NEW DISAB IS NAMED
VATICAN CITY —Pope John Paul 11 sent a message IA congratulations to Prince Charles on the occasion of his marriage to Lady Diana Spencer and a Catholic prelate participated in the wedding service of an heir to the English throne for the first time since the 17th century. "On the happy occasion of your wedding to Lady Diana Spencer," the papal telegram to the Prince of Wales said, "It gives me great pleasure to offer my best wishes to Your Royal Highness and your bride. "I pray that Almighty God will bestow upon both of you his richest blessings of peace and joy in many happy years of Christian married life and in the high service to which you have been called." The telegram in English was sent from the Gemelli Hospital where the pope is reported to be improving. Cardinal Hume's prayer for the royal couple said: "Almighty God, you send your Holy Spirit to be the life and light of all your people. Open the hearts of these your children to the riches of his grace, that they may bring - forth the fruit of the spirit in love and joy and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord."
At the Gemelli Hospital, Dr Tresalti issued the 26th medical bulletin since the pope's assassination attempt, saying that the virus infection has been cleared up and plans were being made for an operation to reverse a temporary colosto my. Dr Tresalti said he was "perfectly convinced" that Pope John Paul would recover his full physical efficiency" within a month or two after the second operation. "The pope's psychological and moral state is superior to his physical recovery, which is not yet complete," he added. "He is perfectly himself, and e ven enriched by this experience." Pope John Paul is expected to remain at the hospital for one or two weeks after the operation and then go to the papal summer residence in Castelgandolfo until late September or early October. "At present the pope is very well, he is working normally and has regained weight," said

Dr Tresalti. Pope John Paul takes two or three walks each day around the 11th floor of the hospital, greeting other patients and s ometimes going to a window to bless visitors below. The pope went to the window of his room three times recently to greet 75 Polish boy scouts who came to Rome from Warsaw. The young people were singing Polish songs outside the window. Pope John Paul also went to his window to greet groups of people who had come to Rome on trips originally scheduled to coincide with the pope's weekly Wednesday audience. In tape recorded Angelus messages that are delivered each Sunday in St Peter's Square the pope called on listeners to think on the "closeness of God." The pope reminded his audience that God is present to them in every time and place," in vacation days, in daily life, in work and in (est, in joy and also in suffering and sickness." He told the Polish pilgrims that he was praying "for our fatherland: for a good harvest and for all that is indispensable for social order and for renewal." During the past week German magistrates have visited Rome's maximum security prison to question the pope's assassin, Ali Agca about two murders committed in Germany last year. Agca, under life sentence, refused to talk to them except to say that he had never been to their country. Both murders involve Turkish citizens living in West Germany and both victims are believed to have belonged to the Grey Wolves to which Agca also allegedly belonged. The German magistrates took back samples of Agca's fingerprints for further study. One of the murdered victims told police before he died that his killer had mentioned Agca and gave physical details of Agca which matched the assailant. Germany could ask for the extradition of Agca, but Turkey also wants Agca extradited for other charges.

$40,000 prize
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (NC) — Father Edward Schillebeeckx, controversial theologian whose views have been investigated by the Vatican, received the 1982 Erasmus Prize for Culture. .The Erasmus Foundation said Father Schillebeeckx won the $40,000 prize because of his faith and his writings on theological issues. T he Belgian-born Father Schillebeeckx, a Dominican, teaches at the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The prize, founded by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in 1958, c ommemorates the 1 6th-century Dutch philosopher Erasmus. The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith interviewed Father Schillebeeckx in December, 1979, as part of an investigation into his views. The investigation stemmed from what the congregation regarded as ambiguities in his theology about Christ's divinity, the virgin birth, the resurrection and related questions. On June 25 the Vatican released its decision w hich essentially cleared the theologian of questions regarding his orthodoxy. The decision, however, asked Father Schillebeeckx to publish the clarifications of his views that he made to the Vatican.

NEW BISHOP MEETS SCHOOLS NEED AN PRIESTS AT GOLF AID SHOT
Priest golfers from Perth and Bunbury dioceses met their - northern opponents in Geraldton last week and it was a chance for the new Bishop of Geraldton to meet his future c lergy under a variety of conditions.
ADELAIDE: In Australia, 22.3 per cent of school children attend nongovernment schools, yet those same schools receive only 11 per cent of the money the Federal and State governments spend on schools.

This was said by Mr John McDonald, director of Catholic Education in South Australia, when he opened the new St Thomas More School in Elizabeth Park. "The State Government — not the Commonwealth — has the responsibility of meeting the full cost of educating a child at a Government school. "Although the Commonwealth funding provides for important work in the Government sector, it is not the mainstay of the recurrent programme. "The Commonwealth funding is the main provider of recurrent funds to the majority of schools in the private sector. "These facts have been omitted from recent press articles dealing with Government funding. "In addition the SA Government has, to this point, not provided one cent towards the cost of buildings in the non-Government sector. "This is the only State where interest subsidies on capital debts are not paid by the State Government. "On the other hand, the State Government meets, in most cases, the full cost of buildings in the Government sector," he said. Mr McDonald added that SA parents alone would pay more than $9 million in fees this year. "In addition, parishes and parent fund-raising activities provide significant recurrent income," he said. "This finance comes from a group of parents representing the full spectrum of socio-economic groups and wage earners within our society. "They represent a group of tax payers who pay taxes to support education, whether it be in the Government or the Catholic sectors. "They deserve just subsidies from the Government towards the running of their schools," he added.

Bible boom in Poland Bible sales are booming in Poland. Sixtytwo thousand Bibles have been distributed t hrough the Bible Society's bookshop in Warsaw during the last five months. The Society's Executive Secretary in Poland, Mrs Barbara Enholc - Narzynska, says that interest in the Bible is considerable and more copies could be sold if stocks were available. In a new development, the Bible Society in • Poland, in co-operation with the Polish Society for the Blind, has produced a series of Scripture cassettes. The series is made up of six one-hour cassettes and contains selected Bible passages read by a wellknown Polish actor. The initial production run is 12,000 sets. Meanwhile, the first Bible Congress will take place in the German Democratic Republic next March. Ironically, the Congress will be held in Karl Marx City (Karl-Marx-Stadt, formerly Chemnitz). The Congress theme will be Time for the Bible.
The project at Aberfoyle Park is regarded as one of national importance, and could be a sign of things to come on the. Australian education scene. The schools will jointly use the facilities of a central resource area, administration, activities hall and canteen.
Each school, however, will have a separate identity. It will have its own principal, staff and school boards, although some specialist teachers and ancillary staff will be shared. Initially provision has been made for 180 students at the Heysen and Spence They will also share schools, 120 for the recreation grounds, oval Catholic school and about and soccer pitch facilities. 200 at the Pilgrim school.

The suggestion that the devil uses women to lead men astray suggests that perhaps God made a mistake in creating women. I am tired of the attitude that places all the responsibility on the female.

Pope wants to DOCTRINE UESTI ON Q break political restraints Killings blamed on military
SAN SALVADOR, El S alvador (NC) — Bishop Arturo Rivera D amas, apostolic a dministrator of San Salvador, said security forces were responsible for recent mass killings. The bishop made the denunciation during his Sunday homily. The bishop also said little progress has been made in the investigation of t he murders last December of four A merican women missionaries. Press reports in San Salvador said 28 peasants had been found dead under a bridge and during the same week about 70 persons had been forced from their homes and executed. Bishop Rivera condemned the indiscriminate killing of civilians by security and paramilitary forces.
LONDON (NC) — Some convergence between Catholics and Methodists on the question of papal authority has been recorded by a report of the Joint Commission between the Roman Catholic Church and the World Methodist Council, summarising its discussions from ROME (NC) — Pope John Paul II sent a letter to 1977 to 1981. The report said "that scripture in witness to the living tradition from Poland calling for the continued "freedom of which it arose has a normative role for the total tradition of the church religion and conscience" in his native land. a s it lives and is guided still by the spirit of truth." It suggested that the emotions surrounding such relatively modern terms as infallibility and irreformability could be diminished if they were looked at in the light of their shared doctrine concerning the Holy Spirit.
The pope's letter to his countrymen was read in all Polish churches the day Pope John Paul nominated Bishop Jozef Glemp to succeed the late Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski as primate of Poland and archbishop of Gniezno and Warsaw.
But this primary aspect had been obscured by the emotions and polemics surrounding such terms as "infallibility" and "universal and immediate jurisdiction."

Denis Matthew O'Sullivan, farm management consultant of six partners in Agribusiness Counand a director and one sellor Pty Ltd, was born the eldest of six children at Timaru in the south island of New Zealand. He was educated at St Bede's College conducted by the Fathers in Christchurch, returned for six years to the larist N family farm in the South Canterbury area about 50 kilometres from Timaru and went on to Lincoln College near C hristchurch where he obtained a diploma in farm management and rural valuation. For two years he worked for the New Zealand Lands and Survey Department. A ttracted by the opportunities this State presented for his profession he came to WA in November 1964 after having become engaged Auckland girl Anne Pirritt whom he r eturned to marry at Easter, 1965. The couple migrated to this S tate after the wedding. T hey have four children — Simon (14), Anne Maree (12), Bridget (9) and Michael (7). Denis was president of the first parish council at Quairading and later had a total of five years in the same position in his present parish, Our Lady of Victories at Wembley. His wife is a member of the P and F at Jona College.
Denis and Anne O'Sullivan lived in T ammin for two years before moving late in 1966 to Quairading where they were to spend seven years. T heir pastor at Tam mm was Father Sean Sorahan who was then stationed at Kellerberrin and he is their present parish priest at Our Lady of Victories, Wembley.
NEW ZEALAND FAR CRY FROM ARID WA LAND
"As a matter of fact," Denis laughs, "he was instrumental in lumbering me for the job of president at the first parish council meeting I attended at OLV and of Improved technology.., air seeders are among the sophisticated equipment now the six years I spent on the council five of them were used by farmers. as president." One of the first eye-operners for Denis on his arrival in WA was the size of the holdings and farm businesses here compared to the much smaller scale he had experienced in New Zealand. The country here seemed as dry as a bone after the soft green of his native land. "It took the whole of the first summer here for my blood to thin out," he says, "but now I w ouldn't swap the climate for anything." A nother great difference is t hat WA farmers have to live with the climate. In the good years here they make a lot of money and in the bad years they lose a lot; the New Zealand farmer is on a more even keel seasonally and his profits and losses are not as big. Denis sees his job essentially as helping farmers to fulfill t heir objectives. The farming principles are the same as in New Zealand, but when he first got here he was often asked disparagingly w hat he would know about A ustralian agriculture. His r eaction in the first 12 months was to keep her ear to the ground and not say too much. Each of the six partners in A gribusiness looks after a bout 45 farmers and Denis fills something of a managingdirector role in keeping the
clients up to date technically and financially. The type of work the business does has changed over recent years because farming has become more technical in matters such as machinery, pastures, crops and fertilisers. There is a greater emphasis on finance, and Agribusiness has had to enter increasingly into the field of capital management. Inflation and the rising price of land have resulted in may farmers possessing assets of $1 million or more and the proper handling of such big capital means greater responsibility for their advisers. An off-shoot of this development has been the establishment of Agribusiness of a real estate subsidiary to cater for the city and rural land transactions of its clients., The business undertakes feasibility studies for overseas investors who come from places such as the United Kingdom, America and Germany. Some buy a farm for capital gain and lease it back to the vendor or another farmer. Denis believes it is not these people who have pushed up the price of rural land but the farmers themselves in their a cquisition of additonal properties. He says that agriculture in W A has a good future.
World cereal production is in a. fine balance of supply and demand and there will always be demand for grain. Technology, too, is improving all the time. There is a big potential for sheep meat, and live sheep exports have expanded dramatically in the past five years. In the next decade wool is likely to become a by-product of the sheep industry instead of being its main reason for existence which has been the case for generations. Land that was selling for $45 an acre a short time ago is now priced around $225.
The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith reported that its disciplinary O ffice "has cared especially for the rehabilitation to active pastoral service of numerous subjects who, after some period of defection, have brought to maturity signs of repentance. There have been further increases in requests for reintegration and rehabilitation by priests who for o btained various reasons had previously a dispensation from priestly o bligations." The congregation's office for priests reported that requests for dispensations from Priestly obligations were being processed again in the final months of 1980 after new norms for the process were published. Shortly after Pope John Paul 11 took office in 1978 he 'cuspended the laicisation process for all but a few exceptional cases until the matter could be restudied and new norms issued.

The traditional lending institutions have not got the sort of money that is necessary now to buy additional land. Borrowing money and servicing the loans is a big problem with farmers, and Denis can see them moving away from traditional lending institutons to sources such as merchant banks. As is the case in other industries, only the big farm operators will be able to expand and the smaller ones will either stay as they are or leave the industry. Denis's three younger brothers are still running the family farm in New Zealand but the other members of his_ wife's family have all moved to WA.
Priests seeking return
V ATICAN CITY (NC) — An increasing number of priests who left the a ctive ministry are seeking to return, a ccording to data in the 1,300-page L 'Attivita della Santa Sede 1980 ( Activities of the Holy See 1980).
Today's People
ments and Divine Worship expressed concern over requests by widowed permanent deacons for permission to remarry.
"Instead of a dispensation to remarry, ordinarily one is advised to ask for reduction to the lay state with a dispensation from duties," the r eport said. The same congregation expressed concern over "authorisation abusively given to deacons and even to women religious" to confer the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. "The minister of this sacrament is only the priest," the report said. The report by the Congregation for the Clergy emphasised its concern over a redistribution of the world's clergy, saying that this is not just possible or commendable but "necessary for the growth of the church." It also expressed concern over the substitution of lay persons in tasks ordinarily assigned to priests. It judged that in mission territories and priest-poor Latin America the use of lay collaborators "seems to be the fruit of a search for a better evangelisation of the people of God".

The news of the German surrender is greeted with less than full-blooded enthusiasm in the Sullivan household. They have waited so long for t his to happen that the moment is an anticlimax. Little is said as the family goes about its business as usual, but in each person's mind is the memory of loved ones who were lost in the fighting. Dave invites Elizabeth home for dinner and the family waits in expectation, wondering about the woman who has captured their father's attention. On arrival Elizabeth is greeted with mixed reactions. Kitty takes one look at her and decides she doesn't like her, while t he others try their hardest to make her welcome. After dinner, however, Dave and Elizabeth argue their points of view on marriage and his new lady walks out, ending their relationship.

TOUGH EARLY DAYS WERE FACED BY BIG F ARM FAMILY T imes were lean when the Power family of seven first moved to their sheep and wheat farm at Kukerin. Money was tight, so employing a farm hand was out of the question.
Bunbury Diocese CWL president Mrs Anne Power has lived on wheat farms most of her life. Anne was born in Victoria but came to the West in 1965 with her husband Brian nine years after they were married. Anne received her education as a boarder from the Sisters of Mercy at Sacred Heart College in Ballarat East. Anne's five children have all boarded in Perth's Catholic colleges. Now she has two computer programmers, a hairdresser, a farmer and a schoolboy in the family. Two of her brothers are Christian Brothers. She has held various positions within CWL branches in her 16 years of membership, and has been diocese president for two years. She was also president of the Lake Grace parish council for three years, and represents Lake Grace on the Bunbury Pastoral Council.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NC) — Members of the Knights of Columbus throughout North America contributed more than 9.2 million hours to community service during 1980. The same members also gave more than $29 million for charitable and benevolent causes. The 9,228,937 hours in community service were devoted to youth, hospitals, orphanages and church activities. An additional 896,393 hours were dedicated to sick and disabled members and their families. The Knights also made 805,861 visits to the sick and bereaved.
grants need love
I was crossing Scarborough Beach Road to say Mass. A man came up to me on a bicycle and greeted me.I oung y knew the face because he was in charge of the altar servers, but Idid not know his name. His name is Chris and he works in a fruit and vegetable section of a big store. When I asked him how he liked his work, his face lit up full of expression, so I had my answer. Two months' ago I took Chris to a Y oung Christian Students' weekend at Parkerville. On the way up we talked about his w ork. He takes pride in his work. He told me how he arranges the lettuces into a display after trimming them. He was upset one day when someone came along and pulled out the middle lettuce and disrupted his display. I tried to help Chris see he was there to sell the lettuces and that the display was only a vehicle for sales. He had a talent to arrange a display, because he was creative and a neat array of lettuces brought pride and satisfaction to this work and helped the customers in choosing quality vegetables. Part of Chris-' nature is to be pleasant to customers. One day he helped an elderly lady. She had too much to carry so he got her a trolley. This elderly person is a regular customer. Because of Chris' thoughtfulness, she asked what religion he was. He replied Catholic. She sensed something different about Chris. She explained how she had moved into a smaller flat and having little room, asked Chris if he would like her radiogram. This made Chris feel really good because she cared about him. He shared his appreciation t owards her by giving her a kiss.
On arriving at the camp, he noticed that everybody greeted him warmly and made him welcome. It seemed as if he had been with them all the weekend. He experienced a love from people he had never met before. This complete acceptance was not new to Chris. He saw it operate in his family and now in another family, where he was a "stranger". He wanted to join a YCS group after that experience and asked me to find him a group. WhenIsaw him two weeks' later, he had already been contacted and was going to his third meeting. He has more faith in God and other people. He has learnt to trust people. From being in a review situation, he has found people bringing Jesus more into their lives as they reflect in an honest and open way about events in their lives that concern them. Since that weekend, Chris has something burning inside which will never go out. "It is like a fire", he said. He gets love and attention from his family and YCS. It is like putting wood on a fire from that he, in turn radiates love and warmth to others. I was able to help Chris because I involved him with people of his own age. I believed that from the way he spoke and witnessed to his faith and family, he would benefit from the camp. He gave a lot too, and was good company for me.

The subsequent discussion and time spent alone away from the hustle and bustle of the world outside contemplating our own life style gave us the opportunity to stop and think for a moment.

cies, politicians, sportsmen, critics - in fact anyone. It experiments with television technology, both successfully and unsuccessfully and bubbles through the ad-libbed minutes with everything from subtitled puns and riddles to wisecracks from voice over man John Blackman. Segments include the angel Charlie Who, the 'What Cheeses Me Off' mailbag, 'Media Watch', which looks at mistakes made by the printed and electronic media, and the p opular Biddleonian jokes, named in honour of GTV9 station manager Ron Biddle. Biddleonians are the victims of the same type of jokes which have afflicted the Irish in recent years. The result of this potpourri of humour is that Daryl and Ossie have attracted something of a cult among older viewers as well as the expected younger audience.

ENVIRONMENT AIDS LEARNING PROCESS
C hildren learn best in an environment of support, encouragement and trust. The staff, parents and children at Good Shepherd School in Kelmscott try to build such an environment through a deliberate plan to look at the strengths of each child.
"Respect and love for oneself, for God, and for other people, bring about an overall happy school environment which promotes a sincere application to learning, encourages selfdiscipline and ratifies Christian v alues," Loreto Sister Helen Murphy, the school principal said. The school building is of unique open-area design situated on 14 acres of bushland. The bush setting is just another special factor contributing to the school. happy atmosphere of the ,,"Caring for a pupil population of 4, we have seven classroom teachers and a part-time music
specialist." The school is well-equipped thanks to the energy of the parent group, and it boasts that there is hardly a family which is not involved one way or another, helping in the classroom, in the library, on the sports field, or in maintaining the grounds and oval. The government also helped in the equipping of the school when it gave a "generous" library grant. A well-organised sports programme geared towards teaching skills climaxes twice a term in interschool sports for years four to seven. Years one to three are deeply involved in the Kodaly method of
musical literacy. Folk dancing and singing are strengths throughout. The Kodaly method of musical literacy provides the child with the ability to look at a piece of music and interpret it. Musical specialist Miss Tarna Osborne and other teachers partake in an area, programme which provides an in-service course for them to effectively learn the Kodaly method. The school has a dedicated and committed choir which sings at festivals and First Holy Communions. Good Shepherd strictly adheres to the new maths syllabus published by the Education Department in 1979.

How to get a copy of this
You can get a copy of this photograph if you want. The Record will be making copies of photographs available to the school involved at a reduced rate. All your school has to do is take the orders and then tell us how many copies are needed. It will be a great way of raising funds. Again, most of the equipment required for the effective teaching of this course was hand-made by parents. In-service training courses for teachers and parents were supplied by the school. Parish priest Father Brunetti is involved in the class and school Masses that are held throughout the term, and he is very interested in the individual religious training of the children. Good Shepherd is a relatively new school. It was given temporary accommodation in the St Francis
Xavier school in Kelmscott in 1977. In the Easter of that year it moved to its present location. The school also has a strong involvement with the community and State schools in the area. Pupils make friendly visits to old people's homes and State schools as part of their broadening education programme. "There is an emphasis throughout the school on the teaching of basic skills, but we also love our celebration days. These usually revolve round a liturgical feast," Sister Helen said.
