EN YOUR HEARTS Catechists have to be prepared to open the hearts of adolescents resisting faith, in hearts hardened by experience, treated badly or even scandalised by those claiming to have faith, Archbishop Foley told a congregation in St Mary's Cathedral on Tuesday night.

—They may have parents who do not value God or His Church. You may be the only person they will hear speak of the things of God," the archbishop said, encouraging them to give generously their time, understanding. interest and even forgiveness. Several hundred catechists and friends from most of 68 named parishes were in the cathedral for a commissioning ceremony for new and former catechists. After the address. 43 concelebrating priests and 25 parish representatives approached Archbishop Foley to receive the certificates that will he distributed in parishes next Sunday to commission local catechists for the years 1984-86. The last such cathedral ceremony was held in 1982 when 600 catechists were commissioned.

Archbishop tells 470 catechists In the 1984 ceremony only 475 were commissioned, 70 of them being new catechists. The new catechists had attended a ten week training programme at the Religious Education Centre in Wembley spending an hour of developing faith and another hour on acquiring skills For the first time the training programme was conducted entirety hr laity with the help of one religious brother. Archbishop Foley told the catechists to have confidence in God and not try to MCASUre the success of their work' "He told the catechists they would have to ensure the understanding of their faith increased and urged them to attend future study courses and in-service days. He called on priests, parishioners and pastoral councillors to provide whatever spiritual and material assistance the catechists needed. "Provide opportunities for your catechists to meet and share their faith and experiences with one another and he with them on those occasions to encourage them," he told the priests.

Saints made outside Keating for of Rome Highgate

SEOUL — In the first such ceremony ever to take place outside Rome Pope John Paul canonised 103 Korean martyrs who died in persecutions during 1839, 1846 and 1866. Upwards of 600,000 Koreans are estimated to havr packed the vast square where the pope said Mass in the Korean language. The Korean martyres met their deaths less than 100 years after a group of bllowers of Oinfucius sent Lee Sung-Hoon to China to be baptised after they had become interested in the writings of Matteo Ricci the famous Jesuit missionary to China in the 16th century.

its own vocations. Bishop Hickey (49) noted there were only four priests younger than he working in Geraldion diocese which has a relatively small civilian population of 103.000 of whom a quarter are Catholics Yet geographically it is the largest diocese in the world • 825.000 sq km. Some priests have to travel up to 400 km every Sunday to provide Mass for their far flung congregations

Bishop Hickey said he was encouraged to find there are three men in the seminary preparing for the priesthood in Geraldton diocese hut these would he nowhere near enough for the future needs of the diocese where the average age of priests is over 60 years

,A 'graduate'

One of the first facts to confront Bishop Hickey will be the necessity to ensure a supply of priests to continue the work of the parishes of Geraldton diocese and also possibly the part that will be played in that process by St Charles Residence

"It is urgent that we rapidly increase the numbers of men training for the priesthood- he said.

The average Catholic is thirsting for the Good News according to Redemptorist missioner, Father Brian Jones. He was reflecting on the lenten parish missions conducted recently at Rockingham and Balcatta. "Hundreds of Catholics came twice a day to the mission in a 10 day period.

A thirsting for the good news

We obsiously need to do more to nurture them and help them hear that call of the Christ in His Church.

At Balcatta about 300 attended the morning sessions and over 500 packed the church each night. There were similar numbers at Rockingham," he said. "We tend to take it for granted because we sec this kind of response all the time. hut local residents are often astounded when they see so many cars rolling up at 6.30 each morning, and again each night." Asked why there was such a good response. Father Jones put it down to three things: "Firs.tty. each mission

is preceded by an intensive campaign of prayer. Secondly, when people stop to think about it, they realise they need the Lord's message in their lives. And thirdly, we try to visit every Catholic home in the parish and extend a personal invitation to the mission. "In Rockingham and Balcatta the mission team visited about 1300 homes in the two weeks prior to the preached mission.- he said. These recent missions have confirmed for Father Jones a statement of Pope John Paul's that -parish missions are an indispensihle means for the periodic and powerful renewal of the Christian

life, if they take into consideration the mentality of today." challenge for "The Redemptorists is to proclaim the message of Christ in such a way that it is experienced as Good News. • Cont page 12

"I firmly believe the call to t he priesthood is being heard by the men of today

"All of us — laity, priests, religious and bishop must work concertedly and prayerfully towards this end.- he said. Bishop Hickey's concern for vocations goes back a long way. His voice was often raised in anxiety about the future of priestly vocations in WA following the closure of the Guildford seminary in 19-5 owing to decreasing numbers of candidates. • Cora page 12

Pallottine missioners take vote

Rehecord

When six years ago Louise Brown made world headlines as the first baby to be born after in vitro conception she deserved to be welcomed and loved no less than any other human being. Despite the indecent scramble by those and some subsequent parents to make sure the media and eventually the public paid adequately for any further enlightenment on the matter the public were told to stand in awe of the technology that had produced Louise Brown and her companions. In the wave of sentiment that has surrounded this and subsequent births here in Australia the contrived blanket of silence quickly warns outsiders that they are entitled to as much information as it suits vested interests to release. T he latest arrivals -- the second set of quadruplets born from in vitro — deserve no less a welcome than any other baby but circumstances of their arrival confirm how the public has been cynically manipulated not only to accept the reality of in vitro processes but the reckless conceit of both doctors and parents now involved in such processes. A s happens easily these days, the first radio news on Sunday of the event revealed carefully not too much beyond the condition of the caesarian babies and their mother soothing, human information. E ventually many tangled threads appeared that t he children were the fourth to seventh offspring of a 31 year -old mother sterilised at 23 allegedly against her will, that the quads' father was her fourth partner ( some of the others reputedly married to her) and that the babies were the survivors of no less than six simultaneous embryo implantations.

Ordinary people it seems are expected not to be stunned by a scenario like this since locally the stories in The West Australian and The Australian were buried sufficiently deeply to indicate that no real person ought to be alarmed. The dogs indeed were barking elsewhere yelps no less than from the British Medical Association - but not at the preposterous perversion of human values epitomised in this latest incident but because London's Hammersmith Hospital staff and the quads' parents imposed a news blackout for the sake of a package deal with a Sunday newspaper O ther doctors and MP's railed against the births as a flagrant waste of national health money but the final i ncredible outcry came from Patrick Steptoe, Louise Brown's scientific patron, claiming that the circumstances of the quads' birth bordered on the unethical . In such a jungle of contradictory and conflicting criticisms and opinions it seems hardly worth the effort to apply some moral standards to what is rampant a -morality, even to plead plain human common sense to medical technologists and willing patients who sanctimoniously bleat that they want governments to give them ethical guidelines in such matters. A number of Catholic opinions and a few lonely voices from other churchmen have tried to ask whether in vitro questions go deeper than merely the gadgetry of achieving conception and the get pregnant -at -all-costs mania sweeping the same hospitals that can't abort their other patients fast enough. The Victorian Catholic bishops attempted to speak f or reason and humanity before that state government's enquiry but to little avail . Their point of view is virtually doomed to oblivion when newspapers noted the first frozen embryo implantation was born to a Catholic, thus giving the fingers-up treatment to any stuffy moralist who would frown at a mother clutching her newborn infant. A pparently births to Anglicans, sundry Protestants. Jews, Calathumpians or atheists attract no such similar acclaim. The difficulty in setting some standards on the rocking boat of the in vitro programme and wherever it is likely to lead in the future is establishing a firm footing on faith in human life without which one may as well be talking to an incubator in an intensive care unit. Only faith can cultivate credibility. Only a faith of some sort can protect even the most well intentioned parents if not from themselves at least the gullible acceptance of others wanting to prove their technological brilliance. For doctors or women (and their partners) to no longer care about six embryos battling for survival in a womb is beyond immorality. It stretches credibility. To pick over embryos in a dish to select the fittest and discard the rest is beyond all immorality. It stretches credibility if this is to be applied to the rest of living beings. To reduce the uniting of sex cells to the level of give-it-a-try (judging by the number of failures and change of heart by such failed parents) is beyond immorality. It stretches credibility in what two people want for each other. Sections of the medical industry and sections of a free-for-all humanity have locked themselves into a world that deserves no credibility, let alone moral judgement. The normals had best go back to the simple question why anyone is so important in this world, starting with themselves

SYDNEY: Half of the clients at the natural family planning clinic of St Vincent's Hospital are non-Catholics. Ten years ago when the service began it was felt the service would be considered Catholic and used only by Catholics for moral reasons, states the March newsletter.

The Pallottine congregation in Australia have voted to move their national headquarters from Melbourne to Western Australia. The new provincial superior Father Eddie Wehrrnaker who up till now has been working in WA, will join his other two provincial councillors Fathers Joe Kearney and Ray Hevern who also are currently stationed in WA at Rossmoyne and at Balgo Mission. Father Wehrmaker asked the opinion of the 41 Pallottines in Australia partly because the order is heavily committed to works in WA. However their opinion was sought also because the greater number of lay missionaries joining their work have this year come from WA.

The change began with people who were dissatisfied with the pill or RD, who did not wish to he sterilised or to return to barrier methods. "They first looked on lemming natural methods as a last resort. They saw NIP as "just Another cont racept We", that happened to have the unpleasant side effect of lX'floiIc abstinence. But today, people of all faiths, ages and nationalities have made NEP their first choice, seeing it as a good health measure that will continue through the whole of their fertile lives — from marriage, seeking or avoiding pregnancy, breast-feeding. weaning and the premenopause.''

Mission to West

CANBERRA — It is virtually impossible for parents to control what children may view on video equipment outside their own homes, according to the Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn, Archbishop Carroll. Archbishop Carroll said under new regulations for import and distribution of video recordings in the Australian Capital Terriroty — aimed at being the model of states' legislation — hard core pornography and gratuitous violence were freely available. He urged a return to the pre-existing laws, and that they be enforced He also urged consideration for devising an effective scheme for prohibiting or regulating the circulation of objectionable materials.

from a special correspondent Archbishop Carroll said all parents should familiarise themselves with guidelines used by the Film Censorship Board in its classification of video recordings. Most parents would be surprised at what was considered suitable for an "M" rating ... something suitable for persons 15 and over. Archbishop Carroll expressed concern about the flood of pornographic and other objectionable publications (including films and video cassettes). Motions for the disallowance of the amending reg-

ulations and of the ordinance were now before the Parliament. The Archbishop said under the law as recently amended • A person is free to import or to produce any film, video tape or video discs, notwithstanding that it deals with matters of sex. drugs. crime. cruelty, or revolting phenomena in a manner likely to cause offence to a reasonable adult person so long as it does not depiect child pornography. encourage terrorism or gratuitously depict extreme violence or cruelty. • A person is free to deal commercially with material of this character so long as it has been given some

The P-allottines first came to WA in 1901 at the imitation of Bishop Kelly of Geraldton and took up work with the Kimberley Aborigines. The first Australians were recruited to the order in 1937.

More than 100 extra copies of The Record were distributed- last week as a direct result of the lift -out feature The Catholic Education Commission plans to distribute the lift -out to hundreds of Catholic schools in WA The next Intercom will appear in The Record in June News and comments for Intercom can be sent to the editor, Lee West.

Mr Shanahan, principal of Seryite College seconded two years to the Catholic Education Commission was a member of the Beazley Committee for the last year, and helped compile the report.

Mr Shanahan broadly outlined the report, its necessity and implications at a meeting of the La Salle College P and F recently. He said people who understood the general thrust of the report would understand the 300 recommendations. The report was basically concerned with the all-round development of the student and did not deal merely with the academic side. However, Mr Shanahan stressed the pursuit of excellence was very important in whatever area the student was working. The important thing was schools be given the opportunity to better assist the development of the student. But it would be largely the responsibility of the school to use its initiative to upgrade the student's abilities. The opportunity was given for the student's strengths to be developed; this would be provided for in the new flexible curriculum. Within the seven component structure there was a wide versatility of educational possibilities available to students and teachers to enhance the ability of the child. The report envisaged parents assuming a larger role in the total education of their child. On pastoral care, Mr Shanahan said the report encouraged schools to provide pastoral care for students and to develop their dignity, personal awareness and interpersonal skills.

The Record, May 10 — 16, 1984

The report proposed measures to develop and extend individual students' strengths and skills were urged. The committee saw primary and secondary education as valuable ends in themselves. Preparation for the post -school demands of further study or employment should be thorough but should not dominate the curriculum.

Judging success The report argued success in secondary studies was not to be judged by a "set of marks gained in a narrow range of subjects examined at the end of Year 12" The growth of the whole person — physically, mentally and spiritually — and the development of students' talents should receive due emphasis during schooling. The Committee recognised the importance of parents and family in education and accordingly encouraged a more active parental and community involvement in schools.

The committee appreciated the high standard of dedication and performance exhibited by most teachers. It urged a continuing effort be made to encourage talented people to enter the teaching profession. At the same time, schools and teachers were reminded of the need for continuing professional development and self-examination. Mr Brian Buzzard, deputy principal of La Salle said: "La Salle is in tune with the projected curriculum as it is in line with the needs of the regional community, without disadvantaging their future education in tertiary or other institutions. "It is refreshing to have education valued for itself without the pressures of direct channelling into confined avenues of ultimate employment or tertiary studies. "Nevertheless, the pursuit of excellence will ensure suitability and preparedness for these worthwhile ends. "The emphasis", Mr Buzzard said, "on personal awareness and skills to cope with life situations blended with traditional religious education courses. "It will broaden an already successful pastoral care programme always operated within L.a Salle College and the Catholic Education System in Western Australia," Mr Buzzard said.

Report aims at students

from J.F. HARDING, Diane/la

Sir — George Purbrick, was surely in a facetious mood in his recent comments on my previous correspondence but rather than take umbrage at what could otherwise be treated as impertinence I shall treat them in such a fashion. However, Peter Armstrong writes from position of an idealist or perfectionist in a most imperfect and dangerous global scenario, which, as the Holy Father has recently pointed out, "can't go on like this for much longer''. The aggressive Soviet plans for complete global domination has never been more obvious as today as they throw a further 80,000 troops against the suffering people of Afghanistan in the Panishir Valley complete with armour, helicopter gunships and high level bombing of both conventional and biological nature in a desperate bid to force these courageous people to submit to yet another Soviet takeover. Latest figures indicate the Kremlin moguls are spending 13% of the country's gross national product on weapons of war, far beyond their own need for defence, and cannot feed their own population, compared with 4.9% by the United States,

4.6% by Britain and 2.7% by West Germany. Australia which leads the world in disarmament and has never been able to get its act together on defending this great nation, spends slightly less than 3%. Nuclear weapons, which sadly are by no means the ultimate in today's highly sophisticated age of technology are with us forever! While the Soviet Union continues to persist with its aggressive plan for complete world domination and by covert means of destabilising Western and Third World nations, what as yet remains of the free world, depends almost entirely on the United States to counter this atheistic totalitarian super power. To cease doing so would surely bring about, very quickly, the catastrophe your correspondent fears. The United States, far and away, the most generous nation in the world's history continues to pour countless millions of dollars into feeding and clothing the world's poor while a country like India, for example, which has developed its own atomic weapon, has recently placed orders with the Soviets for multi millions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry, including nuclear powered submarines and advanced aircraft.

Because of the combination of an expanded news coverage and associated production difficulties, priority in future will be given to double-spaced typewritten or handprinted letters of 150 words or less. Letters must include a name and address, not necessarily for publication, and be at The Record office by Monday morning the week of publication.

Difficult attitude from HUGH Cliff, Lesmur die SIR — Assuming the Premier of this state possesses a clear understanding of external verities, one can only suppose he is losing his grip. His apology for his Government's permissive approach to the establishment of a casino and the availability of hard-core pornography is pathetic; indeed, his claim that the introduction of an "X" rated certificate is calculated to protect children from the evils of porn, borders on outrageous hypocracy. There are really only two reasons for the Governments weak-kneed attitude

the collection of ill-gotten r evenue, and the lack of moral fibre to oppose popular vices. Christian virtues are being overwhelmed by pagan practices, and it is high time the Church stood up and proclaimed its divine commission: "whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven". (Matthew 16:19). If the WA Government is not prepared to completely change its policies on these vital issues and to bring its legislation into line with the standards demanded by the Kingdom of God, then it deserves to be voted — and prayed — out of office.

Hunger striker changes mind

TIJUANA, (Mexico) (NC) — Elizabeth Bouvia, the 26 year old cerebral palsy victim who staged a lengthy legal battle to b e allowed to die, changed her mind Easter morning and asked for help "to get better." At a Tijuana motel she had her first solid food in seven months -- a Mexican sweet roll. M s Bouvia felt frustrated in being unable to carry out her wish to starve herself to death under medical supervision and gave into the advice of friends to seek medical help.

Teachers have a difficulty

Ms Bouvia in September sued a hospital when it refused to provide pain killers and hygenic care while she starved.

French martyrs PARIS — Ninety-nine Catholics who were guillotined or shot to death during the French Revolution for refusing to submit their religious activities to civil authority have been beautified as martyrs by Pope John Paul II. They include 80 laywomen, 12 priests, four nuns and three laymen. All were executed by revolutionary leaders in early 1 794, after refusing to comply with the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, the law that imposed a reorganisation of the French Church. The law sought to separate French bishops from papal authority. It redefined diocesan boundaries and Church administration, r equired priests and bishops be elected by taxpaying citizens, and r emoved the Church's financial autonomy.

John Paul acts While some French Catholics submitted to the law by t aking a government required oath of fidelity, thousands defied it and were imprisoned, executed or forced to leave the country Church historians say 177 victims were guillotined in a square in Angers. An estimated 2,000 were believed shot to death during the first four months of 1 794 in a field in Avrille, near Angers Many victims were never identified. The Angers martyrs included people from all walks of life — servants. f armers, store owners, artists and 10 noblewomen.

WASHINGTON — To meet the spiritual needs of homosexual Catholics, Archbishop James Hickey of Washington plans to establish a special educational programme for pastoral ministers The archbishop has appointed a task force with the idea of establishing a specialised ministry but found additional education was needed first for priests and others who counsel homosexuals.

Arms for peace V ATICAN CITY (NC) -Pope John Paul II has upheld the right of a country to use arms to defend human rights and preserve peace. At the same time, the Church favours "maintaining the primacy of political efforts founded on reason, conviction and values over the use of military force," he said during a Holy Year Mass in St Peter's Square for more than 10,000 military personnel from 24 countries. He noted the Church has "for a long time proposed overcoming the balance of terror through a more efficacious international o rganisation," but upholds the right of nations to use arms "to discourage every violation of human rights or, in case of liced, to reestablish order." The pope told the soldiers, many of them in uniform, the morality of their profession was found in "this ideal of service to peace in single

national communities and even more in its universal context."

KNOW YOUR FAITH

Is it a wine glass or two faces in profile? Things are not always what they appear to be. Young people who might appear to be skeptical about their faith or who outwardly reject it can in fact be on a "profound spiritual journey." Often, after a few years, young people return to the faith of their childhood, but they return as adults not children.

When appearances are deceptive

Fresh out of high school and in his first year of college, the young man started to stay away from Sunday liturgies more and more often. Soon he ceased to attend at all. Mass and the sacraments just didn't seem to matter. This pattern continued after he joined the Army and served in Europe. He would later say that he didn't stop believing in God. It AS he described it, a "crisis of faith," a period of doubting and searching that lasted for about three years. Then one day the young man %vas drawn, almost Ines ph( ably, to a cathedral The bishop's homily had such an impact that the nun's crisis ended. He returned to the church of his youth. The young nun, who had struggled with his faith. eventually entered the semi nary and was ordained Today he is Bishop Rene Gracida of Corpus Christi, Texas. According to Father Joseph Kenna, stories such as Bishop Gracida's are quite common. Father Kenna is the representative for Campus and Young Adult Ministry. The scepticism by so many young people, said Father Kenna. is part of the common process of "rejecting of cleaning house, and then pulling things back in that fit."

By Joe Michael Fiest In fact, such people can he on a "profound spiritual journey," said Father Kenna, who served as a university chaplain for 14 years. After a few years, many young adults tend to come back to the faith of their childhood. But, he noted, the-y come back as adults, not children. The particular role of young-adult ministry "is to welcome young people back and listen to what they've found on their journey," suggested Father Kenna. The particular role of young-adult ministry "is to welcome youngpeople back and listen to what they've found on their journey," suggested Father Kenna. The whole question of God's existence, of faith and

belief, is made up of many dimensions, Father Kenna insists, and is very complex "In universities" he noted, "you meet people living extremely positive lives fundamentally, yet who say they are atheists. On the other hand. sinne people who say they believe in God are very selfish They are the centre of their universe. In a sense, the latter group is atheistic." Father Kenna discussed

how Christians Should react when someone they know seemingly rejects God. When people express disbelief, he said, a common reaction is to treat them in a condescending manner But that approach is not Good News, he said. "Our job is to announce the Gotxl News. The worst thing is to say or somehow imply that the person is had as a person." Of course, the priest

said, believers don't compromise or hide their own belief in God. First of all, advised Father Kenna, we must be willing to listen to stories of disheha wc must be non-judge• mental and sensitive. "It can he a compliment when someone tells you he is an atheist," the priest said. "He's resealing something very personal and deep." There is also the question

of what the "atheist" is realty discarding. "Very often, they're just rejecting religious symbols or some image of God that is deficient. So you must listen closcty to wtut they really are saying," Father Kenna said. What is most important is being able and willing to witness to our faith, he added. It must he apparent that our belief in God makes some difference in our lives.

The God many atheists reject "is not God as He really is at all," said Father R oger McGrath, a diocesan director of evangelisation. % tiny atheists draw God in narrow stmkes of the pen, Father McGrath thinks. They paint Him as "a petty God, a scorekeeper and punisher." Other times atheists cast God in a "distortion of a father image" and reject it. Father McGrath commented, adding that "I'd have no part of such a God either." The priest said that he is called on occasionally to help people a.s they struggle with questions about Clod. He indicated that it is not uncommon for Catholics to flirt with atheism for a time. Frequently it happens when a person is confronted for the first time personally with the presence of evil, he said.

The priest gave two instances: A student Who rejected God after the death of a best friend; a man who questioned the goodness of God because of the suffering his mother endured before dying. In those sorts of situations, Father McGrath said, people may well respond by concluding angrily: "There can't possibly be a good God who allows such terrible things to happen." Father McGrath takes such comments seriously, since atheists often throw the existence of evil in the face of believers as the reason for rejecting a divine being. Asked how he-handles that situation, Father McGrath explained that first he tries

The Record, May 10 — 16, 1984

Many questions to get individuals "to deal with their grief and anger." Only then are they in any condition to examine the possibility that their image of God might be somewhat flawed. The priest gently points out that God doesn't plan the tragedies that occur in human life. Often, Father McGrath said, the next step is to try and get the person to recognise that human beings are imperfect and so is the world we live in. Evil things happen — but that doesn't mean we must conclude that God can't exist. He added that, in his experience, people who confront such questions often become firmer believers in the long run. The experience of trauma, of suffering, often gives people an expanded notion of God, he

thinks Other times "grappling with questions can bring people back" to belief in God, he said. Some people become ath-

ents God as a "superhuman," the priest said. Then people conclude that God is nonexistent. Father McGrath also observed that people can he athiests because they "don't see where God makes a difference." He referred to views of the famous Austrian psychologist Karl Jung on the spiritual journey. Jung was convinced that people spent roughly 40 years on what he called the "external journey." involved with matters outside themselves. For Jung. many people only turn to religious matters when they are older, often after they reach a few deadencls. Then, the priest continued, individuals may become willing to start what Jung termed "the inward journey."

What was the early Christians brand of treason? Atheism as people describe it today was basically unknown among people of biblical times. Even the pagans were intensely religious in their own way. A world without God was simply unthinkable. UVing dose to nature, many ancient peoples were caught up in its recurring cycles. They stood in admiration of it, sometimes in fear. They reacted to God in the same ways they reacted to nature — with admiration and fear. Many people identified nature with God and tried to control it through Various religious rites. The Israelites did not go this far. God may have controlled nature. But for them God was distinct from nature — totally other. God may have made the sun to shine and the rains to fall. But neither the sun nor the rain were God. They were God's creatures. The author of Psalms 8 gives prayerful expression to this attitude of the Israelites: -0 Lord, Our Lord "how glorious is Your name over all the earth ' You have exulted Your majesty above the heavens -ttbenIbehold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers. -the moon and the stars which You set in place — -What is man that You should he mindful of him. "or the son of man that You should care for him.' It is true that after the Israelites entered the Promised Land they were strongly attracted to the nature worship and fertility cults of their neighbours. But they learned that this kind of infidelity brought disaster in its train. Yet even here, the Israelites were not denying God's existence. They were simply putting other gods in place of the God who had chosen them. Even pagan Rome was thoroughly religious. Paradoxically, the Romans called the Christians atheists. Why? Because the Christians refused to worship the Roman gods. In the Roman Empire, these gods were so much a part of life that rejection of them was regarded as suspiciously unpatriotic.

In fact, it was high Elva son. The author of the New Testament book of Revelation wrote to the churches of Asia Minor precisely to persuade them not to compromise their beliefs just to "get along" in society. But the social situation did pose a problem. The trade guilds — ancient versions of our labour unions — all had their patron gods and goddesses. Was the catty Cliristian expected to hand in his union card and risk financial and social ruin just to maintain his awlsHan integrity? For the author of Revelation, there was no choke.

By Father John Castelot Oh, there was atheism in Israel. The author of Psalm 14 could write: `The fool says in his heart, There is no God.— But this was not our modern atheism. It was not a denial of Gods existance. It was a practical atheism. This sort of atheism took the position that God was uninterested in human affairs. If God did not care what people did, then they had carte blanche to do as they pleased. And there were those who had other problems with God, like Job. The author of the Old Testament book of Job struggled with the question of whether God was fair and just. He was strut gling with the mystery of evil and suffering. The problem of evil is a real problem for people. In the Old Testament, Qoheleth, also known as Ecclesiastes, had problems all along the line over God. But neither Job nor Ecclesiastes tried to solve their problems by denying God's existence.

Atheism poses a challenge for Christians. It is the challenge to be as certain as possible that the God they speak of truly is the God of the Gospels. For often, what atheists reject is a distorted image of God that is not the God of the Gospels at all. This week our series looks into the various forms of atheism that are found in today's world. Father Edward K. Braxton distinguishes philosophical atheism from practical atheism in his article. The priest — a theologian, reflects on the various causes of atheism. Joe Michael Feist interviews Father Joseph Kenna, representative for Campus Young Adult Ministry. Father Kenna says the scepticism experienced by many youths is part of -rejecting, cleaning house and then pulling things back in that fit. Katharine Bird interviews theologian Father Roger McGrath who relates his experiences in helping people come to terms with their doubts about God's existence. He thinks that people who struggle with such questions may end up stronger believers in the long run. Father John Castelot makes some interesting observations on the lack of atheism among the people of biblical times. Even pagans were intensely religious in their own way, the scholar says. But, he notes, in the Roman Empire, the early Christians were looked up on as atheists since they rejected the various gods that were part and parcel of daily life.

For this dignity is this: Believers often share some grounded and brought to perfecresponsibility for atheism.

Atheism and its meaning "Well father, Iguess I am still a Cahtolic, sort of. But Ireally don't believe in God anymore," the student said. Ihave heard that seemingly contradictory statement many times in universities. It is a dramatic reminder that atheism is still a real possibility. It may take the form either of philosophical or practical atheism. Some people relate scientific and technological developments to atheism's existence. Others cite the influence of philosphical. sociological and political thinkers who interpret religious belief in a negative light. The Catholic student reading Marx. Nietzsche and Freud and not also reading St. Thomas Aquinas, Cardinal Newman, Father Rahner or the documents of Vatican Council II, might well conclude that religion is based on magic and superstition; that belief is the result of fear and dread. Today's students are likely to ask • Is it still reas4nable to believe there is such a reality as God in the traditional understanding of that word? • Even if the universe does have an ultimate power behind it that we may call God. who can say that Christ uniquely reveals this reality? • If Jesus is admitted, did He intend to establish what we know as the Church? With such questions, students may eventually undergo a shift in their understanding of religion. For example, they may embrace what some call "relativism," regarding all

religions as more or less equal. Or they may even go on a pilgrimage into another tradition, declaring that faith is a matter of historical circumstances and personal choices.

By Father Edward Braxton Bouts with relativism or atheism are part and parcel of the life of the mind that is so much present in university life. This is a time when students probe, investigate. question, theorise, doubt, reject and probe anew. But atheism is not essentially an abstract theory. In the end, human experience plays a big role in leading a person to believe in God or to reject belief. Arguments are not enough. Believers cannot easily persuade unbelievers to share their faith. And unbelievers cannot easily persuade

believers to adopt their slew. The experience of evil is one of the main factors leading a person to believe that there is no God. When people see innocent youths who are striving to lead a decent life suddenly stricken by terminal cancer and dying in a hospital room, while others who are unjust die at home in their own beds after a long full life. thcy ask: Why? How? If there is a God why do these things happen? Such questions become most acute when the experiences are personal touching oneself, or one's family and friends. Thoughts of suicide may accompany the conclusion that there is no God. For atheism can be a form of hopelessness. For some people. to conclude that there is no God is to conclude that life is a tale told by an idiot, so much sound and fury signifying nothing. But not always. Many people believe there is no God and lead productive. hope-filled lives, showing as much love and concern for their neighbour as do believers. When one thinks of atheists, a stereotype may come

to mind We may- think of an "atheistic communist" out to destroy Christian faith. But some people are atheists in practical terms These people actually may go to Mass on Sunday- and pray The' are practical atheists because they have made a "god" of some material good such as money or power. Thus they are idol worshipers. Or perhaps they never allow the God they say they believe in to touch their personal lives. What sense does it make to profess belief in God, while treating other human beings like dirt or despoiling the earth God has given? If we believed in God, we would love God; if we loved God, we would love every thing God created. Belief and unbelief, there fore, do not begin and end in the mind. They are info enced by total human expc rience. Sports activity, listen ing to music, learning about art, exploring nature and falling in love may shape belief far more than an argument in a book. The same is true of personal loneliness, frustration. suf feting and a deep awareness of the misery in the world.

Bouts with relativism or atheism are part and parcel of the life of the mind that is so much present in university life. This is a time when students probe, investigate, question, theorize, doubt, reject and probe anew. The Record, May 10 — 16, 1984

Family connection with horses carried

Herbert Phillip (Pinky) Hayes was born at Subiaco in 1913. After coming to WA f rom Ballarat, his father spent most of his W A working life driving a horse and dray for the Subiaco Council. Pinky's parents came from Victoria. There were six children of the marriage, of whom Pinky was the second youngest, and the lad started his working life at 12 when his father died. Times were tough for the family in those dole-less days. His first job while still at school, was driving a horse and delivery cart for Rokeby R oad grocers Walston and West for a w eekly wage of half -a-stone of potatoes and t wo big packets of currant luncheon biscuits. A lthough many will remember Pinky as t he proprietor of a highly -successful butcher shop in Cambridge Street from 1954 to 1977, horses have been the first and abiding love of the septuagenarian bachelor's life. He has shoed them, ridden them, driven them, bred them, fed them and thought about them for six decades. He still keeps two or three of them on a block he has at Wanneroo. He is a member of the Our Lady of Victories Parish, Wembley. Pinky has lived with the Cranley family, of whom he cannot speak highly enough, at their Wembley Hotel since November 1937. Nearly 47 years must be something close to a record for boarding uninterruptedly at the one hotel.

And it was in those early days that he first fell under the spell of horses His father's employment was driving a horse and dray for the Subiaco Council and Dad used to bring the combination home while he had his mid-day meal Young Pinky quickly struck up an amicable relationship with the plodding draught horse and occasionally was allowed to drive the outfit. He was also in the habit of wagging school to nick down to the nearby stables of the timber merchant. Whittakers, to ride horses. This and other departures from the path of learning foreshadowed the premature end of his formal education. Pinky, then 13 and having worked part-time since he was 12, had developed into a disturbing element for class-mates and teaching staff. The Subiaco State School principal, Robert Llewellyn. had unavailingly tried to stop the rot by frequent use of the cane. "It was three feet long and he was a big man,- Pinky recalls. -He used to put everything he had into bringing it down. I could see by the look on his face that he was not enjoying it. He could see by the look on mine that I wasn't enjoying it either."

Pinky has life of jcolour

Speak of Herbert Phillip Hayes and few would know who you were talking about, but call him Pinky Hayes and chimes of cordial recognition ring in a thousand mental belfries. Actually, the stocky little man whose humour and self -deprecating charity have endeared him to so many cannot remember ever having been called Herbert or any of its derivatives. The red hair and freckled face ordained he should be called Pinky (it could have been Blue or Ginger) from his earliest days.

The headmaster initially had misgivings, but he finally agreed to part with his problem pupil with the prophetic remark. -Well, I don't suppose he'll ever wear a collar and tie."

III-health forced Jack Delaneyout of business in 1926 and his juvenile off -sider took up employment with Eric Strauss, father of the sons who were later to gain cricketing fame, at his farrier and general blacksmith business in Barker Road. Here part of the light weight's duties was to weild a ten-pound hammer in the strenuous exercise known in the trade as striking. Another of his activities from this smithy was shoeing horses at Naylor's bakery in Nedlands. He would make up the shoes at Subiaco, put two or three sets plus tools in his saddle-bag, mount the pony about 4.30 p.m., ride to the Nedlands bakery, shoe the horses and get home about 10 p.m. Pinky's next lob was at the Fred Thomas trotting stable at Osborne Park, where he worked for two years on a live-in basis. Scarborough Beach Road then was made of planks and the bus driven by Harold Millett was a truck with rows of forms on the tabletop

facing each other -It was an education to work with a horseman like Fred Thomas. His son Don was also a great horseman and reinsman and he became chairman of stewards at the trots,- Pinky said Pinky took on the blacksmith's shop in Bay View Terrace in Claremont while still living at the Thomas Stables in Osborne Park He would work three horses before breakfast and then drive a horse and gig to Claremont to do a full day's work. -It was there", he said with a twinkle in his eye, "that I started my university career" To the mystified listener, he explains that he got a contract to sharpen the axes of the stonemasons working on the building of the new University.

'Three times a week-, he continues, "I would drive down to the university site, pick up the axes, sharpen them in the forge and deliver them back to the university. For that I was paid sixpence an axe. "At that time I used to get eight shillings (about 8(k) for a set of four shoes with rubber underneath them to stop the horses slipping on the new bitumen roads. For some time then he had been keeping a trotting horse or two, and he got his licence to drive at the trots when he was 17. All that was necessary then to get a licence was to drive a couple of laps after the last race of the evening. "I don't know whether the stewards ever worried about having a good look at you,"

he says. "In those days nearly everybody had a horse in the backyard and getting a licence was more or less automatic. In 1936 he was training a trotter owned by a businessman we will call Bill. Pinky took it to Karlgoorlie for the round and the mare and himself travelled up in luxury in one of the special padded horses coaches the railways then ran The mare was quartered at Joe Wilson's stables at Lamington and Pinky used to catch the tram out there every morning from his accommodation in a boarding house. Owner Bill and Pinky thought the horse would win her race, but in those difficult economic times neither had much money to put on it. Bill had a Kalgoorlie doctor acquaintance who he thought he could get to do the punting for them, but he was diffident about going to see him because he had a hole in the seat of his pants. Times were sure tough. However, he overcame the contretemps by borrowing Pinky's hat which he handled with considerable dexterity to cover the rent in the trews whenever the medico appeared likely to get astern of him in their walking conversation. The doc agreed to do the punting, but in the big race their horse finished second. The result was a hole in their combined finances bigger than the split in Bill's pants. Sequel One was the manner of their escape from the boarding house where Bill had been counting on the horse winning to pay their board. had R econnaissance revealed to him the landlady,

working in the kitchen, peregrinated between the stove and the sink When she moved to the sink both Bill, skulking by the front door, and Pinky cautiously descending the stairs loaded with a bag of harness gear, were out of her line of sight

*N‘lk0414"'"' When this occurred Bill, from his forward observation post, would furiously signal Pinky down. He'd make a few steps of the descent before Bill would stop him with the urgent signal the landlady was once again in effective vision range. Finally they were able to effect their escape unseen, with Pinky dashing down the street in one direction and Bill high-tailing it in the other. Once again the truth of the old army maxim had been demonstrated - time spent on reconnaissance is seldom wasted. Pinky's next moment of agitation occurred abreast of the Paddy Hannan drinking fountain when he heard strange footsteps gaining on him from behind. After fleeting thoughts of surrendering quietly, his r elief was considerable when the cause of the footsteps drew abreast. It was merely a kindly stranger offering to carry his bag of harness gear to the train. Then came Sequel Two of their horse's defeat The reality of his impoverishment was further borne in upon him by the striking contrast between the basic accommodation that he and the mare would have to share on the homeward

through his youth to adulthood

Catholicism is not to be mandatory

DUBLIN, (NC) — If Ireland and Northern Ireland formed one nation, the Catholic bishops would not push to make Catholicism the state religion, Bishop Cahal Daly of Down and Connor, Northern Ireland. "We believe the alliance of Church and State is harmful for both," Bishop Daly told the Forum for a New Ireland.

who became trainer journey and the luxury in which they had travelled to Kalgoorlie It was an open-sided cattle truck through which the early Spring wind was already beginning to whistle. The mare was at one end and Pinky was at the other, his only seat being a bale of hay. The horse, at least. had a canvas rug to cover her. The evening cold had bitten deep into Pinky's bones when the crawling goods train jerked to a halt at Bullabulling on completion of the first interminable leg of the journey. His joy was great, therefore, when fireman Vince O'Halloran invited him to join the engine crew for the next leg and get warm near the firebox. It was short-lived bliss, however. He found to avoid impeding the locomotive crew in their duties he had to sit in the tender, remote from the fire's warmth, where swirling coal dust was added to the miseries of the cold. A t the next stop he returned to the cattle truck, removed the rug from the horse and curled up under it on the bale of hay. They left Kalgoorlie at 5 pm on the Monday and got into Perth station at 2 am on the VVednesday.

He jumped on the mare bare-back, with the bag of harness gear in front of him, and rode briskly to the stables of Charlie Thomas in Farmer Street, North Perth, to collapse gratefully into a warm bed. That was his first trip to the Kalgoorlie Round. He has been to every one since in

circumstances that could be described as more salubrious. In 1937 Pinky moved into his present home, the Wembley Hotel, as a boarder. "Full board- he says, "was 30 shillings ($3) a week and you left your shoes outside the door every night to be polished They'd get knocked off if you did that in any hotel now.

-The move here was a turning point in my life." "I was a bit of a harumscarum then, but I came under the wise guidance of the late Michael Cranley and entered into the enjoyment of his 11 children. "It has been a wonderful home for me. I've met people staying here from all walks of life from all over the world." "I still get cards from many of them saying how impressed they had been with the friendliness of the hotel. "They mention things like the convenience of the bus service right outside the door and the excellent meals." Pinky's zest for life and willingness to extend a helping hand has led him into some great friendships. One was with the late Brother Paul Keaney when he was principal of Boys' Town at Bindoon. 'What a wonderful man he was," he says. "I could go on talking about him all day." Another is with former Commissioner of Police, John Doyle, who he met in interesting circumstances. Pinky one day was chasing on foot in Subiaco a runaway horse and gig when a

police Bentley car pulled up a longside him and the senior officer inside told him to hop on the running board while the law gave chase. After the pursuit had been successfully concluded Pinky ascertained that the helpful senior officer was none other than the commissioner. John Doyle It is a friendship that is still very close Pinky, never having chopped a chop in his life, started the Cambridge Street butcher shop in 1954. Initially, business was very poor. He decided to pick things up, what was needed in the vicinity was a cheap grocery store to draw people. He sold the idea to Tom (now Sir Thomas) Wardle who opened a Tom the Cheap shop nearby.

eNUPAll"" The butcher business started to improve immediately with the influx of customers drawn by Toms. Before that, however, Pinky had been up to his eyes in debt. So precarious was his position he became quite friendly with the bailiff, who used to appear more regularly in his shop than customers — one, Mrs. Jermy, who was his first customer and was a regular in the 23 years he had the business. With the advent of Toms and sheer business acumen by Pinky, the tide was turned to such an extent it became the best small butcher business in the State. Really, justice cannot be done to Pinky Hayes in an article of this nature where space is not unlimited. He deserves a book.

The forum established by Irish Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald, to draft proposals to unite Ireland, where Catholicism is the gate religion, and Britishruled Northern Ireland, which has a predominantly protestant population. Ireland's population is about 93 per cent Catholic, whereas in Northern Ireland only about 32 percent oft he population is Catholic. If the two were united, the combined population would be just over 70 per cent Catholic. Bishop Daly told the forum the bishops of Ireland and Northern Ireland would resist anyconstitutional proposals which might infringe upon protest-

ant rights or liberties. He said the bishops recognised the protestants' apprehensions. The bishops had repeatedly declared, t hey did seek to have Catholic moral teaching become the criterion of constitutional c hange or to have

Catholic principles enshrined in civil law. Bishop Daly added, t he Catholic bishops favoured laws which stress the "inestimable benefit to society oft he Christian vision of marriage and family life." The Irish Constitution prohibits divorce.

FATIMA THE ONLY HOPE

Russia's rise as the first communist country came about during the Russian Revolution era of 1917. By 1965 Russia had spread its evil totalitarian style government to 81 countries. How many countries that you know of that have fallen since then? In 1917, The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared at Fatima in Portugal warning us of Russias evil intentions ''. . Russia will spread her errors throughout This spreading of error is brought about the world . . by OUR apathy towards God. Wars are a direct result of mans sins. Our Lady also warned us of possible future destruction . . complete nations will be annihilated, unless man turns back to God . ." Between 1968 and 1980 the USA installed no new nuclear weaponry due to unilateral disarmament policies. The USA now has 8000 fewer nuclear missiles deployed around the world than it had in the late 1960's. While the USA has been unilaterally disarming, the Soviet Union has deployed annually 125 new improved missiles. So much for unilateral disarmament. Nuclear deterrence is essential to retain the disjointed peace we now have in the world, but it won't bring the true Christian peace which we all want. So what is the answer. In the final stages of the Apparitions at Fatima, The Blessed Virgin Mary promised the conversion of Russia if certain conditions were fulfilled. This promise is not to be taken lightly, as it is a promise to mankind direct from God in Heaven, delivered to us by the Queen of Heaven, The Blessed Virgin Mary. Russia VV1LL be converted if we fulfill these conditions. Are you going to wait untill your freedom and your country are wrenched from you? One of mans most important gifts is his free will. Under communism you will have no free will. If you try to practice your faith you will be martyred for it. Just ask the Vietnamese refugees. The time is now to put an end to the devils plans. For if we follow the message of Fatima then we can bring about the era of peace which Our Lady has promised to us. But it is conditional. WE will have to work for it.

If you wish some information on the Fatima message, please write to PO Box 66 Guildford 6055, and you will receive a booklet describing the Apparitions and showing you what must be done urgently.

Wise words on war . .

On April 17, Dr Helen Caldicott gave a talk at the Concert Hall entitled Nuclear Madness — What You Can Do ... I'm gladI went along to listen to this well-informed woman.

There was much talking, laughing, learning and singing at the recent CPY Leadership Formations Sessions and our pictures show the two sides. (Above): Chris Straw, Julie Della Franca and Tom Commins discuss a point while (below) Julie Della Franca provides the music for Julie Pickering, Alison Young, Fabian Uzaraga, David Lanigan, Rick VVieman, Barbara VVillock, Maureen VVillock and Peter Vander Kwast.

She was originally working as a doctor but now devotes her time to the nuclear disarmament issue — particularly in the US, as it is a big election campaign issue. She founded Women For Nuclear Disarmament and has produced a thought provoking film, If You Love This Plant. She spoke on the arms race and the stupidity of the "my missile's bigger than your missile" mentality She also outlined the results of a nuclear war. There are no winners. The horrifying physical effects ( not even considering the psychological or social ones) are shattering.

Ministry

Dr Caldicott is very much aware of the problems faced in disarmament, but she does give you a different angle on the ideas we are commonly fed Consider: that the Russians are as scared as we are; that we are one earth, one humanity: that there are no Russian or American babies, only babies. Her Christian belief, that we have no enemies but are all people who basically don't want to hurt Of be hurt, rings true. Her awareness of the whole nuclear arms issue is impressive The facts she quoted were frightening ( particularly concerning nuclear computer errors). However she called for pro pie to let the Government

know (i.sa the Labor Party Congress Representatives) that many Australians don't support the alliance with the US on uranium exports and military Erase support. The reasoning behind this protest is complex and there are pros and cons. but it is worth a try It proves that people can do something, Her message seemed to be. 'let's work together for one world, for peace'. It's a big task but in small steps we can begin to do it. We are all just human beings, sharing this earth, and as Christians, we shouldn't let our fellow men be destroyed. Dr Caldicott real! . made me think about what I wanted for the world. And I don't v.-ant a nuclear war JENNY BARNARD `ft:A

WASHINGTON (NC ) — The U.S. Catholic Conference Department of Education will combine its youth ministr, young adult ministrA and m uffi Father Joseph F. Kenna, present I "SCC representative for c ampus ministry and young adult ministry, will concentrate on campus ministry realignment when the becomes effective. A new representative for ymth and young adult ministries is expected to take office in September. That person will replace the present USCC representative for youth ministry, John S. Farnsworth. whose resignation will become effective in June. While there are "distinct differences" between .youth and young adult ministries. they are similar in "style and function . . Both have a primary base in the parish. although much effective ministry is done with alienated Catholic young adults outside of the immediate parish context.

The losing spiral

An article in and Adelaide newspaper, The Advertiser, on February 18 was titled, "How youth loses out in the unemployment/wages spiral". The author of the article examined the question of whether decreasing the wages of persons under 21 will lead to more employment for youth. He also discussed the effects this move might have in other employment areas. In the West Australian of Wednesday. March 28 there was an article and an editorial comment on the "attempt" of Federal MP, Mr Stephen Lusher to live on t he equivalent of the dole for a week. The editorial opinion and the comments of the Special Minister, of State, Mr Young and the Social Security Minister, Grimes both S enator implied outrage at Mr Lusher's 'stunt'. suggesting it was the produce of "i m maturity and . . . arrogance".

Recently I heard someone remark, "many of our young people have never experienced live theatre" Most seem to be slaves of the celluloid image, the video tape and the transistor radio. Many have attended a rock concert hut few have experienced classical music or popular play. Few have taken part in a theatrical production. In the last few weeks I have had an extra taste of live entertainment. A recent experience was at a seminar put on by the Department of Youth. Sport and Recreation where young unemployed people have formed a dramatic group. The second was my chance meeting with Mr David Crann who for many years has brought the finer arts to hundreds of West Australians, young and old. Finally it was my participation in Holy Week Easter Song Cantata presented by Mercedes School that made me think again about the part that acting and live drama plays in our lives. Mr David Crann claims that Church-going young people have an innate sense of drama because of their experience of liturgy but unfortunately few have occasions to express this innate feeling. The majority of young people have little occasion to express their love for drama and acting other than the 'liturgies' associated with our sporting clubs. (a touch of pageantry ceremonial). The Olympics are almost upon us and again we will be treated to a feast of "liturgy- in praise and glory of sport. the human endeavour of trying to shave another hundredth of a second off a previous record.

Young people, by and large. have little experience of public speaking, have little or no opportunity to take part in plays, operettas. operas, musical symphonies or bands. I don't know if there are any school bands left (of the stationary or marching variety). Is the computer, science and the mad mad pop world taking over the finer things of life? Young people seem doomed to be spectators. The Record, May 10 — 16, 1984 13

What Do Women Want? by Luise Eichenbaum and Susie Orbach, published by Fontana, $4.95. Reviewed by Jean Neuth in The Universe. Do women know what they want? Most, I 'm sure, think that they do. They want and need a loving and and caring relationship and yearn to feel important in the society in which they live. When Susie Orbach and Luise Eichenbaum pose their question they are looking into women's deep desires and often unconscious needs. More, they try to analyse the reasons for these needs, and this is where the book takes an importam step towards helping women to understand themselves. Dependency is the pivot on which both men and women relate. "For too long have we laboured under the mr,h that men are big and strong and independent; and that women are passive, helpless and dependent," say Orbach and Eichenbaum. The authors define dependency as a basic human need — not a sign of weakness or a refusal to accept responsibility. The pattern in our society is set so that women are seen to be dependent on men, both physically and financially. What women want is to be dependent emotionally, to share their feelings and have them understood. What emerges from this book is that men are just as dependent as women, although they are encouraged to hide it. Women are the emotional "caretakers" as mothers,

Trying to find out what it is that women want nurses, homemakers. wives and men can generally find a female partner who can respond to their emotional needs. As the authors say: "Boys' and men's emotional dependency needs are less exposed and more continually met." Yet women, as mothers. create the N•ery problem of men's conditioning.

The Len Morton trained Strike Rate was racing in much stronger company than he will meet against his age group and is a top prospect for the 3 yo staying classic. DIAMOND CHIMES looked unlucky when a fast finishing third to Burrah Pica at Ascot on Saturday. After getting well back early, Diamond Chimes sprounted wings over the concluding stages and only failed narrovvling to catch the winner. Diamond Chimes should win a similar race shortly. HELENA BOY is a horse that obviously has plenty of ability and will definitely win more races. At Ascot on Thursday he showed plenty of dash to win the staving graduation after being expertly ridden by top apprentice Shayne Newling. Helena Boy should keep on improving and Ls a horse to follow.

PREGNANCY HELP HOUSES WANTED Pregnancy Help requires a duplex or suitable housing for rental on a share basis by young mothers and their babies. A Government grant enables rent to be paid for this accommodation, and as it is mainly required for former residents of Elizabeth House the Carlisle area is preferred so that these girls can retain their contact with Elizabeth House. Outside supervision will be provided by Pregnancy Help social workers, and Pregnancy Help will be responsible for rental and maintenance of premises.

The only type of rental accommodation available to these young mothers is State Hous• ing Commission flats which we consider unsuitable to their needs.
