Social Honors BISHOP CONNOLLY

"We have recourse to public ~:,~ Silver JubOlee opinion, which in this emergency' .. becomes the expression of mankind's moral conscience. And we all know how great can be its power for good. We have our individual, personal duty to be good. That does not mean to be weak, but to be able to break the sad, logical chain of evil by patience and forgiveness. It means to love, that is, to be Christians."

The Pope also said Christians have "another resource," that of Vol. 14, No.2, Jon. 8, 1970 faith joined to prayer.

Price 10c $4.00 per Year "Prayer made with faith will never be disappointed." he said.

Pope Paul ended his address with this prayer confessing mankind's guilt and pleading for peace.

Survey Shows 1969 Good, Year For Aid to Nonpublic Sch~o~s WASHINGTON (NC)-The $un shone brightly on backers of state aid for nonpublic schools for the most part in 1969, despite the appearance of an occasional threatening cloud.

Supporters of nonpublic school aid won major legislative victories in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Ohio and moved to within scoring distance in several other states as well.

They also witnessed the upholding of pioneer school aid legislation in Pennsylvania, , where a federal panel dismissed a suit challenging the constitutionality of a 1968 state law which will provide nearly $10 million in state aid to nonpublic schools next year.

Catholic and public school of· ficials in Philadelphia and New York State issued joint' statements pledging to work together to secure government and other sources of financial assistance to both private and public schools.

If nonpublic school officials had cause to rejoice in these developments, their enthusiasm was somewhat tempered by the new stratagem unveiled by op-

ponents of nonpublic school aid.

This was the charge that publie assistance should be denied nonpublic schools on the grounds that such aid promotes de facto segregation which is. said to exTum to Page EIghteen

"Another reason is that peace has its active source in ideas, in minds, in moral attitudes even more than in outward action."

He pointed to the role of a revenge-oriented notion of justice in preparing the way for war.

He continued: "We must place at the foundation of our social psychology a hunger and thirst for justice, together with that seeking for peace which merits for us the title of children of God. It is no Utopia, it is progress . . .

The success of tomorrow night's ,social will be of particular benefit to the newest Nazareth school 'in the Greater Attleboro area. The school currently is housed in temporary quarters while a new building is being constructed on the grounds of Bishop Feehan High school. All three Nazareth schools are staffed by the Sisters of Mercy.

At a meeting attended by nearly 100 per cent of par.ents of children attending St. John Baptist' School, New Bedford, it was overwhelmingly decided to keep the school open, even in face of a projected $18,000 deficit in running expenses for the current acaof parents from St. John's, demic year. "Before the, tee" St. Mary's, South Dartmouth, meeting I was frustrated," and St. Lawrence, New Bedford, :;aid Sister Mary Eva, R.S.M., held several meetings, said Sisprincipal. "Now I am optimistic that the school will be able to continue; provided we lose nQ more Sisters from the faculty."

At present, the school has 'a staff of five Sisters of Mercy and five lay people to serve its 355 children.

The Monday night meeting was addressed by' Rev. Patrick O'Neill, Diocesan superintendent of schools, who sketched the overall dilemma of' Diocesan schools for the parents attending.

'.: SANTl-i.- CLARA (NC) - Lay theologian William .l':J. Flanagan may be known some day' as "The Liberator" of Santa Clara.

County - at least among the Catholic clergy. .

His Marri!lge Preparation Center (MPC) has already freed many parish priests from much ted}ous paperwork and has given engaged couples a thorough look at their new vocation. . Moreover, it has brought joy to a surprisingly' large number of. invalidly married couples whose unions were legitimized thr:ough the center's efforts. , Flanagan, a 46-year,0Id for· mer Army Air Corps flight engineer, says that seeing these persons return to the sacraments after many years has been one of his 'chief rewards.

Flanagan, a graduate of the institute of lay, theology at the University of San' Francisco, began the MPC in October, 1968.

Its. services range from a lofty presentation of "The Place of Christianity in Your Marriage" to the painstaking business of tracing missing baptismal records.

It also aims at "preparing well' the couple for 'marriage within the limited time avaliable while complying with the regulations of the (San Francisco) archdiocese."

On Personal Basis During its first year the center handled over 300 referrals,' most of them mixed marriages. Most were new marriages.

Prospective marriage couples are referred to the MPC from any of 10 parishes in the San Jose·Campbell-Milpitas area. To th~ center they bring the reqUIred records, such as baptismal and Confirmation certificates. Witnesses for the bride

and bridegroom complete the necessary forms.

As an ecclesiastical notary, Flanagan is approved to take dispositions and record statements and promises of the marriage partners and witnesses. He set up the MPC as a service bureau aiming for efficiency by cutting down time. ~'If there's work to be done, we do it," he said.

"It has been tremendous for liS," . said. Father William O'Keeffe of St. Lucy's Church, Campbell. . "It gives us time to know the couple on a personal, not secretarial basis."

Nearly 100 'members of St. Mark's parish, Attleboro Falls, are preparing for active involvement in one of four areas of, parish service, following. a cam· paign entitled Project D.O., Opportunity if We Do." The four week campaign, climaxed l>y special Masses and a parish coffee hour, was aimed at involving parishioners in such activities as aiding St. Mark's School of Religion, or working in ecumenical projects, adult ed· ucation or "support services," such as transporting children to CCD classes.

Next Week Those volunteering to aid ·the program will swing into action next week, said Rev. ,Joseph L. Powers, pastor. Directing Project D.O. were AI~ert Hurlbrink and Peter McCretton.

New Year Brings Added Efforts Against Cim'e in Washington WASHINGTON (NC)Stepped-up efforts in the fight against crime in the national capital are expected to be in the forefront of activities, federal and municipal, in the new year.

These efforts will receive close attention throughout the nation.

Congress will be working on anti-crime bills for Washington, including' those suggested by the Nixon administration. The Metropolitan Police Department. pursuing a new "discriminatory" personnel policy, is hopeful it can recruit enough men to fill its authorized complement of 4,625 policemen by June. The present strength of the District police force is about 3,900.

In fact. the wheels already have started to move on Capitol Hill. This has been revealed by the complaint of the Department of Justice that the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia had revised too greatly the administration's bill on revision of court action involving juveniles.

Time Limits The administration's bill would try under adult rules any person 16 years of age or older charged with a violent crime.

The committee would try a 16year-old as an adult only where the youth had been involved in a previous serious crime. ,The department feels, too, that the committee's trying to impose too strict time limits in the trial of juvenile defendants. The committee would require any juvenile held in custody receive a hearing in 24 hours and a trial within 15 days.

A Justice Department Spokesman asserted that the committee bill "fails to protect 'society from the alarming increase in the commission of violent felonies by older, sophisticated juveniles."

Personnel Policy Meanwhile, the police department's new personnel policy, called "discriminatory" only because it is emphasizing the recruitment of new members from the inner city, is showing some hopeful signs, officials feel.

Heretofore, the police department has been striving to recruit members all along the eastern seabord.

Now it is making a strong effort to get new members from among local residents. The racial make-up of the Washington police force is about 30 per cent

A'sks 1970's Become Decade of Remedy BOSTON (NC)-The dawning 1970 decade "must be a time when nations will turn outlays for weapons into outlays for food, education, medicine, economic development - the vital ingredients for a viable peace," Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston declared.

"During the 70s, to dream will not be enough. Our dreams must be made real. The 60s was a decade of discovery. The 70s must be a decade of remedy," he said in a New Year statement.

"We discovered that it is no longer valid to view war as "a continuation of politics by other means." We discovered that peace is an idea whose time has come. The hour is now for us to identify with' the sentiments voiced by the Prophet Isaiah: 'they shall turn their swords into plough-shares, and their spears into sickles. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shnll they Icarn war any morc.' "

black and 70 per cent white, almost the reverse of the proportions in the city's population.

In the fiscal year 1969, black appointees were 43 per cent of the 1,003 new policemen, while in the four calendar months ending with November, 54 per cent of the 466 new, recruits were black.

This is the first time in the city's history that blacks have outnumbered whites in new additions to the police force. ,

Ecumenical Service Marks Inauguration DETROIT (NC) - An unusual ecumenical service was held in an inner-City Catholic church in conjunction with the inauguration ceremonies of Mayor Roman S. Gribbs of Detroit.

Leaders of major religious faiths took part in the service, which was described as the first of its kind held in a mayor's inauguration in this city. The service was held in St. Mary's church.

Among the chief participants in the service were Father Joseph Gribbs, a veteran Maryknoll missioner in Latin America and brother of the mayor; the Rev, W.H. Crenshaw, president. Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance;" Dr. Robert L. Kincheloe, executive director, Metropolitan Detroit Council of Churches; Rabbi Richard C. Hertz of Temple Beth-EI; Father Thomas Rufin, president, Detroit Council of Eastern Orthodox Churches, and Sister Martitia of Christ the King parish, only woman participant in the service.

Quigley Appointed To PAVLAP'ost WASHINGTON (NC)-Thomas Quigley, 39, veteran in the lay volunteer movement work, took office as executive secretary of the Papal Volunteers for Latin America (PAVLA).

Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, U. S. Catholic Conference general secretary, said Quigley takes over the duties formerly performed by Father Raymond A. Kevane, who resigned as PAVLA national director last August and returned to the Sioux City, Iowa, diocese.

Quigley has been director of the USCC foreign visitors division since 1963. PAVLA, which recruits, trains and assigns North American lay volunteers to mission service in Latin Americll, is part 'of the USCC Latin America d'ivision, directed

by Father Louis M. Colonnese.

Long Suffering Mexican-Americans Maintain Belief In American Dream SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Despite centuries of injustice, MexicanAmericans maintain a stubborn belief in the American dream.

They have, however, come to realize that trac;litional passivity in the face of intolerance must give way to united self-assertion.

In this process, many are proudly accepting their "brownhood."

Dr. Jorge Lara-Braud, director of the, Hispanic-~merican Insti- , tute in Austin, cited the emer~ence of what he called America's , second - largest minority group in a talk at Trinity University. Dr. Lara-Braud, who was born in Mexico but came to ,the U.S. 20 'years ago, spoke on "The Mexican-American's Quest for SoCial Justice."

Stating that he had no license to be an advocate for MexicanAmericans-"and indeed there are some who wish I were not their advocate"-Dr. Lara-Braud said: "I confess that those whom I represent sometimes are much farther ahead -than my representation on their behalf. This is frustrating, and it only reminds me of how really modest my efforts can be."

The 'important thing, he declared, "is that this long suffering minority, traditionally gentle and courteous, has lately developed an acute case of skepticism in utilizing the traditional means of redress."

"It is amazing to me that this skepticism was not shown earlier," he said, "for the Mexi-

More AggressIve "It is now apparent," he said, "that the institutions of our society-having seldom responded with affirmative action as a result of gentle persuasion-:-are, in every', phase, going to have to be opposed by more. aggressive types of confrontations and frankly, it is up to institutional society to determine the style of confrontations."

Dr. Lara-Braud said the process of radicalization" becomeS increasingly disturbing" for "those of us committed, to reason." But, he added, "seen against the backdrop of this present national mood-particularly the mood of minoritiesradicalization also becomes a necessary adjustment for the advocates in goals to be fulfilled and justice to be upheld."

In view of this, he said, "the advocates must realize the seriousness of the situation "if for no other reason than to try to set in motion corrective measures through spirited dialogue rather than angry collision."

Troops Asked Latin Chant at Masses SAIGON (NC) - Sounds of Gregorian chant drifted ou~of two Army chapels in Vietnam at Christmastime. The men wanted the old-style Mass' with parts sung in Latin and they got it. ' Father (Lt. Col.) Edward J. Flatley, chaplain to a unit at Pleiku, said the request surprised him. Most' of his congregation is in the 19-21 age bracket. At Long Binh post near here, Father Maj. Alcuin Greenburg, O.S.B., had his choir practicing for a month after they made their request.

But here, in Saigon a Midnight Christmas Mass that was filmed by a TV network had folk ~ing颅 ing with guitars. Father (Capt.)

Donald Brosmer of Evansville, Ind. offered the Mass for the Fourth Transportation Command. A military Mass at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral here had brass and tympani accompaniment.

The church has been, using an overhead projector to flash the theme, ,text and, words to songs on the upper part of the sanctuary w,all. " , "The V91ume of the parishioners' singing and pr:aying at Sunday Mass' is twice as loud since we started," Father Leo Kapphahn, pastor, has observed.

He said the projector has been used since October at the Sunday "Young' Americans" Mass "because songs used were always new, and,instead of parish,ioners looking down to sing, they could raise their heads."

The' projector idea has worked out so well that it is now used at all S~nday Masses.

Columbian Ordinary Sees Social Gains BOGOTA (NC) - The Bishop who foun'ded the Golconda social reform movement has claimed that persecution of priests in the group will not necessarily push them into joining guerrilla bands, as was the case of, Father Camilo Torres, killed in 1966.

Bishop Gerardo Valencia Cano, who heads the independent prelature of, Buenaventura, says he had 'not路 sought the 路release of four of the' Golconda priests from house arrest because he feels "t~at their imprisonment will bring about greater fruits."

He was commenting on the arrest and detention of four militant Golconda' priests at Medellin: Father Rene Garcia and Luis Currea of Bogota. Manuel Alzate c5f Cali and Vicente Mejia of Medellin., They were released after 30 days of house arrest.

Fathers Garcia, Currea and AIzate were later removed from their parish posts.

Bishop Valencia called the arrests and' imprisonment "vHlainous manhandling and unjust."

SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - A committee of the San Francisco archdiocesan Priests' Senate' has recommended that Father Eugene J. Boyle be allowed to continue his controversial social action seminar for seminarians of St. Patrick's College. but that the program not be held at Sacred Heart parish.

The committee also called for "consultation and discussion of the philosophy. aims and methods of that program," with Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken, Father Boyle and the college faculty parti<;ipating, "so that the archbishop may give his approval to what is done."

The recommendations climaxed a "thorough and impar,tial review" which the Priests' Senate's reserved affairs committee had made of the cancellationof the seminar. Archbishop McGucken had already endorsed the action of the senate in undertaking the review.

Archbishop McGucken's can· 'cellation of the seminar had drawn strong criticism from the executive board of of the San Francisco Priests' Association and assorted lay groups. .Father Boyle is professor of soCial. ethics at St. Patrick's Semi!'1ary, director of· the archdiocesan social, justice' commissio'n 'and pastor o(Sacred Heart parish. His work with minority groups and his association with members of the Black Panther militant Negro organization have stirred considerable local controversy, but the precise reasons for the cancellation of the seminar were never made clear.

At one point in the controversy, Archbishop McGucken did say he objected to the students commuting from Mountain View, where t,he seminary is located; to'San Francisco, .Ii dis: tance of 35 miles. Several'semi· narians had dropped out of the program.

Lecturers Revolt Against Bishops' Ban in Irel.and

Students Form Parish Council

DUBLIN (NC)-The Irish Bishops are being confronted with a massive revolt by university lecturers - the

SAULtE STE. MARIE (NC)Catholic students at Lake Superior State College here in Michigan have formed their own parish council, encouraged by their Newman chaplain, Father James Menapace.

majority of them Catholic - because of tl)e Bishops' ban on attendance by Catholic students at Trinity College here in Dublin.

The 'lecturers, all members of the Irish Federation of University Teachers, made their views plain in a 14-page statement that categorically described the ban as "an anachronism" and "a reo flection of the fears and suspicions of the past rather than of contemporary realities."

Final Arbiter The original ban was imposed by the Synod of Maynooth (the forerunner of the present na· tional bishops' conference) in 1875, and repeated at various stages right up to the synod of 1956, which forbade "Catholic youth" to attend Trinity College and noted that only the Archbishop of Dublin is competent to decide the conditions on which dispensations can be granted.

Trinity College was founded

by Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1591, originally as a univer· sity closely connected with the Anglican Church. All religious tests in the col!ege, however" were finally removed in 1873.

Since then the college has been playing an increasingly 'vital part in the life of the nation. Today, it has an estimated 1,400 Catholic students, many of whom have not bothered to seek the necessary permission.

Father Menapace hopes the "parish for students" idea will ready the students for involvement in parish affairs after college.

"Students are asking to be freer," he said. "They want more responsibilities. So we decided to adapt to what they'll face ,when they get out of school."

The old concept of Newman Clubs "is slowly disappearin~," hI; said. "People enjoy getting together, but not in the old ways."

Yugoslav President To Visit P'ope Paul

;

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI will probably receive a visit this Spring from Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, whose communist regime imprisoned the late Aloysius Cardinal Stepinac and ,hundreds of other churchmen.

1I1formed sources expect Tito to visit the Pope during a state visit to Rome. Italian President Giuseppe Saragat, during his state visit to Yugoslavia last Autumn, invited the Yugoslav president to visit him in the Italian capital. The ~ate of Tito's visit has not been officially announced, but the sources say he will almost certainly come in the Spring.

The stated policy of the' Holy See is that the Pope does not refuse to receive any official personage who asks to see him.

Utter Freedom A noted civil-liberties lawyer and a long-time opponent of censorship, Morris Ernst, has declared' that he would not choose "to live in a society without limits to freedom." , He said, "I deeply resent the idea that the lowest common denominator, the most taw,dry magazine, pandering for profit, to use the Supreme court word, should be able to compete in the marketplace with no restraint." He called' the present "display of sex .and sadism both on the streets and on the stage as cheap."

He has indicated that the big problem is where to draw the line but said that a line should be drawn.

This is an impressive attitude coming from the man who has championed many literary works against censorship. ' Mr. Ernst said that in every one of his cases argued in court he has made it clear to the judge that "I would hate to live in a world with utter freedom" and by "utter freedom" he explained that he meant loose moral behavior standards concerning sex on stage and on the street.

This attitude of Mr. Ernst is a far cry from the fare that is being dished up in many a stage and screen production now. The attitude of many now is to see just how far they can go and the results are disgusting and offensive to both tastes and morals. Perversion and violence and sex are being depicted in such minute and clinical, detail that it takes a strong stomach simply to peruse the ads for these presentations.

Such "utter freedom"-as Mr. Ernst calls it-is indeed a distasteful world.

S@lution The Holy See supported' the 1947 U. N. resolution and since that time has repeated its support for the internationalization of Jerusalem in numerous papal pronouncements, including three encyclicals of Pope Pius XII. In 1967, Pope Paul VI reiterated this position in a talk to the college of cardinals.

The proposal for the interna· tionalization of Jerusalem is broader in scope than the, solution suggested by Bishop Collin.

Bishop Collin maintained that the United Nations, despite its defects, is the only organization, with sufficient authority and prestige to apply and guarantee a solution to the problem of the Holy Places, ' ' He suggested that the UN set up a commission of jurists and others familiar with the problems of the Middle East and the Holy Places to consult all the interested parties in order to propose a solution that will be acceptable and therefore realizable.

Prelates Deplore Marked Decline In Family Life SAN JUAN (NC) -

Sets Retirement Plan for Priests

The

Catholic bishops of Puerto Rico in a joint statement deplored the marked decline in Christian family life, rapid growth of immorality, continued unemployment especially among the young and the growing crisis within the Church.

In the statement issued after their general meeting, the bish· ops announced a synod will be held in 1970 in which bishops, clergy, Religious and laity will participate. The statement stressed that a preparatory period will proceed the synod which will strive to cope with problems facing the Church throughout the island.

Enumerating the problems engulfing Christian family life, the bishops pointed up the decline in marriages and the growing number of illegitimate births the increases in divorces and desertions; "sexual disorders born of a false notion of masculinity; accentuation' of hedonism and eroticism as a result of an asphixiating propaganda sponsored bv tnagazines, publications of all t!pes and some social communicl1tions media."

Th~ statement said the bishops "feel it is of utmost importance to solve the problem of 65,000 youths under 25 years of age who are unemploved and do not go to any school." The bishops also noted there is a disproportion between salaries and the real conditions facing the family, plus serious housing probh'ms.

Population Problems .

H

.

The statement, issued by Archbishop Luis Aponte of San Juan. chairman of the Puerto Rican bishops conference, alluded to the population growth problem in the island, but took no position on a government renort advocating an islandwide $7-miIlion birth-control program to be carried on among 200,000 women.

The report has been praised bv Gov. Luis A. Ferre, who said measures will be taken to implement the program at the earliest possible time and predicted it will respect all religious beliefs.

Episcopal Bishop Francisco Reus Freylan and other Protestant leaders have issued statements supporting the report.

Archbishop Aponte indicated at a press conference that the Catholic bishops will issue a separate statement on the report, probably sometime in January.

India Diocese Loses Foreign F'ersonnel PALAI (NC)-An Indian bishop said here that his diocese has lest "almost all" its foreign p,ersonnel as a result of government moves against missionaries. . Only three priests and one Brother remain. Bishop Joseph Mittathani of Tezpur told NC News Service here.

The bishop said the four have not yet received orders to leave the country, but added that' he does not know what is going to happen to them. Bishop Mittathani was consecrated only three months ago to succeed Italianborn Bishop Orestees Marengo.

COLUMBUS (NC)-Retirement for priests 70 years old, or over, has become mandatory in the Columbus diocese.

Father Patrick Sorohan, chancellor, said the mandatory retirement age went into effect Jan. I, along with a' pension plan.

Father Sorohan said some half-dozen priests - pastors and chaplains - over 70 will retire this year. However, he added, sbme men reaching the mandatory retirement age will prob· ably not leave until after the ordination of new priests in June.

The retirement plan will provide a priest with a monthly pension of $360, plus social security benefits. Priests with 30 years of service may retire at the age of 60, with a reduced pension. .

A bishop's committee studying the retirement plan for two years established the mandatory retirement ago.

~niversity Ombudsman Discusses Role 'Defender of Students' Rights' at Detroit DETROIT (NC) - The student government at the University of Detroit recently named Fred W. Shadrick, dean of student affairs, to act as ombudsman to help solve the student's problems. They defined the ombudsman they wanted as a "defender of student rights, the conscience of the campus, and a kind of door in a stone wall."

Today there arc ombudsmen on about 40 college and university campuses throughout the United States. But at the University of Detroit the ombudsman is a man who ordinarily would be regarded as the capstone in the administration's stone wall.

However, Shadrick changes offices when he puts on his ombudsman's hat, moving from his dean's quarters on the second floor in the, administration build" ing to the student union. Th~'ile he listens to ideas, talk and complaints 'about 811y facet of the" university faculty, administration, other students, physical plant or whatever.

Looking back over his first 45 days in the work, Shadrick named three points which he believes are essential for a successful ombudsman: Have an office that is easily accessible to all.

Be effective in being able to get answers to questions.

Have the confidence of the university community.

"I wOlild estimate that 1 have been 90 ,per· cent effective in solving the problems brought in," Shadrick said. '~The 10 per cent that went unsolved usually involved money. It seems that problems between individuals have been made easier to solve."

Know System Asked if his position as dean of students affairs helped or hindered him in his new role as ombudsman, Shadrick quickly replied: ,The dean's position has been a help. No doubt about it. To be an effective ombudsman, you've got to know the 'system'; and as dean of students affairs, I'm supposed to ~te

Avers Bargai:n Basement .Buys Not W,orth Effo,rt

9

By Marilyn Roderick

For many years I've heard about the marvelous bargains that can be had if one only has the perseverance, energy, and sharp ,elbows needed to shop that world renowned bargain basement in nearby Boston. Reportedly· such a unique enterprise be bargains, the come ons that that tourist guides list it as would bring in the shopper only one of the "must-see" items to stay and spend her money on on any visitor's itinernary, it items that weren't bargains to has also been the secret source of supply of many well-dressed women's closets. I must admit that it has been a lon,g time since I ventured into ~he deep caverns of this bargain bonanza (the last time, I took Joe, who proceeded to become shell shocked oy the hordes of women, the spectacle of try-ons without the benefit of dressing rooms and the general air of turmoil that pervades the place) ,therefore it was with what I hoped was an open mind that I ventured back last week with n couple of female friends.

Some Adventure It's an adventure, I must admit, but one that I could easily do without. Clothes are scattered every whlch-way_ Forty dollar dresses (marked down, of course) lie in piles where they have fallen off the counters and if no' kind soul picks them up, there they remain until some sweeper, I imagine, retrieves them.

Some are so badly soiled that it would take a good cleaner a great deal of analysfs to get a them clean. Women take on a frenzied appearance as they pull and tug at racks of "bargains" in the unspoken hope that they will return home with a buy.

One of my friends wanted to look at the fur jackets the store had advertised and quite innocently she and I walked over to this area only to be practically frisked by the eyes of a police glJard standing watch over them, plus a hawk-eyed female salesgirl.

Suddenly I felt like a criminal and almost handed over my parcels to be searched for a stray mink or ermine. Needless to say, what further infuriated me about this was that the prices on those furs were no less than you'd find in a plush salon that would roll out the red carpet for the customer.

The thought ran through my mind that the only bargains that were floating around in this underground emporium were those that the management wanted to

Ruling Favors Selective Conscientious Objection SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - A federal court judge ruled here that a section of the Selective Service Act restricting conscientious objector status to men who reject all ,wars on religious grounds is unconstitutional.

The decision by Judge Stanley Weigel (Dec. 24) in effect upheld the contention that military service exemptions must be extended to selective conscientious objectors-men who object to service in some wars but not all.

A similar ruling last April by a federal judge in Boston has been appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court by the Justice Department. It is expected that Judge Weigel's ruling will also he Ilppealed.

begin with.

Reaffirmed Theory It reaffirmed my theory that the places to shop for bargains or "buys" are the expensive or medium range stores that truly do mark down merchandise almost in half, now, that's a good buy.

However what's good about a $300 dress that has half its bugle beads missing and looks like a wet dishrag, but is selling for $110? Just how does one go about getting that item into wearable condition without a search for a specialty cleaner, a long session with some new bugle beads and a lot of alterations that may end up with the dress still looking like a bargain basement special and not a designer's original.

Well, we're all entitled to our own philosophy, whether it be on clothes or religion, and I'm sure that many women who have shopped this basement with marvelous results will sit down, pen in hand, to take me to task, but for my own part I think I'll stay upstairs.

Mayor Orders Crosses In Christmas [?isplay LEWISTON (NC)-Lewiston's Mayor John D. Beliveau is a de· termined man, and as a result there were crosses in the Christ· mos decorations which adorned the city's fire department station.

The crosses went up, as usual, when the decorations were first affixed. They came down when Louis Scolnik, attorney for the Maine branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, complained the display of crosses was "unconstitutional."

The crosses went back up on the order of Mayor Beliveau, who also dispatched a stronglyworded letter to Scolnik remind,ing that the question had not been decided in the courts.

Says Catholic Schools Useful, Necessary VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI, claiming that he understands the objections to main· taining Catholic schools under today's difficult circumstances, nevertheless asserted that they are both useful and necessary.

He said that only Catholic schools offer "the wealth and firmness of religious and pedagogical principles derived from Christ's divine magisterium."

Pope Paul was speaking to 500 participants in a meeting of the Italian Federation of Institutes Dependent Upon Ecclesiastical Authority (FIDEA). Yet his words seemed to apply as well to the United States, where Catholic education is under severe financial strain and is un· der attack from persons who consider it unnecessary or divi· sive.

Pope Paul cited the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Christian Education: "The Catholic school preserves its im· mense importance in the circumstanccs of our times too."

First of the courses was held here in Catherine McAuley High School and will be followed by another session Jan. 14 in Waterville.

Principals in the project are Sis~er Mary de la Salle, history professor and former president of St. Joseph's College, ltorth Windham, Me., who deals with an historical account of Jews and their worship, and Rabbi David Berent of LeWiston, whose subject is J~wish theology.

Support Mounts ,For School Aid In Maryland" BALTIMORE (NC}-Eight

more delegates have joined 42 others who are sponsoring the aid-to-nonpublic education bill in the next session of the Maryland legislature which starts Jan. 21.

Delegate Gerald J. Curran of Baltimore, the bill's major spon· sor, pre-filed it in Annapolis after revisions were made. ' The, current number of backers, '50, is a little more than 'onethird of the 142 state delegates.

Earlier the State Aid Group for Education (SAGE) an organization which is pushing the bill, warned representatives of 75 Baltimore archdiocesan parish "action committees" that the bill will fail unless Catholics are prepared to take every action nece~­ sary.

It is generally conceded that Catholic apathy could be Ii determining fact~r in the bill's fate.

Seek Further Support The parish representatives were attending a meeting organized

by SAGE for all action committees which have so far been formed. SAGE asked a few;weeks prior to the meeting that, the committees, made up of key personnel informed on the sd\Ool-aid issue and that concerned 'Catholics will write to their delegates, In a related move. Msgr. William C. Newman, Baltimore Catholic education superintendent, met with Catholic schools ieaders of Wilmington and Washington to propose similar action committees for their areas. Both the Wilmington dIocese and' the Washington archdiocese have parishes and schoois located in Maryland:, The latest actions of SAGE have been part of its cO,ntinuing program to gather as ,much backing for the bill as' poss.ible to strengthen all, possible weak spots.

Cite Conditions The revised bill asks for a minimum of $12 million worth of s~cular services annually to be financed out of general funds., The bill asks that "services provided shall consist of. the payment of the salaries of teachers engaged in the prese~tation of courses in mathematics, modern foreign languages, physical ' science and physical education and the loan of textbooks and instruction materials to students for use in the aforesaid .courses."

Some eight conditions· which nonpublic schools receivl,ng aid would be required to meet in-' elude provisions ,that they 1:lave an open enrollment policy,' accepting students without .regard to race, religion or national origin, the use of textbooks and instructional materials approved by the State Department. of Education only; and that teachers being paid from state funds do not teach religious matter during the regular school day.

Buffalo Plans Adult Edlllcation I?rogr@Jlm

BUFFALO (NC) - A two-part adult religious education program, under the auspices of Bishop James McNulty of Buffalo, will be held at Walsh High School here, beginning Jan. 29.

The program will consist first of a series of lectures, to be followed by course offerings in Scripture and theology.

The program was announced jointly by Father Juvenal Lalor, O.F.M., I ector of Christ the King Seminary, and Father John M. Ryan, principal of Walsh.

BANGALORE (NC) - India's Jesuits are to meet here next year in a national conference that will climax moves since 1967 to reform the work of the Society in this country.

Jesuits in InQia are best known for their network of schools and colleges. A countrywide survey recently came to the conclusion that they are ,over involved in educational activities at the expense of parochial work There are some 2,000 Jesuits in' India today-l,500 of them priests and the rest Brothers.

Answering a query, a Jesuit spokesman said participation of Jesuit general Father Pedro Ar- , rupe at the meeting "cannot be ruled out." Father Arrupe has visited India twice since his election.

The national' Jesuit survey, part of a global investigation ordered following the Vatican council, recommended that Jesuits in India turn more' and more to "direct apostolte."

The full report of the survey is expected to be released shortly.

Bin Relaxes Curbs On Religious Houses HELSINKI (NC)-The Finnish government has introduced a bill in parliament calling. for the abolition of the current ban on convents and monasteries in this country.

Until now only the Orthodox Church, which has equal rights with the Lutheran state c\1urch in Finland, has been permitted to have religious houses. An Orthodox monastery is located at New Valmo for monks and a convent is at' Lintula. Catholics have mot been permitted to crect religious houses.

The government's' bill is based on the principle that the prohibition against the establishment or maintenance of religious orders, monasteries or convents constitutes a contradiction to the laws guaranteeing religious' freedom and is an obstacle to accord among the various religious denominations and communities in Finland. .

Resolv·e to Seize Clhurch Lands

DETROIT (NC)-The Detroit Association of Laymen, which opposes state aid to nonpublic schools, has ac-

ALLEPPEY (NC) - Kerala's leading pro-Peking communists ratified a decision by the party's Youth Fe<leration to confiscate the excess lands of individuals, churches, temples and other reo Iigious institutions here in India.

Later, Illore than 100,000 communist volunteers, including thousands of men and women Red Guards in Viet Cong type uniforms, staged a mammoth public demonstration of their resolve to seize the lands.

The ratification came at a two-day convention of pro-Peking peasants and 'peasant workers headed by parliament member A.K. Gopalan and former chief minister E.M.S. Namboodiripad.

The convention declared that it would regard a Land Reform Bill, still pending enactment into law, as entering into force on Jan. I. Gopalan said his followers would seize the excess lands after that date.

Originally framed when Namboodiripad's government was in office, the bill ~tipulates a ceiling on lands that can be legally owned in the state.

cused the Detroit archdiocese of "blackmail" for warning that many Catholic schools may have to close because of serious fi· nancial problems.

In a letter, the DAL called on Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton, vicar general, to ask the Michigan governor and legislature to separate the controversial issue of "parochaid"-aid to nonpublic schools-from the educational reform program.

Central to the educational reform program proposed by Gov. William G. Milliken is a $1 billion state school aid bill, including $25 milliion in aid for nonpublic schools. The bill has been approved by the state Senate, with House action expected by about mid-February.

Fr· McAvoy Views Catholic Church in· United States

8;

13

1970

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy The title of Father Thomas T. McAvoy's last book (he died in July, 1969, shortly after correcting the- page proofs) is something of a misnomer. It is called A History of the Catholic Church in the United States (University of Notre Dame Press. $14). But of New York. And a it does not even touch upon archbishop constructive critic was the gifted the Church's development convert Orestes Brownson, who in certain areas of the coun- faulted the enlarged Catholic try: for example, the Southwest.

This is because Father McAvoy, long archivist and professor of history at Notre Drame, had in mind something other than what' his title suggests.

His objective is really to try to show how and to what degree a largely immigrant Catholic population accommodated itself to the prev"lent Anglo-American tradition "without also accepting Protestantism in religion."

He begins with the Catholic settlement in Maryland in 1634, noting that two previous attempts by English Catholics to establish themselves in the new world (1583 and 1605) ended in disaster or failure. He proceeds to sketch the poor, often persecuted lot of Catholics in the colonies previous to the Revolution.

A great figure (how few they have been!) rises to prominence with the appointment of John Carroll as the first Catholic bishop in the infant nation in 1790.

Archbishop Carroll This s.agacious and far-seeing churchman, of the Anglo-American aristocracy himself, well understood the temper of the country and its citizenry and sought to have the Church fit in, with no sacrifice of its identity or integrity.

By the time that Carroll's 25year episcopate was over, there was marked growth in the American Church, and new dioceses had been established. ,But these sees were filled with men foreign born, some of them never having set foot here before their episcopal appointments, and they were plagued by the trustee problem.

In 1820, an Irishman was named to the see of Charleston, South Carolina. He was John England, and he rivalled Carroll in stature if never in position.

He established a newspaper, drew up a constitution for his diocese, and initiated a diocesan convention, with a house of clergy and a house of lay delegates, to meet each year.

Nativism Problem Practically all of his remarkable work, well suited to the American scene and advantageous to the Church in such surroundings was abandoned or deliberately undone after his death.

As the country expanded, and the Catholic numbers with it, attempts were made to give some form to the Catholic minority, but these were not successful.

Immigration, welling in the middle of the nineteenth century, vastly and quickly 'increased the variegated Catholic population. This brought reaction in the form of Nativismfear and resentment of the newcomers by people longer established here.

A champion of the beset Catholics was the fiery John Hughes,

body for what he considered the misuse of opportunity and resources.

Best Organized Section A series of' provincial, then plenary, councils had, meanwhile, been struggling to meet the national needs of the Church and to legislate for it. These be'gan in 1829 and continued through 1884.

In 1889 was held the first national congress of the Catholic laity, and it looked at first as if this organization might be an influential means of unity. But it and it successor organization, the American Federation of Catholic Societies, launched in 1901, came to little and petered out.

Of great significance was the contest between progressives and conservatives in the hierarchy, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the time of America's phenomenal burgeoning.

He gives us faithful por-traits of Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop 'John Ireland and concise accounts of the causes in which they were engaged, the opposition they met, the involvement of Rome, the travails of (;atholic University, the heresy-thatnever-was - Americanism. This is perhaps the best organized and most comprehensive section of the book, because richer research is available concerning it than concerning any other period.

Social Work Probably the most original portion of the book is that dealing with the National Catholic War Conference, organized when the United States got into World War I . Largely responsible for this was a man now all but forgotten, Father John J. Burke, of the Paulists.

Out of his initiative came not only the National Catholic Welfare Conference, but also a permanent school of social work, and a succession of pastorals which carried great weight: The first of the pastorals was that of 1919, in which the American bishops enunciated an imaginative and - apposite platform of Catholic endeavor, beneficial to the whole American society, which would be more or less followed for' the next quarter century. _ It, too, was the work of a man who has sunk into oblivion, Father Edward Pace, who died, superannuated, as vice rector of Catholic University.

Catholic Schools In his closing chapters, Father McAvoy deals with Catholic experience and accomplishment in the years of depression, another world war, and the aggiornamento of the Vatican II era.

As have others, he sees the election of John F. Kennedy a decade ago as signalizing the attainment of full citizenship and acceptance by American Catholics. But there is an ominous sentence in his very last paragraph: "There is still a lack of Catholic intellectuals and no real change in the status of the Catholic laymen."

This volume is especially interesting for its compendious ac-

Three Echo retreats have been given so far, including one to 35 16 to 18 year old boys at Shirley Industrial School. "They responded very well," said Father Mayhew, who has been making follow-up visits to' the institution since the retreat was given in November. He says the prison chaplain has 'jnvited the ECHO team to give the retreat to a second group of boys.

The other two ECHOS have been held at Holy Cross Retreat House, North Easton, for groups . from Coyle High School. A fourth weekend is being offered Jan. 30 through Feb: '1, also at. . Holy Cross. It is open to boys of the New Bedford, Attleboro and Taunton areas, primarily high school seniors or college students, although high school juniors are also eligible.

Why There? . Why those areas?, The answer joints up an important feature of ECHO. It is directed by Diocesan priests and involves followup meetings, therefore organizers want participants to come from oarts of the Diocese where there "are priests willing to take responsibility for such meetings.

Many of the things experienced may never be experienced in the parish celebration, but the point is that nothing will be experienced that under the proper circumstances could not be experienced."

Talks during the ECHO week-' end are. given by priests, laymen and students who have' already made the weekend. Topics inelude the Church as a community of' love, the Open Generation, a discussion of Christian marriage by a married couple, and talks on the Church 'in the world and Christianity in action.

Participants join in discussion of each talk and there are ample REV. THOMAS MAYHEW opportunities for small group meetings and conferences with opening ECHO to any qualified spiritual directors, if desired. youth..

Fear, Counter-Fear Ke~p Arms Race Escalating

15

By Barbara Ward As the two Great Powers confront each other at Helsinki and discuss an end to the arms race, the position is that America can destroy Russia 25 times over and Russia can destroy America five times over. The difference is not too important, since ir. America and Russia once is enough. Why, then, officials have learned to think automatmay they be on the point of ically of the other side as being adding another twist to the up to the most dreadful tricks. .

upwar~

spiral of the arms race?

If both sides now add a full de-

ployment of the new multiple warheads (the so- c a'i led MIRVS.) together with the antimissile missile (the ABM systems) supposedly needed to cope with them, then, given a tentative estimate of four or five warheads to eac missile, America will be moving towards 100 times overkill while Russia more modestly reaches America's overkill capacity of today.

This is not fantasy. This is what the new weapons systems would imply. They would cost another $30 to $40 billion on each side. They would leave both as unsafe as now simply because no conceivable ABM shield could keep out all the attacking weapons and because, in any case, the planet's system of air and water could not tolerate even a "first strike" without succumbing to fatal radiation and plague.

Why Not? The obvious Gaurse of reason 'Cor both sides is to' go back" to, say, twice overkill on each side and introduce sufficient inspection to ensure enforcement. This would at once cut arms spending back by 20 per cent and prevent a rise of 50 per cent in the first half of the Seventies.

Well, why not? What stands in the way of such obvious good sense? The answer is that a n'Jmber of major obstacles have to be overcome if the Helsinki talks are to move in the direction of greater sanity. The first is inertia induced by 20 years of a certain kind of military approach. Ever since the Cold War began to heat up in 1947-48, a large number of officers and

Plans School Lunch Program Expansion WASHINGTON (NC) - The Nixon administration has announced plans to nearly double the number of children taking part in the school lunch program

by Thanksgiving, 1970 - from 3.4 million now to 6.6 million then.

Harvard nutrition expert Jean Mayer, a White House consultant, said this would be done mainly by revising Agriculture Department regulations to permit participating schools to hire private food service companies.

Private firms have generallY been excluded up to now, and this has kept the school lunch program out of schools which lack their own facilities for food preparation.

Mayer indicated at a White House news conference that the administration was not much concerned about the cost of expanding the program. He said "6.6 million needy children will get free or reduced-price lunches hy Thanksgiving, 197o-and it will cost what it will cost."

An atmosphere of fear is always disturbing to good judgment and good sense. But it is particularly dangerous when the "tricks" include the full technological sophistication of nuclear and electronic science in our day.

New Group Aids Former Clergy

U,,$Q C@'tholic Conference Divi$mon Works for UniverSial Peace WASHINGTON (NC) - The end of the violence-packed 1960s fused with a call to prayer by Pope Paul VI and other religious leaders for World Peace Day as the New Year dawned and the new decade began. . .

There is uncertainty about the' 1970s-but there always is hope.

War made great strides during the '60s. The civil war in Vietnam turned into a dark nightmare. The Middle Ea'st crisis flared as Arabs and Israelis tore at 'eac!l other. And more than a million Biafran children starved to death because of seemingly endless civil war in Nigeria.

These major wars have been marked with cruel atrocities.

Americans and Viet Cong alike have allegedly slaughtered innocent Vietnamese. Arabs' homes have been destroyed. And help has been largely refused in the effort to save Biafran children.

Then there have been "unreported" wars in South America and other areas of Asia.

Msgr. Gremillion said at that, time that the commission will help the Church to see its role in promoting structures throughout the world ~y which wealthy nations can aid less developed countries.

Presence of Church He said the commission was expected also to cooperate with and encourage existing international organizations that have this as their goal.

In a statement issued at the conclusion of the commission's first plenary session in Vatican City, it was stated that the commission was "designed to represent in concrete form the presence of th~ Church in con- . temporary society." . In the United States, the USCC division promotes these ·goals. Msgr.

.O'Donnell To NCEA Office

.WASHINGTON( NC)"':'" Joseph O'Donnell, . business manager of the National Catholic Educational Association, has been promoted to vice-president for 'business affairs. The appoirltment· was approved by the NCEA board of directors at Its semiannual meeting here.

O'Donnell joined the' NCEA staff as convention and exposition manager in 1958. The annual NCEA convention has attracted as many as 25,000 delegates and 50::> exhibitors. He earlier served in executive positions with the Youth Department of the' United States Catholic, Conference.

Noting that the new post was created by NCEA's recently updated constitution, Father C. AI- . bert Koob, O.Praem., NCEA president, advised the association's directors that "it is absolutely essential that a layman be given visibility in the NCEA." He added that O'Donnell's appointment will "assure continuity of leadership" for the association. . O'Donnell is a Washington na,tive and a 1952 cum laude graduate of the Catholic University of America. He. is a member of the American Society of Association Executives, the National Association of Exposition Managers, the .Ursuline Academy Advisory Board and the Sons of the American Revolution. He was national president of the Exposition Managers in 1966.

A Bethesda Md., resident, 0'Donnell is married arid has eight children.

College. to Admit Men 'Students MILWAUKEE (NC)---Cardinal .Stritch College, a women's college since its founding in 1937, will become I;oeducational in the Fall of 1970. .

The college is operated by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi.

Though the college has awarded graduate degrees to male day students, degrees on the undergraduate level have been limited to women. Male students will now be admitted on both levels, ,but still on a non-resident basis.

LONDON -(NC)---A new national organization has been set up in Britain to help priests and Religious men' and women who give up their vocations.

The organization calls itself Bearings for Reestablishment (Great Britain) and follows the pattern of Bearings for Reestablishment Inc. of America with which it is .seeking affiliation.

Moving spirit behind the group is Norman St. John-Stevas, Catholic politician and journalist, who presided at a press conference announcing its establishment at the House of Commons.

The group is a charitable trust seeking abollt $15,000 a year from the public to help counsel and re-settle former Re-

Iigious in satisfying roles as active lay Catholics. It will operate "with the support, financial and otherwise, of laymen and priests in the Church but outside the official structure of the Church," a statement said.

Bearings hopes to cooperate with but remain independent of the Church authorities - who have already approved a scheme of their own, details of which are expected shortly.

EDINBURGH (NC)-The Catholic Church and the Episcopal Church in Scotland have agreed to honor each other's baptism rite and to appoint liturgical commissions to draw up a common rite of baptism.

Father James Quinn, S.J., of Edinburgh, consultor for the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, has described the joint report on baptism as "an ecumenical landmark of wide importance. The' report will have an impact beyond the two churches immediately concerned."

Very Rev. Provost A. I. M. Haggart of the Episcopal Church said: "We found ourselves talking the same language, with no emotional overtones. The report is a definite step forward. Agreement on baptism is a fundamen. tal pre-requisite for a continued growing together of the two churches."

Common Text The report, prepared by a joint study group of 24 clergy and laymen, has been approved by the provincial synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church and by the Scottish Bishops' Conference.

Both churches have recognized the reality of each other's baptism, unless there is proved indi"idual "eccentricity"on the part of the person administering the sacrament. " Liturgical commissions are to explore a common text for a common rite of baptism to be used separately in each church.

Approval has been given for the preparation of a common certificate of baptism which can be used when either church requests th<; other to provide official evidence of baptism.

Eases Suspension Of Saigon Paper SAIGON (NC)-A daily newsper published here by Father Joseph Tran Du, under government suspension for prit:lting a cartoon 'satirizing the Vietnam army, will be back in circulation five days early.

The Ministry of Information announced that the penaltv against the daily, Hoa Binh (Peace). had been reduced from 15 to 10 days. The offending cartoon showed a soldier embracing a girl and waving a sheaf of bank notes. Though Hoa Binh is edited by a priest, it is considered a political rather than a religious organ.

In an unconnected action, the Ministry of Information also announced that Chanh Dao (Right Way), a daily published by the militant Buddhist.s of the An Quang pagoda would be closed pending prosecution. The ministry objected to an article that tended to cause dissension among national leaders and promote religious discrimination.

Tower of Pisa PISA (NC) - A government commission is studying some 3,000 suggestions from engineers and architects on how to stop the leaning tower of Pisa from leaning still more. The 796-yearold tower is said to move off the vertical at the rate of .04 of an inch per year. Federico Tornar, head of the Pisa Cathedral Foundation, said work to halt the tilting is exper.ted to stnrt in 1971.

Cites SUJpport After Homily ATLANTA (NC) - A priest whose controversial homily on war caused some members of the congregation to walk out of church praised Archbishop Thomas A. Donnellan of Atlanta for the "very fair" approach" he adopted to, the ensuing controversy.

Father John Stathas. assistant at St. Thomas More parish here. said he was called in by the archbishop after a delegation of the parishioners visited the prelate to express their concern over the homily.

"He called me in to hear both sides and was very fair," Father Stathas stated.

The priest said ,his homily traced the teaching of the MEDALISTS: Orland J. Souza, Mansfield; Mrs. John Welch, Raynham; Joseph C. Megan, Church on war through history Taunton.

Scores Britain's Supplying Arms . To Nigeria LONDON (NC) - John Cardinal H~enan in a special message of peace attacked the British' govern-

milnt again for supplying arms to the Nigerian federal government at war with its breakaway province of Biafra.

"It must not be thought that the Church has taken sides against the federal side in the Nigerian conflict," Cardinal Heenan said. "This would be .very far from the truth. Last month I sang pontifical Mass in the cathedral (Westminster, Lon· don) for the Nigerians to show that from the Pope downwards the authorities of the Church are not partisan.

'Our Concern' "I have lost no opportunity however of expressing my opine ion of the attitude ,of the British government.' Both in our own cathedral and at an ecumenical service in Westminster Abbey (London's principal Anglican church across the street from the Houses of Parliament) I have declared that the arms supplied by the British Government are prolonging the conflict and incidentally destroying the British reputation for compassion and justice. , Cardinal Heenan earli~r in his message reviewing the need for peace everywhere had said: "Finally and most astonishing of all is the peace for which we , yearn for many lands. Bloodshed and terror are still the daily lot of the people in Vietnam and Biafra·Nigeria. . . , "there is little we' 'can' do about Vietnam because we have no stake in that civil war. The Nigerian conflict on the other hand is very much our concern.

It is generally held on both sides that Britain alone holds the key to peace.

Government Attitude "This is not to suggest that this key would easily unlock the door to peace. It is only to rec· ognize the unique place this country holds in the minds of all in Nigeria to whatever tribe they belong.

Federal Nigeria, a former British colony, is an independent republic member of the British Commonwealth fully recognized

by Britain with which she has specific treaties and agreements including the supplying of arms.

The British government argues that if it stopped supplying such arms Nigeria would in any case get them from somewhere else, probably from the Soviet Union which would consequently strengthen. its influence iri this strategically and economically important country of West Africa. The government attitude 'has aroused much opposition around the nation.

Areas of Concern 'in 'Catholic Education Continued from Page One On the religious program,' Archbishop Leibold said: ".We find the world of today confronting us teachers, as it confronts the Church, with the formidable task of formulating theC'atholic faith in terms which speak to modern mentalities,' particularly in the light of new religious and secular problems.

This the Church must do without pretending that the myster'ies of faith can be, made any more intelligible to, men, in one century or culture than to those ~ , in another;!: R.elated to Resources Turning to financial problems, Archbishop Leibold warned that they "involve a very complex situation, and anyone who approaches it simplistically just does not understand it."

Noting that "it is simple to say, 'set the tuition in proportion to actual costs,' but whom are we to educate in our schools -just those who can pay?"
