Priests' Councils Primarily Advisory [--------1 I

REV. DONALD WUERL Secretary to Cardinal Wright Commentator

Priests working together with and under the bishop in a diocese form a unity. This unity is much needed today.

This is the theological supposition taught by a Circular Letter on Priests' Councils issued by the Congregation ,of the Clergy in Rome.

The letter sets guidelines for ways of relating the experiences of priests to those of the bishop. The Osservatore Romano gave wide notice of the letter, and the many commentaries on it.

The Priests' Council is a structure that will visibly show the cooperation that exists between the Bishop and his priests.

The experience of already functioning priests' councils presents a variety of. possible organizations, all attempting to fill

An Anchor of the Soul, Su're a.nd Firm -

Must Help Pope Write New.Page of Salva'tion In a letter read last' Sunday throughout the Diocese announcing the annual Peter's Pence collection that will be taken up in all churches and chapels this coming Sunday, the Most Reverend Bishop asks the faithful of the Fall River Diocese to help Pope Paul write a new page in the history of salvation by giving him the means to go out to the poor and distressed.

Quoting the Pope, the Bishop writes that these new times in which we live demand new styles, and young people are touched not by fine words but by the leaven of truth, justice, liberty, progress, concord, peace and civilization which the Church has to offer.

The Bishop's letter follows: "New times demand new style.

In order to serve better, the Pope seeks to become better acquainted with situations, the wide world over." - Pope Paul VI addressing the Cardinals June 30th, 1970 Beloved in Christ: We are expected to think of, and pray for our Holy Father daily. Traditionally" the first Sunday of August brings us all an invitation to provide for his needs. It is not so much a matter of personal wants, but rather a determination that as Pope Paul goes, in person, to areas of poverty and physical distress, he may not be empty handed. The

words that follow are those of the Holy Father.

"In the long history of salvation, it is up to 'us, with God's help, to write a new page. We must renew the values that alone can mould the world in a spiritual rebirth. Far from bringing us to a halt, the difficulties of this task spur us to face it with greater zeal and generosity. Like St. Paul, we would be all things to all men for the sake of Christ."

"New times demand 'new style. In today's world, young people no longer believe in fine words. They see, with their intuition of rea.lity, and instinctive knowledge of the moral basis of situations, that in spite of speeches, armed conflicts are increasing frighteningly. Something is not working; as' it should. "We must reflect seriously to see if what is done in the world, even with goodwill, is effective enough, or whether greater courage in each of us is Turn to Page Fourteen ialllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll~

the vacuum left in the' wake of the Vatican Council.

The Circular hopes to bring some order and cohesion to many independent efforts. It intends to "make widespread a continuing exchange of views in the setting up of a Bishop's Senate from amon'g the clergy in a diocese."

The theological point quickly arises as to the authority of the Senate. "The entire program, of the Congregation's letter rests on the theological supposition that the priests working together with and under the bishop form a unity. The foundation for the cooperation seen in the document is the presbyterium."

The presbyterium is a union of priests.

Many Diocesan T eacher~ Study on Summer Grant~ The feeling among Catholic educators during the past year may have' been frustrating as state aid, shared resources and all types of plans were pushed aside, and a dire cry of "parochial schools must close" sounded forth.

However, according to the Reverend Patrick J. O'Neill "the summer sessions of the colleges are indicative of the continuing interest of our teachers in professional growth.

"A casual poll reveals that over 50 per cent of the teachers in our parochial system are pursuing courses this summer in

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived among us, suffered, died and rose again' to share his divine life with us. We are members of, the family of God, brothers and sisters of Christ and of one another and committed to share his life; his love and his truth with the whole world.

There are those who say that the reason that we built Catholic schools was' in order to defend our children from the Protestant influences of the public schools.

This is only partly true. This was not the main reason. We .built Catholic schools because we were convinced that in order to have a valid educational system it had' to be one which aimed at the formation of the human person, with respect· to his ultimate goal, the human person who learned the deepest meaning and value of all creation and how to relate it to the praise of God. Today's Need We need Catholic schools even more today. A Catholic school is one which must be guided and directed by men and women of faith-parents, teachers, pastors-and they create the atmosphere where a child can . witness and share in the faith lived in an adult community.

Our schools were built with great sacrifices, on the pennies, nickles and dimes of an immigrant people. Today some people question the validity and the prudence of our programs.

They wonder if it has been worth all the effort, all the sacrifices, all the money, all the suffering and dedication. Maybe we have forgotten the one thing that makes a Catholic school different: it is a .religiously oriented school and its aim is a person of mature adult faith.

This is what links us to the past and gives our schools their unique character.

I believe in Catholic schools because they provide the opportunity for the daily study of the truths revealed to us by 'God. There are those who minimize the importance of the formal study of religion. I am convinced that religious instruction given in a sequence and with methods appropriate to the age, ability and development of the child, is an, esssential ingredient 'in the education of a Christian. To this date we have not found a viable alternative to the Catholic school in providing such instruc-

s~udents.

Continued from Page One But why are they united? Because they have each answered the same call or because each faces the same obstacles and a united effort is needed?

"Since there is a sacramental bond uniting all men in Holy Orders, the presbyterium can claim a more substantial principle of unity than mere expediency." A true brotherhood, a supernatural relationship comes with ordination. The presbyteri· urn is an exoression of the unity of the priesthood.

Bishop: Father of Presbyterlum Priests are not so united independently of the bishop. As the principle and first priest of the local church, the bishop cannot be other than the father of the presbyterium. Priests and bishop have received the same call, an identical mission, a shared . priesthood.

"The presbyterium as a single body 'of priests necessarily includes the person of the bishop since he is the fullness of the' priesthood in the local church."

The Circular Letter ,wishes to express the unity by a different title. Instead of "the Senate of Priests" it opts for the "Senate of the Bishop."

Those priests "select~d to sp!'lak for the whole body' of priests do so, aware of their ministerial dependence upon and cooperation with the head of the local Christian community.

It is the result of this unity with the bishop that the individual priest shares in the mission that belongs to the. pre:.;byterium."

In the Scriptures and the Vatican Council two esssential notes stand out. "The priesthood is the extension of the bishop, and therefore, a unit that works in conjunction with him, .and it is a body or brotherhoqd one enters through ordination and therefore is a sacramental unity and not merely a functional entity." ' "When a man is ordained he enters' into a special relationship with Christ. This relationship is at one time personal a'1d' intimate, while at the same time public and shared.

"As a private relationship, it is the strength of his spiritual life. His ministry as a vital and lifegiving work springs from the 'face to face' knowledge of Christ that is his as a priest, one chosen.

"As a public and shared calling, the priesthood will have another side to it-a communal aspect." The priest is one called publicly to serve the Church. It is, a public, ministry and not a private call.

Father Wuerl, Osservatore comJ11eni"ator, when . speaking about priests as co-workers with the bishop: "The handing on of the priests mission and ministry is done within the context . of the' presbyterium. No matter what a priest does, if he does it as a priest, he does it as a member of the presbyterium. As he presides at the liturgy he does so as a member of the presbyterium, as one representing the bishop. When he absolves, it is not in his name and power that he gives healing and life. He is a representative."

He further states, "as a mem- .

ber of the body of priests, the presbyterium, he stands for the bishop. And as he stands for the the bishop, he does so for the Church. And since he participates in the call of the bishop through his own ordination, he becomes a true co-worker with the bishop. His office requires then that he be in a position to communicate to the bishop his own experiences that come from the exercise of the shared ministry. He must also be given a chance to share in the formulation of the terms in which the shared call is carried out."

Ultimate Responsibility The Circular Letter on Priests' Councils explains the responsibility of the council in the following words: "The context of the functioning of the council within a diocese is the fact that the bishop is ultimately responsible for the local Church. To the bishop is given the charge to teach, dire' t and make holy the Church in his care. This being the case; the untimate responsibility for the care of the local Church rests in his hands. He shares with all the priests the ministry and call to work for the Kingdom of God. But the Church still understands the' bishop as responsible before God for the welfare of the local Church."

It adds, "Priests' councils are set up primarily to assist the bishop and offer him counsel.

They do not direct the diocese.

They are advisory. The Congregation follows this fact with the indication that' priests' coun: ils are instruments of counsel and structures for advice. As the voice of the presbyterium, it takes precedence in matters 'pertaining to the sanctification of the faithful, doctrinal teaching and diocesan government' over other institutions also created .,to -give advice."

"However, to show the particular place that the presbyterium holds within the local church and to underline the responsible nature of its voice through the priests' council the letter proposes that for specific reason the bishop can designate a matter as one in which the council will have a deliberate say. This seems to emphasize all the more the unity of purpose and ministry that should exist within the presbyterium of each local church." ,Furthermore, "there can be no change in the esssential relationship of bishop and priests.

The mission and office of both is clear and indispensable. But here we are now confronting the question of the function Of a structure that is to mirror the priest-bishop relationship in practice. In this area it seems that,the most immediate effect will be to give a voice to a theological reality. By means of the priests' council the presbyterium as a whole will have some visible and concrete manner of ex- • pressing its opinion and experience.

"And as the presbyterium is made up of all the priests, each priest will have a neWly articulate tie with the bishop. Therewill be a new visible expreSSion of the cooperation that must exist between the two. The new structure should emphasize the co-work in the same mission that both have received. It should highlight their common endeavor in the work of the local church: And, perhaps most importantly, . its voice should bring to the local church the mature reflection of numerous experiences, points of view and opinions derived from various ministries and pastoral activities .in which the priests are involved."

BURLINGTON' (NC)-Disputing claims of overpopulation in the United States, Bishop Robert F. Joyce of Burlington said the real problem is an overconcentration of population in urban areas.

The bishop claimed the overconcentration now has plagued the nation with such problems as pollution, tensions, tax burdens, poor housing, health hazards, plus serious moral problems.

In his column in the Vermont Catholic Tribune, diocesan newspaper, Bishop Joyce recalled the words of U.S. Secretary of Interior Walter J. Hickel-"We don't have too many people. The trouble is that they're concentrated in the wrong places."

Bishop Joyce said 80 per cent of the 200 million-plus population of the country is crowded into cities which constitute about 10 per cent of the land area. He said under this arrangement there now are 11 acres of land for every man, woman and child in the U.S., "but most people live on only a few square yards."

"So the easy solution is offered of preventing life or destroying it," the bishop wrote.

"Respect for life, for human nature ,for profound human values and instincts, these are considered secondary and totally irrelevant. It is the old question of following the expedient way, of ignoring and denying any eternal moral principles whict-. interfere with our comfortable way of life."

Natural Moral Law The bishop said the country has been bombarded in recent years with much population explosion propaganda, "much of it based on loose thinking, with all kinds of connections with pollution, birth control, abortion and other current issues."

"Some of the propaganda is persuasive because it appeals to the desire for comfort and ease. It would make it a patriotic value, if not a demand, not to have childl·en. It would punish by tax laws those who have children, or those who have more than two," the bishop wrote.

"No thought seems to be given to the effects on the national economy, to say nothing of the natural moral law, human instincts, what becomes of human love and the survival of the nation," he added.

Parents Ask Bigger Schoo~ Role

QUEBEC (NC)-Quebec's Association of Catholic Parents met here with provincial premier Robert Bourassa in an_effort to get an increased parental voice in the. province's educational policies.

Louis Bouchard, association president, and 60 other members told Bourassa that Catholic citizens would no longer be content to be passive about the education of their children.

"The parents in the majority Catholic sector," Bourassa commented after the meeting, "seem determined to organize so that their ideas and philosophy of education are incorporated in the system rather than being constantly ignored or betrayed by it."

Specific demands include a halt to construction of any high schools holding more than 1,500 students and an elected board' of education.

LONDON (NC)-Three international Catholic agencies and the World' Association for Christian Communication are staking their claIms for wav.: lengths using th.. cOJnlllunications say:+ lites to secure a flow of Christian information around the world.

Father Agnf.llus Andrew, O.F.M., British president of International Catholic Association tor Radio and Television aDd Philip A. Johnson, executive director of WACC, told a London press conference they and two other Catholic organizations are setting up an Ecumenical Satellite Commission to help serve the peoples of the world in the field of satellite communi'cation, particularly in relation to the needs of developing countries.

The other two organizations are the, International Catholic Press Union and the International Catholic Film Office.

After a preliminary study carried out over tire next few months; the new commission will make 'recommendations and put in applications for wave lengths to the next Internati'onal Telecommunications Union meeting in June, 1971.

This conference is to discuss the redistribution of wave lengths and will assign frequency bands to various types of satellite services on a, regional basis throughout the world.

Allocations are usually made for long periods and cannot e'asily be changed. . The project has the full backing of the World Council of Churches and of the Pontifical Commission for World Justice and Peace.

Urge Hierarchy

Open Meetings IN ASHING CON (NC) - News llIedia repl'csen tati yeS told (l committee of bishops here that some sessions of the American hierarchy's national meetings should be open to the press.

Archbishop Francis J. Furey of San Antonio, Tex., chairman of a five·inember Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Press Covprage, had invited the media representatives by letter to present their views before the committee.

The question ot opening 1Ii!tional bishops' meetings to the press failed by one vote to reach a necessary % majority at the bishops' semi·annual meeting in San Francisco in April.

The temporary committee was appointed by Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, president of the United States Catholic Con· ference and the National Confer· ence of Catholic Bishops, to study the question for future meetings.

The committee will make no final decision on the matter but will present: its findings to the U. S. bishops as a whole.

"All the press representatives present were most cordial and expressed the hope that the press will be admitted to some of the bishops' meetings of the USCC," Archbishop Furey said after the meeting.

The committee chairman called the meeting "fruitful," adding: "It gave members of the ad hoc committee a real insight into the problems of the pre,s in their efforts to adequately cover the bishops' meetings,"

Nuns Plan to Close Home for Elderly GRAND RAPIDS (NC) Phasing out 86 years of caring for aged in this area, the Little Sisters of the Poor will close their home here in Michigan within a few months.

The decision was reached by Mother Cecilia, head of the Sisters' Baltimore province, and diocesan officials. Chief reason for the action, she said, was a personnel shortage within the community.

Diocesan officials assured new quarters in' area homes for elderly will be found for the 73 residents at the home. Mother Cecilia said the cost of renovating the property or replacing it with a new structure was not possible. The 11 nuns on the staff will be given new assignments, she added.

During the 86 years the Little Sisters have worked here, some 200 of them have cared for more than 2,000 aged, Mother Cecilia said.

In the not-too-distant future a bronze plaque will be affixed to the Spanish facade of the cathedral and booklets issued by the National Parks Services will be available to explain the selection of the edifice as a natitlnal landmark.

Report First Death Under New Law NEW YORK (NC)-First death from an abortion since the state's unrestrictive law went into effect July 1 was reported here by Dr. Milton Helpern, medical examiner.

The death of Mrs. Carmen Rodriguez in Lincoln Hospital touched off a reaction by the Young Lords, militant Puerto Rican group who claimed: "This is murder," Dr. Helpern certified the woman died from "the effects of an abortion," Dr. Richard Beaghler, associate medical examiner, said a heart ailment was a contributory cause of death. Mrs. Rodriguez, according to report, had a history of rheumatic fever when she was admitted to the hospital for the abortion. She reacted to a salt solution used in the operation, it was reported, and survived four days after the operation but was in a coma.

The Young Lords protested that physicians at the hospital knew the woman had a serious heart condition and failed to take "proper precautions,"

The Pope on the Church In asking 'support for the Peter's Pence collection, t~e' .Bishop quotes the words of Pope Paul' himself. The. Po'pe insists that the Church has the basics that modern, man,:so' longs for - peace and justice an4 truth and liberty apd civilization. And the Pope also insists that new times <temand new styles in order to serve man better. : So once again the Holy Father points out that the Church is at once a leaven of. Ul)changing spiritual truths and value~ and an organism of dynamic and' ev~rexpanding growth and vitality. . ' A true' concept of the Church embraces both realities.

Those who resist all change are making of the Churfh a static repository without growth which is the sign of life.

Those who cry fo'r change in all things are neglecting the fact that the Church is founded in truth and values that reflect the unchanging God whose instrument of salvati9n it is.

Challenge to Man Two geologists recently returned from studying the devastating earthquake that hit Peru at the end of M~y have determined that the .chunk of earth that shifted and initiated the tragedy was a mile long and three thousa!j1d , feet wide and traveled when it broke loose at over two hundred and fifty miles an hour. , This force of nature is one of the most powerful on . : recmd.

It also makes one realize how awesome nature is even when compared with the marvels of modern sciente I and technology.

The present heat wave in this area makes even the individual realize this. With demands for water and eleC-· trical power going up hour by hour, the great fear exists among officials that some' little old lady may press the final button or turn on the one final 'air conditioner that will push the strained electrical facilities beyond th~ir tolerance. ' It is a wondrous thing that the human spirit can meet and tame to some degree the forces of nature'. It 'is man's role to do this. But it is also a humbling thing for I man to know that he has not yet completely done so. Al1d when nature wants to put on her show-of force and power I and might, the challenge to man is fearful indeed.

Newark Man Forms Rightist Group NEWARK (NC) - An unsuccessful white candidate for Newark's mayoralty declared war on black' mayor Kenneth Gibson's month-old administration with an announcement that he was forming a conservative coalition "calling in the Birchers and evey· body else."

Anthony Imperiale, a self-described. white militant, said he formed the group because he believed a state of emergency existed in the predominantly ·black city following Gibson's election.

Imperiale said he would' try to arrange a meeting between members of his organiaztion and Newark's six white councilmen.

He emphasized that he would not meet with the city's three black. councilmen because they were "anti-white." dollar contract for th~ building of a new fleet of destroyers for the navy. A ship yard in Mississippi was recommended for the contract. The great shipyards of Bath and Quincy w~re swept under, the political rug. There seemingly was never a wimper from the Secretary of the Navy who is a New Englander. What makes this situation even more galling is that this southern shipyard was itself just completed.

It is unproven. ' The people of New England want a fair shake which they are not getting at the present time.

It is not a mere matter of being a sorry political loser when a man can't get a job or becomes unemployed. What comes first, the political party or the people?

What we are presently witnessing is the flagrant use of party patronage on a national scale.

This practice must be stopped.

The tensions and problems of domestic life in New England are being aggravated and inten· sified by such practices. The present federal administration is certainly not 'the sole 'cause of New England's woes but is sure-' Iy not helping the people of this area in their present social and economic difficulties,

Urges NllIrsingHome Heads Shape New H'ealth Care Guidelines ST. LOUIS (NC)-More than 100 of the nation's Catholic nursing home administrators meeting here ','Jere urged to take leadership roles in shaping new federal guidelines for the health care of the nearly one million persons in nursing homes today.

"We have a clear responsibility to our patients and community to become the leadership voice in shaping the guidelines which government is just now beginning to formulate," said Msgr. Harrold A. Murray at a five-day institute sponsored by the Catholic Hospital Association.

The monsignor, director of the department of health affairs for , the United States Catholic Conference, pointed to five areas of nursing home administration and patient care which he predicted will be among those soon to come under regulation or expanded control by state and federal government.

These areas are: enforcement of existing requirements for participation in Medicare; licensure of administrators; licensure and ratio requirements for nursing and semi-professionals; .drug administration controls; dietary services and inspection.

Government controls, Msgr.

Murray said, "need not be necessarily burdensome" although "some of you may resent them as an unfair indictment, a lack of trust, a lack of gratitude for doing the best job possible when there was no government support."

But, as "leaders in personalized, sensitive care, we have little to hide," the monsignor told the administrators and others at the institute.

Government Concern The administrators came from throughout the country to attend sessions led by John T. James and designed to prepare them for testing and licensure as required July 1 by federal law.

James, executive secretary of the Conference of Health Services for the Aging, CHA, explained that the institute was "primarily for our bwn religious" who often times assume the task of nursing home head with little preparation.

In Msgr. Murrav's explanation of possible future legislation that will also affect the administrators, he explained the basis for the government's concern in nursing home care.

Government subsidized Medicare and Medicaid account for a total of $1.8 billion or threefifths worth of nursing home care each year, Msgr. Murray said. "As a major purchaser of the product, government. is demanding something to say about its production," he said,. adding: "The aged have become a maJor recipient of health care purchased by Uncle Sam. They' receive four times as much care as the under 65 population and' Medicare alone paid for nearly half of the total personal health care expenditures for those over 65."

Author'· Explains' Excl.usion

The Fall River Diocesan C;oun'cil of Catholic Nurses, Mary E. McCabe Nursing Scholarship Fund has announced the names of four winners who \vill receive $100 each towards their nursing training education.

Of W orne'n 'From S'anctuary I just read one of the silliest statements I ever saW -and it even carried an "ecclesiastical approval"! Tije article was about the recent changes in the liturgy, and specifically the increased role of the laity. It explain~d the importance of the parts i down to a carefully worded form.

I d b h p aye y t e comme~tator, Along with all the regulkr the reader, the ushers and qualifications, there could be! a the servers. standard set for· size. Just ~s The author should have quit while ahead. The next section was titled "What of the Women?" (U~til asked, I hadn't given it a thought.)

The writer explained the reason women are excluded fro.m the sanctuary is not any desire

to keep th~m "second class citizens." (I didn't know they ever had been.)

The article goes on to give the real reason . . . are you ready for this? It says, "It resuits from a simple fact of human nature. As everyone knows, a beautiful .girl or woman .tends to attract the eyes and attention of the men around her. If you put a group of pretty girl servers in the silnctuary, the men in the congregation might have a difficult time attending . to the liturgy . . . and the girls might well be thinking of their appearance rather than their prayers.'"

Really??!!

If that's the reason, they can always use ugly women, or stand pretty ones behind a screen' . . . or put 'bags over their heads!

Or suppose the beautiful girl didn't take her hair out of rollers" and didn't bother to put on her make-up, could she then evoke good spiritual thought from the men?

'Eyes Front' On the other hand, when a chorus line is on· stage how many men are watching the gal ·across the aisle? Possibly if we moved all the attraction into the sanctuary, it' could cause a whole "eyes front" trend.

If their minds are only 'on the pretty girls anyway, it would seem their thoughts would be a little closer to the altar if they were thinking about the girls up fro'nt instead of the ones who just slid into the pew behind.

However, if the pressure is brought to bear, and women want to push for the right tc) be in the sanctuary, applicants for the job could be cut way

Real Problem BURLINGTON (NC) - Bishop Robert F. Joyce, disputing claims of overpopulation in the United States, said th.e real problem is an over-concentration of population in urban areas. The Vermont prelate claimed the overconcentration now has plagued the nation with such problems as pollution, tensions, tax burdens, poor housing, health hazards, plus serious moral problems. , '

beauty contest applicants. ~fe evaluated by their sta~lstJCs, there could be a requirement fbI' altar girls that all three nudlbel's· match.

Remain Outside :.

If a girl doesn't meet the si*e requirements, then they could require she get 25 people 'jn the parish to swear that she is absolutely the ugliest girl in town, and could not possiblyexcite any other thought fro in the congregation except possibly, "God help her." !

This justification of womenl's exclusion went on to explain that under certain conditions, ~s in convents or at women's retreats, women could participate if they remained outside the altar rail. I wonder how 'the Si~ters feel about that? , Are they really less attracti'{e outside the altar rail than lif , they go two steps 'inside? We'Ve had some pretty good looking nuns running around the play. ground with the children. Does the explanation imply that th~y have the uglies if they are asked to read a scripture? i Exclusive Privilege And another question: are men so much more apt to tie distracted by appearance of. the' opposite <>sex than womena:'r~?

You' can get another 'view on that "fact of human nature" tly observing who flocks arourtd any time a handsome yourig priest stops in the churchyard.

When the suave young man ascends the pulpit, I doubt if every feminine member of tlle congregation observes only his spiritual prowess. : I have no quarrel with tlle decision that women shouldnl't be on the altar. It makes no difference to me. I can be as clo~e to God whether I'm on the altar, in the congregation or in my own kitchen. .

I My objection is simply thll-t there must be a better reason.

You could tell me it was because all the apostles choseh

by Christ were men. Or, you, . could give me some other re~­ son that's just as logical. Or, I'd even settle for my own beliefFrankly. I've always thoug~t only men could become priests because God had already giveh an exclusive privilege to womert.

,One-Night Stand Youngsters Hard Work Raises $108.77 For Peru Rei ief ALBANY (NC)-Countless organizations the world over poured millions in' cash, medicines, clothing and other relief materials into Peru since May 31 when an earthquake, avalanches and floods amassed a death toll of 50,000 and left nearly a million homeless.

'~'Everyone put up signs in store windows. Some people even' gave us money or prizes.

Everybody brought something to sell or did something," related Chris Miller, 11.

For Relief Fund . Said Maureen O'Brien: "The thing that made the most money was the Hero 'contest. Everyone could vote for who their hero on the block is. The winner was the boy who got the most money. Every time you voted you put money in a jar with his picture on it. We made almost $50 on that contest. One boy only got 32 cents, but, another got more than $11 worth of votes. But he voted for himself . an ,awful lot."

But none, pernaps, could match the enthusiasm, hard work and vitality put into the effort by a group of 20 'youngsters in St. James parish here.

They staged a carnival for Peru relief. There were games, ,refr:eshment, entertainments and sh,outs of: "Toss your pennies here for Peru."

"Fresh homemade pizza, only 15 cents."

"See the gypsy fortune teller.

Only a nickel and it all goes to Peru."

Patrick Ellis, 12, ran the penny-pitching game. ,When it was all over he said: "I thought we might make maybe $30."

Six Sournern Schools Win Tax-Exempt Statu~ WASHINGTON (NC) - Internal Revenue Service officials here announced that the I.R.S. had granted tax-exempt status to six private Southern academies in return for the schools' promise not to discriminate on the basis of race.

Under the new rule, donations to the schools may be deducted from the donor's income tax.

The private academies, many of them set up to avoid public school integration and most of them operating on a narrow financial margin, had been threatened with loss of taxexempt status unless they agreed to drop racial bars.

Vi,ctoria,n Furniture Adds Character to Modlern Hom路e I'm sure that you're as tired of reading about the midi as I am writing about, it; Therefore this week I felt that we all needed a change of pace. Let's talk about fashions in furniture. If you've had any contact at all with antiques lately you know that this is sought after. Any period one furniture fashion that is so pieces earlier than the Victorian fast pricing itself right out era are only for the Jackie O's of the range of Mr. or Mrs. of the world.

Average Citizen. Let me tell you a story of my latest experience at a local auction.

One of my college friends, Brad Sherman, is a very active auctioneer in the Westport area and each Summer I look forward to attending at least one of his

auctions. When I couldn't attend the first auction of the season I felt quite badly but when Brad told me that he had a very special one coming up I looked forward eagerly to attending that one.

The evening before the auction Joe and I (and a couple of the kids) traveled to Westport to view the articles. While I was admiring a couple of. Victorian side chairs and some lovely glass Brad called my attention to a chair that was sitting in a location that could only be called "center stage," "How do you like that chair, Mal?" asked my friendly auctioneer.

"Okay, I guess, but it real1y wouldn't look good in my house," (little did I realize that this was the understatement of the year) was my very intel1igent reply.

"But Ma, it's an original Chippendale," said Brad. By this time his voice was rising a bit in deference to my stupidity.

One ChaIr - $2000 Never one to be known as a "quick study" I again replied that I thought it was nice that it was an original Chippendale but it still wouldn't blend with my furnishings. By this time Brad was too exasperated to answer.

Needless to say I too was a little exasperated (at my own lack of knowledge) when at the auction the next morning said chair went for the tidy little sum of $2000.

There is a growing market for antiques and because of this the prices for them are climbing higher and higher, way beyond the reach of the ordinary buyer.

This is one of the reasons that Victorian furniture is becoming

Catholic Weekly Fails After 18 Issues NOTRE DAME (NC) - Four months ago, AD 1970 was launched here to succeed the 105~year-old and faltering Catholic weekly Ave Maria. Now AD itself is on the canvas, taking the count after publishing only 18 issues.

In its place, nothing is planned.

Lay members of the weekly's staff have been fishing for an angel willing to pick up the tab, but none has appeared and now staff members,granted severance pay by AD 1970 publisher Ave Maria Press, are out looking for jobs.

Buys Victorian After surviving the initial shock of being present at an auction where one chair sold for $2000 I was -barely able to bid on the two carved walnut Victorian side chairs that I had set my heart on the night before.

But bid I did and I did become the owner of them for a pittance in comparison to the earlier sale. 路In fact, my purchase price for these two chairs wouldn't be able to purchase one of the fungs of the Chippendale.

However, they did go with the rest of my furniture and I was very happy at the purchase. In fact, these two chairs are so' ugly and filled with so much character that I don't doubt that they'll be a conversation piece for many a year.

Actually once you get beyond the gargoyle heads on the arms of the Mr. chair you find that they blend very wel1 with Spanish furnishings.

Price Increases Victorian furniture-or Second Daroque, as it is often cal1edcomes from the era (circa 1830 on) when many families bought furniture through mail-order catalogues and the order of the day was ornate.

Many people have inherited this type of furniture mote than any other period of early Americana; and those of us who have disposed of many of' these inherited items will be kicking ourselves as even the price for this "Cinderel1a of Antiques" goes up.

In today's modern homes too much Victorian furniture would be stifling but a few pieces do seem to add character; and it certainly is a lot cheaper than Chippendale.

.Hear Grievances In Church

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Members of the official CatholicReformed Presbyterian dialogue commission announced here that the group has opened a study of the role of women in the churches.

"We have begun to study," the theologians reported in the Summer issue of Temple University's Journal of Ecumenical Studies, "by listening to a cataloguing of many grievances by two female leaders within our respective churches-one a Roman Catholic and one a United Presbyterian.

"We have found the evidence of discrimination based upon sex to be so substantial that we are obliged, being led, as we believe, by the Holy Spirit, to confess our guilt as members of our respective churches and as members of our social order."

WASHINGTON (NC) - The motion picture industry and the nation's theater owners have asked the U. S. Supreme Court to guarantee movies the same freedom from censorship now The theologians' statement given book and magazine pub- promised to "create new patterns lishers. of life wherein women will exIn an apparent move to pre- perience no disadvantages by vent states from banning movies reason of their sex" and added: scheduled for national release, "Christian women must be the Motion Picture Association of America and ,the National . welcomed into decision-making Ass 0 cia t ion of Theater positions within the church, Owners filed a friend-of-court must participate fully and freely brief in the case before the high in the priesthood of all believers, tribunal involving whether the and it is our' belief that further Swedish movie "I Am Curious st'l1dy should be given to the ordination of women to the spe(Yellow)" is obscene.

Issued after the commission heard testimony from two women,: ~ist~r Anile Dunn, I.H.M., and Mrs. Margrethe B.J. Brown, the statement reflected the belief of members of the two churches' dialogue sections on worship and mission.

In a separate statement issued by the commission's theology section and devoted to the ministry, members made another plea for the ordination of women.

Pointing out that the churches' involvement in human life frequently means religious practice is largely conditioned by historical circumstances, commission members admitted that churches have mirrored woman's ambiguous position in the world.

"Many women today feel strongly that they wish to share fully in all human responsibilities," the statement continued.

"It is therefore incumbent upon the churches to respond creatively to this insistent demand.

Such a response would involve the opening of areas of ministry and emphasized that practical considerations made this step necessary while theological considerations made it possible."

Finnish Lutherans Break With Synod HELSINKI (NC)-The Confessional Lutheran Church of Finlantl has decided to break with the Lutheran Church's Missouri Synod in the United States.

The Finnish Church said it had decided on the break because the Missouri Synod decided, at its. assemblies in 1965, 1967 and 1969, to accept into its doctrine new, loose ecumenical principles that were contrary to its former confessional standpoint.

The' Missouri Synod, the second largest Lutheran Church in America, with 2.7 million members, is the leader in the conservative group among Lutherans.

Colleges to Face Higher Insurance Policy Rates WASHINGTON (NC) - Aftermath of last Spring's campus turmoil has brought numerous investigations, both public and undercover, to determine why trouble occurred as well as to gauge what may happen when college enrollments reach a peak again this Fall.

There are no signs that the efafects of the ,disturbances will be quickly abated or shortlived.

While the President's Commission on Campus Unrest delved into the mental quagmire of un~ answered questions about the origin and effects of the recent campus disturbances, the campus itself faced the most pragmatic results of that disorder and unrest.

Hitting the nation's colleges and universities soundly in the pocketbook are insurance companies which have raised policy rates for protection of the physically damaged educational fortresses.

'Arrogant Students' The schools also face the realization that they are to remain the prime focus of investigation this Fall.

Unrest and violence are expected to continue on the campus as long as "snobbish, arrogant students regard the American people as an enemy in their efforts to solve social problems," the commission on unrest was told in its recent hearings.

Making his prediction before a packed public Senate gallery was Steven Kelman, young Harvard grad~ate and author of "Push Comes to Shove."

Kelman, national president of the Young People's Socialist League, said that while national divisiveness has yet to reach the point of no return, he has yet to find "optimistic signs!" that the polarization would be overcome.

Soaring Costs While the commission heard testimony, a proposal was advanced internally calling for federal arbitration of college disputes through creation of a national education mediation board.

It would take more than arbitration, however, to rescue campuses from the grip of soaring insurance costs. Even schools that have' not experienced damage or turmoil say they are no longer getting the preferred rates they once enjoyed. Many schools are covered by blanket policies lumping together insurance and damage from fire and vandalism.

"The predictability has gone out of college insurance. It's kind of like selling a man a home-owner's policy when you realize he's going to start making dynamite in his basement," said Donald H. Garlock, senior vice-president at Insurance Company of North 'America, which insures 300 colleges and universities.

Has Limited! Concern .With Catholics EVIAN-LES BAINES (NC) The new president of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) said here in France that his concern with Catholic-Lutheran relations has been limited by the small number of Catholics in his homeland.

In his first press conference after being elected Mikko Einar Juva of Finland said the fact that there are only 2,500 Catholics in Finland has limited his concern.

Plan Dscussions -. :On Church Unity

~'

PRINCETON (NC) - Officials of the Protestant Consultation on Church Union announced plans here for a 12-city series of regional interpretations designed to outline to church members the design for merging nine major Protestant denominations.

The interpretations, scheduled between Sept. 15 and Oct. 30, will take place in Atlanta, Boston, Columbus, Ohio, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Memphis, Minneapolis, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle and Washington, D.C. At the meetings, church members will have a chance to review plans to unite 25 million Protestants in the propMed Church of Christ Uniting. The new church would be led by bishops with clergy and members organized into parishes and congregations.

If plans go ahead as predicted, the Church of Christ Unitcould be in operation by JOIN 'EM: Some Chicago policemen have decided that if you can't beat 'em, join ing 1980. . em,. and are featuring signs on their cars saying "Pigs are beautiful."

lP~a []1

Five or six years ago my colleague, Peter Rossi, and I began to wander around the offices of government and private funding agencies saying that somebody ought to be studying American ethnic groups. The project officers were polite and courteous, or even as "hard hat but one could catch the 'look ethnics" ethnics." of bafflement in' their eyes.

As much of a surprise as it Obviously, the two of us had' may be to those who have sudflipped (in fact, Rossi had flipped when he started hanging around with a Catholic priest).

Everyone knew that American ethnic groups were rapidly vani.shing from the scene and that ihey had no pertinence at all ~o the social life of the cOI.nitry.

By ll~V.

ANDRIEW LVi-II!!::;:

GiUl:lEY

At this point, my crafty Florentine ally and I are enjoying the marvelous irony of the situation. For now the funding agencies are demanding that someone come up with "programs" to cope with the "white ethnic problem."

Alas, nobody has the information necessary to root such programs in sound sociological I<npwledge. This will not, of course, prevent the programs from coming into existence; it will just substantially lower the plausibility of their being effective.

As another ethnic, Mr. Moynihan, has pointed out, the American way of doing things seems to be to dash into a "problem area," make all kinds of mistakes, and then discover that we really didn't know what we were about.

There is nothing especially wrong with such a procedure save that it generates a lot of frustration and wastes a great deal of money.

'Social Problem' Americans who identify with one of the ethnic nationality groups are, I suspect, a little baffled at their sudden rediscovery. by the liberal and academic elites of the 'country, and they are properly ambivalent about this rediscovery. It is flattering to know that people recognize that you exist, but it is consideralby less than flattering to be told that you are a "sociai problem."

Most of the children and grandchildren of immigrants do not think of themselves as a social problem and have enough memory of what it was like when they first came to this country to know that being a social problem is not a good thing; it means that all sorts of well meaning liberal do-gooders will descend upon you with moralistic gleams in their eyes and elaborate programs for your social improvement.

The Americans of ethnic background rather' properly do, not think that they are an appropriate object for such missionary zeal, and they are quite convinced that the last thing they need is social improvement.

Want No lHelp They also are, X suspect, rather offended by the fact that they are thought of as "blue coliaK' ethnics" or "working class

denly rediscovered the Poles, the Italians, the Germans, the Irish, the French, the Scandinavians, a very considerable number of these groups are college.'educated professionals and do not relish -being thought of as "blue collar" or as "hard hat" much less being stigmatized . with the title, "white ethnic racist."

Indeed, some of the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren of immigrants economically and socially do not even fall into the mythological category of "middle America"; and most of them do rnot need or want help from anyone.

Potentially Harmful , Most ironic of all, at least to my cynical viewpoint, is the rediscovery of white ethnic groups by the messianic members of Catholic social action movements who not so long agp were only too willing to denounce people who shared the same background with them as bigots and racists. The blacks have made clear to these selfanointed messiahs that they (the blacks) no longer have any need of their services.

The logical thing' to do is to discover. another "oppressed" group that needs their le.adership. The approach would be hilariously funny if it was not so pathetic and so potentially harmful.

One uses the same' perspective, the same rhetorical style, and the same set of programs that one used with the blacks, the Mexicans, and the Puerto Ricans, only now one changes the words and uses "white ethnics" instead of black.

Famous Statement Ethnos, the new newsletter of the Urban Taskforce of the United States Catholic Conference, is a classic example of the style of white-ethnic-as-social-problem; and, if one is to judge by the New York Times account of the recent Urban Taskforce conference on white ethnic groups, much of the atmosphere of that conference was of the same sort.

Indeed, the comment of a participant in the conference ttiat in a couple of years white ethnics would have the same kind of ethnic selfconsciousness as blacks must certainly rate as one of the all-time fatuous statements of the century-nicely calculated to offend everyone.

Blacks could legitimately' be angry at the thought that there are other groups in American society to "have to catch up" with them and white ethnics could be every bit as much offended at the thought that they do not have any self-consciousness or pride. They have had it for a long, long time and they do not need the Url:ian Taskforce of the United States Catholic Conference to discover it for them.

Have Much in Common White workers with income under $10,000 in the United States have fairly serious economic and social problems, and something should be done to ease their lot, but by no ·means do all ethnics !iall into such categories and by no means

T e~ephone Counsel Service

CLEVELAND (NC)"- A tele", phone counseling service to advise women against having abortions is being organized here.

Mrs. Thomas Warneka, chairman of the Women's Committee of the Ohio Right to Life Society, said the service will be patterned after a program in Canada and some parts of the U. S., called Birthright.Birthright, she said, will counsel both married and unmarried women.

Volunteers will staff a telephone daily to offer encouragement, moral guidelines and referral to agencies.

Mrs. .Warneka said that so far the committee includes doc-

Several Protestant, Jewish and Catholic community-based ,organizations and agencies have pledged their help, she added.

Mrs. Louise Sommerhill, who founded Birthright two years ago in Toronto, Canada, told the Cleveland group that in one recent month Ule organization helped dissuade 140 women from ending their pregnancies.

Mrs. Warneka said the service is needed now to counteract a pro-abortion telephone service.

She said the weakening of abortion laws in some states is certain to make more women con· sider abortions.

everyone in that category, is ethnic. The sooner that rather simple distinction is clear in the minds of all the do-gooders, the better off American society will be.

I happen to think that ethnic identification, ethnic loyalty, is not a social problem at all but 11 social asset; a means for integrating the social structure of the city instead of tearing it apart. I happen to think that middle class Poles and middle blacks have far more in common with one another than they realize or the mass media and the liberal messiahs are willing to let them know.

And one thing they have very much in common is the realization that it is not a good thing to be defined as a social problem, or as someone who needs "social welfare."

Perhaps, however, both groups will be tolerant of the good intentions of the bright-eyed social actionists. After all, they have to do som~thing.

Good Company, Big Cqtch Make' ~i~hing' Enjoy'able

By Mariyln

an~ ,Joseph

Roderick

About once a year'I manage to set aside a day for a "fishing, trip" with my father and his cohorts and tQis year w'as no exception. These are dedicated fishermen and are as knowledgeable about their hobbies as any men ;in the area. If there are fish to and food was a j~y to prep~re be had, the combined experi- and a pleasure' to eat.

I ence and know-how of the In modern times when we three men will result in an lean more and more on conveabundant catch. In addition to my father the two men William' Charves, aged 74, who has been fishing for 'as long as he can remember and who still, claims to experience as much of a thrill with his present catches as he did years ago. The other member of the crew and the real professional is Joseph "Joker" Pacheco, a younger man, but one who makes makes up for his relative youth with a consuming interest.

Ready to Cast This year I was told that we were going for mackerel and since I had never fished for Mackerel I looked forward to it with some anticipation, having listened, to my father give me reports of schools of mackerel which were so plentiful that one could not drop a line fast enough to catch them. .On the eventful day we arose at the impossible hour of 3:30 in the middle of the night, packed a lunch and were on our way by 4:15. By 5 we had picked up the other two 'men, loaded the , car with fishing gear, foul-weather gear, burlap bags, and the endless accroutrements of the fisherman, including the bulky but essential outboard motor.

By 6:15 we were in Manomet, just outside of Plymouth, and by 7:15 we found ourselves out in , the ocean ready to cast out our , 'first jig. .

Mackerel fishing is done with a bamboo pole to which is attached a jig. The jig is shining weight which has three small hooks appended to it. The jig is tossed into the water and made to jump by a quick upward movement of the arm and the mackerel take the hO,ok thinking it to be small fish.

This makes for, very ,efficient, speedy fishing since there' is no delay in baiting etc" which takes the novice so long to learn.

Patient Companions At any rate we were on the water for approximately four hours and finding ourselves with a boat load of fish and in the middle of a school of mackerel we were given the word by Joker that our fishing day was ended.

In four hours we had managed to catch, approximately 500 pOl,lnds of fish and we were all thoroughly' exhausted. I have never caught so many: fish in my life and was frankly overwhelmed, although my fellow fishermen were not overwhelmed by their experience.

'However, as nice a part of the day as any other, was the patience with which all three men responded to my ignorance.

No matter how badly my line got fouled or, how many times mr. Jig got tangled they were qUIck to allow for my ignorance with tolerance and forebearance which never once smacked of condescesion.' .

In the Kitchen Every now and then we long to return to a bygone era when life was lived at a much 'slower pace, meals were meant to be enjoyed (not rush~d through)

nience foods and quickie meals it is good for the soul and the digestion to come across a cobkbook that treats preparing f.qod 'as'an art-and art practiced with love and care and of course the best of ingredients. The Best of Shaker Cooking is just such: a book.

Published by The Macmillan Co. and written by Amy Bess ,Williams Miller and Persi~ W~lI­ ington Fuller, this charming c,ollection of recipes has a short "appreciation" (history) of the Shakers. If you were as unknowledgeable 'as I concerning 'this amazing group of people ~ou will thoroughly enjoy reading this part of the book but basically it is a cookbook, and a v~ry good one at that.

"The Shaker, sisters were taught to regard their endless labors as a fitting opportunity to serve God," state the authors as they go on to tell the reader that Shaker food was cooked with "refinement and professibnal skill" because of the la~ge numbers of people that they had I to cook for.

Recipes in this· book, thou~h, are scaled down and most: of them are scaled II-to serve four or six people.

,What I personally enjoyed 'about this cookbook is that the recipes are built around the natural foods that grow in New England. Corn soup, beets in honey sauce, cranberry bread and ciqer pudding are just a few of the recipes that call for ingredients i familiar to our area.

Fudge batter pudding, firmity, ' cheese crumpets, and tomato pie are just of the few unusual, recipes that are found within the covers of this book and that I haven't come across in any other recipe book ; While I wouldn't recommend' this book to a novice cook' I would recommend it highly for an experienced cook who loves to feed her family and enjoys nothing more than good New England cooking.. The price, $10, makes it a gift cookbook~he that would be a joy to receiVe and an equal joy to give. i With all the blueberries arouhd this season no one can resist looking for a new recipe for their favorite fruit. This one from the Shaker cookbook is quite unusual but delicious.

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, yo'ur 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 who recognizes the material needs of his family. Selection in a cemetery dedicated to the faith he has followed all his life is the sign of a religious mana 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 beauty. In the last few years Catholic mausoleums 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 maintain the mausoleum.

The sad and frantic final years of the Saturday Evening Post are recreated in Otto Friedrich's Decline and Fall (Harper and Row, 49 E. 33rd S.t., N.Y., N.Y. 10016. $10).

Barcelona lPo~ice Seize Magazine BARCELONA (NC) - Police here have seized 1,000 copies of a Catholic magazine, charging that an article on the working class was in violation of th~ country's press law.

The police action came a few days after newsmen held an emergency meeting in Madrid to protest what they called an alarming increase in press controls.

Sentit, the magazine ~onfis­ cated by police here, is the organ of the Barcelona diocesan Catholic Action movement. The suppressed edition was edited by laymen, but had been approved

by Church censors.

The article the government found offensive was entitled "Working Class Culture Today: Hope and Frustration." ,

F arm Workers' Representative Tells

THE ANCHORThurs., July 3D, 1970

'S("andalous' Condi.tions of Mi.grants WASHINGTON (NC)-Rodolfo Juarez went into the fields at age five-a migrant worker living in poverty and squalor, seeing little improvement over the years.

His familiar story of poor, bleak living and labor conditions facing most of the natioJ'!'S million migrants was told here to Sen. Walter F. Mondalf' (D. Minn.).

Mondale, who has been holding hearings about the migrant's situation, asked Juarez if things had gotten "substantially better" in recent years.

"No," Juarez told Mondale's subcommittee on migratory labor, "housing is not better, food is not more plentiful. With the migrant worker, you name itthe whole society is against him."

"When did you first start working as a migrant," Mondale asked Juarez, now executive director of Organized Migrants in Community Action, a Florida farm workers' organizing group.

"I was five," Juarez said.

Migrant Cycle Mondale asked if employment or agriculture agencies helped farm workers know where jobs are available-or more importantly, for migrants traveling hundreds of miles for workwhere jobs no longer exist.

"I have never seen any effort by any state or federal agency to inform or assist migrant workers in any state I have been in," Juarez ·said.

"I think that's scandalous," Mondale said. .

He expressed similar dismay when testimony in recent hearings revealed that migrants are: Plagued by disease, ,neglect and deprivation. , 'Exploited by TexaS politicians and huge corporations.

CHICAGO (NC)-..:Father Rollins E. Lambert, assigned to St. Dorothy's Church here two years ago after parishioners demonstrated to get a black priest, has been transferred at his own request to a job as Catholic chaplain at the University' of Chicago.

A white priest, Father James T. Sweeney, will replace Father Lambert at St. Dorothy's. Father Lambert added that he sought the new assignment because he believed the chaplaincy would give him more time to perform other duties than he had as a pastor. ..,.",'.,'.,

He said that it's standard hospital procedure to require a cash deposit before hospital admission in many places, placing "an impossible burden upon those least able to afford the high cost of being. sicl{'," His testimony was supported

by Dr. Harry S. Lipscomb, of Houston, Tex., who called physicians and hospitals apathetic toward the poor and urged them to develop local health programs to care for migrants.

The physician's fee or promise of future charges "constitute!> the single most significant barrier in the minds of the poor to their seeking early medical treatment," he ·said.

"One way or another we have to help them get over the initial hurdle," he said, adding that "we have to grubstake them until they are able to get into th~ mainstream on their own."

Director

CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati has restated his endorsement of the boycol't of non-union table grapes and called on Catholics Hnd Cathlic institutions to "re路 double their efforts" in support of the California grape workers.

"In line with previous statements by (retired).. ~rchbishop Karl J. Alter and myself in support of the organizirig efforts of California grape workers, I wish to bring to the attention of the community the fact that Cincinnati has recently received large shipments of non-union grapes which are now being sold in our local markets.

"We wish to .restate om' support of the boycott against such non-union grapes," the archbishop stated.

"The recent success of the grape workers in securing a number of collective bargaining agreements only reinforces our support of the movement. Union grapes are now available and clearly labeled. For the most part, however, it seems that they are being shipped to markets where previous boycott attempts have been more successful than was the case in Cincinnati~" he added.

He warned Catholics that apparently Cincinnati is a "dumping ground .for the non-union grapes" and urged redoubling of efforts to exclude such nonunion grapes from the area.

Huts A~tg路School AQd Statement WASHINGTON (NC)-The executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men charged. here that a lay group's opposition to public. aid for Catholic schools left that organization and its members "open to ridicule."

Martin H. Work said that a National Association of Laymen resolution "against putting tax funds into a secret organization that never divulges what it does with its money or documents the need for financing" seem to be "a vicious and harmful means to achieve goals that may be good in themselves."

Work urged that the debate over public aid to Catholic schools be considered on what he called the weighty merits of the case. He warned that the debate should not be used as a lever to achieve internal Church reform.

"Neither the government nor the tax dollar," Work added, "must be used as a weapon in the internal power politics of one group of laymen'" .., ':' 'Private Issue' "The survival of the private system of education is a serious public issue-the style of Church accounting and decision-making processes is a serious private issue." ' Commenting on Work's statement,. association president William Caldwell of Cleveland told NC News, "Yes, Mr. Work, thank you. You make our point well.

"I say it is not-We, but the Church hierarchy, mixing' the two when they ask elected legislators to put public funds into. private use without being willing to publicly account for the funds.

"Once the bishops start dealing with money raised by ta?{es, they should use procedures commonly accepted in the U. S. for accounting for public funds."

The original resolution to oppose public funding for Catholic schools because of the failure of the schools to account for the money was passed at the association's annual convention at La Jolla, Cal.

In the first semester of the 1969-70 term only 35 per cent of the black freshmen fell under the two-point' average.

The counseling and learning department is directed by George D. Harris and Joanne A. Walker. In their progress report, they said: "Duquesne University accepts only students who are achievers in high school, so the . possibility that this change was due to admissions last September of more able students than in 1!:lG8-69 is ruled out."

Christians Ignore Realistic Message of Christianity

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., July 30. 1970

Would an American withdrflwal in Vietnam entail a complete extinction of American and indeed Western influence and hence open the world to Communist domination? One answer to this puzzle was given recently in a remote village in West Bengal., of the anti-colonial urban mob, There, Naxalites - the fol- were so ready to prefer !:larablowers of Mao Tse-Tungs ex- bas (who seems to have been a treme version of Commu- local guerrilla) to Christ was benism-killed the local schoolmaster as part of their strategy of revolutionary terror in which anyone who can be said to be connected with "the establishment" is marked down for murder.

By BARBARA WARD

But then what happened? Angry villagers hacked the terrorists to death. In other words, they loved the schoolmaster and saw him not as a symbol of oppression but as a sign of possible progress for themselves and thllir children.

To give Mao Tse-Tung his due, he knows very well that terrorism can be effective only if the peasants or the mass of urban people are on the side of the guerillas. Fish can swim only in water. If the masses do not provide acquiescence and support, there is no water. The fish cannot swim.

Bread-Not Arms " It is this basic fact-that the poor will turn to extremism only if desperate and hopeless conditions of oppression suggest they have no alternative-that shows the way to continued constructive American and European influence in the world, provided the Atlantic peoples can get into their tradition-bound skulls the fact that the answer to misery and poverty is not arms but bread.

It ,seems obvious. It is not.

For millenia, men inside their own tribes or nations or empires have been taught to believe that the only way of dealing with those beyond their frontiers is either to trade with them-if there is profit in it - or beat the living daylights out of them if they are judged to interefere with the "sacred self interest" of my tribe, my state, my community.

One reason why the leaders of the Jewish nation, both the official authorities and the leaders

Coffin Says Dream Now Nightmare LAFAYETTE (NC) - Frustration so widespread among workers today results from an American dream gone sour, the Rev. Dr. William Sloane Coffin told United Presbyterian Women meeting here.

Workers have struggled so hard to realize the American dream, only to discover that "for the average American, the dream has turned into a nightmare," said Coffin. He is chaplain of Yale University and longtime activist in civil rights and anti-war causes.

cause Our Lord treated as equal members of the Kingdom of God, Samaritans whom the Jewish officials despised, and Roman centurions whom the guerrillas hated. ' He did not put any particular community first. He put man first. So he was' crucified for it.

Money for War Two thousand years later, we seem as far as ever from the fundamental message of his Kingdom-which is that we must love men, not kill them.

Our preparations for war in' the Atlantic world equal $108 billions a year-the official figure given by the American Agency for Arms Control.

Our expenditure on development assistance--on the schools in which the beloved Bengali schoolmaster taught, on the industries which bring work to the urban dispossessed, on the miracle seeds which can double the yields of grain and indeed make "the fields white unto harvest" our concessionary spending on all these basic needs of human dignity and opportunity is not above $6 billions a year and we are letting it fall away.

Lasting Influence路 For hate we give $108 billions, for love of $6 billions. Is it surprising that as our arms budgets climb, the world grows steadinly more insecure?

The only surprise is the apparent total inability of Christians, the self-styled followers of the Son of Man, to confront these facts and to react with a little more understanding and generosity than neighbors who 'never heard of Christ.

All around the world in the favellas . of' Latin America, on the dusty farms of India, among the canefields of the Philippines, in the narrow lanes of North African cities, there are millions and millions of hungry; illiterate, dispossesessed and under-empplayed people on, whom the wealthy nations, with America at their head, could exercise direct, lasting and beneficent interest, provided. what was sought was not national selfinterest or profit or security but something that goes beyond all of them - the well-being, the brotherhood of our Planet Earth.

Based on Love Utopian? Pollyana? Unrealistic? In one sense, yes-for, with the millenia of aggression in our souls, we have allowed the world "realism" to be attached only to the brutal and ugly facts of retaliation and fear.

But if those of us who dare call ourselves Christians would re-read even one of the Gospels in which Christ speaks to us about His facts and His reality, we would find that true wisdom is not based on defense at all.

It is based upon sharing, generosity and love. Yet we, in our so called Christian society, this supposed leaven in the mass of the world, we allow "reality" or "realism" to be torn away from its foundations in brotherhood.

We still hope, by hating and' fearing everyone, to survive the breaking of the nations and the Judgment of God.

Plan Experimental Ecumenical' Courses Catholic, Protestant Seminaries Participate WASHINGTON (NC)-A fiveyear effort to pool academic resources at the numerous Catholic and Protestant seminaries in this area will germinate in an experimental course exchange program this Fall.

The Washington Theological Consortium; composed of eight seminaries and groups of seminaries, is sponsoring a program of mainly graduate level courses which both Protestant and Catholic seminarians can attend at most of the member schools.

Also in the works is a series of team seminars, such as Theology of the Ministry, jointly taught by one Lutheran, one Episcopal and one Catholic professor, at Dominican House of Studies - one of the member schools.

"This is the dimension of the future," said Father Eugene Burke, D.S.P., vice president of the Consortium. "I don't think you can conceive of a Christian . ministry in the next decad.e that is n,ot ecumenically oriented."

Father Burke said most Catholic seminarians participating in the program will have two years

Question Material In New Catechism DUNEDIN (NC) - New Zealand Catholics are divided as to whether the religious instruction given to young people is adequate or is a watered down version of basic truth.

The dispute arose following the introduction of a new syllabus of religious instruction, "The Living Light," which covers the first eight years of education. Critics claim that the syllabus omits much that is meaningful in Catholic doctrine.

The controversy has been simmering underground for some time, with concern being expressed by older people and priests who dislike the ch~nge from traditional teaching methods. It came to light when the country's national Catholic weekly, the Tablet, published a criticism of the syllabus which was being circulated privately.

of Catholic theology behind them before participating fully in Consortium courses, though there are also some Consortium courses offered on the undergraduate level.

A consolidation of several small .Catholic seminary schools in the area was necessary before plans for the Consortium could be finalized. The result was the Washington Theological Coalition, seven Catholic seminaries which have joined the Consortium as a group.

Ceylon Bans Bnrth Control Activitmes

o

COLOMBO (NC) - Ceylon's government has ended its family pianning activities.

The step against artificial contraception is a result of pressure on the health ministry and political leaders by Buddhist monks, who have denounced birth control, abortion, and sterilization as immoral and unnatural.

The change in government family planning policies reflects a similar switch of position by the Buddhists themselves, who a few years ago fostered birth control while Christians, Moslems and Hindus opposed it.

The Buddhists once far outnumbered the rest of Ceylon's religious communities, but their numerical superiority has been dwindling. Observers here attribute the Buddhists' change of attitude toward birth control directly to their declining strength.

Other Consortium members include Catholic University School of Theology; St. Paul's College; Howard University's School of Religion; Virginia Episcopal Theological Seminary; Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Pa., and u "cluster" which includes Dominican House of Studies, Oblate College and DeSales Hall, Wesley Theological Seminary.

In addition, 25 other Catholic religious order houses are participating in the Consortium as affiliate members. The eight full members are contributing $4,000 each for the first year's operation-a major portion of which will be used for hiring as first director Dr. Charles Taylor, former head of the American Association of Theological Education.

Father Michael Scanlon, O.S.A., Washington priest who last year taught systematic theology in the coalition program, is president of the Consortium, which potentially involves 1,500 students and 250 faculty members.
