FOR SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS CAPE COD & THE ~SLAND5

COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC) ­ Meeting on the theme, "Family; The Soul of Society," the Knights of Columbus reiterated its com­ mitment to preservation of tra­ ditional family values at its lOlst Supreme Council meeting Aug. 2-4. .

Delegates expressed commit­ ment to natural family planning and heard speakers emphasize the need for a strong family in today's society.

The head of the Vatican's highest body for the family reo minded the Knights of Pope John Paul II's statement that the family is "the first and vital cell of society."

"Society cannot do without the family, not only because the family provides it with new gen­ erations of members, but because it is a 'school of deeper human­ ity' and the last bulwark against

. ,-i

dictatorships, violence and any form of social pressure that de· prives man of his freedom and individuality," said Archbishop Edouard . Gagnon, propresident of the Pontifical Council for the Family.

Supreme Knight Virgil De­ chant told the Knights to have "the courage of· our convictions when our principles are tram­ pled upon and our rights are ca.valierly disregarded."

"When a human life in the womb is willfully destroyed, it is murder," he said. "When a so-called defective child is starved to death in the hospital after birth, it is a crime so cal­ lous, so heinous, that our lang­ uage has no word to describe it.

THE MUSICAL ALDENS: From left, Joanna, Harvey, Kathy, Margaret, Chns.

The Alden family

., . U,SlCS theiI1 tliing M , I I

By Pat McGowan . Want something done of a musical nature? You might try the Alden family of St. Ann's parish, Raynham.

Among them, Harvey and Jo­ anna Alden and their children, Chris, Margaret and Kathy, sing, dance, conduct a band, direct musicals and play organ, piano, guitar, drums and clarinet.

They're generous with their . talents, or, as their father puts it, "We can't say no."

As.a result, Joanna Alden has for 30 years been the organist for Sacred. Heart Church, Taun­ ton, her native parish. She also frequently sings or plays the organ for weddings and funerals at other area churches, receiving the Marian Medal a few years ago in recognition of her contri­ butions to diocesan life.

As an outgrowth of her in­ volvement, she was an early and' enthusiastic member of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians, an organization of which the Fall River diocesan chapter became a - full-fledged member this summer. Mrs. Al­ den, its program ch'airman for the coming year, reports that the fall calendar will open with an evening of recollection at St. Patrick's parish, Wareham, con­ ducted by Father Robert Kaszyn­

ski, pastor of St. Stanislaus Church, Fall River.

. \ Of course there will be sing­

ing. "When we meet, we shake

the building," said Mrs Alden..

Her children, she says, occa­ sionally sing with the Sacred Heart choir. Chris, like his fath­ er, is a baritone, while Margaret is an alt~ and Kathy a soprano.

Mrs. Alden is a mezzo-soprano.

The Whole family has partici­ pated in Taunton Little Theatre productiqns and in various talent shows, but their main involve­

ment nowadays is at Coyle-,

Cassidy High School, from which Chris, 18, has just graduate~ and' where Kathy, 16, will be junI . ior.

The bishops look at their pastoral

By Jim Lackey WASHINGTON (NC) - In the final pages of their pastoral let­ ter on war and peace the U.S. bishops make one last effort to answer two questions that vex­ ed them throughout the develop­ ment of the massive document.

Both defied simple answers.

One is, "Why do we address these matters fraught with such complexity, controversy and passion?" The other is simply, "What are we saying?"

The bishops say they address­ ed such difficult issues in the pastoral, "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response," because as church leaders they cannot avoid the responsibility of examining the moral dimensions of the nuclear arms race. What was created by God now can virtually be de­ stroyed by man, the bishops re­ mark.

"We cannot remain silent in the face of such danger ... We are simply trying to live up to the call 'of Jesus to be peace­ makers in our own time and situation."

In the simplest terms, what of the moment but by our Lord the bishops are saying, accord­ Jesus. The content and context of our peacemaking is set not ing to this section of the pastor­ al, is that the good end of de­ by some political agenda or fending one's country or pro­ ideological program but by the . tecting freedom cannot justify teaching of his church."

"Freed from the bondage of "We are called to be peace­ makers not by some movement war that holds it captive in its

threat, the world will at last be able to address its problems and to make genuine human progress so that every day there may be more freedom, more food and more opportunity for every hu­ man being who walks the face of the earth."

But as the l:>ishops conclude their pastoral 'they also empha­ size the need for courage, faith and perseverance.

"If ridding the world of the weapons of war could be done easily, the whole human race would do it gladly tomorrow.

Shall we shrink from the task because it is hard?" they ask.

The bishops also comment that "it is our belief in the risen Christ which sustains us in con­ fronting the awesome challenge

Vocations: From Where Will They Com~?

Many people are more than anxious about the very real vocation crisis in the American church. It is evident that this concern is shared by the pope.. The Holy See h~s ordered a comprehensive study of theological and college level seminaries in this country. .Its purpose is to determine how well our seminaries are forming candidates for the priesthood academically, pastorally, liturgically and spirit­ ually. . , I The current vocational crisis should not, however, be viewed as simply a seminary problem. The seminary is b~t one of the many areas that should concern us as we striye to revive interest in the vocation to serve the Lord in the . :. priesthood.

The church, indeed, has no choice but to move effec­ tively and quickly if it is to appeal to a generation of youhg people who have experienced the presence of God in their lives, who are searching for a, meaningful spirituality artd who have simply had it with the materialistic secularisrtt / I that permeates ou_r social order.

By 1990, just seven years away, 'it is estimated tliat there will be half as many priests as today, even withoht taking into account attrition among the aging clergy nor in the field and ~lready overtaxed beyond reason.

I The problems that developed in the American chur~h in the late 60s and early 70s wreaked their own' havoc ~n seminary lifestyles. The church still suffers from this fallout, it is true, but it should be remembered that this upheaVal I took place a decade ago.

I To its accumulated, baggage have been added toda~'s realities. A recession mentality which places its hope in the material, whose only god is that of the good market arid strong dollar, and whose consuming concerns are salari~s, interest rates and deflation does indeed create an atmosphete .1 . in which vocations do not flourish.

Because of the nature of our times, it becomes ever more important that our efforts to encourage vocations ate challenging, honest and even confrontational. Yet, despite dwindling numbers, we cannot just toss out a net and drag I any old catch into our seminaries. " Nothing is more damaging to the church than accep~­ ance of marginal candidates and nothing is more calculated I to repel those who may h~ve tr}le vocations.

We live in a time when people shop around for a parish, when many young people cease formal worship after co~­ firmation or high school, when moral indifference is' ~n accepted lifestyle and when the sense of belonging is ~ll too often not found in the local church. All these .factors I erode community.

Vocations will flourish only to the extent that all the ,committed people in the church see themselves a~ call~d to service. Ideally, a person will mor~ readily accept la call-to the ordained ministry if it is seen as evolving from a community which truly believes and lives its baptism~l call to the Christian life.. . .1 .

We will find an upsurge of candidates for ordinatiop . when each of us reflects the spirit of ,worship, the vision I of church and the sense of belonging. , As Pope John Paul II has aptly reflected, "The ecc1esial community gives proof of its strength and its maturity I with the vocations that succeed in flourishing in it."

Vocations, in short, come from community.

The Assumption of Mary

By Rev. Kevin J. Harrington

One of the most beautiful days in the Church's liturgical calen­ dar is the feast of the Assump­ tion of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Vnfortunately, some people denigrate Marian devotion as no longer relevant to our times even though the last two doc­ trines explicitly and solemnly defined by the church were the Immaculate Conception in 1854 and the Assumption in 1950.

Critics contend that recognition of these special privileges' of MalY has little or no bearing upon the harsh realities of our world. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The American bishops en­ couraged devotion to Mary in their recent pastoral letter, writ­ ing "We call upon Mary, the first disciple and the Queen of Peace, to intercede for us and for the people of our time that we may walk in the way of peace."

Oif course, to walk in the way of peace, we need to imitate our Blessed Lady's faith in Jesus Chrisf which is essential for our salvation. It was precisely through her faith that the Word of God was united to human na­ ture, iuid Christ's work of re­ demption began. Mary's privi­ lege~: are signs that should en­

OPENING PRAYER Dear Jesus, when you were a child, your mother, Mary, taught you to be sensitive and loving.

You learned this from her single­ hearted devotion to the will of your Father. May we too learn such singleheartedness that we will find our way back to our Father in heaven. Amen.

TO THINK ABOUT "Happy are the single-hearted for they shall see God.:' Because Mary was single-hearted, she kept her values in order and put the Lord first in her life. She was rewarded with the ultimate reward seeing God. How clearly do we see our goals? Do God and the things of God come first? Spending just a little time together sorting out your values and priorities may help your family to be single-hearted.

CLOSING PRAYER Read the prayer of Mary in Luke 1:46-55.

Babies don't wait

eel really feel torn," said the young mother-to-be. eel

want to stay home with my baby but I a~o want to keep my job. Is it possible to do both?"

This recurring question among couples calls for sober reflection and education. In our age of rapidly shifting cultural attitudes toward parenthood and profes­ sional life, many are struggling with a situation unheard of in earlier generations - a decision fraught with guilt, deep feelings of personal need, financial need, and desire to be in two places at once.

I don't' believe we've helped young couples sufficiently in making this decision. The ques­ tion is not what is possible but what is healthy for the' family.

There are many needs to be con­ sidered: the health of the new­ born, of the mother, of the couple, of the siblings, and of the family as a unit.

Of primary c~mcern is the ef­ fect on the newborn. The impor­ tant word here is "bonding."

Erik Erikson, a widely-respected authority on children and so­ ciety, claims that early bonding is crucial in fostering an infant's life long ability to develop trust in others. The infant needs a loving and consistent adult around for the first several months, one that he or she can trust to be there for survival and love needs.

Numerous studies have been done on infants deprived of ,this consistent adult in their early lives and the results aren't pleas­ ant. Their physical and emotional health can suffer to such a de­

gree that they are unable to com­ pensate for it, becoming emotion­ ally stunted in later' life. The same thing is demonstrated when young animals are taken from their mothers, placed in a warm fuzzy environment and fed regu­ larly but deprived of maternal comfort. Most simply give up and die.

Bibles don't usually do that but the fact is that the longi­ tudinal data just aren't in on the long-range effects of early bond­ ing deprivation on the many children' in our society whose mothers return to work within weeks after giving birth.

This isn't to imply that emo­ tional deprivation is inevitable.

We all know well-adjusted and loving adults who were reared in adverse circumstances and we know others who. are emotion­ ally stunted despite of a care and love infancy. .But the possibility remains.

Professionals disagree on the ba­ sics: how long a baby requires bonding and which parent or adult is essential. Some think only six months are needed; others two years. Some believe the mother is the only acceptable early nurturer while others say that any loving and consistent adult will do.

Most agree that bonding is necessary, however. I believe that parents need ,to hear and read what is written on the sub· ject and make their own de­ cision on providing it. If a lov­ ing grandparent or other con­ sistent adult is available, the de· cision is easier. Or if a couple can arrange work schedules so that one is with the baby most

of the time bonding is possible.

If, however, a couple is limit­ ed to ever-changing sitters, they should be aware of possible emo­ tional deprivation. Jobs are im­ portant but so are babies and those brought into the world de­ serve more than haphazard care.

They won't have a second chance at bonding in infancy and their parents will have a second chance on working.

I would like to see the bond­ ing topic an integral part of pre­ parenting education in our church, particularly in prenatal and prebaptismal classes. Our young parents would benefit from it and so will their new­ borns.

I often get a surge of grati­ tude when I contemplate the fact that I am a Catholic.

Our wonderful faith and fel­ lowshipr:,each out to this world and the next. Our spiritual net­ work is the most fascinating phenomena of all time. Our prayers promote peace, and the - dollars we donate make our faith real to those less fortun· ate. Whether you are a cleaning lady or a captain of industry, a scholar or a school dropout, a teenager or an oldtimer, a cop or a cardinal or even a column­ ist, you have the most important job in the world if you are Cath­ olic.

I realized this the other day when I got a superb letter from Tom Makin, spokesman for The Society for the Propagation of the Faith. He wrote in response to one of my preachy columns in which I advised the bishops to quit doing whatever it was they were doing that I didn't like and, instead, ','mount a tre· mendous evangelism drive to convert the world."

I love to lecture bishops. I like to think I know everything.

Telling bishops' to convert the world seemed like a pretty pro­ found piece of advice to give them. It put the bishops on the defensive, and it appealed great­ ly to my spiritual pride. What could be better. than that? Old know-it-all Reel really put the prelates in thei; place.

Makin wrote, in part: "I must point out that there is a, tremendous evangelism drive to convert the world ­ and the Society for the Propaga­ tion of the Faith forms the back­ bone of it.

"The Society is active in 100 countries, promoting mission awareness and raising funds for the mission church. The mission church is hundreds of local churches, mostly in the develop· ing world, that depend on ma­ terially rich dioceses for support while providing us with the spiritual energy of their young faith.

"Last year some 900 dioceses received $80 million from the worldwide Society. Half of that came from the United States.

The Society ensures that dio­ ceses like Bunia in Zaire, Busan in Korea, and Mendi in New Guinea exist.

"In many parts of the so-call­ ed Third World, the church pro­ vides the basic structure for the 'local society. Relief efforts would be impossible without this church structure.

The missions are the key to the future of the church in the world! And as Pope John Paul II said recently, 'When a Cath-

olic is aware of his faith, he be­ comes a missionary.'''

I have received thousands of communications from public reo lations men, but this letter from Tom was the best ever. I got up from my desk and walked over to see him at the office of the Society at 366 Fifth Ave., near 34th S1. Tom, 32, a Buffalo na­ tive and a Manhattan College graduate, is even more informa­ tive and enthusiastic in person.

He showed me around the effi· cient, attractive office, which takes up the entire 12th floor.

"Archbishop Sheen located the Society here when he was national director," Tom said. "He was a great spiritual leader who had a tremendous influence for the missions. In 1981 and 1982, the Society received $30 million in bequests. Those seeds were planted by Archbishop Sheen.

"The Society is extraordinarily efficient. Only a dime of each dollar contributed to us goes in­ to administration, promoti0l) or other fund-raising costs. The other 90 cents go to the needy churches in 900 dioceses in the underdeveloped' world.

"Right now,' 55 percent of all Catholics 'live in the under­ developed wor~d. This will rise to 70 percent by the year 2000.

The Society helps support 6,245 priests, sisters, brothers, semin­ arians and lay persons from this country who are serving in the missions." .

Tom introduced me to his boss, the affable and dedicated national director of the Society, Msgr. William J. McCormack.

Weare going to get together soon' for a long gab. I'll be in good company. To be a Catholic today is to be part of a tremend· ous evangelism drive to convert the world. This is really a great outfit that you and I belong to.

Race Continued from page one creased 92' percent, Ahmann said, but employment of that population increased only, 42 percent.

There has also been a "dra­ matic rise" in black households headed by women in' the period, he said.

"As for quality education and a 'decent income for blacks, we've been very negligent," he said, suggesting placards at the 1963 - march might have better carried a greater emphasis on "jobs" than "freedom."

"Without picking on anyone political leader, the responsi­ bility is ours," Ahmann said.· "Overall we have just not done the job and the problems are getting worse," he said.

In large urban areas, resources are not committed to '.'quality education," he said. He pointed to an inner city school in Chic­ ago which had no books.· "That sort' of ,thing still hap­ pens," he said.

Regarding the labor force, Ah­ mann faulted "lots of ·tokenism."

He encouraged the government to provide young people and those who might be excluded from the labor force with job training.

The Aug. 27 anniversary march is coming none too soon, according to Ahmann.

"It's certainly time to. say, 'We had better do something about these problems," he said.

He also welcomed the broader focus of the 1983 march - in­ cluding the arms Tl~ce.

"Our country is at a very dif­ ferent place from 1963," he said.

"Large numbers of people are anxious about U.S. involvement in foreign affairs," he said.

Dr. King himself united all these issues and this march in a way reflects what he later did/' Ahmann said.

Thievery "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone; it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." -- Dwight D. Eisen­ hower

tablished the credibility of the apparitions.

The first chllrch, the Church of Notre Dame, was made a ba­ silica in 1870, and the Church of the Rosary was built later. The underground Church o'f St. Pius X, consecrated on March 25, 1958, is one of the largest churches in' the world. It can hold 20,000 persons.

Most of Pope John Paul's less than 29-hour stay in France will center around regularly sched­ uled events for pilgrims at the Lourdes churches and grotto..

But as a visiting head of state he will also meet briefly with French President Francois Mit­ terand, a Socialist, shortly after his.arrival at the airport in Tar­ bes, 10 miles from Lourdes, Aug. 14. Their conversion is expected to include discussion of the So­

cialist government's plan to na­ tionalize Catholic schools.

Pope John Paul criticized the proposal during a meeting last March with the French ambas­ sador to the Holy See, saying that France's commitment to freedom requires it to respect "the freedom of families to edu­ cate their children according to tneir own convictions."

The Lourdes visit will be Pope John Paul's 19th trip outside Italy and his second visit to France since his election to the papacy in October 1978. In 1980 he visited Paris and LisieuX.

Continued from page one to use the Holy Family as in­ spiration. Joseph and Mary had problems with Jesus, just as par­ ents today have problems with their children.

"Few of us would begrudge Mary her anger when she and Joseph found the boy Jesus in the Temple, listening to the teachers and asking them ques­ tions," Bishop Griffin said.

"They didn't understand his ex­ planation of why he remained behind."

At a memorial Mass for de­ ceased Knights, the president of the Canadian Conference ·of Catholic Bishops called upon convention delegates to oppose anti-family, anti-life trends in today's society.

"These ideologies are grad­ ually permeating society, thus 'endangering human life itself through abortion and euthanasia and family life through the in­ crease in the number of divorces, laws and attitudes that are anti­ fumily,"said Archbishop Henri Legare of Alberta.

During the final session of the C'invention, the Knights called for a "broad-based educational program" about Catholic Church teachings on war, nuclear wea·· pons and the arms race.

In conjunction with the edu­ cation program, the Knights urged members and their fami- .

He!> "to pray often for world peace, especially to Our Lady of Fatima, particularly for the con­ version of Russia."

.eroded by the U.s. Supreme Court's abortion decisions; and asked the courts and Congress to reaffirm the First Amend­ ment's original meaning of "free­ dom for religion rather than freedom from religion."

The Knights commended President Reagan for his efforts to have pornography laws strict­ ly enforced and will ask him to declare December "Keep Christ in Christmas Month."

One proposed resolution would oppose an Equal Rights Amend. ment to the U.S. Constitution until provisions are added to ex­ clude any right to abortion or funding of abortion. H,owever, the Knights took no action on the resolution 'because there cur. rently is little movement toward passage of the ERA.

Child abuse Dear Editor: One of the more interesting developments to be generated by the current public concern over child abuse is the assertion by those of pro-life inclination that abortion is itself a child abusive act.

Predictably, opinion on this point is divided along pro-life versus pro-choice lines; the for­ mer maintaining that abortion is clearly child abusive, the lat­ ter rejecting this 'on the ground that the prenatal being is not a child, despite sometimes grue­ some anatomical evidence to the contrary.

Actually, the more significant value of the dispute lies in its suggesting the possibility of a widening of the parameters of abortion arid child abuse.

The prevailing definition of child abuse is that of a brutal act sometimes causing the death of an innocent child. It is gener­ ally .thought to be inflicted by the demented or depraved, not uncommonly the indigent, alco­ holic, or drug dependent. Most people, regardless of their posi­ tion on abortion, are opposed to

It. Nevertheless, thousands of children are routinely subjected to things such as eviction, fore­ closure, shutting off of utilities, exclusion from decent housing, substandard nutrition, lack of

heat, and other intrusions upon their person and families 'which,

while not technically child abuse, exhibit characteristics which urge their consideration as part of a comprehensive assessment of what child abuse really means.

Many of these things are voli­ tionally imposed; they are harm­ ful; they impact upon innocent victims.

Remarkably, these things do not evoke the sense of shock, outrage and indignation that a front-page case of child abuse does. On the contrary, they are often seen as the unfortunate result of complex economic mechanisms conveniently beyond our control. An explanation more inimical to children is that these devices function as meas­ ures helping to maintain an economic order on which we suppose our own security to be based. We are thus reluctant to oppose them. But to justify such actions against children is pa­ tently to aver that they are reasonable; and that position is impossible to reconcile with a presumed national posture against child abuse.

Strangely, the inability to grant a child primacy over econ­ omic considerations is shared by pro-life and pro-choice advo­ cates. Thus we have pro­ choicers who work to insure that the poor have the dignity of

abortion, while exerting them­ selves equally to see that th~y do not invade their towns via low income housing.

At the ~nm~ time many pro­ life people will struggle to pro­ tect the sanctity of life, but can be comparatively unmoved if a child loses his home or welfare' benefit.

Aborti.on then is indeed a form of child abuse, not because of any question of when life be­

gins, but because abortion and child abuse are but two effects of a deeper and serious disease of exclusion. Similarly child abuse is a form of abortion in that it thwarts growth and purpose.

It is unjust to castigate those who strike a child in the coer­ cion of rage and poverty when we can all approve official harm to him; and it is absurd to speak of a "wanted" child when that selection is based on the de­ struction of even one of his brothers.

It would seem that one's right to life has disturbing and chal­ lenging dimensions which neither side of this issue is quite ready to meet. .

Housework' Dear Editor: I used to think housework was a senseless, thankless, 'repetitive exercise in futility.

I have come to recognize it as yet another manifestation of order. And what is wrong with

projecting order? Didn't our Creator himself build the uni­ verse based upon order?

It seems order provides the beholder with a sense of tran­ quilty. By visualizing housework as a promotion of God's beauty perhaps the toiler promotes

peace for those welcomed into her home.

And what is wrong with pro­ moting peace? The peace of the world begins within the peace of one man's soul. The inner calm felt when man realizes things are where God meant them to be is yet another testi­ mony to God's wonder.

Granted that many chores ap­ pear menial to the 'untrained eye, but to the true connosseur' of order they are important assign­ ments from the creator to pro­ ject His image here on earth.

Peace promoters of the world, we housewives are doing our share here where the heart and soul begin at homeI Jean Quigley Rehoboth

SISTER GERTRUDE wo;ks on painti~g enlargements '(top two pictures) and at bottom checks "Beginnings" with ...-------------------~Father Donald Par~dis, MS, of LaSalette Sht:ine.

Members Federal Deposit In~urance Corporation.

A word of advice.

Right now, put down on your Christmas calendar a visit to La· Salette Shrine in Attleboro.

The shrine, long. famous for the most spectacular religious Christmas displays in New Eng: land, will outdo itself this year.

Now in the making at the shrine, amid summer heat, are y::iant reproductions of the pages of what must be one of the most beautiful books ever produced on the making of the world.

Titled "Beginnings: A Por­ trayal of the Creation," and pub· lished by Mutnomah Press, Port· land, Ore., it combines paintings depicting the seven days of crea· . tion with commentary. The paintings are by Israeli artist Heinz Seelig, the commentary

by Oregon theologian Spencer Marsh.

Seelig and Marsh met in 1978 :it the time of the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. The signing was marked by presentation of lithographs of the paintings in "Beginnings" to U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

Arrangements for use of the Seelig and Marsh's book at La· Salette were long drawn-out, said shrine officials, since the mea wanted to be sure their work would not be' commercialized.

Once agreement was reached. the next problem was to find an artist capable of enlarging See· lig's paintings from book size to 4 by 8 feet.

The officials hadn't far to seek.

They found their artist in diminutive Sister Gertrude Gau· dette, O.P., former art teacher at Bishop Stang High School, North Dartmouth, who will .shortly open a, creative arts cen· ter at Dominican Academy, Fall River.

Sister Gertrude is spending her summer at LaSalette as the shrine's artist, in residence.

Working with fast·drying bill­ board paint and mixing her own colors, she is recreating "Be· ginnings" on 4 by 8 foot boards so heavy she needs help in mov· ing them.

Once she has enlarged the seven paintings, she will letter the text of the book on other boards that will be erected to face the paintings, giving the effect of a giant opened volume.

Thus, during the shrine's tra­ ditional Thanksgivi!1g to New Year's Illuminations, visitors will be able to walk from page to page of "Beginnings."

They will share, thal)k.~ to an., artist in Israel, a writer in Ore­ gon and a sister in the Fall River diocese, the awe of the morning of the world.

Any new court looks good on the sur­ 'ace but the' asphalt underneath makes a difference on your feet, in your playing, and in how the court wears. Sherry All Weather Courts stand up to hard use and hard New England welither,

A costing .mission Dear Dr., K:enny: Six weeks 'ago we took a 14-year-old foster child home to live with us. He had been neglected and abused in several other. homes, and he was beginning to be truant from school. I guess we thought that we were doing something noble and that our love would be enough to straighten him out.

Were we in for a rude awaken­ ing! Reality has stnick. Actually, so much' of what bothers me is so petty that I am ashamed. He uses bad grammar./He does not bathe. 'lIIe shoves our younger children around. He is still tru­ an,t from school, and to make matters 'worse, he lies about it.

He does not respond to reason­ ing ,and seems to have no sense of guilt for his wrongdoing.

Was foster parenting a bad 'idea .for us? Should we return him to the welfare department?

I don't know how to feel or what to do. - Iowa.

Foster parenting is a wonder­ ful idea, a chance tO'rea,ch out to others and grow larger your­ self in the process. Caring for others is an expression of our Christian heritage. And love makes us richer, eyen when that love comes hard.

Should you take him back to the welfare department? No, not now. You have made your com­ mitment,. a good one. Now give it a fair try.

The first thing for you to do is to lower your eJcpectations!

To be' nice to nice people is easy.

To care for a troubled adoles­ cent is n~t easy. You will need to accept your foster son, faults and all. What a wonderful oppor­ tunity for your entire family to learn patience and tolerance.

Nevertheless, there are traits' in your new foster son that you will want to change. It may take longer .than you had expected.

Appeals to rationality are not likely to work. Nor are you likely to I arouse guilt, in him.

Where would he have learned to feel, guilt in a succession of troubled homes? Responsibility for self aI)d .proper behavior will best be learned, not by mandate, but by good example from other family members over a long period of time.

Instead of long lectures and l'ationai appeals, you might try doing .things together. You can look for a common task. Being eqgaged in cbmmon work has a . bonding value.

Plan some trips to new places.

Do hard homework together.

Try camping. Play sonie table games. Learn woodworking to­ gether. Teach him an athletic skill. Later you might teach him to drive. Good relationships have a way of sneaking up on those

engaged in doing something of

­ significance together.

Your new foster son has con­ tinued some of his bad habits.

That should be no surprise. Time and patience on your part will be required before they are over­ come.

In the meantime, do not mount an all-out campaign to eliminate his faults immediately, and do not focus on establish· ing a deep personal relati'onship with him wherein you can evoke guilt when he fails to conform.­ Instead, begin by including him in more and more comm,on and positive activities with your fam­ ily.

Courage! Foster parenting is a noble mission. Now you know why it is so noble. It costs.

CATHOUC ASSOCIATION OF FORES TERS High Vice Chief Ranger Catherine Har­ rington of Fall River and High Chief Ranger Bob Cahalane of Boston meet with Si.ster Marie Cordis, OP, administrator of 'Rose Hawthorne Lathrop flome, Fall River, to discuss plans for support of the home.

that he could not "approve, con· done or even support" the fast if it were to result in death. He encouraged CCNV members "to consider the purpose of your fast - the reason why you are gathered here - as a statement of the value of me. Fasting to the death or fasting to the point of seriously endangering the health of a person is exactly contrary to what you hope to communicate."

Timely

editorial

The following editorial "Got A Better Idea?" - was written by James M. Shea for The Catholic Telegraph, Cin­ cinnati archdiocesan news­ paper.

Francis himself would be pleased, no doubt, to know that a group of his followers (Conventual Franciscans from 45 nations) have invited the presidents of the United States and the Soviet Union to meet at Assisi, Italy, "as brothers working for peace and disarmament." The Eng­ dish.language invitations to Ronald Reagan and Yuri An­ dropov, dispatched last week by air mail from Assisi, sug­ gest that such a meeting could provide an admirable example for all of the people "on our small planet."

Our small planet seems to have run out of constructive measures for diminishing the threat of war, reducing the possibility of vast nuclear destruction, even establishing communication among na­ tions. Last week's invitation may be brushed aside 'as im­ practical, idealistic, naive.

That's the response Francis got from many, and he turn­ ed out to be one of the most powerful influences for good in the history of the planet.

Czech priests are released VATICAN CITY (NC) - Two Czechoslovakian priests convict­ ed of having carried out "illegal religious activity" have been freed from prison, Vatican Radio has reported.

The station did not give the date of the release of Franciscan Fathers Frantisek Pometlo and Jire Mazanec, who had been sen· tenced to six months and eight months, respectively, by a court in PIzen, Czechoslovakia, July 13.

They had been charged with publication of "unauthorized" religious writings and "illegal" membership in a religious order, Vatican Radio said.

They were among 20 Francis­ cans arrested during Holy Week in Czechoslovakia. All of the others arrested were released without trial, Vatican Radio re­ ported.

BISHOP JOHN J. SULLIVAN of Kansas City-St. Jo­ seph, Mo., talks with John Shiel (center) and Mitch Snyd~~ during Kansas City hunger fast of the Community fOr Creative Nonviolence. (NC Photo)

Fasters secure promi~e of surplus food re'ease KANSAS CIlY, Mo. (NC) ­ Fasters at Penn Valley Park sat down to a potluck dinner Aug. 2 and officially broke a fast be­ gun on July 4.

The end of the fast came a day after Secretary of Agricul­ ture John Block informed memo bers of the Community for Crea­ tive Nonviolence in Washington, that unspecified amounts of cheese, butter, corn meal and dried milk would be distributed to the needy soon.

News of Block's announce­ ment caused guarded optimism among the fasters.

"It's a cautious joy," said John Shiel. "We have to see how the promises are implemented with the deeds."

Block's announcment came after the group's fast raised pub­ lic awareness of the problem.

Members of Congress, including Speaker of the House Thomas O'Neill (D-Mass), issued state­ ments of support for the release and distribution of the food.

In a telegram Bishop John J. Sullivan of Kansas City chal· lenged President Reagan "to take a personal interest in the issue' of releasing additional sur­ plus foods to benefit the poor.

"As the bishop of an area where much of our nation's sur­ plus food is stored, I can tell you the needs of those who suf­ ft'!r from hunger in northwest Missouri are very real and very immediate," the bishop said.

With the apparent release of more food, members of the CCNV and the Kansas City com-

munity saw at least one victory in the long battle.

"They have accomplished raising the consciousness of the American people. We should thank them," said Elizabeth Nor­ ris, head of the Kansas City diocesan Catholics for Justice.

Through the month-long fast, Kansas City Catholics supported the group. Now groups like Catholic Charities and Catholics for Justice will find it easier to continue their work, said Ms. Norris.

Even though the group broke its fast, members are prepared to take action again if the gov­ ernment promises are not kept.

Most plirticipants said they were glad they had staged the fast. Through fasting, they said, they helped alleviate the pain of hunger and starvation for thousands.

"It is not our pain," said faster Lena Grothmann. "There are millions who are hungry at the end' of the month, when the money or the food stamps run out..Their hunger is not by choice."

Toward ,the end of the strike, temperatures in the 90s and low 100s began to take their toll on several fasters. One, Eddie Bloomer, lost 20 percent of his body weight. Others were grad­ ually growing weak. The con­ tinued deterioration of .their health led to pleas from the dio­ cese, doctors and public officials to stop the fast before deaths resulted.

Bishop Sullivan had cautioned

The documentation plan is so accurate that when an of­ fice employee is either out sick or on vacation, any individual working in the office can take over with little help by follow­ ing the file prepared.

The cemetery file plan is a referenced map location of all documents that are utilized in the' current cemetery files. This form is a word picture of filing arrangement of documentation, where to find it, where to file it and what cabinet or drawer it is located.

A very important form used in the filing system is pink in color.

Anniversary • • IS a warnIng

'Dishonor memory'

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The anniversary of the atomic bomb­ ing of Hiroshima, Japan, contains a warning for scientists and for world leaders who make the choices between war and peace, Vatican Radio said.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (NC) - Remaining silent about human rights violations in El Salvador would "dishonor the memory" of the people who have died there, Bishop R. McGann of Rockville. Centre said in a

pastoral letter. The bishop is­ sued his letter on El Salvador at a press conference with family members of two of the four Am­ erican women killed in El Sal­ vador Dec. 2, 1980. The bishop urged members of his diocese "to respond to the cry of the poor and oppressed of El Salva­ dor" by opposing the continued appropriation of military aid to that Central American country.

The station broadcast a

lengthy commentary Aug. 6 to mark the 38th anniversary of the atomic attack on Hiroshima which killed 120,000 people im­ mediately and left thousands of others affected by radiation.

I

The cc;>mmentary said that the anniversary presented two "prin­ cipal warnings" which "human­ ity can no longer pretend to ig­ nore." .

If a change of any item on the file plan is made, all individuals should be notified. If a change or addition is made, it is recom­ mended that it be put on the file plan in the reverse space or as the last number. This is done in order not to have to change the whole plan with new numbers.

The following are steps that should be followed when making a file plan: 1. Arrange the files which ap­ ply to your office.

2. Make a list on a plain sheet of paper of each item you wish to put on your file plan.

3. Arrange the items and as­ sign item numbers in the most workable sequence.

4. Transfer all the items onto your file plan in the proper order.

Arrange your file drawers with guide cards and labels which you will transfer from your file plan. This will simplify your looking for certain number­ ed 'files off your file plan.

Be sure you put a file code and number in the upper right corner of all documents to be filed. You will get this number off your file plan. This is done so that if you should for any reason remove correspondence from the file you or anyone else in your office will know where it belongs.

KENOSHA, Wis. (NC) - A father of 12 children, concerned about a breakdown of spiritual values in the United States, has launched an .apostolate to bring God back into homes and neigh­ borhoods. The Apostolate for Family Consecration, head­ quartered in the House of St. Joseph in Kenosha, was started

eight years ago by Jerome Coni­

ker, now its president. The apos­

tolate, involving neighborhood

study and prayer groups, is a~ tive in 27 U.S. dioceses.

Christian matur~ty

i "How does one detect <!:hrist's

By Cecilia Belanger

Are we too immature as a nation? As Christians? We are not without Light, but how well are we using that Light?

Young Christians with a cause seem to be moving across geog­ raphical frontiers with their messages. ,They 'are truly pil­ grim people, signs of the first­ fruits of what they consider a new humanity, breaking through barriers of nation, class, cufture and race.

Those who make the effort to

pioneer in unfamiliar territory

are soon confronted with great difficulties. Whenever we try to be in the presence of Christ we find that there is a price to pay.

IDdividuals contribute to the nation's ills. Each person should look at himself or herself and ask "In what way have I per­ sonally contributea to the prob­ lems ,of my country?" And if a person is honest and really cares about others, he or she will turn over a new leaf.

I feel that when we abdicate our own responsibilities and yield too much power to an ever­ increasing bureaucracy, we are taking a dangerous turn. We are no longer paying much attention to the, treasures of the gospel.

We are going out into a far country where Christ is not lead­ ing us.

children astray' and tell us there is no such thing as sin, being wrong. They tell us that being good is irrelevant.

Recordecll by Irene Cara, Written by Keith Forsey, Irene Cara and Giorgio Moroder, © 1983 by Famous Music Corp. and GMPC. DO YOU HAVE a dream that adds direction and meaning to your life? Youths often answer: "Yes, I'm dreaming of what I realIy want to be s,nd how my life will change because of this."

The power of such dreams is the context for Irene Cara's

single, "Flashdance," which is the theme for the acclaimed movie by the same name.

Though :the movie concerns only one person's dream of be~ ing a professional dancer" the song exparids the thought to in­ clude whatever people are

dreaming ,about today.

The song' mentions that fear can keep people from attaining their dreams. "First when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream that your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind'!; Sometimes youths are afnrld that others wiH laugh if they' share such dreams. Other times it is their own fear of failur,e that keeps them from acting.

Whatever the cause people need to move beyond fears in order to realize their dreams.

An important step in the pro­ cess is recognizing the differ­ ence between dreams and fan­ tasies. Dreams are truly pos~i~ ble while fantasy involves de­ sires or wishes not based qn reality.

For example, a youth who dreams of becoming an NBA basketbalI star probably is en­ gaging in fantasy if his height peaks at under six feet. In this case, he would be wise to chan­ nel athletic talents into another sport or be willing to accept the diminished role that 'lack of height is likely to cause.

,Dreams built on real poten­

tials can help individuals to

change their lives and give them

the energy to go after a particu­

lar goal. But even with a clear

idea of what one realisticalIy can become, a great deal of hard work is still required.

For instance, some youths de­ cide to improve their physical self-image by -losing weight and toning up. This involves sacri­ fice and hard work. However the dream of a renewed physical self can keep them going as they run these extra miles and turn down t~mpting calories.

I believe acting on dreams is very important for a satisfying life. Therefore I would like to invite my readers to share their insights on the power of dreams.

What heiped you to fulfill your own personal dreams? What have you learned along the way that might help others?

2nd birthday

The Eternal Word Television Network, providing spiritual growth programming daily from 8 p.m. to midnight to homes across the nation, will mark its second birthday Monday, the feast of the Assumption.

Founded by Mother M. An­ gelica of the Poor Clares of Per­ petual Adoration of Birmingham, Ala., EWTN is the world's first satellite-delivered Catholic net­ work.

Aimed at an ecumenical audi­ ence, it seeks to provide "warm and personal" programming as . opposed to what Mother Angeli­ ca describes as the "cold and raw and impersonal" offerings of commercial television.

She is heard on the network frequently and other material includes family films, cooking programs and spiritual discus­ sions by religious leaders.

"If you do not yet have EWTN, call your cable operator," advises a leaflet announcing the network's birthday celebration.

EWTN currently is affiliated with 90 cable systems reachirig over 1,400,000 subscribers.

Hebrew Catholics An American branch of the Association of Hebrew Catholics, founded in Israel. by Father Elias Fried~an, OCD, is see~ing mem­ bershlp among American Cath· oIics with jewish roots.

The association seeks to com­ bat alienation of Jewish con­ verts from their historical heri­ tage by working towards recog­ nition by the Holy See of a He­ brew Catholic Rite. Such a pro­ posal has been approved by the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem.

Further information is available from Kathryn Norman, PO Box 335, Ship Bottom, NJ 08008.
