Catholic Bishops of Australia must urge all their church members to reply to question 17 on the census sheet completed on June 30.
The questions asks: "What is each person's religious denomination?" It is the only question on the census for which a reply is optional.
Town &Country. Setting the Pace. Town & Country Permanent Building Society 297 Murray Street Perth Telephone 327 3333.
Heads of all churches are similarly expected to urge their congregations to fill in the question. (In the 1976 census 1.6 million Australians, 11.75 percent of the total population, did not answer the question on religious denomination). Archbishop Goody backed the Catholic Bishops' Conference recommendation saying that the information gained from the census would be useful to the Catholic Church for future planning. "The information gives us a statistical picture across Australia, a profile of the people in our Catholic parishes, their age and the number of children they have," Archbishop Goody said. "At local level the diocese and the parish can make better plans for pastoral care by knowing the number of Catholics in a district who need to be contacted, the number of children who need religious instruction in Catholic or state schools, the number of aged people who may require attention, and the number of young people moving towards marriage. "An accurate knowledge of the distribution of our Catholic population will enable us to plan more carefully the placement of priests and religious brothers and sisters, the establishment of new churches and schools and the use of other pastoral resources." (See Census Appeal, Page 4.)

Rebord The glaring obvious fact that this issue of The Record can throw no light on the eruption at Kalumburu would be surpassed only by the fact that till now most West Australians have never heard of the place.
ANSWER A CENSUS IIERY
While we can get a minute by minute description of a child buried alive in Italy it is hard to appreciate that here in WA communication with Kalumburu is either by a letter flown in to a private airstrip or through an expensive radio telegraph service.
Should you fill in the question on religion in the June 30 census form? The answer from the National Catholic Research Council is a resounding YES. .
In the past few months the far north appears to have attracted a small army of journalists and photographers from the papers and networks but they have thrown about as much light on the issues Of Kalumburu as they have on the elusive diamonds.

Primitive conditions in schools and hostels No dining rooms,no cutlery
R ice is about all the school boarders get. They sit on the ground near the kitchen, and eat the meagre meals with their fingers.
Many classrooms without desks
A typical hostel kitchen . has no electricity, no running water, no sink. Meals are cooked on a fuel stove made of mud and cowdung.
Overcrowding is a widespread problem and thousands are turned away each year because of lack of facilities and finance.
Deep wells without pumps
No beds,not enough blankets During cold winter nights, boarders sleep on the floor, huddled together for warmth. A cotton blanket costs only $2.50 in India.
Water is raised in a bucket on a lengthy piece of rope, a risky operation for small children who occasionally fall in.

For centuries, mystery surrounded the existence of the giraffe. The Greeks believed the animal was the result of a mating between a camel and a leopard. Early hunters declared the giraffe sacred and George IV had one as a pet — and is said to have built a hammock for it when it became ill. The programme compares the life of giraffes in London Zoo with their relatives in East Africa. One of the highlights is the birth of a baby in the wild.

Seventy-eight years ago Grace McGerr (nee Shepherd) was born in her home in Rupert Street, Subiaco. She lived at Sandstone and attended the local convent. In 1915 Grace's family moved back to Perth and she attended St Aloysius School in what was then Shenton Park. Now the area is part of Subiaco. After serving a five-year apprenticeship as a dressmaker, she went to work at Fair Victorian as a designer and cutter. Denis John McGerr married Grace in 1927 and they had three children. Grace was president of the Nedlands branch of the CWL for 20 years, and has managed the Daughters of Charity, William Street, Charity Shop for about 18 years. She followed family tradition and became a member of the St Aloysius branch of St Vincent de Paul — at that stage women were accepted as members. The Children of Mary society also benefited from Grace's membership. Since its inception until about four years ago, she was a cook in the Daughters of Charity soup kitchen. She has also been a vital part of the women's shelter and St Vincent's Hospital in Guildford. To both these places she donates her time freely.
