. An At/rhor of/he Soul, Sure and Firm-SI. Paul

Fall River, Mass., Thursday, December 20, 1962 © 1962 The Anchor Vol. 6, No. 52

The Christmas Story . Long before that day a decree had been issued by order of Caesar Augustus that a census of the whole world should !be taken. This census was the first to take place while Cyrinus' was in charge of Syria.

Accordingly, the people went, each to the city of his ancestor, to be registered; and so Joseph, too, being a member of the house and family of David, went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to David's to~n in 'Judea, called Bethlehem, in order to be registered.

He was accompanied by his espoused wife Mary, who was with child.

In the course of their stay there, the time came for her- delive~y; and she gave birth to her first-born sono She wrapped hinl in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no accommodation for them in the lodging.

In the same region shepherds were camping in th~ open and keeping watch over their flocks by night. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord stood facing them: and the glory of the Lord shone round about theIn, so that they were struck with terror. uDo not fear," the angel said to them. uListen: I am bringing you good news of great joy which is in store for the whole nation. A Savior, who is the Lord Messias, was born to you today in David's town! ,

,

HAnd this will serve y~u as a token: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and cradled in a manger."

All of a sudden, the angel was joinedl by a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God with the strain: , uGlory to God in the heavens above, and on earth peace to men of good will. H When at last the angels had withdrawn from thenl and -returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another: ULet us go over to "Bethlehem and find out the truth about this thing the Lord h ; made known to us." , So they set off in haste, and sought out Mary - and Joseph and the infant cradled in. a manger. . 'And when they saw them, they made known what had been. told . them about this little child. All those who heard the account given them by the shepherds expressed surprise, while Mary treasured all these incidents and meditated on them in her heart. .

At last the shepherds returned,

glor~

Hying and praising God ,for everything they had heard and which afterward,s was seen to be just as they had been told.

Ten yea,rs ago Father Pennisi graduated from Central Catholic High School here. Today· he and another Franciscan staff a mission post on the lofty EI Salvador plateau.

But in addition to their priestly .work, they have many other duties. Father Pennisi, for example, heads a· medical clinic which' he helped establish three years ago.

Home on a visit, the missionary used much of his time collecting medicines to take' back to El Salvador with him.

one - agrees that the younger generation is not very idealistic.

It is a generally accepted fact that c 0 11 e g e graduates are interested mainly in material comfort and security, that the spirit of adventure ' which marked 'the youth of the Old Fron- '--'"'ccw""'"" tier and the spirit of community service which marked the youth of the New Deal are simply not to be found among the "coddled kids" of the age of the New Frontier.

Reality, however, has a nastr habit of refusing to adjust itself to our' cliches. A recent study of the occupational values of college graduates 'conducted by the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago seems to suggest that the current crop of college seniors are as wildly idealistic a group of young people as have ever inhabited the earth.

Want to Help The most important occupational value to the 33,000 graduates in the survey was "an opportunity to be helpful to others or useful to society" checked 1?Y 70 per cent of the respondents.

The second most important value was "opportunity to be original and creative" and the third was "living and working ,in a world of ideas". Money and IBecurity finished a very poor aixth and seventh.

Nor can we dismiss these an~ers by saying that the young people are not telling the truth.

Even if they are merely saying what they tpink ough~ to. be' ciaid, it is very significant that they ,think that these are .the tilings that ought to be said.

Secondly, .the values checked ere excellent predictors of what jobs th~ graduates !"iIl, in fact, ieek so' they correspond to some value that is' actually held.

Without a Cause, We would. suggest that the problem of contemporary youth is far more subtie than merely the alleged decline of' idealism.

Instead of being rebels without ill cause, contemporary youth are idealists without a cause. Idealism we have plenty of, but obvious things for idealists to do, these we do not have. ,In the 1930's it was easy: the enemies were obvious - hunger, poverty, umemp19yment, injustice, the economic royalists (remember them?); but in the 1960's it is not at all clear what idealists ought to be doing indeed whether there is anything left for them to do.

There is, of course, the PeaCe Corps, the Papal Volunteers, and the various other international assistance or 'lay ,mission groups. But these organizations are still new and from the point of view of the sceptieal and cautious young person their worth has yet to be proven.

Nor is it clear this kind of work is what all young idealists ought to ,be doing. Ought everyone to be going to South America or Asia? Is, there noth':' ,ing left to be done at' home? .

CLEVELAND (NC)-A prom.inent Protestant theology professor and the 372-church Cleveland Area Protestant Church Federation have joined in lauding Pope John for his role in the growing reunion movement among Christians· The professor is Dr. J. Robert Nelson of Oberlin College Graduate School of .Theology and secretary from 1953 to 1957 of . the Christian Unity Committee (Faith and Order) of the World Council of Churches, Geneva.

The occasion was the Fall a9sembly of 600 delegates of the church federation. The feder80 tion adopted a resolution which was sent to the Pope along with a letter saying: "Our prayers have been offered for the success of tho ecumenical council, and now they will also be offered f01' your speedy recovery from yOWi' present illness."

The resolution said that "Ie view of the obvious desire oil Pope John to break down the age-old adversion that has ex.isted between Catholic and Prot.estant, be it resolved that the Cleveland Mea Church Federa.tion send greetings to Pope J ohlll expressing our joy in this new demonstration of good will, assuring him that we share the same desire for a stronger com~ munity between all Christians. and that we join with him in Christ's prayer that we 'all mq ~f)

often very different, from what the family wants.

A priest may well want some of the young people in his care to go to Africa with the Peace Corps of Guatemala with the Papal Volunteers, or to teach catechism 'in a slum parish but he very soon learns that the, parents most decidedly do not want such things.

Great Pa~ox The .middle class parent has planned his, child's life· since before the child was conceived and in these plans there is no room' for the enthusiasms' of youthful' idealism. The children must cross the same bridge their parents crossed. It is not permitted them. to find and cross their own bridges.

Surely . there is no greater paradox in our society. We have trained a generation of young people with at least vaguely idealistic orientations. ~hen we do all in our power to prevent them frpm' being idealists.

In the American middle class Catholic mentality, there is no room for such "fanaticism'" and the young person who shows inclination to the lay mission vocation can usually count on viole~t parental opposition, There are all kinds of excep;.. tions, of course, but the' harsh fact seems to be that many Cat h 0 1 i c' parents who went through their rormative years

Father John A. Klekotka, O.S.A., president of Villaneva University, said that one word best sums up .his impression of (he huge city-"depressing."

The Augustinian priest visited \ the city of more than a million people as part of a trip of five countries made by 59 U. S. edueators. The trip was sponsored !by the Comparative Education &ciety.

"I had been semiofficially advised not to wear priestly cloth. mg and wore a black suit and tie during the Kiev trip," said Father Klekotka.

He stated that when he and (he five other Catholics in the !party tried to discuss God with 'their female guides in Kiev, the guides claimed no knowledge of Gild.

Father Klekotka recalled that after the group had visited a Ibuge museum dedicated to LenLin, a non-Catholic in the party remarked that the Russians had substituted Lenin f.or God. "The museum was the only well-built modern build,ing I saw," the priest stated. "It con. uined an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and reproductions of letters and newspapers concerned with the life of Lenin ... Even where there was occasion for Stalin to be mentioned, or shown in picrtures, there was nothing."

A Polish Catholic church was pointed out to the tourists, he continued, but one of the guides Gaid it was "closed for repairs and had been fo,! many years."

tent.

Father William J. Dunne, S.J.. en official of the National Catholic Educational Association, said advocates of Christmas without Christ "would have our ebildren idolize the falling snow end worship Rudolph the RedDosed Reindeer."

The Jesuit, former president of the University of San Francisco, spoke to the eastern regional meeting of the NCEA here. He is associated secretary in charge of the NCEA's College and University Department.

"When I was a boy," he said, "the public schools epitomized for most people what was best and characteristic of American life. They provided a common meeting place for children of many faiths who accepted one another and these diverse faiths in unity and peace. Now we find those who insist upon uni- I formity by abolishing all faith from the festivities of the schools."

At a certain moment in time, the Father creates a soul and a human being is brought into existence. And the wondrous mystery of this creation is the love of God for what He has made. Such is His love that His Son, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, anointed humanity for all time by taking to Himself a human body and soul and becoming man. .

The recent session of the Vatican mr Council mentioned a spectrum of episcopal opin'i@llIS. lBut how about us 1l!.Ypeople? We too have definite opinions and we are a reall part of the Church. Shound we not mlso be heard?

The birth of Christ, the life of exile on earth, the public life so filled with. the indifference of others, the betrayal, the sUff~ring, the cross" death-all these spell out for mankind in the very Blood of Christ the love of the' Father that He would deliver the Son for the' salvation of all men. And they tell of the love of Christ, that He 'Would shed the last drop of Blood for ,His brotheFs and sisters in need of God's pardon and mercy.

The great mystery of Christmas is the mystery of mercy. It is the mystery of the love of God for those who are so often' unlovable, the mercy of' God to those who de, serve it so little, the gift of God-His Son-to those who are so unmindful of the majesty of such a Gift.

The famous and .beautiful "0 antiphons" (beginning in Vespers of last Monday and lasting through Dec. 23) make hymns out of the titles which Old Testament prophecies give to the Messias who are to, come. Lovely hymns, marvelous· starting points for Advent meditation. Though they belong to the service of Vespers on each of these days / you will find them in. most missals. "The Layman's M:L"Sal" (Helicon Press) translates today's: "0, Key of' David's City, sceptre of the' reabn of L<;rucL Who shall ever lock up again what you ha·ve ~nl'ocked , .."

Thus, the idea of ll:bel was dismis.sed' completely. .Justice· Douglas is' very much cO,Dcerned with therights' of the individual and fears any cmtari:lmerutor denial: o:fi these. lit is good that there are voices speaking, out iu TO-MORROW St. Thomas. defense· of the individual. .

In Christ's coming the means have been given us, the means to attain the goal described, the means which were also an object of hope in the Old Testament.

We should "look like men who are saved,'" because we have these means: the fullness' of God's revelation to mankind and the sacramental signs of life.

MONDAY-Vigil of the lLoi'd?s Birthday~

"This. day you shall know that the' Lord will come and save' us" (Entrance Hymn).

It is into· the' "today", the "this day", of time and earth and human life and concerns that the King of glOry (Offertory hymn) enters. Today we ask that we may share the expectancy and readiness .of our Old Testament fathers" that His presence now and in HiS last coming may find a response from hearts convinced of His unique importance.

BIRTHDAY OF OUR LORD JESl!JS CHRIS'll.. 1'he hu~an mind must cushion: the shatter~ ing message of'Incarnation, must ~ approach it obliquely else it would stun and' blind.

It is true th~t there are no lay commissions as such to advise t he Fathers.

However, that does not mean that the Church's laity is not tC' be heard from nor that lay opinions are not to makethemselves felt in the great debates..

It is supposed that the layman's opinion's (like that of the ordinary clergy) is expressed througl'1 their bishops, We must rem~mber that the- bishops are not pres!!nt in the Council as mere individual scholars canonists, or' theologians (of whom most are not bishops). They are there as the shepherds and the interests' of their flocks is of utmost importance to them.

But the bishops were not sent to. Rome as the elected congressman is sent to Washington. He is not there to bargain, to gain, our affection and< then return to be honored in some way. The bishops: were placecE over us "by the grace of God and the Holy Apostolic ~ee"; they real'ise fuD' well their own responsi.bilities as successors of' the Apostles and our needs. FUrthermore, many bishops, where there were pa:rticular problems, consulted many lay organizations concerning various probIems.

But in, the Council itself, with, the enormous num.ber of suggestions" wishes and opinons presented' by Fathers, of all kinds of backgrounds and from all parts of the world, it is difft. cult to, see how the laity's wishellwere not reflected.

With the permission of the Anglican autb-orities at what is now the principal State church in the country, they gathered crt the north door of the preReformation Benedictine Abbey and entered to pray at the tomb 1u which the great 11th century 8aint's incorrupt body was laid in 1269.

AURORA (NC)-The layman's need for solid spiritual education was stressed here in Illinois by u lay author and editor.

Donald J. Thorman, author of the recently published book "The Emerging Layman," noted that "the layman who seeka the middle road between. activity and contemplation needs roots in solid theological devotion rather than 'devotions'."

Thorman praised the writings of Abbot Columba Marmion, O.S.B., for dealing with "basic, bedrock problems which affect all men of all generations."

Ques'~~ml~ Continued from Page S:lx What is l1!l a,1vent wreath?

An advent wreath is a circle of greens (pine, evergreens, etc.) made much lilre our Christman wreaths. From it protrude four candles: three colored (or decorated in) purple, the fourth ilJ rose or white. Ribbons used to eontain the whole are purple.

The whole is placed on a table or hung from the ceiling 61' ceiling fixture.

The wreath is destined for family or community devotioIlD during the time of Advent. The four candles represent the four Sundays of advent. Each day, the family meets at the wreath and the number of candles are ftt according to the week of Lent (two for the second week of Lent) and D prayer is recited (the Collect of that Sunday, the -0 Antlphonn", etc.) ond !l b.ymn is also sung.

If this be done in the dark, the symbolism is better learned. .Just as the Jews of the Old Testament were "sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death (!.uke, 2:79) GO do we until we gR-aduaIly are caught up in the Light that is Christ.

The white or rose candle reba to Gandete Sunday (3rd).

Predicts Death of Segregation WORCESTER (NC)-"Segregalion is on its deathbed," the Rev. Martin Luther King said at Holy Cross College here.

"The question is howexpensive is the South going. to make the funeral?" the Negro minister, noted for his integration efforts, 'said in B lecture at the Jesuit-conducted college.

"We have come a long way," he continued, but "it is strange that in a nation founded on the principle that all men are crealed equal, a man's color is considered a sign of his character." He said that voter registration ill one of the most important areelS in which the Negro could advance. Although 10 million Negroes now live in the South, only 1.5 million of the 6 million

old enough to vote are registered voters, he added.

Rev. Mr. King criticized churches in general for failin~ to take a stand in· the integration crisis. "The church has

failed Christ miserably in race relations," he said. It is still "the most segregated institution in America and Sunday school the most segregated school in the country."

By Mary Tinley Daly A Christmas tree is a sentimental symbol. Without going back into its roots in history, we accept it annually, at your house and at ours, as a capsulized story of a family, spending Christmasses together.

Today, getting out the wellworn box of Christmas ornaments, we realized t hat, for the first tim e in our lives, we need _, not buy a single ad'ornment for that tree. No matter if it be a floor-to-ceiling, wide-span spruce, there is ample to cover it, and cover it with the' treasures meaningful to those who will enjoy it most.

Just to keep from living entirely in the past and to renew the annual contributions, however, we' will buy four new ornaments, put the 1962 inscription on them so that they may eventually go into the homes of the four grandchildren born this year: Matthew and Brendan, Daly (the twins); Markie Brennan, Eileen and Tony's daughter; and Tim, Gorman, Jr. (Mary and Jim's son, born on Halloween).

Pesky Lights Prior to actual dressing of the tree, of course, comes the pesky untangling and testing of lights, always finding some blanks. Lights, as far as we are concerned, are not a ~entimental symbol. Just a nuisance.

With the hurdle of having enough tree lights going all at, the same time,' we can turn our attention to lining up the real decorations for the" tree, and this is fun!

There are the one or two still remaining b a ubI e s acquired during the bride - and - groom days when there was simply a table tree. Then the others acquired along the way: the little ange~ to put on' top, bought the year our first baby was born, .the little teapot, the small glass bell with its tongue broken; the miniature Santa Claus sent by friends in Germany.

All these -scarcely filled the tree in "the olden days" so we had to fill up the gaps with strings of popcorn and of cranberries.

There remains to this day "the birqie-bird" which our Tommy loved, a blue and silver bird with silky tailfeathers that Tommy, on his last Christmas on earth used to rub against his chee!<. This, of course, is placed high on the tree, well out of harm's way.

for,the Christ Child, our joy and delight Mrs. Margaret Tierney, Mrs. Mary Wilbur, Miss Elizabeth McKenna, Marian Manor, Taunton For some unaccountable reason, we hang onto "Markie's eatery," a blown glass ornament' that used to have an addendum which Markie, at age -15 months, chewed off. "Give her' mashed potatoes," Dr. f Wall recommended, Hlots of mashed potatoes." That year, Markie's Christmas breakfast, 'dinner, supper and bedtime snack consisted of mashed potatoes. Now a registered nurse, Markie knows what to recommend for children who try to eat Christmas tree ornaments.

'Fashionable' Tree Then there is the "war stuff" _ those unimaginative, ugly blue, green and red' plastic balls, only trimmings available during World War II. For some years after the war, we used to ignore these, but not now. They make wonderful "filler" for the bottom part of the tree where small grandchild~en can reach.

The things are certainly practical with their capacity to bounce, roll, be. tossed and pitched with abandon while the upper part of the tree ornaments remain intact.

Somewhat shamefacedly, we bring out the, "gold and blues," reminding ourselves of the year when, going .along with the trend of the d,ay, we decided to ' have a "fashionable" tree nothing but gold and blue would do, to go along with the completely adult Christmas party

of this and that: the old and the new, the beautiful ornaments and the others, some reeking with sentiment, others off the shelves of the 5-and-1<l: So, we prepare to dress the 1962 tree at our house, as you do at yours.

Lauds Solicitor's Ru~ ingUpho!ding Convent Status HARRISBURG ( N C) - A legal expert on Church-State questions hailed as "most encouraging" at decision upholding the tax exempt status of properties, including convents, used L1 connection with parochial schools.

William B'all, general counsel of .the Pennsylvania Catholic Welfare Committee, made the comment here after an appeal for such exemption b;V the Dioeese of Harrisburg was upheld

by Cumberland County authorities in Carlisle, Pa. Bishop George L. Leech of Harrisburg had requested tax exemptions for four convents housing nuns who teach in paroehial schools and for other property, including a new high school. The Rev. William A. Speers, pastor of Mount Olivet Methodist church in Mechanicsburg, protested exemption of the convents.

George Stuart, Cumberland County solicitor, held that aceording to state Supreme Court decisions, school-connected real estate is tax exempt.

In a notice to other officials of the county, he stated: "In the case of schools, colleges and universities, regardless of deDomination, all school property is tax exempt, and this has been held to include buildings used for housing school personnel, presidents and teachers."

On the question of the tax status of convents, Stuart had this to say: "In answer to a specific request on property used to house teachers for SChools, I quote from a recent (state) Supreme Court decision as follows: 'We hold that property used as a residence for teachers in a parochial school is exempt.I'''

land's Midland District, paid Q visit to the Eternal City. At the time, Pope Pius VII had himseU but lately returned to Rome, clter his long eaptivityat Fontaine. b I e a u at the hands of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Now the Eagle was chained (how loosely!) to the rock of E I b a and the diplomats of Europe were dancing under the glittering !=pandeliers. of Vienna.

TABERNACLE

ST. LOUIS (NC)-Joseph Cardinal Ritter has high praise for a four-hour dialogue here in which 75 priests and '15 Protestant ministers took part.

"These meetings have had my blessing from the very beginmng, and I shall do all in my power to further them," the Archbishop of St. Louis told the participants at the conclusion of the meeting, held in Kenrick Seminary.

The priests and ministers diseussed the book "The Council, Reform and Reunion," by Father Hans Kueng, px:ofessor of Catholic theology at the University oi Tuebingen in West Germany.

Three seminary heads took part in the dialogue: Dr. Robert T. Fauth, president of Eden Seminary of the United Church of Christ; Dr. Alfred O. Fuerbringer, president of Concordia Seminary of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, and Father Nicholas E. Persich, C.M., rector of Kenrick Seminary.

Renewal First In commenting on Father J[ueng book, Dr. Elmer J. F. Arndt of Eden Seminary said Chat "Dr. Kueng has done us non-Romans a great service by his insistence on reform." He also said that much of the laneuage calling for reform could apply to Protestants as well all Cathoilcs.

Father Robert F. Coerver, vice IlCCtor of Kenrick' Seminary, said: "The work of positive renewal must come first before any reunion is possible. It is goin8 on now in the Second Vallcan Councll. I think, too, it Is also going on in the Protestant Church. I think: both are renewing themselves in the light of the teachings of the Gospe!."

Cardinal Ritter said that "our priests enjoy these meetJng," and also "profit from them."

He termed it "a fitting climax" to his two months in Rome at th!l Second Vatican Councll "to know that you ministers· have been llCCeived here .so Dicely."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Dec. 20, 1962

I You have heard the story of the llncarnation a thousand times, but have you ever heard it told in the language ,of a veil?

Centuries before the birth of Christ, God gave Moses instructions concerning the tabernacle in the desert. In front of the Holy of Holies, which was the dwelling place of God, there was hung a veil of blue and purple ,and scarlet. This veil separated the sanctuary from the Holy of Holies. Once a year the lIUgh Priest, after sprinkling the veil with blood, was permitted to 'enter beyond it to, the Holy of ilIolies. This veil symbolized the human nature which the Son of God took upon Himself on Christmas Day. As the veil hid the Holy of JHlolies, so the Flesh orUuman Nature of Our Lord housed or tabernacled His Divinity.

When Our Blessed Lord died on the Cross and His Side was pierced with a lance, the great veil of the Temple of Jerusalm in the sanctuary was rent from top to bottom, showing that the barrier b;etween God and the contrite sinner was gone. The opening of the Side of Christ was like the opening of the veil to the rich treasures of Divinity.

Scripture, picking up this theme, says: "Why then, bre~hren, we can enter the san c t u a r y with confidence through the Blood of Christ. He has opened for us a new, a living approach, by way of the 'veil, I mean His mortality."

(Heb. 10:19, 20) The rent veil of the Temple' and the open Side of Our Lord declared that the true way to God had been made, known. His Death, His Blood had opened up the way tID His Presence.

What then Is Christmas? It Is the veiling of Divinity, the enfieshment of the Word of God. Thanks to the rendin&' of the ,veil on Calvary, we now have access to the Holy of Holies, where Christ reigns in glory. OUi' Christmas wish to all 'of our readers is that, as there is no longer a veil between us and the Holy of Holies, so there may, be no veil separating us from eaeh, other. Rather, let there be 'a mutual exchange of sacrifices and prayers for one another. Then 'the veil of Ignorance which hangs , ever so many nationS of' the' world"wnl 'be rent., and the~Liih*' ., the Gospel 'will pierce through.' '.'" ,' '-,-,--,).

Father Hesburgh Declares People Second Best in Modern 'CLlIlture PASADENA (NC) - "People are coming out second best to things" in today's scientific and technological culture, the president of the University of Notre Dame said here.

Father Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., speaking at a' California Institute of Technology dinner 'honoring members of the National Science Board, said the time has come for scientists and, engineers to question "the moral impact of their work on the world of man in w.hich they live."

Contrasting the ideologies of eommunism an d'd,emocracy, Father Hesburgb observed in his address that "our' vision of 'man's nature and destiny, although higher and, better in statement, is often fogged by our actual performance."

"It makes really little practical difference if scientists and engineers in the Soviet realm are forced to dedicate their lives to utterly materialistic ends, and ours are seduced to do likewise by financial support, by prestigious appointments, or: by the wave of our present affluent culture and material preoccupations," he asserted."

Mankind Loser "'In either case, science Is prostituted to something" far

In the current surge of science and technology, "the Russians may be the bad guys, but we are not automatically, the good guys," he said.

I

By Fr. J. L. Thomas, S.J.

The practice you mention, Harr.iet, indicates such obvious lack of common sense and parental responsibility that there should be little need for further comment. Yet the custom of allowing adolescent boys and girls to spend long periods together, alone and unsupervised, whether at beach parties, all-day outings, private small-group gatherings, baby-sitting dates, and.so on, ihas become so widespread that ' it's. high time we ask what ha~ caused this flight from reasOn and responsibility.

Although superficial observers might point to our inere~sing affluence and leisure, together with the facile means of communication and t l' a vel now available. to all, these are clearly related to the char.ge as conditions rather than causes.

Changed social conditions may challenge old patterns of parental conduct and call for new responses, but among responsible parents such responses are al_ ways developed in terms of the obligations they acknowledge and the values they cherish.

Hence if there is extensive change in the way moder'n parents Ilupervise the social life of their children, it must re~lt from new definitions of parental obligations and values.

In this connection I should add at once that under conditions of rapid social ohange such new definitions tend to remain implicit, at least in the beginning, for few parents stop to analyze the assumptions underlying their conduct and consequently are quite unaware that they are no longer guided by traditional definitions. . For eX'ample, the parents you criticize, Harriet, probably feel that they are making a reasonable adjustment to changed social conditions.

They would doubtless argue that since modern y~uth are expected to find more entertainment outside the immediate family circle, mature earlier, and are more socially sophisticated than in the past, they should be granted more freedom.

Remain Essential The new definition of parental obligations and values implicit in this false outlook stems primarily from two related sources.

First, there is failure to understand the essential meaning of parenthood and to think. through its practical implications under modern social conditions. Parenthood involves much more than procreation or the supplying of food, shelter, elothing, protection, and affection.

Over and above these services, both socially and morally, it requires the patient, prudent, developmental instruction, train~ ing, guidance and supervision at children up to Christian maturity. Granted that modern social conditions may provide youth with wider and ID01'e ~ ....

The questionable belief that modern youth mature earlier or are more socially sophisticated than in the past is not at issue here.

By definition, adolescents are not adults. Their lack of experience, prudent judgment, selfcontrol, sense of responsibility and full awareness of the long range consequences of their actions makes patient supervision imperative, and parents who fail to provide it are guilty of • seriously sinful dereliction of· duty.

False Belief The second major source of the new definition is an erro- . neous pseudo - permissiveness based on the belief that teenagers are always capable of deciding what is best for themselves and consequently can be left to their own devices in oocial life.

The irrational view i!l aU the more objectionable because the very parents who follow it never bother to teach their children the factual information or sound moral principles they would need to make prudent decisions.

Experience shows that the parents who pretend to be insulted when one questions their over - permissiveness are also the parents who pretend to be' too shy or modest to teach their growing children the necessary essentials concerning the iacl8 of lfie.

·M@jQ'G1l (6 (0) (ill ((~®~ Stonehill College has received a new grant of $32,700 from the National Science Foundation to eonduct a Summer Institute for 35 high-school mathematics teachers from this area and from throughout the United States.

This is the second NSF grant to StonehilI for promoting excellence in mathematics instruction: Approximately 50 local high-school teachers are pres-; ently attending Saturday classes at the college under the previous grant. _ The Summer Session, which will be under the direction of Professor Joseph B. Chiccarelli of the Mathematics Department at StonehilI, will be held from June 24 to Aug. 2, 1963, and will offer two courses: Introduction to Abstract Algebra and Topics In Analysis. In addition to the courses, a Seminar will be con. ducted on CurriculUm Reform. .~ The two courses will carry six undergraduate credits and will be offered to qualified teachers at no charge, as all fees are included in the NSF grant. In addition, each high-school teacher will receive a stipend of $450 plus $90 for each dependent and a maximum travel allowance of $80.. Accommodations will be made available in the college dormitory.

Participating with Professor • Chiccarelli in the Institute will '. be Rev. Thomas E. Lockary, ,C.S.C., Ph.D., Chairman of the ,Science Division of Stonehill College; Martin J. Badoian. :Chairman of the Mathematics · Department, Can ton H i g .Il School; and Archibald Kelly, Chairman of the Mathematics Department, BrOCkton High School. .

Mr. Chiccarelli has done grad- aate work in mathematics at the University of Rome as a Fulbright Fellow and as an NSF Faculty Fellow at New York University. He taught in two previous NSF SunUner Institutes at Fordham University, where he was a faculty· member before joining the Stonehill College Faculty in 1961.

The abstract .algebra course will include a study of the structure of. gr.oups, rings, fields, polynomial forms and functions.

Stress will be placed upon the understanding of these algebraic structures, .and proper emphasis (especially with respect to the real number system) will be made to their possible introduction to high-school courses. .

Topics In Analysis covers sets. relations and analytic geometry; function's and the algebra of .' .functions; the concepts of limit, continuity and differentiability; · the properties, analytic geometry. and calculus of the elementary functions.

The Seminar on Curriculum Reform will include a deserip· tlon and discussion of the various proposals of the Commission on Mathematics, School Mathe, matics Study Group. Ball State " Program, University of lllinois Program and other major groups., At' the major fieldsaf the high-school curriculum will be covered.

Details regarding application · and qualifications for registra. "'lIon will shortly be forwarded to all high schools in this part of New England. Information may ·also be obtained from StonehiU College.

NEW YORK (NC)-Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson of New York has praised the initiative of an interfaith committee in spurring . community action against indecent literature in the Yorkville section of Manhattan.

The committee organized a project called "Operation Yorkville," which has its headquarters in the rectory of St. Ignatius parish here.

Members ~ the committee are: Father William T. Wood, S.J., past,or of St. Ignatius; the Rev. Robert E. Wiltenburg, pastor of Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran church; and Rabbi Joseph Lookstein of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun.

More than 200 leaders representing 120 neighborhood organizations attended afternoon and evening meeting at which they heard various civic officials speak on the dangerous effects of pornography on youth.

In his letter of commendation, Lt. Gov. Wilson said: "While I am sorry that conditions today make such· a meeting dealing with salacious literature necessary, I applaud the initiative taken in having the meeting held. Let us hope that from this meeting and succeeding meetings there emerges an aroused citizenry who will refuse to permit the widespread distribution of salacious literature to continue."

Leader to Seek Jewish Opinion On ~crrn(J)~1 Aid

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 20, 1962

JOY

PROVIDENCE (NC) -A national leader in the Jewish day school movement said here that Hebrew day school

His knowledge rules.

His strength defends.

His love doth cherish all;

educators would be polled to determine their views on Federal aid for education in churchrelated schools.

His birth our joy, His life our light, His death our end of thrall.

Addressing an all-day educational conference of the New England Region of the National Association of Hebrew Day School PTAs, Joseph Kaminetsky of New York took note af developments at the recent national convention of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.

One ft'o Go MANCHESTER (NC) - Fo? the second straight year a team from Boston Colleg£ topped n Held of 20 colleges and won the second leg on the Union LeadeJ? Trophy in the 10th annual S~ Anseim',s College novice debate tournament here. BC now is tied with the University of Vermont with two victories. The tournament must be won three times for permanent possession of tho trophy. ;..

The union, he said, had reversed a long-standing position on the issue by rejecting a resolution opposing Federal aid for education in religious schools.

Urges Direct Stand Kaminetsky, director of Torah Umesorah, the national society for Hebrew day schools, said that while sentiment among Jewish educators has been growing in favor of Federal aid, an accurate survey of the views of day school principals, directors and lay leaders is necessary to offset "widespread misconceptions over the opinions of large segments of the American Jewish community."

He said results of th~ poll would be published within the next two months.

Kaminetsky urged a direct stand in favor of aid to parochial schools. "If our day schools are to keep pace with the expanding public school system, then we must do all we can to see to it that due recognition is given to private religious schools," he declared.

Press Reports Displease eya NEW YORK (NC)-Catholic Youth Organization teen members have taken issue with newspaper reports of. the first annual Teenage Federation convention of the CYO here.

Spokesmen for the 1,200 youthful convention participants, in'cluding the president of the Manhattan CYO, said newspapers did not truly reflect the deliberations of delegates who discussed the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court against recitatio'n of state-authorized prayer in public schools.

"The entire workshop of 150 teenagers' were in unanimous disagreement with the decision," they said, "but newspaper reports claimed that a majority favored the ruling."

Franciscan Missionary Oil Discoverer . .

NEW YORK (NC)-A Franciscan priest, missioner to Indians, was the first white man to discover oil in North America,· 233 years before the first oil well was sunk successfully.

He was Father Joseph de la Roche D'Aillon, O.F.M., who had renounced wealth and social position in France for a life of poverty and mission service. He came to Montreal in New France (Canada) in 1625 and a year later was a missioner among the Tionnati Indians, led by Chief Soubarissen, in what is now up. per New York state.

While ministering to the 'Indi~ ans, the Franciscan learned they used oil which came from a spring where CUba, N. Y., now is located for tanning and waterproofing _skins, mixing paints and for medicine. Eventually the property came into the hands of the Seneca Indians. By treaty with the U. S. the oil spring and one square mile around it remained under Seneca control. . The first successful oil well in the U. S. was sunk by Edwin L.

Drake on Aug. 27, 1859 at Titusville, Pa. The first successful oil well in New York state was drilled in 1865, just 20 miles from the surface oil Father D'Aillon had found. The Fran. ciscan was returned to France after the British had captured .Quebec in 1629 and died there in 1656.

These facts are disclosed in an article, "The Friar and the In.. dian Chief," by Edward Heath, published in the current issue of Petroleum Today, quarterly mag-

azine of the American Petroleum Institute published here.

Approved by Leaders

"One big metropolitan dally, which agreed to a correction, realized that it had carried a discussion point as a final conclusion of the entire group.

Other papers throughout the country had picked up the inaccuracies from its pages."

"We thought that prayer and the acknowledgement of Almighty God should be encouraged among all youth in schools everywhere. It was also pointed out tha,t the New York State Board of Regents' prayer has actually been approved by leaders of the three maj or religiou,s faiths-Catholic, Protestant and Jewish."

As it came upon a midnight clear, may the inspiration of the Christmas Miracle abide in your heart now and always. May this season be really rewarding to you spiritually, bright with promise of "Peace on earth, good will to men."

Widows, Widowers Form Family Group NEWARK (~"'C)-A Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral here attended by 80 widows and widowers marked the beginning of a new movement, tentatively called "One-Parent Families," within the Family Life Apostolate of the Newark archdiocese.

Members offered the Mass for their deceased partners and later attended a luncheon and conference, at which participants organized themselves into neighborhood groups for monthly diseussions.

A founding member, Steve Garlick of Waldwick, N. J., explained its importance for him: "When my wife died I had to learn how to shop, how to select elothes for the children, how to get through the first holiday without my wife. If this organIzation can get people over these humps, it will be a great help."

Student Federation Sets Goals CINCINNATI (NC) - More students concerned about major contemporary issues and less student apathy - these are among the chief goals of the National Federation of Catholic College Students.

John Simone, first fulltime president of the federation, told students of three Cincinnati colleges that the nationwide organization is "a channel of the lay apostolate." .

He spoke at Xavier University, the College of Mount St. Joseph, and Our Lady of Cincinnati College.

"AI> Catholics," he' said, "we

have a responsibility to work in the community and to realize that the college is not separate from the community."

Principal are a s in which NFCCS is directing its efforts, he said, are industrial relations, urban affairs and rural life.

VVants nlore nlelnbers ,"In urban affairs," he explained, "we are attacking such problems as changing neighborhoods and parishes and rapid growth of the suburbs."

The .federation prograln calls for students to make first hand studies of the problems, visiting 1abor leaders and management

officials, talking with Negro families. about discrimination, and then relating the facts they discover to the principles they have learned,. he said.

NEA tactics to defeat the col. lege measure, he said, were to demand pressure on Congressmen from state and local affillates, to fly to Washington lobbyiats and leading schoolmen from states as distant as California and to send a telegram to every member of the House and Senate..

The association, he noted, intervened at the last moment, just before the House vote, charging that the bill imperiled "America's traditional concept of sep- . aration of Church and State." ''The falseness of the' ChurchState issue" said Father Blum . "was irrele~ant to the 'final vote: The fact that nearly all of our 2,000 colleges and universIties directly participate in Federal iunds was equaIly irrelevant.

What was relevant, with elections just around the corner, were the political realities of NEA pressure.'"

Charges Education Association Promotes Economic Strangulation of Private Schools HUNTINGTON (NC) - The National Education Association has been charged with standing ready to crush any Federal aid to education proposal which ineludes private schools.

This charge is made by Father Virgil C. Blum, S.J., a political scientist from Marquette Univer. sity, Milwaukee, and a widely known commentator on Federal aid.

Father Blum, in an article appearing in the Our Sunday Visitor newspaper, writes that the NEA promotes "economic strangulation" of private schools in order "to compel conformity to a ·state-established orthodoxy in the realm of thought and belief."

Focusin~ on the ~EA's successful campaIgn to kl~l a proposal to extend Feder~l ald. t~ a~ U. S. colleges and universItIes In the past Congress, Fa!h,,:r Blum writes that the assocIatIon has a grass roots power than .can "throw the fear of the Lord mto scores o~ Potomac-loving politicians."

bassy in Haiti, said Haiti President Francois Duvalier's perDonal absorption in voodooism is a top reason for that country'. attack against the Church.

Over the past three years President Duvalier has expelled three bishops and nine priests and has used a number of accusations as excuses for his actions, Needham said. The latest to be expelled were Bishop Pauf> Robert of Les Gonaives and three priests.

In an article written for Catholic Action of the South, New Orleans archdiocesan newspaper, a Catholic author and former New Orleans newspaperman, lJllid other reasons for the attack by Duvalier are: 'Power rs SBipl'llnng' His own detestation of the French, who have provided most .of the Hierarchy and clergy in Haiti.

His dislike of the whites of whatever nationality.

And "it may be hazarded that Duvalier's power is slipping" Dnd that he has "protected" voodooism in an effort to gain popular approval.

But, Needham said, voodooism, which included the sacrifice of humans in some authenticated case histories, is the core of the dispute. In the iatest attack Dl{ainst the Church, Duvalier accused Bishop Robert of being on "enemy of the gOVe'rnment" by crusading against voodooism, . Needham wrote.

Exp!ains Council Aims CHICAGO (NC)- Albert Cnrdinal Meyer, back home from the first session of the I::cumenical Council, said Pope John's aim in convoking the Council is "to confront the Church with the modern world, nnd the modern world with the Church."

The Archbishop of Chica~ said that attending Council sessions along with bishops from all over the world had given him and the other Council Fathers "a better understanding of the catholicity or universality of the Roman Catholic Church."

Referring to Pope Jobn's recent illness, he said the Pope appeared "very vi<::orous" at the Council closing meetings."

Cardinal Meyer said he was impressed by the coverage given tile Council by the press and other news media, which he said has done a "splendid job."

DELIGHT

NOTRE DAME (NC) U.S. foreign policy has been built into a Messianic message that contradicts the

Love's sweetest mark,

laud's highest theme, man's most desired light,

essence of American democracy, an author and former associate editor of Commonweal magazine charged here.

Americans too often think that it is their vocation to lead into the promised land the people whose societies "are subtle, ancient, sophisticated and in some ways more accomplished than our own," said William Pfaff at a seminar on "Religion ~d U.S. Foreign Policy."

He told the 37 participants in the seminar, sponsored by Notre Dame University in cooperation with the Council on Religion and International A f f air s, that Americans tell other peoples "that we, with our economic and political institutions, will save them from themselves."

"We sometimes are determined to save them whether they want to be saved or not," he asserted. "We tell them that they really have but two choices - to become communists, or to become like us." " Sees Ccntll':tfditillD Our foreign policy, he added, often seems as determined as communist policy to force the world into one or the other of these categories.

"Yet this is a clear contradiction of all that we profess," Pfaff continued. "For the essence of our system is that it is open - that it is not an ideology cutting history down to two or three simple categories. ''Democracy is a method of il:ivil government. It is not a X'eligion. It offers no explanation of human existence, or of the destiny of man, or of the ll'hythms of history. It foresees 1I10 millennium. Yet we have ~ended to make 11 narrow and' ideological." , Pfaff asserted that the greatlI1ess of a nation lies not in its ;qoreign policy b)Jt "in the character of civil life itself, in reliIlion, in the arts and sciences, An intellectual 1md social accomplishment."

"Foreign policy," he added, "is o mere tool by which we may encourage those civil conditions An which true greatness may grow."

The apologists for Castro and the Americans who ..misled their' fellow citizens as ~io what Castro represented and would effect in Cuba,' will, therefore, not be too deeply dis'hlrbed by Mr. Smith's book The Fourth Floor (Random House. $5), an account of his ambassadorship.

And they will rejoice, one would judge, ,in the thoroughly bad job of writing which Mr. Smith has done. His style is \h1rgid. He has almost no idea ~ how to organize data and arguments.

But the Fourth Floor people did not do 'the job all by themselves. Mr. Smith indicts as well what he called the liberal press.

This he accuses of slanting and suppression.

Mr. Smith makes it clear that the Batista regime had become intolerable and had to go.

It is his contention, however, that a peaceful 'change was possible, that a coalition of progressive and responsible forces, representing na t i 0 IT a I unity, could have been effected which would have. avoided violent revolution while providing constitutionalorder, political free-' dom, and economic stability and justice.

By Jack Kineavy Moving out to a fine preseason start, Holy Family of New Bedford swept both ends of a home and home series with Bishop Stang in a pair of real cliff-hanging contests. C 0 a c h Jack r-.~obrega's charges posted a 62-58 victory at the Kennedy Center, then in. vaded the Spartan domain a week later and emerged with a 52-50 win.

A perennial power in Narry competition, the Blue Wave agaili is expected, to be among, the loop's prime contenders this season. Holy Family placed second last year behind Case High of Swansea which also has an experienced nucleus returning.

Coach Nobrega's squad launched its title quest last Tuesday night in Fall River against always tough Prevost High. 'Tomorrow night the Wave will go against Somerset High and this friendly . rivalry has produced some of ,the gl'eatest ball in the junior circuit over the last decade.

Mons'ignor Coyle High of Taunton annexed the fourth annual LaSalle Alumni Tourney title last Sunday by virtue of a 65-57 win over DeLaSalle Academy of Newport, R.I. The Warriors' strong showing in the two day competition stamps them liS serious contenders for honors in the strong Bristol County League circuit which is scheduled to launch the championship season _ on January 4.

Coach Jim Lanagan's hoopsters thus have begun the '62-'63 campaign displaying the same form which enabled them to capture the Class A Bay State 'Tourney title last March. The veteran Warrior five capitalized on a strong 21 point third period to vanquish DeLaSalle which held a 28-27 edge at halftime. Coyle's Jim Bradshaw was named the tourney's most valuable player and Jeff Mansfield, whose accurate foul shooting, iced the verdict was placed on the tourney all-star team.

Indications that the Crimson of New Bedford High are ready and capable of resuming a leading role in scholastic hoop circles after being dormant for a year are very much in evidence on the basis of their strong performances against New Bedford Vocational and Somerville' this past week Coach Roger Lemenager's quintet, now boasts a 3-0 record having sandwiched in a spectacular victory over always strong Somerville between home and home wins over a veteran, highly regarded Vocational team.

Catholics whose Mass is in languages other than Latin, whose laity receive communion under species of bread and wine, and whose baptisms involve immersing the child in water three times.

Such customs mark most of the Eastern Churches, separated as well as Catholic. Some separated Eastern Christians fear that if they came into unity With the Holy See, they would be considered second-class Catholics.

It seems likely that the Council will reaffirm the declaration made a generation ago by Pope ,Pius XI: "In the Church of 'Jesus Christ, which is not Latin or Greek or Slav, but Catholic, there is no discrimination among her children, so that all, ,whether Latin or ,Greek or Slav, enjoy the same favor with the Apostolic See."
