It is a pity that the role of women in the GERALDTON 6530 Church or in society is not as clear cut as iilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIlIIIllllllllli in the Bible. I think it would be more profitable for women if rather they considered the way they are dressed while attending the holy sacrifice of the Mass and holy communion. It would seem that the devil still knows how to use a woman to lead men astray, but that is not the only thing. One must remember in whose Presence one is. Consider for a moment whether Mary our Mother would go to Mass dressed in tight slacks, skirts with slits or low cut tops.

Father Barry O'Loughlin, S.J., left Australia for India in 1964 to care for people in extreme poverty. He is now parish priest at Chhipadohar in a remote area of Bihar. His 1,600 sq. kilometre parish has over 2,000 parishioners, 19 Mass centres and no assistant priest. A verage weekly Offertory collections are only $0.36. At right: Father O'Loughlin's 40 year old mud presbytery is crumbling, the ceiling beams saggins as the building disintergrates.

Please help Father Barry 0 Loughlin care for families in extreme poverty People in Father O'Loughlin's parish live in the most awful poverty. Primitive agriculture, lack of water, polluted water, malnutrition, pitiful living conditions, lack of simple education, cause considerable hardship. Sickness abounds. Many die without ever seeing a doctor or nurse — they're just too far away. Half the children die before five years of age. Three Nazareth Sisters have volunteered to care for these people at Morwai, living village style in a mud convent now nearing completion. The Sisters will care for expectant mothers, the sick, the aged and the infirm. They will give much needed classes in hygiene, care of children, balanced diet, etc. Their presence will make a considerable difference to family life. Father O'Loughlin is appealing to Australians to help finance this humanitarian work. Whatever help you may be able to give will be greatly appreciated. All donations gratefully acknowledged.

In January 1925 the Bishop of Sale died and left that diocese vacant and Bishop Ryan moved to that diocese in March 1926.

were founded by St. Vincent Pallotti, proclaimed by several Popes as the 'prophetic f orerunner' of the Lay Apostolate. THE PALLOTTINES are an APOSTOLIC community of men with the special charism within the Church: To inspire priests, religious and laity to form Christian communities totally committed to the building of God's kingdom of JUSTICE and LOVE in contemporary society. It's an exciting CHALLENGE to any modern man, searching for an authentic Christian life of loving service. But RISKY too — in a world obsessed with success, security and SELF-fulfilment.

ROLL UP ALL YOU PICNIC HELPERS With another 20 Sunday volunteers, the Catholic Care for Intellectually Handicapped (CCIH) picnic programme could be increased to once a month.

•tttW,,

V olunteers are needed for an occasional Sunday afternoon to transport the picnickers, kick footballs, hit a tennis ball or just help with the afternoon tea.

aFor ehe first time in Australian television history viewer jobe able to witness a future King of England being married the ceremony actually takes place. T he marriage of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer will be a noted event in history. And for once the news of the day throughout the Western World will focus on this happy event rather than on the sorrows which often headline the news. In Britain particularly the declining economy, racial unrest and general troubles will be forgotten for 24 hours at least as the British rally to join in the Royal family's joyous occasion. There has been much speculation over the years about when Prince Charles would finally marry and who would be his choice for a bride. Charles was compared with Edward VII who similarly had few royal duties to keep him occupied and turned into something of a romantic figure. Charles now links himself with Edward VII a little more by being bridegroom at the first wedding of a Prince of Wales since Edward in 1863. Edward VII finally married Alexandra of Denmark, but still had some

30-odd years to wait before he succeeded to the throne. The eyes of Britain will now be turned toward Queen Elizabeth II to see if she will repeat history and retain her throne until her death as did Victoria, or whether she will stand down and allow her son to be crowned King of England. On Wednesday, July 29, at 4.45 pm Channel Nine will begin a coverage of the Royal Wedding, live from London, and West Australians will see the pomp and ceremony of such a regal occasion as it actually happens, without commercials. Lady Diana will arrive at St Paul's Cathedral in a dress designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed the muchpublicised strapless, black evening dress which Lady Diana wore to her first official engagement with the Prince. While the Press around the world would like to catch a glimpse of the gown before the wedding, pains have been taken to keep the design a secret until Lady Diana actually appears at the Cathedral.

KIMBERLEY LAY MISSIONARIES WHAT ARE THEY? They start by being average practical Catholics prepared to share whatever expertise they have with the Aboriginal children and adults of the North-West of Australia. They serve the Church, placing themselves at the disposal of the Bishop, "as vicar and legatee of Christ", (Vat II, P382), and assist him in a spirit of dedication. They give themselves totally for 2 years, living in groups, co-operating in fraternal love in the spirit of the Gospels, serving on isolated missions and townships. They are not attached to any religious order, fully accepting their Christian duty to evangelise according to their own individual abilities. Under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop they have their own formally constituted Association and elected Council. Lay Missionaries do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their fares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.

THE KIMBERLEYS or the Diocese of Broome is the far North-West part of Australia, roughly 3 times the size of Victoria. A subtropical region, with a "wet' season through the summer months; of varied terrain with beautiful beaches but a large part taken by the Great Sandy Desert. Since 1959 many admirable Australians have contributed in no small way to the personal growth and education of the Aboriginal people as lay missionaries. They, have formed close and lasting ties. Others are needed to continue and improve existing services. GENERAL ASSISTANTS including Clerks, Tradesmen, Mission & Hostel Assistants, Store-Keeper, Accountant, Typist are needed for 1981.

The Record, July 23-29, 1981

The success of game shows has now extended to the realms of children's television with a brand new c oncept for afternoon viewing Matchmates, a game show designed specifically for children. Matchmates, on Channel Nine each weekday at 4 pm, provides fun and laughs for the children, competitors and viewers alike, while offering an informative 30 minutes viewing designed to develop and stimulate the young minds involved. The basis of the game is a board of 20 squares behind which are 10 pairs of pictures on a strategy board, which ultimately match up. Each pair of matched pictures is also a part of a jigsaw puzzle which combines together to make one overall picture. Th contestant to guess the overall picture first is the winner, and then moves on to compete further. The next round consists of jumbled words and pictures, all of which match up into pairs once again. Hidden within these word picture images is a super word.

The contestant who guesses the super word receives a bank account of $50 and all contestants on the show receive a prize of educational books on a range of topics. Extensive planning and expert advice went into the making of Matchmates. The Children's Programming Department of the Nine Network went into production with the Reg Grundy Organisation (the masterminds in the field of television games shows) while Dr Millicent Poole, from the School of Education at Macquarie University, helped plan the format and is a special consultant to the series. Matchmates is designed to appeal especially to 10 and 11 year olds, but both younger and older children will be attracted to the programme and be able to participate at their own level. Father of two young children himself, actor Davids Waters will host Matchmates. David's involvement with Matchmates is not only as on-air presenter. He takes part in the weekly production meetings and gets to know the contestants b efore the show is recorded.

Nine sports commentator Wally Foreman was assigned the job of compering the live telecast of the Championship Tenpin Bowling, he decided i t was time he brushed up on the practical side of his bowling knowledge.

So he took himself to Fairlanes bowling alley for a few practice games and to his great surprise Wally scored three strikes in his first four goes! "When I was working at the ABC we used to go bowling quite often in our spare time as the alley is right next door, but I'm a bit out of practice now," Wally said. Wally will join John Burgess in the commentary booth for a live coverage of the bowling which will go to air on Sunday, July 26, at 4pm. This is the second year Channel Nine has covered the event. John Burgess was one of the first professional tenpin bowlers in Australia, and in this capacity he travelled the country teaching and giving exhibition matches. He once held the highest league average in Australia. • The look of concentration and determination belongs to Channel Nine's sports commentator, Wally Foreman, as he brushes up his bowling before the telecast of the Tenpin B owling Championship.
