VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II opened the new year with a graphic description of the "massive destruction" which would be caused by any nuclear warfare and a renewed appeal for world peace.

"Peace, the gift of God, depends on the good will of men and women."

Fault lies DISCIPLES ARE UBJ ECT S S with USSR OF CALL
S YDNEY — "There can be no doubt that the Soviet Union is behind the current crisis in Poland," Mr David Pollard, National Secretary of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace, said last week.
A Call to Discipleship is the theme for the 1982 annual Catholic Charismatic Conference to be held at the Perth Concert Hall, January 20-22.
Mr Pollard said that the commission had been in touch with Catholic Church sources in Europe on a number of occasions during the last two weeks.

Record A burst of top passes by Catholic pupils in • the tertiary admission examination has turned up the spotlight on the handful of Catholic colleges which took off nearly a third of the honours. The successes are, of course, the personal distinction and honour of the individual students who by dint of talent or hard work have proved to be academic leaders at this stage in their lives. They are a welcome antidote to the numbing sensation that the only youth worth recognising today hold a microphone in a rock group. With suitable modesty the schools involved will disclaim all but a minor part in the success but principals and staff are entitled to the human reward of basking in the glow of their pupils' successes. Whether psychologists like it or not the road to the top whether in sport, education, business of politics is a powerful invitation to human nature.

They were the public market in which to test the validity of the Catholic school effort being run without a cent of government money. They were a flag to fly for the pennies a nd shillings that Catholic parents were sacrificing to keep these schools going. They were a meagre human reward for the thousands of brothers and sisters who gave up their lives in this cause and ploughed the slender earnings of their sweat back into more schools and facilities. Like the sweltering heat that is quickly forgotten with the arrival of the sea breeze the Catholic school clientele today can too quickly forget its origins. We are hearing too much of the bleatings of teacher organisations and politicians glossing over the fact that Catholics are still shelling out hard cash while receiving substantially less than a per capita share of current education expenditure. In the meantime new horizons are taking shape as instanced this week by the incoming Presentation superior general, as comfirmed in recent remarks by principals, and in the repeated reminders of Father Holohan, that the quality of Catholic education will increasingly become a key factor. Whether teachers in Catholic schools like it or not the Catholic public — not just the parents — who have worked hard to build up the Catholic educational investment will demand a standard of commitment and excellence in Catholic teaching and practice. Equally the Catholic school will demand its price of co-operation and interest and is entitled to be dissatisfied with the sluggish soul who believes that a token nod towards Christian thinking is satisfactory. The debate will intensify as Catholic parents jostle in the entry queue to the vital secondary area. The Catholic Church faces the challenge of re-channelling its resources towards the many families who by selection or choice are missing out on this costly Catholic education apparatus. The era by which some judged academic excellence as the only criterion of Catholic education has passed and the new age of testing the Christian quality of the product is about to dawn.

CHARTER FOR RIGHTS OF Plea for FAMILY Polish aid V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Austrian Caritas, relief agency of the Catholic bishops, has asked for international s olidarity and national c ooperation to resettle t housands of Poles stranded by the recent imposition of martial law in their country. Caritas estimates that there were 25,000 Poles in Austria on tourist visas when martial law took effect in Poland Dec. 13 in addition to another 30,000 awaiting political exile, the Jesuit -run radio station said. Austrian Caritas has agreed to provide housing and financial assistance for 2,500 Poles who "cannot or do not wish to re-enter their c ountry" and who receive no aid from the Austrian government, the report added. The assistance program will cost about $3.2 million in the first five months, according to Austrian Caritas, which said funds from other countries will be needed to support the refugees. Austrian Caritas also a ppealed to the national church community for assistance in finding housing and jobs for the displaced Poles. Since the beginning of 1981, Caritas International, a Vatican agency, has provided more than $1.5 million in aid, primarily food, to Poland.

REPRESSION OF CHURCH CHINA S OVIET RUSSIA
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
MOSCOW — The concern felt by Soviet authorities concerning the enduring power of religion can be seen in a recent feature article in the c ommunist party newspaper Pravda.
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia — Father Josef Kordik, S.J. (33) charged with "obstructing State supervision of the Church" article 178 of the Penal Code) has received only a 12 month suspended sentence as a result of a letter written by Cardinal Tomasek just before the trial.
The editorial urges more effective anti-religious propaganda in educational institutions and the mass media, which is the constant theme of numerous articles in the Soviet press. A fter the more or less obligatory references to Marx and Engels on religion, and a few words on the vital role of atheist upbringing in the formation of the "new man", the author states that "sociological surveys" show that approximately 97% of the under-20's are atheists, as are 94-97% of the 21-30 age group. This mention of "sociological surveys" is interesting for the outside observer, as Soviet officials usually make a great point of saying that no statistics of believers are maintained in the Soviet Union, citing article 52 of the Constitution ("freedom of conscience") and separation of Church and state. Estimates given by specialists from the Moscow House of Scientific atheism, the propaganda department of the Party's central committee and similar bodies in recent years have the figures for believers varying from 8-10% to 25-30% of the adult population. The majority of experts seem to agree on a figure of 15-20%. As the population of the USSR has passed the 250 million mark, even the lowest estimate of 8-10% represents a very great number of people. "We cannot, we dare not forget", states the editorial, "that religion is a manifestation of an idealogy which is alien to us, and that it is something which is being actively exploited by our foes in their efforts to counter the attractions of the communist system". "The struggle against religion, it says, must be conducted "ably, scientifically and seriously. "There are no trivialities in atheist upbringing; everything about it is important". There can be no thought of lessening ideological opposition to religion, nor of any re-examination of the Marxist view that religion is the "opium of the people". After criticising the stubborn persistence of such manifestations of religion as the wearing of crosses and the presence of icons in homes, the editorial turns its attention to believers as such. The stereotyped image of all believers as primitive semiliterates is no longer applicable, it states, and a closer look must be taken at the type of person who is the believer of today. The article has some severe words for a number of districts where officials have lagged behind in atheist propaganda and underestimated "the influence of the clergy and of sectarian preachers". Due to such negligence, states the article, "there is still a considerable network of religious communities operating in their region". The article ends, predictably, with a call to improve atheist work, for "our social system will free mankind forever from the mystical obscurities of religious teachings". Earlier this year the ideological journal Young Communist mentioned religion as one of the major "pernicious Western influences" affecting Soviet youth. Despite the official line that such manifestations are simply signs of snobbery, misdirected nostalgia or aesthetic faddism, the frequency with which they are mentioned in the Soviet press is a clear signal of alarm.
YUGOSLAVIA B ELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Franciscan friar Joza Zovka, parish priest of Medjugorje in Bosnia, has been sentenced to three years- imprisonment for "activities harmful to Y ugoslavia". Even Catholics who had expected the worst were surprised at this harsh sentence. They believe that this incident is meant to be an example to instil fear in all Catholics. According to the official Yugoslav news agency, Tanjug, the 40-year-old priest was sentenced because he called upon thousands of believers to "shake off the chains which have bound them for four decades" in one of his sermons. Catholic circles in Croatia, however, report that Father Zovka had cited Psalm 95 which calls for loyalty to God; it concerns a people whose heart is confused and who have been away from God for 40 years. The court ruled that this refers to the 40 years of Communist rule in Yugoslavia, although 400 parishioners assured the authorities that it was a purely religious text. They were not permitted to testify during the hearing. The nearby village of Citluk had been in the headlines previously after thousands had flocked from all over Yugoslavia to the site of a reported appearance of the Mother of God. The authorities see this as an excuse for the gathering of "nationalistic clergymen in Croatia". Another priest, 27-year-old Father Vjenceslav Kujundjic, was sentenced to seven months' deprivation of freedom for "ridiculing the State and using religion for political purposes". Father Kujundjic, the priest of a small parish 30 kilometres north of Split, had asked several school children not to wear their badges stating "We are growing up under the flag of Tito" in the church rooms where religious education classes were held while the lesson was talking about the "flag of Christ", The priest was initially given a 50 day sentence for his "activities harmful to the State", but under harsher laws this was eKtended to seven months' imprisonment.

The Record, January 7-13, 1982
The cardinal made it absolutely clear in his letter that Father Kordik had acted within the law and that the charge of contravening religious regulations is groundless. The Cardinal instructed two priests who were to give evidence against Father Kordik to refrain from doing so. Father Kordik's trouble with the authorities began about three years ago when he became involved with young social dropouts who, out of a feeling of revulsion against conformism to the ideological state, often turn to drugs. He tried to help them by exemplifying the Christian way of life, often attending court hearings and known as a priest of the "underground". Last year his licence to work as a priest was revoked by the authorities. He published a vigorous protest in the unofficial monthly chronicle Church Information which led to his being charged. A few days later his flat was searched and a large quantity of religious samizdat was seized by the police. His fate seemed to have been sealed. 4. 4-44-4******211.44-4-4-4-4-4**4- 21-4444-4-44-4-41-44444- 444-

* *****444444#44#444********************
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia — In an unprecedented move recently, Bishop Julius Gabris of Trnava, Slovakia, ( who was designated by the Vatican to become the first Slovak Primate) refused to ordain the Bratislava theological student Lompart, knowing that Lompart had been acting as an agent of the Slovak security police. Bishop Jozef Feranec, of Banska Bystrica, nevertheless ordained the seminarist, despite Bishop Gabris's refusal. It is feared that Bishop Feranec was forced to carry out the ordination on orders from the security police. The ordination angered the Bratislava seminarists as they knew of Lompart's unworthy lifestyle and denunciations. When Lompart returned to his native village to celebrate his first Mass, the angry villagers stopped him. It is not known whether he succeeded in serving his first Mass elsewhere in Slovakia.
MAINLAND
HONG KONG — Chinese priests living a broad, who often have chances to visit r elatives living in the countryside of mainland China, find a living and active Church. In some cases, whole communities are almost totally Catholic, even though there are no native priests available; at best one may sometimes come across a priest recently returned from prison camp - but working as a peasant, having being forbidden to exercise his priestly ministry. The visitor is faced with immediate and pressing demands to celebrate Mass at dead of night, having first heard immense numbers of confessions. He will hear terrible stories of death under torture, and see martyrs' houses now regarded as sanctuaries. He comes across priests in tears, who for twenty years or more have had no chance to make their confessions; also lapsed Catholics, begging for forgiveness as they return to the fold. Books, missals, crucifixes and so forth are seized with avidity to replace the many that have been stolen or destroyed. Stories emerge about life in the camps, and it is clear that a great degree of faith is found there. Catholics are known to be good workers, notable for their honesty and their concern for others. Real but "invisible" congregations have been formed about certain priests. There are almost no Church buildings in the villages; and such as there are, are generally in ruins, owing to the destructive work of the Cultural Revolution. Clearly, the Party felt that the influence of religion in the countryside had been completely eradicated. The Patriotic Catholic Church (which rejects allegiance to the pope) has no foothold in the villages. The visiting priests may travel far and wide, but in districts where he is not known he finds a thick wall of fear and distrust. He has no means of finding out whether erstwhile colleagues are in the area or in distant parts - or, indeed, if they are alive or dead. Party officials in the countryside find themselves in an embarassing position. Some are themselves Catholics, and come secretly to make their confessions. Other non-believers have heard about the recent Party doctrines on religious liberty, and just do not know how to deal with villagers who attend Mass secretly. Visiting priests are sometimes reprimanded - but they have foreign passports and complaints cause trouble. A Party secretary in Chekiang wrote: "The universe won't collapse if a few Party menbers take part in religious practices." Apparently a regulation forbidding Party members to practice religion was ignored: quiet dissuasion proved rather more successful. The number of Catholics in certain diocese have increased recently - partly because of the increased birthrate and partly through conversion. An enquiry in one diocese reveals a 50% gain during the last --thirty years. As one Chinese priest wrote to a friend abroad: "Once upon a tilne we sowed the seed; now is the time of harvest".

Channel 7 proudly premieres the new family drama series "A Country Practice" on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7.35pm.
Produced for the Seven Network by JNP Productions, A Country Practice is a continuing drama series revolving around the people and activities of a community hospital and clinic in Wandin Valley, a small country town in the mid-west of New South Wales. Much of it is shot on location in and around Windsor, NSW. James Davern, head of JNP Productions, sums up the series as one of 'laughter and tears'. He wrote the pilot and says he aimed at making it a balanced human drama with its share of comic moments. Part of that humour will stem from such characters as Doris the pig a colourful animal not averse to the odd drop of alcohol; and Fatso the Wombat. Davern has backed a cast he terms 'first rate' with some of the country's top scriptwriters and editors. Writers of the calibre of Tony Morphett, who has won six major awards for his work; Margaret Kelly ("Puberty Blues", "Pig in a Poke"); Luis Bayonas (Crawford and ABC dramas), and David Boutland ("Rush", "Bellbird", "Cop Shop"). Script Editors - Moya Wood ("Summerfield", "Love Letters from Teralba Road"), Jack Thompson is the shearer Foley in a scene from Sunday Too Far Away. Hugh Stuckey ("Restless Years", and Lynn Bayonas (ABC and Crawford Productions).
International
Sunday Too Far Away was the first f eature film to emerge from the S outh Australian Film Corporation and its efforts were well rewarded both nationally and internationally. Sunday Too Far Away scooped the pool at the Australian Film Awards, winning the $5,000 Australian Film Development Corporation award, the A FI Golden Reel award and the $1,000 Department of the Media award. The American critic at Cannes where the movie was entered in its year of release said: "Other Aussie pix have been surfacing at fests and hitting Western marts. With this
Natural birth A natural method of childbirth designed to cut down on the use of drugs during birth is explored in a television movie "Having Babies" on Channel Nine. The Lamaze method of birth, which has been in practice for a number of y ears, is a "natural" birth where husband and wife c ombine to help relax the mother with proper breathing and concentration. The story brings together four expectant women at the home of a woman who provides instruction on the L amaze method of childbirth. One woman is having her child on her own and is facing the prospect of being a single parent; the problem another has of her baby into a bringing family who have lost their mother; a third is natural having marital the fourthproblems; while is facing financial problems.
The series is Davern's first television production since he left the ABC where he was Head of Drama for some years. In addition to working on several international co-productions, he created "Rush", was the man behind "Bellbird" and wrote the series "Patrol Boat".
entry they may find their way on most marts and both Hannam (director) and the Australian industry are to be watched". Channel Nine's Friday movie at 9.35pm, Sunday Too Far Away, is set in the Outback, just before the 1956 national shearers strike. The action centres around Foley (Jack Thompson), a top shearer who returns to the sheds after having previously sworn he had given the work away for life. Foley and the rest of his team are shanghaied by a shearing contractor and the story follows them
through a series of hilarious adventures including a confrontation with a station owner after Foley has pretended to castrate his prize ram, a knock-down brawl with the cook, a late night rendezvous with the station o wner's daughter and some "moving" negotiations with an undertaker. The climax of the movie comes when the shearers go on strike to protest at the withdrawal of their prosperity bonus, only a few cents per hundred .sheep, and non-union labour is brought in by the station owners to handle the shearing.
Shane Porteous stars as Dr Terence Elliott - a top Sydney surgeon who now runs a general practice in Wandin Valley. After three years in Wandin Valley, he has established himself as something of a mystery man, but an excellent doctor. The only part of country life he hasn't fully embraced is an affection for animals. Grant Dod well stars as Dr. Simon Bowen, a city boy just out of medical school - naive, energetic and born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He comes from a long line of doctors and the pressure is on him to live up to family expectations. His father gave him the money to buy into the practice in Wandin Valley.
Non-conformist Helen Scott stars as Matron Marta Kertesz, the Penny Cook who plays the local vet, Vicky Dean, in A Hungarian-born matron in charge of the Wandin Valley Community Hospital.

JUST FOR KIDS
Jenny says goodnight to the deaf A new series of 'Goodnight' segments recorded by Channel Nine's Young People's Program Department has received a warm response from Perth's deaf community.
The segments, featuring Jenny Dunstan, Flapper, and Brindley, have the usual message for children ending with 'Goodnight girls and boys, everywhere'. However, for the first time, Jenny presents this final message in sign language, specially designed for the deaf children of the community. Soon after the segments went to air, Keith Woodland, Co-ordinator of the Young People's Program Department, received a letter of thanks from the Administration Office for the Western Australian Deaf Society,, Mr. John Levitzke. Mr. Levitzke said the Society had received a great deal of response from its members and deaf children. "The deaf community of the metropolitan area are delighted," he said. Channel Nine's children's show presenter Jenny Dunstan and cuddly children's character Flapper. Jenny recently introduced sign language into the good-night segments, specially designed for deaf children.
BIG BREAKTHROUGH
"The Deaf Society considers the segments have created a major breakthrough of the communication barrier for
profoundly deaf people and strongly commends Channel Nine's initiative in this regard," Mr. Levitzke said.

Sister Marie Moriarty a Josephite who has just completed her term of teaching at Kalgoorie will be among 10 young West A ustralian workers attending the YCW national key leaders school to be held in Adelaide this month.
"It's a refreshing and enriching experience to mix with young people," Sister Marie said. For the past 18 months Sister Marie has assisted the YCW group at Kalgoorlie by working with the young people and the parish clergy, Father Dwyer and Father Nino Vinciguerra. After a parish youth retreat held by Father Tom Ryan last year, the then Dean of Kalgoorlie, Father Justin Bianchini asked Sister Marie and Father Dwyer to "get something going for the young people". Sister Marie
Federation will meet
Her task was made easier when she found Mark O'Sullivan and Kevin Yuen already working in Kalgoorlie. Both had been leaders in the Perth Y CW and had been transferred in their jobs. The group now consists of 15 regular members. It includes bank officers, nurses, teachers, hairdressers, librarian, office workers, four school of mines students, a baker and a surveyor's assistant. The group meets regularly on Tuesday nights at the parish hall. It has held three training camps at Esperance and Niagra Falls, north of Menzies. "Very ordinary things have helped to bind the group together," Sister Marie said.

"Some activities of the Kalgoorlie group have been hard work. Some very important learning and growth has taken place." At the Esperance Camp, Sister Marie explained
the YCW method of the Social Enquiry, and the young workers put it into practice among the local residents. Instead of just going out to buy the necessary provisions, they split up the Shopping list and prepared certain questions to ask t he Esperance shop assistants in order to find out what life was like for them at Esperance. They put questions to the shop assistants about their work and lesuire. In one small experiment three YCW members assumed three typical patterns of behaviour of shoppers. The first shopper was very courteous and called the young lady by her first name (reading it off her tag). The second was a humbug and general pest and the third was silent. One lesson that the young shoppeil‘ discovered was that mothers and housewives work hard when doing the shopping. It can be heavy work and needs skill and astuteness if the best bargains are to be found. Together with Sister Marie, Dave Piggot, an apprentice baker from K algoorlie, will also attend the National Key Leaders School. The youth forum hope to hear his ideas and impressions in the future.

have been visiting Fellow in Education at the University of Western Australia for a couple of years and in connection with my duties I intended to have another look at Aboriginal education. The Northern Territory statistics on abortion differentiate between Aborigines and Europeans, the infant mortality rate of Europeans in the Northern Territory being 12.5 per thousand and tDat of Aborigines being 48 per thousand. This is a very low infant mortality rate. Of course we do not count abortions in infant mortality but they are infant mortality nevertheless.
N
ow in the Northern Territory the Europeans have 152.5 abortions per one thousand births, while the Aborigines have five abortions per one thousand births. So you end up with a white infant mortality rate of 165 and an Aboriginal infant mortality rate of 53, the result being that A boriginal enrolments in

The key attitude in selfishness is demand. It is one of the key words of conflict in modern society — demand this, demand that. Undemanding love is the essence of marriage. One traditional sign of broken selfishness in marriage used to be the putting of an unbroken pay packet on the family table on pay day, but one pay packet today does not always meet the expectations created by

Unbroken selfishness — demand — in marriage and society will always be served by hot heads. Unselfishness will always be manifested by warm hearts.

One of them was Galleroy Unapingu who became Australian of the Year in 1979 and his name means Horizon at Sea, Rock. The other's name means Movement of the Octopus Reef. The Aborigines across the north believe that when a woman first feels the quicken, the creator's earth spirit enters her and therefore the child is an action of the creator earth spirit. It is obvious that more of us have lost the idea that the child is potentially a temple of the Holy Spirit than Aborigines have lost the idea that the child is the action of the creator earth spirit. In a sense, they are perfectly correct in their belief, and they adhere to it. When people come to them to tell them they should dispose of their children, then they believe that what is being attempted is a new form of genocide. Therefore, they are highly resistant to all our proposals or our advisors' proposals on this issue.
