Tremendous Response in Subscription Drive First 'Nine Parishes Reporting Gain Quota Sales for The Anchor " Has your, parish attained its quota of subscriptions to The Anchor for the ensuing year? And, if not, why not?

Rev. Joseph Larue, pastor of Sacred Heart in North Attle. boro, did not achieve his quota in the first year. Disappointed and dismayed, he set out the second year of publication of The Anchor and each year he has reported an increase in circulation•.

Fr. Larue passed the quota mark several years ago. "It won't be long before you are sending The Anchor by mail to

every h<?me in my parish," the venerable pastor asserted today.

"We will keep up our drive until we accomplish that goal. The ' day is not far away. You have a paper to be proud of and we are just as proud to be part of it by pushing sales."

Nine parishes scattered throughout the diocese today re­ ported they have either achieved or have exceeded their quotas of home-delivered sales of this diocesan newspaper.

Some of the nine have been in the quota bracket since this

weekly religious newspaper began publication in April 1957.

Other parishes have continued annually to increa~e their cir­ ecdation until they climbed into the coveted class.

Other parishes reporting today that they have' achieved their quotas are: Holy Trinity, West Harwich.

Immaculate Conception, North Easton.

Immaculate Conception, Fall River.

Sacred Heart, North Attleboro.'

St. Dominic's, Swansea.

St. John the Baptist, Central Village.

St. Joseph's, Fall Rj~er.

St. Joseph's New Bedford.

St. Louis, Fall River. ,-

But, there are. many parishes throughout the diocese that continue to fall far behind their quotas. And, quotas represent . .Iy a small part of the total number of. families in each parish.

,

However, the pastors are among the most loyal supporters .t The Anchor and are even alert to opportunities to realize an iilerease in parish quotas. ,

The successful quota parishes exemplify best the conten­ tion that every parish should, at least, be in th~, quota-;elass.

The quota-class parish vary in size and make-up. If one parish eau achieve its quota, theJl the 'next parish can do likewise.

Sacred Heart parish in North Attleboro is nearing a goal the Most Reverend Bishop has set for every parish in the dio­ cese. The North Attleboro parish is now moving toward com­ plete family coverage. That is what Bishop Connolly would tike to see done on a voluntary basis in every parish.

,

Early reports from oth'er parishes reaching the Circulation Department indicate at least another 10 or 12 will be in the quota bracket by weekend. We are eagerly awaiting the results from the ~ther SO-odd pa~ishes.

Jews Favor Private School Aid Rabbi Sherer Corrects 'Fallacious Imag.e lr WASHINGTON (NC) ­ An Orthodox Jewish educa­ tor has told Congress that it 'should face head-on the issue of how to meet the educa­ tional needs of children in re­ ligiously oriented schools.

Rabbi Morris Sherer, execu­ tive vice-president of Agudath Israel of America, told the House Education Committee that Congress must avoid I'sweeping under the rug" the question of Federal aid to these schools.

He testified before the com­ mittee on President Kennedy's omnibus educational aid pro­ posal (H. R. 3000). The bill's

recommendations on the elemen­ tary and secondary level would assist only public' schools. It would provide a four-year, $1.5 billion program of grants.

Speaking on behalf of 268 JewiSh schools in 27' states, the rabbi said that "logic and fair­ ness" demand that the needs of children in, private schools be considered.

"To discrimhiate against these children is to deny them their sacred birthright as Americans to benefit along with all other children," he said.

Rabbi Sherer stressed that his association does not seek an,. government assistance for school

religious studies programs. "Our parents shoulder this heavy ob· lig,ation Willingly and in good grace," he said.

"We seek equal gllvernment support only for the general

studies program of these schools which meet all the educational requirements of each state," he . added.

He appealed to Congress to pass such legislation now a~d avoid "fostering endless debate."

The issue, he said, must be "tested and resolved."

Call for Greater Cooperation

Between Doctors, Cle!9ymen

WILMINGTON (NC)-Greater eooperation between doctors and clergymen was urged at a meet­ ing of spokesmen for the two groups here.

Emphasis in the conference, sPonsored by the Delaware divi. sion of the American Cancer Society, was on the need for clergymen and physicians to take each other into confidence.

Father Eugene F. Clarahan, chaplain at state institutions in the Wilmington diocese, sug­ gested during a summary of the conference's deliberations that a plan should be drawn up by medical societies permitting doc. tors to revea' medical matters to a clergyman and allowing cler. gymen to read a patient's med· ical chart.

Respect for Truth Father Clarahan said clergy. men are taker into a doctor's' confidence in mental hospitals, but the lack of time on both sides stifles this practice in gen. eral hospitals.

Summarizing the question of whether, when and how to tell a. patient he i!: dying, Father Clar­ ahan said neither a physician nor a clergyman may tell a deliber­ ate lie to a patient. There must be respect for life and truth.

Two doctors stated that each patient is an individual with dif­ ferences llnd that even doctors cannot predict death with final. ity.

A third doctor advocated that the physician and clergyman get together to discuss the question of "when to tell."

Prolong Life The doctor, said ministers or members of the family some­ times ask him,"Why do you keep the p!tient alive with all those tubes and things?" The physi. cian said his reply is, "You pull out the tube, don't ask me to kill him."

Urges Domestic Peace Corps WASHINGTON (NC) - The president of the National Fed­ eration of Catholic College Stu­ dents has endorsed President Kennedy's proposal fQr a so­ called domestic Peace Corps.

NFCCS president John J. Simone, in a' statement com. municated to the Peace Corps Office, said the President's plan for a National Service Corps "marks a new peak in meeting the pressing social needs of our time."

Simone said that the National Service Corps would give indi. vidual young people "the oppor. tunity. to fulfill a part of the personal responsi~ility that is inherent in each American."

"Our commitment as Chris­ tians demands that any effort of this nature be met with support and participation," he said. "It. is our hope that the efforts of the corps may be conjoined with existing organizations in the field to muster the total effort that is needed to meet the chal­ lenge of today."

The first' conference will cos. sider the encyclical Mater d Magistra and a discussion will follow the, lecture. The second part of the conference will COD­ sist of a holy hour from 3 to 4.

Some of' the questions that will be studied are: how Call priests help people under obli­ gation to "loan sharks"; what are the advantages of a parish credit union; what about spend­ ing for non-essentials when they cannot be afforded; should priests enroll in Social Security.

There is no charge and priestll are welcome to attend single conferences when time does not allow them to spend the entire afternoon away from their parishes.

Dr. Lemuel C McGee, medical direct'or of Hercules Powder Company, gave several reasons for prolopging life to the utmost, some spiritual and some prac­ tical.

He cited the example of the interne who had the seemingly hopeless task of giving blood transfusion~ to four elderly men dying of pernicious anemia. A month after leaving this service, he stopped by and noticed the four men were gone. Supposing them to be dead. he inquired and w8.S told they w~re well and had gone home.

Mixed Response To T ee."(U1e Code LOUISVILLE (l'."'C) - What impact, if any, do "codes" of social belpvior have on teenage dating?

That question, raised in a sur­ Ney by the' Record, newspaper of the Louisville archdiocese, drew contrasting responses from local teenagers, E!ducators and others.

A "Code for Parents of Teen­ agers" listing do's and don'ts for· 12 to 18-year-olds was adopted in some archdiocesan parishes two years ago.

A nun at one local high school asserted that the code "is ac­ complishing nothing" and "exists only on paper." E:Ieven sopho­ mores at her school eloped dur. ing the Fall semester of the cur. rent school year.

'Great Help' A Sister at another school said, the code is "a great help to, teen­ agers." She said steady dating is declining in her school and noted that a Christmas dance there had to be canceled be. cause "not enough girls had dates to make it worthwhile.

The consensus', however, was that the code is no more effec­ tive in a teenager's life than the influence of his fellow teens will 'let it be. Many young people said that to be popular they have to do what their classmates are doing-and in many cases this includes steady dating.

Doctors Outline Ways to Help Stroke Victims, Emuhasize Need of Family Understanding

By Patricia McGowan Forming part of the observance of February as Heart Month was a discussion at Union Hospital, Fall River, of the rehabilitation of stroke victims. Dr. John C. Corri­ gan, Knight of St. Gregory, and member of Holy Name parish, also Fall River, was in charge of the program and Dr. Norman P. Hill was another participant. The doctors said that physician, family muscles controlling speech and and community m u s t co­ motion are not affected in the operate in efforts to aid the case of stroke, but that the nerve stroke patient, and Dr. Cor­

rigan emphasized the role of the family, declaring that the "great­ est qegree of charity" is required of those who live with a person who has, for instance, lost the power of speech.

Defining a stroke or shock as "impairment of part of the brain due to thE! cut-off of a branch of its blood supply," the physician. said that treatment must be prompt, thorough, continuous and long-term."

Immediate treatment of a stroke victim is important, said Dr. Corrigan, adding that proper and early medical care may mean the difference between an almost helpless patient and one who can take care of many of his personal needs. . Speech Therapy A stroke can be ''total catas­ trophe or merely 1m inconven­ ience," declared the doctors, with much depending on how the patient is handled and rehabil. itated.

Family Role In the early care of a stroke victim, medical considerations are paramount, but after a pa­ tient returns from the hospital the long-term task of his family begins.

From the physical standpoint families may need to learn the elements of home nursing; and proper exercises for affected limbs are also of paramount im­ portance. The patient can per­ form many exercises himself and others can be accomplished with assistance.

Lithuanian Reds Continue Drive Agai~st Church SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - Relaxation of restrictions in the Soviet Union since the death of Stalin has brou~ht no easing of pressures on the Church in Lithuania, according to a Lithuanian diplomat sta­ tioned at the Holy· See. "Essentially, nothing has changed," said Stasys Lozoraitis, secretary of the Lithuanian lega­ tion at the Vatican. Lozoraitis, here on a tour of the United States, noted that only three Lithuanian Bisnops are now liv­ ing and none of them is in his own diocese., Restrictions Galore Religious instruction is nearly impossible in Lithuania. he pointed out, because priests' are not permitted to teach more than one child at a time and lay people may not give religious instruction.

Adding to the difficulty is the fact ·that printed material from the West is not allowed into the country. Priests' cannot get bre­ viaries. At the one seminary serving th.e entire country, the 60 students are hard pressed for textbooks.

Monasteries and convents are not allowed in' Lithuania. Reli. gious communities of priests have been disbanded.

Persecution of the Church in Lithuania began in June 1940.

when the Russians invaded the country. Soon after the Germans arrived, and three years later the Russians were back again.

Constant Pressure Church leaders have ceen de­ ported, jailed or executed. Of nearly 2,000 priests, only some 750 now remain.

Yet, according to Lozoraitis, the will to freedom and fidelity to religion still remain strong in Lithuania.

"Despite Soviet indoctrination and constant pressure," he as­ serted, "youth is resisting splen­ didly."· Nor, he noted, has Lithu­

ania ever had a· "national"

other communist-ruled nations.

He said that the four men in question are known to hold "a similar, definite point of view on certain pivotal ecclesiastical issues and policies being debated by the bishops in the Ecumenical Counci1."

Unique Status Pointing to the Catholic Uni­ versity's "unique" status as an institution under the jurisdiction of all the Bishops of the United States, he said the university "takes no official position on those issues and policies stiU un­ resolved by the' Council."

Msgr. McDonald said he agrees with a published comment by Father Weigel that "the matter is not as important as it has been made out to be."

Invited to Speak He also confirmed that Father Weigel has been informally in­ vited to speak at the Catholic University's commencement ex­ ercises next Spring, but said ar­ rangements for this are not yet definite.

The tentative invitation to Father Weigel to speak at the graduation exercises was first disclosed by another priest dur­ ing a class which Father Weigel was conducting at the Catholic Pniversity on "The Church and Reunion." Father Weigel was guest speaker in university class­ rooms after. the controversy over the lecture series issue had erupted; Msgr. McDonald said in his statement that he has been in "close touch" with the facts of the case. A "recheck" of the facts, he said, "has contirmed the validity of the position taken by the university."

The Monsignor gave the facts of the ('ase as these: A representative of the uni­ versity's iraduate student coun-

a

cil, fonowing the usual proce~ dure, presented the university administr-1tion with :01 list of about a dozen names of persens it wished to b,; considered for invitations to spe.ak in a Lenten lecture series it sponsors. Four speakers were to be selected.

Specific 'Point of View .

The administration suggested that the four theologians in­ volved not be included in the list, because of their association with a specific point of view on issues being debated by the Ecu­ menical Council. .

Msgr. McDonald said the 'uni­ versity's reason for this "pru­ dential judgment" was to pre­ serve its impartiality on these issues. He said it is "regrettable" that its stand should actually have been interpreted by some as "partiality."

The Monsignor stressed that such issues are' treated in the classroom, and in faculty writ­ ings. at the university "so that students are daily' exposed to a variety of viewpoints and opin­ ions." He also' noted that 10 uni­ versity faculty members had been appointed to work on Ecu­ mencal Council commissions and said that before the opening of the Ecumenical Council the university conducted a series Df public lectures "covering all phases of conciliar history and doctririe."

Msgr. McDonald's statement paralleled an earlier explanation

by Msgr. Joseph A. McAllister, vice rector of the university, who said the university adminis­ tration felt that. by inviting the four theologian~ "at this time" to give public lectures:, the uni­ versity would seem to be "put'in the positior. of taking sides on these issues which are still being debated in the Ecumenical Council." He added that the uni­ versity "hal. no ob;entioll tg any of these men as such."

planners for a national meeting of Catholic youth here.

Manuel Cardinal Goncalves Cerejeira spoke to the heads of Portugal's Catholic youth 01'­ 'ganizations who are planning a meeting for April 21-22. It will i'nclude the Stations of the Cross through Lisbon's streets. A pre­ paratory pilgrimage to Fatima, some 60 miles north of here is planned for April 7 to 12.

The Cardinal ,recalled his joy at hearing Young Catholic Action leaders at a Fatima' pil­ grimage last September cry out: "The young opt for God." 'Intelligent Adherence' "Those who' do not opt for Him become the battlefield of blind forces, without intelli­ gence, without hope and without love," the Cardinal said.

"This choice of the young is not a flight from reality," he added, ·"but an intelligent and willful adherence to One Who is infinitely superior to anything in this world although He is al­ ways present in it."

Court Dismisses , Witness Appeal '

WASHINGTON (NC) - The Supreme Court has dis­ missed an .appeal by Jehovah's Witnesses whose children were expelled from .public school for ~sing to take part in singing tile National Anthem. . 'l"he court did not comment on • action in dismissing the ap­ peal by Mr. and Mrs. George W. 8beldon and Mr. and Mrs. Merle' Wallace Wingo.

The, Sheldons and Wingos aised the issue of religious liberty in their appeal, noting tbat the religious belief of Jehovah's Witnesses -do not per­ tait them to take part in singing ~ National Anthem'; which they eonsider "an act of religious worship."

Their sons Daniel Mark Sheldon, 12, Merle Will i a m Wingo,' 14, and Jere Bruce Wingo, 13 - were expelled from _ Arizona public school when 8ley refused to stand during the tIIlthem at a school music as­ ambly on September 29, 1961.

Three-Jodge Court The two 'couples filed a com­ plaint last Feb. 19 in the U.S. District Court for the District of .Arizona, seeking redress for the lIUeged "deprivation of their I'Jghts of freedom of religion and eonstience."

They asked the District Court to call a three-judge court to 1ae3~ the case. Such a court was «dered impaneled last April, but the District Court later dis­ impaneled it on the grounds that' the case was not the kind which -.us for it.

By Patricia McGowan Newest community of Sisters in the Fall River Diocese is that of the Sisters of the Resurrection,' who staff St. Saviour's Day Nursery at 405 County Street, New Bedford.

The Diocesan foundation is also the newest project of the community itself, which has Western and Eastern Provinces in the United States. Sisters in New Bedford note that they hope the foundation there will eventually form a daughter. Celine Chludzinska headquarters at Mt. St. Joseph, new Province with its own, Borzec;ka was born in ,Poland in Castleton on the Hudson, N. Y. Aspirants are received after novitiate "and will spread 1833. She always had the desire

out and expand as needs will be."

The Sisters of the Resurrection arrived in New Bedford in Jan­ uary, 1962, to open St. Saviour's.

They accommodate from 35 to 40 children five days a weeks.

The tots range from one to five years of age and may arrive. at the nursery as early as 6:30, staying until 5. They are served snacks at 10 and 3 and a hot dinner at noon.

Five Sisters . Five Sisters staff the nursery.

They are Sister Magdalene, Sis­ ter Andrea, Sister Casimira, Sister Rose and Sister Leandra, superior.

In addition to their work at the nursery, they teach cate­ chism to children of St. Hedwig's parish, also New Bedford, on Saturdays.

Although new to this Diocese, the Sisters of the Resurrection are active in seven countries.

Over 1,000 religious, divided in. to four Provinces, serve in nine Archdioceses and 17 Dioceses "We do everything," says Sis­ ter Leandra. Works include nurseries, homes fljr the .British ~ounty Aids schools, aged, hospitals, hostels for work­ ing girls and catechetical centers.

WILMINGTON (N C) - A Catholic organization and a city official have recommended more stringent control of magazines and books soW to young people as a step toward combatting ju..venile delinquency.

The Fourth Degree, Knights of of Columbus of Delaware, ap­ proved a resolution which called upon the General Assembly to enact legislation which would establish a review committee to control sales of magazines, books and other publications sold to youth.

The resolution, endorsed by Bishop Michael V. Hyle of Wil­ mington, suggested that the com­ mittee be named by the governor and represent Catholics, Protes­ tants and Jews The committee would be limited to reviewing literature on sale and recom­ mending that which should not be sold to juveniles.

Answer to Prayer

Shadow Over Catholic. University As reported in the Religion section of Time magazine for February 22, officials at the Catholic University of America in Washington have recommended that four prom­ inent theologians not be invited by the graduate student eouncil to speak in a Lenten lecture series sponsored by the council as an extracurricular activity.

The University rector, Monsignor William J. McDonald, gave as a reason for the action the fact that the four 'men in question are known to hold 44a similar, definite point of view on certain pivotal· ecclesiastical issues and policies being debated by the bishops in the Ecumenical Council."

The rector argued the validity of the University's stand as a "prudential judgement" made to preserve its impar­ tial.ity on these issues still unresolved by the council.

The action, despite Monsignor McDonald's diplomatic and soothing words, is a disturbing one. And especially when the four- men in question are considered.

The three American theologians are the Jesuits John Courtney Murray and Gustave. Weigel, arid the Benedic­ tine Godfrey Diekmann. The other is Swiss-born Father Hans Kung, professor at the German University of Tubingen.

These men are true Catholic intellectuals. Father Murray has been one of the few American Catholic thinkers who has addressed himself to the thorny problems of church-state relations with candor and objectivity. Father Weigel has, for many years, been almost alone amopg American Catholics in furthering the cause of ecumenism and in explaining to those outside the Church the nature of the Church and her mission as the Spouse of Christ in the world. He is consultant to the Vatican's Secretariat for 'Promoting Christian Unity. Father Diekmann is a dis­ tinguished liturgical scholar and a retreat master whose words of spiritual impact are as dynamic as the man him­ self is simple. Father Kung - whom some cannot forgive because of his extreme youth - is a theologian who has captured the attention of the religious world, Catholic and non-Catholic. He has expressed conclusions that others, per­ haps, have thought of, but have not put into the fresh and clear language that he has not feared to use. .

These men are not "dangerous" by allY standards.

They are not men who would incite students to disobedience or woo them from the true teachings of Holy Mother Church, not men likely to express themselves in concepts open to misinterpretation or misunderstanding by lesser intellects.

Without exception, they are men who would rather be known as good priests than as intellectuals. They have served the Ohurch with the wonderful combination of great intellectual force and true Christian faith.

They are men who would be among the first to submit .their views and conclusions to what the Church through her official teachers - the bishops - would proclaim.

The University does not make out a good case when it defends its actions on the grounds of preserving impar­ tiality. All four would not have to be rejected - just 88 an four would not have to be invited - to preserve im­ partiality.

• "'l'l)lore. these speakers, at best, would be talking about matters 0.. !mPl... a _ _ l e Church, matters which Catholics have been Ul'gtl.l l,U l:onsider, but matters which, in the last analysis, will be decided by the Council Fathers alone, not by University students, or professors, or theologians.

The action of the University officials is an unfortu­ nate one. The matter could have been handled in a far more sensible and wise· way. The suggestion could have been made to the student council, for example, that a more balanced program would be assured if only one or two speakers with the same point of view were invited to address the Lenten series audience. .

The action that was taken smacks too much of ·the arbitrary to be palatable to Catholics and non-Catholics on the whole.

The caliber of the four theologians is summed up by the reaction of one of them to the present situation. Father Weigel has commented that "the matter is not as important as it has been made out to be." The charity and calmness of that statement is indicative of the type of men involved.

It is a pity that others have not shown themselves to be of like stature.

MONDAY - First Week bt Lent. The notion of judgement, also, is prominent in the liturgy of Lent. Today's First Reading warms our hearts with the as­ surance that God has already rendered a judgement in making us members of His holy people, the Church, and has promised us that He cares and will lead us into '''fair pastures." The Gos­ pel cautions us not to be care­ less, not to live as if His Word were not present, but to be led

History Easter was always considered as the Solemnity of Solemnities, the greatest, most joyous feast imaginable. Such a graceful exp~rience could not go by too quickly. Much could be lost at. eternal value if one were to be even a bit careless here. So, Christians took pains to prepare adequately for this great feast.

At first, one or two days of fast were established. Then, real­ izing even better the importance of the feast, the preparation also grew longer.. Someone remeI&­ bered Christ's (and the Old Testament's) 40 days of fast. SiK weeks were set aside for prepaJI­ ation, therefore. But one was not allowed to fast on Sunda)J8 (this would destroy the true meaning of th~ Lord's Day) 8ft the extra days were added to the beginning and our Lent began yesterday.

Easter Preparation To separate Lent from Easter renders it unintelligible. Lent .. the road that leads to an unde')). stood and appreciated Easter.

Each step along the way-each day's Mass-has been carefull,v chosen (and, thanks be to Pope John, returned to its true impoJloo tance) so al> to. give Our prepaJloo ation a real meaning. Day after day we shall hear of the fact that we were redeemed, the pains of such a redemption (00& particularly' ours but God's), we shall appreciate more deeply the Sacrament 'of Baptism, the Res­ urrection without which the Passion is just another morbid story ... without which 0 Faith is nothing.

The prayers of these' Masses will refer to the instruments of our Lenten work-prayer, fa~ ing, almsgiving, etc. This is OUl' Lenten work: "to purify our sO\.ils and minds and hearts ill order to celebrate more fitting17' the great feast of our redemp­ tion."

Baptism made us other Christa.

Now "we enter with Christ into the desert during these fort,' days; we stretch ourselves ouit . upon the Cross; we die to sin and to our lower nature; we suffer with Him that we may be glori­ fied with Him; we re-enact iD. our bodies the Mystery of His suffering and dying, so far • we are able."

Spiritual Renewal The last few Sundays should haver prompted us to call Olll' own personal "council". Now, having passed the- threshold we should realize the work that is before us. We should all be co&­ scious-each one of- us-of the spiritual renewal needed in each one of us. That we should ~ tempt to bring about by penance. prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

Central Village,. Serves

• 600 Catholics tn Westport Area

By Avis C. Roberts

,-

St. John the Baptist, Church in Central Village was constructed in 1912 mainly through the efforts of Rev. John B. DeValles, pastor of. Espirito Santo Church, Fall River. Today it is the' parish of 600 communicants, mainly dairy farmers and their fami­ lies. The church, now under the pastorate of Rev. John G. Carroll, is of cement construc, tion and is located south of Four Corners in Central Vil­ lage. B e for e the present building was erected, West­ port residents worshipped in a private, farmhouse.

The parish was officially formed by Bishop Feehan in 1930 and Rev. Timothy J. Calnen of New Bedford was named first pastor, serving until 1934.

Rev.. Patrick H. Hurley was pastor from '1935 to 1940 and was succeeded by Rev. Edward B. Booth, Rev. Edward F. Dowling and Rev. James E. Mc­ Mahon. Rev. William R. Jordan was pastor prior to Father Car­ roll.

The central altar' of the small churcl1, which has a seating capacity of' 250, is flanked by statues of the Blessed Virgin, Sacred Heart and .the Infant of Prague. The beige walls display small blue and white bas relief stations of the cross. Father Stedman missals are supplied to Mass~goers at the Sunday 8:30 and 10:30 Masses. Daily Mass is at 7:15.

There is a small chojr 10ft in

the church and a hand-written

honor roll of parishioners who

served in World War n.

An active organization is the Ladies Guild, which has an an­ nual country fair alld undertakes many other projects in the course of the year.

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 28, 1963

Says Federal Aid To All Colleges 15 Constitutional WASHINGTON (NC) ­ There is nothing in the U.S, Constitution which prevents Federal aid to all colleges, the House Education Committee has been told.

John R. Howard, president of Lewis and, Clark College Port­ land, Ore., made the claim in 'testimony. He represented small ij.beral arts colleges on a panel of college educators who spoke in favor of President Kennedy's proposals for aid to higher -edu­ cation.

Get Federal Support Howard said church-related and other private colleges tra­ itionally have relied on private support, but that they also "have for many year" received support from Federal, state and local governments through tax relief."

"With all respect to those who ,think otherwise," he said, "we are convinced that there is nothing in the constitution of the United States to debar the Fed­ eral government., from' assisting colleges alld universities, what­ ever the'ir affiliation, in the per. formance of their proper educa­ tion functions," he said.

by stressing the positive ele­ ments in the news.

Speaking 10 members of the Italian and the Foreign Press Associations, the Holy Father declared that although the de­ signs of God are often hidden from men, "your profession w01l1d require you not only to interpret events but sometimes also to anticipate their course."

He reminded newsmen of their dependence on God in their pro­ fession, say in g that "man, measuting his own smallness and frailty, should never presume to trust too much to his own ,judg'ments.

"Even when vested with high authority, when expert in know­ ledge and gifted with talents, man cannot fail to bow before divine wisdom and tremble at the huge contribution required of him in cooperating in the spread Wf truth and love, of cooperating in the education of his brothers who have immortal souls."

Persuasive Appeal The relationship bet wee n Creator and c rea t u r e, the Supreme Pontiff declared, is called religion, which binds everyone and has implications for the delicate task of the jour­ nalist.

Deplores Exclusion Women's Council President Sees Bad

Effects on Education, Parents

WASHINGTON (NC) - The president of the National Coun. eil of Catholic Women said here exclusion of private schools from Federal aid bills can have a bad effect on education and on parents.

Mrs. Joseph McCarthy of San Francisco, in a statement issued from NCCW headquarters here, said that exclusion of· these schools "violates the traditional concept of a dual system of edu­ cation."

"When the power and prestige of the Federal government is confined to one segment of our educational system, a precedent of dangerous implications is established.

"The first long step toward a national governmental school sYstem will have been taken if the Congress follows this policy of directing aid to one part of American education," she said.

lect a school sYstem based OD religious principles."

"As a matter of fact," she said, "their free choice should be facilitated by government. In effect the discriminatory legisla­ tion proposed undermines the basic concept of religious free­ dom."

"In the recent message to the Congress on. the educational needs of America," Mrs. McCar­ thy noted, "it was observed that 'our concern is for the future of our children.' 'The concern of millions of Catholic mothers across the' country is for 'our' children also."

ANNAPOLIS (NC)-A bill to permit civil marriage in Mary­ land was killed in the House Judiciary Committee despite the backing of clergymen of the three major faiths.

The measure, sponsored by Delegate Alexander Stark, would have permitted clerks of the Circuit Courts or the Su­ preme Bench of 'Baltimore to officiate at marriages. Maryland is the only state requiring that marriages be performed by clergymen.

The Catholic Review, news­ paper of the Baltimore arch­ diocese, had called the present measure "a spiritual shotgun marriage law" Legislate PietY' Shortly before the bill favor­ ing civil marriages was defeated, the Review had commented edi­ torially: "We do not think it is the function of the state to legislate personal 'liety. . . We think the Maryland law requiring a C'lergyman for marriages in. fringes upon freedom of con­ science. We do not believe that it is the sort of law which con­ tributes to the advancement of true religion or to the defense of America's embattled religious heritage."

Major Council' Trend 'Prelate Sees New Importance Attached To Regional Conferences of Bishops 'BROOKLYN (NC)-The 1mportance attached to' regional conferences of bishops is probably the most important trend established by the Second Vatican Council so far, Bishop Bryan J. McEntegart of Brooklyn said here.

"It is, perhaps, the way in which the Church, under divine guidance, proposes to face the, fact that it now is actually ful­ filling Our Lord's command to teach all nations," he said.

Speaking at the 21st annual convention of the Brooklyn Dioc­ esan Council of Catholic Women, Bishop McEntegart declared: "The vote on liturgical propo­ sitions seems to point the way toward a possible decisive revi­ sion in that important phase of the Church's life. It is quite likely that the first part of the Mass--called the Mass of the Catechumens--will be permitted to be said in the vernacular when the bishops of an area request it.

'''If the Holy Father approves, regional conferences of the bish. ops will fulfill a much more im. portant role in the determina­ tion of the exact form of the liturgy for their respective areas."

ConHnue Oppo~Hon To Private School Aid ATLANTIC CITY (NC)-The American Association of School Administrators, at the conclud­ ing session of its 95th annual convention here, again went on record as opposing use of Fed­ eral school money for anything but public schools.

The association, a department of the National Education Asso­ ciation, reiterated its belief in a resolution which said: "Federal financial support of public education should follow the principle of restricting the use of public tax moneys to pub­ ' licly controlled and supported schools."

Catholic Agency Aids Handicapped Exiles MIAMI (NC)-The Miami of­ fice of Catholic Relief Services­ National Catholic Welfare' Con­ ference, which has helped reset­ tle some 31,000 Cuban refu~ has also aided ill and handi­ capped among the exiles at a eost of more than $17,000.

Frequent Communicants Are .IEvery-Day', Saints VANCOUVER (NC) - Catho­ lics who frequently receive Holy Communion are the "every-day saints of the Second Vatican Council year," Archbishop W. M. Duke of Vancouver said here.

He spoke in French at the clos­ ing exercise of three days (}f prayer in Blessed Sacrament church marking the canoniza­ tion of St. Peter Julie'n Eymard, founder of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers and a promoter of devo­ tion to the Eucharist.

"There are 930,000 Religious in the world who receive Com­ munion practically every day," the Archbishop said. "Added to this must be the Catholic people and the children of all the' par­ ishes and missions of the world who come to Communion at every opportunity and wl\o to­ day are the consolation of the Church and the everyday saints of this Second Vatican Council :rear."

PARVULI DEI AWARD: Nineteen Cub Scouts from St. John Baptist and St. Lawrence parishes, New Bedford, received the Parvuli Dei award at ceremonies Sunday. Mrs. Anne F .. Cusson, den mother for St. Lawrence Fack 1, con­ gratulates Stephen Sciscento, also from St. Lawrence, and Joseph Vera, St. John Baptist Pack 17.

Michael J. Howlett, Illinois State Auditor of Public Ac­ counts, charged that the pro­ gram's purpose is "to reduce the birth rate among relief reci­ pients to save taxes."

"The basic philosophy' is that contraceptives are cheaper 'than babies," Howlett declared in an address to a Knights of Colum­ bus banquet here.

Howlett was one of four mem­ berJl of the Illinois Public Aid Commission who voted against using tax funds to supply birth control information and devices to any public relief recipient "with a spouse or child" who re­ quests them. Six members of the co~mission voted in favor of the program in early December~ ,The Illinois program has beeD. , a subject of nationwide contro­ versy since them.

Howlett said that under the program tax-paid contraceptives would go not only to married women living with their hus­ bands but also to "unmarried girls, widows, divorcees and to married women who don't live with their husbands. H

Approves Miracles

Although he and the other aiel commission members who op­

posed . the program are Catho­

lics, Howlett said, they were

not seeking to impose their re­

1'he United States has done more to help the destitute thaa any other country in the history of the world - since the last War, we have given some 76 billion dollars in foreign aid. But this aid is principally technical and monetary, a fact stemming partly from our Puritan background, which made hard work the na­ tional virtue. Today material success has been substituted for hard work and money has become our national virtue. Thus, our aid tends to express itself materially, technically and financially. As one Asiatic put it: "We lived in the hope that you might give us love, but you gave us machinery and money."

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Harry and Bonaro Overstreet, who a few years ago, produced an invaluable handbook on Communism, now 'turn their attention to one of the principal features of the Communist empire, The Iron Curtain (Norton. $4.50). The name, of course, was coined

by Winston Churchill in crises in production inevitably 1946, but the reality, al­ recur in the Soviet system; it is for example, that there has though denied by the So­ also, emerged a class of experts in viets, has functioned since the days of Lenin and ever must remain, in the Overstreets' judg­ ment, an inte­ gral feature of the Communist system. The I ron Curtain, the y aver, is unique iI.l hu­ man history. No fl the r nation has ever de­ vised a more complex and complete bar­ rier between it­ self and the outside world. It constitutes a concrete definition of what Communism takes to be the proper relationship between its sphere and the realm of freedom.

It consists not merely of the artificial physical barriers which rim unbroken for some 6,000 miles between the Arctic Ocean and Iran, but also of travel reo strictions, censorship, radio jam. ming, the rewriting of history, and so on.

Two Purposes It proclaims that there is ir­ reconcilable enmity between the Communist concepts and prac­ tices and all others. It also pro­ claims the Communist insistence cn totalitarian control of its sub. jects and on their isolation from, and immunization against, ideas other than the Communist and persons holding such ideas.

The Iron Curtain h'as two pur­ poses: first, to keep in-that is, "to keep the people where the Party wants them to be and to keep them subject to influences I)f the Party's choosing until they can be brought to the point where they will feel free in ad­ hering to the Party line"; second­ ly, to keep out.-that is, "to make 1;he Party the supreme arbiter of contacts between the two orbits."

Before Stalin - Since the Iron Curtain was so designated for the first time during Stalin's rule, it m~y be thought of as having been brought into being by him. The Overstreets show that it existed before he came to power.

Nor did it cease to be when he died. Khrushchev is commonly credited with having somewhat liberalized contacts between the Communist and non-Communist worlds. But he has done nothing of the sort.

The Party now has extremely efficient and for reaching psy­ chological controls. It "has the machinery it needs for enacting total watchfulness and total in­ terfeaence in private lives."

In the social laboratory which Dependent on Party _ Khrushchev runs, man is being rJdesigned. And this is not done by -brainwashing. Rather, it it done, first, by making everyone and everything utterly depend­ ent on the Party: the Party has a monopoly of the ways of making It living, of rewards and punish. ments, of access to educa~ion, work opportunities, living space.

Secondly, and even more tell­ ingly, the private aspects of life are all but eliminated and, exist'­ ence is so thoroughly socialized as to convince a person that he is the creature of the collectivity, with no intrinsic, individual sig­ nificance or value and no re­ course.

But for all Khrushchev'ssuc­ cess in this respect, the Overstreets feel that time is working against his-or his successor's-­ indefinitely maintaining tight control over the people.

It is not only that every dic­ tatorship undergoes an erosion of its powers. not only that

Shee~

It is hard for a government to love. But that is where we, who believe in Our Lord and His Mystical Body, come in. We have to put a soul into the cadaver of foreign aid; we - have to become more loving of the poor of the world. We live Catholic lives only if we have "a heart of tire for God, a heart of flesh for others, a heart of steel for ourselves."

When we say Africa and As-ia, we have names before us - not faces or hands or stomachs. Our Faith must remind -us that these countries are filled with persons; that God summons us right now, as we read this column, to help these peoples. How many of us think beyond our parish, our college, our community? How much room is there in our mind for others? Not those who love us. but those who are unloved?

The government may be doing its duty to underdeveloped nations as it sees it; it liishes to make them our friends and our first trenches in defense of democracy. But are we loving those whom Christ has committed to our care? You may say that continents and countries are too big to love, that we cannot love Oceania. or Vietnam. Granted!

Cites Importance Of Small College In Education LOS ANGELES (NC) The president of St. Mary's (Calif.) College calculates that the small Catholic lib­ eral arts college is in the main­ stream of American education.

B rot her Timothy Michael, F.S.C., adds that St. Mary's, for one, firmly intends to stay there.

The nation will be poorer if the small colleges are stranded by the tidal wave of Federal and state grants to both tax-sup­ ported and large private univer­ sities, said the young Christian Brother during an interview here.

Brother Timothy came here during a statewide tour con­ nected with St. Mary's centen­ nial celbration. At a dinner in the California Club, an honorary degree was conferred on James Francis Car din a 1 McIntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles, by Brother Timothy on behalf of St. Mary's Bas Four Marks Appraising St. Mary;s place in American education, B rot her Timothy said the college has four marks-size, independence, emphasis on religion and dedi­ cation to liberal arts.

"Because of these," he said, "St. Mary's has a contribution to make to the mainstream of education in California in this technological age. Its role is one of counterbalance to the large universities, one of striking an essential theme."

The mark of Catholicism, Brother Timothy said, means that St. Mary's transmits "a reli­ gious tradition that is part of American tradition. Our whole culture would be something less without it."

The mark of independence, Brother Timothy asserted, is an assurance and expression of difference, responsibility and freedom in seeking the truth wherever it may be found.

Smallness in a eollege, he continued, "creates a" closeness between teacher and students" and promotes scholarship.

Home Seminary ALLAHABAD (NC) - Every Catholic home should be trans­ formed into a sort of minor seminary or potential novitiate, Archbishop James Robert Knox, Apostolic Internuncio to India, said in inaugurating St. Joseph's Seminary's new chapel and Catholic information center here in India.

Sending of Medal Followed Protocol VATICAN CITY (NC)-The sending of a medal commemo­ rating the Second Vatican Coun­ cil by Pope John to Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticos has no special significance, accord­ ing to informed sources here.

A Cuban broadcast reported that the medal had been pre­ sented to President Dorticos at a special ceremony in Havana.

Other reports from Havana stated that Msgr. Cesare Zacchi, auditor at the Apostolic Nuncia­ ture in Havana, and Luis Amado­ Blanco y Fernandez, the Cuban Ambassador to the Holy See, were among those attending the award ceremony. . It was pointed out here that the Pope sent·a gold medal com­ memorating the council to the heads of all the states that sent official representations to the opening session of the council.; In all, 86 special diplomatic mis­ sions attended the solemn' open­ ing of the council.

.Conley President Of University

Since the refugee ilid program

was started two years ago, CRS­

NCWC has resettled about 31,­

000 Cubans with the assistance

of diocesan resettlement direc­

tors, said James J. Norris, as­

sistant to the executive director

of CRS-NCWC.

BRIDGEPORT (NC) - Wil­ liam H. Conley, educational as­ sistant to the president of Mar­ quette University, M;ilwaukee, will be the first president of the newly established Sacred Heart University here, Bishop Walter W. Curtis of Bridgeport has an­ nounced.

The new diocesan university will open next September with a freshman class of 300, both men and women, and a faculty and administrative staff of 30.

Conley said at the university will be the first Catholic one in the country to be administered and almost completely staffed by lay persons. Priests, he said, will serve only for the teaching of theology and for counseling and guidance.

Be~ds Study Conley is currently on leave from his post at Marquette to head a study of Catholic educa­ tion in the United States, fin­ anced by a grant from the Car­

negie Foundation. ~rhe study ~

being carried out at the Univer­

sity of Notre Dame. Conley will assume his new duties here on May 1.

Bishop Curtis also announced the appointment of Maurice J. O'Sullivan, associate dean of Seton Hall University, Newark, N.J., as the vice president and dean of Sacred Hearl Universi~.

He spoke at a meeting be­

tween officials of the U.S. De­

partment of Health, Education

and Welfare and four national

voluntary agencies that have

major responsibility for carrying

out the resettlement program.

Lauds Parish Plan Ain HEW official said he feels

that to solve the refugee prob­

lem it will be necessary to

double the resettlement rate of

Cuban refugees from the present

500 per week to 1,000 per week.

Norris said that the parish sponsorship plan for" refugees, which has been very successful in Kansas City and Los Angeles, is being expanded by CRS­ NCWC. Under the plan men and women of a parish assist Cuban refugees in finding jobs and homes and in getting them ac­ customed to their new environ.­ ment.

Norris stressed that "resettle­ ment means more than just moving people." He said "it in­ volves integration - soc i a I, economic and religious - and this is the important role of the private agency in the resettle­ ment of refugees."

Committee, has hailed the SecOnd Vatican Council for "adftlncing friendship among all zeligious groups," , Dr.' Slawson said he was profoundly gratified "for the leadership of Pope John in taking measures which would help to move the world toward a new order of human relations for en groups." , He said he was particularly IJ1()ved by the Pope's declaration that "all men are brothers irre, spective of the race or nation to which they belong." and added: "The Vatican Council, in confronting seriously the problem of enti-Smeitism, could set in motion a widespread and effective program to combat this evil.

Thus, the ~ouncil could pave the way toward increased Catholiclewish cooperation and authentic dialogues among our faiths."

Eliminate References Dr. Slawson added that in the United States a reappraisal of Christian-Jewish relations has been spurred by studies of Catholic, Protestant and Jewish text books aimed at "eliminating negative or hostile references to other religious groups."

Those studies, he said, now are being carried out with the cooperation of the American Jewish Committee at St. Louis (Mo.) University, Yale University divinity school, Union Theological Seminary, and the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning.

Bishop Wright sees grounds for "grave concern" at implica­ tions of the U. S. Supreme Court's June, 1962, decision bar­ ring official prayers and reli­ gious exercises from public schools and at lower court deci­ sions on laws dealing with por­ nography, narcotics and prosti­ tution.

He said, "aggressive secular­ ism" is behind the trend toward such a pattern. "They forget,'; he said, "that unless the Lord build, they labor in vain who strive to build the human city."

Rabbi Finkelstein related sec­ ularism's impact on public edu­ cation. "Our colleges," he said, "are the seats of great spiritual confusion."

Reaffirm Stand On Federal Aid

Hi"ral'chy ~everses Policy 0,,- .Federal Aid to Schools

.ATLANTIC CITY (NC)-The president of the American Asso­ ciation of School Administrators reaffirmed here his organiza­ tion's belief in Federal aid to public schools only.

Irby B. Carruth, superintend­ ent of schools; Austin, Texas, told a press conference that the AASA; a department of the Na­ tional Education Association, has made no changes in its past stands against Federal aid for education in private scho~ls.

In a closed circuit television broadcast to delegates at the convention, Jacob Fox, counsel for the Newark, N. J., board of education said that the major and fundamental constitutional problems of our times are being settled in court cases involving the nation's schools. He cited racial justice and protection of' religious rights as among such issues.

August W. Steinhilber of the U. S. Office of Education said on the 15-minute program that the U. S. Supreme Court's position on religion in public schools would be defined more clearly this year since the court will rule on· issues involving recita­ tion of the Lord's Prayer, read­ ing of the Bible and observance of religious holidays.

By Most Rev. Robert J. Dwyer, D. D. Bishop of Reno

.

Old canards never die; sometimes, happily, they do fade away, but more often they outlast the ages, advancing from strength to strength. Take,' as a contemporary ex­ ample, the popular fable that the American Catholic hier­ archy is now unfolding an­ The historian of the Catholic other phase of its long range 'program to enforce the pay­ Church in America, writing, say, years fron: now, may well ment of public funds for the 50 be puzzled by this lack of a

support of its private school sys­ tem. The idea here is that long, long ago, back in Wqshington's day or maybe Polk's, the Bish­ ops of the coun­ try, all sinister fellows equip­ ped with cloak and dagger, for­ gathered in some dank and mildewed cellar and there hatch­ ed the foul plot they have been sedulously nur­ turing ever since. ,(Sometimes we feel that with a little encouragement we could do as well at this kind of gambit as the old masters themselves, > Mr. Paul Blanshard and Mr. Glenn Archer. Indeed, we seem to detect ,)f late a falling-off in ,the verve 'and quality of their offerings. This is all the more regrettable in a world which is suffering from a lack of merri.

D).ent, ,innocent or otherwise. Of course, it does place' the imagin­ ation under heavy tribute.)

Working Out Details Now. the dubious compliment iIriplied is that the Bishops of yesteryear were prophets and seers, even if prophets of evil arid seers of doom. it supposes that they put their h~ads together and planned and plotted the course of the future, leading from weakness, up through strength, and marking the path for the ignorant and sheep-like laity to follow, in order one day to reach the goal now looming in sight.

And it concludes that the pres­ ent or current hiel"archy, worthy of the succession, is now subtly working out· the last details of the strategy.

Corporate Action We are almost tempted to wish this were true, for it sounds so clever. But.alas, here eminently is, a case where fact must yield the palm to fiction.

It might well be' conceived, purely as speculation, that a body of men as alive and alert as the American Bishops since the days of John Carroll, men so deeply 'concerned with the prog­ ress and prospects of Catholic education in their dioceses, men, above all, belonging to an un­ ·broken tradition and united in obedience to the common au­ thority of the Apostolic See, should have devised some such continuing strategy.

It most certainly would have illustrated their foresight and proved the efficacy of corporate action.

Not Even Ghost of Plot And there need have been nothing in the least sini'ster about it, painful'though it may be to jettison such a picture of intrigue.

There is nothing either sub­ versive or fascinating about seeking for public funds for the legitimate performance of public service. It is a matter of justice, and justice is the most prosaic .of virtues.

But the plain and unadorned fact of the matter is that there has never been a plot on the part of the American hierarchy to obtain such funds, whether by necromancy or by due process of law. There has not even been the ghost of a plot.

New Record WASHINGTON (NC)-A new record was established when 1,144 Catholic books were pub­ lished during 1962, according to Eugene P. Willging, director' of libraries of the Catholic Uni­ versity of America here.

plan, this total absence. of any­ thing like co-ordinated action on the part of the American hierarchy.

Fact Is There He will not be able to avoid describing the fact that from the time of the First Plenary Coun­ cil of Baltimore, in 1852" for well-nigh a full century, the Bishops moved no muscle to ob­ tain anything substantial or con­ siderable in the way of public fund&, state or' federal, for the support of the Catholic school system.

He might ascribe this to many and various causes, from lack of interest to lack of foresight, but it will be clear, as day to him, on the impeccable evidence, that the fact was 'ther,e.

'Only in Essay True enough, there were a few individual Bishops who from time to time skirmished with the problem Qf school sup­ port and predicted that there might well be trouble ahead.

It did. not escape the perspi­ cacity of that wise philosopher of Christian education, Bishop John Lancaster Spalding of Peoria, that there could be dif­ ficulties in the path, of the Catholic Church trying to go it alone in the educational field.

He saw plainly enough that a state. system supported by the enormous and ' unhampered power of taxation represents a competition almost impossible to meet on anything like equal terms.

But it is not on record that he ever thought .of carrying, his speculation farther than the page of his essay. And. the same is largely true of Arehbishop John Ireland, of St. Paul, whose' con. cern was in part dictated by the stringencies of the Depression of 1893.

Laity Concerned 'The historian will note that until this ntidpassage of the 20th century the consensus of the American hierarchy was that public aid, while owed in justice to all schools serving the public interest, need not be sought as a matter of policy for the Cath­ olic system.

During the past decade, how­ ever, this policy, of necessity, has been reversed. Federal aid to schools has emerged as the par­ amount factor in the national education program. It brings into sharp focus not only the question of educational justice but the question of educational survival. , In this reversal of front on the part of the American Church the impetus has come even more prominently from the concerned laity than from the hierarchy.

It is a new America. All of us, Catholic and non-Catholic, poli­ tician and populace, hierarchy and laity, are finding it a little difficult to adjust.

But as for a plot * * * nothing stirring!

School A.-d Continued from Page One cause "a fallacious image has been projected to the American public of the Jewish position on thi~ issue."

"The prevailing view of the vast majority of Orthodox Jewish citizens of our country, who alone because of personal commitment are intimately in­ volvedwith the fate of the Jewish day - school movement, strongly favors enactment of legislation which would provide Federal aid to all the school children of our nation without "discrimination," he said.

,Stress Semi.nary Training in Use Of Mass Media

By Jaek Kineavy

Thrilling, late-game surges by Coyle Warriors and 'the Blue Wave of Holy Family High fell just short of bringing twin titles to the Fall River Diocese last Sunday in the championship round of the 30th New England Catholic sehoolboy basketball tourna­ Tech. Cathedral High of Boston, ment at Lawrence. The pat­ tern in both games was 58-45 victim of Holy Family on ' Saturday, will compete in Class somewhat the same in that B of Tech this week.

both .Coyle and Holy Family faced first half deficits that were apparent­ ly insurmount­ able. In Coyle's case this proved true, though in the final count the margin of loss was by a single poi n 1, 60-59.

St. Johns of Shrewbury suc­ cessfully d e ­ fended the i r ClasS A laurels and in so doing annexed their seventh champi­ onship in New England Catholic competition. Coyle, LaSalle In­ vitational titlists and Bristol COWlty League runnerup, turned in a fine tourney performance.

The War rio r s moved past Matignon, 63-54, then over­ whelmed Cardiool Spellman of Brookton, 53-34, enroute to the finals. Matignon, incidentally, has accepted an invitation to the National Ca'tholic Tourney in Washington, D.C. and will forego participation in Tech.

Spellman was tabbed the Cinderella Team a£ter its quar­ terfinal 67-58 vic tor y over hitherto unbeaten Bishop Brad­ ley of Manchester, N.H. Bradley entered the competition with a sparkling 20-0 record. The War­ riors' talented Ron Richards posted a three game total of 60 points and, coincidentally, had a 20 point distribution in each game. Ron was a solid All_ Tourney choice. Bob Tallman with an 11 point per game aver­ age and backcourtman Jeff Mansfield also turned in top per­ formances.

Coyle-Williams The Warriors after a four day

respite from tourney competi­ tion are set to move against' Archbishop Williams of Brain"; tree in Class A qualifying round contest at the Garden tomorrow night at 6 P.M. This will be the first of a three game card which also features Braintree vs. Lynn English-Brookline winner and concludes with an intraleague battle between Somerville and Malden.

While Coyle nearly erased a 10 point deficit with less than two minutes remaining, Holy Family actually overcame a nine point lead which St. Mary's of Worcester enjoyed going into the third period of play. The Blue Wave threw up such a stout defense that they limited St. Mary's to a total of four points during the entire third period and part of the fourth.

Instrumental in the Holy Family surge was the eon sis ten t shooting of Jack Townley whose three quick hooks at the outset of the third quarter put the New Bedford club back in contention.

At one point early in the final period Holy Family moved out in front by four, 36-32, but the hustling St. Mary's team bounced back. The lead changed hands intermittently until the 1:15 mark when the Worcester club fashioned the winning basket.

Two successful foul conversions followed to make the final tally 44-41, St. Marys. It was a thriller all. tp.e way.

Third Time Sharing scoring honors for Holy Family in the finale were Richie Pariseau, Jack Townley and Tim O'Leary each of whom had 10 points. Pariseau who hit for 18 against Cathedral on Saturday was named to the Class B All-Star team. Coach Jack Nobrega's charges were making their third successive appear­ ance in New England competi­ tion and on a level one notch higher than they are rated ill

The Blue Wave after a short one day's reSt had a Tuesday night engagement with North Andover High, the winner to go against Class C's ohly unbeaten team Sharon, tomorrow night at Natick. Could be that Holy.

Family partisans will be a much­ traveled group 'ere long. Sharon, by the way, is coached by Dud Davenport whom many will re­ member as the young man who led Westport High to its only hoop title in recent. memory.

Durfee High got the South­ eastern Mass. Tech contingent off too to a winning start Mon­ day night by downing a sur­ prisingly strong Chelsea High quintet, 78-62, in a qualifying Class A contest at Boston 'Gar­ den. The fiool score .belies the actual closeness of the tilt which degenerated only in the waning minutes after Chelsea's talented pivotman Lew Perkins had exited on fouls. A big fellow, 6-5, 250 pounds,' Perkins vir­ tually singlehandedly kept his club in contention as he took individual scoring honors with 25 points.

Trio The·Hilltoppers' prolific front line trio spelled the difference. however, ~ach getting hot at various stages to insure a lead that, though threatened, was never overcome. John Isador was high man for Durfee with 24; Ed Berube clicked for 19 and Ed Siegfried, who drew his fifth foul midway through the final period, tossed in 17. Dur­ fee, seeded No.3 in Class A, will meet the winner of the Catholic Memorial-Boston Tech game in the quarterfinal round next week.

Ranked No.1 is Beverly High, the only undefeated team in Class A competition. Defending champion Rindge Tech, 17-1 on the .season holds the No. 2 spot and Somerville High, like Dur­ fee a Tech _mainstay, is seeded fourth. Under this arrangement should Durfee and Somerville parley their tourney talents for­ tuitously, they could meet in the fip-a!. Just thinking out loud.

A well done to North Attle­ boro and Provincetown Highs for their championship perform­ ances in the Bay State Tourney.

The Rocketeers, led by Tom Schmidt, defeated Burlington, 54-51, to take Class B honors, while Provincetown ruled the roost in Class D by virtue of a 42-40 victory over Christian High of Boston. Plaudits also to Coach Ham Lane and his Taun­ ton High team that went to the championship round in Class A of Bay State before dropping a 59-42 decision to Winchester.

Anthony Abraham, former Boston College athlete, has again been named as chairman of the annual Father Donovan C.Y.O. Scp.olarship Fund college all-star game. The date this year will be Tuesday evening, April 2. The third edition pf this contest will take place at the Bank Street Armory, Fall River.

Private School Nationa I Asset PIQUA (NC) - The existence of private schools is an asset both to the country and to public schools, a priest said on a radio program here in Ohio.

Father James E. Shappelle, as­ sistant superintendent of Cincin­ nati archdiocesan schools, said that public and private schools 'form "a partnership in American education," and '''together they serve the nation by turning out informed and responsible citi­ zens."

The priest, who gave a series of talks on a Piqua radio station, warned that "this country will be headed for thought control if it becomes impossible for private, nonprofit schools to exist because of excessive taxa­ tion and restrictions."

"The private schools offer hea}thy competition to the state­ controlled public schools," he added. "And private schools benefit by the standards set by the public schools."

"Give us cool heads, stout hearts, strong muscles, an in­ stinct for prudent investigation and wise judgment.

"Make Us the terror of arson­ ists, the friends of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to the frightened, polite to bores strict with lawbreakers, and ob~tinate to temptations.

"In troubles or riots, give us strength to be efficient; in times of great danger, g'ive us the abil­ ity to. be calm and enable us to impart assurance to those who verge on panic.

'Sense of Duty' "You know, beloved St. Flo­ rian, from the sacrifice of your own life for the sake of your faith, that the fireman's lot on earth is not alwa~-s a pleasant one; by your sense of duty that so pleased God, your coura­ geous strength that so over­ w~elmed the devil, and your salOtly self-control give us in­ spiration.

"Make us as fearless in prac­ ticing the laws of God as we are brave in protecting the lives and property of our fellowmen. , "And when we answer our final alarm, enroll us in your heavenly force. where we will be as proud to protect the the throne of God as we have been to protect the city of men.

Amen."

means of spreading the Gospel was voiced here by the Fran­ ciscan Institute of Radio and Television.

The recommendation was made by delegates to the fifth annual meeting of the Francis­ can institute.

The del ega t e s also recom­ mended that future missionaries be trained in the use of radio to carry the message of Christia­ nity to remote areas of the world. They said this training should include tee h n i cal schooling in radio broadcasting as well as the techniques of pro­ gram preparation.

Brother Don aId Sullivan O.F.M,. of St. Francis College: Brooklyn, noted in an address that the typical American semi-.".; nary course four years of' philosophy and four of theology ~ includes some 300 semester hours. .

Cites Two Reasons Of· this total, he said, only 10 hours on an aver.age are de­ voted to "the 'how of communi­ cations." He urged that the time devoted to studying the use of the mass media in seminaries be doubled.

Fat her Anthony Scannell, O.F.M,. told the institute that there are two reasons why the Second Vatican Council included the mass media among the sub­ jects for its deliberations.

He said one reason is nega­ tive - "mass communications can do untold harm and the Church cannot abandon them to evil" but the second and more important is positive­ "the importance of mass com­ munications for the preaching of the. Gosp'els to alI and for spreading the principles of peace, social justice and human dignity."
