Father Barry will take up his new position in February, 1982.

Ordained in 1959, Father Barry has become an a ccomplished scripture scholar and lecturer having studied at the Rome Biblical Institute and at Jerusalem and Washington. Before taking up his appointment he will lead a study tour to Jerusalem.

Pope shows gratitude A DELAIDE: Mr Brian Moylan (pictured below), Austral-an representative on the Vatican Council for the Laity, recently told Pope John Paul that his encyclical letter On Human Work has a lot of messages for Australia.

essence of the Church's contemporary teaching on marriage. After Mass the group adjourned to the parish centre for a wine and cheese evening. The Mass of marriage renewal was the result of a suggestion by Father Beyer to the marriage preparation committee which uses t he Brisbane course "Before You Say:IDo" for a five-night programme in parishioners' homes.

FAILURE OF PLAN "After more than two years of helping young people gain work experience, the Voluntary Youth Programme run by the Society of St Vincent de Paul is on the point of collapse," said Fred Preshaw, state president of the society. "It has been impossible to find sufficient people to manage the scheme with the result that unless two or three people come forward immediately it will have to close. This will be a major pity for those people leaving school in the next couple of months and looking for their first job." T o make matters worse, the co-ordinator of the programme has resigned and a young enthusiastic person is required to work in this position. As the person's salary and other programme expenses are met by the Federal G overnment, it is unfortunate the scheme must be abandoned for lack of interest. The matter will be raised at the meeting of society presidents on Monday (November 2) and if it is not resolved the scheme will close.

Rehce ord While there are far more serious and more contentious litigations in the field of consumer protection, the anguish of the consumer's heart must have reached a high point in last week's story on compensation for an unsatisfying acne medication. Singer Pat Boone and daughter Debby will have to shell out 21 cents of the $8.26 compensation that 24,000 dissatisfied customers will receive, in the first case in which the US Federal Trade Commission has held the endorser of the product personally responsible for its claims. The irony of the story is that it could not have happened to a nicer person than Pat Boone, the all time pleasant personality whose inner radiance is all that freedom from acne is about. The issue is not acne which may be an unfortunate enough experience for the suffered but hardly one of humanity's major health crises. The real sufferer is the viewer who is hooked on television commercials, who has been drugged into expecting heaven on earth, and who realises that the box has failed to deliver the goods. Shattered are the hopes of happiness and personality that are promised to those who eat the right chocolates, wallow in a spa of bubbling cool drinks, wear the denim of the week and laugh their way through a thousand products at the bliss of the everlasting garden barbecue. Who will give us a refund on the happiness that failed to arrive? Like the net of the Roman gladiator much of today's electronic communication envelops and suffocates humanity with its incessant pounding of the consumer senses. It takes massive volumes of money to keep the television radio and press operating and the advertiser supplies a large part of that money extracted from the consumer at the retail check-out. Like babies whose taste buds are overstimulated by the salt and sugar to which we are harmfully addicted in later life, the ever increasing phony bliss of spending and comfort beckons endlessly on television, r adio and press and the advertising hoardings. Too much of modern advertising is bordering on the false religion and false gods against which the prophets railed and for which the gospel was written. The hopes of real happiness planted in the soul by God are attacked by an acne of the spirit and its cure needs more than a jar of questionable cream. Curiously, this is the message that gospel singer Pat Boone wants most to broadcast.

Stance on abortion WRITER'S from Mrs Winifred Egan, secretary, Queensland, Right to Life Association,

Sir, As apparently some concern has been registered with WA Right to Life A ssociation over my remarks reported in The Record, October 15, on the ACTU abortion decision, I would be grateful for the opportunity to clarify the statement.

The Right to Life Association opposes abortion and any laws which facilitate abortion. The ACTU motion simply stated the obvious, "that people have a legal right to what they have a legal right to." It did not commit the ACTU to campaign for an extension of the grounds on which abortion is presently available. What is more, nobody could use the ACTU decision against ALP politicians to force them to adopt a more permissive position on abortion. Thank you for your excellent coverage of the convention.

"We now have a definition of charism: A whole new way of reading the gospel. All we need to do is clarify that a little bit more. "If we believe God has redeemed us, it means He is taking care of us. We must listen and try to become better instruments of Him. There are signs that God is working well among us."

Bishop McKeon, of Bunbury, told the gathering that the rosary, called by Pope Pius XII and Paul VI "the summary of the whole gospel", is a prayer of praise and a continued plea to Mary to intercede for us sinners at every moment to the hour of our death. "The Holy Father's latest statement on the rosary is the best answer to those who speak of it as being out of date and monotonous repetition. "We might ask them what is repetitious about our thoughts and prayers surrounding the Annunciation when it is announced to Mary that she was chosen to be the mother of our Redeemer?

S I lit coins fire air ardour Today's People

1His descent I is through old family

A weekly feature By BOB BOYLE Mr Geoffrey Joseph Smith, a senior officer in the Department of Employment and Youth Affairs, was born at Collie and started his education at the small State school at Shotts near the centre of the WA coal mining industry. When his family of 12 moved to Perth he went to the Sacred Heart Primary School at Highgate and later to the Christian Brothers' High School in the same suburb. His first job was as a messenger boy for an agent for women's foundation garments and he worked at Aherns for some time before joining the wartime R AAF in 1942 in which he was a wireless air gunner in Catalinas in the South-West Pacific area. He acheived the rank of flight-lieutenant and was first a squadron gunnery leader, later a squadron wireless leader, an instructor and after the war commanded several flights of the Air Training Corps. He and his wife Gwen (whose maiden name was also Smith) have two sons and a daughter whose ages range from 29 to 21. The family goes to the Bedford church in the Embleton parish.

Pratt and Whitney engine that had not failed the crew in their hours of dire need. When he ultimately returned to the squadron's Gulf of Carpentaria b ase, Damien was accorded a warm welcome by the other air crew members of the unit. "Well," he drawled as he accepted the proffered beer, "you fellows call yourself my friends, but the only real friends I've got are Mr Pratt and Mr Whitney."

Whirling When normal methods of engine starting failed, it was often Geoffs job to crawl up on to the wing of the Catalina to perform the hard work of handoperating the inertia starter motors of the engines. When both engines fired the whirling steel propeller blades were only about nine inches behind him as he made his cautious way down off the front of the wing and through the hatch into the hull. One slip on the often-wet wing and he would have been mincemeat. One extensive trip he did stretched from as far away as Manila, right round Australia with the many stops necessary and back to the squadron's base at Rathmines in New South Wales. "At just about every stop," he remembers, "I had to get up on the wing a nd hand -start the engines." Perhaps he does not share Damien Miller's warm appreciation of Messrs Pratt and Whitney — not for the starters at any rate.

raising activities for a number of Catholic institutions such as the Glendalough home, Clontarf a nd the Catherine McAuley Centre. The start of his interest in such work probably goes back to his early association with the YCW of which he was Highgate branch president and State publicity officer for the movement. One of his outstanding recollections of the latter post is an interview he did in Perth with the famous visiting Indian cricketer Lala Armanath for the LCY newspaper in Melbourne.

MUSIC HURT BY MODERN M ' ETHODS

Many changes have been attributed to the mass media, and Helen Warrener believes that the world of music has become a c asualty of electronics.

"Radio opened up another dimension for singers, but did not have the same impact as television. As a result of television, music has become visual as well as audio.

The outh scene this week

T wenty-three YCW leaders and Father John Jegorow, diocesan youth chaplain, attended a leaders' training camp at Faversham House, York last w eekend. Participants included national secretary, Helen Zielonka from A delaide. The theology of work, finance and recent history were the main topics discussed.

This State is the heartbeat of America, and it's still going strong. New York State covers an area of 49,576 square miles and ranks 30th among the states in order of size. More than half the people live in or around New York City, the largest city in the United States and one of the largest in the world. About 85 people out of every 100 in New York State live in cities and towns. Besides New York City (the big apples as we travellers call it), there are lots of little apples. Other great cities include Albany, the State capital, Buffalo, R ochester, Syracuse, Y onkers and Niagara Falls. About one-sixth of t he population of the State was born outside the United States. They include people of Italian, German, Irish, Russian, Polish and Puerto Rican origin (sort of like a big bag of licorice allsorts you might say). New York State is the industrial and business centre of the United States. Its most important industries includes clothing, electrical machinery, food processing, printing and publishing. The harbour of New York City is the leading seaport in the United States. Buffalo, on Lake Erie, has b ecome increasingly important as a port since the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway in 1959. New York State has been the 12

'The teacher eventually has to have a systematic and fairly complete grasp of the basic message of Christ to the Church.'

NEED STRESSED TO EXPLAIN CATHOLICISM

Norbertine Father Alfred McBride believes there are seven clear goals to be pursued in the formation of a truly mature teacher in a Catholic school. In an interview in Perth last week he explained the goals as follows.

Norbertine Father Alfred McBride of the St Norbert Abbey in De Pere, Wisconsin, USA, for seven years was the director of religious education in the Department of Religious Education of the National Catholic Educators Association in Washington DC.

Ministry of the Church The Catholic school is a ministry of the Catholic c hurch and if the teachers are not Church people then the school fails because they do not see themselves as ministers of the Church. The bonding is first of all as a community, as a people of God. Whatever the school can do the more the teachers will be bonded to the Church. They will have an esprit de corps of being Catholics; they will have Catholic pride. This the teacher will have first in a community and then in a high regard, which can be critical, of the Church as an institution because a c ommunity needs an institution as an underpinning. There is still an anti-institutional residue in society that occurs also in the Church. If culture is antiinstitutional, then the Church becomes anti-institutional also. Twenty years ago the conclusion of

Vatican II was accompanied by an alienation from the institution of the Catholic church and this shows up in our teachers, students and parents. We find alienated Catholics teaching in Catholic schools. For that reason there should be some one like a campus minister who can sit down with that person and say: 'What are you mad about? Tell me about it' to allow the alienation to come out, to accept it, to see where the anger is, to say: 'Let us take your anger!. Henry Nouwen in his book The Wounded Healer points out that we should permit ourselves to be wounded by others in order to heal that person. A third consideration of this bonding is the heritage of the Church. It is very important that a Catholic teacher become aware of the history of the Church, its shapers and movers; to become a cultivated Catholic for whom the community takes care of the present, the heritage takes care of the past and for whom the institution takes care of the future because it is the institution that provides the future.

work, they once again gather their forces and commit themselves once again to Christ. Erikson's identity crisis is a way of looking at it. In an identity crisis The administration should provide there is an identity gained or an identhis opportunity in the school such tity lost; we hope there is an identity as retreats, days of reflection, gained and a growth in personal liturgy, shared prayer, deep partici- development. pation in the high points of the life of If that occurs at the age of 35 or 45 the Church such as Lent and in the teacher's life we would like to Advent. These should all be on an be sure there is an opportunity for annual basis so that the teachers their spiritual life to catch up with themselves get in touch with God. their personal life. We should not be pressing people to We would not want a teacher with a things so much as giving them the 50-year-old personal growth to have opportunity. At a new stage of their only a 25-year-old growth in their development, as they get old in their spiritual life.

God must be the guide Evangelisation in the broad sense means the teacher turning to God in his or her personal life. We have to try to help them constantly to get in touch with their relationship to God, to say "yes" to Christ.

Relevance and meaning of Christ If in evangelisation the teacher has said "yes" to Christ, in catechesis we ask him to say "yes" to the relevance and meaning of Christ. Here we are taking up the question of religious education content. The teacher eventually has to have a systematic and fairly complete grasp of the basic message of Christ to the Church. This involves a sufficient grasp of the Church's vocabulary, of the code words of the Church, and the ability to engage in discussion, to talk like a Catholic, to think like a Catholic and to be able to do this at an ever

deepening level. Many teachers in our schools are truly wonderful people but they don't seem to be able to talk about and explain Catholicism so even the ecumenical and faith aspects become meaningless because they don't even know their own religion first. These could have come from colleges which did not prepare them. who may not have attended a Catholic school, or who may be religious who have not up-.dated themselves. They have a Catholic literacy but it is a Vatican I instead of a Vatican II style. There is also a need to provide teachers with an opportunity to clar-

Prime necessities for teachers

ify values and to install a capacity for moral and value dialogue. Many may not be teaching religion and be under the impression that all religion is taught in the religion class. In a true Catholic school the whole curriculum relects the values of Christianity. The school administration has to provide through seminars and the like, the opportunity where teachers are encouraged to tell what are the moral issues that arise in that particular subject, not that they be told but that they be drawn to tell. Eventually a syllabus can be drawn up that points out the moral values that could be discussed in a particular subject less. The student will then emerge from the school with the idea that religion and life do go together.
