Composes Hymn Of Thanksgiving

tHE ANCHORThurs., Aug. 7, 1975

Sisters Senate Gives to Poor CINCINNATI (NC)-Thc ~ev­ en U. S. congregations of the Sisters of Charity founded by Blessed Elizabeth Seton will present an offering to Pope Paul VI at her canoniz'ation ceremony Sept. 14 to help "alleviate the needs of the starving people of the world."

'Part of a general effort to keep the celebration simple and to accent it as a spiritual experience, the decision to present a gift to the Pope was made by representatives of the 7,500member Federation of the Daughters of Mother Seton.

Contributions for the gift for the Pope will come from the personal savings of members of each of the congregations and from Sisters of Charity convents throughout the country.

According to a proposed draft of the letter that will accompany the gift, the decision by the mel1lbers of the federation was prompted by concern about the world food crisis and by a desire to be "mindful of the charism of Sisters, of Charity to serve' the poor" and the example of Blessed I"llizabeth Seton's "universa'i charity."

The federation also has encouraged delegates who attend the canonization ceremony in Rome to do so in the "spirit of pilgrimage" and has asked that the celebration of the historic event reflect a balance between' "the desired simplicity and the dignity and joy of celebration."

Accordingly, the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati will send their president, Sister Mary AsSunta Stang as the only official delegate from among their 1,100 members.

Approximately 80 other Sisters of the community have made their own arrangements to 'attend the canonization . ceremony.

"We wanted aU the Sisters to go who desired to and were able," but to see it as a pilgrimage rather than a tour, Sister Stang said.

White Train Leaves for Lo'urdes ROME (NC) - For the 24th year in succession, a White train carrying over 1,300 pilgrims, one-third of them priests and half of those sick, left Rome's Ostiense Station July 30 for a 30-hour journey to Lourdes.

White Trains got their names from the numbers of whitegowned nuns and nurses who care for the sick passengers.

Hundreds of them traverse Italy each year, bringing the sick and infirm to their beloved shrines.

What makes the July 30 train special is that it carries the annual piJgrimage to Lourdes of priests, the infirm ones and their well brothers who care for them.

They come mainly from Italy, but other countries are represented, and a group comes each year from the United States.

This White Train ,is one of many aids to the sick provided

by Msgr. Luigi Novarese and the volunteers he has organized and leads.

The core of .the organization is a group of priests dedicated to the sick. In addition there is a secular institute of laywomen, the Silent Servants of the Cross.

Finally, there are the volunteers of Suffering, whose pain, prayers and resources keep the White Train going.

This year the train left in two sections. 'J1he second would grow as other cars of pilgrims were added along the route. On each train three cars are used as a kitchen, storeroom and dispefisary.

When 'the train pulls out, it has provisions only for the first meal on board. As it stops along the route, local groups bring provisions according to a schedule worked out in advance. In addition, people make gifts of money to pay the expenses of the sick and of flowers to be brought to the shrine at Lourdes.

The tremendous work of feeding and caring for so many people, many of Whom cannot do much for themselves, is done by volunteers. There are doctors and trained nurses who supervise; but the main burden is borne by volunteers, and they work well and joyously.

The' Pope emphasized: "To live, It ;is necessary to pray."

But whom should we pray for, the Pope asked his listeners.

"We pray for those dear to us and have, rightly, the first place in our 10ve. We thus strengthen these sacred bonds by prayer..

"We pray for our people sa that, overwhelmed by the waves of history, they will not forget the call to faith, to the kingdom, to Uieir highest civil and Christian destiny.

"We pray for our children so that youth, in its search for the new and the original, may know how to discover in the heredity of the past, things which remain alive and which are indispensable for giving expression to a new generation based on true wisdom and the newness of that which is good."

Pocasset Scout Restores Nativity Selt As Project for Eagle Award

A Boy Scout salute to Steven Pescosolido of St. John the Evangelist parish, Pocasset, who at age 14 is one or'the youngest Eagle Scouts on Cape Cod, and whose Eagle project was the refinishing and restoring of parish statues used annually at St. John's for an outdoor nativity scene.

Steve, son of Mr. and Mrs. . Richard M. Pescosolido of Pocasset and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Eleuterio Pescosolido of Mansfield, received the Eagle award at a special court of honor held at the home of Charles Duberger in Pocasset.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Aug. 1, 1915

Sobering Thought Summer is a time when there are usually no organized classes in religion or religious education.

And yet-a great deal of teaching about religion is going on.

Youngsters are taking their cues from their parents and from older people around them.

Attendance at Sunday Mass, the reception of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion,.daily prayer-all these realities of religion are being placed in a scale of values by parents and oldsters for youngsters to see and accept as their own.

In a family where there is living religion-prayer and the sacraments and then the daily living out of what these stand for-then youngsters are relizing that religion is as much a part of daily life as eating and b~eathing.

In a family where there is a slackening of religious practice because it is Summer or because no Sister or CCD teacher is reminding youngsters of religion, then children are likewise learning a lesson about religion-that it is a sometime thing, that its value declines at certain periods of the year.

In either case, religion is being evaluated and placed in a hierarchy of values.

It is being stamped as vital and necessary or as merely llseful at times and yielding to convenience.

A sobering thought for a Summer day.

I-

Summer Dangers Once again the presence of Summer has an aspect of horror and dismay as every pleasant and sunny weekend is followed by a tragic newspaper report of accidents and deaths on the road and in the w~te.r.

It is all very well for those not immediately involved to say that accidents will happen. But there is a human element invloved.

Every person driving an automobile must be especially aware that an accident can happen to him at any moment.

Children, riders on bicycles, motor bikes-all must be expected to do the unexpected at any moment.

Police report that in the majority of car accidents there is the element of either speed or liquor.

No one sets out to hurt himself or another. But a moment of carelessness, of taking a chance, of· driving when he should not drive; and one can bring about an irreversible tragedy.

Water safety is another aspect of Summer that cannot be disregarded. The multiplication of boats has brought with it the multiplication of dangers and added safety risks.

Summer is a wonderful time t6 enjoy all that nature has' provided for wholesome and healthy recreation. But the first condition of enjoying it is to live - and to let others live.

Missionary Wonders Why U.S. Supports Repressive Regimes

THE ANCHORThurs., Aug. 7, 1975

/BUENOS AIRES (NC)-"Why do we give aid to a country that is repressive? Why is the U. S. on friendly terms W1ith such governments?"

The man asking those questions is a U. S. Catholic priest working in a neighboring Latin American country. He has seen first hand the "sub-human Jail conditions he descr.ibes in which political prisoners are kept. He has often been awakened in the middle of the night by frightened people asking him to intercede for relatives who have been arrested in midnight rwids·. ··People are just rounded up arbitrarily and kept in jail for months sometimes before charges are made or they~re released. Many are beaten to get them to talk. Women are raped. Cel1s lack mattresses and blankets for the cold nights.

When outsiders proY-ide these for friends and relatives, they are stolen by prison guards," said the priest.

As he talks, flashes of anger spread across his normally jo-

vial face. Typical of most U. S. priests working in Latin America,he is not dressed in the Roman collar and black suit which d1istinguish his counterparts in the U. S. Dressed in an open-collar srurt, sweater and slacks, he looks more like a physical education te:icl-ter fresh out of an Ivy League school.

The young missionary asked that his name and the country he is working in not be used because he has been told by his Religious superiors that any further criticism of the local government will probably bring expulsion. His previous public croiticisms have caused heavy government ire. Other missionallies interviewed also asked to remain anonymous. !Like a growing number of U.S. missionaries in Latin America since the mid-1960's this priest's criticisms of -local pollicies have led to a serious question.ing of U. S. foreign policy. Among U. S. citizens living abroad, missionaries as a group are among the severest critics of U. S.. foreign polky.

The critics though are a minority of the U. S. missionaries.

The remainder are either apolitical, favor over-all U. S. policy or are critical of only minc;>r aspects, according to many observers. "il know the mHitary aid we give here is peanuts compared to what we did in Vietnam. But why give any aroms to a government that is going to use them aga-inst the people," the U. S. priest said.

Dominicon Nuns Announce Fair

Kids Never T,ell This Mom

Friends of the Dominican Sis· ters Novitiate will sponsor their annual country fair beginning at noon Sunday, Aug. 17 on the novitiate grounds, 3012 Elm St., Dighton.

A chicken barbecue will be served from noon to 3 p.m. and other . attractions will include lollipop, bottle, garden, doll, and white elephant tables, as well as assorted games. A snack bar will be open throughout the day.

Barbecue tickets are available from Mrs. Wiliam T. Donnelly, telephone 679-2639, or from any member of the Friends.

They Hav,e Nothing to Do I'm sure every parent has heard a child complain, "There's nothing to do!" I used to hear it years ago. But now I almost never do. My oldest, now in college, complained about having nothing to do during his summer vacation between first and second grades. That same summer where they've had it with their room-mates. They'd like to one of his teachers told me switch rooms. They assure me that the vacation was detri- that it is their idea ... they will mental to the educational process. She felt that 10 weeks of idleness undid all the good learning habits she worked so

By MARY CARSON hard to instill in her pupils.

She encouraged parents to continue the cultural development of their children during the summer months by insisting the kids read, engage in artistic expression, and participate in educational activities.

Solved Both So I solved both problems.

The next time my young son complained he had nothing to do I had. him help me paint a bathroom that needed redecorating . It kept him busy, and I reasoned that painting was a form of artistic expression.

I don't know how beneficial this was to his cultural development but it did improve the appearance of the bathroom.

And apparently the "wisdom of the ages" has been passed down from one child to another. lance overheard an older brother whispering to his younger sister, "Whatever you do, don't ever tell Mom you have nething to do'" Now I don't even wait for a complaint. Whenever I see an unoccupied pair of hands, I find them a job. Sometimes I've made a bunch of idle kids weed my garden ... and' found out later that some of them weren't even mine. When you have eight kids, you confuse easily.

Getting a bunch of kid!> on the job has certain advantages. Take scraping off old wallpaper. If they work in size order, three kids can clean a wall most I efficiently. Efficiently, yes; peacefully, no. The shortest kid gets covered with wet wallpaper dropped by taller ones.

Musical Bedrooms 'I've had kids as young as four years old help paint a room. It's a mess. But it's the only way they're going to learn. And besides, if they weren't making a mess in the room being painted, they'd be making a mess some place else.

We just finished some redecorating. Almost, there was "nothing to do" for the rest of the summer. However, an educational, fun-fi1Ied activity has come up.

The kids have reached a point

do all the work. They seem to prefer I don't help them, especially in deciding what's garbage.

I'm going along with it because there is the slight possibility that they will dig into some deep dark corners. Something of a study of anthropology.

I tried to make a deal with them. I said I'd let them switch rooms if when the job is done, they'll help me scrub down the kitchen.

It didn't work. One of them said I must think they are as gullible as Huckleberry Finn. 1 never should have encouraged them to read!

But maybe I'll be lucky.

When they finish playing musical bedrooms, maybe someone will say "There's nothing to do."

Then I'll get the kitchen scrubbed ... and then there's the living room ...

Donates Clothing ~o Lebanese NEW YORK ~NC) - Victims of recent border clashes in southern Lebanon will receive 10 tons of clothing from Catholic ReHef Services (SRS), the overseas aid agency of U. S. Catholics.

Valued at $32,500, the cloth. ing wiU be distributed through the Pontifical Mission for Palestine to thousands of refugees at the Ein Helweh refugee camp on the southern Lebanese border. It is there that an estimated 300 houses were destroyed by Israeli raids which Israel said were prompted by Palestinian terrorist attac~s on Israel.

Reports from the camp indicate that families have been living in open fields and are in need of blankets, clothing, and cooking equipment.

To assist relief measures for the refugees, Archbishop Alfredo Bruniera, apostolic nuncio to Lebanon, appealed to the Pontifical Mission for Palestine for help. CRS, in turn, supplied the mission with clothing from its emergency stores at the CRS warehouse in Queens, N. Y. The clothing was part of the 15 million pounds donated by American Catholics last year in the annual Bishops' Thanksgiving clothing collection.'

Population Policies OTTAWA (NC)-A commission of the Canadian Catholic Conference (CCC) has recommended that "redistribution of wealth, and not the control and exclusion of some people" be made the goal of Canadian immigration and population policies.

Next Year's Blooms Depend On Gard,en Work Don,e Now

7

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

This is the time of year when the faithful gardener persists and the Johnny-corne-lately fades into oblivion.

There is no question that the early Spring and Summer thrill is gone and the garden takes on a tired look; cutting the lawn can be a hateful burden and keeping the weeds down Ogunquit Joe remarked that perone should never return to almost an impossible fask. ahaps spot that remained a lovely However, it is important to memory because it may not be

point out that next year's blooms are dependent upon work to be carried on in the garden now.

For one thing, I find it a good time to evaluate the garden and to start planning the shape of the garden for the Fall. Soil should be replenished now as we begin to transplant and set out new plantings. For instance, this is the time of the year for s2tting out new iris as well as dividin~ old clulllPs. Each lifting should be done with a replacement of soil so that the new planting has fresh soil on which to grow. I find this to be a good time for lifting those lilies which are not doing ,as weil as they should in the garden. These I lift and replant almost immediately in their new location.

I also rush the season a bit with day lilies, which I find can be moved at almost any time of the year as long as they are given a sufficient amount of water. These can be lifted, divided and replanted almost immediately where I have determined that they will have the greatest effect.

A great many of the perennials have now gone to seed and the soil must be kept reasonably soft so that -the seedlings can take hold for next year's crop: This is true of foxglove, forget-me-nots, alyssum and other Spring flowers, whkh make their growth in the hot summer months in preparation for the following Spring.

A "little discreet hoeing gives them the opportunity to flourish.

Seedling lilies can be transplanted now with little chant:e of their being lost if again they a-re transplanted immediately .and protected from the hot sun. I have found that too much of a point is made of transplanting only in the Fall-when we are busy with other things such as cleanup and new plantings. A great deal of time can be saved by moving the season up a bit as long as the transplanting is done quickly and watering takes place on a regular basis.

In the Kitchen 1'm writing this column in the middle of the most torrid heat wave to hit this area in the history of weather reporting and the thought of anything other than a cold, cold drink seems too much to bear. We do have some pleasant, if not t:ooling thoughts to dwell on though, for we just returned from a couple of days in southern Maine and while it wasn't any cooler up there it certainly was scenic.

As we drove up Route 1 into

Basic Right ;'Innocent human life, in whatever condition it may be, is, from the first instant of its existence, to be preserved from any diret:t voluntary attack. This is a fundamental right of the human person." "':"'Pope Pius XII

all that we have remembered. If was over II years ago that we first traveled to Ogunquit and discovered some of the loveliest New England scenery imaginablE', so I was a little wary of returning and discovering crass commercialism had invaded.

Well, commercialism was there in abundance but so too was the beautiful coastline that had lived in my memory. If you love thc ocean as I do and you venture up to Ogunquit, don't miss its Museum of Art. The men and womwho planned this museum had the foresight and taste to build it on a cliff overlooking the ragged cliffs, and rugged rocks so cOOr· acteristic of this part of the country. Immediately upon en· tering the front door of this unusual museum you see the ocean, for the bat:k wall of the building is glass and water and shoreline are ever-present parts of the environment of the art on view.

This edifice is truly a beautiful example of a building in keeping :with its surroundings.

Another part of Ogunquit that is still unspoiled in the Marginal Way, a walk that is open to tourists and natives alike who wish to view the beauty of the shoreline.

Maine is to be complimented for preserving so mucb of its beauty, while at the same time reaping the profits that .come with the tourist trade. If you have never visited Ogunquit, it's on Route I, about an hour and a half from Boston, so it's even near enough for a one-day trip.

Only try to pick a cool day. Even Maine hasn't been able to harness our New England weather!

This is a ret:ipe that the kids love and I just finished baking a batch for a church picnic in 95 0 heat, so you know they have to be easy to make.

Urges .Senators Reject New Farm Labor Bill

Several weeks ago the Labor Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives voted down a bill which would have made it legal for children, ages fi~e to 12, to do field harvest work by hand ih areas authorized by the Secretary of Labor, as long as they out-in fact it isn't even menworked outside school hours. tioned-in his statement of purOn April 28 we stirred up a pose quoted above. Whlle the few feathers in the great bill purports , in this statement Northwe::;t by reporting here that this. reactionary bill was intended primarily, if not exclusively to benefit a handful of

Iy MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS growers in one particular section of the otherwise progressive State of Oregon. That was bad enough, but, to make matters worse, we specifically criticized Oregon's two U. S. Senators-Packwood and Hatfieldfor fronting for these growers in t he Congress.

The negative reaction to that column by at least one Oregonian was so forceful that we derided. for the sake of keeping the peace, never again to criticize his native state or either of its Senators.

Unfortunately, however, Sen. Packwood has left us with no alternative but to go back on that decision. On June 12 the Senator introduced, in his own name, a related bill (5. 1928) which, in some respects, is even worse than the one that was voted down in April. The stated purpose of Packwood's bill is to prohibit the employment in the United States of aliens who are in this country unlawfully· or, if here lawfully are not entitled to employment. More precisely, its purpose, as outlined in Sec. 2 (5) (b) is "to enlist the aid of Federal agencies concemt'd with employment and immigration and to solicit the support or employers toward location and removal from employment of those persons illegally employed and to check future employees prior to employment . so as to ascertain their legal right thereto."

Window-Dressing This being translated means that if S. 1928 were to be enacted by the Congress, several million aliens would be thrown out of work and left to fend for themselves. The bHl doesn't say what should or would happen to them after that but presumably, having been ferreted out as iIIegals, they would· be expelled from the country in due time.

While recognizing the seriousness of the illegal alien problem and the need to bring it under control, I am strongly opposed to Sen. PackWOOd's bill and will testify against it, in the name of the U. S. Catholic Conference, if invited to do so by the appropriate Senate Committee. For present purposes, however, that's beside the point. The real point of Packwood's bill is not spelled

of purpose, to be concerned with the problem of illegal aliens, I am afraid that's only windowdressing.

The real purpose of S. 1928 is to provide the growers of Oregon and other agricultural states (but Oregon principally) with a guaranteed labor force. The bill would achieve this purpose by exempting certain agricultural workers and authorizing the Attorney General of the United States "to permit the temporary admission of nonimmigrant aliens in sufficient numbers to satisfy the agricultural labor requirements of any employers.approved by a State agency designated by the Governor of such State."

That sounds rather technical, but you don't have to be a Philadelphia lawyer to know what it means. It means, in summary, that having failed in his efforts to legalize the use of child labor on Oregon's farms, Sen. Packwood is now trying to accommodate the growers of that State by authorizing them, whenever the Governor of the State certifies that there is a shortage of agricultural lahar, to recruit workers in Mexico for stated periods of time.

No Guarantees Sen. Packwood's proposal is far worse than. the old Bracero program (1954-1964) which legalized the massive importation of braceros (farm hands) under a bilateral contract or treaty between the Government of Mexico and the Government of the United States. But as it was, the Bracero program at least guaranteed the imported Me?,ican workers certain minimum standards in terms of wages, working conditions, housing, insurance; etc. Packwood's bHl provides no guarantees of any kind. In fact, it places absolutely no restrictions or conditions on the growers other than the technical requirement that they'" assist in defraying the expense of administering the program and post a bond "to insure the prompt' departure of ... nonimmigrant aliens ... at the expiration of the time such nonimmigrant aliens are authorized to be employed." In plain English that means: After the harvest has been completed, the nonimmigrant aliens will no longer be needed-until, of course, the next harvest comes around.

The irony of this back-door ,attempt. to get around the nation's immigration laws is that it directly contradicts the arguments used by Sen. Packwood to rationalize cracking down on illegal aliens employed in industries .other than agriculture. In Section 2 of his bill, Packwood argues that there are many iIIega-ls employed in this country at a time when our unemployment rate is the highest since the Depression and then coo-

Bishop Crusades for Recognition Of Ponama's Claims to Canal· WASHINGTON (NC)-Recognition of the claims of Panamanians to the Panam.a Canal is essential to its operation and to peaceful U. S.-Panama relations, a,ccording to a Panamian archbishop.

In a round of talks and interviews h€re, Archbishop Marcos G. McGra'th of Panama City warned that time is running out in the 10-year-long effort to give Panama control of the interocean waterway.

He said he shared the concern of those negotiators and other officials that emotional slogans or ignorance of the facts among Americans might block prompt passage of the treaty in the Senate.

If this happens, he said. "there will be serious consequences."

"There is a lack of information regarding Panama - and Latin America in general--even among the more educated s~­ tors of American society. The information media generally show little understanding of Latin American issues and problems," Archbishop McGrath told an audience of reporters gathered at eludes that both the government and employers of this country have a responsibility to preserve jobs for those legally entitled to them.

No Shortage The only way the Senator can possibly reconcile this argument with his proposal to authorize the recruitment of agricultural workers in Mexico is to assume 'that there is a shortage of such workers in his OW:l and other agricultural States. The fact is, however, that there would be no such shortage of agricultural workers ,anywhere in the United States if the growers wer~ willing to pay decent wages and provide decent working conditions for domestic field workers. In fact, even where the growers are currently offering substandard wages and working conditionS'as, for example, in Floridathere is an enormous oversupply of agricultural labor.

Young Visitors from Belfast on Cape Discover Meaning of .Co-existence

By PAT McGOWAN

Last week an ll-year-old Irish boy, one of 54 children from Belfast, North Irelal1d, who have been visiting Cape Cod under auspices of Cape -Irish Children's Charity, attended a large cookout with his host family. He had a wonderful time.

Halfway through the event his hostess said casualIy, "Some of ,these people are Protestants, you know."

"He couldn't believe it," she said afterwards. "He was having so much fun with these wonderfulkids - and they weren't Catholics!"

Such ecumenical insights have come so often during the past six weeks for the Irish youngsters, alI from strife-torn areas of Belfast, brought up to believe, depending on their own loyalty, that alI Protestants or alI Catholics are irredeemably evil.

Their stay on Cape Cod came about through the efforts of Rev. George Cobbett of St. Mark's Episcopal Church ,in Barnstable, who took his inspiration from a similar program carried out last year in Minnesota, where a farm community welcomed a group of Irish youngsters.

"The children were chosen by their school principals in Belfast," said Father Cobbett, "on the basis of how much they would be likely to get out of such a trip and also hopefulIy with the thought that among them might be some of tomorrow's leaders in Northern Ireland who would be influenced towards unity by this experience of international felIowship."

The children themselves aren't worrying about such theoretical goals, however. They've been

too busy having a good time with 'their American friends. Activities of the six weeks have included a trip to a Red Sox game in Boston, innumerable cookouts and boat rides and trips to Nantucket and Martha's Vineward with their host families, made possible by donated tickets from steamship campanies.

A highlight of the summer was a visit to the Kennedy compound at Hyannis where plans calIed for the children and their host families to visit Sen. Edward Kennedy's home for a brief talk by the Senator, then proceed to Mrs. Rose Kennedy's residence to see her dolI colIection, then be her guests for a tea party..

Along the way there have been the many smalI surprises of adjusting to the life style of another country. Mrs. Richard Farley of Our Lady of Victory pari'sh in Centerville, for instance, reported that ll-year-old Mary McKeating, who has shared the summer with her own six children, couldn't believe the varieties of crackers and ice cream available to her.

'IIn Belfast, she said, they only have Ritz crackers and vanilla ice cream," said Mrs. Farley.

Mary had no trouble deciding that chocolate- chip was her favorite American ice cream, but another new food, watermelon, met a negative response.

"I don't like it," she declared.

An accomplished singer and Irish step dancer, the browneyed 1I -year-old, together with some of the other Belfast children, repaid American hospitality by entertaining oldsters at two Cape nursing homes. She said her favorite song was "21 Years," an Irish balIad. "They

always ask me to sing that."

Another Cape visitor is 10year-old Bernadette Murray, guest of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Rutherford of St. Francis XaVier parish, Hyannis.

"At first she was surprised at how much we use the car to go places," said Mrs. Rutherford.

"She was used to walking everywhere. Then we took a trip to Nantucket and did a lot of walking, and she wanted the car.

She'd alreadv got out of the walking habiU" ..

Three chaperones accompanied the Irish children from Belfast and Miss Monica Watson, head mistress of one of the Belfast schools involved in the project said they feel the summer visit has been a huge success.

"I've been available in case the host families had any problems," said Miss Watson, herself the guest of Mrs. Thomas Kennedy of Our Lady of Victory parish, "but outside of a little homesickness at first and some adjustments to different foods and learning to understand American accents, there have been very few di~ficulties," She said that the early homesickness seemed to 'be banished when the visitors were reunited at the Red Sox basebalI game.

"Seeing each other again and hearing what each. was doing seemed to make everyone settle down. I had no calIs about homesickness after that."

Miss Watson said she and the other chaperones, Mrs. Jean Stewart, who is staying in Hyannis and Raymond Moore, quartered in Chatham, have been "overwhelmed with hospitality," "I shalI go away with very happy memories of Cape Cod," she declared.

Asked about possible "reentry problems" when the Irish children return to their homes, alI in deprived areas of Belfast, Miss Watson opined that they are young enough "not to feel dissatisfied with their lot," She commented that she thought "it would be different with teenagers-they would be unhappy at the contrast." But she feels the American experience may give the younger children "ambition to aim higher in life," As welI as the Centerville and Hyannis parishes, families from St. Pius X, South Yarmouth, Holy Trinity, West Harwich and Holy Redeemer, Chatham, are entertaning Irish children.

'In all, said Father Cobbett.. who himself has an Irish guest sharing the holidays with his two sons and adopted Korean daughter, 15 Protestant and Catholic Cape churches and two Rotary Clubs have participated in the program, which he calIs "one of the most exciting things I've done since I've been ordained," ,

direct witness to the fact "that interfaith activity is a possible goal for Irish children and adults," He said families here would not have minded whether they were assigned Protestant or Catholic chHdren, but to alIay fears on the part of the Belfast families, .alI children went to homes of their own faith.

Father Cobbett was assisted in his large project, which got under way last October, by an ecumenical committee of Cape clergy and laity.' He -noted that area enthusiasm was such that there were twice as many host families available as there were visiting children. , On Sunday, when he waves goodbye to his charges, he wiU be entitled to feel that he and his co-workers have completed an undertaking likely to have effects for years to come.

He said families were asked not to discuss the Iri5h Protestant-Catholic strife directly with their guests, but to give in-

this accounted for, she wonders,

by Jung's theory of the colle~­ live unconscious: namely, that latent in each of us are traces of humanity's whole experience in every age, back to the first?

In any case, Mrs. Ames became convinced that the cuilures which she 'observed in Asia represent one side of man's heritagE', the one "which is contemplative and intuitive, in touch with the earth and with unseen powers; more concerned with being than with doing."

The other side, represented by the West, is almost exclusively rational, pragmatic, industrious, aggressive. We in the West have lost touch, Mrs. Ames believes, with realities, truths, virtues which are operative in Eastern cultures. And this, will be our ruin, unless corrected.

She was .impressed by the omnipresence of religion in daily life. "Going to Nepal," she says, "is to ,go to an exhilarating mountain world: it is also to pnter a world where religion is as vital as the air." Wlhen she witnessed religious ceremonies, she wondered about the disappearance of ceremony from our common life and the restriction of the expression of religion "to the interiors of a limited number of buildings."

It is curious that one who, like the author, puts so much stress on the solidarity of the human race, and who subscribes to the theory of the collective unconscious, does not perceive the human race's need of redemption and salvation.

There are appalling enormities in human history, heinous crimes in great numbers and of many kinds. There is an enor· mous, crushing burden of guilt in which all have a share. All alike require deliverance, and it is precisely this which Christ provided by his life, death and resurrection..

ROME (NC)-First steps toward the beatification of the late Dr. Tom Dooley, famed for his medical work in Laos and Cambodia during the 1950's are beginning in the United States, according 'to Father Angelo Mitri, postulator of Saints' causes of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate heer.

"Some bishops and certain groups that knew and supported Dr. Dooley have sent letters asking that his cause be introduced in Rome," said Father Mitri in an interview with NC News.

"This is a normal, preliminary step in such cases. But it is no more than that."

Asked about Dooley's connection with the Oblates, Father Mitri explained that the Dooley family came from St. Louis where they were long-time friends of the community.

"When Dr. Dooley went to Laos," said Father Mitri, "he worked closely with our missionaries. He was made an honorary member of the Oblates, which is an exceptional honor."

KNOW 'YOUR FAITH

BY WILLIAM E. MAY We live in an age when millions die of starvation and exploitation, when other millions perish in the ravages wrought by war, when the mutilated corpses of many others bear eloquent testimony to the tragic aftermath of automobile, train, and airplane disasters. We live too in an age where millions of human fetuses are killed because they are unwanted. In the midst of all this death we are urged, and rightly so, to respect life.

But why are we to respect life, and how does 'respect for life relate to the subject of reconciliation?

Human Being Priceless As Catholics we believe that every human being is precious, priceless, a being of infinite and transcendent value. We believe this because we believe that a human being is different in kind precisely because he is the living image of God. Thus we believe that human life is something sacred, something that participates in the sancity of God Himself.

Life itself is a gift from God. We do not believe tha~ life as such is the highest good, for God Himself is the highest good, and our moral good or our willingness to do what is right and our willingness to do what is wrong is the way that we re-

spond to His call to perfection.

Thus we are ready, or should be ready, to sacrifice our lives, if necessary, rather th,ln to hi: willing to betray His trust by doing wrong. But human life, precisely because it is life in God's image, is a real good. To have our hearts and wills set on its destruction, thus, is to be willing to dq something that is wrong.

Fetus: Human Being 'Life is a good of human beings, but it is a good that we possess at the mercy of pur fellowmen. It is for this reason, I believe, that the fetus symbolizes our humanity and our attitudes toward life. No one who takes biological evidence serious. Iy denies that t.hE' fetus is a human being, a living memba of the human species. But some claim that the fetus is not ~ per¡ son or a subject of rights, simply because the fetus is not a conscious self with interests of its own and with the capacity of relating to other selves. For them it is not a "meaningful" human being, a "meaningful" human life.

But when we think of it no one who reads these words-no human being anywhere-was a person or a personal subject at birth, if by person one means a self-conscious being aware of itself as a self and capable of Tum to Page Fourteen

The Bishop as Leader

One of our more gifted and prolific Catholic writers in the United States, over the past months, frequently and bitterly decried the lack of leadership given at the present time by the American Bishops.

By FR. JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN

This critic, however, has not so often or so clearly delineated the meaning of true leadership or the type of leaders desired.

That remains a more difficult, a more complex task.

Strong episcopal leaders are heroes and courageous prophets to those who agree with their views; they are reactionaries and unenlightened dictators to those who oppose their decisions.

Bishop Maher of San Diego, for example, by refusing Communion to persons active in organizations which endorse abortion has become an instant hero to -those in the right-to-life movement and a hated enemy to those in the NOW organization.

entire diocese suffer the wrath of both -those who wish to stay behind and those who wish to run ahead. Too fast for some, too slow for others, that Bishop likewise may be called a compromiser, a wishy-washy person, a man without leadership abilities. Quite the contrary, his reconciling ways can indicate he has a unique talent for moving the entire community ahead at a steady gradual pace.

Leadership Bishops who observe a laissezfaire, "he rules best who rules least," disposed to overlook ap.proach will win the support and admiration of many. Others, however, will object to this style and claim he fails to uphold true 'values and lends tacit approval to erroneous opinions and activities.

I am not sure how to categorize Bishop Paul Donovan of the recently formed diocese of Kalamazoo, Michigan. However, he certainly has given an example of leadership in his manner of moving about the area, meeting constantly with people and calling for shared resPClnsibility in the pastoral decision process.

Parishioners of St. Catherine's Church in Portage (described in a recent column) experienced Bishop Donovan's giving presence over an entire weekend.

When I was a child in Catholic grade school I was given a hand-sized box to fill with pennies. Sister said that the pennies would be sent to the foreign missions to save unwanted babies -particularly girl babies-who would otherwise be exposed to death and allowed to die. It was 'called a "mite" box, a place where children r,ather than the widow of the Gospels contributed their mites.

By REV. PAUL F. I

PALMER, S.J.

I didn't understand at the time why. our Catholic missionary priests, Brothers and Sisters were interested in saving lives when they were supposed to save souls, why they didn't simply baptJize the babies, let them die and go straight to heaven.

But I have learned since that Christians have always been interested in human life in all stages of development, from the womb to the tomb, as well as beyond. This would expl'ain why Christians were the first to open orphanages; to build hospitals for the poor, leprosariums tor the social outcasts, and homes for the aged.

Sensitive to the Present Isn't it strange that the Catholic Church has been so vehemently criticized for the emphasis that it places on the life to come, when in fact it has taught the world to be sensitive and ,concerned for life that is present? Anyone at all familiar with the history of Western civilization, as contrasted with the practices of those lands where the Gospel has not been preached, will recognize the 'criticism as a gross caricature.

Love of God and love of neighbor has been the great commandment of the' JewishChristian tradition, but Jesus . made "love for one another" the test of one's love of God, the hallmark by which the world would know that Christians are His disciples.

This concern for the needs of others, including the primary need to live, is stressed in the earliest catechism that has come down to us, the second century Didsche or Teaching of the Apostles. "The second cOjllmandment of the Teaching is: You shall not commit murder ... You shall not kill an unborn chila or murder a new born infant" (Ch. 2). Distinguishing beJween the Way of Life and the Way of Death the catechumen under instruction was warned that "killers of children" walk the way of death (Ch. 5).

They marry like the rest of men and beget children, but they do not abandon the children that are born.

Later in the day he celebrated the sacrall}ent of Penance (our new expression of "hearing con· fessions") from 5-6 p.m. and 8-9 p.m" offered the anticipated evening Mass, and preached at that liturgy.

The next day the relatively young bishop preached at the three Sunday Masses and shared coffee and doughnuts afterwards with parishioners. The pastor estimates he shook hands and greeted 75 per cent of St. Catherine's people during these social hours.

Bishop Donovan completed his weekend at St. Catherine's by lunching with the parish coun· cil members and their spouses, sitting 'through the regular meeting as an observer and then visIting informally with them at the session's terminatiqn.

Leadership entails more than shaking hands and greeting people. But a bishop who moves around, observes carefUlly and . listens intently will be in a much better position to make forward thinking, wise decisions and to serve as an inspiring leader for all.

Justice~for All

Continued from Page One and Passamaquoddy tribes in Maine, also benefited from the French-American alliance. These Indian_s went to Boston after the Declaration of Independence. to request that the new nation secure a Catholic priest to' serve them. A French Augustinian, Father Hyacinthe de la Motta, became the first in a succession of French clergy who nourished t.he religious faith and political loyalty of the Indians there; both during and after the war.

French Canadian Aid French Canadians contributed to the success of American arms in the Northwest. For example, Father Pierre Gibault, a native of Montreal who was serving in Illinois, came to be called "The . Patriot Prii'st." Through his influence over the French people living in Illinois Father Gibault enabled George Rogers Clark to hring the Northwest Territory under American control. Father Gibault's flock f\:lrnished supplies to the American military forces, and the priest even enlisted a company to aid in the recapture of Vincennes from the British.

This led to the permanent acquisition' of the territory by the United States at the peace set. tlement in 178.1.

It was in the postwar era, however, that French influence became a major factor in the development of American Catholicism. When Bishop John. Carroll, the first bishop of Baltimore, decided to begin a sem· inary for the training of priests he turned to France for assistance. The first band of French Sulpicians embarked from St. Ma \0 in 1791. The story of their trip is preserved in the "Voyage en Amerique" by Chateaubriand, who accompanied them. Thus, during President Washington's first administration, ?t. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore became thl' first U. S. seminary.

Sulpicians This first nucleus of French education soon produced other . benefits. In Baltimore itself French Sulpician Father William Dubourg began a eollege for Catholic laymen. In Emmitsburg, Md., Father Dubourg helped Father (later Bishop) John Dubois found Mt. St. Mary's, which came to be known as "The Cradle of Bishops" for its many graduates who eventually reached episcopal rank. It was the French Sulpicians, too, who directed Blessed Elizabeth Seton, to be canonized in September, toward educating young women, first in Baltimore and later in Emmitsburg. The names of French-American priests and bishops-Dubourg, Dubois, John Baptist David, Simon-Gabriel Brute, Benedict Flaget-are are irrevocably linked with the work of this first native oaint of the United States.

The French founded new parishes and dioceses as well, particularly in New England and in the West. The success of the Church in Massachusetts and Maine during the Federalist era was largely due to immigrant priests fleeing from the French Revolution. Fathers Francis A. Matignon and Jean Lefebvre de· Cheverus worked together in such harmony and zeal in this center of anti-Catholicism that

when Boston's new Church of the Holy Cross was undertaken, some 140 Protestants' names, headed by that of President John' Adams, appeared on the subscription list of contributors.

It is not surprising that 'when new dioceses were created in 1808, 80ston was among them and Father Cheverus became its first bishop. When he was recalled to France in 1823, many prominent Bostonian Protestants petitioned King Louis XVIII to let him stay, caIling the Catholic bishop "a treasure ... we cannot part with."

In the Northwest Territory and the. frontier' regions spreading out from Kentucky and Louisiana the French were equaIly important. Father Michael Levadoux, who came with the first Sulpicians in 1791, did much to wean the French in the Northwest Territory away from their former allegiance to Canada and direct it to the new Republic.

Father Gabriel Richard, who fled France a year after Father Levadoux, not only founded centers of learning in the Detroit PRO-LIFE EXPRESSION: "We believe that life, human area, introducing the first print- life, is simething sacred, something that participates in the ing press and giving Michigan sanctity of God himself."

Continued from Page Thirteen ty or cruel lust comes to this, that they even procure poisons to induce sterility; and if these do not work they extinguish or destroy the fetus in some fashion in the womb, preferring that their offspring die before it lives, or if it is already alive in the womb, to kill it before it is born. Assuredly, if both husband and wife are like this ... I dare to say that the wife is in some respects the harlot of her husband and he the adulterer of his own wife" ("On Marriage and Concupiscence," 1,15,17), Some would write off the warning of Augustine as an example of the Catholic Church's pessimism in matters of sex.

But they miss the point. Augustine and the Church for which he speaks art' more concerned with respect for life than for the virtue of continence, even though it is often "cruel lust" which leads to -the killing of the unborn and the murder of the newly born.

eyo Swim Meet

Children are no longer asked to give their Lenten pennies to save unwanted babies. Rarely are the unwanted babies given the chance to live and to be wanted.

They are aborted, at home as well as abroad. The United States is fast rivaling Japan in its claim to infamy 3S the "abortion paradise."

The abortion fall-out is rapidly engulfing the world. But an equally ominous cloud is on the horizon. The children who hlVc survived the present fall-out will inherit the anti-life mentality of their elders. The unwanted will no longer be just babies, but the mentally retarded, the physically handicapped, the incur~ ably sick, irrespective of age.

But the callous disregard for human life will be turned principally against the aged who will become an increasing burden to the family and society.

A nation that has come to legalize the killing of the unwanted in the sanctuary of the womb will be less hesitant to legalize killing of the unwanted even in the sanctuary of the home.

Set in Attleboro In cooperation with an interfaith summer recreation program a swimming and diving competition will be sponsored by the Attleboro area Catholic Youth Organization from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Competitive diving will be of· fered as a separate program and boys and girls will compete separately. Olympic style medals will be awarded for the best three in each division,
