Schools to Receive Easter Collection On April 3, 1969, Bishop Connolly announced the inaugura-. tion of a new plan for aid to Catholic schools in the Diocese by distributing monies from the Easter Collection to financiall,Ypinched parishes and thus aid in the continued operation of parochial elementary schools.

Following the recommendation of Rev. Patrick J. O'Neill, Ed. D., Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, the Chanc~ry Office is currently distributing these funds.

A sum of fifty dollars-the 1969-70 tuition rate--:-is being allocated for each needy child.

The total being alloted this year is $72,850 while last year's amount was $62,000.

Although Pope Paul did not identify the papers he had in mind, the Vatican City daily quoted one Italian paper as blaming tile wave of nakedness in the wotld on the American theater.

As is his custom, the Pope celebrated Mass .in the parish church in the village of Castelgandolfo on the feast of the Assumption. That day, at the lloon blessing in the courtyard. of his Summer residence, he extolled the Blessed Mother as that "ra· diant figure who brightens the dark horizon of our life on earth."

By the next day, however, his own thoughts had darkened. The Pope said he was still thinking of the joys of the bodily As-

sumplion of MaFy, but lamented that modern man, "as an animal is degrading himself beyond any restrictions. " He then added: "Why do you marvel if pleasure, egoism, delinquency' and drugs spread like social epidemics, and render life so base and so sad?"

Observing that the soul of man must attain dominion over the body, Pope Paul said that "this reflection makes us suffer as well as hope."

As for hope, he offered the model and example of Mary herself. The suffering, he added, stems from the attempt today to exalt the body "so much that we are coming to the point in these days, (where we have) naturalistic and obscene displays, the exaltation of nudism, erotiTurn to Page Six

CAMDEN (NC) - The truth _' about retarded <;hildren is that anyone can have one. .

This may be small comfort to a mother who has _,just given birth to a mentally handicapped child, but it is some comfort. It has helped remove the stigma from retardation, the stigma that in the past shunted these children' to dark rooms where many of them were denied human contact.

In the Camden suburb of Westville Grove there is something else to bring some small comfort: the Archbishop Damiano school.'

Run by Father Dainien O'Shea with the Brothers of St. John of God and a staffaf teenage voluilteers, the s~hool's program is unique. .

It takes infant children into its'Summer program as early as two weeks old and teaches them until they reach the age of .' three-and-a-qalf.

The school, which is maintained by an annual charity campaign and the fund-raising effort of the par~nts, brings geneticists, psychologists, social workers and other experts in the field of retardation to talk to the parents so they have a better, understanding of the child and the problem.

Father Damien, explaining' the school's pre-school-age program, commented: "These children are ~Iow learners in varying degrees. One cannot start too early in stimulating them educationally, socially, and maturationally."

Volunteer Help .The school 'also helps the parents feel, that they are not alone with their problem, that there' are parents with similar or greater problems, that many professional people are prepared to help them, and that much can be done to assist their children.

"We. emphasize that their children are more like than unlike normal children," Father Damien

India Nuns Start Export Tfltide

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope' Paul VI has paid' tribute to Japan's firm dedication to peace "ever since the end of the tragic Pacific war."

The, Pope's good wishes for Japan were read by Cardinal Paolo Marella, at EXPO 70 at Osaka on the occasion of the day dedicated to the Holy See which has one of the pavilions at the fair.

The letter to Cardinal Marella, who was sent to the fair as the Pope's special envoy, read in English: "Your visit as our special representative to the World Exposition at Osaka offers us the welcome occasion to express our warm good -wishes, to the beloved people of Japan. \'The Japanese nation presents to the world the admirable spectacle of a people preserving its traditional heritage as well as looking for means of ever greater advance in all sectors. Surely this would not be possible with~ out the atmosphere of freedom prevailing in the country.

"At the same time, Japan has ever since the end of the tragic Pacific war remained firmly dedicated'to the principle of peacefulness in international relations.

COCHIN (NC)-A group of sari-clad young Sisters here has started a promising export trade in products made from local fibres that were once discarded as waste, The trade has so far brought nearly $7,000 to Vimalalayam, the sister$' convent factory here, and $6,750 in valuable foreign exchange to the Indian government. Export orders for an equal amount' are now being pro路cessed.

Vimalalayam is the local house for the Daughters of the Heart of Mary, a worldwide congregation introduced to Kerala in 1961. Until that time, this little state on the southwestern coast of India was putting to use only one fibre coiro Banana fibre was used in ancient times in India, but the industry has been extinct for years. The Sisters not only revived the banana fibre industry, but set to work on several other路 fibres that were locally available.

"The spirit of freedom and peace, so essential to all authentice Christianity, together with the proverbial industriousness of the Japanese people, may explain to a great extent the economic prosperity of the country and its technological progress, of which the present World Exposition presents such overwhelming evidence.

"We heartily wish that the well-being of this' nation may continue and increase and that the moral principles of its peoples may be strengthened more in their hearts.

"We pray for them to have in abundance DivIne enlightenment, that the national wealth be shared in the name of social justice, by as many of the people as possible, and that the great nation may wisely and generously use its skill and resources to assist in the name of international justice many less fortunate countries in the world.

Positive Values "If w~at you're suggesting is that we should have been doing what we're now doing 10 years ago, I would have to agree. In fact, it should have been done 20 or 30 years ago," he said.

"We've just gone through a decade of public self-study in which we've wrung our hands and beat our brows," he added.

"I think it's n'ow time that we stop worrying and concentrate all our efforts on improvement and on stressing the positive values of Catholic education," "If it was just a money problem, our solution would be simple: shut down the schools. In fact, we've had to fight some pastors wlJ,o've wanted to do just that, even though the parishioners felt otherwise.

Minnesota Court Upholds State's Fair Bus Law ST. PAUL (NC)-The Minnesota Supreme Court has unanimously upheld the constitutiunality of the state's 1969 fair bus law.

The courl's opinion, however, included stl'Ongly-worded indications that further state aid to non public education would require a constitutional amendment.

In holding the law valid, the high court's opinion, written by Associate Justice James Otis, ~aid, "We do so with the conviction that this legislation brings us to the brink of unconstitutionality. " The busing law, which became mandatory, Aug. J!), requires schoOl districts that receive state busing aid to provide transportation to non public school students, St. Paul and Minneapoli~~ are among several school districts that do not receive state transportation aid and, as a result are not affected by the court's decision..

The 20-page opinion said if the slate further supports parochial schools "the danger of a. breach of the impregnable wall between church and state is sufficiently real to suggest the necessity of a constitutional amendment."

Troublesome Issue While not wanting to "prejudge" the constitutionality of any olher form of aid, the court said the bus law brings the state to the ·.'ve~ge .of.unconstitutional· ity." .

The high' court tested Minne· sita's bus law against both the federal and state constitutions.

The "most troublesome issue" was to determine if the law violated the church-state section of the Minnesota constitution.

The problem for the high court centered around whether the law directly supported religion or whether religious institutions were only incidentially benefited by !I law relating to the public welfare. The court's opinion relied heavily on a landmark decision in the 1947 Everson case.

In that suit the U.S. Supreme Court found that any state authorizing public funds for sectarian busing did not violate the first amendment.

Children, Parents Benefit Reviewing cases from appelate courts in other states as well as several U.S. Supreme Court cases, Minnesota's opinion said, "the thrust of these decisions is that whatever support is given to sectarian schools is incidental and that the children and their parents are the real beneficiaries of public funds."

School Faces Loss of Accreditation Report

Critici~es

MILWAUKEE (NC) - Marquette University is on the verge of losing accreditation for its School of journalism. , .The blow to the journalism school's prestige has come at the hands of a three-member investigating team from the American Council on Education in Journalism. ' Marquette has the third oldest college journalism course in the country, preceded only by programs at the Universities of Missouri and Wisconsin. Marquette's course was tegun in 1915.

The investigating team made its report following a visit to the university several months ago.

The council reached its decision after making evaluations about the journalism school's physical facilities, quality of instruction, and salaries among other factors. Serious doubts reportedly were raised by the team in all areas.

Plan Appenl Schools meeting council standards are recommended by the team for accreditation. Team visits take place every five or six years and include talks with faculty members, students and administrators.

Marquette officials say they will appeal -the ruling when the council meets again in Chicago during October.

Clifford L. Helbert, dean of the college said, however, "We

are not satisfied with the report.

We believe we have grounds for an appeal, and we are going to appeal."

A former dean; Jeremiah L. O'Sullivan, would not comment on the report because he said he wasn't familiar 'with it.

"But if the school isn't in shape to be accredited, it's something to be concerned about," he said. "The physical facilities are the main problem I know about. Until the school has adequate financial support and better facilities, it can't operate efficiently." .

The council president, Frank Ahlgren, indicated that the school's chances for"a successful appeal are rather dim.

Successful Graduates He pointed out that in his seven years as president of the group no appeal has succeeded in being reversed and findings reevaluated. "It is unlikely," he said, "that the findings of the team will be changed."

Charitable Agencies Play the Horses SYDNEY (NC)-Two charitable agencies here are playing the horses this Summer-and they can't lose. But they will need a tipster's luck to win.

Australians try almost anything for charity-walkathons, 1;wimathons, bingo, raffles, even wine-tasting competitions-and now the local Daily Telegraph has worked up a scheme with a local bookmaker· to help the Loreto Home for the Elderly Sick and a non-denominational charity' organization called the Smith ,Family.

appeal, may ask for -another evaluation after 18 months.

According to Ahlgren, loss of accreditation usually means that a university's journalism school will face greater difficulty in at· tracting high quality students, loss of some. scholarships, and may cause problems for an alumnus seeking job or admittance to a graduate school.

Many of Marquette's journalism graduates may be found employed on prelitigious daily newspapers in Chicago, Milwaukee, Washington, on the Wall Street Journal, among others.

The council investigating team was led by Frank Senger, journalism chairman at Michigan State University, along with Charles E. Barnum, managing editor of the Quincy, Ill., Herald-' Whig, and William A. Hall, Ohio State University journalism school director.

CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) The modern, Catholic teacher must give' his students a knowledge superior to that given' in previous decades, Pope Paul VI has told' the convention of the World Union of Catholic Teachers in Montreal.

In a message sent by. the Papal Secretary of State, Cardinal Jean Villot" the Pope said this must be done despite a sudden change in the language of yest~rday which is unacceptable tu today's youlh.

"The entire art of the teacher consists in ardently adapting his melhods whenever it is necessary to assure the faithful transmission of what is being taught," the Pope said, In still another warning, Pope Paul urged Catholic teachers to reconcile for the young the paradoxes of today. He listed these as authority and liberty, openness opposed to faithfulness, unity versus pluralism and autonomy and adaptation.

He added that if these demands were placed on teachers in general, it was more important for the Catholic teacher to be aware of them and to cope successfully with them.

Pope Paul reminded the dele.gates to the congress that mere k!,!owledge can never enlighten man in' his esssential problem areas, "his origin, his destiny, his llature, his' rights and his . obligations."

The .Pope said that it was "here that there was apparent in all its grandness the magnificent and irreplaceable role of the teacher~"

chan, and pansexualism." (Pansexualism is the 'belief that all pleasure, desire and interest are derived from the sexual instinct.)

Following the speech, the Italian press was quick to speculate that, by displays of naturalism, the Pope meant the International Naturist Congress at Orpington, England attended by 1,700 per,sons.

The Italian press carried a picture of an Anglican priest (clothed) conducting a religious service for nude worshipers.

The Vatican City daily, in its article, specifically blasted the meeting at Orpington for 'its contention that collegial' life without the benefit of clothing is, a proper way of existence' or even the only and best way' to ' enjoy the sunshine.

L'Osserva~ore Romano, takjn~ a !fIore scatter-gun approach to the problem than did the Pope,. listed as examples of a declin- " ing morality international por-" nographic exhibitions and the, gath~ring of "thousands and thousands of young people in sexual freedom and complete nakedness."

The article attributed ·this wave of sexual freedom not only to the perennial antiChristian sentiment to be found in the world, but also to the "rebellion and contestation which find their nourishment in every expression of the "negative' and avail themselves of any means to overthrow the existing'order."

L'Osservatore Romano qU9ted the independerit "La Stampa" of ·Turiri' as 'blaihfntf ·the •A:meriean 'theater.' for· ·tli,e'" prevale'nc'e 'of nakedness\ toda'y."

Holy Fatherls Journeys Abro~d· VATICAN CITY (NC)-Getting Pope Paul to the church on time in Manila and Sydney next November is already being planned by a small task force in the Vatican.

In fact, every last di::tail of the 20,OOO-mile jaunt - Pope Paul's ninth trip out of Italy since 1964-will be agreed on before he leaves the Vatican and will be followed almost down to the minute he arrives back in his top-floor apartment overlooking St. Peter's Square.

To find out how a papal trip is planned, NC News talked with Bishop Paul Marcinkus, whose main job is at the Vatican bank but whose sideline specialty is coordinating with host countries every ,move the Pope makes and working ,with the airlines involved. He makes several advance trips himself before the actual papal vi,sit.

"Pope Paul is a simple, ordinary priest who has the responsibility of the papacy," the bishop said from behind a glowing pipe and a pair of hornrimmed glasses.

"I think it was before his trip to Bogota that he said the mission of a Pope is no longer confined to the Vatican, but now , he should move out to the world in this age of the jet."

Bishop Marcinkus, a 48-yearold native of Cicero, Ill., said that every trip Pope Paul ,has made has been for a religious reason, one that will demonstrate he is first a priest and a bishop.

Accordingly, the Pope will not .make a trip, merely as a tourist, or just because. he has not been somewhere, 'or least of all simply as a head of state, but to emphasize that he is a religious man with a mission.

presence of the Church universally."

Other trips and their motives were: to Geneva to speak for the small' nations and for. the working man in today's society; to the United Nations to encourage creation of a peaceful world order; to Turkey to advance' ecumenism among Christians by visiting the Orthodox' patriarch there.

The Pope has also visited Fatima, Portugal, 'and both South America (Bogota, Colombia) arid Africa (Kampala, Uganda).

j

Like Other' Passengers Behind the papal trip to the Philippines and Australia is the idea of demonstrating Pope . Paul's desire to work hand in hand with bishops. He will taik with tjle bishops of 13 nations at a Pan-Asian episcopal meeting in Manila and with the bishops of four other nations. at a Sydney meeting.

Selection of an airline is usually simple: the Pope flies the most convenient airline. This has' often been the national airline of the country being visited, such as on his trips to Colombia, Portugal, Switzerland and Africa..

Going to the United Nation'>, he left on Alitalia and came back on Trans World (TWA).

For the trip in November, it Is almost certain he will stay, with one line to avoid the inconvenience of changing planes, "The Pope i:> a paying passenger just like anyone else," Bish- .

O!l Marcinkus explained. "I have most of·the originial tickets 'an(l copies of the others to show that the passenger, Pope Paul VI, is charged the same fare, including' taxes, as anyone else."

Priest Stresses Catholic-Ang IDca In Unity Efforts CHICAGO NC) - If people complain that the ecumenical movement is "running out of steam," it's most likely because they have never properly understood the concept of ecumenism.

That was part of the message made here by Father William Purdy during a three~hbur meeting with 14 Episcopal and Roman Catholic clergymen at Holy Name Cathedral.

In his talk, he dealt with several problems facing ecumenism.

Father Purdy is the assistant for Anglican and Methodist relations in the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.

He is in the United States this Summer visiting several dioceses to meet with Episcopalian and Cathoiic clergymen involved in the ecumenical effort.

'Down to Business' According to' Father Purdy, the ecumenical movement is "getting over its first flush, the honeymoon stage, and is now getting down to business."

He said that in many instances he has seen only superficial "sporadic effort" being made at works of ecumenism.

"The impression has been created in some circles," he' explained, ,jthat you can have a good old one week's spill of ecumenical activity and forget the other 51 weeks in the year."

He said that "a conscious effort must take place at every level of the two communities" if Catholic and Anglican faiths are to ever "grow together."

Pre-requisite to "growing together,'" according': to Father Purdy, is the need for members of both faiths to experience a "spiritual renewal" and to go through ','a merciless self search." .

Areas of Agreement By doing so, he added, members of both Christian communities will help derive "a' deeper understanding of themselves, of others, and of what manner we· can celebrate in common witness."

In his current post for three years Father Purdy participated in ecumenical discussions conducted during 1967 by a joint Vatican commission.

He said the meetings' were designed to explore areas of common communication, to make recommendations about what practically can be done to carry forth mutual cooperation, and to' pin-point areas of agreement and disagreement. . He also participated in a joint meeting of an international ecumenical commission in Windsor, England last year that dealt with such sensitive areas as church authority, ministry, and the eucharist.

Guild Appoints New Executive Director NEWTON (NC) - Frederick Picard, 42, a veteran U.S. diplomat who helped establish relief programs for victims of the Nigerian Civil War., has taken on new duties as executive director of the Catholic Guild for All the Blind here.

Picard succeeds Father Thomas J. Carroll, who· became the guild's director of professional policy and development in March.

See Catholic Hospitals More Efficient 'Mergers, Closings Reduce Number WASHINGTON (NC) - Some 5.5 million patients of all races and creeds, more than half of them non-Catholics, were admitted to the. nation's 796 Catholic hospitals last year, according to 1970 figures released here; The Catholic Hospital Association, whose members account for almost one out of every three beds available in the nation's hospitals, said the 5.5 million was an increase of more than 100 thousand admissions over the previous year.

One important trend is more· beds in slightly fewer but more efficient hospitals, said the CHA. The 1970 report shows that mergers and closings during the year reduced the number.of Catholic hospitals across the nation by 19.

According to the statistics, the number of beds available increased' by 1;100 to 159,600. The number of patient-days in CHA hospitals also rose, climbing 1.3 million to a new record. of 47.6 million days.

The mergers and closings occurred in smaller communities and generally involved facilities of 50 beds and under, according to Msgr. Harrold A. Murray, director of Health Affairs for the Unit~d States Catholic Conference.

Prelates Discuss Mixed Marriage LONDON (NC) - New regulations regarding mixed marriages and Baptism in England and Wales have been discussed by the bishops' National Ecumenical Commission.

Its suggestions have now been passed on to individual bishops concerning application in this country of the norms of Pope Paul's ,recent decree on mixed marriages. The bishops will, as required, decide on'· this in September after considering the report of a special subcommittee of four bishop-members.

smaller hospitals merge where possible, or close, if they duplicate services offered by nearby larger facilities," he said.

"Unlike taxpayer-financed municipal and government facilities, Catholic hospitals are maintained through volunteer funds con~ tributed by individuals and reli-. gious groups, in addition to pay- .. ments for professional services," he. said. "We ,must operate efficiently to keep our doors open."

The conference is the nationallevel organization through which the country's 160 Catholic dioceses coordinate their health, education and· social service activities. .

The 796 catholic hospitals rep~ resent a total investment of approximately $5 billion for land, buildings, and equipment. The CHA .report says 250 hospitals are located in communities where no other facilities exist.

Total employment is 344,000, including 11,000 nuns.

The CHA says the average number of beds per hospital increased from 190 to 200 last year, and that figure is expected to co'ntinue to rise each year.

The largest Catholic hospital at:. present is St.. Mary's in Rochester, Minn., which has a bed capacity of 930. However, current building programs call for the expansion to I, I00 bed capacity of Santa Rosa Medical Center, ~an Antonio, Tex., and St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pa. Pittsburgh also is the site of the nation's oldest Catholic facility in continuous service, Mercy Hospital, which was founded in 1847.

Police arrested Father Harold Bury after he asked them to stop shoving during a police effort to clear protesters from the sidewalk in front of city hall.

The priest was released on $600 bail. Assistant city attorney Edward Vavreck asked that the bail be set high because Father Bury had been a leader of the demonstration.

Another protester, Paula Kelly, 22, was arrest.ed after she damaged a city-owned car with a stick and shouted obscenities at police.

More than 300 people took part in the protest. Police were called to the scene after protesters lowered the American flag and raised a North Vietnamese flag in its place. A man who claimed to be an ex-paratrooper succeeded in lowering the North Vietnamese banner.

Cites Need of Dis'cussing' Controversial Subjects

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Aug. 20, 1970

Publication Makes Appearance DENVER (NC)-Priests U.S.A., a four-page monthly supplement. to the weekly National Register, made its first appearance h'ere under the auspices of the National Federation of Priests' Councils and u'nde}'l some confusion as well.

The federation planned the paper as a means of linking its 130 member councils across the nation. Editor of the paper is Msgr. Alexantler O. Sigur of La-

There is a rumor abroad that. Cardinal Suenens .came within hair's breadth of being forced to resign as Archbishop of Malines in Belgium. One' can only rejoice that such an event did not occur.

pressing a very mild and gentle dissent, it would easily have been a disaster of staggering consequences.

For, while he receives apparently little support from his fellow cardinals and only silent support from most of the bishops of the world, there cannot be much doubt to anyone who is in touch with opinions among the Catholic laity and clergy that Cardinal Suenens represents a vast number of the faithful.

If he were to be suppressed then one would be forced to regretfully conclude that colle'giality is largely meaningless.

Unusual Situation I suspect that historians of the future will' spend' many .long hours puzzling over why the two most controversial subjects facing the Church in the waite of the Vatican Council were not the subject of collegial decisionmaking. If collegiality means anything at all, it means that it is practiced on controv~rsial issues. If it is only to be practiced when the subject matter is not controversial, then it would be simply an empty and formalistic exercise.

So the historians will wonder why the Pope chose to tr.y (obviously with no success) to shut off discussion on these two questions which are on everyone's lips. One must look long and hard in the history of the papacy to find a similar situation: when in the past has a Pope adamantly refused even to discuss with his brother bishops a matter which no one claims to be part of divine revelation?

I suspect that some of the historians in the future will want to conclude that the Pope simply did not trust his brother bishops to be able to competently and intelligently discuss the issue.

It is hard to think of another explanation.

Extraordinary Attitude Historians of the future may also decide that the Pope is correct: that, indeed, his brothers in the hierarchy lack the intelligence, the wisdom, the good will, the sincerity, the humility to address themselves to the questions of celibacy and birth control.

But if such a judgment turns out to be 'im accurate one, it will be a sad commentary on the state of the Church in the second half of the twentieth century, I have .bee.n told recently

change on celibacy."

If such an attitude is the official Curial position, then it is an extraordinary on'e, both because it completely misreads the attitilde of the world's clergy (it is most unlikely that 75 per cent of the 'priests of the world will leave); and:also because' it· completely ·misunaerstands the issue and completely misunders~ands how the clergy and the laity re-. spond to the unilateral and closeminded exercise of authority they see going on in the Church at the present time.

As I have said before, what worries me most is the harm done to the Papacy. . Papacy Necessary For Christianity needs the Papacy. If we did not have one, we would probably have to invent it It is .an absolutely indispensable institution not merely for the Catholic Church, but for all Christian churches. When it loses its ability to obtain the respect and the consent of substantial segments of the Catholic population, this is a tragedy for the whole of Christianity.

It is not necessary that there be change on either of the two issues, but it is necessary,· absolutely necessary, that there be discussion; for ours is a world that simply cannot credit a refusal to discuss. I cannot understand why such a moderate request for discussion as that made by Leo Suenens should be responded to as though it were an act of sacrilege, not to say blasphemy. In truth, the Archbishop of Malines-Brussels is one of the best friends that the contemporary Papacy has.

There does seem to be no other way for the Papacy to reestablish its credibility than to engage in discussion, a discussion in which it operates from a position of hope and confidence and not from a position of insecurity and anxiety.

Dominicans Over 'Worst of Crisis' LONDON (NC) - The English Dominicans, who in the past few restless years have been going through perhaps their severest test since they were wiped out temporarily during the Reformation, are now "over the worst of it," thinks their provincial, Father Ian Hislop, O.P. He said the wave of unrest after Vatcan Council II has hit them particularly hard because of their special involvement with and exposure to the pressures of an increasingly complex society.

"My feeling is that we are now over the worst of it," said the tall Scottish convert who has been Dominican provincial here for the past four' years. "Like everybody else in the Church we are in a: moment of transition adjusting to a new world."

Confusion about the paper stems from the recent sale of the National Register to Twin Circle Publishing, publishers of the conservative Catholic: weekly Twin Circle. Whether this will affect the 'relationship. between the Register and Priests U.S.A. is still an open question.

According to Father Francis J. Bonnike of Chicago, federation president, the priests' group is adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards the new Register.

Matters of Consequence Have you ever read The Little Prince? Written both for children and for the young at heart, it is an enchanting fable about a little. prince who leaves his oWn tiny planet in search of the secret of what is really important in life.

But all throughout his journey the Little Prince is confronted with people who have no time for his questions. They are too busy with "matters of consequence !" They are so busy thinking about how to live, that they forget to live. To the Little Prince these' people are missing the very basis of life itself: the beauty found in flowers, the ocean, the stars, and ' . in each other.

Str'ess Search For Peace CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Aims shared by the Holy See and Great Britain for peace and equality for mankind were heavily stressed as the new British minister to the Holy See presented his letters of accreditation to Pope Paul VI at his Summer residence here.

Amid the pomp and panoply demanded by protocol for the occasion, the new minister, Desmond John 'Chetwode Crawley, told Pope Paul that Great Brite ain had followed "with interest and sympathy" papal concern for all mankind.

Speaking of Pope Paul's personal efforts for a better world, Crawley singled out the Second Vatican Council, the papal trips outside Italy, the pleadings for peace. and the emphasis on helping the less fortunate.

For its part, Crawley said the British government is "pledged to uphold the rule of law and to work for * * '~peace, the promotion of prosperity, the settle111ent of disputes by conciliation and agreement and the encouragement of trade and peaceful exchanges between nations."

In his address of welcome, Pope Paul expressed his own "special regard" . for Queen Elizabeth and said that the aims of his pontificate "are really the goals of all right Christian living."

. The insights of the Little Prince we busy ourselves with "matters of time for what is truly important in grams, our cars, our newspapers, our We tend. to judge how good we are

are profound. How often do consequence," leaving little life. We have our TV progames, our books, our jobs. by ·how busy we are.

But is there time in our lives for prayer? Is there time for. thinking about others, about our neighbors, about people we have never met, about people we wlll ~ever meet?

In the end, we won't be judgd by our cars or newspapers or jobs. We will be asked only one question: "What did you do for the least qf my brethren?" THAT is a matter of consequence! .

Think about this for a while: thousands and thousanclls of people are starving every day. They hunger for food, yes.

But they hunger for much more than that-for meaning and purpose to their lives. They long for personal security, justice, and a belief in Something outsIde of themselves.

The missionary tries to fill both these voids: physical and spiritual. He gives man bread and the sacred host; he teaches the alphabet and the doctrine of Christ; he teaches the value of work and the value of prayer.

This is why he asks for support. The missionary depends on your prayers-he has to know that we're behind him, rooting for him, as it were. And he also depends on your sacrifices. Without money, the missionary cannot help to build a better world.

So take some time from your busy day to think and act on what you have just read. Send a gift large or small, to The Society for the Prepagation of the Faith as a sign of your concern for these grave "matters of consequel1ce."

On two different occasions. irt the past two weeks iwe drove from Fall River to Long'Island, about 20 miles from New, York City. 'For most of the distance we drove alpng the Connecticut Turnpike past many of '. the large cities along the s,tate's coastline. It ; was nota pretty sight. Every write a book stating 101 reasons , town we passed was covered why Summer camp's should be with smog. '.New Haven is 10 abolished),

..

times worse· than Bo'ston; Providence is bad; Stamf()I:d Conn. is the worst city we saw. Bridgeport. is .covered with a particle-, filled mist, and most of the -little '. towns have now reaped the benefits of' city-based industry.' . , Fairly Clean Air I suppose people are sick and tired of hearing this' by now tiresome story, but this is. an issue we had better not get tired of or we will ensure our children of terribly unwholesome places in which to live.

Fall River faces few of .these problems at the present time.

We do have some smoke stacks and we do' have some .degree of smog, but the overwhelming combination of industry. and congested traffic. has .not taken its toll. . This is the same for most of Southeastern Massachusetts, an area that was deserted by industry early in the 1900's: It is a paradox that we who were considered poor in wealth are now able to breathe fairly clean air while. those towns and 'cities which were fortu~ate enough to bring industry to their' shores are now 'suffering, -far more than economic malaise.

Now we must prepare to guard against the entry of undesirable industries which are unwanted in other locations but which will be willing to offer' huge tax reductions, jobs, etc., in retl,lrn for clean and livable air.

Hurt Cry

Back to bed stumbles tired parent, taking time. out only to stub toe on sharp edge of linen, trunk at the foot of the bed.

"Oh-ow-ow" is the printable part of the retort that this sleepy accident brought out. The. rest fades into oblivion as head once again manages to come in :contact with pillow..

I "Mee-ow Mee-ow." com~s a strong, hurt cry from the ICuPboard. One of Snowbil1l's kittens has fallen off the shelf arid is shrieking in fear and confusion~ Mother to the rescue [only mother of the house not mother of kitten. Again sleep is brbken up. ' The third and final intrusion into this night of quiet repose is Jason. Who glides silentlyi into our bed, ~muggles in the middle and manages to deposit half of his body on Joe and the bther .half on me. Needle~s to say. when morning.<rfinally does arrive blurry-eyed parents ~arise from what can only be described in the Victorian prose as bed of pain." ., , I still find it hard to believe that there are actually people who can't .fall asleep when: they have the chance-a few nights at our house would do wortders for them. .In fact, they \yould probably end up even enjoying a night of slumber on a.

I read with quiet enVy the ads promoting sleep-inducing devices. Can ther,e actually be people in this world who can't sleep when they get the chance?

I'm sure that none of these people have small <;hildren (or animals) 'who spend their time' prowling the house just, when their parents' heads' hit 'the pillo\v.

Let's take last evening as an example. Melissa is covered from head to toe (literally, not' figuratively) with poison oak that she acquired "free of charge" at that great American institution·Summer.

No sooner do said paren(s put' their head on the pil,low and fall into a semi-deep slumber than the night's activi~ ties begin.'

First it's Melissa who is one big itch an,d can't sleep so one of us has to get up and bathe her with the latest anti:itch medicin~ imd' then commiserate with her until she finally dozes off.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The 'National Conference of Catholic Bishops has told the United States Congress that it opposes family-planning or populationcontrol bills on the grounds they overlook an inoividual's dignity and put the cart before the horse_ when it comes to assisting the nation's needy. ; Without a long' overdue family . policy for this country, "family planning ,and birth control progra!11s are a limited and negative approach to family life," said Father James'T, McHugh, testifying in behalf, of the bishops before' the House Committee on Interstate Commerce, The priest is director of the family life division of the United States Catholic Conference.

Programs under consideration by the committee, Father McHugh said, are "very often based on pragamatic decisions that overlook the dignity of the individual and that are questionable as to intent and expected results.

the people, but is actually determining those attitudes," Some agencies, he said, hold the particular ideological conviction that limited family size is good for all families 'and that people should have small families or even restrict its size to two children.

"Such an approach is unacceptable because it is a negative and limited approach to the needs of families, and because it places the prestige of government in support of one ideological position."

Henlth Needs Ignored So, too with research funding, he said, explaining that "If research . monies are ,allocated merely to 'improve contraceptive technology, the health needs of mothers and children are ignored, and such research and the service it promotes falls far short of the needs for improved pre-natal delivery, post-natal and and .pediatric care" " ,-,,, Father McHugh cited "perhaps Op~,n Fund Private Agencies ' th,e most significant weakness" ROCKFORD' (NC)-Almost all Silence of population bills on of various population bills as . parish grade schools have opted the topic of abortion "makes it their underlying. assumption that to stay open next year, and even more .dangerous and. unac- America's population must be Rockford Bishop Arthur O'Neill ceptable," he said. curbed to prevent an ecological ·has approved their decision after catastrophe.

Says Family Size Parents Decision " ,~0T.~t;:. PA,~.F ~9;;;;Moah ,o,f family planning programs should be geared 'to the family size desired by parents, rather' than a government-set figure, according to a University of Notre Dame study recently presented to the U.S. Agency for International Development.

A two-year study of reproduc- . tive behavior in the Phillippines concluded that the current underlying philosophy of family planning is voluntarism. "To stress the desirability of a two'or-three child family in an area where such a unit is both unknown and not wanted is to court failure," wrote two researchers in their 130-page re;lort.

The. two-Drs. William T. Liu and Arthur J. Rubel-professors here, made eight major recomJ;l1endations to ,assist officials in planning more effective family health programs with reference to their findings.

These included improving and updating statistics so population trends can be evaluated; expanding medical school curricula to encompass sex education and family planning. and a government sponsored' family planning program cooperating with local health units, medical schools and private hospitals.

Sees Struggle for Justice in Ireland . .,.. Tension . ..

"

CINCINNATI (N-C)-Northern Ireland's troubles stem from a political struggle for equality and justice and are in no sense a religious war, according to an Irishman involved deeply in the conflict.

John Hume, 32-year-old former college teacher who represents Londonderry's Bogside district in Northern Ireland's Parliament, said in an interview here that his country's tensi~n is rooted in centuries of British colonialism.

The struggle, Hume said, is for "equal rights and full equality for all citizens'; in Northern Ireland, where he charged the Catholic minority has been deprived of job opportunities, decent housing and adequate representation in government.

Bogside is "where all the trouble started," Hume pointed out.

"It is a kind of Catholic ghetto in Londonderry, the city of Northern Ireland with the largest proportion of Catholicsabout two-thirds," he said. . Hume was in the U. S. to address the national convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians at Indianaf)olis. He came to Cincinnati with officials of the Cincinnati branch of the Hibernians.

Asserts Official Dia logue Useless MEXICO CITY (NC)-An' official dialogue - .between the Church and state in Mexico would be useless because neither institution is a true representativ~ of the people, the director of the Church's Mexican Social Secretariat has deClared.

Father Manuel Velasquez' statement Clime as a response to a statement nearly two months ago by Bishop Sergio Mendez Arceo of Cuernavaca.

The bishop called for an "open dialogue" with President-elect Luis Echeverria Alvarez on the subject of Mexico's anti-Church laws, which, although largely unenforced, restrict the Church's activities, preventing it from owning property and operating schools.

"It· would be a mistake to start an il,1stitutionalized dialogue between' the Church and state in Mexico because neither the government nor the bishops can claim they ara the representatives of all of the Catholics in the nation," the. director declared.

The dialogue that should be established is one between the Church in its modern .theological sense as the people of God and the state ali a political community, he said.

belongs to the Citizens Action Committee, which, like Bernadette Devlin's People's Democracy Group, is devoted to civil rights, "But we have different goals from those of Miss Devlin's group," he said, pointing out that he couldn't accept her socialist thrust. . He praised her "obvious talent," however, and said that "we all resent the fact that she was sent to prison. She did nothing more than thousands of others who are not in prison." Miss Devlin, a member of Parliament, is serving a six months' jail sentence for participating in a Northern Ireland riot.

'Inflames Passions' Hulne said he has seen some progress in the civil rights struggle. "We pave a one-man, onevote system now," he noted, and he suggested that gerrymandering-drawing the lines of political.districts to favor the ruling Unionist party-was on the way out.

But his hopes of reconciliation in Northern Ireland are diminished by the activities of "men like the Rev. Ian Paisley," who Hume said, "abuse religion to prey on the fears of the people and create social resistance to the cause of change and reform," Paisley, leader of an outspoken anti-Catholic group called the Ulster Volunteer Force, was' sharply criticized last year by a government commission of inquiry into the Northern Ireland disturbances. The commission accused Paisley of "inflaming passions and engineering opposition to lawful and what in' all probability might have other· wise been peaceful demonstrations,"

University Sets Minority Group Nationa I' Record SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-With nearly a quarter of its entering freshman medical students from minority groups, the University of California Medical School has set a national record.

University statistics show that last Fall's entering medical class of 136 students was composed of 22 Negroes, eight Mexican' Americans and on~ American Indian. This' year, with admissions almost complete, the school expects 33 minority group freshmen students in a class of 134.

Except- for two predominantly black medical schools, Howard in Washington, D. C. and Meharry in Nashville, Tenn.,. those statistics give the medical school here the highest p"ercentage of minority group students in the nation.

The university's drive to iri'crease minority enrollments has resulted in a number of modifications in the medical school's admissions process. .

In past years an initial screening, based on college grades and scores from the Medical College Admission Test, usually eliminated more than half of the school's applicants. ''The procedure automatically elimmated nearly all biack and Mexican American applicants," said John S. Wellington, associate dean of the school.

Now all minority applicants are passed through the first screening automatically and whenever possible they are in'terviewed. by the school before an admission decision is reached.

"What we try to do," said Dr. Wellington, "is to delve into a student's personal situation, especially to gauge his motivation and perseverence. We look for the personal characteristics important for being a physicl~n."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of

Finds Moderate Pleasure In Reading Marshall ,Novel

By RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S. KENNEDY

$5.95), which the jacket tells us is "a humorous novel about the modern Catholic Church and the Pill."

Mr. Marshall, who has been turning our books for longer than almost anyone writing today, has slowed down in his more recent output. His work has been lacking in the exuberance and Iightfootedness which once characterized it.

Besides, he has repeated himself more than a little, and his typical tricks have. grown so familiar as to be predictable and consequently less titillating.

The Bishop of the title seems to be Bishop Bed,e Jenkins, although throughout the novel there are allusions to the certainty that Jenkins' secretary, young Father Spyers, is certain to be one day a bishop, possibly even pope.

Father Spyers loves people, is solicitous for their needs, gri~ves over their sufferings and perplexities. He is also, an ardent antivivisectionist.

ConfessIonal Scenes..

Two other clerics are close to 8ishop Jenkins. The first is his vicar general, Monsignor Basil Powell, a man of taste and with a distinguished military record.

The second is Monsignor Finbar Ignatius O'Flaherty, administrator of the cathedral, a roaring flannelmouth.

Such plot as there is, is set off by the publications of the encyclical Humanae Vitae. This arouses lively discussion and some debate. Bishop Jenkins is -firm in demanding external and internal acceptance of it by his priests.

As in other Marshall novels, there are confessional scenes, and in a series of these Father Spyers requires conformity to the law by a woman whose situation is extremely difficult. There are dire,indeed tragic, consequences, which lead to a change of attitude on Father Spyers' part and his being penalized.

Ce~trlst Stand The other main theme is Monsignor Powell's troubies with a nun, Sister Juliana, who is convinced that she made a mistake in entering the convent and is

but her persuasive powers are greater'than his, for she induce~ him to leave the priesthood and also leave the Church. They do not marry; however, but go separate ways. ~t is hard to ~etermine precisely what is Mr. Marshall's attitude toward the changes and the turmoil in the Church. He is no longer a young .man, and one might readily expect that his views would be conservative.

And so, in part at least, they prove..

But just When onâ&#x201A;Ź concludes that he opposes everything new, there pops up evidence clean to the contrary. His stand, apparently, is centrist.

'Theft of Silence' He can be biting about ,the Englishing of the liturgy., "Surely that was no excuse for this mixture of second person singu-, lar and plural, for this intolerably chatty prayer of consecration ,~ ;' 0:< the vulgarity of 'all God's friends' for hominibus bonae voluntatis.' " "That was the great error the liturgical reformers had' made ,~ 0:< 0:< the theft of silence from a world already dedicated to din."

But then he can make merry with Monsignor O'Flaherty's bellowed criticisms of Vatican II as "a greater disaster than the Reformation. " And he can say pithily, "But Pope John himself spoke of the necessity of an aggiornamento.

That was what Vatican II was supposed to be about. It seems to me that we're now interpret~ ing this in the English senseadjourning the aggiornamento, putting off the bringing up' to date."

Good:Humored While satirizing the high dudgeon of the self-important Mrs. the Pickley-Oxborrow over changes in the Church, he can sympathize with the bewilder'ment of a person who truly loved and faithfully observed the old ways.

One especially striking point which is made again and again in the book is that "Our Lord was never Delphic," meaning that He spoke plainly and not ambiguously.

But one remembers, too, that He habitually used parables and disclosed the direct meaning only to His close associates, not the multitude.

If this novel settles none of the problems which its people face, if it is skipping rather than probing, at least it is goodhumored, even-tempered and can be read with moderate pleasure.

Advocates New CO Provisions \ NEW HAVEN (NC)-An edi, torial in the Knights of Columbus' monthly magazine Colum,bia urges new government steps to prevent draft-eligible 'men from abusing conscientious objector provisions of Selective Service rules wid,ened by a recent' Supreme Court decision.

Accuses IFB I ATLANTA (NC) - The Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, successor to the slain Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, charged here that Federal Bureau of Investigation agents are wiretapping the telephones' of "anyone who stands up for justice."

Written by Columbia editor Elmer Vol Feldt and scheduled to appear in the magazine's September issue, the article points out that civilian service options available to conscientious objectors are ,generally qess onerous' than combat'military duty.

To equalize the burden, Vol Feldt suggests prorating civilian service at the rate of three , years for every year of obligatory military dutr. .

New provisions regarding conscientious objectors are needed, VOl1 Feldt commented, because past and potential court decisions are greatly widening opportunities for men to claim C.O. status.
