More help •for deaf Injustices and problems suffered by people with hearing disabilities are n ot visible to the general public, a national meeting in Adelaide of the C atholic Association of Deaf and Hearing Impaired was told this week.
Hearing aids and batteries are not covered by medical funds, and rebates cannot be c laimed. Representatives from all states were urged to draw the attention of Australians to this injustice, and to r espond to the gospel call of justice for everyone.

AUDIO LOOPS IN CHURCHES
Father Paul Pitzen OSM of Joondanna, WA chaplain for people with hearing disabilities, was chairman of the Adelaide meeting. "I am pleased to report that a

they may worship successfully," said Father Pitzen. Father Pitzen hopes that many churches in Australia would follow this lead in the International Year of the Disabled. The national association is also working toward the development of a set of uniform religious signs. A book issued by Father Brendan Harnett of South Australia will be used by a Queensland subcommittee to produce a religious signs dictionary.
The meeting also discussed the problem of teaching religion to deaf people, especially the communication of abstract concepts. People in the Church who do not have a hearing disability tend to play down such difficulties and its implications for so many people in the church. The West Australian Catholic Association For The Deaf hopes to survey the level of understanding of religious concepts by the average deaf person,

New charismatic body acceptance
Prayer Groups, Communities and Convent Communities have been given official recognition by the Australian National Charismatic Movement as valid expressions of the Charismatic Renewal. The national service committee of the Charismatic Renewal which meets several times a year, made the endorsement at its meeting in Sydney earlier this month. A ttending the meeting from WA w as Mr Kevin Horgan, who has been a WA delegate for the past t hree years. New state delegates were welcomed from South Aust ralia (Bill Smith) and Tasmania ( Sister Martha Murphy). Charismatic Renewal personalItY,. Brian Smith of Brisbane, r esigned from his position as Queensland delegate, and was nominated to be a national cornmittee representative for the coyenant communities, This means that all three expressions of renewal-prayer groups, communities and covenant cornmunities are all represented on t he Australian National Committee for Charismatic Renewal. The Sydney meeting marked the first time they had received this o fficial national recognition. Considerable time was spent examining replies to a questionnaire sent out late in 1980. Twenty groups in WA received copies of the questions, The national service committee e xpressed its understanding of the replies as follows:
DELEGATES FROM S TATES CHANGE
I. The national service committee is a body of experienced leaders in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal who have been instrumental in capturing the vision of the Lord for this country for a number of years. They deem it essential to remain open vessels to receive and speak the ongoing word of the Lord. Therefore they see their role to be prophetic as well as administrative. 2. A group to meet at least twice yearly to overview the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church noting its vision and direction. 3. To guide, inspire and encourage the local State initiatives. 4. To promote proper communication between States and the National Service Committee so that the overview national vision can be shared. 5. A group to decide issues affecting national situations, e.g. National General and Leaders' Conferences, selecting speakers, formats of conferences and international developments. We would encourage the use of Australian s eakers.
6. Being a contact point with liaison Bishops. 7. To be a representative group to relate to Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church internationally, to international leaders in all traditions, and to the International Communication Office. 8. Where problem situations arise, assistance can be initiated and encouragement given to weak and unsupported areas. 9. To call Catholics to a greater a wareness of their authentic traditional Catholic spirituality and in particular, to a deeper awareness in participation in the Sacramental life of the Church.
The movement is now looking forward to the international leaders' conference which will be held in Rome in May and which will be addressed by Pope John Paul II. Mr Kevin Horgan, of Perth, and his wife Sue will be among the five A ustralian delegates invited to attend the Rome conference. They will leave next Monday and will be away five weeks.

V ATICAN CITY (NC) — St Francis of Assisi is a good model for papal diplomats to follow, Pope John Paul II told students training for the Vatican diplomatic corps. "Indeed, St. Francis is a luminous example for the ministry you are called to," the pope said. "His desire to be a man of the Gospel, his identification with Christ, his impassioned love, without reservation or criticism, of the church, his witness of radical poverty, his gentleness as a man of universal brotherhood and peace — aren't these attitudes and values that are congenial to the nature and role of the pontifical representative?" asked the pope.

esurrecti
Pastors and laity alike in the Catholic Church are increasingly alarmed at the treatment being meted out to the New Testament accounts of the Resurrection of Our Lord. Hans Kung disposes of stories of the empty t omb as irrelevant: they are "legendary e laborations of the message of the Resurrection", and alone "cannot provide any proof of the Resurrection or justify any hope of the Resurrection". The appearances of Christ are label led "confirmatory experiences". Individual n arratives of the Easter message "may well have a largely l egendary character" proclaiming that the C rucified One still lives on and that His cause is identical with God's. For Kung, "Not only the empty tomb but also the appearances a re of secondary i mportance" compared with the certainty of Jesus' R esurrection. The R esurrection stories in the Gospels contain "pious legends, full of i nconsistencies". ( "On Being a Christian", CV). In "Catholicism", Richard McBrien writes that the first Christians "proclaimed" a bodily resurrection in the sense that they did not think that Jesus' body had corrupted in the tomb". The disciples "were convinced that they had indeed seen him", but there was no empirical evidence. (3, X II) The Apostles regarded the "appearances" as historical, but "by modern scientific standards the Resurrection is not historical".
provide us with a hermeneusis of the Resurrertion of Jesus -- an attempt to interpret the events, as meaningful for us today. In the process it becomes obvious that the New Testament post-Resurrection appearances of Christ are translated as experiences, recollections, illuminations; they are not bodily appearances. In fact, it sounds like another variation of the

We need to realise that what we actually have is an inversion of priority and responsibility. It is science that has to accommodate itself to the fact that the New Testament accounts are unshakably credible, not vice versa. What a pot pourri. Yet pastors of souls have to contend with the fact that books dealing favorably with the above have even been catalogued in lists of recommended reading for schools.
'It seems to me that some in the Church hope that the present situation will simply fade away; others invalidly see a parallel between what is happening to the Resurrection narratives and the literary forms in Genesis. It is necessary to r e -affirm the Catholic Church's traditional Resurrection teaching with clarity, bearing in mind also the grave implications some theories could hold for the doctrines of the Eucharist and the Virgin Birth.'
By Father TERENCE J. PURCELL, PP, BD, (Lond.), St. Benedict's Parish, Broadway, writing in The Catholic Weekly, Sydney.

-Mr Geoffrey James (Geoff) Worner is an administrative o fficer at the State Energy Commission. B orn in Perth in 1922, he started his education at a little o ne -teacher school at Belka in the eastern wheatbelt and c ontinued it at various convents including Sacred Heart Primary School, Highgate, before completing it at Aquinas C ollege. He was an outstanding athlete at school, where he also played cricket for the first XI and football for the first XVIII, before going on to win a number of State athletic championships and representing WA. He joined the old Electricity and Gas Department of the Perth City Council in 1939 on leaving school and, except for 2 / war years in the AIF, he has had 41 years' service with 41 the State Energy Commission and its predecessors. He and his wife Daphne (nee Dudley), who are members of the Wembley parish of Our Lady of Victories, have four girls (including twin daughters) and two sons ranging in age from 34 to 16. For ten years he was president of the Old Aquinians' A ssociation of which he is a life member.

In his first year in the redand-black livery he sprinted with his great friend Ma urie Bridgwood, later to gain fame a s a Claremont footballer, and won the 300 yards and 100 yards at the interschool sports. The following year at the inters he went 'through the under 16 programme undefeated. He set a new record for the 90 yards hurdles which still stands because the event is no longer run, deadheated in the 100 yards with David Carew-Reid of Guildford Grammar School, and won the 880 yards and the 440 yards in Australasian schoolboy record time.

"The virtue of purity is at the service of wisdom, and
Continuing his series of talks on the biblical meaning of human sexuality, the pontiff said that in St. Paul's theology "it is the Holy Spirit's gift of piety that makes U5 particularly aware of the dignity of our bodies." "Piety" in its primtive sense meant "respect for the s tructures of life" and had a deeper and broader meaning than the devotional sense often attached to it. The pope told the group of more than 9,000 visitors that purity, "reinforced by the gift of piety" from the Holy Spirit, brought about "the fullness of the dignity of interpersonal relationships." Through this, he said, "God is glorified in the body." The pope said that St. Paul's teaching on purity also
wisdom predisposes us to accept the gift of purity that comes from God." The papal talk was another chapter in Pope John Paul's long effort, begun in September, 1979, to present a positive Chrisitan theology of the body and human sexuality. This positive, personalist view of the meaning of the. body, he has been arguing, is the basis of the Christian prohibitions against misuse of sexuality. Misuse of sexuality, he has been saying, is a fundamental attack on the dignity of the human person, and by reducing a person to a sex object it destroys the true meaning of interpersonal relations.
The 1937 inters were a memorable occasion because on the same day the Scotch College runner, the late Don Barrett -Hill, broke the Australasian schoolboy records for the open 880 yards and mile. The latter time stood until it was shattered by Herb Elliott who was being coached by Geoff at that stage. Geoff went on to amateur athletics and won every State junior and senior championship up to 440 yards as well as representing WA in national championships. The late Brother Redmond persuaded Geoff to coach the Aquinas College athletic team, and he continued in this role for 25 years despite attempts to pull out that were thwarted by "Reddy's" charisma. The most notable of the athletes to pass through his hands at Aquinas was undoubtedly Herb Elliott, although Geoff avers that not far behind him in those days were boys such as Herb's brother Laurie, Bill de Gruchy and Frank Gobbart. Herb first came to notice by winning a 440 yards event, went on to break Don Barrett-Hill's inters mile record that many thought would stand for all time, and eventually became the world's greatest miler. Geoff's coaching was not confined to Aquinas. When their coach was away for six weeks, he was mentor of Dixie Willis who won the Australian 880, yards women's championship and represented her country at the Rome Olympics. Another of his charges was Joyce Bennett, an Australian champion sprinter. Geoff recalls with delight the nervewracking secret scheming that went on in connection with Herb Elliott's appearance on the national television show This Is Your Life. In order to achieve complete surprise on the big night, all the preparations had to be kept hidden from Herb — including the formidable task of moving his wife and sizeable family surreptitiously to Sydney where the show was shot. Herb was inveigled to Sydney on the pretext of attending an important dinner, but the best-laid plans of mice and men were thrown into dis-
Today's People A weekly feature By BOB BOYLE array when he announced his intention of flying home immediately after the function — which was 24 hours too early. A hasty white lie had to be arranged with the airline to tell him that there was no seat available on the plane. Herb was told that he was going to appear on This Is Your Life, but he had no idea of who was going to confront him on camera until the carefully-organised guests emerged from their hiding places behind various studio sets. They included Brother Murphy, his A quinas principal; Melbourne Olympics mile winner Ron Delaney from Ireland with whom Herb had had many a stirring tussle; great New Zealand miler Peter Snell flown back specially from the United States; long-time rival Mery Lincoln brought up from Melbourne; and old coach Geoff with his wife Daphne. Marlene Matthews and Betty Cuthbert were among the guests at the party afterwards. Herb was stunned with surprise notably by the presence of his children. Geoff had a long interest in the Catholic youth movement, initially with a body called the Subiaco Catholic Young Men's Society which eventually became a branch of the YCW. The Subiaco group fielded a team in the WA Amateur Athletic Association's competitions with considerable success. Notable contributors were the Ryan brothers and coach Gerry Hogan. Geoff was secretary and later a life member of the athletics club and its representative on the council of the W AAAA. For 27 years he has been a parttime writer on athletics and football for The Sunday Times.
"Polly's" handball "A major reason for the great changes that have taken place in football, was the perfection to which the art of handball was brought by Graham ("Polly") Farmer which opened the game up and made it much quicker-flowing," said Geoff. "Skills such as long drop-kicking and stab-passing have faded, but been replaced to some extent by the development of the drop-punt. "Better facilities and more emphasis on training have improved athletics immeasurably. "But," Geoff concluded, "running is now not nearly the fun it was when we competed together, Bob." That may be so, but his lowly second string in 880 yards events has memories of G. Worner's figure getting smaller in the distance with every yard of that race.

The roistering early days of Francis is scarcely noted since this movie's intent was to cover just a few vital phases of Francis' life. Yet there are sufficient contransts in the quick red-coated ride to war and the subsequent white haze of the sickroom where violent and material urges were removed and the transformation of characters began. Zeffirelli said of his m asterpiece: "In Brother Sun, Sister Moon,Ihave only dealt with the three years of Francis' greatest decisions, when he was between the ages of 19 and 22; the rest I didn't touch. "Graham Faulkner I found in an English drama school and I've never used other than English actors for the leads in my film - for the good or the bad. "Francis appears naked, but he did for a great ideal. "It was to establish in front of everybody, including his parents, that he was giving up everything . . . he gave back to his family the name and even the clothes, everything. "He went into the wilderness like a sparrow and his nobility as a beggar was something that I wanted to highlight. "I think I achieved that aim in the scene

where Clare brings a loaf of bread to him and his followers as they stand unfretful in a downpour of rain." Clare, played marvellously by Judi Bowker, has a very touching scene where she presents herself to him to become one of his followers. T he shearing of Clare's long tresses when she joins the future Franciscans is a ritual daringly, but rewardingly, followed to a cut to newly cropped sheep, and repeatedly nature is evoked and extolled. A profusion of poppies, or a great field of wheat riffled by the wind is beautifully captured on camera. Contrasts abound in this movie - the vastness of biting snow is replaced by the amber glow of firelight, the , shell of the church of St Damien is given substance by the labours of St Francis and his small band, to be despoiled by Assissi's frightened bishop. (John Sharp). Ultimately there is the greatest contrast of all when the humble band of God's followers are warily presented into the opulent splendour of the presence of Pope Innocent III. (Alec Guiness) and his satellites. The pope gesticulates with stately ostentation, but at last bows and kisses Francis' foot.

Hip slapping, toe tapping, good time The kernel of Christian life J esus Christ yesterday and to-day, the alpha and the omega; he is risen in 1981. As we look around the world to-day, we notice f ew signs of the presence of the risen Lord. The reason is simple, because only a minority of people really believe in His risen presence. As you clock on at w ork on Tuesday morning, as you sit in the lecture halls of our education institutions, as you walk down your street or as you look around you in the hotels and discos, how many of the people that you see, would you say are Christians? For how many does it matter that Christ is risen to-day? It is this personal belief in the presence of the risen Lord that distinguishes Christian from nonChristian. The message of His R esurrection is not only echoed from grand c athedrals and little churches down country lanes, but ought to be proclaimed by every
believing person at work and at play. On Easter Sunday morning in my family home the dining room t able was always colourfully decorated. My mother placed a sugar or paper lamb (the symbol of the risen Lord) in the centre of a shallow dish containing a young crop of wheat. Beautifully coloured and painted hard boiled eggs, and a variety of food surrounded the symbolic lamb. A selection of the food had been blessed by the local parish priest on Holy Saturday, and a hard boiled egg was shared by the members of the family. The greeting to all whom one met that day was: Christ is Risen, alleluia, t o which the other r esponded: Indeed! He is risen alleluia. Easter Sunday is the centre and kernel of a Christian's life. The week proceeding it is called holy because we recall solemn events in the mystery of our redemption.

Hello, boys and girls. I think Captain Bob has already told you whoIam, but just in case you don't know — I'm Nurse Kerry. I'll be taking over Captain Bob's job at The Record while he is on holidays. If any of you want to write and ask questions that's alright. My job is to tell you who wins the competitions, answer your letters and pass-on the Captain's messages to you. So I better get on with it. Congratulations, Daniella Jones, of Merredin, you have won the Find the Place puzzle. Daniella correctly identified 16 countries and towns, and she was the only one that picked up a spelling mistake. Yes, Daniella, Merredin was wrongly spelt. I'm also going to send six year old Ben Ralph from Nedlands a packet of Smarties for his exciting and colourful entry. Ben has one of the best imaginations that this nurse has come across.

But the first man to reach the South Pole was the Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, who planted his country's flag there on December 14, 191 1. A British team led by Scott arrived about a month later. But Scott and his companions died in the cold on their return. The development of aircraft speeded the exploration of Antarctica. In 1929 Admiral Richard E. Byrd became the first man to fly over the South Pole. In 1959 an agreement was signed by 12 nations ensuring the use of Antarctica for peaceful purposes only. Well that's all I know about Antarctica and I'm sure the boys and girls will find it interesting. Say hello to all my friends in Perth and make sure and tell all the boys and girls to keep writing in. Cheerio, Captain Bob.

THIS WEEK: Santa Clara,Bentley
Classes at Santa Clara, Bentley, run in single stream for the 200 pupils f rom pre-school to Year seven under the direction o f principal, Sister Dolores. The children come mainly f rom the Bentley area with s ome from St James and VVilson. . In addition to Australians they include Italians, Burmese and Indians
and now there are a family of Vietnamese and Lebanese. The ethnic mix extends to the staff which numbers in its ranks Scottish, Italian, Irish, Indian and Sri Lankan and a past pupil, Miss Josephine Pires, was a sister of Father Pires. The school was founded by the Sisters of Mercy and taken over by the Dominicans. In addition to Sister Dolores, there is one other Dominican nun on the teaching staff of nine, which works in eight classrooms and a library. Parents teach optional subjects such as cooking, macrame, sewing, crochet, woodwork and pottery.
An excellent P and F has been responsible for building up the library and providing teaching aids like copying machines, a range of projectors and mathematics equipment for the new syllabus.
The teacher must win respect by professional competence, sincerity of heart, concern for justice and fidelity to his or her word. The aim is to cultivate the intellectual heritage won by past generations The school policy hinges on the fact in the Gospel spirit of freedom and that the apostolic vocation derives charity. from Christ and His mission, and the Each grade takes it in turn to hold a school must share its work with the weekly class Mass, the liturgy for families of the pupils. which is prepared by the children of Each teacher must be aware of the the class, and there is a school Mass at mission of the Church to reveal, cher- the start of each term. ish and ennoble all that is true, good The parish priest has always been a and beautiful in the human communmember of the school family. ity.

STILL CHAMPS A quinian Junior School tennis team has won the Academy Plate, in a tournament opened to all primary schools in the metropolitan area. Although the school has been entering the competition for four years it is the first time that it has been victorious. Last year Aquinas reached the semifinals. The winning quartet was, in order of ranking, Timothy Scott (11), John Prichard (12), Mark Prendiville (11), and Christopher Robinson (11). All the boys play pennant grade tennis in outside clubs. There is cause for a double celebration, because t wo Aquinian teams reached the semi-finals. However, due to the order of the draws, the two teams had to play each other, which meant that only one team reached the finals. Dalkeith Primary School, who have the numbers 3 and five junior state seeds playing for them, came runners-up. Aquinas will enter the tournament next year, and they hope to be as successful as they were this year. Showing his winning forehand drive style is Tim Scott. Looking on are fellow team members (I to r) Mark Prendiville, Chris Robinson and John Prichard.
