VATICAN CITY: Pope John Paul has criticised the political conscience of the Italian electorate which in a referendum last May rejected by a two-to-one vote restriction of Italy's abortion law. The Pope also said that Catholic social teaching goes beyond the shifting sands of political systems and ideologies.

In 1881 three men were born who would have a profound influence on the ecumenical direction of the Catholic Church. - Father Paul Couturier (1881 — 1953), author of the prayer used in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity; * Father (later Cardinal) Augustin Bea SJ (1881 — 1968), first head of the Vatican Secretariate for Christian Unity; * Giovanni Roncalli (1881 — 1962), later Pope John XXIII, prime mover of the Second Vatican Council which boosted Catholic effort in the ecumenical movement. To mark this centenary, the Perth archdiocesan Committee for Ecumenical Affairs will hold a service in the St Thomas More Chapel on Wednesday. November 25, Pope John XXIII's birthday. The homily will be given by Most Rev Dr Peter Carnley, Anglican Archbishop of Perth.

* * * a * * * * * * * * * *

While the attack centred on the most sacred area of any Catholic church it ought to be seen as an isolated incident and in the absence of further clues it does not warrant the bizarre complexion that some reports tried to pin on the event.

Sir, In recent controversial letters to these pages attempts have been made to interpret Father Jim O 'Brien's correspondence as an effort to gain support for one particular political party. I wish to state quite clearly that neither in public, nor to my knowledge in private, has he ever used his position to urge support for one particular party over another.

All churches would like to be seen as havens for prayer but fear that worse damage could befall unguarded buildings has forced the closing of many during the day. It is not a new problem. The massive doors, bolts and bars on older churches were not just ornaments and over the centuries marauders did not have sensitive consciences about desecration. Tabernacles are required to be substantial and secure but even here there are limits to what can deter a deliberately perverted attack.

Some 50 per cent of the Catholic population no longer visits a church even for Christmas or Easter. It can be easily calculated that a large segment of the population under 30 years of age have never been physically inside a church, save for an occasional wedding, let alone taken part in a service of prayer. Such sobering facts can only reinforce the truth that it is the living stones and not cold dead masonry that will win hearts to God.

With $60,000 damage to its parish church, Armadale parish has been able to press into temporary service the 1912 brick church which has been the parish hall for the past five years. Even so, Father Geoff heat damage to the interior Catholic buildings against Beyer, Armadale parish as well as water damage to such damage.

Fr. Boylan dies in Eire

Father James Boylan, of Claremont, who had been a priest of the archdiocese of Perth for 41 years, died on Tuesday in his native Ireland, aged 67.

During his recent trip home he suffered a recurrence of a cancerous condition that was detected during a former visit to Ireland four years ago. Both then and recently he was determined to return to Australia if at all possible and had made plans to travel next Friday. However, his condition deteriorated and a month ago he went to Lourdes as a stretcher patient. Born in Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan, Ireland, Father Boylan studied at St Patrick's College, Carlow, before his ordination to the priesthood in June, 1939. He arrived in Australia in September

the same year and was posted to Leederville where he was assistant priest to the late Monsignor Moloney till 1942. At the end of that year he was appointed priest in charge of Kondinin to replace the late Father Cyril Stinson who had taken up a military chaplaincy. He continued service in the country with his appointment in 1947 to Merredin where he remained for three years. In 1949 he began his 22-year term as parish priest of Rockingham during which time he saw the construction of a new presbytery in Harrison Street and a new church in Safety Bay. In 1971 he became parish priest of Claremont and became a firm friend of the Vietnamese and Timorese and other migrants who were billetted at the Graylands hostel. He is survived by his brother, Dan, who with his wife, Joan, paid several visits to Father Boylan in Australia. May he rest in peace.

from Bishop Quinn, auxiliary bishop, administrator of the archdiocese of Perth in the absence of Archbishop Goody

Publicity on the cathedral break-in overshadows the unreported but persistent acts of theft and vandalism that have plagued most metropolitan churches over the past decade, and which have gone far beyond raiding the collection boxes that were always considered to be fair game by the light fingered.

What many will fear is that these unfortunate traits are now compounded by a creeping secularism that no longer treats a church building as particularly sacred because what the building stands for is irrelevant to life.

POSITION ON RTLA

The vandal attack on St. Mary's Cathedral rightly attracted more than passing interest because it is the mother church of the archdiocese and is its most worthy building both in artistry and in affection by which it is held even by non-churchgoers.

Much of the damage to churches must be attributed to people with paranoid hatred, mental or emotional instability or criminal tendencies.

For the sake of the people he serves I want it known that Father O'Brien has the full confidence of his superiors and is an obedient and dedicated priest. Because of the nature of the current controversy regarding the relations of the Right To Life Association t o the Church and the NCC I wish to make this clarification: There are no public or hidden ties between the Church and the RTLA. It is an independent body and formulates its own policies and tactics. Because it is a pro-life and anti-abortion body we have always had a sympathetic interest in this common goal and have supported some of its activities. An instance of this was our co-operation and interest in Mother Teresa's visit during the RTLA convention. There was no involvement in the business of the convention and we had no representatives or delegates. The RTLA is not Church-sponsored and its methods and strategies do not require and do not receive any Church approval. Inasmuch as those strategies have involved party political action we have not lent any support and do not offer any support to such party line activities. I regret any damage that may have been done to Father O'Brien's reputation or that of others, by what has been written in these columns.

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky: Enthusiasm is important in marriage, according to Father Charles Gallagher, priest leader of the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Movement.

DAY HAS A PAGAN HISTORY

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — Halloween, originated in the church's effort to replace Celtic ancestor worship on November 1 with the commemoration of the saints, according to Robert Lima, professor of Spanish and comparative literature at Pennsylvania State University. The feast of All Saints instituted in the 7th century was first celebrated on May 13, he explained. (The English word "hallow' comes from the Teutonic word "heilag" meaning 'holy").

The pontiff pointed to a "serious imbalance between the need of the populations in vast zones and the available food". He criticised a spirit of consumerism and the huge sums spent on armaments. "It is a question of the unequal distribution of the products of labour, and of excessive spending on superfluous needs or to accumulate, in what is also a dangerous manner, wasteful armaments," the pope said. The pope wishes to be, he said, "a spokesman for all those who are suffering from tragic hunger and malnutrition and who are appealing to the conscience of their brother. "How can those who profess to follow Christ forget that this same Christ identified himself with those who were hungry?" the pope added.

TERRY MAKES UK DEBUT IN TRIUMPH Mr Terence Michael Alderman — Test cricketer and teacher at St Benedict's School, Ardross — was born at Subiaco on June 12, 1956. He started his education with the Brigidine sisters at Wembley and went on to Trinity College. Transferring to Aquinas College in 1966, he played in the first cricket XI for two years and the first XVIII, but his football career ended when he severely injured an ankle in a match a gainst Guildford Grammar School. He started pennant cricket with the Floreat under-16s and played seconds and first for Subiaco when he was 16. His first game for WA was in a Gillette Cup match against South A ustralia at the WACA in 1974 and in the same 1974-75 season he made his first-class debut in a Sheffield Shield match against NSW in Sydney. Terry is a son of Bill Alderman, Subiaco and State footballer and first-grade cricketer, and Joan (nee Troy). He has another brother and three sisters. He has started the 1981-82 first-class season in Australia in a manner that suggests he will go on to even greater heights.

Terry's first game for the State at the age of 18 against South A ustralia at the WACA in the Gillette Cup competition was quite an experience. He was feeling quite pleased with himself after his first over was a maiden, but it was a phase that passed all too quickly.

The awarding of the 1981 Nobel Peace Prize to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for R efugees (UNHCR) highlights the growing importance of the UN agency as international r efugee problems continue expanding. This is the second time in its 30-year existence that the office has won the prize. When the UN office won the a ward in 1954 it was interpreted a s support for the young agency's postwar struggle for recognition a nd acceptance of its humanitarian mission. The 1981 prize is seen by UN analysts as a reflection of the international community's sometimes grudging realisation that in today's turbulent world no c ountry or region can be sure that in the future its own refugees will not require urgent assistance and the human understanding of others. Since 1954 the agency's programme has expanded tremendously and it now has 10 million refugees from all corners of the world under its protective umbrella. Africa alone has 5 million r efugees and displaced persons. Agency officials say the main current problem is financing its expanding role in the 1980s. The UN High Commissioner for

He also praises the response, mostly by Western nations, to recent emergencies such as the Vietnamese "boat people" and the massive influx of Afghan refugees into Pakistan. More countries are willing to assume legal responsibilities toward the refugees in their territory, says Hartling.

Having completed his :aok current Australian series, Michael Parkinson has returned to Britain to fulfil his BBC obligations and his current programme will run throughout the summer season on channel Seven. Parkinson's guests for Saturday night (November 14) are worldfamous actress Ingrid Bergman, television's Kojak, Telly Savalas and Singer Robin Sarstedt. Ingrid Bergman has been one of the greatest actresses of her time and was born in 1915, to become the leading actress in Sweden.

Two-time Academy Award winner Olivia De Havilland makes her debut in a movie made for television as the lead actress in Channel Nine's spine-chilling Friday movie The Screaming Woman.

Friday the 13th is just the night for such a horror story, and at 8.35pm the Ray Bradbury story of a woman buried alive is guaranteed to have viewers on the edge of their seats. Laura Wynant (Olivia De Havilland) is sent home after five months in a sanitarium for final recuperation after a mental breakdown. While driving her horse and buggy through the garden of her estate, she notices a dog digging in the earth in the abandoned smokehouse and then hears a woman crying for help from somewhere beneath the ground. Racing back to the main house she shouts her discovery to her son Howard (Charles Robinson), daughter-in-law Caroline (Laraine Stephens) and close friend and family attorney George Tresvant (Joseph Cotten). When the group follws her to the grave, no woman or evidence of a dog or digging is to be seen and family believes Laura is hallucinating and fear for her sanity. Undaunted, she leaves the house secretly to find proof that she hasn't lost her mind and finds herself in a tense climax in which she must fight to prove and retain her sanity.

Channel Nine brings a new music show to Perth television and its glittering presentation separates Solid Gold from past music shows seen.

With a challenging format and a formida-ble production schedule of trying to organise appearances by some of the music industry's top names, the weekly one-hour show sees Grammywinner Dionne Warwick present a selection of some past top 20 hits by the artists who are responsible for their success.

A small-town policeman feels out of his depth when a wealthy holiday-maker insists his own wife is an imposter in Channel Nine's Tuesday mystery movie One Of My Wives is Missing at 9.35 pm. Jack Klugman is Murray Levine, police detective for a resort area, who is called by the wealthy Daniel Corban (James Franciscus) to investigate a missing person case.

what the CWL is all about.

"We work together for the advancement of people, but for women in general," Celia said. "Being the watchdogs of society means we have to set social standards. We need to give people something to look up to. "At the same time, however, we wouldn't dare judge, because we associate with so many people we can't possibly be narrow-minded. "You can't make people good, but you can change yourself. "It is a shame that more young women don't join us in helping others and ourselves."

B Y ANABEL GOMEZ Celia says she and Carmel Downey joined the CWL about the same time. "We were both young mothers full of ideas and facing similar problems. "Carmel's little boy Ricky and my son Stephen used to attend every meeting and we were never made to feel unwelcome. "Indeed, the boys benefited by the kindness and consideration of their once-a-month grannies." According to Celia the CWL will always survive. "When you think things are down, another branch will pop up." Apart from being a place where you can get rid of your depression (Celia admits that sometimes the ladies have giggle sessions like teenage girls), it is an international organisation which holds a place in the humanitarian and political arenas of many countries. "The League has representatives on just about every State committee, and something is always happening. "Some weeks ago I attended an afternoon tea at the League of Jewish Women's headquarters. The guest speaker was Marie Cohen, co-ordinator of all women's associations in England. "She told us how their organisations operated, and of some of the tasks they had taken on." Marie Cohen told the assembly of how they had taken care of a brain-damaged boy. Celia could understand how they forced themselves to wash him and take him to the toilet. "You can do anything for the right reasons," she said. Celia believes the work done by women of every religion is similar. "We never have any problems communicating at shared functions." Ecumenism among women is more easily achieved and Celia can see the day that all religions become one. Women readily come together in order to help someone in need. Recently CWL had a call from Pregnancy Help for some dresses. In no time at all the League had the sewing group make them up. Celia also saw women come together to help people through the Legion of Mary. She graduated from the Children of Mary into the Legion, which Father Lalor started, during the war years. Some of the girls didn't want to appear too religious to their peers. 10 The Record, November 5-11, 1981

Four different worlds L epers gather at the Dhori Mata Leper Clinic at Jarangdih for medical care and food rations. Four Samaritan Sisters are caring for 1,000 lepers in this area.

Most people today have a good idea of what the Third World is. It is the 2,000 million poor people of our time who could indeed be said to be living in a world of their own in conditions that are hard for us to imagine. The great majority of people in the Third World have a life expectancy of fifty years; in the poorest countries one out of every four children dies before the age of five; one-fifth or more of all the people in the Third World suffer from hunger and malnutrition; fifty per cent have no chance of ever learning to read. The term "Third World" was first used by the French population expert Alfred Sauvy. The words he used in French really mean "a third of the world", because the poor, if we exclude China, make up about one third of the world's population.

Story and picture from Australian Catholic Relief Most people today know the Third World is usually distinguished from the First World, which refers to the industrialised nations of the West — the world we live in, and from the Second World — the communist aligned nations. Some writers have been referring to a "Fourth World", in which are included the 30 nations designated by the UN as "least developed" — the poorest of the poor. Also included in this Fourth World are some ethnic minorities and marginal groups in danger of being swallowed up by the civilizations in which or near which they they exist. These then are four "worlds" - - four

groups of people distinguished from each other by inequality and often injustice in the distribution of the resources of the planet which we all share. St Paul spoke about Christ's message breaking down the barriers between men so that there was no longer to be a division between "Jew and Greek, slave and free man, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian." (Col. 3, 10-11) Could it be that this also applies to the divisions between the First, Second, Third and Fourth Worlds? Pope Paul VI seemed to think so. He said: "there can be no progress towards the complete development of man without simultaneous development of all humanity in a spirit of solidarity. Man must meet man, nation meet nation, as brothers and sisters. as children of God. In this mutual understanding and friendship, in this sacred communion, we must begin to work together to build the common future of the human race."

Because of the effect they had on me,Iimmediately tore them up to prevent others from seeing them. _ These warped pictures destroy the value and dignity of people.

Prominent English animator Oliver Postgate is working with Channel Nine Perth's Young People's Programme Department in the production of a series of animated street safety segments for children. Oliver is the man behind such animated programmes as 'Noggin the Nog' and 'Captain Pugwash'. Oliver's visit to Perth was sponsored by the Western Australian Institute of Technology where he is currently lecturing, with financial assistance from Channel Nine. The street safety segments, to be telecast as a community service announcements, will take the theme of Don't Be a Dodo. The production team comprising Keith and Chris Woodland, Mike Callaghan, and Jenny Dunstan, has spent the past weeks writing scrips which will be put to a catchy scat-jazz beat, warning children of the dangers of crossing the road, walking from behind parked vehicles. and playing ball in the street. Musical director and arranger for the segments is Greg Schultz. According to co-ordinator of Channel Nine's Young People's Programme Department, Keith Woodland, the team hopes to learn enough about animation from Oliver to be able to produce further animated segments on their own in the future. It is anticipated that Don't Be a Dodo segments will be ready for telecast during the Christmas school holidays.

If the snake has been killed bring it to

You apply pressure to the bitten area and immobilise the limb. Ninety-five per cent of snakebites are on the limbs, 75 per cent of these on the lower limbs. What to do: * • Bandage the bitten area firmly and promptly. • Immobilise the limb. • Bring transport to the patient. This treatment reduces absorption of the venom into the bloodstream for many hours. If you happen to be alone when bitten, try not to panic. Follow the same treatment procedure — bandage, immobilise, transport. If you have to go for help, walk, don't run. A dash across a paddock could quickly pump venom into the bloodstream. In up to 70 per cent of snakebite cases no venom is injected although fang holes mark the skin. A firm crepe bandage is ideal for binding the bite. If it is on an arm or leg, bind the full length of the limb, A splint can be anything rigid — a strong stick, a spade, a fence paling, Keep the victim quiet, lying down if possible, and bring transport to him.

It's strange that such a range of attitudes and reactions surround a shy animal that is deaf, nearly blind and has a brain the size of a pea. It is not aggressive. Most snakes bite only if they are stepped on or molested in some way. The behaviour is instinctive. Remember: • Leave snakes alone. • Wear stout shoes and adequate clothing (trousers and jacket) when walking in 'snake country'. • Make sure hollow logs are safe before you put your hand in them. • Be alert when walking in long grass. Hit out noisily with a stick before entering — or avoid it altogether. • Always use a torch around camps and farmhouses at night. • Keep grass well cut, particularly where children play. • Keep chicken feed and fodder in vermin-proof bins. Children should not collect snakes. If they show a particular interest in snakes take them to the zoo and museum where they can look and learn safely. If a child says he has had contact with a snake believe him.

Ten years ago the Catholic Church issued a major statement on modern c ommunication. It had the imposing title The Pastoral Instruction on the Means of Social Communications. people closer to each other.

Mr Nicholas Kerr, editor of the Adelaide Catholic weekly, The Southern Cross, secretary and former president of the Catholic Press Association of A ustralia, was recently a guest speaker on the ABC and printed here are edited extracts of his talk.

The Record, November 5-11, 1981

I would like this group to look at setting up a national media office to promote the Church's work in all fields of media. I'd expect it would stress the news and information side of things as much as the creative radio and television production side. The office could probably serve the Catholic press, too. It could also look at ways of encouraging more Christians to work in the media and it would work closely with people doing similar work in other churches. And, if Ihad my say, it would promote media education for all it was worth. Back in 1963 the Vatican Council, in its decree on the mass media, said this:

" The Catholic Church was founded by Christ Our Lord to bring salvation to all men. "It feels obliged, therefore, to preach the Gospel. "In the same way it believes that its task involves employing the means of social communication to announce the good news of salvation and to teach men to use them properly. "It is the Church's birthright to use and own any of these media which are necessary or usefulfor the formation of Christians and for pastoral activity." So — the Catholic Church in its official documents urges us to use the media to spread Christ's message. And the possibilities for bringing people closer to Christ through the media are enormous. But the Church in Australia is not taking these possibilities as seriously as they deserve. As I said before: Some wonderful things are happening — but much, much more could be done.
