His appeal came one day after he had presided at a funeral Mass foi police general Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, Italy's top anti-mafia specialist and Dalla Chiesa's wife of two months, Emmanuela. Dalla Chiesa and his wife were gunned down by unknown assailants as they drove their car through the centre of Palermo on the night of September 3. Investigators said they believed the murderers were members of the mafia. Pope John Paul II sent condolences to the families of the Dalla Chiesas, telling of his "sharp grief" and saying he "deeply deplored" the crimes. The pontiff added that the sad events had "bloodied the city" and that "organised criminal violence tries to upset the serene life of a citizenry yearning after peace and justice." Dalla Chiesa had asked for wider ranging powers in leading the government's anti-mafia campaign. His death has caused parliament to seriously consider a wide-ranging bill which would widen the powers of police and judges in investigating mafia associates and sources of wealth. Last December, speaking to the Sicilian bishops, the pope had sounded a strong warning against "the socalled mafia mentality and structure" and said that the executors of mafia violence were "protected by a code of silence, which is unfortunately widespread because of the few of ieprisals and of vendettas." At the funeral Mass for the Dalla Chiesas, Cardinal Pappalardo called organised crime "the incarnation of satan" and said that it was "taking on the state, humiliating it and killing its best men." Palermo is the hub of an international drug ring and an intra-mafia war for control of the lucrative operation has resulted this year in more than 100 gangland slayings in Palermo. In his funeral homily, which was interrupted several times by applause, Cardinal Pappalardo criticised "the slow and uncertain actions and decisions of government servants and authorities of the state, who should provide for the secui ity of simple citizens." Cardinal Pappalardo, speaking of the mission of the priest, said: "in today's society you cannot remain closed up within the walls of this church." "You have to go out to be among the people . . . to cooperate with all civil authorities. "The times in which we are called to work are sad times," said Cardinal Pappalardo, referring to the murders, "but we ought not to let ourselves become discouraged, to yield to the forces of evil, because we cannot share the language of violence, of vendettas and of hatred." "The slower and more uncertain are the actions of the state, the more opportune, decisive and violent are the actions of those who have the mind, the will and the might to strike," he said.
The principal guest at last Sunday's Mass to mark Newman Sunday was Lady Trowbridge, wife of the governor, Sir Richard Trowbridge, who later joined the gathering at lunch. Lady Trowbridge is pictured being welcomed outside St Thomas More Chapel by Mrs Ann Cullity, president of the Newman Society. A big gathering of graduates wore academic gowns and caps for the Mass celebrated by Archbishop Goody.

Healing talks C entrecare Bunbury Christian Family and Ethnic Services is sponsoring a conference on Inner Healing on September 17-19. The conference will focus on the healing of the whole person and of families through self acceptance and the realisation of our full potential as persons and as Christians. Topics to be dealt with during the workshop include the healing power of forgiveness, trust, repentance, gratitude and love. The workshop will combine the best of professional expertise, with strong Christian values, that are not just voiced but integrated into their professional life in a tangible and powerful way. The conference is open to all Christians and will be particularly helpful for people actively involved in the health and helping professions, ministers of religion, pastoral workers, prayer group leaders. 2 The Record, September 16 — 22, 1982

W ARSAW -- Danuta Walesa, wife of Solidarity leader, said her husband was opposed to fighting in the streets as a means of redressing grievances. "He does not believe in going into the streets to fight. He always took this stand," said Mrs Walesa, after visiting her husband at a remote government hunting lodge in southern Poland where he is being held. But she said Walesa was out of touch with the situation after eight months of inter nment, and she added: "The workers know that the law is not r espected and wot ket s should fight with the appr opiate methods." Mrs Walesa said her husband "knows he will be interned for a long time."

Please help us educate Indian children from perpetual poverty One of the most worrying problems facing Australian Jesuit Missionaries in South Bihar, India, is funding the educational needs of over 14,000 boys and girls from extremely poor familes who can't afford to pay school fees. These people are hardworking farmers who barely survive because of poor farming methods, water shortage, unemployment, primitive living conditions, and lack of medical care. They are severely handicapped by lack of education. Not only general education, but basic education in hygiene, nutrition and care of children. Their malnourished children have no body reserves, and when infection strikes, death frequently follows. Where education has been introduced living standards have improved remarkably. Education has a profound effect on families and communities. It gives them hope for the future, and shows them how to work for it. Could you help educate a child for a month, a term, or a year?

Gone is the traditional ten-gallon hat, wide belt, tight hipster pants, 34 -length riding boots and rule-of-thumb management, for Jim Price is a modernpastoralist andgrazier who flies his own plane and applied scientific agronomy to maximise returns from his 165,519 hectare Coodardy Station at Cue. But talk to him for a few minutes and under the smart business suit, fashionable shirt and tie, lies the rugged in character synonomous with those who have pioneered and developed the vast outback of Western Australia.
From horseback to flying for a Murchison grazier "Because our industry has been composed of individualists and until recently they have been very isolated, research was neglected. However, we are investing more and more in research but not yet enough," said Jim. "You get out of it proportionately to what you put into it," he added. This apparently is Jim's philosophy of life in every sphere in which he has been active. He is one of life's lifters and has little time for leaners. "Our socialistic society is breeding a lack of initiative and the will to give it a go. Australians should realise we have a great country and get down to work. "In the horse and cart days parents paid to have theil sons taught jackerooing. Today you can't get such labour for love nor money. "Grog has destroyed the Aboriginal work force," he observed. "We can't compete with wages being paid by mining and oil companies.
Stable future "Therefore, we have been forced to depend more and more on machinery with a minimum of labour to work our properties." However, Jim sees a stable future for the pastoral industry. "Wool will have its ups and downs depending to a great extent on the international monetary situation but there will always be a place for wool. "People will always need food and we have to feed the world's starving millions. "There will always be people willing to develop the outback. I'm there because I like it. There will always be those who are drawn to the rural way of life. Look at the upsurge today in hobby farms for example," added Jim. The biggest change in the industry which Jim has witnessed has been in the mustering of sheep. "Today 80% of pastoral mustering is done by plane," Jim said. "We communicate to the motor bikes on the ground by walkie-talkie and can now accomplish in three days what would have taken us three weeks' under the old methods." Jim, who has held a pilots' licence for 14 years does his own mustering by plane. This has brought a com-
plete change in the lifestyle of the station. No longer did they go out on horseback with a provision cart for weeks on end and camp in the bush. "With the mechanised muster we are back at the homestead every night. It's ironical that people now pay to go on an old-time roundup," laughed Jim. Jim is quick to defend pastoralists against some of the false impressions held about them. "We are not millionaires. Most city people only see us when we don our best suits to come down to Perth once or twice a year," he laughed. "Our usual day sees us up at 5 or 6am and working until sundown. Most pastoralists are dedicated to their properties and care of their livestock. "Droughts and floods have done more damange than past overstocking of properties," said Jim. "Coodardy has an average rainfall of 8 inches but has had as much as 22 2 / inches in a, inches and as little as 11 year." Jim said his area is known as "Elsewhere." "We are covered at the end of the weather forecasts — 'Elsewhere fine'." "We have just had five years of drought but good years come round in cycles. I can't see any change in the pattern." In the past a few pastoralists could have been justifiably criticised for overstocking but not so today according to Jim. "Why run more stock when you can get better returns per head with more scientific management of your flock?" asked Jim. "Drought kills a lot of stock but you don't get a drought in five minutes which gives the pastoralist time to sell or move stock to areas where there is feed. Sometimes they have to be moved long distances and this is e xpensive." He runs 10,000 sheep on Coodardy but has only 20 head of Poll Shorthorn cattle mainly as a hobby. Beef is not a stable mai ket at present but it will come again and he may then increase his herd. In the early years of the station the p osition was reversed and it ran only cattle. Coodardy Station was established in 1883 by Townsend and Roberts and in 1913 was bought by Sir Frank W ittenoom on behalf of Sii Langley

Lefroy. In that year Jim's father was appointed manager of the station and brought the first sheep from Boolaidy to Coodardy. He bought Coodardy as a family business in 1947. Jim was born in Cue, one of six children. He received his early education at St Ildephonsus College, New Norcia and St Patrick's College, Geraldton. Jim and his wife, Gwen, have four children, all of whom have attended Catholic schools and colleges in Perth. "Country children are more selfdependent and most develop earlier than city children but they need to go to school in the city to broaden their outlook. It also works in reverse, city children should be sent to country colleges to rub shoulders with farmers' children. Leslie the eldest son has two children, is an accountant and the family live in Perth. His second son, Michael, who was captain of Aquinas and an East
Board, subsequently the Cue Shire Council. "Paddy was 80 when he retired. In those days you weren't recognised until you were over 60," laughed Jim. He was deputy president of the council for about eight years and has been president since 1971. In that year he was appointed the Murchison ward member of the executive of the Country Shires' Councils Association and has been chairman since then. He has been the association's lepiesentative on the Agi icultuie Piotection Boai d, since 1971 and on the WA Exotic Diseases Committee (animals) since

Perth footballer, is married with two children and is stationed in Canberra with the Commonwealth Statistician's Department. Their only daughter, Catherine, is married. "She was a nurse and now has 1 3/4 childien," laughed Jim. Their third son, Peter, is single and is with Western Livestock at Carnarvon. Since 1947, Jim has been part owner of Coodardy Station and has, been managing partner of Coodardy Pastoral Co since 1951. He served in the RAAF during World War 1 1 as a fitter engineer serving with 549 Spitfire Squadron, 1 2 Squadron and No 1 Photographic Reconnaisance Unit which later became No 87 Squadron and was equipped with the famous Australian Mosquito aircraft. "Being the smallest of the fitters, I was often flown from Coomalie Creek in the Northern Territory where we were stationed to Broome crouching between the legs of the navigator," Jim reminisced. The aircraft operated out of Broome when doing photographic leconnaisance ovei Timoi . On one trip back one of the engines failed, "But you'd never have noticed it. Even with one engine out it flew as though it had three," Jim said. Being a lifter, Jim has been keenly interested and active in pastoral and community affairs. In 1954 he took over Paddy Morrissey's seat on the Cue Roads
1979. He holds and has held a number of other positions on various local government committees. In 1979 he was given the iichly deserved honour of Honorary Freeman of the Municipality of Cue. Jim has served as a member of the Cue District Committee of the Pastoralists and Graziers' Association of WA since 1951 and was chairman from 1980 to 1982 and 1962 to 1974. He held several other offices on the committee. He is a member of the executive of the association and has held a number of other positions on the association's committees. He was one of the fathers Of the Department of Agriculture Rangeland Management Regional Research Liaison Committee in the pastoral areas. These committees were formed in 1979 in several regions. They help put into practice what Jim has long preached. They work with the department to frame programmes of research and disseminate information to pastoralists on improved grazing and pasture management techniques. Another interest close to Jim's heart is horse racing. 'In the past we always rode and trained our own horses on Coodardy, but today all we have is a few pensioners," Jim said. "Riding, breeding and training have been my main interests — I was never a punter,"
As with his other interests Jim has given of his time to the community as a member of the Murchison Goldfields Racing Club since 1950. For 12 years he was chairman of the club and was chairman of the Murchison Racing Association from 1962 to 1970. He is still an honorary steward of the association, a position he has held since 1956. Again his services were acknowledged when in Octobei 1972, he was made of life member of all clubs in t he Murchison Racing Association ( Meekatharra, Cue, Mt Magnet and Yalgoo). Even though he does not shoot, ("I'm just a helper"), Jim has been a member of the Cue Rifle Club since 1954 and as with his other interests he is a lifter. He has been president since 1963 and was made a life member in 1965. "We have a magnificent annual t wo-day shoot. People come from as far away as Albany and Wyndham," said Jim. A keen golfer in his time he now admits, "My golfing days are over." Jim has been associated with many forms of commuity work in the district, including training schemes on Coodardy Station in earlier years for young Aboriginal boys and girls from the missions. It is no wonder that in 1981 Jim was awarded the M.B.E. in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for his contribution to civic, sporting and pastoral activities. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1954 and is also a member 1 of the Childrens Court.

Prince's host A
It is also understandable that he was selected as host to Prince Charles when he visited the state in 1979. The prince spent two informal days at Coodardy Station with the family. Jim is reticent to discuss the visi but added, "I was proud to be selected as the representative of the pastoralists and graziers." However, he is not reticent about what he terms "My greatest asset His wife, Gwen. (nee Houston) who was born of a farming family oh Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. "I could not accomplish what I do without such a good wife and the same could be said for the most men int he outback." Jim met Gwen when she was t matron of the Big Bell Hospital and 1 they were married at Coulta near Port Lincoln, South Australia, in 1951. It would appear that there are i lifters on Coodardy Station.
