Bishops call Take a train to Po pe see for 'pull-out' Transferred
PRETORIA, South African (NC) — The Southern African Catholic bishops have asked South Africa to withdraw from Namibia, which has been under South African control since 1920.
R OME (NC) -Meh met Ali Agca, the 24-year-old Turk serving a life sentence for his May 13, 1981, attempt on the life of Pope John Paul II, was secretly transferred to a Rome prison on April 29, the Italian news agency ANSA reported. The report said Agca, who had been held in solitary confinement at the Marino Del Trono maximum security prison in Ascoli Piceno. about 100 miles from R ome, since August 10, was taken to the Rebibbia Prison, also a maximum security facility, in the suburbs of Rome. A NSA said the transfer was probably made to allow interrogation of the prisoner by Rome magistrates still investigating the assassination attempt. Agca was expected to be returned to Ascoli Piceno after the interrogations ended.

CEC: 'Take another look at Church'
\oks
The Catholic Enquiry Centre has prepared and released a new course to invite Catholics who are no longer active in the practice of their faith to return and "take another look at the Church".

It is modelled on a course ten - it has just become a habit, a being used most successfully way of life. But, in the intervening in the United States, but has years, both they and the Church been re-written extensively by have changed. the centre for use in Australia. "Perhaps it is time to get together Dr James M. FitzPatrick, 0.M.I., national director of the Catholic Enquiry Centre, expresses great hopes for its success. "A fact that we must all face is that in a great part of Australia there are more Catholics inactive in their faith than there are Catholics who practise it regularly," he said. "As we acknowledge the problem with concern, we must seek a solution with even greater concern. There are a multitude of reasons — in fact, as many reasons as there are individuals — why Catholics are inactive, and whilst we must look to and examine these for the future, the Church must reach out to those who are already inactive." "Many of these people may have just drifted away or even have had a "lover's quarrel" with the Church at some time. " Years of estrangement have followed. "Maybe even the cause of the break no longer exists, or has been forgot-
again for their sake, and also for the Church's sake. We must take the initiative and issue the invitation. "It is sad to hear, as one does frequently, that this break has continued, and that there has been no return `. . . because no one ever asked me'." The centre's programme is simple and direct. The whole parish is enthused to assist and pray for the programme. Names are gathered on a "Contact Sunday". Letters of invitations are sent, which are followed by a personal telephone call.

The handbook of the programme also contains some facts about inactive Catholics, with Australian figures, and it summarises recent research on the matter.

ARMS POSE RISK OF INSOLVENCY
"Unfortunately, in the past, some people have looked on inactive Catholics only in a condemnatory fashion. Surely our faith today demands a positive approach. "The majority of baptised Catholics in Australia are non-sacramental in practice. "What active concern are we showing for them? They share our common faith in the depth of heart and mind", Dr FitzPatrick said, "and our relationship to them is an indication of our own faith. They are perhaps the biggest part of the Australian Catholic Church. "The original programme has been used in many different parishes. "Experience over four years has shown that 40% to 60% of those contacted (whether they attend the six sessions or not) are back practising their faith within two years! "This success rate must surely lead
us to explore and embark on the programme. "Enthusiasm for and commitment to our own faith should compel us to reach out. We must never condemn ourselves to bear the burden of guilt of not having tried. The matter is too import3nt." In his written introduction to the programme, Dr FitzPatrick concludes: "This programme is geared to inviting and facilitating our brothers and sisters in the faith who, for a great variety of reasons, are no longer active in the practice of our common faith, to return and ... take another look at the Church. "If in the process of conducting this programme, the Church in any parish also takes another look at itself. then this programme can be the source of a double blessing."

Marty ham his messa A
S A BOY in Victoria Park, football was the consuming enthusiasm of Marty Crowe. and was a delegate to the Amateur Athletic Association. He is now a life member of both the club and the association. At an association meeting he mentioned to George Skeels that he was getting a bit long in the tooth for sprinting and joked that he might take up hammer throwing, a pursuit in which he was not really remotely interested. "There's a hammer in my garage, George responded. "You can have it if you want it." So that night, in a mood of curiosity rather than anything else, he called round to George's place and picked it up. The contraption intrigued him. Marty is not a man to do things by halves, so he wrote away for films and bought books on the art of hammer throwing. He was working in East Perth at the time and each lunch hour he used to ride his bike over to the National Fitness Council then in James Street and study the films with the aid of their projector.

The thump of boot on ball anywhere within earshot drew him running to the spot. He and other little afficianados used to sit at the Kent Street oval, a long way from his home, waiting patiently for somebody to turn up with a football. Often among his eager colleagues was Ron Tucker, later to achieve stardom with Perth. At the first opportunity he played in the Cobbers competition, worked his way up to the Metropolitan Juniors (the "Mets"), graduated to the Amateur Association and finally — after a hiatus due to war service — played with the Perth Seconds. At that time his older brother Temple (better known as Tim) was achieving some success as a sprinter. One day Tim and fellow-sprinter Bruce Gorey invited Marty to "give them something to catch" at running training. Several times they conceded him a few yards start and on each occasion the youngster won clearly.

MA RTY was on his final upswing and just about to let go, the wire on his hammer broke and the 161b ball shot at great speed between the official's legs. A little to either side and it would have broken one of the limbs; a little higher and it would have done him an even more serious mischief. Another time at Perry Lakes Stadium some maladministration concerning the safety cage led to an hilarious incident that might well have proved fatal. Those responsible for positioning it forgot to put in the end panel on the left-hand side. State javelin record holder and sometime hammer thrower Dick Arnold let go too early. The hammer flew through the space where the end panel of the safety cage should have been. Rows of girls were lined up nearby to compete in their heats of the 100 metres sprint and one heat was actually on the starting blocks. Starter Ossie Waddell was standing on his box, the starting pistol held high in his right hand and the recall pistol on his left hand behind his neck. The screaming girls scattered at the shout of "look out!" A split-second later Ossie Waddell fired simultaneously in his shock both the starting and recall pistols as the hurtling hammer crashed into the box on which he was standing. His obscenities rang clear above the hubbub of confusion. Then there was the time when the W.A. contingent had just finished competing in the Australian championships in Adelaide.
M
R MARTIN (Marty) Francis Crowe was born at Ballarat. Victoria, on June 21, 1923. He started school at St. Joachim's in Victoria Park, went on to CBC Terrace and was an original pupil at Aquinas College in 1938. His first job was with the Southern Cross windmill company at Maylands before army service from 1941 to early 1946 after which he matriculated and joined the staff of the Commonwealth Works and Housing Department (now Housing and Construction) from which he retired through ill-health in 1978. During his service with the department he qualified as an accountant and in commercial computing. An outstanding athlete who represented Australia in the Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956, he has held or still holds 14 State records as a relay sprinter and hammer thrower. He first broke the State hammer throw record in 1956 and the figure of 54.55 metres that he set in 1963 still stands. Marty was president of the Holy Name Society at St Joachim's for five years; on the parish council for 10 years with two years as chairman; a board member of the St. Joachim's High School for four years and chairman of its finance committee for a year; on the board of the St. Joachim's Primary School for eight years, its chairman for two of those years and is currently its treasurer. Marty and his wife Pat (nee Toohey) have a 31-year-old daughter, Jennifer Anne (Mrs Denis Blair), and a 28-yearold son, Michael, who is now living in Honolulu. Australian champion walker and Olympic representative Don Keane, a bit of a wag, suggested to officials conducting an athletics meeting the following day that the champion W.A. relay team be invited to compete. The proposal was eagerly accepted. The officials, who had not been associated with the Australian championships, were not to know that Marty was the only member of Keane's team with any ability as a sprinter. The others were Keane himself, high jumper Clive Beford-Brown and discus thrower Don Kidd. The baton presented by Keane for use by the WA team was a carpenter's claw hammer.
W
HEN the race got under way the starting W.A. runner left the track at the commencement of the first bend, cut across the oval and handed the "baton" to his waiting team mate — a procedure followed at each bend by every member of the W.A. team. "We only just got nutted out at the finish," Marty recalls. Initially the officials were not amused, but their attitude quickly mellowed when they saw the enjoyment that the crowd had derived from the comedy turn. Sharp tricks by a few unscrupulous competitors over the years have led to the strict regulations that now govern hammer throwing. One fellow, for instance, used to surreptitiously drain a little of the mer-
cury out of his hammer before he threw and the lighter weight enabled him to cover extraordinary distances. Another ,would substitute a wire a few inches longer than the allowed 4ft on the pretext that the original had broken. Neither of these offences occurred in W.A.. Marty hastens to add. Largely as a result of this type of trickery, wires are now measured under pressure and hammers carefully weighed before each championship and both are kept under constant surveillance by officials. If a record is broken, the hammer and its wire used by the competitor are again measured and weighed. "You can approach any sport in one of two ways," Marty says. "Either you go in for it for fun and to keep fit, or you enter it with the purpose of reaching the top. "If you chose the second course as a hammer thrower you need to study to gain a thorough knowledge of its art and science, plenty of dedication and training, and a good coach. "I always had 'butterflies' before competing in any event at any level. If you don't have them it means that your adrenalin is not pumping and your performance will suffer. "Don't worry about them. They always disappear as soon as you actually get started." Take note, you young competitors in any sport, of this advice from one who knows.

Guy discovered another side of the Nullarbor, the boring stretch of land connecting us to the Eastern States and the dread of many interstate travellers.
Along the Nullarbor, andparticularly beneath the surface, is a fascinating complex of caves — Guy and his team found one cave 14 kilometres long. Further along the Nullarbor, just 75 kilometres from a roadhouse the Baskin crew found a "blowhole" 10ft across and 150ft deep down to cavern. Wind rushesfrom the shaft, a naturalforma(ion of the rocks, at a rate of about 60 kms per hour. The Baskin team, climbing down the shaft, said it was like climbing into a cyclone. Said Guy: "Apart from the deafening noise, we faced the difficulty of climbing down with all our film gear, too. " The onlv means of transport into the cavern was down the blowhole on a narrow rope ladder — not recommended for the faint hearted."

Down in the cavern the team discovered the mummified remains of a large kangaroo which probably fell down the hole as it was hopping along. The cave's climate keeps the body in its mummified form. Others caves features in the documentary have their own special qualities, too. One is the site of what is believed to be the largest salt stalagmite in the world, now housed at the museum of WA and Guy's film is the onlyfilm to be shot of the origin of this monstrous s talagmite. And in another cave, although the crew knew they were not the first visitors to the area, Guy and his team were surprised to find a bill of sale dated 1933. Obviously a visitor to the cave at that time had dropped the paper and it had been preserved under the climatic conditions of the cave.

The screen story of Nicholas and Alexandra, begins with the birth of the heir the Russian throne in 1904 and ends with the execution of Tsar Nicholas 11, his wife, and childrentoin 1918. Producer Sam Spiegel and director Franklin .1. Schaffner have used some of the world's top actors for this Columbia film.

Stalin (James Hazeldine), Krupskaya (Vivian Pickles), Trotsky (Brian ('ox). and Martov (Stephen Greif) are already scheming and plotting to rouse the Russian workers against the autocracy of the House of Romanov, which has ruled Russia for 300 years, The contrast between the glittering court life of the Romanovs and the peasantry, typified by workers in the field and factories, is highlighted by the luxurious christening and reception given for Alexis. Here, Nicholas and Alexandra, with the Dowager Empress Marie (Irene Worth), Grand Duke Nicholas (Nikolasha) (Harry Andrews). Count Fredericks (Jack Hawkins). Prince Felix Yussoupov (Martin Potter), Prime Minister Witte (Sir Laurence Olivier), with the entourage of the Romanovs display the opulence of life in the palaces, while the solemn NN itte and the shrewd Nikolasha beg Nicholas to ship the senseless war against Japan and to grant the Russian people a parliament. The story follows history: As Alexis grew up it became obvious that he had inherited the dread disease of haemophilia, which ran through the royal families of England and Spain through Queen Victoria and her descendants. Tsarina Alexandra, a German princess, was a granddaughter of Victoria.

And the Methodists revelled in music — there was more than enough to keep Nellie coming back time and again. Her conversion to Catholicism was a gradual process, it came about more by example than by persuasion.

The story is that of an 18. security of a job on a stayear old boy (a 'stripling' a tion in the foothills of the 'lad). He emerges as a man Great Dividing Range. during an epic horseback Drawn to his mountain chase, and then passes into roots, he befriends a legend. A boy from Snowy grizzled old eccentric, River becomes The Man Spur, who is strangely at odds with the station From Snowy River. He has his difficulties owner. The latter is Harrialong the way.

The beloved mountains for the boy's employer and a hard t askmaster, Harrison • ".•-•i•:\ becomes the yardstick against which the boy's d evelopment will be judged. Harrison's daughter Jessica, strong-willed and w ith much to prove herself, deN elopes a strong but volatile relationship with the lad.
The boy's horse is unusual. It is mountain bred, by Spur, and reflects the boy's separation from other stockmen on the station, w ho hold it in no high regard for the sort of work they do on the plains. Clancy of the Overflow — "no better horseman ever held the reins" — comes down to lend a hand and his legendary presence is always felt.
