NOVEL VOCATIONS DRIVE BEGUN The first Australian presentation of a unique vocations programme was given last week at La Salle College by a team who spent ten months preparing for the event.

The programme was sponsored by the Sisters Vocation Council and was the result of an idea known as the Caring Church programme, brought back from overseas by local Columban superior Father P.J. Kelly.

After graduating from the University of WA, with a Master's Degree in Social Work (1972) he became full-time director of the Catholic Family Welfare Bureau and the Catholic Marriage Guidance Council.

"The Church is first of all a group of men who have Christ's authority to transmit His life-giving message. The written word (the Bible) came much later.

Difficulties seen in educanon It was easy to enunciate the aims of eduction but extremely difficult and complex to put the ideals into practice and to achieve the aims, Archbishop Goody said at the opening of $1.35 million lona College extensions recently.

He also hinted to the premier Mr Ray O'Connor, that in a time of rising interest sates, the state government interest subsidy of 71 2 / per cent might be worthy of review.

prising how much little farther that is even though it is so important." Noting that the Commonwealth government contribution to the present $1.35 million programme was $90,000, Archbishop Goody pointed out that this was a mere 6.6% of the total a nd this fact needed to be pointed out "at a time when people say the government is wasting money on independent schools."

sions said the challenge facing us most is that of the family unit. Praising the attendance of parents at the opening, the premier said he was often saddened at the lack of contribution by parents at sporting, social and school functions.

CHURCH LEAVERS' REASONS

Many Catholics are leaving the Church to join Pentecostal churches according to the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

At a recent meeting in Melbourne the committee said that its investigations had shown that the people leaving the Catholic Church experienced frustration at not hearing the word of God proclaimed with clarity and at not growing in the understanding of the word as they found in other churches.

Other reasons for leaving, the Renewal committee said were: * frustration in the lack of avenues to serve in ministry in the Body of Christ; * inroads made by worldly standards into the Church on questions of sexual morality and uncertainty of Christian doctrine; * a belief that the Catholic Church has been rendered powerless, fearful, compromised and devoid of fervour for the Lord and His gospel.

Confirmation age tv aticanese' is requires thought

The finer theology of the Ascension may be lost on a noisy world busy about school holidays, but it is not such a far cry from the frowning farmers scanning the dry horizons to the bewildered Apostles peering after the departing Lord. It was the critical moment before the birth of the Church. It was the point where the apostles either turned back in disappointment or prepared to launch out in the Spirit.

It is an appropriate time for the Christian Churches to accept the common task of praying for unity. That there should be prayer is not for debate. Jesus prayed for unity and His followers have no option but to follow His lead. This is not to suggest that former generations have not prayed for unity.

For Catholics, prayer for unity took the nononsense approach of wishing the errant churches of the Orthodox schism or the Protestant Reformation to see the error of their ways and get back smartly into the one true Church. Catholics now appreciate that the prayer has not been answered promptly and that the true quality of prayer for unity must arise from within the renewal of the Church launched by Vatican Abstract notions of theological unity are one thing but the physical realities of the times are also very influential.

MOT A PLACE TO SELL

A Catholic view of unity was based to a degree on the fact that since the time of Constantine, the Catholic Church had maintained a strong place in the government of at least Western Europe. This concept is rapidly changing now that substantial Catholic populations exist in places such as South America, the Philippines or the black nations of Africa. Anglicanism took a leaf out of the Catholic book and flourished by moving down the trails blazed into the British colonies. That too has changed. Whatever status Anglicanism enjoyed from official patronage has all but evaporated and that church also faces the eroding winds of secularism just like other churches.

i

Like the underdogs, the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches were almost brash in their determination to survive against the forces of Anglicanism or Catholicism but they too saw their loyal base crumble fast.

The Catholic espousal of the new unity search is based on the fundamental principle that unity between the churches is a corollary of the unity within the Church so clearly enunciated in the pages of Vatican II.

The Catholic Church has to learn to cope with its sheer size and universality - the thousands of bishops and the hundreds of dioceses which have mushroomed in less than a century.

members, others as many as 20 but most average 10. The members take the name, address and details and visit the family in need, usually in pairs. "People who live the most normal of lives can find themselves in need. Like the man who rang today. He worked in a supermarket, slipped on some spilt oil and injured his back. His case is coming up for compensation so he doesn't get sickness benefits. Sure, he'll get money in the end but that may take three or four weeks. If there is no financial backup, and how many of us have money in the bank, then what does he live on for three weeks? How does he feed his children? "The system is not geared to the 'little people' but you have to have 'little people' to have 'big people'," she said. A keen tennis and squash player in the past, Merle now spends much of her day tied to the phone. It's not unusual for Telecom to break in and check the line because it has been in constant use for hours. Yes, it's pressurised at times, but it's also worth it. The phone is a lifeline to thousands and for Merle, it's a chance to help make life just a little happier for someone else. "We see them on their own ground and that's important," Merle said. "In many ways we're walking into unknown territory. It's not always easy but we try to instill in our members that the families get the benefit of the doubt even though some do try to pull the wool over our e yes. "The family must be treated with dignity, often that's all they have left. Usually we deal with the woman but we are beginning to get a few supporting fathers." Merle joined the Society in 1975. Her husband was a member and she took calls at home and accompanied

him on visits. It was just as easy to join and by September last year she was working full time.

S

HE SEES the Society's role as changing but vital as ever before. "In the past it was not well known," she said. "Those in need approached us through their parish priest. Now we are a recognised name, Australiawide and world-wide. With the recent social security cheque crisis in

Born in Geraldton in 1935, her father, Victor Satie moved to WA from Echuca in Victoria and her mother, Daphne (nee Gillfuis) came from Broomhill. Merle was the seventh of nine children — five boys and four girls. The family moved to Perth when she was six because Victor Satie was transferred with the railways. Her school days were spent at St Aloysius in Shenton Park. When she left she nursed her sick mother for a time and then joined an upholstering firm until her marriage at the age of 23 to Patrick Miller.

T

HE TWO had met at a Rugby Union dance six years before but were parted when Patrick went to England and joined the RAF. They met again in Melbourne in 1958 and became engaged. Married in April, 1959, the young couple left soon after for a posting in Northern Ireland. Their first son, Bernard, now 22, was born there. "We lived at Castle Rock for 16 months. It was a little township and the people were really friendly, I loved it," Merle said. From Ireland they moved to Singapore for two and a half years. Daughter, Frances, now 19 was born there.

She had to give her first talk at the conference, on women in society and thei(strength. The subject was close to her heart although the public speaking was nerve-wracking. She's learned a lot since then and standing in front of a crowd worries her less. She enjoys her work and says living daily with life's tragedies doesn't make her disheartened, depressed or disillusioned. "It only points out how fortunate I am. Yes, it is getting worse and I don't see an answer. It's a worldwide situation which is worsened by the economic climate," she said.

B

UT WE live in a society that makes it easy for people to get into debt. Money is glossed over all of the time. The television throws out lines like: 'Buy this, no payment for six months.' Of course people think: 'I can afford that in six months,' and as often as not in six months they can't. "In one case a family had a car re-possessed. They still owe $2,000 on it which they are paying off at $5a week. They'll never get ahead. "Then there's the young supporting mother who bought everything for the baby on Bankcard, around $900. Of course, she eventually tore up her Bankcard but she still has to pay it off and most of the money she does pay goes in interest. 44

'The family must be treated with diginity, often, that's all they have left' Sydney it was St Vincent de Paul which saved the day in providing money to tide people over. "We're the ones who take the backlash of rising costs and interest rates. A lot of people class us as a `bandaid' and I know well the saying: 'Don't give fish when you can teach a man to fish', but we have to do something. "Some Conferences are trying to give more practical aid, such as helping people to work out budgets, but their time is voluntary and therefore limited. The members have to find their own way. Many join with the glorious idea to change but fall by the wayside because they can't face the nitty-gritty of life, because St Vincent's is not their ideal of giving . . . it's a plodding thing." But there's nothing plodding about Merle Miller, practical perhaps, and pragmatic . . . she's seen her fair share of life.

Then followed 19 months in Cornwall, England, where daughter Teresa, now 18, was born. The moving became harder with a young family and in 1964 they moved 'home' to Perth. Two more children followed, Elizabeth in 1964 and Gerard in 1965. The family moved to Nollamara and became members of the Parish of St Gerard's, Mirrabooka. In between raising a family Merle found time to teach calisthenics and spent eight years at St Gerard's taking sport lessons for classes one to seven. There was also time for church cleaning rosters, P & F, tuckshop and a bit of choir work. By this time it was 1975 and she had joined St Vincent's. In the same year she was one of three to attend the International Women's Year Conference in New South Wales as a member of the State Council of St Vincent de Paul.

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around That the colt from old Regret had got away, and had joined the wild bush horses — he was worth a thousand pound, so all the cracks had gathered to the fray. All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far had mustered at the homestead overnight, for the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are, and the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight. There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup, the old man with his hair as white as snow; but few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up — he would go wherever horse and man could go. And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand, no better horseman ever held the reins; For never horse could throw him while the saddle-girths would stand — he learnt to ride while droving on the plains. And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast; He was something like a racehorse undersized, with a touch of Timor pony — three parts thoroughbred at least — and such as are by mountain horsemen prized. He was hard and tough and wiry — just the sort that won't say die There was courage in his quick impatient tread; and he bore the Badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye, and the proud and lofty carriage of his head. But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay; And the old man said, 'That horse will never do for a long and tiring gallop — lad, you'd better stop away, those hills are far too rough for such as you.' So he waited, sad and wistful — only Clancy stood his friend — I ' think we ought to let him come,' he said; 'I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end, for both his horse and he are mountain bred. 'He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko 's side, where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough; where a horse's hoof strike firelight from the flintstones every stride, the man that holds his own is good enough. A nd the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, where the river runs those giant hills between;Ihave seen full many horsemen sinceIfirst commenced to roam, but nowhere yet such horsemen haveIseen.' So he went; — they found the horses by the big mimosa clump, they raced away towards the mountain's brow, and the old man gave his orders, 'Boys, go at them from the jump, no use to try for fancy riding now. A nd Clancy, you must wheel them, try and wheel them to the right, ride boldly lad, and never fear the spills, for never yet was rider that could keep the mob in sight, if once they gain the shelter of those hills! So Clancy rode to wheel them — he was racing on the wing where the best and boldest riders take their place, and he raced his stock-horse past them, and he made the ranges ring with the stockwhip, as he met them face to face. Then they halted for a moment, while he swung the dreaded lash, but they saw their well-loved mountain full in view, and they charged beneath the stockwhip with a sharp and sudden dash, and off into the mountain scrub they flew. Then fast the horsemen followed, where the gorges deep and black resounded to the thunder of their tread, and the stock whips woke the echoes, and they fiercely answered back from cliffs and crags that beetled overhead. A nd upward, ever upward, the wild horses held their way, where mountain ash and kurrajong grew wide; and the old man muttered fiercely, 'We may bid the mob good day, no man can hold them down the other side.' When they reached the mountain's summit, even Clancy took a pullit well might make the boldest hold their breath; the wild hop scrub grew thickly, and the hidden ground was full of wombat holes, and any slip was death. But the man from Snowy River let the pony have his head, and he swung his stockwhip round and gave a cheer, and he raced him down the mountain like a torrent down its bed, while the others stood and watched in very fear. He sent the flint-stones/lying, but the pony kept his feet, he cleared the fallen timber in his stride, and the man from Snowy River never shifted in his seat — it was grand to see that mountain horseman ride. Through the stringy barks and saplings, on the rough and broken ground, down the hillside at a racing pace he went; A nd he never drew the bridle till he landed safe and sound at the bottom of that terrible descent. He was right among the horses as they climbed the farther hill, and the watchers on the mountain standing mute, saw him ply the stockwhip fiercely; he was right among them still, as he raced across the clearing in pursuit. Then they lost him for a moment, where two mountain gullies met in the ranges — but a final glimpse reveals on a dim and distant hillside the wild horses racing yet, with the Man from Snowy River at their heels. A nd he ran them single-handed till their sides were white with foam, he followed like a bloodhound on their track, till they halted, cowed and beaten; then he turned their heads for home, and alone and unassisted brought them hack. But his hardy mountain pony he could scarcely raise a trot, he was blood from hip to shoulder from the spur; but his pluck was still undaunted, and his courage fiery hot, for never yet was mountain horse a cur. A nd down by Kosciusko, where the pine-clad ridges raise their torn and rugged battlements on high, where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze at midnight in the cold and frosty sky, and where around the Overflow the reed-beds sweep and sway to the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide, The Man from Snowy River is a household word today, and the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

The Record, May 13-19, 1982, „ t- 4, (.


Don't miss second leg The second leg of the rich American Triple Crown for three-year-old racehorses will be telecast by Channel Nine on Sunday, May 16, at 7am. The first leg, the Kentucky Derby, was won in fine style on Saturday, May 1, by the grey, Cato del Sol, who weaved his way through the 20-strong field to hit the front with 100 metres to go and hold out the opposition. Few horses have achieved the honour of winning all three Triple Crown events, but now only one threeyear-old has a chance of completing the treble, Cato del Sol. The final leg of the Triple Crown is the Belmont Stakes. Cato del Sol will now face up to an outstanding Preakness field, which will include Linkage, winner of the prestigious Blue Grass Stakes. Linkage was scratched from the Kentucky Derby because his trainer preferred to concentrate on the Preakness and the result could prove him somewhat wiser than some of his peers who started their chargs in the Derby when they were not equal to the distance.
