The Negroes earlier sent a letter to the student newspaper saying "We demand a public apology from the student body of the University of Notre Dame for their 'booing when there were five black players in the game against Michigan State."

Most relaxed abortion laws, including those already enacted in five states only propose to allow abortion .when, the pregnancy endangers the expectant mother's mental or physical health, when there is a serious risk that the child would be born mentally or physically defecti vc or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.

Suspend Newman Club for Holding Mass on Campus

Archbishop Lists See's Finances

FARMINGDALE (NC) Newman Club of the State Agricultural 'and Technical College of the State University of New York was suspended after some 35 students attended a Mass held on Ithe campus.

The club's charter was suspended by the college's president, Dr. Charles W. Laffin, Jr., because college rules forbid the use of state education property for religious purposes.

Resident Catholics at the college have to travel two miles to the nearest church and the Newman club has held Masses in factories, garages and the homes of faculty members.

Four ,to five thousand of the college's day students are Cath'olic, and 300 of its 600 resident students are Catholic. The Newman Club is seeking permission to hold -religious services on campus because students lack transportation to ,the nearest church.

The college's action in suspending the club is ,based on a 1958 ruling by John C. Cray, Jr., counsel to the State University, who said that religious services in state 'buildings violated the "establishment of religion" prohibition of the First Amendment to the ConS'titution and also violates state law which forbids the use of state education property for religious purposes.

Pemlon ,Unheeded Father Ronald Luka, C.S.F., chaplain of the Newman Club, celebrated the Mass in a dormitory lounge. He said that the students will continue to pressure for religious services on campus and willproba,bly attend future unauthorized Masses on campus.

Newman Club president, Miss Sue Munday, said: "We held the Mass ,to bring attention ,to the fact that we've been having Mass In very primitive places."

She said that a ,petition asking for permission to hold religious services on campus was sent ,to the college's president last year and was forwarded to Albany with no results.

She said the club will hold its meetings off campus while the suspension is in effect, but added that the students expected Ito attend Mass on campus the following Sunday. She said: "If we are asked to leave we will do so. We want to avoid a conf.rontation." <)

Cites Assurances' Of More U.S. Aid WASHINGTON (NC) - U. S. Sen. Charles E. Goodell of New York told a National Press Club gathering here he ,has received assurances that the United States will gi've increased support to relief efforts aimed at helping victims on ,both sides of the Nigerian civil war.

Goodell, who recently returned from 'a 10-day trip to Biafra, the former Eastern Region of Nigeria which has declared itself independent of the federal state, said that the increased government aid would be channeled through international voluntary relief agencies.

The International Committee of the Red Cross and U. S. religious agencies such as Catholic Relief Services, Church World Services and the American Jewish Committee are among the agencies which 'have been sending emergency relief supplies into the war-torn area of Nigeria in an effort to halt mass starvation.

LOUISVILLE (NC) - Archbishop Thomas J. McDonough has reported that only a modest surplus remains in Louisville archdiocesan funds. Working funds total some $10.5 million, while accounts and loans payable shows obligations of $9.9 million, he detaUed. Archbishop McDonough pointed out it is "not my intention to build unduly large surpluses."

But he added that "fiscal stability of the Church in this archdiocese demands the maintaindng of some surplus working funds."

The financial report was issued in keeping with .the arch'bishop's promise last October, Archdiocesan Development(Fund campaign, to keep Catholics here informed a-bout activities.

A Real Ptotest , The idealisn't of those college students who are protesting injustices Of various kinds should not be allowed to go to waste. I Indeed, their I protests should be encouraged along lines that will really be effective. . .A striking e,(ample of this has been given to t.he college community ithe world over by a ~r.oup of o~e tho~­ sand undergraduates of England's prestigIOus Oxford University. i.. .

These students, appalled at the amount of hunger 1n the world ,have not simply mounted a protest. They have not merely raised I thei r voices. They ha ~e ?on~ so~e­ thing effective - have taken action that.m I~S Idealism and its efficaciousness and its boldness IS qUite breathtaking. They have! pledged a fixed part of their income for the rest of th~ir lives to aid developing countries.

Now here is p~otest on a grand and effective scale.

Here is acti.on· so imaginative and sincere that it ~akes walking in 'picket lines and seizing buildings and organizing rallies Seem childish and the negative things that they are.. ' .

This is Idealistic. It is effective. It pledges a person and his deep convihions not for a single moment or for a single action but :for the rest of his life and for all his actions.

I All too often 'the protestors of college turn - in a few years -.:.- into ~icky-tacky people. li~ing tick~-tackY lives with the scope of their concern limited to their own lives and their own: welfare.

But not so thi's Oxford pi·otest.

It puts itself right Oll the line - for life. This is :.1 real protest.

The reaction td the statement by the president of . Notre Dame promising quick sanctions against those disrupting the norJilal operations of the university or infringing on the rights of others has been universally 1 . one of support.

Noone is against protests.

But almost alII realize that· the time has come to draw the firm line between a legitimate protest in a legitimate way, and; the protest that is another name for anarchy and the' depriving of people of their rights.

This latter typei of protest is tyranny.'

And as the American patriot and writer, .James Otis, said in his "The Rights of the British Colonies" in 1764: "Tyranny is to be ~bhorred wh~ther it be in the h~lJ1ds of one or of few or I of the many."

Newmal11 Movement, in 75 Years' Ho.s Spread to 1,250 Campuses PHILADELPHIA (NC)-During the 1893-94 school year, 17 Catholic medical students at the University of Pennsylvania met and formed an organization designed to give Catholic students . "a chance to come" together, to know one 'another, to discuss subjects of interest. to Cahtolic~ and possibly to- .increase somewhat the opportunities for social.life;lIImong strangers coming to PhiiadelphiaY On the advice of their first chaplain-wno . feared that the organization would not surv~ve -the young men called their organization the Newman Club, after John Henry Cardinal Newman, the British scholar-convert from Anglicanism. who had yearned to make. the presence of the Catholic Church felt 'at his own beloved Oxford University.

The Chaplain's fears were unfounded-but the name he suggested was inspired - because the Newman movement which began 75 years ago in the stu- . dent quarters at the University of Pennsylvania has now spread to 1,250 campuses with 1.3 miIlion Catholic students.

Source of Pride Present at the first meetingwhich the most reliable existing records indicate took place in February, 1894-was a "day hop" student, James Murphy, whose nephew and namesake, Father James Murphy, now, by coinci-· dence, is rector of the University of Pennsylvania's Newman Hall <lnd St. Bede's Chapel: also director of the Newman apostolate at all 51 non-Catholic institutions of higher learning in the five-county Philadelphia. archdiocese.

At the campus level, the more recent "experiments" have inciuded "sensitivity retreats," black-white confrontation, "Insight" day·s'.of recollec~ion. and a student-determfned variety in the celeb'ration of 'the lHurgy (taking advantC)ge of but not exceeding the freedom of choice allowed in Church law).

"Today's students," Father Murphy said, "are senstitive, serious and intelligent. Like all students,a large majority of them are disillusioned in some measure with contemporary society; unlike some students in previous periods, today's students intend to do something about changing society."

Father Murphy sounds like the reflective Cardinal Newman, and like a newly assigned missionaty; when he describes the Church's apostolate on a nonCatholic 'campus. . 'Most Important' Depicting the Newman movement as "the Church manifesting its presence in the secular academic community," Father Murphy is' quick to point out that the secular academic community is "the ideological frontier of the Church."

"The missionary dimension is intensified," Father Mur:phy said in an interview, "as some un iversities 'become' iiruternational in dimension and even more pluralistic in culture."

"There are 110,000 international students ,in the United States this year," Father Murphy said, "and the University of Pennsylvania has a large pro·portion of foreign students in its total enrollment. In addition, university administrators and faculty members are called upon not only to advise foreign educators but even to establish new universities abroad."

Protest Award To Archbishop

v ATICAN CITY (NC) Concerned with the growing size of recent annual volume'S of the "Activities of the Holy See" (Acta Apostolicae Sedis), the Vatican publishers presented Pope Paul VI with a trimmed-down version for 1968.

The publishers described the 1,560-page edition for 1968 as a "faithful documentation of the more important events characterized in the life of the Church during the past year."

Despite its numerous deletions, the latest volume is only 120 pages shorter than the 1967 edition, which had 1,680 pages. (i{me from the 1968 volume are listings of activities of such organizations as Caritas Internationalis (International Catholic Charities Organization), the Pontifical Relief Organization and more than a score of other groups.

Other Sources The publishers said, however, that activities of those omitted groups are to be included in other publications.

As in previous editions, the first section of the volume ch ronicled papal audiences, statements and acts. Some o! these were: New norms for the pontifical household; new rites for'ordinations of deacons, priests and bishops; the papal credo for the people of God ,at the closing of the year of faith; the encyclical Humanae Vitae and the Pope's visit to Bogota, Colombia, for the international Eucharistic Congress.

Coun Some of. the statistics. of the Roly See's adtivitiefl, in, 1968 were (fIgures in parentheses are 1967): The ,Roman .Rota, the chu'rch high court, heard 224 (215) cases.

All of them except one (two) concerned annulment of marriage. One hundred fifty-two (151) decisions favored nullity of dispensation and 71 (61) were unfavorable. Forty-six per cent (33%) of the causes were treated free of charge or reduced in charge according to the means of the petitioners.

Five hundred thirty-four (529) persons were listed as Vatican citizens. This included 31 (28) cardinals, 1.19 (117) diplomatic representatives of the Holy See abroad, 26 (27) prelates and ecclesiastics, five (12) Religious, 54 (same) Swiss guards, and 146 (148) laymen.

Students Voice O'pinion on Church 'It's God, Yes; the Institution, No' CHICAGO (NC) -They believe in God. but generally don't go to Sunday Mass.

They scoff at angels, rosaries and holy water. They tell you' the words "prayer," "confession" and "sin" aren"t in their vocabularies.

Asked if the Roman Catholic Church is relevant to them, they'll answer. "It's G()d, yes; the institution, no."

Ask them what their concept of God has become, and they'll reply: "I am God." "They" are a group of 40 Ca-tholic students interviewed at random by The New World, Chicago archdiocesan newspaper, on Chicago Catholic campuses from DePaul and Loyola Universities to Mundelein, Barat, St. Xavier and Rosary Colleges.

The result was a picture of the first generation of Catholic students to remaiJ1, Catholic in name but ,to prefer to call itself "ChrisUan"-students who claim .the do's and don't's of structured Catholic morality are no longer meaningful to them.

Were the answers the students gave legitimately widespread opinion? Several deans of students said "yes."

"But there are so many degrees of what you term alienation' from Church' structure," said Sister Sarita, O.P., Rosary's dean of women.

Grade School God. 'Out' "Some students are merely searching; some, completely rejecting; a few paying ()nly lip service to religion so that society will accept them, -but most are reacting against the structure * * * though not against God," Sister Sarita added.

Miss Mariette LeBlanc, Loyola's dean of women, also agreed: "It is true * * ,~ and most of ,the students not wishing to identify wHh Church structure are not hippie types, either."

Do students in the 1960s believe in God and ihe Catholic Church? These answers· were given: "One thing I'm sure of * * * the God from grade school definitely is out," said Kathy Kenzie, 20, Rosary senior.

"Something sort of changes w:hen you become a teenager," she said. . .

Prelate Deplores Discipline Lack BOSTON (NC)-Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston said here that in his opinion the greatest problem of the Church in 'the' future is the breakdown of discipline.

Cardinal Cushing, speaking at a ceremony in Holy .Cross Cathedral here, referred to the disregard of authority among many priests and to the fact that numbers are leaving the active ministry.

"What is the Church of the future going to be like if its priests have no respect for authority?" he asked.

Later, commenting on the recent statement of Pope Paul VI to parish priests of Rome that Christ had set forth a life of celibacy for priests and that to live otherwise "could paralyze the priestly vocation," Cardinal Cushing said: "I submit to the judgement of the Holy Father. Rome has spoken. As far as I'm concerned, the problem is settled."

Maybe, but it's more complicated than this," Miss Kesler said.

NEWARK (NC) - Some 150 chanting, singing pickets paraded outside a downtown hotel here where a Brotherhood Award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews (NCCJ) was being presented to Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark.

At one point, about 30 demonstrators entered the hotel lobby and headed for the banquet hall where the award dinner was being held. Police turned them back and ushered them out of the lobby without further incident.

The protestors were members of a newly formed coalition organized by independent lay, c:lcrgy and religious groups who <:Iaim a membership of over 2,000. All of them have publicly supported the charge of "racism" mude against Archbishop Boland by a group of 20 priests working in inner-city areas of the archdiocese.'

They had claimed in a telegram to the NCCJ that the selection of Archbishop Boland for the Brotherhood Award would be "a sham and a mockery of the word 'brotherhood.'''

'Taking a Vacation'

Margo Corton, 18, Barat freshman, doesn't feel students today are turned off completely to God. "There seems to be a need for Him," Miss Corton said. "But I went through a stage where I didn't believe. I think this is a healthy process * 0;0 * I'm a stronger Christian for it."

Students who do leave ,the Church, for however. long a period, are~erely taking a vacation from it, was the way Joe Moran, 21, Loyola senior, put it.

"We don't find many adults trying to find God in people, 50 we just look at the Church as just anothet segment of the federal bureaucracy we're forced to deal with," said Peter Craves, 20, Loyola senior.

Joanne Caput, 21, Rosary senior, added that students in the '60s are looking more inside themselves; they feel the modern Catholic Church is outdated in moving alcng with this new spirit.

"The big thing to us now is persons instead of rules," .she said.

Discovers All Is Not Roses In Realms of High Couture

,CHICAGO (NC) - Christian "celebration"· retains the human depth and brotherliness of pioneer days even in the midst' of a modern, complicated city like Chicago.

A night of singing praises to the human soul and the stand it takes before good and evil was celebrated throughout the meeting rooms, Hlled with the voices of 1,000 participants in the Conference. on Man and the City held here. '\You sing a song, I'll sing a song, we will sing together," intoned the soprano voice of Rosa Page Welch, and 100 voices joined her.

The same concert was enacted several fimes as an experience in community singing, symbolizing the ecumenical determination to teach in better w'ays a Gospel' significant to modern man. Along with Negro spirituals, several Mexican melodies and American folk songs repeated the message of hope and craving for fulfillment.

The 'singing wa~ a preview to the luncheon Celebration that closed the meetings, with participants voicing the innermost experiences they had during their stay here. in ballads and "haikus," Japanese form of poem.

By Marilyn Roderick In order that; someone else may be spared ,the woe I went through with a fur-trimmed suit'that I purchased last Fan I feel compelled to write the following column.

The story I am about to tell is sti11 without an ending hut believe me the only part that has been pleasant thus Why, this Persian lamb trimmed far was the beginni,ng. Last beauty- only cost one two-week September, for my pirthday, paycheck (that is the paycheck

before the taxes are deducted).

With the suit box under my arm and now my nose in the air I fairly floated over to the toy store to tell Joe ,and Jason of my fabulous purchase. Oddly enough, Joe didn't think it was such a bargain (of course he hadn't been exposed to those $495 Seymour ,Fox's or the $395' Courreges').

In fact, the price so stunned him that he practica,lly 'fell into the gutter on Newbury Street where no one ever falls into the gutter (especially oyer a measly price tag. Of course 1 consoled hhm all the way home with the fact that 1 had purchased quality and that such high quality was. worth eating only hamburgers for the next six months.

Because the ensemble was of the palest grey (and because I am an unmitigated slob) the dress part spent a goodly amount of time visiting the cleaners, but not the jacket-that is, not until that fateful day in late December.

Of course, 'once before this time I had noticed a few black spots on shoulders of the jacket after I had been caught in the rain but I thought perhaps my hair color had decided to let more than my hairdresser know. ' However it wasn't until the jacket had returned' from the cleaners and I was on my way to a luncheon that I realized htat the fur, or something backing the fur had definitely run, resulting in a shadow of black dye around any part of the' jacket that was trimmed, with the fur.

To say 'it was noticeable was an understatement. Let me only mention that this was a bridal luncheon and I got more attention than the bride.

Caught in Middle The cleaner blamed the manufacturer, -the buyer for the store blamed the' cleaner, and I, the consumer, am ,caught right in the middle. This looks like a case for Betty F.urness, but she went out with ,the last administration.

I returned the suit to the store (with Joc along as protectionConference Urges More this time my ,mother took Jason to the toy.store) and needless ,to Medical Aid for ,lPoor say 'I didn't get the same red INDIANAPOLIS (NC) _ The carpet treatment I got the day I -board of directors of the Indipurchased it.

Joe said he would gift me with a Winter 'Suit if-·I wanted to take a jaunt up to Boston and pick one out. Accompanied by Jason we ventur.ed , forth and while I spent oer h a I'd '- earned . money on the second - ,floor designer's salon of one of the supposedly luxury stores of the eastern seaboard,' Joe took Jason over to another store and let him browse to hi~ heart's content. ,I Now, if you're anything like me',' you know that just to stroll through the d~signer's department of one of these 'exclusive stores takes a bit of courage bu~ to ,ask any of the aristocratic clerks to' wait on you takes nerve beyond description.

' The latter statement I didn't doubt to be true as she ,came out with one stunning ensemble after another and of course the prices were just, as stunning as the garments. After practically falling into a rack of little originals when 1 glanced at ,the price tag of $495.00 on one of, the Seymour, Fox outfits she had brought forth for my inspection, I couldn't help but feel that 1 was really being rather ~conserv­ ative when 1 did decide to buy a Zelink-Matlik dress an!J jacket.

Disguises Problem Father Flannery 'Says 'Polite Anti-Semitism' , Perils Dialogue ATLANTA (NC) "Polite anti-Semitism" in ,the United States has combined with other factors to bring Jewish and Christian dialogue to a "very fragile" stage, a priest warned here.

Father Edward H. Flannery said prosperous times in ,America have' prevented anti-Semitism from reaching the point of violence, but at the same time have disguised the problem and made it harder to deal with ..

The' executive director of the Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations of the U. S, Bishops' Committee for Ecu:menical and Interreligious Affairs said American anti-Semitism is "de-' ceptive" because it does not usually involve direct confrontation bet.ween gen1ile and Jew. Instead, he said, it is characterized ,in attitudes and hate behind ,the back of Je~ish people.

Father Flanne~y ,made his comments at a joint meeting of .Jews and Catholics at the cathedral of Christ the King. This was

College to Honor Social Worker

Practice Inefficiency

By Joseph and Ma1'ilyn Rode1'ick A friend o~ce facetiously suggested to me that all newly married males should follow advice which was given , him by a sage relative: when your wife asks you to do anything at all in the house, do it willingly, but make such a mess of it that she will 'never ask you to do it again. decide to give up candy or desThat is, if she asks you to serts orbetwee~-meal snacks. do the dishes, do them will- About the only tning that beneingly, ,but break the best dish.

If she asks you to wash the floor, do not hesitate, 'but leave it a streaky mess. In this way she will realize that although you are willing, you are so inept that she is better off i.f she does the work herself.

It is too late for me to follow this advice so I am spending the Winter months doing all sorts of jobs I detest. My wife feels that Winter is the time to make up . for, the whole year and so I am now stripping a wall of paper which has ,been painted over and then papered over again.

This room will finally be painted again (by next Winter, at the rate the work is progressing now) 'but not until the old paper is completely removed.

Now, anyone who has had to tackle the job of taking off paper that 'has been painted knows that the job'is almost impossible. To do -it correctly, on~ must soak little bits 'of the paper at a time in a mixture of water and vinegar so that the paper becomes wet enough to 'be scraped off the wall. The difficulty is that paint is impervious to water' and this soaking process has very little long-term effect. This kind of job requires infinite ,patience (something I have very little of).

Spring cannot come a minute too soon. I shall be very happy to escape from our overheated house to the' fresh air, from doing monotonous jobs to getting something worthwhile done in the garden, and from the noise of the children to the relative quiet of the out-of-doors.

At any rate, I would suggest that any newly-,wed quickly drop that dish, mess up; that floor and become a helpless husband. Be inefficient, so that your wife can make cute jokes about your having two left thumbs while she does all the work around the house!

In the Kitchen I, for one, find it quite refreshing to see Lent '69 ushered in on a note of concern for our fellow man; and an urging by our pastors to adopt a ,positive approach to our Lenten duties rather than the negative one that we of the older generation were so familiar with.

In this age of awareness that we are our brother's keeper it would seem quite superficial to

Reports 14 Per Cent Rise in School Cost CINCINNATI (NC) -An increase of 14 per cent in operating ,expenses of archdiocesan high schools is expected in the coming year.

A spokesman for' the archdiocesan board of education's finance committee said the perpupil cost in the high schools will go from this year's $288 to $330 next year.

Noting that President Richard Nixon and his economic advisors are concerned about inflation because of an annual rise of four to five per cent in prices, the finance committee spokesman said: "People who are concerneq with paying for Catholic education would gladly trade percentages with the President."

fited from this type of sacrifice was the shape of our figures, certainly not the condition of our souls. .

One long ago Lent, when I was a very unhip teenager, I was working as a clerk in a downtown store and' ironically was placed on the candy counter when I had "given' up" all such goodies for the pre-Easter season. All I can remember of that particular Lent was the longing of my sweet tooth .

The minute Easter arrived on the scene it was the signal for a bonbon binge to end all 'bonbon binges. Any meaningful Christian experiences during 'that time were far outshadowed by my adolescent craving for candy and I felt I was doing something tremendous when there were so many more positive things I could have been doing.

Proper Perspective This does not mean that we should not practice self-denial, but that we should put it into its proper ,perspective. Too many Catholics over the years felt because they heard the' rumbling of their stomachs during Lent they truly were being as Christian as ,possible, while their fellow man's well-being was someone else's concern.

The spirit of this Lent could be one of brotherhood. The other evening at a gathering the subject came up of helping those souls in the ghettos. A few of us "middleaged matrons" said that, seeing our city lacked a' ghetto, we seemed quite helpless to enter into this spirit, of helping those less fortunate. One of the priests in the group quickly answered that although we couldn't fly to Biafra or drive to Appalachia, we could still find Christ in our neighbor and "our own thing" in our environment.

Here's a tasty Lenten dish if you're planning on using a lot of seafood in your menus for the next six weeks.

CINCINNATI (NC)-Alice R. May, veteran social welfare official and former president of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae, will receive Mount St. Joseph College's annual Mater et Magistra award Sunday, March 9.

Miss May, a native of Tiffin, Ohio, retired recently as assistant director of Catholic 'Charities of the Baltimore archdiocese after 20 years of service with the agency.

nonpublic schools. When the exercise of this right becomes unduly burdensome, the parents feel that the state should reimburse a portion of the expense."

They stressed that the 'bill would help parents defray only the' costs of teaching secular subjects in the non public schools. The emphasis of the bill is to help the child and the parent, not the school or any religion, they noted. The bill specifically states that it does not provide for nor intend to aid any religion or religious instruction.

Under the bill, the state would grant the nonpublic school pupil, through reimbursement to the parent, payment of 75 per cent of the tuition or $150, whichever is less. Currently public schools receive state aid of $180 路per 'pupil for the first 300 enrolled in a school and $150 for each additional student.

LOS ANGELES (NC)-James Francis Cardinal McIntyre said "prostitution" of communications media by presentation of sensationalism for commercial gain cannot be tolerated.

Speaking at a Communion breakfast of the Catholic Press Council here, the archbishop of Los Angeles said the communications industry must understand that freedom stands for good, not evil.

He asked the radio, TV and newspapermen to maintain standards of high quality in elements of religion, honesty, justice, loyalty and genuine patrio路tism.

In another talk, Father Ellwood Kieser, C.S.P., producer of TV's Insight program, chal. lenged the justification made of objectionable material by producers who say "It's what the people want:' "I doubt that this is really what the people want. The danger is that media will come to dominate and contro~ us, dehumanize us," he declared.

Media is for man, he said, not the other way around.

Mutual Protective Insurance Company, specializing in healti1 insurance for Catholics for over 35 years, has created a brandnew health plan especiaIIy for Catholics like yourself-the HOSPITAL PLAN FOR CATHOLICS. .

T

. "Try" This Plan For Only $1 You ·can actually "try" the plan ·under. a special no strings "introductory" offer: For ~nly $1.00, you .can enroll yourself and all eligibl~ members_of, your familywithout having to see a company representative and without any red tape whatsoever -during this limited enrollment period.

And, after you receive your policy, if for any reason you decid(! you don't want it, you may return it witfzin 10 days and your dollar will be promptly refunded!

Why You Need The HospitallPlan For' Catholics In Addition ITo Ordinary Health Insurance Because no matter what other insurance you now carry. it simply won't cover every. thing!

Think for a moment,...in these days of rising medical costs, would yqur present . insurance cover all your hospitai bills? All your surgical and in-hospital doctor's bills?

All the medicines, drugs, supplies and the many other extras? Probably not.

And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered, what about all your other expenses-the' bills that keep piling up at home-the tre~endo~ and costly upset to your budget, your ~rves and your family life? i •

If you, as husband, father and breadwinner are. suddenly hospitalized, your income stops, your expenses go up. Even if you .have soine kind of "salary insurance" it probably won't come' close to replacing your full-time p·ay. It your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will look after the family. do the 'laundry, the marketing, the cleaning? You may have to take time off from your job-or hire domestic help. If one of your children is hospitalized, .you'll certainly spare no expense. If you're a sen· ior citizen, with limited reserves, and are .hospitalized, even with Medicare, where will the "extra" money you need coine nom?

Without any extra cash prptection in c;ase of a h~spital emergency, debts maybe fucurred, savings may be lost, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery can be seriously delayed.

Church Tax

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 27, 1969

Continued frpm Page One churches and religious and educational institutions.

Taxing churches is not a new idea in this country. President James Madison questioned the granting of exemptions to the 'churches. President U. S. Gz:ant demanded the exemptions cease.

Even some churchmen consis.tently have argued against exemption. They contend churches should have'to pay for essential services, such as fire and police protection, as do individual citizens.

Side Income Some churches, of course, to not depend on these -profit-making financial ventures as much as do other churc1:les. The Catholic Church is reported to have holdings in some housing and

Another example of church investment is the business dealings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), This church owns daily newspapers, radio and television stations, banks and department stores, as well as many other businesses.

All profit derived from these holdings are tax-exempt. This is the sort of thing that Congress is expected to look into.

Churchman Seeks Nixon Influence In Relief Effort N}<~W

YORK (NC)-The director of the overseas relief agency of American Catholics appealed to President Nixon to use his influence to stop indiscriminate 1?ombing and strafing of relief planes flying into Biafra.

Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, executive director of Catholic Relief Services, told the President unless there is a strafing 'halt, hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children, imperiled by hunger and diseases, will 'be cut off from their only regular source of relief supplies from the outside world.

The Bishop condemned the bombing-strafing by the Nigerian air force of relief planes used by church agencies of Europe and North America flying food and medical supplies for the starving and sick in 'blockaded Biafra.

Blistering Attacks Speaking in behalf of Joint Church Aid-U. S. A., he said the increased bombing has placed the continuation of the relief airli.fts in serious jeopardy. 'because the relief pilots are unable to complete their mercy missions. ' Four pl9nes operated by the church agencies were severely damaged by the military action a fortnight ago. They will not be operative for several days.

The damaged aircraft jncluded three planes under charter to Dutch church groups and one sent by Canair, an interfaith group of Canada.

Bishop Swanstrom, who also is president o~rToint Church Aid -U. S. A., a consortium composed of the American Jewish Committee, Church World Service and Catholic Relief Services, not,ed that military action over the Biafran airstrip is so intensive the relief planes have to hold in their patterns for as much as five hours and even then are unable to deliver desperately needed relief supplies.

U. S. Policy Review This places the ever increasing danger upon the pilots and crews of the mercy missions that their aircra.ft may run out of fuel before they are able to complete their missoions or return to Sao Tome, the Portuguese island off the African coast where the church relief planes are based, the internationally known American churchman emphasized.

In Washington, the State Department disclosed that a review of U. S. policy for supplying emergency relief to Biafra, ordered by President Nixon, is nearing completion.

The State Department made it plain the interest of the U. S. in the Nigeria-Biafra civil war is focused on efforts to afford humanitarian relief to thousands of the war victfms.

Hand,s Ofr Department officials expressed, doubt that the U. S. will mediate the dispute between Nigeria and secessionist Biafra. This express'ion came in a response to a statement attributed to Col. Odumgwu Ojukwu that the Nixon administratior might be interested in taking on a Nigeria-Biafra mediation role.

Ojukwu is the leader of the Biaira regime.

The Embassy of Nigeria in Washington denies that the Nigerian Air Force is bombing aircraft loaded with relief supplies for the Biafrans.

Blindness Forgotten in M~gic of Music 'When Tom .Sullivan Sings at Stang

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 27, 1969

Panel to Study Aid to Schools

Stang seems to be caught up in mood music these days due to the fact that Tom Sullivan sang at the High School's monthly assembly. Tom Sullivan, a native of Milton, is' no stranger to the Fall River Diocese. He spent one summer at Cathedral Camp and has made many friends in, the D.iocese since he sang on the Cape this past summer. He also sang for Father William Norton of St. Kilian's, New Bedford, as the young priest said his First Mass in May, 1967.

Tom is a very interesting personality. He has 'been blind since birth, yet this 21 year old man is an achiever.' He graduated from Perkins Institute for. the Blind, spent two years at Providence College, then transferred to Harvard University as an honor, student where he will graduate in the near future.

Tom Sullivan is truly a fine entertainer. One newspaperman writing recently about -his· singing said, "Sullivan has a voice that is clear, full, smooth and very controlled. His, range is seemingly limitless. He rattles around in the lower register, then soars into a higher one, a combination of Lou Rawles and Johnny Mathis. Tom also lets his years of classical training show during( a few finishes."

Sullivan sings show tunes, soul music, popular hits, you name it and he will sing it. Tom is accomupanied ;by a fellow Harvard man, Chuck Eisenhardt, who shows great talent at the keyboard.

Tom Sullivan and Chuck E\senhardt will appear at Stang on· March 14 at 8:00 P.M. Their concert is sponsored .by the Christian Life Community at Stang.

Tickets are available from any sodGlist or at the school. We know you will have a great night when Sully sings at Stang.

University to Grant Law Doctorate' PONCE (NC) -The Catholic University of Puerto Rico here will from now on grant the juris doctor ,degree to graduates of its law school instead of the 'bachelor of law degree, becoming the first institution of higher education in Puerto Rico to confer this degree.

Permission to grant the law doctorate instead of the bachelor's degree was given by the New York State Board of Regents, which chartered the Catholic University in 1954.

ANNAPOLIS (NC) __Maryland Gov. Marvin Mandel announced that he will name a special committee to advise him on how far the state can go in providing aid to private and parochial schools.

He said the study will take several months and that he hopes a report will be filed in time for action by the 1970 General Assembly.

Mandel, who replaced VicePresident Spiro Agnew as governor of Maryland, revealed his plans for the study when asked at a press conference if he favors subsidizing private and parochial schools.

"I think it's a very, very difficult problem, from both the legal and the practical financial point of view," he replied. "I think we've got to have a lot of answers.

"But I think that in view of the overall ,problem, facing the schools, there are areas now in which some help can be givenareas that do not necessarily create any constitutional or legal problems," Mandel explained.

Hits 'Unjust' Public Opinion of Israel

Anglicans Dropping Anti-Catholic Tone LONDON (NC)-The Church of England has decided to stop requiring clergymen at ordination to publicly accept the 39 Articles of Religion which are strongly anti-Catholic in tone and are regarded by many as a stumbling block to Christian unity.

The decision has been made by the legislative body of the Anglican Church.

The charter of the Church of England, and its articles, were drawn up in 1562 "for the avoiding of d.iversities of opinions and for the establishing of consent touching true religion."

Objection to the articles has increased in recent years and . many Anglican clergymen felt they should not be called. upon to su'bscribe to doctrinal definitions reflecting views formed in the 16th century, a time of bitter religious controversy.

Father Donohue said the Buffal0 diocese, after surveying the financial condition of the parish, informed him that while, the diocese would continue to help support it, the parish had to "make every effort to float itself."

The dio~ese does support in": nler-city parishes, despite the drain on diocesan finances, the priest said. He estimated that the diocese contributes about $500,000 to this apostlate. ,In an effort to raise some of the money needed to keep his 154-year old church and school in operation, Father Donohue contacted some 200. persons and asked them to donate salable goods or their time to a two-day auction. held in Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium.

NEW YORK (NC) - Father Edward Flannery, ecumenist and executive secretary of the Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, has told a rally for the defense of Israel here that he feels Israel has been "severely judged by public opinion."

Father Flannery said: "I am here certainly a friend of the Jewish people, but I speak not only as a friend but also as a seeker after justice, as one who would render every man his due. This means that I am in no sense inimical to the Arab people or to their legitimate rights and aspirations, even if at this time I must be more concerned with those of Israel."

Group Discusses Right to Die With Dignity ORLANDO NC) The new Constitution for the State of Florida, -hardly a month old, is 'alre'ady up for amendment. A bill proposed by Miami physician and state Iegislator Walter Sackett would insert in the new document words to the effect that a person "has a right to die with dignity."

The proposed phrase was debated at length in a symposium at Florida Technological University sponsored by Catholic, Protestant -and Jewish religious leaders before an audience of about 75 doctors, la,wyers, professors, laymen and clergy.

The symposium presented experts in the fields of law, medicine and theology. Among them was Father Michael V. Gannon, professor of religion at the University -of Florida, Gainesville.

That's how pretty, enthusI~stlC Catholic Schools Eunice Healey sums up the work of the Homemaker-Home Health Aides of Fall RIver, of whom she's executive director.

Organized in January of last year as a "non-profit community program to assist families and individuals in time of emergency or crisis," the aides give two distinct services. Homemakers go into families where the mother or other person in charge is ill or absent. Their job is to maintain normal routines and wholesome family livViewpoint ing in times of stress.

PITTSBURGH (NC) - The Pittsburgh diocesan Catholic schools office was singled out for special praise by a national advisory body in a report to President Richard M. Nixon and the 91st Congress.

The National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children said the schools office, working with the public schools, has administered a federal aid program for disadvantaged children in Catholic schools better than has been done anywhere else.

Involved is aid provided under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. Funds come to the Pittsburgh Public School, which with nonpublic school officials decides on programs for disadvantaged children in all schools of the city. .

Coordinator for the Catholic schools program under Auxiliary Bishop :rohn B. McDowell, schools superintendent, is Sister Collette Link.

The program is not connected with the War on Poverty, although it does aid many of the same children. It has been providing remedial teaching during school hours, and special equipment and supplies for public and parochial schools throughout the area.

The National Advisory Council said it had studied 17 large and small communities and found that only Pittsburgh has done a thorough job of administering Title I aid to nonpublic school children. A major reason, apparently, it said, was that public and nonpublic school ofcials here maintain "regular, cordial and open communication."

Yes and No A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and 'disapproving of other.-Darwin.

She chuckles as she recalls that just before she heard of the Homemakers she had said to her husband that such a corps of trained women was a real need.

Homemakers Continued from Page Fifteen Mrs. Healey comes to her work as executive director of the aides with a rich background, which includes volunteer social work with a Quaker group for three years, then work with the blind and in poverty areas of New York.

Most recently she was a project worker with the Upward Bound program in Rhode Island, but with her husband, Edward J. Healey, a teacher in the Fall River school system. she was happy when the opportunity arose of organizing the Homemakers under sponsorship of Citizens for Citizens and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

"I feel I've found my niche in this work.... she said. As director, she visits families' applying for aid to see what each situation requires, she directs the work of aides. and she follows up cases to be sure that all needs are being met.

At present. she said, aides are caring for about 50 families or individuals, seeing most of them every day. Cases include postsurgical care, child welfare, problems involving emotional or mental conditions and, most frequently. care of the elderly.

Mrs. Healey stresses that people in need of the services of an aide should contact her agency even if they think they may not be eligible for help. "Often we can advise people of sources they're not aware of... ' The service covers Somerset, Swansea and Westport as well as Fall River, and Mrs. Healey tries to place ai'des in their own communities. She also does her utmost to make hours as convenient _as possible. "We pay $1.60 an hour and traveling costs," sl}e s,ay;>. )nt~e.sted people, or those in need of help, can reach her at the Homemaker office. Room 14, 101 Rock Street, Fall River 02720. The telephone is 672-9841.

And all the pay isn't in cash.

Ask any of the Homemakers or Health aides already on the job.

Extra recompense comes in the form of children's smiles, the thanks of a temporarily disabled mother, the gratitude of an old person enabled to remain in his own home. Treasure in heaven, too. It's a good deal.

Minnesotans Study 'Fair Bus' Bills ST. PAUL (NC)-Companion "fair bus" bills have been introduced in both the Senate and House of the Minnesota Legislature.

The biUs assert non-public grade and high school students are "entitled to the same rights and privileges" insofar as transportation is concerned as public school students. The bills specify that when a school district provides transportation, or any part of its costs, for public school students, it must make the same' provisions for nonpublic school pupils.

The measures are favored by the Minnesota Catholic Conference and the Citizens for Educational Freedom. A spokesman for the Minnesota Council of Churches said there appears to be "somewhaLdivided" opinions on the issue among the council's legislative committee.

Criticixe Prelate On Ap,pointments NEWARK (NC)-Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark <lnnounced the appcintment of two episcopal vicars to serve as liaison with the 'black and Spanish-speaking communities here, but was immediately criticized by inner city priests and Negro laymen, who charged the archbishop failed to consult them before naming the vicars.

~

Inner City Priests United for Christian Action, a 20-member group which last month accused Archbishop Boland of pursuing 'Yracist" policies, issued a statement deploring the manner in which the appointments were made.

The two priests named by Archbishop Boland were Father Joseph A. Stulb, now administrator of Blessed Sacrament Church, Newark, who will be episcopal vicar to the inner city, and Father Thomas Heck, assistant pastor of St. Columba's Church, Newark, episcopal vicar to the Spanish-speaking community.

Capeway and Norry Teams il1l Class C While the campaign is closing, not 'just 'beginning,' O'Brien will attempt to instill the same spirit and determination into his charges in the Fairhaven encounter which promises plenty of action albeit it's merely another game. .

Fairhaven, too, enters the final on a high note. The Blue Devils, twice champions of the Capeway Conference, saw the crown slip from their grasp into the hands of Dartmouth this Winter. However, with a few breaks, Fairhaven might have corraled a third consecutive title.

Coach Wayne Wilson's stalwarts up-ended loop leading Dennis-Yarmouth on the last night of league play to thwart the Dolphins' pennant aspirations. Dartmouth, meanwhile,

clinched the title, and, at the same time, assured itself of a Tech berth by besting Lawrence High of Falmouth. Dartmouth will prep for the post-season elimination competition tomorrow night when it entertains New Bedford Vocational of the Bristol County League.

Coach Al Palmieri's Capeway champions join Dennis-Yarmouth as the circuit's representatives in the Hub tourney. They are entered in the same class as the Narragansett. League cochampions, Holy Family of New Bedford and Case of Swansea.

Coach Jack Nobrega's Whaling City Parochials are rated NO.2 in Class C behind North Andover High. Case is in the number three seeded spot followed by Stoughton, Abington and Andover. \

Attleboro Battling for Garden Berth Like Stang, little Holy Family was also aN. E. Catholic tournament competitor and, like Stang, the Nobregamen split two contests. Things looked dismal for the Parochials in semi-final action against Don Bosco of Boston when four of the starting five fouled out. But, a good bench would not let victory slip away as the res.erves held on gamely, edging out a 76-72 triumph over the Roxbury aggregation.

The tired Narry co-champs, playing their third game in as many days, were unable to duplicate against victorious St. Stephen's of Worcester in the all-important title tilt although they made a gallant bid to overtake the Worcester club in the final stanza of play.

Down by nine points at the third intermission, the New Bedford Parochials rallied to knot the tally at 40-all with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The tourney Class B victors put together five straight points to barely eke out a 45-43 win as the Narry club made a valiant effort in the closing seconds.

Now, it's on to路 the Tech for Holy Family with an 'opportunity to aimex the Class C championship it managed two years ago.

Only one other area club is still in contention for a tourney invitation as the season winds to an end. Attleboro, at this writing, is within one victory of joining Durfee High of Fall River, the amazing perennials, in the Class A competition.

Attleboro must gain the invite the hard way, that is, at the expense of its arch-rival, North Attleboro. Projecting the result of a schoolboy basketball tussle is as dangerous as predicting the New England weather, but the more astute hardwood 'meteorologists' forecast that Coach Jim Cassidy's Jewelry City proteges are headed for the Garden.

Attleboro has turned back North 43. straight times on the hoop court. North was no match for the Cassidymen earlier in the season when it was toppled 71-50. It seems improbable that the Bombardiers will permit North to rip up their Tech tournament ticket.

While Greg Ouellette is breaking track records at Brown. University, Beverly Ouellette is "breaking her back" encouraging parents to s'how more interest in schoolboy sports. Both are proven champions.

The 5-9 Greg currently reigns as the New England long jump champion having shattered Bob Hendon's mark of 22-101/4 set in 1964 with a leap of 23-6% two weeks ago.

Ouellette is unbeaten in four meets this season and is the Bruins leading point getter with 26. Coach Ivan Fuqua calls the Wareham leaper, "one of the top long jumpers in the East." ' In addition to his jumping ability, Greg is a strong dash man and has run 50-yards in a sparkling time of 5.4.

As a sophomore he was Brown's leading point maker with 41 while the year before, he shattered the' school's 50-yard dash and long jump records.

Ouellette is a former track star at Wareham High School and the athletic idol of his mother, Beverly.

"We (along with husband, Leslie) followed every track meet through hi路gh school and have attended every nearby college meet," says Mrs. Ouellette, "and, I might add, we are very proud of Greg."

Mrs. Ouellette is very proud of the interest the town of Wareham has shown in her son.

"When Greg was invited to the Golden West Invitationals earlier this year, word' got around and within a few days friends,

Pope Tells Czechs 'Wait Out Storms' VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul, writing to Catholics of Czechoslovakia, has urged them to "wait under ~he shelter of a pure conscience until the storms that have been unleashed resolve themselves into a breath of air."

The Holy Father praised Czechs and Slovaks for showing fidelity to the, Holy See "with words and with courageaus actions," and declared: "Rest also assured that this Apostolic See, within the limits of its' abilities, wants to do its utmost and does its utmost to meet your needs." .

After referring to the restoration of the Eastern-rite Catholic Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia-which had been banned snce 1950 and its members pressured into joining the Orthodox Church-the Pope said.

"Thus we hope that before long the new juridical structure of the Church in ~lovakia will be implemented.

"We are certainly not unaware that those who decide to live piously in Jesus Christ always find themselves in the midst of distress and danger. Nevertheless may you never fail in courage. To act in a manly way, to suffer as the strong, to have a sure calmness, to wait under the shelter of a pure conscience until the storms that have been unleashed resolve themselves into a breath of air, is not all this the ancient emblem of a .-lRa5ue--lv-safre etaoin shrdl virtue that marks you?"

GREG OUELLETTE strangers and various organizations had contributed enough money to fly Greg and his coach to California. I can't say enough about the thoughtfulness of the town people," she concluded.

The Ouellette's live at 321 Onset Ave. in Wareham with two of their children.

Geofrey, 15, is a freshman at Wareham (High School while ll-year-old' Melanie is a fifth grade student at Minot Forest School. Eldest son, Barry, attends Wrentham State School in Wrentham, Mass.

In addition to track, Greg enjoys golf and bowling and was a member of the Buzzards Bay Bowlaway champion team in 1966.

Upon his graduation, the 20year-old Ouellette would like to do 'post graduate work in thc field of medicine.

Following his graduation from Wareham High in 1966, Greg received scholarships from the Onset Community Association, Onset Woman's Club and Marceaux Sports Scholarship Committee.

Ever since his highschool days, his mother has kept an up-to-date scrapbook on his athletic achievements. She explains her reasons this way.

"We, as parents, are very innterested in our son's accomplishments. We have become especially interested in track and would like to see more students participating in the sport."

"We've known so many wonderful boys who have been outstapding in high school, later on in college and, in a number of cases, have gone on to prove themselves on a national and international level."

"We strongly urge the support and encouragement of all parents," Mrs. Ouellette concludes.

With a supporter like that.

Greg Ouellette can't help but bc a success.
