Neutron bomb issue analysed
The very rare scene on the sanctuary of Saint Mary's Cathedral last Saturday when four men were ordained to the priesthoodhas been surpassed only by the exceptional event seven years ago when a group of six were ordained at one ceremony.
From J.F. Harding, Diane/la.
Even larger ordination groups were not an uncommon sight in former days but only in major seminary chapels or cathedrals where students from many dioceses or orders were ordained in one ceremony.
PIPMAPPRITPORTARNEA,
HOW TO WRaTE IN Send us a letter and have your say in The Record.
Local ceremonies contain a vital lesson for the diocesan People of God as is noted elsewhere in this issue by a former Guildford seminary rector who points out that contact with the local diocese is an important ingredient today in the formation of priests.

A test of local diocesan interest wouldbe to ask how many people are aware that in the past twelve months eleven priests have been ordained in Western Australia for dioceses and religious orders.
owing signs of the times
Even those who witness the joyful spectacle of an ordination may not recognise the full story. In last Saturday's ordination group only one was born in Australia and a glance at the current archdiocesan list reveals at least ten other priests who were born overseas and whose path to the priesthood took place here. Heading the list is Archbishop Goody and also the new dean of St. Mary's Cathedral, Father Pat O'Reilly, whose story is similar to that of last Saturday's ordinands who worked in secular employment before studying for the priesthood. A look at the same list reveals more priests whose families came to settle in Australia and whose sons later became priests. Such facts teach well and truly the fact that the seed of the Catholic faith has had to be sown in this country and that the church is forever missionary whether from one country to another or from one generation to another. The story is epitomised by the first ordination in WA in 1849 of the Irishman Timothy Donovan, only a catechist and barely a seminarian, who had to fill hurriedly the ranks of the non-existent Catholic clergy. Yet the great Irish infusion of faith into Western Australia did not begin even at that point — the majority of early priests being Spanish, French and Italian. From the middle of the last century however the scene was dominated by the great wave of Irish priests, sisters and brothers who came to Western Australia and became its salvation from the point of view of vocations. Very few of the hundreds of thousands of Catholic migrants who have come to this country since the war have an inkling of why and how there were so many sound Catholic parishes and schools ready to receive them. Many people sitting calmly in their churches in Sunday would be surprised to hear how recently the parishes of Western A ustralia were saved by such volunteer priests from Ireland. When Archbishop Prendiville took charge of the Perth archdiocese in 1935 he saw quickly that the priest resource nowhere near matched the growth that lay ahead. On his first return visit to his native Ireland that year he recruited the first 21 of nearly 100 priests who would contribute to the local church growth from 1939 onwards. About the same time, the local St. Charles' Seminary, still in its training role, was born to give a surge in vocations from local families. The scene is changing as some of these priests both from Ireland and St. Charles' have already gone to their reward. New men must fill the ranks. A s last Saturday's ceremony reveals, where and how they will enter the priesthood is a continual story of God's providential calling. The real proof of our appreciation of God calling us will be the determination of the Catholic community to see its sons value and follow the call to the priesthood as the expression of Christian service. 4
from F. 0. Grogan, Cottesloe
Sir, Niall Brennan's laudatory review of the television series Menotti (The Record, July 16) mentions that the story of life in a Catholic presbytery received mixed reaction even among Catholics.
The statement on the neutron bomb by the Bishop's Committee for Development and Peace (The. Record August 20) requires analysis.
Various media reports during the previous 12 months indicate that both the USSR and France have, in fact, perfected, manufactured and stock piled the neutron bomb over the last several years. President Carter was obviously well aware of this and the castings and casings for the American version of the same bomb had been manufactured during his term of office and all that was needed was President Reagan's goahead to complete them. This fact is documented in recent editions of both Time and Newsweek magazines. The same situation exists with both gas and germ warfare, with both the Eastern bloc and Nato poWers in possession of a sufficiently lethal arsenal to retaliate, should either side be sufficiently imprudent to use them. Not to be in possession of an equalising force is to ensure a nation's susceptibility to international blackmail of which the Soviet Union are past masters as they also persist in their efforts to destabilise the Western world in their grand plan of world supremacy. With respect, the bishops' statement smacks of extreme naivete as they quote a tiny part of Pope Paul VI statement to the long-since discredited United Nations whose main source of funding is the United States who is used as a "whipping boy" by various third world nations of one party rule or military dictatorship. For the bishops to urge the "Australian Government to use its good offices with the U.S. Administration to have the decision reviewed" is to request the American nation to continue to place itself in a position to .be black-mailed and, if successful, could bnng about a situation where military parity with the Soviet Union was just a living memory shared by the older generation. To request the Federal Government to "monitor possible similar developments in the U.S.S.R." is to proclaim one's ignorance of readily available press reports and is tantamount to a serious error of judgement by an hierarchical authority which has an obligation to be much better informed.
This was true, but an initial feeling of some distaste changed to Brennan's viewpoint as the series progressed. Brennan describes Monsignor Don- priestly virtues of humility, obedience, perfect nelly, (unfairly, I believe), as a nasty continence, detachment and poverty. Again and again, the pre-eminent imporcharacter, bigoted and narrow, who likes to run his parish in the traditional tance of personal holiness is stressed as well as way and Menotti as trendy, educated intermediary role of the priest in the sacrathe Eucharist. in the USA in the social sciences, ments especially This standpoint is supported elsewhere in sometimes irked by the conservatism the documents where it is made clear that of his parish priest, the philistinism of priests cannot be expected to provide readythe parishioner and the realities of life. made answers for social and political probBrennan considers the series has balanced lems; this is seen as work for the laity the scales fairly and that, on results, the older especially for those with relevant expertise.

Terrorist definition From J. McCabe, Balga
Sir, • Misuse of the word "terrorist" is a frequent occurrence in this age and those who oppose tyrannical governments are automatically described as terrorists. Can Ken Ross (The Record, August 13) honestly support white tyranny in Southern Africa, British oppression in Ireland, fascist tyranny in El Salvador and the ill-treatment of Aborigines in Australia? The real terrorists of this world are often the institutional terrorists clad in police and army uniforms. More power to the World Council of Churches.I admire its courageous stand on such issues as South Africa, El Salvador and the Australian Aborigines.
The Record, August 27-September 2, 1981
A most effective way to do so would be by our prayers, financial assistance of the RTL, and our firm refusal to vote for any candidate or party known to be in favour of abortion by their declared policy or stated intent.

NEW VIEW OF The pope's absence A drive DEATH cuts numbers of IN c leans visitors to Rome up air A MERICA RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (NC) — A morality crusade on radio and television programmes launched by the N ational Council of Christian Churches is having good results with the cooperation of government authorities.
The crusade began at the request of antipornography groups in Sao Paulo and other cities under the slogan, "Freedom, not Licentiousness". T he council of churches also opposes reopening casinos and other gambling places throughout Brazil. One result of the crusade is an agreement reached with the TV network Globo to tone down "excesses" in soap operas and other series. Women's groups had protested against a TV series which had bedroom scenes in several programmes. Meanwhile, another project sponsored by the bishops launched a mass -oriented sex education series based on Church teachings on abortion, birth control and marriage. Bishop Mendes and Claudio Moreira, director of the project, presided at the first airing of the series in Brasilia.

JUSTICE CONCERNS ALL People must
It would be a pity if people merely read about social justice issues without being touched by them, according to Miss Patricia Dolan (pictured right) who has just concluded her term on the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace. "It then becomes j ust an academic argument. Many can win an academic argument but they don't feel anything, they haven't really learnt," she said.
"Education comes from doing something about the issue you feel angry about; while getting steamed up over a particular question you may learn something about it." Miss Dolan said that her four years as the West Australian representative on the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace had made her more sensitive to social justice areas. "There are some subject to which people react so angrily, and I have learnt how divisive some justice issues can be. "However it is never better for society never to talk about these issues because ultimately we will not have peace if we do not have justice. They go hand-in-hand." Miss Dolan said that the best path was to see the c onnection between development education as advocated by Australian Catholic Relief and other bodies and the
social justice issues to which development of overseas countries is related. She said that she is glad to see that some parishes are already doing something about sensitising people to issues of justice in their own area. "It is a less painful process. People become more genuinely interested in justice without having all the anger that results merely from confronting an issue," she said. Now a deputy principal at Davallia school, Miss Dolan has seen her own interest in social justice develop from the days when she was active in the Young Christian Students at St Mary's school, Leederville. She remembers that even her class lessons looked at issues such as automation or the White Australia policy. Later she was active in the YCW, becoming diocesan president. She has served a term as chairman of the Diocesan Pastoral Council and is a member of the Christian Social Apostolate. She believes that the presence of a national body such as the Catholic Commission for Justice

and Peace gives status to Catholic points of view that is not possible at the diocesan level. S he said that the national commission had been able to present evidence to the Ranger inquiry on uranium and the social justice statements had impact through representations to the Federal Government. "The social justice statements occasionally create a lot of negative reaction but the have had some good impact," she said. "The statement on Aborigines two years ago created a lot of controversy at the time and a lot of people have expressed disappointment that little appears to have been done, but in fact there has been a lot of action carried on as a result, and the same applies to the statement on unemployment. "Some people have high e xpectations of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace but fail to realise the number of constraints within which it has to function. "I think that people should not lower, but perhaps instead alter, their expectations and

"The whole message of social justice is one of love. The first commandment is to love God and the second to love our neighbour, and it is pretty hard to separate the two. "Loving our neighbour is hard to separate from justice and I am not sure that an unjust person really loves God. "The real need is to translate justice from controversial, flamboyant issues to real justice in 'life and in family relationships."

in 1982 and a new board has been appointed to assist in its administration. It will be the first time that a board has been appointed to a Christain Brother -owned school although other regional and parochial schools operated by the Christian Brothers already have boards.
Since 1978 the Highgate college has catered for Years 10,11 and 12 and the Bedford college has gone up to Year 9. Each had separate principals and administration while the majority of students passed from the latter to the former. In 1982 there will be one principal and administration for the two campuses and the Christian Brothers community at Highgate will move to Bedford. The new board will look at the question of uniting the two colleges under a single name. - Members of the new board are: Mr John Shervington (Chairman), Mr Bill Cutler (Vice-Chairman), Mrs Pat Connell, Mr Stan Grabski, Mr Mike Megaw, Rev James Petry, Rev Br T.O. Pickett, Mr G. Pittaway, Mr E. Speering, Mr J. Tavelli, the principal of the college (ex-officio), the associate principal (ex-officio), Mrs Barbara Creighton (bursar).

"The whole community must accept some responsibility for the deprivation in Toxteth and for failing to react positively to the many reports and forewarnings issued in these last years," the bishops said. Accepting the church's share of that responsibility, they said: "This responsibility will not be discharged by our merely shouting louder the beliefs and values which are most important to us and to other Christians. If they had learned anything through their years in Liverpool it was that they had to listen before they spoke, and listen especially to those who felt shut out from circles where decisions were made. "On all sides it is now admitted that there have been bad relationships and long-standing mistrust between police and community," they continued. "In its concern for justice and peace the church is called to be amongst the reconcilers. That is sometimes an extremely painful position.
CRY FOR APPRECIATION
From the police we hear a cry for appreciation of the increasingly difficult task they have to carry out on behalf of the whole community. "It is a situation which demands from the police a higher level of discipline than ever before. "From the local communities in Toxteth we hear different voices. There is a determined and angry cry about police harrassment. There is also a widespread call for adequate police protection against crime. "Both these voices must be heeded as expressing authentic feelings. But we must also be sensitive to the silent voice of so many who suffer acutely from the fears and insecurity of these days." "While the -need td" respond to all these feelings and protests is urgent, attitudes do not change overnight," the bishops said. There will be a need for mutual restraint while practical measures are worked out. Meanwhile the bishops welcomed the proposals to develop community policing and to put more policemen back on the beat where they can know people and be known. With other church leaders the bishops said they were ready to respond positively to the request to establish a legal advice and aid center in Toxteth. "On all sides we need attitudes of reconciliation rather than revenge," the bishops said. "Bridge-builders require perserverince and courage, because others seek to outflank them to show how much tougher they can be."

Parkinson's first guest on Saturday ( September 5) at 7.30pm on Channel Seven is Flo, the wife of the Queensland Premier Joh BjelkePetersen. Flo Bjelke-Petersen has been the focal point for political writers and the brunt of many a cartoonist's jibes. She is now a senator, and how she achieved that position has been a continual subject for both the mockers and those who see her as a powerful political figure in her own right. Beneath the exterior of being Australia's favourite Mum lies a politicallyaware brain and the right kind of charisma that has aided her husband in many o f his own political decisions. They are both now as much part of the Australian political scene as some of this nation's greatest leaders.

He made a camp under a wild fig tree and then lived off the land . . . he shot wild cattle, wallabies and school sharks. He supplemented his diet by digging yams and eating wild berries. He could not walk out of the country because he faced a 100-mile hike across country that held no fresh water.
He had decided to wait for the October wet season and then walk out and follow the water holes until he reached civilisation. Eight weeks later he was still camped on the river under the fig tree when he heard voices and bells attached to a string of horses being driven to a cattle station. There was nobody more s uprised than Luke McCall, the stockman, and his three drovers, Aborigines who had asked McCall to travel through this part of the country so
Where Flash Gordon is concerned, the audience loves the kind of action that has added words like "zap" a nd "pow" to our vocabulary.

Little Orphan Annie has been nine years old for 52 years, and in that time has been a star in newspapers, comics, movies and now on Broadway. In the case of Star Wars, Hollywood created the heroes who inspired new comic books for a new generation of readers. Star Wars revived for today's audiences the spirit of adventure and romance that was born in the comic books and lives on in those heroes in that galaxy far, far away.

The Intellectually-Handicapped
MONICA SEES AN ENORMOUS NEED It's very difficult for parents to cope with the bringing up of children under normal circumstances — but even more so when a child is handicapped and there is no professional service to provide parents and children with assistance and guidance. "When my son was six he was admitted to a special class run by the Crippled Children's Society. The E ducation Department wouldn't accept him, because according to their assessment he wasn't suitable — but they offered no alternative," Monica reflected.
Monica NIcGilliNra (nee Smith) was born in Fremantle. She attended Sacred Heart, Highgate, and later learnt shorthand and typing at Stotts Business College. In early Depression years she worked as a shorthand/typist for the Department of Industry. During this time she completed her Leasing at Perth Technical School. After getting a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Diploma of Education, she taught at Leedery ille and East Victoria Park primary schools. Electrical contractor David McGilliv ray married Monica in 1938, and they had four children — one ho is intellectually handicapped. In 1951 she became a foundation member of the Slow Learning Children's Group and has held the position of education officer, administrative officer, v ice-president and member of the board and executive council. She was also senior clinical co-ordinator at Irrabeena, and is a member of the Catholic Care for Intellectually Handicapped Committee.
"My son never really fitted into the class run by the C rippled Children's Society, but he did benefit greatly from the special school he later attended. This was established by the SLCG and then taken over by the Education Department.

Mission attacked
K AMPALA, Uganda (NC) — Ugandan soldiers killed 55 people and wounded 100 when they attacked a Catholic mission station in northwestern Uganda, according to a Red Cross worker at the scene. Basic information about the attack came from an International Red Cross worker at the mission who talked with reporters in Kampala via radio. The mission is run by the Verona Fathers, an Italian missionary order. The Red Cross worker said the attack had been preceded by shooting in the vicinity between the troops and guerrillas loyal to deposed dictator Idi Amin. Because of the recent fighting, about 10,000 people had taken refuge in the mission, the worker added. Other officials involved in relief work said all the victims were Ugandans. They said about 30 relief workers were at the mission when the attack took place. "It's a mess up there," one relief official said. The government had no immediate comment about the events. Western diplomats in the capital of Kampala speculated that the soldiers had suspected the mission was harbouring guerrillas.

Topical group The Hamersiey YCW recently restarted as a group, where our aims are to be representatives of our parish and community, as members of the YCW. To present to our group the ideals of the Movement, and so be able to work together in our own family, social and working lives as Christians. Our meetings on Sunday nights consist of a topic of interest to all young people. Last week we discussed relationships with our parents, and how Christ related to his parents. The social side of the YCW is to promote the feeling of freedom among the members, to meet people within our own parish, and from other YCW groups also. As young people starting out in the world, there is a need for us to discuss and assess our problems as Christians, and as ordinary people striving for a future for all people, in our present world.

R eflection by YOUTH WORKERS Lourdes pilgrim SACKED BY GOVT. The saddest result of last week's budget was the termination of funds for the Cornmunity Youth Support Schemes.
Of the many bases throughout Australia, elle one I know best is called "The Youth Place", situated at 440 William Street, Perth where the two full-time workers, Pauline Deans and Doug R obertson were sacked by the Government last week. "The Youth Place" received 25 unemployed Y oung people each day; over 700 youth pass through its doors each month. A young unemployed person by coming, is given new hope in finding a job. I have known young people who have had as many as 273 refusals of employment. Young unemployed at "The Youth Place" are helped to prepare for job applications and interviews. The unemployed people are encouraged to make constructive use.of their time and not waste it by wandering the streets. They are provided with the means of improving their skills and learning new ones. Each week a bus takes unemployed youth to Gidgiegannup where they take part in a wide range of activities under the supervision of Mr Bill Mangini. He has provided the facility of a registered factory workshop which contains sophisticated equipment ranging from computers to metal and wood machines. Last month 35 unemployed youth were assisted in finding jobs after an average of only eight weeks unemployment. The national average of time unemployed is 28 weeks. _ The Centre may have saved the Government 700 weeks of Unemployment Benefits, a cool
$35,000 in one month, from one CYSS project. We cannot even begin to put a value on the emotional and spiritual support that the scheme provides. While the Government funds pay for the wages of two committed workers, Pauline and Doug who work more than a 40 hour week and often put in as many as 60, (the extra voluntarily we probably fail to realise that Pauline and Doug have not worked alone. I am told that as many as 3,500 volunteers have freely given up their time and professional services. People such as teachers, social workers, doctors, lawyers, but most important, hundreds of young people who have visited and made friends with unemployed youth in need of support, have been part of the project we know as CYSS. In sacking Pauline and Doug, who have been the mainstays and pivots of one successful CYSS project centre, perhaps we can also say that the Government is removing the chief facilitators for you people helping one another and the community at large responding to a problem. Young people have begun writing to politicians and whatever happens,Ibelieve youth can help themselves. Jesus was a young man who started with a group of young men and women. Let's not be deceived by their beards (like those of the apostles) but believe in the goodness of youth and encourage our politicians to do the same.
