Stresses Church Duty to Protect Laity's Rights WORCESTER (NC) Given topical interest by press reports, the problem of due process of law for priests has been given "a priority it should not have," Father Henry G. Bowen, assistant chancellor of the VVorcester diocese said.

"More fundamentally, the Church has to provide adequate machinery whereby the laity can vindicate their rights," he declared.

"Now that lay people are getting more involved in the work of the Church, there are more areas in which their rights can be violated," Father Bowen added. "There is a need for study and research to find out what has to be done to protect , these rights."

Father Bowen, a canon law expei't, is a member of the committee on due process of the Turn to Page Six

rally next Sunday, March 23, declared: "I would call upon· all teenagers to stand up and be counted if they feel like I do. We will act as teenagers who love their ,parents and brothers and sisters, 'and who take out the garbage at home instead of creating some.

Dr. Hayakawa believes the group of people stirring the status quo "is a very small minority. They perform a useful function in many areas. Somehow they've identified themselves so completely as the underdog that they are peculiarly hostile to the establishment."

TENTH ANNIVERSARY

Bishop JamesJ. Gerrard, V. G., Pastoll" of St. Lawrence's Church, New Bedford, Marks Decade as Auxiliary in Fall River Diocese.

In a serene observation of 10 years a Bishop, Most Rev. James J. Gerrard-in a manner fitting his nature-observed his anniversary day, March 19, performing his usual tasks as pastor of St. Lawrence's parish, New Bedford.

A decade ago, St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, was the scene of the consecration of Monsignor y.errard as Auxiliary Bishop in the Diocese of Fall River.

Durin'g the past 10 years, Bishop Gerrard has assisted Bishop Connolly throughout the Diocese, carrying out the multiple duties that devolve upon the Ordinary of the Diocese.

The Auxiliary has also enabled Bishop Connolly to continue the happy custom of the Diocese that the Bishop personally assists in the life of parishes and organizations rather than send a representative.

Some duties that Bishop Ger.rard performs are those that specifically require the powers of a Bishop, such as ordinations and confirmations.

BISHOP GERRARD

As a Bishop, he has assisted Bishop Connolly in the heavy Confirmation schedule that sees more than 5;000 receive the Sacrament of the mature Christian every year.

It has been the custom in the .Fall River Diocese to have a Bishop personally assist at as many parish and group celebrations as possible. This custom has been continued because Bishop Gerrard is always available whenever a special commitment takes the Ordinary to various meetings in the nation and his presence at the Vatican Council.

Bishop Gerrard is the second Rector of St. L'awrence Church, New Bedford, to become a Bishop.

Most Rev. Lawrence S. McMahon, who built St. Lawrence Church served as Rector of the New Bedford Church for 11 years. He was named fifth Bishop of Hartford and left St. L~w­ renee's to be consecrated on August 10, 1879.

Msgr. McGrath then talked with the students and convinced them to put their complaints in writing to university officials.

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The Newman Center at San Francisco State College-scene of violent conflict between students, administra,tors and faculty since 1968~has' issued ,a statemen't urging "~pen and conscientious negotiation," the right of due process for student and faculty and local authority for the college.

San Fraricisco Sta,te is now governed by a board of trustees appointed by California's state colleges. One of the demands of the protestors has been local autonomy for the college or at least appointment of a local board of trustees.

The Newman statement sought to clarify the essential Christian principles at stake in the controversyand to communicate these conclusions to the campus community. ' It urged support of those demands of the protestors Which are "founded on genuine academic needs" and said that "it cannot be denied that the needs of minority students have been i·gnored far too long."

Ask Immediate Action On the matter of local autonomy, the Newman statement said: "Becl!use of the unique urban situation of San Francisco State, the needs of the college must be regarded as separate from those of other state campuses.

"The jurisdiction for determining policy, discipline and curriculum must, therefore, be left to the prerogative of the local authority" i.e., local autonomy is essential for the creative development of, the programs' at 'State."

On the 'matter' of campus violence, the Newman statement impassioned activities of the militants can be seen as a reaction of those who have been tried beyond patience," but added: "We believe as Chris-

Uoans, however, that we cannot condone violence. There is a constructive alternative to violence, and it is the responsibility of the administration, the faculty and the students to utilize every means to create that alternative."

The Newman statement also said: "We believe that amnesty be considered a genuine possibility by those holding power to grant it. The administration should take immediate action in this matter to give evidence of its good will."

Negro Serves in New Diocesan Post

Thurs., Mar. 211, 1969

Peach Workers Warn Growers

BROOKLYN (NC)-Bishop Francis J. Mugavero has asked a Negro layman to "tell it, like it is" to clergy :;lnd Religious in the Brooklyn Diocese.

The Bishop ,appointed Grayson W. Brown, a black community worker, to a special post, which will involve giving talks to priests and ,Religious from pre(fominantly white areas. His job is to ,provide them with an opportunity to learn something of ghetto life and 'to solicit their own feelings about it.

Brown was named after discussing ,the program need with Bishop Mugavero.

"I knew the Bishop was looking for new ideas," he said, "and I was sure that the idea of communicating the ghetto eX'perience to 'Religious who knew little or nothing about it was a valid one. The project takes on even more importance because many of the people I hope to speak to are teachers."

STOCKTON (NC) Jerry Cohen, attorney for the United Farm Workers' Organizing Committee, led by Caesar Chavez, has notified California peach growers that peach workers will be next in line for action by farm labor organization.

Cohen addressed the 15th annual meeting of the California Freestone Peach Association here in the absence of Chavez, who was reported unable to stand on his feet for more than two hours. His illness, Cohen said, was the result of a 25-day fast in mid-1968.

Asked why the union he represents was using the boycott to get its point across, Cohen told the peach growers that the UFWOC had been trying for the past three years to sit down with the . grape growers. He said "we're not going to stop until we get a chance to talk - a chance to put a price on the sweat of the grape-pickers."

Cohen said the farm wor,~ers' boycott of grapes has been the only means the pickers have to drive home their point.

Wide Experience Brown will ,have an office at the St. John ,the Baptist CommunHy Center in Bedford-Stuyvesant area where he will continue his work as a youth counselor. He said the program which will be relatively informal, will allow listeners to '~ask questions, exchange information, ,recognize their fears and misconceptions by getting them out in the open, and then ~opefully doing something about them."

Brown has served in a wide variety of posts with such organizations as Christians and Jews United for Social Action; th'e Fort Greene Community Progress Center and a "Summer in the City" projec,t.

Participants Praise Women's Institute COLLEGE PARK (NC) - "A peak life e-xperience," "a very effective instrument," a "marvelous idea on aiding women to think, motivate and create for themselves"-these were some of the comments made by participants in the first of 11 regional institutes sponsored by the National Council of Catholic Women.

The institute, held at the University of Maryland here, was an "experience-centered learning process" designed to improve the participants' human relations skills.

The 11 institutes-all of which' follow the same format under the theme "Fashion Me a Person" - were designed by the NCCW staff and the Conferences and Institutes Division of the Maryland Center for Adult Education. NCCW staff members who had attended special training sessions prior to the insti~ tute served as trainers for the three-day meeting.

Diocese to Observe Year-Long Renewal WORCESTER (NC) - Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan said "A year of lturgical renewal" will be observed in the Worcester diocese in 1970. Father Gregory Smith, O.Carm., liturgical authority, will direct the ,program.

The bishop said the complete program still is in the planning stages but, at Father Smith's request, a series of liturgical re:treats for priests will open its observance.

School Closings-And the Beat Goes On Scime Reason -I nsuffici'ent Funds WASHINGTON (NC) - Announcements of some 50 Catholic school closings, consolidations and grade cutbacks across the nation were made in the first two weeks of' March alone.

More than 40 of these were outright closings of entire schools.

The reason was virtually' the same in al'l cases as that given for the hundreds of other Ca'tholic schools which have closed or cut 'back in 'recent months.

There are insufficient funds to hire lay replacements for the dwindling supply {)f teaching nuns.

Officials of the Detroit archdiocese announced the closings of two elementary schools and grade _ reductions in three others affecting a total of 638 children, most. of whom wHI transfer to public schools.

The actions were -taken after, parishes made self-studies to determine the feasibility of maintaining the schools under present financial pressure and lack of teaching personnel.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton estimated another 25 scho,ols will close in the Detroit, archdiocese within the next year.

A recent report from the路 office of the Detroit archdiocesan superintendent of schools said 49 schools in the archdioceseincluding more than 20 in the inner city - may have to -close completely or drastically curtail enrollment in the near future.

UnveilMonument 1"c Brotherh~od Despite 'rlLli'est

5

FRESNO (NC)-A monument to brotherhood was unveiled in Fresno County Courthouse Park here despite a controversy over its erection on public land.

The monument, a sculpture by Clement Renzi, depicts the late Episcopal Dean James M. Malloch of St. James' cathedral, the late Msgr. James G. Dowling of St. Therese's church and Rabbi David Greenberg of Temple Beth Israel, all of Fresno.

The three California clergymen were members of a radio program panel heard in the San Joaquin V'alley from 1937 to 1954. The program was terminated when Dean Malloch became ill. Entitled "Forum of Better Understanding," the program was the means for the clergymen to expand the program's theme into a multiplicity of civic activities.

It was the placing of the monument in the downtown Fresno park that resulted in a protest by the Fresno Chapter of Protestants and Other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.

After the county supervisors voted to accept the monument, POAU filed suit in Superior Court, challenging its being placed on public land.

Serve as inspiration A plaque at the base of the monument portrays the profiles of the 'three clergymen. Rabbi Greenberg, the only surviving member of the radio team, called the unveiling "a great day in my life." He said he appreciates the "recognition of the efforts of three men who, in their humble way, tried to promote the spirit of better understanding in our community.

"The work of art," h~ continued, "is a dedication to the goals for which we must all strive as much as it is a dedication to three men whose faith moved them to discuss each week for 17 years matters of social concern.

"It is in the essence of the nature of the human being to want to achieve a sense of immortality and we achieve immortality through our deeds and by being remembered. I pray this memorial will serve as an inspiration and remind us that we can have unity in spite of ous many diversities," he said.

The idea of the sculpture was conceived by Fresnans Herman Cenci and John J. Sullivan, who with several other local citizens largely underwrote the cost of the project which now becomes the property of Fresno County.

Its surrounding garden will be cared for by the county's landscape department.

Plan to FO'rm Seton Hall Univ~rsity Governing Body Students, Faculty Seek Voice in Decisions SOUTH ORANGE (NC)-An ad hoc committee has been organized at Seton Hall University here by student, faculty and administration representatives to look into the possibility of forming a governing body which would have decision-making powers in university affairs.

After passage of the resolution creating the body, Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty of Newark, university president, indicated he would issue an executive order giving the committee official status.

The decision to form the committee was made ,by representatives of the student senate, the faculty senate and the university council.

They met jointly following a talk 'by Clark Kerr, former president of the University of California at Berkeley, in which Kerr said college students and faculty should have a voice in establishing and enforcing their own rules.

Enforce Own Rules Kerr, who was forced to retire at Berkeley in 1967 because of campus disorders, spoke on Charter Day and received an honorary degree of doctor of humane letters from Bishop Dougherty. Charter Day marks the anniversary of a granting of a charter to Seton Hall in 1861.

In his talk, Kerr said that if the college campus "is not to be torn apart internally or by external forces, it will need to become a more viable political

system, making and enforcing its own rules."

He said the campus faces a great challenge ·because of "the new struggle between the insiders and the outsiders" now taking place. "This means faculty and students must themselves reject the use of force and disruption and insist on the arts of peaceful persuasion. For them to do so effectively, they must play a major role in setting the rules and in enforcing them."

Some 30 years ago, Kerr said,

He said the A,merican university will have to learn to live with dissent, agitation and ideological conflict for some time to come because of the new struggle now taking place.

Some, he said, feel that because of the struggle the university faces "catastrophe," but he said he disagrees and believes that the university faces challenges "that will call for un us.. ually great responses, and that these responses will be forthcoming." ,

the divisions in American society were between the right and the left, but now they "run along quite different lines. They are between .the 'insiders' and the 'out.siders.'''

Business and labor, he indicated, are now the "insiders."

The "outsiders" are minorities and the poor.

In the past, he said, workers had been considered a potential revolutionary force but workers have turhed conservative and instead "the students are rising."

TV Violence Continued from Page One ning a study of the' effects of television violence on young viewers, warned that "a steady diet of television violence" may make children so accustomed to violence that they may' become indifferent ,to "violence in real life situations."

Stewart also noted that by age 16, the average American child has spent more hours. in front of a television set than in a classroom.

Presidents of the National Broadcasting Com p a, ny, the American Broadcasting Company and the Columbia Broadcasting System all cited decreases in the number of "actionadventure" programs they planned for next year.

Charles Reilly, Jr., executive director of the National Office for Radio and Television, an organization which 'has opposed television violence and urged viewers to work for more positive programs, had stated earlier: "The only way listeners and viewers will ever get what they want in radio and television shows is to ask for it. The only way they can really ask for it is to make their opinions known emphatically to the people who count-the sponsors, producers, networks and individual stations that carry the programs."

laity Rights Continued from Page One Diocesan Priests' Senate, which is studying the problem of how to provide proper safeguards for the rights of priests.

He said due' process, is only one area which has to be considered in the current work of revising the Church's code of canon law.

Less Haste

"The whole ministry of the clergy - including the ,present parish setup with a pastor and assistants - has to be studied," he said. He added that there is a "great need for revision" in the law governing ,t'he adjudi. cation' of marriage cases.

The question of ,penalties also has to be explored by those -charged with revision of the code, he continued. "Penalties can;t be thrown out completely," he commented.

F'ather Bowen' said it is generally recognized that the present code, criticized as "archaic" and not "matching the times," needs to ,be updated. But, he said, he agrees with American canonists who feel that there should be ",broader consultation" and "less haste" in the work of revision.

Violence Threat Continued from Page One white admissions counselors, more black personnel in the admissions office, and automatic admission to the college by any black high school graduate. , The seizure in Newark also triggered similar action in New Brunswick, where the main campus of ,Rutgers is located, and at another branch campus in Camden.

Violence threatened to break out several times on the Newark campus; especially when the white students, later identified as' students from nearby Essex County Community College, charged Conklin Hall with the telephone pole.

Police around the campus area watched the incident when Msgr. McGrath stopped the white students. They did not intervene.

Msgr. McGrath is administrator of St. John's Church here.

Survey Reveals Canadan Priests' Views on Ideal Parishioner TORONTO (NC) So m e Christians are "parasi~es on the Blood of Christ."

There are too any "Sunday Catholics."

"We should be able to spot Christians in a crowd."

Some Catholics don't help their parishes much, and when the do show up, they begin to pontificate.

The ideal layman is "one who lives a life of love and faith."

These are some of the· comments made by priests in a series of Canadian Register interviews on the topic: What do clergy expect from the laity?

They also were asked: How would you describe the ideal layman? How can the laity help parishes more, in the spirit of Vatican II? Is the parish structure going out of date?

As the interviews with the priests progressed, it became clear the survey had touched upon one of the main nerVe centers in the Church today, namely, the participation of the laity in the Church's life.

The laity's role in the Church "is the most pressing problem today," said Father Charles Kamber of Toronto. The Vatican.

Council spoke about the laity, but in general terms only, leaving many unsatisfied. The laity often don't know how to fit better into the structure of the Church, and many don't know the problems that beset their priests, he declared.

'New Theology' The problem is all the more acute with the decrease in numbers of -priestly vocations and drop-outs, so the future Church

Plan Ecum·enical Dialogue June 15 PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Religious leaders from around the nation and the world, including representatives from the Vatican,. the Anglican Church, the Orthodox Church and other major Christian churches, will meet here for a five-day ecumenical dialogue at lhe Sixth National Workshop for Christian Unity, ·beginning June 15.

The meeting is under the auspices of the Cardinal's Commission on Human Relations of the Philadelphia archdiocese.

Auxiliary Bishop John J. Graham, commission chairman, said the opening session will 'be held at Convention. Hall.

Msgr. Philip J. Dowling, commission executive secretary, said the theme will be "Christ-5ign and Prophet of Unity to a Broken World," based on the conviction t hat ecumenism should not be an end in itself, but an instrument under God for the advance of unity of all mankind.

The theme will be the subject of the opening address by Bishop Jan Willebrands, secretary of the Vatican Secretariat for promoting Christian Unity.

will have to depend more than ever on the laity's active help. . Father Kamber suggested "a new theology on the layman. It is necessary to review all the history of the Church, to study how the laity participated or not, where mistakes were made, and then to examine this dogmatically, liturgically, etc,," he said.

A Scarboro priest said the laity, generally, have been wonderful "·but they haven't been given half the chance. Everything depends on the pastor, and most pastors aren"t expecting too much from the laity. The' vast majority (of -pastors) don't want to involve the laity more; in these parishes, the layman isn't supposed to make waves."

He did not ,blame the older priests for being the way they are; they have given their lives for the Church, and are not ready for g,eat changes.

But he said he is concerned about the' leakage in the Church. ' "Our young people are going away by the carloads. Why? Old fashioned preaching, holding back on the liturgy 0:0 " ,~" Contact 'I'hi"ough Baptism It's a different picture in St. Louis parish in Don Mllls, where Father Benoit T. Jobin has a French-speaking parish. "I am delighted with the spirit of renewal here. We are very avantgarde. There are no real prob. lems except money," he said.

"We have a very lively parish council, with all kinds of subcommittees. Everybody is involved, even the young people.

The parish council more or less supervises the parish organizations, although they are all free.

Each runs its own affairs."

Msgr. C. G. Adams of Sault Ste. Marie said 'being a Catholic lay person worthy of the name calls for commitment.

"We contact a bond at' Baptism and must assume a role in the community of faith. If we shirk this, then we become a sort of 'draft-dodger' for want of a better term. Our contract through Baptism, touches every phase Qf Christian life, whether it be the needy and financial aspects of Christiall'ty or the more intangible works of the Spirit."

The subcommittee chairman, Sen. Philip A. Hart of Michigan, was critical of the practice of rating prospects, for auto insurance purposes, on the basis of occupation.

The Great American guidebook recommends that the "past accident frequency" of clergymen be checked. It describes clergy as being "as a group not very skilled drivers," says they

must "drive at odd hours," and' attributes to them "lack of attention while mentally composing sermons, etc."

Concerning the police, the guidebook says that "generally this occupation doesn't attract th h' h t t f . d' id 1 e Ig es ype 0 111 IV ua because of low pay, bad hours, d t "It 11 l' .. anger, e c. ca s po lce a tough class to underwrite well."

Sen.. Hart said clergy and police are generally regarded as "two pillars of the community."

He said the gUid~book's comment on the police sounded as if they originated with "black power critics of the police department."

!ncreases Salary Of .Lay ITeachers

iocese of Fall River-Thurs: Mar. 2-0, U69

Choose ed, White, Blue For Sprin Wardrobes •

CAMDEN (NC)-Father Joseph A. VonHartleben, Camden diocesan education secretary, has announced a new salary scale which will give lay teachers in the 10 high schools of the diocese a starting salary increase of $600, and bring the present pay scale to almost 95 per cent of the average public high school salary.

Other provisions of the new schedule include a $300 annual increment over a 12-year period, incentives for continuing education, and a -broadening of the present health insurance plan.

Father VonHar-tleben said the lay salary increases, as well as expected increases for Religious teachers, will place a financial burden on the diocesan school system contributing to a need to increase the present $175 tuition in the hi,gh schools. A salary increase for grade school teachers is also under study.

Elsewhere, Bishop John A. Donovan of Toledo, Ohio, approved a recommendation of the diocesan school board that Catholic elementary and secondary schools pay their lay teachers at least 85 per cent of public school salaries.

The pay scale in the Toledo public school district ranges from $4,845 to $8,670. :--

'Supper of Lamb' Literate, Delightful, Cookbook

Howthorne Home Sets Fo~ k Mass

By Joseph and Ma1'ilyn Rode1'ick

It is still too early to estimate the damage done to the garden by the huge snowfalls we have expe-rienced of late, but there is no question that damage was done. The sheer weight of so much snow has to have an effect on plants, especially those which grow close to the ground. In such a collection of mouthwater.my I)wn garden I am par- ing endearments concerning ticularly anxious about the food and the joys of eating it. azaleas, which are fragile to begin with, 'and which cann-ot stand the' weight of the snow above them. At this juncture there is nothing that can be done about the situation except to hope that the harm is minimal.

There is, however, damage that I can see already. Our grapevine collapsed in two places and the two-by-twos we used as braces will have to be replaced as soon as the snow disappears. This is hardly a big job, because we will be pruning our vine as soon as the snow disappears anyway, so the job of replacing cross braces will be rather minor.

Misshapen Greens I am sure that some of the evergreens .vill be affected.

Everywhere one looks one sees tall greens 'bent under the weight of the snow ,much like Frost's spruces and birches which fall to the ground in attempting to support the snow which falls on them.

I suspect that there will be any number of misshapen greens visible in foundation plantings in the area and I am sure many a gardener will be out with his pruning shears in ·the Spring.

Normally snow has some value in insulating plant roots from severe cold but this kind of snow is definitely harmful to most ,plants as well as garden structures. Aside from the deleterious effects on the garden it certainly has' done very little for mid;'Winter nerves! Our only hope is that a gradual thaw will occur shortly and that the green grass will begin to 'appear with the coming of Spring.

In the Kitchen Robert Farrar Capon has written a book for lovers--lovers of good food, lovers of meaningful thought, and lovers of the written word. Just published by Doubleday, Father Capon's book, The Supper of the Lamb, is the most unusual dissertation on food that I have ever come across.

A book that contains within its first few pages the following statements "The world mayor may not need another cookbook, but it needs,all the lovers--amateurs--it can get. It is a gorgeous old place, full of clownish graces and beautiful drolleries, and it has enough textures, tastes, and smells to keep us intrigued for more time than we • have. Unfortunately, however, our response to its loveliness is not always delight; It is, far more often than it should be, boredom. And that is not only odd, it is tragic; for boredom is not neutral-it is the fertilizing principle .of unloveliness,". can not be classified as a mere cookbook.

In fact, if just a cookbook is what you're after, then don't waste your money on Father Capon's book. (The author is an Episcopalian priest who teaches dogmatic theology and Greek at a seminary on Long Island.)

If, however, you have a friend who feels that the bare prepara,tion of food is an art then by all means gift her with this masterpiece. Never since Lamb's writings on roast pig has there been

Rev. Kevin Tri'pp will celebrate and the Pebbles will sing at a folk Mass in the women's ward of the Rose Hawthorne Home on Bay Street, Fall River, at 2 Saturday afternoon, March 22. T'he Mass will be the first . celebrated in a ward at the home, enabling patients who cannot go to the chapel to attend.

The Pebbles, said ,the Hawthorne Dominicans who staff the home, have ,been singing for the patients and penformlng volunteer tasks on a regular basis for some months. Their moderator is Sister Barbara Thomas, S.U.S.C.

Yes, this is a joyful book, full of the zest for life and living that Father Capon must possess.

Take Warning If you or anyone to whom you intend to give this volume is a diet or health bug, then take warning, for the author treats dieters and dietitians quite unkindly: "Perhaps you see, therefore, why I think taste must come before nutrition."

NEW YORK (NC)-American Christians have been asked to urge "the powerful U. S. government to force the United Nations to make a great effort to settle the Middle East situation."

The request came from leaders of three Coptic Christian Churches in Egypt.

"We are afraid," they said in an open letter, "that war is about to 'break out again between Israel an,d the bordering 路Arab countries." 'The next war in the Middle East will have international repercussions, they warned, and could easily "bring a confrontation- between the great powers and explode into a world conflict."

The letter, which was made 'public by the Rev. Dr. R. H. Edwin' Epsy, general secretary of the National Council of Churches, also requests that U. S. Christians aid Arabs in every way, especially their children.

Dr. Epsy received the open 'letter from the heads of the Coptic Catholic, Coptic Orthodox, and Evangelical Coptic Churches in Egypt.

"Another generation of Arab children," the letter continued, "is being reared in those unnatural conditions in Israelioccupied lands, inadequately fed, improperly sheltered, clad in the cast-off clothes of others," deprived of their "Godgiven dignity and self-respect."

Senator Advocates Envoy to V citi'can PeB Favores Improved Relationship WASHINGTON (NC)-Advoeating U.S.-Vatican ties, Sen. Clairborne Pell of Rhode Island told the U.S. Senate: "In this a.ge of total and instant annihoilation, the Uni,ted States government surely should be in daily, official contact with the Church's campaign 'literally !to save the world froin destroying itself."

The senator commended President Nixon's emphasis on the importance of U.S.-Vatican relations and his announcement that he is considering sending an envoy to the Vatican. ,Pell declared, "We should take steps to improve our relationship with the Vatican' which, it seems to me, can ,best be done by appointing an envoy." He said' there "is nothing new or novel in this idea," saying that for 73 years, from 1797 to 1870 when Italy took over !the Papal States, the U.S.' had consular rela.tions with the Vatican and from 1848 to 1868 maintained regular diplomatic relations.

Great Advantage Presidents FrankHn D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman from 1939 to 1950 had the late Myron Taylor as their personal repre': sentative at the Vatican with an official staff, the senator said.

He added: "I suggest that this latter approach or one similar to it, would be of great advantage 10 us ,a:t this time." ' "The initiative of Pope John, which Pope Paul continues, puts the Vatican in the vanguard of peace," Pell said. "Pope Paul's recent historic visits to the Holy Land, India, Latin America and

the Uni路ted States provided a dramatic demonstration of the profound influence for peace which his papacy holds."

In this age of total and instant annihilation, the. UnLted States Government surely should be in , , daily, official contact ,with the Church's campaign literally to save the world from, destroying itself.

"Simply from the ,viewpoint of.' knowing more about <the world, and pal'ticularly behind the Curtain, I believe we are at a serious disadvantage in not having 'direCt access ,to Vatican sources of inforamtion and intelligence," he declared. ,"Furthermore', we need a more effective method of bringing 'our p-overnment's views on world issues to the attention of the .papacy," he said.

Serve National Interests "If such' a I s,trong Protestant country as England, where Anglicanism is the established church, can ,maintain full diplomatic relations with the Vatican, as has been the case since 1914, certainly we can do so," he continued.

"In fact, 63 countries, including Communist Cuba and Po-' land, presently m'aintain diplomatic representatives at ,the Vatican. Only about ttwo thirds of these nations could be characterized as Catholic nations. More..: over, 10 of the 15 members of the United Nations' Security Colincil are amongst those nations maintaining diplomatic relations with the Vatican," Pell asserted.

FRESNO (NC)-Bishop Timothy Manning of Fresno has praised President Nixon's decision to order a cabinet-level study of the nation's farm labor problems.

The President ordered the Secretaries of Labor and Agri-culture to make an in-depth study )Yith a view to formulating a policy of equity and jus-tice for all concerned.

/

"I am not unmindful of the sensitivities of my fellow Protestants, hut I am simply saying that I believe our national interests would be best served by having an offic~al ,open channel of communication with the Vatican," he said. ' "I am glad President Nixon is considering this matter, and strongly hope ,that this conclusion will be to send art' envoy there," Pell' stated.

U~d~tl fiPl~ pX'rfSBURGH (NC) The Committee for Community Progress here has criticized three prominent Pittsburgh clergymen for their attitudes toward high school disruptions in the Hazelwood area.

The CCP statement criticized the three, all of whom have been active in the civil rights movement, as "contributing nothing toward路 easing the tensions" in the Hazelwood area. The section of the city has a mixed population racially, and the local high school has been the scene of disruption.

CCP accused Msgr. Charles Owen Rice, Father Donald W. McIlvane and Canon Julius F. Carter for their attitude toward the disturbances at Gladstone high school.' The Pittsburgh Area Council on Religion and Race, of which Canon Carter and Father McIlvane are active members, has called for an in. vesiigation into the arrests of a larger number of black students than of whites.

Msgr. Rice, in a column in the Pittsburgh Catholic, wrote that "we have trouble in Hazelwood because that community has not been at ease with its black newcomers; all around our diocese we have known of the dreadful treatment given the excellent priests there who have talked of brotherhood and accommodation, or dared to open parish facilities to poor blaek children." lVIsgr. Rice criticized most Pittsburgh law enforcement officials and said that white leadership seems incapable of providing the sensitivity' and finesse to deal with the troubled situation at the racially mixed high school.

He noted: "The director of public safety (David W. Craig), one of the few men to display compassion and insight is, 'for that very display, almost a political outcast."

He also said: "May the Lord _ help the unfortunate city whose peace is in the hands of our district attorney, our superintendent of police, our governor and certaIn Neanderthal judges."

The CCP statement said that if the clergymen are sincere in seeking to resolve the situation at Gladstone, "their consciences could not permit them to further divide the people."

In reference to Msgr. Rice's column, the CCP said: "People of all races look to the clergy for guidance and understanding, but all they have received of late is accusations and contempt for the leaders of the city, county and state."

Enter Negotiations With Lay Teachers BAYONNE(NC)-The Marist Brothers have entered into negotiations over salary demands with 13 lay teachers on the staff of Marist High School here in New Jersey.

The negotiations were launched after the teachers returned to school following a period during which they reported "sick" for five days.

Contract talks had b~en broken off prior to the "job action" when officials of the private school said salaries could not be 'raised for -the 1969-70 school year.'

Classes were held as usual, except for one day, at Marist, with Brothers doubling up and some administrative personnel moving into the classrooms.

EDMONTON (NC)-The Edmonton archdiocese, attempting to ease the local housing shortage, is making 130 acres of land availab1e for low cost housing.

Archbishop Anthony Jordan, O.M.I., has applied to the Edmonton Regional Planning Commission for rezoning of the land which would be sold at cost to people in low income groups.

The land originally was purchased by the Canadian archdiocese for a junior college site, but the college plan was rejected by the provincial government.

Lots for up to 520 single family dwellings would be available at $500 a lot, plus $1,500 for servicing,' making a total price of $2,000 a lot.

Archbishop Jordan said purchase price of the land would return the archdiocese's original investment and other costs but that little or no .profit would be made on the sale. Plans for development are still in a preliminary stage and no firm decisions have been made. He said the land would be sold directly to low income buyers.

"We are anxious to make it impossible for speculators to defeat our fundamental purpose of making available this land for ~ow cost housing," the archbishop said in making plain the land will not be sold to a developer.

University Outlines Deacon Preparation Proposes Two-Year COLLEGEVILLE (NC) ~ A proposed course of studies has been prepared by the school of divinity at St. John's Universi,ty here in Minnesota anticipation of training for the permanent di,aconate.

St. John's, along with other sHes in the archdiocese of Detroit and Washington, has been selected as an approved training center for permanent deacons by the United States Bishops Commission on' the Permanent Diaconate.

The .permanent diaconate has been in disuse in the Church for many centuries, with the order serving only as a stepping stone to .the priesthood. Now, with the decision of the U.S. ,bishops and the legacy of Vatican II, the diaconate has take'n on renewed importance.

Peace Group Seeks Stockade Inquiry NEW YORK (NC) - PAX, Catholic peaCe association, has called fora congressional investigation of conditions at the Presidio Al"I11Y Stockade in San Francisco and also at army stockades across the country.

The army stockade investigation petition is the result of long sentences at hard labor imposed upon prisoners at t'he Presidio following a non-violent sit-iIi for the redress of grievances.

Course of Studies

A. man, single or ma,rried, 35 or older, upon selection by his bishop, can successfully complete a two-year program of course studies, be' ordained as a permanent deacon and have the power to administer formal baptisms, officiate at marriages, read Scripture during Mass and perform a variety of parish administrative duties.

The curriculum at路 St. John's parallels that of the school of divinity but the plan has been to keep it separate. The proposed course of study spans a two-year period, including Itwo interim periods. It is composed of: . First Semester. Survey of Old and New Testament, Moral Theology,Parish Sociology, and Speech Training.

Second Semester. The Sunday Epistles, Christology, religious education and pastoral counseling. .

First Semester, second year.

The Sunday Gospels, Homiletics, Ecclesiolo~y, Spirituality.

Second Semester, second year.

The Sacraments, Liturgy, Canon.

Law, and field training.

Interim Periods .Both interim periods, during the month of January, will involve the prospective deacon in the secular community. The first interim will demand his services in ,the Center for Urban EncounIter, where he will meet imd live with dispossessed, minority inhabitants of the central city.

The second interim permits him, under the Clinical Pastoral Education program, to establish interpersonal relationships wi,th patients at 'area hospitals and corrective institutions.

The basic courses in the diaconate program at St. John's, like the others in Detroit and Washington, will be a mixture of lecture, small group discussion and seminars. The deacon will also have at his disposal the 82 course offerings of the graduate school of ,theology at St. John's and the facilities of the other academic depantments on campus.

The entire program is designed to "prepare men academically and professionally according to the directives of Vatican II for apostolic work in the contemporary world," the St. John's proposal says.

WASHINGTON (NC) -Contributions for relief in Biafra and in Vietnam were reported at a five-state regional meeting here of the Catholic Daughters of America.

MIAMI (NC) - Edwin W. Tucker, chairman of the Miami. archdiocesan Human Relations Board, characterized a contract agreed to by a food corporation and migrant laborers as "the kind of thing that must evolve if agricultural workers' standards are to be improved."

"Stated work requirements on the part of both the employer and employee seem highly desirable ' for all agricultural laborers," he said.

Tucker referred to a work contract 'b~tween American Foods, Inc., of Delray Beach, and attorneys for the South Florida Migrant Legal Services.

It was the first written agreement for agricultural workers in south Florida. ,The contract calls for a writ-

ten agreement with all labor directly recruited by the firm in Puerto Rico; guarantees a minimum 30-hour work week, for 20 weeks; provides free housing for single men and a maximum charge of $15 for a family; and provides workmen's compensation, not now required by law for agricultural employes, as well as t'ransportation to and from Puerto Rico if the migrant works more than 12 weeks.

PRIESTS SENATES: Presidents and delegates of the Senates of Priests of the Boston Province met recently to discuss the National Federation of Priests Councils meeting in New Orleans on Mar. 24, 25 and 26. One of their concerns is that all priests rea~ carefully the Federation publication, Forum, and the news releases on the meetings to acquaint themselves with the Feder-

Urges Boy Scout Leaders to Aid Less Fortunate PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Philadelphia Boy Scout leaders have been urged to "leave their own sheltered sa.,ctuarles 'and move among the less fortunate areas of the city."

Speaking at the annual Scouter's Recognition Dinner of the Archdiocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting, Bishop William G. Connare of Greensburg, national episcopal moderator for scouting, called for "a willingness on the part of certain men to commit themselves to areas other ,than their own parish neighborhood."

"Unless generous men do this," Bishop Connare noted, "not for personal glory or gain, but simply in the spirit of service, scouting is not likely to succeed in these depressed areas."

Best ECUlimenlsm "Pursuing this idea can present a very real challenge in our day," the Penna. See Ordinary declared. "Accepted in this spirit of a challenge, this involvement will bring blessing both to the man who gives and to the boy who receives encouragement from this service."

Bishop Connare cautioned, however: "The outsider must be smart enough to withdraw as soon as looalleadership is able to handle the situation entirely on its own."

He characterized such an attitude as "ecumenism at its very best" 'and as "service in its purest form."

Bishops Plan Synod In East Germany BERLIN (NC)-The East German bishops :have established a commission ,to prepare for a synod in t'he communist-ruled country, it was reported an the East Berlin diocesan weekly, St. Hedwigsblatt. The commission was formed at the iFebruary meeting of the East German bishops. ,The West German bishops at 路their February conference in Bad Honnel, near Bonn, announced that a joint synod of West German dioceses will be held in the Fall of 1972.

Senate Hears National Federation Officer

The latest meeting of the Senate of Priests of the Diocese was addressed by Rt. Rev. Colin MacDonald, Senate President of the Diocese of Manchester and Vice President of the National Federation of Priests Councils.

The Fall River Senate is a member for this year of the Federation but has voted to poll the priests of the Diocese to receive their instructions' on remaining in the Federation or of . withdrawing. It was voted to do this polling after the Federation's national meeting had taken place at the end of this month and, hopefully, after a general meeting of all priests of the Diocese at which Msgr. MacDonald could explain more fully the goals and work of the Federation.

Priests of the Diocese and the country have received the first issue of the Federation's magazine, Forum, and it is hoped that priests of the Diocese will read this carefully to acquaint themselves more fully aboul' the Federation.

Msgr. MacDonald spo~e of the Federation as not a union but a service agency for priests' and as a forum for the topics of interest to them. While decrying some of the incorrect publicity centering around the Federation, he stated that he felt the Federation was trying to accomplish works of service to the priests and the Church and that if it failed through lack of support then a worthwhile opportunity would have been lost.

Msgr. MacDonald spoke on a wide range of topics-Personnel Boards and their function, the

It was announced that Rev. E,dward A. Oliveira, Senate President' and Rev. Peter F. Mullen would be delegates from the Fall River Senate to the Federation's national meeting in New Orleans on March 24, 25, 26.

On committee reports, it was stated that Bishop Connolly has approved the study day scheduled for the Fail Clergy Conference. The survey on the Personnel Board - its function and work - sent to all priests is showing encouraging response.

Work is progressing on other committees.

The meeting closed with a discussion of some of the topics that will be presented before the Federation's national meeting-election of bishops, mar.ried diaconate, permanency of Senates, revision of the Code of Canon Law, effective means of recourse in the Church.

Once.upon a time ... a cheerful, brave young man dared to be different. Christ offered him a challenge and he took it. The young man dared to give up his own little self in order to take on the big work of Christ, and he became one of man's greatest heroes-one of God's greatest saints.

It's a true and wonderful story! Francis of Assisi loved life. He loved mankind and he loved God. With the peace and the love of Christ as his only tools he built a new world of Christian hope and touched the hearts of mil~ions.

And St. Francis never really diedl For seven hundred years those who have dared to accept the challenge of Christ to follow Francis have kept the peace and the love of Christ alive, vibrant and meaningful.

Wherever you go today you find a Franciscan Priest or Brother who has given up himself with St. Francis in order to bri,ng the peace and love of Christ to men-in order to keep on building a new world of Chris. tian hope.

Christ is still calling cheerful, brave young men to meehhe challenge.

There's no reason why He could not call you. If you hear the challenge of Christ and dare to be different, there's no reason why you shouldn't discover St. Francis and try to follow him.

B\lt Little Sisters of the Poor Retain Faith in St. Joseph ST. LOUIS (NC) - The Little Sisters of the Poor may be borrowing money from the federal government, but it doesn't mean they've abandoned S1. Joseph.

The' Little Sisters, fabled for their dependence on their heavenly provider, broke ground in north St. Louis this week for a new, nine:'story apartment residence for the elderly, replacing the pre'sent century-old structure.

Financing the project is a $2 million 50-year loan from the federal Housing and Urban Development department, under provisions of the Senior Citizens Housing Act of 1959.

Sister Augustine, superior, said it is the first time Little Sisters have borrowed money for construction-but does not represent a loss of trust. ,

HUD loan is just one form of assistance, and that S1. Joseph, who is still our provider, and our friend, will help us payoff the loan."

Claims Jail Inmates In Peru Untried LIMA (NC)-A prison chaplain has claimed that 75 per cent of the 12,000 jailed persons in Peru have not been tried or convicted.

E'ather Lucas Hernando, head of the Prisons Apostolate here, urged a court reform that will narrow the jurisdiction of courts and increase the number of judges.

The priest and a group of Lima women were instrumental in securing jobs for about 500 former prisoners last year.

That is to say, by comparison with people who are caught in the' inner city, middle and upper-class suburbanites belong to a privileged class and con'~e­ quently can be expected to play a much bigger role than 'many of them are now playing in helping' to solve the urbanracial crisis.

The next release of this column will examine this point in somewhat greater detail.

Goldma 's Book on L.B.J. Blend 0 History, Memoir Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

Lyndon Johns n, even at the height of his' success, was a passe President. This is the judgment of Eric Goldman, professor of histo y at Princeton, who, from late 1963 until September, 196 was a consultant to the President and occupied a White ouse office. He expresses it in The warded memos suggesting proj-, Tragedy of Lyndo J ohnsofl ects, programs, material for Some of his offerings (Knopf; 501 Mad son Ave., speeches. were acted upon, more or less, New York, N. Y. 10 22, $8.95), an enormous, and in eed overinflated, book, which none the less holds one's attention throughout. In Professor Goldman's view, Mr. Johnson was out of touch with American society as it had developed by th~ middle 1 9 6 0'5.

I n

domestic issues, he as captive to the' concepts of T xas populism and the New Deal, and thought their fulfill ent suf~icient. ' In foreign policy, "he grasped into the past and laid hold of an attic doctrine whic included even apostrophes to t e flag and international deeds f derringdo." But America an the world had moved well be ond these situations and attitud s.

High Intellige ce Much more than th s accounts for what Professor Goldman considers to he th - Johnson tragedy. There are, f r example, what he sees as the f aws iIi the man himself. These ay be reduced to a basic 'ins curity resulting from his cram ed beginnings and theirbperma ent effect ,when he was vaulte into the paramount and mos powerful position in the Unite States.

Professor' Goldman gives Mr. Johnson high marks or intelligence. The author has associated with brilliant peopl, but he says, "I am sure th t I have never met a more intelligent person than Lyndon Johnsonintelligent in terms of sheer IQ's, a clear, swift, penetrating mind, with an abundance f its own type of imagination a d subtleties." , The trouble, as he elieves, is that this native a ility was never properly. deve oped, fed, stretched. Mr. Johnso 's education was poor in subs ance" plying an excellent ind with skimpy fare. The Pre ident had some awareness of thi , and was touchy, about it. It w s in envy and self;.. defense that he spoke slightingly of Harvar I ' men.

Not an InUrn te Professor Goldman, although in the White House for some years, was not an i timate of the President's, nor d es it appear that he saw him ery often.

He had been assigne the task of assembling a gro p of the "best minds" in the country, the objective being to p esent the President with ideas.

while others fell into oblivion of file or wastebasket.

Readily allowing that he was not an insider, and that his cannot be counted an insider's story of the Johnson administration, Professor Goldman avows aspiring merely to write a modest, informal blend of history and memoir. He does not adn;lit to any desire to payoff accumulated scores, but some will see the book in that invidious light.

Lilttle IDIormation Certainly his portrait of Mr. Johnson is not, on balance, an admiring one. The former President, he says, strictly divided' all people into two classes: friends' and enemies. He wanted no disagreement. He sought to head a feudaJ establishment.

Some of the Goldman reporting (or repetition) is quite pedestrian, 'and evidences little if any special information on the writer's part. Parts of it could advisedly have been cut. But one's notice is caught by Professor Goldman's contention that it was' not the secretive and even sly involvement of the country in combat on the Asian mainland which undermined popular confidence in the Preside~t. ' He maintains that even at the peak of his presidency, Mr. Johnson did not command the people's trust. "The conspicuousness of his political' skills, combined with the general impression left by' the man, made more people more sure that he ,did everything only by political legerdemain and only for personal advantage. It was in this context that the charge of credibility gap cut so deeply."

Place in History However, he says, "Probably history will be generous-and it should be-to Lyndon Johnson."

Certainly Mr. Johnson was keenly concerned - about his place in history, and Mr. Gold-' man holds it to be another of the Johnsonial)l mistakes that, the President thought he could de-termine the historical version by sequestering, much of the documentation on which research would have to be based.

Mr. Goldman was commonly regarded as the intellectual in residence at the White House.

This part he strenuously disclaims, and it, was always, clear that the President did not so regard him and did not want him'so regarded. But inevitably Mr. Goldman did_become such a bridge as there was between the White House and the intelle,ctual community.

The bridge had relatively little traffic; and even that little, was not friendly: A whole chapter (57) pages' was given to the White House Festival of Arts in 1965, its planning and its almost aboried occurrence. Misunderstanding and bitter contentiousness C!ttended this even,from its inception. There were hos'tility and bad' manners on the part of some participants, and suspicion' on the part of the White House. ..

The Baptists Joint Committee on Public Affairs, asked the President to keep U. S.-Vatican relations on a ,"flexible and in-' .formaf' basis instead of appointing a permanent diplomatic representative.

The plea was prompted by Nixon's statement that sending a permanent U. S. envoy to the Vatican is a "possibility" that is "under study" at the White House.

~Good

Goods

Come in Small Packages' It's an adage as old as Methuselah that good goods come in small packages. And, down through the ages, individuals of short stature have been quick to proclaim the correctness of this oft-repeated maxim. Corporations have paraphrased and added the ball to smash the last to the meaning with the fering hopes of the Merrimack Valley claim that No.2 is moving Conference champions. Gushue ahead faster than No. 1. ;smothered the ball for the t'hree Bristol County today will attest to the truth of the goodgoods, small-package proverb by pointing to 5'7" John Gushue, a veritable midget in this day of the over-sized basketball player.

But, it was "little" Gushuelittle by comparison with the many giants he has confronted this Winter - who "stole" the ball with three seconds remaining to assure Holy Family High of New Bedford the Eastern Massachusetts Class C court title.

Trailing by one point with only three seconds remaining, previously undefeated North Andover started down the floor for the so-called last shot which it hoped would swish the twines to annex i.ts 26th straight victory.

This was not Gushue's thinking as the astute and alert playmaker re-enacted a PC Lenny Wilkens' accomplishment by pil-

Narragansett seconds as a League representative gained the class title for the third year in a row.

However, as impressive as 'shorty' Gushue's game-saving steal was the success of the likewise little Whaling City parochial school combine. Holy Family has the smallest student enrollment of any school competing in a league within the diocesan territorial limits.

All Massachusetts today knows well the name of Jack Nobrega, the tuxedo salesman who is probably the only 'hi.gh school coach in the area who is not a member of the school faculty.

Nobrega's lads, who have lost only seven games over-all in the last three years, tucked away their second Tech tournament title in ,three seasons ·by edging the northern Massachusetts Class C finalists.

Nobrega 8 s Amazing Annual Success It is more than coincidence

that Nobrega has compiled one of the finest recOl~ds of any New England hoop mentor. He has produced the best possible results from a limited source of player-supply. Nobrega is denied the opportunity of pickand-choose from a large group of aspirants. But he has succeeded in hurdling the obstacle of limited personnel.

Nobrega's talented sharpshooting ace, Billy Walsh, who was far under his point-average in the championship encounter, was the man-of-the-hour in Holy Family's triumph. It was Walsh who tossed ina foul shot in the dying seconds to give the Blue Wave its first lead in the game. And it was immediately following this game-winning score that North Andover started down the floor bent upon a successful last shot. But, the Middlesex Valley club learned to its great disappointment of the 'ability of" little" Gushue who had accomplished similar stellar feats in his team's 25-2 season's mark.

North Andover knew it had to stop Walsh if it were to carry off the honors. But, it didn't realize that the clever Nobrega had a successful game plan.

While North Andover managed to keep Walsh fairly well under wraps in the scoring column, the Whaling City Parochials shifted their attack to Tim Donahue who took up the slack, collecting 14 points. ' While staunch supporters enthuse over Gushue's game-saving steal and Donahue's highscoring total, no one more than Nobrega realizes that the efforts of Gary Dalbec and Jim Lawless were just as important in winning the class championship.

This duo may nof have realized the same hallelujahs. They were nevertheless just as important cogs in the wheel as the more heralded who corralled greater attention in the newspapers.

For the record, favored Catholic Memorial of Roxbury captured the Class A title, besting R'indge Tech, 65-53, while Braintree downed Hyde Park, 63-59, to annex the Class B flag.

Gomes Testimonial Saturday Night The basketeers are no longer using the school gymnasium, but, the baseball candidates are with indoor practice for the upcoming Spring season already underway.

Taunton is the defending titlist in the Bristol County baseball circuit. Seekonk and Somerset are co-defenders in the Narry loop. Dennis-Yarmouth hopes to repeat in the Capeway Conference. Canton was last year's Hockomock victor. Norton will be seeking to duplicate its championship of )ast Spring in the Tri-Valley Coni::rence.

Backlund and Horrocks

01 Fall River-Thurs. Mar. 20, 1969

Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro and Bishop Stang of Dartmouth, who {'inished close on the heels of Taunton in the <BCL, are looking for just that little improvement that wilt carry them' to the top. Durfee High of Fall River 'and Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton must be figured in an.other close BCL race.

Westport looms as the "dark horse" in the Narry competition.

But, the co-champs look like the teams to beat at this stage.

Lawrence High of Falmouth and Fairhaven figure to challenge the Regionals in the Capeway conference.

\

D'on' Backlund of Rehoboth and Dave Horrocks of Segregansett are two reasons Worcester Polytechnic Institute basketball coach, Bobby Devlin, can look with optimism toward the 1969 hoop campaign.

Don, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Backlund of County Street, Rehoboth, is a sophomore who made a definite impression on the head mentor during his brief appearances as a spot starter on the Poly varsity.

Following a fine freshman campaign, Don was elevated to the varsity at the start of the 1968 season, Qut because of a veteran lineup, was used only sparingly through most of the year.

In a late season encounter with a strong Williams College quintet, Backlund was given a starting assignment and responded' with a six-point effort and pulled down nine important ·rebounds. Devlin was pleased with the performance of his 6-1 ·guard and has predicted a bright future for the Rehoboth native.

Horrocks, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Horrocks of 1159 Somerset Ave. in Segregansett, was a starting guard on the fine freshman squad, averaging 12 points per game and leading the team in ,assists.

The two are expected to carry the backcourt duties for the W'orcester varsity five next season.

Backlund and Horrocks are no strangers to each other. Both attended Dighton-Rehoboth High School where they were .stars on the Falcon basketball squad.

Both were starting guards during Backlund's varsity season and each averaged in the double figures.

In addition to the hoop sport, Don also was a standout runner on the D-R cross country

team and a high jumper on the track squad.

Don is one of two Backlund children. His older sister, Claudia, is, an English teacher at Dighton-Rehoboth. In addition to all of the major sports he lists swimming and golf as other top forms of enjoyment.

Don actually started college at .Clarkson in Potsdam, N. Y. but transferred to Poly in 1967.

He is a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and is a Dentis'try major.

During the past two Summers he has worked as a greens keeper at the Crestwood Country Club in Rehoboth and plans to return this year.

Dave is the younger of two Horrocks boys. His brother, Kenneth, is a member of the United States Army and is presently stationed at the Army Language School at Ft. Bliss, Texas.

Tennis, golf, swimming and dancing are favorite forms of entertainment for the intelligent Segregansett native who came

to Worcester Poly on an Instrtute Scholarship.

Upon his graduation in 1972, Dave would like to teach Chemical Engineering but his plans beyond that remain incomplete.

Both boys will no doubt spend a great deal of time this Summer "married" to a basketball.

They have the makings of becoming tap flight roundball stars and with Coach Devlin singing the praises of each, it shouldn't be too hard keeping the pair in hi&h gear.

Mansfield, which finished third a year ago, should furnish the stiffest opposition for Canton in the Hockomock while Hopedale, which copped the Class D Eastern Mass. pennant last season, may cause Norton some headaches before the curtain drops in June.

Hammond Auditorium in the New Bedford Vocational School will probably be filled to the rafters on Saturday night when a testimonial wiU be held for Rev. Mr. Martin Gomes who will be ordained to the priesthood in May. A team including Brother Gomes, his well-knowri 'brothers and relatives will clash with an all-star aggregation.

The all-Gomes club has New Bedford court enthusiasts chewing on the bit, so to speak, for a contest that it has longed to see.

Brother Gomes will become a member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts Fathers.
