A CTU abortion view condemned A rchbishop Goody said he had the explicit support of all the six Catholic bishops of Western Australia in saying that they are, "Not, just dismayed, but amazed that the ACTU has shown itself so favourable to free abortion on demand. "The Christian conscience of so many will be hurt and disturbed by this decision that it would seem that the secular zealotry of a s ection of the
Archbishop Goody, last week, issued a strong condemnation of the support given to abortion at the A CTU congress.
ACTU has overwhelmed their more complacent fellows. This will be the cause of a lot of bitterness and disunity among its r ank and file members.
"The population o f our schools throughout Australia is already falling, as will also the trade unions of the next generation. Thus an Australia, capable of being developed for the support of millions in plenty, is in danger of opting selfishly for personal gratification and the comfort of the few and disregarding the principles and rights of others when they become inconvenient.

SYDNEY — "As a bishop I would like to say that divorce is not a sin," said Auxiliary Bishop David Cremin to over 200 widowed, permanently separated and divorced men and women and many of their children at a Mass marking the third anniversary of the founding of Paulian Solo Parents. The Paulian Solo Parents association is the first Catholic organisation explicitly for the divorced to be established in this country. It was founded in 1978 with the blessing of Cardinal Freeman and his assistant bishops. It has since spread to every other State.
In grieving there was a need to deny it, to say it is all a dream, and not happening. Then anger — the past thrown up at us with all its hurts. There was a need to let the anger out and share the hurts and sense of failure with others. Then the bargaining, asking God or someone, to take it all away. Then depression at the loss of the security. God came across, Bishop Bishop Cremin spoke of Cremin said, as "mean in the expectations with people's minds" because he which people entered marapparently lets us down — riage, the desire that it be a or maybe his representacovenant in which they tives let us down. supported each other, The bishop referred to r ather than a mere two points about the Jesus contract.

Secondly Bishop Cremin continued, Jesus had an uncontrollable urge to seek the disabled, the exiles, people suffering, and he had a special predilection to help people who needed setting free from hurts.
'Continue with sacraments let Jesus come in and help and heal the hurts.'

ORDER ACCORDED RECOGNITION
SYDNEY — This Thursday the Capuchin Order in Australia will realise a 200-year dream and be made a full independent province within the Order's laws and organisation.
Homes plan big growth ADELAIDE: Southern Cross Homes plans a more than $7m. expansion programme within the next three years.
Chairman, Mr Peter Taylor, said this at the opening of the new Southern Cross Homes hostel, Mount Carmel, at Rosewater. Mr Taylor said SC Homes is planning two major new programmes. One at North Plympton will cost somewhere between $5 million and $6 million. The other, at Largs Bay, will cost about $2.8 million. "At Largs Bay we are planning a 100-bed hostel, a $ 130,000 chapel within the complex and a day centre," he said. "This will be in addition to what is already going on there now. "A 70-bed hostel is under construction in Wigley Street, Largs Bay, at the moment. "We have applied for permission for another 40 nursing beds at North Plympton," he said. "As well there will be additional hostel and independent living units."

Genazzano claims the picture from the eventful day Scanderberg, the defender of Scutari, hoped on his of April 25, 1467, when the townsfolk flocked to see a picture that had appeared remarkably on the wall of death that no harm would befall the picture of Our Lady of Good Counsel to which he was much devoted. Two men, Giorgio and De Selavis, forced to flee from Scutari, made their last visit to the shrine and reportedly saw the image, enveloped in cloud, disappear across the sea. Later when they reached Rome they heard reports of a miraculous image at Genazzano and found there the fresco that had once adorned the wall of their church in Scutari. The surroundings of the church have been altered three times since that date but the paper thin plaster fresco has remained intact and its colours undimmed.

Question about bishop's stand on new bomb
A PRIEST'S VIEWS UNDER ATTACK
There is no evidence to prove that the socalled unwanted pregnancies are the result of insufficient contraceptive knowledge or materials. But there is plenty of evidence that many women of today, andmoreso their male partners, no longer care what happens as the result of their sexual activity. It will take the A CTU a long time to deal with that subject. The decision last week is a blow to many men and women in the union movements who see social justice and true respect for life as real goals for which Christians must join men of good will in industrial struggles. The abortion wave will be turned back not simply by sloganeering, by asking for more and more statements from church and other leaders, or by individual stands of union leaders or politicians. It will require ordinary men and women to articulate in their own homes, to their children, their neighbours and workmates their respect for their sexuality, fertility and married love. For the present the plotters of radical change know they have bluffed the majority into silence. •

Not long after he had established his accountancy and management consultancy business in Perth in 1964 John Lazberger realised that computers, then relatively new, offered him an opportunity to set up a computer bureau to provide a service for other businesses. So he established Data Processing of Australia Pty Ltd, which today has come a long way from its humble beginnings. It performs a variety of functions for its clients, but it has three main activities.

Flapper received a As a special bedtime real surprise at bed- treat, Jenny read the book time recently. When t o Flapper twice before he it came to story-time, went to sleep. Flapper was delighted to see a drawing of himself on the cover of the book with a little message r eading 'To Dear Flapper.' The book was made by grade two students from Carine Primary School who recently paid a visit to Channel Nine for a tour of the studios. While here, they had the added pleasure of meeting Flapper, Jenny, and Crummy Chris. Each student wrote Flapper a letter accompanied by a picture of something they had seen on their tour. Flapper was obviously the highlight of their visit as the cuddly blue elephant featured prominently in each of the 31 drawings. • Channel Nine children's character Flapper shows one of the drawings in the book prepared by grade two, Carine Primary School students. His friend Jenny read the book to him twice at bedtime.
