Asian Church Faces Making of History PARIS (NC)-When Pope Paul VI goes out again to the Far East this Fall, a message from the nearby Asian continent will surely grow insistent for him: Asia is where history is being made-but the Church may be out of step with that history.

Asians can point out to the papal traveler to the Philippines and Australia that they now comprise 56 per cent of the world's people. Perhaps more significantly, they can say that more than half of all Asians are now less than 20 years old, and

that this is a number greater than the combined overall populations of North and South America and Africa.

They could tell Pope )'aul that the Church' has had pioneers in Asia, but they have been pioneers whose work was sabotaged by absurd quarrels about Chinese rites, Indian rites, by an unrestrained and anti-evangelical Westernism whose aftermath is still a great burden today.

Approve Faster Annulme.nt Steps for UeS. Catholics WASHINGTON (NC) - Marriage annulment requests by Roman Catholics in the United States will be handled more than twice as fast under 23 new steps approved by the Vatican.

The National Conference of Catholic Bishops, which announced Rome's approval, had asked for the new norms in or· der to make eight months' work, or less, out of what often has taken two years or more.

The slow pace at which diocesan marriage tribunals work has for years caused anguish and anger for many Catholics and much criticism from outside the Church. .

Experts in both civil and can· on (church) law have complained about the way Church tribunals handle evidence and treat the petitioner's lawyer. Church legal procedures have tended to be weighted on the side of preserving marriage at any cost, even if it meant minimalizing the peti-

Vermont to Test Family Aid Plan WASHINGTON (NC) - The Nixon administration has signed a $2.3 million contract with the state of Vermont to develop a model plan for conversion of existing state welfare systems to the President's proposed family assistance plan.

This move to test the proposed federally based family assistance measure is expected to prod the U.S. Senate to act on the welfare reform bill now before its finance committee.

Under contract, Vermont will also test the proposal by expanding plans for children's day care centers and parents' job training facilities.

Sometimes delays have been caused by understaffed and overworked diocesan tribunals or a lack of expert tribunal personnel. . Catholic marriage courts in' the United States had 1,554 cases pending in 1968, the most recent year for which figures were tabulated, according to a survey by the Canon Law Society of America.

Sr. Paul, a member of the Dominican Sisters of Charity of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Tours, has been catalogued as the Texas version of Television's Sister Bertille of "Flying Nun" fame because Sr. Paul's garments also flapped in the breeze as her truck tours the Raymondville section of the Brownsville diocese.

Blacks Disagree on Motivation For Getting College ,Education

World Agriculture About To Undergo Revolution THE HAGUE (NC)-A startling new_ development in plant genetics at the Jesuit-operated college of agriculture of Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines, promises ,to revolutionize agriculture throughthe world.

The new method of plant breeding could produce results even more phenomenal than the recent development iri the Philippines' of so-called "miracle" rice varieties which now are beginning to turn traditionally 'food-short tropical lands into food-export 'countries.

The advance in genetics offering new hope to the hungry was outlined in an interview at the Second World Food Congress here by Brooklyn-born Father William F. Masterson, S.J., founder and director of Xavier's college of agriculture, who 'has been in the Philippines for 37 years. The research at Xavier is underwritten by President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines and by Catholic Relief Services in the United States.

Chemistry Basically, the discovery is' a method to effect the transfer of the qualities of one seed to another through a chemical bath process. The process apparently holds a newly-discovered key to plant growth. It can, for exampIe" dwarf rice, or make it larger.

Rice harvests' have increased four or five times the normal yield with the new process, Father Masterson reported. At

the same time, the rice's protein content has jumped up' to 50 per cent. Thus the new method may also help overcome: a major problem in hungry lands-protein deficiency. ' Time But that's not all. The process reduces the time b.:tween planting and harvesting by about 25 per cent. "And this s~ems to apply to anything, from ,rice and sorghums to cucumbers," the Jesuit priest said.

FR. RYWALSKI. O.F.M. Cap.

Minister General Of Capuchins The Capuchin-Franciscans, the third largest Religious Order in the Church with more than 15,000 'members throughout the world, have elected a new Minister, General to serve, the Order for the next six years. He is the Most Rev. Paschal Conrad Rywalski, O.F.M. Cap. who was born of Polish parents in Switzerland in 1911.

Fr. Rywalski was ordained in 1936. He obtained a licentiate in philosophy. and a doctorate in French Letters from the University of Freiburg. He taught several years at the Capuchin College in Stans, Switzerland.

He left that position to take up an experimental apostolate in Geneva. For six years he lived with a small'group of Capuchins in a tentment house in a 'crowded area of the city. During that time he visited homes, canvassed the neighborhood and attempted to open up dialogue with the people who had become disenchanted with the Church and the Christian way of life.

He worked in cooperation with parish priests of the area to re-open the spiritual values of Christianity to people who had lost their faith and had given up the practice of their religion.

The Capuchins came to the United States in 1632. Today there are more than 1800 Capuchins working here. The Province of St. Mary has more than 350 members working throughout New York and New England.

NEW YORK (NC)-A generation gap in the black community, based on disagreement of motives for getting a college education. is seen in published articles of two black m'en here.

The pair-who survived the same ghetto a generation apartagreed that blacks must be educated. but disagreed as to reasons why as they described their struggles to get through Manhattan College in tt)e Bronx, N.Y. Bill LUl:as, a 1952 graduate who is now sheriff of Wayne County,' Mich., rejected t~e notion of today's students who charge that his older generation of blacks was more interested in getting an education for personal gain than alleviating ghetto ills.

Clarencce Jones, who will graduate from Manhattan in December, refuted most of the sheriff's reasons for wanting to succeed and even many of his accomplishments. Jones claimed that by spurning personal ambition as a goal he typifies his generation's outlook toward education. Jones and Lucas issued their statements in the Summer edition of the Manhattan College Magazine.

Personal, Group Goals Lucas, who was teacher, policeman, welfare Investigator and a civil rights attorney under the late U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy before becoming sheriff last year, said he admired the "younger generation's concern and their selflessness." He said. however, he does not believe "one can separate individual and group goals so easily."

He added that "we oldtimers were conscious of our responsibilities and always, have been.

We had t9 be ambitious and drive hard, never certain that there would be a pot at the end of the rainbow."

Lucas, who was 'raised by an aunt and enrolled at Manhattan on a track scholarship, said if he were attending college today it would be difficult to determine

C~mpus

Unrest

"what was personal and what was best for the black race."

'Racist System' To Jones, who flunked out of Manhattan in 1964 and became an Army Paratrooper before readmission, education "leads only to continued exploitation of the' blacks and other oppressed groups."

While LUl:as chose to join the sU-l:alled system and work fro'm the inside, Jones b€:came politil:ally active in the Black Panthers and other groups and returned to Manhattan to attempt to affeet the system from a position on the fringe.

"Black had to come to Manhattan. Black culture had to be exposed for all its achievements and beauty. The whites needed it, brought here," claimed Jones.

"It is time for whites to stop wasting time defending their beliefs. Sending a check to the NAACP or having black friends doesn't prevent racism. Instead," said Jones, "they should look at their political, and business actions, and non-actions. These are invariably aimed at perpetuation of the system. And, brother that's a racist system."

Generation in Middle Calls Tune for Others, NEW YORK (NC) - "Only about· one-fourth of the people in this country are between the , ages of 40 and 65, yet they indisputedly call the tune for _the other 'three-fourths," said a contributor to a new book published here.

In his essay in "Generation in the Middle," a 100-page book published by Blue Cross, Clifford B. Hicks, 49, an editor of Pupular Mechanics magazine for 25 years, wrote: "In government, in business, in the world of entertainment,_in statesmanship: in all these segments of society, middle-agers make most of the basic decisions, earn most of the money, pay more of the taxes and ironically find themselves, in many cases, subsidizing the revolt of the Nows."

Another contributor, free-lance writer Ted J. Rakstis, pointed out that middle-aged Americans: -Earn mofe than half the nation's income; -Hold more than 40 per cent of the stock in U. S. corporations; -Account for 40 per cent of the female labor force; -Vote more than any other age group: 75 per cent of the middle-aged voted in the last national election, as compared with 63 per cent of those aged 25-34.

Seeking to' answer the question "What is middle age?" Hicks observed: "The flight of years is no particular guide. Strictly in terms of his professional life, a Johnny Unitas, hurling a desperation pass with a stiffening arm, is an old man at 37. A 50year- old presidential candidate is a boy, and a Pope is young at 60."

Another contributor, author Barbara Fried, said, "Middle age isn't what it used to be, and most of it is better. The fact that we can expect'to live healthier lives and die later than previous generations, means that we grow 'old' at a later chronological age.

Life has been stretched out in the middle for us.

Pian Mausoleum For See Cuty His. Excellency, Bishop James L. Connolly, has announced that a su'rvey will soon be conducted of all Catholic families in the Fall River area. He explained that the purpose of the survey is to determine the present and future needs of our families for cemetery property.

"I am encouraging all of the families in Fall River to plan their needs in advance and not leave such an important and permanent decision to the last minute," Bishop Connolly stated.

"I am also pleased to announce that a beautifui mausoleum facility will be erected in Notre Dame Cemetery. The decision to make this facility available comes as a result of requests from many CathoDic families for this method 'of burial.

"It is felt that a mausolem such as the one to be built in Notre Dame Cemetery will be a beautiful and inspiring building containing chapel facilities for the convenience and comfort of the bereaved.

"Regardless of your decision to act now or later, it would be to your benefit to be informed and obtain all relevant information. The Catholic Cemetery also needs to plan to have adequate facilities to meet your, demands," Bishop Connolly concluded.

A product of St. Louis de France Parish, Swansea, she served as a member of St. Anne's Hospital Community, Fall River for almost five years.

In June of 1969, she -gradu: ated from Boston College School of Nursing with a bachelor of science degree and served on the operating room staff of the Fall River hospital until her departure in January.

"This lengthened middle age is so recent a phenomenon, how· ever, that we don't yet understand all it 'implies either for in· dividuals or society in general."

Former Taunton Pastor Dies 'Word has been received from Terceira, Azores of the death in June of Rev. Manuel M. Couto, former 'pastor of St. Anthony Parish, Taunton.

After coming to the Diocese of Fall River, he served for a period as assistant at the Taunton church and in 1928, was named pastor of the parish.

He remained in that assignment until 1944 when he retired because of ill health and returned to his native city.

Father Couto was the only English speaking priest on the Island and during the period that the United States Air Force had an air base on the Azorean island, he served as chaplain to the air forct: personn'el.

Asian Church Continued from Page One stantini, for one, in his work "Reform of the Mission in the 20th Century," wrote lucidly about the human narrowness of churchmen in high positions, to whom the failure to evangelize Asia can be attributed in part.

Nevertheless, the efforts and the heroism of the missionaries have produced results that are not negligible. Although it is a tiny minority in Asia-46 million Catholics in a population of 1.85 billion - the Church is present everywh~rc. Since the Second Vatican Council, it has even been constitutionally established there, with 14 bishops' conferences that are more and more composed of Asians.

But the Church in Asia is living in conditions that are generally difficult and quite different from one·country to another.

With the exception of the Philippines, where it is the religion of 80 per cent of the population, Catholicism is often regarded as a religion of foreigners.

It took the impetus of the Second Vatican Council to push the beginning of Indianizing, Japanizing, Vietnamizing, etc. the liturgy, to stop igl}oring in seminaries the cultural riches of the varied civilizations of each country, to become interested, otherwise than negatively, in the great religious currents of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam.

Church 6Wealth' VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI said that although some persons attribute "f a b u lou s wealth" to the Church, in reality the Church's financial means are "often insufficient for the modest and legitimate n~eds of ordinary life of many clergy and Religious, as well as many welfare and pastoral institutions."

"We are middle-aged now for 30 rather than 15 years, and 'for the first time we are able to see that when middle age is not short, it is actually as distinct a stage in human development as childhood or youth.

Oppose Priests

Continued from Page One Columbia magazine, official Knights of Columbus monthly.

In a signed editorial in the JUly issue of Columbia, Von Feldt characterized priests running for office as "a precarious experiment fraught with many dangers for the priesthood and the Church."

Father Lyons said in the current issue of Twin Circle that campaigning priests "should heed the admonition of the U.S. bishops and withdraw from the race." He was referring to a report adopted at the bishops' recent San Francisco meeting which included a section urging bishops to discourage priests from running for office.

'Full Time Congressman' If these priests do not withdraw, the Twin Circle editor said, "Catholic voters should solve the problem for the bishops by refusing to vote for any priests who tries to drag the priesthood into politics."

Father Lyons' editorial was particularly critical of two Boston priests-Father F. Robert Drinan, S.J., running for the third congressional district seat, and Father John White, seeking the ninth district seat.

"Father Drinan has said that if he is elected' he will work full' time at being a congressman," Father Lyons said. "If that is what he wants, he should

discard his Roman collar during the campaign."

The Twin Circle editor claimed Father White has announced he will call for the impeachment of President Nixon and VicePresident Agnew, seek amnesty for imprisoned draft evaders and Black Panther militants, and "surrender South Vietnam to the communists." Father Lyons said Father White is "'a good example of the shame being brought on the Church by priests trying to act like politicians."

Key Issue Columbia editor Von Feldt said the key issue is not churchstate separation. "Ordination should not deny to anyone civic rights other citizens enjoy," he said. "nor should it give him any civic privileges which other citizens do not have."

The problem arises, he said, in determining how a priest can best exercise the powers and responsibilities given him at ordination. "The centuries-old experience of the Church has prompted it to take a dim view of priests entering political life," Von Feldt said.

The Columbia editor lamented the entry of priests into politics "at a time when great emphasis is placed on the shortage of priests for work related entirely to the spread of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments."

Medical Groups Ask Rep.lacement For Medicaid

THE ANCHO.R-Diocese of Fall Ri.ver-Thurs., July 2, 1970

Ca.nadian Laity'De-lays Formation o'f Council OTTAWA (NC)-The formation of a national pastoral council for Canada's 8.7 million Catholics, two-thirds of them Frenchspeaking, has run into a laitycaused delay over its shape and form.

Laymen blew the whistle when they began to ask: Will it be -.a ·federation of diocesan councils? Or will it be strictly national, dealing with national problems, while leaving' the dioceses to handle their own hassles?

According to Archbishop Joseph-Aurele Plourde, 55, the renewalist president of the Canadian Catholic Conference, a 41member "steering committee for a Canadian Pastoral Council" did a pretty coresponsible thing when it voted at a retreat house near here last November to delay for another three years formation of a council.

Laity, religious, priests and bishops of both the English and' French sectors attended. They elected an II-member executive committee to meet regularlyand raise its own funds-to look into the council idea more fully during this period.

Will of People . "It was the will of the lay people, not the bishops, that delayed it," Archbishop Plourd.e told NC News during an interview about the state of the Canadian church..

"Usually it's the opposite," the French-Canadian prelate added with a smile.

The problems encountered by the Canadians in searching. a formula for such a council are interesting to the American vis-

Promises School Rights Drive'

itor. Right now, some of ~he same questions confront the steering committee of the U. S. Catholic Conference advisory council,. which, has been mandated . to study the feasibility of a national pastoral councH in 'the United States.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The predominantly black National Medical Association has for the first time joined forces with the American Medical Association to replace Medicaid program.

Before a Senate Finance Subcommittee, presidents from both . groups urged in place of Medicaid' a federally-subsidized health . insurance program providing: A federal certificate for each low income individual to buy a "qualified and comprehensive" health. insurance policy at government expense.

Federal tax credits, on a sliding scale based on income tax )ilayments, to help people with moderate or higher-incomes buy health plans. As an example, a 73 per cent credit toward buying health insurance would go to a family of four with a $6;500 income and a $493 income tax bill.

Church Offocials Cancel '!Procession MONTEVIDEO (NC)-ehurch leaders canceled the traditional Corpus Christi procession here in Uruguay because police refused permission for it to travel the main streets and because they wanted to see the texts of hymns and prayers before the event.

Under a state of emergency declared last year, all demonstrations are prohibited. Two years ago, when the cOilntry was under a similar- state, the Church voluntarily suspended the Corpus Christi procession.

It was held last year.

The American Medical Association, representing 223,000 doctors, has proposed this "Medicredit" plan in the past!, but never. with the backing of the National Medical Association which represents 6,000 doctors.

The groups' joint proposal was much like one President Nixon recently proposed as a substitute for the present Medicaid help for low income persons.

The President said he will submit a detailed plan in January to either buy health insurance or subsidize it, on a sliding scale.

This would affect some five to six million families with incomes below $5,620.

City Schools lease C~osed Academy DUBUQUE '(NC) Public school officials here will lease sp3ce and equipment 'in the closed Academy of the Visitation to provide space for more than 650 pJrochial school students in a shared-time instruction program.

The academy, a girls school conducted by Visitation nuns here for 99 years, closed this year because parents of the 200 students indicated they were unable to pay a tuition hike to maintain operations. Tuition was $250 a year, but it was estimated an increase to a $400 minimum would be necessary to continue.

The Dubuque Community School District agreed to lease academic sections of the academy for $60,000 a year, and rent specialized equipment for an additional $6,000.

The space will be used as a junior high school annex, where the' 650 seventh and eighth graders from three parishes will take part in a shared time program in English, science, mathematics, art, crafts and music.

Prelate Asserts Spirituality Key To Renewal

THE ANCHORThurs., ,July 2,

Summer School Of Spirituality

DAYTON (NC)-A reminder that religious renewal grows from spirituality and a reaffirmation of the value of religious life in the modern world marked Archbishop Luigi Raimondi's address to delegates at the 13th annual assembly of the Congregation of Major Superiors of Men here.

Archbishop Raimondi, apostolic delegate to the U.S., spoke to some 200 superiors of men's religious communities, representing more than 35,000 U.S. priests and brothers.

Outlining the teaching of the Second Vatican Council on the role of the liturgy, the archbishop quoted: B,slc Realities "'From the liturgy, therefore, and especially from the Euchar'ist, as from a fountain, grace is channeled into us; and the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God, to which all other activities of the Church are directeo as towards their goal, are most powerfully achieved.~ " The archbishop emphasized that "these basic realities must never be blurred or obscured," no mattter how urgent or im~ portant other needs might be.

"The Fathers of the council did not ignore the griefs, the anxieties, the inequities and the injustices, nor all the oother needs that afflict individuals and nations, nor the obligations of the' followers of Christ to echo them in their hearts," Archbishop Raimondi continued.

Asks Confidence "Yet," he added, "the Church knows full well that 'only' God, who created' man to His own image and ransomed him from sin, provides a fully adequate answer to all the problems of the human race.' " "Regarding religious, while the council urges the renewal and adaptation necessary to face the challenge presented by the contemporary conditions of the world and the needs of the Church, it clearly states that 'even the most desirable changes made on behalf of contemporary needs will fail of their purpose unless a renewal of spirit gives life to them.'''

Warning that renewal involved risks and dangers, the delegate told the superiors to have confidence. Renewal is a challenge, he said, "that the Church and religious must face, humbly recognizing human limitations and failures, yet confiden~ in the Holy Spirit's guid. ance of the Church."

GREAT FALLS (NC)-Montana's one-year state residency requirement for welfare programs cannot be enforced by either state or county, according to a ruling issued here by District Judge Paul T. Hatfield.

Hatfield said the state residency requirement violates the 14th amendment of the U. S. constitution. His ruling is expected to be tested before the U. S. Supreme Court.

Hatfield's order said a county ,can still mElintan a one-year residency requirement before the county has to lPay its proportionate share oil general relief.

The judge's order, in effect, places the burden of genera! relief payments on the st~te and relieves the county of responsibility to pay general relief except for persons who have lived in the county for more than one year.

If the unborn life is no longer sacred, what is,' then?

Pass abortion and you open the door to euthanasia. If the life of the unborn child has no right, these same promoters will walk into the other rooms of the living and cry out one general axiom "if you cannot contribute to the betterment of the world, then elimination is the only solution."

Leisure and the Christian

CORK (NC) - Cardinal William Conway of Armagh, Ireland, defended general devotional practices within the Church which he said are considered by many Catholics today as outmoded.

Speaking at this city's 40· year-old annual Corpus Christi procession, the cardinal said that while the devotional life of the Church must, change ~ith the times, "it would be a great pity" to seek to eliminate "everything that might not suit the taste of a fastidious middle-class person."

The cardinal's presence here marked the first time a cardinal had attended the local Corpus Christi ceremonies.

The Cardinal stressed that there is a religious dimension in human life which escapes the net of purely rational analysisa deep-seated yearning to establish contact with' the transcendental which is not satisfied with an over-rationalized religious life He added that when religion fails to provide such a need "people inevitably seek it elsewhere, as is happening in some sophisticated Western countries.~' ' "More important than this consideration, however," he said, ;'is the fact that in the Catholic faith all this is grounded in divine realities." He cited the Mass as not just a memorial service but a sacred meal, a priest not as a presiding officer at a community assembly but a "person invested on the day of his ordination with sacred and supernatural powers without the exercise of which the Mass would not be a Mass."

Americans as a whole enjoy-or rathee, endure-more leisure time than perhaps any large nation of people in human history. The American worker has the shortest week, longer vacations, and more frequent holidays than the average worker in any other country imaginable.

It is tragic, yet true, that the amount of leisure tim'e acquired by men often far surpasses their capacity for eI1joying it. Retirement can be one of the most traumatic of life's challenges. Even a two-week vacation or a long weekend causes uneasiness and tension in many families.

U.S. government aid has been requested in the problem.

B. F. Spohrer, Peruvian Airlines vice-president, and Charles P. Miller of the OrganizatiQn of American States appealed to President Nixon for U.S. assistance.

"Commercial airlines have transported these relief supplies, continuously but the volume of supplies now has outrun the airlines' capacity," Spohrer said in a telegram to President Nixon.

"Peruvian Airlines warehouse in Los Angeles is now holding 800,000 pounds of foods, medicines, clothing and blankets.

The Peruvian Airlines warehouse in Miami is holding 150,000 pounds of relief supplies and many additional tons are presently enroute to Miami," he added in the request. for aid.

Ready to Go Miller commented: "The arch diocese of Miami Catholic Charities Bureau has 200 perfectly good, donated hospital beds sitting in Miami ready to go to Peru where they are needed."

Shortly after the 'quake occured, Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll issued an appeal for relief supplies. Msgr. Bryan O. Walsh, co-chairman of the local relief committee, ' estimated some 400,000 pounds of supplies are in Miami awaiting shipment, with more donations arrfving daily.

Hit Abortion TOKYO (NC)-Nearly nine of 10 Japanese women are opposed to abortion, according to public opinon survey conducted by the office of Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, The country's abortion law, enacted in 1948 during the U. S. occupation and amended in 1949 and 1952, legalizes abortion almost on demand. There are more than two million abortions yearly in Japan, it is estimated most of them legal and state-paid.

Earlier this year, Prime Minister Sato told the Japanese parliament that respect for life is the foundation of the nation and is an even graver reason for opposition to abortion than the need to maintain a labor force for the Cuture or the danger of Japan's disappearance.

"Whether a life has already been born, or whether it still exists as a fetus, our way of thinking about that life must be one of profound respect," he said.

Japan, with a population of lOlA million, is the seventh largest country in the world and is one of the most densely populated, averaging 708 persons per square mile. Its birth rate is 19 per 1,000 persons.

The United States, by comparison, has a population density of 55.7 and a birth rate of 1704.

By Marilyn amll Joseph ]Roderick, Two or three years ago we bought a little plant named Potentilla Miss Wilmot for the rock garden. We bought it through a catalog because we had heard very favorable things about the potentillas but we were disappointed when it arrived. It looked like a i strawberry plant.

This year Miss Wilmot has been pushing up bloom constantly. It is no larger than a strawberry plant and has very fragile strawberry-like leaves.

say) when we can get them for $12.95?" This friendly spiel was delivered to me by a very pleasant dark-haired girl standing in front of me in line.

She went on to ask didn't I think that she should take two of these items seeing that they were such a "buy" and that she really could get use out of them on her vacation. Truly I think she was trying to convince herself of this fact but I did help ease her conscience by agreeing with her. How could I disagree? I was also buying one of these items.

Right Fit

house have found out that the place that they're going to have to do a little conserving is in the clothing department.

This is fine except women are women and they love beautiful things. If you can't afford the luxury items that make a wardrobe a little bit special you have a few alternatives-you can do without them (this becomes depressing); you can sew them yourself (this requires time), or you can go bargain hunting (this requires stamina).

Push and Shove If YOil do feel called upon to undertake the third alternative I must caution you to do this with tongue in cheek and a firm hold upon your attitude of love your fellow man.

In the case of some really tremendous' bargains you may find that you will have to keep reminding yourself. of the latter quite frequently as those around you are forgetting it. In fact there are moments you could compare their behavior to the barbaric hordes; and if you're not careful you could find yourself joining the crowd, as it becomes very contagious to push, shove and snarl at the person next to you.

Now if you take it all in a spirit of fun you can keep your equilibrium during a bargainhunting spree. In fact you can actually develop a feeling of camaraderie with your fellow shopper.

"Honey, these are so goodlooking that you can wear them

Archdiocese Plans Education Self-Study WASHINGTON (NC) - A selfstudy of education in its broadest sense has been set here by the Washington archdiocese.

The study, emphasizing participation on the grass-roots level, is one of the largest of its kind undertaken by any U.S. diocese, according to spokesmen for the Washington-based research center which designed the study.

Father Gervase Beyer, O.F.M., Conv., project director with Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate here, said the yearlong study will involve coordinated efforts on the parish, regional and archdiocesan level.

Msgr. D. Joseph Corbett, pastor of Holy Name Parish here and archdiocesan coordinator of the, project, said the "total educational mission of the archdiocese" will be probed.

Meanwhile a slender woman next to me was trying to tryon a housecoat while balancing her pocketbook and coat on her knees and keep her place in line -not an easy feat.

As my friend in line and I helped her with her juggling act we all agreed that the fewer clothes one wears and the fewer items one carries during a bout in a bargain basement the better able one is to make sure that the bargain really fits.

There's nothing worse than a marvelous buy that you have to give to your girlfriend because it "looked" as if it would fit.

When you finally do emerge with your purchase from one of these excursions you are exhausted . but quite exhilarated.

The pioneer women must have felt this way after a particularly hazardous ride across the plains.

Vietnam War Angers, Alters Students NEW YORK (NC)-Two Swarthmore College psychologists announced here that their survey of some 5,000 students across the country indicates that the war in Vietnam has changed students' attitudes towards religion, parents and politics.

Anger over the war, Kenneth and Mary Gergen found, affected from 60 to 70 per cent of the students studied. One student in three reported that the war had caused them to develop negative opinions about religion and also adverse\y affected their relationships with their parents.

About half of the students interviewed said they had demonstrated against the war. At the same time, the two researchers said, an "overwhelming majority" of students placed high value on traditional American ideals and expressed strong positive feelings about the Constitution and . the Bill of Rights.

Says Racism Drives Blacks From Church WASHINGTON (NC) - Young black. Catholics are leaving the Church in large numbers, a survey released here indicated, and they are leaving for one reason: the Catholic Church in Americd is a "white racist institution."

"There is no disagreement among black Catholics I consulted," researcher William D. Broderick reported, "over the fact that great numbers are leaving. and that the reason is what they see as the Church's ambivalence or passivity on race."

WASHINGTON' (NC) - Residents. on federal installationsmilitary bas~s, hospitals, etc.may not be denied the right to vote in state and local elections following a Supreme Court decision here ordering Maryland to allow residents of the National Institutes of Health to vote in the state.

The finding upholds a ruling handed down in a Baltimore federal court in January. 1969, on a suit brought by 12 residents of the institutes in Bethesda, Md. The Baltimore panel ruled that Maryland treats institute residents so much like residents of the state that it would be a violation of the 14th amendment to forbid them to vote.

The high court held through Justice Thurgood Marshall that institute residents have an equal interest in state affairs with other inhabitants of Maryland.

Justice Marshall's decision noted that residents pay state taxes, send their children to state schools and are subject to the state courts. As a result the court ruled they are entitled to the vote.

"We either violate the federal law or we face this kind of problem."

Several key employes were among the 35 men who walked off their jobs. In the slowdown caused by the walkout, some 500 people were suspended from work and several of the plant's sections had to' halt operation路s.

Team Attacks Drug Abuse CAMDEN (NC)-A two-man crusade against drug abuse is continuing here by a doctorpriest team working privately as they. wait' for the county's drug abuse center to become functional.

In the past two years Father Edward J. Walsh and Dr. 'Charles E. Brimm, a general practitioner, have treated without government funds more than a hundred drug addicts.

In addition to operating their private clinic, the two are on the advisory board of the Camden County Drug Abuse Center which has been in existence since September but has yet to treat its first patient.

The county center was funded last Fall by the Camden County governing board which provided $20,000 to go with the state's $60,000 share. Diff,iculties in getting the program started have been due to problems in staffing to meet the requirements of the board.

,Overturns Claims Commission Ruling WASHINGTON (NC) -The U.S. Court of Claims here overturned an Indian Claims Commission ruling to decide that Indian tribes receiving overdue payment for land taken by the federal government may .also be charged for services rendered by the government.

Acting in a case concerning Oklahoma's Delaware Indians, the court reduced a $607,980 to the tribe by deducting $72,600 spent for the tribe's benefit by the government from 1860 to 1942. The court also deducted an earlier $150,000, payment made to the tribe.

Before the court' intervened, the Indian Claims Commission had ruled that government gratuities could not be deducted unless they annually exceeded five per cent of the total owed to the Indians. The court decision could cost Indian tribes with claims against· the government .millions of dollars.

The bishops heard leaders in intergroup relations, poverty programs and _other vital fields discuss problems confronting the Church and the nation at this time.

The wor.kshop at the University of Notre Dame was sponsored by the Department of S~cial Development, U. S. Catholic Conference. Bishop Raymond J. Gallagher of Lafayette, Ind., chairman of the USCC departmental committee, in his opening talk emphasized "social development-aiding the poor to aid themselves in fraternity-is a chief responsibility and joy of the Church, the people of God." Father Hesburgh, the university president, said 17 years of service on the U. S. Civil Rights .Commission, of which he now is chairman, convinced him religious organizations should play a vital role in overcoming today's polarization.

He said the religious groups' chief weapon in the fight against polarization is brotherhood. The bUild'ing of brotherhood is needed for concerted action in tackling unemployment, housing, education and other problems which principally plague minorities.

Advocates More Direct Aid to All 'College Students WASHINGTON (NC) - The president of a Catholic College advocated more liberal, direct federal aid to "all of our citizen students" in all colleges and universities, in testimony before a congressional committee here.

Bernard P. Currier, president of St. Joseph's College, North Windham, Me., told a House subcommittee on education "education at the college level is not supporting itself." , Currier said tuition and other charges paid by students accounts for only a third of the cost of a college education, while costs continue to mount.

He advocated a program of direct financial aid to students, patterned after the GI Bill of Rights formula. Currier said he is convinced such a program would meet constitutional law tests.

'Woefully Inadequate' "I feel that the most important support government should give to higher education is in the form of direct financial. aid to citizen students," Currier said.

"The amounts allocated so far in loans, educational opportunity grants and college work-study programs have assisted in keeping the non-state supported colleges and universities in competition. These amounts, however, have been woefully inadequate," he added.

Currier emphasized that to insure "a part of the pluralism which helps make our country great and allow an option to our student citizens, the government must assist all of our students."

St. Joseph's College for women, founded in 1915, is staffed by the Sisters of Mercy.

Communists Begin New Campaign BONN (NC)-Activists of the Communist party have started a new campaign "against old customs and religious bonds," according to a report broadcast by the Albanian radio network.

Local committees are being formed "in order to erase completely any religious beliefs among the citizenry." The campaign is directed at Mohammedans, Catholics and Orthodox who form in nearly equal parts the population of the Red Chinaleaning Balkan country.

In March, 1969, the German Catholic news agency, KNA, had reported that Zeri i Popullit, the newspaper of the Albanian Communist party, admitted that in Albania children are baptized, religious funerals are held and that bakeries prepare hosts for church services.

It blamed the survival of religion on the "relaxation" by party activists of "tenacious" and "persistent" attempts to do away with religion jn Albania, whose officials at one time boasted they ran the "leading atheistic country in the world."

New Breviary LONDON (NC) - An interim English version of the new Roman Breviary to be published here in July, contains the most extensive changes in the Divine Office, or official prayer of the Church, to be· made for many centuries.

Appalachia Aid Results Mixed CHARLESTON (NC) - More than $1 billion in federal aid has been poured into the 13state, poverty-stricken mountainous people-trap called Appalachia the past five years.

The results are mixed.

A 675-mile highway belt is under construction. Small factories, hospitals and schools have sprouted where no one believed they ever would. But back in the mountains-away back in the mountains-life goes on, unchanged as it has for hundreds of years.

As a result, officials of Ap~ palachian Regional Commission announced here after a factfinding tour of the area that the commission will retool to help the people who live "up the creek."

The bad guy of the area is the coal industry, and its biggest crime is strip miningpeeling away the surface of the earth to lay bare and mine a vein of coal. When the coal is gone, the mining operation moves on. Its monument is a gaping scar across the face of the earth.

Efforts to tax the industry to pay for coal mine depradations have met with bitter resistance from mine owners. "It's like taxing churches in Rome, I guess," one commission member remarked. But after 750 miles of tourfng, commission members agreed the tax will come, and behind it may come new development programs for Appalachia's poor whites.

The act would have. expired in August if he had not signed the measure extending it for another five years.

the pulpit to present his views? a young Jesuit doctor of political science, Peter J. Himriot, asked the ~oup.

A sermon on the moral and theological dimensions of war makes good sense from the pulpit, he said, but then hastened to add that people want to ask questions or debate the political realities of Cambodia and Vietnam.. The pulpit, he concluded, isn't tile place for that. .

As an alternative, he suggested that the priest could give a sermon on the Christian's obligation to work for peace and then invite anyone who wants to discuss the application of the moral principles of peace to specific political issues to adjourn to the parish hall after Mass.

Father Henriot's point is well taken. I would agree with him, in oth!!r words, that the pulipt, as a general rule, is not the proper forum in which to pontificate on complicated and highly controversial political and sacio-economic issues. I say this for two reasons, among others: 1) Few, if any, such issues are so clear-cut as to rule 'out legitimate differences of opinion or shades of opinion on the application of moral principles in specific cases, even if these principles themselves are agreed upon, in advance, by all concerned.

2) It strikes me as being an abuse of the pulpit (or. even the best informed cleric in the world to expect a captive audience ~o sit there at Sunday services like docile school children and listen in silence to one particular point of view on a complicated matter of public policy put forth dogmatically as though it were the last possible word on the subject if not, in fact, a defined article of the faith.

'Evidence" Shows American Society I~ Falling Apart

Thurs., July 2,

Stresses Va ~ u®

Of

It's too bad that the American society is falling apart.

Of course we all know it's falling apart. The prophets of doom on television and newspapers assure us that it is falling apart. This is the most serious crisis since .the Civil War, we are told. Of course, if the TV and newspaper , produce such a quick consensus.

7. Blacks are being elected .to commentators say it, it must public offices all over the counbe true. There's plenty of try-state legislatures, Congress, evidence of this collapse and it merits careful consideration: 1.

body seems to be concerned about politics. This is obviously a sign of collapse of democracy.

2. For the first time in history, the most powerful nation in the world is being forced to abandon the war because its people, or a substantial segment of it, think the war is immoral. Only in a weak, corrupt nation-one indeed that is on the verge of collapse-could such a moral judgment be effective.

3, Members of minority groups in the United States are making more social progress than they have at any previous time in the country's history and attitudes towards socal and political integration of minorities among the white majority are more enlightened than they have ever been before. Obviously, you can only have this kind of progress in a nation that is basically sick.

Welfare lFolley 4. American Catholics, after a century or more of living in a closed immigrant and counterreformation ghetto, have now entered the broad educational, social, political, and economic life of the country and, indeed with a vengeance. (One-third of the college students in the country are Catholic though only one-quarter of the population is.) Surely, a country that will permit such a rapid integration of an undesirable immigrant group must have something wrong with it.

5. A Republican president is engaged in the beghmings of a program of family allowances which dramatically changes the nation's welfare policy and may well be one of the most important social innovations of the last half-century. It's bad enough that such change be taking place, but that a Republican President is initiating such change is a real sign of how bad things are (and that he is doing so at the recommendation of a renegade Irish Democrat is an even more serious sign of disaster).

6. There is a rapidly emerging consensus on environment which has scared the living daylights out of those who have been polluting the air, water, and land of the nation, and forcing them to spend vast sums of money, if not in ending the pollution, at least in increasing the intensity of their lobbying efforts. Only a nation where concern about social problems has practically disappeared could

mayors of important cities, and the blacks that are being elected are not the loud mouthed, hatespewing militants, but sane, moderate men who are tough, capable politicians. The. emergence of such black political leadership obviously is disas- . trous for the Republic.

8. Religious concern among the young is higher than it has been in the last 50 years. The concern takes weird and bizarre forms and doesn't seem to have had much impact yet on the institutional church but it's there just the same. Any nation whose young so desperately seek for meaning and community and the sacred must be about to go the way of the Roman Empire at the time of Nero.

Too Bad About U.S.A. 9. Even though there are some clear instances of police injustice, and even legalized murder, the amount of political repression that is actually taking place in the United States is relatively small-given the temper of the times.

For all his threats, Ronald Regan has not eliminated the University' of California, probably could not, and probably would not even if he could. Any .country that can cope with crises with relatively minimal amounts of repression should be . quickly prepared for the embalmers.

The silent majority, middle America, call it what we will, may not like the protest demonstrations of the blacks and of the young but, with few wellpublicized exceptions, they have not engaged in counter-protest, much less in counter-violence.

Indeed, it has rarely engaged in "backlash" voting despite. widespread predictions that it would do so.

Any country that can endure the left wing activism of the sixties without experiencing an even more virulent right wing activism is in a bad way, indeed.

In fact, each time a parishioner leaves, Father Zedanowicz smiles cordially, shakes hands sincerely and advises tersely: "Get out and stay out."

When each of his parishioners goes through the gates to freedom, he's required to write to the chaplain for three months.

Father Zedanowicz commented: "The longest they write is about six or seven months. Then you figure either they've made it or they didn't. You keep your fingers crossed and hope they did make it:' He's been stationed at the prison for a year, has grown quite friendly with some of his former parishioners. He proudly relates that one has applied to become a Brother, 26 have received their first Communion and six are taking religious instructions.

CINCINNATl (NC)-Asserting that "the positive values of celibacy are needed now more than they ever were," an archbishop underscored that faith is required to understand and practice it.

Speaking at an institute for elementary and high school teachers on "Teaching Human Sexuality" at Xavier University here, Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati called celibacy a favor in the "struggle to lift up and spiritualize a pagan atmosphere."

"It still can be practiced with peace and joy if the priest lives l\Ild functions as a holy priest, a man of God, totally dedicated to serving all the' people in Christ," the archbishop said. . "A life of dedicated celibacy has meaning and value only in the f\ith dimension. It simply cannot be understood and surely not fully appreciated outside this context. It is my firm conviction from enough personai interviews to speak from actual experience, that most defections from the priesthood today are a result of a crisis of faith and not sex," he said.

"Today, as faith dies or is weakened in the life of a priest, so does his commitment to celibacy," he added.

Quoting extensively from Pope Paul's encyclical on priestly celibacy the archbishop stressed these words of the Holy Father: "The natural and lawful desire a man has to love a woman and raise a family is good, but these are not the only ways for fully developing the human personality. In a good priest's heart love is by no means extftnct. His charity is drawn from the purest source, practiced in the imitation of God and Christ, and no less than any other genuine love is demanding and real."

It was a typical large group picnic, complete with all sorts of organized activity and fun things to do. Granted, many people enjoy these games, but my life' consists of so many things I 'must do, I re~lly' don't appreciate Ii "director" telling me how I should have fun.

Wrong Line My opinion of this "recreation" was out-and-out enthusiastic compared to my husband's.

So we hung on to kids and watched ,while all the other fathers had a good time bruising knees and trying to break a leg in the "good old-fashioned sack race."

The organized activities finally drew to a close. I think they ran out of ambUlatory contestants. Prizes were awarded and we were to proceed to the "barbecue area" for "all the hamburgers and hot dogs" you could eat.

The only difficulty was that our picnic was being' held at the same site selected for many other groups' Annual Fourth of July Picnics.

I settled five hungry kids at a table while Daddy waited on a long line. They counted off his progress: only 25 more people to go, 20 to go, 15 to go.

Unfortunately, 'when he reached the head of the ,line, he was with the Kiwanian group' instead of the K of C. All You Can Eat We started over: ','Only 25 more people to go.

Mommy, I'm hungry."

"Only 20 more; I hope Daddy remembers the pickles." ,"Only 15 more; Mom, isn't there anything to eat?"

"Only 10 more, I'm so thirsty, Mom. Can't we go get our own soda?"

Finally, Daddy reached the head of the right line' and found that "all the hamburger you could eat," had already 'been eaten.

He settled for seven hot dogs.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Msgr.

Lawrence J. Corcoran, secretary of 'the National Conference of Catholic Charities here, criticized the present U, S. welfare system· in an article prepared for the.

July issue 'of Sign magazine.

Urging' passage of the Nixon administration's' welfare 'reform proposals, Msgr.

Corcoran charged that the present welfare system locks families into poverty, discourages work, destroys family life and presents impossible investigative demands.

In a description of the reforms contained in the Family Assistance Bill, the monsignor pointed out that the bill substitutes a national welfare program in place of the present state-based program.

Work Incentive He also cited such radical breakthroughs in welfare planning as the establishment of niltional.staridards for wel(are eligibility, federal payments for some of the working poor, a work incentive feature, and the harmonizing of various element.s of the existing federal welfare program.

Pointing to what appears to be a strong desire across the country for action on the wel-. fare program, Msgr. Corcoran said that "if the Senate acts (with House and presidential concurrence) significant steps will have been taken. If not, then another year - perhaps many years - will go by without, reform."

By BARBARA WARD

In trying to secure such an outcome, .the American administration would seem to face two difficult problems inside and outside America; one concerns pressure inside Vietnam, the other, American relations with Russia and China. .

The Vietnam dilemma is this.

If the United States lets it be uJ'lderstoo'd in Hanoi that it will stay indefinitely in the South unless the North .negotiates" Hanoi may be pressured into negotiation. But public opinion in America will erupt still further while Saigon will feel no need to conciliate any of its dissident groups-Buddhist, Vietcong--even though, or because, they are a majority.

Oppose. Army's Basic Training CHICAGO (NC)-Two Army doctors told delegates to the American Medical Association convention here that Army basic training is miserable, demeaning and senseless.

Lt. Cols. William E. Datel and Llewellyn J. Legters also said basic training doesn't have to be that way.

The two officers reported that an experimental training program at Ft. Ord, Cal., indicated that recruits responded better to a program of rewards and incentives than to the old system of abuse and punishment.

• "Military traditionalists argue it is necessary to 'break' the reo cruit to make him a well-disiplined soldier," Lt. Col. Datel reported. "The training is essentially an il1ltitiation rite that strips him of his personal identity by constant reminders that are demeaning to his status * :): * *" "It is wasteful," the colonel continued, "to discard the re'sults of 20 years of socialization: wrought by the family, the school, the church and our democratic institutions. It is these institutions, after all, to which the American soldier is ultimately committed and for which he fights and dies."

THE ANCHORThurs., July 2,

CHICAGO (NC)-Parishioners polled here sa id they oppose closing down all Catholic schools in the Chicago archdicoese next Fall as a prot.est against the Illinois legisluture's rejection of non public school aid.

Commenting on the results of the poll, Father H. Robert Clark, archdiocesan superinten'dent of schools, said, "In my opinion this put.s the demonstration issue at rest, once and for all."

The "demonstration issue" called for the shutting down of the Catholic elementary and high schools.

There are some 70,000 students in 80 high schools and more than 227,000 pupils in 442 grade schools in the archdiocesan school system.

The poll was conducted in more than 400 parishes which have school problems. Results. showed that seventy-three per· cent of the parishes opposed the closing protest strategy.

The report was made public at a series of six open hearings conducted by the archdiocesan school board at strategic regional locations throughout the archdiocese.

Non-Christians More Liberal In Sex Views WASHINGTON (NC)-A sur· vey of the attitudes and activo ities of some 20,000 Americans has concluded that atheists and Jews tend to be more liberal about sex while Protestants and Catholics generally are more conserv~tive.

Dr. Robert Athanasiou of the Johns Hopkins University in .Baltimore, director of the survey being published in the July issue of Psychology Today, observed: "Knowing only one thing about a person-how religious he is- allows one to make a good guess about many of his sexual attitudes and, experiences."

Psychology Today is a glossy magazine of popularized psychology whose typical reader has been described as about 30, college-educated, with above $10,000 annual income-and the survey participants fit the same mold, according to Athanasiou.

His study reported these findings among others: as many women as men said they have had extra marital affairs, 1 per cent of the women said they have had illegal abortions, 90 per cent of all respondents rejected the idea of pre-marital chastity, 76 per cent of the women said they have had pre-marital sexual relations.

Two-thirds of those polled said they believed abortion should be available to women on demand, said Athanasiou, adding: "Even the' great· majority of Catholic respondents expressed approval of abortion in various circumstances."

British Abortion Foe To Address Women SEATTLE (NC) - Mrs. Jill Knight, member of the British Parliament and opponent of relaxing England's abortion laws, will speak on the abortion issue at the 33rd biennial Catholic Daughters of Amreica convention here July 19-23.

The advocates (lawyers for one or both parties in the marriage case) have been given greater recognition and status in the eyes of the diocesan tribunal, with greater leeway than they used to have in questioning witnesses and examining court records.

Moral Certitude The basis whereby a judge decides a case has been shifted, giving major new weight to evidence from both sides. Until now, he could no~ grant an annulment unless he had "moral certitude" that a marriage was invalid; henceforth, however, his moral certitude should be "generated by the prevailing weight of that evidence having a recognized value in law and jurisprudence."

Dropped is the old mandatory requirement that the "defender of the bond" (the court official . who acts as lawyer against the annulment-seeker, or defense lawyer for the marriage itself) must appeal whenever an annulment is granted. If he is convinced that the appeals court would uphold the annulment decision, he need not appeal, although the diocesan bishop will have to get a bishops conference dispensation from the old obligation that there must be an appeal.

Transfer Cases Flexibility has been allowed on the geographic question of where a case is started. The diocesan court first getting the case can now be in the diocese of either party, the diocese where the marriage took place, or even a diocese where a tribunal believes his court "is better able to judge the case than any other tribunal."

A case can now be transferred from one court to another at any time during the trial "for grave reason." A conference spokesman said this provision could be helpful in an exceptional case where a court suddenly became understaffed through deaths or transfers.

Greater freedom in choosing the original court, the spokesman also explained, was allowed because star witnesses or special experts might be available in one diocese but not in another.

IReleased Time Study PubIished

l

ANN HARBOR (NC)-A history of the "released time" movement in Catholic education, authored by a' U.S. Catholic Conference education official, has been published here by University Microfilms.

Started in 1!)J4, the plan permitted Catholic children at public schools to be released during school hours for religious instruction. About three million school children participated in the program at its height.

Msgr. Raymond Lucker, director of the conference education department wrote "Some Presuppositions of Released Time" for his doctoral dissertation at the University of Minnesota in 1969.

One of the earliest challenges to the church-state separation question, the program was directly involved in eight major court decisions, two of which reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

NOTRE DAME CEMETERY AND CHAPEL MAUSOLEUM IN FALL RIVER A Glorious fulfillment

A glorious fulfillment of our spiritual and temporal needs will be realized upon selection of a final resting place in the Notre Dame Cemetery or new. Chapel Mausoleum.

Our faith teaches that the human body is sacred. It is an essential part of us, involved in all our service of God and in our salvation. It will rise glorified to enjoy the happiness of heaven..

Where you are buried, therefore, should not be dismissed as a matter of little consequence.

It should. reflect your life and devotions, your earthly journey toward eternal salvation. Only you can accomplish this. A great step in the proper direction is taken when you select property in a Catholic cemetery.

Selection of a suitable memorial before actual need, free of sorrow and uncertainty, is the sign of a prudent man-a man whorecognizes the material needs of his family. Selection in a ceinetery dedicated to the faith he has followed all his life is the sign of a religious man'a man who proclaims his hope of the resurrection by his choice of his final' earthly home.

This trend toward mausoleum burial is for economy, simplicity and beau~y. In the last few 'years Catholic mausoleurt:ls have been completed in many Catholic cemeteries.

Permanence Using only the finest materials, Notre Dame Chapel Mausoleum will be constructed so that it will be standing for centuries to come. The interior will be finished in polished marble. The exterior will be of granite. That this enduring stone will withstand the ravages of time is borne out by the fact that the pyramids of Egypt, built of granite 3,000 years ago, are still standing today.

To further insure the permanence of this mausoleum, a large endowed care fund will be established. A sizable portion of the proceeds from the mausoleum will be invested in this fund of which only the interest is to be used to permanently ma.intain the mausoleum.
