'The brothers must be proud to see men they taught united in a faith to share with others," said the bishop who is a Highgate ex-student. Some 400 men were at the Mass in the school hall. Christian Brothers High School, now the senior campus of St Mark's College, opened in 1936 with 160 pupils. The Brothers took vows to make themselves available for their students to learn science, arts and literature but all this with the added value of the knowledge of God, that lies beyond all things, Bishop Quinn said "We live with a spirit of hope and a sense of values because the Brothers introduced us to God in all aspects of creation," he said. "We look around today and see so many without anything to hope for. "We feel so sorry for those who have no meaning in life

The Australian Catholic Social Welfare Commission is concerned the Federal Government is considering Budget cuts to family allowances. The national director of the commission, Father Kevin Caldwell, said families were already suffering from cuts in the real value of dependents' tax rebates and family allowances due to inflation.
Father Caldwell
"This is especially the case for large families and single income families," he said. The Australian Catholic Social Welfare Commission is the advisory body to the Australian Catholic Bishops on social welfare policy. Reports suggest that Budget cuts would be brought about, in part, by paying family allowances at a flat rate. Father Caldwell said families had also been penalised by recent decisions to abolish concessional expenditure tax

rebates and the family allowance for over 18-
year-old student dependents. ''The average tax burden on ordinary families has been increasing and seems likely to continue increasing," he said. "Those who are making sacrifices investing in
Australia's future its children -deserve tax relief, not disguised tax increases."

"It is a matter of public concern that Federal Cabinet advisers are so shortsighted as not to see the adverse long-term consequences of increas-
ing tax burdens on families." Father Caldwell said increased family breakdowns due to economic pressure would only add further to the nation's welfare bill. "This would cancel any short term saving made by cutting family allowances," he said.
