WASHINGTON: In their highly publicised statement the United States bishops have soundly rejected any form of nuclear war or the arms race and repeated their call for a "halt" rather than a "curb" on new weapons systems.

The final third draft of their 150 page pastoral letter condemns war on populations and doubts whether a nuclear exchange of fire can be kept within limits of moral acceptability. Coming close to issues prominent in Europe these days, the pastoral letter urges NATO to move out of a possible -first -use policy. It also calls for non-violent solutions to conflict and a comprehensive positive effort to promote peace. The first reaction of the Reagan administration came when Secretary of Defence, Caspar Weinberger, said US nuclear deterrence police "is consistent with many principles of Catholic teaching" in the pastoral. He quoted several of the moral judgements contained in the pastoral and said US policy agreed with most of those principles.
Gosnells broadside
Even though the Town Planning Appeal Tribunal has provisionally upheld a Catholic Church appeal against Gosnells City Council for a parish school site, the council has re-affirmed its opposition and says it will defer development permission. A city councillor who has led the opposition to the original Catholic application to use a site on Ovens Road has also kept up his opposition. Councillor Geoff Collins, member for the Canning Vale ward till retiring last
Saturday, said the council had a clear conscience over its opposition to the proposal. "The blood of any children who are hurt in Ovens Road will not be on the hands of this council which has remained steadfastly opposed to this complex being built," he said. He predicted traffic volumes in Ovens Road would increase by 100 per cent if the school was approved even though sworn evidence by traffic consultants at the Tribunal hearing proved traffic
would be only 11 per cent above residential use even if the Catholic property was allowed to use Ovens Road access.
The Tribunal upheld the Catholic appeal conditional upon creating a new road that is currently being explored with an adjacent owner. In a further move the council claims it will not permit the new development until Ovens Road is extended through to other housing developments that have not yet been scheduled for opening.
Critical But he also criticised t he pastoral arguments on first use of nuclear weapons in Europe and on development of new weapons capable of a "hard target kill." •Continued page 2.

Thirty-seven new catechists received their certificates during Mass c elebrated by Bishop Healy at St Joseph's c hurch. Subiaco last week. The catechists had completed an eight-week training programme and represented candidates from 20 parishes. During the Mass 15 parish priests were present and they were handed the certificates for their parishioners to whom they then presented them.

A rchbishop Goody praised the Australian Schools Commission for the fact that at Lockridge the Commonwealth grant for the first stage had been the highest ever 83% given.

Knights protest to 'Daily'
The Knights of the Southern Cross have protested to The Daily News about remarks by Mr Bob Maumill about Archbishop Goody and they have written to the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal regarding programmes on 6PR. In a letter to the Tribunal signed by Mr N Dallimore, national officer, and Mr M Bowen state chairman the Knights e xpress concern with the "crude and indeli-
cate manner adopted by Mr Maumill" during his talk back programmes. "We consider the very descriptive terminology used in the sex talk programmes to be degrading, distasteful with the definite tendency to corrupt the morals of certain age groups. "We recognise the changing standards occurring in this country are not in the best interests for a healthy society and while there could be a
need for help for people with sexual problems, the recent Bob Maumill programme only gives ridicule to the problems and c ould encourage a degrading of the moral and Christian standards by the image presented during the programme. "We would strongly support the nonrenewal of the Radio Broadcasting Licence to 6PR if the station is not prepared
to censor Mr Maumill on his language and method of presentation of any future programme of similar nature. In a letter to the Editor the Chief of W.A. N ewspapers the Knights said, "Unfortunately for Mr Maumill he does little for his personal image as a radio commentator by using gutter type language in the Press to vent his f eelings about a Church leader."
Cardinal Bernardin. head of the drafting committee, said that the meeting had indicated the large level of unity among the bishops. The opposition was voiced by such as Archbishop Hannan of New Orleans whose amendments were defeated when he tried to soften the pastoral's first-use and deterrence policies. "I didn't expect to be so alone," he said. "The bishops are blatantly disregarding the will of the Holy Father in making specific judgements on complex issues." The approved statement still remains a pastoral letter and does not bind the US 55 million Catholics, especially those in the armed services.
Safeguards are in danger I
WA Right to Life president, Mr Peter O'Meara, said this week that freezing embryos was a further step down the road of dehumanising not only the act of conceptin, but of allowing scientists to manipulate the very development of human life and place it on hold for up to 10 years. "We now know that in Australia 73 fertilised ova have been frozen, 31 have been thawed, and of this number one damaged embryo has achieved a pregnancy," he said. "This is an abuse of medical ethics in the MELBOURNE — Some sections of the in- extreme, and was condemned at the Nuremtrials.

$o-o sorry about that So the Hitler Diaries are no a fake and the magazine Stern says it's sorry. That is to say, it is $4 million sorry. The London Sunday Times is relieved that it is only $250,000, and not $400,000 sorry. Others are more or less sorry down the line. It's an ill wind that does not blow some good so the current affairs media aren't all that sorry at the hours of reportage they have carried about denials, counter-denials and counter-counterdenials. The type of sorrow depends on the point of view. Those who suffered most under Hitler are justifiably sorry that it was an attempt to whitewash the monster of 40 years ago. Others will be sorry that the tracks disappear into East Germany where the emergence of the diaries was good for gaining hard Western currency or for fueling the new disinformation game that feeds on making Western Europe feel guilty about everything that has happened since 1939 that is not in Russia's interest. The top heads at Stern will roll but men who can build up mass circulations of 1.8 million copies will shed only dry tears until they reestablish themselves in the industry. •

So what was the real crime (sin is out of place here)? That Stern had $4 million-plus reasons for bluffing and guaranteeing without evidence that t he diaries were genuine? That respectable historians were half bluffed until they saw how far t hey were out on a limb that could snap? That conniving underground forces were manipulating the West? That thousands of subsidiary publications hoped they would get a slice of the cake eventually? That the gullible public would cough up the cents that do some people a lot of good? It's not the sort of moral question that fits into the nice old sin categories that were easy to identify, moral and venial. Which is what one-time-journalist-turnedBenedictine-monk Dom Francis Byrne tries to say in his essay this week. He suggested his ess,i . might he highlighted by some of the questionable material that he scrutinises. Some think the appropriate answer is to froth. dreaming of some Marxist state where they have ways of stopping people see material like that. Others yawn that the material is hardly pornographic in today's free-for-all that laughs at women wrestling in jam. A fter all, the publications cited appear in an respectable newsagency: the illustrations appear in the respectable daily and weekend papers that grace respectable, including Catholic, homes How does one define the sin, not of pornography and eroticism, but of manipulating and being manipulated? •••••••••• The manipulator is easy to identify. He spots where people spend money, moves in with his advertisisng revenue to make it a better publication so that people will buy more copies. . . . ad infinitum. The same process takes place in radio where ratbaggery (plus a few old fashioned insults to Catholics) can be peddled in the name of higher ratings to which more advertisers will put more funds so that more listeners etc The religious press (not just Catholic) which pays the going rate for ink, paper and production can take a detached view of this process since the major advertisers have said they would never be seen dead in our pages. Circulation is the religious paper's only hope but in Catholic circles the majority of the one quarter of Catholics who attend Sunday Mass don't read any religious print let alone The Record. The gospel does not say that it is necessary to do so. "Bless me. Father, for I have sinned. I was manipulated. I paid for a paper to read the news, the sport and the advertisements, which proved to the advertiser and the publisher that he should spend more money so I should buy more papers etc. And I don't know why I am sorry

Egyptians elect pope
sion of late President Anwar Sadat to depose Pope Shenouda III, Patriarch of the world's Coptic Orthodox Christians.
But the court ruled invalid the portion of Sadat's decree which had established a five-bishop committee to govern the Coptic Church. That committee, which many Copts considered invalid and contrary to Coptic Church law, was a source of major controversy. The court's affirmation of Sadat's annulment of a 1 971 Government decree giving official state recognition to the election of Pope Shenouda as the 11 7th Patriarch of the Coptic Church would probably lead to a decision by Coptic leaders to elect a new Patriarch in the near future, said Church sources in Cairo. Pope Shenouda has been restricted to a monastery in a desert area between Cairo and Alexandria since September 1981 . Only in recent months has he been allowed by the G overnment to receive visitors. Since his banishment a commission of five Coptic bishops appointed by Sadat, but now ruled invalid, had been handling papal duties. Pope Shenouda's banishment followed a summer of turmoil in which Sadat ordered the arrest of more than 1,200 Moslem extremists and 300 Christians. Although the declared purpose of the round-up was to end sectarian disorders, various political opposition elements, including lawyers, journalists and politicians were detained. Since Sadat's assassination on October 6, 1981, his successor, Hosni Mubarak, has released most of t he people arrested on Sadat's orders. But he took no steps to change Pope Shenouda's status. The Coptic Orthodox Church traces its roots to the first century AD and St Mark. The Egyptian Government says Copts make up about six per cent of its 45 million people, but Coptic organisations abroad claim that Egyptian Copts make up 8 million, or nearly 20 per cent, of the population. The Government, they say, purposely understates the size of the group for political reasons. The Coptic Church broke with the Church of Rome in the fourth century over the question of Christ's human nature and has remained a separate Church ever since, although Pope Paul VI and Pope Shenouda jointly declared in 1975 their differences in the centuries-old dispute were theological rather than on fundamentals of faith.
Political "If it is a political speech, it's made on the political level. . .if economic on the economic level, but you can't mix it with religious motives," the cardinal said. In December 1981 during a visit of Sicily's bishops to Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Pappalardo said Sicilians were concerned about "the planned installation of sophisticated weapons of war on our soil, which would certainly widen our p eople's exposure to danger and perhaps could also harm our people's moral health." Late last year, two Italian b ishops representing influential Catholic organisations criticised the planned deployment of NATO missiles at Comiso.
InPIACENZA, Italy (NC) — Pope John top aide has reaffirmed the Paul Vatican stand on disarmament, saying "deterrence based on equilibrium — certainly not as an end in itself but as a stage on the way to progressive disarmament — can still be morally acceptable." Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, papal secretary of state addressing an international conference in Piacenza quoted f rom a 1982 speech he delivered on behalf of Pope John Paul to the U.N. S econd Special Session on Disarmament. In the Piacenza talk, Cardinal Casaroli described the arms race as "one of the most insupportable burdens for the world economy" and "one of the most serious and constant threats to the peace it is intended to safeguard." "Certainly the Church does not close its eyes to the reality of the situation," he added. -Just recently. . . Pope JohnPaul II r ecognised 'deterrence based on equilibrium — certainly not as an end in itself but as a stage on the way to progressive disarmament — can still be judged to be morally acceptable.' —However: the message continues, 'to insure peace it is indispensable not
Death law challenge WASHINGTON (NC) — Citing medical, moral and legal disagreements over the value of such legislation, the bishops' committee for Pro-Life Activities reaffirmed its opposition to "definition of death" laws. The committee, chaired b y Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York, said "a compelling need for such legislation has still not been demonstrated." More than half the states have enacted some f orm of legislation equating death with "brain death," and in other s tates courts have approved the legal concept of brain death. But e xisting statutes and c ourt rulings differ among themselves. Definition of death legislation has become an issue the United States largely in response to the development of lifesupport technology. Traditional criteria of death — the cessation of breathing and heartbeat — have increasingly been abandoned in favor of — "brain death." The situation is complicated by medical and other experts who do not agree among themselves on criteria for identifying brain death. There are fears that some doctors may want to use "brain death" as a medical and legal fiction t o obtain transplant organs from comatose but still-living patients. There is also evidence pro-euthanasia groups have attempted to use the definition of death movement as a way to legalise euthanasia.
Women's role in ministry COVINGTON (Kentucky): The time has come for the Church to recognise women's role in ministry, Bishop Hughes of Covington said in an address recently. "While the question of admission of women to priesthood demands further historical and theological research, their induction into all other ministries has the backing of theology and of tradition," he said. Bishop Hughes said that as society was making an increasing effort to recognise the equality of women, so there was a "growing awareness" that the Church needs to address the question. "Women are full members of the Church," he said. "Discrimination against them exclusively on the basis of the sex will deny to the Church the particular gifts and charisnis of women. "The presence of women in a variety of ministries will also lead to new dimensions of team ministry and to a progressive change in the self-image of the priest," he said.
Briefs: to be content with a minimum which is a lways fraught with a real danger of explosion, — Cardinal Casaroli said. He said it was a widely shared belief "the goodwill of men manages to affect the course of events only marginally. "In any case, the true protection of states' rights consists in the possession of a force sufficient to defend them and to discourage others from seeking to violate them. He said he hoped the 20th anniversary of Pope John XXIII's 1963 encyclical, Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth), would serve to "lead humanity to reflect on whether the most realistic response to the questions that this problem insistently proposes must not be sought at the level of 'moralisation' — meaning 'rationalisation' — of social life."

ULSA, Okla. (NC) — The Catholic ishops of Oklahoma have called for the elimination of the death penalty in the state. The bishops released their statement a week before the scheduled execution of an Oklahoma death row prisoner by lethal injection. The execution of Thomas Lee "Sonny" Hays has since been postponed. The statement questions the deterrent value of capital punishment and cites racism as a complicating factor The bishops conclude, "The elimination of the death penalty in the state of Oklahoma would best follow the teaching of the Gospel. "This would show respect for the sacredness of human life and reduce the level of violence in society. "It would allow for the conversion of k milele mrbsersa.nd help surviving family -Finally, the elimination of the death penalty would avoid the irreversible consequences of errors that sometimes occur in the judicial process,- they said.
Setback to talks ROME (NC) — The stalled talks over revisions of the 1929 concordat between Italy and the Holy See, which regulates church-state relations in Italy, received another setback with the death of Jesuit Father Salvatore Lener, the major legal e xpert on the Vatican's negotiating team, on April 15. Father I.ener, 76, died of a cerebral haemorrhage at
a Rome clinic. He had been a member of t he Vatican negotiating t eam since discussions on r evision of the concordat. w hich is part of the Italian constitution, began in 1969. V atican sources said most
of the negotiations over legal points in the concordat revisions had been handled by Father I.ener, w ho had worked as an attorney and assistant professor of law before joining the Jesuits in 1938. In February, a front-page editorial in L'Osservatore Romano. the Vatican daily newspaper, had expressed the "full willingness- of the V atican negotiating team t o continue the talks with the Italian government a fter a four-year pause.
Jesuits in India seek funds to maintain
ateChIStS Father Tony Ryan, S.J., Bursar for the Daltonganj Diocese in South Bihar, India, has appealed for funds to train and maintain Catechists. This Diocese is situated in one of the poorest areas of India. Very few parishioners can afford to give even one cent to the Offertory collection. Most of the Diocese's 20 parishes occupy areas exceeding 40 x 40 miles. Each parish has about 18 Mass centres where Mass can only be said every 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Keeping the Faith alive under such circumstances is most difficult. Without the continued help of the Catechists, who conduct 'prayer services', give instruction, and help people prepare for the Sacraments, parish work would be seriously jeopardised. Many Catechists run schools, conduct meetings and attend to the many jobs which must be done in a new mission. But Catechists, too, have to live, and they cost the Diocese about S1.50 per day, or $45 a month, and we have over 50 of them. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Masked soldiers make arrest —
Riverton's Marian procession to conclude the two week mission included a special outdoor shrine for the image of Our Lady Queen of Apostles near which stand Bishop Healy, clergy and acolytes.
Pageant climaxes Riverton mission
The fifth mission in Riverton parish history was the best ever and drew attendances better than Christmas or Easter according to parish priest Father John Luemmen.
Father Humphrey O'Leary hard at work preaching during the closing ceremony.
Redemptorist Fathers John Tobin and Humphrey O'Leary conducted a two-week preaching mission, preceded by a visit to every one of the 800 Catholic homes in the parish. The parish was deeply moved by the sudden death of Father Gerry Grogan who had just returned to the presbytery after taking part in the visitation of homes. More than 500 people took part in 30 home gatherings of up to 16 people who were allowed to raise whatever topics they wanted to discuss. In the two weeks of preaching the morning sessions dealt with the Church and Change, the Bible. Conscience, the Commandments, Baptism, Divorce and Remarriage, and Vocation. Each of the evening sessions of just 65 minutes had a mime drama to illustrate themes. The closing session of the mission consisted of Mass followed by a procession through candle-lit grounds with the image of Our Lady Queen of Apostles. Children of Years 5, 6 and 7 of Queen of Apostles school took part in a crowning ceremony and later performed a liturgical dance to accompany the procession of people.
Father Brian Gore said he feared for h is l ife in an ambush when he was confronted by t roops wearing b alaclava masks last week at the time of his arrest. He met two jeeploads of armed soldiers on the road after he had been ordered by an army officer to proceed to Kabankalan for a conference. I nstead he was arrested and put in gaol. Father Gore said in a radio interview that the soldiers may have been wearing their masks because of the dust but he felt it was a tense moment. The incident started when an army gunship
helicopter swept into a hills village where a festival was being held. The armed military ordered Father Gore to accompany them in the helicopter but he refused and said that he would make his own way down from the hill country.

Father Gore's current ordeal began last year when he returned to his Philippine mission after six months' leave in his home state of W A. H e del iberately chose to return k nowing that trouble was brewing for him because of his work in forming basic Christian communities amongst the sugar workers on the island of Negros. Late in September, Lieutenant Gallo and troops raided Father Gore's house at night c laiming they did not know it was the presbytery and that they w ere chasing suspects with firearms. They tried ruses to enter such as asking for water and help for a sick man. They hid t heir faces and departed after not being successful. Next day they produced hand grenades on a filing cabinet, five bulletes and seditious literature they claimed to have found. A magistrate later scoffed at the "sedition" of the literature c alling for justice saying that this was the obligation of every citizen.

representation until the Monday. The arrest of Father Gore sparked immediate reactions in the local church and to the top level of President Marcos himself. Bishop Fortich said if Father Gore was not r eleased, all Sunday Masses in the diocese would be cancelled and Mass would be celebrated at a rally outside the gaol. Bishop Fortich communicated with Cardinal Sin and a request for Father Gore's release went right through to the military commander -in chief and on to President Marcos who called for Father Gore's release The priests at first refused to be released. "When we got the news we told the military we didn't want to go out, we did not want to be separated from the six lay workers who were there in gaol with us, Father Gore said. -Their safety is what worries us. "It's all very well for the military to guarantee their safety, but none of t heir guarantees has ever been kept. -

Catechism revision
S ANTIAGO, Chile (NC) — The Catholic Church in Chile said it will revise a catechism — criticised by the Chilean government — that denounces torture and says the nation's concept of national security is a "form of totalitarianism." The book, published two months ago with Church approval drew the ire o f Education Minister Monica Madariaga, who threatened to cancel a proposed decree requiring Catholic religion classes in public schools and accused Church officials of "betraying the Fatherland." The bishops rejected those charges but conceded that "some paragraphs of the textbook, taken out of context, could be misinterpreted. Titled "Come and See: Called with Christ to Serve the World," the textbook calls Chile's concept of national security "another form of totalitarianism" and says "it is sad t hat torture persists in our country." Although it points out the Chilean bishops have condemned Marxism, the catechism also finds "some Christian values" in socialism -- which was the dominant ideology of the Marxist -led government overthrown by the military in 1973. Chilean President Augusto Pinochet, an Army general, told mayors they should take more control over school textbooks, "because the enemy is trying to create the worst image in the minds of the young, p icturing us as torturers, repressers."

The Spirit moves among sick
L
. How does the Spirit move amongpeople who are sick? The s tories Dolores Leckey tells in her article this week cast light on this question. Katharine Bird interviews a pastoralminister who works in California with the chronically ill or dying. Sister Raphael McGrath discusses the needs she encounters among the sick. Christine Allen tells the story of Brother Andre Bessette. Many people are unaware that this religious brother, recently beatified by the Church, had a ministry to the sick during his life. Finally this week, Father John Castelot's scripture series gives an account of the end of the Bablyonian exile for the Israelites. The writer explains why part of the book of Isaiah is called Second Isaiah.
Compiled by NC NEWS SERVICE
Brother Andre Bessette's extraordinary ministry to the sick may well have grown out of his own experiences with sickness. All his life he wrestled with bouts of poor health.

Because of his weak health, the congregation's superiors had doubts about allowing the young man to join the order. It is ironic that he lived to the age of 91! Largely uneducated, Brother Bessette was assigned the task of porter at the order's home, opening the door to guests. At about the age of 30 he began to visit the sick on a regular basis.

Moora's church of St John the Baptist has stood for 75 years but the real Catholic history is written in the lives of the pioneer families like Lindsay Tierney now 77 and able to look back on a life that linked faith and farming. Like many Western Australians the key to his story is the Kalgoorlie gold rush that brought many eastern states farmers rushing westwards. Accompanying Tierney senior were four m en including the father of WA born Cardinal Knox and Mr Peter Knox. The Tierneys gave up gold to get back on the land at Bindi Bindi where the Joyce family had become the pioneer Catholics in 1874. Their first home there was made of mud bats, adzed white gum doors and windows, gimlet wood rafters, battens of thin salmon gum thatched with swamp rushes. The Joyce home was called Bindy Bindy after the headdress worn by Aboriginal women at Corroboree. Lindsay Tierney, like all the children of those days, learnt their religion at the feet of their parents, especially the devout mothers. "Naturally you followed their example" he says as a matter of f act. The frugal times of the pioneers was also having an impact on their spiritual outlook. "When you had to get things the hard way people depended more on their faith and on things other than themselves," he says. He laughs when asked about giving up things f or Lent. "We did without so many things that the opportunity to eat fish was something of a treat for us." He remarks that religion was a feature of many pioneer families o f all denominations who built churches far more substantial than their own dwellings. Lindsay Tierney, like all his generation, knew Mass as a once a month event. The priest came 25 miles from New Norcia on Saturday night to say Mass in the Joyce home on Sunday morning. Boys were boys, and while they were not so k een to attend to The Benedictine priest's horse and sulky, it vvas a different story when he eventually arrived in a buggy and they went spinning off down to the well in luxury. Mass at the J oyce home had other dividends. Stella Joyce became his bride 47 years ago and like many country people of the time they felt it was an e vent worthy of a cathedral. Parish priest Father Isidore came to Perth especially for the Nuptial Mass. The small group of Catholic families got to love their visiting Benedictine pastors who travelled long distances on many errands. Lindsay remembers the arrival of the group o f young Spaniards which included Father Isidore. "They must have wondered what they had struck when they saw all the bush and the flies." Father Isidore built up a reputation throughout the district; if his horse and buggy travels were f amous his travelling became more famous when he got a car: "Father Isidore's car w ent wherever he looked" Lindsay Tierney says with a twinkle. Nevertheless the Sunday Mass became an institution in the lives of those families: "At Mass each Sunday we were a funny crowd; we were like fowls on the
The church of St John the Baptist, Moora celebrates its 75th anniversary this Sunday. The event co-incides with the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the Sisters at St Joseph and the 25th anniversary of the church at Bindi Bindi. Father Timothy Dooley was the first priest to visit the area i n 1878 followed by Fathers Verling, Crowley, Hallinan and Clune (later archbishop).
His life is history in the making
After the New Norcia Abbey took charge of the area, Father McCormick OSB became first parish priest followed by Father Alcalde OSB, Father Scanlan OSB who constructed the church, Father Planas OSB, Father John Carroll (first resident priest), Father William OSB (1918), Father Benedict OSB (1921), Father Isidore OBS (1932), Father Hynes (1936), Monsignor Cameron (1952), Father O'Brien (1972), Father Ahern (1975), Father Callaghan (1979), Father Gatt (1982). Mass at Bindi Bindi started in 1 901 in the Sheridan home at Walebing and later in the Joyce a nd Dix homes and the Indarrie school. Three Sisters of St Joseph arrived in 1913, two teaching school in the church and one teaching music in the convent. Later the school expanded to secondary level.
By Father Pat Cunningham roost — we all got to the same spot. After Mass you knew everybody, how his stock and crops were going, what were the hopes for rain." The other strong bond with the Catholic faith was St Ildephonsus' (now Salvado) College where Lindsay Tierney went for his secondary schooling as did his two sons after him. Like all young men of that era, sport became the other strong community bond to people like Lindsay who modestly mentions he is a life member of Central M idlands Football League, the MilingBindi Football Team, the Bindi cricket team, and who was a member of the shire council for 10 years. He laughs at the idea of going to today's health studio to get fit when he looks back on loading wheat by hand a nd clearing timber with an axe, or the women scrubbing pine t ables and wooden
floors that waited many years for the first piece of linoleum. "I used to say all you needed was a strong body and a weak head to start developing a f arm." It was a hard life but it had its compensations: "We were up early and to bed late, going all day, but there was no mental strain. Now we have tractors and cars but we don't have time to do things."

Evelyn Lenane may not have been born in the bush but she has spent most of her l ife there and is a country girl in heart and soul.
Born in Melbourne in 1912, she had spent most of her school years on the lush, tropical island of Ceylon where her father worked as a ship's pilot. The family spent nine years in Ceylon, then two years in England before embarking at Fremantle on their way to take up a tract of land at Bindi Bindi.

Arthur Crane had left Liverpool in 1889 on a sailing ship. He started out as a cabin boy and before he was finished would become harbourmaster at Geraldton with four sons settled on the land.
The move to the land was seen as a safeguard for the future of his sons and so it proved to be. For Evelyn, the eldest of seven Crane children, moving into virgin bush in 1926 was an exciting if testing adventure. The family set off with a tent and built a bough house until something m ore substantial could be constructed. "We cooked on an open fire until the stove arrived," said Evelyn. "It was hard but it was terrific. It was great to go out into the bush and see the mobs of kangaroos and emus." What began as 800 acres of virgin bush has grown to nearly 5,000 acres carrying sheep and wheat. Arthur Crane retired to his property at Bindi Bindi where he died in 1968 at the age of 87 and Evelyn's mother spent the last few years of her life with her daughter. She died three years ago at the age of 92. For young Evelyn it was always to be a life on the land . . . living through the Depression and World War II. At the age of 19 she married the 'boy next door,' Michael Lenane, who came from one of the area's pioneering families.
His father had come from County Clare in Ireland in 1856 to take up 40 acres at Bindi Bindi. In those days the name was spelt Bindy Bindy, but when the railway came through in 1925 the spelling was changed. The Lenanes built their own house and called it Clovelly. It began as two rooms with a verandah but grew to 12 rooms over the years. The country is the only place to bring up children, says Evelyn Lenane. Even during the hard years, it was. she says, a very satisfying way to live. "We had to do everything for ourselves," she said. "Throughout the Depression and through until the end of the war we had to be virtually self-supporting." In the worst times sugar, butter and tea were rationed, petrol was short and it was back to the horse and sulky. "We even made our own coffee out of wheat. We used to wash the grains, cover with sugar and then bake it. It was much nicer than the substitutes you buy today," she said. For the Lenanes it was horse-drawn transport until they bought their first car in 1934. Life, was certainly busy then but it was calmer too, says Evelyn.
M!,,oc#44 Clothes were washed in a tub and copper, food was cooked in a wood stove . . . bread was baked, cows milked, vegetables grown and mountains of mending worked through. "We just didn't have time to worry," she said. Many things were self-taught. Bread-making for instance. "Mum and I taught ourselves to make bread when we first went on the land," she said. "We also made our own yeast from hops, flour and potatoes." "Bread was baked twice a week and kept in kerosene tins. We also made our own buns and fruit loaves.

great treks Bindi Bindi tion in that kind of work."
Never idle, Evelyn taught herself cake decorating and flower arranging. She was also a keen dressmaker, sewing for neighbours as well as her own family. The day would start at Sam and there would be plenty to do until bedtime at 8pm. "We did used to have a rest in the afternoon though," she grinned.
OTN.d Despite the heavy workload there was still plenty of time for fun. The Lenanes started a tennis club in 1934 and Evelyn spent many years playing golf and badminton. In 1933 a branch of the Country's W omen's Association was formed and Evelyn is now president of the Bindi Bindi branch. The group celebrates its 50th anniversary on August 19. For the spare moments there was always gardening. A lover of trees Evelyn planted more than she can count in and around Bindi Bindi. She was also quick to see the beauty of the wildflower, transplanting them from the bush into her own front garden. Now that she and her husband have retired to Moora she often looks back fondly to the days on the farm. The cold and frosty mornings, the occasional dust storm — one so powerful it flung the gravel around and blew her small son to the ground. That was in 1936 and it took a couple of days to clear the house of dust. But the hest part about it all, she says, is the free and open life. "Yes you are busy at times but you can take a day off from time to time if you want to," she said. And the quality of life was hard to beat too. The home-made jams and preserves, home pickled mutton and c orned beef, home smoked bacon. . . the latter she misses most of all. Sadly, she says, much of the food we
buy these days has no taste. The highlight of her life would have to be her conversion in 1937. Brought up an Anglican, she had done much of her schooling in Catholic convents in Ceylon. "There was something about it all that appealed to me," she said. "I had a very inquisitive mind and had read a lot. "I wanted to go ahead with it and so I went to Moora and was received into the Church. My most treasured possession is my faith." Her faith has certainly been put to the test with the tragic death of her daughter, at the age of 23, just a few weeks after giving birth to her first child. Even more tragically, the little girl, Pauline was to die 22 months after her mother following a severe scalding with boiling water. Her faith was tested even more, just months after her daughter's death when her eldest son was badly injured in an accident on the farm. If anything, it all served to strengthen her faith and make it even more dear to her. But even family tragedy cannot stop someone like Evelyn Lenane -endowed as she is with a huge capacity for hard work.
A member of the committee to build a Catholic church at Bindi Bindi, she was in there with the rest of them when Our Lady of Lourdes opened on November 30, 1958. . . barely six months after her daughter had died. In the years to come Evelyn Lenane would be tireless in her work, arranging the flowers and cleaning the church in preparation for fortnightly mass. The small church was just two miles or so from her home and every other fortnight the family would travel to Miling for mass, 1 1 miles away. She and her husband now attend St John the Baptist church, Moora,
which celebrates its - 5th anniversary this weekend. Evelyn does the flowers for the alter and is also on the committee organising the anniversary celebrations. In between tending the three dozen rose bushes which provide beautiful blooms for the church, she is a secretary of the Senior Citizen's Club in Moora, involved with the historical society in Berkshire Valley which maintains the museum there and is also a member of the Western Australian Historical Society. Always interested in geography and history, she and her husband worked long and hard for the centenary of Bindi Bindi which was held in 1975. The three-day celebration involved floats, unveiling of a plaque and dinner for 300 following Sunday church service. With 13 grand-children and 5 greatgrandchildren and her many interests, Evelyn Lenane's life is as busy as it has ever been .. . and that's exactly the way she likes it. ,

Tom is an enthusiastic and excited young man. He has f ound a new friend. I asked Tom if he had told his newfound friend that he loved her. He squinted and said: "I find it really hard to tell someone that I love them. When I have said 'I love you' in the past I found I was reacting from emotion and not real love". "But", he said "I'm sure that she can just sense that I care about her". "We've shared a lot and I really like her", he continued. T his l ittle encounter in the middle of my day made me think. It made me ask what is real love for young people living in the world today?" What was Tom s aying when he doubted the response he had previously made, based on his emotions. What is the "more" to love than just feelings; feel ings of w armth, comfort, p leasure and excitement. Questions about love are: To love and be loved as one of the basic needs of people is agreed on by all p sychologists. Poets and song writers have made love their theme from
the beginning of time. Today the advertising world exploits these basic needs of people for its own lucrative ends and m i l l ions gul l ibly accept the message. The boy meets girl, they fall in love and live happily ever after, the eternal triangle, jealous lovers are still basic threads of stories told by literature, theatre and films. Just because noone has found a definitive answer to t hese questions, does not seem to deter people from talking about it and s ti l l groping for answers. I'd like to know what you think.

Questilla pounced on the leaders and looked very impressive in beating smart galloper Turkish Prince. Questilla has showed he can stay and will improve much more as the distances of his races increase. TR ISTA MS GOLD looks extremely hard to beat in next week's St Leger after his fighting second to his s tablemate Almaretta in the Australian-American Cup. Tristams Gold shaped as a dour stayer when running on out wide on the track and he will be even more suited by the 2800m of the St Leger and the return to his own age group. SPECIAL PHILOU showed he is not far from his first WA win when he finished fourth (5tt1en) to star galloper Art Roy. Special Philou will be extremely hard to beat when he meets slightly weaker opposition, especially if the track has some of the sting taken out of it. GAII.LIMH looks as though he has plenty of ability judging on his easy first up win at Belmont on Thursday 5 5. Gaillimh released a powerful burst to win running away and will pay to follow in stronger fields as he encounters them.

This action on the part of his wife was immediately denounced in some quarters as the "Greatest literary crime of the century." Writer and commentator Malcolm Muggeridge has, in the past decade, been one of the fiercest critics of pornography which he once labelled "illiterate filth." In an article in the National Decency News (May 1970), Muggeridge fired another salvo. He attacked "the motley procession of writers, critics, crazed clerics and other miscellaneous intelligentsia prepared at the drop of a hat to pronounce the latest outpouring of sub-standard smut an essential contribution to contemporary letters." Pornography covers not only the field of books, but also movies, magazines, postcards, etc.
