ASUNCION (NC)-Archbishop' Ismacl Rolon of Ascuncion said he will not participate in meetings of the Council of State until the regime of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner stops "the open violations of basic human rights" as well as the anti-Church measures in Paraguay.

According to the Paraguayan wnstitution, the archbishop of Asuncion is automatically a member of the Council of State.

The Paraguayan bishops, however, have repeatedly tried to have this constitutional provision deleted; .

Archbishop Rolon's refusal to. attend Council meetings provoked irate replies from 'other members of the Council. Interior Minister Sabino Montanaro, once excommunicated for his part in police repression of priests and nuns as weIl as lay leaders, charged that the archbishop is "violating his oath to honor the constitution."

Raul Pena, head of the education ministry, said Archbishop Rolon's note stating his refusal to attend Council meetings is "full of stupid lies."

Justice and Labor Minister Saul GonZalez said the note was ,

3

part' of the the Church's "sy:;tematic opposition" to signing a concordat with the government. and added the prelate erred in saying his presence in the council would seal his "political dependence" on the regime.

Archbishop Rolon took his dath of office for the council at the end of January during a ceremony in the government palace.

But the oath, he explained in his note. to the council states that "the laws of God and of the Church are left untouched."

"The Church itself has been deprived of her freedom of expression and of communication," the archchbishop said in his note.

Personnel· Bureau NEW DELHf (NC).,-The Indian Bishops' Conference has set up a missionary personnel bureau to make the services of priest or lay volunteers available to the country's missions. The bureau wiIl coIlect offers of service from priests, Brothers, Sisters, seminarians and laymen and put them in touch with missionary bishops or institutions that arc in need of their services.

However, present Irish events themselves have' unmasked Bernadette for 'just V{hat she' is and while her fellow Irishmen continu'e to oppose the invasion of their country, Bernadette now goes on her own course of lecturing Americans in . t.he philosophy of' international Communism. ,Bernadette Devlin by her own words has aban· donel! her 'fellow Irishmen.

While her neighbors' . and friends are fighting for their

very malicious disguise of helping her people in their cause for 'justice, Miss' Devlin commenced her crusade at American expense for her ideal of social struggle.

Not being satisfied with her own country's plight, she now rebukes Americans in, their efforts tQ free the working class.

She has openly rejected the gov, ernment of this. country and has aspired to the devotional and sincerity of all those who oppose "fascism" 'be it Vietnam or the United States. In other, words, what we' are. presently seeing is 'a political novice mal5ing hay to the expense of her own people and the people of this country. Miss Devlin has used every t.rite phrase, and every obsolete 'thought of the radical left. ShlJ is no heroine to the Irish and she is projecting a false image of the true st.ruggle that exists in. Northern Ireland .

It expressed its concern and hacking for the recent statement hy the Massachusetts Bishops on the question .of abortion -and the possible rela?,alion' of the law in this state.

The priests proposed tI~at its representatives recommend to the Massachusetts Council of Churches and 'its Right to Life Committee that a forum be established for. the discussion of all moral princip'les dealing with all phases of human life-its beginning, transmission and termination-from the scientific and theological points of view.

The Senate also recommended that the by-laws of the present diocesan pension plan for priests be amended to add three.. priests and a competent professional member of the laity to the ·present pension review board, ,and that the present pension plan be re-evaluated by the- review board.

The poll being tAken up throughout the diocese on !he spirituality of the priesthood also received strong endorsement from the priests senate. It encouraged all pri~sts, religious and the. laity to express their sincere opinions so that a true ,evaluation may be forthcoming for, the Bishops' Synod in Rome this Fall.

Judge Blocks New. Anti-Obscenity Law LOS ANGELES (NC)-A U. S. District Court judge here has· blocked the U. S.

' The law. which provides that'-' sexually oriented mail must be so labeled and allows persons who do not want such mail to be _listed as such with maile;s, went into effect Feb. 1.

The bloodshed will not cease,the bombings will not stop or ·the soldiers leave until a basic unity of purpose and good will are restored among the many factions that divide Bernadettes homeland.

Celia Mumphrey, an elegant widow of 59, has come to the home of. her son-in·law and daughter to look after her three grandchilden while their parents are on a brief holiday. She means to make herself perfectly comfortable during her stay.

But then the other grandmother, Mrs. Boone, comes unexpectedly and uninvitedly on the scene, and a duel between these decidedly different women begins. !'Ms. Mumphrey is determined to oust the interloper; Mrs. Boone resolves "to stay at all costs.

Witty Comment

I

The contest, deadly if always polite, is most amusingly presented. It takes one inventive turn after another, and the narrative is studded with small gems of observation and witty comment.

Louise Field Cooper can be depended upon to offer astute character sketches, dialogue at once plausible and gleaming, and a chuckling sympathetic appreciation of human foibles. In this instance, however, the device which she uses to bring .her story to a climax strikes one as far-fetched, and once it has been introduced, the silken continuity cannot be resumed.

Kinds of Love Really rural New England is the locale of May Sarton's novel, Kinds of Love (Norton, 55 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10003. $6.95). It is a longer and more serious' work than One Dragon Too Many.

It deals with the community of Willard, a very small town in New Hampshire, soon to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founding.

The Chapmans are a Summer family. Rich Bostonians, they have been lighting here for generations. Thee> present senior members of the family, Cornelius Chapman and his wife Christina, are now about to spend their first Wnter in Willard.

They are both about 75. Cornelius has suffered a stroke, is making a slow recovery, is unprccendentedly dependent. Christ ina, as elegant as Mrs. Mumphrey in the Cooper book. is

Extraordinary People The town is, they find, a web in which all kinds of lives meet and are somehow woven together. The people are far from cQmmonplace; they are in fact, quite extraordinary. .

For example, Miss Plummer, the librarian, had seemed no more than a joke and a. bore. But there was heroic quality in her, and subtle ifltelligence.

The powers of endurance of the permanent residents are exemplified by Ellen Comstock, a contemporary of Christina. Ellen has had a cruelly hard life in her years of marriage to the violent Rufus, now deceased. She has always had to' work for mere sustenance, has never had the opportunity to get away. Two of her ·three children have left Willard, and the one who remains, Nick, causes her constant worry.

Leisurely Novel Over the long Winter, COl'nelius and Christina accept their limitations and acquire some wisdom. Where they were strong, they now are relatively weak, and in this weakness they begin to see as never before.

What they, and others, draw from Williard is a. kind of tough comfort. From it they' learn the consolations of adversity.'

This is a leisurely and seemingly meandering novel, but it never lags, and is is peopled with believ'able and variegated characters of all ages.

In their differing propensities and capacities, they convey the many kinds of love to be found in human relations: the first love of the very young, the quiet yet deep love of the very old, the love of a servant for the woman employer she tyrannizes, the love of place, the. love of creatures and beauti,es of nature, and so on.

The Pa,ragon John Knowles' novel A Separate Peace, published a decade ago, quickly became a minor classic. It was laid in a boys' preparatory school and depicted the mysterious impact of character on character in the relationship of two of the youngsters.

Now, in The Paragon (Random House, 457 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. 10003. $8.95), Mr. Knowles moves on to Yale and writes of two ill-matched roommates. One doubts that the' new work will have anything like the popularity of its predecessor.

One of the roommates is Lou· Colfax, an eccentric from a family of eccentrics. He is just back from the Marine Corps, has no money, dresses bizzarely, and is a brilliant daydreamer. The other is Gordon Durant, wealthy, snobbish, imperious, in many ways stupid.

There is conflict, and ultimately some measure of mutual understanding and acceptance.

But by the time this is achieved, the reader simply does .not care.

Growers Favor

. THE HOLY FATHER'S MISSIOII'I AID TO THE ORliENTAL CHURCH

Labor Unions WASHINGTON (NC) - Jesuit Father Cletus Healy, long-time foe of Cesar Chavez' farm worker unionization efforts, told a national gro'wers association meeting . here . that California field' hands are better off working under' the growers ·than Chavez' union.

The Jesuit priest also criticized the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Farm Labor that last Spring successfUlly persuaded the growers and Chavez' United Farm Workers Union (UFWOC) to settle the five-year grape pickers' strike at the bargaining table.

Father Healy charged the committee had sided with the farm worker in the dispute. Spokesmen for, the committee, which has' been praised for its fairness by the bishops, have denied similar charges of bias made in the past by other critics.

Citing "commendable" wages and "high quality housing" provided by the growers for farm workers, Father Healy said the growers' farm labor system. comes much closer to achieving justice than Chavez' union.

Two California growers, who also addressed the gathering, said, however, that the industry had to share. the blame for the farm-labor tensions. They said growers had not always paid adequate wages or pushed for needed social legislation.

The time had come, they added; for growers to .accept unions.

The reason is that Mr. Knowles. has kept going off on tangents, perpetrating improbabilities, and failing, to establisq a core of coherence.

"Strong sense of values." I did find the bed sheets in the supermarket a nickel cheaper than any place else. And by buying bread late Saturday afternoon, you can get it for halfprice. And the sneakers that cost twice as much, last three times as long as the "bargains."

"The ability to build." There was that 100-foot cement wall we built in the garden. And look nt the size of my family! " ... to sustain." If necessary, I can make one week's groceries last 10 days. "... to endure." I've stayed with this group for 16 years, but I wonder if I'm confusing inertia with endurance.

"Somewhat fanatical ideas." I keep expecting my children to &et along with each other.

Things to Say "Outspoken, highly independent personality." With eight children in the house. I generally have a few things to say about untidy rooms, unfinished chores, and unreported trips, to anywhere. I even cling to that outmoded idea that just because I'm the mother. I have the right to censor their selection of TV programs.

"Fitfully enthusiastic." My en路 thusiasm certainly comes in spurts: On odd occasions I get all fired up about house cleaning, and it generally finishes up rather fitful.

"Buoyant." I float pretty well.

"Easily swayed by environment." When I consider living with these kids, I'm not only swayed, Lalso feel a little faint.

"Many short journeys but. dis: like for some." Those trips to the supermarket-I hate them.

solutely correct. I 'study the mess" in my kitchen, ask whose "day" it is, and reach the logical conclusion that it is going to take more than the child's sense of responsibility, to 'see that the job gets done.

"Witty and humorous method of expression." That's something, of a latent spirit. The wit'ty comeback always ,strikes me about two hours after it 'would have been appropriate.

"Will use knowledge profitably." I was a whiz in math in school, which has enabled me to develop "Carson's Law." "The confusion in a household is directly proportional to the square of the number of children."

Whether or not it's profitable depends on whether knowing the source of the problem is any aid in the solution.

Pia ns "Apostol ic ' Career' .Center .F,or ' Si.sters· DETROIT (NC) - Creation\. of an Apostolic Career Center for Sisters has been announced here by Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit as an outcome of con·, ferences with the major ~uperi­ ors of Religious orders of women here.

The' center, to be associated with'the Archdiocesan Personnel Office, ,which previously was concerned only with lay employes, will seek to find positions befitting Sisters' talents and training.

Cardinal Dearden explained that most of those the center expects to serve will be teachers - Sisters and "Brothers -- to' be displaced by closings of many financially - pressed Cat h 0 Ii.c ' schools in June.

Auxiliary ·Bishop Thomas J. Gumblet9n of Detroit commented that "many pastors are enthusiastic about the future of Sisters in the pastoral work of the Church.

"Sisters are very versatile," he said, "and it is not at all unusual to find Ph.D. holders in their ranks or holders of triple master degrees. Their field of possible parish service is unlimited, both. in conventional and' - post-yatican roles. Many would make ideal pastoral aides."· Traditional positions open to Sisters cited by Bishop Gumbleton' induded' music director, religious education teacher, or program' coordinator, cateehetics trainer, audio-vi~al technician, or even clerk or typist.

Parish Functions Less traditional might he careers involving- visits to the sick and the old, 'bringing Holy Com'munion as extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist.' Many Sisters would be qualified, to be' counselors. to individuals and families _on such subjects as , ', .. ,'available hea'lth reso'urCes,' bud-' geting and child development. .They could be tutors, engage in' adult education, extend technica'l assistance to parish wor· ship committees,. train· aColytes and lectors, and perform many other parish functions now largely in the hands of priests.

"This does not exclude important 'tasks within the archdiocesan structure,' many .of which already are :filled by Sisters," Bishop Gumbleton said. "And, of 'course,' many of the 25 archdiocesan vicars may wish to open employment to Sisters able to act as resource persons, expediters and managers of the many vicariate programs now existing or coming into existence."

Part- Tilme p'rieslfs' LUSAKA (NC) - The, Roman ,Cathplic Bishops' Con'ference of 'Zambia is considering petitioning the Vatican for permission , to establish a system of "supplementary priests" to relieve the , critical shortage of clergy here.

Supplementary priests would be men regularly engaged in secular occupations who, after- training, would bc' ordained to serve as priests on a part-time basis.

. WASHINGTON (NC) Dr. Chapmal) H. Binford. a 70-yearold pathologist. has been named the recipient of the 1971 Damien-Dutton Award for outstanding efforts to eradicate Hansen's Diseasc--Ieprosy-and to ,rehabilitate its sufferers. , Dr. Binford is medical director and chief of the pathology research laboratory of the Leonard Wood Memorial and the American Leprosy Foundation. and chief of the Special Mycrobacterial Disease Branc~ and registrar for leprosy of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington.

U. S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, chairman of the 1971 World Leprosy Week. Feb. 1421, will present Dr. Binford the award before the statue of Father Damien DeVeuster in the U. S. Capitol.

The Damien-Dutton Society, which sponsors the award. is named for Father Damien and Brother Joseph Dutton who worked among leprosy sufferers on Hawaii's island of Molokai.

Forms Association To Help Writers TAIPEI (NC) - The Chinese are avid readers and television has done little to change this.

With a high literacy rate of 97 per cent and nine years compulsory schooling. the reading pub· lic in Taiwan grows daily.

Jesuit Father George Donohoe from San Francisco, realizing that writers obviously exert considerable influence, established the Young Writers' Association at the Cardinal Tien Educational Center here in the techniques of journalism and other writing.

RENEE. SOULARD "You can't magine how rewarding it is to see what you've done being' used at the Mass," Renee exclaimed. "That first time' Father 'wore his, at Mass in August! And then at mid-. night Mass at Christmas, to see both of the vestments on the altar! It was quite a thrill for me."

That midnight Mass was made even more beautiful by altar cloths made· by Renee for two new altars given to the church, and by n~w white monk-style altar boys' robes made by mothers of the boys.

Mrs. Soulard p.as been sewing for, many years. "My mother taught me the rudiments of sewing and mending. embroidery and so forth," she explained• "but I ddn't use it much until after I was married. When the children .started coming along I bought a sewing machine. took lessons, and I've been sewing ever since, including stuffed anim,!-Is .and toys for the children."

After she finishes her current orders, Mrs. Soulard will probably receive more requests.

"It's not hard but it's very timeconsuming and requires a lot'of exacting work," she said. But she added, "It's wonderful to see the smiles on the priests' faces when they put them on. It's worth every bit of, effort put into them."

VaticanOfficials, Religious Discuss Mutual Problems ROME (NC)-Three representatives of American priests and Brothers .belonging to Religious orders in the United States spent three days here discussing mutual problems with officials of the Vatican and of the International Union of Major Religious Superiors.

The three arc Passionist Father Paul Boyle of Chicago, president of the Conference of Major Superiors of Religious Men in the United States, and two other officials of the conference, Jesuit Father Walter Farrell of Detroit, and Christian Brother William Quinn of Washington, D.C. Father Boyle said they met with Cardinal I1debrando Antoniutti, prefect of the Congregation for Religious; American Holy Cross Father Edward Heston, secretary of the congr~ga­ tion and other Vatican officials during a three-day visit here.

The three also met the top officers of the International Union of Major Religious Superiors, headed by Jesuit General Father Pedro Arrupe.

Exchange Views Father Boyle said the discussions, the third in a period of a year, were "encouraging" and that both sides exchanged ideas and views freely.

Discussions included means of improving communications between the U. S. conference of Religious men and the various Vatican offices.

The three American Religious also discussed post-conciliar changes in the training ,of Religious seminarians, the movement toward "small group living" among Religious as opposed to the more traditional and larger community life.

Another topic was how can American Religious contribute to the preparation for the forthcoming Synod of Bishops in the Fall of this year, which will have as its principal subject the priesthood,

Proteders Heckle Pact's Obselrvance ROME (NC)-The 42nd anniversary of the signing of the Lateran pacts by which Vatican City became a soverign state in 1929 was marked at a Roman palace with a diplomatic recep" tion inside and protesting demonstrators outside.

The reception was an annual one given by the Italian ambas: sador to the Holy See, Gian Franco Pompei, and attended by Cardinal Secretary of State Jean.

Villot, many Vatican diplomats and other diplomats from countries accredited to the Holy See.

Finally Ordained ROME (NC)-Almost 20 years late, two Slovaks whose aspirations to the priesthood had been balked by communist Czechoslovakia's religious comissars have arrived at their goal.

Fathers Emil Sibik and Jozef Kral were ordained 'Feb, 14 at Rome's Slovak College of SS. Cyril and Methodius by Bishop Paul Hnilica, who himself had hrcn ordained a priest and a hishop in secret during the dark ycars of Czechoslovakia's Stalinist-line represssions.

Holy'· See - Ita Iy Pacts, Hailed

Msgr. RusseliR. Novello

VATiCAN CITy (NC) - On the eve of the 42nd anniversary of the Holy Sec's treaties with Italy regulating Church-State affairs, the Vat.ican City daily L'Osservatore Romano hailed their "highly positive value" for both Church and state, Secularist groups have been calling for the nullification of these so-called Lateran pacts.

One point of bitter contention has been the marriage legislation sanctioned by the pacts and, the Holy See claims, ignored by Italy's new law introducing divorce into the country.

Under the 1929 Lateran agreement, Italy guaranteed the civil effects of Catholic religious marriage.

L'Osservatore said Feb. 10:

"Under the religious 'aspect the greatest benefit of the Lateran pacts is the reestablishment of concord in the consciences of Italians and among the consciences of Italians, This concord must. be, and is still, the starting point for the f.ull solidarity of Italians in promoting the progress of their country in freedom," The Vatican daily observed, however, 'that the Church "reaffirms her' availability" to help overcome' problems.

Today, for example, we read that a school in Providence is heing closed because it is running a deficit of $15,000 this Yl'ar and the pastor anticipates a deficit of $25,000 next year.

One cannot refute this. However, the 210 children in that school are going to be deprived of a religious education, which is truly a crisis.

But I cannot see how we can justify the closing of a school for $25,000, a comparatively small figure.

Wanted: Christians Alive!

In his ~nly I:t~er !n Scripture, St. James offers a pertinent ~nd ~hallenglng distinction for us as Twentieth Century Christians thiS season of Lent-I971. He says, "If faith is alone and has no actions with it, then it is dead!" (Jm. 2: 17)

In

Is it not our Faith that makes a difference or should make a difference, in our approach and respoll1se to life? Lent is a time to rekindle our life of faith . • . a faith that affects us, not only individually as persons, but a faith that affects others. ~s we examine our personal life of faith during Lent, Jet us ask ourselves whether it is "dead or alive" when faced with the terrible reality of suffering human beings, or as James calls them "brothers and sisters."

Every person is confronted with the world situation; every responds either by doing something to help, expressing opmions (but not doing), or by complacent indifference. But re~ember, you are not "every person"-you are a Christian person. What difference does that make? pe~son

The nonreligiously-motivated humanist can and does provide food, clothing, medicine, education, and sClcial development to aid the helpless poor in under-developed cou!,!tries. As Christians we must do this too, but even more. That "even more" is what makes. the difference. We all have that "even more" . . . we call it ."our mission·."

Lent is also a time to rekindle our missionary spirit (dead or' alive?) for, unlike the mere humanist, we !!iee beneath the human live of helping people, the reality of Divine Love and the acting'. presence of God. The missionary today is certainly a person .whose faith is very much alive! He serves the overwhelming spiritual, and material needs of the poorest of the poor. His faith constantly demands continued sacrifice and renewed dedication, but then, a person whose faith IS alive is a person who loves. And we all know the demands love makes on us! _.

The missionary needs, lllbove aU, the prayers, encouragement, and support of us, his fellow Christians.· A missionary serves in the name of Christ; he serves in your nlime and mine as wel!, for we are the Body of Christ. today, member for member.

May you discover your faith more alive and filled with the newness. of life this Easter because during I~ent you feU more deeply in love with your brothers and sisters!

May your life witness the truth that your faith does make a difference. Please begin today. Clip out this column and send . a generous sacrifice for the missions.

Why? Was it the girl playing folk guitar? Everyone singing?

Was it the smallness of your group' and the feeling of closeness which everyone felt?

Whatever the explanation, you said this service seemed to an"swer questions, about finding fulfillment in life and happiness on earth.

call the Genesis account 'of creation. "For when, by the work of his hands or with the aid of technology, man develops the earth so that it can bear fruit and become a dwelling worthy of the whole human family ... he carries out the design of God, Manifested at' the beginning of time, the divine plan is that man should subdue the earth, bring creation to perfection, and develop himself. When a ITl6n so acts he simultaneously obeys the great Christian commandment that he place himself at the service of his brother men."

(Church in the Modern World, 57), At some periods of 'the Church's -history, Catholics and other, Christians viewed science with alarm or suspicion. , At other times a native scientism, tended to consider the' Creator as a remnant of prescientific superstition. Perhaps much of the time ChristiaJ.ls saw little relation between their daily, work and God, between human' creativity and the creative activity of God. Sometimes Christians even considered 'work as, a punishment occasioned' by man's first sin. Most often, perhaps, work was seen ,merely as a means of a livelihood for self and family.'

'Social Awareness Continued from Page Sixteen 1930's. When a real need arrived during World War II, technology made that thinking a reality.

The idea of a computer was thought up by Babbage a century or so ago. When the pressures of engineering and business became great enough, the Univac I and Whirlwind MIT computers were born.

Byproducts of Inventions The exciting byproduct of each technological advance IS the hundreds of new usages which suddenly become apparent as the technology becomes ma.ture. As the technology grows at an ever increasing rate, the responsibilities of the technologists increase. S~, as the atom W,IS being harnessed, the atomic bomb became a reality. Fission spawned fusion and the hydrogen bomb. Supersonic aircraft, born from jet propulsion, now pose serious atmospheric pollution problems.

Technology has the tendency of growing upon itself. Given enough money and brain power, together with the fantastic power Of modern computers, hundreds of man-years of technological advances can be achieve~1 in an ever decreasing amount of time.

The days of privately-financed research and development operations, such as Edison conducted, are just about over. Practically all R&D facilities are supported directly or indirectly by the government. Our space program could not conceivably have been financed by private corporation.

Medical research, in the main, is, government financed: Perhaps only drugs, today, have,,~ significant degree of privately financed research. Because technology has become so expensive and complicated, it has become less and less a private matter but a political one with the entire social structure being involved.

It has been estimated that the power required to reduce one gram of matter to zero gravity could light several large cities for a year. So the financing of anti-gravity technology becomes hugely expensive. We are famil. iar with the expense of technology because of the current SuperSonic Transport (SST) controversy. The social pressure demanding this speed of transportation is probably not enough today to justify the expense.

Obviously we will eventually have an SST and much more, when we really want. it!

'Tradeoff' Very probably we ~vill have relative immortality, teleportat ion (the transmission of matter by electronic ~eans), the control of gravity, computers and robots to do most of oUI' work. These are just a few ideas that technology could probably make practical reality if the social pressures build up enough to demand tbem.

We are as wrong to blame the technology of television for ropbing our children of their heritage of reading and conversation as we would be to blame a gun for killing. Mankind asked for and got both of these prod ucts of technology. He is currently asking for more leisure, ('v('n faster transportation, freedonY from pain and death, and f'l'pansion for his race to the stars. Man's technology will

eventually be, a slave to thesl' wants and fulfill them.

Our concern should not focus itself upon the fruits of knowledge (technology) but upon the seeds of technology (social wants and needs). It really is a "tradeoff." How much humane-' ness are we wiiling to tradeoff for convenience? How much MUST we trade off for our survival. Never call technology "rhindless!"Technology is simply the reflection of mankind's use of his godliness, his free choice to use knowledge. Only we arc to blame if we enslave 'our, selves!, Discussion Questions I. What do you think a~e tIw limits 'of man's technological skills?

Asks Court Deny 'Atheist Request WASHINGTON (NC) - The Department has asked the Supreme' Court to deny atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair's request. that American astronauts be prohibited from reli-, gious activities on moon flights.

Mrs. O')-Iair, who won a Su'preme Court ruling against prescribed school prayers in 1963, claims the Apollo 8 and II astronauts engaged in religious ceremonies to establish Christianity as -the official religion of the United States.

Justice Department Solicitor General Erwin Gris";old argued t.hat Mrs. O'Hair lacks the standing to challenge astronauts' ac- ' tivities on the basis that the federal funds supporting moon flights were used unconstitutionally for religious purposes.

Even if she had a taxpayer's claim, Griswold said, the astronauts only carried personal religious items which had the effect "of improving the morale of the astronauts and thereby contributing to' the success of the flight."

Mrs. O'Hair, who lives in Austin, Tex., filed 11 federal co~rt suit protesting that the Apollo 8 flight was made at Christmas, , 1968 to coincide with the reli' gious holiday and that the astronauts read from the Bible on man's first orbit to the moon. .I ustice

BILLY WALSH of 14 per game to lead his mates to a respectable season.

Walsh is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Paul Walsh, 233 Arnold Street, and is a communicant of St. Lawrence Parish. His younger brother Paul is a starting guard on the Holy Family High basketball squad and recently helped spark the'Bl~e Wave into the annual New' England Catholic Invitation Tournament and to within two victories of ciaiming the Narragansett League championship.

While Billy was a member of the HFH varsity, he led the Narry League in scoring during both his junior. and senior years topping the 1,000-point caree'r total during his final season.

His greatest thrill was helping his team to the Class C Tech Tournament title two years ·ago.

His two free throws with 10 seconds to play gave the Blue Wave its first lead of the night and the eventual championship over a much bigger North Andover quintet.
