During Father Forni's life, Father Shovelton pointed out how the late New Bedford pastor answered that question. The eulogist said, "Thirty years ago, Father Forni said "here I am, Lord' and stepped forward in St. Mary's Cathedral to be ordained, the echo of "What would you

...................

Rites for N'ew Bedford Continued from Page Two that eternal life begins with baptism and never ends. And our faith now demands that we apply this marvel of the love of God for us to our friend and brother priest, Father Forni.

God's Ways Not Ours Which of us can measure the life of a man, especially of a priest of God? Which of us will dare to say that we even begin to understand the value that life has in the eyes of God? Again the world judges in its own way, its newspaper headlines making important certain people, ignoring others, its praises heaped upon those who perform their deeds in what is known as the "public eye."

And sometimes, we who are Christians are tempted to do the same, to say this man or this priest was more successsful than another, to use our standards to judge how much praise a man should have. And here again we must remind ourselves that the things unseen' form the great reality for God, that only He can count up the daily acts of selflessness, the constant love in-a man's heart that. makes him care about his God and his people.

It is not my purpose here to praise Father Forni, for my words of this moment mean absolutely nothing. to him. I am sure that he looks pityingly on me as I try to explain the wonder of God that he is at this moment experiencing. Father Forni knows how very, very little I can even hint at this.

It is my purpose to point out once again that here especially at the time of death, as in everything else in life, God's ways are not ours, and where we see death there is really life everlasting. <:;".

S~rvant of God Father Forni is a priest. What is a priest? He is a man, chosetl from among other men, to bring God to these other men, to be the channel through which the life of God washes like a torrent into the people of God. He is a man through whom God is to become present constantly in the world, especially in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the altar, so that through this continuing sacrifice of the Son of God on the cross, men might share in salvation.

He is the constant reminder that God has good news for men, that there is a gospel to be preached, and that this gospel is that God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son in order that we might have life and have it more abundantly.

A priest is the one through whom God comes, not to nations, not to great anonymous masses of people, not to congregations or communities or conclaves, but to individual people, the lonely "me" in each of us who yearns for the possession of God. If anything sums up the life of a priest, I believe it is this, that he is the servant of God who brings God to the individual soul.

• God's Obedient Servant Father Forni came from a small town that could in size and importance, I suppose, be l:ompared with Bethlehem of old.

When he began to grow in wisdom and age and grace before God and man, he asked 'of his God only one question: "Lord, what would you have me do?"

The answer brought him to the preparatory years of college and seminary until one day 30 years ago, God again sought him, and he answered, "Here I am Lord," and stepped forward in St. Mary's Cathedral to be ordained,

the echo of "What would you 'have me do?" ringing down through the years.

Again and again, in his assignments in the diocese and as chaplain in the army, we can hear, "Here I am, Lord. What would you have me do?" And' then for 21 years as pastor of what must be the tiniest church in the diocese, day after day, the life of Father Forni said, "Here I am, Lord.

"What would you have me do?" How many thousands of people he has spoken to about Christ during those years, how , many Masses offered, how many Communions given to those hungering for our Lord, how many sins forgiven in the name of God" how many sick consoled in their suffering, cheered in their loneliness, prepared with the presence of Christ for their final journey through death into life, how many affected in the neighborhood and in the city just by the presence' of this man who reflected the presence of God in our lives-it is impossible for us even to imagine.

I know that many of the children at St. Mary's Home just one short block away found it easy to approach our Lord in confession because this man of God was there. And then, once more the call of Christ came, and Father Forni said, "Here I am, Lord. What would yu have me do?" And in the twinkling of an eye, as St. Paul describes it, the wonder and the glory burst about him, and he saw the vision of the majesty of God, the faith by which he lived burst into the ecstacy of knowledge and Father Forni, pulsing with love and joy and overwhelming happiness, stepped into eternal life with God. Live by I"aith, At this moment, then, we, who must :still, live by. faith, who must accept" God's word for what lies beyond the few things that appear' so solidly to our eyes, that must peer dimly into the haze of death and wonder what it is really like, we must thank God that He has taken Father Forni to Himself, that this reward has come to one who has .spent a lifetime of giving God to his people.

We extend our sympathy to his family, who must bear the full burden of the sorrow of parting. But Father Forni we envy. For he rests in peace with God.

CabinetAppoirt'lltment

Seen Significant!'

DUNEDIN (NC) - The first appointment of a Catholic to a cabinet post in the present New Zealand government has a twofold significance. , The new cabinet member is Daniel Riddiford. who hClcS been named by Premier Keith J. :Holyoake as minister of justice.

One reason for the importance of the appointment is the fact that Ridiford has been a leading exponent of state aid for private schools in recent years and there is general satisfaction among Catholics that he will now be in a position to argue his case for such aid aJ; cabinet meetings.

Secondly, his position in the cabinet, not normally one of major ones, is 'important now because it is the minister of justice who is usually responsible for recommending and framing changes in such' matters as the laws regarding abortion.

Mediation and Arbitration Board Establish·ed Here

fHE ANCHOR'Thurs., Jan. 15, 1970

With the full approval of His Excellency, Most Rev. James L. Connolly, the Senate of Priests of the Diocese of Fall River, announced the establishment of a mediation and arbitration board in the Diocese to conciliate differences that may arise between priests, religious and/or laity.

The "Due Process" arrange-' ment will safeguard the rights of all and guarantee equity in implementing justice for all.

The Board will consist of nine members (four priests, two religious sisters, two. members of the laity and one religious brother).

His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop indicated he would appoint two priests and one member of the laity within the mQnth. The Senate will also appoint two priests and a member of the laity and the Religious will select the corresponding members of their own.

The Senate Committee on Priestly Renewal, headed by Msgr. Henri Hamel,' was also officially recognized by the Bishop to arrange the Spring and Autumn Clergy Conferences.

In reference to the Clergy Pension Plan, the Bishop has stated that he would welcome all recommendations of priests concerning the plan and that they .should be sent to him in writing.

The Senate of Priests established a Committee to Study Pre-Retirement and Retirement

Continued from' Page Four Bedford, 17 in South Dartmouth, 16 North Dartmouth, six Fairhaven, two Westport and one Acushnet. .'

There are also seven to nine non-Catholic pupils in the school.

The Legislative Committee comprises Hal Carpenter, chairman (non-parish); Joseph Vera (parish) Edward Costa (parish), Arnold Conde '(parish), Mrs. Celestino Macedo (parish), Mrs. John Tierney (non-parish), Mrs. William Brady (non-parish), Mrs. George St. Aubin (non-parish), Sister Mary Eva and Father Ferreira.

They know full well the critical situation at St. John's and the need for public. aid to nonpublic education.

One only has to loolt at the projected cost to cities if all Catholic schools closed: An addition per $1,000 assessed valuation of $65.4 Acushnet, 6.4 Attleboro, 13.8 Dartmouth, 34.5 Fairhaven, 46.2 Fall River, 25.5 New Bedford, 24.8 North Attleboro, 9.2 Somerset, 34.6 Swansea, 39.7 Taunton and 26.9 Westport.

The situation at St. John the Baptist is the story of one parish doing something about its own problems.

"The answer to our problems lies mainly in our group or parish,''- says committee chairman Carpenter.

In passing it is noteworthy that the School Board of St. Lawrence Church meets tonight in the St. John the Baptist School hall.

Father O'Neill will speak on state aid for non-public school education.

St. Lawrence has two schools in its parish, Holy Family Grammar School and Holy Family High School.

The superintendent's "crusade" to better inform parishioners in the Diocese of Fall River of the critical situation in Catholic education and the need for state aid continues to move forward.

Programs for the Clergy. It was thought that various options and programs in regard to the life-style of retired priests should be arranged so that their ministry and professional expertise would continue as an effective mannel' and not be lost' to the people of the Diocese.

Liturgy Plan In regard to proposed liturgical changes that are soon to be introduced in the United States, the Senate expressed real concern for a serious catechesis for the. people previous to the new rites.

It also sought a gradual implementation of those changes already allowed and deanery programs ·to teach the basic changes, so that full implementation could take place by March 22nd.

The Senate also urged that the Diocesan Liturgical Commission be updated and activated so that effective leadership could be more easily given to all in the Diocese.

The Senate also unanimously asked the Bishop to abolish the programmed list of parish days of prayer and adopt one particular Day of Prayer for all parishes at the same time, e.g., the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.

A motion was also introduced and passed thanking Rev. Edward J. Mitchell for his services to the Senate and wishing him success in his new endeavors.

His resignation was accepted with regret ~md Rev. Armando Annunziato was chosen to occupy the vacant seat on the Senate.

The Senate also agreed to continue to seek financial support of the clergy for membership in the National Federation of Priests' Council. Failing this, the Senate concluded that it would have to accept suspension from . the national organization.

The next -meeting of the Senate will be held Friday, Feb. 13 at 1:30 in the afternoon at the Catholic Memorial Home.

Voices Satisfaction Over Desegregation JACKSON (NC)-Mississippi's first tense week of .court-ordered desegregation ended on an optimistic note here.

Justice Department, civic and religious leaders were hopeful that the transition of 30 districts to unitary systems will be accomplished without major clashes by Feb. 1.

"The attendance is pretty· good and most of the kids are going to schools," reported Frank Dunbaugh, deputy assistant U.·S. Attorney General with the Justice Department's civil rights division.

The department was "satisfied," he said, that local school boards were living up to the Supreme Court's Oct. 29 order to desegregate on an "immediate" basis rather than operate on a "freedom of choice" plan.

Aims to Protect Young from Smut TRENTON (NC) - The state commission examining the obscenity problem may recommend laws governing sale, purchase and showing of smutty printed and filmed material to abandoned in favor of legislation to protect the young from such matter.

This was indicated by Assemblyman William E. Schluter of Mercer County at the conclusion of a series' of public hearings.

Schluter heads the study panel authorized by the legislature a year ago.

AUGUSTA (NC)-As a result of suggestions from a unit of the Portland diocese's human relations bureau, Gov. Kenneth C. Curtis of Maine has established a "people-to-people" tribal program to help solve problems of the state's Indian population.

The organization for the program was arranged through Louis Doyle of the division of Indian service in the diocesan human relations bureau.

Gov. Curtis emphasized that the program is not intended as a state-operated organization, "but strictly a· citizens group that will enlist the support of Maine citizens anxious to help our Indian population."

Doyle said the successful people-to-people relationship between Maine and the state of Rio Grande del Norte in Brazil in the Alliance for Progress program will serve as a model for the state's new Indian aid venture.

Greatest Act· Nigerian UN Diplomat Hails F'ope John's Encyclical, 'Pacem in Terris' NEW YORK (NC)-A Nigerian diplomat, now a United Nations institute director; believes "the greatest act of reconciliation in the Christian community was Pacem in Terris," the 1963 encyclical on peace of Pope John.

Chief S.O. Adebo, executive director of the UN Institute for Training and Research, speaking on the Christian concept of reconciliation at a special program commemorating World Peace Day proclaimed by Pope Paul, asserted:

Bishop Retires OTTAWA (NC)-The resignation for reasons of health and age of Bishop Michael O'Reilly, 75, of St. George's Nfld., has been accepted by Pope Paul VI.

@rhe ANCHOR

"I am an Anglican but Pope John was my Pope, too."

Recalling his early life when one-third of his family was Christian, one-third Moslem and onethird pagan, Chief Adebo stressed the impact made by Pope John's simple statement, "We are all brothers."

As for the present theme, Chief Adebo, who won renown in the mid-1960s for his diplomacy as Nigerian representative to the UN, says Pope Paul's proclamation setting forth the theme of this year's World Day of Peace "confirmed" all he believes not only of the Christian tradition of the means to peace,. but how peace can be achieved by people whether or not they are Christians.

VATICAN . CITY (NC)-Holiday crowds in St. Peter's Square were treated to an extra bonus as Pope Paul VI drove around the square in a small motorcade just prior to his Angelus talk at noon.

In Spring-like weather and under blue skies, Pope Paul stood in his "slide-top" black limousine to acknowledge. the cheers of a noisy crowd as his car and two others drove through the piazza and into the Vatican gardens.

The Pope was on his way to visit a new addition to the College of St. Peter the Apostle, founded in 1947 primarily to house missionary students from Africa, Oceania, Asia and Latin America.

Seminary in Phase Of Restructuring BRIGHTON (NC) - Catholic seminaries in the United States are entering a "phase of restructuring" and there is a "healthy return to formal prayer" among seminarians, it was reported at a meeting here.

The thirty-month attempt by the Ibo tribesmen in Nigeria's Biafranprovince to break away from the central government has ended: The entire world waits fearfully , to see if the fear of mass slaughter and reprisal will be put to rest by the words of amnesty offered by the leade~s of Nigeria. While exact numbers will never be known It seems that two million persons have died in the brutal 'conflict, 'most from starvation. The efforts of various religious-sp9~sored rel.ief flights to bring food a~d medicine into Biafra is a great if sad page in the history of protherhood and, conc~rn. .

Many of the nations .of the world have pledged themselves to 'supply the' needs of the people of that warravaged .,area. W~atever their motives, the relief ship.ments ~~e nee~ed.

Week of Prayer

Once again men of good will approach the week of prayer for religious unity.

be avoided in this effort.

The one would be the attitude that sees'iittle good coming out of attempts to discuss varying religious points of view and attempts to work together in areas where this can be done without compromise of conscienceS. .

Such an attitude would be an admission that' unity was not possible or-worse--desired.

The other error would be th;attitude that sees little or no differences among religions. This would not be . brotherhood but compromise of principles.

Such an attitUde would be a denial of what one holds to be truth. ,

With the end of the Nigerian wa~ it cannot be said that the world is a brighter place-just less dark.

The week of prayer for unity is the realization among men of good will that God is Fatper of all. It is the awareness that while there may be serious differences in beliefs among the various religious persuasions, there are many areas where there can and must be common work and efforts. No one is being asked to surrender what he holds to be God-given truth. But he is being asked to accept the reality that while brothers may differ in essential matters they still- remember that they are brothers, having much in common as well as areas of difference.

Hope Canonization of Martyrs Will Contribute to Ecumenism LONDON (NC)-A joint working group of Catholics and representatives of the 'British Council of Churches (BCC) has voiced the hope that the reported impending canonizations of the 40 Catholic martyrs of England and Wale~ will contribute to a greater ecumenical commitment by all Christians.

The statement followed expressions of concern from some Anglicans, including Archbishop Michael ~amsey of Canterbury, that the canonization of the 40 martyrs will hamper the ecumenical movement.

A s;lokesman for Archbishop Ramsey, however, explained that although the archbishop will regret the canonization, he will not "go on complaining about it." A press officer of the archbishop said that "the last thing he wants to do is to impair the ecumenical spirit," The Catholic-BCC working group, which has 17 BCC and 10 Catholics members; said that it "hopes that, even if the different confessions are not in full agreement as to how it is right or best to honor the martyrs of their own or other traditions, yet the proposed canonizations will be carried out and publicized in an ecumenical manner and spirit,' and that every effort will be made by all Christians to see that the canonization and subsequent veneration do not lead to the revival of strife and bitterness, but, on the contrary, contribute to a greater ecumenical commitment by all," Exe::ute:l as Traitors The statement expressed satisfaction that "today Church relations have improved and that all communions, acknQwledge the martyr traditio,lJ as. one which all have shared and from which they may draw strength, even across denominatiomil boundaries."

Many in this country believe that Pope Paul VI will canonize the 40 martyrs in 1970. The 40 English and Welsh men and women have already been beatified from among some 357 known to have died for their faith in the 16th and 17th centuries during the times of Protestant persecution.

They were executed as traito:,s for maintaining their loyalty to the papacy when this country had broken away from the Roman Church and set up a state Anglican Church of its own.

Archbishop Ramsey's press officer -!llso said: "I believe our understanding of saints is very different from that of the Roman Catholics.

In the Church of England saints are regarded as examples of holiness rather than as intermediaries."

Need R'ugged,n,ess Above All In Snow Styl,es for Young

Queries Attitude T award Di~arce

By Marilyn Roderick

WASHINGTON (NC)-Moves to work out a plan for the reunification of Ireland are leading to fresh questioning of the Irish Republic's stringent attitude toward divorce and birth control and may' eventually lead to a full-scale revision of the country's 1937 constitution, which explicitly forbids the enactment of divorce legislation.

The attitude of the Irish Republic (the south) on these matters, and the section in the constitution that recognizes the "special position" of the Catholic Church, have often been cited by Protestants in Northern Ireland as evidence for alleged domination of the Republic's government by the Church.

Their suspicions are embodied in the old slogan, "Home Rule Is Rome Rule," which is still a rallying cry for opponents of reunification plans.

Boots, boots, boots, everywhere you turn, there are boots or ski pants drying.

Missio,ner 26 Years . Fr. Blockinger Last American Capuchin To Leave Red China ~YDNEY (NC)-The last U. S. Capuchin to leave Red China, Father Rudolf Blockinger, O.F.M. Cap., died at St. Fiacre's Friary in suburban Leichhardt here in Australia at the age of 83.

Father 'Blockinger served in Australia as a professor at the Capuchin seminary in Plimpton, New South Wales, and as pastor at Leichhardt.

Father Blockinger, a native of Wheeling, W. Va., was expelled by the Chinese communists in 1952 on "spy" charges. He was then assigned to the Capuchin community in Australia and remained here until his death.

Assembly Fails to Act "'On School Aid Bill

Father Blackinger was professed !IS a Capuchin in 1908 and ordained in 1914. He was sent to China in 1922 and served as a missionary there for 26 years.

The largest hospital in northern China was under Father Blockinger's care when the Reds descended upon it. Because he was a non-citizen of China they made him owner of all the mission goods there.

He continued in this status for. six years until the communists decided to try him on spy charges. He himself opened the gates of the mission compound to the Reds and they promptly arrested him. He was tried and found guilty. The death sentence imposed on him was later commuted to expulsion because he was a U. S. citizen, -

TRENTON (NC) - The New Jersey State Assembly adjourned for the year here without taking taking action on a general school aid measure which had been an issue in the New Jersey gubernatorial election campaign.

While there was no move to pry the bill out of committee, Assemblyman Richard Vander Plaat of Bergen County, sponsor of the measure, said he would introduce it again when the new legislature takes office in January. That legislature will sit for two years in contrast to the current one-year sessions.

Vander Plaat's bill, which was endorsed by Governor-elect William Cahill, would have provided direct payments for the education of children attending nonpublic schools. Payments would . have been based on the existing state school-aid formula under which the state makes a minimum payment to each public school district for each student enrolled.

Oppose Guilt Concept In Divorce Laws BONN (NC)-Amid discussions concerning possible reform of this country's divorce laws the German Protestant church council has issued a memorandum expressing opposition to the principle of assigning "guilt" in any legislation on divorce.

The memorandum says that divorce should be viewed for what is is, namely, "the consequence of a failure of the marriage community in which both partners' are inescapably involved.'; The statement declares that it should not be necessary to file a suit for divorce but only to submit a request to the court for the beginning of divorce proceedings. Divorce should be available, the momorandum contends, "if those involved are more harmed in their human existence in the maintenance of a marriage than by divorce."

However, the memorandum stresses the need for a clause in divorce legislation that will deny divorce if it will impose .undue hardship on the partner who wishes to continue the marriage.

'Sisters' of St. Joseph .Elect New President CONCORDIA (NC) - Sister Cristella Buser, 45, has been elected president of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Salina here in Kansas. She succeeds Sister Therese Marie Stafford, who died last September.

Sister Christella, who joined the congregation in 1947 and since 1965 had been assistant to Sister Therese Marie, is the seventh head of the 600-member community which serves in two archdioceses and eight dioceses in this country.

Bishop Cyril' J. Vogel of Salina presided at the election.

GUATEMALA (NC) The bishops of Central America have appealed to their 12 million Catholics to heal the spiritual and temporal wounds left on the region by the July, 1969, war between EI Salvador and Honduras. . The leaders of the .bishops' conferences . in EI Salvador, Hondures, Costa" Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua' issued their . call for prayer and work while 'civic efforts to revive Central American unity and its common .market seem to have failed.

The bishop.s were spurred to an overall peace offensive by words Pope Paul VI addressed to them at their special meeting here.

"The Church in .C:entral America once more wants to revive her unifying action," the bishops stated, and they quoted the following from 'Pppe Paul's message: .

Church Shifts Incom'e Pol icy

MEMPHIS (NC) - Hopes for peaceful settlement of the three-month-old St. Joseph Hospital strike were

SANTIAGO (NC) - The Catholic Church in Chile is renouncing its traditional sources of income - lands, buildings, and wealthy churchgoers - and will rely on contributions from the average parishioners, even if these amount only to 10 per cent of its needs.

"We know, it is hard, but we are not afrai,d," said Father Manuel Camilo Vial, a young priest from Temuco. "We are willing to take up jobs if neces· sary."

Last year· about 55,000 families contributed $220,000 to the Church in Chile. The rest came from investments and rents from lands, urban properties and stocks, as well as from contributions by well-to-do church· goers.

Some small dioceses rely in great part on contributions from Catholics abroad for the support of their work, mostly from Germany and the United States.

This new move by the Church in Chile will require education both for the clergy and for the laity.

"Priests here usually do not appreciate ,the relation between money and pastoral work, between the coin and the Gospel," said Father Egidio Vigano, a social and economic expert work· ing for the archdiocese of Santiago. "They have been told at the seminary that what counts is spiritual values, and, therefore to be 'weary of worldly goods.

It was ~he concept of the world opposing the Church."

shattered when the hospital rejected a peace plan proposed by Bishop Joseph A. Durick of the statewide Nashville diocese.

Hospital spokesmen had indicated earlier they would go along with all poi~ts of the bishop's proposal, strongly en· dorsed by many black and white leaders in Memphis.

But after 126 strikers marched back to, the hospital and signed up to return to work" the hospi· tal administration announced it would not go along with one item, calling for all workers to be taken back without reprisals.

J. L. Luton, associate administrator of the hospital, said 21 strikers would 'not be allowed to return to work. He said 12 of these were refused reinstatement because of alleged strike-related violence, four had resigned and FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS: At the completion of the presentation of 33 young ladies from the contracts of five who worked as vacation relief had expired. throughout the diocese, their fathers led them out for -the ever-remembered moments of their Jesse Epps, special assistant first dance on the night of the 15th Annual Bishop's Ball., to the president of the American Federation of Sta~e, County and Municipal Employee (AFL·CIO), said the union members then voted to continue the strike.

CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Paul F. Leibold called for' new emphasis on "what a priest really is," pointing out that he is "primarily a minister of the word and of the life of Christ" and not simply a "social worker, do-gooder or tee~age entertainer." The Cincinnati archbishop spoke who responds to Christ's call to Him. to members' of the Gregorian, follow "Judas tried to play the money Program, high school stu- game part of, the tim'e and he

"One does not have to be a priest," commented Archbishop Leibold, in order to engage in social or charitable work or entertaining. He said "the pr:iest exe~cises his ministry of Christ's word and life "through preaching and teaching the Gospel by word and example, and by administering the sacraments."

"Primacy put on anything less than this will form a distorted priest," he said.

Another necessary "area of em· phasis," Archbishop Leibold said, is holiness.

Way of Life f:. priest's very way of life, he said, "must be one of holiness, both by reason of the holy things which he deals and by reason of the sacramental perfection of his baptismal priesthood in Holy Orders . . ..Any aspiration less than sanctity is unbecoming the future priest; and that which is designed to ~evelop holiness should be his constant interest."

Speaking of a third "area of emphasis," Archbishop Leibold de~lared: "Any thought that one can 'l)e a good, effective happy , and fulfilled priest with anything '" less than total commitment' to this, life f~r and in Christ with all its implications must be dis-· pelled.

Youth "What I admire about young people today," the archbishop added, "is their sin(:ere openness and enthusiastic dedication to a cause. So. I allticipate that this total commitment demanded by Christ will not be an obstacle to today's youth but, rather, at· tractive to them."

The' archbishop recalled Vati· can Council II's insistence on the "extreme importance of priestly formation" and its, ~m.phasis on a religious formation for seminary candidates "which gives first place to spiritual direction."

The council, he coritinued, called for students to lead "a life suited to the age, -mentality and developmental stage of young men and 'which fully conforms to the laws of 'a healthy psyctiology," under the "fatherly direction of their directors and with appropriate cooperation of par-_ ents."

Moreover, "the course of studies, while directed to prepaation for the priesthood, should be so. arranged that students can continue -them elsewhere without disadvantage if they, choose. 'another state of life," he said.

NEWARK (NC) -In separate moves, the Newark archdiocese has acted to meet the needs of minority' groups.

Archbishop Thomas A. Boland and an ad hoc subcommittee of the Senate of Priests worked out a plan to provide financial assistance' as well as personnel to parishes in the inner-city ~reas.

At the same time, the archbishop is taking a direct hand in promoting the equal employment program of Project Equality and has personally called for reports from pastors, administrators and agency heads.

In a third development, the Mount Carmel Guild, social weI· fare agency of the archdiocese, announced that it has purchased 14 rundown apartment buildings in Newark's Central Ward and will completely renovate them for low-income housing at a cost of $1.1 million.

Details of, the program to help inner·city parishes financially were worked out at a series of meetings between the archbish·· op and a special subcommittee of the senate, which had offered a comprehensive proposal of its own.

The' plan agreed upon is a modification of the proposals made by the senate and the independent Newark Priests Association. It calls for the establish· ment of a Clergy Board for Inner-City Aid. 'The board is to be named by the two episcopal vicars appointed especially for this work , last Summer-Father Joseph A. Stulb for the inner city and Father Thomas W. Heck for the Spanish-speaking.

Defends Social Reform

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River....:Thurs., Jan. 15, 1970

ASUNCION (NC) - A leading Paraguayan bishop has defended priests engaged in social reform.

Theirs is not political action but "Gospel action," said Bishop Ramon Bogarin of San Juan de las Misiones. The bishop, a member of the permanent committee of the Paraguayan Bishops' Conference and a frequent critic of the government, added that conservatives often call these priests "communists" merely because the conservatives dislike justice.

In the past six months, the re-

By Msgr. George G. Higgins 'Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C.

Last November, when the National Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a second warning against ,the danger of governmental compulsion in the field of family planning, many people yawned indulgently as though to suggest that the Bishops were allowing themselves to be para-governmental age n c i e s . is very little doubt that mesmerized by their own There within 20 or 30 years permission outmoded ecclesiastical rhet- will have to be obtained for

oric. To tell the truth and shame the devil, I must admit that I myself was somewhat less than wildly enthusiastic abo'ut t his s e co n d NCCB statement in support of parental freedom in the area under discussion.

I recognized, of c 0 u r s e, that there is always a danger that government programs in this very sensitive area will be abused, but I felt that the Bishops might be exaggerating the extent of this <;langer.

Moreover I was convinced that, if bureaucratic interference with parental freedom in the field of family planning ever became a clear and present danger, even the most rabid supporters of planned parenthood with the exception of a few unrepresentative zealots, would rise up in protest, as good civil libertarians, regardless of their own personal views on the matter. . :Paretntat Freedom At the present time, however, I am not so sure about that. On the contrary, a couple of things I have read during the past few weeks would seem to suggest that the danger of government interference with parental freedom in the field of .family planning is, if anything, more serious than the Bishops made it out to be in their November statement.

I am referring to an article by Alan Barth on the editorial page of the I Dec. 24 issue of the Washington Post entitled "A State License to Have Children?", and a parallel reference to the same subject by a former Catholic priest in a book which, in fairness to the publisher who was kind enough to provide me with an advance copy, probably shouldn'tb~ mentioned by name at this time'since it isn't scheduled for publication until March.

"Little Doubt' Both of these writers flatly take the po'sition that parents should be required to apply to the government for permission to have another child, Mr. Barth, who is a long-time member of the editorial page staff of the Washington Post, makes his point, in part, as follows: "When a man and a woman decide that they' should like to reproduce, they ought to be required to go down to City Hall and obtain a license. or permit, . to do' so. Such a license should not be granted quite so casually as marriage licenses have been issued in the past. Exacting qualifications ought to be set for parenthood."

The author of the unnamed book referred to above takes identiealIy the same position.

"There is no doubt," he says, "that obligatory birth control will have to be imposed ultimately by governmental and

each human conception lind, later, birth," Government Compulsion I find these two statements very significant and more than a little alarming, not so much because of what they actually say, but rather because of the prominence and potential influence of their authors.

Mexican-AmericanMovement SAN ANTONIO (NC)-People used to live on "this side", or "the other side" of the railroad tracks.

Now it is the highway that divides cities, and San Antonio is no exception.

To the north- and east of Interstate Route 10, the growing, gleaming city of San Antonio rises into the affluent suburbs around Alamo Heights.

West of Route 10 are the tiny three-room frame homes of the Mexican-American barrios and their suburbs, the tiny frame homes-with more land-in the colonias at the edge of the city.

Willy Velasquez used to live in a house where the highway runs now-where Mexican and Anglo communities almost meet in San Antonio.

Wit1y Velasquez is one of a growing generation of MexicanAmericans whose lives, as well as their homes, are at that point of contact between Anglo and Mexican societies here and throughout the Southwest. lHlold Back Funds Willy Velasquez is Mexican-.

American, born in the barrios of San Antonio, where the average education level is 5.7 years. But he is a graduate of St. Mary's University, and has most of his course work completed toward a masters' degree in economics.

He has worked in Wa,shington and knows his way around government.

He is director of the MexicanAmerican Unity Council and, a founder of MAYO, the MexicanAmerican Youth Organization.

He qualifies as a "militant" Chicano. ' He also has 'found a decent share of financial support from the Anglo community, primarily Texas church groups and the Ford Foundation in New York.

Ford, however, has reacted to local 'critics by holding back promised funds.

Union Organizer' Juan Flores is also in his 20s.

He is newly married, and has a university education. Most people like Flores would become accountants or management trainees for a department. store chain.

Flores is an organizer for a labor union. He is an organizer for a new union-the American Labor Alliance-in a state that has a "right to work" law.

"Righi to work" means unions don't have a right to organize.

Unionism may be safe and complacent in Gary,. Ind., but in Texas it is fighting the way it fought back in the 20s and 30s.

PROVIDENCE (NC)-The Providence diocese's two seminaries will, accept nonecclesiastical s~udents begin-

ning in September, according to a new policy announced here by Bishop Russell J. McVinney of Providence.

Establishment of the new policy will mean that the facilities, teaching personnel, special offer- . ings, and programs will be avail- . able to all young men in Rhode Island who may wish to take advantage of them.

The college of Our Lady of Providence in Warwick Neck.

R.I., will open its campus and all its academic and £:xtracurricular programs to properly qualified male students, including those who do not wish to study for the priesthood.

Non-ecclesiastical students will be abel to pursue a liberal arts education in literature, philosophv, or religious studies.

Residence facilities will not be available for the non-ecclesiastical students, however.

Prep Course In an effort to provide for students seeking admission to Catholic secondary schools, but who are unable to be admitted because of lack of space, Our Lady of Providence Preparatory Seminary will also admit non-ecclesifor all the souls departed. astical students.

N@tl're Dame' Cem'et@ry Bells Re(:C!IU Resurrection Joy to Mourners The new emphasis of the liturgy on the Resurrection as exemplified in the words of the people at the Consecration of the Mass, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again," has also found expression in the Iitu'rgy of the' funeral Mass and in' many observances connected with' the ,laying to rest of the faithful.

Particularly moving is the use of bells at the church or cemetery, and seven months ago this ancient tradition was introduced at Notre Dame Cemetery, Fall River, where Carillon Bells greet mourners.

As the funeral cortege enters the cemetery, the bells start ringing the glory of the Resurrection ("Seraphic Dream"). As the procession proceeds to the burial site, they continue their harmonious interpretation of this, same sublime theme. During the committal prayers at the grave, the bells send heavenwards their praises of the Blessed Trinity, ("Holy God, We Praise Thy Name"), of Christ, King and Redeemer ("To Jesus' Christ,' Our Sovereign King") and of Our Blessed Mother ("Hail Holy Queen").' They conclude their melodious prayer' with a plea

New Order of Brothers· Hopes to Help Delinquent and Dependent Youths PHILADELPHIA (NC)-A new community of Brothers here has no difficulty defining its identity.

The Brothers in the Holy Spirit, established by Brother Robert Borgesi, aims to aid delinquent or dependent youths with minimal court records to become productiv~ citizens through "care, kindness, psychological therapy and vocational training."

With approval of John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia, the Brothers have opened a house to serve as a "half way house" be-tween delinquency and pro-

because the Chicanos constitute a majority of the low-paid labor force. The Chicanos see the unions as a level to obtain some of the power now held by others.

Office Jobs The statistics tell Why they' are fighting. On the West Side of San Antonio, where most Mexican-Americans live, .the unemployment rate-the count of people who can find work, but not enough to live on-is 47 per cent.

In the United States, 15 per cent of the work force earns less than $60 a week. In the barrios and colonias of the West Side, the figure is 44 per cent.

More than half the jobs open in San Antonio are office jobs; only 14 per cent of the West Side Mexicans looking for work have white-collar experience.

Only three per cent of unfilled jobs are for laborers; 16 per cent of the Mexicans out of work are laborers.

The figures come from a Texas Department of Labor survey conducted a couple of years ago.

The survey concluded, however, that while the percentages are high the numbers of people are smaIl: "The problem is clearly of manageable proportions."

JOHN THOMPSON

the season in December, Thomp· son made his home debut in the Spartan gym.' The collar may have prevented him from playing but it didn't stop him from lending vocal support.

In February,' 1967 the collar was removed. Gradually the feeling came back and before long he was turning his head from side to side. Except for the expected stiffness, there was no pain.

His biggest thrill came when the Stang hoop candidates reo ported for the 1967-68 season.

He had worked out over the Summer and had seemingly re- gained some of his stylish form.

He made the varsity and when the season opened, John was a starting guard.

Thompson had a fine year as he led Stang to a strong Bristol County League showing with his 9.7 point-per-game average and good all-around floor leadership.

During the season he won a trophy for being named playerof-the·week by the New Bedford Standard-Times.

Following his graduation, John entered St. Thomas More Prep School where he spent the past year. Now he's a freshman at Holy Cross College and is listed as a member of the Crusaders' frosh basketball team.

Thompson is the son of Mrs. Dorothy Thompson, 58 George Street, South Dartmouth and is' a communicant of St. Mary's Parish.

John has already come a long way since that June afternoon in 1966, but chances are the journey is far from over.

Dutch Action Lacks JuridicQlI Effect

By Luke Sims On' a warm pre-Summer afternoon in June of 1966, 16-year old John Thompson decided to go swimming. Together with a friend, the two journeyed to the pool of a next door neighbor.

The long school year had finally come to an end. It was a happy occasion and John, like. any other schoolboy, was out to enjoy the benefits of the Summer vacation.

But for John, joy was only temporary. A few hours later he lay near death in a hospital bed.

During a jump or dive into the pool, Thompson and his friend had somehow collided. John began to submerge to the bottom.

A ,neighbor pulled the unconscious youth from the water and summoned police who transported Thompson to St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford. There it was learned that John had suffered a broken neck.

For several days Thompson remained motionless in a state of partial paralysis. His chances of ever walking again were de scribed as quest!onable at best.

It was a tough blow especially for Bishop Stang basketball Coach John O'Brien. The year before Thompson had sparked the Spartan sophomore team to a winning record and was reputed to be the brightest hoop prospect to enter the Nort!)

Dartmouth school in several years. O'Brien was counting on John to lead the varsity the following Winter.

Thompson remained in the hospital for the next, two months, his condition improving remarkably with each passing day. By August he was up and about. His neck was still broken and he was forced to wear an . elaborate brace for the necessary support. But· the fear of total paralysis was over.

When. school started in September, John, brace and all, was an active member of the junior

NOORDWIJKERHOUT (NC)Although the Dutch National Pastoral Council here voted overwhelmingly in favor of optional celibacy for priests, a Vatican press officer stressed in Rome that the Dutch council "is only a consultative body" and that its actions have no "juridical effect."

Following the vote by the Dutch council in favor of lifting the ban on married priests, however, a group of Dutch priests said that they will place married priests in parishes willing to accept ttlem without waiting for a new policy ruling by the Dutch bishops.

The, announcement was made by the Septuagint group, whose spokesmen said they regard the vote of the' council, representing clergy and laymen, as having closed the debate on celibacy.

Declaring that the organization will act as an action group to seek parishes ready to accept married priests, the spokesmen said five parishes had already expressed such willingness.
