Calling the path of youth today a "Rocky Road" an interchurch 1984 Social Justice statement asks for a $850 million programme to correct anomalies in the youth employment scene. It says that a seven-point programme of indexation of benefits, training allowances and living-away-from-home assistance would cost less than the tax cuts given to income earners in the 1984 budget. Concentrating on the 270,000 youth in Australia who cannot find work, the statement says anomalies in the income security system affect not only youth but everyone. "The prospect of a two-society nation makes such reform all the more urgently needed," says the statement.

EJEJ Events in Rome this week have brought world-wide media attention to Liberation Theology -- the place of the gospel in political and social change. The full text of the Vatican instruction issued last month reached The Record on Wednesday and will be published in instalments beginning next week.

Issued to co-incide with International Youth Year 1985 the statement prepared in conjunction with a number of Catholic, Anglican, Uniting and Lutheran Church committees and commissions admits there is no clear definition of the category "youth".

NEW YORK: Arthur and Helena Dede considered themselves "ordinary devout Catholics". But "ordinary" might not be the right word, because each of their eight children became priests or sisters. "That's just the way it turned out," said Father Paul Dede, the youngest of the eight.

All in the family "There were always parish priests in and out of our house, and there seemed to always be one p arish priest who coached us boys in sports and was always around," he added. Father Paul Dede is chaplain at the Gulfport and Miloxi, Mississippi, Veterans Administration

hospitals. Father John Dede, the eldest, is pastor at a parish in Terre Haute, Indiana, where the family was raised. Father James Dede is the pastor of a parish in Indiana. Four of the five Dede daughters enterd the Sisters of Providence. Sister Angele (Marcelles) is in Chicago, Sister Mary Mar-

garet, a counsellor at a hospital in San Francisco, Sister Kathleen is a pastoral minister at the University of California, in Davis, California, and Sister Eileen teaches in Terre Haute. Sister Patty Ann, the only daughter who is not a Sister of Province, is a Benedictine nun working at the Beech Grove, Indiana.

STUDENTS HERE The biggest group of students for the priesthood to undergo pastoral training has moved into local parishes this week to study and take part in parish activity. As part of their regular seminary semester, the six students will spend three months gaining pastoral experience, speaking at Sunday Masses and taking part in catechetical programmes. They will also get experience in marriage preparation work and in home visitation. The time spent in the parish situation is considered to be a formal part of their training for the priesthood. E ach student is required to review their practical work and how it integrates with the courses they are studying at the seminary. Each week the student and the priest have a session to review the past activity and at the end of their parish stay both the priest and the student write assessment reports for the seminary.

New chief takes over in NCEC

Revised terms Education Commission

National flThe has received revised statutes and

terms of reference.

They say: "The Commission shall accept as a premise that the Church has, and must be seen to have, a deep and systematic c oncern for the quality of education available to all Australians. "It shall maintain the Church's traditional special regard for the spiritually, culturally, physically, and financially disadvantaged or deprived. "Education in Catholic schools shall be one major focus of the commission's thought and work. "Other focuses shall include the religious education of Catholic students not in Catholic schools, tertiary and post-secondary education, the continuing education in f aith of young persons and adults (but not seminary religious theological education)."

The National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) will have a new chairman from January 1, 1985. He is Sir Bernard Callinan of Kew, Victoria. He will replace Father John Williams, of Hobart, who will finish his second term as chairman at the end of the year.

A t Guildford last week, former residents of St Charles get together before setting out on their pastoral placement in parishes and found the saint's statue is still keeping guard in the seminary corridor: from left Peter Growney from All Hallows College, Dublin who is at Gosnells; Brian Limbourn who will serve at Hamersley; Michael Sheehan at Highgate; Gary Hamson at Lockridge and Richard Rutkauskas at DianeIla.

New Palmyra church

Sir Bernard was born in Melbourne in 1913, and has been a consulting engineer most of his working life. He has held many public positions especially in education, and is chairman of the authority which is building the new Parliament House in Canberra. In 1942 he was a leader in the guerilla warfare carried out by a tiny group of 300 Australians against 6000 Japanese in East Timor. He was mentioned in dispatches for his part in the campaign and awarded the Military Cross. His later war service earned him the Distinguished SerVice Order. His book on the Portuguese Timor campaign. "Independent Company" first published in 1953. has just been re-released by William Heinemann. He has held several major positions in Catholic education and tertiary education in Victoria and finished six years as a member of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace, which meets in Rome. He is also president of the Melbourne Cricket Club. Sir Bernard was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1971 and was knighted in 1977. He said he is looking forward to working with the NCEC.

"I see Catholic education as absolutely vital for the future of the Church, in Australia and the world," he said. "The pope has frequently stressed its importance — and has done so most emphatically." Father Williams, the retiring chairman, has been a member of the NCEC since it was set up in 1974. "As NCEC's chairman for the past five years and its official spokesman, Father Williams has made an immense contribution to Catholic education in Australia," said Archbishop Carroll of Canberra, chairman of the bishops' committee for education. "Under his leadership the NCEC has grown. "It has become more effective in its co-ordinating and unifying role within the Church." Archbishop Carroll was the NCEC's chairman before Father Williams.

Record Where the roaring machines lead to another Australia With another interminable constitutional argument diverting valuable parliamentary time and grabbing the headlines daily and even the Catholic Church taking up prime news time with its crisis over liberation theology did the bikies choose a bad time to fight their deathdealing battle? The question is neighter insensitive nor cynical because few other groups in the community appear to crave so much to be noticed. They thrive on their peculiar uniform, on the mesmerising roar of their machines, on the huddling in groups wherever they pause. The shoot-out was deliberately planned at a bikie display. The initial shock aside, was the death of six nebulous figures likely to tear at the emotions of the Australian public? The unfortunate young woman killed in the crossfire was the sorry victim of the affair. Perhaps the public has nothing to grieve over in these bloody tragedies because it is not they but ambulance and emergency staff who pick up the dead and wounded remains. It is a vast squad of overworked police who have to wade through hundreds of thankless interviews against stonewalling silence. Perhaps the cold-blooded deliberateness with which the gangs had prepared for this moment of confrontation was its own rejection of public sympathy. They neither want nor need the public to grieve over their misfortune. In a gesture of incomprehensible tribal madness assassination and the finding of their culprits in their perogative and theirs alone.

DEE For all the hideous brutality of the occasion, real life killing is no match for the televised version which are devoured for hours endlessly and where the dead lie sprawled as a form of home entertainment. There is more mileage in re-playing the Chicago St Valentine's Day massacre than in a Sydney mass slaying. Or will some enterprising script writer one day enshrine this too in another television drama? The link with the box and the screen is provocative. Academics and vested interests claim that hours of visual shoot-outs on the screen are no more than an escape value for pent-up human anger. The American Western translates into practically every language and culture. It's a badge of tolerance to like a good Western. These hot blooded Australian bikies don't carry the names of bushrangers, cattle-duffers or whoever else once terrorised the Australian countryside but names like bandidos and comancheros - right out of the American movie that has fantasised reality into larger than life heroics. Their blood surges at the thought of the terror that marauding bands strike into the hearts of the little people in life. The roar of their machines is the thundering of the hooves amplified a thousand times over in the cinema until life becomes no longer real but a pained, introverted storm of hate, bitterness and rejection of everything that is not themselves.

EDE Only against this background could a few comments be heard last weekend over the senseless destruction of life at the end of a rifle but at the discovery of some of the sickness now permeating the Australian society that prized itself on its legendary spiritual health. There were calls to stamp out this un-Australian behaviour. But has the rogue horse slipped out of the yard? Is there now a runaway society that has built its own iron wall and rules of survival? Is there a lost generation in our midst? Another Australia? The bikie phenomenon had been around fora long time. He is no longer the hairbrained adolescent having a year or two off the leash. These are adult Australians, married or partnered into a lifestyle that is another world. Sociologists try and make sense of the philosophy. In the Eastern States a Uniting Church minister has made the bikies his field of mission. The death of the Sydney bikies, then, is way beyond the traditional religious moral discussion over the value of human life and the immorality of murdering another. The sin, harder to define but no less sinister and possibly more evil, is that of alienation. The outlaws who rode into the defenceless towns and shot up the citizens were not guilty of murder; they were numb to the experience. They were outsiders, the alien rejects of society. In real life they were neither likeable or forgiveable. What Australia witnessed on its television screens last Sunday night was not a fantasy but a hint of the disturbing tension and separateness that embroils youth today and which is taken up in the social justice statement on youth. Time and time again the statement comes back to the Australians of tomorrow who feel hopeless and helpless, who are locked out and isolated from employment and sense of challenge that ought to tap the energies of a young man and woman facing life. It would be shortsighted morality that quibbles over the possession of guns and weapons when simmering hate, despair and potential violence may be the path into which some of Australia's urban outcasts are now riding

The Record, September 6 — 12, 1984

The Record's Editor talks to Father Gore

Help the poor When Bishop Fortich was appointed in 1967 he was told to do something for the poor because conditions on Negros were getting worse. So he started social action programmes and education. Other dioceses said they had no problems but the problems were there if you wanted to feel them out. Under the martial law Church the was involved in the Churchmilitary liaison committee, and thus in the trouble spots church people, including we f oreigners, were involved in listening to t he problems of the people who could not listen to the courts. According to the theory, this would help maintain peace and order. We would take our reports to the bishop and the people would r attle off military abuses, land and wages problems. Who was stirring? The committee was an instrument of the martial law, so in doing this, we were only obeying the laws of the country. The problems were being heard but were not receiving attention. A n abusive soldier would never be disciplined or brought to court, but simply transferred to another area. In the case of the killing of the Negros Nine just before the recent elections the bishop is pushing for action but a result is doubtful. The military know too much.

I as a missioner was not showing them the road. They were showing me the road along which they wished to go and in response to that they were able to get me into trouble...

It is a 15 year experience that is not finished. I have been formed by that for a type of ministry that is not going to be terribly different in the years ahead. I would like people to say: that was an experiencee in which we

Now it is time to learn the positive things, especially because there are a lot of Filipinos in Australia. It will break down the fear which generates racism if we try to know what these people are

System small

The people with whom I worked were marginal sugar growers who had cleared little farms of a half-hectare on government land over which they had no security. They had come from other parts, possibly thrown off the land on the other side of the hills, or victims of the slash and burn culture, but now they had nowhere else to go, and they stuck in their roots. The land had not reached the point where it could be alienated by Father so the little farmer just hung in.

Meanwhile, more than 3000 troops in. Skullduggery moved in when the forest ranger, for example, said there were no squatters living on the land being handed over to the big farmer. The new owner was paying only a nominal rent for his holding and technically he was supposed to have a certain number of cattle to the hectare. So it was up to the new owner to get rid of the poor squatters. Years ago the poor people just surrendered and moved on. They couldn't handle the pressure of the big farmer

As long as they had a roof over their head and somewhere to get out of the rain and a raised floor under which to keep their pig or caribou, they survived simply. But for these people to have their pig stolen or die, or to lose their caribou

Showing the strain

could mean the difference between starvation and life. It was a crisis if sickness hit the family and he had to sell his animal at a low price in a hurry to raise money for hospital attention. During the off season, they might run out of corn and find rice too expensive, living on kasava roots which filled them but was not substantial food. Last year for the first time, they were eating roots which were poisonous unless washed and dried several times. Other small farmers on three to five hectare farms had a reasonable livelihood. On the bigger farms, the workers were stronger in their bargaining and had got what they needed. But in marginal areas, the worker might get 12 pesos (75 cents) a day, rarely 18 pesos. If they went in search of seasonal sugar work, they found it hard to carry on for 10 hours a day with little nourishment. But if they did not take the job there were plenty of others who were waiting. My first frustration came in the lowlands parish of Kabankalan where I was new and learning the language. I was very much involved in the traditional town Christianity, hearing confessions, giving communion and looking after the local high school children. Then I began to meet the workers coming off the land

with their problems, or being thrown off. I got caught up in those problems. Naturally enough when this happens the large farmer going to church is going to confront you, and say you are listening only to one side. Very often we would refer the farmers to lawyers. The diocese had four full time lawyers working on land, labour and criminal cases for farmers who would be referred by their parish priests. This brought us into conflict with the planters. It used to get to me on Sundays when tryiing to talk on brotherhood, but to see the planter there in church along with his workers and no chance of unity between them. After Mass the planter would have another go at me and say: why can't I talk about something else. No matter at what level of morality we spoke. we would hit them anyhow. Mass was often just a social occasion where the men would go out for a cigarette during the sermon. They had come only because their wives insisted on their coming. Without much commitment to the Mass, it irritated them when the priest spoke on these issues. It make him uneasy. It was a challenge because if he treated his workers as brothers, it would break down the social system.

It makes for a much better Church to have an integrated sharing of different peoples. We should be on a campaign to get people to know and understand the Filipino Church. We should get someone like Bishop Fortich to come down to talk to us...not about Marcos and all that...but really to listen to another bishop telling us about the Filipino Church.

The government said the Archbishop called for the demonstration following the arrest of a Nicaraguan priest, Father Amado Bena, who had been "caught red-handed" associating with the anti-government National Democratic Front

El El El The expelled priests are among those who took part in the demonstration. The government says they have breached the terms of their residence permits which require them not to become involved in the internal domestic affairs of the country.

Heart of community The heart of the Christian community where I worked is the Sunday liturgy where the bible is discussed and they try to apply it to their daily lives. It is built on the liturgy of the word because often the communities did not have a eucharistic liturgy. Among groups of 15-30 houses there was a leader whom we would train, who would bless the dead when they were brought in, carry out baptismal instruction and lead the Sunday liturgy and the discussion on how to apply the word to their life in a session lasting up to three hours. Sometimes they would raise questions about eviction and what they could do during the week when the police came with the eviction order. This was the power of their unity, the implication of being e ach man's brother, of risking life or anything to help him if he was in trouble.

DODO Another community leader might take up the dynamics of community action. He was called the president of the community. We trained all of these leaders including the health workers, who specialise in herbal medicines which are strong in the Phillipines. Thus the social things are not separate in their lives but are the result of their reflection and coming together because of their faith. When we arrived some were already holding these Sunday gatherings but they would simply read out a sermon or a homily. But when discussion of the word was introduced, it became dynamic because they were challenged to apply it to concrete situations around them. We got permission from the bishop and our Columban superiors to experiment with these face to face communities where people got to know each other and inter-act. The bishop was enthusiastic when the community prepared their groups for confirmation. For the first time there were adult confirmations where confirmation was only for the young.

• Cent page 11

Among the expelled are four Spaniards, two Italians, two Costa Ricans, one Canadian and one Panamanian.

Accusations by planters The planters accused us of listening to only one side of the story but the real story was what the poor workers were actually getting and what the law said they should be actually getting. Some said we were stirring. up the people, but in all our work whether over land or labour issues we always got the people legal aid. In other words we were telling the people this is the law and if you avail yourself of the law you may be able to get somewhere. There is a frustration for the poor man going through the courts. If you are a poor man's lawyer you are not going to go anywhere. The frustration and anger was rising not because we were exposing the situation but because the government itself was showing its inadequacy in implementing the law because of the corruption of the police or the judiciary in a system where the land owner class had the ear of the judge. Many of the laws about labour were basically good laws but the poor man was constantly exposed to a system where he could get no bail. There needed to be no

e vidence, no prima facie case, just the verbal accusation of some people and on that basis the man could be gaoled. He had to find out how much was the bail and find a lawyer to appear in court.

ECJC1 It could cost the poor man 200 pesos plus a 1000 peso retainer — the equivalent of two weeks wages — and then the case would be postponed because the judge or the other party did not turn up. The land owner would be away in Manila or at Lourdes on a pilgrimage! The case could go on for three to five years. It could cost him hundreds of pesos just to get to court. He might be thrown off his land or locked out of his work. He could not face that.

A militant worker could be charged with stealing and then threatened with gaol unless he could find the 1000 pesos bail. But he had to raise that bail on land over which there was no mortgage or tax encumbrance. In one incident the court case went on for two years and the decision was in their favour, but the land owner appealed to the next higher court. The locals went on strike but he brought in the scab workers and the guns. The communities stood their ground, and he had to pay the workers 35,000 in back wages. The bishop was the arbitrator in the settlement. This was the landowner who had brought a case against me just before I returned home in 1982. • Cont page 11

Plea from refugees VATICAN CITY (NC): A group of international refugees has urged the pope to continue to speak on behalf of refugees and victims of war. The group, most of whom were not Christian and were from several nations, including Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Ghana, were brief a granted audience with the pope. Several had fled the fighting between Iran and Iraq, which have been at war for three years. "The thing that saddens us the most, besides the continual massacres in our countries, is that the world thinks our two populations hate each other," said Ardeshir B.

Sick will need cards for anointing

Special cards will be needed for the anointing of the sick at the New Norcia pilgrimage festival on September 30. A special area will be set aside for the sick, disabled and elderly who wish to receive the sacrament of anointing and an official card must be obtained on arrival at New Norcia. The themes of this year's celebration in honour of Our Lady of Good Counsel is Hope Peace and Love. Archbishop Foley will celebrate the Mass at 10.30 am which is followed by the procession and benediction.

Pilgrims are reminded to bring their own food. A limited number of barbecues will be available. Portable chairs or rugs will be an advantage as well as protection against the weather if necessary.

"We don't feel our countries' war is a war between the two peoples. "We are here to give witness to that," he said. One of 35 refugees from Afghanistan said she was separated from her husband during their flight from the country and had not seen him since. Another Afghan said he saw his brother shot and killed during their escape. "I couldn't even stop to cry over his body," he said. "There are so many who would like to escape the fighting that grips our country. "But too few succeed, and the price we pay is very high," he said.

Church and economics NEW YORK (NC): Free enterprise was "the only system truly consistent with our religious beliefs," a witness told the Lay Commission on Catholic Social Teaching and the US Economy. Much of the tone of the six -hour hearing, in which 10 economics experts testified, was set by witness Robert Genetski, vice-president and chief economist of the Harris Trust Bank of Chicago. Most witnesses did not explicitly address the role of the Catholic Church in evaluating economic issues.

A few years ago Rome issued some recommendations with regard to pilgrimages: • Pilgrimages must always have a truly religious character: • They must be conducted as acts of Christian piety; • Pilgrimages should be made in a spirit of fervent prayer, self-denial and recollection. We believe that these attributes have always been the central core of our pilgrimage. Further enquiries: (New Norcia) — Father David Barry OSB.

SIR: While agreeing with W.V.C. Thomas The Record that "Mary has promised us she will save the world through her Rosary and the Scapular..." it should be remembered the promise was a conditional one, the condition being nuclear disarmament. Part of Our Lady's words reportedly spoken in the t hird Fatima Secret say "There is no order in anything. Even in the highest positions, it is Satan who governs and decides how affairs are to be conducted "He will even know how to find his way to the highest positions in the Church. "He will succeed in sowing confusion in the minds of

the great scholars who invent arms with which half mankind can be destroyed in a few minutes. "He will bring the mighty ones under his thumb and make them manufacture armament in bulk.

"Then it is that God will punish men, more harshly and more severly than He punished them by the flood, and the great and powerful shall perish thereby as well as the small and the weak. . Mr. J.F.

Pope warns on nuclear VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has urged an international meeting of scientists to help free the world from the grave risks of new nuclear weapons and t he catastrophic "nuclear winter" their use could bring. The papal message, signed by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal A gostino Casaroli "in t he pope's name," called on the experts to help build the mutual trust and respect which would lead to peace. The scientists, including representatives from the United States, Soviet Union and China held their week-long seminar on nuclear war in Erice, Sicily. "The theme of nuclear winter and the new defence systems calls attention once again to the many grave consequences to which the use of nuclear weapons exposes all humanity,"

said the pope's message. "It is his (Pope John Paul's) hope this gathering will further the mutual respect and confidence between peoples, upon which peace must be built," the message said. The message said the E rice conference, which has met every 1981, year since o ffered a chance.

We are landowners who have built our lives and history at Kwangema," they said.

Czechs push 'sponsored' atheism U PRAGUE: Czechoslovakia has attempted to defend its policy of State-sponsored atheism in an article in the Communist Party daily Pravda. The article says while the Socialist State guaranteed religious freedom, it "openly strives to convince people to adopt a scientific world outlook." "The ruling class in every State fights for the dominance of its own ideology," and a Socialist State is no exception, Pravda says. "Non-Marxist ideas are gradually overcome by the method of persuasion and not by repression." The paper rejects accusations religion is suppressed in Czechoslovakia and says these stem from "circles who in the past had misused the Church as an instrument of their power" and who "in the clericalising of our lives sought their own political aims." Western diplomats describe Church-State relations in Czechoslovakia as among the worst in the Eastern bloc.

The young people sat casually around the desks and stools and floors of the modern double classroom. Their relaxed manner was a dramatic contrast to the serious looks on their faces. I asked the 150 high school juniors how many of them had experienced divorce in the immediate families. More than half the hands went up. Ihad come to Alaska for a week at the invitation of Archbishop Francis Hurley to speak about the Church's concern for divorced persons and their families. A divorced high school English teacher, Betty Egan, invited me to talk to the juniors and seniors at Kodiak High on "How Not to Get Divorced." "What do you think is the most important thing you can do not to get divorced?" I asked them. "Marry the right person," a number of them piped up, almost as if rehearsed. "How do you know it's the right person?" They looked as though the question had never occurred to them before. "You just know," they answered confidently. It struck me that the romantic tradition is alive and well among America's young people. Despite all the family disruption of the past generation, most of these Alaskan teenagers still

believed that somewhere there was the right someone for them, and all they had to do was find that right person, marry him or her and live happily ever after. These young people seemed to have little awareness of the factors that make building a lasting married relationship so much more possible.

Some researchers today feel that many marriages undergo serious stress and some come apart around rather predictable life passages or stages of adult development that can be recognised. Much has been written about the midlife crisis for men or the tranisition in their 30s for women, and the effect of these stages upon marriage. I tried to break the marry-the -right -person bubble by asking the

Preparing young people for long lasting marriage young people what changes occur in married life after eight or ten years. They stared at me. Personal change and its effect on a marriage relationship seemed beyond their pale picture of marriage. More education, especially by married people sharing their personal journeys, could be most valuable for them. I then asked how many in the group had close relatives living nearby — grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Their response confirmed my hunch that young Alaskans are an extreme example of the fact that

Conflict is a fact of life This is a scene from a recent television series: Two well-educated people marry and take up life together in the country where the husband's career is established. The wife, content at first with being a homemaker, soon finds herself at loose ends. M time paws, this feeling increases, in spite of her joy in becoming pregnant But, as often happens. she doesn't tell her husband how she feels. because

By Katharine Bird he is so obviously content with his duties as a schoolmaster and with her He. in return, works hard at avoiding the obvious signs of his wife's unhappiness He even denies there is any problem when his colleagues make an effort to tell him. The simmering conflict comes to a head when the wife has a miscarriage and plunges into a lingering depression Finally, in desperation, she runs away. The husband follows and. in a dramatic meeting. the wife confesses how useless she feels and how meaningless her life has become The husband, agitated and upset but very much in love with her, says he doesn't

see how he can live without his wife. That situation of conflict, portraying a marriage in the late 1930s, is from To Serve Them All My Days, produced by Masterpiece Theater. In the series. through the conflict has all the potential for disaster. David and Christine Powlett-Jones are able to talk through their difficulties and find a solution. Thanks to the helpful suggestion of a third person, Mrs Powlettiones finds an outlet for her abundant energies and talents by joining in her husbands's work as an educator. Conflict, as marriage counsellors are quick to note, is a fact of life for most married couples. Drs Evelyn Eaton Whitehead and James Whitehead refer to conflict as "one of the many embraces of marriage," in their book. Marrying Well: Possibilities in Christian Marriage Today For the Whiteheads. the presence of conflict doesn't necessarily mean the marriage is on the rocks. On the contrary, they think conflict can be a sign of health, since it provides couples an opportunity to learn how to communicate better with each other. The Whitehead& free-lance consultant and lecturers, often pool their interest in psychology and theology in their books and articles. In "Marrying Well," they point out that conflict "is likely to generate strong emotions." one reason many people find it difficult to handle. The Whiteheads say married couples tend to display two common patterns for handling COnfliCt: avoidance or engagement Avoidance: Refusing to admit any conflict exists and even going to some

lengths to get out of facing conflict Some people according to the Whitehead& make it a practice to deny they have any conflicts. Sometimes they do so out of a fear of strong emotions, in themselves or in their partner. Other times it comes from a sense that a particular relationship is fragile. Engagement: Admitting that conflict exists and being willing to take a look at troubling situations, even when this involves taking a risk. One key to effective communication in the midst of conflict is to be "direct and specific," the Whiteheads say. People are direct when they tell the other person what they think and how they feel. Being specific means keeping the focus on the issue at hand and not allowing the discussion to open up to include other questions.

the .same way. Some people basically believe all their money should be spent. Others believe as much as passible should be saved. All along the spectrum between those two extreme points of Heil' are various attitudes on bow much money should be spent, bow much saled. Money for calls communication in marriage. But it takes years for the

communication to lead to anything approaching full understanding. Some people never seem to feel totally that they understand bow their spouse views money. It would be easy to paint a dismal picture of money's role in marriage. It is an area in which husbands and wives must learn to share something that, in many cases, each of them would rectify like to control alone. But I think the real message about money in marriage is that couples need to be alert to its role and its influence. And they should be familiar with its symbolism. Money has a way of making its present — or absence — known at the worst possible times. Its there in the background a big whenever celebration is planned: a birthday, an anniversary. a vacation, Christmas: times when happiness is the real goal It is rirtuaily impossible to get through a big without celebration spending money. In marriage, however, one partner's idea of what big constitutes a celebration may seem quite inadequate to the other People come to marriage with ideas formed from childhood about bow a should be birthday celebrated, what it takes to give a child a real Christmas, or bow a genuine ,vacation is spent. It may take some years for a couple to create their own stylefor celebrations: a style they can both enjoy. and afford Whatever the case, celebrations undoubtedly represent one facet of married life that couples would like to take for granted — but can't.

Other keys to successful handling of day-to-day kinds of conflict include sharing information honestly and openly, exploring alternative solutions to specific problems or seeking outside help and support The Whiteheads observe that couples often find there is more than one solution to a particular problem when they are willing to look for it together Finally, the Whiteheads are convinced the most important benefit of learning to handle conflict is the quality of communication which can result. Couples begin to sense that, even though problem are not magically removed, they will be able in the future to deal with difficulties constructively. They discover that conflict can actually strengthen their marriage by helping them learn more about themselves and each other,

"Alcohol ics Anonymous is full of women who were taught to drink like little daddy by ladies pouring them a sherry f rom the sideboard decanter." Such statements roll lightly off the tongue freelance f or journalist, Liz Byrski, of Wanneroo. After more than a year of research and the release of her book, Behind The Door, Bedroom Family The Alcoholism Disease, she finds the f rightening facts of hang alcoholism heavily in her mind.

"Before I started writing the book I thought I'd never met an alcoholic . . by the time I finished I found that I had known a lot,- she said. As the awful evidence piled up on her desk • more than 250,000 Australians can be classified as alcoholics. • 1.25 million Australians are affected personally or in their family situations by the use of alcohol. • one in every five hospital beds is occupied by someone suffering from the adverse effects of alcohol. • two in every five divorces or separations result from alcohol induced problems. • in 1972-73, the national economy was hit by a $ 500m bill for problems directly related to alcohol. • alcohol is associated with half the serious crime in Australia. • 90% of incest cases occur in families where there is parental alcoholism. It's a horrifying litany that pours forth — of violence, abuse, sexual crime, marriage breakdown and the heart -wrenching human agony of the alcoholic and his or her family. • It's ironic, says Liz Byrski, that we can ban cigarette advertising and put so much effort into 'quit smoking' campaigns when the cost of alcoholism is so much greater. denying no There's smoking is bad for you, but drinking can be so much worse. Perhaps we should be tackling the greatest problem first. "Alcohol is the major drug of abuse in Australia," says Liz, "and it now constitutes

"But I do believe we should stop alcohol advertising and make a concerted effort to public, the educate especially children and teenagers, as to the damage done.For Liz Byrski, the most horrifying discovery of all was that of ignorance, her own and that of society in general about this most socially acceptable of drugs.

' NUOVIA• To most of us, 'alcoholic' means the skid row bum in the dirty raincoat who we cross the street to avoid. That degraded suffering human-being however, represents only four percent of the alcoholics in Australia. The remainder walk on the same side of the street as us and share our disgust for the skid row bum. Alcoholism, says Liz, must be surrounded by more and myths misunderstandings than any other disease. In 1976 the National Council on Alcoholism/ American Medical Society on Alcoholism Committee on Definitions made the following definition: "Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive and potentially is It f atal disease. low by characterised tolerance and physical dependency or pathological organ changes, or both — all the direct or indirect consequences of the alcohol ingested." It must be understood that in speaking of alcoholism,

we are not speaking of the amount of alcohol which is being consumed, or how often," Liz said. "Many alcoholics drink less than habitually heavy drinkers. "An alcoholic here, is any person who is experiencing serious problems in one or more areas of his life because of alcohol misuse. Alcoholics do their drinking in a variety of different ways. some in company, others always alone. Some drink in bouts with plateaux of sobriety and troughs of drunkenness or alcohol abuse. Others maintain a low but of level constant intoxication. Many claim they have no drink problem because they drink only at weekends or never before six in the evening. Whatever the drinking pattern, eventually the effects on the drinker's life will be the same.

'"NU0411#"' Irrespective of what he drinks, how much he drinks, when or where he drinks it, the reality of his illness is that in the end it will affect every area of his life. The alcoholic is a person in pain, frightened, guilty, and sick, but a normal person. Often intelligent, talented and sensitive, he has an allergy to alcohol combined with a compulsion to drink. His illness carries a stigma which makes us turn our backs. The person who develops a harmful dependency on a

dangerous drug which we drink with our meals, serve at our parties and take on our picnics, is judged harshly by society. But the price the alcoholic pays is still not as great as that paid by the family. They become sick too. Alcoholism is a family disease and spouse and need alike children treatment if the alcoholic is to be cured. Every alcoholic has a caretaker, says Liz. It may be a spouse, a parent, a good friend, an understanding boss, a social worker, or any combination of these. These are the people who constantly pick up the pieces of the drinker's crumbling life and attempt to stick them back together. Those who have a close inter -personal relationship with the alcoholic and who perform a caretaking role inevitably forfeit the quality of their own lives. They become enmeshed in the deteriorating pattern of self-deception. Every time someone picks up the pieces, makes an excuse or covers up, they allow the alcoholism to progress a little further. They involve themselves in the illness and shield the dependent from facing the consequences of his or her behaviour. For those closely involved with the drinker, the pain of caretaking is great. Everyone who is drawn into the web of denial and blaming gets hurt, but only in that special relationship behind the bedroom door is the torture of the caretaker quite so intense. The caretaker is a sick needs who person treatment as much as the

dependent. A greater need, says Liz, because the caretaker has a right to a quality of life even if the alcoholic cannot be forced to face reality. The caretaker is the key to successful treatment of alcoholism as a family disease. For women alcoholics, the problem can be even greater because, while society judges male alcoholics harshly, it is even more vitriolic in its condemnation of women. In her book, Liz quotes from the publication Damned Whores and God's Police. The Colonisation of Women in Australia, by Anne Summers, which says: —There always has been, and remains, enormous social disapprobation for drunken women. -Those women who do drink heavily must be secretive about it, and their families will go to inordinate lengths to hide their shame from others."There are, in fact an of enormous number in alcoholics women Australia.

"Often their alcoholism is disguised by doctors who, either through compliance or ignorance diagnose a psychiatric disorder. "It also seems alcoholism in women, especially in young women is increasing rapidly.The woman drinker, says Liz, more than the man, learns deception and denial to a fine art, and to hone her drinking because she is far more vulnerable to the disgust and disapproval of society. A woman — particularly a with married woman children — is playing a more dangerous game with higher stakes, and her situation is more complex, in terms of her feelings about herself and her place in society.

The double standard, which raises the emotional price of drinking for women, ultimately makes the dependent woman infinitely more difficult to identify. The progress of alcohol dependency in a woman is the same as in a man with the exception of the fact it tends to be condensed into a shorter time scale Many drinking women appear to have turned to alcohol as the result of marital problems, divorce, separation, bereavement, a mid-life crisis, or the 'empty nest' syndrome. You can in fact, become an alcoholic at any age, says Liz. "I spoke to one lady of 72 whose husband has been killed in a car accident. "She had never been a drinker, nothing much more than a sherry at Christmas, but before long she was a confirmed alcoholic. When it comes to rehabilitation — the word used in preference to 'cure' — the alcoholic woman has a much tougher battle than her male counterpart.

c,,tk es\WPWc‘ There is a greater chance she will be 'doing it alone,' having been rejected by her husband. Her chances of rehabilitation are greater while her marriage and family remain salvageable, and losing them can greatly diminish her chances of r ecovery. It is an indictment of our society that statistically, most wives stay with an a lcoholic husband; most husbands leave an alcoholic wife.

When a man does present for treatment he is invariably accompanied by a female caretaker. A desperate woman is more likely to appear alone while her caretaking spouse i s still coping with his inability to face the outside world with the truth. It is tragic, says Liz, such a complex subject as alcoholism been has allowed to rest in such a mire of ignorance for so long. It was long believed if the alcoholic could be made to stop drinking, everything would be allright. Too many broken and anguished families proved it was not so simple.

Later, she said, it was understood the dependent's partner was playing a major role in the disease and might also need help. Now studies of alcoholic f amilies have provided unarguable proof this is a disease which affects the whole family. The routes of the children are mapped by the introduction of chemical dependency into the family. Each child according to his personality traits and birth order, plays a specific and identifiable role. The family of an alcoholic is a sick family. If it is to be restored to health, each member must learn to understand his own part in the sickness and face the destructive role he has been playing. Each must learn new coping skills to create an atmosphere in which chemical dependency cannot survive. Treating the family is even more important when one realises children from alcoholic families are a high risk group with a 25 to 50 percent chance of becoming alcoholics or marrying alcoholics, and 50 percent of juvenile delinquents have a parent, or parents with drinking problems. It is to our children we

surely owe the greatest debt, says Liz. Her research has made her keenly aware of how society uses alcohol and how little we educate our children as to its dangers "In many homes it is the centre of everything. "It is always in the fridge, drunk with meals, taken on picnics and brought out for special occasions it is never seen as a drug "We have never had much alcohol in our house, mainly because I didn't have a lot of money to spend and wasn't prepared to spend any that I had on alcohol

"But believe me, from what I have seen, no-one needs to be 'taught to drink' more importantly they need to be taught 'what' they are drinking.

experience they are richer, and mature more complete," she said. "Many of them have a greater serenity for having beaten the problem. "Just being involved as an outsider has changed me drastically. "I have so much more understanding, not just of other people, but of my r elationship with my husband and children. "It has also brought me back to my religion which I had let go of many years before . . it has given me a greater spiritual awareness "I can see now society spends too much time r elieving the symptoms. looking for easy answers We are trying to cure back aches and the common cold but what about wholeness and spirituality as people?" Liz is currently working on another book for the Lions Club, dealing with alcohol and drug addication in teenagers. She hopes to have it finished by the end of the year.

What is causing so much unrest is the law which is not being implemented, W e told the people these a e your legal and written ri hts as a labourer and we wiII help you get legal aid.

If the priest shows he is willing to listen, the peopl will bring their problems to him. As a foreigner in the Philippines it was my obligation to follow the law and to tell others to follow the law.

In spite of what was said by Phillipine representatives in

Canberra, I was not interfering.

• From page 5 He was surprised so many had not been confirmed because they were ashamed to be put in with the children For baptism the couple would present their child to the community Sometimes the community might delay the event if the couple were newly arrived or was not involved in the community Then the community would give the OK for the baptism and they would come to me if they did not want to wait until I cam to them In all the ceremonies the questions are addressed not lust to the sponsors but to the whole community Baptism became a sacrament within the community of believers The people were coming to understand where a community has a little dignity and human respect the sacraments such as confirmation, baptism, marriage and euchanst. Compare this with the town situation where you had the landowner and his workers at the same Mass, but poles apart when it comes to loving one another as we are supposed to do

"More than anything, I feel we have sadly neglected the education of our children. 'We have allowed them to see alcohol as 'safe' and have provided them with a society allowing very few social options which do not involve drinking. 'We are too quick to relieve our anxieties and stresses with chemicals, instead of doing the hard work and looking at the problem. "Our children see us having a drink to "cheer us up' when we are feeling down, to 'give us energy' when we are tired and to 'provide us with Dutch courage' when we are feeling frightened."

VIN,0 Q,41U Behind The Bedroom Door has been printed in conjunction with the Lions Club of Gingin and will be used as part of a public awareness programme. The book is an attempt to increase family awareness of alcoholism as a disease and as a family disease and to offer support and advice for those who need it. For Liz Byrski, writing the book has been an education in more ways than one. The most heartening thing, she says, is the way in which people overcome this most crushing of problems, alone and with the help of their families.

(Youth Forum Questions The YCW looks at the situations that young people face in their everyday lives and spends time reflecting on these and appropriate planning action. Questions and reflections made on our activities ow the years have been — What do I believe about what is happening here?; What do I believe should he happening?; What does the Church say?: What is my understanding of the mind of Christ on these matters?; Do these things alter or deepen my original reaction to these situations?; Why should I get involved? Unemployment is an issue that we all need to face. It's around us everywhere and we cannot close our eyes to it or bury our heads in the sand. People are affected by it and we need to be able to do something for others as Christians. Not just talk about it but ACT towards bringing change, bringing justice to all.

A place for signs and symbols My mother's birthday on September 8 is constant a reminder of our h eavenly M other 's birthday over 30 Anyone remembers the greater fuss that was made about Mary in yesteryear. May October and special were months devoted to her. Statues pictures and seemed to bold e m o r prominence in churches, schools and homes. Weekly not were billed from Church notice hoards and the hallmark of et,ety Catholic was the

carrying of the rosary beads in ones pocket. I can remember the Brothers telling me that if I was knocked over on the roadIwould be recognised as a C.atholic with a pair of beads in my pocket: And that three Hail Mary's would save me from many dangers. too. I t seems that modern educationalists lay little stress today on external signs of tradition such as beads, statues and devotions. and Reverence to devotion mystical religious realities has little

place in our modern world and the drastic in decrease devotion to Mary, 6.:3 young and old just one is symptom of that. Last month I asked 500 jaungpeople if they bad a pair of rosary beads in their pocket. Not one could say they did. Rosary beads remain significant to me because of the c hildhood p ract ice encouraged by both my mother and teachers, of having beads in my pocket. Over the years I must admit that my own pro_yers and fervour to Mary are stronger in times of trouble and tribulation. Perhaps being a Pole has something to do with it too. My mother's deep devotion to Our Lady led her to make a pair of beads out of bread whilst she was imprisoned in a concentration camp during the war. Her devotion is still an inspiration to me ten years after her death. Last month as thirty million Poles

celebrated the festival of Our Lady of Czestochouva, the local Polish c ommunity gathered in Eighth Avenue in Mayiaputs for the opening and blessing of the first WI Polish chapel dedicated to Our Lady

Youth needs The Church must be aware of the needs of different age groups, especially young people. Sister Ruth Egar, of Adelaide's Catholic Youth Team, said this recently at a meeting to consider the ministry and needs of South Australia's young people. Sister Ruth said that after hearing at the previous meeting of the growing interest in youth ministry, people might say: "Isn't that wonderful," and then feel relieved that so much is being done. Others, on hearing of the needs of youth and the challenges facing young people today, might say it is too big a problem for the Church to deal with. But, said Sister Ruth, the Church has to be aware of people's needs. And that applies to more than just the young. She also expressed concern for young Catholics who have fallen away from the Church. "Many of the young people we most need to listen to are already alienated from the Church," Sister Ruth said. "We have to look around to see how many people have no access to the good news." After group discussion during the meeting, council members voiced concern of several aspects of ministry to the young. • That people should not see a false division between youth and adulthood. • That there should be forms of liturgy which appeal to the young. • That Catholic schools should not encourage in the young the notion of competition which is prevalent in our society, especially on the sports field. It was also suggested that youth consultation weekends be held annually. The Record, September 6 — 12, 1984 •

Applecross Christian breakfast Guest speaker at the Applecross Christian Council breakfast meeting last week was Dr John Masarei, of the UWA who recently spent five weeks at Shandong Medical College in China.
