Tragedy of Hunger Means Brains Not' Being Used WASHINGTON (NC)=-'''I always say this: the tragedy of hunger is not the tragedy of empty stomachs but the tragedy of brains not being used."

Supplemented Catechism Gains Bishop1s Imprimatur NEW YORK (NC)-The English-language edition of the Dutch New Catechism, the center of controversy in 1967 when an American bishop first gave, then withdrew, his imprimatur, has won official approval-and the same bishop's imprimatur.

Msgr. J.A. Silvia Completes 50 Years Laboring for God

"No doubt they're going all out for it," says the monsignor, who still says a daily Mass-in Latin-at Our Lady's altar in the church he has served as pastor for 19 years.

Sorenson Bac'ks Student Activism In Support of Vietnam Peace JERSEY CITY (NC)-A former White House advisor lauded student activism aimed at bringing about an American disengagement from Vietnam.

Lecturing at St. Peter's College here in New Jersey,. Theodore C. Sorenson, former special aide to President John F. Kennedy, said the war has "poisoned" American society. But even so, he added, the country is not in as bad a shape as the more vociferous critics claim.

The main domestic result of American involvement in Vietnam, he asserted, is that impor-

in their attempt to find a more efficient manner of exercising authority-the Pope's as well as their own. " , The assembled bishops, the theological debates ended, recommended the following manner of exercising a practical collegiality: 1. That the Pope cooperate with the episcopal conferences before making vital decisions that affect the Church; 2. That a permanent body be created that will coordinate the work and relationships between the Holy See and episcopal conferences; 3. That the Roman Curia serve both the Holy See and the episcopal conferences; 4. That there be greater personal contact between the Pope and the presidents of the episcopal conferences; 5. That the Synod of Bishops be convoked on an annual or bi-annual basis.

Douglas J. Roche of the NC News Service, convinced of the reassertion of Vatican II in the SYnod filed this report: Even the pessimists were struck by the speed with which the spirit of Vatican II reasserted itself during the first week of the world synod of bishops.

Once more we saw the Church as a living and dynamic organism willing to look at itself in the light of the modern world and'searching for the right kind of structure to meet the needs of our age.

Three points impressed me during the opening week: 1. The heavy weight of opinion-of both Pope and bishopsfor a workable form of collegiality in which the bishops will share with the Pope in an organic way in Church government.

2. No revolt or nastiness was necessary in order for the majority of bishops to make their point that they are not mere delegates of the pope but have power by divine right and the Pope, by his personal attendance at the debates, gave not the slightest hint that he regarded this open expression of opinion as disloyal to him..

3. Public opinion enabled the synod to get immediately on the progressive track.

Personal Prayer Greatest Need

THEANCHOR-Diocese,of Fall River-Thurs,. Oct. 23, ,1969· ,.'

Cardinal Urges Americans End Libera I-Conservative Antagonism ROME (NC)-In the American liberal's concern for the good of society and .the' conservative's concern 'for' the good of the individu'al, both sides are overlooking the greatest good of allthe common good of man.

With this sentiment in mind, John Cardinal Wright told a meeting of the 'American men's Club of Rome that there is a "polarization'.' between the left and the right that has 'caused "bitter antagonism bet~een both camps in America."

"We not only have a, solemn. obligation but a real need'. to put an end to .this polarization,'.'~said the cardinal, who is prefect of Congregation of the Clergy and . former bishop of Pittsburgh.

"We are surrOlfrided by a fog of intemperate names. Those who are for the good of the individual are branded as 'conservatives.' Those who are for the social good are called 'liberals,' " the cardinal said.

Common Good He urged that a formula be found that can reconcile the good of the individual and the good of the state. These two goods are in conflict in America, he said. .

"What is this 'common good' devotion to which may yet rally dn a single' cooperative effort generous 'conservatives' and thoughtful 'liberals'" he asked.

He answered his own question by saying: "It is not merely individual, it is not coldly political, though it is shared by all the . body politic and includes many political elements."

Jesuits Sen· College In Minnesota . MILWAUKEE (NC) - The facilities of Jesuit College located at St. Bonifacius, Minn., have been sold to the St. Paul Bible College of St. Paul, Minn., according to an announcement by Father Joseph D. Sheehan, S.J., provincial of the Wisconsin Province of hte Society of Jesus, headquartered here.

The price received for the buildings,. furnishings and land of approximately 173 acres was in excess of $3 million: The Jesuits will turn over the property to the St. Paul Bible College next June 1.

The college, for the past 10 years, has educated Jesuit seminarians in their first four years of training. The novitiate of the Wisconsin Province will be located at a site in the Twin Cities area, and the remaining students will be transferred to St. Louis where they will join the newly formed collegiate program for Jesuits at St. LO.l.lis University.

Laity to Have. lRole In Swiss Synod ZURICH (NC)-The laity will have the opportunity to partiCipate actively in preparations for the Swiss national synod scheduled for 1972, the Swiss bishops have announced.

A spokesman for the Swiss Bishops' Conference said at a press briefing here that, in addition to the bishops' commission of delegates, an interdiocesan commission, will be set up for which priests and laymen will be elected. A third commission has been established through which the laity may submit proposals for the synod themes.

nal continued, "is not only a collection of advantages and utilities, it is strongly moral and ethical in its content." He said this good is "all the heritage from the past and all the hope for the future which good men share-under God." He said: "The conscientious citizen who walks a Iittie leftof center, freed from the embarrassment of constant association with .senseless revolutionaries, should be able. to make a common cause in quest for the common good with the no less hon-. orable citizen who steers his course a· little right of center.'"

It was out of his concept ofthe common good, the cardinal declared, that the forefathers of America brought into continual usage such phrases as "the common weal," and the word "mutual" in the text o'f the nation's basic laws.

Knights to Fight Permissive Laws LONDON (NC) - The Knights of St. Columba, one of Britain's most active and infIuentialCatholic men's organizations, has announced its determination to fight all permissive anti-Christian legislation.

"We give public notice to those entrusted with the govern-. ment of this country that we shall not stand idly by and allow legislation which is contrary to Christian principles to be passed and become law without using every possible means to form public opinion against it," declared their leader,Philip Scott.

"We appeal to all our Christian brothers to support us in our endeavors."

Scott, speaking at the knights' . banquet here" was referring particularly to current moves to legalize euthanasia.

He described the knights plans to set up watch-dog committees in all parliamentary constituen-· cies, and to secure the coopera- . tion of outsiders, even. nonChristians, in their campaign.

Robert Melish, senior Catholic member of the present British government and Chief Whip (party manager) in the House of Commons, told the banquet if a. bill was ever introduced to abolish religious education, he ·would . break all the rules and speak against it himself.

(Religous instruction in state schools ·is another target of the secularists in Britain.)

He suggested that a bill to legislate euthanasia "would never get off the ground."

School Board Backs Classroom Prayers ·AGAWAM (NC)-The Agawan school committee has announced that it is in favor of recitation' of ,prayers in the ·c1assrooms of the public school system.

Agawam, a suburb of Springfield, is the second community in Massachusetts 'to favor' reinstituting prayers in the public schools. In.a 4-to-3 decision, the Agawam board announced its support of Leyden, Mass. (pop.

346) in its efforts to bring prayers back into the schools.

Leyden has returned prayers to the public schools on a voluntary basis, though school officials have been warned by the state education depllrtment to stop the practice. The United Supreme Court, in decisions from 1962 to 1965, banned all but silent meditation in,public schools.

NEW YORK (1'{C)-Officials of the Apostleship of Prayer are asking the American hierarchy to appoint laymen as associate directors to help diocesan, priestdirectors who find themselves burdened with other responsibilities.

The decision to request lay ·appointees was made at a meeting of regional and diocesan directors from the New England, • New Yor\{ and Maryland areas at Manresa Retreat House, Staten Island.' National Directors from the U. S. and Canada at.te,nded the meeting where ,the status of the worldwide apostolate was examined.

Declaring that "the great need ·of our day is prayer," the .directors said: "There is. evidence of a great lack of personal prayer in our parishes, homes, schools and colleges, and among priests and Religious as .well as am'ong lay adults and children."

- As an indication "of the lack of union with God through Christ iq prayer," they cited "increasing secularism in our schools and society in' general, defections from the priesthood and religious life, non-attendance at Mass .and infrequency of con. fession, unwillingness of many to accept the teaching of the vicar of Christ, and the low level of morality revealed in the press, in books and magazines, (imd) in the theater, movies, television, etc." .

here, commented: "While we deeply regret losing this outstanding priest, Bishop Sheen, we feel that the Holy Father has given us an excellent man in Bishop Hogan, who has given his whole life to the diocese in practically every field of diocesan service." .

ROME (NC)-Father Carlo M. Martini, S.J., has been elected the first Italian rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. .

Father Martini is a specialist in text criticism and has worked closely with Protestant scholars in the preparation of new Greek text of the New Testament that will be used in common by both Catholics and Protestants.

. NAZAREtH HALL IN ATTLEBORO FALLS: The third diocesan Nazareth Hall is a buzzing place tliese days as young educables demonstrate tremendous interest in the newest school for exceptional children. Neda (at left) has been in thi; country only a short time. A classmate shows her how to draw loops and circles that may eventually emerge as letters-then words-so she can communicate in the language of her adopted c:>untry. The sliding door (center) is usually closed between classrooms for' trainable groups. The y:lungsters (right) prepare for a S'Jlute ?o the Flag after putting their lunch boxes on special shelves.

The house does serve as the rectory for the most recently established parish in the diocese which, until such time as its own church edifice emerges, employs the facilities of Bishop Feehan Regional High School for parish functions.

But the first floor area has been converted into two suites to accommodate classrooms for one group of trainable children and, another, of educable children--children who because of various handicaps cannot attend regular school sessions.

At a seminar held this past Winter for teachers of exceptional children, Most Rev. James L. Connolly had announced that there would be a Nazareth Hall facility in the Attleboro. area come . September. The ground was broken in June for the new school adjacent to the regional high school, but not soon enough to erect a school by Fall. _ "However, we do have our Nazareth Hall as promised," says Sister Janet White, R.S.M. director with Sister Eileen Gosselin, R.S.M., both of whom are pursuing courses at Salve Regina College towards their master's degree in special education.

"This is the nucleus for the classes which' will be formed next September at the new school.. Working with these two groups of seven each, we are learning much about the advantages of small groups where we really get to know each child. .

Truth Makes A Difference There is an ad' for a movie which contains the words -Not that it makes any difference, but m9st of it is true.

It is rather too bad, isn't it, that truth mayor may not make a difference. It is unfortunate that truth is considered such an indifferent thing that it can be talked about so lightly. .

Of course, this is only a gimmick in a movie ad.

But it is ,also a reflection of how some people look on the truth.

A recent meeting of representatives of various religious persuasions found them talking about doctrine as if it were simply a minor aspect of religion. With a complete lack of ,historical sense, one theologian said that the early Christians did not pay too rilUch attention to doctrine. Then what did they die for ?Why so many early martyrs? Why such obstinacy, 'on th~ir .part in holdingfast to doctrine? .

To them, truth made a difference. Truth had consequences. Truth demanded much of them; indeed, it as~ed everything of many of them. '. ' '" People should be kind and merciful and forgiving.

But they must do this - and can, do this":- within the framework of truth. It is not a service to people to equate truth and falsehood nor is it an act of kindness or charity. ' Truth dQes make a difference.

Start Movement to Lighten Burden of Widow'ers t Widows CHICAGO (NC)-Mike returns to his South Side home each night, spends the evening drinking away the hours and living memories of happy years-before his wife died and the children moved away.

His friends, who came so often in the first days after Mary's death, haven't forgotten him, but they don't really want a fifth wheel around. His solitary nights may be more bearable in John Barleycorn's company, but the morning always comes.

Recently widowed Ann has other difficulties with five young children. She wouldn't want to go out partying, but some adult companionship would mean a lot to her.

The Nairn Conference, organized for Catholics widows, widowers and the spouses' of deceased Catholics, doesn't promise an immediate solution to Mike and Ann's problems, but it can help.

"Through Nairn, we try to help the widowed adjust to their new life by bringing them together with others who are facing and solving similar problems," said Father Edward' G. Corcoran, director.

Widowhood Vocation "So many legal problems arise, such as selling homes, appointing guardians, and writing wills.

Many of the newly widowed have never faced these questions before, so lawyers have volunteered to give our members some basic legal and financial advice.

"We invite the newly widowed to our conferences, which include brief talks by a priest and widowed persons on the psychology of widowhood and remarriage, and happiness in the widowed state," Father Corcoran said... .", ' ..

"We try to show the widowed that God isn't punishing them but that He is asking something of them through the vocation to widowhood," he said.

Social Activities "We also take up the idea of grief," he added. We ask them if extended mourning is good for the children: When it is carried beyond reasonable bounds, are they doing it for God, or just to please the neighbors?"

Nairn also provides a full range of social activities for members.

"I've been in Nairn for 10 years and I've watched it grow from the founding chapter here to groups all over the city and outlying areas. We've spread as

far as Uruguay and Venezuela," said John Bledsoe.

"The widowed can get a lot from Nairn, but it also depends on what they're looking for.

Some people like socializing and discussions. Others come to a few meetings and don't return.

Although we aren't a marriage bureau, some marriages have taken place among the members -mine among them," he said.

Religion Common Bond Bledsoe said there are more women than men in Nairn. He added: "Ladies .tend to band together more, and 'widowed men, can find more to do . . . They can play cards or go out to taverns, but with the double standard of American society, women can't."

John Krisek of Riverside has found that religion is a common bond among Nairn members.

"Nairn is the one place you can go where you don't dare feel sorry for yourself.

f"redicts Survival Of Christianity NEW DELHI (NC)-Christianity' in India faces increasing pressures as the country modernizes but has littfe to fear in the way of violent opposition, even if communism takes over, a Catholic educational leader declared here.

Father T. A. Mathias, who is president of the Jesuit Educational Association of India and honorary president of the National Board of Christian Higher Education, was assessing the Church's future at a Protestantsponsored conference.

"If communism should come to India, Christianity would survive," he commented. "Communism would be very different in this country which is basically religious and God-intoxicated. It is impossible to think of the ex- . termination of Christianity here even though the Hindu temperament is opposed to conversion.

There are no cases of martyrs here."

Fa,vors Industry Self-Regulation WASHINGTON (NC) - Sen. Frank E. Moss of Utah, who has been waging a battle against cigarette commercials on television, has called the American. system of broadcasting, "entirely the product of private enterprise," the best in the world.

"The variety of quality programming far outclasses that of any other country," Moss said.

Praising voluntary self-regulation by industry as a "vastly efficient alternative to government regulation," and more in keeping with American traditions of freedom, Moss said his preference is that the only role of Congress be that of "critic" to the TV industry, which would respond to valid criticism through adequate self-regulation.

"The best assurance that government controls will be minimal is for the broadcasting industry to' ,exercise good sense, good taste, and responsibility," Moss declared.'

Jesuits' Rome Travel Bureaa Provides Assistance for Strangers ROME (NC)"':"',A1l roads leading to Rome bring visitors, and a good quota of these call on the Jesuits. With 35,000 members of the order scattered across the world, each with his own relatives, friends and students and with planes flying in flocks, the influx into Jesuit headquarters might become an inundation.

To ward off this eventuality, the, generalate has established the Jesuit Guest Bureau.

The idea came from Fordham's former president, Father Vincent O'Keefe, S.J., assistant to the general, and American friends.

B. C. Law Dean Says Television Inane, Trivial BOSTON (NC)-The dean of Jesuit - operated Boston College law school takes a very dim view of the television industry as it stands today, and at a seminar of the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association he made known his mind in no uncertain terms.

"Banal, inane, and trivial," were terms Father Robert F. Drinan, S.J., used to describe programs that are being produced today, saying :'the community is angry at the outrageously bad programming it gets too often."

Father Drinan told the broadcasterS that "television distorts reality," adding, "there is ·profound discontent and you should not have your licenses in perpetuity."

Broadcast Lobby He charged that the people ,"are locked out by the networks which have a stranglehold as never before on broadcasting."

The Jesuit edUcator asserted that "three individuals in New York dictate what most of America will have in prime time.

Is that a healthy trend? I think it is a disaster."

Father Drinan categorized the broadcast lobby in Washington as "the most powerful in history, more intensive, more pervasive than the veterans, the bar or medicine."

He chided his listeners for throwing support to the Pastore bill which would ban applications for existing broadcast licenses, and accused proponents of distorting its contents and overselling its hazards. . 'Big Myth' "The extra measure of protection," said the BC dean, "would bring stagnation, not stability."

The Jesuit law expert told the broadcaster "The big myth running through your industry is that the airwaves some how belong to you. You have a trusteeship, not ownership.

"If the present system puts the Sword of Damocles over your head it should be there.

You should have to prove yourself by deeds."

Father Drinan continued: "Television is a most precious commodity. It has such a vast potential for the public that a decent job of administering is insufficient. Its value must be maximized," The BC dean concluded by saying "I have no way of knowing as you contend that our system is the best in the world,' but even if it is, I wallt it to be better. We should have a great national think-in on its possibiljties. The people should have a vote."

Presidents of Jesuit co;leges became interested.

School Aid Suit

By Marilyn Roderick On' a trip back from Vermont we stopped at the historical village of Deerfield, Mass., site of the famous Deerfield massacre. Old Deerfield, as the area that has been preserved is called, is a collection of houses on a beautiful tree-lined street, restored by the Heritage Foundation of flounces and pleats to every inch of their" dresses.

PHILADELPHIA (NC) A three-judge Federal Court took under advisement a 'preliminary motion to dismiss a suit challenging the constitutionality of a 1968 law providing state aid to nonpublic schools. A ruling on the motion was not expected for at least 10 days.

The law, the Pennsylvania Nonpublic Elementary and Secondary Education Act, authorized the state to pay part of the salaries of nonpublic school teachers who instruct in secular subjects, and to help underwrite the cost of textbooks and, other instructional materials.

State Atty. General William C. Sennett defended the constitutionality of the law on the basis of its provision that funds distributed to nonpublic schools from special sources, such as a tax on parimutuel betting, rather than from public education funds.

Henry W. Sawyer, former city councilman and attorney for the plaintiffs, told the court the law was unconstitutional, saying its primary purpose and effect were to aid religion.

Sawyer claimed the law, which is based on the concept that the state has the right to purchase public services from church-affiliated institutions, was "an attempt to serve a secular end by religious means," that, it "prefers one religion over another" in that the majority of non public schools are Catholic, and that it "creates a forbidden interdependence between church and state."

Bishop's Cha rity Ball Supports Nazareths Proceeds from the 15th annual Bishop's Charity Ball to be held Friday, Jan. 9 at Lincoln Park Ballroom will benefit the institutions for the exceptional children.

The newest school, Nazareth Hall in Attleboro, began this September with an enrollment of 27 pupils. Classes are being held on the first floor of St. Mark's Rectory, Attleboro Falls temporarily until completion of the new school 011 land adjacent to the Rectory.

Nazareth Hall on the Cape, situated in Hyannis, has an enrollment of 15 boys and 13 girls.

Nazareth Hall in Fall River has the Pre-Vocational Training School with an enrollment of 25 students between the ages of 14 Y2 to 19 who are being given job training. These students come from the Fall River, Taunton and New Bedford areas.

In the Nazareth Hall Sch'ool there are 65 students from the ages 6 to 14. Classes taught in the six classrooms include academic subjects, sewing, cooking, woodworking, home arts, home nursing, baby care and maintenance of building and grounds.

Sisters of Mercy The Sisters of Mercy teach at all schools with several lay teachers also engaged in teaching. Persons wishing to aid in this work may do so by having their names printed in the Charity Ball Souvenir Booklet or by purchasing tickets for the Ball.

Further information may be obtained from members of the Ball sponsoring organzations, the the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, or by writing to the Bishop's Charity Ball, 410 Highland Ave., F:all River, Tel. 676-89~3.

Dedicated to Bishop The 15th annual Bishop's Charity Ball is dedicated in honor of Most Rev. James L. Con-nolly on the occasion of his silo ver anniversary in the episcopate. Bishop Connolly will be a Bishop for 25 years in May 1970 and at the same time, 19 years as the Ordinary of the diocese.

This Ball should be the biggest and best as a tribute to Bishop Connolly for his outstanding charitable works in the diocese, especially in the field of endeavor for the exceptional and underprivileged children.

However,he declared, the notion that America can play the role of global policeman is false, admitting there are likely to be many other disturbances, not only in Asia but in Latin America, and the United States cannot police them all.

American troops should not be committed to action supporting the policy of every government facing a. challenge, he stressed.

But such governments should be given other means of support if it is in the best interest of the U.S. to do so, he feels.

He also said he would be in favor of granting an amnesty to all young men now serving prison terms for refusal to accept induction into the Armed Services on conscientious grounds.

By Patricia McGowan' A sparkling Dominican Sister, professor of psychiatric nursing at St. Anne's Hospital School of Nursing, Fall River, is introducing her students to a new dimension of bedside care. They are taking time to sit a nd talk to "problem patients," attempting to 'aid in treatment of the whole person by supplying a willing ear for troubles and complaints. They don't rush unprepared into such a delicate area, said Sister Thomas More. The student nurses

Masses in Rome ROME (NC)-The vicariate of Rome has declared that certain newspapers were "slanderous" in reporting that highly irregular Masses were being celebrated in the Rome diocese.

"Following a thorough investigation it has been determined that no Masses have been celebrated in the diocese with rites differing from those prescribed by competent authorities," the vicariate stated in a communique.

"Some of the reports are the fruit of imagination. Others have been so deliberately distorted that they can be regarded as slanderous," the communique said.

The announcement stated that the articles were authored by "an ecclesiastic who does not belong to the Rome clergy, does not have any official responsibility, and expresses his own personal ideas and opinions."

involved in such therapeutic listening have completed a training period at Taunton State Hospital, where they have worked with patients with acute mental problems. "This helps them to ..._ - - - . recognize the much less serious forms of emotional difficulties which appear in a general hospital such as St. Anne's." . ....

Students don't just go into a patient's room and start talking, she explained. "They'll do a back rub or arrange flowers, or have some sort of reason for being there, then will take the opportunity for a chat."

Bishop Suggests Youth Movement For Ecum'enicity PHILADELPHIA (NC) A Methedoist bishop disclosed here he had suggested that Pope Paul VI "challenge youth to form a mass movement which would promote the oneness of the people of God." Methodist Bishop Fred Pierce Corson of Philadelphia said he had a private audience with the Pope at Castelgandolfo, at which he proposed the Pontiff at one of his weekly general audiences suggest promotion of such a mass ecumenical movement by young people.

Bishop Corson participated in joint Catholic-Methodist discussions on the island of Malta. On his 'return trip he visited Pope Paul.

"The Pope expressed deep concern and interest at giving guidance to such a youth movement," Bishop Corson said. "It was the first time in my four conversations with him that he took out a pad and took notes.

"I felt that 1 could not go further," Bishop Corson said, "than to make a request that he give thought to such a proposal."

Bishop Corson in an interview said lIis suggestion came as a result of his conversations with other religious leaders on Malta.

"We recognized," he said, "that there has been no majoryouth movement for ecumenicity -not because mass movements have been outmoded, but be, cause "for some reason, young people have ceased to regard the church as of major importance in the world today."

The youth movement proposal, Bishop Corson said, resulted from a mutual recognition' at, the Malta meeting that "the ecumenical movement is in danger of evaporation due to the church's inability to maintain the the interest of the rank and file in a concern for unity as a major need of our day."

"Out of our conversations," Bishop Corson said, "came agreement for a new approach in our ecumenical discussions.

We returned to what Pope John had said at the beginning of the Second Vatican Council and what Pope Paul has reiterated to me-that the ecumenical movement can be likened to a pyramid.

"To be concerned only with the pinnacle and to neglect the base is to construct a pyramid which has no solid' foundation.

Thus, our new strategy is to discuss not Qnly theological matters, but also disciplinary and pastoral matters."

By disciplinary matters, Bishop Corson said he was referring "not to restrictions but to Iifegiving orders of the Church which help us to come to know the presence of God in our lives."

Bishop Corson said: "The Pope appeared to. be in excellent health and he did not show in his personality any of the agitation which the public press is attributing to hit:J1. He was reo laxed hi his manner and appeared to be a true shepherd of his people."

"I think we're in a very critical mood in public communica~ tions," Bishop Corson 'said, referring to criticisms of the pope.

"We're yielding to the dubious practice of gaining an advantage by destroying our opponents."

"I think the Pope is a moderate," Bishop Corseon said, "and there is :10 implication that he is attempting to repudiate what he was instrumental in creatingthe Second Vatican CounciL"

Ask Parishioners To Help ,Decide School's Future ALBANY (NC}-Families of three parishes in the Albany 'diocese were polled on their attitudes toward 'continuation of Catholic education.

The results of the poll will carry considerable weight in making Ii' decision about the future of St. Mary's Academy in Little Falls. Possibilities range from tearing down the present school and building a new one to doing away with Catholic education altogether.

More than a year ago a committee of St. Mary's parishioners was formed to consider problems involved in the continuation of the school. At the suggestion of

Father John Keefe, diocesan di路 rector of education, representatives of two other parishes were included in the meeting, from which the poll resulted.

Father Keefe called the pro路 cedure "a complete departure" from the past, when closings used to be announced from the pulpit or the bishop's office.

Now, parishioners are being asked to consider and "make a practical judgment about the ability of the schools to keep open and as to where the funding will be found," he declared.

At the same time, he said, a newly formed task force within the diocese would be studying the need for consolidations and

Declares Christians' Cannot Countenance Atomic War ByJBarbara Ward In these columns in recent weeks, 'it has been argued that a chief-though, not the only-cause 'of racial bitterness and division ,lies in the hatred and suspicion of groups of different race competing for inadequate supplies of decent housing, good school If Christians will accept, the places and well-paying jobs.

cial. Catholic and Protestant in Northern Ireland, the green and orange, divided colors.which are assuredly not "racial," have shown the same b i t,t e r resent- , ment ,'of repres- <' sion on the one :, hand and the same violent fear of encroachment on the other.

From this, it follows that althougQ there are a t hrou sa n d things' to be , done, if people of differenht race are to live in peace together, some of 'the c~it­ ical polici~s are concerned wIth a larger provision of good inexpensive housing, a higher investment in excellent teaching, the availability. of mere unskilled jobs, more training for an adequate supply of skilled ones.

And, ,inevitably much of this kind of expenditure has to be in the public domain. , Little Prospect In the United States, there is little prospect of higher public spending. Although it spends relatively less of its resources on public' needs than does' Western Europe, the long tradition of America' is to cope more adequately with its private than with its public needs. Moreover, in the short term, there is every likelihood that as a result of the new tax bill, federal revenues will fall by $8 billions as the Seventies begin.

Amerka's social needs, with 1 population racing on toward the 300 million mark and a backlog of 10,0 new cities urgentlyreqUired;. are not likely to grow less. But the resources to satisfy them 'seem certain to shrink. In' that case, competition for jobs, skills 'and houses may well make even more bitter the confrontation between black and white.

So we come.back.tothe question: Can the Christian citizen do something to fend:. off this creeplrig' disaster? The first possibility cQsts nothing but time.

It is' that Christians should know the facts. It is altogether likely that not many of us 'could answer some of the basic questionsabout the condition of impoverished minorities either in the n'ation at large or in our own nearest urban community.

What is' the average age of the housing in the rundown city quarters? What is the present stock ~f. housing '. available to the growing urban population?

How do the local city schools, in staff and faciHties, compare wit~ the suburbs?/ How do family inc'omes vary/.between black and white? What jobs are not available becau4e of prejudice?

What'is the unemployment 'rate among whites, 'blacks and, particularly, adol~scents?

Empty, Chatter 'These are simply a few questions which, unanswered, expose much' of our talk about racial differences, inferiorities, risks and fears as empty, self-indulgent ,imd self-righteous chatter.

Suggests Sp'eed Limit on Change

MIAMI SHORES (NC)-Teachers were urged to become. "cocreators" with God through involvement in the world's activities, during the Fall meeting of the archdiocese of Miami Catholic Teachers Guild.

Father. David Russell, executive director of the archdiocesan Human Relations Board, told the teachers the reason for involvement in such iss'ues as race relations, community tensions and community development goes back to the time of creation.

"As the Creator, God molded, shaped, formed a world and then threw it out to us and said 'there it is.' It has the stamp of His creative hanq. Unless you get involved with your world,

unless you permit your. children to get inVOlved, you are denying them the opportunity to come to grips with its Maker," Father Russell said.

"If God became so totally involved with the world that He became man," the priest continued, "can anyone of us afford to be indifferent?"

Father .Russel1 said the first obligation of a teacher is to make a child "totally human," adding that "none of us can take' God seriously unless we first have taken man seriously-seriously enough to love, to educate, and to try to uplift, because God has become man in Jesus Christ."

Orders Cathol ic Schools Suspend Sex Education NEWARK (NC) - Archbishop Thomas A. Boland ordered sex education classes suspended in schools of the Newark archdiocese, except for teacher-training programs.

The affected schools were those taking part in an experimental program inaugurated two years ago. The program was to ~mbrace 20 schools but only a few actually implemented it.

The suspension is expected to remain in force at least until after the issuance of a joint pastoral on sex education which the bishops of the state are expected to publish in November.

Confusion about the status of the sex education program _ in the archdiocese is believed to be one reason for the suspension order. A series of erroneous reports about the program appeared in the daily press at the time when sex education classes in public schools had come under heavy criticism.

One report, indicated that the archdiocese had embarked on a far-ranging program rather than the tentative experiment which had not yet been evaluated. Another said the archdiocese had approved the viewing of a special series to be beamed into classrooms over an educational television network. ' In fact, however, school officials instructed teachers not to make use of the series.

Planning for a sex education program here had been under the direction of a special committee of educators, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and family life officials. Simliar committees have been formed throughout the state and meet jointly as the New Jersey Inter-Diocesan Coordinating Committee on Education in Human Sexuality.

The committee is preparing guidelines for a program aimed at both parents and educators.

5,000 At Mass WASHINGTON (NC)-An estimated 5,000 persons converged on the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception here for a Mass celebrating the feast of the motherhood of the Blessed Virgin, patronal feast of the Washington archdiocese.

Third Assembly of European- Priests Radical Demands on Use of Church Power Continued from Page One The assembly was a curious mixture of pietY' and provocativeness. The priests sent Pope Paul a respectful letter asking for an audience and got a respectful and courteous refusal.

They said they understood.

Before disbanding, they walked the few blocks from their meeting hall to St. Peter's Basilica, where they prayed and sang hymns at the. spot where St. Peter isbui'ied.

Yet they voted through a series of proposals that would have knocked the curl out of Martin Luther's hair, at least the young Luther. The college of cardinals, of course, is to be abolished. The Curia is to be reduced to an organ of information and coordination along the lines of the UN. Varied Proposals Decisions in the Church are to be taken by the Synod of Bishops, which includes nonChristians and women. The synod elects the Pope, who is given a fixed term of office. The Pope has no executive instrument for making his authority felt. He becomes, to use the terms that was excised from a draft before the assembly, a "chairman."

So much uneasiness was felt within the assembly at the sort of ,theology incorporated in the assembly's declarations, that on the final day a preface was adopted describing the declarations as "only moments of a reflection that starts from life."

Many observers felt uneasy at their political orientation. The final declaration on "The Church in the World and the Priest in the Church" calls 'upon, the Church to "condemn evel,'y system and method that is fascist, imperialist and racist," yet it' laments that the Church - "continues to preach anti-communism."

In The Life and Death of Mahatma Gandhi (Dutton 201 Park Ave., S., New York, N.Y. 10003; $12.95), Robert payne has produced a whopping biography of almost 700 pages. If it is not the most penetrating and satisfactory interpretation Gandhi ever produced, it is an impressive accumulation and arrangement of the facts of his career, and, though extended, always readable. .

Gandhi was born of Hmdu parents, and in his bo~hood :was treated rather like a prmce, smce his father was the chief' minister to the ruler of the princely state of Kathiawar.

Qualifies as Lawyer But the privileged youth gave some sign of what _was to come when, at the age of 12, he questioned the propriety of the' Indian caste system. He was married when only 13 years old.

The family's fortunes fell off. with the death of the tather shortly thereafter. Gandhi determined to go to England to qualify as a lawyer, a decision which brought upon him a kind of excommunication, from his caste.

He was not yet 20 years old at the time.

In London, he fared rather miserably, except for his success in passing the bar and the matriculation examination" It was at this time that he be-' came acquainted with the New Testament, which left its mark on him, although he clung to the Hindu religion.

Leader of Resistance He returned to India, where he' failed to develop a law practice, and was humiliatingly treated by a local British agent.

In 1893 he went to South Africa on a legal matter and stayed there for the next 20 years.

South Africa had a large .Indian colony in that country, and its members were discriminated' against.

As the screws were tightened on. the Indians, Gandhi emerged as a leader of resistance. At first, the means he used were those of legal maneuver. But then he began to work out the principles of passive resistance, which he was to devel.op and refine down to the time of his death.

He accomplished something for the Indians in South 'Africa, but he did not win their unanimous approval.

Renewed Repression' As later in India, ther~ were those who strongly dissented from his view that volience was to be avoided, and he was sometimes jlngrily accused of compromise jJnd sell-out.

It was at this time that he first 'resorted to fasting as a weapon against seemingly intransigent authority, and first . established a rural, religious

Blacks Demand Voice in Choice Of President

Start Studying For Diaconate

SOUTH ORANGE (NC)A group of 30 blacks has demanded that one of three student members of a committee being formed to suggest candidates for the presidency of Seton Hall University be black.

They· made the demand at a meeting of the Student Senate.

Four of them spoke to the student group and then the entire group left, throwing into the air papers on which their demand was outlined.

Seton Hall's board of trustees is organizing a special search committee to suggest candidates to succeed Bishop John J. Dougherty of Newark, who resigned the university presidency in June. The committee is to be composed of board members, students, faculty members and administrators of the archdiocesan institution.

After the black students presented their demand, the Student Senate recessed to consider it, then asked for a conference with the blacks.

Although a final decision was not announced, senate leaders were not sympathetic to the idea, feeling that there should be no outright assignment of one of the three committee positions to any single segment of the student body.

Subsequently, a one-page "newspaper" was circulated on the campus in 'support of the black demand, calling upon the university to suspend classes on Moratorium Day and charging that drugs are being used by the "establishment to keep student revolutionary leaders in jail.

Meanwhile, it was learned that a committee organ~zed last Spring to explore the possibility of a tri-partite campus government has agreed on a tentative proposal for a University Senate.

The proposal calls for the senate to be made up of 32 faculty members, 16 students and 16 administrators, and possibly two members of the alumni.

The senate would have the power to decide educational and operational policies, including degree requirements, curriculum, admissions criteria and academic freedom.

Drafted by a committee of administrators, faculty and students, the plan would have the president of the university as presiding officer with veto power but no vote. A veto could be over-ridden by a two-thirds vote of the proposed senate, but major policy decisions would also have to have the aproval of the board of trustees.

Asks ,p"riests List Choice on Bishops CHICAGO (NC)-John Cardinal Cody has sent a letter to all priests of the Chicago archdiocese, requesting them to submit names of candidates they consider suitable to hold the office of bishop.

The letter asked each priest to list three names. The letter indicated that the' cardinal will examine the names submitted and later will make proposals of candidates at meetings of all bishops in the Church province of Chicago. The names of candidates will be submitted to the Pope when appointments are made.

Tile action was taken, Cardinal Cody explained, in keeping with the spirit of Vatican Council II, which recommended seeking advice from priests on matters pertaining to a diocese.

Thurs., Oct. 23, 1969

WASHINGTON (NC)-Twenty laymen of the Washington archdiocese have started studies here leading to ordination as permanent deacons in the Church.

The two-ye,ar' course conducted by the Josephite Fathers at St. Joseph Seminary here, is one of four programs currently being conducted in this country.

Other training centers are located in St. John's University, Col1egeville, Minn.; Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit and SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, Orchard Lake, Mich.

The archdiocesan candidates for the diaconate, range in age from 33 to 64, have widely divergent backgrounds, education and employment. While keeping their present jobs, permanent deacons will devote several hours each week to various works currently being done exclusively by priests.

The permanent deacon program will prepare candidates for part-time service both in independent apostolates and in programs with priests and bishop.

Whenever possible, candidates will be trained for work in their 'own parishes, since they already know that community and its needs.

Some deacons will perform the sacramental functions of baptizing, distributing the Eucharist and preaching. Others will assist in parish work, such as religious education, parish societies or hfJp for the poor of the parish.

Charles J. Tobin, Jr., who recently was elected to head ,the organization during its annual convention in Houston, Texas, said "the real challenge of the job is that we can't be satisfied.

We must find out how, we can best do a better job." .One of the "most important matters" the national charitable organization will deal with during the coming year, Tobin said, will .be participation in, and debate of, President Nixon's proposals for welfare reform.

Tobin and other Catholic Charities officials will, appear at forthcoming congressional hearings on the sweeping welfare plan.

Welfare Debate Tobin said his organization has a committee that has been studying various methods for maintaining incomes of persons in need. Some of Nixon's proposals, he said, reflect the findings of these studies.

TOLEDO (NC)-Vicente Cardinal Enrique y Tarancon of Toledo has assumed his constitutional post in Spain's top level Council of State, an advisory body for Chief of State Gen. Francisco Franco.

In joining the Council of State as a right bestowed on all archbishops of Toledo, the cardinal, regarded as a pro-renewal leader in the Church, said that although he is doing so in accordance with constitutional procedure, "the word of a bishop can open up new approaches and provide clearer views within the council," not only "on Church matters but on many other problems."

Linemen Star at Springfield Coach Attributes Team. Improvement to Defense

By Luke Sims '

Attleboro Intra-City Foes In No.1 Billing Saturday

The improved play of two defensive stalwarts can be traced to the improvement of Springfield College on the

gridiron. Bennie Barboza of Middleboro and Ed Winslow of Falmouth have been dubbed by Coach Ted Dunn as providing the spark that fused a turnabout in the Indians' won-lost record.

Since dropping 40-21 and 2822 decisions to Cortland State and Amherst in its opening two games, Springfield has evened its record with successive vicin a three-way battIe for Bristol ing only three games in as many tories over Albright (26-7) and County League honors that un- seasons.

the Springfield track team where he competes in field events.

Bernie is the young~st of four Barboza children. His two sisters Elvira (Williams) and Joan (Silvia) are married and are licensed nurses. His brother Manuel is a staff sergeant in the United States Air Force.

Barboza, who entered Springfield on scholarship, was offered several athletic and academic scholarships from colleges across the country. The Kennedy Memorial arid Frank A. Roukas Scholarships are among his prize po~sessions.

In addition to enjoying all sports, Barboza is a dance fan and collects professional sports literature as a hobby.

When the graduation bells begin to chime in 1970 Bernie hopes to enter the teacher-coaching profession.

Winslow is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Winslow, 394 Davisville Road and has won a starting tackle berth in his first full varsity season. o.!11y a sophomore, Winslow was a standout on the Indian ffeshman team a year ago.

Coach Dunn has great plans for the physical education major.

"What Ed lacks in speed and strength, he more than makes up

for in desire," praises the coach.

"He's a man with all the tools but needs the necessary experience to use them."

A former star at Falmouth High, Ed plans to devote all his athletic time to the grid scene which is especially pleasing t3 Dunn.

"Ed should be a great one in the not too distant future if he sticks with the game," boasts the Indian mentor. )
