A brother in service

VATICAN CITY: Pope John II has returned to Rome aul P a nd spent his first official day, last Sunday, in a busy round of activity. He is keeping a close watch on the Polish situation. He was in a private meeting with the new archbishop of Warsaw, Archbishop Glemp, w hen he was advised of the sudden resignation of communist party chief Stanislaw Kania and his replacement by General Jaruleski.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Record The increasingly common practice of referring to road deaths only in terms of the year's total is turning into an exercise of deception and emotional exploitation. As long as even one person kills either himself or another, it is one death too many a nd a crime that is being shrugged off far too easily. If people attacked, maimed and killed each other on the open footpaths the way human animals are doing it in their metal boxes, there would be horrendous public outrage. There has been a marked decrease this year in road deaths compared with last year but are we merely going through an imaginary academic exercise of trying to balance a budget of life? It is also becoming a rather ghoulish and exploitative point scoring exercise. On two recent weekends when there have been an unusual number of fatalities, it has signalled not a call for serious study why such deaths occur but only the familiar drumbeating about the effectiveness of the Road Traffic Authority and the need for increased government expenditure. It is a bluff to measure road deaths only in terms of the money spent on the RTA, Main R oads Department, or any other agencies. No-one will deny any of these groups the natural human wish to take some credit for lessening deaths. We should be especially slow to deny that satisfaction to the police who are given the thankless task of maintaining standards many would like to abandon. R oad victims are dying, it is said, by accident, as though some uncontrollable hand of fate pushes them into these death dealing situations. It is too felicitious a phrase, too easy off the l ips. It passes the buck too easily, as if a road death is just a nother ho-hum lack of attention and concentration that can occur at any time. Facts suggest otherwise. Highly informed spokesmen are reporting continually that a substantial number of fatal smashes — more than half — involve excessive drinking. Another large group are driving vehicles when they are not physically capable either through illness or temporary exhaustion. One wonders why these facts from accident investigation are not more available to the public. It is farcical to talk of invasion of privacy when a road killer has ended not only his own life or that of others but has cost the community dearly in the hours spent by police, firemen and medical staff who go through the grisly task of shifting mangled bodies. The law in its present form is giving some miscreants the privacy to which they are hardly entitled. Whether they were caught by the RTA at the time or not, the death of the drink -affected driver is its own accusation and sheltering these clearly discernible details behind months and even years of technical legal hearings is an insult to the public intelligence if it is being asked to take road responsibility seriously.

RTL METHOD UNDER FIRE from Dorothy Broderick, Tuart Hill

Other speakers on euthanasia, disablement, church and state life issues, and medical and moral situations were all excellent. The only sour note was the attempt of a certain,priest and certain politician to use the visit of Mother Teresa and the convention to expose their political feelings. Anglican priest Father John Fleming, of Adelaide, pointed out that a crosssection of the community was involved in the Right to Life movement. Consequently let all those who value life, be they Catholic or otherwise, support the Right to Life organisations.

A NON-PARTY APPROACH from Dr T. Delaney, Bayswater.

This unbalanced attack is further illustrated by the

Sir, On March 18, 1979, when Mr. Lusher's motion on The Australian Labor Party's platform on abortion Premier being invited to speak on the same platform as reform is as follows, and I will quote it in full: "All Mother Teresa.

Not only was this action reprehensible but the presumption that a yes vote was pro-life and a failure to support a yes vote anti-life was untrue. It is actions like these which have cost Right to Life the support of people of good ethics. As a Catholic it upsets me that RTL officers have so readily discredited all who do not share their views.

Pioneer teachers set standard Do we take Catholic education for granted? I asked myself this question three years ago when, as one of three writers, I was invited by the Literature Board of the Arts Council, to visit more than 30 c ountry schools in the eastern wheatbelt and mining areas between Northam, Kalgoorlie and Kambalda. I was the only Catholic of the three. My subject was History as Literature. Naturally the response and attitude of the students varied from place to place, but at the end of the tour it was our considered opinion that the Catholic schools and colleges were second to none — after all, there is much more to education than the committing of facts to memory, and what a debt of gratitude we owe to the Sisters and Brothers for the high standard we see about us today. How did it all begin? Unfortunately, for those of an enquiring mind, the answer can be found in the two small volumes mentioned at the beginning of this article. Success Stories, by Rev. Monsignor John T. McMahon and Valiant Women, by Geraldine Byrne. Miss Byrne's excellent book, Valiant Women (the story of teaching by the Sisters of Mercy in Western Australia) has already been reviewed in a previous copy of The Record and deals with the arrival of the nuns in Perth 100 years ago. The other, Success Stories, by Monsignor McMahon, tells of more recent events, and at a cost of $3 is one of the best values for money I have known. The price tag gives little indication of the values to be found within the covers — short amusing biographies and reminiscences of well known personalities — the fascinating experience of four Perth university women graduates who were trained in the United States as our first social workers, and,

Catholics called THEOLOGIANS STILL DIFFER to witness new MASS FOR PRISONERS humani

PAOLI, Pa. (NC) — After three years of meetings, American Catholic and Lutheran theologians are still faced with basic differences over their understanding of the difficult theological issue of justification. "Augsburg (symbolic home of Lutheranism) and Rome are still far apart on justification," commented a Catholic participant after the meeting, referring to basic differences still remaining despite three years of efforts to reach a common understanding.

W ARSAW — Polish prisoners recently received permission from the nation's communist government to attend Mass o n Sundays and major feast days. A decree signed by the nation's justice minister in Warsaw also allows prisoners to have "the objects that they need for the practice of their religion." The decree calls for the celebration of Mass in each Polish prison on Sundays and six major holy days. Prisoners will be allowed to participate in the sacrament of reconciliation and to receive Communion. Previous decrees by t he government allowed religious ceremonies in state hospitals, sanatoriums and homes for the elderly.

He expressed the hope that in research which affects human beings, "there will be no fixation on anti-cultural positions that retard the progress of humanity, and that on the other hand there will be no attacks on man's most precious possession: the dignity of his person." Pope John Paul told the group studying parasitic diseases that its work should help to achiev,e "the development of man in the harmonious framework of his physical, economic and spiritual wellbeing." "The efforts to eliminate,as far as possible, the serious harm caused by parasitic diseases to a considerable part of humanity are inseparable from the efforts which should be made for the socio-economic development of those same peoples," he added. On the topic of nuclear warfare, Pope John Paul described himself as "the spokesman of the human right to justice and peace." He said he hoped the group's study would be for government leaders "a reminder of their tremendous responsibilities, and awaken in all humanity an ever more intense desire for concord and peace, a desire which comes from the most profound depths of the human heart, and also from the message of Christ who came to bring peace to people of good will."

THE PRAYER STAYS

Well-aimed water pistol shots wrought havoc on the cathedral organist, choir master and other targets of opportunity.

CHOIR BOYS WERE NOT ALWAYS CHERUBIM

One Saturday morning early in 1938 a nervous young alto named Joe Atkinson presented himself at the old St Patrick's Boy School for his audition for the St Mary's Cathedral Boys' Choir. The judge was the brilliant violinist and hard musical taskmaster, the late Father Albert Lynch, who formed the choir.

of opportunity. Lack of light is a theme common to several of Joe's anecdotes. Because of wartime blackout regulations, the choir had to sing in the cathedral at night with the aid of only two small lamps surmounted by jam tins. This led to a crowding together of the choristers as they struggled to read the music in the gloom and a series of unscheduled discords that did not please Father Lynch. There were occasional musical disasters, even in full light.

Anguish

Mr Joseph Atkinson is a valuer in the WA Valuer General's Office and a bass singer in the St Mary's Cathedral choir with which his association goes back more than 40 years. He was born at Leederville in 1928, started school at the Aranmore convent there and received the rest of his education at CBC Terrace, St Louis (now John XXIII) and St Charles Seminary at Guildford. He is the son of the late Mr Frank Atkinson, a well-known figure in the broadcasting world for many years through Radio 6IX. Frank gave his own second Christian name of Aidan to Joe after Aidan who is the patron saint of the north of England from which Frank hailed. Joe's mother Laura was a prominent organist and she still plays the piano at the age of 89. She was organist at St Patrick's church in Fremantle for years after she and her husband first arrived from England. Joe's sister Betty (Mrs Sullivan) is organist at St Denis church, Tuart Hill, and another sister, Mildred (Mrs McAdam), occupies the same position at the church of Our Lady of Good Counsel at Karrinyup. Joe and his wife Betty (nee Woodcock) have two daughters and two sons ranging in age from 22 to 16 and the family parish is Woodlands.

WARNING ON USING DRUGS

People who take pain-relieving tablets should preferably take those containing only one ingredient. Tablets and powders containing two or more drugs, taken regularly, are more likely to contribute to kidney damage. This warning has been issued in a r eport from the National Health and Medical Research Council. Copies of two of the Research Council's statements, Analgesic Drugs and Guidelines for Dispensing Analgesics to Children, have been reprinted in Western Australia by the Health Education Unit of the Public Health department. Copies are being distributed to schools throughout the state. "Per head of population, more pain-killers

are sold in Australia than in any other country, so it is most important that people should be well informed about them," cheif health education officer Mr Colm O'Deherty said today. "They are often given to children, so both parents and teachers play an important role in educating children about using them appropriately. "It is always best to try simple measures first — rest in a quiet room, for example, or a cooling drink. "When these measures ar enot enough, either aspirin or paracetamol — the two most commonly-

used analgesics —can be very effective in relieving headaches, toothaches, joint aches and pains, or reducing temperatures. "Taken as directed on the bottle or packet, they seldom cause side effects — although both are poisonous taken in very large amounts. "However tablets or powders containing both aspirin and paracetamol, or one of these with codeine, taken often over a period of years can cause serious kidney damage. "There should be no need to take them — the single-drug preparations are just as effective."

Council shirks youth plan decision again— at high cost to young This morning my heart aches and a drowsy numbness pains my senses as I think about the Armadale-Kelmscott Shire Council's deliberations on our proposed youth educational centre.

For the second time in two months the Council has deemed it fit not to recommend M.R.P.A. approval of our proposed development at Bedfordale, but has returned the proposal to its own town planning committee for further c onsideration, and has invited us to send a deputation to their c ommittee.

Channel Nine director Ian Monaghan takes the lead in the final heat of the recent WA Sprint Go-Kart titles.

The end of the road

An ice-cold beer recently marked the end of one month's intensive physical training for Channel Nine director, Ian Monaghan. Ian recently competed in the WA Sprint Go-Kart Titles at Cockburn International Raceway and after two days, five heats, 60 laps of the race circuit, and eight tyres, Ian was awarded second prize. According to Ian, racing a kart involves more than just knowing how to drive the machine around a track. "Kart racing is a really exhausting sport and you have to be in top physical condition if you want to be any good. After a race, especially a close race, you feel completely drained of all energy," he said.

For one month before the State titles Ian went on a special diet, worked out solidly at a gymnasium each day, and gave up his beer, so naturally the first thing he reached for after his last race was a nice cold can! Channel Nine is a major sponsor of Ian and his kart, supplying all tyres.

One set of tyres, costing 5200, is only good for three races and when you participate in five races a month it becomes an extremely expensive sport. Ian is now looking towards the 1982 National Go-Kart titles to be held in South Australia early next year. This year he came fourth in the titles, but

TUDOR HOUSE 286 ALBANY HWY., VIC. PARK 361 1539 361 1620

since then Ian has gained more expertise on the race track and hopes to improve his placing next year. "There is a lot of luck involved in motor sport, as Alan Jones can testify, so if luck is on my side I think I have a good chance of winning the Nationals,- Ian said. Kart racing is one of the main priorities in Ian's life and when he is not directing the News, children's shows, or 'Clapperboard', he is usually out on the track putting his kart and his own physical skills to the limit in an effort to improve his times with a view to the 1982 National titles and a far-off dream of Formula One racing!

THE PALLOTTINES Father John Winson speaks...

Pallottines are still meeting a need that's centuries old There is a more precise need for Pallottines since Vatican II because that - council said that people should be formed for apostolate and we do just that, we form people for apostolate. The need is there as it has been for centuries but while the theory of Vatican II is there, a lot of people implementing it. Out title is Society for the Catholic Apostolate (SCA) but we're popularly known as Pallottines and that is an acceptable name in Australia and people have known us as Pallottines for the last 80 years. The title Society of the Catholic Apostolate, more exactly expresses our objective to unite people for the apostolate of the Church. There was a new missionary wave in the Church in the early 19th century and our founder, Vincent Pallotti, thought these goals out in the 1830's and 1840's.

Apostolate What was distinctive about him was his stress that the layman should work alongside the cleric, alongside other members of the hierarchy, for the apostolate of the Church. At that time it was a new idea and he in fact met with quite a bit of opposition for voicing such an idea. I don't think it comes naturally to most laymen to be seen working alongside the priest because we have got a

wrong tradition of religious individualism whereby we see ourselves as related to God alone, "myself and God alone." All of us have to learn more and more that it is a case of "we" in the Church and this message is slowly getting across. For a start we would like to form families that are united, who would have an apostolate among other families.

Missions We would like youth to go out and work in missions; but they would only do that wen they would only do that when they've been given a vision of a Church which reaches out to others. Our arrival in the Kimberleys in 1900 was in response to an emergency situation. Bishop Kelly, of Geraldton, who then was in charge of the area wanted someone to take over the mission at Beagle Bay which had been suddenly evacuated by the Trappists. He went over to Europe to look for a Congregation and it was only the Pallottines who accepted the appeal. At the time the Pallottines were active in the African territories administered by Germany. The apostolate was flourishing in the Cameroons so there was a little bit of competition when Bishop Vieter

f

Vocations today A series presented in conjunction with the Religious Vocations Council of WA.

Father John Winson, S.A.C. of the Cameroons wanted all the men from Germany to go there. He put heavy pressure on the German province but the German superior was sufficiently broadminded to want to open up yet another area and so allowed some men to go to Australia. In the 1940's when the German missionaries in the Kimberley's found they were not attracting Australian vocations some went down to Melbourne and started a house there. Lay apostolate activities started in the late 1940's and early 50's and as a result a few Australian vocations appeared. Today we have a retreat house 50 miles out of Melbourne at Millgrove and we use it as a centre both for retreats and formation of the laity and as a youth formation centre. Technically, we are still a region dependent on the Ger-

man province but we have developed an Australian style and character. Today more than half our members in Australia are non-Germans. We conduct three parishes at Riverton, Broome and at Syndal in Victoria. Our other parishes at places like Derby and Wyndham are more like missionary centres. Yet even in our two metropolitan parishes we try to inculcate the missionary ideal and we believe we are forming the people there in a typically Pallottine way. At the Pallottine Centre Rossmoyne our work is on view as our dark brothers and sisters are being helped to discover their identity throught the opportunity for secondary and trade education. We have missions in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa, Tanzania, and Ruandaand India. Poland is a flourishing province at present.

Father John Winson, SAC, will shortly transfer from R iverton to Kew in his home state of Victoria where f ollowing his secondary schooling he studied for the Diploma of Pharmacy while serving an apprenticeship, with post graduate studies in pharmacy following in 1953. At the age of 25 he entered the diocesan Corpus Christ Collge, then at Werribee, and after four years joined the Pallottines in 1959 making his novitate in Sydney before continuing his studies at St Patrick's College Manly after which he was ordained priest in 1964. He worked first with Aborigines in WA before moving to the parish of Silverwater in Sydney where he was chaplain to several family groups. He was also a member of a committee of inquiry on Aborigines in Sydney at the time. For eight years he was assistant novice .master at Millgrove, giving retreats also to youth and adult groups. He became assistant priest at Riverton in 1978 and because of his involvement in the healing ministry was made a member of 1981 of the Association of Christian Therapists. He has published a CTS pamphlet Who is Jesus? and will soon see published a translation from the Italian of a book A Remarkable Roman — The Story of St Vincent Pallotti.

Wrong images barriers I think the only thing that stops a man from coming into the Pallottines probably the only thing that stops him entering the diocesan seminaries too, — is a wrong image of the Church and what the priesthood is, of what community life is in the Church is all about. „ The present Pallottine Provincial Superior, Father Allan Mithen, seen here with members of the Team at the Aboriginal Community Centre at Alexandria, Sydney, where for the last seven years he was Catholic Chaplain to Aborigines in the Archdiocese of Sydney.

PALLOTTINE Priests and Brothers

were founded by St. Vincent Pallotti, proclaimed by several Popes as the 'propF.etic 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.
