It was an Olympic year for 20­ year-old Dan Andrews.

But the gold medal he re­ ceived on July 31 was not for an event in the Los Angeles Games. It was for his battle for life.

The new addition to the family trophy case was presented to the young man in the wheel chair by his 21-y.ear-old sister, The­ resa, who .had just won the Olympics' 100-meter backstroke.

Maxine Andrews of Annapolis, Md., said of her daughter's gen­ erosity, "She probably felt it was an Olympic year for him" after h~pulled through a bycicle accident· .Jast August that sever­ ed his spinal cord and left him paralyZ'ed from the waist down.

"At first I wanted her to keep it," Dan told National Catholic News Service. "I'm just so gJIad she wanted to give it to me.

"We'll share it for awhile," he said of the prize from his sis­

ter, a graduate of Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore.

Mrs. Andrews said that 20 minutes after the event Theresa met the seven members of her family who had attended the race and gave the golden prize to her stunned brother.

"I was just as surprised as he was," said Mrs. Andrews. '''But it's typical," of her daughter's selflessne~s, she said.

Theresa went on to win an­ other gold medal for her parti­ cipation in the United States women's 4xlOO medley relay Aug. 3, swimming the IOO-meter 'backstroke, on a team which in­ cluded Tracy Caulkins in the breaststroke, Mary T. Meagher in the butterfly and Nancy Hogs­ head in the freestyle.

Mllxine and Frank Andrews have 12 children, including a son who is a Redemptorist priest in Puerto Rico. Andrews is a Navy veteran who works for General Physics in Columbia.

Stirring the mixture

WASHINGTON (NC) - The American bishops are preparing a new statement on Catholic Church teaching and politics, a spokesman for the U.S. Catholic Conference said Aug. 6.

Russell Shaw, usee secretary for public affairs, said the bish­ ops would release a new state­ ment, p«:rhaps by the end of August, "which would deal with the issues, our view of the is-

Shaw said the document, "es­ chewing as best we can parti­ sanship," wpuld disouss church moral doctrine .as it relates to the ·political order and political issues, including those raised in the current campaign. He said these include but are not limited to abortion.

He said it would be an exag­ geration to say the statement woUlld directly criticize politi­ cians who inject heavy doses of reUgion into their political cam­ paigns.

Grace' Co. aids

Abp. Bravo

WASHINGTON (NC) Nicaraguan Archbishop Miguel Obando Bravo has organized a campaign to prevent his country from 'turning Marxist, and has received help from the chairman of W. R, Grace & Company, ac­ cording to a report of a meeting between the archbishop and, a company officer.

The archbishop has a "develop­ ment plan" for: the Managua' archdiocese, the report said. The

plan focu~s on leadership train­

ing for .Jocal Catholics which

emphasizes orthodox Catholic­

ism an~ some community devel­ , opment-type skills, according to

a May memorandum addressed to J. Peter Grace.

Grace, a prominent Catholic, is company chairman, and has clo~ ties to the Reagan adminis­ tration.

According to the memoran­ dum, the archbishop regards his program as "the best organized opposition in Nicaragua to the present government's efforts to chatige the country into a Marx­ ist-Leninist society."

The memo's author recom-. mended "t:urther contact" with the arehbishop "for the pUll>ose of developing an aid conduit."

Aid in the form of teaching materials and religious artiCles was subsequently provided by the Sarita Kenedy East Foun­ dation, which is chaired by Grace, said a company'spokes­ man.

Archbishop Obando Bravo said that he was not promoting a political line, but "wants to pro­ tect the Catholic faith of his people," according to the memo.

The New York Times Aug. 1 ,- quoted the archbishop as saying that his training units are "pas­ toral cadres, not military cadres to overthrow governments."

According to the memo, the 81rchbishop has organized -the Managua. arehdiocese into smaU groups of Catholics who are given ,leadership courses, reli­ gious instruction and training in hygiene, nutrition and some' manuwl skills.

THOUGHTS

ON MARY

Devotion to Mary WASHIiNGTON (NC) - De­ votion to Mary, the mother of Jesus, is not dyJng, just different, says a Marian expert.

St. Joseph Sister Eliza­ beth Johnson, a theologian at the Catholic ,University of Am­ erica, said- a new understanding and appreciation for Mary is de­ veloping among laity and theo­ logians. ' The trend since Vatican II is to see Mary as a historical fig­ ure who~ journey of faith in­ cluded suffering, doubt and struggle, Sister Johnson said.

"Mary's fSiithfulness to God, in spite of her trials, is her g.Jory and makes it desirable and possi­ ble for people to idelitify with her," the, theologian said.

Sister Johnson said ~he tradi­ tional emphasis on Mary as sub­ missive and obedient has been a point of disagreement for Cath­ olic feminists.

"Many women theologians think devotion to Mary has been Hnked .with ,the suppression of women in the church and that the devotion exalts domesticity and motherhood to the exclusion of other leadership positions," she said.

Post-Vatican II thought has centered on Mary as the first disciple from the standpoint of honor and dignity," Sister John­ son said: The theologJan said, Mary was particularly impressive in accept­ ing the responsibility o~ bearing the Messiah.

"This is remarkable when one 'considers that Mary was a poor and relatively uneducated young , woman."

Sister Johnson said people, riot theologians, would develop new forms of Marian devotion.

Mary expresses femininity of God WASHINGTON (NC) - Mary, the mother of Jesus, "expresses God in his perfect womanly qualities," said' Bishop Jerome J. Hastrich of the Dioce~ of Gai­ lUp, N.M. Addressing the annual meet­ ing of the, Queen of the Ameri­ cas Guild in Washington, Bishop Hastrich said the "rediscovery'" of Mary repr~nted "a real truth" about God..

"God has both masculine and feminine qualities. He must, to be able to give those qualities to men and women. Mary e~pres~s God dn his perfect womanly qualities," he said.

"AU men should be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect.

That means that women shoUld, try to attain, some masouline qualities, like firmness in raising chHdren, and men should try to attain some feminine 'qualities, like attention to details," com­ mented the bishop.

Bishop Hastrich, the Guild's episcopal moderator, said the church must stress God's fem­ inine qualities to clarify wom­ en's iI'oles in the church.

Olympic motto work of priest BOSTON (NC) - The official Olympic motto, "cmus, Altius, Fortius," was coined in 1895, the year before the first of the re­ vived games, by a French Dom­ inican priest, Father Jean Henri­ Martin Didon, reported George E. 'Ryan in The' Pi,lot, Boston archdiocesan newspaper.

Ryan said Father Didon was one of the most celebrated preachers in Europe during the ~atter half of the 19th century and was concerned, wJth social problems as they related to youth.

The priest was asked by the father of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Fredy, Baron of Cou­ bertin, to coin a suitable motto to characterize the opening

Games of 1896 and aU other Games to foHow. The priest's proposal, offered to the Olympic Committee in 1895, was simple: "Citius, Altius, Fortius," by which he meant "Faster, Higher, Braver," Ryan wrote. Later translations pre­ ferred the version used today, "Swifter, Higher; Stronger."

Earlier,' Father Didon address­ ed an international Olympic con­ gress at LeHavre, France when de . Coubertin began promoting the Games's revival. The priest's topic was "the ,influence of mor­ ality on athletic sports," a s~ech which reportedly helped persu­ ade congress participants that a new Olympics was not only feas­ ible but perhaps even necessary for internationaJ! harmony.

71 Irish children enjoy Cape stay'

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., August 10, 1984

Ne,v Yorli

Last Monday night, what has become an annual tradition on Cape Cod was played out once more as 71 chHdren from Bel­ fast, Northern Ireland, ended a six-week stay on Cape Cod.

trade comments By. Liz S. Armstrong NC News Service

The 10 and ll-year-olds were guests of the Cape Cod Irish Children's Program which for 10 summers has brought youngsters from the strife-torn streets of their hometown for ~axed va­ cations on the peaceful shores of Cape Cod. Last summer 53 children were guests of Cape families; this year ,the total climbed to 71.

"In their hearts they hold our hopes for their future," said Kathleen Lonergan of the Cape program, "a future where their economy can flourish because the peQple of Northern Ireland will work together in peace and brotherhood.

The youngsters were kept busy during then- Cape stay, she said. Activities included an ex­ cursion to Boston where they met Governor Michael Dukakis and Boston Mayor Raymond F~ynn, rode the famous swan boats, toured the New England Aqua­ rium and enjoyed a party hosted for them at Faneuil Hall. Addi­ tionally, many Cape attractions, including the Aqua Circus of West Yarmouth, extended hospi­ tality to the children and then­ host famifies.

The final get-together for a:ll the children cam~ July 29 at Our Lady of Victory Church, Centerville, this year's site. of the program's ,traditional ecu­ menical service. Also on the day's agenda were a picnic and enter­ tainment by ventriloquist Ham-old Crocker.

GoJden jubilee Brother Eugene Hardy, a na­ tive of Notre Dame parish, Fall River, has celebrated his golden jubilee as a Brother of Christian Instruction.

His association with the com· munity began at an early age, as 'his older brothers attended the former Prevost High School in Fall River and his mother mended cassocks for the Brothers on the faoulty. He did not fol­ dow his own brothers to Prevost, however, entering the community in 1931 after graduation from eighth grade.

In 47 years as a teacher'and principal he has served in Water­ ville, Maine, Plattsburgh, NY, and in Dalhousie and Montreal in Canada.

Three sisters, all from Fall River, joined dn his jubilee cele­ hration. They are Mrs. Corinth Richard and Mrs. Beatrice Caron of St. Jean Baptiste parish and Mrs. Paulette Fortin of Holy Name.

NOTICE

Wednesday, Aug. 15, is the feast of the Assumption, a holy day of obligatiol1!, Catholics shouTd ~ttend Mass either on Aug. 14, the eve of the feast, or on the feastday itself.

goverl~or~

New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and Archbishop John J. O'Con­ nor of New York traded com­ ments Aug. 3 on the issue of re­ ligion and politics after Cuomo earlier had chaIlenged the arch­ bishop on the propriety of Cath­ olics voting for candidates who favor abortion.

Cuomo asserted at dinner in Washington -that religion and politics should be discussed but warned against those who "start taking private belief and begin to Jay it on everyone." Arch­ bishop O'Connor, clarifying an earlier statement, denied he ever told Catholics they could not vote for politicians backing legal abortion.

The governor, in answering questions at the International Platform Association meeting in Washington, said that Arch­ bishop O'Connor had said that "to be a good Catholic you could only vote for the right-to­ lifers."

In response, Cuomo said "what I said is ,that the design of this country, its greatest strength is that people are free to believe their own thing."

'Cuomo said he was "delighted with the archbishop's cladfica­ tion" that the archbishop was not telling people how to vote.

On June 24 Archbishop O'Connor had said, "I don't see how a Catholic in good con­ science can vote for a candidate who explicitly supports abor­ 'tion."

Cuomo seized that statement as fodder for his own ongoing cO':llments on the role of religion in politics, saying in a New York Times interview published earlier Aug. 3 that "now you have the archbishop of New York saying that no Catholic can vote for (New York Mayor) Ed Koch ... nor for (New York's Democratic Sen.) Pat Moynihan, or Mario Cuomo-anybody who disagrees with him on abortion."

Archbishop O'Connor said in a statement issued Illite Aug. 3 that "I have never said anywhere at any time that no Catholic can vote for''' Koch, Moynihan, Cuomo or anyone else who dis­ agrees with ,the church on abor­ tion.

"Nor," the archbishop added, "have ,I ever made such a state­ ment to the governor or anyone else as, 'OK, now I want you, Mr. Governor, to insist that everybody believe what we be­

iJieve.' It would indeed be foolish

for me to make 'such statements,

just as in my judgment it would

be foolish ·for anyone ;to imply

that I have in fact made such

statements."

Cuomo had been expected to

give a speech to the Interna­

tional Platform Association on

the topic "Religion and Politics,"

which was supposed to have

been a !last-minute substitution

for a speech on another topic,

"A Case for the Democrats in

1984."

DANIEL G. CRONIN

Mr. Cronin, 83, died Aug 3 at Sancta Maria Hospital, Cam­ bridge.

In his homily, Bishop Cronin commented on .the st$war:t leadership qualities of his father and on how much he would be missed by his family. "He will ~ead us into heaven," he said.

In remarks at the end of the Mass, Archbishop Law PlPd trJ­ bute to the legacy of "four fine sons" left by Cronin.

A native and lifelong resident of Cambridge, where he was a member of St. Peter's parish, Cronin was a former building contractor. He retired as super­ intendent of construction for the Cambridge Housing Authority.

Instead, after receiving' an award for "the greatest keynote address in American history at a political convention," for his speech to the Democratic Na­ tional Convention, he told anec­ dotes but did not talk formalli about either Democrats or reli­ gion and politics. He told his audience instead that he would discuss the latter only if some" one asked him about it. Even­ tually, someone did.

He noted that the issue "is very much in the news now be­ cause President Reagan has in­ troduced it in various forms. He, frankly, is wrapping himself in it," which is acceptable, Cuomo said.

"I want to be free to be Cath­ olic, but that means you have to be free to be a Sikh . . . or ethical humanist, or whatever you choose," CUQmo said to the platform association, a public­ speaking group. "The point where I start jeopardizing your freedom by interpolating my 'personal beliefs" upon everyone

else, all religious freedom will suffer, he added.

In his Aug. 3 statement, Arch­ bishop O'Connor said that "as archbishop of New York it is enither my responsibility nor my desire to evaluate the qualifica­ tions 'of any individual of any political party for any public office or of any individual hold­ ing public office.

"My sole responsibility is to present, as clearly as I can, the formal official. teaching of the.

Catholic Church. I leave to those interested in such teaching whether or not the public state­ ments of officeholders and can­ didates accord with ,this teach­ ing," he said. He added he is "sure" that Cuomo intended "no criticisms of me personally or of my position as archbishop of New York."· Cuomo's appearance in Wash­ ington was protested by about 15 picketers outside the hotel where the event was held. They opposed his stand on abortion.

The Plight Goes On Either we ~ant to forget or we don't care. No matter our sentiments"the plight goes on. The refugee. problem of Southeast Asia continues. The boat people are still a reality. Somehow we have tried to put them out of our minds. In the national attempt to bury the entire Vietnam experience, we seemipgly want to avoid the problems that remain with' us.

No one knows exactly how many people flee Vietnam in a given month. Certainly the flow is much less than that of 1979. However, it is estimated that at least 50,000 people annually leave Vietnam. The statistics for Cambodia cannot even be estimated. Even if numbers are down, the plight of refugees is more agonizing than ever. ,Statistics gathered b¥ the United Nations High Com­ mission for Refugees put the number of people ,killed by pirates since 1982 at abo~t 2,000. More tJtan 2,000 women were 'raped. The reports of brutality and inhumanity are unspeakable.

Because refugee craft have become a common sight in the sea, more and more ships that could aid the dying, the wounded and the starving are passing them by. One such boat was passed by more than 50 other vessels. Everyone on the boat died, victims of indifference. . .The litany of woe is endless. The suffering and agony' of those seeking freedom are exacerbated by our lack of . concern. For too long we have buried and disregarded Vietnam and all that it stands for in' an attempt to purge our own national conscience., The veterans, and the MIAs of this tragic page of history have suffered as no other group of servicemen in the history of the nation.

The, Vietnam monument in Washington is but the beginning of the effort to salve the national conscience in this matter. We- must grant our Vietnam vets the same rights and benefits enjoyed by aJI other veterans, from health care to continuing education.

There must be understanding of the a~ony' of those confined to VA hospitals. Efforts must continue on every level of government toward swift resolution of the heart­ breaking MIA situation. Thousands of Americans still do not know the fate of husbands ,sons, brothers. All in all, there is much that must be done to restore human dignity to the American families who are, even today, Vietnam's victims.

There is no doubt that our indifference to our own has also affected those who were once our allies. Because they are far away and of a different race and color we somehow regard them as throwaways. But we as a nation have the responsibility to care for those deserted peoples floating about the SoutJ:1 China Sea, hoping and praying to find freedom.

Our i~volvement in Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, did not cease with the withdrawal of military forces. The responsibilities of that involvement remain a national obligation. We cannot ignore the plight of the innocent, especially when we as a nation have been a catalyst in creating the situation they novy face. To try to obliterate Vietnam from the American conscience would be unjust and inexcusable~ We may not ignore an obligation simply because it conjures up bitter memories of the past.

The plight goes on. So too must our care and concern.

The Liturgy of the Hours

• By Fahter Kevin J. Harringtbn Since the Vatican Council the word ministry has taken on re­ newed meaning. Pastora1 minis­ try is seen as shared by clergy and laity.

Certainly there' are still roles reserved for ordained ministers; however, there has b,een unpre­ cedented sharing of power and responsibility. The new Code of Canon Law has outlined positions of lay leadership in pastorai min­ istry undreamed of in the past.

The new Code, with its re­ newed emphasis upon lay parti­ cipation; encourages a11 of Chdst's faithful to take part in the Liturgy of the Hours.

Prior to the Council priests prayed the breviary in Latin but with the translation of the pray­ ers into the vernacular, a rich treasure has become accessible to wII Catholic.s. As the laity has become more schooled in sacred scripture, these treasures have become more appreciated.

With- declerica1ization of the breviary, Catholics began to ap­ preciate it in the, same way as our Episcopalian brothers and sisters 'have for years treasured the pr!1yers in the Episcopalian Book of Common Prayer.

Within the Fall River diocese, many parishes are now praying

the Liturgy of the Hours after songs of praise to God's glory . morning or evening Mass; and and honor, pleas for forgiveness parishioners have become so and prayers of heartfelt thanks­ familiar. with the Ibrevi,ary that giving for answered prayers. they can lead the prayer.

I've been sick. Oh, not sick and needs attention, the family sick but virus sick that laid feels disoriented and angry. Who going to cook? To drive? To me low for a week or so. is stop fights?

Generally, I'm healthy but They begrudgingly bring her about every 18 months I get what we used to caU a bad head cold and now call a virns that mov~ from a day of III pounding head to a day of a full nose to a day of laryngitis to a day of bronchitis and so on - the kind of person you hate to sit next to in chureh.

By the time it works its way out through the soles of my feet I'm ready to live again. I'm not one of those persevering types who carries on and suffers silent­ ly when I'm sick. My sister once said that when I'm sick I sleep until I'm well and that's about it.

But my famHy - well, God bless them - nobody could ever be more supportive when I'm sick. They take over the house­ hold and teU me not to worry.

They pop in when they come home to see if I need an~thing, to ask how I feel, and to tell me of their day.

They take my phone caBs and patiently explain why I can't talk. In short, they're everything a sick mother dreams of. I thought aU families were like this unti,l I Qegan .,,Interviewing fami­ lies for my book, "Traits of a Healthy FamHy," and I found that many mothers are resented for being sick. The caregiver in the family is not supposed to need care. When she get~ sick

food, their very bearing showing her what a chore and imposition it is. As she lies there wonder­ ing ·if her head will ever stop pounding, they ask her what they're supposed to do about dinner and where their soccer' shorts are.

The difference betwee.n how a healthy and not-so-hea:l'thy fam­ ily deals with parental inness shows up in their sense of shwred responsihilty. Responsibility in these fami'lies extends beyond sharing chores to sharing sup­ POIlt, sensitivity, peacemaking and care. Spouses and children not only expect to step in and help out when another is overly­ busy or HI but are eager to do so. . In families where this traU is not well-developed, we usually find parents who overly serve their children. They don't ask enough of them when they're well and when they .aren't, the family suffers' and complains rather than serves and cares.

One mother in such a family told me that her adolescents fought so much about who was going to make dinner that she finaNy got up and made it, even though she could barely stand.

How foolish of her. Any adoles­ cent who can't make a family meal isn't hungry enough. Or caring enough.

Parents aren't doing their chB­ dren any favor by eliminating for them the opportunity to serve. If parents give, give, give, children will take, take, take.

Shared .responsibility has to be taught and re:taught.

And chirldren need to feel the rewards of responsible achieve­ ment, especial'ly when they serve without being asked. Children feel good about themselves when they can take over. Maybe they won't fold the laundry as neatly as we do or cook the hot dogs aU the way through but they have done it and that's what counts.

I don't want to give the im­ pression ,that I have the perfect­ ly healthy family. I don'it and I don't know anyone who has.

But I do know this - that when I need caregiving and solicitous concern and love, I get it. That tells me I'm more than a servant in this family . . . and for that, '1 thank God (and my family).

Must the host be wheat?

FATHER JOHN DDETZEN

Q. I am a celiac-sprue

patient, which means that I cannot consume food that has gluten products. Such products include wheat, oats, barley and rye.

At present the only gluten 1 consume Is In the bread 1 re­ ceive in Holy Communion. As an almost daily communicant, this does not help my medical prob­ lem. 1 realize that. Comnllmlon Is offered under both species but this is not always available for the faithful.

There are many breads includ­ ing rice, potato, com and soy that are not gluten. Could any of these meet the eucharistic regu· lations and be substituted for wheat bread? (N.J.) A. Yours is not an uncommon a problem as you might think.

I know several celiac-sprue pa­ tients with the same concern.

In all cases I have dealt with personally, patients were able to receive Communion if they give them a small par,t of the host. If they receive only a silver of the host, and consume it slowily, none of them seems to have any significant prob­ lem. Perhaps this would work for you.

I assume you go to Mass usu­ ally in the same church. If even a smaH part of the host is a danger for you, please talk with the priest. I'm sure he would ar­ range for ''you to receive Com­ munion under the form of wine.

Church regulations provide that eucharistic bread must be made from whe,at; any of the other grains you mention could not be used for valid eucharistic bread.

Q. What Is an appropriate offering to give to the priest at a funeral Mass? Is It possible to have a Mass offered where 1 reside in Florida, and then have the casket opened and another Mass in Minnesota where I will be buried? (Fla.) A. In some dioceses, appro­ priate .stipends for such thhlgs as weddings and funerals are established by the bJshop. In mQst cases, however, such things are left to -local parish custom or to the discretion and desires of ,the individuals themselves.

If you wish something more specific, ask your parish priest or another priest in your area concerning ,the practice in your parish or locality.

I:Iaving two Masses or other funeral services in localities where you and your family are known is perfectly fine and not at all uncommon. I suggest you make the arrangements now, however, either with the priests involved or with a member of your family_ Q. I was deeply interested In your recent reply to the woman seeking advice about the conse­ quences of leaving her alcoholic husband.

I feel quaUified to comment as I lived with thep roblem for 20 years myself. Fortunately, a few years ago I was urged to try Al· AlIlon. .

I can unequivocally say that AU·Anon (anrd subsequently Al· coholics Anonymous) saved our marriage anell very possibly our lives.

While you answered the w0­ man's question, I feel you mlss­ ed a golden opportunity to help her and COUllltIess others to find the solace anell practical help that Al·Anon gives millions of people "one day at a time."

One of our main problems is educating clergy and the mecn· cal professions. Priests and doc· tors are the ones who have ac· cess to the hurting masses and . are in a position to do most good with a few Imowledgeable words.

(Florida) A. Several times in .this col­ umn, as well as in my book, I have urged relatives of alcoholics to contact AI-Anon. Your letter and those of many others indi­ cate it's ,time to do it again.

The assistance you found is typical and could greatly assist 6thers to cope with the family tragedies alcohol can bring.

Ail-Anon and AA answering services are available in every sizable community. They wiH provide literature and direct personal assistance if that is desired.

If they are not in your phone ·book, write to AI·Anon Family Group Headquarters, Box 182, Madison SquaTe Station, New York, N.Y. 10010. They will help you get in touch with the nearest group.

Reagan' asks

THE ANCHOR-Dioc'ese of Fall River-Fri.,August 10, 1,984

-=-----------------------God in the news

Continued from page one Africa, as Cuomo" claimed in the Democratic NationaJ1 Convention' keynote speech that put him into the national Hmelight?

- Did Archbishop John O'­ Connor of New York go too far in telling Catholics how to vote, a1Ccording to Cuomo, when the . archbishop said, "I don't see how a Catholic in good conscience can vote for a candidate who ex­ picitly supports abortion?" . -,. Or did Archbishop James Hickey of Washington go too far in the other direction, giving Catholic voters' such a long list of political issues to address that he "efrectively muzzles and .handcuffs Catholic voters" by "minimizing" the abortion issue, as claimed by the c?nservative Catholic weekly, The Wanderer? .After Cuomo criticiZ'ed Arch­ bishop O'Connor in a New York Times dnterview published Aug.

3, the archbishop said he does

not intend to evaluate individual

candidates Ql" parties on issues

of morality and public policy. He said he would present church teachings but would leave it up to voters to determine whether positions of candidates jibe with church teaching.

A week earlier, however, the St. Louis Archdiocesan Pro-Life Committee held a press confer­ ence to caution voters about the Democratic platform on abor­ tion. The committee called abor­

tion the "central, hasic issue" of this year's presidential cam­ paign. . Bishop Elden F. Curtiss ~f Helena, Mont., wrote July 25 that Catholics face a "serious moral dilemma" over the Demo­ cratic ticket's pro-abortion position on the one hand, and the Republican administration's poli­ cies on nuclear arms, CentIral America and domestic poverty on the other.

The Reagan campaign began early to work for Catholic votes.

On July 26, in one of his first official campaign appearances, the president attended the eth­ nic ,festival of St. Ann's Parish jn Hoboken, N.J., and made sev­ eral religiously grounded ap­ ,peals for the RepUblican ticket.

He ci1ted Democratic opposition to his compaigns for tuition tax credits and voluntary prayer in public schools and his opposition to abortion.

On Central America he said his administration has aligned itself more wdth "the testimony of the pope than the claims of a communist clique."

President Reagan met with Archbishop Pio Laghi, the Holy See's ambassador to the United States, on ·Aug. 1 to discuss tift­ ing of U.S. economic sanctions "' on the pope's' native Poland.

Whatever value the meeting may have had for U.S. policy toward Poland. it also was seen as part of Reagan's effort to woo Cath­ 'olic votes in an. election year.

Ms. Ferraro's CathoMcism and her views on, abortion alone would ~eenough to make the church a focus 'of campaign con­ troversies.

But even apart from that, the

church would have been guaran­ teed vis~bi-lity in this year's cam· paign because of the dncreasing activism of the bishops on major public policy issues - most no­ taJbly on the U.S. role in Central America and the morality of nu­ clear detrrence.

Gov. Cuomo argued in rus New York Times interview that 'President Reagan played a majoI: role in creating the controversy because he "has Wtrapped him· self in' religiosity."

Speaking to reporters in Wash­ ington Aug. 3, Cuomo said, "We see the president repeatedly making. much of religious dssues like abortion, homoseX'llality. ...Allof this is not inappropriate.

What I am suggesting ds that there are other religious people . . . The whole question of ·re­ ligion and politics is in danger of being co-opted by a single kind of religious group."

Victory Continued from page one The famiJIy display case holds some 3,000 medals and ribbons won by their children, including some from Dan, who before his accident played basketball and lacrosse and swam competitively.

Among the Andrews chH<fren, Theresa and Dan are especially close, Mrs. Andrews said. After Dan's accident, which occurred before his sophomore year at the

University of Nor-th Corolina, Chapel H~ll, Theresa 'left the .

University of Rodda, where she wiII resume her studies in physi­ cal therapy this fall, to be closer to him and tIrain for the Olympics near home. Dan was hospital­ ized ,until the day after Thanks­ giving. He plans to resume his college career in September. .

Murray Stephens, coach of the North Bailtimore· Aquatic Club who worked with Miss Andrews throughout the year, said win­ ning a gold medal "doesn't hap­ pen by mistake."

"Although she was predicted to finish fourth in the race, Stephens said of her, "I don't thirik there was anyone better prepared or in better shape than ~resa."

Her hard work paid off when she came in fjrst in the 100 backstroke, in 1:02.55, the best time of her career.

"I just wanted ,to win a medal so I could g~ over ,and give it to (Dan,") she told USA Today.

"I'm so glad jt's gold."

Politics and the Catholic press

By

i.lz s.

Armstrong

WASHINGTON (NC) - The choice of Rep. Geraldine Fer­ raro of New York, a Catholic, as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, and the emergence of religion as a campaign issue in a perhaps more intense way than anyti~e since .1960, means the Catholic press will have even more reason than usual to cover the 1984 campaign.

It also raises the old quest~on that crops up with every elec­ tion, whether it is for town council or the presidency: How far can the religious press and other publications of non-profit organizations go in deaIing wdth electoral issues without risking loss of tax exempt status with the Internail Revenue Service?

According to fede~ law. non­ profit tax-exempt organizations are prohibited from working either for or against particular candidates. As a service, non­ profit publications can provide candidate surveys or voting records as long as they deal with a variety of issues and avoid any editorializing or other demon-. strations of apparent biases.

The Catholic ~ess Associa­ tion, in 1980 guidelines it still considers applicable, also ad­ vised religious papers to con­ sider accepting political adver­ tisements from all candidates, regardless of their positions on certain issues such as abolition, ·in order to avoid ~ny appearance of favoritism.

The federal government's stand raises a First Amendment ques­ tion applying not so much to the isSue of freedom of religion but to the issue of freedom of the press. Editors can - and some have - ,interpreted the IRS posi­ tion to be a form of censorship, interference and prior restraint against their right to editorial­ ize as they see fit.

In fact in 1980 one Catholic journalist, Oblate Father Broian Wallace, who then edited the San Antonio diocesan paper, To­ day's Cathqlic, pointedly said "nuts" to the IRS oin an editorial and suggested that Ronald Rea-

gan was the only candidate who a panel of bishops, said "We specifically do not seek the for­ had a clearly anti-abortion posi­ tion. mation of a 1I'e1:igious voting This year, in the gu:ide1ines- it bloc; nor do we wish to instruct issues periodic~ly on the issue, persons on how they should vote Ithe U.S. Catholic Conference by endorsing candidates."

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Father Angelo .Scolozzi .is in a new min­ istry to the poor because of a Christmas present he received when he was. 35 years old.

At the time, during the 1960s, the· Italian-born priest was serv­ ing a parish in an affluent mid­ dle-class U.S. city.

The' gift Father' Scolozzi re­ ceived was Malcolm Mugge­ ridge's life of Mo_ther Teresa of Calcutta, "Something Beautiful­ for God." The book changed his life.

"The life of Mother Teresa opened something inside of me," he told the Clarion lierald, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

"I had come to realize that I could not be content living the comfortable life of a priest in a middle-class American commu­ 'nity, with, air-conditioned home and car, television and easy chair; and -a hignball before din­ ner." . Father Scolozzi decided that he wanted to become a follower of Mother Teresa, so he' wrote

to her. He was invited to join the Missionary Brothers of Cha­ rity, a community of men she had founded in Los Angeles.

But later he met her in person and she changed her mind with Fe~ard to her plans for him.

"I would like to start a new order," she told Father Scolozzi.

"I want someone· to start a new order," she told Father Scolozzi.

"I want someone with a contem­ plative background," she added, indicating that it was settled: She was choosing him as her disciple for the job.

The new order, the Universal Brothers of the Word, is based in New Orleans. It is a con­ templative community whose "outside" involvement is "for the evangelization of the poor­ est - the street people.

"But every day part of. our life is spent in adoration of Jesus in the· Blessed Sacrament. Ado­ ration is our first duty,'" said ,Father Scolozzi.

Adoration periods are at sun­ rise and at sunset, two hours

each time, and the brothers al­ ways' sing the Divine Office.

Three Haitian novices who are making' the first year of their novitiate in the small frame house under Father Scolozzi's direction, accompany the sing­ ing with drum and maracas.

Father Scolozzi said he wel­ comes inquiries from men inter­ ested in finding out more about the Universal Brothers of the Word. "We are not known yet," he said. "This is our debut."

The brothers follow a rule centered around 15 statutes taken from the rules of the Mis­ sionary, Sisters of Charity. "But now we are developing a full constitution very similar to the rule of Mother Teresa," he added.

Th~ community will include priests and brothers, but all are considered brothers. "The priest­ hood' will be open to them, but many will remain not ordained," he said.

The address of the community is 2139 Ursulines Ave., New Orleans, LA 70116.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The press '''has shown a distressing unwillingness to question tl:1e as­ sumptions and facts behind Ron­ ald Reagan's military policy," ,former Sen. George McGoyern, D-S.D., said at a recent national conference in Washington mark­ ing the church's annual World Communications Day. He criticized "blithe accept­ ~ ance" by the media of Reagan administration statements "with­ out employing even simple com­ mon sense' skepticism as to the re.a~oning and numbers behind them."

The conference, which focused on the media's role in shaping public opinion on nuclear arms issues, was sponsored by the U.S. Catholic' Conference Department of Communication, the Catholic

ences. We are instead, and we ought always to force ourselves to be, in a manner always more adequa,te, humble 'servants of the servants of God.''' The pope said the "most stu­ pendous things" during the Holy Year, were those which happen­ ed to so many souls at the lev~ of conscience, where human re­ pentance and divine pardon car­ ried ,them to new life through the grace of the sacrament."

Churches throughout the world should make sure \priests are present at convenient hours for the sacrament of penance, the pontiff said. He said that cathe­ drals and shrines, particularly, should strive to be "places of mercy," so that people always can find the grace of God's for­ giveness.

Some Holy Year pilgrims to St. Peter's Basilica complained of rough treatment by confessors, but the situation improved after authorities learned of the prob­ lems.

Some confessors lacked "pro-. dence and patience," said Arch­ bishop Mario Schierano, head of the Holy Year committee, in a letter to the head of the con­ fessors assigned to St. iPeter's.

Children and socializing

By Dr. James. and ~ary KenD¥ Dear Mary: My daughter, 8 years old, never seems to be happy. She Is very shy IJn public and never wants I to spend the' night with any ~ends, or go to any classmates' 'birthday parties.

We try to encourage her all we C8Dl but I can't seem to mo­ tivate her. She Is an only child and has everything she' ever wanted. My husband thinks this Is Just a stage. Is It?

Each condition has positive and nega­ tive characteristics.

An only child tends to mix well with adults. These children appear'more "mature" than their peers. This matlD'ity may be mis­ leading, however.

China restores ,Fr•.Ricci grave PEKING (NC) - China has finished restoring the grave ot Father Matteo Ricci, an Italian Jesuit missionary who introduced the Catholic faiith to China In the 16th century.

The graves of two of Father Ricci's fellow missionaries, Bel· giangian Father Ferdinand Ver· biest and Gennan Father Johan Adam SchaH Von Bell, also have been repaired, according to Chin­ ese mews accounts.

The graves had been damaged iby Chin~'s Red Guards during the cultund revolJution of the 1960s. Restoration began in 1980.

Catholics in China are divided between those who recognize the pope's authority and the mem­ bers of the offiiClaJly sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Asso­ ciation, who do not.

After Father Ricci's death ~n Peking in 1610, the emperor of China honored his grave with' an imperial consecration.

Last year, TBJiwan marked the 400th anniversary of Father Ricci's sept. 10, 1593, arrival in China.

A scholar oll the Chinese clas· sics, the priest is credited with bridging the oultural gap between Christianity and China. Father Ricci believed if Chinese intel­ lectull!1s could be won to Chris­ tianity, the rest of the nation would follow tllleir lead.

He composed more than 20 volumes in Chinese on varied topics, including mathematics and literature, and is considered the most respected foreign figure in Chinese Hterature.

By the time of Father Ricci's death, there were 2,500 Cath­ olics in China. He reportedly told his coHeagues. "I ~eave before you an open door."

At the time of the Chinese Communist revolution in 1949, there were an estimated 3.3 mil· Hon Catholics in China. A wave of persecution followed the revo­ lution in which numerous church­ men were killed, jailed or ex­ peUed. But since 1976, more than 200 Catholic buildings have reopened in China, and visitors there can attend Mass ip most <large cities, Archbishop Dominic Tang of Canton, China, said earlier this year in an interview with the Hawaii Catholic Herll!1d.

Archbishop Tang said that "Catholics loyal to the Holy Father" can "go to the patriotic church to receive the sacra­ ments, but of course they are not happy with· the arrange­ ment."

TV grant program WASHINGTON (NC) A $600,000 grant program to help meet capital expenses of d'io-, ceses affiliated with the Catholic Telecommunications Network of America has been launched by the Catholic Communication Campa:ign and Foundations and Donors Interested in Catholic Activities. 46 dioceses and the Maryland Catholic Conference are CTNA members.

Compensatingtbe victim of crIme

I 1-'-··

A lonely park after dark, or perhaps a poorly lit park­ ing lot; a lone walker on the way home from a late night at work - and a lurking figure, watching, waiting. These are the ingredients of all too many news items, as yet anothilr per­ son faUs victim to a violent c~.

.

- Only in exceptionad cases do news stor.ies follow the progress of the victim toward recovery.

But in aM cases of violent crime, the trauma is not over with the attack. And there are the prac­ tical considerations: medical bills, time lost from work-who will pay for those? And who wiM care for the dependents of a victim who dies? ' Compounding these tragedies is the gruesome and ironic ten­ dency of criminals and their confidants to capitalize on ,tlleir crimes by selling the rights to their stories. The perpetrator of crime reaps' profits,_ whHe the

'victim or the victim's children are 'left to pay their own way. A sorry state of affairs, that leave . us asking even mom-e questions.

Traditional criminal ~aw pro­ vides no answers. That ~aw came about' in old England, to remedy "breaches of the King's peace;" not to compensate the individual victim, but ;to protect society against recurrent attacks - by the lawless.

Today, theundel"lying principle of criminlrl ~aw remains pretty much 'the sam,e. This is why criminal actions Me instituted and financed by the state, not, by individual victims, and why the state, not the victim, re­ ceives fines paid by a convicted criminal. , In Massachusetts, however, since 1967 not all victims of vIolent crime have :been left to pay their own way. In 'many in­ stances, the state wiU reim­ burSe them for medical expenses and time lost from work, and will assist a victim's dependents if he or she dies due to the crime.

This reimbursement, however, is available only to victims of violent crime (invooving physical force, or perhaps the threat of physical force), who have suf-, 'fered bodily injuries as a result of the crime. The state does not compensate for property 'loss.

For instance, if your car is' stolen or your house burglar­ ized, the state I will not reim­ burse you.

If a mugging lands you in the hospital and out of work for 'a couple of days, the state may reimburSe you for hospital costs and lost wages, b~t not for your pilfered wallet.

I~ '1977, Massachusetts adso to ;the profitaeering of the story-telling criminal; Gains fIrom the sale of crime story rights must now be placed in a state escrow account for three years, for Ute benefit of .all of the cl"iminal's victims.

But not every' victim of a violent crime will be eligible for compensation by the common­ weadth. A victim who did not reo port the crime within 48 hours, without good eXO\llle, is not eli­ gible. Furthermore, only those persons running up over $100 in medical btlls or losing two or more weeks of work are eligibie; and reimbursement received from medica:l insurance or wage replacement is deducted from any state compensation award.

Persons always ineligible for state compensation include the criminal himself, accomplices of the criminal, the criminal's film· Hy, and ,persons Hving with the criminal. Thus battered wives and children cannot receive state compensation for their physical injuries.

The amount of compensation recoverable is tightly capped.

The absoIute maximum for in­ juries resulting from anyone crime is $10,000. Since the aaw provides for a $100 deductible, the maximum that a victim can receive is $9,900.

First, ,as we've said, you must report a crime committed against you within 48 hours. If 'you haven't, your claim for com­ pensation will probably be re­ jectedunless there was a very good reason for the delay. Your claim m~st be filed no later than. one year after the crime occur­ red. Dependents of murder vic­ ,tims must file the claim within ~sponded

90 days after the death of the victim.

The place to file .your claim for compensation iUI1der this law is with the district court for your community. There is a $5.00 fil­ ing fee. With the claim you must, submit all available medicai re­ ports. rhe judge may also re­ quire that you undergo an addi­ tional physical examination.

These procedures are fairly stringent, as th~ claim fom- com­ pensation ds treated as a law­ suit against the commonwealth.

Your claim will not be treated like an insurance claim, where there' is an investigation and an informal decision by the insurer.

Rather, the Attorney General's office will be notified, and a tl"ial will be held, at which the valid, ity of your claim will be deter­ mined. The Attom-ney General's onice wiH represent the state; you or 'your lawyer will repre­ sent you.

It can lbe costly to press a compensation claim - perhaps costly enough to prevent victims from pursuing a perfectly valid' claim. Realizing this, the legis­ lature allowed for part (up to 15 percent) of the. compensation award to be for attorney's fees.

So if your injuries cost you $7,000, the judge 'could award you $7,000, and up to $1,050 additional for attorney's fees, for a total award of $8,050.

The attorney fee allowance does not raise the ceiling of $10,000 on compensation awards.

In Massachusetts, any crim­ inal hoping to capitaHze on his cr:ime by publicizing it will have to waU three years to see his profits, if he sees them at a:ll.

The' new law is directed at any person or business who contracts

with a convicted criminal or his agent for movies, books, TV or radio shows, live performances, 'and the like.

It requires that any proceeds be paid over to the state treas­ urer, instead of to the criminal and kept in an escrow account for the benefit of all victims of the criminal (not necessarily just those involved in the par­ ticwar crime story). The treas­ urer will publish newspaper no­ tices every six months or less, to ·let victims know the fund is thilre. The criminal may collect his money at the, end of three years, if no one has claimed it as compensation.

However, if you're a victim who wants to coMect from this fund, you have a' long road ahead of you. You'H have to hire a ~awyer and file a court action against the criminal, prove your injury and' receive an award from the court. This action must be a civil action brought by you for your damages, not by the state for the protection of so­ ciety; it must be tHed within three years of the escrow ac­ count's opening. ' Only if you are successful in .this suit will you be able to tap the escrow account.

The basic purpose of criminal law !l'emains the preservation of ";the King's peace," not the com­ pensation of, individuals; but Massachusetts has recognized that individuals, as weB as the community, are injured by crime.

While the. Commonwealth can't help every victim, it has made an effort, within its limited re­ sources, to assist those most in need.

,ratican uses space-age ways

to share its treasures with world

By John Travis VATICAN CITY (NC) - For centuries the Vatican has care­ fu'ily guarded its privacy. Now, however, it is using ~t and media projects to bring ,its im­ ages, and that of t!he papacy, to a growing worldwide audience.

Last year's U.S. tour of Vatican art showed ,the evangelical, cul­ tural and financial potential of such projects.

The Vatican's recent empha­ sis on using modern comunica­ tions and its willingness to share its cultural heritage have' left virtually no medium 'unused.

In addition to the unprecedent­ ed loan of art works, other Vati­ can projects include the market­ ing of man,uscript facsimilies, the sale of reproduction rights to the Sistine Chapel frescoes, a long-playing record using poems written by Pope John Paul II and Vatican-prodUCed fil~ and videocassettes about the pope.

"The media," the pope said during a world communications day talk this year, "can become, with their content, maMlous in­ struments for the diffusion of the Gospel in keeping with the times, in a way to reach even the most remote corners of the earth."

"Beginning with the U.S. tour, we've been trying to participate dn more joint ventures," said Cazilo Pietrangelli, d~recior of the Vatican museums. "More projects are on the way," he said.

This shift toward opening up the Vatican and its treasures be­ gan with Pope Paul VI, who wondered whether the Church had become a "jealous custodian of the works of the past."

Shortly afterward discussions began that Jed ,to last year's U.S. tour of 237 Vatican art works in the exhibit, "The Vatican Col­ lections: The Papacy and An:."

"We felt at that time we had to move out of the 'ma-usoleum'

tory for the restoration of mar­ ble works, and a Chicago group has paid for tlhe restoration of "The Madonna of Monte Luce," a painting by the school of Rap­ hael.

The U.S. tour was a watershed ev~nt, Persegati said, giving new impetus to collaboration between the Vatican museums and other museums and potential sponsors.

In the wake of the tour, the Vatican re~loaned one of the paintings, Caravaggio's "Deposi­ tion," to the National Museum of Art in Washington, D.C. It also has several dozen art works and artifacts on display at a pavilion in the 1984 World Ex­ , "Our argument was not, 'Let's position in New Orleans. send this stuff out and make a On July 20, a modern art ex­ lot of dough,' " he said. hibit in Seoul, South Korea, Nevertheless, the financial re­ opened with 56 sculptures and turns of many of the initiatives paintings furnished by the Vati" have made it possible for some can museums.

"It was sort of a return to an evangelical purpose," he said, "The works sent to the U.S., for example,. were evangelicafin the sense of what man is and what he's trying to achieve. They represent man's yearning for his best - and after all, ,that's part of our jQb, too."

to begin research on the science project and line up artifacts for the show. He said he had a "shopping Hst" of about 150 items, many of which would come Nom the Vatican museums, t1ibararyanct archives.

"The pope has been very in­ terested in reassessing church history and realigning the church with modern science," Bedini said.

No financial agreement has been reached with the Smithson­ ian, he said, but an eventual ar­ rangement may include royalties for the Vatican.

Royalties are a potential key to financial security for the Vati­ can oul,tural departments, as the Vatican Hbrary discovered after its recent agreement. to let a West German publisher reprint Vatican manuscripts. • Before the agreement, Arch­ bishop Alfons Stickcrer, recently­ retired prefect of the library, had throughout t!he 1970s sought ­ ~without success - outside finan­ cial support for library renova­ tions. ",paul VI said my plan to up­ date the l~brary was good, but that there was no money," Msgr.

Stickler said.

Then Belser House, a West German publisher, proposed re­ producing near-perfect facsimi­ Hes of Vatican manuscripts, us­ ing laser technology and veHum­ like paper.

But Msgr. Stickler's superiors were reluctant.

"They wanted insurance. They told me we wolrldn't do it unless there was no risk to the manu­ sc~ipts, which could not leave the Vatican," Msgr. Stickler said.

When Belser agreed to build a production Ilab next to the library aTchives, the Vatican ap­ proved the project.

The bottom lline, Msgr. Stick­ ler said, was an agreement that gives the Vatican between 8 and 10 percent royalties on all sales of the facsimiles. The deal made it possible for the library to con­ struct a much-needed new wing, inaugurated in April by Pope John Paul II. Belser's wOJ1ldwide marketing techniques have brought the re­ productions ranging from Ptolemaic maps to the Codex Benedictus -- to schools, libra­ ries and businessmen. Their hand-tooled bindings, gold-leaf application . and high quality have made the volumes an at­ tractive investment.

The Vatican museums used a similar agreement - the sale of e~clusive reproduction rights in financing a painstaking cleaning of the Sistine Chapel frescoes. Nippon Television of Japan paid the Vatican $3 mil­ lion for the right to reproduce the restored Michelangelo masterpieces in film, books, post­ cards, posters and slides.

The agreement was announced in 1983, and the project is ex­ pected to be completed in 1995.

While safeguarding of its art­ istic works has heen the Vati­ can's task for centuries, docu­ menting the papacy on film and videotape began in eaTnest only last year, with formation of the Vatican Television Ce~ter (CTV).

By Cecilia Belanger On a recent holiday Sunday we ran into car trouble. What to do - no garages open and who would want to disturb someone at home on a holiday?

We tinkered, looked, scratched our heads, but ljad no luck at getting 'the engine to turn over, although we knew that the trouble was with our fuel pump.

It was at this point that a long Line of good Samaritans be­ gan. First a young motorcyclist stopped. told us he knew noth­ ing about cars, but would be glad to relay a message to any­ one who might help.

Next a young married couple with two tots offered to get gas for us, but of .course that wasn't our problem. Then came a sec­ ond motorcyclist, then an elder­ ly couple who stopped to "keep us company" for ha!lf an hour, then a woman from a house down the road offered us coffee and the use of her phc;me. We thank­ ed her but preferred staying with the car, stilll hoping help would arrive. I was praying hard.'

Then I looked up and saw a truck marked "Auto Salvage." I flagged it down, a young man jumped out, looked under the hood and told us what we knew,. that our fuel pump had Ibreathed its last. . But this one knew about cars.

"I ,)ive down the road a piece and have some spare parts," he sai4.

"Even if I don't find anything, I'll come back to check on you."

As we waited hopefully for our friend's retu;:n, an elderly man came by in a pick'Up, stop­ ped and offered us a ride, then lefit his phone number .in case all eise failed.

St. Michael's .College, Win­ ooski, Vt., has been chosen as an outstanding example of a successful institution of higher education ~n a report prepared by former U.S. commissioner of education Dr. Earl J. McGrath and Dr. Robert S. Webber fQr the Murdock Charitable Trost.

The report analyzed 15 viable private liberal arts colleges to determine the reasons for ·their success. St. Michael's, the o~y Catholic college studied, was dted as an institution "whose goals, programs, fiscal condition, administration and constituencies were known to be exemplary."

"St. Michael's is obviously one of the top colleges in the study and in the country," survey a,u­ thor McGrath said in a letter to SMC President Dr. Edward L. Henry.

CYO Baseball Playoffs Upcoming The Fail River A'rea CYO Base­ baH League's post-season play­ offs wiH start next Sunday with the team finishing third vs. the team finishing sixth, and fourth vs. fifth in the quarter-finals.

Teams finishing first and sec­

ond get a bye in the quarter­ finals. After -last Monday's ac" tion Swansea was setting the pace with a 15-4 record and St. Michael's Club, 14-4, was in the runnerup spot. Swansea had one more game remaining on its schedule and St. Michael's C-Iub had two. If .each wins those games they would finish their regular season with 16-4 Il'ec­ ords, tied for first place.

Our Lady of Health, 13-6, was in third place with its only re­ maining. game being against St. Michael's Club. St. Michael's parish, 12-7, was in four.th place and had only a game against Notre Dame remaining in the regular season. Those four teams have definitely gained the 'play­ offs. ·St. Patrick and Notre Dame, each 10-9, were tied' for fifth place but St. William, 9-10 still had a mathematical chance to gain a berth in the "select six."

The regular schedule ended Wednesday with the dikelihood that playoffs would be required to determine final standings.

The Bristol County CYO Base­ ball League post-season playoffs are expected to start some time next week but the alignment of berths was uncertain at press time.

Entering this week's play, Ana­ wans were setting the pace with a 12-7-1 (won, lost, tied) record and 25 points. Defending cham­ pion North End was 11-9-1 with 0

23 points. Kennedy was in third place with a 10-6-2 slate and .22 points followed by South End had a· 9-9-1 showing with 19 points and Maplewood was 4-14-1 with nine points.

Instead, of rJding a norse, Father Michael Winterer packs his Volkswagen Rabbit with hym­ nals, parish' bulletins, Catholic IMlwspapers and various Mass items in traveling to parishes and missions across the state: His scheduled Masses bring . him to four parishes and small towns where only one or two Catholic families lJive. He covers over 300 miles each weekend.

Permanent deacon James Mc­ Elfresh usually travels with the priest on Saturday nJ~ht or Sunday morning trips. Other times, Father Winterer rJdes alone.

The priest makes special an· nouncements 'at each parish on his route. In Richfield on a re­ cent trip he offered special con­ gratulations to a couple whose marrJage had just been blessed.

The Greater New Bedford area offers some very nice restaurants, including the recently opened Joseplis in Mattapoisett. Its ad­ vance fanfare stressed that reser­ vations were not accepted, but our party of three decided to chance it and see if we could get in (a really horrible way to begin dinner).

It's about time all restaurants in the area accepted reservations, at least from credi,t card holders.

Then if a party does not show, a reservation fee could be charged. This business of chan­ cing it or yvaiting in a lounge for an hour is worthy of boycott. So often a no-reservation policy be­ comes merely an excuse for pushing overpriced cocldails.

With that aside, le~'s _get back to Joseph's. If you. knew the building bl,lfore, you wouldn't recognize it today. A wonderful has been renovation job done on a rather dubious hill­ billy ranch {country music on the hoof). The decor is clean; imag­ inative and comfortable, sort of wall to waH country. One thing they forgot, however, was to do sometlhing about the noise.

Joseph's ds the home of clatter and clang, no doubt, due to its wooden ceilings. Whatever the cause, it is not a place to go for quiet dining.

One would call the menu French and it would be difficult for a MacDonald's fan to fJgure out. Just a bit too pretentiJJIS for the area. But the food was good. The -Caesar salad, tossed at tableside, was quite respect­ · able and served on a correct glass salad plate. Our three en­ trees ~ere very well prepared.

The veal grand mamier had a true --light sauce, the deboned duck was sweet and delicious and the steak a poivre was just right to the taste and not over­ come. with peppercorns. The wine was only fair due to what we found out was indifferent storage.

Prices are not cheap nor out of sight. Desserts for the most part are homemade. The food is en­ joyable and if that's aU you seek in a restaurant, Joseph's' will suit you to a tee.

If you expect more, then don't get your hopes up. The couple at the next table to us, for in­ stance, spOrted a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt, for him and a match· ing (JUtfit with hot pants, for her.

In short, the lack of a good code rna.kes Joseph's a less than 'Comfortable place to din~~ Maybe things wJ1l improve. If so, Joseph's could !become one of the area's best Il'estaurants. ~ress

"Fat'her Fitness" preaches, • practIces too MILWA-UKEE (NC} - Francis­ can Father Conrad Targonski .practices what he preaches, es­ pecially when he urged people to shape up physically.

The 36-year-old priest begins daily workouts before 5 a.m. As he runs 40 miles weekly. he prays and meditates on -sermon material.

He also lifts weights and can' bench press 310 pounds.

"Father Fitness" believes be­ ing physically strong can he,lp people serve God as f.u1ly as pos­ s~ble. He says being in shape gives him energy and intensity to meet his own vocation's chal­

lenges.

"'People in American religious society' have to proclaim· the Gospel in the physical and spirit­ ual spheres," Father Targonski declares. .

He says his interest lin keeping fit helps the inner-city .youth with whom he works to relate to him. Aiding people to improve their physical condition often lets him establish a relationship in which they can feel comfort­ able accepting his spiritual coun­ sel, he notes.

-Father Targonski, ordaiped in 1972, is vocations director at Milwaukee's Franciscan sponsor­ ed Tw fraternity house, where he counsels young'men consider­ ing the order.

His example seems to have had an impact on the fraternity

members. He says all the resi­

dents have begun to exercise and some smokers have quit.

He advises those who want to become more physically active to begin with a checkup, then find an activity they Hke and can do.

His greatest thrill comes from running a marathon and getting. "psyched up" for it, he says, describing the night before a race ,as "almost a prayer vigil." , During one race, he said, he kept his pace by reciting the rosary over and over in Polish, French and English.
