The figure is up about 300 from last year and comprises 7400 grade schoolers and 3380 high school students, said department officials.

The need for values is what brings students to Catholic schools said officials of the Na­ tional Catholic Educational Asso­ ciation in a start-of-school story carried by the National Cath­ olic News Service. . "Values and financing are the really critical areas that are get­ ting the attention now," accord­ ing to School Sister of Notre Dame Sister Carleen Reck, NCCA elementary education di­ rector.

Sister Reck said parochial schools !lave "a special mission, a unique call. Parents want something different from the school d9wn the block; that's why they're paying tuition."

BEIRUT, Lebanon (NC) Red Cross officials praised Mother Teresa of Calcutta for her help in evacuating 37 retarded and handicapped children from a bomb-damaged mental hospital in 'Beirut recently.

She saw the problem, fell to her knees and prayed for a few seconds and then she rattled off a list of supplies she needed," said one Red Cross official who helped in the rescue operation.

The hospital, Dar Al-Ajaza Is­ lamia Mental Hospital, had been hit at least five times; there was no water, and the two top floors had been blasted apart.

John DeSalis, head of the inter­ national Red Cross delegation in Lebanon said that Mother Teresa "was the answer to a prayer.

We told her, 'You must come and see these children,' She came, she saw them and said: 'I'll take them.' ..

The forced withdrawal of the Palestine Liberation Organiza­ tion's guerrillas froin Beirut, Leb­ anon, is seen as an indirect vin­ dication of King Hussein's own war against PLO militants, who threatened in 1970 to tum Jor· dan into a civil war battlefield such as eventually developed in Lebanon. But now that the PLO has lost Lebanon as an operation­ al base against Israel, Jordan looks with growing apprehen­ sion at unmistakable signs that it is likely to become the focal point of the next crisis in the Middle East.

There is a pervasive feeling in Jordan that the country is head­ ed for hard times. It 'stems from high-level Israeli pronounce­ ments on what steps the govern­ ment of Prime Minister Mena­ chern ,Begin hopes to take once the situation in Lebanon is stabi­ lized.

In today's church, the diaconal vocation is to service as well as total commitment to God. It is a 'call to share in a community that will be recognized by all of God's people by its marks of service and prayer. Those with a real desi,re and ability to offer service to the Church will find the diaconate a challenge for the future.

Officials in Jordan fear that Israel will eventually sign -a peace treaty with the newly formed Christian-dominated gov­ ernment in Beirut. That, they feel, would evitably ,lead to reo newed Israeli pressure on Jordan to follow suit and accept a settl ment of the Palestinian question far short of the PLO demands for a Palestinian state.

In the Fall River diocese, per­ manent deacons fulfill a variety of ministries, relating to the whole of the church community.

They may administer baptism, witness marriages, officiate at funerals, distribute communion and preach the word of God. In furthering the church's mission of service, they' will develop ministries to the sick in hospitals and nursing homes, to the aged, to prisoners, to students, to the poor, to the black and Hispanic communities and to immigrants newly arrived in the diocese.

Labor's Sad Day Labor- Day is usually a time of grand hoopla, bringing the summer season to a ceiebratory· close. .

This year· it's a mere murmur, routinely completing a series of dull days.

Even Mother Nature has pushed us hurriedly through this so-called festive time with a premature taste of fall.

It seems everything in ·the 1982 labor movment is going askew.

Many problems now ~aced by unions seem, on the surface at least, to be attributable to Reaganomics. There is some truth in everything. Labor feels for many reasons that it has· no friend in the current administration. High interest rates, a volatile market and soaring unemployment have combined to sink the nation into a prolonged recession.

Another fact to be considered is that a woeful Secretary of Labor must spend more time fighting personal court battles than those of the worker. .

If the administration support of workers' rights 'is flawed, so too is that .of contemporary unionism.

Inexplicably, union leadeJ.:s have been like the proverbial ostrich with its head in the ground when it has come to matters of computerization' and automation. Rather than reali~ing that modem technology can benefit the worker, they have constantly and deliberately pictured ,scientific advances as deadly foes of labor.

Unlike their Japanese counterparts, American union leaders over the past" decade have attempted to convince workers that all this "new stuff" is antilabor, antijob and antiunion.

Sales.of...foreign cars to the American public should, however, definitively put to rest such narrow and defeatist attitudes. Once and for all this Labor Day, American labor should acknowledge that the computer' and the robot are here. to stay, that they are in actuality the worker's be.st friend in that they develop new jobs and new technologies and will eventually bring millions of new workers into the marketplace.

The original goals of Samuel Gompers, the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor were to. help the American worker throw off the chains of injustice and inequity, to free children from slavery and to eradicate the horrors of industrial working conditions.

To some extent, these objectives have been achieved, but much remains to be accomplished in, for example, the areas of migrant and sweatshop labor, undocumented work­ ers and illegal imports. . For labor to leave these and other such critical concerns unaddressed will serve only to undermine the entire struc­ ture of American unionism.

As we celebrate Labor Day, 1982, may it prove to be a time when the labor movement will once more move. Labor can .indeed enjoy a, new dawn and a new day if it will stop looking backwards.

Labor must accept the challenge of the' time, not with the trite slogans. of yesteryear, but with words of promise and posaibility for the days to come.

With rehewed spirit and motivation, the American labor movement can once again be a sign of hope for the working man and woman, not just a cynical whisper from days gone by.

THE ANCHOR-Dioce'se of Fall River-Fri., Sep~. 3, 1982

On Human Work

.The following excerpts are from Pope John- Paul II's ency­ clical letter, Laborem Exercens (On Human Work), issued last Sept. 15. The pontiff, in youth a laborer in a stone quarry and a chemical plant, declares that work holds the key to social problems and that it is, along with prayer, the "way of sanetl­ fication."

Definition of Work Through work man must earn his daily bread and contribute to the continuai advance of science and technology and, above all, to elevating unceasingly the cui­ . tural and moral level of the society within he lives in com­ munity with those who belong to the same family.

And work means any activity by man, whether manual or in­ tellectual, whatever its nature or circumstances, it means any hu­ 'man activity .that can and must be recognized' as work, in the midst of all the many activities of which man is capable and to which he is pre-disposed by his very pature, by virtue of human­ ity itself.

-

Man is made to be in the visi­ ble universe an image and like­ ness of God himself, and he is placed in it in order to subdue the earth. From the beginning, therefor~, he is called to work.

Work is one of the character­ istics that distinguish man from the rest of the creatures, wRose activity for sustaining their lives cannot be called work. Only man is capable of work and only man works, at the same time by work occupying his existence on earth.

Thus, work bears a particular mark of man and of humanity, the mark of a person operating within Ii community of persons.

And the mark d~cides its interior characteristics; in a sense, it con­ stitutes its very nature.

Constituent of Life ~an's life is built up every day from work; from work it derives its· specific dignity. But at the same time work contains·the un­ ceasing measure of human toil and suffering, and also of the harm and injustice whichpene­ trate deeply into social life with­ in individual nations and on the international level.

While it, is true that man eats the bread produced. by the work of his hands - a,nd this means not only the daily bread by which his body keeps alive but also the bread of science and progress, civilization and culture ":"it is also a perennial truth that he eats this bread by "the sweat of his face" - tl}at is to say, not only by personal eff.ort and toil but also in the midst of many tensions, conflil:ts and crises which, in relationship with the. ·reality of work, disturb the life of individual societies and also of all humanity.

and hope to the millions who' to­ begillning with the encyclical, Rerum Novarum. In this context, day live in conditions of shame­ study of the question of work, ful and unworthy poverty.

Constant F8ctor In ,the midst of all these pro­ cesses - those of the diagnosis of objective social reality and also those of the church's teach­ ing in the sphere of the complex and many-sided social question - the question of human work naturally appears many times.

This issue is, in a way a constant factor both. of social life and of the church's teaching.

In fact, the" Church's social teaching finds its source in Sa­ cred Scripture, beginning with the Book of Genesis, and es­ pecially in the Gospel and the writings of the Apostles. From the beginning, it was part of the Church's teaching, her concept of. man and life in society, and' es­ pecially the social morality which she worked ,out according to the needs of the different ages.

This traditional patrimony was then inherited and develop­ .ed by the teaching of the popes on the modern "social question,"

Family Night

FOI "OAtfPT 24 HOII' S~,.,~ Charles Velolo, Pres.

Summer has passed and the months ahead are waiting to be filled like the empty pages of a notebook. Change continues in all of us. During Labor Day week we can reflect on how many changes have taken place in our lives because of the labors of others. The actions of each person affect many others. By our actions we change others as well as ourselves.

ACTIVITY IDEAS Young Families

For example, how he or she feels or would act wearing these clothes. If different types of clothing create changes in us, what other things in our lives make us change? The more ideas the better. What is good about change? What is bad about change?

Middle Year

~amilies

Answer and complete the fol­ lowing and reflect together: 1. What change this fall am I most eagerly awaiting? Why? 2. What changes in Qur family have been difficult this year?

3. Changes I enjoy in my life .are ...

4. I find change difficult when 5. I wish to change ..' . in my life this fall.

Adult Families Read aloud Ecclesiastes 1:1-11, then read Matthew 5:14-16. An­ swer the above questions for mid­ dle years families. .

~ave a family style show.

Each family member find three different types of outfits to wear.

Mom and Dad make a special effort to wear some older fash­ ions. As each person models his or her outfits, talk about how they effect change in ihe person.

SNACK TIME Baked apples with sugar and cinnamon and a dab of whipped cream or ice cream.

ENTERTAINMENT WHO AM I? Mom or Dad write on pieces of paper the names of individuals who c;hanged history. Pin a name on the back of each family mem­ ber. Take turns having each per· son guess who he or she is.

Questions asked by the person seeking to learn his or her iden­ tity can be answered only by a "Yes" or "No." It is loads of fun!

SHARING Complete the following: . - I am happy when .

- I am lonely when .

- I feel close to God when .-

I feel important when . • .

CLOSING PRAYER Dear Father, thank you for the fun of this Family Night. Thank you for the labors of people in our community that help to make our lives comfortable. Father, we pray for the people who have no work and ask you to help them through others who care.

Father, help us to be generous .and share our goods with those less fortunate. Amen.

Continued from page three ing in Amman was. dominated by two pictures: one of himself and the other of King Hussein of Jordan. ~here was no picture of the pope.

"That would be considered a bit offensive ina Moslem coun­ try," the archbishop said. But he hastened to add that King Hus­ sein is a "great supporter" of Christian churches.

Hospital system CINCINNATI (NC) - Twenty­ eight Sisters of' Charity have asked two hospitals, Good Sam­ aritan in Cincinnati and Good Samaritan in. Dayton, to recoh­ sider participation in the govern­ ment's Civilian-Military Contin­ gency Hospital System.

The CMCHS, instituted in 1980, is a government effort to obtain commitments from civil­ ian hospitals near airports to care for U.S. war casualties.

The Department of Defense has presented the plan in 'con­ nection with conventional war­ fare, but critics have said it is a step in preparing for nuclear war. ".

The 28 nuns asked if the plan was "congruent with the Sisters of Charity's corporate stand against nuclear war.

"The Catholic Health Associa­ tion is neutral on the plan, leav­ ing participation decisions up to CHA members.

, Hussein,-who has been on the throne for 30 years, attended Catholic schools in Jordan.

Jordan has freedom of wor­ ship but Christians consider it unwise to proselytize. Children of the Moslom elite are sent to Catholic schools in expectation of a better education. Christian churches cannot teach Chris­ tianity in Moslem sc~ools. There is one ·Christian in Hussein's cabinet and quite a few Christ­ ians have reached high levels of the civil service.

Christians compose about 10 percent, of Jordan's 2.3 million population. Their numbers are' shrinking, mostly through emi· gration to the United States. The Melkite church, an Eastern· rite of the Catholic ChUrch, has 45,000 members. The Latin-rite church in. Jordan has' 40,000 members. The other main Chris­ tian group is the Greek Ortho­ dox Church with 150,000 mem­ bers.

Economically, Melkite Cath­ olics are either 'very rich or very poor, said Archbishop Youakim.

The Melkites have 10 churches in. 'Jordan, four of them in the capital of Amman; 18 priests; and five seminarians.

The Greek Orthodox Church has 25 seminarians and the Latin­ rite has 30.

The shortage of priests pro­ motes ecumenism among Chris­ tians. There are only 40 Chris­ tian families in and around the Red Sea port city of Aquaba, so the three churches rotate in at-

CHD support Dear Editor: I wish to thank the people of the Diocese of Fall River for their continuing and generous support of the Campaign for Human De­ velopment. A check for $42,500 'has been received here at the national office. This. amount is the % portion to be distributed nationally to self·help projects designed to remove the causes of poverty.

This year 610 funding pro­ posals requesting $35 mi\llion were received. These have been reviewed and prioritize~ by na­ tional staf(, the CHD Diocesan Directors, and the CHD National Committee of 40 people repre­ senting all geographic regions and the ethnic/racial makeup of the United St~tes. This year we had about $6.5 million to fund about 195 self-help groups. The Ad Hoc Committee of 13 bishops met on June 12, 1982, and gave their final approval to recom­ mendations made by the National Committee.

Since 1970, the Diocese of 'Fall River has received seven national CHD grants totaling $213,800 for a, re,t~rn of 63%.

The "contiriu'ed generosity of the people of your diocese fulfills the spirit of the ':V0rds of Pope John Paul II: "This is the pure and sim­ ple mission of· the Gospel.

The Church would not be faithful to the Gospel if it were not close to the poor and if it did not defend their rights." (L'Oservatore Ro­ mano, 8/2/81) CHD provides an opportunity for us to live as Jesus did, in solidarity with the poor, the wounded, the marginated, and those considered "least" in our society.

On behalf of the entire CHD family, I express sincere thanks also to Bishop Daniel A. Cronin, and to Rev. Peter N. Graziano, your Diocesan Dir~ctor.

Pleasant surprise Dear Editor: 'It was indeed a pleasant sur­ prise to see in recent editions of The Anchor such conservative articles as those by Father Har­ rington and Ma~t Kane, who quotes Michael Novak (Anchor, Aug. 6).

It allows us to hear something other than the very liberal har­ angues of Mary McGrory.

My thanks to all who make it possible for such articles to be published.

Obje,ction Dear Editor: I read your· Anchor magazine of Aug. 20 (as I always do) and I object 100 percent to your editorial. You really told your readers to vote against Senators Kennedy and Tsongas. It doesn't make much sense to me.

I always thought The Anchor was not a political publication.

I regret to say that it is. You re­ member Father Drinan, why he got out of politics?

As for myself, I'm 100 percent antiabortion, as you are, but we cannot make two senators ig­ nore 50 percent of the voters.

Forhand.icapped Dear Editor: In reading "Know Your Faith" for Aug. 13, I was especially in­ terested in the column titled {'A very, special home." .

I have just returned from a retreat animated by Jean Vanire at Sacred Heart Seminary, De­ troit. There I met the executive' director of Misericordia Home (described in the Anchor article), Sr. Rosemary Connelly, RSM, who shared her expertise with me to assist our current effort to bring L'Arche to Massachu­ setts.

Through the caring and gen­ erosity of the LaSalette Fathers in Ipswich we are opening a resi­ dential community in the spirit of Jean Vanier's L'Arche (a pro­ graqt offering permanent homes to handicapped adults).

It is the hope of Irenicon, Inc. founder of this community on the North Shore, that the Southeast/ Cape Cod area will also welcome L'Arche.

I would be interested to hear from any parents or concerned citizens who would like to join our effort (tel. 335-5960, week­ days; 888-6033, weekends).

Threats told WASHINGTON (NC) Father Robert Stark, a U.S. miss­ ionary in central Nicaragua, said opponents of the Nicaraguan government have threatened to kill him and his parishioners if they cooperate with government development programs. Father Stark was in Washington to talk with congressmen and human rights groups concerning condi­ tions among the 30,000 peasants scattered in 33 villages through­ out his mission. Father Stark said during a raid by "counter-revo­ lutionaries," as nat~ves call them, food, hunting rifles, and ma­ chetes belonging to the villagers were seized and people were ordered not to help Sandinista programs.

Candlelight vigil in Stoughton -

Stoughton protests STOUGHTON, Mass (NC) ­ About 3,000 Stoughton area resi­ dents, led by Catholic, Jewish and Protestant clergymen, held a candlelight vigil in Town Square to protest a federal court order allowing an adult bookstore to open in the square.

"We have come here to pray for the reversal of a federal judge's decision allowing an adult bookstore in our town/' Father Romeo D. Levasseur, assistant pastor of St., James Church, told the crowd Aug. 24.

The previous week U.S. Dis­ trict Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. had ruled that a refusal by the town of 27,000 to allow' the store to open would violate the store owners' freedom of speech.

"We, the citizens of Stoughton, are up in arms," Father Levas­ seur said to the people in the square, some of whom were wearing T-shirts reading "SOS" (Save Our Stoughton) or holding signs reading "Stamp Out'Smut," , "To put it in the language of the street," Father Levasseur said, "we are mad as hell. We want no smut iIII our town. The' harm done to our beloved com­ munity is irreparable. We want it stopped yesterday," Store opponents argue that a high school, junior high and ele­ mentary school are located with­ in a half mile of the store. They also contend that town property values will be lowered and Stoughton's image will be dam­ aged.

The store owners, Wayne Lightower of Providence and Donald Tortalani of New Bed­ ford, could not be reached for comment.

"Our goal is to get the store

out," said Paul Tiberian, chair­ man of the Save Our Stoughton group, which pickets the store daily and has had downtown merchants place anti-bookstore posters in their windows.

Stoughton selectmen have voted to spend $10,000 in legal fees to appeal the judge's order.

"We will go to the Supreme Court if necessary," said Select­ man Charles Yaitanes.

Town counsel Leonard Kopel­ man, who argued the case before Garrity, said he was' not sur­ prised by the decision. "I had advised the selectmen," he said, "that the judge would uphold the bookstore, that he would not be able to stop them. I knew, just as the judge knew, what the Su­ preme Court, has said on such issues. The judge had no choice," But town manager Patrick J. Hyland disagreed. "A lot of citi­ zens," he said, "feel the protec­ tion of the rights of the book­ store owner is infringing on what they consider to be their right to live in a community which does not have this type of es­ tablishment, which they feel is detrimental to the community and to the welfare of their fam­ ily and children,"

THE ANCHOR;-'Diocese of Fall River-Fri., Sept. 3, 1982

ALBANY, N.Y. (NC) A priest of the Albany Diocese who visited, Poland recently, said he ,was told that the ,involvement of young' people in the church has increased since the imposi­ tion of martial law there last December.

"The youth say they are more vigorous and strong than ever," 'said the priest, Father John Ma­ ,lecki. "They said that martial .law has matured them." , In an interview with the Evan­ gelist, ,Albany diocesan news­ paper, Father Malecki said he had found "moments of dis­ couragement but no breaking of the spirit" among Poles, despite the repression they are suffering.

At times he 'was "ashamed to eat because they- have so little," he said. "When I left and landed at the airport in London, it was culture shock to see all the food, and all the books and news­ papers. In Poland, the people have so little to eat and only one 'newspaper. ,But all around' .I saw posters with a smiling face and the slogan, 'In spite of everything, smile.' Despite the sorrow and heartache, they have a sharp sense of humor and are still able to laugh."

Father Malecki, who' speaks Polish, said the highlight of his stay in Poland was a visit to the shrine of Jasna Gora, which houses the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, patroness of Po­ land.

At the convent of the Sisters of the Resurrection,. where he stayed, he observed many pIl­ grims arriving for the celebra­ tion of the feast of the Assump­ tion on' Aug. 15, Father Malecki said.

"This was no ordinary feast of the Assumption," he said. "The pilgrims were motivated by the anniversary of Czestochowa and, by the absence of the pope, who had announced he would not be visiting Poland this year. They were very conscious of his ab­ sence.", " Father Malecki was impressed by the involvement of the young with the church and by the rela­ tionship of the priests to the lllity, he said. ' "I would guess that 80 per­ cent of the pilgrims were be­ tween the ages of 16 and 24," he 'said. "That was the most strik.. ing, thing. And I never heard. such singing in my life. The quality of the hymns, which are vigorous and lively, is unlike ,anything in the American church.

'The hymns were religious, but,

they weren't soft and easy; they

had a youthful snap and bounce

to them.

"hi Poland, I learned that mu­

'sic is considered a very impor­ tant way to instruct people in their faith. The songs have a lot more teaching depth in the' lyrics than anything we. sing in America." ......The priest said he was aston­ ished when groups ,of lay people playfully grabbed their priests and tossed them into 'the air on 'completing their pilgrimage.. It was, he said, an example of the close relationship Polish prie~ts have with the people.

"This was brand new to me," Father Malecki said, "and it'!> unlike anything I have seen in Europe or the United States.

The priests ~now the day-to-day ordinary lives of the people. It is so intertwined with their own lives that the priests more than accept it; they iden~ify with it.,­ The priests are at one with the ordinary, gutsy lives of the peo­ ple:" 'Summing up his experience, Fatner Malecki said, "I went to see a pious pilgrimage and found instead a deeply human experi­ ence of people needing people; all motivated by a transcend­ ental desire for God and tied to a longing for freedom."

ONLY THE LONELY We walked the loneliest mlle We smile without any style We kiss altogether wrong No intention.

We mention the time we were together So long ago well I don't remember AlII know , ' , Is it makes me feel good now.

It's like I told you Only the lonely- can play Only the lonely Only the lonely can play Written by Martha Davl~ Sung by the Motels,

© 1982 by Clean Sheets Music. All Rights Reserved.

Used by Permission.

"ONLY THE LONELY" is the first chart hit for the Los Angeles~based band, The Motels.

It describes a relationship that has become an empty shadow of

what it once was. The gradual death of a friendship may be more difficult than an abrupt, "It's over."

Death by neglect is like having \

'

an illness that cannot be diag· nosed: We know something is wrong but not what or why.

The song speaks of a dying relationship's chief symptom, lingering loneliness. Acts which once demonstrated' closeness now hurt because of the emptio ness. "We walked the loneliest mile, we smile without any style, we kiss altogether wrong 'no intention."

Obviously, the singer feels a lot of pain. Yet anyone who falls in love should know that feelings can change.

When we are first in love, powerful feelings often surface.

We feel very close to the other person and life-seems filled with purpose and meaning.

However we caimot contin­ ually feel so intensely. There will be times when we do not feel so close to the person we love, even when we' are committed: to him or her in marriage.

Every relationship has mo· ments of loneliness, but this doesn't' mean that something is wrong. Healthy, loving relation­ ships go through a natural cycle of closeness and separateness.

Hiding such feelings only deepens the loneliness and in­ creases the emotional distance from the other person. Part of a loving relationship is to risk sharing feelings.

Love is powerful, but it is not magic. It needs to be nurtured.

~t. WilUam Wins PI.ayoHs St. William, which finished fourth in the regular season, was the winner in the post-season' playoffs of the Fall River CYO Baseball League. After eiimina· ting first-place Notre Dame 4-2 and 12-1 in the semi-finals, St. William nipped Immaculate Con­ ception, the runnerup in regular season, 5-4. in the opener of the best-of-three final last Sunday night at Lafayette Park, Fall River.

The series resumed Tuesday night when with a 9-5 victory Immaculate Conception tied the series. Immediately after com­ pletion of that game the contes· tants played the deciding game of the series. Despite a seven RBI outburst by Imaculate Con­ ception's Al Martel, St. William

won the deciding game 13-12 in eight innings. ..­ Martel's crucial hit was a two run homer in the sixth inning that tied the score at 12-12. St. William rode to victory on singles by John Medeiros and Norm Rego. Medeiros, who had stolen second, scored on the single by Rego, who earlier had hit a three-run homer.

The opening game of the ser­ ies was a pitcher's duel. Bob Shea, who' went 'the distance, for St. William and Immac's Al Martel each allowed only six hits. each walked only three.

Martel fanned. 14, Shea 10.

Immaculate Conception had swept its' semi-final with third­ place finisher in the regular sea­ son, Our Lady of Health, 9-6 and 4-2 to gain its berth in the final.

Reck said, finances pose a "double-pronged problem - to' what 'extent can the parents pay (tuition) and how long can the teachers afford to teach?"

Sister Reck said that many teachers have told her they like the value-oriented environment of the parochial schools but they don't know how much longer they can live on salaries as low as $7,000 or $8,000 a year. But to pay teachers more usually means increasing the parents' burden by raising tuition, she said.

She said she sees tuition tax credits as "a way of helping fami­ lies while ,we help teachers," Tuition tax credits would give parents a tax credit for part of the tuition they pay to send their children to non-public schools.

But tuition tax credits will not come to the rescue, at least 'not during this fall. As the school ~ear started tuition tax legisla­ tion remained mired in the Sen­ ate Finance Committee.

The question for now, said Sister Reck, is can people ho'id on long enough until things get better, until things pick up?"

The answer, she said, "seems to say enrollment is holding firm, in spite of the lower birth rate and tight finances."

Father Yeager said the key is "doing more with less money .. .. We need to use what we have well." Schools are lookIng for ways to use all of their re­ sources intelligently to avoid raising tuit\on.

"When E~ F. Hutton talks, Cath­ olic schools listen," Father Yea­ ger said, explaining that the in­ vestment securities company will be providing schools with "improved .money management tools," such as a money market fund.

For parents the tighter finan­ cial situation means "& lot more parental concern - the dollar they're spending on their child's education is perhaps a more meaningful dollar than a year ago," Father Yeager said.

But parents continue to spend those dollars because' Catholic ,schools offer values, ~iscipline and "the assurance that you will come away having learned some­ 'thing and will have learned how to Jearn."
