time and labour each year in aid of the Appealathon ause. To date the concrete foundation has been laid and the brickwork ompleted. The next step is to pitch the roof. The home features a sunken lounge with open fire place, a unken casual room, a family room, kitchen and meals area, study, our bedrooms, and a powder room as well as two bathrooms. Ourside living space features a pergola and patio, below-groun wimming pool, and fully -landscaped gardens making it a rea ream home. The Appealathon home, which should be open for inspection b arch, should be one of the biggest single money-raisers for Chanel 9's charity campaign. Last year's home went under the hammer for $126,500 — th Iggest sum of money ever raised from a charity home in A ustralia.

This is the first time for several years that UDS has presented an entertainment for the whole f amily during the summer holiday season. Playwright Trevor Peacock was commissioned to write this version for the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, England, and once he began researching the story he discovered that the tale of Cinderalla is to be found dating back over thousands of years, and coming from all corners of the earth. He found Chinese versiOns and African versions, varying greatly in setting and detail but basically the same universal myth — a way of acting out a universal problem — for we all have to emerge from childhood and move into adulthood.

Nine's movie buff Michael Brock pictured with some of the films he previewed for the 1981 International Film Season of which Channel Nine is a sponsor. The season is a part of the Festival of Perth. While Michael is interested in all areas of the Festival, the films hold the main attraction for him. Host of Nine's Clapperboard, Michael compiled a special programme recently featuring aspects of the Festival of Perth, including previews of the films, and judging from the standard Michael said he queued for a front row seat when the film season began on January 5. "The 1981 International Film Season promises to be one of the best in recent years," Michael said. "The films cover a vast range of subjects with something of interest for everyone. "A feature willbe the major retrospective of Australian and Canadian short films which cover many important aspects of the histories which shapedthese two countries. Includedin these are a number of fascinating animated films," he added. The 1981 Festival of Perth runs from February 6 to March 2.

W.A. still has c hance in Shield a fter slow start

•

Western Australia is now back in the battle after a tardy start in the Sheffield Shield competition.

The WA team had a disappointing interstate tour earlier in the season and only their recent outright victory over South Austrlaia has helped restore some of the confidence and optimism which existed at the start.

5's more anger

Channel Nine Perth has invested heavily in the State team this season, offering a total of $44,750 in incentive payments to the team. However, payment of this money depends on the side winning matches and individual players achieving the prescribed rate of runs, . wickets and catches.

Your responsibility When it comes to pool supervision the onus is on adults — in many cases on the pool owner. Sometimes older children are given the responsibility, but is this fair? A ten or 11-year-old is more likely to be concentrating on having fun himself than watching out for younger brothers, sisters or family friends. Statistics show that children under five are most likely to drown whether it be in a home pool, the nver, the sea, a dam or the bath. *all children are naturally curious. Life is one big adventure. They are intent on finding out what it's all about. They have no idea of danger. They have not reached the stage of mental or physical development to cope with sudden, unfamiliar situations. S parkling water, bubbles, brightly coloured floating toys entice them. They are often capable climbers. They may be able to drag an old box over to a fence to gain access. They may be able to manipulate a gate latch that is not holding too firmly. Children need to learn to swim as early as possible but they cannot be e xpected to be safe in water until they are at least five or six — sometimes older. S wiming lessons for babies are Widely advertised. "Teach your baby to swim" — "waterproof your chile they say. ls it possible for a BABY to learn to swim?

"We've just had a pool put in at home. The kids are having a marvellous time in it. So are we. What about coming over? Bring the family and we'll have a swim a nd a barbecue lunch." This is a familiar summer invitation. Y ou may have extended one like it yourself — or received a similar one f rom friends. But s ometimes there may be a seed of anxiety in the back of Y our mind. How safe is your home swimming pool?

Most children .introduced to water in a secure environment will enjoy the experience. If mum and dad swim regularly, feel comfortable in the water and enjoy moving round in it, their children — even at an early age —are likely to find the same pleasure. Instructors encourage parents and children to swim together.

Your heart bursts with pride as Johnny submerges and surfaces and dog paddles a few yards — and he's not yet two. But is it feasible that this child will be able to cope if he slips unexpectedly into the water? There may be no one around. He may make it to the edge, but can he get himself out or attract attention? He may panic. The water may be cold. The familiar helping hand may be absent. It is an unknown experience. He is apt to curl up defensively, inhale water and sink quickly. Swimming lessons are good for children but adults should not develop a false sense of security about their ability to look after themselves in water. It could put too much responsibility on the child or on other children he may be with. It's only as a child grows older that he is able to understand danger and begin to accept education and instruction to make his day-to-day life safe. Although learning to swim has an important place in keeping a small child safe it must never replace adult supervision. Swimming aids too should be recognised for what they are. They can help some children become more confident in the water and provide a lot of fun at the same time. But again they will not replace constant adult supervision. Often your child will progress as quickly and have just as much fun without them. Never leave aids or toys floating in the pool — they are a "magnet" to young children.

"It is a tragedy that vandalism is being accepted as part of society today", Mr. Tormey said. "Not only buildings but also church monies are the target of vandals and thieves. "Over the Christmas period some $2,000 has been stolen from churches and presbyteries and this indicates that security will have to be increased on church premises", he commented.
