_ BEIRUT, Lebanon (NC) Eight armed men in two cars kidnapped American Servite Father Lawrence Jenco, Catholic Relief Services director in Bei· rut, Jan. 8, police said. Just hours after the kidnap ping, eRS headquarters in New ork issued an urgent plea for is release on medical grounds. The results of tests taken Jan. showed that Father Jenco had serious heart condition reo uiring immediate hospitaHza· ion, and any stress could en· anger his life, CRS said. Father Jenco, 50, a native of oliet, Ill., was pulled out of- his car ne~r a West ~eirut police tation and he and his Moslem river, Khaled Krunfol, were orced into its back seat by the bductors. armed with pistols nd AK-47 assault rifles. The kidnappers fired into the

A few blocks away, having pistol. whipped Krunfol, the a1bductors stuffed him in the trunk of Father Jenco's car and abandon ed it, transferrin3 the priest to one of their vehicles.. Krunfol freed himself, and re ported the abduction details to police and the Beirut eRS office. The kidnapping occurred about 7:30 a.m. as Father Jeoco was en route to medical treatment for his heart problem. eRS spokesman Beth Griffin said "results came back today (Jan. 8)" of electrocardiogram and blood tests given to Father Jenco the previous day.

Need for famine aid • contInues By NC News Service Catholic Relief Services has announced, that 1.6 million tons of emergency food will be need ed to feed an estimated 10 mil lion people in danger of starving to death in Ethiopia in 1985, while two African leaders say \ current reHef efforts are faUing . far short of need. eRS, the overseas aid agency of the U.S. bishops, is the larg est private distributor of Ameri can food in Africa. According to CRS executive director Lawrence A. Pezzullo, the agency will provide at ~east 300,000 tons through commodity donations from the United States, ,European nations, Cana da and other countries. ORS has received $25 million in' donations toward African famine reHef in the last eight . weeks, of which $10 million win be dedicated to the immediate dis tribution costs in Ethiopia. Some private contributions will go to ward seeds, tools and farm ani mals to assure a 1985 food crop for the country. _ However, two top officials in Africa have called international aid to the continent inadequate. Peter Onu, interim secretary general 'of ,the Organization of AfricanUnlty, said aid to Ethi 0llia and other drought-affected African countries was "grossly inadequate," and urged African nations to help each other rather than rely on outside aid. A'debayo :Adedejl, executive sE;cretary .of the United Nations Economic Commission for Afri ca, predicted that up to 6 million tons of food will be needed by the continent in 1985, as op posed to 3.3 mHlion tons needed in 27 African countries in 1984. He added, however, that food aid to Africa "as important as it is, is simply riot enough. In fact, it is totally inadequate." He said Africa needs help in transportation, food storage, reo settlement of miHions, of people displaced by the· drought, and many 9tller areas. "Unless this is done, and most urgently, Africa will suffer from and the world will witness, a~ unparalleled . catastrophe," he said. "What we're seeing in Ethio pia is just the tip of a much larger program," said Pezzullo, explaining that CRS is expand ·ing projects geared toward vic tims in some 24 sub-Sahara African countries ravaged by drought and famine eventually feeding themselves. "In addition to stepping up our emergency aid in _ongoing CRS programs throughout the area, we are building our new development initiatives on decades of experi ence in Africa helping families attain self-sufficiency," he said. Meanwhile, with 300,000 people having starved to death since March, immediate aid re mains vital. In response to the

them~ori~ Meeting the Gospel Challenge In our support of human life in all its dimensions, so often, we concentrate on the dramatic issues ofabortion an(i dying. ' In between we sometimes overlook those who either through illness or accident have become what we sometimes unfe,elingly refer to as the handicapped. Yet in an age that has little compassion for human weakness or infirmity and encourages the disposable approach to much of life, it is imperative that we share a particular and singular concern for such, brothers and 'sisters. , ,The church has always had a deep interest in thi~ question. Over the centuries she has fostered many undertakings in aiq of the handicapped. She continues this work because she is convinced of the unique value of every human life. It is important for us in today's church to continue this histotic record of service. The handicapped person, no matter how' extreme his or her affliction, possesses the sacred and inviolable rights of every human being. However, mere recognition ofthis important moral principle , is not sufficient. We must lift our assent to itfrom the realm of theory to, that of practical action. If our concern ,for the, handicapped is to be sincere, we must facilitate their participation in all facets oflife at all possible levels: family, school, work, in community, politics and religion. , In the concrete everyday world, this presupposes absolute respect for the humanity of the handicapped pers~n at every stage of development. But we must not stop at respect. We have the obligation not merely to help overco~e handicaps but to remove, where possible, their causes. ' Often these causes are natural, but very frequently deformity Net UPI Photo or disease is caused by war, pollution, alcohol or drug abuse' or ,careless driving.

One of the reasons the event has taken such hold is that its circumstances and its triumphant victims are ideally

suited to media depiction.

Thus "Roses in December,"the power ful documentary about Miss Donovan, is, I believe, the most effective means conceivable for altering the outlook of middle-class Americans who are essen tially non-political and inclined to give their government a blank check' in dealing with complex foreign affairs.

She went to El Salvador for the sake of the poor and oppressed, but she reCeived fropt them, as her'writings show, more than she iave~ By letting her minisi~r to them, Miss Donovan realized, the people were ,enabling her to fulfill her vocation and attain her salvation. .:.

Holiday blues

I've been doing a little post holiday reflection about some thing that seems to have become a tradition - the spate of articles, conversations and ,commentaries on "HOLIDAY .DEPRESSION. " Every year for a lon/l time now, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's have become prime times for counselors and psychologists to point out why holidays can be a letdown. While much of what they say makes sense, I guess I'm tired of hearing it all the same. I've always believed there's a certain truth to the adage, "I've got the name, I'll play the game." So much talk revolves around how much work the holidays are, how expensive, how stressful and full of tension, that many people may well respond with a "that's right" simply to be in step with the parade. I think another element subcon sciously solicits our agreement that holidays can be depressing. It is the fact that many people know holidays can be conducive to overwork and stress. Many persons add another level of activity to their normal schedules

during this period. The result is that holidays are a time when people have to tap into different layers of emotional energy. This can be confusing or even threatening. But that is the very reason why the holidays are special. They provide us with a legitimate opportunity to interrupt our usual patterns. The holidays remind us that the human values of loving others and sharing friendship, memories, songs, laughter and beauty are what give meaning to the daily tasks of living all year long. So why should the holidays be depres sing? For.some it is because they become an excuse for excess, for gorging on sweets, drinking more, particularly alcohol, and sleeping less. Such excesses sure enough can cause the "holiday blues"through hangovers, extra pounds, and fatigue. Excess also can come on an emotional level. Holidays draw us back through memory into earlier times in our life. Like anniversaries and birth days, they make us nostalgic, con 'scious that the years are passing and we are aging. That can be a downer for some people. If past times were happier than pres-

i ent ones, that too can make a person sad. An encouraging report I saw came from research done by a University of ,Texas psychologist, Raymond Fuentes. Reviewing current research relating to depression in November and Dec ember, he found no indication ofdramatic increases in requests for counseling or mental health services in these months. Nor was there any increase in psy chiatric hospitalization or suicide. In fact, the suicide rate peaks in spring and is actually lowest in December, according to a national study Fuentes utilized for his findings. What can occur then at holiday time are mood changes and excesses in liv ing patterns. To call this "depression" is probably negative overkill. And to focus too much on it might cl!,ud the brightness that a religious holiday can bring by renewing our confidence in this life - a life that extends to eternity.

Hooked on praise

"I hate it when my parents praise me," a young'teen'told' his school counselor angrily. "Why'?" asked the surprised man. . "Because I know they're telling me I better keep doing what I'm doing or

e!Se..." He spoke for many children who have come to dislike and distrust paren tal praise. Praise as an honored parent ing tool is beginning to be re-evaluated by family educators. We're seeing chil dren who get hooked on praise.They don't want to do anything for which they aren't praised, not even the simplest daily responsibilities. If they aren't praised for turning in a paper or making their bed, they feel cheated and resentful. They begin to feel that praise is their due, the payofffor accomplishing rout ine chores. As they mature, praise, not a sense of personal accomplishment, becomes their reward. Iftheir employers and spouses don't constantly praise them, they become anxious, uncertain, and confidence-shaken because their validation comes from outside themselves. .Another problem with praise is that it states our expectations. When we praise a child, it is usually for some achievement apd the unspoken message is that if the child doesn't continue to achieve, we will withdraw parentlll praise. To many children, this means withdrawing love. For parents who find the relationship between praise and expectations diffi cult to understand, consider the comm ercial in which the husband says, "I'm so proud of her. She looks just like she did the day we were married." His unexpressed."because" says !le's proud of his wife because she continues to look 20 at 40 and tells her clearly that he won't be proud of her if she changes. A third problem with praise is that it

increases envy among those who aren't

Q. Is it possible for handh:apped, persons to be eucharistic ministers and lectors at Mass? I have never seen them in our parish. Do other parishes have handicapped people doing these duties? believed with a sincere and well-formed If not, why not? I feel they could, just conscience that what we were doing as well as a person who is not hand was really sinful. In other words, some icapped. (Maine) things may be sinful in themselves but A.

However; after all these years it is probably difficult if not impossible for you to sort out the motives involved in your marriage. How much you realized and intentio nally acted sinfully against these laws only God, and perhaps you yourself, know. Please go to confession and receive the sacrament of penance. The priest will understand. Tell him just what you told me, that whatever sin you are guilty of before God you are sorry for and that, whatever the past, you want to live faithfully now with God and the church. This last point is most important and I imagine the priest will say the same. The past is done; you are sctrry for whatever guilt may be there and God and the church forgive you. God is most interested now in guiding you and helping you in what you will do from here on. Good luck!

This Cove Chapel The following poem by An thony J. Guerra, North Eastham, was written: for the new St. Joan of Arc Church in Orleans. This chapel in this cove town though brightly fiNed in gothic elegance extolls the image. The sun insinuates through skyline glow this ethereal chapel. Myriad words' eloquence extolls the book with no words untold. Colorful oriels expound and flaunted walls the passion plod. In this cove town silently rest the sleepy fold. Now gongs the morning Angelus, skirring over hills and bay, over ocean waves the call to orison. Through heathed paths and regimented pines wafting and swaying around this chapel in this cove town.

Oh, it's good to have a hand to hold. Little Ting Pao of Taiwan knows that. . But when you're four years old and all alone in the world, two hands are even better.

Sex magazines heave-htl applauded By Jeanine Jacob MANGO, Fla. (NC) - The hundreds of fan leters Robert Jaeb received last summer only reinforced a decision he made on his own. without pressure or encouragement from anyone:, to remove $250,000 worth of sex magazines from his 440 "Stop and Go" convenience stores in Florida and south Georgia. "It was something that bother ed me," said Jaeb, a member of the Lakeland Assembly of God Church. "It's against our beliefs. It's junk. it's bad. so I threw it out." In the 24 years since Jaeb had built his enterprise from a single roadside stand. he had whittled the number of sexuaUy-oriented magazines he sold down to the three "least obnoxious" ones. Those three accounted for half I

his yearly magazine revenue, but he never looked at them. 'But last spring when a pub lisher sent him a copy of "R1ay boy," Jaeb decided the magazine had degenerated so in June. he "threw out" it and its compan ions. Within weeks, letters of thanks and congratulations were pour ,ing in from anti-pornography groups, churches. customers even his own employees, who had been embarrassed to sell the publications. Twenty to 30 'letters came per day at one poin't. After Jaeb filled his bulletin board with them. he began covering his walls. He said he has read all the letters and most appreciates those from customers. The only negative response came from a distributor who threatened to re

move all print material from Shop and Go if Jaeb puHed the magazines. When Jaeb didn't back down, the distributor did. "I've always thought the great est virtue was selfdiscipline," he said. "When something's hurt ing you. you have to know where to draw the line." He said he is not proud of the fact that his stores ever sold the magazines, but now that he has drawn the line. there will he no turning back. "There's no way in the world I would take them back." he said. ' Jaeb said other businesses have made similar decisions :since he stopped selling sex' magazines. "I think Christians have a responsibiHty as business men," he said. If all a merchant wants is to make profits. he added, "You might as well sell drugs."

years, it would' serve no useful purpose for the public to sit in final ju.dgment on the defendants. To what extent Union Carbide was responsible for the Bhopal accident and whether the com pany should be subject to puni tive as well as civil damages are matters for the appropriate courts to decide. By the same token, it would be a mistake to launch an ideo logical campaign against multi nationals solely on the basis of the little we know at this time about the causes of the Bhopal tragedy. Nevertheless the accident, whose human costs are almost incalculable, dramatizes the ur gent need for binding and en forceable codes of ethics gov erning the way multinationals do business in the· developing nations. Such codes are needed across the board, not only in the area of -industrial safety, but also in -labor-management relations, en vironmenta'l protection, etc. As Pope John Paul II pointed out in his 1981 encyclical "On Human Labor," this necessi late coord!inated planning through appropriate internation al organizations such as the In ternational Labor Organization and the World Health Organiza tion. It is discouraging to note, as ' Business. Week reports, that the United States and several Euro pean countries have until now opposed a pen~ing code of C7;l duct for chemical companies in the area of safety regulations. Let's hope the Bhopal accident

will

will induce the 'United Sta"tes'to take the lead in getting his long delayed code adopted by the Organization for Economic Co operation and Development.. In the aftermath of Bhopal, it would be criminal for the United States to continue blocking this proposal. It would be criminal also if U.S. multinationals, reviewing their own policies in light of the Bhopal tragedy, ,were to think only in terms of the monetary costs and risks to their own shareholders. Multinationals, 'if properly regulated have much to contri bute to the developing nations. They are capable of doing irre parable harm If guided solely by short-term market vEl'lues. , Multinationals will have to set their ethical sights high if only to justify their continued exis tence.

CRS official'Iud'napped'

Controversial vaccine made' from fetus TORONTO (NC) - Catholics in the, Archdiocese of Toronto may receive a German measles vaccine developed from the 1ung tissue of an aborted fetus with out violating church teaching, an archdiocesan official said. But leaders of'Canadian pro life groups have spoken out against the vaccine and called· for further research toward ani mal and synthetic alternatives. The vaccine was developed from the frozen lung tissue of a fetus aborted in 1962; Mthough similar vaccines could be pro duced from chick embryos; the human cell vaccin~, called WI 38, has been used in Canada since 1979. Canadian government researchers say it is less prone to contamination than vaccine made from animal tissue. WI· 38 has been approved by the World Health Organization. "In the opinion of this moral theologian, there is nothing in official Roman Catholic teach ing which would logically de mand the rejection of ,the WI-38 vaccine," said Father Jack Gal lagher, director of the Cardinal Carter Centre for Bioethics in Toronto. Father Gallagher, who speaks for the archdiocese on bioethic issues, said use of the vaccine does not constitute approval of abortion. He compared use of the tissue to use of the organs of a mur der victim for research or trans plant. Such use does not imply acceptance of murder, the priest said. But Campaign Life Canada President Jim Hughes said sci· entlfic research was opening a market for aborted fetuses. He added that he wondered how many aborted fetuses were used "until the researchers came up with the right vaccine" and called for more research into alternative vaccines" 'Father Gallagher acknow fledged room for debate on the vaccine. "Individual Catholics may de cide that this vaccine should be rejected," he said. "However, it seems that they cannot quote official Catholic teaching to demonstrate their case."

Church, high-rise coexist happily DENVER ~NC) .:- Follow ing the lead' of European architecture, Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Denver is sharing space with a nearly completed 43-story office bui!lding. Lander Corporation, a Brit ish development consortium, bought the property from the Archdiocese, of Denver,.in February 1982 for $11 million. The agreement called for the downtown church, built in 1943, to remain intact and be leased back to the archdio cese for $1 per year for 500 years with the option to re new the lease for another 500 years at the same cost. ",British developers are quite used to building around churches and old buildings. It's a fact, of'life," said Alex F. Harkes, Lander Corpora tion president. The church is nestled in a semicircular niche of the high rise, surrounded on nearly three sides by the 43-story building. Throughout construction and renovations, Masses and parish activities have carried on at Holy Ghost. Public -utili ties were rerouted, offices temporarily relocated, the baptistry served as the sacris ty and walkways were built at emergency side exits above the excavation level so the church remained accessible from the street. . At the time of the sale, Denver ,Archbishop James Casey said the monies real ized would be used to meet "the needs of our people."

War ideas must change, he says

COLUMBIA, S.C. (NC) - Be fore the United States' can change its nuclear weapons policies, individual Americans must change their ideas, Bishop Leroy Matthiesen of Amarillo, Texas, told a conference on nu clear winter sponsored by the University of South Carolina. "A new mode of thinking about other nations and about other peoples must begin with the individual . . . The choice must be ours before the policy can be the nation's," ,he said at the recent conference. Bishop Matthiesen said call ing the Soviet Union an "evil empire" or the "focus of evil" blinds people to 'their own con tribution to human suffering and to the universal need for com passion and forgiveness. He added that communication is needed in order to learn from others. "The prevailing inabiHty of A~ericans to speak other languages shuts us out of hu man understanding beyond scenic perspectives," he said. "At present we do have an un fortunate common language" with the Soviet Union, he said. "We have a common alphabet of destruction, rudimentary,

but intelligible: A, B, C - atom ic, biological, chemica1." "Unless we do a moral about face, the Earth will be destroy· ed, not at God's hands, but at our own," he said. "A moral about-face requires that we give, up the attempt to achieve nuclear superiority. A moral about-face requires that we give up the illusion that any one nation can have the power to dominate and rule the world." The bishop received national a'ttention in 1982 when he coun· seled workers at a nuclear weapons plant in his diocese to quit their jobs.

• "LET'S GO CRAZY" is diffi cult to understand. It presents a mixture of religion, disillusion ment and questionable advice. But whatever the message, Prince. agajn hit the top of the charts with this release. Cur renNy he is the hottest act in the music business. " Prince does not really say, what it means "to go crazy." He implies that this is the best way to handle life's disappoint ments. 'Ironically he seems more ,hopeful about the "afterworld" - '~a world of neverending hap piness; u can always see the sun day or night." However, we live in this world. Decisions and actions here and now help shape the happiness we wiU find. The song states that "in this life you're on your own." In one sense, that's true. Individ uals are responsible for their ac tions and their planning for the future. Yet people don't have to be all alone. When a person learns to free ly give and receive 'love, that person is not alone; C~uing about another truly enriches me. , Likewise another's caring can change our view of ilife. Often we discover that others will stand 'by us" even if tJtey dis agree ,with our decisions. Then, think' about God. His love does not make everything turn out as we want. But with God we can find new strength to face challenges.' Prince de· scribes' a kind of \ idealized heaven.- ,But God can 'be just as' real for us' on earth "':"'and ·tnat s~ems to escape Prince in this song. .When w~ think about it, there are much better alternatives for dealing with disillusionment and difficulties than going crazy. , Why go crazy when sane choices can' lead to better re . surlts?' ,

Mansfield Closing In' With a 6-2 victory over New Bedford, Mansfield climbed to within three points of idle pace setting Fall River South in the Bristol County CYO Hockey League standings.. In the companion game in the Driscoll Rink, Fall River, last Sunday FalJ River North romped to a 6-3 victory over Somerset to climb out of a ceUar-tie with the losers and take undisputed possession of fourth place. Two goals by Marc Gallagher ,in the first period and one by Bob Carroll early in the second canto gave FaJ.l River North a 3-0 lead before Nate Earle scored for Somerset.

However, Gallagher's third goal of the game and one by Tony DeFillippo gave Fall River North a S-l edge going into the final period. Pete McDonald widened the gap to 6-1 in the last period before Tom JAldrich and Earle scored for Somerset. Steve Sharpe and Don Briggs scored for Mansfield, Peter Bo telho for New Bedford in the opening stanza of that game but two goals by Rick Webster, one each by Rick Picard and Mike Cassidy in the second period put the game out of reach for the Whaletowners, whose Chris La bonte scored in the last period.
