They were the goods that advertising pounded home as the key to living. They could be bought with money and to have them meant not happiness but power. Running a close second for public outrage have been the politicians' salaries. Shock and amazement and pointscoring by critics have been orchestrated into street riot proportions because the vital money nerve has been touched. Money in the wallet represents power and the politician's salary gives him power that the electorate cannot touch. A curious aspect of the salaries furore is the fact that only politicians and their earnings are subjected to a cent-by-cent public scrutiny in the media. There could well be a case for an annual confession of earnings by everybody just to show how power in terms of money is distributed in the pockets of the community. But the salary of a politician is too inviting a window not to attract a hail of stones. Money has become the measure of a person's worth. To compare the value of one human being against another is a confronta.tion most would prefer to avoid because only the powerful win in the end, and at somebody's cost. The battle is fought out in the token of money instead. Money and its power in the consumer market is the recognition of worth, of responsibility, of the inequality of one human person measured against another. No wonder there has never been a strike or lockout on behalf of pensioners or the poverty level families of this country. The paper and the coins of money — are not the trouble. What is at fault is what money can buy, and it is obviously not happiness. It is not sufficient merely to rant and rage against money; it is too necessary for life and even reformers must live. The real moratorium on money is written at the cemetery gates but unfortunately the dead are no longer able to read as they are carried past the mourning living who in their grief prefer not to read. It should not be retained as the exclusive privilege of Christians to have the question asked of them: What does it profit to have gained the whole world . . . . ? 4 The Record, July 16-22, 1981

"This is an important aspect in view of the break-down of married and family life in many countries," Father Basil pointed out. He firmly believed Australia was "ripe" for a flowering of similar-type lay communities. Father Basil expressed dissatisfaction with the political situation in the Philippines, but stated that he was "delighted"

A soccer club has refusal
LONDON (NC) -The Football (soccer) A ssociation refused to let a team called Christians United wear the name of Jesus on their shirts when they play in a local league in Derbyshire. C hristians United wanted to have the name Jesus on their shirts because, according to club chairman Mervin Gratton, "Jesus C hrist changed our lives and we want to show everyone else that it was Jesus." The Football Association refused permission because Jesus was not the name of the team's sponsor and it was not the name of the club. The players are now thinking of having a Christian emblem on their shirts such as a cross or a fish.

6the1 belong to an order whose chief reason for existence is prayer. Its rule, drawn up in year 1243 emphasises what it calls
continuous occupation with God. The Scriptures might call it praying always. Praying always seems to have been a preoccupation with some people in the Church from very early times. The first monks went into the desert to learn the secret of praying always. The early Carmelites succeeded in praying always by enclosing themselves in what was a unique way of life: A desert life lived by a community. Each lived in his own cell but the group came together for Eucharist, meals and Chapter. The cell of the prior was placed strategically near the entrance so that he could ward off unwelcome intruders and allow the hermits to pursue the occupation with God in tranquillity. The desert movement is returning to the Church, again with a vengeance. In my branch of the Carmelite Order there are at least two hermitages, one in the diocese of Breen Boro in the United States, the other in Indonesia in the Far East where a very gifted Carmelite, Father Joannes Indrakusuma, has become one of the bridge-builders between Zen meditation and Christian prayer. He has that contemplative yen of the East himself, together with a gentle way of teaching, that is disarming. The Australian Carmelites have something more akin to a house of prayer near Melbourne. Their complaint, however, is that they are continually being swamped by

1. Prayer of the Church To pray always in the Acts and in some of the New Testament letters is to be faithful to a rite of prayer. We have more explicit evidence of this in a very early piece of Christian writing, the Didache or The Teaching of the Lord to the Nations, Given Through the Twelve Apostles. The Didache states that Christians pray the "Our Father" three times in the day. In time, the rite of prayer to which Christians remain faithful becomes The Prayer of the Church or The Liturgy of the Hours, better known perhaps as The Divine Office.

I heartily recommend a favourite pamphlet: The Power Of The Name: The Jesus Prayer in Orthodox Spirituality by Archimandrite Kallistos Ware (SLG Press, Convent of the Incarnation, Fairacres, Oxford). In the formal use of The Jesus Prayer one concentrates one's whole attention on the saying of it to the exclusion of everything else. The form of words ranges from "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour, have mercy on me, a sinner" to shorter ones like "Lord Jesus", or "Jesus" alone. The essential and unvarying element is the divine name of Jesus. One can employ the breathing to facilitate the saying of it. In the end the name takes over, sinks down into the heart to the extent that one is continually aware of it. The pilgrim's own fine description of having arrived at this stage after much endeavour is a most intriguing section_ in the book.

By BOB BOYLE
, Mr Francesco (Frank) Del Rosso, a member of the Fremantle City C ouncil since 1973, has been deputy mayor of the city on two occasions — in 1978-79 and 1980-81. He was made a Justice of the Peace in 1964 and in the same year was awarded the Stella Della Solidarietta Italiana by the Italian Government, the first such honour bestowed in Fremantle, in recognition of his efforts in community' work. Born in Molfetta in southern Italy, he is one of a family of nine children and at the age of three he came with his parents to Fremantle where he has lived ever since. They were the first people from Molfetta to come to Fremantle. He started as a fisherman when he was 13 and at 18 he was master of a fishing lugger working up the coast from Fremantle. His knowledge of the WA coast was of special value during his 41/2 years' wartime service with the AlF. Because of his bi-lingual abilities he was used as an interpreter, and at the end of the war he was able to help several Italian prisoners-of-war who wished to return to WA after having been employed here by farmers. Frank and three other Italians joined with four Australians to form the Fremantle Fishermen's Co-Operative. He was its first manager for 18 months and when he returned to active fishing he spent seven years as the co-operative's president. He was educated at St Joseph's Convent in Parry Street and at CBC Fremantle. He and his wife Maria (nee Salvemini), who also comes from Motfella, have been members of the Christ the King parish at Beaconsfield since 1946. They have two sons and two daughters ranging in age from 18 to 36. formed, Frank insisted that the club He also acts as a counsellor to them should be Italian in name only with in many other subjects with the aim a membership of Italians and Aus- of smoothing their way into cordial relationships with Australians.

which he has stood except the first when he was defeated, and is the Local Government Association representative on the Swan River Safety of Navigable Waters Committee.
Since he first went to sea as a fisherman at the age of 13 life has not been all smooth sailing for Frank Del Rosso, but his civic and community record is an inspiration to Italians and Australians alike.

CO-OP FORMED 2 2 Frank, three other Italians and 2 four Australians decided to do \ something to remedy the situation 3 and they formed the Fremantle
1 Fishermen's Co-Operative. Italian fishermen at the time were h reluctant in some cases to change E from lobster fishing to prawn trawling. Frank encouraged young Australians to enter the industry. Today the co-operative has a high k Australian membership with many 3 of them serving as skippers, engineers and crew. ,After 1965 when he was manager of h fish-processing works at Jurien Bay g and Lancelin, Frank continued to e foster the Italian-Australian association in the belief that on it 2 depended the survival and development of the industry. 3 The Blessing of the Fleet organisation was formed after World War II and he was its president from 1958 t o 1964. The organisation was largely h instrumental in the establishment of g the Stella Mans kindergarten when 1it provided the $4,000 for the purIchase of the land in Hampton Road k on which the sisters of Our Lady of 4 the Missions started the kindergarten.

personal, seems to indicate some masterly guiding hand somewhere. It is a series which Catholics could watch with benefit for one important reason. The Universal Church contains, as St Luke pointed out, the scourings of the ocean bed. Most other religions are composed of nice folk who are all like each other. Not the Holy Roman Church; it has the lot. This imposes a strain on its members which is perhaps most often seen at the sign of peace when some universal effort is made to acknowledge the right of the fellow next door to be himself.
Well-known Melbourne commentator Niall Brennan writes a fortnightly column in The Advocate
The sign of peace is the best thing that has happened to the eternal Mass this century. Although we are all supposed to be brainwashed at our Catholic schools and to have no capacity for independent thought, there is probably more dispute, discussion, and downright conflict within the Church than with any of its separated brethren. The portrayal of these differences, in all their awful legitimacy is thus a w ork useful to most of us. It occurs to me that Menotti might be a useful recruiting film — for vocations. It portrays the life of priests as it probably is: exciting, rewarding, frustrating, energetic, and fulfilling. No doubt some priests will disagree with me. But it is a far cry from the common portrayal of the priest as either a blocked-up bigot, or a colourless pooftah. It portrays them as men, doing challenging work. I wonder how many would be attracted to the priesthood by watching it. I have been critical of television before and, by and large, it is awful. I watched some of Prisoner the other night until I could stand it no longer. On another evening,I watched as much of Skyways as I could stand and that was about 15 minutes. But Wednesday nights which start with Mastermind, that gladiatorial contest in which I am sure that subconsciously we are all avid for blood; and then goes through The Inven-
tors with Diana Fisher giggling more and more each night, and finishes with Menotti is a pleasant evening indeed. A nasty character, that old priest, bigoted and narrow; but excellently played by Peter Gwynne, who turns up, again after a lapse of years to play another semi-Irish priest in Menotti, the old monsignor who likes to run his parish the traditional way. Dead Men Running with its host of villains could leave you with mixed feelings. We knew that we are all supposed to be sinners, but were we ever as sinful as that? Menotti reverses the trend. It conforms to a very high level of drama in that there are no villains. The conflicts are those of good people with different ideas of methods and means. Menotti — not "Father", but Jack, and not Irish but presumably of Italian background — is a young trendy,
That is the stuff of success today. This is the conformity of ideas we suffer from today. It is the avantgarde which has become hidebound conservative, talking in predictable cliches. Indeed vast numbers of people often rush to the side of an unconventional priest on the assumption that the traditional church must be wrong. No such folly affects Menotti. The conflicts are real but even. They are recognisable. Father. Menotti burns with a lovable idealism, and as a result he falls flat on his face from time to time. Monsignor Donnelly has been at the game long enough for his fires to cool down but he is not always right. Sometimes he is too conservative and he concedes victory to the younger man.

It would be all too easy these days for someone to write a drama of a young Catholic priest, bucking the inert medieval system, and finally making off with an ex-nun for a life of bliss and true dedication to the needs of man. God knows, it has happened often enough. I have often declared that from a money-making point of view I am wasting my time writing the stuff I do when a fortune awaits the novelist who can dish up the story of a homosexual priest falling in love with lesbian nun.

Pressure on workers DISGUST AT PAY RISE M ick returned to school to do Year 12 on the grounds that it would help his p resent job prospects. But 15 months after completion, he was still looking for w ork. He had a stack of more than 50 rejections. Relationships at home were pretty strained. Social life was at a standstill and life seemed pretty desperate. R elief came in the form of a job as a factory boyfriday. M ick now rises before 6am, walks a fairish journey to the station, and travels by train to w ork that begins at 7.30am. W ork is physically tiring, cleaning windows and floors, pushing carts around, delivering gear. His unskilled position is at the bottom of the barrel in the factory hierarchy. "And what about the future?" asks Mick. "This job is getting me nowhere." The situation that Mick has faced in less than two years since leaving school has been fairly traumatic. They are the sort of p ressures that face young w orkers in Australia today. Elsewhere in this paper we hear of even worse situations facing your w orkers in other parts of the • world. Forty years' ago Josef Cardijn, founder of the YCW Movement, ,recognised how critical were these years in the life of the young worker.
with Father Hugh O 'Sullivan National YCW Chaplain.
On his grave the following words are written: "The spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has sent me to preach the good news to the poor." What is the good news for Mick and the young workers of India? Firstly, that they each do have an immeasurable worth. Secondly the fact that they are not treated according to that worth is not an utter disaster. Rather is it a call to struggle for change — a struggle shared with all workers — for a world of justice and peace for all men? The daily small actions of YCW members that speak their vision and their desire to build a new world provide meaning and fulfilment to any life. Christians know that these small actions build the ultimate meaning of mateship with Christ. For He walked this road before, He walks it now, and He calls each young worker to walk it with Him.
FOR FEDERAL MPs... I was dismayed and disgusted when I read that a salary increase of about 20 per cent has been proposed for Federal politicians.
Many times over the last t wo years government spokesmen have told us that workers are crippling the country with irresponsible demands for more. The razor gang has announced massive cuts in government spending. Much of t he blame for these employment cuts has been put on high wage demands. On June 19, 1981, The West Australian reported that the average minimum award rates for Australian men rose by 9.1 per cent in the year to April. The comparable wage rate for women rose by 11.3 per nity of workers throughout cent. this country.

people making the decisions that shape our lives then I find it impossible to believe we live in a society that believes in equality and justice. Many Catholics have supported the Australian Labor Party as a party which will work towards justice and equality for all regardless of status. With Mr Hayden openly accepting these proposed increases, one Catholic can no longer believe in their sincerity to work towards such change. I sincerely hope the hundreds of young people working towards change for a better world through the YCW movement continue their work. It is to be hoped that they will accept the challenge to become leaders of our society and will build a world based on Christian beliefs of equality, love and justice.
