"REJOICE IN THE LORD"

Record A certain predictable type of Catholic will be tut -tutting or foot -stamping at the exchange of statements that appear on the front pages of this and last week's edition of The Record. It is the sort of person who pretends to feel more secure if there is no printed hint of division or disagreement at whatever level in the church. It is the sort of person who for too long has sanctimoniously lectured the Catholic Press about putting in the "right" things, the version that will please some Heavenly Reader who otherwise may never know that all is not a lways well down below the cloud line. The Record welcomes the statements of both bodies because for too long Catholics have not been told sufficiently what is the question at dispute, not only on this Aboriginal question but in many other aspects of practical church life where people's feelings, attitudes and decisions operate. If the parties appear to be at odds, there is no cause for alarm. It is only by the sober exchange of points of view, and even versions of the same story, that some sanity wil l be reached. It is the nature of today's world for issues to be dealt with instantly and in the full glare of press and other media. The Catholic paper is the correct forum for this to take place. The unfortunate people are those who feel they have been adequately served if they see Pope John Paul waving at them from a television clip. There is no great Umpire to award points for winning in a communications debate. The church has been defined by Vatican II a s a Sacrament of Unity — as a living, grace f i lled community of hot-blooded people who otherwise would set about destroying each other on dozens of issues, right down to the running of the parish fete, unless they heeded St Paul that all are one in Christ — a nd really mean it.

old news film which gives the bare outline of two brothers found shot dead in Northern Ireland. In this programme, Joan Orr tells her own story of her hopes and fears during that night in 1972 when her family became news headlines, how subsequently tragedy turned into a kind of hope and how she found the faith to survive. Produced by BBC.
Sheridan Jobbins bounces her way onto the programme with a delightful report on a debutante's ball, a tradition which is fast disappearing in most parts of Australia, but still an annual highlight for many country towns and the elite upper class.
Couple — Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau with Carol Burnett in a cameo role as Mollie Malloy. Matthau plays the unscrupulous editor Walter Burns and Lemmon the ace reporter, Hildy Johnson. Outside the pressroom of the Chicago criminal courts in a courtyard, men are setting up the gallows for Earl Williams (Austin Pendleton), convicted slayer of a policeman, and the grandstands for the newsmen. At the press room, an e xpected visitor enters in the person of streetwalker Mollie Malloy ( Carol Burnett), who berates them for linking her romantically with Earl Williams. When Hildy arrives to announce his marriage plans, a rowdy celebration begins and is intercepted by the wounded slayer hurtling through the window. The plot is fast moving and has a surprise ending.

Southern sizzler Michael Caine, Jane Fonda, Faye Dunaway, and Diahann Carroll head the cast list in Channel Nine's Thursday movie, Hurry Sundown, at 8.35pm. Based on the best-selling novel by K.B. Gilden;the epic length movie revolves around the economic and racial tensions c onfronting America's South i mmediately following World War II, telling the story of three couples.
. ...**004,10stmoar • "*Oilk
Henry Warren, played by Michael Caine, is a virile, bigoted and avaricious young man who used the time gained by evading military service to solidify himself in business. His wife, Julie Ann (Jane Fonda), independently wealthy, becomes a pawn in his relentless drive for wealth and position. Rad McDowell (John Phillip Law), is a returning serviceman who finds his farm in danger of being gobbled up by a monster corporation.
His wife, Lou, who stands by him, is played by Faye Dunaway. Reeve Scott (Robert Hooks) is a young Negro ex-serviceman, a neighbour of the McDowell's, whose farm faces a similar fate. Diahann Carroll plays Vivian Thurlow, the schoolteacher who is in love with him. These are three couples caught up in t he swirls and eddies of the rapidly shifting community and whose lives are irrevocably altered by economic, social, and sexual drives. .Produced and directed by Otto Preminger, of Exodus fame, Hurry Sundown is an intense personal story which paints a picture of a locale and of an era in sweeping dramatic strokes. To capture the true flavour of the events dramatised in the film, the entire movie was filmed on location in and around Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Jane Fonda and Michael Caine star in a scene from Channel Nine Perth's Thursday movie Hurry Sundown at 8.35pm. •************************.***************************************************•******************************•****•***********# The Record, August 5 — 11, 1982 10 4r

But times have changed. One of the refreshing changes of the new teaching methods is that students are allowed to be more vocal in expressing criticisms and objections. It is true that some misuse this freedom with irresponsible criticism, but by and large I think students today are honest and sincere in their complaints. What may be even more surprising is that many complain not that life isn't sufficiently easy but voice objections about life not being hard enough.
Exclusive For generations teachers in the field of religious instruction were tied almost exclusively to rote teaching of the questions a nd answers of the catechism. The wave of caring, sharing, loving and gropin g for knowledge t ogether washed the catechism away. Many found t hemselves paddling around in a quagmire of religion that gave a warm cosy feeling hut no convictions about faith built on a solid foundation of truth and fact.
Today students are wanting answers to questions about their Catholic faith — they also want to know how to take a moral stand on the evils that surround them. Many are dissatisfied with mere opinion seeking and the expressing of 'personal feelings. The experience of religion at home or at school needs to be backed up with facts and truth — historical, scriptural and those gleaned from the teaching of the church down through the ages.

7."
Teachers in Catholic schools often find themselves on the mat and are asked to give answers as well as be a witness to a Catholic life style. Sadly some don't know the facts and some don't witness to their faith. How can a teacher present the church if deep down there is no love for the church? How can a teacher speak about the eucharist on Friday and never darken the church on Sunday? Jesus warned us to take note of and learn from the simplicity of children. I think our young people can tell us many things about life here of earth and later in heaven.

BUT,

"I've changed jobs a lot because I get bored easily," she grinned. In mid 1977 she packed and went off to Sydney. It was a new place and much bigger than Perth but it was only a matter of being systematic and finding her way around, she said. She returned to Perth and worked at Irrabeena in West Perth for a time. Restricted to jobs that were accessible by public transport she nevertheless managed to find enough new positions to keep her stimulated. Then it was on to Hollywood Repatriation Hospital for 15 months, a four month holiday overseas and then marriage and a stint at St George's Nursing Home before the arrival of Ursula. For the past four years she has had a guide dog, large, lovable, Merran who has also recently been 'in the wars' with an operation on her paw.
It's not the sort of thing that Judy Fuchs would approve of. She's a vociferous opponent of the 'all you can do is make cane baskets' syndrome which she says debilitates the blind. Her parents weren't overprotective, she says, and it certainly paid dividends. She had no fear of finding her way around London alone and says the white cane is really extremely effective.

The school at Yiyili began operating on March 22. It wouldn't be exactly accurate to say that it opened its doors on that day though, because the school at Yiyili has no doors.
Just a rough shelter with a concrete floor, a few second-hand chairs and desks and a couple of bookshelves.
Furniture may be thin on the ground at Yiyili, but there's no shortage of enthusiasm. At an hour when most other Australian school children (not to mention teachers)
are still rubbing the sleep from their eyes, school is already under way at Yiyili. The four classes, ranging from pre-school to primary, start at 7.00am, work at normal school subjects until 10.30 and t hen take a short "smoko". After this, the official teacher takes a back seat and people from the
community take over. For the next hour and a half, the children learn things not covered in any teacher-training course, but which may well prove more useful to them than any conventional school subject. An unusual school? It certainly is. And in more ways than one. Yiyili is an Aboriginal community situated near
Louisa Downs Station, about 600 kms from Broome in the heart of. W estern Australia's Kimberley region. The community was founded by a group of Aborigines belonging to the Gunion people, who had previously been living on nearby stations.
