LOUIS (NC)-A $600,000 gift by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., to St. Louis University's 150th an­ niversary leadership program, has brought its total contribution to $1,100,000. Harry F. Harring­ ton, program general chairman, described the $600,000 gift as the largest single contribution by a corporation to the university's 10-year development program which ends next year.

Harrington said this figure will be enlarged still more be­ cause, through a :Ford Founda­ tion grant to the university, a gift of $600,000 earns $200,000 in foundation funds. Under -terms of a grant awarded the univer­ sity in 1965, the Ford Founda­ tion gives the university one dol-, lar for every three it receives fro m other non-governmental soul'ces.'

Fatl- ,- Paul C. Reinert, S.J., university president, said the $600,000 will- be applied to the Bt:sch Memorial Center, a stu­ dent center now under construc­ tion.

Thurs., March 16, 1961

OTTAWA (NC) - Repeal of Ca:nada's existing law giv.. ing tax-exempt status to a Religious who has taken a

!I101ding of the controversial IDextbook Loan Law as a "major 'lJictory for justice to non-publIc !!Chool children."

Reuben E. Gross, chairman of ~ Law CommIssIon of Agudath f:srael of America, called the COurt decisIon "a vindication of @rthodox Jewry's position 1'a­ ~ring government aid to non­ l}ublic school chIldren." .

The Textbook Loan Law re­ QjUi.res public school districts to tiuy and lend books to pupils In I]l'ades 7-12 In non-public as well Q3 public schools. The state re­ 11mburses the local districts up 00 fPJl.5 per pupil. .

Form Committee On Human Rights SOUTH DARTMOUTH (NC) -An organization devoted to Jlllcial justice was formed by clergy and laymen from 33 Par- ~ fshes of the Boston archdiocese at a three-day workshop at the Bound Hill Jesuit Conference eenter here.

Sponsored by the Boston Col­ lege Institute of Human ScIences Ibld the Boston Archdiocesan human rights commIssion, the workshop was planned and c0­ ordinated by a consulting staff of 10 leading university sociologIsts lIIld psychologists. Harvard Uni­ wersity, Massachusetts Institute {" Technology and Boston Uni- . ftrsity were represented, in ad­ dition to Boston College.

To be known as the South Shore Vicariate Committee on Human Rights, the new organi­ lIlltion is one of the first pro­ grams being planned in the new territorial jurisdIctions formed in the Boston archdiocese last November, when Richard Cardi­ nal Cushing appointed epIscopal vicars as his representatIves in • geographical areas.

The human rights commission was formed by Cardinal Cushing in January, 1966, as a research and advisory board concerned ~th interracial problems.

Participating in the workshop :were pastors, curates and nuns from parIshes and schools, and 83 laymen, including house­ Wives, teachers, lawyers and businessmen.

The proposed change is dealt with in the section on new tax treatment for charities and char­ itable donations in the commis­ sion's massive report on Cana­ dia" taxation.

No parish council can expect a whirlwind of pro;;ress or success in its first months of operation, but acknowledgement of the Spirit among us demands an open exchange between the pas­ tor and his council.

A spokesman for the Canadian Religious Conference, the na­ tional organization of heads of men's and women's religious communities, indicated, as a pre­ liminary estimate, that removal of the present exemption would affect 20 per cent of the 6,000 priests in religious communities in Canada, and 45 per cent of the 53,000 nuns and 7,000 Brothers.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Mar. 16, 1967

Stonehill Properties NORTH EASTON - Ecumenism ana the winds of change are blowing through the StonehilT College campus.

Last week, the Rt. Rev. John T. Corr, C.S.C., college presi­ dent, announced that "within the next year" Sfonehill ,and' the properties of the Holy are interested in the historic81' Cross Fathers, EasternProv­ , approach to ofher religions." ince, will be "cQmpletely sep­ He feels that in any college arated." The Foundation of "you have to ·preserve intellec­ Our Lady of Holy Cross, Inc., the original Holy Cross corpora­ tio:" in this area, will hold title to all college properties. Holy Cross Fathers, Inc., a relatively new corporatiop, will retain such community properties as Holy (";'oss Seminary and the Holy Cress Retreat House. . In conjunction wHh the "ma­ terial" sepa'ration, ,a new.govern­ inp ·board is expected to ·be named to set college policies and operate the Catholic institution.

Father Corr "expects" that lay persons will be named to such a~boal'd, as is being done :at many other Catholic eolleges in the nation. .The move is in 'line with the status ')f the so-called "emerging 1..-.. ·"~·'··l~'·' a Ulore active role in various facets of ..... , .. w,e since the Vatican Oouncil. .

Minister Faculty In the' ecumenical spirit, Father also announced appoint­ ment of a Congregational minis­ ter to the college faculty. He will teach theology courses.

"Jl~ the past," Father Corr says, "we have closed ourselves into a ghetto, we have Dot tried to un­ dt:rstand <lUI.' Protestant broth­ ers."

Father emphasizes the ap­ pointment does not indicate "any doubts about the truth of our dogma. But we should be an~.

on

tual honesty, ·be willing to look­ at different things." .

Women Have Place Is there 'any ,possibility that a religious-lay board .at Stonehill will include women?, "Why not?" Father Corr .asks.

"Women have a definite -place at Stonehill."

The growing emphasis -on changes in, all-religio,us ·boar-ds at ~atholic colleges is probably due to a variety ·of things, he feels.

Vocations are ,decreasing ,and wit them there is a -decrease in the numbers of prie~tsand reli­ gious who can be ,assigned to teaching and administrative dutIes in Catholic institutions.

Laymen's Role Costs are increasing, ,creating deeper drains on, the never ample treasuries ,of the religious or lers, as more and more young people enroll in colleges.

Laymell are beginnin'g t<lplay a more active role in the church and many feel they shoul<' have a voice in the educationa.lpoli­ cies of institutions they support.

These are some -of ,the reasons for what is turning into the '~new l~ -'r" in Catholic 'educat~n.

Stonehill is 'getting re<ldy for that look.

However, despit-e the -prop<>sed changes, Father Corr is emphatic about one. thing: "Stonehill will remain a CathollceollCb'C."

Cardinal Spellman Says Surrender To Slavery Worrse Than War MIAMI (NC) - There are things worse than war and things wor.~e than death, and surrender to slavery is one of them, said Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York.

The' cardinal, who is military vicar of the U. S. Armcd For'ces, was the principal speaker at the f<lurth anl1lwl' communion break­ fast of the Greater Miami Guild of Police and Firemen here.

"War does not settle issues­ these ant<lgonisins and diffur­ ences which arise between con­ flicting groups of men. They are settled only by negotiations," Cardinal Spellman said at the breakfast.

Threats. Coercion "But in order to have nego­ tiations which arc meaningful there must be good will -on both sides. When one side insists upon imp<>sing its will on the other by conspiracy, by threats and by coercion, then force must be met by force-not because a people chooses war, gut, because they are left without a choice if they wish to survive."

Reminding his audience that in Vietnam the United Stateshas repe'atedly offered to negotiate a just settlement, the cardinal said, "I believe that we should con­ , tinue to do so, by eve.·y reason­ able means and with the utmost urgency, because each day this conflict continues brings further headache and disaster to a world which has already suffered too many agonies.

Pray for Peace "But I do not believe that, we should be willing to accept any sertJement which the enemy pro,.. poscr."' he declared. "I. do not believe that we should simply

withdraw and leave our friends in South Vietnam to the mercy of their foes.

Cardinal Spellman preceded > his remarks by' stating: "It may be tha' one speaks ,on this sub­ ject (Vietnam) with some risk for it seems that unless ane is willin~ to plead for peace at any price, one is quickly set up<>n as ,a 'hawk.'''

"He said "this business" of hawks and -doves is ,a lot of ·'nonsense. Presumably a -hawk is a man who wants war .and a dove is one who wants peace. If that definition is correct," Car­ dinal Spellman declared, "I'd<>n't know of a single resp<>nsible per­ son in this nation who ,is a 'hawk.' -We all want ,peace. We all pray for it -aI'dently. We prayed for it Quring the -dark.and terri bIn days of two W<lrld Wars, and we rejoiced when -at last it came." ,

Council DirectOt' Resents Actions Of Archdiocese

Choristers at St. Joseph's Parish, Fall .River, Will Honor Eugoenie Archamb~ult Sunday

CHICAGO (NC) - The Chicago Catholic Interracial Council has charged that the Chicago archdiocese has shut

In these days, when people change jobs almost as casually as clothes, organists se~m a race apart. There's Miss Lucy Dias, on the job for 50 years at St. John the BaptIst Church New Bedford; there's Henri L. Cournoyer, for some 40 years organist for Sacred Heart Church, Fall River and before that in charge music at St. Joseph's, also Fall River.

And there's Mrs. Eugenie Dufour Archambault, who took over at St. Joseph's from Mr. Cournoyer and has

• out of any effective participa­ tion in diocesan affairs.

But in spite of this, CIC execu­ tive director John McDermott said he would try to settle the "'difficulties" with the arch­ diocese amicably.

The CIC's charge came as sim­ ilar charges - that the council lluld been "disowned" by Arch­ bishop John P. Cody-were pub­ lIished in Christian Century, a national Protestant magazine published in Chicago.

The dispute came to a head hst month, when the Chicago Catholic Interracial Councll ­ for the first time in most of its !O-year history-failed to appear An the annual directory of Chi­ t:ago Catholic organizations.

In explanation, the arch­ diocese's information director, Father James Roache, issued this statement: "The Catholic Interracial ~unci1 is not an officially rec-' ognized archdiocesan agency.

Rather, it is an interdenomina­ tional councll with no official dlaplain of the archdiocese since the resignation of Msgr. (Daniel M.) Cantwell.

"There is no apparent reason for listing it in an official direc­ tory, inasmuch as other similar agencies are not listed."

Msgr. Cantwell, one of the founders of the CIC and chaplain lince its foundation, was made a pastor last Winter. Last May he CleQsed his full-time work as dlsplain because of the press of parish business.

McDermott called the arch­ diocese's statement "incredible.

We have bee.. a recognized Catholic agency in Chicago for -.ore than 20 years. We are an authentic Catholic organization and no substantial change has been made in our-structure.

"Our policy is made by an all­ Catholic board of directors. Our membership is interdenomina­ tional, but we have been proud of that because we feel it reflects the open spirit of the Church and ita willingness to work with Protestants and Jews on issues .t oommon concern."

been there ever since.

Her years of service will be recognized this Sunday at a tes­ timonial dinner at The Coach­ men Restaurant, Tiverton, when St. Joseph's choir members past and present will gather in her honor.

"I never expected a testi­ monial," said the charming Mrs. Archambault. "After all, I'm not retiring." But choir members, led by Henry Travis, felt that 40 years of dev.otions were well worth a tribute.

Mrs. Archambault certainly isn't retiring, however. She con­ ducts a ·flourishing organ and piano studio where she teaches more than 40 pupils weekly; she's directress of the Clover Club Choil', which blossoms yeariy around S1;, Patrick's Day and this year will sing in six parishes for Sunday Masses; and she's accompanist for the Caeci­ lians, a women's choral group which makes many area appear­ ances.

Church First With all her activities, how­ ever "the Church comes first," says Mrs. Archambault. If a wed­ ding or funeral conflicts with a scheduled lesson, the lesson is canceled. The organist's sched­ ul..:l at St. Joseph's calls for play­ ing at three Masses on Sunday, atte',dance at novenas and other services du!"ing the week, and direction of the two adult choirs Iri the parish.

"At Christmas and Easter there are special rehearsals with the junior choir," she explained, "but for the most part the chil­ dren are trained by the Sisters."

Although she's at St. Joseph's almost as much as the priests of the pal'ish, Mrs. Archambault isn't a pal"ishioner. Actually she belongs to the neighboring French pal'ish, St. Mathieu, but seldom gets there, "except now and then, when I substitute for their organist."

Like New Bedford's Lucy Dias, Mrs. Archambault admits that she and her choristers are nos-:" talgic for the days of part singing and Latin Masses in the Church.

"The new music is so easy, we hardly need rehearsals," she said wistfullY'. "But we can!t stay with the old ways," she added briskly.

Several of the eight membe-rs of .;t. Joseph's women's choir have been making music at the North End church as long as Mrs. Archambault. "Some started in the children's choir, graduated to­ the mixed choir we used to have, and are now in the women's group,'" said. Mrs. Archambault.

The men's choir, numbering 15, is a more recent introduction, dating back only a few years.

It sings. weekly for the 9:30 Mass, while the women sing at the 11 o'clock service and the children are heard at 8:15.

Urges Priests Speed Reforms In Liturgy KANSAS CITY (NC) ,...

The bishop of the Kansas City-St. Joseph diocese has urged priests to speed up implemel)tation of liturgical re­ forms in their parishes.

In a letter to priests of the diocese Bishop Charles H. Helm­ sing said lay persons have told him their priests are not imple­ menting the liturgical changes approved by the Second Vatican Council.

Noting that the reforms have been Church law since March 7, 1965, Bishop Helmsing said the failu.re of a few priests to com­ ply with them was making "a gradual and progressive (litur­ gical) reform" milch more diffi­ cult.

Bewilder Laity "Major differences in this re­ gard between adjacent or nearby parishes are frequently a source of shock and bewilderment to the laity," he said.

"We do an injustice to our people by depriving them of meaningful worship or by giv­ ing them a false sense of security in forms of the past while their neighbors progress step by step in the spirit of the council."

He referred specifically to use of laymen as commentators, con­ gregational singing of three or four hymns at each well-attended Sunday Mass, and full observ­ ance of the rubrics that went into effect Jan. 27, 1965.

"I am confident," he concluded, "that all our parish priests will see the va: .e of a uniform and progressive liturgical refOl'm" and will be 'illing to "educate their people ;n full liturgical participation."

, "A group of pickets marched outside St. ,Pattick's Ca-' tiledral in New York protesting the defeat of a liberalized abortion bill and' asking if ecumenism 'were ,a, one' way 'street. A significant number of Catholics in a poll f~.vored the use of, "the pill" as a birth control measure. The fIgures on divorce are introduced showing this action as :favored by an amazingly large number of people. .

And the conclusion from all this? That abortIOn and birth control by drugs and divorce should be. accepted by the Catholic Church as a gesture of ecumemsm or' as an adoption of the majority view.

This type of argument is used in all sincerity by some.

They fail to understand' that the Catholic Church views morality not as a matter of majority rule nor as a gesture of ecumenical reciprocity but as the will of God for human beings.

Once the connection is established between God and man then man is held to a certain type of action and this is m'orality. There are unchanging and unchangeable pre­ eepts that no amount of votes or argument can change. ' This is a hard saying for some. But God never guar­ anteed that life would not be hard. He guaranteed heaven , to those who did His will on earth.

WASHINGTON (NC)-A Jesuit educator who favors government support for family planning programs has criticized "the growing tendency to liberalize abortion laws."

Proposed new abortion lawn in several states can not be justi­ fied, Father Dexter L. Hanley, S.J., of Georgetown University, told a Dunbarton College Gf Holy Cross alumnae group here.

"It is not the function of law to enforce norms of private morality," he added.

An expert on the relationship between law and morality, Father Hanley is a professor of law and director of the Institute of Law, Human Rights and! Sa­ cial Vaiues at the university's law center.

"Support for abortion is difO­ CLlt to reconcile," Father Han­ ley said. He noted "a growiag recognition in law of a child's rIght to recover damages in­ flicted upon him before birth."

He said that development con­ flicts with support for abortion and liberalization of laws gov­ erning abortion.

Ferlility Control "No society can or should ask its 'citizens, to support or 81}­ prove a law which denies the fundameintal rights of another to either life or dignity," h2 said.

Under majority government, the citizen has a "civil right and duty to protest when the life Gf another is at stake," Father Han­ ley declared.

He said that right is not de­ pendent upon the citizen's reli­ gious views and convictions.

If there was any good that came out of the abnormally llileavy precipitation of February and the first week of March it was the announcement that the drought is officially over.

There ig every indication that the water bans which have been in effect in most com­ work hours (my grandmother munities for the past two OJ!' was forced to leave school and three years will now be lifted work in the cotton mills from sunup to sunset at the age of 12 ~nd gardeners can return to their normal usage of water.

In surveying my own garden Jror damage resulting from the (\\1rought I have found that I will really have to concentrate on my llawn if I ever expect it to retul"Ill t:l anythinB I would consider acceptable.

This is true for a number of reasons. For one thing, during n drought, grass roots tend to oome as close to the surface as pm :ble in order to get the maxi­ mum amount of moisture. This leads to shallow-rooted lawns much more likely to be affected Iby fungus and scorching. In ad­ clition, weeds have infiltrated most lawns,' and unless they are Illradicated they will continue to opread.

As long as the drought was with us there was not much we eould do for our lawns, but now we can at least start them on the road to better growth. I have already begun spreading ferti­ lize! (' 'my lawn and in a week or so I intend to use a pre­ emergemt weed killer. This type ~f weed-killer is intended to kill weed seeds as soon as they ger­ minate. . , Following the Weed-killer, J[ will give the lawn monthly dOSes .t. fertilizer until the velT bot weather arrives. I' prefer small doses; 0: fertilizer at regular ~n­ tervals rather than one large fer­ tilizing, because I feel that the lawn gets the full value C1f the chemicals ill tile lertiHzer, al­ though I have DO WBty of proving that this method is preferable to the single dose method.

To offset the large proportiOQ of nitrogen found in the com­ llDercial fertilizers I wili a~ give the lawn one good sonking with muriate of potash. Potash is nec­ essary for root growth and a five jpOund bag dissolved in n barrel of water goes n long way. This ean be applied some time in the Spring.

Lastly, there is the matter of cutting. A good lawn has to be lllut at regular intervals. I like to ~. - to cut mine every five days fin the Spring and early Summer and then once a week as the weather gets warmer and growth ila not so rapid. I say, I like to ~y, but between good intentions and actual performance there

may be about an inch of OVCE'­ crrown grass.

I often tease my very Irish mother about. the fact that most sons of Erin are meat and potato eaters; and that other than the traditional corned beef and cab­ bage, they really didn't bring many recipes across the waves with them. My opinion on Gaelic cooking had to be revised a bit last. year when Monica Sheridan published a cookbook of dishes that would tempt a leprechaun off his crock of gold. The Art of Irish Cooking tells lovingly of the beautiful countryside that our ancestors left and of many of the dishes that were cooked in that big pot over a turf fire.

Even treatment of the ever­ present potato met with my ap­ pl"::lvallls she presented her read­ ers with a recipe for Colcannon, a delicious combination of cab­ bage and mashed potatoes, just .smothered in butter, and Potato Flounces which she describes as I~~l'ing.. like the bottom of IA petticpat. . . Desserts are not neglected in. this little. cookbook and, anyone who has been fortunate enough to haw:! sampled trifle will' find a delightful recipe for one here.

"Naturally there's just a smidgeu. of good Irish whiskey used to make it palatable to the loyal sons of the old sad.

This recipe is from &1 ·grand old Irish lady of the old school-Mrs. John Walsh, better known as "Grandma" to. every­ one who has ever met her. .Grandma Walsh, a charter mem­ ber of St. Louis' parish in Fall River, has baked many, many loaves of this delicious bread for church suppers and cake sales. iGIKANDMA'S IRISH BRlEAJIJ>

While pickets opposed to the measure paraded outside the state capitol, the governor met with the Democratic majority of the Assembly's Education Com­ mittee prior to a special com­ mittee session at which the deci­ sion to release the bill was made.

The governor and the com­ mittee had been under heavy presssure to hold public hear­ ings on the bill, which would re­ quire public school districts to provide the same bus service to private school pupils that they now provide for public school students.

The state would pay for 75 per cent of the cost where studenW !tV(l specified distances from r-:'lool. .

Present law requires public SChl 1 districts to transport non­ public students only along routes established for public schools. A recent court decision held that local districts could not provide more extensive service on their own initiative.

Members of the American Civil Liberties Union marched in the rain outside the capital car­ rying a variety of signs oppos­ ing the measure. They also dis­ tributed literature urging defeat of the bill because it "breache!! the wall of separation betweel!J .church and state."

Father Peyton Unable to Fulfill All Rosary Crusade Requests

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Mar. 16, 1967

American Work'ers Aid Latin

Labor to Organize Unions

MILWAUKEE (NC) -Father Patrick Peyton, C,S.C., director of the Family Rosary Crusade, says that requests 'from bishops to' hoI,' the crusade in their dioceses are so numerous that he will never be able to fulfill them.

"It is a J!)isleading and false impression that Vatican Council II meant for the rosary to be de­ emphasized; it is not reflecting the council or the masses, ·but only a tiny minority," he stated.

From "Social RevolutioD in tbe New Latin America"

Edited by loho J. Considine, M.M.

Interviewed during a brief visit to the city where he began the Rosary Crusade 25 years ago, Father Peyton explained that the 'small minority who would like to get rid of the rosary are those who cannot say the prayers with meaning, "Anyone who takes the rosary is challenged to say the words

an~ mean them. He starts out b)­ saying 'I believe in God,' aDd. moves step by step along the words 'Thy will be done,' 'forgive us our trespasses,' etc.

"It probes into the sincerity and depths of a person. It's a dangerous thing; it doesn't allow you to be a hypocrite," he said.

The idea of the Family Rosary Crusade first took shape in Father Peyton's mind while on retr at in Washington ill' Janu­ ary, 1942, a few months after his ordination as a Holy Cross priest.

His superior granted him per­ mission to carry out the idea. ' T: e crusade has continued in the United States, although in recent years Father Peyton has been spending, most of his time in Latin America where 200 bishops have requested him to come for rallies.

It is a constant norm of Chris­ man morality, Msgr. Fausto Val­ llainc said, that citizens have a duty to cooperate with the state for the common good in all things that are "just, and up­ ll'ight."

Spiritual lE1ights But recently there has been a "more marked precision" in what this cooperation consists of "due i:a profounder understanding of our teaching as a result of docu­ ments like "Pacem in Terris" (Pope John XXIII) and those of the council.

"Furthermore, there has been' an evolution in the international political situation," he said, :which caIls for different ap­ proaches to dialogue.

While the Church insists on citizenship, it- also insists on its own liberty from governmental Glontrol and on "the spiritual and moral rights of its people."

Msgr. VaIlainc made it clear ~at these comment, come from efficial sources but he did not identify them.

Fundamental Values "Collaboration even with those whose ideology is different from ours," can be pursued on the basis of certain fundamental human values, whIch can be used as the basis for dialogue."

Such values, according to Msgr.

VaIlainc, include social progress, development and pe~ce.

The Church's teaching on the duties of citizens to cooperate for the common good, he said, "Deeded this further precision."

That is, it needed 'to be said that such cooperation extended to all Ulose things which in the state are ,"just and upright."

A law which would forbid the public expression of faith or the Christian education of children would not be just, he said, and therefore, "would not bind in $Onscience."

The explanations were given during the announcement of an accord, between the Holy, See and Yu::-oslavia.

College P'resBdent Mediates Disputes JERSEY CITY (NC)-Father Victor R. Yanitelli, S.J., presi­ dent of St. Peter's CoIlege here, is gaiaing a reputation as "teach­ ers' pet." , He successfuIly mediated a dispute the Jersey City Board of Education and the Jersey City Education Association.

"Normally," he says' three Masses every Sunday. Weekdays, he says Mass, hears confessions and makes himself "just avail­ able" to young American soldiers scattered at smaIl outposts in the CentrClI Highlands of Vietnam.

Volunteer Chaplain That is the Rev. Rene A. Belanger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emile C. Belanger of 860 Brock Avenue,-New Bedford, a member of the Blessed Sacrament order, who was ordained to the priest­ hood by Francis Cardinal, Spell­ man in New: York March 25, 1950.

Five feet six and a "more or less" trim 160 pounds before he came home to Mom's cooking and a succession of ice cream frappes, Father Belanger left L me this week fo'r Maguire Air Force Base in New Jersey and the 20-hour flight from there back to Vietnam and "his boys."

He had been home for three weeks leave after a year's tour of duty in Vietnam, where he went after 18 months in Korea. .He now is on his way back to an­ other 12-month tour of extended duty, for which he volunteered.

Vietnamese CatholiC!> A graduate of st. Anne School, the parish to which his parents stiIl belong, Father Belanger is assigned to care for the spiritual well being of American advisers in Military Assistance Command "".-. His headquarters is at Ban Me Thuot, some 180 miles north of Saigon and 200 south of the huge military base at Da Nang and "about an' hour's flying time" from the central coast of South Vietnam. His "parish," however, encompasses. several' hundred square miles.

Father says a majority of the Vietnamese in the Central High­ lands are Catholics "who are served by their 'own native clergy." In Ban He Thuot itself, for instance, there is a huge Catholic church, an 1;800 pupil girls' school run by Vietnamese nuns and a 1,200 pupil boys school operated by the Christian Brothers.

"The Vietnamese priest, like many of the people there, is a refugee from the north. Those people know what Communism is and they don't want any part of it."

Veteran coach Jack McCarthy, who will be s t a I' ti n g bis tenth season as the Cardinals' , entor, has an experienced in­ field returning for the ap­ proaching cam­ paign but must find replacement for all three outfield posts. The defending champs who posted a 13-5 league record to tie Old Roctester, now in the Capeway Conference, for the league crown have seven let­ termen reporting for practice and Gin capable boys ready to move into the starting lineup.

Pete Landock and Larry Abbruzzi are expected to sharra the major portion of the pitching duties while receiving occasional assistance from Tom Austin and Art Donais. McCarthy is defi­ nitely fortunate to have four top-flight hurlers but he is more fortunate to have two outstand­ ing receivers on the same club..

Wayne Chase and Paul Thibeault divided the catching duties last, s..:ason and are I2xpected' to de likewisra this year.

Veteran Talent The Cardinals' seasoned infield ir.~ludes Tom Sullivan, Charles .Ulmschneider, Jeff Kirkman and Abbruzzi. Vying for the outfield slots will be Tom Blakey, Tony Ferreira, Norm Messier and Brian Leonardo.

While no other team in t~ circuit' can boast as formidable a returning corps as the Swan­ sea unit, each has some veteran talent .coming back to bolster it,,; championship aspiratiollB. Somerset, for example, bas seven lettermen back 'including the club's leading hitters.

Pitching and defense are the keys to winning baseball and these tire two of the strongest phases of ~he game. for Coach Jim Sullivan's hopefuls. The Blue Raiders have Ron Shagnon, jch Chung, Kerry Dean, and Paul Borden ready to assume the chucking duties in Somerset's bid to upend the defending title holder.

Shortstop Bill Agella ond sec­ ond-baseman Bob Mitchell an­ chor the Raider infield along with providing a solid one-two punch at the plate. Morgan :Biastoff, who possesses one of the flnest throwing arms in the league, will again handle the catching task. These three boys along with the aforementioned pitchers, some of whom will '::'ouble as outfielders, have the unen"iable task of trying to stop the Case Cardinals three times in one season.

Schedule Third Meeting The rival town teams will meet iwi during the regular season and again on Memorial Day in a non-league contest. The ,third meeting was initiated last season in an effort to bring about a re­ birth of interest in baseball by playing the game on a day when most parents and towns­ people could go to the game.
