Dwyer of Portland in Oregon asserted here. "We are over-reacting to everything," he told a district convention of Serra Clubs International, "and it threatens past ,and there is a possibility to destroy the society in that it will be in the future," he said, "but is this a reason to which we live." re-act and overthrow all author-

Bishopsl Synod Sets Future Co-operation VATICAN CITY (NC)-Expressing very "positive" and "satisfying" reactions, the bishops of the synod prepared to return home happy with the practical applications of collegiality they and the Pope had reached during the sessions. Pope Paul VI said he gave "Maximum consideration" to the 13 resolutions "with great pleasure even more than as a clear. duty." The Pope accepted-even before the fi- concerning their results and im- and with a sense of our responsibility as supreme pastor of the plementation. nal votes were in-that: "We will examine them," the holy Church of God.

2. Development and extension of the functions and role of the now passive permanent secretariat of the synod.

3. Consideration of the possibility of the bishops proposing subjects to be discussed at future synods.

The Pope also reiterated the nature of this synod as "extraordinary" but explained that it was so "because it was intended for the solution of preliminary questions with regards to the future development of church government". ' Many of the votes given during the synod were conditional -"yes, if . . ." votes. It will therefore be up to the Pope to come to some final conclusion

The same over-reaction which ity?" is affecting today's secular society affects the contemporary Church, he said. He agreed there were some things lacking "in the Church of yesterday" and that it was a "good thing to introduce into the Church and the lives of its people new methods."

can we express our judgement in their regard, a judgement that will be promptly communicated to you."

He then announced his accept· ance of the three resolutions indicating "to you what confidence' 'we have in this instituti<:m (synod)."

The bishops in the synod accepted the resolutions by the following vote: "Yes"-40 "Yes with qualifications"-13 Personal answers-87 "No"-o The resolutions follow: 1. On the basis of the principle of subsidiarity, it is desired that it be specified more clearly which are the competencies of the bishops either singly or as members of bishops' conferences.

2. Keeping intact the freedom of the supreme pontiff to exercise his own universal power, the Eastern-rite synods and the bishops' conferences will manifest their own concern regarding the more serious problems of the entire Church by being disposed to offer their collaborations' to the Holy Father, particularly in the preparation of documents concerning unity of faith and of discipline; on their part the Eastern-rite synods and the bishops' conferenc~s, before publishing their own statements will explore the opinion of the Pope.

3. Means should be studied for fostering a more intimate collaboration between the Roman congregations on the one hand and the Eastern-rite synods and bishops' conferences on the other.

4. The exchange of communications between the same con· gregations and the Eastern-rite synods and the bishops' conferences should be improved: 5. Regarding more particular questions, dealing with the internal life of a diocese or an ecclesiastical region, the local bishop or, the regional bishops will be heard before any decision will be taken.

6. The decrees of the Holy See, before being published, should be communicated to the ,bishops, at least substantially, and also the motives will be explained which suggested such a publication.

7. The Holy See will take care of publishing in various languages both the documents of the Holy See and the documents of major importance issued by Eastern-rite synods and bishops' conferences.

This was the consensus of liturgical experts attending sessioDs 'of a national meeting of 'liturgical <;orrimissions hel·e.

Liturgists discussed the different options available in every aspect of the sacraments from prayers to music to processionals during the four-day meeting.

Father Joseph Champlin, associate director of the secretariat of the Bishops' Committee on ,the 'Liturgy. spoke on the "Revised Rite for Marriage," which has been approved and will become effective in the United States. probably next month when the National Conference of Catholic Bishops approves the English translation.

Father Champlin pointed out that the marriage ceremony is filled with joy and hope, and said: "This is' where a priest who is truly warm and loving can reach his people. for if he, helps make it a joyous and memorable occasion he will never be forgotten," .

The priest explained there are now a variety of readings (28), collects (4). and ring blessings (3). for the rite of marriage. He stressed the importance of the 'celebrant making these options known to the couple. working with them in making the necessary reparations but most of all in respecting the choices of the couple.

Father Bauman urged that funeral rites be, tailored t6 each individual, sayi.ng. th~ta ~ervice for a man killed m Vietnam should be different from that for ,an elderly' .woman, or a child killed.in an automobile accident.

Auxiliary Bishop. Walter J. Schoenherr of DetrOIt spoke 'on 'the "The New Rite of Christian Initiation.'.'

"We must keep in mind that ,this is a new rite. rather than a revision of the rite which we are accustomed to." he said.

"The Roman liturgy did not have a service that was strictly proper to the infant baptism. The' new rite is recommended to take place during the regular Sunday parish Mass for here is wherE: the. Christian community is gathered,"

WASHINGTON (NCr..:-There·s one thing that, televi~ion executives. ,the' .Federal Communica, tion's Commission and religious broadcasters agree on - they can't do a good' job withOut knowing what the public thinks of them. ' FCC spokesmen repeatedly complain that the public seldom tells that agency what it thinks of the television industry it regulates in the public's name.

Television network executives to a man complain that they get too little comment from the public. Said Arthur Hull Hayes, retired president of the CBS-Radio Network in New York: "Unless we get some communication from viewers we are working in a vacuum," "Unfortunately," said Charles Reilly. excutive director of the National Catholic Office for Radio and Television in New York, "people most often write when they don't like what they see. If they would write at other times, the networks would be able to do a better job.:" Reilly's office has encouraged this kil1d of response-not only to religious programs but all television offerings by serving as a central' clearing house for letter-writers.

Falls. of Colored People 'urged the Taking part were Rev. Joseph country's major religious leaders to reject black ,demands for "reparations" but to give financial support to groups such as the NAACP. Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive director, sent a letter in September to the Catholic cardinals in the United States; the heads of three major national Jewish organizations; leaders of the major Protestant denominations and others in the National Council of Churches.

In his letter, Wilkins did not name James Forman, a militant who has led the demand for "reparations" to be paid Negroes by religious institutions in com· pensation for the years of Negro oppression, He referred only to "reparations," and said that the NAACP's opposition to this was based entirely "on philosophic grounds."

'Share,' 'Delusion' Wilkins said "the knowledge that no amount of 'reparations' conceivably payable by the nation's churches can either com· pensate for the Negro's wrongs or bring him into the just and equal society he seeks" was of at least as much concern.

Wilkins called "the reparations idea" a "snare and a delusion whose inevitable failure would have disastrous consequences."

"A genuine solution," he said, "demands the massive use of public funds. . . ."

He added that this did not mean that the churches were absolved of a "moral obligation."

He said: "To give money to black claimants who are without credentials or competence for their professed aims is to show contempt for black Americans ge!lerally, because it says that, w~ere Negroes are concerned, incompetence and mediocrity are acceptable standards."

Accepts f!roposa I for Reviva ~ Of Holy Name Society Parade NEWARK (NC)-To parade or not to parade?

The question has vexed priests and members of the Holy Name Society in the Newark archdiocese for two years. And just when the controversy appeared to have ended, it popped up again. . .

A report accepted by the Newark Archdiocesan Federation of of Holy Name Societies proposed the parades - there had been seven each year in the archdiocese on Holy Name Sunday in October-be reinstated on an ecumenical and interracial basis.

The suggestion was contained in the final report of the. Research .and Renewal Committee organized by the fe4eration in 1967 to ~pdate the sqciety.

In making' the recommendation, the committee' saidsuspension of the parades had "caused much concern and confusion" among Holy Name men. It said the men have expressed a desire for the. parades; that the purposes of a public demonstration have not been served "by means of concelebrated Masses, local parish demonstrations, stadium rallies and other substitute activities."

A variety of programs was tried a year ago-the first year since 1908 that no parade had been held-but all were poorly' attended.

The move to end the parades had been initiated by priests of ~he archdiocese through the Senate of Priests in 1967. The priests claimed participation in the parades had fallen off and

the expense of staging them was not justified.

Some Holy Name offi(\als, howe~er, resented the move because laymen had not been con· suIted and the 1967 parades were held as scheduled. Subsequently, the senate polled parish Holy Name moderators and asked them to ascertain the views of the men of the parish.

When they reported that there was little sentiment for the parades, the demonstrations were abandoned. Holy Name officials, however, felt that only the views of active Holy Name men ~hould. h.ave been consid:red and If sufficient. numbers Wished to parade they should have had the opp~r~uni!y to do so, eve~ if partiCipatIOn was below prevIOus numbers.

SACRAMENTO (NC) - Cali· fornia's divorce system will be overhauled Jan. 1 when a new law, signed by Gov. Ronald Reagan, goes into effect.

The measure eliminates most traditional grounds for divorce and is designed to remove some of the bitterness.

Incurable insanity and. irrec· oncilable differences will be the only grounds for divorce in California starting next year.

Eliminated is the concept. of fault, or the finding of one party guilty of sending the marriage in the rocks. Gone forever are thE~ former grounds of extreme cruelty, adultery, desertion, wil·, ful neglect, habitual drunkenness, or conviction of a felony.

The only holdover ground is insanity.

Nearly one out of every two California married couples gets divorced.

The eve of the bishops' synod in Rome seemed to set the stage for a real fight. Two camps were being fortified: the s'o-called pro-papal conservatives and 'the pro-collegial progressives. , Secret plans were supposed to be under way; "dignified" episcopal demonstrations were to be held; the Curiacontrolled proposals would be proclaimed anathema; the

of as simply one of the bishops.

Yet, as soon as the work was undertaken, a substantial agreement was felt on the Pope's right' to re~ch decisions that bind the whole Church and on the opportuneness and desirabiHty of active participation, of the world's bishops in decision-making. ' There were no two camps meeting each other in battle.

There were men of different persuasions, with different problems, but with one sincere love for the Church. All were willing not to bargain and win but to learn, to seek,' to make more effective the Church of today.

All the problems are not solved but thanks. to the generosity of both men and the Holy. Spirit, there was a crystalization - a contribution of the best from all sides.

There now remains much to 1>e done but by all, the whole and not by self-satisfied polarized groups.. .

The methods, the self-sacrifice, the interest in the other's problems, the faith and reliance on .God, may well, have showed the way not only to a real collegiality but to the manner of solving their own problems be they in shops, parishes or ,homes.

9) Introduction of language workshops as contrasted in the past meeting with a too formalized approach lacking direct contacts.

However, on the negative side, the Canadian Bishop also had , some criticisms: 1) The notion of collegial action is still uncertain in the form the present synod was taken.

2) Despite good intentions, the thinking of this synod is still too juridical and hierarchical, and, in terms of structures and need, must become more responsive to human demands and less juridical.

3) The synod is still an extension of papal primacy; an office of advice and consultation rather than an instrument of collegiality; the bishops participate, by invitation rather than -in their role as bishops and as members of the college of bishops.

4) There is need for better work methods; direct questions get asked but no one seems to have an answer for them.

5) The pretense of secrecy should be abolished because it gives a false impression; all interventions by synodal fathers should be made available to the press immediately and completely and the bishops should be available to answer questions about their statements.

6) Procedural matters must be improved, they are unsatisfactory.

Leo Cardinal Suenens of Malines-Brussels, Belgium, described the past synod in more illustrative terms: "The synod is off the ground. It is like an elevator which has arrived at the third floor but must go to the 10th.

NOTRE DAME (NC). -:- The world is confronted with a race going against time to improve the prospects of the developing countries where "all the seeds of 'violence" are contained. ac· cording to the director general of the Uniaed Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Addeke H. Boerma gave this message to a meeting of students and faculty at the University of Notre Dame during part of his seven·day visit to the United States.

The director of the UN agency saild he was not attempting to be melodramatic. ..But.... he pointed out. "while many wise and well-intentioned people sit calmly deliberating in their elegant council chambers, pressures are building up in the developing countries which could lead tq violence."

Boerma also warned against complacency in rich countries over the world food problem.

"NOW, that the threat of famine' in India has faded from the fron.t .pages of the nefspapers; now that ;vve are surrounded by superabundant wheat crops. dairy surpluses, and the promise -or threat-of more to come; there seems to be a growing feelin the richer countries that the world food problem has been liquidated and that· they no longer trouble themselves about the matter." he said. .

"Nothing could be further from the truth...··Bbermaempha· , sized.

At least half of the people in the developing countries are either hungry or malnourished.

Boerma said. The reason for their hunger or malnutrition, he explained. is quite simply that they are Yery' poor. . r. ,;;,

Christians Must Insist On Rig,ht Use of Reve,nue

Men's College To Go Co~Ed

By Barbara Ward

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - The new president of La Salle College, in his inaugural address, pledged the institution will move beyond the "timid provision of an occasional workshop or lecture for alumni or neighbors to a large involvement," And the first move in this direction, Brother Daniel Burke, F.S.C., 25th head of the 107year-old college conducted by the Christian Brothers, announced will come with the 1970-71 school year-La Salle is going cooed.

He said applications for admission will be accepted from commuting, resident and transfer women students. The decision to accept women students, Brother Burke said, was approved by the college board of trustees. , Brother Burke, 42, a native of Pittsburgh, said La Salle's chal'lenge "is not simply to share so. cial or political life" but also an academic life "that extends beyond the classroom," He pledgecf the college also will become more involved with black students.

Let us continue the search for the revenue needed to break some of the deadlocks of poverty, poor eduaction and miserable housing which condemn racial minorities in the United States to sub-American standards and also create a frightening gulf into which poorer white citizens onomic terms, to reach an agreement with the Russians on fear to fall back. This lack checking a future upward spiral and this fear are at the root of A.B.Ms and M.l.R.Vs and of some of the deepest racial tensions in contemporary society.

Cure them and the chance of overcoming hostility and potential violence is at least very much improved.

One of the potential areas· of new revenue lies in restraining the frantic levels of expenditure ~pon arms. But here ere are considerable confusions on which citizens have the right to demand some clarification.

If the war in Vietnam came to an end in the next year, would there be a "peace dividend"a sum of public money available for non-military programs?

In the last few months, Dr. Daniel Moynihan, the President's adviser on Urban Affairs, has said that any saving would be likely to be absorbed by the rising cost of other programs.'

Then Professor Arthur Burns, the President's Economic Adviser, said that, on the contrary, there would be perhaps $8 billions for new programs. " Just Dreams Then the President himself said that "dreams of unlimited billions" relased by the end of . the war were just dreams. Existing claims would gobble up the "dividend."

This is a pretty confusing start.

But there are a number of reasons for believing that, given present circumstances, the President could be close to the truth.

These reasons are, first of all, that ending the Vietnam War is only part of the problem.

It is equally important, in ec-

whatever other horrific weapon systems technologists on each side can conjure up in order further to increase "overkill" in the next decade.

Negotiations are still indefinite. Therefore, with or with~ out Vietnam, military costs may go senselessly up.

Leaders In New England Hold Mee.ting PLmOUTH (NC)-A

cair-

. fora'''new .second generation ecumenical structure which would provide a forum for ,discussion of doctrinal differences" was made here during a "summit meeting" of 85 high-ranking leaders of Christian churches in New England.

Father John F. Burke, ecumenical commission chairman of the Catholic diocese ,of Worcester and chairman of the planning committee of the conference, said it was "specifically designed to be exploratory, rather than decision-making in character," "It was intended to bring together the New England church leadership so that they could, first of all, get to know each other, and secondly so that they could exchange ideas and information regarding possible areas ,9f future cooperation," he explained.

One development of the meeting was the proposal of Rev. Dr. Nathanael M. Guptill, conference minister of the Connecticut.

Conference of the United Church of Christ, for the creation of a new ecumenical structure in New England which would allow discussion of doctrinal differences and serve "as a power base for Christian service and witness to the world on matters where there is common agreement."

Steering. Committee This and other suggestions made at the meeting will be dis-' cussed further by a 12:-member steering committee created on the final day of the meeting.

Father Burke said the steering committee had been instructed to convene another consultation "within approximately a year, but with the understanding that before then the views and/or action of the chief executives of the judicatories in New England may be solicited by mail."

Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan of Worcester, a member of the U. S. Catholic Bishops Committee on Ecumenical and ~nterreligious Affairs, who' sent out the invitations to the meeting here, was named chairman of the steering committee. .

This was the first meeting of its kind-bringing together bishops of the several New England denominations, executive secretaries of conferences and presidents of senates. Previous interfaith New England meetings, Father Burke explained, were attended largely by "secondary leaders."

Women Participate In Mass Liturgy NORWALK (NC)- Participation of women in the liturgy during a Mass at the Bridgeport Diocesan Council of Cathoijc Women convention here was described as an "unprecedented first" in this area.

During the Mass, women took roles usually carried out by priests or laymen~leading the entrance procession; master of ceremonies; lectors; reading the prayers of the faithful, and presenting the gifts of bread and wine at the altar.

Canon Law. Society, Committee Reports

CLEVELAND (NC)-Establishmenta of diocesan conciliation and arbitr!ltion boards, plus arbitration courts for appeals by priests, was.. urged by a dueprocess committee of the Canon Law Society of America.

The 34-page report was released immediately after a bishop buttressed its recommendations by citing Vatican Council II as the fountainhead of efforts in the Roman Catholic Church toward a "more respectfUl" ecclesiastical authority.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton of Detroit emphasized that protecting the right of persons through legal matchinery "doesn't weaken the power of the bishop; in fact, ,it' actually increases his effective leadership."

He so quoted his superior, John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops . (NCCB), and Leo Cardinal Suenens of Malines-Brussels, Belgium, exponent of collegial sharing of authority on the theme of "Co-responsibility in the Church."

Needs Structuring The Canon Law Society, with 1,180 members including 25 Sisters and laymen, attracted some 300 delegates to its 31st annual meeting here. / The ad-hoc committee on due process, made up of eight priests and three laymen, headed by Father Robert T. Kennedy of the New York archdiocese, emphasized that due process, while not new in the Church, needs structuring in a time of change.· "The dignity of the human person, the principles of fundamental fairness, and the universally. applicable presumption of

freedom require that no member of the Church arbitrarily be deprived of the exercise of any right or office," the committee stated.

Respect for Authority The committee, while citing the contention "of some that there cannot be in the Church any separation of powers (under) a hierarchical society in which the fullness of government power is vested in the episcopate," emphasized three considerations: 1) Many of the requirements

Pa. Priests Oppose Lenien~y for Youth

of due process. are relevant to all forms of government, "even the most centralized."

2) Canon law already prescribes procedures which "are in the nature of procedural limitation upon the bishop, and yet they have been thought to be consistent with the centraliza· tion of all government authority in the local bishop." .

3) Due process places limitations on a bishop's exercise of power, "but, so far from undermining his authority, it does much to win respect for it. . . .

If they are genuine rights, the bishop· loses nothing by being required to respect them."

A society spokesman, Father Henry G. Bowen of Worcester, Mass., nominee for 1969-70 president, said the committee's recommendations will be sent to all bishops before they meet in Nov~mber in Washington, D. C. The bishops, meanwhile, are studying due process, with recommendations expected at the Washington meeting.

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Eight priests opposed leniency for a 15-year-old youth charged with stealing more than $8,000 from Catholic churches.

Father Joseph P. Whearty said the priests appeared at a juvenile court hearing at the request of John Cardinal Krol, who was quoted as saying that "to release the boy because of his youth would be misplaced compassion." [e John -Roberts was arrested as a suspect in burglaries of some 18 churches and rectories and a few private homes. It is estimated that the burglaries netted more than $8;000, 'including $2,300 recovered with Roberts' arrest. ~ Father Whearty, whose church was burglarized six times, said at the court hearing: "There has. been a situation of fear and terror since the middle of August."

In questioning by the police, .

Father Whearty said, the youth stated: "You name the church and I've probably robbed it."

In Latirt America ST. PAUL (NC) - Coadjutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne has announced plans to send two priests of the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocese to establish a mission in Latin America. .

The announcement was made in a letter to clergy, Religious and laity of the archdiocese in connection with' the observance of Mission Sunday (Oct. 19).

"This is in accor:d with the mind of the priests as voted in the presbytery," the archbishop wrote. "It fulfills the desire of the Fathers' of Vatican II who ask that bishops send their own priests as missioneries to proclaim the Gospel, even though they themselves are suffering . from a shortage of clergy."

The ,study was authorizc'd byArchbishop J.A. Plourde of Ottawa, CCC vice president.

Explaining the purpose of the stUdy, Archbishop Plourde said: "Now that the advertising and sale of contraceptives in Canada is no longer prohibited by the Criminal Code, it can be expected that p~blic clinics will be launched in many places - by municipalities, public health services, welfare agencies, and hospitals. The position of Catholic citizens and taxpayers faced with these initiatives will certainly be discussed," Bernard Daly, director of the CCC Family Life Bureau and chairman of the committtee, said the committee will initiate its survey by making a study of all the dioceses "to determine what kinds of clinics might already be developing and to seek other relevant information."

Advocates Laws To Fight, Smut, NEWARK (NC)-A priest supported legislative steps to combat the flow of obscenity in New Jersey, in testimony before the New Jersey Commission to Study Obscenity at a hearing in the Essex County Courthouse here.

Msgr. Paul J. Hayes, head of the Christian Communications Apostolate of the Newark archdiocese, asked for the passage of bills which he said would be effective in anti-obscenity work.

The commission, established by the New Jersey legislature earlier this year, will conclude a series of three public hearings in the southern part of the state later this month.

Msgr. Hayes asked for legislation which would forbid the display or sale of obscene material to those under 18, an area of control which the U. S. Supreme Court has indicated is acceptable. Obscenity would be carefully defined in the legislation which would be similar to laws now in effect in other state's and upheld by the courts.

He also asked for a change in present statutes governing the delivery of printed material to retail outlets by distributors. His proposed change would make it a disorderly persons offense to deliver to a retailer items which he had not specifically requested.

Says Movie Industry Distorts' WASHINGTON (NC) - Paytelevision, which would provide viewers with commercialess first run movies, outstanding sporting events, and other quality entertainment, such as Broadway shows and operas, is pictured as an evil monster by the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO).

More than nine million persons have signed NATO petitions after being told through a campaign on theatre screens that Pay-TV will mean no more free TV. This message, according to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Rosel T. Hyde, "is a lie," The movie industry protest, Hyde told NC News Service, "reflects little credit on the character of the industry that they would resort to such methods," Commissioner' Kenneth Cox of FCC calls the movie industry fight against Pay-TV "misleading," He said FCC regulations will

Father Clifford said the goal of the hearings is to involve as many of the dioce'se's 1.5 million Catholics as possible' in seeking . to allocate the 3,000 openings in the diocese's 10 high schools equitably.

famous for QUALITY and SERVICE'!

CLEVELAND (NC) - Rising dissatisfaction with practices ranging' from the Holy See's closed-door handling of canon law reform to lack of local level co-responsibility has been cited by the Canon Law Society of America at its 31st annilal meeting.

Some 320 canonists representing the society's 1,200 members endorsed a resolution offering to help the National Conference of Catholic Bishops work out "a true collegium at the local Church lev\O!l," Collegiality, a concept approved by the Second .Vatican Council, represents a sharing of authority and a broadening of decision-making powers in the Church. The Canonists feel that collegiality has yet' to be made fully effective at all levels in the Church despite the creation of such mechanisms as senates of priests.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Oct. 30, 1969

Criticizes Bishopsl Spokesman For INegativel School· Stance WASHINGTON (NC) --' The U. S. Bishops' chief spokesman on parochial schools was called "out of touch with (I (I (I new developments in Catholic education," and criticized for a "negative posture" on Catholic schools, at the annual school superintendents' meeting sponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Catholic Conference (USCC).

The criticism of Msgr. Ja1'l1es C. Donohue, director of the USCC Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, was made by Francis Scholtz, a layman who is coordinator of education in the diocese of Sioux Falls, S. D. Scholtz requested the podium, saying he considered it his duty to register a protest against Msgr. Donohue's views in the name of the Sioux Falls diocesan office of education.

The bulk of Scholtz's criticism was aimed at a recent article in Look magazine entitled "Are the Catholic Schools Dying?" The article, by Look editor Jack Star, was based on an interview with Msgr. Donohue.

The article quoted Msgr. Donohue as saying the Church's educational apostolate has been "too child-oriented" with a di$proportionate amount of parish and diocesan funds being pumped into Catholic elementary and secondary schools. It said he advocated that more concentration be given to adult education and pre-school programs and on serving the· poor through innercity schools.

"Unle~s we change, we'll wither away, we'll die," Msgr. Donohue said. "We're losing the kids anyway, and' the, teachers too.

We might as well experiment.:'J ~ ,: Innovative Programs Scholtz said the Catholic laity are looking for leadership from the clergy on' the subject of Catholic schools and added: "No layman wants to take over in any capacity a school system that in eyes of the director of elementary and secondary education is quite likely a lost cause."

"We feel that the director is five years behind the times, at least as far as our 'diocese is concerned," Scholtz said. He said the Look article and other news media presentation of Msgr.

Donohue views "contained many ideas that we could certainly

"The truth is we have adopted many innovative programs in our schools," he continued. "In South Dakota we are selling the idea that the school is a resource center for the entire community -for adults and kids in and out of schools.

Scor~s, Forced WASHINGTON (NC) - The "comp'ulsory nature" of the' requirement for work registration of mothers in the Nixon Administration's proposed welfare reform has come' under strong criticism in testimony delivered before the House' Ways and Means Committee. " , Msgr. Edward D. Head, vice president of the National Conference of Catholic Charities, contended that the legislative proposal is an "unconscionable" depreviation of a po,or mother's freedom to consider her maternal role 'as a primary responsibility.

Msgr. Head also questioned the low level of family assistance proposed in a House bill, point-

Work Plan ing out that it is less than half of the level defined as constituting poverty for a family of four.

The Catholic Charities official commen,ded the bill's recognition of the "fruitful partnership" that has existed .between public and private health and welfare organizations and emphasized the value of the continuing cooperation between these groups in .providing services to beneficiaries of the' family assistance programs.

We shudder, when we' see them on TV, the families in India who have never lived indoors.

They live in the streets, painfully, sleep huddled together on matting on the sidewalks. The pennies they earn buy scraps of food and rags....

In Calcutta alone they number 100,000. They are not drunkards or tramps, these families.

"We'll provide the supervision, our men will do the work free,of·charge, and the family will own it outright once they prove they can take care of it themselves. We'll' start the work immediately. Can you' imagine the happiness a 'home of their own' will bring?" ... Here's your chance to thank God for your family, your home, your warm bed.

ROME (NC)-Bishop Leo Arkfeld, S.V.D., president of the Bishops' Conference of Papua, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, said here that he finds "very little similarity between the sentiments being expressed in the synod and those being reported by the press."

Born in Panama, Iowa, the bishop heads the Wewak diocese in New Guinea and is a member of the Synod of Bishops.

"Judging from my impressions gathered over the past week," he said, "I would say that the synod is running very smoothly and is expressing great deference to the Holy Father. I find a most cordial spirit existing between the bishops and the Holy Father and also among the bishops themselves. It seems to me there is a great desire on the part of all to improve and to bring into full harmony the relations that bishops' conferences have with one another and with the Pope."

Impression "But the impressions conveyed by the press," he continued, "would make one believe that there is a tremendous clash between the Holy Father and some of the bishops, and that the synod itself is divided into two camps of conservatives and liberals. This is not at all my im~ pression after attending all the sessions and hearing all the speeches." ' Speaking of the newspaper reports on the synod that he has seen, the bishop said they give him "the general impression that truth is very secondary. The main purpose seems to be to print sensational material that the readers are supposed to be looking for.'" Bishop Arkfeld wondered whether this judgment by journalists about their reading public was correct.

Why Not? Some men see things as they are and ask. "Why?" I dream things that never were and ask, 'Why not?"

Energetic St-. Michael's Curate Finds Way To Bridge Many Gaps' With GAP

Danforth also said the instructors for such courses, though paid by some private agency, must be approved by the college or university if credit were to be given for the courses.

By Msgr. George G. Higgins Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C. During a recent visit to' Atlantic City, N.J., as" I stretched my legs on the boardwalk be~ween sessions of the AFL-CIO' convention, I got to reminiscing about all of the labor history that has been made at that famous seaside resort during the past have nothing to learn from 30-odd years. I think It they the experience of the labor would be accurate to say movement, for example, in that that, during that period of particular period.

.I~

time, no other city has hosted as many important labor pow-wows.

I attended many of them during the '40s and '50s, but unfortunately I m iss e d the most dramatic one of all the famous 1935 convention of the old AFL - CIO at which John i..

Lewis, having exchanged physical as well as rhetorical blows with the late William Hutcheson of the Carpenters, in the ballroom of the old Chelsea Hotel (which has since been tom down, I believe), broke with the Federation and, in due time, ~et up what later came to be known an the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

An authoritative history of this event and of the entire 19291941 period in the annals of the Americoi1 labor movement 'has been written by Professor Irving Bernstein of the University of California' at Los Angeles, under the title, "Turbulent Years History of the American Worker 1933-1941."

Scheduled for publication in November, I would say, sight unseen: that Bernstein's book is required reading for th(~ under-30 militants of this generation who seem to know very little and to care even less, about: anything that might have happened in the field of social reform In. this country prior' to the end of World War II. .

In saying this, I realize, of course, that the young people of today are sick and tired of being lectured to about the glories and/or the struggles cof the past --even the very recent past.

It's for this reason, I suppose, that Joseph A. Beirne" president of the Communications Workers of America-who will never see 50 again but is still extremely young at heart-goes out of his way in his new book, "Challenge to Labor: New Roles for Amer'can Trade Unions," to disasso'c' te himself from the orators of hi .generation, whether· they be poli icians or labor leaders, "who hark back to the abuses, the' deprivations, the outrages of" 30 years ago as though their eradication were reason enough to enlist the grateful support of today's voters and workers.

"It isn't," Mr. Beirne continues.

"Those old battles," ·he says, "are a glorious page in history and we young 'old' codgers who had a part in them have .every right to be proud of what we did.

But the y'oung generation has an equal right to ask, without cynicism, 'What have you done for: us lately?'"

Stupidity, Com:eit Mr. Beirne's point is well taken. Nevertheless I can't help but feel sorry for those under-30 "radicals" of the present genera·tion who don't give a tinker's damn about the soCial history of the '30s and the '40s and think

That's not cynicism; it's 'sheer stupidity, mixed with a generous dose of downright conceit.

To be sure, Mr. Beirne is correct when, he says, in deference to today's young militants, that it's the future, that matters, not the past.

He is also correct, however, when he. goes on to say that even "the most dedicated rebel can learn from the record of past' rebellions" and that "a modest appreciation of former struggles will reinforce the fainthearted, · for the odds were far longer and the perils far grimmer in the dim past."

Lewis' Contribution The '30s and the '40s really don't belong to the "dim past," of course, but, in any event, one of the lessons t6 be learned from reviewing the history of organized labor during that period is that, whatever the situation may be at the present time, being over 30 in those days' wasn't necessarily synynomous with being ~'out of it."

Take the case of John. L: Lewis, for ex~mple. Regardless of what one ,may think· of. Mr..

Lewis....:....and~·there are undoubt· edly many things to' be said on the ,debit side of his. ledger.,--he did make an enormously important contribution to the cause of social justice in the United States. To pretend otherwise would be simply ludicrous.

And yet Mr.' Lewis had reached the ·ripe old age of 58 by the' time he established the CIO, and was still going strong for many years thereafter.

Faced Longer Odds I can't claim to have known · Mr. Lewis very well, but did know many of those associated with him in the original CIO and many of his erstwhile opponents in the old AF of L. 'Their average at the time I am referring to must have been well over 40.

I am thinking of men like Philip. Murray (who succeeded Lewis as president of the CIO), Clinton Golden, Van Bittner, Alan HaYwood, John Brophy, Sidney Hillman, and many .other early CIO figures too numerous to mention:' They were great men in my book. So were many .of their 'contemporaries in the. old AF of L. To paraphrase Mr. Beirne, a modest appreciation of their contribution to the' cause of social justice will, hopefully, reinforce the' fainthearted, for the" odds. which they faced were longer and the perils much grimmer than' those with which most of the white '(as opposed to black or Spanish-speaking) militants of , this more affluent generation are, confronted with.

Worth, Reading I thought of all these men very fondly as I strolled up and down the boardwalk in Atlantic City a few weeks ago, for it was there that I first had the privilege of meeting many of them.

If the walls of the now slightly seedy hotels along the famous promenade could freely talk, they would tell a fascinating

Housing fo~ 'Eld~rly~ " Gets Federal Funds SPOKANE (NC) Federal funding has been approved for an apartment complex for low-and middle-income elderly sponsored by the Spokane diocesan Catholic Charities.

Construction of the $324,000 p~oject will begin in November, with occupancy slat~d for June, 1970. The new uni~ will be known as Fahy Garden Apartments, named for Father John F. Fahy, retired pastor' of St. Joseph's parish, where the complex will be located.

To be eligible for the apartments, at least one member of the household must be 62 or older; annual income cannot exceed $3.200 (adjustments will be made for couples), and total assets cannot exceed $5,000. Although "fair market" rent per unit would normalIy be about $146 for one-bedroom units and $117 for efficiency units, low-income occupants will pay only about 25 per cent of their annual in-, come divided into monthly payments.

Father Frank J. Bach. diocesan Catholic Charities director, said tenants will thus probably pay about an' average of $50 from their own pockets, with federal rent supplement picking up, the balance.

Tourism 'Increases-So Does Welfare Capital's ADC Program Up ~3 Per, Cent WASHINGTON (NC) - Two sets of statistics of interest to the city in widely different ways have become available here at nearly the same time.

The number of visitors coming to the capital may reach 17 million before the year is out, and they are expected to spend some $600 million here.

The number of people on Washington's welfare rolIs has jumped dramatically, and some fear has been expressed that enough money may not be available to meet the situation, which is continuing, Visitors ,coming here in 1969 are expected to total 30 per cent more than In 1968. In fact, this may be a record year, it is said.

Tourism is important business here, bringing much money into the city.

There was great concern last year, 'when the number of tourists slumped decidely, folIowing the disturbances here in the wake of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in Memphis.

The other statistics show that nearly five per cent of the city's population now receive some sort of public assistance.

Directs Movement For Better World

ALBANY (NC)-Bishop Edwin P. Broderick of Albany has approved a plan permitting Catholics to fulfill their Sunday Mass , on Saturday and their obligation to attend' Mass on holy days on the day before the holy day.

In an announcement to pastors, Bishop Broderick cited overcrowding at Sunday and holy day Masses in resort areas of the diocese and a scarcity of priests in rural areas among the reasons for the change.

The bishop said adoption of the plan was voluntary and "whenever feasible, this decision should be made in consultation with the laity."

Among guidelines for the plan, Bishop Broderick stated that Saturday 'Masses in fulfillment of the Sunday Mass obligation could not be offered before 4 P.M. on Saturday and that the Masses would have to be those of the following Sunday or holy day.

CHICAGO (NC) - Fat her Matthew L. Gaskins, O.F.M., of Washington, D. C., has been elected national director of the U. S. promoting group of the Movement for a Better World.

He succeeds Father John M. Comey, S.J., of Philadelphia.

The movement, founded by Father Riccardo Lombardi, S.J., Italian Jesuit, is a worldwide effort to' promote unity in truth and charity among alI men of good will. Encouraged by Pope Pius XII and endorsed by Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, the movement has spread to 22 countries. It was introduced in this country in the early 1960s.

Father Comey served for two years as head of the U. S. unit.

He now will work with the group's continuing education program and help in training new members,

One worker in the field said that, if the case load is going up, maybe the city is just beginning to approach the number of people who need assistance.

Take Second Step Toward EcumenDsm EASTON (NC) Religious leaders here in Maryland and representatives of religious bodies of the Delmarva Peninsula have completed the second in a series of three steps they hope will lead to the establishment of a new ecumenical agency.

(The Delmarva Peninsula is territory within Delaware, Maryland 'and Virginia along the Atlantic seaboard, known as the Eastern Shore).

Spurred by the phasing out of two Councils of Churches in northern Delaware, leaders of nine religious denominations, Protestant and Catholic, have undertaken a series of conferences geared toward establishment of a facility which will serve the needs of the various communities in the 1970s and which, while Christocentric in origin, will reach out in seeking the cooperation of various religious bodies in promoting special projects.

The Priests' Study Group of the Fall River Diocese will meet at 10:30 Tuesday morning, Nov. 4 at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall Kiver. Speaker will be Dr. Emina Louise Benignus, professor of pastoral theology atEpiscopal Theological School, Cambridge. Dr. Benignus has held many academic positions and is active in affairs of the Episcopalian Chun:h and the World Coundl of Churches.

Dynamics of Celebration Principles and activities which make up the c~lebration of Mass from a human point of view will be considered by study group members at the session. Organizers point out that the reformed' Mass rite soon to be introduced "involves so much flexibility and need for personal involvement in the celebration, it is important for the priest-celebrant to be conscious of and sensitive to the needs and dynamics of celebration."

Optional Celibacy Forum on Nov. 11 WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Association for PastoralRenewal will conduct an open forum-on "Optional Celibacy: Never or Now? - here in' the nation's capital on Tuesday, Nov. II. The national organization of priests and laity was founded in St. Louis three years ago to advance the idea that Church discipline should be changed to permit priests to marry if they so choose.

The open forum has been timed to coincide with the semiannual meeting here of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Msgr. Henry Beck of Lyndhurst, N. J., welI known Catholic ecumenist, will argue in favor of optional celibacy. Msgr. Salvatore Adamo, executive editor of the Catholic Star Herald, Camden diocesan paper, will defend the present Church discipline.

Religious 'Heads Talk Vocations At Stonehill· NORTH EASTON (NC)-

The need for candidates for the priesthood, brotherhood

and sisterhood to experience the reality of religious life and work before making a commitment through their vows was one of the major points stressed at a day-long meeting of the heads of religious orders throughout New England. . The meeting, held at the Holy Cross Fathers' seminary on the Stonehill College campus here, under the didrection of Father Richard H. Sullivan, C.S.C., provincial superior of the Holy Cross Fathers and past president of Stonehill College, hrought together 120 superiors, including priests, Brothers and Sisters.

This marked the first time a formal dialogue was held between members of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men and the Conference of Major Superiors of Women.

Needs Father Thomas O. Barrosse, C.S.C., airector of novices at Holy Cross Novitiate, Bennington, Vt., in the keynote address, listed four great needs iIi the formation of candidates for service to the Church: -The need' for direction by dedicated, experienced and trained personnel. , -The need for candidates to adapt to their own personal requirements' the direction that is provided.

-The need for future priests, Brothers and Sisters to be men and women of prayer'. .

-The need for candidates, before they make a commitment through their vows, to experience the reality of the order's life and work as it is lived outside and after the novitiate or formation period.

The superiors sought new ways to confront the increasing secularization in the materialism of the world today by equipping their candidates with an awareness of the spiritual dimensions of their lives. A note of .optimism was struck by a general agreement that young people today seeking admission to orders are generally interested in spiritual values, and are highly motivated to help the underprivileged:

ST. PETERSBURG (NC)-Patience is the top factor of concern in change in the Church today, Archbishop Thomas J. McDonough of Louisville, Ky., said here in Florida.

The archbishop told newsmen that laity and clergy alike must remember that the change now going on in the Church is not to "destroy dogma but to present it in the language of today."

"Change is not the doorway to oblivion that some would make it. Rather, it can be a vestibule to better things. Within 15 to 20 years, changes in the Jiturgy should be completll. Then it will be a brilliant Church, speaking to man in modern' language and involving more of the laity in Church work, the archbishop said. . The archbishop, featured speaker at the first convention of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women here, said the majority of the clergy and laity in this country are accepting the changes willingly. <

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS IN THE DIOCESE

John Quintal of New Bedford

Tailback For Memphis State Frosh All-Scholastic Back at New Bedford Yoke During one game in his senior year;- Detroit Tiger scout Vince Spinnelli made the trip from Boston to see John in action.

This time, Quintal was behind the plate. At the dish, Quintal enjoyed a 2 for 4 performance while, in the field, he was, except for a first inning error, flawless.

In his game evaluation report, Spinnelli was "most impressed with Quintal's reflexes behind the plate and. was equally impressed with his alertness on the base paths."

Several colleges were interested in the highly·touted Arti· san as early as his junior year * * I) but John wasn't ready for college.

Following his graduation, Quintal enrolled at Laurelcrest where he spent the next two years polishing up his marks and stealing the athletic spot· . light. He was an honorable mention selection to a New England All-Prep football team during his final year and enjoyed his biggest day on the gridiron when he scored both touchdowns, one on a 90-yard run, in a 14·6 victory over the Yale Frosh.

Only a freshman at Memphis State, John is undecided about his future, although that future may very well take care of itself.

With three varsity seasons ahead of him, John Quintal has a wideopen road to a future athletics.

Renews Allegiance To Holy Father

NEW HAVEN (NC) - The Knights of Columbus have sent a message to Pope Paul VI expressing sympathy and renewed allegiance in the face of recent challenges to his pastoral leadership.

Supreme Knight John W. McDevitt sent the message on behalf of the officers and directors of the L2 million·member Catholic fraternal society. The message told the Pope it is "with the loving sympathy that Knights of Columbus have noted the pain and heartache to which you are subjected by the disloyalty of many of the sons and daughters of the Church.

"We are particularly disturbed by the unwarranted challenge to your primatial teaching authority identified with the duly chosen vicar of Christ on earth," it added.

John Quintal has come a long way since his high school days at New Bedford Vocational. But the journey

The letter said: "The Wisconsin Assembly has again failed to pass welfare legislation that would enable poor people across the state to live in minimal decency. ' "What can be done?
