and factory outlets offer a wide variety of choices to add to your wardrobe without breaking what's left o'f your budget. Certainly, if you've been looking for a coat, this is the month to go hunting, but hunt with care. One very good way to make certain that what you consider a bargain really is, is to browse through the better stores when you have a chance, and look over their merchandise. By "looking over" I mean checking seams, noticing hemlines and also. styles being shown each season. Students Recycle The other day we took a ride to a store that is reported to be "heaven" for the woman who wants to dress well on a limited amount. And while I wasn't as impressed with this store as I have been with others, I did see a suit that I had bought in a very well known Boston store .for one third of the price I paid in September. After that experience, I certainly will shop care-' fully for any item I buy, especially when I know mark-ups are so high. One friend of mine, a sewing teacher, has been helping her students recycle their clothes and she has promised to share
Charges Federal Agency Shirks Responsibility WASHINGTON (NC)-A U. S, Catholic conference official has accused the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of "abandoning its primary respOlisibility" to protect the health of the U. S. people by allowing sale of the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device (IUD.) to resume. The official, Msgr. James T. McHugh, director of the USCC Family Life Division, criticized the Dec. 20 statement by FDA Commissioner Dr. Alexander M. Schmidt announcing the agency's decision to end a six-month moratorium on precription of the Dalkon Shi~ld by physicians. The decision ",indicates that the FDA is attempting to sidestep the regulations for t·he protection of human subjects that AID (the Agency for International Development) and HEW (the Department of Health, Education and Welfare) have developed."
I've mentioned many times in this column that sewing can be a wonderfUl way to save, and while I don't sew enough to have it make any difference in my budget I wish that I did and I truly admire those women who do. To those of us 'who will shop the January sales, be cautious and don't buy just to buy. Remember, it's not a 'bargain if you don't need it. Shopping can be fun, especially after the pressure of Christmas has been lifted, and there is always great joy when you find that very special item you've wanted but felt you couldn't afford and it's on sale,
Essay Contests For Holy Year GREEN BAY (NC)-Four allexpense paid trips to Rome for the Holy Year are the grand "prizes in an essay contest in the' Green Bay diocese, Bishop Aloysius Wycislo of G~een Bay has announced. The trips, to be awarded in four categories-priests, Sisters, and elementary and high school students-is funded through a bequest from a deceased priest who asked the bishop to conduct the contest. The theme for the essays is Evangelization, which was the theme of the recent world Synod of Bishops in Rome. The contest, Bishop Wycislo said, "a.JIows me this opportunity to share ... our common Chdstian concern for implementing our Blessed Lord's admonition to teach and heal as He did." Papers from the clergy and Religous must be 5,000 words in length; those from high school students, 2,500 words; and elementary school plipils, 1,000. In announcing the contest, Bishop Wycislo said, "I trust interest in this contest will involve many in the study of the meso sage of Christ."
Plan Intercollegiate Spo'rts for Women DE PERE (NC)-A fledgling intercollegiate program for wom· en is under way at St. Norbert's College here in Wisconsin. "I think women's athletics is long overdue," commented Mel Nicks, professor of physical education and athletic director at the college. "It's good for girls from many points of view. Girls should have the opportunity to develop skills above and beyond the in tramural or recreational levels, as well as the experien::e of competing on a high skill leveL"

N,eed to R,e-Affirm Ou·r Catholic Id,entity VATICAN CITY (NC)-Archbishop John Quinn of Oklahoma City emphasizing "a new need today tQ, reaffirm our Catholic identity," told the Synod of Bishops that authentic and fruitful ecumenism "demands that we express our beliefs unambiguously." The U. S. archbishop's speech of 400 words was one of the briefest of the entire synod. Speaking during the synod's discussions on the theological problems involved in spreading the Gospel today, the youthful archbishop noted great strides in inter-church" dialogue and in the ecumenical movement, which aims at the restoration of unity among all Christians. However, he also stated: "We certainly have the greatest reverence and regard for the
Bishops Urge Effort Against Euthanasia LONDON ~NC)-The bishops of England and Wales, spying a movement to make euthanasia a part of Britain's laws and ways of life, have issued a statement "about the care and consolation which' are due to those who are nearing death." They distinguished carefully between withdrawing "extraordinary" medical supports from t-he hopelessly ill and the "form of killing" which consists in the "deliberate and direct ending of one's own or another's life."
sincerity and integrity of those with whom we do not enjoy full communion. But authentic and fruitful ecumenism demands that we express our beliefs unambiguously. "Nothing is more harmfurthan false irenicism which waters down religious beliefs and teaching. Both good ecumenism and vital evangelization call us once again to the fullness of Christ's revelation and of the means of salvation and that those who know this and refuse to enter or to remain in the Catholic Church cannot be saved. This truth certainly does not permit indifference about proclaiming fully the
mystery of Christ and of the Church." To avoid "undesirable consequences," the 45-year-old archbishop suggested three approaches: "A clearer doctrinal elaboration which correctly reconciles the two truths: the necessity of the Catholic Church and the ecclesial' reality of other Christian bodies; "Recognition of our own perfectibility as a Church setting aside all prejudices; "The recognition of the grave obligation not to make it more difficult to enter or 00 persevere in the Catholic Church."
