CCD grew in 1969 with establishment of a center in Buzzards Bay to serve Cape Cod parishes with materials, and counsel. In operation six months, the center is heavily used.

A major event in 1969 was the organization of a religious education meeting at which 12 denominations were . represented and at which cO,operative projects were discussed in the fields of leadership training, the apostolate to the exc'eptional child and the sharing of audio-visual materials.

The January meeting, it is noted, influenced many ecumenical activities during' the remainder of the year.

CCD personnel, states the report, prepared a catalog of audio-visual supplies in the field of catechetics and distributed it to all parishes. In September the CCD merged its film library with

One, Joseph Dudek, had worked with her for 44 years, since she arrived at St. Vincent's as a young nun in 1926. The other, Joseph Lima, had been with her 24 years. The men have regular working hours. Sister Regis never did.

"She was in the kitchen from 5:30 in the morning until 7 or 8 at ,,~ight, seven days a week," said Father John Cronin, director of St. Vincent's. "She never took a day off."

Notes Problems Attending Authority and Freedom

" ~~<~: C;)

LEBANON (NC)-Discovering ways to exercise authority and freedom in a responsible manner is not as difficult as it is physically exhausting, a~cording to Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of Charleston, S. C. Speaking at III priests' workshop here in Pennsylvania, the Bishop of God, they miss the real definition of freedom," the Bishop emphasized that the chief said. hurdle arises when those He cited the Eucharist. as a who exercise authority and those who exercise freedom fail to realize both are gifts of God. "In the light of all the complexities these days," the Bishop asserted, "freedom and authority can be interpreted in many ways.

It is a delicate subject. It is almost as convtroversial today as was the subject of freedom and grace in earlier years."· He emphasized that all share in authority and freedom as human beings.

"All, Religious, priests and laity, with respect to their specific roles, exercise both freedom and authority. The laity exercise authority in the family, the Religious in their apostolates, and the clergy in their pastoral duties and in fulfilling their obilgations," he· observed.

Source In Rl!velatIolU The Bishop, cHairman of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' committee on the permanent diaconate, feels errors are possible in exercising both ~I'?edom and authority, because .m':' are part of the human deci~'::Q1i-~n!ll(ing process. "':lhis is an important concept.

F.'e... ~om llUr! authority must be r:pproachC'd with dialogue in mind. An extreme approach could result in negative reactions," he noted.

The "South Carolina brdinary advised that one way of prevent. Ing Such reactions is to "keep the channels of communications open."

Bishop Unterkoefler believes that while the exercise of authority in the Church has many parallels in the body politic, both freedom and authority, are developed from Revelation.

Miss Definition "Both freedom and authority, as they are known in the Church, are distinguished by Revelation from that which is based on a political constitution," he pointed out.

Speaking specifically on freedom and its various concepts, Bishop Unterkoefler said: "In our day there are many interpretations placed on freedom.

One of the more common is: 'I am free when I do what pleases me.' This can be a healthy attitude, despite the way it's expressed, if it means that: 'I am pieased when I serve God, when I serve the people responsibly, when I serve my neighbor.'''

When those who exercise freedom "neglect God, or neighbor, or when they neglect faith, when they "neglect Revelation, neglect the Church, the People

sacrament of freedom, "because the moment of communion in Christ is a moment of joy and freedom."

Bishop Unterkoefler made these comments on freedom and authority: "Man is free to reach out to' any' goal, but when he begins to exercise his freedom to make choices, he immediately begins to put limitations on himself, usuallY for the good of all other members of the community." '.'Free choices bring their limitations. The crisis within the priesthood may someday be resolved by going back to an analysis of the free choices people have made in earlier times. All were, by their nature, self-limiting."

Community Voice "Free choice is limited by. the external world that confines and sets up obstacles. Free. choice is limited by the individual himself, since he is in the process of becoming, of growing. He is never the same today as he was yesterday, so consequently, in exercising his freedom he is indeed limited."

"Unity can be damaged when there is no voice to speak for' the community." '

MILWAUKEE (NC)-Five high school students who were tired of grades, exams, and academic competition were the impetus for a new experiment in education here-the Milwaukee Independent School (MIS).

One of the students, Tim. Si·mone, said the five "were discussing the problem of change in the educational system last Summer." Since it takes a long time to bring about even "relati.vely minor changes such as the dress codes," he said, "we decided it would take to.o long for any really meaningful educational reforms. So we decided to start our own school and do it our way."

Their strategy for setting up the school was seeking legal advice, gathering funds and resources materials, and asking university representatives for their reactions. They saw their efforts take tangible shape when MIS opened with 36 students, aged 15 to 20, most of whom had dropped out of local schools to join the MIS "student body."

In a description of the new school, students said MIS "is based on the premise that 'education' should not be limited to 'schools' and the time spent in them, but rather that 'education' goes on 24 hours a day, in the community as well as. in the The oldest priest in the La 'school,' and that students can Salette Order died on Monday in and will educate themselves if Attleboro.

Sees - Education .

As Top Goal WASHINGTON (NC) - The Christian Democrats in Chile have made education their first priority, and their top man in that field offered some figures here in support.

"After five years of constant growth," said Education Minister Maximo Pacheco Gomez, "almost one-third of the national budget is being devoted to schooling some 2.5 million children and youths, and that's onefourth of all Chileans." Figures for 1964 had been 1.7 million pupils in school.

"Illiteracy rates came down from 17 per cent to nine per cent, and that is very good, considering the high average of Latin America," he added.

Experts say the average percentage of national budgets allocated to education is a little over 23 per cent. They estimate there are nearly 50 million illiterates in Latin America, with a yearly average of some 15 million children who cannot get into school.

WASHINGTON (NC)-The first nationwide conference en diocesan pastoral councils will pay close attention next month to the possibility of how soon-and in what form.L American Catholicism might get a national pastoral council.

Each of the 162 dioceses in the country-those already Ham Rademacher of St. Johri's CollegevillE!, Minn., will operating some sort of College, be disclosed at the lconference. I diocesan-level pastoral body Archbishop Paul Liebold hf and those with none--has been asked to send someone to the .

March 15-17 conference in Dayton at the Bergamo Center for Renewal. Over 200 are expected.

"There are as many different things called 'Diocesan Pastoral Council' as there are dioceses that have created such bodies but a pattern is beginning to develop," according to Thomas J. Tewey, field representative for the National Council of Catholic Men, which is sponsoring the conference.

Practical and theological matters affecting the creation of a national pastoral council - in which one day all 48' million Catholics across the nation would have a voice through representative laity, clergy and Re-' ligious-will also be looked into.

Between 40 and 50 dioces~s and archdioceses have pastoral councils at present, according to Tewey. The number has been difficult to pin down because. "some are not true and proper councils as yet," he added.

"Some dioceses have a steering committee which functions as a council and which is to bring a true council into being."

Chancellors Enthusiastic Lay people, pastors, chancellors and bishops involved in existing or planned diocesan councils will attend the conference.

The general theme is "Making Coresponsibility a Reality."

The history, structure and programs of three diocesan councils will be exaritined in detail. One is the Youngstown diocesan council, formed four years ago and. one of the earliest of the representational structures which the 1962-1965 Vatican Council encouraged in the Church.

The Men's Council has conducted a nationwide factual survey on pastoral councils. Tewey . said 11 0 replies were received, mostly from diocesan chancellors, and they showed "strong indications of enthusiasm for a national pastoral council."

Weak Faith Causes Inadequate Effort AACHEN (NCr-The aid given by rich countries to poor countries is inadequate because of the weakness of the Christian faith in rich countries, the secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples said here.

The Vatican official, Archbishop Sergio Pignedoli, told a meeting organized by the national Pontificial Missionary Society that "if the statistics are true, the rich countries are not giving even one per cent of their income· to poor countries."

The reason for this, he claimed, is "the weakness of religious conscience. Weare weak as 'social workers' because our Christian faith is weak. The only true way of advancing the cause of development is that of vitalizing the faith of our Christian communities.;;

Representing the U. S. Catholic Conference, the ad hoc unit Is investigating working conditions which are at the root of the long labor dispute. .

The Bishops' ad hoc committee is scheduled to report to the U. S. Bishops Conference in San Francisco on April 20 concerning the dispute which has been stalemated since negotiations broke down last Summer.

Comprising the ad hoc committee in addition to Bishop Medeiros 6f the Texas See are: Archbishop Timothy Manning of Los Angeles, Bishop Hugh A. Donohue of Fresno, Bishop Wal· ter W. Curtis of Bridgeport and Auxiliary Bishop Joseph F. Donnelly of Hartford. The Bishops have been assisted by Rev. Msgr.

George G. Higgins, USCC Urban Life division director of Washington, a weekly columnist in The Anchor.

Discussing their role, Bishop Donnelly said: investigate Facts "The Delano farm labor dispute came before the Bishops at their November meeting in' Washington, D. C. The Bishops decided that before taking any official action on the dispuate, it would be appropriate to assign an ad hoc committee to investigate the facts on the scene; to meet with the parties concerned, separately and jointly, and to persuade both sides to resume the negotiations which were broken off last July.

"The committee was authorized by the Bishops' Conference to take whatever action it deemed appropriate on the basis of the discussions with both sides and its own investigation of the situation. The fin!il report of the committee will be made by ~pril 1."

Bishop DonnelIy said the committee is not completely satis·' fied with the Fresno meetings and plans to invite union and grower representatives to another meeting around the middle of March.

The union, last September, called for a resumption of the uegotiations that were stalIed in July. It· also asked the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to help get both sides together again.

Because farm workers are not covered by the National Labor Relations Act, the federal mediators cannot act in the dispute unless both parties request their service.

Attends Episcopal Con~~D'atioln Rite ORLANDO (NC) - Catholic Bishop William D. Borders of Orlando marched in the procession and attended the consecration of Episcopal Bishop William Hopkins Folwell of Central Florida in the cathedral church of St. Luke here.

Bishop Borders is the first Catholic bishop to attend the consecration of an Episcopal bishop in this area. Three CathQlic pastors also were present.

Father Trunk always had been handy, with a paint brush.

For 22 years, he was pastor of St. \Joseph's church in Leadville, a town high in the Colorado RoclPes. While there he covered the church walIs and ceiling with paintings from the New. Testament.

Does Push-ups "The inside of the church needed painting very badly and contractors wanted $6,000 so I decided to do it myself. It cost $78 for scaffolding plus money for the paint," he detailed. The Leadville church now is regarded as a national Siovenian monument because Father Trunk's paintings are considered a fine example of primitive art.

Father Trunk doesn't paint anymore, but his days are busy and happy. He's up at 6 A.M. each morning, exercises for ,30 minutes. He does push-ups and bends strenuously, seldom misses a morning. Then he says Mass in a small chapel in Nativity church.

After Mass, he breakfasts, and returns to his "heaven." He spends most of the morning at his desk typing a weekly political column for a Siovenian newspaper published in Cleveland.

"Sometimes I feel tired' but I start writing and I feel better right away," he said.

After lunch, he's back in his "heaven" and reads until 2 P.M. when he takes an ofternoon nap.

His favorite books deal with politics and science.

Father Trunk, a priest for 75 years, attributes his longevity to self-discipline.

Urge United Effort Against Racism CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Paul F. Leibold called for a united effort by churches to root out both "personal racism" and ,"institutional racism" from American society.

"There is no higher claim on the nation's conscience," the archbishop told an audience at the ColIege of Mt. St. Joseph in a program sponsored by the Delhi Hills Community Action Group.

Joining him in the appeal for more vigorous efforts to overcome racial discrimination were the Rev. Charles H. Jack, director of the Council of Christian Communions, and Dr. Robert L. Katz, professor of human relations at Hebrew Union ColIege.

Archbishop Leibold reviewed the many statements of "the unchangeable Catholic position in' this matter of racial justice," including those of Pope Pius XII, of the U.S. bishops, and of the Second Vatican Council.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Two left-wing Italian weeklies have reported that Papal Secretary of State Jean Cardinal Villot submitted his resignation in protest against Pope Paul VI's unyielding stand on priestly celibacy, but the Vatican officially and causticly denied it.

The Holy See's press officer, Msgr. Fausto Vallainc, described the reports in L'Epresso and Panorama as "pretended revelations."

Of the. many details chronicled in L'Epress and Panorama, Msg. Vallainc's denial focused on "differences which were supposed to have arisen between the Holy Father and Cardinal Villot and which were suppjosed to have led the secretary of state to pre· sent his resignation."

Both Magazines said Cardinal Villot's . main concern was to keep lines of communication and understanding open between the Vatican and the Netherlands where the church has b~en pressing for optional celibacy.

According to both accounts, Cardinal Villot submitted his resignation to Pope Paul on Feb. I at a tense encounter a few hours after Pope Paul, speaking from his window to Sunday crowds in St. Peter's square, said the Latin-rite Church's law of priestly celibacy will remain in force and cannot even be subjected to comment.

Opens Community Services Office STEUBENVILLE (NC) - The Steubenville diocese here in Ohio has opened an Office for Com· munity Social and Economic Services under the direction of Father Anthony Giannamore.

Bishop John King Mussio said the office will serve to imple. ment the social program of the Church as outlined by Vatican Council II. The bishop named Father Francis F. Brown to direct the civil rights section of the office.

University Trims Tech Programs ST. LOUIS (NC) - Faced by rising costs, St. Louis University has decided to discontinue several technological education programs and focus instead on the nature of man and his environ· ment, according to Father Paul C. Reinert, S.J., university presi· dent.

Beginning in September, the university will accept no new students in electrical, civil and industrial engineering and engineering mechanics, Father Reinert said.

In addition, the university will seek to transfer in its entirety ownership and operation of the Parks College of Aeronautical Technol()gy, a four-year aerospace and engineering school, to some other public or private group.

The phasing out of the engineering courses means the vir· tual elimination of the College of Engineering and Earth Sciences.

The course programs being retained-in geology, meteorology and environmental sciences-will be incorporated into the College of Arts and Sciences.

Fatheri Reinert explained that, in reviewing the needs and assets of St. Louis University, "it becomes brutally clear that our resources are, and always will be, limited. If we were to distribute them across the 11 schools of the university equally, the result would be mediocrity for all. Hence, we are forced to identify our priorities."

Cites Economic Ills Of Latil1l America TOLEDO (NC) - Latin America suffers from dependence on "the international capitalistic svstem," which means that "fre· qilently our nations do not own any goods, nor do they have a say in economic decisions affecting them.".

This view was expressed by Jesuit Father Renato Poblete of Chile, at the annual Latin Amer· ica Day observance here. His message was linked to what Latin American bishops said at their 1968 meeting in Medellin, Colombia.

The dominant groups in Latin America, Father Poblete said, have interests and values identi· fied .with world capitalism and these groups "help to maintain a status quo situation which benefits them and perpetuates the external dependence and impoverishment of our countries."

One of the by-products of the present Catholic school crisis is the' attention being paid to what has so often and . too long taken for granted-the decades of dedication by . the religious teachers.

Now, with rising costs in Catholic schools and the numbers of vocation somewhat less 'and sOIrle religioJs opting to leave the religious life and enter other calling~, the crisis has spotlighted just how very rich the Church ' has been in the dedication of so many peoplE:.

It is unfortunate, of course, that a crisis has' to unveil this heroism. But, as is often the case, it takes a 'crisis to make others aware of heroism in those who have be~n dutifully and without publicity devoting themselves to causes. !

Rising. ,Morality

. A Harvard professor has said recently that he b¢lieves. that morality is on the rise, that there is a radic~l increase in the number of people reaching principled morallity. ~ ; ..

I t

He attributes much of this to the necessity peopl,'e have found of making judgements on such. vital issues as the Vietnam war,civil rights, awareness of the po~sibility of nuclear destruction and environmental dangets.· I

The realization is growing that to make judgements. on these issues involves an appeal to some sort of standdt b'" I ar , 0 some aSlc pnnclp es.

At the present time, the professor indicates, some people still feel that morality is relative. In lthe face M such a belief, however, their judgements would have on~y a transitory validity and it is. difficult to se,e how orie can call this morality at all-merely the mood of the mbment.

But it is a .good sign that there is an appeal ~o morality, to principles, to standards.' Now when tlie awareness comes that there must be unchanging moralit~.y and firm principles and standards that are roioted not in man but in God, then morality will really have come i6to its own. . !

Form Movement To Aid Biafra

LOS ANGELES (NC)

NOTRE DAME (NC)-A university of Notre Dame freshman is spearheading a movement among more than 1400 colleges and universities to join in forming Students for Biafran Relief.

Thomas Hamilton, national director of the program, returned from a weeklong tour through media, organizational, and gov'ernmental offices in New York and Washington with a strin~ of endorsements for the fledgling group.

He gained support from U.S. Sens. George Murphy~and Alan Cranston of California, Vance Hartke and Birch Bayh of Indiana, George McGovern of South Dakota, and Edmund Muskie of Maine.

Faculty and administrator at the university here are supporting the effort, including Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president, who is a coordinating advisor.

Funds raised by the organization will go to any reputable relief agency operating in the former Biafran territory, Hamilton said.

The Sisters of the Immacu-

were

forming a lay community open to both married and single persons "committed to the service of man in the spirit of the Gospels."

Nucleus of the new community will be those Immaculate Heart Sisters who have asked to be dispensed from their canonical vows and from the prescriptions of the Vatican's Congregation of Religious.

Anita Gaspary. president of the former order of Sisters. said "in order that we might fUlly develop the experiment in contemporary community life which We attempted to set in motion two years ago. Our repeated efforts to expand ,the structure of canonical Religious life did not meet with the approval of the Sacred Congregation."

She was referring to the documents of renewal. issued by the Immaculate Heart Sisters in October. 1967. and presented to James Francis Cardinal McIntyre. then Archbishop of Los Angeles. after overwhelming approval from the community of 560 nuns.

These documents outlined "experimentation in life style which is to begin' immediately and continue, with possible variations. through the period of experimentation set by Rome for all Religious orders of the Catholic Church." , Grateful foJ!' Service Archbishop Timothy Manning of Los Angeles issued the following statement: "On behalf of the archdiocese of Los Angeles we wish to express to Sister Anita and her companions our gratitude for the many years of service rendered as members of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"A free decision has been reached by each member to solicit a dispensation from the canonical vows and to join together under another commitment to apostolic activity. It is the action of the chapter and thereby becomes a non-canonical lay grouping.

"We are confident that the service to God and to people will be continued by them as they pursue this new form of life. Our prayers will follow them on the pathway they have chosen."

Light is thrown upon the link between the Eucharist and the offering of one's person in the Relgious state.

Among the symbolic acts suggested for the act of perpetual profession is the reading of the vows previously handwritten by the Relgious himself or herself, and the public signing of the vows at the altar.

ST. LOUIS (NC)-In, a break with a 16-year tradition, solicitation in this year's Archdioces21n Expansiop Fund campaign will be by direct mail rather than by doorbell-ringing parish volunteers, John Joseph Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis has announced.

Cardinal Carberry said most Catholics are well acquainted with the annual capital funds drive, and that their decisions and patterns of giving are not much influenced by a personal campaign solicitor. This year's appeal will be by mailed information and exhortations from the pulpit, he explained, Father Paul F. Kaletta, director of the drive, said the change makes the archdiocese of St. Louis the first in the nation ~o shift from a personal to a direl:~ mail campaign for capital funds solicitation.

Wonders If Long Lengt,hs Will Repeat '40's Conquest

Urges Support For School Aid

By Marilyn Roderick Between Mr. Nixon's war on inflation and concern over where skirt lengths are going to land, the consumer is buying with a cautiousness that hasn't been seen in years.

Things evidently have gotten to such a pass that in this past Sunday's New York "Backward step for mankind."

Times both Bonwit's and "I don't like them. I'm used to Lord and Taylor's took out the mini-skirts and like them. new style is a retreat to full page ads reassuring their This the thirties."

patrons that any skirt length at all would do for Spring and Summer of 1970.

Even the pattern books are offering the look for "Right Now"six months from now is anyone's guess. The merchandisers are trying to get the message across that we can all do our own "thing" and be mini, maxi or midi-just pick your "m" and wear it..

In all probability this will be quite true-at least through t:le Summer. But the Fall may well be a different story altogether.

Women are Wary Most females, especially those o f us who have experienced one "new look," are a bit wary of how this new length is going to look on us. Just a glance through high school and colle~e yearbooks are enough to give one the shakes.

Get a load of those sharplooking thick (it's a wonder we were able to get those penny loafers on) anklets, those long skirts just grazing the cuff, and you'll see the reason why we shudder just a bit when Paris· advises that the hemline is failing. Of course fashion never looks as out-of-date as it does in old snapshots but from all indications those snapshots are going to be mighy up-tO-date.

Unfavorable Poll I thought it might be fun to poll some of the male members of the school department as to what they thought of the longer skirt lengths. With a promise from me that their names would not appear in print their comments flew thick, fast and quite opinionated.

"A disaster! An offense to all mankind, horrible."

"It makes me feel I aged 20 years overnight. It's reminiscent of the 40's. Every woman dressed like that, whether 25 or 45, looked like an old woman."

"They ought to make the guys who design them wear them," this from my favorite redhead, and I don't mean Lucy.

Arthur Goldberg Joins Pope John Institute CHICAGO (NC)-Arthur Goldberg. former U.S. Supreme Court Justice and U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations. has been named to the board of trustees of the John XXIII International Institute. an ecumenical agency working to combat racism and poverty. and achieve world peace.

Goldberg. now a New York lawyer, is president of the American Jewish Committee.

The John XXIII International Institute was founded last year by the Chicago-based National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice but is sponsored by various faiths to promote Pope John's call for social justice in his "Peace on Earth" encyclical.

Edward Lamb, a Toledo, Ohio, industrialist, financier and attornef, is institute chairman.

BUFFALO (NC) Bishop .James A. McNulty of Buffalo has suggested a massive letterwriting campaign to area legislators urging support of a bill that would grant financial aid to parents of nonpublic school children on the basis of family income.

"A massive campaign of this type will indicate the sentiments of our people and convince legislators that the bill commands the interest of a large portion of their constituents," Bishop McNulty said.

Msgr. Leo E. Hammerl, diocesan S'uperintendent of schools, and Raymond J. Forton, director ot secondary education, met with lay teacher groups and parents from home-school associations working for aid to Catholic schools.

They emphasized the need for immediate action at the grass roots level to demonstrate support for the bill.

The bill is expected to come up for a vote in the New York legislature within the next six weeks.

"I hate them, it takes away from the appearance of a woman. u "Terrible, no erudite statement.

I don't like it. In some cases it's because basically I like to see what's there. Good or bad."

Not wanting to accept only one side of the story, I asked a few females the same question and their reaction was equally strong.

"Forget it."

"Ugly."

"Strictly taboo."

"I prefer the mini."

"I love the mini, greatest thing that ever happened to women."

From just a glance at public opinion it looks as if Yves, Mark and the rest of the boys are going to have a bit of difficulty convincing women (and men) that the midi is the look of the future. However at this mament I wish I had access to some of the newspapers of the fortiesI could hazard a guess that feeling at that time was running in the same vein, and this just before the "new look" became the only look.

Educationally Deprived Program for All Pupils JEFFERSON CITY (NC)-Missouri's top legal officer has ruled educationally deprived students' in private school of the\ state' may take part in special, federally funded programs, including those cond!Jcted by public schools personnel.

State Atty. Gen. John C. Dan-,. forth composed the decision at the request of state Rep. James F. Conway.

The decision said federal statutes and regulations were designed to make certain programs available to private school ,students-such programs as remedial reading, speech therapy, health services, guidance and counseling.

Public school personnel, paid with federal funds, "may provide such special services to elegible children" in public and nonpublic schools, the opinion said.

Committee to Suggest Cardinal's Successor BOSTON (NC)-A 13-member committee of bishops, priests and lay people has been established here to r.'_ake recommendations for the selection of a successor to Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston since 1944, whose retirement is expected in August.

Cardinal Cushing approved a resolution of the Priests Senate proposing the formation of the committee, the first of its kind in the Boston archdiocese.

The committee includes three auxiliary bishops, three officers of the priests senate, four nonsenator priests, two laymen and one lay woman.

The committee plans to conduct a pell of priests in the archdiocese to develop suggestions for the selection of Cardinal Cushing's successor. The group's recommendations will be forwarded t:> the Vaticaon.

Privilege' Jesuit Cites Important Role of Catholic Press in Reporting Changes.

CINCINNATI (NC)-Change is inevitable in the Church and the Catholic press has the "very important role" of reporting the news of the changing Church both courageously and responsibly. , Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., assistant professor of theology at Xavier university, spoke to the Catholic Library Associlition at its annual Catholic Press Day luncheon here.

Father Carter said that as the Church changes to become "better adapted to modern times," pain and suffering have to be expected. "But amidst this pain aM suffering, Christ wants us to maintain our peace of soul," he added.

Meanwhile, the "great privilege 'and great responsibility of the Catholic press is to present in a responsible and balanced manner' what's going on."

Follow Lead of Spirit This must be done with courage, he said, so that the peo. ple areinforI~ed and so that difficulties are "not swept under the rug." At the same time, there must be explanations of the changes and a reflection of the fact that "Christian life in any age is a combination of the traditional and the changing," of what is new and what is old.

Even the conservative-liberal polarization serves ,to enrich the 'I

Church, Father Carter suggested, "as long as the followers of both sides follow the authentic lead of the Spirit."

Thus, he said, the conservative "puts spec;ial emphasis upon the timeless and unchanging ele· ments of the Church" while the liberal "points out that there must always be renewal and adaptation in the Church."

Moreover, the fact that in some instances change is abused ought not to be cause for discouragement, since "every good gift of God has been abused," Father Carter said.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - For thEl first time in, the history of the Secretariat of State, the names of women employed have been published in the Holy See's annual yearbook.

The 1970 edition of the Annuario Pontificio has the names of five women, including two nuns and three laywomen, as employes of the Secretariat of State. Two other nuns are listed as employes of another office connected with the state secretariat, the Council for Public Affairs.

A Vatican spokesman confirmed that women have been employed in various Vatican offices for a long time and that at present there are 66 women employes on the payroll of Vatican offices.

'The names of four nuns named to staff positions' on the Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes have been carried in the Annuario for several years.

The Senate of Priests of the Diocese of Fall River met Friday afternoon with Rev. Msgr. . John' E. Boyd presiding. 22 sen- ' ators were pres.ent.

Following a discussion on the proposed constitution of the New England Conference of Priests' Senates, the Fa.ll River group by a vote of 19 to 3 has allied itself with other New England Diocesan Senates, whose proposes are: The Creation of a mutual forum for mutual deliberation on pastoral problems, for the de-. velopment and collaboration in policies and program of common interest among several senates and for the exchange of idea.s and information.

Also included will be the sponsorship of inter-diocesan projects and the recognition. of a common voice of all senates on issues affecting the priestly ministry in New England.

Baptist Minister Expresses Views On Ecu~enism

THE ANCHO~Thurs" Feb. 19, 1970

Pl'opose Prelate For Nobel Prize

SAN ANTONIO (NC)

Open lines of communicatiOl:t among Christians at the grassroots level are more significant than establishment of large, structured ecumenical organizations, a Baptist leader said here.

With this view in mind, it is doubtful there will ever be widespread Baptist participation in these ecumenical organizations, the Rev. Jimmy AlIen, newly-elected president of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, declared.

In Catholic-Baptist relations, Mr. Allen sees "a considerable move toward a higher degree of exchange of information and ideas."

He warned, however, "it would be an illusion to think bett~r communication necessarily 'means more agreement. Instead, the better the communication, the better the understanding and respect for disagreement."

Mentioning . several areas of Catholic-Baptist agreement, Mr. Allen cited interfaith concern on problems such as ,pornography, drug abuse, race relations, and poverty.

Common Ground In the field of social justice, Mr. Allen said all faiths "now have the realization of their responsibility for suffering people, a responsibility that has always been present" but on which the churches have failed to communicate due to "suspicion on both sides that the other side might be involved too much as a sectarian group. " Although he pointed to "wide gaps" in theological viewpoints, Mr. Allen said: "We do indeed hold a common grourid in respect for the religious authority that gives us an anchor in the shifting world."

Many Catholics and Baptists, he said, "are a little suspicious of the radical shift of liberal theology and it is not so much specifics as it is our respect for the responsibility of men to respond to an unchanging God." Cautious Attitude Mr. Allen said he does not believe there ever will be widespread, Baptist participation in ecumenical organizations such as the Texas Conference of Churches because "we have an attitude which is cautious of large, structured groups that tend to become authoritative.

We are extremely conscious of congregational autonomy."

Elaborating, he said, "We believe that unity is a matter of spirit rather than structure."

Mr. Allen said the ecumenical movement-"which came forth with a burst of energy from Pope John XXIII's excellent leadership"-is now in a "frozen stage."

He sees "a shock reaction setting in late" and attributes some of this "to the realization that structure alone is not all there is to ecumenicity."

, Pleasure in Work The superstition that all our hours of work are a minus quantity in the happiness of life, and all the hours of idleness are. plus ones, is a most ludicrous and pernicious' doctrine, and its greatest support comes from our not taking sufficient trouble, nor making it a real effort, to make work as near pleasure as it can be.

Share State's Concern for ,Urban Crisis Urges Continued Tax Exemptions 'for Churches HARRISBURG (NC) - Asking ,for continuation of tradi~iof\al tax exemptions for churches, the eicecutive director of the Pen'nsylvania Catholic Conference warned that "the entry of thE:! tax assessor into the sanctuary today could bring the state into the inner workings of churches tomorrow in ways impossible to foresee."

Howard J. Fetterhoff, testifying before the Special House Committee to Study Tax Exempt Real'~Estate, pointed out that churches do not enjoy unlimited tax immunity.

He said taxes are paid on property such as rectories, parking lots, and undeveloped landproperties not used for worship or for carrying out vital functions of education, sick care, and other charitable works.

Fetterhoff also pointed out that religiously affiliated welfare agencies "account for about one quarter of all the ongoing sick care and social services afforded to people needing these in Pennsylvania."

J;>iminishing Resources "In the interest of increasing demands on both our property and our personnel to continue these indispensable works," he

Editor Retires BELLEVILLE (NC) - Father Theodore Siekmann, editor of the Messenger, Belleville diocesan newspaper, has been relieved from the post because of illness by the six-man board of publications for the Illinois diocese. His successor has not yet been named.

declared, "we assert unequivocally that the traditional policy of the .General Assembly to grant tax exemption is still as fair and as feasible as it was at any time in our na.tion's history, and even more so."

Parishes, schools, and charitable agencies operated by the Church share the government's concern for the urban crisis shaking many communities today, Fetterhoff said, .

"At the same time," he added, "they also experience the diminishing fiscal resources experienced by municipal authorities."

While both Church and state

Establis~ Workshop

For Administrators WASHINGTON (NC)-The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education of the U. S. Catholic Conferenc~, in cooperation with the Catholic University of' America School of Education, will sponsor a workshop in governmental programs for non public school administrators, June 15-19, 1970.' .

The workshop' will be directed

by Dr. Edward R. D'Alessio, Coordinator, Governmental Pr-ograms, Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. .

Dr. D'Alessio said nonpublic elementary and secondary school students and staff members are now eligible to participate in a wide variety of federal educational programs, ranging from school lunch programs to vocational education, in addition to the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

"But the quantity and quality of such services received by children attending nonpublic schools," he told NC News Service, "is directly related to the administrator's knowledge of federal educational programs."

share in the responsibility of caring for the people's welfare, Fetterhoff said, "the Church's responsibility to provide suitable places of worship for its people is something which it has to bear alone.

Centuries of Tradition "This leads us to a consideration of tax exemption on property used for purely religious, as distinct from welfare or charitable, purposes," he said.

Fetterhoff said two centuries of tradition could be cited as a precedent for granting tax exemption to land and buildings used for worship by all churches in the United States.

Admitting, however that "no tradition goes unchallenged," Fetterhoff declared: "The question is not whether . our first 200 years justified this tradition, but whether it is still ,justified today. We assert that it is."

He cited a close relationship between free exercise of religion and tax exemption. "There is no evidence," Fetterhoff said, "that freedom of worship has diminished in the minds of present day Americans as a value to be cherished."

STOCKHOLM (NC) - Archbishop Helder Camara of Olinda and Recife, Brazil, has been proposed again as a candidate for the 1970 Nobel, Peace Prize, this time by three members of the Swedish parliament. â&#x20AC;˘ The three men', Evert Svensson, Lar Henrikson and BertH Zachrisson, all Protestants and members of the Christian SocialDemocratic Alliance, made their proposal in a letter to the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian parliament.

Earlier, Pax Christi, the international Catholic peace movement, proposed Archbishop Ca-" mara for the prize.

In their letter, the Swedish legislators cited Archbishop Camara's work among the poor of Brazil and his political efforts to improve social and labor legislation and to bring about land reform.

They also described the archbishop as a "leading promoter of non-violent methods of social change." In this capacity, they said, he is playing a key role in Latin AmE;rica.

They pointed to Archbishop Camara's international reputation. He had influenced the Second Vatican Council's statements on social justice and developing the poor nations, they said, and by participation in conferences in various countries had contributed to the understanding by persons in industrialized countries of the situation in the underdeveloped nations.

Seek Ordination NEW DELl-II (NC)-The Indian hierarchy is directing a formal request to Rome for permission to ordain a group of five Anglican ministers who' came into the Catholic Church last year. The decision, hitherto 'unannounced, was taken at the general meeting of the hierarchy last month.

a 10 Welfare

WASHINGTON (NC)-The nation's Catholic bishops have cabled Pope Paul VI their total support in upholding priestly celibacy. John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, informed the pope that the

American bishops are hold. h 109 to t e unwavenng position" on the issue they II

•

adopted before.

His telegram said the bishops of the United States "wholeheartedly join Your Holiness again in supporting the ideals and discipline of consecrated celibacy which have served the priesthood and the Church so well."

Pope Paul has been personally leading a vigorous defensive campaign against critics of the celibate rule in recent weeks as pressure for a change from ~andatory to optional celibacy in the Latin-rite priesthood has strengthened.

The Pope told a pre-Lenten audience of Rome diocesan priests in the Sistine Chapel that celio bacy enables a priest to devote himself to "the sole love of . Jesus" and the service of the people. He said it makes the priesthood more attractive as a vocation.

It was the fourth time in nine days that he had spoken publicly about celibacy.

The same day, the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy released details of a circular letter it said was sent last Nov. 4 to all the bishops of the world. The bishops were encouraged to gather th~ir priests together annually to renew their ordination commitments, especially those concerning celibacy and obedience.

New MassThe clergy congregation suggested Holy Thursday is a good time for this, and the Congregation for Divine Worship prepared a new "Mass of the Chrism" for that day. It contains a suggested formulation in which a bishop would recite before his assembled priests a series of renewal promises, and the priests would together respond "yes."

Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, general secretary of the Bishops' Conference in Washington, when asked by NC News if Cardinal Dearden's cable to the pope

Laity M@v@~ S~Qwly Toward ~G~~ell' Role DUNEDIN (NC}-The laity of New Zealand are moving slowly but steadily towards playing a greater role in the affairs of the Church. But the process is not without its difficulties and progress is at best uneven.

Nor are all the laity by any means assured that they want to be moved on. What has been done so far has shown that a good proportion of them are quite content with the way that things are and would not be averse to continuing in the old, well-worn paths of the past.

Not the least of the reasons for this is that, though "Vatican II" is an "in" phrase among many of them, the number who have actually studied what the Church said at the council is small, and as yet there is no effective program aimed at widening their understanding.

Like most Catholics, New Zealand members of the Church have long been accustomed to "leaving it to the bishop." The result is that unless the bishop in each diocese moves, there is little movement among the faithful.

Approves Priest In Advisory Post

BURLINGTON (NC) - They call it the "Eating a la Welfare" program.

Some 300 families throughout Vermont are participating in the program throughout Lent, getting a chance to sacrifice and also to experience how those on welfare rolls live.

It's a seven-day-a-week program which limits each person to 28 cents per meal, the average welfare meal budget.

The program, which orig-

ina.ted with the National Welfare Rights Organization, is supported by the Vermont Ecumenical Council, the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, the Burlington Ecumenical Action Ministry and several other organizations.

Rev. Howard O. Stearns Jr., executive minister, Vermont Ecumenical Council, said the response from Catholic and Prot· estant groups throughout the state has been encouraging.

.~

,

olic Bishops, has announced the Holy See has confirmed the English translation of the new Order of the Mass and other revised liturgical services, scheduled to be introduced in the United States on Palm Sunday, March 22. , ' The decision also affects the services ,of Baptism and marriage.

Cardinal Dearden noted the Holy See action will enable publishers to sp'eed up the distribution of official texts for insertion in altar books.

When the National Conference of Catholic Bishops approved the translations at its 'semi-annual meeting here last November, Ma'rch 22 was set as the first date for use but the NCCB left individual Bishops free to choose a later date. All dioceses must employ the revisions by Advent 1971. ' Marriage Service Other changes, requested by the American bishops, Were also made public. They include optional 'Use of white vestments at Masses and other services for the dead; violet or black vestments may also continue to be used.

For the marriage service either the revised text or the traditional fonnula may be recited by the bride and groom to' express consent.

The new form reads: "I take you to be my wife (husband). I promise to be true , to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life." The more familiar version is: "I take you for my lawful wife (husband), to have to hold, from this day for"."ard, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

Also in the marriage rite, a final blessing, not found in the Latin orginial, has been approved for the United States, ' Defer Decision In addition to the major English translations of the Mass, Baptism and marriage, a new version of the litany of the saints will be used. All translations are the work of the In. ternational Committee on EnglisJ1 in the liturgy.

Three requests of the American bishops, made at the November meeting, have been deferred to a later date. , They are a request for the reception of Communion a second time on a. day in special circumstances; for priests to celebrate Mass a second time in order to join in a concelebrated Mass and for a wider 'extension of Communion under both kinds at the discretion of the local bishop.

The Vatican is studying the three requests 'for possible inclu~ sion in a document affecting the entire Church, the Cardinal said,

COLOGNE (NC)-The bishops of the state of North' RhineWestphalia have asked that mandatory priestly celibacy be maintained.

In a statement released here, the bishcps of the Cologne, Aachen, Essen, Paderborn and Muenste.' dioceses recalled the decisions of the Second Vatican Council confirming the law of mandatOl'Y celibacy and declared their support of Pope Paul VI's recent statement defending priestly celibacy in the Latinrite ChUl:c".

The bishops said that as neighbors of the Church in the Netherlands, they have been asked by many persons for a statement of position on the current discussions of the celibacy question.

The Datch bishops have supported the Dutch National Pastoral Council in urging optional celibacy for priests and that priests who have married be permitted to return to their ministry.

In addition to the joint statement, Josef Cardinal Hoeffner of Cologne has released 10 theses defending obligatory celibacy.

The cardinal also defended celibacy in reply to a memorandum of the Munich Action Circle of Pries~ arnd,Laymen. In that statement, the cardinal stressed that priestly celibacy is "biblically founded," He admitted that the provisions of canon law on celibacy are certainly not of divine right, but said that it must be observed that celibacy is an important, if not the principal, idea of the New Testament and of high value to the priestly ministry.

Catholic. Schools Face Crises In Maryland ANNAPOLIS (NC)-Two cardinals and a bishop met here with Gov. Marvin Mandel and told him the closing of Catholic schools was "virtually a certainty" without prompt state aid.

Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle of Washington, and Bishop Thomas J. Mardaga of Wilmington presented Mandel with a report intended to illustrate the' "severe financial crises" facing Catholic schools in Maryland.

The five-page report by the bishops of the Maryland Catholic Conference said Catholic schools in the state would operate at a $10.3 million deficit next year without help from state funds.

The governor said after the closed meeting that he told the churchmen he does not plan to take a position on state aid to nonpublic schools until after a commission studying the question reports to him next year.

That will be after the 1970 elections.

Contributed Services Cardinal Shehan said Mandel was not asked to give outright support to Catholic school aid but simply to give "careful consideration" to the schools' financial problems. Legislation to give state funds to nonpublic education is pending in the state legislature..

The report given Mandel by the churchmen covered th~ cost of educating 83,767 students in diocesan and parochial schools In the state. It put the figure at $23.8 million-with only about $7.95 million coming from tuitions· ·and $5.7 million from the contributed services of Religious teachers.

The value of contributed services is the difference between what such teachers receive in Catholic schools and what they would be paid in public schools.

SurvlvaU Hs Ussnre The report noted that the annual cost figure did not include costs for capital ,improvements, school furnishings and borrowed money.

The prelates said the issue confronting Catholic schools is "not merely one of curtailment but 0 0 0 one of survival itself."

"We have no desire to abandon our schools and to ask the already overburdened public school system to absorb these students. But reality makes such an eventuality virtually a certainty unless these schools are given a prompt opportunity to continue their valuable program of public service," they said.

While noting that one bill pending in the legislature proposes state aid to nonpublic schools out of general funds, they said they did "not presume to suggest what form assistance should take."

Preparatory. Seminary Rector Explains Training of Colored Seminarians BAY ST. LOUIS (NC}-Increases in black vocations to the priesthood and Brotherhood will come when black seminarians are assured "that the Church, through the bishops, is seeking to open up leadership positions" for Negro clergy. This is the prediction of Father Leonard J.

and Brotherhood of the Society of the Divine Word.

Father Olivier, who was reared in the same (Sacred Heart) Lake Charles, La., parish as Auxiliary Bishop Harold Perry of New Orleans, cited in a recent interview these trends among Negroes having religious vocations in the Catholic Church in the United States: Ordinations of blacks to the priesthood have increased from o~e in the \920s to 13 in the 1930s, to 23 in the 1940s, and to 52 in the 1950s. Total figures for the 1960s are not yet available.

There are currently an estimated 185 black diocesan and Religious . priests in the U. S. Catholic Church, which has an estimated 800,000 Negro members. An estimated 303 black Brothers and more than 1,000 black nuns serve in various religious orders.

Seek Leaders "Negro people want more decision-making power in housing and employment," Father Olivier observed, "and they are looking for people to lead them.

ual Catholic Church leaders have failed Negroes in the past generally, Father Olivier said, there are now more openings for seminarians from diocesan divinity schools and religious orders, To have more than a single (Bishop Perry) Negro in the U. S. hierarchy would put a "better image of the Church before colored Catholics," in the seminary rector's opinion.

Document'Reveals Viet Cong Atrocities in My Lcii Area

SAIGON (NC) - Viet Cong leaders have confirmed that some of their own people committed atrocities in the same area where U. S. soldiers are accused of killing innocent civilians.

A Viet Cong directive of last October, seized recently, complains th~t "the killing of 12'year-Old children, their parents and, relatives, occurred in some areas."

The document refers to incidents in the province that includes My Lai hamlet, scene of the alleged G.I. atrocities of March 1968.

The directive had been sent to a "Comrade Tao," It stated that "the most serious thing was the secret executions being. carried out by a number of individuals of the Party Committee in hamlets, districts and villages.

The "abuses," as the directive called them, "have occurred daily since T25, thus lowering the revolutionary spirit of the people. As a result we were unable· to gather the people's forces together to defeat the enemy and oppress the guilty reactionaries. ".

There is no explanation for the time reference "T25."

Follow up investigations were neglected so that "detainees were not further interrogated after six, eight or· nine months of detention. Some prisoners became ill and died due to the lengthy confinement and others were liberated by the enemy when he launched surprise rescue attacks. This damaged the prestige of the revolution."

The document does not say whether it was incompetence or carelessness but poor intelligence work that prevented the Viet Cong from making the most of attacks against,the enemy. ' "The long trial and judgment of cases detained without proper proof and valid reasons and the unmethodic, lacking-in-depth interrogation have resulted in an impossibility on our part to accurately decide each case and exploit all the necessary information on the enemy with which to expand the scope of our attacks against him."

The document complains of personal prejUdices in that "the implementation of the Party regulations on the oppression of reactionaries was not strictly conducted, each one acting at his own discretion."

"Where Does All My Money Go!" .. Where does all my money go? Don't we often ask ourselves that question at the end of the week, or at the end of the month-when the bills are due?

You might also ask that question in this way: "Where does my money go. when I eorntribute to the mlsslorns?"

When you have contributed to The' Society for the Propagation 'of the Faith your money might have been spent in any one of the following different ways: llt could have provi«lled a II1Iaalve catechist with bQoks to be used in his teaching. Or It· mfight have paicll for part or his sahnry. ($UO.OO a month) Or it mIght have allowed a younll1g man

to begIn his eatechetieall trlllining.

Your gift might also have helped to keep going an orphanage in Japan, or a traclle school In the Con~o, or a elinlc in Taiwan.

Your sacrifice might have provided a jeep for a priest in the deserts of India, library books for a seminary in South America, or medicine for a leprosarium in Indonesia.

Or perhaps your girt WillS sent to one of the missionary Bishops to help pay the monthny bills of his diocese. It Is a fact that many mission dIoceses could not run--could· not even exlstwithout the help of generou!I friends of the Society.

All these things--and more-were accomplished last year because of YOUR sacrifices. 1 he Society holds nothing back; nothing is saved, nothing iii invested. Your money is sent immediately to where it is needed most.

Lent is a perfect time to begin sacrificing for the missions.

Set something aside each day or each week during this Lenten season and send it to us foil' the missionary work of the Church.

Your gift will soon be, on its way to where it Is needed most.

What the Society does this year depends entirely on YOU. Your sacrifice IS important-Please make it count! Give what you can, today!

rather discerning Essay for the week of Feb. 2, as "a land of teeming passions and deep-seated, almost irreconcilable disagreements." Some of them "accept the class-warfare theories of Karl Marx; most of them owe a con· siderable deb t to Progressive His tor ian Charles Beard, who interpreted the American past as an economic struggle between haves and have-nots.

Though t~ere is undoubtedly something to be said for the re-' visionists and their angry approach to the American past, I would agree with Time's essayist when he faults them as a group, for imposing "too strict a pattern on the chaos of history."

Another way of saying the same thing is that too many of the revisionists tend to be doctrinaire polemicists first and historians second and that "by concentrating on inexorable social and economic forces, they do not make sufficient allowance for political, cultural and psychological forces." illustrates Weaknesses The Time Essay goes on to say that this weakness on the part of the revisionists shows up especially in their desperate neoMarxist attempt to demythologize American foreign policy by interpreting it almost exclusively in terms of the class struggle.

Howard Radosh, a young revisionist from the.history faculty at Queens College, is a case in point. His new book, "American Labor and United States Policy," (Random House, New York, $10), graphically illustrates almost all of the weaknesses of revisio~ism when applied, along the lines indicated above, to the field of foreign policy. , .

Radosh would probably classlty himself as a neo-Marxist - radical. So be it. He is perfectly free to argue, in any forum to which he can gain access, that what this country needs is a radical Socililist ~ovement (including a a Sociahst labor movement) which will reject or "transcend" the existing social system.

Historians have just as much right as anybody else to take this tack if that's the way they feel about the matter. But historians, of all people, are not free to bend the facts of history to suit their own political theories ·and/or prejudices.

Corporations' 'Junior Partners' But this, it seems to' me, is what Professor Radosh has done with a terrible vengeance in his new book, "American Labor and United States Foreign Policy."

He does so by interpreting labor's foreign policy exclusively and very dogmatici111y in terms of his Qwn neo-Marxist ideology.

Anglican Prelate Defends Missionell's LONDON (NC)-An Anglican bishop who worked in what was Biafra has defended Catholic missioners who were sentenced to jail for entering the country without Nigerian government permission.

"Many of us would, I know, be proud to share with them so honorable an imprisonment," declared Bishop C.E.I. Cockin in a letter to the Times of London.

He was referring to sentences of six months at hard labor passed upon 21 Catholic missioners in Port Harcourt on Jan. 27.

After one week of imprisonment their sentences were commuted and they were deported from Nigeria along with nine other Catholic missioners who had been fined. All had been convicted of entering Nigeria. illegally, and some also of working without a Nigerian government permit.

CHICAGO (NC) - Three more top lIIinois political leaders have addE!d their support to some form of aid to nonpublic schools.

They are Superintendent of Public Instruction Ray Page, Secretary of State Paul Powell, and State Auditor Michael Howlett. They join Gov. Richard Ogilvie and Lt. Gov. Paul Simon, who earlier spoke out in favor of the aid.

In another development, John Cardinal Cody of Chicago asked the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Men for support in the campaign to obtain state funds for nonpublic schools.

Declaring the need to be urgent, Cardinal Cody said, "We're not asking for a favor. We're asking for recognition of a .right." He referred to what nonpublic school officials call a right to "a fair share of our tax dollar."

Page recently told delegates to the lIIinois Constitutional Con.vention in Springfield the Assembly should find a way to allow legislative action to nonpublic schools.

Powell, in Sauk Village, 111., declared: "The main problem of Catholic schools collapse would be to the taxpayers of Illinois."

NLlns to Withdraw Frc)m Central School CONCORD (NC)-The Sisters of the Holy Union will withdraw . from Rose Hawthorne Central School, a million dollar elementary and secondary unit constructed here in 1953, because of a shortage of personnel.

Rose Hawthorne is the second major educational institution to announce a phase out here and the 10th school of the Boston archdiocese closing in this academic year.

Sister Ruth Elizabeth, principal of the secondary division and Sister Lucille, Elementary director announced the decision to close the schools, originally founded 20 years ago, in a letter to the parents of 650 students.

: ~ Ice Hockey Becoming MajorCape Winter Competition

..~

By PETER J. BARTEK Norton High Coach

Southeastern Massachusetts annually sends strong contingents to the Massachusetts secondary schoolboy basketball' tournament and this year the area will again be well represented. However, while the Tech is in progress, another schoolboy tournament will may come true. Meanwhile, Fall be the focal point of interest Ri~er:and ~t!I~~oro are considermg the feaslbdlty of constructf or many Grea t er Bos ton ing ice rinks. sports enthusiasts. But, to Until that time, the minibe sure, that tourney, the State schoolboy hockey championships will receive very little attention in ,.the southern section of the C~mmonwealth.

If everything goes according to plan, however, it will not be too long before this area is also send.ing ~trong representation to the Ice rmk tQurncy. When the . " time' 'arrives the representative will undoubtedly come from, of all places, Cape Cod. Presently, only four high schools within the diocesan territorial limits offer hockey on a competitive basis. The schools, all Capeway Conference clubs, are Lawrence High of Falmouth, Dennis - Yarmouth Regional, Bourne and Barnstable.

The teams have their own league which, hopefully, will be expanded to include all Capeway Conference schools. If the proposed New Bedford skating rink becomes a reality, then the wish

league will continue to function as a phase of the Cape hockey program that includes both prehigh, school and post-graduate leagues.

The youth hockey program is divided into two units the Pee Wee and Bantam DiVisions'. In .the Pee Wee group, there are' six clubs, in the Bantam four teams battle for division h~nors.

WHen the schoolboys are not skating, both the Falmouth ice arena and the Kennedy Memorial rink in Hyannis are being used by the clubs in the Cape Cod Amateur Hockey League.

With a program so well defined, the forecast for a State hockey championship is encouraging. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, hockey will be played from the Attleboros to Cape Cod, and, Southeastern Massachusetts will be sending strong clubs to both state tour. naments-basketball and hockey.

Hoopsters Ready for Tech Tourney The hoop season is rapidly drawing to a close with only a few scheduled games remaining.

Lawrence High of Falmouth has won the Capeway Conference Championship, Durfee High of Fall River is the Bristol County titlist and Case High of Swansea is home free in the Narragansett League pennant race.

All are expected to rate with the best in {heir respective classes in the Tech tourney. The only championship that has not yet been decided is the Cape & Island League which will go to the victor of the Nauset-Harwich game slated this week.

However, before the Cape schools leave for the Boston classic, the leaders in both the Capeway Conference and the Cape & Island circuit will meet ir. the Principals' Tournament to determine who reigns supreme on the Cape.

At this writing, it is impossible to determine exactly who the participants in the tourney will be, but the consensus is that Lawrence High of Falmouth is the team to beat.

0 Coach Ray Charron's Clippers; the sole qualifier to date, will have to wait to find out who they play in opening round competition. Their opponent will probably be the loser of the Nauset-Harwich tilt.

The C & I contest loser will have to stave off a rally by third place Martha's Vineyard, now in third place, in order to compete in the tourney.

In the larger school league, Barnstable was engaged in a neck-and-neck fight for second place with Dennis-Yarmouth.

The campaign ended in a deadlock. The teams will meet in a play-off to determine which will go to the Principals' Tournament.

Ed Casey of New Bedford

Seeks Golden Gloves Heavyweight Title Won Fight With 'Best Punch, I .Bver Threw'

It was just a year ago this month tha t Ed Casey graced the sports page of The Anchor. It was Golden Gloves tournament time, and the New Bedford heavyweight had

something to prove. He promised he'd win the Southern New England championship and earn a berth in the New England Championships. "I really believe I can win the New England heavyweight weight Championship trophy lay title this year," said Casey shuttered on the ring floor of Lowell's Memorial Auditorium, in his usual optimistic tone. the result of a hard right by A championship would more, Lenny West of Albany, N.

Casey was dejected by the setback but vowed to "win it all" next year.

Last May, Casey reported to Fort nix, N.J. for the six-month army stint. When .he obtained his release from active duty, he had trimmed down to a svelte 196-pounds. He wasn't out a week, when he already had four days of training in the New Bedford YMCA gym.

Ed was training hard for this year's Golden Gloves competition and was eager to climb into Full River's Bank Street Armory ring (site of the competition).
