Church hospita must teach!
The answer to the question: Why have Catholic teaching hospitals? is similar to the question: Why have Catholic schools? Archbishop Goody said at the blessing of the new St John of God Hospital, Subiaco.
"Christianity is not, or at least it shouldn't be, an optional, part time occupation like the membership of a club for the passing of a few sociable moments each week." he said. It is a way of life, a way of thinking, a way which requires the support of home, school, professional training if it is to remain the support of our society and culture as it has been for so long and as we wish it to continue in the future. "The Catholic Church insists that there is a Christian teaching to be taught and learned; a Christian morality to be learned and acted upon, if we are to show ourselves sincere and convinced in our Christian principles. "Hence we insist so strongly on Christian schools and Catholic o rientated teaching hospitals.
"Some others won't agree of course, but thank God we live in a society where dissent from a single party line is not merely tolerated, but given practical freedom of expression. " Archbishop Goody called the new building an extremely courageous programme of cooperation between Church and State, between the Government and the Sisters of St John of God, between public planing and private enterprise which, because of its magnitude, is unlikely to be frequently repeated." He continued: "Until comparatively recent times the 'State' kept out of social services, taxation

Stating that all life comes from God — the source of everything that is positive — he continued: "It is not permitted to any private individual to take the life of any innocent human being. " Abortion of a live human embryo no matter how soon after fertilisation is destroying a particular and individual human life just as truly as killing an infant shortly after birth, running over an adult on the highway or administering a lethal does to an aged or unwanted person.

A striking feature in the foyer of the new St John of God Hospital, Subiaco is a rather unusual treatment of St John of God by Wembley sculptor Mr Phil Somers. St John of God, founder of the St John of God Brothers and patron of the order of St John of God Sisters founded in Wexford, Ireland in 1870, lived from 1495-1550.
He stirred the consciences of his contemporaries not only by his zeal for the sick, but also by his appearance and lifestyle which was far from the conventional image of a saint. For his interpretation Mr Somers has relied on an eye witness account of Saint John of God. "He was barefooted both in

Faith a vital aid in caring for the sick The long association of the Christian faith with the care of the sick preserves the proper relationship between straight medicine, psychology and the spiritual order, Archbishop Goody said in his address. A rchbishop Goody told the nearly 1000 official guests that he had already been a patient in the new hospital.

Call to disarm ST LOUIS (NC) — A strong national defense must be maintained as "the lesser of various evils," according to Bishop John J. O'Connor, vicar general of the U.S. Military Vicariate and a member of the U.S. bishops' new ad hoc committee on war and peace. Bishop O'Connor said he makes a distinction between the question of nuclear superiority, which he called "a highly technical issue," and the nuclear arms race.
Father Charles Tory, the new parish priest of Lockridge, outside the Good Shepherd church hall in Arbon Way. The presbytery is next door, and the telephone number is 279 8119.
Lockridge made a new parish The new Lockridge parish priest, Father Charles Tory, says he already has an affinity with his new area. His parents came from nearby Bayswater and Maylands, and his family home is in Bedford.

"Certainly I would agree with any bishops or any others who expressed their abhorrence and alarm over the continued stockpiling of nuclear weapons, the potential of a nuclear holocaust and the madness of an arms race which not only continues to imperil peace, but certainly uses tremendous resources that could be used so much more beneficially," Bishop O'Connor said. In March, a group of 17 bishops appealed for intensified dialogue and debate within the church on nuclear arms and military aid to "governments that foster injustice in the name of anti-communism." The appeal advocated careful consideration of "the possibility of unilateral disarmament." Bishop O'Connor said he "would agree with the Holy Father and with all bishops" that it is "absolutely imperative that w come up with alternatives to war very, very soon." However, he warned: "My current conviction is that unilateral disarmament on the part of the US could plunge the world into absolute horror."

Sir, Reading your article New Pinjarra Era (The Record April 9)I recall that I was privileged to know personally many of the fine priests mentioned — young priests who came from Ireland, the land from which stemmed many great missioners of the Faith. Father John Fahey, later my parish priest when I moved to Cottesloe, was priest and friend of ours and all the Catholic and nonCatholic families of the Murrray District.
He called his horse Fisher because like the Prime Minister of Australia at that time "he had a heavy load to carry on his back." Father Fahey would ride Fisher for miles through the trackless jarrah forrest around Dwellingup looking for the sleeper-cutters in their camps. If they were away from camp he would listen for the ring of an axe or the sound of a cross-cut saw to seek them out. Catholic or Protestant, the hand of friend-
Father Dominic Nguyen Ngoc De (pictured) has come to Perth as chaplain to the Vietnamese community. For the present he will continue to live at the Graylands Migrant Centre where he says Mass in Vietnamese each Sunday at 9.30 am. His flock in Perth is believed to consist of at least 150 Catholic Vietnamese families. Father Dominic can be contacted by way of the Centrecare Catholic Immigration Office, Victoria Square, phone 325 6644. Father Dominic was ordained for the diocese of Dalat in 1972. He said that recent moves by the Vietnamese government to shift his parish congregation into a new economic zone meant that he no longer had any parishioners. He was put in gaol four times and authorities were looking for an opportunity to gaol him again when he put his plight to his bishop. Father Dominic said that his bishop's reply was silence, but he interpreted that as his tacit permission to take whatever course he- saw fit. In March 1980 he arrived in Kampuchea, later moving to Thailand from where he has come to Australia after spending many months under cover in refugee camps. Accompanying him to Australia was his youngest brother. His mother and five of her surviving children are still in Vietnam.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (NC) — The G ospel, the whole Gospel and nothing but t he Gospel . T hat's what charismatic leader Ralph Martin says Christians need but d on't always get from their churches. Martin, an international ly known l eader in the Cathol ic charismatic r enewal, told six bishops, about 130 priests and more than 2,000 lay people and Religious in P rovidence that " God's word is being undermined a mong his people". Speaking to overflow crowds April 10 and 11, Martin declared that: • Jesus' role as savior and lord is being obscured through direct denial, vague presentation of the Gospel and silence. • Some theologians are confusing Catholics with misrepresentations of church teaching on human sexuality. • Many Christians have lost their faith in "the absolute claim of Jesus Christ to be savior and lord of .all humanity."
Preaching only the Gospel • Catholics have been paying little heed to the traditional belief of their church in the s econd coming of Christ. • "False optimism" blinds Christians to God's judgment against the sins of society and to false teaching in the church. Martin, who returned to the United States last fall after spending four years in Belgium working in the charismatic renewal with Cardinal Leo Jozef Suenens, retired archbishop of Malines-Brussels, emphasized the need for Catholics and other Christians to proclaim Jesus as savior of the entire world. Some leaders in the charismatic renewal see Martin's talks, which have now been offered in at least eight American cities, as a turning point in the charismatic movement. Martin in his talks was sharply critical of Catholic and Protestant writers and theolo-
gians who, he said, deny or obscure the truth about Jesus or who distort official church teaching. As an example he charged that one editorial in a Catholic m agazine glorified bisexuality and that another magazine had urged disenchanted Catholics to "reinterpret Catholic doctrines for themselves rather than leave the Church because they disagree". He said that the Catholic theologians who several years ago authored a book on human sexuality departed from Catholic doctrine by offering new criteria for judging the morality of sexual acts outside of marriage. He also criticised missionaries who said they had given up bringing people to Jesus Christ in order to work for peace and justice. Peace and justice are fine things to work for, Martin said, "but that's not the primary mission of the Church".
At a preliminary meeting with Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, papal secretary of state, the associaton got concessions to five of the workers' demands, including greater benefits for workers' dependents and • A wage system "which the priority hiring of takes into account profes- dependents to fill empty sionalism and responsibil- Vatican posts. ity in addition to the real "I understand perfectly cost of living."

fied a young lawyer should be able to obtain employment, if not in private practice then in a government department or in commerce.
The congratulations extended to Sir John for having been the first Catholic to become a judge of the Supreme Court of Western Australia met with a smile and a shake of the head: There had, he said, been one other.
In his younger days Sir John was a keen oarsman and rugby player. Later he tried his hand at golf but found that he did not have the time to excel at it. He is now vice-president of the Dalkeith Bowling Club and plays each weekend in its fourth division pennant team. He considers that everybody should engage in some form of sport as long as he is capable of doing so. He was also an elected member of the Barristers' Board from 1960 to 1969 and, after his elevation to the Bench, Chairman of the Parole Board from 1969 to 1975. He takes pride in the fact that his father was president of the Law Society between 1930 and 1935.
He referred to Mr Justice Frederick Wi lliam M oorhead, who had been A ttorney-General for a month in the short-lived M organs Government in 1901, was appointed a judge of the Supreme C ourt in April, 1902, and died in November of the same year.
Shortly after his admission to the Bar in 1934, Sir John became the honorary solicitor to the Order of St John with which he has continued to maintain a close association.
Demanding
He is buried in the Catholic p ortion of the Karrakatta C emetery. In fact, Sir John discovered his grave in a somewhat di lapidated condition and Prevai led on the Law Society to restore it.
He is a knight of the order and since 1 973 has been the Lieutenant to the Knight Commander — a position occupied by the Governor of the State. Looking back over his years at the Supreme Court, Sir John, while acknowledging that judicial work was very demanding, claimed that it possessed such variety that it was seldom dull. Contrary to general opinion, however, civil cases frequently held much more interest -- particularly for the judge — than criminal trials which attracted considerably more publicity. In spite of the diversity of work, he had found that circuit work which took him out of the city three or four times a year provided a welcome change from his normal routine. As to the work of the Court, Sir John said that the establishment in recent years of the District Court and the Family Court had been instrumental in relieving the Supreme Court of a number of types of proceedings which previously had been its responsibility.
Modesty Sir John's disclaimer to being the first Catholic Supreme Court judge is typical of his modesty and exemplifies one reason why he and his family have for many years been held in such high esteem both in the legal profession and in the c ommunity. The mantle of probity and honour w orn with distinction by Michael Lavan descended easily on the s houlders of his son. As a legal practitioner he engaged in general rather than specialised Practice. As counsel he appeared regularly before the various courts, but declined to appear in the divorce J urisdiction. .Among the milestones of his steady rise in his profession was his membership for a number of years of the . Council of the Law Society of which he was president from 1964 to 1966.

His associates, and particularly Vernon Presley, are dealing with quite another matter - somebody has threatened to a ssassinate Presley during the performance. Elvis is alone in his hotel suite contemplating the enormous task in front of him and his thoughts are broken by the entrance of one person who has been his inspiration for the past ten years; his lovely wife Priscilla. After she kisses him for good luck he realises, that though they used to be very much in love, they are drifting apart.

Meditation (6 WN, Monday to Saturday, 1 1. 10 pm) is a series of readings from a new t ranslation by John Rooney. The author of the Imitation, Thomas a Kempis, was born at Kempen in either 1379 or 1380 AD. Ordained priest in 1413, Thomas lived a quiet life of study and meditation. He wrote several other devotional books besides the Imitation.
Appealathon is more than just another television production. It is a mammoth investment of time, knowledge and talent that will provide funds crucial to the expansion of many charities. The Paraplegic-Quadriplegic Association and the Civilian Maimed and Limbless Association, two amalgamated associations which represent the largest organisation catering for the disabled in Western Australia, are major recipients. The Paraplegic-Quadriplegic Association provides accommodation, therapy, aids and information services for the disabled. The Civilian Maimed and Limbless Association provides a service for up to 3,000 handicapped by supplying physical aids such as artificial limbs, to give its members greater independence and mobility. It also helps not only the physically handicapped but also their families and friends to adjust and cope There are approximately 1,500 intellectually handicapped adults and children whose care and welfare are catered for directly through the Slow Learning Children's Group services.
Australian youngster, Sally Boyden, made her A merican movie debut in Channel Nine's Saturday movie Lassie - The New Beginning at 7.40 pm. H er role as the r enowned dog's mistress posed a problem for the y oung star of Young Talent Time - she didn't want to become known as a modern day Elizabeth Taylor. E lizabeth Taylor appeared in the original Lassie movie Lassie Come Home and starred in a sequel, The Courage of Lassie. The temptation to compare her performance with Sally's is going to be too great for many people to resist.
He has made wide use of his knowledge of how a Dutchman would write Latin to search out the meaning of phrases that have puzzled previous translators. He expects pedants to be horrified by some of his decisions about reordering the clauses of the original, and claims that a proper English translation will reflect the lack of polish of the original Latin.

Emphasis is placed on social skills and training in the group's facilities, to enable the intellectually handicapped to reach their individual levels of self-help and independence. Over the years, funds from Appealathon have helped establish two hostels, and provide extensions to another, improve and expand an activity school, and build, equip and maintain two new training centres. Further projects already on the drawing board depend upon the success of this year's Appealathon. The WA Society for Crippled Children cares for about 90 children and young adults, suffering from various physical disabilities, such as muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and other paraplegic conditions as a result of motor vehicle accident and other traumas. As a result of today's improved medical techniques, the young handicapped person has more chance of leading a fuller life, but needs training and treatment to achieve this goal. The new R ocky Bay Village complex in Mosman Park, gives people the opportunity to e xpand their abilities in work and sport. The success of Appealathon is redirected onto the community via these charities.

Peg emphasises that her career in nursing has enabled her to deepen her own faith by witnessing the faith and c ourage of her patients. "Sharing the reality of the suffering endured by these people and feeling their courage in face of it is a revelation," she says.

Sister Margaret (Peg) Waddell (nee Keogh) was born at Kalgoorlie, educated by the Sisters of St John of God there and did her nursing training at the Kalgoorlie District Hospital. Early in 1943 she married Kalgoorlie man Arch Waddell and they spent six years in NSW, where three of their 10 children were born, while Arch studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. He later served in the Army for 25 years as a musician and recently retired after five years as a music teacher at John XXIII College. Peg was the pioneer sister in charge of Ward 10 at the Royal Perth (Rehabilitation) Hospital at Shenton Park, where she enhanced her high reputation in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism over the 11 years she spent there as part of her 161/2 years in this field. After her retirement from that position early this year she Joined the WA Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation and still spends a lot of time at her old Ward 10. The Waddells have five daughters and five sons ranging in age from 36 to 22 and are members of the Hamersley parish. The responsibilities of Mrs Waddell's new field of endeavour with the WA Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation (WAARF) include the establishment of programmes of education in these diseases in the metropolitan and country areas.

Board to study the treatment of arthritis a nd rheumatism in the United Kingdom a nd in 1979 the WA G overnment's Women's Fel lowship Award which took her on a study tour of the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. S peaking of the p eople who have staffed Ward 10, she praises their dedication and has a special word for the character of her patients whom she feels have shown great fortitude at all times.
One of her achievements has been the organisation of the now widely -known Ward 10 fete. In addition to its financial success in having r aised more than $ 40,000 in seven years, it has done w onders for the patients because Peg h as always made them feel that it is their fete. Peg was a leading f igure in the organisation of WAARF and n o better person c ould have been selected for her present role.
Playing and winning the prayer game
Prayer can be compared to a game of golf, Cistercian, Fr Michael Casey, said in Adelaide last week. "The aims of golf, the theory of it, are easily understood," he said. "It's simply a matter of transferring the ball from the tee to the hole. "But the actual game depends largely on being able to play the ball where it lands.
according to some sort of theory you have. "You choose 3 our club according to the position of the ball."
"To do this you have to cart around different clubs on your back — or pay someone else to carry them on his back. "You don't use these clubs in sequence
Fr Casey said it is important that people do not get stuck on a particular way of praying, or a particular method.
Important
"We should be open to the transforma-
tions, the changes, the developments in our lives, and we should react creatively to them, with a variety of means. "We need to develop a whole philosophy of life which supports prayer. "We need to develop fundamental beliefs and values with which prayer is at home. "We should be able to cope with the 'negative' experiences —
such as suffering and pain — as a part of the human pattern of life. "This pattern of life will certainly be i ntensified and enriched in the person who prays." Fr Casey was in Adelaide to lead a number of classes for the Theology Institute and the Good Samaritan Sisters. He also gave a public session on discernment in prayer at Loreto.

"Unemployment affects "By coming together as not just YCW members, oung Christian workers but everyone in society we have an opportunity to who does not have a job." share our aspirations and said Kate.
Many Eucharistic C ongress inquiries Since the article about the International Eucharistic C ongress a number of young people have made enquiries about joining the Perth party of youth who will be travelling to Lourdes. The travellers include Fathers John Jegorow and Steve Truscott; Brian Limbourn, Frances Sutherland, Bernadette Clare, Jo-Anne Malkovic and Carmel Bob. All those attending the congress will be official delegates of their local church. The cost of the fares will be approximately $1,500. C amp facilities will accommodate thousands of youth from all over the w orld at the congress. This has been done to keep costs at a minimum.
The party travelling from Perth will spend about three weeks touring the continent before returning home. Final travel arrangements are at present being negotiated. Any young p erson, interested in attending the Eucharistic Congress should contact Father John on 325 4055 soon.
Seven years ago I was made aware of how little attention we give to the disabled when the parish community OfJohn XXIII in South Australia ensured that both a toilet and ramp facilities were built for people in wheel chairs in the then proposed Parish centre. The community was very aware of the need for such facilities because of the presence of a young man, Michael Quigley, at Mass every Sunday in a wheel chair. In my own home parish of Bassendean I recall the struggle that parishioners had in bringing in an older man in his wheel chair. His entrance into the church could not be made with ease and, in fact, required two side doors being opened especially for the occasion. We are and have been an inconsiderate lot towards the disabled. We build stairs when ramps are needed. Only recently have some of our pedestrian crossings been adapted to those with seeing disabilities. The biggest thing made clear for me — in all literature about this year of the disabled — is the distinction between the meaning of "disabled" and "handicapped". There a re many people in wheel chairs whom we can see. There are the blind, partly blind, and deaf who are less obvious. We don't really see them, because we so often have "handicapped- them by not making special provision for them.
YOUTH FORUM
There is another minority group in our world whom we do not see. I am alarmed at the growing attitude of intolerance towards those disabled children who are yet to be born. I have heard young people ask "Isn't it better to have an abortion rather than bring an unhealthy, sick a nd disabled person into the world?" l am afraid that our youth are continually exposed to pressures (based on feeling and sentiment) which sway people to take the easy humanistic and materialistic attitude in favour of abortion as the easy solution I am glad that the International Year of the Disabled has sensitised me, and I hope that it will alert all of us to the needs of the disabled, whether we can see them, here and now, or do not. Jesus came among us and initiated more than just a year for the disabled. He came announcing a new era, a new covenant, a new beginning especial ly for those needing the doctor. He healed our bodies and he bound hearts that were broken.

MARRIAGE MORALITY
Oscar Wilde might be the first to be surprised that his final play, of 1895, is still wearing remarkably well in the Octagon Theatre's presentation of The Importance of Being Earnest. There may have been a few of them and their population small but the stately homes of England and their stately people have been a goldmine for people parodying their accents and manners. Wilde wrote before generations would devour the Bertie Wooster doings that poured off the pen of P.G. Wodehouse. Whether anyone really lived or spoke like this amazing breed or not, fools are tempted on to the stage over confident in their ability bring off successfully the wit and poise of Wilde's deceptively simple comedy. Raymond Omodei has gone for a pointedly stately pace and presentation, and a brace of well known local players do rather well maintaining this sostenuto image right through to the end without boring the audience to tears.

St Dominics crushed
The feature of last week's pennants were the easy wins in A Grade. Dianella beat St Benedicts 9-3, and St Dianella 2 6-59 defeated Marys 1 defeated St Attadale 6-55 Dominics also 9-3. St St Benedicts 6-51 defeated Dianella 1 6-50 Marys 2 had the bye..
St Marys teams continue to dominate in this division, and hold the top two positions. In the B Grade there was one runaway win and two cliff hangers. Shenton Park crushed St Dominics 1 1-1, and in a real tough 0, match Dianella 2 beat Attadale by only 4 games. However in the other match St Benedicts beat Dianella 1 by an even closer margin, of one game. Shenton Park, by virtue of their win and Dianella l's narrow loss, have retained their lead in this grade. RESULTS: A Grade. • H ABINA, a beautifully made up ground in the Dianella 9-60 defeated St bred three year old filly s traight and, although Benedicts 3-46 from the David Edwards tending to race greenly, got stables, was most impres- up to score in the last few St Marys 1 9-67 defeated St Dominics 3-32 sive when scoring a narrow strides.

We emphasise that the claims of new funeral directors of having initiated low cost funerals are not true. Mead, Son & Co. have always provided low cost facilities upon request and have in fact supplied specially low cost funerals where hardship was observed. For further information please

Poverty grips mission
Father Steve Daly, SJ, views his kitchen. His presbytery has no ceiling fans to combat the frightful heat. The bathroom has no shower or bath, no running water, just a bucket of water and a ladle for bathing.
Hardships hi villagers in sub-continent
This is an average home for a family of five. A one-room mud dwelling with a few pots and buckets, cooking utensils, a mud and cowdung stove, sleeping mats and very little food and water.
The Daltonganj Diocese, in the Australian Jesuits' region of South Bihar, India, is one of the poorest mission fields in the world. The depth of poverty is almost impossible for Australians to comprehend. Ninety per cent of the people are hard-working farmers. The whole family (including children) work just to survive. A one-room mud dwelling is a typical home for an average family of seven. There's no electricity, no sewerage, no running water, no tables or chairs, no f urniture. Possessions consist of a few cooking utensils, a mud stove, a few pots, baskets and sleeping mats. Water has to be carried in from afar.
School boarders sleep on the floor. On cold winter nights the children sleep huddled together for warmth because there are not enough cotton blankets. 11110411•••••••••1111111110••••1111111111•••••••••••••1 :
