25 million dollars. Immediate relict requested for families and school repairs." While the Australian Government was flying emergency supplies to Tonga, Caritas Internationalis, the international Catholic aid organisation, had started to mount a co-ordinated programme of assistance. Caritas Internationalis is passing on information on the Tonga disaster to member agencies around the world, advising them of the action already taken by some members, such as ACR, and providing up-to-date assessments of Tonga's needs and how they can be met.
In all, 33 courses were organised by the Zimbabwe Catholic Commission on Social Service and Development in subjects such as: Adult literacy; basic health care; manufacture of low-cost roofing materials; w omen's leadership; business administration. All are intensely relevant to the situation in the newly independent country. When independence was achieved in 1980, refugees who had fled to neighbouring countries to avoid the fighting, began to return to Zimbabwe in big numbers. One million returned in the first year and at the same time, agricultural activity, disrupted or abandoned during the war, was unable to produce enough to feed the growing population. Australian Catholic Relief contributed $60,000 to Zimbabwe in 1980, helping to Finance agricultural development programmes for returning refugees. This was followed by $20,000 last year, to enable training courses to be brought to remote areas. Twelve out of the 33 courses were to train teachers in the Learn and Teach method developed by Paolo Freire. This has proved remarkably successful in other Third World countries, and in Zimbabwe, several diocesan centres have developed their own adaptations of the method. The demand for literacy classes in rural areas is growing rapidly and in some places, voluntary teachers, supported by trained co-ordinators, are being used to try to meet the demand. Health education courses were organised in areas far from hospitals or clinics, teaching primary health and the prevention of some of the most common diseases, such as diahorroea, measles and scabies. As in the case of the adult literacy courses, some of those trained will work in voluntary capacities in their own communities, promoting clean water supply, sanitation and nutrition. Demand for the courses is likely to increase in the coming year as communities become aware not only of their need for the skills that are being taught, but also of the fact that it is now possible to do something to meet these needs.
A major problem for Zimbabwe after independence was the re-integration of former guerilla fighters, many of whom joined the ranks of the unemployed. Training courses, partially funded by ACR, will help them to gain new skills.

Rehecord The result of saying anything on topics such as betting, gambling, casinos or similar social issues is about as predictable and profitable as dropping a lighted match into the scrub in the late dry summer. The flames take off in any direction with most persons finishing up where they want to be on the issue. Some journalists at The West Australian newspaper and on ABC Nationwide — possibly disappointed that there is not a 19th century wowserish howl from churchmen on the topic — have adopted the new tack that the Catholic and Anglican "Churches" (whatever they are.'.!) are now in favour of a local casino.
Mirrabooka parish held its fifth annual starvathon last weekend as part of a programme to raise funds for Project Compassion and to increase awareness of hunger and other needs among the less fortunate.
That of course is simply not true and has been said by no-one in either body. In The Anglican Messenger, Archbishop Peter Carnley offered some spontaneous thoughts on the subject to his flock. A Catholic opinion on the morality of gambling was sought during a three minute telephone newspaper interview. A Uniting Church Social R esponsibility Group (not the "Church", and not even Synod, so far) has expressed an opinion to the premier in a letter. It is amazing that secularists who laugh at the idea of believing anything said by a churchman, do not appreciate the fact that neither the Anglican or Uniting Church traditions have ever required their members to follow unswervinWy a particular moral opinion voiced by their leaders. Therefore the only way to know what those "churches" think would be to poll every member. Catholic teaching obliges a church member only when it is clearly enunciated by the appropriate authority — at least the bishop of the diocese — and in terms that are clear and unequivocal as to what a Catholic conscience must follow on a particular matter.
St Gerard's Youth Club members and other parishioners took part in a 40-hour fast that lasted from 8pm Friday to noon on Sunday. Water was available in any quantity and the only other sustenance was orange juice every four hours. Each fasting participant had sponsors and anyone winning at the Friday night Bingo was advised to donate their winnings During the Mirrabooka starvathon last weekend all eyes were on Wayne Hosking's watch to the starvathon. To keep their minds off (right) as (left to right) Mary Helen Kelly, John Fernandez andKim McNally waited four hours for the pangs of hunger the the glass of juice that was their breakfast. younger people occupied During the Saturday themselves with games or cleaning up the garden afternoon a film on areas around St Gerard's hunger and penance was church. Others had to go shown to the participants to their regular Saturday w ho later held a discussion. morning employment.
TO THE EDITOR
Timor claims Ceremonies of short on fact Confirmation
There is to date no consensus of moral theologians or bishops at any level that has ever defined betting or gambling as an intinsecally evil and objectively immoral act. That fact does not absolve those who are committing seriously sinful acts when they reduce their family to penury, steal or otherwise offend in the course of gambling. Such distinctions naturally are provocative to those who feel they know how the Bible responds to an amazing array of modern social issues. Such distinctions are inflammatory to those who have suffered grievously through the excesses of gambling or its consequences. For the moment the fact is that, like the Emperor's New Clothes, a proposed new casino does not exist although non-too-shy financiers are parading their wares as though there will be a casino on every hill and promontary in WA. There is no firm proposal before parliament and both major parties are going to think very carefully on what they say before a coming election. Why particular individuals oppose a casino depends on more than moral options. Many will favour the project but will be morally indignant if it is on their doorstep, just as they feel about pubs, clubs, brothels and freeways. Others will oppose casinos on humanitarian and social desirability grounds and their point of view is valid, providing they are not preempting the Last Judgement and consigning to hell all those unfortunate to have visited Wrest Point, Alice Springs or the local TAB. A proposed casino is not a question on which the "church" need necessarily have an opinion. At the appropriate time the archbishop may have a point of view, so may individual clergy and laity, diocesan and parish pastoral councillors and any other bodies. All the more power to them. That is what forming conscience is all about. In the meantime, those who are beating the brush fires of casinos and brothels can look into the smoke clouds showing that in a few weeks time most Australians will neither know or care that Jesus Christ, the Son of God died for us and rose from the dead to prove it.

KIMBERLEY LAY MISSIONARIES WHAT ARE THEY? They start by being average practical Catholics prepared to share whatever expertise they have with the Aboriginal children and adults of the North West of Australia. They serve the Church, placing themselves at the disposal of the Bishop, "as vicar and legatee of Christ", (Vat. 11, P382), and assist him in a spirit of dedication. 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 evangelize according to their own individual abilities. Under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop they have their own f ormally constituted Association and elected Council. Lay Missionaries do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their fares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.
THE KIMBERLEYS
or the Diocese of Broome, is the far North West part of Australia, r oughly 3 times the size of Victoria; A subtropical region, with a 'wet season through the summer months; of varied terrain with beautiful beaches but a large part taken up by the Great Sandy Desert. Since 1959 many admirable Australians have contributed in no small way to the personal growth and education of the Aboriginal people as lay missionaries. They have formed close and lasting ties. Others are needed to continue and improve existing services.

d Beware sprea Prison for priest of doctrine H ARTFORD, Conn. (NC) — The Catholic bishops of Connecticut have warned against permitting "the malignant doctrine of MarxismLeninism to spread any further in the world or to take root here in the United States."
WARSAW, Poland (NC) — A Catholic priest has been convicted by a Polish military court on charges of slandering government leaders during a sermon shortly after the imposition of martial law. The priest, identified only as Father B. Jewulski, was sentenced to 3% years in prison. The trial was the first reported legal action against a priest since the imposition of martial law.

PRIEST WORKS AMONG REFUGEES The whole philosophy of giving to other parts of the world says that they are human beings and that I am involved if my brother is starving, whether it be Timbuctoo or anywhere. This is the attitude of Passionist priest Father Jeffereies Foale who was in Perth recently and who has taken a keen interest in Kampuchea and the resettlement of IndoChinese refugees in Australia. "Obviously there are pitfalls for the unwary," Father Foale said. "There is wastage when we give aid and there are people on the sidelines who turn the situation and the generosity of others to their own advantage. "We have to get used to the continual number of disaster stories that are coming out of Asia. It is the world of which we are part; it is the region closest to Australia. "So much of our thinking is geared to what happens on the other side of the globe, in Europe or America, but the events close to our shores are going to be more and more tied to our lives in Australia. "If we are looking at the outside world there is a priority to look at the countries that are closest t o Australia. Timor is just 400 miles from the Australian coast. Kampuchea is in our region." Father Foale attributes his ten years as a missionary in New Guinea as the reason for his strong concern for the Kampuchean situation and his interest in re-settling refugees here. "I guess it was my missionary background crying out for involvement in the Third World. The Vietnamese situation arose and it came to me rather than my going in search of it. Father Foale is involved in a programme at the Glen Osmond Passionist monastery in Adelaide where 80 refugees at a time are housed at the retreat house for up to three months before moving out into other housing. More than 450 migrants have b een settled in this programme. Part of the cost is covered by social security payments but so far the project has been financed by $40,000 in voluntary gifts and a further grant of $24,000 from the Federal government. "As citizens of this country we have an obligation
Father Foale said that the Indo Chinese refugee families were settling in well. At some risk, however, are the young men without families who in their own culture are very much under the control of their elders but who have been a worry to the migrant officials in Australia. He said that an additional $30,000 of donations had been raised for a project of four suburban homes to house teenage Indo Chinese refugee boys. He noted that the refugee families were very mobile and not a big number were remaining in WA, while the heaviest concentrations were in Cabramatta in Sydney.

ill R BRIEN Vincent Thirley is manager of Gold and Silver Sales of Australia and a well-known radio and Ptelevision personality.
He was born at Subiaco on August 13, 1935, started school at St Columba's in South Perth and finished his e ducation at CBC Terrace. He is a member of the Our Lady of Victories parish council at Wembley and he is also on the Diocesan P astoral Council. He was a p and F member at Our Lady of Victories school and after having lived 20 years in the Wembley parish he and his wife Avis (nee O'Donnell) are about to move into a new home at Forrestfield. They have three daughters ranging in age from 19 to 14. Brien started his radio career as an announcer at 6PM, later moved to Channel Seven, 61X and 6PR where he was station manager, had three years as general manager of the South Fremantle Football Club and still b roadcasts football for 6PR.
There's a silver lining to life for Brien Thirley *
THE
Today s People
gangling young ship* ping clerk was so shy that he stammered with embarrassment whenever he was asked to get to his feet and say a few words before an audience.
This shortcoming mocked his longheld ambition to be a radio sporting commentator and he seemed likely to remain in his first post-school job as a shipping clerk for ever. But Father (now Bishop) Healy came to the rescue. The priest suggested that Brien join the public speaking and debating classes then conducted by the YCW, of which he was a member. The young fellow thoroughly enjoyed the e xperience as his tongue became untied with his increasing confidence and proficiency. The stammer barrier hurdled, he auditioned before John Luke for a position as an announcer on 6PM and got the job. "John Luke was a hard taskmaster who believed in giving announcers a thorough t raining that they don't appear to get nowadays," Brien says. "For the first three months I sat in the studio with him while he announced and I read only the occasional commercial from which he would pick my faults and give me plenty of good advice." That was in 1959 and in those days, he c ontinues, 6PM was a real family station. A mong the staff there was a great spirit of c amaraderie and loyalty to the proprietor, Frank (Poppa) Whitford. He was a colourful character, Brien recollects, but he could be awkward at times. For example Brien would have a record on in the breakfast session when Poppa would ring from home and say: "Why are you playing t hat? Put on Boomps-a-Daisy." On his office wall the proprietor had a verse w hich he required every staff member to read and retain in his mind. This recipe for success w as: "It's not the individual or the army as a w hole, but the everlasting teamwork of every bloomin' soul." At one station Christmas function Premier Bert Hawke as guest speaker went on at some length about how impressed he had been with this "unforgettable" motto. The Premier then started to quote it: "It's not the individual but — er, er — hey Frank, how does the rest of it go?"
J
OHN Luke used to conduct community c oncerts in the studio every lunch time for p acked audiences of the general public, and t he Willie Weeties show he presented at Boans every Saturday morning ran for more years t han any other radio show of its type in A ustralia. Brien says that at that time the announcer w as far busier than he is today because everything was on disc and he had fo exercise direct c ontrol over every second of the programme as well as preparing it himself in advance. Now just about every operation is automated as the announcer sits before a console t hat looks like the instrument panel of a Boeing 747. Brien believes that commercial radio standards have slipped. Many announcers now lack e ven a basic command of the Queen's English and their utterances are peppered with bad pronunciation and grammatical errors. It's a hard-sell business now where the only guide is ratings, and most of the fun has disappeared. "If you don't do well in the ratings, you're out," he says. "I was at PM for 10 enjoyable years. Nobody stays that long at a station now." He left because television was coming in and he wanted a taste of the new medium. He

auditioned successfully at Channel Seven and his first engagement was on the popular Sport at Seven programme. He also read the news for a long time and when geven took over 61X he became the radio station's sporting director. He remembers some hair-raising experiences of his television days. "You'd dash into the studio," he recalls, "after having waited till the death-knock to get the latest information for News Headlines to find that somebody had pinched the stool from behind the desk and you'd have to read the bulletin standing up but bent over to give the impression that you were seated. "On one occasion the technician had gone to do another job after having set the camera for me — seated at the desk — to read a news bulletin.
A
anaesthetist, which he's pronounced correctly many times before, tripped him up. He had about four unsuccessful shots at it before finally settling for "a well-known London doctor." His job as a sporting director at 61X involved him in broadcasting football, cricket, hockey and just about every other sport except racing. "That's ironic," he comments, "because my early ambition had been to become a racing c ommentator, but after all these years I've yet to call a race." He left the radio-TV world of Channel Seven-61X with some regrets to become station manager of 6PR because he'd had a lot of fun out at Tuart Hill and worked with some very nice people, including the late Doug Gilmour. As he was preparing for his first appearance before a TV camera, Brien recalls, he mentioned to Doug how nervous he was about presenting himself to all those thousands of viewers out there. "Just remember," Doug advised, "that you're not performing for thousands of viewers. You're talking to one or two people in the comfort and privacy of their lounge room." It was sage counsel that has continued to help Brien.
S THE bulletin progressed I was horrified to notice that the camera was slowly slipping downwards. I had to gradually lower my face to stay in frame and I finished the bulletin with my chin just about on the desk. "Another time I was in the studio when Lloyd Lawson was doing a commercial extolling the virtues of a well-known brand of refrigerator. When he opened the door it came off in his hand. "Everything was done live in those days, HE 6PR job was another that Brien and if you made a blue you were stuck with it. Now riearly all material comes out of a can, so enjoyed. As a legacy of that, he is still doing the if you fluff a line you can tape the segment football for PR — conducting the panel show again." World of Football each weekend in addition And fluffs there were in those live days. Once Brien was reading a news bulletin to describing matches. And after the game is over, he has a few when he came to a line about a famous British anaesthetist. For some reason the word drinks with the commentators from rival sta-
T
tions in a friendly atmosphere reminiscent of his early career time with 6PM but sadly lacking from the cut-throat inter-station rivalry that characterises day-to-day commercial radio now. He feels he has the best of both worlds as an "outsider" commentator like those from the other stations but he is still in the broadcasting that he loves without really having to look over his shoulder minute by minute at what the other stations are doing. His qualifications for the job are impeccable because in addition to his long electronic media experience he was general manager of the South Fremantle Football Club for three years. Initially he had some forebodings about the job because he had been a life-long Claremont supporter, but the people at South were so good that the blue and gold of his eyes swiftly changed to red and white. The colour change ran through the whole family because before long his daughters were helping to run the child-minding centre each Saturday for the off-spring of the South Fremantle players. South supporters; he says, are among the best because they stick to the club through thick and thin and once they accept you you are a friend for life. As with all football clubs, however, members expect the general manager to be at their beck and call day and night. It was nothing, for instance, for him to get a phone call at two o'clock in the morning from a convivial party with a query such as: "How old is Tom Grjulusich?" Clubs must derive other means of revenue apart from members' subscriptions and gate receipts, he feels, to keep themselves afloat financially.
H
E SUGGESTS that the mammoth upkeep cost of eight league grounds could be substantially reduced by cutting the number to four with two clubs sharing each of the four venues. In this way, too, the gate receipts per club would mount substantially because the grounds would have 21 matches a year instead of II as is the case with home venue matches now. The gold and silver selling business that he is, in now has real appeal for Brien. "Gold has been the true store of value from the time of Christ," he says. "It is a hedge against inflation because its value remains stable no matter how money values may change. "Investment in it became associated with millionaires because they had most to lose from inflation, but now the man in the street has come to realise that it is a steady sheet anchor against eroding money values." Come to think of it, Brien Vincent Thirley is a man of many parts - - and he plays each of them with veracity.

A classic serve for Bette fans
For late breakfasters and those settling d own to a relaxing afternoon, Channel Nine Presents a four star Sunday matinee with some of the best performances Hollywood ever produced. 'All About Eve' is a movie classic from 1950 which s tars Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Thelma Ritter, Marilyn Monroe and Gary Merrill. This top production won seven Academy Awards in 1 950, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders). 'All About Eve' also received Oscars for Best Screenplay, Design, Best Sound Recording, Best Director and Best Costume. The New York Film Critics awarded the movie Best Feminine Performance (Bette Davis) and Best Direction. Film critic Steven Scheuer says of the movie: "One of t he best comedy-dramas of all time. Witty, sophisticated and thoroughly entertaining film dealing with the theatre and those who toil in it. " Writer -director Joseph Mankiewicz has assembled a great cast and gets top performances, especially from t he femme performers ... Don't miss this one". The story is an inside look at the life of an ambitious actress' rise from a glamour-struck girl in a theatre alley to an award winning star. Bette Davis stars as an aging star, Gary Merrill is her Young beau, Anne Baxter a grasping actress, George Sanders a poison-pen critic, Hugh Marlowe a playwright and Celeste Holm his sugary wife.

Another "first" for Australia is the Archbishop's ratification and approval to engage a diocesan fulltimer for the Tertiary Young Christian Students Movement.
The Archbishop has assured us that the Youth A postolate will be included in any Victoria Square development that may eventuate in the future. That joy will be for some future Chaplain!

A unique aspect of the Youth Office is that it is both an administration area for the full-time workers and a drop in centre for many of the movements' members.
Both aspects are important, but the facilities of No. 29 Victoria Square have made it difficult to cope with the constant stream of young people who often come just for a chat and a cup of coffee. This time can be used constructively and, at times, be the start of a growing and worthwhile commitment to apostolic work on the youth scene. Sometimes, it can be a nuisance. The new accommodation in North Perth will make it easier for separate work and chatting areas. Our spiritual needs will be nourished by a beautiful, small chapel that will be the silent area for talking to God.

Father Warren Ford, originally from Perth, has been a Columban missionary priest in the Philippines almost continually since his ordination 15 years ago. He has been posted back to Australia on what he describes as a "return mission", bringing back to this country some good things in exchange for the good things the missionary took overseas. In this interview with The Record he ranges over the life and attitudes of a missionary today.
'They steer the boat we pull the oars' During my 14 years as a missionary in the Philippines I have seen the Church move away from being merely an institution and become a people of God and we have seen the people take great delight in this fact.
When I first went there it was a sort of 'ladies' church but since then there has been a building up of the laity so that the little farmers and f ishermen who get a little formation themselves build up their communities through prayer, liturgy, service and such conern as praying for the sick.
