"The sacredness of life is being destroyed because we are afraid to feed one more child, to clothe one more child, to educate one more child because I want one more car, one more television set, one more enjoyment, one more anything," said Mother Teresa of Calcutta in the Entertainment Centre last Friday night. "We too are precious to Him; "The child must die so that I may have. The cry we are not just a number, not of the little one is contin- come just to fill a place in the ually forgotten," said world.

Mother Teresa said that there is no-one so unwanted today as a little unborn child. She cited the tenderness with which God speaks of these little ones in scripture: "I have called you by your name; you are mine . . . Water will not drown you, fire will not burn you. I will give up nations for you. You are precious to Me.I love you." "This is what God says of life that he has created in His own image and so it is very remarkable we too have been created for the same purpose, with the same love, and concern," Mother Teresa continued.

so beautiful, so pure."

Mother Teresa referred further to Scriptures that speak beautifully about life: "Even if a mother could forget the child of her womb, I will not forget you. I have caught you in the palm of My hand "When God looks in His hand, he sees you and me," Mother Teresa continued. "One resolution we must make is never to allow a single unborn child to be unwanted in this beautiful city of Perth. "We owe that little unborn child a deep gratitude because we read in Scripture that God loved that child so much that

(Continued Pg. 3) The renowned Mother Teresa, of the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, made her first extendedpublic visit to Perth last weekend and r eceived wide recognition through press, radio and television interviews. Conspicuous at all times during the interviews were the rosary beads which played continually through her fingers as can be seen during the interview pictured right.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL

An unborn child has its rights It must be quite clear that the unborn child has rights. Whatever they may be, and at what point they begin, may well be the subject of debate; but their existence is undeniable. Our common law has already recognised this and our health and social welfare systems have given real meaning to it.

A saving of "dead" child

More than 230 delegates attending the Right to Life Convention in Perth were told by their guest speaker, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, that an aborted baby she had saved some years ago was now a healthy boy named Charles. She said that she and her Sisters had told the hospitals, abortion clinics, and the police, not to destroy aborted babies which had survived the operation but to give them to her. Another woman she had led from the operating table in a hospital just before an abortion had returned to thank Mother Teresa for preventing her from proceeding with the abortion. She had given birth to a boy. Mother Teresa said that she had been praying during the weekend for guidance on what she should advise the delegates. What she emphasised in her three talks to the Convention was the need for love — love for the unborn, the handicapped, the unwanted, and the poor. Cutting short her final address, she suggested it might be more beneficial for the delegates to join her in silent prayer, rather than listen to anything she might say. "Love,begins in the family" was the message of her final talk to the delegates. In other talks the Reader in Pathology at the University of Adelaide, Dr E.G. Cleary, told the Convention that those who are pushing for euthanasia were attempting to confuse the community. He said that they used words such as "mercy killing" and "passive and active euthanasia". But first there was to be so-called "voluntary" euthanasia, then involuntary euthanasia and finally, they would aim for it to be compulsory. Anglican priest Father John Fleming of Adelaide told the delegates that the Right to Life movement was not the preserve of only the Catholic Church; a cross-section of the community was involved in the Right to Life movement. All Right to Life Groups must maintain a broad community membership if they wished to obtain majority community support.

"If even small local branches of RTL go to the churches and use them as the pulpit to get the RTL issues across then the proabortionists are absolutely right in that particular criticism. "Right to Life has to be autonomous and ask for support from all sorts of people but not expect such people to lead the work. Mrs Egan said the convention was remarkable for the diversity of people who attended and the distances they had travelled, some from Mackay and Darwin and remote parts of Western Australia.

A bortion was not so much the destruction of life as a direct blow against God, Mother Teresa told the convention of Right to Life Federation. She said she was amazed to read recently of a mother being gaoled for killing her child yet nobody is gaoled for the millions of unborn children who are killed. She said that she told a recent gathering of doctors in America that she would put every such doctor in gaol. "I wonder how mothers and doctors are not afraid to meet God," Mother Teresa said. "Even non-Christians know that life has something to do with God, that life is created by Him and that we have to love and respect it. "We are working with the

Perth had to wait for an extended close-up experience of Mother Teresa so her visit has occurred at a more seasoned period in the history of her Missionaries of Charity who have fanned out into 400 centres around the globe that include places like Fitzroy, Bourke and Katherine. For those who met or heard her, it was not so much a discovery as a verification of the presence of God's love and concern that she manages to radiate everywhere. The Mother Teresa of 1981 has moved beyond the phenomenon that moved a cynical Muggeridge or the frail woman who was suddenly showered with the Nobel Prize and a succession of philanthropic awards. Popular pre -occupation with her work in Calcutta and other Indian slums suffers a setback when she stresses the other areas of unwantedness that exist even in affluent surroundings whether among Florida's prostitudes or Rome's outcast women for whom she squeezed a house out of Pope John Paul The teeming poverty of Calcutta probably represents the utter hopelessness and despair of Western capitalism and materialism that cannot bear to think of the problem let alone solve it. Mother Teresa's approach is therefore even more disarming as she relentlessly preaches her message that the only lasting solution is the appreciation of God's gift of life and love. She is minus the anger, indignation and posturing that is often substituted for concern. She wants to re-organise no-one's life, unless through love. She has no vendetta against the rich. She is not point scoring off the Indian or other civic authorities. Her young congregation is not an action reform group andproves only that over 2000 years, men and women have been raised up to strike out in new paths for the sake of Christ. She is least of all a reproach to the Catholic Church which numerically makes scarcely a dent in the predominantly Hindu subcontinent but whose presence in education, health and welfare is a vital part of that country. It is even a sign of love within the Church that some can feel less than comfortable at her image, as when a group of American women religious recently wondered out loud o ver the excessive adulation heaped on this saintly woman. It would be short-sighted and superficial praise for Mother Teresa — and she wouldbe the last to seek it — that overshadows the feelings and achievements of hundreds of thousands of other heroic men and women. They too are apostles who have stood by the ignorant, the poor, the leprous; who are being murdered for doing so in Africa and Central America; who have received no thanks for standing by Australian Aborigines for a century, or at the bedsides of our own sick and dying.

He mentioned the heroes of the Catholic Church as Cardinals Wyszynski and Mindzenty. He should take note of the fact that they were living under regimes which are professing full religious freedom and all human rights, yet they had to fight and suffer for those. Nor does he appear to know that anybody who goes to a church on Sunday in the communist world is automatically regressed to work on a pick and shovel, farm labour or as a factory floor worker. For such people and their offsprings there is no room in offices, business, schools etc., nor in the communist party the opportunity to participate in the government of their country. A segregation par excellence. No Catholic should ever wish to see the use of nuclear arms. Yet even as Catholics do we truly follow the teaching of our Lord or give the example that we ought to? While the U.S.A. has had the nuclear monopoly it did not use it indiscriminately or else the Soviet Union would be off the map. If Stalin had the early advantage of atomic weaponry the world politcal situation would be different nowadays.

Mr Daniel William Carney, accountant and musician, was born in Perth in 1934, and was one of five children in the family of a railway worker. He was educated at Victoria Square convent, St Patrick's Boys' School and CBC Perth before joining the Western Australian Government Railways as a junior clerk at the end of 1949. After nine years with the WAGR, during which he studied accountancy, he worked for public accountancy firms and for two years was employed by a finance company. He started his violin studies at the age of six and from then has played the instrument continuously in a distinguished musical career that has included playing with the WA Symphony Orchestra, and his present position as leader of the WA Arts Orchestra. He and his wife Joan (nee Prindiville) have a daughter and three sons ranging in age from nine to four years, and he is a former member of the Kalamunda parish council.

The conference is being held at a time when humanity is asking ever more searching questions about the value, significance and use of atomic energy and its consequences not only for the present time, but also for the generations to come.

Monsignor Mario P eressin, permanent representative of the Holy See to the International A tomic Agency, r ecently addressed the 25th regular session of the general conference in Vienna. The text of his speech appears on this page.

Twentieth-century man has succeeded in producing atomic energy, and in his hands he now has the great but frightening power of either improving the world he lives in or of destroying the whole of humanity. Man has greater power than ever before over the forces of nature: Will he be able to control that very power or will he be dominated by it as by some sort of demonic force? This is the fundamental question that many people are asking today. The annual report of the International Atomic Energy Agency for 1980 indicates that the total installed nuclear capacity in the world increased by about 11 per cent. This development in the exploitation and various applications of nuclear energy has been greeted by some as a great step forward, others however do not agree. The uncertainties and doubts and even the open hostility manifested in certain quarters have forced some governments to cut down, to suspend or at

least to slow down the expansion of nuclear power plants. The use of nuclear energy even for beneficial purposes alone is not immune from certain doubts stemming from the very nature of this energy. The debate is rendered even more complex by interpretations that not only differ but also diverge. Some people, on the basis especially of ecological considerations, would like to bring nuclear technology into the general process of modern science and technology.

Others ask whether it is really a good thing that man should use all the possibilities that science reveals to him; they wonder whether it would not be better, in order to safeguard higher ethical and humanistic values, to renounce the use of these possibilities, either outright or at least until there has been a complete clarification of all their effects and consequences. The debate about nuclear energy perhaps shows more

acutely than any other areas of debate the uncertainty and the bewilderment of a society that is scientifically and technologically advanced, but which is not sure what criteria to adopt and what use to make of its knowledge, discoveries and power.

without ordinary people really taking part and being accurately informed, one cannot expect people to give their consent and still less to offer that solidarity needed for the carrying out of options as important and full of consequences as the development of nuclear energy. Since the questions are so The more one reflects on the complex, the present debate demands to be tackled on a information that the agency has w orldwide scale, on the basis of given to us, the more convincrigorous scientific research with ing is the argument that the alert awareness of the human search must continue, the scienvalues involved and with tific exchange must go on, the responsible political orienta- advance in our mutual knowledge about the uses, the safety, tion. the capacity of nuclear fuel The debate likewise calls for must be continued.

Peaceful use of nuclear energy This agency, through its many programmes, through the activities of its scientific experts, through its setting of standards and enforcement of safeguards, it contributes in so many ways to ensuring that nuclear energy is placed at the service of humanity and of the international community in ways that are peaceful and safe and that promote human well-being. This activity will be seen to be of capital and decisive importance for the good of humanity, for the service of the developing countries and for the establishment of an international security system, if the IAEA can convince the international community and public opinion that it has the competence, capacity and means of conducting, developing and controlling the safe, efficient and peaceful use of nuclear energy.

The IAEA has drawn up and is For human life is in itself and carrying forward a programme per se a good of such value that aimed at ensuring that the it cannot be compared or put on exploitation and application of the same level with economic nuclear energy does not involve interests or advantages, howunacceptable risks. ever noteworthy.

The agency has the responsibility of clearly establishing that the nuclear power plants constructed in the various countries for the peaceful use of atomic energy are used only, and could be used only, for the said peaceful purposes. The smallest possibility that the safeguard system administered by the agency is not foolproof and the slightest suspicion that a non-nuclear weapon state could — contrary to the provisions of an obligations under the Nonproliferation Treaty — acquire nuclear weapons to the detriment of its neighbours, would be disastrous for the whole future of the system set up by the said treaty. On the other hand, if the safeguard system controlled by the agency is beyond all reasonable doubt, no state should be per-

mitted, on whatever allegations and invoking whatever national interests, to make a military attack on another state, destroying human lives and industrial installatidns. The Holy See can only appeal to all states to remain, by their actions, within the limits dictated by reason and by the need for stable peace in the world, according to the norms established by the Charter of the United Nations and by the other institutions of the international community. On the crucial matter of nuclear weapons it must be noted that today we are living in an international climate different from the cautiously optimistic climate prevailing after the signing of the Tlatelolco Treaty for the proscribing of nuclear arms in Latin America (1967) and the adoption of the Nonproliferation Treaty (1968).

A number of observers today are of the opinion that the present international instruments are insufficient or inadequate for stopping the development of nuclear weapons and no longer represent an effective stimulus for disarmament and peace. Dr Eklund, the director general of the IAEA, last year expressed the hope that there would be "an early conclusion of a comprehensive test ban

treaty," which on the one hand would be acceptable to those countries that now refuse to join the Non-proliferation Treaty and, on the other hand, would put a brake on vertical proliferation. The Holy See is convinced of the need to overcome the present precarious situation of international relations based upon the balance of terror and the system of dissuasion, and looks decisively to negotiation for disarmament. The hitherto prevailing logic has not only slowed the nuclear arms race, but has brought about such a development of these weapons that they have become an oppressive burden on the conscience of humanity and an open affront to those suffering from underdevelopment and hunger. In the hands of a small number of leaders there is now the fear-

some capability of reducing our planet to a smoking desert, destroying in a flash everything great and sublime that the mind and heart of man have produced in centuries of civilisation and progress. There is no other rational and profitable path than that of disarmament and the banning of nuclear weapons by means of w orldwide agreements supported by effective guarantees. It could of course be objected that the history, both ancient and more recent, of attempts at disarmament has proved to be a series of illusions and delusions. This demonstrates a truth that is fundamental:

Treaties are not effective unless they arise from and are sustained by a sincere and real desire for peace, because in the final analysis the danger and threat come not so much from the weapons as from the one

who has them in his hand — man. Therefore, it is man, and groups and nations, that must abandon ideologies and myths of power and supremacy and be converted to a new order of international relationships based upon mutual respect, trust and collaboration. As John Paul II warned at Hiroshima: "The future of humanity depends, as never before, on our collective moral choices ... From now on, it is only through a conscious choice and through a deliberate policy that humanity can survive." In this spirit, the Holy See asks the IAEA to commit itself resolutely and actively to sustaining and, when appropriate, promoting initiatives aimed at overcoming present tensions and at putting an end to the threat of nuclear weapons, from whatever source.

Alexander Dumas' classic tale The Count of Monte Cristo, set in the flaming years of the Napoleonic era, has had millions of readers for more than 100 years. Dumas wrote the story simultaneously with his most famous novel The Three Musketeers, and while the story of Porthos, Athos and Aramis has been filmed more than 20 times, the equally-acclaimed story of Dantes is transferred to the screen for only the fifth time in Channel Nine's Sunday movie The Count of Monte Cristo at 8.35 pm. This version, made for television, closely follows the original story where Dantes (Richard Chamberlain) is betrayed by his supposed friends and unjustly sentenced to a living death in the notorious Napoleonic prison, the Chateaut d'IL After 14 years, he escapes from prison and sets about plotting vengeance on the three men who ruined his life. Tony Curtis and Donald Pleasance star with Richard Chamberlain as Danglars and Fernand Mondego, two sailor friends of Dantes whose jealousy of his new-found position as Captain causes them to create a nonsensical story of Dantes' loyalty to Bonaparte resulting in Dantes' subsequent imprisonment. Louis Jordan, who played Dantes in the 1961 version of the story, guest stars as the prosecutor De Villefort, and veteran actor Trevor Howard is Abbe Faria, who befriends Dantes in prison. Also starring in The Count of Monte Cristo, is Taryn Power, daughter of the late heart-throb Tyrone Power, as Vallentine De Villefort, daughter of the man responsible for Dantes' ordeals in the Chateau d'If.

A Rolf hit here soon

Simon Townsend's Wonder World has scooped the exclusive world premiere of R olf Harris' latest song recording. The afternoon current affairs show for younger viewers is the only television programme in Australia which actually films its own music stories on location, and during the course of this reporters often meet famous personalities. Recently reporter Alita Fahey was specially asked by Rolf Harris to film his latest single Oh Jimmy Johnson, a song RoJf completed earlier this year in England. On a flying visit to Australia, Rolf allocated only three days for publicity on the new single and one of those days was devoted entirely to a Wonder World film crew and Alita Fahey. The world premiere of the Rolf Harris film clip will be seen on Simon Townsend's Wonder World in the near future and viewers will find out what happened to a fellow (Jimmy Johnson) who sets out to buy a pet and ends up with a huge crab that runs riot in the local pub.

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.

An example is that a former parent, Mrs Dixie Gunning, has been taking speech lessons with each class for more than 15 years in a voluntary capacity.

At a recent walkathon for Kampuchea $2,000 was raised by the students. There are seven classes in the Queen of Apostles School, ranging from years one to seven. The school has about 220 pupils, girls and boys. This is the first year that they have had boys in all classes through to year seven. To
