HELP YOUTH SAYS P
VATICAN CITY: The Church cannot remain on the sidelines of United Nations celebrations such as International Youth Year, Pope John Paul says in his Holy Thursday message outlining the attitude priests must have to youth.
Christ rises
"Initiatives such as the Year of the Aged, the Year of the Handicapped are at the heart of the Church's mission which is to be built up and grow as a community of believers," says the pope's traditional message to priests renewing their commitment on or before Holy Thursday. The pope says Jesus' attitude to the rich young man in the gospel must be the inspiration for priests in their approach to youth. He says the young man had easy access to Jesus who was someone to whome the young man could entrust his essential questions and someone from whom he could expect a true response. The priest must be distinguished by an accessibility similar to that of Christ, says the pope.
John Paul II
Discover benevolence
"Young people should discover in him the same openness, benevolence and availability to the problems troubling them.
Easter is the personal liturgy of light bursting through darkness, a personal experience of the waters of baptism, a personal passing through the symbolic waters as the victory given to each person through the Resurrection of Christ. Special Easter reading in Pathways of the Spirit pages 8, 9.
"Even when by temperament youth are a little shy or reserved the priest's attitude should help them to overcome the resistances which derive from that. "The priest's accessibility to young people means not only ease of contact with them but evoke trust as the confidant of their problems and questions of their spiritual life and conscience. "The priest in contact with youth should know how to listen and how to answer" and this should he the fruit of the priest's interior maturity." says Pope John Paul.
The priest has to have a sense of responsibility to the truth to the questioner. In the gospel incident, Jesus had in the young man's eyes, a special credibility and moral authority. "We must not be afraid of demanding much from the young," John Paul said. It can happen that one of them may go away saddened when unable to face some demand. "Sometimes the young must progress through SalVifiC sadness and gradually reach the truth that gives joy. "The young have a certain healthy instinct when it comes to a question of values. The young know that true good cannot be had cheaply. It must cost something."

If the Church was deprived of its security of land tenure under the Land Rights Bill it would have to get out and 100 years of hard work for the betterment of Aborigines would be wasted, says Bishop Jobst of Broome.

Mr Chris Sidoti, the National Secretary of the commission, said, "The proposed WA legislation falls far short of the principles and of the recommendations made by Mr Paul Seaman in his report. "It favours the interests of miners and pastoratists, under the guise of being for the common good, over the possible claims of Aboriginal people." "European settlers in Australia acquired land by occupation and conquest, without moral right and with legal entitlement based upon a fiction. "The only just manner in which recompense can be made is for governments to restore to those Aborigines, who by the custom of their people are so entitled, the full ownership of the land ( including its minerals) which in 1788 was taken in the name of the crown. The implementation of such a policy would be extremely difficult. It may be impossible but this should not deter the governments. Where the land can be restored to the Aborigines to whom it rightly belongs, it should be restored. Where it is impossible, other ways of making recompense for the injury done must be found. "The issue is not one of race, Mr Sidoti said. "It is not one of charity. "It is an issue of justice and the prime responsibility to see justice is done rests with the Federal Government. "It has a particular obligation to ensure State legislation treats Aboriginal people with justice," he added.
"Outsiders frequently manipulate Aborigines for political gain." Bishop Jobst said. Recently a mission office building and radio station were occupied by Aborigines and the priest told to get out. I asked the chairman the reason for his action and he replied officers of the Aboriginal Legal Service and Department of Aboriginal Affairs advised him to do so. Another aboriginal community requested the Church to open a new school where "sisters would teach their kids." The councillors showed me a small block of land which they had cleared and set aside for the Church school and the Lands Department was to arrange for a lease. The Church erected a school and quarters for the sisters for $82,000 in good faith. However, outsiders prevailed on the Aborigines to change their minds to tell me the land was no longer available because it belonged to the Aborigines. "I have reason to fear for the safety and security of nuns and other Church staff in the outback. "If all this happens without the protection of the law, what is going to happen when the Act will legalise confiscation of mission land." "To add insult to injury insinuations were made the Church used unpaid Aboriginal labour.
Land deals Bishop Jobst has listed the current properties, the amount surrendered and still wanted to be retained: BALGO: held solely in trust for -Native Mission Station.Prepared to surrender 804ha of a total of 1209ha, retaining 405ha. BALWINA Native Reserve of 247,000ha was developed by the Church as a cattle station. Valued at $1.2million it was given free of charge in 1984 to Balgo Aboriginal Community. BEAGLE BAY: Purchased by Bishop Gibney in 1901: Prepared to surrender 2759ha, plus 247ha already surrendered, of a total of 4040ha, retaining 1032ha. K ALUMBURU: Crown grant under 1923 Native Missions Act: 209ha already surrendered of a total of 404ha, retaining 138ha plus 265ha in exchange equal to 404ha. CARSON RIVER: station property near Kalumburu developed by Church and transferred to Aboriginal community in 1982. LA GRANGE: Held as a mission station for natives on 99 year lease: 155ha to be retained of a total of 291ha. Adjacent pastoral lease of 202,343ha developed by Church transferred to Bidyadanga Aboriginal community in 1985. LOMBADINA: 1939 Crown grant for an Aboriginal mission station: 43ha already surrendered of a total of 202ha, retaining 159ha.

Catholic Inquiry Centre has a big year A record of more than 5000 people throughout Australia responded last year to the Catholic Inquiry Centre's campaign for new converts.
Converts make 1984 O S' /•'
During 1984, the centre's 25th year, 5183 people througout Australia applied for the 20-week instruction course on the Catholic religion — 5183 people turned to the Catholic Church for a great variety of motives and asked it to speak to them of Christ. This was announced by Father James M. FitzPatrick, OMI, National Director of the Catholic Inquiry Centre. After a seven-year decline to 1977, when only 2098 people took the centre's course, there has been a turn-about since 1978 and a steadily increasing number of inquirers up to the record number last year. "So often all we hear is the had news about the Church — numbers falling, attendance decreasing," said Father FitzPatrick. "While this is true (and often worse than we are prepared to In 1984 the Catholic Enquiry Centre had to admit or face up to) it find $32,507.36 just for posting lessons, their should also be realised report and newsletter, thankyou letters to there is a reverse flow donors, and dispatch of promotional literature, of people expressing and general correspondence. interest, being preThe new postal rates in March this year pared to learn about and join the Church. added a further burden.

One priest full-time and two part-time help these people by responding with individual letters to answer points they raise during their study. At the end of the 20 weeks the correspondents are offered a letter of introduction to a local priest. During 1984 the centre used 171 advertisements in
various newspapers and magazines. "Every time we place an advertisement people reply — many thousands will respond if we could but reach them. "If we could double the advertisements, we could double the number of people doing our course." "I would appeal to all Australian Catholics bishops, priests, religious and laity — to put the direct spread of the Gospel within Australia in its rightful place of pre-eminence. "It is a grace and obligation specially ours. "And we are now at a time singularly propitious to fulfill this mission.

The morning daily, The Advertiser, said in an editorial the animal slaughter could only "shake our confidence that we live in a civilised community safe from the action of lunatics". Archbishop Gleeson said: "I know that, with the majority of the people of this State, and with integrity, shame and distress, I can extend the valuable comment of the editor of The Advertiser

Record Fundamentalists get a bad press because they see things to be too black and white. A discussion that wants to get down to fundamentals is really about clinging obstinately to one's point of view. Be reasonable, says the opposition. No argument is as simple as that. There are many sides to any question. Tell everyone in the audience that it is a complex question and they will never know where you stand. Blind them with subtle distinctions. Nothing over the centuries has attracted the fundamentalist more than those few sketchy pages known as Holy Writ. It's there is black and white, says the fundamentalist as he flips eagerly through the biblical pages. Prove that it's true, says the cynic, the sceptic who wants a bit of room to manoevre, Fundamentalists are a nuisance to any church because each wants to out-fundamental the other. Scriptural fundamentalists went on a rampage during the Protestant Reformation and their battle lines today are still a principle obstacle to church unity. The Catholic Church is not fundamentalist when it comes to the scriptures. The revelation of God is very complex says the Church; so much so that it needs an army of theologians and nothing less than an infallible pope or a general council to sort out what God is revealing to His people. Yet nothing in Christian teaching is more fundamental than the truth of Jesus' Resurrection from the dead. There is not a single eye-witness of the event, not an inkling of what happened. But there, as sure as ink on the paper, are the live characters of the gospel saying: He has risen from the dead! The folly of the Cross is hard enough to take; Jesus says He speaks only in the name of His Father but the cynics won't believe Him or His works. We lament helplessly while He is led out to His crucifixion. But at least the story is credible. Good men are forever persecuted even to death. But no-one ever came back from the dead. The courts can go back over the evidence and declare that there was a miscarriage of justice. The innocent man's reputation can be exonerated, compensation aid to his relatives. But he can never come back from the dead. He has risen from the dead, says that simple fundamentalist getting up from a tavern table just a few miles from where the crucifixion took place. He has risen from the dead, says a hysterical woman still not over the shock of His death. He has risen say a few fishermen shuffling on the shore of the lake one morning. The evidence is so flimsy, hardly worth investigating, it seems. It is not even worth writing down for many years. No contemporary writer thought the incident worth recording. A young man Saul looks on approvingly while a man is stoned to death mumbling that he can see Jesus risen from the dead. What is so fundamental, then, about the Lord's Resurrection? The facts that stand up to watertight investigation? The thousands of pages of written corroborative evidence? Go and ask a believer. He is tongue-tied. He can throw no light on the mystery. "If Jesus is not risen from the dead, then our preaching is useless and your believing it is useless" says Saul a few years later, virtually inviting his audience to get up and walk out if they do not like his fundamentalism. Just in case his listeners have any doubts about black and white St Paul taunts them further: "If our hope in Christ has been for this life only, we are the most unfortunate of all people. And it has not changed one iota after 2000 years. The believers go on believing in the Risen Lord and Paul's fiery words challenge them to test their belief the hard way: to measure up how they look to a cynical world that has no hope. Easter is not a test of the truth of the Resurrection. It is a test of faith. The Resurrection is not proved by the number of witnesses, past or present. The Resurrection is proved by the intensity of faith. Christians are their own worst enemies. They devise happy events like Christmas and Easter and find they have been robbed by the holiday-makers and the long-weekenders who see it as a chance to have a break because the christians are proclaiming their faith. It seems to be a long road back from the baptismal font in the church to the rock that was rolled away from the sepuchre but that is the message of the Church. Go down into that tomb and sense the finality of death and make your choice. If you want to rise with Christ, walk through those baptismal waters. Hold that flickering flame and shout to the world that Jesus is Lord, that He is risen from the dead. Let's stop arguing about the condition of the world. Let's get down to fundamentals: my fundamentals, my life, my death, my faith in the Risen Lord. Good Friday and Easter Sunday are so black and white, so fundamental. 4 The Record, 4 — 10 April, 1985

Record reporter, COLLEEN conOWARD H feature her tinues on the life and times of Father Ray Quirk, the Franciscan Friar who worked as a missionary in New G uinea, and also as an army chaplain.
The dog suddenly stopped barking and disappeared. Moving further into the darkness, Father heard voices and thought an arrow whistled past his ear. He retreated with the young house-boy clinging on to him terrified. Once inside, they passed the night without further incident. The dog returned three days later from whereabouts unknown. Despite entreaties from the people to live with them in their village, he remained alone on his mission post. The majority of Australians never encounter crocodiles, so it was quite fascinating to hear Father recount stories about them. He told of one instance where although invited to spend the night, while on a trip, in a village adjacent to a wide river, Father opted for the river crossing prior to nightfall. The headman of the village wished to accompany Father across the swinging light bridge, the villagers had constructed. It hung close to the water at its lowest point and although normally three feet above, due to the swollen flooded river, it was now only two feet above it. Father grasping the support line across with one hand, clung onto "Lulu", his rifle and bag, with the other, with the headman walking just in front. They moved carefully over the swaying bridge. Then having reached the centre, perilously close to the river and now only just above it, a huge crocodile suddenly appeared, opened its searching, gaping jaws and

snatched the screaming headman from the light bridge, instantly dragging him down underneath the water. ""I was frozen in horrow-, Father Ray said, -and still have nightmares about it. " When I could, I retreated back to the villagers on the shore. 'We searched everywhere for a week, realising the headman would probably be dragged (having been drowned), underneath tree roots, which is typical of the crocodile food storing habit. "Sure enough, a week later when the river had subsided, we found a part of his decomposing body caught underneath an embankment tree root.On another occasion we had to use a raft we'd constructed, to ferry across goods from one side to another. The strategy adopted was to head the raft diagonally across in the swiftly flowing
water and hopefully reach the aimed for point on the opposite river bank. We did this and I hung onto the back of the raft, but unfortunately lost hold of it and was forced to swim in alone. The people on the side I was heading for, suddenly let out warning yells to me.

"How ever did you reach the sick villagers, travelling through the jungle in the middle of the night?: I asked him. "I would often break off a branch which was covered in phosphorous looking fireflies,- father said. "They would give off enough light for say a few feet. which would be of some help in avoiding snakes and following jungle paths. "In one section of my mission however, some villages could only be reached by swimming four wide rivers. "It was nerve wracking," he said. "I had to swim with one arm, the other held above the water holding the sacred host and medical supplies. 'The children could swim so fast they would be across the river and up on the bank, but with my restricted swimming mode, I'd sidekick along and then hear the 'splash! splash! splash!' which I knew to be the crocodiles sliding into the water after me. It was quite terrifying."

It was considered dangerous to camp near a river mouth and one had to avoid river banks; especially if you had someone with you who snored! as they attracted the crocodiles. If however you had no alternative but to stay there for the night, then you would climb a high tree and sleep in the fork of it, for safety. There was not only continuous building to be done and caring for the indigenes physically and spiritually, but father's mandate covering such a vast territory, necessitated reconnaisance treks inland for days on end, to reach other villages. The coastal people were
very fearful of the island folk and would not accompany him on these expeditions One went into these unchartered areas at their own risk Their children (often as many as 15 of them) would insist on going, saying -You go, we gol-
EEO To forbid them was useless because you'd be a couple of days out, and they would suddenly appear! Father and the children would take with them a Mass kit, rifle and the medical box slung between two poles. At night they would pitch camp, constructing a 'hoochie' (a lean-to of branches). Father Ray would shoot for food, be it wild pig, bush turkeys, birds, cassowary or bush rats, build a fire and cook it, supplementing with edible green vegetation. Navigation was done with a compass and the sun, plus war -time maps and walk trails. On one such occasion in 1952, father and the children having visited a Franciscan Dutch Missionary (entailing many days walk to do so), in the then Dutch controlled territory, they headed toward Hollandia on the West Irian side, which was four days walk towards the coast. During the second day they camped at Goya, an oasis in the midst of a virtually unexplored, swampy and inhospitable area. At about 5pm the children suddenly exclaimed: "Pater! Nippin i come!" (Father, the Japanese are coming!). Father Ray then saw eight Japanese servicemen, dressed in tattered uniforms, emerge from the jungle. After bowing low, they inquired in broken English as to whether the Imperial navy had arrived. They were amazed to hear the war had finished seven years before!

When we look for ways in which we might help others to live full and human lives through human development. Human development means the way in which each one of us becomes everything we are capable of becoming. Yet there are millions in our world for whom the development we take for granted is an unattainable dream. Caught in the poverty cycle, they find that they are unable to progress at school and so
Nuns praying in a jungle compound in New Guinea. Father fed them and handed them over to Hollandia authorities, where they were ultimately repatriated back to Japan. As a result of this, Father Ray continued to receive many letters from Japanese mothers, asking could he find their missing menfolk too. The Vanimo mission had come a long way since the fathers arrived in 1946 and now had an established school, in which Father Ray taught. This was very well attended from the young through to the very old. Part of the reason for the adult attendance was the Cargo CO which was manifesting itself at that time. The Cargo Cult basically laid claim any cargo which the
white man received, must have been sent by the indigenes ancestors. The problem remained — how to get some cargo too! (as they considered it rightfully theirs). They noticed no exchange of money took place for receipt of same, but one had to apparently write something on a piece of paper to receive cargo.
Therefore they reasoned if they discovered the "key," e.g. quickly learning English and how to write words on paper, then they would also receive cargo free of charge! In some instances -marching- as the servicemen did,
was thought perhaps to be the secret key to receiving cargo . . so that was emulated too. The Cargo Cult did not remain for very long in that area however, and the children showing scholastic promise were sent on to do higher education at a Franciscan boarding school, where they were trained as native teachers. They in turn taught at local mission primary schools. Some ultimately graduated as doctors, lawyers and administration personnel in government and political spheres.
end up with a low wage, or with none. And so, powerless to build a better future for their children, they must resign themselves to their fate. Or must they? Project Compassion is working right now on projects that will break the vicious cycle. By helping the poor to become selfsufficient, providing advice on health care and education, much progress has already been made. If you would like to playa part in human j, development this Lent, give what you can to Project Compassion.

Letter raises concern . . . from FATHER W. UREN S.J., U. Goody Bioethics Centre. SIR: I read with deep concern the remarkable letter of Mrs M. Cadd (The Record, March 21) in which she impugns the doctrinal orthodoxy of Father Walter Black, MSC, who is one of Australia's most esteemed moral theologians and has also been a frequent consultant during the past 20 years of bishops in Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Mrs Cadd, however, does not specify the area(s) in which Father Black's views are alleged to the heterodox. Nor does she cite specifically the "papal statement, official Vatican pronouncements, and varying bishops' commissions- which, she claims, substantiate this very serious accusation. I regret Mrs Cadd did not choose to invoke these citations at the actual seminar at which Father Black was the guest speaker. He may then have had an opportunity to defend his orthodoxy, and I suspect, would have emerged with his reputation untarnished. The interpretation and status of papal and other official Church statements is, like
biblical criticism, an enterprise upon which even the expert embarks only after careful consideration, especially when the subject is a particular precept of the Natural Law. Father Black is such an expert, and has been recognised as such in Australia and overseas for more than 20 years. Mrs Cadd also suggests Father Black was brought to Perth to reinforce the findings of the Diocesan Bioethics Committee's response to the interim report of the Western Australian In-Vitro Fertilisation Ethics Committee.
However, as the seminar program made abundantly clear, Father Black's visit was sponsored by the Catholic Health Care Association of Western Australia, a body totally distinct from the Diocesan Bioethics Committee. Nor did Father Black make any comment on or even mention, the Diocesan Bioethics Committee's findings. His remarks on this topic
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.
This was well before the Committee's Diocesan response was composed. If Father Black's comments were interpreted by Mrs Cadd as supporting the findings of the Diocesan Committee, this would hardly be surprising, because he too would be conversant with the range of informed theological opinion expressed within the Church on this topic.

W ASHINGTON (NC) — Archbishop John J. O'Connor told a congressional subcommittee spending f ederal funds on weapons while the poor lack housing is "wrong". The archbishop, chairman of the US Catholic Conference Committee of Social Development and World Peace, said t he government must r emain committed to providing low-cost housing. Asked by subcommittee members how the government could afford to do so at a time of high deficits, he answered "it gets awfully difficult just f rom a common-sense v iewpoint to see the enormous amounts of money going into weapons expenditures . . . when there is this desand I'd perate need have to say it's wrong."
Vatican in top ROME (NC) — There were "motives for hope" that relations between the Catholic Church and the Chinese communist government will improve, a top vatican diplomat has said here. "Ihave great confidence things will change," said Archbishop Achille Silvestrini, Secretary of the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church. The council handles relations with governments and is headed by Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, Papel Secretary of State. Archbishop Silvestrini cited three reasons for his hope: • The Chinese government's greater openness to the rest of the world. • The government's understanding the Papacy is one of the most renowned institutions in history. • The government's knowledge that Catholic missionaries were among the first people from the West to approach China and its culture in an appreciative manner. "But China is truly an exceptional and difficult case," the archbishop said. Persecution of Catholics by the government and a "tendency toward schism" by some Chinese Catholics are still major stumbling blocks to

I would remind Mrs Cadd those opinions that have been willing to countenance I.V.F. between husband and wife in the so-called "simple case- have done so only under the very closely defined and restrictive conditions (to which the Diocesan Committee drew attention in considerable detail in its response). If these conditions are not fulfilled, then the strictly limited approval lapses. I am puzzled, however, by what Mrs Cadd means by "the simple case", and her claim it does not exist. As early as April 28, 1981, Professor Carl Wood stated in the Melbourne Age it was for the couple to decide how many embryos should be transferred. I suggest then it is up to the couple to reinstate the "simple case", and for the clinician to respect this request. This was a further point to which the Diocesan Committee drew attention in paragraph 18 of its response. Finally, in the course of this

SIR: The start of the American -Soviet disarmament talks in Geneva has focused public attention, as never before, upon the paramount issue of human survival. Our hopes will be for all those charged with this awesome responsibility: • that they may have the wisdom and humility to put aside the deep fears, suspicions and misunderstandings which now divide them; • that they may work sincerely and effectively to secure the maintenance of peace based on social justice, human dignity and freedom;

responsibility to offer sound and sober public leadership on this subject. In common with all concerned Australians we are determined to strive unremittingly for the maintenance of peace and freedom. But talk and unilateral action are not enough. Indeed, they are very likely to be counterproductive unless backed by effective policy mechanisms and national and international initiatives. There are some who believe Australia might be able to isolate itself from world conflict by shedding any alliances and military installations and by establishing a nuclear-free zone. The concept, however superficially attractive, is tragically wrong. All worthwhile authorities and scientists agree there cannot be a limited and regional nuclear exchange, that any such exchange must escalate to global proportions and that the resultant protracted "nuclear winter" would be cosmic in its destruction of all flora and fauna. The test of any effective policy for peace, therefore, is whether it adds to the prevention of a nuclear outbreak, no matter where the first bombs may be directed. Unilateral disarmament and attempted neutrality are not viable alternatives. They must add to the risks of war.
remarkable letter, Mrs Cadd cites the committee's views on the freezing of embryos_ She omits altogether however, any reference to the committee's explicit and repeated judgement in paragraph 35 of the response. This says the present practice of freezing and thawing embryos, even if these are used exclusively to promote subsequent implantation, is entirely unacceptable from a moral point of view. It is because the present state of the technique constitutes "an irresponsible jeopardising of embryonic life". It would only be if there was a dramatic improvement in the technique that the committee would be willing to reconsider short-term freezing and thawing as an aid to successful embryo transfer (where, as in natural repro-

Until there are genuine prospects of such improvement, the committee firmly and explicitly rejected any embryo freezing even for the short term.

Spirituality from HUGH CUFT, Lesmurdie
Sir, Sr Clare Ahern's (The Record March 20) innocently proclaims a particularly dangerous deception; confusing spirituality with spiritualism. Spirituality is indeed "a way of life", but it most definitely is NOT concerned with "personal experience with the supernatural", which is the preserve of spiritualism, and which is uncompromisingly condemned in the Bible (e.g. 18:9-12; Deuteronomy Ga1.5:16-21).
Spirituality is dependent upon disciplining the body and the soul so that the spirit can commune with, and be governed by, the Holy Spirit of God, and the life of the Christian disciple can show forth the "fruits" of the Holy Spirit: "love, joy, peace," etc. (Ga1.5:22-23) because of the soul's liberation from the slavery of sin (I John 1:9) Spiritualism, on the other hand, is concerned with enslaving the soul to the Satanic "rulers of darkness of this

Persecution of Catholics had lessened since the early days of the communist revolution, he added. Pope John Paul ll wants improved relations with China, the archbishop said. "The pope is aware of the Chinese situation. He has always said the Church sees China as a great nation and a great civilisation," said Archbishop SiIvestrini.

New unity move LONDON: The practice of authority in the Catholic Church needs to be brought nearer to that of the Anglican and Protestant churches, but within the lines of the Second Vatican Council and the principles of Catholic faith, said Cardinal Johannes VVillebrands, head of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.

Since the communist takeover in 1949, the Chinese government has refused to accept any ties to the Holy See. Pope John Paull II has made several efforts to establish contact with Chinese Catholics.

PARIS: The Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has asked the French bishops' conference to prepare a catechism for use throughout France. The action came at about the same time the congregation recommended changes in a controversial children's religious text the bishops had approved.

The request for a new catechism %vas made to the bishops by doctrinal congre gation head Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The letter said the bishops should "prepare a catechism intended for all the territory which will present in a complete manner the doctrine of the faith and which could, in this way, form an unchallenged basic text for catechesis in the nation." The controversy involves differen«, between the congregation and the French bishops regarding the definition of a catechism and what is suitable religious education materials.

A new call from God
Mike was about 29. He had been studying the Catholic faith along with a group of others for seven months. His wife, Nancy, was Catholic and they had just welcomed their second child into the family. Mike had considered joining the church for some time. But this year was somehow different. He sensed a call from God to become part of the Catholic community. Mike was initiated into the church at the Easter Vigil in 1973. A new Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults had been issued by Rome the previous year. hut it had not yet been translated into English. A few days later, I visited Mike and Nancy at home. Mike was nearly ecstatic as he told me how beautiful and powerful the experience had been. "It was a night I'll never forget," he said emphatically. The night marked a significant moment in Mike's journey through life. But he also spoke at length about the liturgical celebration itself What touched Mike deeply were the basic symbols of the Vigil. We had begun outside in the dark, where the new fire was kindled, pushing back the power of the darkness. Then the Easter candle was prepared and lit, reminding us of the triumph of the Light of the World. Processing into church behind the candle, we passed its flame from hand to hand until the darkness in the church gave way to the warm glow of hundreds of flickering lights.

recounted the history of God's action in the world through a series of scripture readings The exuberant singing of the "Glory to God" and the Easter "Alleluia" celebrated the proclamation of the good news of the resurrection. After the homily. Mike and the others were initiated into the church, some through baptism, some through a profession of faith. (In those days before the new Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the confirmation of adults had to await a later day.) Then all joined in celebrating the Easter Mass and sharing the body and blood of the Lord. Mike and the others who entered the church that night became central symbols of the Easter celebration for the rest of us. For the resurrection celebrated at Easter is not just the historical rising of Christ in the first century. The rising of Christ is celebrated here and now in those coming to new life in him. In them the death of sin and the flowering of new life are seen. At the Easter Vigil, new Catholics stand as a vivid reminder to the rest of the congregation of who we are and how we are called to live. All renew baptismal vows at Easter. We are the baptised and that is the basis of our lives For those who have died and risen with Christ, all the world is changed and new. We live by different values, seek different goals. This is what it means to be the church: to live out in our lives the death and resurrection of Jesus. That is why Easter is the greatest and most central of feasts. Whatever day we actually were baptised, Easter is its anniversary.

ies, artists have been fascinated with the life, passion and resurrection of Jesus. At one time religious art was used to instruct the illiterate masses in the truths of their religious heritage. We still use art — whether nativity sets at Christmas or the stained glass in churches or illustrations in Bibles — to teach. Somehow the words of a familiar story take on new life, colour and vibrancy u-ben translated into a painting or sculpture, a stained-glass window or a tapestry. And art speaks powerfully to the spiritual in human beings. It appeals to human senses and stirs human imaginations because it illuminates the essence of an experience. captures elusive elements in life, discovers the divine at work in the human by giving us images we can comprehend and perhaps identify with. A nd viewers get a glimpse into the mind and heart of the artist who struggles with the same universal mysteries and tebo searches for answers to the same questions all confront — life and death, goodness and evil, God and humanity.
The power of water By Father John Castelot Water is not plentiful in Israel. Wells are few and far between, rainfall unpredictable. Modern Israel employs technological expertise to bring the waters of the Lake of Galilee into homes. But in biblical times such technology was unknown. No rain falls from April to October. In the rainy season precipitation can be abundant or minimal. Before the modern era people had to preserve whatever rain did fall in
cisterns for use throughout the dry months. Carefully and with painstaking labor the hillsides were terraced to hold the moisture that ensured good crops. Of course, if the rainfall was meagre, the crops suffered and so did the people. It was a simple matter: no rain, no food — famine and gnawing hunger. No wonder water came to be such a powerful symbol in the culture. Water literally meant life. That is why the symbolism of water — life-giving water — pervades the Church's Easter Vigil, the celebration of life's triumph over death. The account of creation in the first reading of the Easter Vigil tells of God's triumph over the primeval waters, bringing order out of chaos.
Another story of creation, in Genesis 2:4, also was pervaded by water Imagery. It pictured a great river flowing through God's garden and branching out to form the four great rivers known to the author. This headwater issuing into life-giving streams symbolised the superabundance of God's favour to all humanity. The reading from Exodus tells how the Israelites, escaping Egypt, crossed the sea, another instance of control of the waters. For water could be destructive; in the mythology of ancient times it symbolised evil, chaos. When controlled, water was beneficial; when uncontrolled, it could sweep away rather than sustain life. In another Easter Vigil reading the
Lord says, "All you who are thirsty, come to the water." Through the resurrection of Jesus God has conquered death and brought life to humanity, a life surpassing even the wonder of natural life. It was this life Jesus spoke about in his dialogue with the Samaritan woman at the well. When he promised to give her "living water" she became terribly excited. In the ordinary idiom, "living water" meant the fresh running water of a stream. The thought of having such a copious supply of this marvellous liquid running through her yard fired her imagination. But Jesus used the expression "life-giving water" to refer to his teaching and his gift of the Spirit, the vivifying, energising spirit of God himself.

Easter vigil the night Sharing the faith journey fear goes By Father John Gurrieri
'This is the night" — when most Christians lose every fear of the haunting darkness of which childhood never leaves our psyches. "This is the night" — when the ghosts and ghostly visions of sleeplessness are replaced by the joyful wakefulness of expectation. This night is Easter. The expectation is of the Resurrection. "Night truly blessed when 'heaven is wedded to earth . . . 'Most blessed of all nights, 'chosen by God to see Christ 'rising from the dead!" The night is the Easter Vigil. The poetry is from the
Easter Proclamation — the Exultet — sung by the deacon with the joy of an eyewitness of Christ's rising, of the stone before the tomb being thunderously rolled away to make way for the procession of the risen Lord into a world both unbelieving and struck by fear that one who has died a cruel and miserable death now lives, and lives forever. The Easter Vigil celebrates in the most lavish manner possible the central mystery of Christian faith: the saving death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the darkness of night, with no illumination of any kind, the church gathers around a pile of sticks and charcoal. ready to kindle a fire and to light a candle, prepared to proclaim and to move in procession proclaiming. "Christ our light". Perhaps no other liturgical ritual in our Roman Catholic tradition is so powerful as the fire, incense, candle and
candlelit procession of the Easter Vigil. Certainly no other liturgical feast is organised in what appears to be such 1complex structure. For sure, no other liturgical solemnity takes as long as the Easter Vigil! We Roman Catholics, so habituated to brief, sober and simple rites, completely lose our heads liturgically during the Easter Vigil. Why this departure from our usual ritual sobriety? Christ is risen and this is the night on which he rose from the dead. The Easter Vigil is really four liturgies united by one common mystery-. • It is a liturgy of light. The resurrection is proclaimed in every possible sign. symbol or metaphor of light. Our Christian faith is described as "enlightenment" and sin is named darkness. • It is a liturgy of the word.

First pilgrimage
By Katharine Bird The first pilgrimage of reconciliation was held in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1982. In that war-torn land rent by countless antagonisms, Brother Roger Schutz, founder of the Taize ecumenical community in France, "met and prayed with people for ways out of war into peace," said Brother David. Now, each year, brothers from Taize set out on pilgrimages of reconciliation that take them throughout the world. In December a world pilgrimage is scheduled for Madras, India. A US-born Taize member, Brother David, a Catholic, and a confrere, Brother Leonard, a member of the Dutch Reformed Church, spoke about the pilgrimages during an interview in Washington DC.
The contemporary pilgrimages are a way of "accompanying Christ in his pilgrimage through humanity as the crucified and risen Lord," Brother Leonard has said in his book "Listening to People of Hope" (Mowbray). Brother Leonard now lives in New York City. The goal of the pilgrimages, he explained, is to promote unity and cooperation among divided peoples — to become a force for reconciliation among Christians and in the many situations that divide the human family. Pilgrimages are organised by local ecumenicommittees cal of churches that invite the Taize members to join them for the weekend, Brother David explained. "We come as a service to the churches and try to speak to the pastoral situation" in a local communDavid Brother ity, indicated. Always, the brothers "find people struggling to make the earth more human," Brother David said. He is convinced that "wherever there are problems, there are people working out of Christian commitment" to improve the
situation. There is a bond of hope that links these people and that is a bond to build upon. A pilgrimage attracts from 200 to 2000 persons, often with an accent on young adults. And Taize exerts a special fascination for the young. In France, the Taize community hosts retreats each year for 50,000 young adults from the ages of 17 to 30. A key ingredient of a weekend is visiting "people of hope," identified by the local organisers. Often these are people involved in community organisations and ministries to the poor. Typically they are unsung heroes or heroines — like a woman in Charlottesville, Va. Thirty years ago she observed that many people plug away without public recognition to help others. A Sunday artist, she focused her skills on people who came to her attention. The pilgrimage "helps people to recognise themselves as persons of hope too," Brother Leonard continued, Then we try to "link them with others."

This liturgy abounds in signs: the symbol of water, destructive and life-giving; the symbol of oil, soothing and consecratory; the gesture of laying on hands, priestly and confirming in strength. • It is the liturgy of the Eucharist, the sacrificial banquet in which the very death and resurrection are made present to sanctify and renew the assembly. The Easter Vigil is all thi. and more. When the pricst lights the new Easter candle, he expresses the hope that wells up in our hearts: "May the light of Christ. rising in glory, dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds."
DC= The Easter Vigil is our greatest vigil, our highest form of expectation and perhaps the only human expectation we are certain will be fulfilled. It is the celebration of the hope that is never disappointed. When he was still archbishop of Cracow, Poland. Pope John Paul II wrote a collection of poems called "Easter Vigil and Other Poems". In the poem which gives the collection its name, he described a dialogue between a man and God. The two speak of human existence and our mortal bodies, of death and survival Gradually in the poem God brings the dialogue to a point where hope and expectation are reborn in the man's heart: Death is no more, for -we stand in front of our future which closes and opens at the same time . . . the past is the time of birth, not of death." In our Easter Vigil of dialogue with God, we experience the past as our "time of birth," because in the death of Christ there was life; Christ's very death leads to our resurrection as it did to his own. The Easter Vigil dispels the darkness and fear of doors closing in our faces. A door to the past is thrown open, a brilliant light shines through and our vision catches sight of the future.

Ernest (Ern) Frederick Corbett, a resident at the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor at Glendalough, was born at Fremantle on June 6, 1892. He received his education at the Fremantle convent, the Narrogin state school and the old
St Patrick's Boys' School in 1906 when it was located in Pier Street in Perth. He left school to work on the farm of his uncle, Michael Corbett, at Gnowangerup. The property, Telyarup, is now a merino stud.
He worked for 12 months on a sheep and cattle station 75 miles south of Marble Bar, returned to the Gnowangerup area to take up his property and o wn enlisted in the First AIF in the 10th Light Horse R egiment towards the
"I'm going to have a couple of dollars on Rolly Tasker to win the America's Cup in 1987. He's a dark horse at long odds now, but I reckon he can do it. "My doctor told me the other day I'd be there to see it. "It will be a memoryear, 1987, able because it will mark the 100th anniversary of my uncle, James Corbett jun., riding First Prince to victory in the inaugural Perth Cup in 1887. "He was a great fellow who later became the city treasurer of Perth. "I'm going to ask the WA Turf Club to run a special race in his honour on the 100th anniversary." Remarks of a middle-aged man, you might think, with plenty of future in front of him. You'd be wrong. They come from a 93-year old whose exceptional memory recalls with remarkable clarity events of almost nine decades ago. His name is Ernest Corbett ("most people call me Ern, though I was Corbo in the army"). Some slowing-down of movement of the tall slim figure is about the only discernible indication of his great age. A cataract not yet ready for surgery (he fully intends to have the operation) impairs the vision of his left eye, but he reads and sees quite well with the other one. And the mental "marbles" are certainly all there. He recently undertook the task of writing a family history, and he has now become engrossed in the project. The first of his WA forbears, Irishman John Hughes, arrived in the state in 1853 and John's daughter Ann married James Corbett, an Irish carpenter who later became a building contractor Their son, Thomas, was Em 's father. It was James who carted the 120 pounds worth of press and plant through heavy sand from Perth to Subiaco so that the boys in the orphanage there might have a chance to learn the printing trade. The very same gear printed the first issue of The Record in 1874. Ern has also been interested to discover his uncle, Michael Corbett, was president of the Royal Agricultural Society in the early 1920s and founded the merino sheep stud breeder-.. association. But let's get back to Ern himself. When he was learning the livestock business on the sheep and cattle station 75 miles south of Marble Bar, he selected 1000 acres of land near Gnowangerup. He then found he had to live
end of 1915. In Egypt he was detached from the'regiment t o serve as a Lewis gunner in the 18th Company of the Camel Corps and later with the 3rd Brigade Machine Gun Squad attached to his old regiment.
Ern saw plenty of action and names like Beersheba, Khuwelfih, Jaffa, Oman and the Jordan Valley trip off his tongue. At war's end he had two months' leave in England, returned to WA and sold his Gnowangerup farm for 50 pounds

It was an unforgettable eight weeks in England, Scotland and Wales where the soft countryside contrasted so sharply with the harsh Australian ambience and the blistering mid-summer Sinai in which Ern had found himself heretofore. With the aid of the Repatriation Department on their return to WA. Ern and three other Diggers bought the Kooline cattle station on the Asburton River about 140 miles inland from Onslovv. The property covered 450,000 acres and carried 1 200 head of cattle. Em 's partners were his brothers Tom and Arthur and a Gallipoli veteran named W.L. Sanderson who had been an artillery major "He was a very brainy fellow," Ern remembers. "He got a job as secretary of the Pastoralists' Association and pulled out of the partnership "He became state manager of Elder Smiths and later the company's general manager in Australia and a member of the board." The partnership was reduced further when brother Tom married local girl Gertie McCarthy and the couple bought a station near Leonora. Ern and brother Arthur gradually reduced the cattle numbers on the station and replaced them with sheep Ern took time out from this and the other processes of the station to marry Ann McAuliffe at Katanning on March 17, 1932. and bring her back to Kooline which was to be their home for another 15 years. At the Glendalough complex of the Little Sisters, which was the home of both of them until Ann died in late 1983, their family still gathers each year to celebrate their wedding anniversary — which happens to be St Patrick's Day.

Counselling a major For Jan Valentine, of Greenwood the "black rose" was an evil flower refusing to die. Her depression, which followed the birth of her first and only child, lasted three years. It just dragged on and on, she said. It's now three years since she woke one morning and knew the cloud had lifted, the blossom had finally withered and died. "I had times before when I thought I was over it, but this time I just knew," she said. It was the beginning of the end of a time of terrible bleakness, lit briefly from time to time by the flame of hope as she trudged from one psychiatrist to another. It was a false flame quickly extinguished. "I always believed they would cure me but none of them helped me at all," she said. "I think I got far more from a female social worker I talked to than from any of the doctors." It was in 1982 that she read a letter to the editor in the West Australian about postnatal depression. It was written by a woman called Mary Carson, a mother of five who suffered postnatal depression with her third and fifth births. (Mary Carson was the founder of the Postnatal Depression Support Group and sadly died recently of cancer.) Mary Carson was subsequently interviewed by the West Australian and as a result of the story was contacted by many women who had also suffered from depression after delivering their babies. The group grew out of that.'" Jan said. It has never been a very big group, but our aim has been to build up and make available a rescurce of information about the disorder. 'We also try to raise public awareness through open meetings and educational talks to interested groups. "I've done some work talking to nurses about postnatal depression and what to look for." More importantly, said Jan, was the ability to talk to other women who had experienced the same things. "It was so wonderful to know I wasn't alone," she said. 'To know I wasn't crazy and to know there was an end to it — that I would come out on the other side. "Postnatal depression is such a hidden thing because the guilt at even feeling that way when you have just had a healthy, beautifully normal baby, forces you to keep your feelings to yourself." Postnatal depression pays no regard to age or stage. The women who are affected are young and old. The child can be a first or a fifth. In Mary Carson's case, said Jan, she was perfectly alright with her first two and then suffered bad depression with her third. She was alright with her fourth which is even more surprising because the child was born suffering from Down's Syndrome, and then she was hit with it again when she had her fifth. For Jan Valentine the depression was to strike suddenly, without warning.
Doctors help' "I had no history of depression and I couldn't understand what was happening to me," she said. "I was very tearful. I couldn't sleep, everything was such an effort" As the minutes loomed ahead of her like hours and the days stretched out in a gloomy eternity, life became a near impossibility. "I was shattered by the fact I couldn't just shrug it off," she said. "It just went on and on and eventually I came to hate my baby. "I blamed her for it — !guess you do reach a point of having to blame someone. "My husband was very supportive, but all my family were in the eastern states and I felt so very, very alone. "I did confide to one friend about my negative feelings for the baby, but she went and told other people how awful I was, so then I just made out I was over it and didn't tell any of my friends how I felt. "I think mine was one of the longest. 'That's why I have decided not to have more children — I couldn't bear to go through that again and more importantly, I wouldn't put my daughter through it.
"She is six now and I really adore her and we get on well, but I still feel inside myself she has been affected by those years of depression. "How could she not be?" Jan says. While recovery for some is a matter of months, for Jan it was a matter of surviving the years. She believes her eventual recovery was a combination of drug treatment and whatever chemical imbalance there was in her system, righting itself. 'Whatever was causing it just wore out of my system," she said. "I just woke up one day and knew it was alright For others though it can be a very gradual process. 'We do some telephone

J tADSL LOSS counselling and one of the most common questions is; 'Will it ever end." 'The answer is yes, we just don't know when. But it is important to have that answer at least. "I had no-one to turn to and that's why the group is so important. "My husband was very helpful, but of course it is hard for another person to understand. "I think it is difficult for another woman to understand if she hasn't experienced it and so I think it is even more difficult for a man to comprehend. "I got so desperate in the end I got to the stage of suicide. I think what stopped me was that even though it was so hard I was still fighting." The worst thing of all, she says, is when people around you say, "snap out of it". The truth is that you physically can't. "Every woman who has felt this way will say the cruellest thsing of all is wanting to 'snap out of it' when you can't. 'Wanting not to be this way when you have no reason to be so unhappy, you end up blaming yourself and that just compounds the whole thing and creates a vicious circle of depression, guilt, blame and depression." Jan was 29 when her daughter was born. She had met no-one who had suffered from postnatal depression and had heard little about the disorder apart from passing remarks to "baby blues". "It's only in the past few years I have come to realise
The Postnatal Depression Support Group offers the following advice for women suffering from postnatal depression: • Reduce house-keeping commitments • Not worry too much about the baby's welfare • Not worry too much about their own health • Eat properly, take vitamins, rest, exercise, get out of the house • Employ a nappy service and domestic help if they can afford it • Place other pre-school children into child care for a day or two a week • Reduce their idea of what is expected of a mother/housewife. It is important to meet and talk with other people because the more isolated a mother is the longer the depression will last, how common it is," she said. 'The taboo of mental illness and all the expectations associated with childbirth has meant many women just won't admit to their real feelings." It's talking, she says, that sets most on the road to recovery. The sharing of fears and doubts. The ability to laugh with someone who understands about your fears of ending up in a mental hospital, of hurting your children. The latter is one of the most terrifying of symptoms. "Many of the women have such terrible fears and pho-
bias about hurting their children, but I didn't have that," she said. "Mine was a more general depression but I still reached a stage where I thought I would hurt Hayley. "One day I realty thought I would kill her so I just threw her in the car and took her to the Parent Help Centre. 'They were wonderful. "I was so frightened. "I just broke down. "I went into hospital, and they told me a psychiatrist was coming to see me and I thought I was going mad. 'That was terrifying. "I didn't like the first psychiatrist I was sent to but, you
can be so depressed you don't know where to go or what to do I t's a time when getting out of bed requires every bit of energy you have and the effort of picking up a phone is almost impossible
'The lethargy of depression is the worst thing of all. Even the smallest things seem absolutely impossible. Trying to clamber out of the mire and gloom is even harder, she says, when you can't see anything ahead of you but more of the same. Jan was counselled by three male psychiatrists but says she found more benefit talking to female non-professionals. "I think women need women to talk to," she said. "Especially with something like this. "I don't think there is a man alive who can really understand." Men are not brought up with the same expectations, she says, and therefore cannot understand the sense of failure and disappointment. "I was brought up to believe you loved your baby at first sight . . I thought women just loved their babies no matter what," she said. 'The terrible shock was that I didn't. "I had a caesarian delivery and there is a high incidence of postnatal depression following caesarians. "I had decided, when I knew I had to have it, I would stay awake but when the time
came I chickened out of that "I really felt I had failed before I had started" through But for Jan Valentine there is a positive aspect among all the pain.

TENNIS Round three of the Catholic Lawn Tennis Association mixed pennants competition has again produced some very even and keenly fought matches. In the A grade, Queens Park and Lynwood, predicted at the start of the season to be the probable finalists, were both beaten. Queens Park lost to Dianella 6 sets 52 games to 4 sets 50 games and Lynwood were beaten by Pignatelli 5 sets 45 games to 5 sets 43 games. Both matches were only decided in the final two sets of the afternoon. These results have well and truly opened up the competition and at this stage no team could consider themselves assured of a place in the finals. The B grade continues to produce some close matches. In matches played this round Pignatelli II
defeated Queens Park 7 sets 54 games to 5 sets 52 games. Pignatelli III easily accounted for 'Willetton 11 sets 68 games to 1 set 33 games and PignatelliI defeated Dianella but as the score was not phoned through within the allotted time the match was recorded as a draw. Although matches in this competition have been close it now appears the three Pignatelli teams have a slight edge over the others, in player strength, and are likely to fill the first three positions on the premiership ladder. Team are once again reminded the winning team captain must phone the score through to the pennant organiser on 458 5031 before 12 noon Sunday, otherwise the match will be deemed a draw.

Youth is an emotional subject
Young in public eye Not surprisingly, young people figure predominantly in current newspaper stories. We find them in various and often conflicting situations. There is the exhilarating joy and there is the trauma of disappointment as young people receive their tertiary admission examination or university results. An 18-year-old youth who stole T.A.E. papers was told by the magistrate, "You acted out of character because of a combination of a number of stresses involving family members". A youth before the court for robbing a Catholic priest
was said to be a "street kid" although his father was a scientist and his mother a teacher. Headlines present the grim side of youth; "Homeless youth are easy prey", A recent story on youth begins, "Perth has only two street-workers to cope with the problems of inner city child prostitution and youth violence". Sister Bernadine Daly writes to The West Australian concerning the proposal to supply heroin addicts with their drugs to prevent their resorting to crime and says, "In this Year of Youth would it not be more practical to remove the causes of addiction and to prevent the pain and shame so many
The value of the dollar
Parents long for the time when their teenagers appreciate the value of the hard earned dollar. The great personal sacrifices of parents are often taken for granted by young people in our affluent western society. The food, shelter clothes and entertainment is all just there — in the cupboard, in the fridge, or in the lounge room. In wanting to give
their children more than they had themselves, sometimes parents overdo it. I am surprised by the amount of cash that youngsters have in their pockets. On inquiry I find that it is not pocket money earned at a part time job, rather, it has just been given gratis by parents. The tuckshop is an important school facility for lunches, but I wonder
when we were young." Plainly there is a social reality which lies behind the widespread conviction that in the contemporary situation there is a bigger generation gap than in most former generations. There is an identifiable teenage culture, that is a way of life, including speech, dress,
people, especially our youth, have to bear?" Well said, Sister. Young people attract much attention today. They receive a lot of publicity both good and bad. "What do you think of the youth of Australia today?" is a safe opening conversational gambit. Our society is not alone in this. "Youth" is an emotional subject at any time and in any place. This is because the older people in a society find it difficult to be neutral in their feelings about the rising generation, seeing them at successive moments, or even at the same moment, as a threat, a promise, a hope, and a field for care and compassion. Socrates' comment in the fourth century before Christ on his youthful contemporaries had a modern ring. "They have execrable manners, flaunt authority, have no respect for their elders. What kind of awful creatures will they be when they grow up?" Many people believe that in the changed conditions of our time there is more estrangement between the generations than is found in most historical situations. In their eyes the "youth problem" has reached threatening proportions. It finds expression in the common phrase about youth, "I don't know what they are coming to; we weren't like that
entertainment, which is associated more commonly with the young. There are signs that aspects of teenage culture are in fact a form of anticulture, in the sense that they are a conscious rejection of adult values and that young people tend to be different in those areas of behaviour which are important to adults. And that is only to be expected since social
adopt a creative approach. It is an invitation to social partnership in which expectation and respect both figure. A creative approach to youth employment must be part of this. It's message might be summarised, "Come over and help us. We
if anyone gives thought to the values displayed by products that are available. On youth camps the frequent plea from young people is; "Can we go to the shop?" One advantage of our Youth Centre at Gidgegannup is that its 18 kms from a shop. Most young people enjoy shopping for the latest in clothing fashion and find the fast food outlets and bars a popular haunt. All this shows that young people are good spending at money, often not so diligent at making it. Youth movement leaders share some of the frustration of parents when they must plan the annual budget and then with great difficulty find the money to pay fulltimers stipends and other bills. The good things on the youth scene come as a result of the generosity
and sacrifices of many people — not just the young. It's good for us all to be reminded of where the money comes from. At present just over 50 percent of youth funding, comes from a grant from the Chancery office. In turn this grant is found from an annual appeal of the parishes; is still known as the Catholic Action Appeal. It's a levy the chancery makes of individual parishes, according to their relative wealth. Last year the sum was over $ 60,000. Fifty percent is found by the young people them(approx selves, $60,000), through fund raising and personal subscription. Included in this is the annual government grant from the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation. Each year the treasurers of the different Youth movements come
together to draft an application for the government grant and at a later meeting the funds are divided. The movements that employ full time workers get the largest share of the cake. In recent years I have been very impressed with the speed and fairness with which the money is divided and shared. R ecently the Youth A postolate received $ 18,000 from the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation — $ 3000 for Bunbury, $2000 to Geraldton, and $13,000 to Perth. Someone in government must have a soft spot for the country areas, because proportionately they do much better than the metropolitan area. Fund raising this year will be aided by the public Youth Appeal. The '85 Doorimock will take place on Sunday, August '18. Several Catholic
changes, created by technical advances, urbanisation and the breakdown of traditional authorities. are bound to have more effect on the young members of the community, since they are at a formative period of their development. In this Year of Youth it is vital that we see preconceived attitudes as unacceptable from two veiwpoints. First, because every teenager is a unique individual unlike every other teenager. No clinical analysis will ever help us completely understand that teenage person. He or she does not, thank God. fit neatly into any category.
share a destiny together in Australia. We ask you to help us to define and shape that destiny, for as yet we don't know what it is." This leads to two areas of application. The first relates to the nation at federal, state and community levels. Let our governments and councils give a place to youth in the arena of decision-making. Young people are articulate, let them help shape their future.
Secondly, because the teenagers of this country do not form one social group; there are several, marked different attitudes, hopes and expectations. There are urban and rural youngsters. middleclass and working-class; aboriginal. migrant, white. So my first plan is that we accept the precious uniqueness of each young person. valuing that person for all they are and will be. My second plea is that we
dissociate themselves from the church? We need young people actively involved in the life of the church, members of the Council of Elders and the Parish Council, Presbyteries, Synods and Assemblies. The vision, vitality and commitment of youth is urgently needed by the church. Long years ago the wise Paul wrote to the young Timothy; "Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." (I Tomothy 4.12). David Lewis Mr Lewis is the Minister of Claremont Parish. From Western Impact, Uniting Church, March 85.
A lack of jobs
The other area of application is the church. In this Year of Youth let it be known that the church seeks the help of youth. Why is it the majority of young people
Youth Organisations are banding together to take part in the appeal, now in its third year. Last year CPY, YCW, Antioch and Geraldton Catholic Youth took part. International Youth Year should give Catholic youth groups a chance to place their financial needs on a solid foundation. Money is not a popular topic among youth leaders or anyone involved with having to ask or beg for it. But it is necessary to make the youth world go round. I am hoping that by August '85 the majority of our outstanding debt of $20,000 on the Youth Formation Centre, Eagles Nest will be forthcoming. Since the opening of Eagles Nest, 20 people have contributed $ 2000. My sincere thanks to all who have continually supported the Youth Apostolate.
In 19- 5 there were , approximately -38 million people between 15 and 24; by the year 2000 it Ls estimated there will be 1180 million — an Increase of 60 per cent world wide (80 per cent In the Third World). The problems facing this age group are Increasing as fast as its numbers. More than 300 million youths are unable to find jobs. Lack of access to education and high rates of school drop-outs result in widespread illiteracy, particularly among girls. Health care is Inadequate, especially among rural youth. Drug and alcohol addiction, teenage pregnancies and abortions, violence, crime and suicides involve more young people than ever before. In short, far too many are trapped in critical poverty, lacking sufficient food, safe water, proper housing, health care, basic education and access to employment. They are growing up on the edge of survival, without any hope for a decent life, and nothing to enable them to contribute to the development of their community and country. All this seems to Indicate that society is often failing to provide youth with sufficient guidance and opportunity. (Extract from UNrCEF I deas Forum)

Get the eggs ready; either by boiling or blowing them. BOILING Put some eggs in a large pot of cold water. Bring slowly to the boil and lower the heat immediately. Boil for half an hour. The eggs will keep for months. BLOWING Use a sharp hut thick needle — such as a darning needle — to make a hole at each end of the egg. Push the needle inside the egg and stir up the yolk. This makes it easier to blow out. Now blow hard till all the insides are blown out. Wash out the eggshells with hot water and a little vinegar. Be careful of the shell as it is easy to crush. Blown eggs will keep for years and years if you are careful. They can be threaded and hung up or glued onto pictures. DYEING EGGS Use Easter Egg dye. It is available in packets and tablets. It is easy to make up. You usually need to add boiling water and some vinegar. Soak the eggs in the dye — boiled eggs work well in dye because they sink. Blown eggs float. Rub with oil or fat to bring up the colours and make the eggs shiny. WAX AND DYE Drip wax on to the egg to make a pattern. Then soak the waxed egg in the dye. Remove the wax by scraping or with hot water.
hildren's Story Hour The soldiers ledJesus out , to crucify him. On the way they met a man named Simon. They forced him to carry Jesus' cross. They came to a bill called Golgotha which means "skull bill". They tried to give him wine mixed with a drug called myrrh but Jesus would not drink it. Then they crucified him. The soldiers threw dice to decide who should get his clothes. Pilate had a notice of the charge against Jesus written out and fixed to the cross. It said 'Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." The chief priests complained to Pilate. "You should have written 'He said be was King of the Jews:" But Pilate would not change it. There were two robbers crucified the same day, one on each side ofJesus. People passing byjeered atJesus. "You were going to knock the temple down and build it up in three days! Come down from the cross and save yourself!" "We would believe in you if you came down
from the cross!" "He puts his trust in God, seeif God will rescue him." By noon the whole country was covered with darkness which lasted for three hours. At three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "My God, my God, why abandon me?" Some people thought be :vas calling on Elijah. Someone ran up with a sponge soaked in cbeap wine andput it on a long stick He held it up for Jesus to drink. Others said, "Wait, let's see if Elijah will come and bring him down from the cross!" ButJesus cried out loudly and died. The curtain in the temple was ripped from top to bottom. The earth shook and rocks split apart The soldiers guarding Jesus were terrified.

A look at books Compiled by Roslyn Ross.
Revealing a host of hidden treasure Gods, Graves And Scholars, The Story of Archaeology, by C.W. Ceram, published by Penguin, $11.95. Reviewed by Roslyn R oss. This book was first published in 1952 but 33 years have not dimmed the beauty and wonder of this, very special, archaeological "discovery". When C.W. Ceram marched into the museum of archaeology with his feather duster all those years
ago, he was flicking away the dry layer of drabness that had long clung to his profession. Ceram's wonderfully descriptive style is as fresh and enticing as the day it was first written. It brings archaeology alive in a way that can only serve to inspire. Ceram himself says that the book may be condemned by experts as "unscientific," but that is the way he wanted it to be. "Archaeology, he says," comprehended all manner of excitement and achievement. Adventure is coupled with txx)kish toil. Romantic excursions go hand in hand with scholarly self-discipline and moderation. Explorations among the ruins of the remote past have carried curious men all over the face of the earth. Yet this whole qirring history, !discovered, was hopelessly buried in technical publications that, however great their informative value were never written to be read." No science, says Ceram, is

more adventurous than archaeology, if adventure is thought of as a mixture of spirit and deed. It is this spirit which he injects into his book in a bid to provide a hymn of praise to some of the most notable archaeological achievements. He makes the interesting point that some of the most remarkable discoveries have been made by amateur archaeologists, free from the constraints of the formal system. Like the fabled Heinrich Schliemann, an astounding personality, who grew up in a small German village and went on to become trader, entrepreneur, millionaire and the man who found the fabled city of Troy. His was a fairy story; that of a poor boy of seven who dreamed of finding a city,
only the city but also treasure such as the world had not seen since the loot of the conquistadors. Schliemann finished his formal schooling at the age of 14 and signed on as an apprentice in a grocery business. For five years or so he retailed herring, brandy, milk and salt and all but forgot the dreams of his childhood. Then one day a drunken miller's helper came into the store and began reciting verses from Homer's Iliad. Schliemann was entranced. He was also a man with a gift for languages and at the age of 21 learned Russian in six short weeks. He later learned Swedish and Polish but put off learning Greek because he feared the grip of his
relentless childhood dream to find and explore the distant scenes where Homer's heroes had performed their great deeds. It was not until his early 30s that he began his study of modern Greek and mastered it within his usual six weeks; in another three months he had mastered the intricacies of Homeric hexameters. It was his literal interpretation of the Iliad, which tells of the famed battle between Hector and Achilles, outside the city of Troy, that enabled Schliemann to find his spot. Hitherto, many scholars had viewed the Iliad as little more than a fairy tale. Carry-
ing his belief in Homer like a banner before him Schliemann was able to excavate the mound at Hissarlik and find, not one city, but nine. A t the time Schliemann believed that Homer's Troy lay in the second or third layer but before his death, re-examination showed Homer's Troy was more likely to be at level 7A which had been identified with the period between 1200 and 1190BC. But Schliemann's story is just one of many. Ceram tells us of another boy with a dream. Jean-Francois Charnpollion, born in France in 1790, who taught himself to
read by the age of five and was barely seven years old when he first heard the magical name of Egypt which was to become the basis of his life's work Like Schliemann, Champollion had a dream, and his was to decipher the papyrus fragments which had been found in Egypt by Napoleon's army. A brilliant linguist, he was also to see his dream become reality. Ceram takes us on a wonderful journey, through Pompeii, Troy, Mycenae, Crete, Egypt, Nineveh, Babel and South America. . it is an experience not to be missed.
IE0 DAYS Basic reference Familiar story o teaching with a Proclaiming Justice A nd Peace, Documents from John XXIII to John Paul II, edited by Michael Walsh and Brian Davies, published by William Collins in cooperation with The Catholic Fund For O verseas Development, $12.95.
In the 20 years 1963-1983, the moral dilemmas and appalling choices facing our world have multiplied. The Popes, and other leaders of the Catholic Church have proclaimed the Christian perspective on the issues, responding to the signs of the times in the light of the Gospel and within the tradition of the social teaching of the Church. This book is an up-to-date, comprehensive collet/ion of the major statements of the Catholic Church on these justice and peace issues. Michael Walsh, co-editor, provides a succinct and perceptive general introduction, which situates these statements within the
PATRICIA WENS Xttt 14A4 F
historical context in which they were written, and traces the development of papal thinking on the major issues of our time. These statements face the issues of North-South confrontation; the world of work and economic choices; social and political justice; the search for peace; etc. Well-indexed. The texts have been edited to read well and easily. Brief notes
are provided where necessary and the preface is by Cardinal G. Basil Hume. This book is a basic reference work to the teaching of the Catholic Church on these issues; for local study groups and work group; Church students at all levels will find this collection indispensible and it will be useful for journalists, and others looking for a reliable reference book on this subject.
Ship Of Gold, by James Leasor, published by William Collins, Reviewed by Roslyn Ross. I knew from the first sentence that this wasn't' my kind of book: 'The shattered house stood suppurating in the shimmering African sun." Suppurating! Really, such heavy-handed imagery leaves the reader quite

roots and stems, you may even see a wisp of smoke from a small chimney, or through an open door, a steep flight of stairs deep within the trunk of a tree. For this is the home of the mice of Brambly Hedge." As the themes for her first four books, talented artist and storyteller Jill Barldem took the seasons of the year and created the delicately coloured, finely detailed and quite adorable drawings to illustrate her enchanting tales. First published in 1980, the books became instant classics (they are now in their fourteenth impression). Millions of young readers and their mothers fell under the spell of such characters as Wilfred Toadflax; Lord and Lady Woodmouse who
live in Oak Palace with their small daughter Primrose; Dusty Dogwood who's in charge of the flour mill and his lovely young bride Poppy Eyebright. And now we have the Brambly Hedge Pattern Book. Toy designer Susan Dolman has produced five easy-to-follow sets of instructions for five of the best-known Brambly Hedge characters — Mrs Apple, Poppy Eyebright and Dustry, Primrose and Wilfred. Faithful in spirit and detail. these patterns allow the Brambly Hedge enthusiast to perfectly recreate the little mice in three-dimensional form. The results arc irresistible and because of the genuine simplicity of the instructions, any-me can do it.

For the objecives of the Commonwealth's new eightyear general recurrent grants scheme for non -government schools to be realised, provision for the development of new non -government schools must be consistent with the principles of the funding scheme. The achievement of the Government's objectives for improved recurrent resource standards requires agreements that the additional Commonwealth funds and funds from State and private sources, be directed towards resource improvements in existing schools.
