IS RISEN!!

C HRIST has in fact been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. Death came through one man and in the same way the resurrection of

the dead has come through one man. Just as all men die in Adam, so all men will be brought to life in Christ; but all of them in their proper order. Christ as the first-fruits and then, after the coming of Christ, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, having done away with every sovereignty, authority and power. For he must be king until he has put all his enemies under his feet and the last of the enemies to be destroyed is death, for everything is to be put under his feet. (1 Cor. 15:14.)

The students said that most of their work was with the doctors in the hospital. However, they also made several trips with the sisters out to the surrounding villages.

No-one ever has really acquiesced in the belief that the back bench would be able to contain the remarkable resilience of Mr Bill Grayden who has a penchant for bobbing up in the most unexpected circumstances. This seems to be the only way to see in some perspective the rather remarkable bit of Liberal Party factional politicising to which local Christian churchmen were subjected this week at his. invitation. There should be nothing to say against inviting churchmen to express their views to politicians and reportedly it was a comment from a visiting American Catholic priest on similar meetings in the United States that W 6.S used as the rationale for this Perth meeting with 18 MPs. But it can only border on political opportunism when the invitation to the churchmen is trumpeted through the press with clear notice of what Mr Grayden expected them to say in his support, when television cameras were invited to muse over the spectacle and when Mr Grayden could solemnly announce to the world that the churchmen present were overwhelmingly opposed to the legalising of casinos Q.E.D. apparently, and end of the argument. The Catholic archdiocesan representative, Monsignor Hickey, made no such statement. His succinct and deliberately careful statement appears on page 3 of this issue. The views of any of the thirteen denominations were easily discernible in advance, the submissions were required to be in writing for wider circulation so the purpose of having them read to 18 government party members can only be guessed at. Playing the numbers game with a selection of diverse and diametrically opposed church members cooped up in a political party room seems to be a rather curious way for politicians to test the waters of a casino. It could have been an equally productive exercise to have established the statistical base of the churches that the various speakers were reputed to represent and whether it revealed any electoral base at all. The casino issue is far too pragmatic and far too close to the lives of flesh and blood people to • be turned into a trial of "religious" strength, or moral one-up-manship in social bemoaning, or to have politicians basking in sanctimoniously invoked piety. The people, religious or not, want to know where the shadowy casinos are going to be built — by whatever party —, who will be the owners, who will take the profits and what will be the safeguards. There are strong feelings in the community on harm individuals have suffered through excessive gambling, just as there are strong feelings on the ravages that excessive drinking and sexual promiscuity are inflicting on Australian family life even in adolescence. People should be entitled to express these fears free from the labels of being "religious", "moral", or the much abused notions of respectability or responsibility. The political party machines cannot pass the buck of moral responsibility to say how and where they intend money to flow in society today when it is abundantly evident that power comes already far too easily to the wealthy.

R LEO Gerard Hickey, who retired from the position of superintendent of works of the Perth Mint last August after 41 years' service, was born at Boulder on August 7, 1 921. He is one of 12 children, five of whom are Religious. K evin is a Redemptorist priest, Pat a Columban priest, Noel a Marist brother, Basil a Christian Brother and Dorothea a Brigidine nun. Leo and his wife Eleanor Mary (nee Casey) had eight c hildren, seven of whom are still living. Leo's early education was with the Mercy nuns at Subiaco before he went to St Ildephonsus College at New Norcia where he passed his Leaving Certificate examination in 1939 and was dux of the college. He was a member of the college's top teams in cricket, hockey, football and a thletics. He later represented the State in athletics as a long jumper and pole vaulter, played league football for Subiaco, was an umpire in the amateur association, played top -grade hockey and --on turning professional as a r unner -- won a York Sprint and was second in a York Gift. His mother was the highly-respected Subiaco parishioner Mrs Eileen Hickey who died last year and his late f ather, also named Leo, was a shift boss on the mines. During World War II Leo flew as a bomb-aimer in RAAF air -crew.

It was a change that delighted the egalitarian Leo, nephew of a former Minister in a Labor government, and he reckons it was accompanied by a lift in camaraderie and efficiency. The athletic stripling was interested w hen he saw the position advertised in the newspaper because the Mint then was purely a gold refinery, his

were fitter and faster and, most importantly, learned to take bumps. "Thus for me the transition to league football was a lot easier than it was for many other young players." Haydn Bunton senior was the coach of Subiaco in that year of 1941. Les Hardiman ("a real gentleman") was also playing but Keith

Shea, the Maroons' other expensive importation, had returned to the Eastern States. "Bunton senior was a great talker on the field," Leo says. "You always knew where he was. He seemed to regard his main job to be getting kicks — and he got plenty. "He was not nearly as good a coach as his son was later, but there is evidence that he was able to impart his k nowledge in the success of his son as a coach. "Most unusually for footballers then, Haydn senior used to train strenuously right throughout the year. Consequently he could run all day. I think he would have done very well in today's football. "Footballers then were not nearly as fit as they are today and as a result the game now is a lot faster and a much better spectacle.

c oaching children. He works with problem children and handicapped students and accepts the challenge of training a new girls track team, the Duke City Dashers. Baker's battle turns into an affirmation of life — not only of his own, but of those whose hearts and spirits he touches.

The day Stephanie Keel met coach John Baker was really the first day of the rest of her life. That day she was three years old and had osteomylitis, a bone marrow disorder which could have made her a cripple and even cause her to lose her right leg. Today, at 15 years of age, Stephanie is a champion runner who holds more than 25 records in her home State of New Mexico. Stephanie is very much a part of the story of John Baker, a track star and teacher whose dedication to children during the final months of his life is related in Channel Nine's Sunday movie A Shining Season, at 8.35pm. The disease had caused one of Stephanie's legs to be shorter than the other. Her doctor informed her parents that unless the small girl exercised the leg it would be permanently damaged and might have to be removed. At this time, her sister Lori joined the Duke City Dashers, a girls' track team in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which Baker was coaching. The handsome young former track star, who had once hoped to be in the 1972 Olympics, now had terminal cancer. He was trying to pass his love of running and competing to the girls. Baker noticed her and, when he learned of her problems, made her an honorary Dasher. Each new girl, if they wanted to join the track team, had to run a race with Stephanie. The cheers of the other girls encouraged her and, more importantly, Baker now had her up on her feet exercising. He also taught her that it didn't matter whether she won as long as she tried her best. "The pain remained whenIran," she said. "But Coach Baker taught me about how to make 'monster faces' to scare away the pain and concentrate on my running." 2• , A Stephanie was five when she competed in the Girls National Amateur Athletic Terry Oakley (6) of the Slow Learning Children's Group of WA and Gillian Bailey (4) from the WA Society Union races in Wycliffe, Ohio.

lo conclude "Taking a look at Ourselves" we look this week, at the Young Christian tudents' movement whose inspiration (from Cardinal Joseph Cardijn) is the belief that al3ostles should be "like to like". Therefore, young people are apostles to young people, Forkers to workers and students to students.

Great emphasis is made of this in the Documents of Vatican II referring to the Lay Apostolate. "They themselves themselves and through 01.ight to become the prime and direct apostles of youth, exercising the apostolate among th emselves and reckoning with the social environment in which they live.years of adolescence and through overcoming the ' The objective of the full-

YCS develops understanding

time!rs is to work with the students to develop their und erstanding of YCS, of t heir faith and how it rela tes to their everyday life, so that they will take on responsibility for the mo iement, for their own and the lives of others. The Perth YCS movemerit to-day has steadily gro ovn since its introduction in WA in the early 195 O's and the first app ointment of a fulltim worker, Pauline Gee in 1970, to 22 groups wit hin parishes and seccmdary schools thus nec essitating the ap-

pointment of a third fulltime worker early this year to join the team to work within these groups and extend the movement to the northern suburbs. Margaret Saunders commenced full-timing in early 1981 after leaving school in 1980 and "sees full-timing as a continuation of working to build the Kingdom of God in the student world".

The youngest member of the team, Bronwen Gray left school at the end of last year and because, as a christian, she believes in the three truths formulated by Joseph Cardijn — Truth of Faith (he knew from his faith and from the gospel that people have value beyond measure. Each person was created by God for a special purpose); Truth of Experience (he saw all around him people not being

treated with importance and dignity) and the Truth of Method (in the student world a method of overcoming the contradiction between the first two truths is the Y CS movement) and having been part of a school environment, she sees the need to work together with other students for a change in the student world. As YCS is a secondary students' movement led for, by and among stu-

dents, full-timers are only complementary to the development of the m ovement. Students often find themselves in a situation where the truth of faith is contradicted. T eresa Dix, who worked for a year in the Public Service before c ommencing full-time w ork early this year, found being in a working situation very different. It made her realise how important it is to have a method of

working through -sit uations we are involved in. "Being an active christian makes one aware of situations and working t owards changing the injustices of society, if encouraged from the earliest school age, will continue throughout life", Teresa said. Margaret said Pope Paul VI had stated: "It is the role of YCS to form christians whose faith, strengthened during the

doubts of youth, maintains deliberate and absolute convictions able to sustain a strong apostolic life". Margaret. Teresa and B ronwen certainly appear to carry out their strong convictions in the cause of the student world with great christian idealism and hopefully you may be inspired by their zest to join YCS or start a group in your school or parish with the knowledge that you are welcome to see them at any time in their new office.
