The lay apostolate in the fields of family, youth „ and the intellectuals needed special emphasis in a today's world, Archbishop Barbarito, papal pronuncio in Australia, told a gathering of 120 lay representatives last Saturday. Archbishop Barbarito warned his He pointed out that the first against wanting to withlisteners Church went the postles of a that was excluonly briefly to many towns draw to a society sively Catholic instead of being a when they cities but and Catholic presence in the wider returned there were thou- community. sands of converts to "We need thinkers who also are Christianity.

"Who did the converting?" Archbishop Barbarito continued. "The lay people..and we have to return to that original idea of the faithful being apostles." Referring to his four years as papal representative in West Africa, he made the point that the Moslem religion had spread across 54 the globe from Africa to Asia yet it did not send out missionaries. The conversion had been made by merchants — lay people who felt obliged to spread their Moslem faith. liii "The Church learnt this lesson in the first century but then forgot it," he explained. "Each person has to be a witness Ts by his life and profession of his lt faith." Stressing the effect that each person can have on society at large, he lS cited areas in which the laity had to make special efforts.
Crucial point
The family apostolate was first and in his recent travels the pope had insisted on the sanctity of family life, the respect for life, the transmission of life and the defence of life, the archbishop said. He called the family apostolate a crucial point in an affluent society. llg Turning to the apostolate to youth the pro-nuncio said: i i "You have selective apostolates to students, or to workers, but possibly you are lacking in an apostolate to youth at large. "Youth are looking for values. We have something to offer. "They are looking for some apostolic call to respond to; they are expecting something from the Church. :'We have to provide proper solutions to their problems with conviction, compassion and clarity." Archbishop Barbarito said that Y outh were searching for spirituality, even in some of the various cults. They were looking for something different in their lives. He said that while the wider apostolate to youth should develop there should also be an increase of the youth apostolate among stuCj and workers. Speaking of the intellectual apostolate, the pro-nuncio said that in the intellectual field Catholics did not have a presence proportionate to their number in the community. "The impact of Catholics in intellectual life is not proportionate to the 25 per cent they are in the national population," he said. Noting the big numbers that had been educated at Catholic schools he asked: "Where are they?" In the past ten years humanists had shaped many sensitive areas of legislation. "We need not only the occasional conference or seminar but an active and constant presence so that we deepen our knowledge and •er act accordingly," he said.
II
Catholics, teachers and cultural dispensers who also are Catholics so that they can influence the milieu in which they work," he said. "We must not give the impression that we want to take the world over. "We need people with a sound theological background, with a strong faith, strong love of Christ and the Church and with dedication." Archbishop Barbarito praised the magnificent effort Catholics had achieved in the field of charitable and social works conducted by the various institutions.
After Mass in St. Mary's Cathedral last Sunday, the Papal Pro-Nuncio Archbishop Barbarito has a word with baby Rosalie Patricia Gehrmann, held by her father, Otto, alongside daughters Maria Louise (obscured) and Iringard. Originally from Germany, the family have just come from Sydney to Park wood.

Bishop Damas, of San Salvador, has said: "The violence that results from military actions is not a solution to our conflict. "What are we accomplishing by multiplying armaments?

Donations and death
"Boots, boots, marching up and down again" pounds out Kipling's poem, "there's no discharge in the war". Over the centuries there has never been much fun in marching especially if it was the only way to earn a living in a mercenary army and the odds against coming back alive if you lost the war. The Church has even a soft spot for marches, recommending a stiff walk to a saint's distant tomb as a good antidote for sin or a seasonal stroll with song and litany as a good way to honour God and the saints. Today there are proportionately less marches, less mass meetings, less people taking part as a distinctly different complexion descends on the few rallies that are occuring. Once you had to be there taking part, to savour the scene and knowing what was going on. Even depending on a press report meant reading words and speeches, lots of them, and few pictures. Today instead it has become an armchair viewing exercise as the camera zooms, the helicopters hover above and every puff, grunt and punch is transmitted to fill up hungry time on a television or radio news programme. A fter a maximum of 60 seconds exposure the audience may not even be meant to be any wiser on the issues. The audience could be excused for thinking they are being conned. From a demonstration in far off Vietnam or Iran the placards will be conveniently printed in English for the benefit of international satellite viewers. Locally any group from a hundred to thousands on any issue gets the same inevitable television coverage, signs waved that insult the intelligence, the same tired old commentary being read out, thankful that someone ran foul of the law just to relieve the monotony. The marches of up to 20,000 last week expressing indignation over strikes marked a new turn because the marchers came virtually from nowhere and went back again leaving the question hanging: What next? L et's hope these will be the marches-to-end-allmarches, to end the posturing and blustering that is being served up as industrial relations, or so called concern, producing much noise and little light, if any. In the thousands of words spoken and printed during the Qantas strike the public learnt nothing. There is a limit to the number of ways it can be reported that the planes will/ will not fly again, the parties will/ will not meet again. A current Victorian enquiry on press ownership has revealed the sorry standard of reporting of industrial matters, on how much space is devoted to predicting strikes and how little to the issues at stake. Union leaders may well complain that the media are giving them a bad image but the microphones are being poked into their faces night after night, outside conference halls, and union meetings. The public can make up its own mind whether it is satisfied with what it is hearing. The breakdown in wage structuring at present could suggest that in Australia two groups — those who have jobs and those who provide them — have set up a sparring club for their mutual benefit. But the issue of who will have jobs and who will have the right even to earn any money at all needs to be talked about much more loudly than is being allowed at present. The problem of distributing wealth will go on to the end of time and jostling for more cake is not a friendly exercise. Karl Marx did not find a solution but the season of Lent might if it was given a chance. A ustralia's proposed resource boom will look a very strange success story to millions of unemployed Asians on our doorstep wondering how to join the club. Patronising comments that last week's marchers were entitled to their outing or that they were dividing a community shouldprove once and for all that many of the faces on centre stage have run out of words.
From Maureen Mackay, secretary Right to life. Sir, A January report in the West Australian of "genetic counselling" being used to reduce the incidence of muscular dystrophy was followed closely by your editorial, "Defending Life" (The Record January 29). Despite millions of dollars given by a generous public for muscular dystrophy research, you rightly stated in your edi0
torial that the only "cure" so far is "genetic counselling". Those who abhor abortion may not be aware that this is a euphemism for the killing in late pregnancy of all babies not c onsidered genetically acceptable. The Muscular Dystrophy Foundation benefits substantially from Channel 7 Telethon, which has received support in your columns, and for which some Catholic schools raise funds.
According to The West Australian report, it also receives support from Rotary, of which many Catholics are active members. In passing, the King Edward Memorial Hospital 150th year appeal also received significant Catholic support, yet one of its projects was to research a method of detecting genetic abnormalities earlier in pregnancy, to allow earlier killing of the genetically unacceptable. We should, of course, be roundly condemning such tra-
vesties of compassion that kill what they cannot cure. The very least we can do is to face the moral dilemma of whether we should continue to give financial support to the killing of unborn babies because they are genetically unacceptable to those who have the power to kill them. There are, after all, plenty of excellent causes for our personal generosity in areas that do not pose these serious moral questions.

VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II firmly warned the Dutch bishops to carry through their year-old special synod resolutions, regardless of difficulties they may face.
In a letter to the Dutch bishops the pope said that carrying out the resolutions was "a fundamental condition, an objective basis which cannot be prescinded from, for the building of communion both within the church in the Netherlands and in the relations of your local community with the universal community of the Catholic Church."

" ALARMING"
The pope on January 24 spoke to the Rota of "voices heard at the recent Synod of Bishops concerning the alarming increase of matrimonial cases in church courts." The pope also told the Rota that if declarations of nullity — a court pronouncement that a man and woman were never really married — were to be given easily and hastily, young people would be more likely to enter marriage without due consideration. But bishops and canon lawyers in the United States say that most US, church courts do not grant annulments easily and hastily. The number of cases decided in US church courts rose from 427 in 1969, to 9,291 in 1974, 1 3,362 in 1975, 27,670 in 1978 and 30,583 in 1979.

'Farmer, churchman, f isherman Farming was in Bill Huxley's blood when he was b orn at Northam, where he was educated at the local S tate and high schools.
Mr William Bill Joseph Martin Huxley is a director of Co-operative Bulk Handlikng Ltd and an acolyte at St. Benedict's parish, Applecross. He was chairman of the parish council and in 1975 was appointed to the Diocesan Pastoral Council of which he became a member of the executive committee two years later. Sponsored by the Knights of the Southern Cross and nominated by Archbishop Goody to represent the WA laity, he attended the second national meeting of the Ecumenical Affairs Commission and the fifth summer school in Melbourne in 1978. In the same year he became chairman of the ecumenical committee of the Knights. Last year he was appointed to the Archbishop's ecumenical committee and became chairman of the parish council's ecumenical committee. The deputy -chairman of CBH Ltd since 1963 and a director since 1958, he was senior vice-president of the Farmers' Union and awarded life membership of the union before his retirement in 1972. From 1 951 -77 he was a member of the Agriculture Protection Board. Bill and his wife Nell (nee Burnsyde) have three daughters and a son. They are Mrs Janice Ca xon, of Mogumber; Mrs Judy Cooke, of Wembley Downs; Mrs Gillian Trainor, of Yabbiu; and Robert of Badgingarra farmer now doing a social work course at WAIT.

He is a director of several other companies and has a number of business interests, and from his Applecross home he visits the country fairly regularly. Bill was born and brought up as an Anglican, but as he says: "I married a good Catholic wife, always co-operated fully with the family in the exercise of their religion and finally found myself outnumbered five to one in my own family." He was received into the Church 18 years ago by Father Albert Lynch and confirmed by Archbishop Goody. Some time later, when he became chairman of the parish council at St Benedict's, the unusual situation existed where the parish council chairman, parish priest Father Lynch and his curate Father Rodney Williams were all c onverts. Bill's term on the council has ended but for s ome years he has been the parish treasurer. In addition to having been made an acolyte and a member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council, he considers that there have been a number of other highlights in his years as a Catholic.

Varied interests keep librarian occupied After having taught for a year at the Melville Senior High School, Jennifer Marshall entered what she describes as probably the most enjoyable phase of her teaching career. This was the four years that she spent at the Belmont Senior High School mainly instructing lower -achievement girls in the 1 4-15 age bracket. A lot of them suffered from various disadvantages and the satisfying and rewarding work of helping them with their problems imparted a sense of achievement to both Jennifer and the girls. The change of scene to the Bruce Rock High School also stands high on her list of enjoyable memories. The city-bred Jennifer revelled in the change of lifestyle, the meeting of different people and the visits to farms — all of which was slightly tempered by having to live in a condemned house with facilities that could not be described as mod cons. At Bruce Rock she made the decision to alter course and become a librarian. She got a job at the WA Secondary Teachers' College, as it was then known, and trained as a librarian for three years on a substantially-reduced salary.
In addition to being in the National Trust, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the Peninsular Association at Maylands, Jennifer is a member of the Women's Action Alliance and was on its committee. The alliance believes in equal status for women but promotes family life with the same vigour. Having joined the Right To Life Association because of her dismay at the number of abortions taking place in Australia, she promises to become more active in its affairs next year when she has Computer link finished her studies.

It would be safe to assume that her BA major in history was among the factors that pointed Jennifer towards the WA Historical Society where she was elected to the council and rejoiced in the title of Keeper of the Records. The job hallowed by this distinguished appellation involved her in a lot of work in meticulously recording and tagging individually every artifact presented. They include a fine costume collection, the oldest dress being of late 18th century vintage. Some of the artifacts are presented or lent by the descendants of pioneer WA families. She left the council to resume her studies but she is still on the Society's museum committee and in this capacity helps to look after the artefacts, arrange displays and sometimes conduct tours to places of historical interest.
RE teacher a "first"
The Mt. Lawley Society "New members are always most welcome in the Society," she comments. Jennifer was convenor of the history subcommittee of the Mt. Lawley Society and is still a member of the sub-committee. She says that parts of Mt. Lawley have some of the finest examples of Edwardian domestic architecture in Australia, a lot of which has been bulldozed by developers to make way for housing units. The Mt. Lawley Society, she continues, is not negative in its outlook but urges the preservation of key historical buildings and advocates that new developments should be in harmony with the existing environment of the area. History is not the Mt. Lawley Society's only interest. It concerns itself with matters such as the provision of more open space for playing areas, the solution of traffic and zoning problems and the fostering of a community spirit. It stages displays emphasising current issues and participates in Life Be In It campaigns. It is hopeful that a pamphlet written on Mt. Lawley by one of its members will soon be expanded into a book. 10

Two teachers are engaged in dealing with the migrant youngsters and an instructor from the nearby St Norbert's College teaches the Japanese language at St Joseph's.
There is a full-time music teacher and the subject is taught through all classes. Teaching aids include an overhead projector, a film strip and slide projector, radio cassettes and a good library. An active, co-operative and helpful P and F has contributed financially to the cost of the deep sewerage recently extended to the school, the restoration of the oval — including the installation of a sprinkler system — and the teaching aids that the school enjoys. A swimming pool is shared with St Norbert's College where the children have swimming lessons and they com-
pete in a wide range of sports against the State schools in the area. A visiting tennis professional teaches them that game. The main aim of St. Joseph's is to give its pupils a good Catholic education and they prepare the liturgy for class Masses once a month and attend school Masses regularly, in addition to celebrating certain feast days and other important religious occasions. The teaching staff marked the start of the school year by attending Mass together.

The play No Names No Pack Drill at the Playhouse until March 21 must sound a little out of breath hitting the Perth scene with the announcement that it won the 1979 WA 150th anniversary play writing first prize. Its NSW author Bob Herbert, who in recent years did a stint as a radio officer in Broome, was an AIF and R AA F serviceman in his twenties when the American invasion hit Australian cities after 1942. A look back at those days strikes an echo when today we see more and more American sailors dropping in on Perth. But in those days they seemed to be around forever, or so it seemed; they got all the girls, they had all the money. If there was a drama in the inevitable liaisons that are better forgotten at this distance, No Names . . No Pack Drill prefers just to pluck at the heart strings of fleeting American-Australian romances, with a quick eye for the skullduggery that went on at the side.

A GIFT THAT HE MAKES TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS . . . . IT IS NOT LAWFUL TO USE THIS GIFT IN SUCH AWAY THAT ITS BENEFITS ARE TO THE ADVANTAGE OF ONLY A FEW, WHILE OTHERS, THE VAST MAJORITY ARE EXCLUDED". Pope John Paul II
Enough food is grown to feed all the people on earth. But millions of people still suffer hunger and malnutrition. In many Third World countries there are government agricultural programs designed to improve food production. But too often it is only large land owners who benefit because they can afford to put in irrigation schemes and buy the fertilizers required. Poorer farmers can't compete. Their farms are small - usually no more than 2 acres. They often have to deal through middle men to sell their produce and must borrow money at high interest rates to buy seeds and fertilizers. Many find it impossible to provide for their families' basic needs, Catholic DevelopMent agencies in countries like Bangladesh, Korea and Thailand are helping farmers to form co-operatives. By working together, small farmers can make better use of their lands and have more control over the sale of their produce. Your Project Compassion Lenten offering will enable Australian Catholic Relief to continue support for programs which seek to overcome the misery and degredation of poverty in our world.
