Florida Group Hit,s p'ro-Abortion Stand

It

MIAMI (NC) - A divergent quartet of community leaders here took sharp issue with the ,Florida Supreme Court's recent recommendation that the legislature repeal the state's restric~ tive 103-year-old abortion ,laws.

Lined up against the state high court's appeal for a modernization of the abortion laws were: Mrs. Carolyn Wright, former practicing attorney and now head of the local branch of the National Right To Life, Committee; Rabbi Phineas P. Weberman; Dr. Richard Applebaum, pediatrician, and Mrs. Thomas F. Palmer, legislative chairman of the Miami Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women.

Mrs. Wright said the U. S. Supreme Court, as recently as April, 1971, upheld the traditional protection which the law has accorded to the life of an unborn child. She said this is a landmark ruling in "its affirmation of laws which attempt to establish that fundamental constitutional right of all Citizens-the right to life itself."

l~ 1l. "

Rabbi Weberman labeled a concurring majority opinion by Justice Richard Ervin of the Florida high court. as "illogical and not mindful of the facts."

Ervin, former state attorney general raised the qusetion of a woman's right to "privacy from intrusion in the personal control of her body," which he called, "unquestionably a fundamental personal Ijberty." ',' , Rabbi Weberman said that the judge's theory would "strike ~Il laws directed against' personal behavior . . . and the result would be chaotic.'~ According to this reasoning, the churchman said, "we should legalize' murder and allow it to be committed by qualified professionals."

Dr, Applebaum said there is a definite agreement among members 'of the judiciaries of various states in this area. He emphasized that the unborn infant legally has, inheritance rights.

He cited a 'Michigan Supreme Court ruling granting a mother compensation for a brain (jamTurn to ~ Page Six

Pontif' Speaks

Christian Holiness Object Of Vatican Council II VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Second Vatican Council called all Christians to holiness, Pope Paul VI has declared, and not to a false freedom from basic morality.

"How explain today's proc nounced tendency to interpret the council as a 'liberation' from moral obligations which Christian custom had always regarded -if not, unfortunately, always observed-as serious and binding?" he asked at his weekly g~neral audience.

Without any doubt the "prevailing feature the council wanted to impress upon Christian, life" was holiness, he asserted. But he :emphasized that such holiness was not "an exceptional manifestation of moral and religious perfection" beyond the reach of most.

"The council rectified this conception of holiness as something rare and phenomenal, and brought it back to its historical origins, that is to when all faith•

ful Christians were called 'the saints.' " Holiness is "the normal state of life, elevated to a mysterious and stupendous supernatural dignity," the Pope asserted.

"It does not exonerate man from a continuous moral effort."

Asking how anyone could possibly interpret the Second Vatican Council's teachings as a liberation from moral obligations, he continued: "How can anyone go so far as to call 'taboos,' especially in matters of moral decency, certain requirements and 'rules which ~hristian and civil education has succeeded in. writing into the very style of a noble and true life?

Father James Coriden, assist~ ant professor of theology at Catholic University of America's school of theology, described what the Church has traditionaIly had to say about unionrelated subjects.

Religious in Unions In researching various papal documents for his presentation at the conference, ,Father Coriden told NC News he found "sophisticated and very positive treatmen't by papal authority of the right.. to organize, right to just wages and so forth."

"I was amazed at the consistency and the strength of those teachings over the past 80 years," ·he said.

"If they look' upon themselves as competitors" in the marketplace and want the' same kind of treatment, protection and so forth. as their lay counterparts, it would seem hard to deny them the .right to join unions," the priest explained. .

"On the other hand, if. they still consider themselves bound by the vows of poverty and obedience in the' traditional 1?ense, , it's hard to see how they would fit into a union structure."·

Father Robert J. Bueter, S.J., will work as an intern in the editorial and business offices of the Chicago-based weekly. The Christian Century has functioned for more than 60 years as' a major ecumenical voice of mainline Protestantism.

With Vatican 'Council II the journal stepped up its coverage of the Catholic scene and added a number of Roman Catholic, priests and lay leaders to its lists of editors-at-Iarge.

Fa'ther Bueter, however, will. be the first Catholic to serve on the editorial staff of the magazine.

A graduate of Fordham, since 1967 he has been an instructor in theology and director of media at L0yola Academy in Wilmette, IlL, where he was also cross-country and track coach.

He has been an editorial assistant for both the Paulist Press and the Loyola University Press and has worked as a radio sportscaster.

The fellowship awarded to Father Bueter honors the late Kyle Haseldon, a Christian century editor who died in 1968.

THE ANCHOR-Di~cese 'of Fall River-Thyrs.JuL)'. 22, 1971

-Trevino Donates , Part of Purse To Orphans .

A Pattern Changed The 'late-Pope John often pointed out that when one is confronted with a tangled and corpplex problem there are several ways of attacking it. One way is to try to solve the problem, by u~ing all the resources of reason and discussion and prayer. , , .

Another way, the Pope would indicate, is' to change the pattern of the problem itself. Someone, he would say, must step in like a lumberman in the midst of a log jam on a Canadian river and pry out a key log, thus altering and, hopefully, changing the pattern to a degree that the problem would become more amenable to solution.

This seems to be the role that President Nixon has chosen in_his decision to visit Red China..

Pope Paul hailed this action on Sunday' as, he spoke of "something big and new that is taking place which can change the face of the world." , It is to be hoped that this will happen.

But, at any rate, the 'pattern ,seemed to have changed.

And this change gives. new optimism to hopes for world peac.e and brotherhO'Od.

The Facts

LONDON (NC)-'-Lee Trevino, American champion golfer from Texas, gave $4,800 'of the $13,200 prize money he received winning the British Open Golf Championship to a local Catholic orphanage.

Sister Agnes, superior of Our Lady's Home for Babies at Freshfleld, Lancashire, close by ·the tournament course at Birk'dale, was presented with the money by· Trevino at a local casino-at. a supper including cocktails and, champagne.

The golfer had decided to give part of his winnings to charity and the casino owner whom he consulted recommended the Catholic home.

When he handed Sister Agnes the check he told her: "I don't know how many kids you have there, honey. I have accomplished something if I am helping somebody."

Trevino's. gay, wise-cracking ways have always made him a favorite with British crowds.

One newspaper said his gift to the ,orphanage "was. characteristic of a generosity of spirit bred from a not remote experience o'f life's harsher realities than most of his contemporaries .ever knew."

Newspapers' traditionally have had, and had a~tempted to live up to, the great responsibility that is theirs. The most casual of remarks, when written in a newspaper, can quite literally form the thinking of .tens of thousands, indeed, of 'millions of persons. So it was that great apprehension was brought about by recent reports that a '1<irge percentage, some' even· said a majority, of servicemen in Vietnam were using hard-core drugs.

Abortion Offends India's Ideals

By BARBARA WARD

The police action unleashed

by West Pakistan's General Yahya Khan last March was designed to destroy the movement towards autonomy for the Bengalis in East Pakistan which had just been made manifest in' sweeping electoral gains for the autonomists' leader Sheik Mujibur Rahman. Since then repression continues unabated.

As a result, upwards of five million Bengalis-almost equivalent to the whole population of Indiana-have surged, despairing, destitute and cholera-ridden, across the frontiers into .India.

But these border states, Tripura, Assam, and, above all, West Bengal, are themselves incredibly poor and hence highly cholera-prone. Caleutta is, by all odds, the most dreadful city in the world. Yet the waves of misery flowing across the fron, tiers begin to lap at the city too.

MADRAS (NC) - An Indian archbishop has critizied attempts to legalize abortion:,in this country as "the latest threat against life."

Archbishop Arulappa Rayappa of Madras-Mylapore said in a statement that when a country that has always shown the greatest reverence for life takes to such measures, "it is time to sit up and think seriously how we in this country have fallen from our vaunted ideals and the idealism of the past.

The statement come shortly after the Indian parliament's upper house voted approval of an official bill that seeks to legalize for other than medical reasons, until now a crime in India.

Archbishop Rayappa pointed out that today there are millions in the country who would not even kill an insect.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Archbishop Harold W. Henry of Kwang Ju in Korea has retired from that archdiocese and become apostolic administrator of the newly created prefecture of , Cheju-do, an island 90 miles off Korea's southern tip.

Archbishop Henry, a Minneapolis-born Columban missioner, Will, be working with 10 Irish Columbans and three .Korean diocesan priests: The prefecture was detached from the Kwang Ju archdiocese.

Bishop Peter Han Kong-Ryel of Jeon Ju has become archbishop of Kwang Ju. A spokesman for the Columban missioners pointed out that the r~tirement of mis'sionary bishops and their replacement by members of the local clergy is the rule nowadays. ~He said it has become customary that a retiring missionary bishop take over administration of a smaller, less-developed place.

First American Woman in Curia Hopes To Lead Way for Others SAN FRANCISCO (NC) America's first woman member of the Roman Curia, Sister Thaddea Kelly, is a native San Franciscan with a deep chuckle and the perceptive eye of a veteran classroom Presentation nun.

"This is new work and a tremendous challenge," Sister Kelly told The Monitor, San Francisco archdiocesan newspaper, in an interview. "Religious women should be encouraged. Someone - no matter how inadequate she may feel - has been appointed to represent them."

Rosemary Goldie of Australia, executive secretary of the Permanent Committee for Interna'tional Congresses of, the Lay Apostolate, was the first woman to join the Curia, but Sister Kelly is the first American woman Religious to receive such an appointment. She will head the Department for Constitutions . for Congregations of Religious Women and Secular Institutes.

"I am happy for my community and hope that the fact that we have a religious woman in the Sacred Congregation for Religious will give hope to the rest of Religious women throughout the world," Sister Kelly said.

She added that she thinks her appointment is indicative that more women will follow her in achieving top positions within the Church.

Sister Kelly has been studying theology, scripture and prayer in Rome for the past year in a special program for Englishspeaking women Religious. The 28 women have been taught by professors from the Gregorian University.

In May the group attended a papal audience and the Holy

J

Father told them to tell all women Religious: "I have great confidence in you because of your love for and devotion to the Church."

Sister Kelly spoke fondly of her San Francisco roots. She attended St. Monica's elementary school, Presentation high school and San Francisco College for Women. Later she did graduate work at Catholic University, Washington, D. C. and taught there. She was professed in the Presentation Order in 1937.

Her first teaching assignment was at St. Anne's elementary school, San Francisco, followed by posts in Los Angeles, San Pedro and Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has also held top offices in the Presentation community.

Sister Kelly will move into her new office' on St. Peter's S,quare on Sept. 1. .

She hopes to leave San Fran'cisco with lots of one thing, she said.

"Prayers."

Asserts Ecumenical Movement Elitist GENEVA (NC)-The ecumenical movement is still too elitist and seldom gets below the level of official leadership on international, national and local levels, said the Rev. Victor E.W. Hayward, of the World Council of Churches here.

Mr. Hayward said "the movement has yet to be democratized" and stressed the need for communication both "upwards and downards."

At present, councils of churches are too frequently an "ecumenical facade" beside which churches remain in practice as unecumenical as ever, he charged. Mr. Hayward is secretary of the WCC unit that deals with national councils of churches. He spoke to delegates to the first World Consultation on Christian Councils here.

Convert School To Drug Center

School ,Leaders Contin'ue Quest F'or Assistance WASHINGTON (NC) - Nonpublic school officials are continuing their search for financial aid programs which' would be constitutionally acceptable in 'light of 'a re~ent U; S, Supreme Court ruling nullifying two such aid forms. ' The high court knocked down June 28 a purchase-of-secularservices law benefiting Pennsylvania nonpublic schools and a 'salary supplement for qualifying nonpublic teacher~ in Rhode , Island.

Two days later, it ·affirmed a lower court decision' declaring a Connecticut purchase-ofservices law unconstitutional.

David J. Young, legal counsel for Ohio's Protestant, 'Catholic and Jewish schools, said at a meeting wIth school officials that an Ohio salary supplement was ,dis~inguishable "in many !?ignificant respects from the Rhode Island program which the high: court dissolved.

Parental Grants . But 'Young, told the group no one could assure constitutionality of the law.' He s~id parental grants and credits were the forms of future educational assistance most,likely'to meet the new criteria established in the Supreme Court ruling.

Young also advised the group , that programs currently benefitIngnonpublic schools in ,the state which would probably not be affected by' the ,ruling were bu's 'transportation, school lunches, health services, x:eme-' dial teadingand other programs.

The attorney met later with Ohio's seven bishops, including Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati. ~The bishops said in a statement that 'they had' "authorized legal counsel and those coordinating responsible ' for , statewide n'onpublic education to cooperate to the fullest with Ohio's legislators to' secure constitutionally sound avenues for continued aid to nonpublic school parents."

Cite GI Bill Also advocating the development of constitutionally sound aid programs were the four bishops of .Florida, including ~Q Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll of The Miami.

Florida bishops, who have endorsed tuition grants for nonpublic school students, noted in a joint statement that. similar programs had been previously considered constitutional.

They cited the GI Bill of Rights, which allows veterans of all faiths to attend the .school of their choice and receive state and federal assistance for their, education.

"Why, one might ask,' could not' this .~ame principle be applied in secondary and primary 'd . schools," the. bishops sal, "without bringing abQut what the Supreme Court, in a strange phrase, refers .to as 'ex<:essive entanglements' between Church and State?"

The GI Bill of Rights was also mentionel by officials of a citizens' group backing educational freedom of choice in Michigan.

WASHINGTON (Nc)-Names of five diocean and five Religious priests, to be voted on by the U. S. bishops as possible priest-auditors at the upcoming world Synod of Bishops, have been made known to ,NC News by a reliable source outside of Washington.

The dioce!ian priests, according to the source, include Father Francis J. Bonnike of Chicago, president of the National Federation of Priests' Council; Msgr.

George G. Higgins of Washington, D. C., director of the United States Catholic Conference's urban life division; Msgr. Bernard Law, vicar general of the Natchez-Jackson, Miss., diocese; sociologist Father Andrew Greeley of Chicago and Msgr. Colin ,MacDonald of Manchester, N. H. Religious priests named by the source are Passionist Father Paul Boyle, president ~f the Conference of Major Superiors of Men Religious; Sulpician Father Raymond Brown of Baltimore; Maryknoll Father Eugene Kennedy of Chicago; Jesuit Father Walter Farrell of Detroit; and Father Barnabas Passionist Ahern of Chicago.

Two Nominees Asked to comment on the names, Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, general secretary of the United States Catholic Conference and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, said: "This office does not plan any official announcement on the .subject until the process of ,nomil')ating, anq" appointing the priest.audlto'rs ',has' been completed.'; .

The U. S. bishops have been asked by the NCCB to nominate two priest-auditors, one diocesan and one Religious, from the list.

The names of the two nominess will be submitted to Pope Paul who' will appoint the auditors to the Fall synod in Rome.

Each bishop will vote for one diocesan and one Religious priest. The diocesan and Religious priests receiving the most votes will be nominated as auditors, while runners-up' in both categories will be proposed as alternates.

Opens Sept. 30 The NCCB's administrative committee, which set the procedures for the selection of the auditors, had earlier invited the bishops and the Conference of Major Superiors of Men Religious, to suggest the names of priests for the nomination list: Another NCCB committee, composed of three bishops and four priests, drew' up the list from among those suggested: The bishops' synod, scheduled to open Sept. 30 in Rome, will consider two topics-the priesthood and world justice.

U. S. bishops selected as delegates to the meeting are Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia, Cardinal John Carberry of St. Louis and Coadjutor Arch" bishop Leo Byrne of, St. PaulMinneapolis.

Con.nolly High Scholastic Giving 15 Hours Daily .,. to Fall River's Re-Creation '71

BY DOROTHY EASTMAN "All we want to do is create an atmosphere that will make Fall River a little pleasanter place to live," says Mr. Paul Roy, the Jesuit scholastic who is in the staff of Re-Creation '71.

Mr. Roy, who is a guidance counselor at Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River, puts in 15 hours a day working on the Summer fun fest that includes cultural and artistic events throughout the city.

Recreation '70 was the city of Cambridge's phenomenally successful Summer recreation program last year. Its director, Bob Gordon, explained the concept to a group of Fall Riv,er officials and citizens last Winter.

Ron Ferris of the Chamber of Commerce, organized a committee composed of local business men and-labor union representatives and Fall River's, plans for, their own ReCreation '71 began to grow.

"Boredom is the root of all evil" said the young Mr. Ferris, who is director of the program. , "Boredom is one of the causes of vandalism and drug abuse.

With this program we're giving people not only a chance for recreation and amusement, but something to contribute. We've given them a purpose."

Over 400 volunteers involved are in the program and under the direction of the young Jesuit scholastic.. Most of the volunteers are between the ages of 15 and 25. ."One of the big jobs we have is getting the midciie aged people involved. People think it's just for kids," Mr. Roy said. , He and Ron Ferris paused for a moment in their busy schedules at ReCreation headquarters at 15 Pleasant Street. , Full Calendar of Events On one wall is a huge white cardboard that is a calendar for the months of July and August.

Every day is filled with events of all variety. There are rock concerts; five cent movies at a downtown theater, a splash party at a private pool for children from an orphanage, a vaudeville at the Catholic Memorial Home.

The kickoff for the Summer program was a free concert at the North Park .sponsored by the Fall River Police Association. It attracted over 15,000 people and there was not one incident to mar the evenin'g's entertainment.

"People have been very generous" Mr.' Roy said. "One of the three vans we use in our neighborhood programs is rented for us by several private citizens, one is on loan from the school department and the third was sold to us for one dollar by a local motor sales company.

"The only problem we have is funds" Mr. Ferris commented.

We estimated the whole Summer's program would cost $19,000."

"If we had to pay for all the time and talent and material that is donated the program, cost easily about would $200,000," he said, Use of Local Talent The three organizations that have supplied much of the driving force behind ReCreation '71 are the Chamber of Commerce, Citizens for Citizens and the

Mr. Paul' Roy, S.J. of the Connolly Hjgh faculty and a .staff member of Re-Creation '71; Tom Norton executive director.

ST. LOUIS (NC) - Another Catholic high school here announced that it will close because of a shortage of priests and Brothers, caused in part by resignations from the religious life.

Augustinian Academy, a pri· vate school with an enrollment of 600 boys,announced that it will continue for one more year and close permanently in June of 1972. Father Raymond Ryan, Augustinian provincial, said the decision was made at a recent meeting of the province in Chicago.

Earlier this year the St. Louis archdiocese announced the closing of McBride High School which had an enrollment of 370 boys. Reasons given then were declining enrollment and increasing costs.

Father Ryan said the closing of Augustinian Academy was prompted mainly by lack of personnel. "The strain on the whole province is continuing," he said, "but we have diminishing personnel. There are just fewer Augustinians now."

The school was first established here in 1961.

Common Pattern

Youth Action Group. The latter group is headed by Mr. Roy. "Ninety-nine per cent of the talent we use is local talent," Roy said. "Most of the bands who play at the concerts donate their fee right'back'to us."

Sometimes the innovative .programs and events .seem "too good to be true." A van known as "The Pastry Man" roams the streets passing out free pastry that has been donated by a bakery.

Churches Ask More Development Aid SYDNEY (NC) - Representatives of Australian churches have urged the Australian government to increase its aid to developing countries progressively so that it reaches 0.7 per cent of the gross national product by 1975.

They asked that development aid be increased in the next budget by ,at least $31 million to $218 million as a first step.

On one· typical dll¥ the young people may put on a fashion show for a Senior Citizens group and in the same afternoon the Senior Citizens reciprocate with a puppet show.

In the arts and crafts programs the youngsters are encouraged to make something for themselves and also something for a youngster in an orphans home or for someone in a rest home.

Brother Robert Godfrey, S.M., associate superintendent of archdiocesan schools here, described the closing of Augustinian as "one more symptom of the times" Catholic education is going through.

Besides financial consideration, personnel shortages among many male religious orders are forcing cutbacks in schools, he said. "It's a pattern that's becoming all too common."

ST. LOUIS (NC)-Union officials involved in attempts to organize this city's hospital' workers have succeeded in placing an advertisement explaining their position in the St. Louis Review, official· newspaper of the St. Louis Archdiocese.

Three weeks earlier the labor unions had publicly condemned the paper for refusing to run the advertisement.

Father Edward J. O'Connell, editor of the Review, said the advertisement was accepted "after a change in wording had been proposed to, the advertiser, and had .been agreed to."

At a meeting of the St. Louis Labor Council while the Service Employes Local 50, Stationary Engineers Local 2. and the St. Louis Review were hammering out wording of the advertisement, the 150 delegates of the Labor Council, representing 250,000 AFL-CIO affiliate 'union workers, voted unanimously to "condemn" the newspaper for "disgraceful suppression" qf the advertisement.

Leader~ of the union had also written to Cardinal John Carberry of St. Louis, asking him . to "personally review the advertisement" and give an opinion.

The half-page ad, published in the' July 2 issue of the Review, was headed "Democracy Died in St. Louis Hospitals."

'Unfair Practices' It charged that local hospitals,

because they are not-for-profit

charitable institutions, are exempt from the provisions of most labor laws and "thus they commit continued violations of human rights which normally would be subject matter for un~ fair labor practices."

The advertisement included quotations from various religious leaders, including the U. S. Catholic bishops and Pope Paul VI on the right of workers to unionize and to strike.

The advertisement also 'included a quote from Msgr. VVilliam M. Drumm, chancellor of the St. Louis archdiocese, which said: "The cardinal . . . quite agrees ... that all workers including hospital employees are entitled to a living wage and good wor/dng conditions."

The advertisement mentioned no' specific hospital or institution, but the unions placing the advertisement have organized workers at Incarnate VVord Hospital here and have asked for recognition as the bargaining agent for the Catholic Hospital's employees. The hospital administration refused to recognize the unions' bid.

'Sacked Sixteen' A union spokesman said he believed the principal obstacle to agreement is the board of directors of the St. Louis Hospital Association.

The union advertisment originally said that 25 per cent of the 16 members of the St. Louis Hospital Association are Catholic religious leaders.

The advertisement, 'as it finally ran' in the Review, referred to the St. Louis, Hospital Assodation, "whose board of directors is composed -of 16 individuals, a diverse group of doctors, religious and lay people.

The ad said "while these 'Sacred Sixteen' blindly refuse to recognize the human rights of their employees, religious leaders across the nation say 'VVill this injustice be allowed to continue?' " / The advertisement was signed by the Service Employees Local 50, AFL-CIO (The Hospital VVorkers Union); St. Louis, and the Operating Engineers Local 2 AFL-CIO, St. Louis. '

Michigan Priest Named Chaplain For Farm Workers' Union DETROIT (NC)-For the next two years Father Joseph Melton wBI be chaplain to Cesar Chavez's farm workers' unionpreaching, administering the sacraments, counseling and witnessing the theology of the exodus.

While the priest does not see himself as a Moses, he said, he definitely believes the Spanishspeaking farm laborers are toiling under a bondage like that of the Israelites of the Old Te3tament.

The Church is partly responsible for farm workers' plight, said the priest, who has been released from his assignment as pastor of St. Nicholas Mission on loan to the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee for two years.

The Church's responsiblity for the situation stems from its "past paternalistic practiceswhen we were . doing for Mexican-Americans instead of standing behind them when they stood up for their rights," Father Melton said.

"We ought to be listening to farm workers instead of determining what they should have.

We should sUPRort them when they' say they want a contract," he added. .

Inan interview with the Michigan Catholic Father Melton said that for the union movement to be successful in California, the grape boycott would have to be successful in Michigan. Today he feels the boycott was effective in Michigan and the nation; but

at a cost to the farm workers.

Fewer migrants will be working in Michigan this Summer," he said, "because the growers and companies are closing the compounds C\.nd encouraging the farmers to use chemicals and automated machinery to replace the migrant help."

The growers, canneries and farmers have stated their opposition to the union in Michigan.

Boycotts Solution The 37-year-old chaplain has not lost faith, however, in the value of boycotts: "They are tremendous signs of non-violence like the Old Testament plagues of Egypt that changed the Pharoah's mind. But God developed man's sense of responsibility so that a plague is no longer an

"Boycotts can be the nonviolent solution to many of our problems and the world's problems," he said.

For the past five years Father Melton has been spiritual adviser to' the Spanish-speaking farm workers who came to Michigan each Summer to plant, weed, cultivate and harvest crops. His parish stretched over the farmlands of 'Lapeer, St. Clair and Macomb Counties-the fringe of vegetable farming regions that surround metropolitan Detroit.

His new parish will cover California, Arizona, Nevada and Texas when the AFL-CIO union is trying to organize farm workers.

Garden .Care Less .Difi~icult T:hanLawn Mainten'ance'

By Jo.seph and Marilyn Roderick As much as I like the garden, I find that I have to keep the amount of work within reasonable lirriits in: the Summer time, what with the heat and the general pace of work very,' diffiCult to maintain. It always ama.zes me ' therefore, when I see non.gardeners maintaining huge card to keep track of the sleeplawns. Now, it seems to me er~ach morning as your eyes that a lawn isa great deal just about, open your first harder to malntain' than a garden. For one thing' it cannot be attacked 'piecemeal as I attack my. garden, that is, an hour here and an hour there. .Lawns have got to be cut at regu'lar intervals and unless they' are done they turn into a mess.

A garden on the other hand ,.can 'be weeded at the homeowner's leisure. I find that I am able to keep my garden in reasonable shape with about 'an hour a day.

This may ,mean 15 minutes or so early in the morning,' 15 min· utes at lunch and a half hour after dinner. This kind of easy schedule leaves me free on' the weekend to do other things beside cutting a lawn.

Less Work in Garden' Several of my friends have told me that they spend each weekend laboring on their lawns. This seems to me to be ridiculous. A small garden 'would be far less work and' much more profitable. I think ttie problem stems 'from the fact that lawn growers feel that a garden is too difficult a'1 d they have visions of spending endI h ,ess 'ours fighting gigantic weeds., This is hardly the. case, especially if ,those same people who set up a regular routine for cutting their lawns would set up a similar routine for caring for their gardens.

There are several ways to start a little garden. First of all,' I wou Id suggest taking .an outof-the'-way .. spot which is difficult to mow and turning the . soil over in the. Spri.ng: Begin with a, small manageable plot. ,After the first year add several feet etc., until it ,is under control. In other words, don't bite .0ff more th an you can c h ew. In a sense, I have a similar situa.. Jion with a rock garden I have been working: on for several y~ars. Rather than overextendin,g myself, I have been adding about' 20 square feet per. year to a garden which lies on a slope. . The point of this is that a 'garden is easier to maintain t han a lawn because it is less demanding. I would like to see more people unleash themselves from the burden of the lawn and enjoy themselves more in the garden.

Sleep·ins . 'You've 'heard of sit-ins, and stand-ins, but I'm sure every mother in the area is familiar with another Summer 'favoritethe sleep-in. It begins something like this-'.'Ma, can I sleep over Susie's house tonight?" or the opposite version might corrie across as-"Ma, can Susie sleep over our house tonight."

This, I can't stand to be parted from my friends even to sieep, .attitude is fine if you have only one child but if you've been blessed with more than one there's a strong possibility that you may have to keep a score.

thought is "I wonder who slept . here last night" or perhaps, "Now let me think i:s everyone ,home or is one at grandmother's and one at a friend's."

For some strange reason (Ha, Ha,) no one asks Jason to sleep over- perhaps I should circulate the good report that his' grandmother. handed down the other day after. he did persuade ... her that he should spend the CHILEA~ R~PAIRS: Workmen 'struggle to dig out from the late~t Chilean earthnight.

The IIEighth Sacram.ent•..

Those of us who learned our catechism in the "pre-Vatican II era" of the Church may not remember every definition we so ardently memorized as children; but one glance at the title above HA~ prompted you to read this because, almost instinctively, you know there are only seven sacraments! Let's go one step further and test your memory . • . Question: "What is a Sacra-ment?" Do we not instinctively say; "A sacrament is an outward sign, instituted by Christ, to give grace!"

This is not a review lesson of the catechism,. but keeping that definition in minel , let us see why we can call today's Church -the missions- and our part in both, the eighth "sacrament."

Our "post-Vatican II vocabulary" comes, for the most part, from the DOCUMENTS OF VATICAN II. We read in the Document, ·THE CHURCH, that we are the "People of God"-the "messianic people." In more detail, the Document says: ' "God has gathered together as one all who in faith look upon Jesus as the author of salvation and the source of unity and peace, and has established them as the Church, that for each and all she may be THE VISIBLE SACRAMENT of this saving unity."

Think about what those words are saying about each one of us. We are the Church. And the Church is not just another fraternal-social-or cultural organization, but the visible, outward sign of Christ living and loving in us! And that TOGETHER we are, in the words of Vatican II, "a fellowship of life, charity, and truth ... a lasting and sure seed of unity, hope, and salvation for the whole human race." , Commenting on these thoughts alone could merit volumes.

But we would ask you to consider here only one specific point.

We know that the Church is more than a human institution; that regardless of its human frailties (and beauties), we share in the very Body of Christ today; and that each of us has a function-:a response to .make that is both personal and communal.

But whatever our individual vocations, life-styles, and responsibilities may be, we are all called to be witnesses and instruments in the serving and saving power of Christ, not just for our .families, our neighborhood, our own country, but for the whole world. Is this not our prayer each time we come together as God's People to celebrate the .liturgy? "Lord, may this sacrifice, which has made OUR PEACE with you, advance the peace and salvation of ALL THE WORLD." How do you put these words into action? Every time you sacrifice for the missions yOll are helping to advance the peace . and salvation of all the world. Missionaries are doing their part in the Mission we all share. The unique service and witness missionaries give are desperately needed for our world today-and to accomplish this-YOU are indispensable, for you are their only means of 'supportl We beg through this column for your Church's missionaries; we beg you to send a generous sacrifice for them that means more than a contribution to a worthy cause, for your gift is truly a personal expression of your life in Christ's Body, the visible "sacrament" of God's pe~ce and salvation for all men.

Please respond generously. Send your personal sacrifice with this coupon today!

Alive and with Us is dramatized by such stories.

While it is true that He is the great God who with a word creates the sun and stars, He is at home with us in our every day lives. He is closest when we are close to each other. Sha~ing food and fellowship is a common symbol of our unity with each other. The meal has, therefore, become a common religious symbol of union with God. This image, of God present with man at a meal reveals God as very close, an. intimate sharer in our lives, at home in our homes. Interestingly, the Gospels , portray the presence of Christ after His Resurrection at meals' with His friends-in the upper room, on the seashore of Galilee, at the inn in Emmaus. Christians celebrate the intimate presence

of the risen Lord' by gathering together for the Eucharistic meal. The Mass is the sacrificial meal which celebrates Christ's -\

use baskets which must be passed from one to the other than long-handled receptacles worked in and out more or less gracefully by well intentioned, but sometimes over-eager ushers. The former engages each parishioner more actively, more personally in the process.

Once the gifts have been collected, designated individuals (ideally a different family each week) carry the bread, wine, water, chalice, money (and per-"" haps some other symbolic offering) and present them to the celebrant.

It would be good if he, too, at this point, in clear view of the congregation, dropped his own envelope into the basket. The priest leads the commul)ity in worship and is entitled to their support, true, but he also stands as a member of it and would do well to contribute' his own fair share.

The celebrant now steps toward the center, speaks to, shakes hands with and accepts from the gift bearers their offerings. Those who bring the money itself might remain standing before the altar until the priest finishes the "Prayer over the Gifts," an oration designed precisely for that purpose.

They would then place the monetary offerings in some conspicuous location (but not on the altar itself, which would clutter the table and distract worshippers).

A final point. "The gifts on the altar and the altar itself may be incensed. This is a symbol of the Church's offering and prayer going up to God." In recent years we apparently have forgotten about the use of incense or judged it inappropriate for modern man. Perhaps we' discarded this ancient symbol too quickly and now should reconsider: Discussion Questions 1. Why do people object so much to discussions of parish money matters from .the pulpit?

2. How do you think asking for and offering of money should be handled in the Sunday liturgy?

Uruguay Releases Two Seminarians SANTIAGO (NC)-Two Uruguaya.n seminarians jailed for allegedly aiding Tupamaro gueril 7 las, arrived here as "tourists" after being given a choice of remaining in prison or leaving Uruguay.

They are Luis E. Sarnandu, a Capuchin student, and Mario Caceres, a seminarian from the archdiocese of Montevideo. They are living at the Capuchin convent and plan to continue studies at the Catholic University here.

They arrived with a group of eight Tupamaros who were given the same choice by Uruguayan authorities in June.

" Under the program, for example, a I3-year-old beggar in EI Salvador is being taught a useful trade; children of prisoners in Indonesia have been able to return to school, and in wartorn Nigeria, youngsters are back in classrooms, the NCCW disclosed.

Known as the Child-in-Need Program, the program is being financed through grants, thus far totaling $24,000. The work is being carried on by the NCCW in . cooperation with Catholic Relief Services, overseas aid agency of U. S. Catholics, in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Continued from Page Sixteen reminds us of the hidden mystery of God's constant love for us in Christ. It helps us remember that even in the intimacy of our home, God is present as one who cares about us, but one who is not just one of us. He is our God whose power permeates the entire universe and all its human mystery.

This biblical image is no definition or simple answer. P~rhaps it raises as many questions as it resolves. Most of all it chal<lenges us to look' at our experience and wonder as Jacob did centuries ago: "Truly the Lord is here although I did not know it" (Gen 28:16).

Need of Faith None of us will begin to recognize the presence of God in daily life without the attitude of openness and generosity exhibited by Abraham and Sarah, Martha and Mary. God does not force Himself on us" 'He enters only if we allow Him to come in.

Christians call this attitude of openness faith. Withou~ faith, neither you nor I will come to understand what God is like or to recognize Him in our lives. As Jesus says in the last book of the Bible: "Here I stand, knocking at the door. If anyone hears me calling and opens the door, I will enter his house and have supper with him, and he with me" (Rev .3:20).

Image of God· Continued from Page Sixteen light of our soul.

God is Wise Counselor. Far from ,being a jealous father who doesn't want to see his children grow up, God is perfect Wisdom urging us to take our stand as free men in a real world. The books of Wisdom say this frequently. Listen to God and y'ou will mature.

In conclusion, note that we now have six images to work with: Lord, Creator, Father, Holy Ground, Emerger, Wise Counseior. These acts of image stretching ought to provide you with a richer experience of the concern and nearness of our living God.

No Impact on Synod The'whole sorry censure mess, of course, doesn't mean a thing.

It' does not add one bit to the . power of the ACP and doesn't take one bit of power away from the bishops. It doesn't undo the Detroit mee-ting; it will 'have no impact on the synod and will not change anything at the next meeting of bishops.

It, was a foolish, worthless ex'ercise which provided something for the religious editors of the Chicago' papers (and,' it would appear, the national press, too), and for no one else. .

If that's the best that Chicago can do in the 1970s, I hang my head in shame.

Paulist Fathers ,Employing Novel Method to Attract Vocation's To attract youth to Church vo'Cations, the Paulist Fathers published what looks like an underground newspaper - a 16-page tabloid with brightly colored graphics spiced with four-letter words like cool and love.

Although hardly clandestine, the Paulist Free Press newspaper's casual and sentimental approach to the ministry-using youthful jargon-has brought about 350 letters of inquiry 'since its publication last Spring to ~a­ ther Donald Campbell. He is national 'director of vocations for the Paulists and executive editor of the Free Press.

A second edition is now being planned. "Originally the Free Press appeared as a one-shot vocation deal," Father Campbell told NC News. It was mailed to 100,000 homes of C;ltholic college students so that in addition to interesting them possibly' in the Paulists, "it could also serve as a general advertisement for the Paulist name because others in the home would see it."

"You know, novices are hard to come by so we have to do·'a lot of work to get them," he' said of declining vocations.

"Since the response was good, and not only from the fellows but their parents who like this approach of bringing religion to young folks, we thought we would prepare another one for Fall or semester break of' next year."

The front page of the first edition was reminiscent of an old time ad for patent medicine. A drawing of a bearded and bespeckled man, his Roman collar barely showing, said in a cartoon balloon caption close to his mouth: "Individuality is an integral and conspicuous element in the life of a Paulist. This must be so. The individuality of a , man cannot be too strong or his liberty too great when he -is guided by the Spirit of God." Father Hecker Speaks The speaker was the late Father Isaac ThomasHecke~, the Paulists' founder. The articles in ' the paper smacked of individuality. One, headed "Carrying it on," was written by Father Robert Benedetto who described his work among runaway teenagers. His article began: "Three years ago I became the first Catholic priest to 'runaway' to New York's East Village. Prior to that unforgettable day when I first moved into-.my pad on East Fourth Street,. I had spent seven rather routine years under normal priestly settings."

Education Division Issues Publications WASHINGTON (NC) - The division for adult education of the U. S. Catholic Conference announced the release of two new publications-"Reaching the Forgotten Adult" and "Financial Aid." The first is a 109-page summary of the adult education conference held this Spring at Dayton, Ohio.

The second is the first edition of a new monthly supplement to the division's Focus series. It outlines for private education programs what federal funding programs are open and how to apply for them.

Ne~s, New York archdiocesan newspaper, the vocation recruiters seem to agree that the "hard sell" is out. An advertising agency that handles several religious orders accounts explained that "the secret is to reach these young people on their own terms."

In fact, one ad agency convinced a vocations director for the Passionist Fathers that the best place for his ad. to ,appear -if he could afford it-was in Playboy magazine."

Croatian Native Marian Medalist DAYTON (NC)- Fat her Charles Balic, O.F.M. Conv., president of the International Marian Society, is the first recipient of the new Marian library Medal of the University of Dayton.

Father Balic, who is stationed in Rome, will receive the award during' the Internatio'nal Mario10gical"Marian Congress in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, Aug. 5-15.

The Marian Library,. with "more than 30,000 volumes related to the Blessed Virgin, is the largest center of its kind open to Marian scholars throughout the world. In addition, the library houses thousands of Marian magazines, clippings, statues and other works of art, films aQd slides, music, postage stamps and medals.

The Marian Library Medal was established as an award for outstanding Marian books in English in 1953. But in 1967 the library board decided to give the award only once every four years to a scholar who, in the judgment of an international body of experts, distinguished .t..

CHICAGO (NC) - Half the cases handled so far by the Chicago archdiocese's office of conciliation and arbitration have been complaints about the Church as an employer, according to the priest who heads the office.

Father Robert A. Reicher, sociology professor at Loyola University's Niles College and a veteran in the labOr relations fiefd, said the complaints came mostly from parishes,' schools and hospitals ~lI1d included charges like insufficient severance pay and Playboy magazine.

The archdiocesan office, celebrating its first anniversary this month, has brought 24 complaints to a formal, conciliation hearing. All but three of these were settled at that level instead of going on to binding arbitration.

The office also processed another 36 grievances informally, without a hearing, and handled numerous inquiries by phone or letter.

himself in the field of scientific Mariology. Father Balic will be the first to receive the new award..

Croatian Native Father Balic, born in 1899 in the Croatian section of Yugoslavia, was ordained to the priesthood in 1923. His doctoral dissertation at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, dealing with the Marian theology of Franciscan authors in the Middle Ages, marked the beginning of his recognition as a Marian scholar by his peers.

His works on the Assumption helped pave the way for the proclamation of that dogma in 1950. He founded the International Pontifical Marian Academy and for 20 years has been coordinator of international Marian congresses.

The Franciscan priest is ,author of many Marian books and articles. A bibliography of Marian works he has published either as an author or editor takes up more than seven closely printed pages in a volume on Marian theology.
