'High Schoolers Need More Formal Training DAYTON (NC)-Formal religious training seems to be more important on the high school level than in the elementary grades, in the opinion of Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame.

Asked here aoout priorities in the nation's Catholic school system during an era of financial crisis, Father Hesburgh said his background has been entirely in higher education, "which probably gives me a bias toward high schools, because that's where we get our students."

But it is on the high school hivel "where life begins to become meaningful or not meaningful to youngsters," he con-

Dutch Postpone Ordination For Year UTRECHT (NC) - . The usual practice of ordaining a man after he has studied philosophy and theology and received some pastoral training will no longer be followed in this Dutch archdiocese.

Instead, a man will be ordained a priest only after he has completed at least a y~ar's work in some pastoral position and then presents himself to his bishop for ordination.

If he does not ask to be ordained a priest, he may continue to work in his pastoral post. If the man desires to marry, however, he must receive special permission to continue in the pastoral post because of the additional financial obligation the archdiocese would have toward a married employe.

This new route to the priesthood was worked out by the Turn to Page Six

tinued. As young people approach maturity they begin to ask the more difficult questions, the "long-range, ultimate questions," he said.

A student starts to ask "what is life all about, where am I going, am I a rea1 member of society or just a passive member, what do I have to contribute, what do I want to do with my' life, what about girls and boys?"

According to ·the Notre Dame president, such questions really come to life in high school. He added: "I would think that if there is going to be some special religious guidance, high school would be the place where it might be given, where parental help might be supplemented somewhat by professionals."

Religious values on both the elementary and secondary levels "ought to be coming from the home," he said. Classes in school can supplement the home, but teaching a child how to .pray, to make his first Communion, to understand what prayer, truth, sacrifice and honesty are all about-"these are the things that parents ought to be conTurn to Page Six

SISTER KATHRYN MARY

Father O'Neill is aware of the prevelance of problems among the children in the schools. He envisions Sister Kathryn Mary as' a liaison person between the School Office and the personnel of the various towns and cities of the diocese. Sister will provide diagnostic service and make referrals. "I feel that we need a specialist in the area of learning disabilities to set up interviews with the concerned principal, the teacher, the parent and the child. Sister will be there to direct, support and encourage.

Father O'Neill stated: "Children with Learning Disabilities present us with many types of concern. There are a few children with a complexity of learning disabilities who need special school services. Some have perceptual or aural handicaps. Others are just slow learners. Sister Kathryn Mary will provide the professional approach in solving these problems. We feel we are moving in the right direction by giving our children the advantages of this service."

their idealism seriously, an opportunity to practice generosity in good causes, and a legitimate and meaningful participation in a society they want to improve."

He listed the main elements of his own program as follows: A declaration by Congress and the President that "for the first time in the history of any nation on earth, all those young people who wanted further education beyond high school would have it available." The total cost, he added, would be only oneseventh of the federal tax share of the ann ual increase' in the na· tion's gross national product.

In return for such federal assistance to students able and willing to do college work, allow them to pick the time, place and condition of service to others, here or abroad. "Allow it in existing government programs, such as the Peace Corps or Vista, in secular or religious groups, formally or informally organized, in the inner city or Appalachia or in the university itself."

The option of substituting this year of national service, with equal time requirements, for the obligation of military service.

"We take the draft as our standard and only form of obligated service, but for 90 per cent of our national history, there was no draft," he said.

The granting of the vote at age .18. "Recent political history has taught us that young people even without the vote, can enliven political campaigns and sharpen t he substantive issues involved," he said. "If they had the vote as well, then their valid questions would have to be answered by the candidates."

MONTPELIER (NC)-The Vermont House of Representatives refused to accept a $100,000 appropriation request to help parochial schools hire more lay teachers' next year and thus offset school closings.

The chamber voted 82-59 against the money request which had been reduced from $250,000.

The original amendment seeking the emergency funds was offered by Rep. Brian Burns. His proposal ran into opposition from some lawmakers who questioned the propriety of giving public aid to private institutions.

Earlier, the Burlington diocesan school board had issued a statement informing the legislature that as much as $500,000 might be required "to finance the cost of additional lay teachers for the 1969-70 school year."

No Further Notice "With this assistance," the board said, "supplemented as necessary by financial support from diocesan funds and parish tuition, the diocesan board will be in a position to commit itself to the continued operation of the. parochial school system 011 (0 0" Otherwise, it will have to announce "that the contraction of the system" will occur.

The diocesan board held a closed meeting fol1owing the legislative action but issued no statement.

Paul Guare, a representative for Catholic education at the' state legislature, said the House refusal of the appropriation request had freed Catholic officials from any obligation to give the public sector further notice .of elementary and secondary parochial school closings.

It is hoped that the canonical proceedings toward beatification can soon move to Rome. A Church tribunal has yet to decide on whether or not unapproved veneration has been given to the children.

WASHINGTON (NC) AlI things considered, perhaps the situation best may be summed by paraphraSing that old vaudeville "wife" joke-"Now you take the entertainment business -Please!"

For the deceny-bent, the theater, movies and, lately, TV are now a source of constant complaint. Nudity is blatant in theater and movies; there's an overabundance of plots on themes formerly seldom discussed in polite society. TV is being knocked for too much violence and offcolor material.

As one observer aptly remarked-no longer does the cowboy hero bashfully ignore the girl, caress his horse and ride off into the sunset; instead he gulps raw Iikker consorts with dance hall gals ~nd lets loose with vulgarities and obscenties never intended for tender, young ears.

Jack Valenti, erstwhile White House aide tuil1ed movie czar, has been making a .valiant effort to check nudity and un1:avory themes on the now tarnished silver screen.

The voluntary code adopted by the movie industry last November has been working-but a dearth of family-type pictures continues, while the restriCted "R" and "X" movies mount. .No longer are human passions depicted by timeworn symbolic scenes of flames suddenly leaping upward in a fireplace or mounting waves beating against a shoreline. Instead, today it's like the old cigarette ,ad slogan-"Nature in the raw is seldom mild" .

d.

Runmng Scare When Valenti persuaded producers and distributors to adopt the rating system, he admitted frankly a substantial portion of the industry was running scared of legislative censorship. 'That bugaboo seems to be growing, 'judging from uncomplimentary observations emanating from Capitol Hill.

And now the youngsters have' taken up the cudgels against unsavory movies, Touched off by "Teens for Decency" rally of 30,000, in Miami's Orange Bowl in March, youngsters in cities and towns the country over have been picketing and demonstrating for cleaner movies.

Here in the nation's capital, a couple dozen high school girls picketed a theater showing an "X" movie. The near-sighted manager remarked to a reporter it was good for business and

A

call for unity and concerted action of all branches of Franciscans was sounded at a meeting of 100 Midwest leaders representing more than 40,000 Franciscan priests, Brothers, cloistered and convent Sisters, and laity.

The meeting at St. Francis Retreat House here in Illinois was organized and led by Father Mark Hegener, O.F.M., provincial director of the Third Order.

Keynote speaker was Father Sergi us Wroblewski, O.F.M., professor of theology at Christ the King Seminary, West Chicago.

To meet world changes and cQn" form with the Church's response, he urged a consensus of Franciscan thought and action to spread certain values.

I He listed such values as fraternity in an age of aloneness, use of creatures to serve men and glorify the Creator, a war against greed in time of starvation and poverty, nonviolence in time of strife, unceasing adoration amid growing atheism and agnosticism, dialogue with believers and unbelievers,' and atonement for religious disunity.

Servant Community Father Wroblewski said the world has been moving away from the spiritual and, in response, the Church now offers itself as the "suffering servant."

The Franciscans' part will be as a servant community, as St. Francis himself had in mind, he continued.

His community "tried to invite the Church to empty herself of wealth and power and become poor again, so as to truly rule only by love," he said.

Father Mark, in a homily during Mass at the beginning of the meeting, said the world expects Franciscans to behave like members of a single family, always ready to help one another and ease one another's burdens. This dates back to the early days of Christianity, he said.

"All branches of the Franciscan family are now at a historical and religious ~atershed when decisions must be made and a new spirit awakened. The call now is for each member to engage himself to bring realization of the type of fraternal community in the Church in the image and likeness of its early New Testament protoype. This is our resolution," Father Mark said.

Ask Team A.pproach To Parish Problems CLEVELAND (NC) - Better communications and more cooperation between priests and Sisters in parishes were called for at a meeting of some 130 pastors and 120 nuns here.

They heard a "team approach" to parish problems urged by Mother Annunciata, superior general of the Ursuline nuns of Cleveland, and Mother Mary Eileen, mother general of the Sisters of St. Dominic, Akron.

Mother Annunciata told the pastors that Sisters are ready, willing and available to become involved in significant activities related to their teaching aposto-' late, and that some communities have revised their rules to make the Sisters more available.

She asked the pastors to initiate dialogue with Sisters and urged that each parish become "team oriented" with priests, Sisters and laity working together.

DETROIT lNC) - Phillip O. Tanguay, 48, has been appointed

by John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit to be his delegate to the 1,500,000 laymen in the eight<:Dunty archdiocese, effective July 1.

The cardinal has two other delegates who are auxiliary bishops: Bishop Joseph M. Breitenbeck, delegate to members of religious orders and Bishop Walter J. Schoenherr, delegate to priests. .

Tanguay's work will include keeping the cardinal and his staff aware of the needs and attitudes of the laity as they relate to Church policy, and keeping the laity up to date on Church matters affecting them. His liaison role is expected to cut red tape for laymen seeking to press grievances, or to get fast action from archdiocesan staff offices on matters of interest to them.

Appointment of Tanguay is an implementation of Vatican Council II's decree on the laity, which urged that the role of laymen in Church affairs be broadened and intensified.

,Cametraderae of Danger Fred M. Hechinger, an editorial writer for The New York Times, has pointed out that one theme which runs through all student uprisings and which dare not !Je overlooked is that of cameraderie. After the occupatIOn of a building at Harvard a student reporter could write, "What was most euphoric, however, was us and what we were to each other. For those few hours we were brothers and sisters . . . . we were very together."

The poignancy of such a remark which is common to so many student protests should not be lost ,or lightly brushed aside.

Many students are lonely.' They are l~oking--for a togetherness which perhaps they never had- in their own families and do not have in college. A protest, a rebellion, a cause-these things link them together, in a cameraderie of daring and danger. And they receive an emotional uplift from banding together against an establishment or an , institution.

..:"..

College life puts a premium on individual effort and achievement and thus it encourages a loneliness. Students face exams and examiners one by one and stand or fall for now and their whole future on what they know or on what they answer or fail to answer in test papers and reports.

ers have not prepared people. to be able, to be alone at times without being lonely, dedicated to reason without being devoid o( emotions, at peace with the community of one's fellows while able to be at peace within oneself. ., ,

Southeastern' Massachusetts with its fine highways, miles of beaches, ocean and many ponds provide opportunities for relaxing and healthful vacationing ·for resident~ and tourists.

Sadly, the area has already witnessed several tragedies of drowning and' boating mishaps and .highway deaths. And the vacation season has hardly' begun.

It is not too soon, then, to sound warnings about the Summer season.

The Church in the area has tried to provide every opportunity for spiritual health with the multiplying of Masses and the opportunity to fulfill the Sunday Mass obligation by scheduling Masses on the vigil of Sunday, on Saturday evening.

The Church is also concerned about physical welfare, too. Those driving and boating and swilJ1ming are urged to recognize the moral implications of tpese health~ ful activities and to use all caution and prudence so that their Summer may be healthy physically and wholesome spiritually.

Wisconsin 'Work-Release' Prisoner Attends Catholic College WEST DE PERE (NC)-There is one freshman amo'ilg the more than 1,600 students attending St. Norbert College here who live an unusual off-campus life.

From 8 A.M. to' 5 P.M. Mono.> day through Friday he looks and acts like any other student, in his tennis shoes, grey slacks and white knit shirt. He is studying business administration, English and music.

Arnold's path to St. Norbert was hardly the usual. one. , One day before he was planning to drop out of high .school in Milwaukee, he was arrested on burglary charges,' convicted and sentenced to seven years at the State Reformatory. That was in ,May, 1967.

Frank Wood of St. Norbert College.

"For the first time I read a few books that I enjoyed," Arnold said of the course,which included readings on current events in. America and society.

Though Arnold didn't complete the course, Wood and Arnold's socilil case worker, Delbert Cornette, felt he had the potential to do college-level work.

Discussions between college dean, Donaid King, and Edwin Sybeldon, a social worker who administers 'the work release program at the reformatory, resulted in Arnold's enrollment as a student in an experimental program. Arnold, as far as college and reformatory officials know, is the first inmate to be enrolled as a full-time college student in Wisconsin under the work release program.

Dutch Ordination Continued from Page One archdiocesan commission for the training of priests, in consultation with Bernard Cardinal AIfrink of Utrecht.

Recently 7 to II candidates for the. priesthood in the Utrecht archdiocese refused to accept the' celibacy requirement of the priesthood.

The archdiocese commission on the training of. priests said that the promise of celibacy should be postponed until after the candidate had completed at least' a year of prac~ical and supervised pastoral work.

The new arrangement will permit extensions of the period of pastoral work. Although it will also permit the waiving of the year of pastoral work, this permission will be difficult to obtain, according to the commission.

The new arrangement also provides for the possibility of lay people being consulted before a candidate is accepted for the priesthood.

Father Hesburgh also sugg~sted as a possibility a syst~m in which all elementary and hIgh school children would take their secular subjects in public schoolS and receive formal religious training through some type of released time arrangement.

The Catholic community would, under such a system, concentrate attention on all of its school children. Only half 'the Catholic elementary' school children and a third of the high school children are in Catholic schools at present, he said.

Such an arrangement could apply to Protestant and Jewish children as well, and thus help supply the religious dimension to modern society now s~dly neglected, he said.

I Giving his views at a press conference, Father Hesburgh said college students feel 'l a kind of moral ambiguity about society,· a kind of spiritual' emptiness about it."

The percentage of students "who want to destroy the place as an initial move toward destroying society" which they think is utterly corrupt is very small, but the .majority of students do have "some very serious and real questions to ask" about American society, he added.

TAUNTON CCO PROGRAM: To everyone's regret, a four-year experimental CCO program invohcing four Taunton parishes is coming to an end, with the resignation of its director, Sister Rose Lamb, SUSC, who has accepted the post of CCO supervisor at St. Ann's parish, Raynham. Left, Sister Rose and

Announce Plans For Pope's Trmp To Uganda VATICAN CITY (NC) Pope Paui VI's African pilgrimage, taking up three full days instead of the two earlier anpounced, will include an ecumenical encounter at the hill where Catholic and Anglican Africans died together for their common fidelity. to Cprist.

The Pope will also meet the Ugandan government: leaders and parliament, several hundred bishops from throughout Africa, and some of the neediest and most deprived Africans in centers of social assistance.

On the hill where 13 Catholics and 15 Anglicans burned to death in 1886 rather than deny their Christian faith, the Pope will baptize a group of catechumens.

All this emerged from the program of the Pope's pilgrimage published by the Holy See. Yet what may be the most significant encounter of all was not mentioned: his meeting along the country roads and in towns and cities with hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of Africans who will see a Pope set foot on the African continent for the first time.

Starts July 31 From the flying time allotted the Pope's plane in the schedule, six and one-half hours from Rome to Entebbe, it seems unlikely that he will make any' stops along the way.

There had been talk that he might stop in Alexandria, Egypt, at the invitation of Coptic Christians there. And the Sudanese government, since fallen in a coup d'etat,had invited him to touchdown at Khartoum.

The published schedule begins with the Pope's departure from Rome's Fiumicino Airport at 7:30 on the morning of Thursday, July 31. It ends with his departure from Uganda at an unspecified time in the evening of Saturday, Aug. 2, on the flight back to Rome.

C CD Experimental Program Reveals Teens Seek Sincerity, Variety in Classes

By Dorothy Eastman

All good things come to an end, even experimental CCO programs, as students and teachers from four Taunton parishes are discovering. Four years ago CCO groups from St. Mary's, St. Joseph's, St. Anthony's and Immaculate Conception parishes embarked on an experimental program to find out what advantages there might be in pooling their talents. High A sophomore boy wrote that the experimental program was school students from the Sister Rose "has helped make the elective courses. The school four parishes began coming this the best year out of my year was divided into three terms to Bishop Cassidy High two here and if she is leaving, and students could choose a School on Sunday mornings for the innovative program.

Sister Rose Lamb, the Holy Union Sister who structured and directed the courses, sat at a table in the foyer of the school on the last day of classes and spoke of her regret at having to resign from the program.

A delegation of teachers had just approached her expressing their disappointment at its conclusion.

"I'm glad. they're disappointed," Sister said, "because that means it's been successful."

The stu den t s apparently thought so too. Sister had asked them to comment on the C.C.O. program and they responded with candor and generally with enthusiasm.

A freshman girl wrote with great warmth about her interest in the three courses she took this year, and commented on one teacher who also happened to be the prindpal of her school, Taunton High.

Speaking of her class with him she said, "It gave me a better understanding of the kind of person he is. Not only a principal from my school, but a real true person who wanted to have a better understanding and trust of his students."

Another student, who was impressed by the qualities of the teachers, wrote ."The adults were fine-not some kind of religious freaks but real people who tried to have us benefit from their mistakes and misgivings."

A freshman boy said "I didn't miss a week of this program. 1 like it because it. expresses other thought.s. You see. and know more people through this."

"The teachers and Sisters really worked hard to make this program a success," a junior girl remarked.

the least we can do is to' try to make it even half as good if possible."

Elective Courses Sister Rose, who is chairman of the Teaching Sisters and Brothers Committee for CCO for the diocese, is a science teacher at Bishop Cassidy High School. She has recently accepted the position of director of all CCO programs for St. Ann's parish in Raynham.

Churches Discuss Theology, Marriage CHARLESTON (NC) - Problems concerning theology and marriage were the bases for principal discussions at consultations here between representatives of the Catholic and the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches.

Thirty-two persons took part in the dialogue, jointly sponsored by the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs and the North American Area Council of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.

The consultation included two sections. Dr. James H. Nichols of Princeton Theological Seminary presided at the theology section, and Msgr. Henry Beck, Lyndhurst, N.J., the section on worship and mission.

course during each term.

Among offerings were: Catholics in American History, Christian Careers and Messages in Music.

"I think we proved, too, that parishes can work together to provide a program that will reach a good many students. We can provide a program no one parish alone can do, at least at present, because no project comes alive unless you can draw, on a variety of resources both in terms of people and finances".

The stu den t s apparently agreed with Sister's evaluation.

They liked the variety of courses, . and the freedom to choose them.

Most of all they liked the idea of students from the four parishes coming together, both for the coffee and doughnuts served before class, and for the exchange of ideas that took place in class.

Prelate Discusses Newspaper Policy SPOKANE (NC) - A bishop contended here that a diocesan newspaper' "must be open in ex'pressing views-views that may be different from mine - views that in some instances may contradict my own personal views."

Bishop Bernard J. Topel of Spokane said a diocesan newspaper "is not an official newspaper, in the sense that everything in it without exception is official" and has explicit approval.

As to the Spokane diocesan paper, the Inland Register, the Washington bishop said it "wm not and must not print only things of which I approve," Expressing his views in his column, "Your Bishop and You," in the Inland Register on the editorial policies of a diocesan newspaper, Bishop Topel stated "it is our explicit purpose to inform our readers honestly and openly,"

Recruit Minority Group Students

By Marilyn Roderick Summer is just around the corner and with it the four and five changes of clothes that our children average on anyone balmy day. Polish up that iron, recover your ironing board, and have your serviceman, check out your washer and dryer for as the days get warmer and longer Espirito Santo Feast Day Parade.

My dryer is al- earthed a pair of white shoes for ready creaking and groaning in anticipation of the overuse that he'll get this Summer. Already his innards can feel the scratchy grains of sand that wet, soggy bathing sui t s will spew forth and the weight of the neverending stream of freshly washed sneakers. Wash and wear are marvelous discoveries but like everythJng that is worn they get dirty and thus another case for the household appliances.

Losing Battle It's a' losing battle trying to keep everyone looking fresh and bandbox neat when outdoor activities are the order of the day.

Just this past Sunday I was treated (if you can call it that) to a preview of what the Summer holds in store for clothes care.

First one outfit for each of the girls for church and of course it's never until you're walking down the front stairs and Dad's leaning impatiently on the horn that you notice that Melissa's white patent leathers have suddenly come down with a case of the greys, especially their cloth bows.

Of course at that point, short of being late for Mass, there's no way you ca'. rectify the situation, especially since they have not yet come out with purse-size bottles of white shoe polish. No alternative exists except to sally forth to church and hope no one notices Melissa's shoes.

After church everyone changes into sports outfits and mother goes upstairs to throw up her hands in dismay when she finds the aforementioned church out· fits tossed around in various stages of wrinkles. Ironing board, here we come.

Asks lay Responsibility For Schools' Survival BELMONT( NC)-Father Virgil Blum, S.J., placed 'the responsibility for the survival of Catholic schools squarely on the shoulders of laymen in a talk at the College of Notre Dame here in California.

He said, "I always feel I've failed when, after I've given a talk, parents come to me and wish me good luck."

Father Blum, from Marquette Universisty's political science department, told an audience of parents, nuns and priests that tax funds for non public schools will not be forthcoming unless there is strong grass roots support to force policy makers to adopt the necessary legislation.

"Seven million children in church-related schools are political orphans because there are no large interest groups to speak for them," he added. The priest noted that legislators reo spond to pressure from interest groups and called on parents to organize to inflpence the government.

Melissa from last year that by some miracle still fit her).

Off we venture with everyone sparkling like an ad for your favorite detergent, but alas we forget that at parades they sell cotton candy, ice cream and candy-apples; and before the even passes by these tasty snacks are adorning everyone's dress or shirt front.

Back to the joys of our home laundry and this has to be in march-time because the girls and I are going to a Confirmation that evening and Melissa has pink cotton candy on the front of the dress that: I want her to wear. By this point I'm thanking God for that speedy helper the dryer. From long experience I know that this day will be repeated over and over again with just the settings changing but with the cast of characters (and their many outfits) remaining the same.

And after going through a goodly number of years of this I never see a mother with a lovely looking, 'well-groomed group of youngsters in tow that I don't sil'ently pay tribute to the perseverance, frayed nerves and broken fingernails that went into this pretty picture.

Clarifi,es Ruling Says Stude'nts in Church-Related Schools Ca n Get Gra nts HARRISBURG (NC)-Kenneth R. Reeher, director of the Penn-

sylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), said students in some church-related colleges are eligible to qualify for scholarships under the agency's program.

religious -study does not make it ineligible, Reeher, explained.

It is when the school mandates the study of religion that it is classified as ineligible.

Reeher said that a student's majoring in religion would not, of itself, bar him from receiving state aid.

"This does not constitute theology," he said. "But we do have to look at each individual school to determine eligibility.

"A priest or nun would be eligible for aid in a liberal arts course, for example.

"In the ca~es where the programs of study have been disqualified, it has been based on the institution's requirement that a student enroll in a certain number pf required courses of religion or theology. . "It is important to note that in no case has there been a ruling concerning a student who has elected to enroll in a religion major in schools other than those previously cited."

Only two of the 13 schools affected by the PHEAA ruling are listed as Catholic institutions: Assumption College for Sisters, Mendham, N. J., and Maryknoll College, Glenn Ellyn, III.

WASHINGTON (NC)-A spot check of U. S. Catholic universities found indications there are widespread eft'orts in the mak· ing to recruit more black and other minority group students to the campuses.

The survey also found tUs ef· fort is largely an individual one on the part of each of the schools, with little coordination among them; that the schools are hampered here as elsewhere by a shortage of funds necessary to do the job, and that the universities may be faced by the additional problem of competition from older and richer schools, equally desirous of having more blacks and other traditionally neglected members of society in their academic flmks.

"We have made a concerted effort this year to recruit more black and Puerto Rican students through all the regular recruitment procedures," said Handsel Minyard, assistant to the executive vice president of Fordham University.

"Even to the extent of sending our own black and Puerto Rican students to recruit.' We have been successful in getting kids who otherwise would not be go· ing to college."

Minyard, a Negro, believes similar efforts are underway in other Catholic colleges and universities but, like other officials contacted, is not sure how many.

He feels that "the amount of coordination or even communication (among these schools) is not nearly as great as it should be," and that the schools have not availed themselves of the opportunity to help one another in what should be a common con· cern.

Must Ingredient Initiative is to success what a lighted match is to a candle.

his could weIl be the most important news you've heard in years! Now you may enjoy a special low-cost health protection plan that pays "extra cash" direct to you when unexpected sickness or accident. hospitalizes you-or a member of your family!

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

T

"Try" This Plan For Only $1

You can actuaIly "try" the plan under a special no strings "introductory" offer: For only $1.00, you can enroIl yourself and all eligible members of your familywithout having to see a company representative and without any red tape whatsoever -during this limited enroIlment period.

And, after you receive your policy, if Jor any reason you decide you don't want . it, you may return it within 10 days and your dollar will be promptly refunded!

Why You Need The Hospital Plan For Catholics In Addition To Ordinary Health Insurance

lBecause no matter what other insurance you now carry, it simply won't cover every•. thinr'! .

Think' fOr a moment-in these days of rising medical costs, would your present insurance cover all your hospital bills? AIl your surgical and in-hospital doctor's bills?

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

And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered, what about all your othe. expenses-the bills that keep piling up at home-the tremendous and costly upset to your budget, your reserves and your family life?

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

Without any extra cash protection in case of a hospital emergency, debts may be incurred, savings may be lost, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery can be seriously delayed.

How The Plan Protects You And Your Family

Now, with the unique protection of the Hospital Plan for Catholics you can avoid these worries-because you can be assured of extra cash income when you or any covered family member goes to the hospitalto help keep you out of debt, to help keep your savings intact, to speed recovery by easing your worried mind! No matter how large your family, no matter what your age or occupation and witliout any other qualifications whatsoever, you can choose any of the lour low-cost plans shown at·right.

In addition to the important cash benefits, you get all these valuable "extra" features: Your "Health-Bank Account"

Here's a wonderful benefit, no matter which plan yoti choose, almost like an extra "Bank Account." When your policy is issued, your insurance provides up to $10,000, $7,500 or $5,000-according to the Plan you choose. This is your "HealthBank Account." Then, every month your policy is in force, an amount equal 'to your regular monthly pr_emiu!TI (including your first month) is actuaIly added to your maximum! When you have claims, your benefits are siml?ly· subtracted from your "ac(Contin·ued on next page)

On all plans, your cash benefits are -paid from the very first day you enter the hospital, as long-and as many times-as you are hospitalized right up to the maximum (Aggregate of Benefits) of your plan.

IMPORTANT: Here is another real "plus"-if you have been told that anyone in your family is "uninsurable"! Even if one of your covered family members has suffered from chronic ailments in the past, the kinds of conditions that come back· again and again or are likely to recur, the Hospital Plan for Catholics will cover each family member for these pre·existing conditions after he has been protected by the policy for two years!

If you are the only parent living with your children, we suggest the ONE-PARENT FAMILY PLAN. This covers you and all eligible children living at home between 3 months of age and under 19. Under this plan, of course, furure additions are not included since no maternity benefit is provided in the ONE·PARENT FAMILY PLAN•.

15. Will my claims be handled promptly?

Do you possess a spirit of adventure? Have you desired .at times to conquer the world? Are you eager to share your ChriStian joy with the entire world? Are you so convinced. of the va~ue of your Faith that you wish everyone possessed thiS great gift?

In short, do you have a sense of mission?

The missionaries do! They seem to be caught up in the spirit of Christ's joy and concern for mankind. With enthusiaslm and love, these generous men and women carry the message of Christ to the far corners of the globe.

Often these missionaries' are beset by trials and difficulties.

Lack of funds, insufficient personnel, deficiency of educatio!'al and medical facilities place extraordinary demands o~ the faith, hope and trust of the missionary.

In 'one Indian diocese, the average Sunday collection does not exceed one dollar in any mission center. Ninety-five per cent of the Catholics there are farmers, and out of these seventyfive per cent never have enough to eat. A discouraging factor to the most zealous missionary!

In a certain area of this same diocese, a mission was started by a single priest. No lay assistants! No fellow priests! He .needed ' the help of the Sisters to instruct the women folk and to supervise the little children at the school. When the Sisters were finally able to come, the missionary did not have a house to shelter them. Se he decided to live in a hut and give his own house to the Sisters. What a remarkable example of dedication and sacrifice on the part of this priest!

Despite difficulties such as these, the missionary,...continues to trust in the goodness of God and the generosity of Catholics throughout the world. His sense of mission, his belief in the importance, of his work, carry him through the most severe trials.

Put your sense of mission to work. Sacrifice today so that a missionary can, c;ontinue his dedication of salvation and service to mankind.

The missionary gives up so MUCH. Can y~u give up a LITTLE? SALVATION AND SERVICE are the work of The Soc'iety for the Propagation of the Faith.

Pennsylvania Ordinary Defends Autonomy of Catholic Hospital ALLENTOWN (NC) - Bishop Joseph McShea of Allentown said here he cannot give his approval "to an approach to the hospital problem in the Allentown area which does not protect the integrity of Sacred Heart Hospital as a Churchrelated institution."

He said he is convinced the approach "is visionary and unrealistic from a financial point of view."

The proposed plan provides for a joint facility for Allentown Hospital and Sacred Heart Hospital. The plan claims it "will lead to dramatic improvement" of existing hospitals in the area, including the two which will also have joint facilities.

This plan was outlined in a brochure distributed by the Allentown Ah~ad campaign committee which launched its fund drive in 1966.

The boards of trustees at both hospitals approved the proposed merger and construction of joint facilities, and commissioned Ellwyn Spiker as administrator of the proposed joint AllentownSacred Heart Hospital Center.

Spiker began his duties in March after $6 million was raised in contributions and pledges for the proposed improvements.

Bishop McShea said it is "extremely difficult to foresee how it will be possible to finance the construction of a new facility and at the same time update the obsolete facilities at both Sacred Heart Hospital and Allentown Hospital with the funds'in hand.

The latter task was the original purpose of the Allentown Ahead campaign."

Spiker, however, denies this was the original purpose of the campaign.

Resigns From Board "Nowhere in the (campaign) brochure does it say that this money will be for the hospitals themselves. No funds were set aside for improvement at the individual hospitals," he said.

Rather, the emphasis 'is placed on the proposed joint facility to be constructed, he added.

Bishop McShea originally had given his approval (last June) to the fund drive with the reserva. tion that diocesan-owned Sacred Heart Hospital be assured of keeping its identity and autonomy.

The Sacred Heart Hospital board of trustees (in November) requested the bishop's resignation as hospital president, and suggested he become chairman of the board. However, the bishop in turn refused the offer and resigned from the board entirely.

Since his resignation he, had made no public statements on the matter until April 20. "1 now feel compelled as bishop of Allentown to state my views publi~ly," he said in announcing his dIsapproval of construction of the joint faCility.

Non-Existent Facility No dependable figures have been developed to indicate how

H{j)[j'j)@!i'!) el~1i'9vme~

much it would cost t.o updat.e the facilities at Sacred Heart and Allentown Hospitals, the bishop said. Nor is there eviaence of any projections which would indicate how many beds and what facilities will continue to be operated at each of these institutions, he continued.

"Two existing facilities which for over 50 years have earned community support are now to be deprived of needed funds, collected for them," he said. However, the inadequate funds "will be diverted to a non-existent third facility of enormous cost."

The bishop said the new hospital would cost $10 million.

It is regrettable, the bishop continued, "that differences of opinion have arisen concerning how we can best implement our objectives and make improved and additional hospital facilities of high quality available for our people."

Seek to Curb Block-Busting HILLSIDE (NC)--"-Attempts to encourage real-estate transactions here through either threats or fabrications will be punishable by fines of up to $200 or 30 days in jailor both.

The penalties are contained in an unusual municipal ordinance adopted by the Township Committee in an effort to put an end to "block-busting" real estate operations.

Hillside, a small community between Newark and Elizabeth, has become the target for quickbuck real estate operators preying on neighborhood fears as a result of disturqances in the other two municipalities.

In addition to facing municipal prosecution, offenders would be reported to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission and face a possible loss of license as a result of a recent court decision affirming'the right of any municipality to protect' itself from "unethical" real estate transactions.

The usual block-busting technique finds unscrupulous operators driving the price of real estate down by preying on the fears of homeowners. 'Once the block is "busted" through rapidfire sales to minority-group members at inflated prices, the pressure to sell is increased on those remaining, with even lower prices being offered.

Expresses Views . On Church Unity

.l

LONDON (NC)-The Anglican Primate, Archbishop Michael Ramsey of Canterbury, declared here: "I see the Pope as having a sort of providential leadership which in a united Church I would be prepared to follow."

The archbishop, speaking at an open discussion at London University's Catholic chaplain(.y, added: HI would never call the , Pope head of the Church, as I see Christ as the head."

Questions to the primate in a good-humored, relaxed, but nonetheless serious meeting, centered mainly around Dr. Ramsey's views on church unity.

When one student asked him if individuals should attend services of other religions, Archbishop Ramsey replied that Catholics would be welcome to , attend Anglican services and receive communion there, but he would remind such Catholics that receiving Anglican communion was contrary to the teaching o~ their own Church.

Asked about women priests, he said: "I thik that the time will come when both Anglicans and Catholics will have women as priests, but," he added laughingly, "we won't have them until you do."

Msgr. Albert Berube Looks Back on Fifty Years of Service. to God

By Patricia Francis

When the Rev. Msgr. Albert Berube celebrated the golden anniversary of his ordination Sunday, it was in St. Anthony's Church, New Bedford, where .he has served 32 years, the last 20 as pastor. To the monsignor, "this is home." But then, that is, the way he feels about the priesthood, too. Fifty years ago, when he was ordained in Charny, P.Q., by the late there his nephew went to re- pointed pastor of Holy Rosary Louis Cardinal Begin, a and cuperate. He served as an assist· where there were "just 110 famyoung Albert Berbue deliv- ant to his uncle during his con- ilies."

Still lafer he served as pastor ered his life into God's valescence and later served at hands. He has absolutely no regrets.

"I would start my life all over again doing the same things.

Sometimes you get discouraged, t-ut then you know God is taking care of you the proper way," he says.

"Everything in my life, God took care of. Why should I worry?"

To Msgr. Berube, these are not idle words.

Born in the United States of French-Cill1adian parentage, he has known disappointment and stood on the threshold of death.

His father "came to Detroit with the second wave of Cana· dian immigration," he recalls, and Albert Berube was born in Au Sable, Mich.

Then the family came to New Bedford where his father was employed in a textile mill. An uncle, the Rev. Antoine Berube, had served two years in Fall River and moved to New Bedford before his brother's family arrived.

Back to Canada Albert Berube attended St. Hyacinth's School, where many years later he was to serve as pastor. Then "the big strike" came and there was no work, so in 1905, the Berube family returned to Canada.

Seminarian Berube studied for the priesthood at Quebec Seminary, where officials decided "they wanted me to be a teacher. He got a taste of teaching at the seminary as an instructor in Greek, French literature and rhetoric.

The doors of further 'study opened to him with the award of a four-year scholarship for study in Europe. There he become ill and was forced to give up the university and return to the United States.

At the time, the Rev. Antoine Berube had a parish in Attleboro

St. George Church in Westport from May 1922 until December, when he was appointed an assistant at Notre Dame Church, Fall River, and director of the parish school.

Focal Point

"My vocation was teaching," he recalls. And in Fall River, ed-' ucation became a focal point of his religious life.

"I like children and I love teaching," he says, his voice telling of his strong emotion.

It was while he was at Notre Dame that Father Berube became instrumental in the estabIishment of Prevost High School.· "I had 90 students graduating from elementary school and there was no Catholic High School for them to go into, so I said to them, 'Let's pray to have a high school.'"

He preached that message to the children, to parishioners at Sunday Mass, to his pastor, the late Rev. Damase Robert.

Prayer accomplished the im'possible and the late James E. Cassidy, then bishop of the Fall River Diocese, agreed to the establishment of "one year" of high school.

The next year, Msgr. Berube recalls humorously, "we added another grade. The pastor was upset, because he said the bishop had said, 'one year.' But I said he meant one year at a time. That must have been it, because when we had the first graduation, Bishop Cassidy was very proud of the school."

In 1933, Bishop Cassidy appointed Father Berube administrator of St. Anthony's p'arish, where the pastor, the late Msgr.

Louis A. Marchand was ill. For six years, he served as administrator, until the appointment of the Rev. Victor O. Masse as pastor, and then stayed on as assistant for several years.

Then Father Berube was ap-

of St. Hyacinth for ·two years, until being named pastor of St. Anthony's in 1949.

Returning to the parish where he had built up the elementary school and opened the high school in 1940 was a "great joy" to Father Berube.

Then he started taking a long, hard look at St. Anthony's Church, where little work had been. done for many years.

"Things were falling apart."

Massive Job A complete program of renovations was conducted under his auspices - a massive job that transformed St. Anthony's into . one of the' most beautiful houses of worship in the state.

Msgr. Berube - elevated to that rank in 1952 - can talk by the hour about the beauties of the church in which he has spent so many hours of his life.

He recalls the days when the "church was filled" for novena devotions and for the special evening services conducted during the mOIJ.ths of May and·June.

Today, he admits sadly, "not as many are there." . But then, he acknowledges, "many things. have changed" since that wonderful day when he dedicated his life to God. "Some people say nothing is real any mote. Maybe that is why there is such unhappiness."

Although mellowed by the years, he takes sharp exception to those who express pity "for all you fellows who have lived for nothing."

Asked about the church's current struggles and dissensions, he pauses to reflect a moment: "Today, people look at things differently. Once you went into the religious life expecting it would be hard, but thinking it was worth whatever you gave. up."

Where Is Prayer?

"But the other day I saw an ad

for nuns in a magazine. 'Love, smile, dance, sing,' it said. I never saw a world about praying and prayer is the basic nourishment of a religious' spiritual life."

People "can stay in the world and help the world," he says. "A life of religion doesn't promise happiness to everyone, unless they have a real vocation."

What about enforced celibacy?

"When I was at Notre Dame I had 1,300 children. 1 have 1,200 here. Why do I need to be married to have children and take care of them and love them?

"There arc so many children who need love. I have cried with them and tried to comfort them."

As for his priesthood, "I love being a priest. I don't regret one minute. God has been very good to me." " He sits' behind the desk in his study-a gentle man and a kind one, looking back over the years and thanking his Creator for the "hard luck and good luck" ,bestowed on him.

Little Things And he recalls the little things that epitomize the life to which he was called, and for which he is grateful.

In 1953, while on a visit to Montreal to help arrange a reception for a visiting cardinal, Msgr. Berube was stricken by a heart attack." For days, doctors feared for his life. Finally, after a long recuperation he "came home" to St. Anthony's' Rectory.

One day as he walked slowly along the sidewalk near the rectory, a youngster from the parish school marched up to him.

"Hi," the little boy said.

"Hello, yourself," said the monsignor.

"Are you all better now?" the little boy asked.

"Oh, much better," Msgr. Berube replied. .

"I knew you'd be all right," the boy said, looking up at his pastor, "because we prayed for you to get better." ' Then the youngster opened his school bag and pulled out two graham crackers. He handed one to Msgr. Berube.

"Here, you'd better cat this.

It's good for you."

And the pastor and the young student walked slowly around the corner, each munching on a broken graham cracked resurrected from the bottom of a school bag.

Msgr. Berube's eyes were sparkling with what could. have been uns~ed tears ~f happmess.

That, . m part, IS what he means by "a life that is good."

~Ii\l ~®Ii'QiJ \{'@ tL®@r'lli LIMA (NC) - John Cardinal 'Heenan of Westminster said on arriving here that he wants "to learn, not to teach during my visit." He came to see the work of the Colurnban Fathers in Peru and in Chile.

BUFFALO (NC) - The policy making board of the newly formed Priests Association of Buffalo reaffirmed r despite a statement to the contrary by Auxiliary Bishop Bernard J.

The Catholic University pro'fessors, mostly from the school of theology, initiated a statement of dissent from Pope Paul's encyclical on birth control, Humanae Vitae.

A faculty board of inquiry which investigated the case declared that the professors' dissent from the Pope's teaching was proper and even necessary.

In Buffalo, however, the dissenting seminary teachers were transferred from their p<?sts.

Bishop McLaughlin, diocesan chancello.r, commented that the regulations of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), on which the C~tholic University decision was largely based, "are not exactly relevant to a theological school * * * as we have a Code of Canon Law which also must be taken into consideration."

Archbishop @f Cincdnnati Calls Bla~k M(QJlnlo*~$t@ hiltemp~li'ate

CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati in a letter. to priests of the archdiocese said the Black Manifesto is nothing short of a disaster, in view of the intemperate demands for monetary reparations made by a small group who are in no way representative of the total black community.

He referred to the demand of the National Black Economic Development Conference for $500 million in "reparations" from the nation's churches and synagogues.

At the same time the archbishop acknowledged that "any thoughtful person must recognize that peace and unity are the urgents demands of the moment Law School Seeks in our struggle to achieve interracial justice."

Charges Soviets Harass Re'ligious

TORONTO (NC)-It is estimated that 30 million obscene books and magazines come into Canada each year.

And Toronto is rated as one of the biggest centers for pornographic literature in North America.

"If there's ever a city that has been taken by surprise by this flood of books, it's Toronto," criminal lawyer Garry K.C. Braund said. "People have labeled Toronto, rightly or wrongly, as being the first or second center for pornography on the continent. California has been mentioned as the head and New York has 'honorable mention,' but Toronto is a real cesspool, not only for American trash coming in, but also from Denmark and Sweden."

And parents and teachers are beginning to worry. .

Easy Access Sister Marie Zelie, principal of Our. Lady of Fatima School in Scarborough, confiscated a number of these obscene magazines at school. She wrote letters to parents of 7th and 8th grade children, asking them to do something about it.

"Several parents have phoned to say how alarmed they are.

Children have access to this type of literature. Anybody can pick up this trash at certain stores," the nun said.

Mrs. Ruth Harrington, Toronto housewife, tried to get her corner druggist to stop selling such magazines, or place them out of reach of children.

"I said to him, 'You wouldn't put these on your coffee table at home for your children to look at, would you?' He said he wouldn't. I said then why are you then putting them in a place for my children to look at? He didn't have much to say," she related.

"If he is selling these now, what will it be like, two to five years from now?" she asked.

John Diefenbaker, former prime minister of Canada, recently told a religious conference here that churches must unite to fight "a flood of filth and obscenity" reaching the Canadian public.

He said Canada has no effective law against obscenity, and filth "virtually enjoys an open season."

"I think we are all a little bit like ostriches." Mrs. Alice Durst, mother of nine, said. "If we don't look at it, we think it will go away. Parents see so much of it around that they don't know where to start. Even innocentlooking pocketbooks can curl your hair. We housewives don't like to see an increase of this type of magazine, but we all feel a little bit futile. Many housewives like me never stop to look at these books, and if we did, we would feel embarrassed."

About eight years ago, the Catholic Women's League of the Toronto archdiocese made an attempt to stop the smut traffic.

Mrs. Evelyn Markle, president at that time, recalled: "When I think back to those days, we were complaining about that which is comparatively mild today. Now it's just nauseating."

Emphasi%e Need for More Aid to Hungry Valu·e of Present Food Coupons Inadequate WASHINGTON (NC) - "The policy of this government should clearly state that no person shall be denied an adequate diet for reason of poverty."

This declar.ation was delivered to the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee hearing testimony on proposals to modify the Food Stamp Act of 1969.

Making the declaration was Father John McCarthy, director, Division for Poverty, Social Development, United States Catholic Conference. He was speaking for USCC, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and the National Council of Churches.

"The real test of any nation's commitments," Father McCarthy said, "lies not in its rhetoric but in its budget. A reformed food stamp program must be adequately funded."

Father McCarthy said it is "morally outrageous ':' * * that hunger and malnutrition exist in this country needlessly.

"For the religious person," he said, "the issue of hunger and malnutrition existing in a land of plenty is primarily a moral issue."

He said it is the duty of the just man to care for the needs of those more unfortunate than he and that "wealth is seen not as a private preserve; rather it is to be shared for the betterment of all."

National Standards Father McCarthy cited the government's food stamp program as one of the means to help improve the diets of people with inadequate incomes.

The food stamp' program, he suggested, "ought to have national eligibility standards," and ~allowances would have to be made for regional variations in the cost-of-Iiving, of course."

Father McCarthy said the three groups he was represent-

ing "recommend that the law require that coupons be issued at least twice a month, and that every area have several centers of distribution easily accessible.

"Certification and issuance procedure for food stamps, Father McCarthy said, ought to be as simple and flexible as pos:;ible in order to reach and serve those in need."

Better Guideline One of the most serious inadequacies of the present program.

Father McCarthy said, is the value of food coupons.

Even with the bonus coupons," he said, "most recipients still cannot afford to purchase a nutritionally adequate diet."

He noted that President Nixon recommended that all recipients receive allotments of $100 per month. But a better guideline, he suggested, would be the Agricul-

ture Department's Low Cost Food Plan, which estimates that $1,440 a year is necessary for a family of four to purchase a nutritionally adequate diet.

"All recipients of food stamps should receive a total amount of coupons adequate to 'the purchase of such a diet, regardless of the purchase price they pay," Father McCarthy said. "To provide less would mock the purposes of the program."

He further suggested that no participating household should pay more than 25 per cent of its income for the stamps.

CHICAGO (NC)-Three lithuanian priests are being harassed

by Soviet authorities because of . their signatures on a petition for more Lithuanian priests, according to exiled Auxiliary Bishop Vincent Brizgys of Kaunas, Lithuania.

Bishop Brizgys, who resides here, said: "Lithuania now has so few priests that even old and invalid priests are being pressed into service for pastoral work."

This, he explained, is because Soviet authorities permit only five new priests to 1le ordained a year, while 30 priests die annuaHy. In an effort to correct this sllortage, a group of priests signed a petition addressed to government authorities in Moscow asking that more prbsts be permitted ordination in lithuania. Bishop' Brizgys continued.

There were sufficient candidates desiring to enroll in the only remaining Lithuanian seminary at Kaunas, he said.

Three priests took the petition to Moscow, the exiled bishop continued, and "Moscow's reply was this." One of the priests is being called to trial for "alleged criticism of Soviet authorities" and tile other two are forbidden to exercise their priestly duties, the bishop reported.

They have been given 30 days to find civilian jobs or they will be taken to a concentration camp for an indefinite period., Bishop Brizgys said.

Pitcher Has 6-2 Record

Brown Soph Outstanding High School Athlete As a senior, Bullet Bob compiled an impressive 10-4 record and led the Indians to their first Capeway Conference Cdampionship and into the state competition.

During that memorable year, Thorley captured headlines by pitching the first no-hitter in Capeway history, a 2-0 gem over Wareham High.

In 94 innings of flame-throwing, the Dartmouth ace struck out 117 and allowed only 24 earned runs.

He was just as impressive with the bat, leading Dartmouth in hitting (.371), in runs scored (14) and was second in runs batted in with 12. On the bases he was another threat, leading the club in total thefts.

In addition to baseball, Thprley was also a fine running back on the Indian football team. But his sport was baseball.

As a freshman on the Bruins' squad, Bob had an incredible 0.00 ERA in 19 complete innings of, pitching. In that time he allowed only six hits, walked three and fanned 22.

With the bat, Thorley compiled a .361 batting average and was a double threat, with the bat and on the mound, with Westport of the American Legion.

Thorley is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Franci3 Thorley, 207 Hixville Road, North Dartmouth and is an Economics Major.

Says Reds P[J'@tect Religious fre~dom BOB THORLEY

In what was perhaps his finest outing of the year, Thorley pitched 11 strong innings against George Washington University in which he allowed one earned run, struck out nine and walked only two although he did not figure in the decision.

Joe White, assistant director of sports information at the Bruin school, rates Thorley one of the finest prospects in many years. .

Thorley's success at Brown should come as no surprise to Dartmouth High School followers.

BONN (NC)-A German-language weekly in Budapest has claimed that the Hungarian communist regime is not only tolerant. of religion but that it also . seeks to incorporate the "religious working masses" in the country's efforts to develop its socialist life.

An article on "Marxists and Catholics in the Socialist State" in the Hungarian weekly Budapester Rundschau said that the government guarantees the free exercise of religion and at the same time is "careful" that freedom of conscience for non-religious citizens is not violated.
