Christian Unity Services Put Stress on Prayer With a world-wide stress on prayer in common this year, Christians throughout the Fall River Dioc.:lse hare planned ecumenical services that will bring Catholics and Protestants together in prayer.

In Fall River, the Greater Fall River Clergy Association will meet at Venus (H Milo Restaurant at 12 Noon <)n Monday, Jan. 22 for a dinner-Worship service.

To be announced at the dinnerworship w;1I be plans for a greater ecumenical gathering sometime in March.

Conf~rence of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) said that they expected to print and distribute the document as quickly as possible.

The basic teachings document, they said, should not be confused with either the General Catechetical Directory issued by the Vatican in 1971, or the National Catechetical Directory - the American adaptation of the general directory-which is now in progress. Those documents are intended to offer practical guidelines for religious instruction.

The basic teachings document, on the other hand, Ifsts the basic doctrines that are to be taught in religious instruction. It does not try to rank the doctrines in order of importance, nor does it give instructions for methods of teaching.

Leading worship in the Fall River gathering wiII be Very Rev. Gabriel Blain, q.P., Prior of the Dominican Community; and, Rev. Donald Jailtes, Pastor of the Church of the Ascension.

"The most effective methodology is expected in teaching these basic beliefs," said the document.

"Due consideration should be shown for the listener's level of maturity and understanding."

The approval of the document required a two-thirds affirmative vote by the bishops. The bishops voted by mail-in ballots which they received shortly after their annual meeting here in November.

The approval marked the culmination of two years of writing, consultation and revision by'the bishops' ad hoc committee responsible for the document.

The committee was headed by Archbishop John F. Whealon of Hartford, Conn., who is also chairman of the U. S. bishops' committee on doctrine and their

"I spoke with Church and government officials in Managua and they indicated to me that what is most drastically needed is permanent housing for the people who lost everything in the quake," he said.

According to plans outlined by Fathers Hill, d'Escoto and Breen, Maryknoll will create a permanent autonomous community of about 1,000 families, all of whom will contribute to its planning and construction. ."What is most important is that the people participate in every stage of planning and building," said Father d'Escoto, who was involved in similar projects, but on a larger scale, during six years as a missioner in Santiago, Chile.

SChool which can accommodate some of the students from St. Theresa's.

In commenting on the mergers, Rev. Pat.rick J. O'Neill, Superintendent of Diocesan Schools, explained that the Sisters of Mercy who staff five elementary scho01s in New Bedford had notified the diocese in midDecember that there would be one-third fewer Sisters available for New Bedford schools next year. ,In actual numbers this would be f'pproximately 14 Sisters in place of the current 23.

Several meetings were held with area pastors and principals to determine how the five schools staffed by the Sisters of Mercy {;ould best adjust to this shortage. Rather than simply closing two or three schools, the merger approach was adopted.

The new arrangement wi1l provide three strong schools staffed by the Sisters of Mercy in the north, central and southern sections of the city.

Father O'Neill stressed that a number of details remain to be worked out, but that diocesan authorities feel that this was the only practical solution in the face of the Sister shortage. He Tum to Page Two

Last year the Planning Commission for Catho'lic Schools in "New ·Bedford presented a sweeping plan for the reorganization of Catholic schools. The plan called for the merging of 11 parish schools into six regional schools.

After considerable negative reaction from many parishes the plan was dropped. With the clos'ing of Sacred Heart S<:hool last year, the closing of 5t.

The document summarized its purpose and place in religious education by saying: "No list of documents can bring about real religious education, but certain basil: teachings are necessary for doctrinal substance and stability. . . "This text sets down the principal element.s of the Christian message. These basic teachings . ure here specified by the American bishops, who as bishops hold in the Church special responsibility for determining the content of faith instruction. It is necessary that these basic teachings be central in all Catholic religious instruction, be never overlooked or minimized, and be given adequate and frequent emphasis."

Necrology

Council Effective Despit~ Differences CINCINNATI (NC)--:"'The Ohio Council of Churches has shown that Catholics arid Protestants can work together effectively in spite of major differences, according to the priest who headS the council.

Father Carl Moeddel, the first priest-president 'of the OCC, pointed to changes in the council since the Catholic dioceses of Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus and Youngstown joined in 1970.

While the council still tackles controversial social and political i~sues, Father Moedell, executive director of the archdiocesan ecumenical commission here, said that any issue which is morally cbjectionable to a member denomination is automatically put aside, "out of deference to that denomination," he said.

. While the two issues are certainly topical and of great concern to OCC members, Father, Moeddel does not feel that the council is weakened by its policy of avoiding matters which are morally offensive to some memo, bers. .

"We feel there are so many other issues on which we can reach consensus that to risk the ·dissolution of the council for a specific issue is more than we are. willing to do." '. .

Based on priorities compiled by each of the 19 member churches, the OCC has established basic· priority areas for 1973 including ecumenical action, penal reform and an attempt to agree on common moral values and to find a . way in which they can be taught in public schools. .

Irish Bishops Ask Welfare ·Increase DUBLIN (NC)-The Irish bishops' Council for Sociel Welfare have called for improvements in social welfare benefits, including a minimum income level for everyone.

A 10-page report by the council of clergy and laity, including Bishop Peter Birch of Ossory, sharply criticized present welfare provisions for many categories of the underprivileged, particularly unmarried mothers and deserted wives: The, report called on the government to reexamine both the nature of poverty in Ireland and governmental structures for dealing with it. It urged a single unified department to deal with all aspects of health and social security and to plan social policy.

It also suggested a national advisory cou;,cil for social policy and the establishment of community 'social service centers throughput the country.

Several OCC divisions handle issues regarding ecumenical relations, social action programs and lobbying efforts throughout the state.

Favors Lobbying Father Moeddel notes that the word "lobbying" is offensive to many, particularly in relation to the Church. He sees it, however, as "a legitimate part of the democratic process." It is not only a right but an obligation to lobby and exerL influence to reach the group's goais, he says.

While he values the OCC for this kind of social action, Father Moeddel also finds it valuable as an organization in whcih "experiences, theology and dialogue are shared."

Although he does not take exclusive credit for it, Father Moeddel said that since the four dioceses joined the organization "we have· especially tried to bring the concern of theological discussion and spiritual sharing to the council."

Father Moeddel admits that these are hard times for ecumenism everywhere, citing signs of "denominational retreating" as evidence.

It may simply be a matter of too many troubles at home, he' says, and the feeling among some denominations that "we'd better get our own house in order first:" Money problems and declining memberships certainly seem to be an influence, he says.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The Ii, president of ,the National Confer.. I ence of Catholic Bishops ha!l. praised "the generosity of Amer.. ican Catholics"and appealed fol' more aid to the victims of the: Managua, Nicaragua earthquake,.

"I am sure that you and your people share my feelings of shock and grief at the results of the recent tragic earthquake," Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia said in a letter to the heads of the 31 archdioceses and 131 II dioceses in the United States.

Cardinal Krol urged them to Ii undertake special collections to· help relief efforts in Nicaragua, Ii noting that a number of dioceses have already announced their- II intention to help., "The generosity of American II Catholics, displayed so many ti~es in the past, will surely ex- II press itself again in an outpouring of assistance for our stricken !I brothers ·and Sisters ,in Nicaragua," Cardinal Krol said.

II 'Sister State' Even before Cardinal Krol's statement "'las issued, many dioceses were holding special collections for the Nicaragua relief work for victims of the tragedy that struck Nicaragua's capital city of over 400,000 Dec. 23.

Heading the list was Bishop F. W. Fr~king of La Crosse, Wis., who noted that under the Partners of the Americas progra!11 the state of Wisconsin is a "sister state with Nicaragua." Under the program .several exchange activities in trade and education have taken. pl~ce in the recent past. Wisc')nsi~ Gov. Patrick J. Lucey declared the last day of December as "Nicaragua Relief Day." Besides setting up relief centers to gather contributions for the Managua victims, Bishop George J. Guilfoyle of Camden, N. J., initiated an information program for 300 Nicaraguans living in the· area, Who sought news about their relatives in . Managua. After Red Cross and other channels were tried without success, diocesan centers were able to get first reports through the Apostolic Nunciature in Managua.

As Miami residents, many of them Spanish-speaking refugees and immigrants from Cuba and other Latin American counotr,ies, brought relief to parish centers, first hand information on victims of thf? quake was also provided.

much they subsidize each undergraduate, graduate and professional student at public college and university," Private colleges and universities are steadily losing ground in comparison with their public counterparts, the Jesuit said. In 1950, he said, enrollment was equally divided between private and public institutions of higher learning. Now, public institutions account for 75 per cent of the tot1il1 enrollment and by 1985, they will have 85 per cent, he said.

The tuition differential between private and public colleges is "a nightmare" for most priv3Jte colleges, Father Ryan said. "To meet rising costs, the institution increases tuition," he said. "But the tuition increase results in fewer admission applications and forces many upperclassmen to transfer to public colleges and universities. Tuition income plummets."

I think the Hme .has come to blow the whistle on people who irresponsibly try to pin the charge of genocide on' those with whom they happen to disagree. Arnold Beichman, a lecturer in politics at the University of Massachusetts and a skilled polemicist who is thoroughly famil'iar with the ins and outs of radical politics in' this countrY, argues in a recent book entitled "Nine Lies About America" (Library Press, New York, $7.95) that this "is in essence the same l'inguistic technique used in disseminating the Big Lie about fascism in America, namely, the adaptation of an adjective as a seeming qualifier to a noun with an absolute meaning."

Beichman points out that this irresponsible habit of charging individual Americans (Pat Moynihan, for example) or charging the entire American system wit~ genocide "is one which has spread widely among apparently trained and reasonable intellectuals." I wouldn't say that the leaders of SDS fall into this category. In other words, they don't strike me as being either "trained" or "reasonable." To the contrary, if their advertisement in the Times is typical of their way of doing things, I would say that they are totally irresponsible. In fact it would be hard to imagine anything more irresponsible and more unscrupulous than their attack on Moy.nihan: U's a dirty attempt on their part to undermine the reputation of a first-rate public servant.

"This perennial philosophy h~lsll been replaced or enervated bY!1 certain forms of thought which have invaded' the fashionable I mentality but are void of the 'I epistemological and metaphysical foundations which help build religious thought." The term "perennial philosophy" usually refers to Scholastic philosophy in general and the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas in particular.

"We will also find the causes in the dissolving of objeotivl:! I' moral oblig:ltion.

Soviet Newspaper Hits Radio Station MOSCOW (NC)-Vatican Radio was among radio stations attacked in the Soviet trade union newspaper Trud for trying "to export to our country ideas alien to the Soviet people." The stations, Trud said, try to change the convictions and way of thin'king of the Soviet people.

"The voices of religious radio advocates continue day and night," said the article by A. Belov and A. Shilkin. It attacked the broadcasts as "purposeful propa'ganda of militant anticommunists striving to undermine socialism from within."

Vatican RadiQ was among 15 "religious centers" listed as broadcasting to ,the Soviet Union.

Others were Radio Monte Carlo and. the Manila Station "The Voice of .the Orient."

The article also named the Voice of America, the British Broadcasting Company, Radio Liberty and the West German station Deutsche Welle. The article accused the Voice of America of trying to stir up national sentiment in the Soviet Tepublic in 1972, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Soviet Union.

Continued from Page One school education today.

Previously students were prepared to further their Catholic education through the numerous , parochial grammar schools in the area. With the closing of many of these g:oammar schools in the past few years it is now necessary that Catholic parents with· children i:t both Catholic and II public school systems be advised , of the alternative benefits afforded by the Fall River Catholic I High School system. ' The principals and the facul- II ties of the diocesan high schools ! hope to inform aU parents that the placement of their children in a Catholic High school will benefit the' student through the three-fold aim of Catholic education set up by the nation's bish- II ops, "to teach the faith, to build Christian community,. and to'" serve.". Taken alongside public 11 education, the Catholic school system in the area offers a basic II . alternative of unique, contempo- ' rary, and service oriented educa· tion with an added emphasis on, a personal student-teacher relationship.

The principals in their meetings and p1:lnning sessions voiced 'I!' 11I11I111I111I11I11I1111111111I11I111111I11I11I11I11I11IIII11I11I111111I11I1111III111111111I111J111III11I1111IIIImlll II J11111111111111111I1111 the plea of the nation's bishops that parents would support their efforts in maintaining a competi- . tive choice in education which

The Day-by-Day I Work The acting director of ~he Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced that F2 policemen were killed last year in the line of duty. This is a 10 per cent drop from the statistics of 1971, but the fact remains that human I beings are not statistics.

Each one of these policemen was a human being, someone's son or husband or fatre~ or brother or friend. 'Each one entered a.county or city:or state police department not merely looking for securit~ - ironic thought - or for a position of prestige - even more ironic - but with some thought of working with people and for the common good.

The person who becomes a policeman must have some sort of a commitment to sefvice. And it is tragic that in 112 instances, this desire to serve was cut short by untimely I criminal death.

It is true that when a I man Joms a police force he knows the risks involved. !-fe knows that every time he walks out on a streef he could. not be returning home again.

He knows, especially in recent years, that he has become the focus point of the aggre$sions and hostilities of many persons.

I At the same time, he kQows, t60, that the peace and order of a community are riding upon 'his shoulders and dependent upon his decisions. IAnd he has little time to think out these decisions. His is n~t the leisure of a justice who can take a case under advis~ment and consult authorities and think through all implica~ions and render a decision in the calm and reasoned atmosphere of a co~rtroom. He is involved with people whose temotions are high, situations calling for an immediate res~onse, and all the pressures of immediacy are upon him, upon , his words and. acts.

But he is there for precisely this reason. He must be trained to give the right respOnse to every situation.

And he is expected to db all this with judgement and I fairness and integrity.

Leaders may direct, legislators may make laws, sociologists may interpret people, j6dges ·may argue the niceties of justice. All these people ha~e their roles. But the day-by-_ day work of helping people f(mction in an orderly commu'nity, protecting the rights of! each and the welfare of all, facing immediate demands' with immediate action, all this ' is the lot of the policeman. I ' And at times he pays for this with his life as 112 did i last year.

Bishop Promises Direct Contact With People , LAFAYEITE (NC) .:.:.. Bishop Gerard L. Frey took office as bishop of Lafay~tte with a promise to bring his efforts for renewal directly to the people.

"It is my intention that we see much of one another in the future," Bishop Frey told a corigregation in the Cathedral of St. John Evange1ist "The place of a bishop today is not behind a desk doing administrative work, but among the people whom he was sent to serve.

"It is only by meeting and getting Ito know as many of the laity, Religious and clergy of the diocese as possible that I can become aware Of your problems, your needs and the manner in which I can best promote the cause of renewal and unity in the diocese," Bishop Frey said.

Bishop Frey, formerly head of the Savannah, Ga., diocese, was installed as third bishop of Lafayette Jan. 8, /the feast of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, the patron of Louisiana.

Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, apostolic delegate in the United States and Archbishop Philip Hannan of New Orleans conducted Bishop Frey to the episcopal chair in the cathedral and gave him his episcopal staff.

'Ever Edifying' Bishop Frey, 58, a native of New Orleans, succeeds Bishop Maurice Schexnayder, 77, whose resignation was accepted by Pope Paul VI in November.

In the sermon for the occasion, Bishop Schexnayder路 recalled the pxhortation of St. Augustine regarding the duties of a bishop, "to rebuke those who stir up strife, to comfort those of little courage, to take the part of the weak, to refute opponents, to be on guard against traps, to teach the ignorant, to shake the indolent awake, to discourage those who want to buy and sell, to help the poor, to liberate the oppressed, to encourage the good, suffer the evil and to love all men ... to be ever preaching, disputing, reproving, edifying, to be on hand for every man-that is a great burden and one which lies heavily on man."

Minnesota Delays Abortion Decision ST. ~AUL (NC)-The Minnesota Supreme Court has announced that it will delay a decision on the state's anti-abortion law until the U. S. Supreme Court rules on two other state I'aws. the U. S. Supreme Court heard arguments on the Georgia and Texas law.. Il:\st October and is expected to rule soon on those cases. It will be the court's first statement on the constitutionality of abortion laws.

The stat路~ high court has had two state abortion cases under review since December 1971-far longer than the average threemonth interval between review of the case and release of the court's decision.

Similarly, the U. S. Supreme Court has taken an unusual amount of time deciding its cases.

Arguments were heard in the tall of 1971 and again last fall. The second hearing was ordered to allow a broad decision on all abortion law:; or it could confine itself to several technical issues.

Bernie and Madeline Tomlinson Pillars Of St. Joseph Parish, Fall River

BY PAT McGOWAN

Every parish has its pillars. In St Joseph's, Fall River, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Tomlinson are among the staunchest. Born in the parish, in the North Main Street house where he still lives.

Bernie started serving it as a fourth grader, when he sang in the children's choir. Over the years he has been active in nearly every parish organization as member or officer, as has been his wife Madeline. He is a parish trustee, a member of the parish council and an ever-willing seller of tickets for church activities.

Of his dedication he says casually, "Well, I live close to the church and my business is on the same block, so naturally I'd get involved."

Others felt he'd done much more than "live close," however, and among them was Msgr.

George E. Sullivan, pastor of St. Joseph's. As a result, on Dec. 29 Tomlinson was among recipients of the Marian Medal for distinguished service to the diocese.

Will Rise Tomlinson recalls St. Joseph's as "a very' busy parish" over the years. He regrets that it, along with neighboring St. Mathieu and St. Michael's parishes, has lost many members in the past few years due to Western Expressway landtakings in the north end of Fall River. "That broke the hearts of people in three parishes," he said. ' He Cites also the moving of many parishioners to suburban towns as '3 factor in dwindling membership, but 路he is confident that conditions will improve and that St. Joseph's wiJI be reinvigorated.

Over the years Tomlinson has had many ties with present Fall River pastors. He recalls that he and Msgr. Daniel Shalloo, now pastor of Holy Name parish and

MARIAN AWARD: Bernie Tomlinson, lifelong member of St. Joseph'S parish, Fall River, with his wife Madeline and Marian Medal, awarded for distinguished service to diocese. general manager of The Anchor, were eighth graders together in St. Joseph's school. And in 1925 when Msgr. Sullivan, now St. Joseph's pastor, was a young curate in the parish, Tomlinson served him as' an a~tar boy. Mrs. Tomlinson has for many years been a rectory housekeper.

Tomlinson's small dry cleaning business on the corner of Hood and North Main Streets has always been a hub of parish activ-

Number of Communica'nts Rises As Mass Attendance Drops CINCINNATI (NC) - Attendance at Mass here continued to decline gradually while the percentage of Mass-goers receiving Communion continued to ,rise gradually in the past year.

This is shown in figures prepared by the Cincinnati chancery office based upon reports of Sunday Mass attendance and reception of Communion in all churches of the archdiocese in October, 1972.

The figures show a decrease of three and one-half per cent in attendance at Mass from that of October, 1971, or a total decrease of 11,439.

In the preceding year, the decrease was slightly more than three per cent, or 10,282.

Of the 311,926 persons going to Sunday Mass last October, on the average, 59 per cent received Communion - the highest ratio recorded in the annual October count. Last year the percentage was 57, and the year before it was 55.4.

Mass attendance in the archdiocese 10 years ago-October, 1962 - totaled 336,157. It continued to increase yearly until it reached its peak - 366,581 - in 1966. By 1967 it had dropped less than a percentag~ to 363,922

and each year thereafter it has continued a gradual decline. Total Catholic population in the archdiocese ~is approximately 530,000.

Twenty years ago the percentage of Mass-goers in the archdiocese receiving Holy Communion rose to 29, a new high, following Pope Pius XII's easing of the Communion fast .

Ten years ago, 39.5 per cent of those attending Mass received Communion,and five years ago it was about 50 per cent.

Msgr. Henry J. Vogelpohl, chancellor, said that he considered any decline in Mass attendance "surprising" and unwelcome. "I certainly would like to see the figures take a turn for the better," he said.

However, he added, a "realistic" appraisal of the figures indio cated that "they certainly could be worse."

"I don't think anyone can find the answer to the decline in any one factor," he said. "Some people who stay away are dissatisfied with change. You would almost have to make an analysis of the figures and the causes each in each parish community in order to draw correct conclusions."

ity. In addItion to being a headquarters for selling of tickets and chances, it was often a warm haven .for parochial school youngsters on chilly days, and many was the call placed from the store telephone to parents to request "a ride home."

Information Source The store has been in business since the mid-1930's, and previous to that time Tomlinson operated a variety s~ore across the street, next door to his home. He has, therefore, centered his life in the immediate area of St. Joseph's Church, and he's depended on by mailmen and other delivery people as a ready source of information as to who lives where in the neighborhood.

He laments the old days, however, when North Main Street was a cobbled thoroughfare and horse-drawn carts were still a common sight. "People were friendlier then," he said. "They had more time for each other."

In addition to his churchrelated activities, Tomlinson has found time to work with Boy Scouts, serve as secretary of the Democratic City Committee for 18 years, and paTticipate in many fund-raising campaigns. For two years he was a trustee of the former Bradford Durfee Textile Institute in Fall River.

Visits Chileans In Australia SANTIAGO (NC) - Cardinal Raul Silva of Santiago paid a visit to some of the 30,000 Chilean Catholics who have migrated 10,000 miles across' the Pacific to Australia.

He went there in connection with the 40th International Eucharistic Congress, to be held in mid February in Melbourne, at the invitation of' Archbishop James D. Freeman of Sydney.

A report on conditions facing the newly arrived Chilean families prompted the cardinal's trip.

Some 8,000 live in Sydney.

The. main problems deal with adjusting to a new language and the job market. Some of the Chileans, who left their country after the advent of the Marxist regime of President Salvador Allende, belong to the upper professional class; still they had to take menial jobs.

Skilled factory workers are now servi~g as gasoline station attendants; doctors have taken up nurses' duties, probably waiting for medical board examinations; and engineers are doing odd jobs in construction and similar fields.

Church sources in Santiago said the Chilean Bishops Conference will send two priests to serve as roving chaplains for the large Chilean colony.

The conference is also studying conditions among some 400,000 Chileans now living in Patagonia, the southern Argentinian area bordering Chile.

Spanish-Speaking Catholics Meet CHICAGO (NC) - Spanishspeaking Catholics from the Midwest are meeting at the University of Chicago to continue promotion of a nationwide pastoral plan for the Spanish-speaking.

Called an "encuentro," the regional meeting was sponsored by the midwest office of the United States Catholic Conference's Division for the Spanish-speaking.

The first "encuentro" was held in Washington last June when leaders from Spanish-speaking communities across the nation laid <the groundwork for the pastoral plan.

The midwestern regional meethere was planned for 125 Spanish-speaking community and Church leaders. ~'""'"'~~""'~"","",""",~~",",,,F;,

Disenchantm,ent While we have all enjoyed the love affair with pant suits I see P. certain' disenchantment setting in. When the first pant suit came out, women hesitated to wear them for fear that they would look too masculine or too sporty-not appropriate for the work-a-day world. Gradually business establishmenl:s bowed to the popularity of the pant outfit and the pant suit was allowed to go to work.

At first women were very careful, they had won a small victory and they didn't want 10 abuse it.

Pant outfits were very carefully chosen, long jackets or long wesIdts were worn, keeping the business-like look rather than the sporty ones that the employers had feared.

Alas we all forget too easily - and during the past year or so I have noticed young women (and I'm sorry to say, even older ones) wearing pants and tops that would be more appropriate for bowling or watching a sports event than on the work-day scene.

Hip huggers, tight jerseys or f'weaters, body suits that reveal more than they concelll--do not belong in an office or a classroom. It's bad enough that some students are dressing in this sloppy manner but it's unthinltable that instructors should be doing it this way. too. This is why I predict that the dress will return with greater populal'ity than ever before.

Malta Bishops Stress Christian Principles VALLETTA (NC)-The Maltese bishops said that a'bill being discussed in parliament that would end criminaJ punishment for adultery and homosexuality will have implications f.or the moral life of Malta.

In a pastoral letter the bishops said that the bill, if passed, would not change the moral aspects of adultery and homosexuality. Both ads, they said, will continue to be grave sins.

Adultery is a moral and social disorder because it disturbs marital fidelity, family ties and the purity and dignity of love between married persons, the bish-. ops said.

In di.scussing homosexuality, the bishops said they recognize I and agree that sick persons reI quire. treatment and help instead of punishment, but they went on to add that Maltese society . should be protected by just laws from anything that threatens marriage, the family and true , love.

The bishops called for a public campaign to preserve the Christian principles of the country and to insure that tile Maltese family will remain founded on strong Christian principles.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Legis. lation to provide tax credilts for parents of pupils in nQnpublic schools is again before the House of Representatives, this time closer to the top of the heap of unfinished congressional business.

During the last session of Congress the bill, HR 17072, was ap" proved by the House Ways and Means Commi.ttee, but Congress adjourned before action could be taken on it.

During the new session of Congress the bill has been recodified as HR 49, indicating that it has gained higher p!iority for the House's unfinished business.

The bill would provide tax relief to low and middle-income parents for this education. The credit is 50. per cent of tuition paid up to a maximum of $200 per year for each child.

Rep. Gerald Ford, Republican House leader (R-Mich.), and Herman T.Schneebli (R-Pa.), senior Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, are the proponents of the bill for the new session.

The two legislators said they though,.t the bill's prospects were "very good" since it has the support of House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.).

Rev. Kenneth J. Delano, assistant at St. Joseph's Church, Fall River, will be guest speaker at the sixth annual meeting of the Greater Fall River Camp Fire Girls Council, to take place at 7:30 tonight at the Westport Middle School.

Father Delano's topic will be "The Inspiring Heavens." He is past chairman of the Northeastern Region of the Astronomical League and a member of the Lunar Planetary Observers, the British Astronomical Assn. and the Smithsonian Moonwatch Team.

C'riticiz,es Public Housing Halt

Last weekend, spurred by an irrepressible craving for homemade coffeecake, and 12 packages of yeast that were :tbout to "expire," I spent a day making yeast dough. I found a recipe in my "Freezer Cook Book" that i$ supposed to make enough dough to last a family for a month. cause he rarely says two words With my eight kids, I figured around the house.

Not Bad! it would last about two days.

I hadn't baked in years, and now I wonder why. There is something therapeutic about Imeading a batch of dough. I

don't know if it's the physical exertion it requires, anticipation of all the goodies to eat, or something of a primitive instinct that makes you want to do something old-fashioned.

The recipe called for using a very large bowl. I don't have any bowl big enough, and used two large soup pots.

My oldest son came in with his girl fricnc:;l. She looked over the tremendous pots of stuff, and asked, "What are you doing? It smells funny?"

Two seconds later, she was helping knead dough.

I'll never forget the first time I tried to knead dough, years ago. The recipe I was using said that if the dough stuck to your fingers, simply add a bit more flour. It didn't say what to do if you had the dough stuck all the way up to your elbows.

Good Blocks By the time I added enough flour so I cou~d handle the dough, I had bread that would have made excellent building blocks.

I finally learned that you DON'T add more flour ... you keep buttering your hands!

We soon had two pots of dough rising on the stove. The kids wanted to know if it was growing because the yeast is alive. When l punched it down,' one of the little ones wailed, "You killed it!"

After d~nner, four loaves of bread were rising while I was rolling out cinnamon buns and coffeecakes. As the kids were getting ready for bed, the house was filled with the inimitable fragrance of yeast bread, cinnamon, brown sugar and currants.

One of the girls was in th~ kitchen as I took the first pan from the oven. "Go check who's still awake. Anyone who wants can have some cinnamon buns."

In seconds the kitchen was cra'wling with kiids.

"Boy. '. Mom . . . this is GOOD!" "Can I have another?"

"Why don't you make this all the time?"

My number two son was on the telephone with a girl who lives around the corner. When he's not there, and she's not here ... they're on the telephone.

He excused himself from the conversation for a minute, ran to the kitehen, grabbed a bun, and was back Ol~ the phone in a flash.

I don't know what he talks about for l'ours to the girl be-

As he was headed back to the phone, he called, "Not bad, Ma!" Seconds later he was back in the kitche,. "Can I have two buns and go meet. my girl friend on the corner? She's got a roast beef sandwich. She'll trade me half a sandwich for the two buns."

He was out the door, and back ... munching on his half of the sandwich.

Then, back on the phong ...

He hadn't hung it up. They still had to compare notes on the shared snack.

Twenty minutes later, he came down looking for more buns.

I asked, "How was your sandwich?"

"Good. But she says your cinnamon buns are great!"

The next morning the kids took sandwiches to school on homemade bread'. That night, we had a bedtime snack of hot coffee cake.

For me it was a sort of caloric "lost weekend." I found all I lost the next morning when I got on the scale.

Pope Paul Establishes Committee for Family

vATICAN

CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has set up a Committee for the Family to forge a unified pastoral, approach to the family throughout the Catholic Church and its administrative offices here in the Vatican.

Cardinal Maurice Roy' of Quebec is president. He is also president of the Pontifical Commissions for Justice and Peace, and Vatican Council for the Laity.

The new Committee will be "linked with the Council for the Laity, without" however, being dependent upon it," an official statement of the Vatican press offlice specified. ' Its functions will be to follow problems of marriage arid the family as they evolve, to receive and distribute information about the family, to maintain contact with all national or international efforts to promote family values, and to develop a pastoral approach "aimed at the good of ' the family and its members."

Argentine Bishop Bans Politics in Sermons BAHIA BLANCA (NC)-Archbishop Jorge Mayer, disturbed at . arguments in several churches, has asked for an end to Mass disruptions over politically oriented sermons.

The Bahia Blanca prelate asked priests to deliver sermons "within a framework of charity and prudence" and he asked parishioners to bring their objections to priests only after Mass has ended.

During a Mass in the cathedral at the end of December, Father Oscar Barreto said that conditions were such in the area that if Christ should come to earth again "he would be a Marxist too."

Vanier, the son of a former governor-general of Canada, is the founder of L' Arche (the Ark) Association, an international movement that has established residences and workshops for the mentally retarded in France, India and Canada.

The mentally retarded, Vanier told an audience here in India, "are a problem 'for parents, particularly among poor families.

Board Halts Abortion Coun~seling Referrals ST. PAUL (NC)-The Dakota County Welfare Board has voted unanimously to stop its social workers from referring clients to abortion counseling services.

The social workers for the past five months 'had been following a recommendation of the state Department of Public Welfare that names of abortion referral services be provided when necessary.

Abortion counseling services are not licensed in Minnesota.

The referrals were therefore to out-of-state counseling services. rt had been argued by pro-abortion groups that the referrals to out-of-state services were 'both legal and ethical.

But spokesmen for Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Human Life had raised questions about the legality of the referrals.

DENVER (NC) - News that the White House plans a moratorium on public housing drew an angry response from Auxiliary Bishop George Evans who is in charge of the housing program for the Denver archdiocese. . "I think it is terribly distressing," Bishop Evans said. "It just seeres to me that we do have a lot of problems but the government instead of working for solutions says that the problems are too great and therefore we will stop the entire program ..."

The bishop said that he was truly fearful that the moratorium would go into effect "unless there is a great enough national outcry to stop such a moratorium."

The bishop pointed out that the archdiocese has five housing sites in Denver, and that new housing programs are under study at three or four other sites.

He expressed concern that the proposed housing will be stopped, at least temporarily.

A moratorium would halt construotion of some 150 new housing units, said Bishop Evans.

Bishop Evans said that he believes the government is following the wrong approach in trying to solve the problems of public housing by declaring moratorium.

The more logical approach would be for the government to take steps to solve Ithe problems and to cure the things that are wrong. The task is so great, the bishop said, that only the federal government can solve it.

President·Mediates With GenerQlI For Fair Relief to Quake Victims SAN JOSE (NC)-As charges of hoarding relief against Nicaraguan National Guardsmen were • confirmed by thousands of vicUrns of the Managua earthquake fleeing here, Costa Rican President Jose Figueres mediated with.

Nicaragua's dictator.. Gen, Anatasio Somoza, to ease tensions.

President Figueres paid a ' quick visit to Nicaragua's ravaged capital to ask local authorities for greater freedom of move· ment for Costa Rican relief squads whose efforts were curtailed ,by the highly centralized Somoza organizations.

As thousands of refugees ar· rived in Costa Rican towns along the Inter-American Highway, they told and re~ld the story of how they went hungry and without medical attention, as tons of relief lay in Managua's airport or in' government-controlled i warehouses and .emergency star tions.

Newspapers, _radio and tele~ vision stations were 'Voicing public protest over the' alleged hoarding. The Costa Rican National Committee for Aid -to Nicaragua issued a protest. "against the delaying tactics of Nicaraguan authorities" regarding transportation and distribution of relief to the civilian victims of the Dec. 23' earthquake.

WASHINGTON (NC)-In separate but similarly bleak financial statements, the Brooklyn and Pittsburgh dioceses have an· nounced that they are operating deeply in the red. ", The Pittsburgh financial report showed a deficit of slightly more than $1 million for the fiscal year that ended last June :-10. The Brooklyn report showed that in the first nine months of 1972 the 1.5 million member diocese operated at a deficit of more than $800,000.

Bishop Francis Mugavero of Brooklyn said that the statement was issued to "underscore the 'critical nature of the fiscal situa,tion of ,the diocese, created by escalating costs of operating ele· mentary and secondary schools and ,the increasing amount of diocesan support to. needy par· ishes."

Brooklyn officials put the "fi;nancial strains" on the diocesan 'pursestrings her~n this order: schools, aid to immibrrants, and the support of deficit operations, such as some 'a-gendes of Cath· olic Charities, which are unaided by government or other funding.

For half of the Catholics in the :see English is a second language.

Many are Spanish-speaking, and some neighborhoods have undergone vast, swift changes.

One result is that once-solvent parishes suddenly have found ,themselves depleted of parishioners and money.' Among the expenditures last year was $2.~ '801,552 for interest·free loans for 27 needy parishes, 2S of which operated elementary schools.

made up of cabinet ministers, bank and management executives and heads of soCial organizations.

Father Armando Alfarp, the -committee's .executive director and president of the Social Aid Institute here, said returning from Managua that much of the delay and apparent disorganiza· tion in food and clothing distri· bution "was not so much due to the panic and sudden shock of the first days after the tragedy, as. to the system and attitudes created by a long dictatorship."

Other members of the committee said no matter how hard they tried to keep politics out of the relief work, indignation among the people had to be satisfied regarding fair distribution before more aid could be expected.

Father Alfaro said "freedomloving Costa Ricans would not put up with the hand of dictatorship at a time like this."

Warns Soldiers International pressure from other quarters, especially relief organizations and the International.Red Cross, observers said in Managua, began to show results in a more organized and generous distribution of aid by the end of the year. The National Guard opened warehouses and depots to trucks and other vehicles, which immediately began .. runs to emergency stations on Managua's outskirts and in such inland, crowded cities as Granada, Leon and Masaya.

Gen. Somoza said he had warned his own soldiers against looting or hoarding .and promised "to court martial any guardsman guilty of hoarding or profiteering from relief goods."

He added he was personally supervising the quick distribution of. food, clothing and medicines, but many relief coordinators said this was the trouble in the first place. None of his aides moves on his own initiative but waits for word from "the. general."

Charges ,of profiteering and hoarding were rampant during the first stages of the relief ef· fort. Relief squads from Costa Rica and other neighboring nations said refugees by the hundreds complained they were not getting aid, because members of the National Guard were routing assistance to their families, i:1cluding drinking water, a pre· cious element during the first .days.

Inventory of Art 'Suggested To Curb Church Plundering SANTA FE (NC)-A group of scholars and churchmen, troubled by the plundering of churches, have asked for a massive inventory of religious art and historic documents in America.

The second Conference of Colonial Religious Art which met here called on the Latin American Bishops Council (CELAM) and the Organization of American States (OAS) to join in the effort to preserve the religious heritage of the Americas.

The frequent thefts of art. ob· jects, usually unguarded and unrecorded, from' churches· in the U. S. Southwest, Latin America and Europe in recent years prompted the meeting.

Most of its recommendations, just released by the International Institute of Iberian Colonial Art here, draw heavily from a document on the preservation of reli· gious art issued by the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy in April, 1971, saying this heritage is "the patrimony of all man· kind," Delegates from the Vatican, the United States, .Portugal, Spain and 14 nations in Latin America who gathered here for a week said two practical steps should be taken:· an inventory using modem methods and a broad campaign to educate the people on the value and place of religious art and documents.

MADRID (NC) - There are eight masterworks of religious art among the 12 "most wanted" stolen pain~ings sought by Interpol, the international police organization.

Among a list of stolen masterworks circulating among muse· urns, art dealers, cultural institutions and government agencies in 114 countries are: "Madonna and Child" by Masaccia, taken from an exhibit in Florence, Italy, in March 1971.

"The Virgin and the Rose Bouque" by Malltin Schogauer, stolen from the church of St. Martin in Colmar, France, last January.

A set of religious paintings by an unknown Italian artist of the 14th century, taken from the Paris city Museum in November 1971.

"Madonna and Child" by Giovanni Bellini, taken in May 1970 from an art ·museum in Pavia, Italy. .Corregio's "Holy Family," taken the same day from the Pavia museum, a 15th century wood tripych - a three panel small altar piece-which depicts Mary holding Jesus and two saints. It disappeared in June of 1971 from an exhibit in Brussels, Belgium.

Caravaggio's "Nativity," stolen from the church of St. Lawrence in Palermo, Italy, in October 1969. .

A Rubens' school painting of "Madonna and Child" with St. Ann and St. John, taken from the same Brussels exhibit the same day.

Interpol reported that 'more than 1,00 pieces of art have been stolen from museums, churches and private colledions.

Their concern covered architectural treasures - churches, convents and other buildings and the whole range of their contents: sculpture and paintings, furniture, pulpits, musical instruments, chalices, monstrances, vestments, lamps, tapestry, stain: glass windows, documents, books; music manuscripts and signs.

Suggest Inventories When issuing the Vatican document, III source explained how Vatican authorities "have for a long time been disturbed by the appearance in Rome's famed Flea Market, and in similar second-hand bargain centers of Paris, London, Naples, not to mention antique shops' in cities of Amerfca, of religious articles , used in the liturgy," The congregation's document said that every chancery office should draw up an inventory of .sacred buildings and objects out· standing for historical and artistic value.

The Santa Fe conference took up this point, adding that national bishops conferences and local bishops "should implement in concrete manner" the Vatican directives.

Educational Campaign Dioceses and other Church units should open their archives for research, should cooperate in the creation of religious art plu' seums and in publishing collections of manuscripts, the dele· gates stated.

They strongly recommended coordination and uniformity in the effort, and entrusted to CELAM and the OAS the technical aspects of a general archive or registry.

Also attending the meeting here were experts from the UNESCO, and from several governments in Latin America.

Regarding public awareness of religious art the conference asked for a "joint educational campaign of information and education in order to motivate people in the appreciation of the cultural values embodied in the religious art of each community."

The delegates asked that CELAM establish a religious art section with the role of encouraging the education campaign and the inventory.

A review meeting will take place in Spain in 1974, delegates said.

SANTIAGO (NC)-The Chilean bishops have called for a "clean fi8ht" in the forthcoming elections . as a means of keeping peace in this politically divided nation.

"We are going to have two months of intense civic competition, a legitimate, healthy electoral contest which must come for the good of the people," the bishops said. ' "He who puts up' a clean fight is a man of peace and love. But those who fight with hate and resort to lies, deception, calumny, insult and violence, those are the 'worst enemies of Chile and of peace."

Chile is holding congressional elections March 4, with Marxists, Christian democrats and rightists vying ·for control of the House and Senate.

The bishops issued. their call in a commentary to Pope Paul VI's 1973 World Day of Peace message. They endorsed the Pope's statement that "peace is possible" and added: "Indeed, peace is possible in Chile also."

A growing polarization between the right and left have kept the country for months on the verge .of Civil conflict, a situation made wors~ by inflation and the scarcity of food and basic goods.

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick I

It is an odd time to write a column on baseball, but I have just read I} book th~t is perfect for the fan who yearns for the coming seasoq. Baseball is old hat now and is waning in public appeal, hut it is the one sport which . manages to hold my undying I ' attention. I admit that I can My own children and" most of their friends find the kitchen a no longer recite the lifetime very 'comfortable place to be. batting average of every Red (This does create a bit of a probSox player, nor can I play initials I with the best of them as I could. formerly, but a warm spot lingers in my heart as I look back at the fun I had following lind playing , the game.

Now Roger Kahn has written "Boys of Summer," a book about the Brooklyn Dodgers of the early 1950s. In addition to dis· cussing his personal assoc,iation . with the club as a sports writer for the New York Herald Tribune, he revisits the most famous and lessrenowned players as they are living today and describes their lives and attitudes toward the game after leaving it.

II

Inside View Interviewed are the greats of the team, Jac.kie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Preacher Roe and Carl Erskine as well as Carl Furillo, George Shuba, Joe Black, Andy Pafko, Woonsoeket's Clem Labine and others. Peewee Reese was a childhood favorite of mine, along with Billy Cox, and they too appear here.

Roger Kahn obviously enjoys baseball and tries in this book to present an inside view of what the game is about by concentrat· ing on the personalities and prob· lems of the players as he saw them then and sees them now.

He has not tried to write an expose of baseball (although much of what he writes Boutin would have Jiked to have had in his books), but he does throw some light on the realities of baseball and its effects on the professionals who make their living at the game.

,

He cannot hide his great admiration for Jackie Robinson and he makes no apologies fo'r his horror of the treatment of the black in baseball, so that the book does have its biases. However, Kahn can be forgiven his "angles" and his emotionalism in bringing us this great treat. This is one of those must books for every baseball fan adult enough to overlook a generous sprinkling of four letter words, much in the vein of Jim Boutin.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Jan. 18, 1973

All World's, Families 'Need Food, Schooling, Hope The Church is not unaware of the scale of the population explosion in our day. The discovery of this fact is, after all, fairly recent. Only 30 years ago, the demographers in Western Europe, looking at countries like Britain or France or Sweden, were plotting the exact year in which safe periods by drugs or time, tables or whatever, demand a these communities would die cultural setting in which prudent out sin c e they were no behavior on the part of parents longer producing enough babies to make up for adult deaths. It is only in the post-war censuses covering the whole world com-

By BARBARA WARD

munity that the runaway character of population growth has become apparent. Today, the prospect that by the end of the century - only 30 years away - the world's population will be growing by a billion every 10 years, has begun to change our whole understanding of the problem.

In the introduction to Humana~ Vitae, Pope Paul VI recognizes the potential gravity of this vertiginous increase. The Encyclical argues, however, that the "safe period" and the rhythm method, being, as it were, implanted in man's biological structure, are the p~rmissible way of dealing with the problem of "re: sponsible parenthood"-in other words of not bt'inging more children into the world than first the family and then the local society and then the whole planctary community can nourish, cduc.ate and support.

Safe Period At the same time, the Encyclical recognizes that we do not yet know all that we should about the cycles of fertility which underlie the safe period.

They do, in fact, vary very greatly from woman to woman and from age group to age group.

Moreover, research has some questions to ask about the consequences of using the method without knowing more about its real nature. In fact, at the be-, ginning of the 19th century, nobody had ever heard of the safe period and it is only gradually that research has been directed towards understanding its true significance.

It is for this reason that Pope Paul called in Humanae Vitae for more scientific enquiry into the whole question of the rhythm method for, clearly, if it were possible, by improved understanding, 'methods and possibly drugs, to make it absolutely safe, then the result would be to abate a great deal of the controversy over the official Catholic position. Whether, as a result of scientific intervention, the means would then be less "natural" is [l question that h2s obvious imDiications for <lny 3.ttcmpt to de':'j'"" "natural '.aw" in this con'I

con~eivable.

Better Tribute It is a simple fact al:>out our world today that the more or less Catholic societies iri the developed parts of the planet like developed Protestant, Communist, humanist or unbelieving societies - have lower birthrates and a manageable rate of population increase. This is because, on the whole, in these countries, it is the thoughtful conclusion of parents that three or four children, well nourished and well educated, are a better tribute to parental responsibility than a dozen children who grow up without adequate food, with shrunken minds and abilities and with a life expectancy of perhaps 10 years. The parents reach this decision because education and resources give them the facts upon which to base their judgment, They reach it, too, because their whole way of life underlines the need to produce healthy, educated children who can, themselves, grow up to be responsible citizens.

If parents did not in fact react to better knowledge and education by bringing to life smaller families, we might despair of the issue. No one wants govermental fiats and regulations which restrict the parents' most intimate and sacred rights of choice. Yet if Europe and America were each adding a couple of hundred million more children every decade - which an annual 3 per cent rate of growth might produce there would a'lready be question of governments "licensing" family size and penalizing the offenders who went beyond it.

Minimum Standard In fact, oi course, popUlation in Europe and North America is now growing slowly. The expansion is more or less manageable.

This is because the inducement to parents to produce the size of a family they can nurture and educate are of enormous cultural and social significance. But the obverse of this is that unless comparable conditions are spread to developing peopies, they will not know either how or why to exercise their responsibilities as parents.

It is precisely in the miserable teeming cities, in the stagnant hopeless countrysides that the number~ of children go up and up. If w~ want responsible, viable family life, we need not only better reseach into fertility but an all-out effort to give all the world's families a minimum standard of nourishment, schooling and hope.

Once again,' it has to be said that, in the world at large, it is impossible to take Humanae Vitae out of the context of Populorum Progressio. Where there is hope, there is responsibility.

Where there is none, the tide of unwanted births and neglected. children sweeps up to swamp thlC vcry foundations of society.

TEMPORARY SHELTER: With most of the buildings in the capital destroyed Managuans built temporary shelters to house their families. Even people whose homes remained standing wer~ afraid to return to them because of the threat of another earthquake.

Rebuilding Project in Nicaragua Continued from Page One "The involvement of the people is essential," Father d'Escoto said. "The people must be involved right from the beginning in planning and decision-making if the community is to thrive and be successful."

"Past experience has shown that when people are merely given housing, these areas soon develop into slums," said Father Hill, who had worked in South America for 15 years before being elected Superior General in December. "We are not interested in building potential slums."

The missioners' plans call for the construction of permanent homes, stores, churches, schools and other buildings vital to a community, The residents are to be selected by the trustees of the project based on the applicants'

Bishop to Observe Silver Jubilee

BELLEVILLE (NC) - Bishop Albert R. Zroweste, 71, will celebrate his silver jubilee as bishop of the Belleville diocese here Jan. 28.

Bishop Zuroweste was noted for his leadership in the Catholic press for almost 30 years. He was editor and manager of the Messenger, Belleville's diocesan weekly, from 1934 until his appointment as third bishop of Belleville in December, 1947. He was ordained a bishop on January 29, 1948, the feast of St. Francis de Sales, the patron of the Catholic press.

He served as assistant episcopal chairman of the National Catholic Welfare Conference's press department from 1952 to 1958, and chairman from 1958 through 1962.

Bishop Zuroweste was chairman of the U. S. bishops' press panel during the Second Vatican Council. He was also honorary president of the Catholic Press Association (CPA) from 1958 to 1962.

El1Iioying Our Gifls From God

You don't .show gratitude fori a gift by letting it lie around un'l used. Rust and dust are hardly: signs of appreciation. ,The one I who gave us a present hopes we: will use it and enjoy it and think: of him in connection with the' pleasure and the happiness it: brings us.

I God has given L1S so many: gifts. Is it hard to believe he I wants us t,) enjoy them? He gave: us the world and al1 that is in: it. Is it hard to beEeve that he: meant us be happy living in I it? What makes us afraid to I smile and enjoy Go<!.'s world? Is; there any better way to show gratitude and appreciation to our: loving, generous Father?

Still, a funny quirk in human religious temperament tends to I make people afraid 0:: enjoyment. !

Pleasure and fun and ordinary, human happiness dO::l't .feel reli- I gious somehow. People hesitate I to Unk enjoyment with G<>d, no' matter how hard he tries to sig- : nal that' they should, that he i wants them to.

This quirk appears in many re- i Iigious. It is somehow natural to i man. It indicates perhaps his: hatred of himself, his unwilling· , ness to accept the fact that he i is, after all~.a humble creature : of flesh and blood.

of enjoying the rock mus;cal, 'Godspell.' A contagious joy emanating from the cast gradually spreads through the audience.

Person after person has remllrk· ed to me about how full of Christian joy ·the experience of GOOspell was. Throughout the ~us­ ica,), Jesus~ressed like, a clown -and the Apostles--clothed like children - reaIly enjoy themselves as they sing, dance and pl~y. Their effusive merriment does not hide the deep seriQusness of Jesus' life and teacMng. Rather it highlights how serious· ly Jesus took what he himself described as the purpose of his life -to bring joy to people!(Jn 17:13).

Religious education has often neglected to place sufficient ~m· phasis on the play of enjoyment ' in Christian life. It is somewhat significant that a recent religion text for fourth grade has an early lesson entitled, "God caIls us to enjoy life." This was not a lesson in my own experience of ,learning God's commandments.

Called to Happiness Jesus himself enjoyed friehd. 'ship, work, food, drink, love, and the,other normal Joys of life. As a deveut Jew he was very famil· iar with the place the Hebrew Scriptures, our Old TestamElnt. gave to enjoying life's pleasu~es.

God caIled his people <to enjoyment as a normal part of leading a good moral life.

I The joys of life are part of God's promise to his people (Dt 28:3-8; Jer 33:11). He cllllls people to enjoy the pleasures' of married love (Qo 9:9), to take pleasure in the birth of a child (Ps 113:9). Good wants men a'nd women to enjoy work and to take pleasure in creative, productive labor (Qo 3:3).

Train for Enjoyment He expects people to enjoy eating and drinking (Qo 2:~4; 3:12). God gives man wine to help him be cheerful (Ps 104:15).

In Saint John's Gospel, Jesus is quoted ~s saying, "I came that. they might have life and have it to the full" (10:10). To have life is to possess all that there is to be enjoyed.

This is what they said to me when I asked them to give me some thoughts on enjoyment as they personally experience it.

"Peace and people are the real sum and substance of our enjoyment. We generally "enjoy" so much that it's difficult actually to ennumerate every experience significantly. The source of our enjoyment is hard to locate or identify. However, we really couldn't enjoy much without be· ing at peace-at peace with ourselves and with those around us~ Enjoyment is within us, it's our Ufe! Enjoyment Enjoyment is people; communicating with them, caring and sharing with them, interacting with them on every level and in every way - in our families, through civic involvement,' catechesis, industry, politics, etc.

Enjoyment comes to us through human things like hugs and kisses, closeness, smiles, cuddles -both giving and receiving these physical expressions of love

bring enjoyment'" to our' daily lives and are indispensable to it.

Creating everyday enjoyment for us and being able to share some of what our handsJ minds, and hearts have created each day is the source of more enjoyment.

Permeating our lives is the tr~­ mendous ~njoyment we experi~ ence in just knowing God's plan is unfolding through us and right in our midst. When a particular human situation is not enjoyable, the challenge of accepting it, trusting, caring, and managing it as part of all the reality G<>d chose to give us is actually part of our everyday enjoymerit which opens us up to greatness and 'adds to our capacity for joy.

Having material things like a car, a dishwasher, a can opener and a book around and available to continually and conveniently work out G<>d's plan is enjoyable, too!

Resents President's Firing Of Robert A. Podesta

In listening to or reading their descriptions it is easy to be foolec1 into thinking that their circumstances are so ideal it is easy for them to enjoy. To some degree this may be true, but in large part it is not. To cite only some of what could place a damper on 'a sustained attitude of joy, one of them has a young daughter who was born without an esophagus.

fired him from his post as Assistant Secretary of Commerce.

Podesta has been a loyal and diligent Republican for a long time and a loyal supporter of Mr. Nixon for as long as I've known him. He ('ven supported Nixon in 1960, a fact for which I hope his Irish ancestors will forgive him, though I shall not.

Four years ago he was ap· pointed head of the Economic Development Administration, an agency which supports incomeproducing' projects in underdevel-

Brothers Work With Priests GALLUP (NC)-A new community of Brothers has been formed to work in ,teams with priests in mission areas in the huge diocese of Gallup.

Bishop Jerome Hastrich of Gallup said the Our Lady of Guadalupe Brothers will aid mission priests in their work with Indians lind the Spanish-speaking in the 55,000 square miles of northern New Mexico and Arizona covered by the diocese.

The apostolate of the diocese cannot be filled by priests alone, Bishop Hastrich told The Voice of the SOllthwest, the diocesan newspaper here. Many areas of concern could be cared for by Brothers who would relieve the priests for more priestly duties, the bishop said.

The men are trained at Cristo Rey Seminary here in association with the priest candidates with whom they will serve.

The candidates learn office skills, bookkeeping, catechetics, domestic science, auto mechanics, and repair work under the guidance of experts in their fields. They will also be firmly formed in the spiritual life centered around the Eucharist, the bishop said.

The brochure on the brothers states: "The 'kind of individual that is needed for the brothers of Our Lady of Guadalupe is one who combi'les a contemplative and active Bfe. He must get his strength from the Mass, and Our Lord's Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. He must be a man of character, of reliability, of strength and stamina to weather the sforms, without having a fellow-brother to lean upon."

post. One highly placed White House staff member remarked to me a couple of years ago, "There aren't very many effective people over in Commerce. but he is at the top of the list."

Waste Talent Even more important was the reaction of the civil service personnel in the agency. As one said 'to me-without knowing of my friendship with his boss...:....Most of the business types that come to town fluring Republican administrations never learn what's going on and turn out to be rotten adminbtr~tors. Bob learned right away. What's more," and my inform.lOt shook his head in amused disbelief, "he actually seems to like the job. I guess that's why he's so good at it."

The EDA is that sort of American capitalistic venture that Richard Nixon, if he really were the kind of American Disraeli that Pat Moynihan has tried to persuade him that he is, ought to support with whatever 'vigor he is able to muster. But if you need money to bomb Asian coolies back to the Stone Age, you can't afford to support economic development in the United States.

So the EDA appropriations bill was vetoed and Bob Podesta was shipped back to Chicago (along with his boss, Secretary of Commerce Peterson, who spent too much time in Georgetown and was too friendly with Senator Percy for the beetle-browed troglodytes on the President's staff).

The Republicans obviously have a"large supply of intelligent, efficient and imaginative administrators and can afford to waste talent.

Smar~ Independent Podesta's real crime was not merely that he supported a program that the Disneyland lawyers who currently run the country didn't like. His sin was that he is smart and independent.

There is no room in the Nixon administration for anyone with those two qualities-as one can easily see in going over the list of his recent appointments. With the 'exception of, George Shultz, Mr. Nixon':; cabinet is one of the worst collection of nonentities ever assembled-fully as bad as the one Mr. McGovern would have put 'ogether (although his nonentities would have had Ph.D's).

The Podesta family will not starve. Nor· will Bob's restless, creative personality long lack for new challenges. The problem is not that one man has been stupidly 'and shabbily treated. The problem is that for four more years the country will be run by nitwits of negative I.Q's, while real talent, even real Republican talent, goes to waste.

It is probably the lesser of two evils. Mr. Nixon's nitwits may be preferable to Mr. McGovern's Harvard Ph.D's.

Bishops Urge Boycott Music Styles Vary

Liturgy and the Theater

Non-Union Lettuce COLUMBUS (NC)-·The Catholic bishops of Ohio have endorsed the boycott of non-union iceberg lettuce (head lettuce) after meeting here as the board directors of the Catholic Conference of Ohio. . The bishops issued a joint statement "in supporting the efforts of the United Farm Workers to implement their right Ito organize and bargain collectively."

"Without strong, honest representaHon such as can be provided by the United Farm Workers, the rlight of agricultural workers and their families will remain desperate. A fundamental issue of social justice is at stake," the bishops said.

The bishops urged the citizens of Ohio to purchase only iceberg that is clearly marked with the official United Farm Workers' label, the black Aztec eagle.

Peace Vigil Halted

One can find ample official documentation in support of liturgies like St. Mary's "Godspell" Mass. "Music in Catholic Worship," for instance, citing an earlier decree of our bishops, notes: "In modern times the Church has consistently recognized and freely admitted the use of various styles of music as an aid to liturgical worship." In another paragraph we read: "Good music of new styles' is finding a happy home in the celebrations of today."

This Mass produced an added joyous result for one member of the cast. The .girl's parents had for some t'me resented her entrance into the theater. However, after experiencing this unique Mass, hearing pulpit words about the Church and the arts, learning of religious drama in the medieval tradition, they changed attitudes and now accept their daughter and her profession.

Most of those arrested were released immediately.

and its schools were a whole new world for him. He was bright, and in time qualified for the best of the city's high schools.

But he quit school at 16, spent some time in military service, then decided to continue his education. He went first to Howard, the best known black university, transferred to Harvard, went on' to Columbia a,nd the University of Chicago. His graduate work was in economics, and he won a Ph.D., in that field.

He has done some work besides teaching, but most of his time has been spent in classrooms at Douglass College, Rutgers, Howard, Cornell, and U.C.L.A. Inferior Education In the course of )lis lifetime, there have been great changes in edt,ICation where blacks are concerned. Dr. Sowell favors farreaching change, so long as it is honest and constructive. But he malntains that much of the change he has seen has had neither of these qualities, and has been detrimental, rather than beneficial, to. blacks.

He is speaking primarily of the college and university levels. He is severe on black schools, saying that they knowingly provide' in· ferior education. This is not because young black men and I women are incapable of anything better. There is ample proof that great numbers of them are capable of far more, But these schools, according to Dr. Sowell, are mired in jnefficiency, for several reasons which he discusses.

As for the predominantly white colleges and universities, the author contends that prevailing policy tends to exclude or handicap competent blacks, while favoring those academically illsuited but fitting a pattern determined -by grotesquely mistaken political and sociological notions.

Continued from Page Sixteen held it against Jesus and his disciples that he "came eating and drinking and said 'this 'man is a glutton and a drunkard'" (Mt. 11.19). They had asked: "Why do J'ohn's disciples and those'of the Pharisees fast, while yours do not?" (Mk. 2,18).

The letter to the Colossians sums up that puritan approach as: "Don't handle this! Don't taste that! Don't touch the other!" And it 'adds that such an approach is a perversion of religion. "Such prescriptioris," it says "deal with things that perish in their use. They are based on merely human precepts and doctrines. While they make a certain show of wisdom in their affected piety, humility and bodily austerity, their chief effect is that they indulge men's pride (Coli. 2,22f.).

Over against this, the Christian tries to follow the simple path of loving gra~itude. "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all for ,the glory of God." "Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." '''All things are yours and you are Christ's and Christ is God's."

(Cardinal O'Boyle was long enga'ged in a struggle with some priests of his archdiocese who publicly refused to accept Pope Paul's 1968 condemnation of artificial contraception in the encyclical Humanae Vitae. He also has been active in the continuing struggle against abortion.)

The Pope also recalled Cardinal O'Boylp,'s social action programs, such as aid to children and the elderly, as well as his zeal for Catholic education.

Chaplain Describes Sni per Battle

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - The marquee outside the downtown Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge here was hardly appropriate: "If you're too tired to roam, come in and make yourself at home."

The streets of the business district, usually teeming with rush hour traffic, were deserted except for an occasional howling police car or an ominous blue armored vehicle which prowled the streets.

Down the block a battered police car, its windows shattered, blood caked over the lettering on the door, served as a grim reminder of the war which was raging between police and one or more snipers on the roof of the motor lodge.

Seven people, including three policemen and a roof-top sniper were dead. About twenty were left wounded and many questions remained unanswered.

Archbishop's Plea Archbishop Philip M. Hannan, who first heard of the battle while he was at dinner, went immediately to the hospital, which served as a clearing-house for the dead and wounded. He spent nine hours there, comforting the wounded and the relatives of the dead.

Archbishop Hannan offered himself as a hostage in place of other hostages who had been

held early in the battle. Police refused, calling the situation "too explosive."

Appearing on three local television channels Sunday evening, Archbishop Hannan pleaded with the people of New Orleans to stay together. "Just as black and white policemen and black and white firemen are working together in this," he said, "so must we work together as a community."

Father Rogers arrived at the scene immediately after a fireman answering an alarm at the motor lodge was gunned down as he climbed the ladder into the building. Father Rogers administered the last rites to the fatally wounded and comforted the less seriously injured.

Plans to Publish Letters to Prelate WASHINGTON (NC) - A new phase in the project to publish the writings of Archbishop John Carroll, the first U. S. bishop, has been announced by iFather Thomas O'Brien Hanley, editor of the Archbishop John Carroll Papers.

Speaking at a meeting of the 600-member John CarroH Society here, the Jesuit historian said he. was beginning work on a collection of letters written to the bishop.

"Bishop Carroll's correspondents were from all stations of life," said Father Hanley. He cltted President Washington and Madison and the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, 'as well as poor immi" grants, rural Americans, and or-. dinary family friends.

These correspondents, said Father Hanley, "provide in their letters a mosaic of life in society as well as in the American pilgrim Church."
