POPE John Paull II offered no for the radical priests upport s and nuns of the Philippines t oday when he spoke out against the involvement of the clergy in politics. "You are priests and religious," he said. "You are not social or political leaders or officials of a temporal power."
The Polish-born pontiff made his position clear within a few hours of arriving for a six-day visit to the Philippines. The pope said: "Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel if we dilute our charisma through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems." He stressed his opposition to social reform through revolution and at the same time gently chided the Marcos Government. "Even in exceptionable situations that may at times arise, one can never justify any violation of the fundamental dignity of the human person or of the basic rights that safeguard this dignity," he said. "Legitimate concern for the security of the nation, as demanded by the common good, could lead to the temptation of subjugating to the State the human being and his or her dignity and rights. "Any apparent conflict between the exigencies of security and of the citizens' basic rights must be resolved according to the fundamental .principle -- upheld always by the church — that social organisation exists only for the service of man and for the protection of his dignity, and that it cannot claim to serve the common good when human rights are not safeguarded."

But, he said, "The human person has a need which is even deeper, a hunger which is even greater than bread can satisfy -- it is the hunger of the human heart for the immensity of God." This hunger could only be satisfied by Christ, he said, "for he alone is the source of life." Citing Christ's prayer for Christian unity, he said that the "Divisions between Christians" were a source of sadness.
"We are saddened because we cannot yet share together in the one bread and the one cup. May this sadness prompt us to action," the pope said. The pontiff also cited the Eucharist as the driving force behind missionary work, saying it "should also deepen our desire for the whole human family to come to the light of faith. It should inspire us to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to all those who do not yet know him." The pope praised efforts of Pakistani Catholics "to bring the message of salvation, in a spirit of dialogue and respect, to those in your own country who do not know Christ."

Incoming and continuing members of the Diocesan Pastoral Council spent a full day last Saturday getting to know each other and studying various aspects of the working of the council. The orientation day preceded the four formal meeting days of the council each year, the first of which takes place in March.
The group were welcomed by Mr. Kevin Hogan, of Bencubbin, who has been re-elected for another fouryear term on the council and who has been chairman for the last two years. In he absence of Archbishop Goody, Bishop Healy traced the development of the Perth council, one of the first to be formed in Australia, since its early planning in 1971. A series of fortnightly meetings in 1971 attended by priests, Religious and laity explored the pastoral goals of such a council and various methods for establishing membership.

The forthcoming visit to Australia of liturgist/composer Joe Wise (left) and John Pell (right) is proving to be very popular. Workshops and c oncerts planned for Melbourne are completely booked out.
The planned workshop and concerts for Perth are filling up. One concert has been booked out, with some vacancies left for the second. Nearly half the places available for the Workshop on March 7 at Trinity College were booked in the first week.
The secretary of the Catholic Primary Principals Association, Mr John Willett, reported that there were still some vacancies for the Workshop, which is not just for musicians. Joe Wise will be treating a broad approach to liturgy, spiritual, corporal and musical. The Workshop will be of value to those
responsible or involved in liturgy with adults as well as students. The Workshop has attracted many country people, with applications coming from as far away as Boulder, Merredin, Katanning and Manjimup. A group of students are also travelling down from Merredin on March 6 for one of the students' concerts. Mr Willett also commented that it was hoped that the Perth Workshop would be booked out, as this would ensure that in the future Perth would be included in the itinerary of visiting liturgists and musicians. For too long the West had missed out. A pplications for the Workshop should be sent to Mr J.J. Willett, Our Lady's Assumption School, 356 Grand Promenade, Dianella. ($10 per person — morning and afternoon tea provided. Cheques payable to Catholic Primary Principals Assoc.)

BLIND Fooling Whom? Record
Jack and Cath Radford were married in 1974. It would have been an unnoticed late marriage of two widowed partners except for the fact they had both been blind for many years and they met at a s ocial for blind people. For Cath Radford the last six years have been a fairy story, she says.
A FAIRY STORY
With very real persecution of Catholics taking place in Salvador or Zimbabwe or Pope John Paul now confronting the social injustice of the Philippines there are more serious issues to be worrying the Church than a few over-ripe tomatoes being hurled at the Church on a Perth stage.

WHAT'S ON LENT AT ST. BRIGID'S
The Legion of Mary members work for Mary and their weekly Legion meeting provides the framework in which to carry out its service. The "Braille" Praesidium which has been functioning continuously since 1947 today needs more members.
Many have assisted this Legion group over the years as drivers - such as the Victoria Park and Maylands Legion of Mary, day at 7.30 pm. Confes- the St Vincent de Paul sions will be heard before Society and the Catholic and after the presentation. Social Club. Often they are known as "Mary Ladies".
blind means making many new friends. Legionaries visit blind people scattered across the metropolitan area and there are outings to discos, shopping, socials and river trips. She hopes that during the International Year of the Disabled Person more people in the parishes will „ become aware of the needs of the blind living in their streets. They can visit them, ring them up, take them out; they can provide transport to Mass, etc.

WASHINGTON (NC) — Participants in an o fficial dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Presby terian Reformed Church have agreed that the mission of the church includes working "towards a society where abortion need not occur." "We will take responsibility as part of the mission of the church," they said, "to create an ethos which values all life and which works toward a society where abortion need not occur." Although agreeing on the need for supportive services for women with problem pregnancies, the dialogue participants noted that Catholics intended such services to support a decision to carry the pregnancy to term, whereas PresbyterianReformed Church members believe society ought also to provide services that could support a personal decision to have an abortion.

prayed for
Homes for aged, school board and a hospital Time is the commodity of which Norm Dallimore finds himself in shortest supply, and it is easy to see why when the scope of his activities is considered.
One of the corporal works of mercy presently occupying as many hours as he can budget is the Southern Cross Homes retirement village project at Rossmoyne.
It is the third and by far the biggest such undertaking in which the Knights of the Southern Cross have been involved. In 1968 the WA Knights pioneered this sort of development among Knights in Australia when they opened the aged people's units in the Monastery grounds at North
Today's People A weekly feature By BOB BOYLE Perth — followed by a similar exercise at Embleton — and now all other States have folrowed suit. The Rossmoyne complex will be considerably bigger than its predecessors with 45 one and twobedroom units, a 44-bed hostel and provision for the establishment later of a nursing home in its 21 2 / hectares of grounds.
Mr. Norman George (Norm) Dallimore was born in Perth and educated at the Learoyd Street Sacred Heart school, CBC Highgate and Aquinas College. He started his pharmacy studies in 1949, qualified in 1953 and worked with his father, George Henry, in the Newcastle Street business that was compelled by roadwork developments to shift to another shop in the same street. He is national vice-president of the Knights of the Southern Cross for WA, a foundation member of the Southern Cross Homes board, chairman of PanAustralian Insurance (operated by the Knights), a board member of St. Joseph's Hospital at Bicton, chairman of the St. Pius X school board at Manning and a former member of the parish council there. He is a past president and life member of the Old A quinians Association on whose committee he served for 26 years, and a director of Pellegrini Pty Ltd. He was awarded membership of the Order of Australia for his work for schools and aged people's homes.
Norm first gained an appreciation of the worth of modern aged people's homes through doing the pharmaceutical dispensing at the Mt. Lawley War Veterans' Homes. He passed on his thoughts to Bishop Quinn who shortly afterwards was approached on the same subject by Redemptorist priests Fathers McGill and Dennehy. The bishop suggested that they have a talk to Norm, who was known to both of them. As a result of this talk a committee was formed and Southern Cross Homes was born. It was breaking completely new ground for the Knights and it brought its quota of headaches as well as hard work. The North Perth and Embleton establishments were funded by the Commonwealth Government, but the Commonwealth has withdrawn funding from all such projects which now have to be entirely resident-funded. Lack of Government finance has made the purchase of units difficult for a number of people and aroused a determination among the Knights to make their units as cheap as possible while providing a good standard and on-going care for the residents. "People buying into the Rossmoyne development will find it cheaper than purchasing a home unit," Norm says, "and at the same time they will be assured of ongoing care and a life-time tenancy." Other members besides Norm of the Knights committee working on the Rossmoyne project are Tom Perrott (chairman), Bernie Prindiville, Brian Jackson, Bill Bryant and Jerry Donovan. As with its predecessors, the complex is right next to a church and close to public transport and shopping facilities.
The Southern Cross Homes now known as B.F. Prindiville Village adjacent to the Redemptorist Monastery at North Perth and opened in 1968 were one of Australia's first such projects by the Knights of the Southern Cross. Norm Dallimore was one of the instigators of the project.

Norm says that, from experience with its predecessors, it would be wise for those interested in taking up accommodation at Rossmoyne to apply as early as possible. The number of applications will dictate the number of units that will be built, and the more that are built the cheaper each one becomes. Again from experience, it has been found that such establishments are happy places. The residents are much of an age, have a lot in common but privacy when they want it, and feel secure in the knowledge that their needs will be met immediately they arise. The provision of homes for the aged facilities fulfills one of the stated objects of the Knights which is: "To conduct and support educational, charitable, religious and social welfare work." Another Australian first for the WA Knights is the operation of a hospital — St. Joseph's at Bicton — where they have acquired more land for expansion. The 41-bed hospital has modern facilities and 24-hour-a-day operating theatre availability. Mother Gabriel, the provisional of the St. Joseph's order, sits on the hospital board with the Knights and four nuns of the order are on the staff. Norm has a continuing and happy
association with Aquinas College where he ran in the inter-school sports as a sprinter in each of the six years he was there and rowed in the college second eight. He and Kelmscott chemist Brian O'Brien were dubbed the terrible twins by principal Brother Garvey who once told them in some exasperation: "Whenever there is any trouble I know that 90 per cent of the time you two are involved, butI can prove it only 10 per cent of the time." Norm is chairman of the committee charged with raising $11 2 / million for building at Aquinas that includes classrooms, a manual arts centre and — if there are sufficient funds — a hall-gymnasium. "We will be approaching old boys and parents previously not contacted through lack of time and manpower," he says. He is on the businessmen's committee of the Old Aquinians Hockey Club and is team manager for one of the younger sides. In the rare moments when he has time he likes to pursue the hobby of stamp collecting in which he has been engaged since he was seven years of age, and fit in a bit of fishing if he can. Norm and his wife Judy (nee Snowdon) have three daughters and three sons ranging in age from 12 to 24.

The six hectares of land at King Edward Road in Osborne Park that her father James Jackson had leased and on which he settled his little family from Cheshire is vivid in Connie Miller's early memories of the country she has grown to love and celebrate in prose. But flood and fire in quick succession put an end to the market gardening aspirations of farmer James and the family moved to a hessian shack in White Street at Osborne Park where mother had to cook the meals on an outside fire.
Mrs Connie Miller (nee Jackson) was born on a farm in Cheshire, came to WA with her family in 1912 and was brought up as a strict Wesleyan Methodist. Working as a civilian with naval intelligence in Melbourne during World War II, she found that most of the people with whom she was associated in her naval duties were Catholics and she was impressed with what fine and honourable folk they were. It must be a good religion to produce such people, she thought. She had had a leaning towards Catholicism since her unil ersity days when she used to stand and contemplate the painting entitled The Annunciation brought back from Florence by Professor Walter Murdoch. So in Melbourne she took instruction from Father Connellan, of the Blessed Sacrament order, and was received into the Church. The first of her literary works to be published, a short story entitled Within the Gate, appeared in the Messenger of the Sacred Heart in 1961. Since then she has had a lot of material published and she has just brought out her first book, an autobiographical novel entitled After Summer Merrily.
James drove a van for the Monarch Laundry before he joined the AIF as an artilleryman in 1916 and moved his family to Vincent Street in West Leederville. The twelve shillings and sixpence a week rent for the first house was a bit steep for a man on a gunner's pay, so they moved to another house in the same street where the rent was ten shillings a week before father -sailed overseas with his unit.
Night studies at Perth Tech Connie went to the West Leederville State School and later to Perth Girls' in James Street before becoming apprenticed as a tailoress to Roy Miller whose bankruptcy resulted in the business and her apprenticeship being transferred to Eli Rapperport. Eli recounted how he and his wife were both only 13 when they were married in Russia and she used to play with dolls for some time after the nuptials.

Foetal alcohol syndrome can occur if the mother has taken alcohol before and during the early stages of pregnancy. Dr Basil Hetzel, the director of the CSIRO's division of human nutrition in Adelaide, said the syndrome was not known to many doctors and even hospital pediatricians because it had only recently been described overseas. "A few cases have been reported from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth but I think these are just the tip of the iceberg," he said. "The danger is that many girls don't immediately realise they are pregnant and so continue with their drinking and smoking habits. "This means the foetus is exposed to alcohol in the critical first few weeks." Dr Hetzel, who was attending the Sixth Australian Medical Congress, in Tasmania, said the syndrome was relatively common

alcoholics developed foetal alcohol syndrome. She said the severity of the syndrome's features and brain damage increased with the alcohol intake of the mother before and during early pregnancy.
Facial features "Many women who are heavy drinkers would underestimate the intake." she said. "But we should be seeing many more cases of the syndrome in Australia, and alert clinicians are now picking up the distinctive facial features." Dr Stanley said much more work needed to be done to explain the syndrome's mechanisms and to provide women and doctors with information on just h ow much alcohol was dangerous. "The pregnant woman without help, publicly and individually has to avoid the known foetotoxic agents — cigarettes, alcohol, X-rays and certain drugs." she said.

to drag people off park benches and into his own house, but instead he chose to quietly inform individuals and organisations of his project. He rented a large house and worked at turning it into a home for strangers. In a sense he was homeless himself because he had moved from his parents' home in Narrogin to the big smoke where he knew very few people. Mark Goerke talked about his involvement over the past six months with a group of unemployed youth and his efforts in running a home rather than an institution, in Aberdeen Street, Perth. He spoke of the real problems involved in community living with a group of strangers, some of whom had never experienced the continuous security of a parental

From a different angle Bruce Tilley described his work at a recently a established inner city drop-in centre called "The Cave", which is located above Kelly's Pool Parlour Ei in Murray Street, Perth. The young leaders who are piloting this project aim to provide an e alternative to the usual entertainment sought by young people in the hotels or by just wandering the city streets.

TO DOGS EXHIBITED COMMISSION'S REACTIONS
HIGH COURT CASE IN PREPARATION 1973 EARLY INCE S Originators
MELBOURNE — Both National Catholic Education Commission and Victorian Catholic Commission members were happy at the High Court decision but hold no recriminatory feelings against Defence of Government Schools (DOGS) for having brought the action. Catholic schools spokesmen have welcomed the High Court decision and stressed that nongovernment schools want to work in harmony, not in competition, with government schools. The National Catholic Education Commission said the decision had made it clear that freedom of choice in education was an integral part of a democratic society. In a statement released in Canberra immediately the decision was handed down, the commission's executive secretary, Br. Aloysius Carmody, said nongovernment schools wanted to work in harmony rather than in competition with government schools.
Matter now clarified The statement said: "We acknowledge the right of members of the community to challenge the correctness of government actions, and although this High Court case has been both costly and timeconsuming, we are happy that the matter has been clarified. "We are pleased that the Australian Constitution has been found not to preclude the fundamental right of people to Choose an education based on a religious approach to life. "This freedom to choose is an integral Part of a pluralistic democratic society. "It is a matter of social justice that the freedom to choose an education should be available to the parents of all children irrespective of their financial status and achievement if this requires public subsidy of non-government schools.
children in a context and ethos which the Catholic community asks of its schools." He said the two bodies had nothing against the Council for the Defence of Government Schools. "We acknowledge people's rights to question the validity of particular acts of parliament."

Backing
No political parties or other State governments backed the challenge made to the High Court over funding of religious schools. The Federal Government and the Opposition both were pleased with the High Court ruling. The Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, had earlier indicated that he would have resorted to a referendum had the decision gone against present funding. The Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Hayden, said that he would have backed such a referendum.

Sisters' 74 dedicated gears
at the TimberIeu missions
"My admiration for the Sisters of St. John of God has increased tremendously", Father Pat Ahern of the Catholic Missions Office, Perth, said returning recently from a visit to the Kimberley Missions. Father Ahern said that his visit had enabled him to see the work of the Sisters at first hand in such places as Broome, Beagle Bay, Derby, and the remote Balgo Mission. The Sisters of St. John of God had been working continuously in these mission areas for the past seventy four years.
There were a few old stockings, jumped into people on these missions the Bay, waded through today who could vividly three feet of water to the remember the Sisters' beach, then walked seven early years, Father Ahern miles in their bare feet continued. and wet clothes to the "Cemetries at the var- mission." ious missions tell their The convent where they own story of heroic Sisters who have lived and1 died among their people," he said. "Everywhere there is evidence of great love and sacrifice which has been shared in a wonderful Christian spirit. "Aborigines who were babies when the Sisters arrived in the Kimberleys are now old people." One of the valiant pioneer Sisters of the Kimberleys was Mother Antonio O'Brien.

cooking, washing and all kinds of housework. In 1908, Mother Antonio established a school in Broome on the presbytery verandah. The music teacher was Sister Alphonsus.
The Sisters also undertook nursing in Broome, particularly among the Japanese pearling divers.
Leprosanum
While in Derby, Father Ahern said, he had the opportunity to visit the Leprosarium where the St. John of God Sisters had been nursing lepers for almost forty years. The pioneer Sister of this work was Sister Alphonsus Daly, who even organised a leper orchestra as well as tending to her hospital duties. Sister Alphonsus has described her work, particularly in the early years, in a beautiful little book entitled "Healing Hands". Sister mentions how one day when the Sisters were on an excursion, they were shocked to meet an Aboriginal with leprosy. "The distasteful sight made us rethink our vocation," Sister said.
When Derby Leprosarium opened in 1935, it was administered for a few years by qualified lay staff. This system did not prove satisfactory, so an advertisement asking for help was put in the local paper. The Sisters of St. John of God applied and they were given three months trial. They have been there ever since. In 1948 Magistrate Bateman wrote a report on the leprosarium in which he said: "It would be impossible to express adequately the admiration one feels for the devoted and self sacrificing nursing Sisters who uncomplainingly give their services without reward in the interests of the natives." In 1955, Sisters Alphonsus Daly and Gertrude Greene were honoured by the Queen with the Order of the British Empire.
Balgo
The Sisters also staff the mission hospital and clinic at remote Balgo Mission near the Northern Territory border. The special problems of that mission were associated with its isolation and climate, Father Ahern said. From Balgo the Sisters travel out to the new mission centres of Lake Gregory and Billiluna. "Make sure you take some water with you", was the advice given to Father Ahern by several people on the scorching day he set out for Lake Gregory with one of the Sisters in a Landrover. Today, as the various missions are gradually
