SAN FRANCISCO (NC) ­ The national director of the U. S. ehurch's program of lay volun­ teers for Latin America said here that there are 348 volunteers in 1'1 countries now and the num­ ber .is due to go up shortly. Father Raymond A. Kevane, who- heads the Papal Volunteers for Latin America (PAVLA) of­ fice in Chicago, said, "we expect the number of volunteers to in­ crease drastically in the next few years." To facilitate this, he said, PAVLA will establish its own training center in the United States. At present, it'sends vol­ unteers to training programs run by other groups. He would not disclose the site of the proposed center, but said that trainees would be given the opportunity for "supervised ap­ Dstolic work" with Latin Amer­ icans living in the diocese where the center will be located. Father Kevane and other PAVLA officials met here with PAVLA directors from five western dioceses at a one-day session, "the ninth and final' in a series' with diocesan directors across the country. Father Kevane also announced the appointment of Dr. Jose An­ tonio Baquero, 50, as special consultant to PAVLA. At pres­ ent, the new appointee directs the Institute of Latin American Studies, Mississippi State Uni­ versity. A native of Quito, Ecua­ dor, he has had long experience in education, law, politics and international relations. His diplomatic experience in­ cludes service as Consul of Ecua­ dor in Los Angeles; Ambassador of Ecuador to the United Na­ tions; and Special Envoy df Ec­ uador to Nationalist China, Tai­ pei, Taiwan.

The bill would also modify the rarely enforced state law that bars children from theaters un­ less accompa~ied by an adult. It would allow children between 8 a-d 16 to sit in special sections of theaters under the supervision of matrons. ­

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - The Archdiocese of Philadelphia bas requested $540,000 in Federal anti-poverty funds to set up two community centers providing ed­ ucational and other services for the needy and launch other pro­ grams for the poor. Jesse B. Clark, executive di­ rector of the archdiocesan Com­ mission for Economic Opportu­ nity, stressed that the proposed programs would be strictly non­ sectarian, would include no re­ ligious instruction, and would be open to al: eligible Persons regardless of creed. ' Clark said the archdiocese's plan calls for creation of two community centers in parochial school buildings in West and North Philadelphia. They would provide instruction in remedial reading for about 1,600 children and 270 adults. speech therapy,

cultural enrichment programs, home economics training, and medical, dental and legal sel'­ vices.

Other aspects of the program would include intensive psychi­ atfic treatment for 10 children a year at the child psychiatry cen­ ter of Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital, borne visiting by 30 qualified ­ women who would provide vari­ ous services to needy families, and visiting nurse, job referral and, counseling services.

Clark said a pilot project em­ bodying many aspects of the plan is already underway at Mother of Sorrows parish and other parishes. The Federal funds, if made available by the Office of Economic Opportunity in Wash­ ington, would be used to expand the center at Mother of Sorrows and open another at Our Lady of Mercy parish.

Discuss Plans

To Popularize

Bible-Reading ~

LONDON (NC)-Leading Biblical scholars from. Eur­ ope, including non-Catholic specialists, met in conference here to discuss plans for making the Bible more popular among .ordinary Catholics. Archbishop John Heenan of Westminster presided at one ses­ sion at which Father R.AF. Mac­ Kenzie, S.J. rector of Rome's Biblical Institute, told the 200 clergy and laymen in audience that the stage has now been reached in the Church's develop­ ment when they can criticize it without being classed "insubor­ dinate." Criticisms based on the Scrip­ tures would be regarded as "healthy and necessary," he said. Needed Function -"During the Reformation peo­ ple used the Bible to criticize the Church, its avarice and its worldliness," said Father Mac­ Kenzie, a Canadian and an ex­ pert at the ecumenical council. "Such a measurement of the Church against the standards of Scripture is just as valid today. Individuals must also apply them to the Church itself. It is a much-needed function." The current drive through the ecumenical council to popular­ ize the Bible and rehumanize the Church's teaching will make future mission work much more e'ffective than it has been during the past 200 years, he added. The Biblical movement is the "real revolution of the council's litur­ gical decree," he said.

B.oard Turns Down .Bible Study Plan PHILADELPHIA (NC) -The Pennsylvania board of education has rejected a plan by the Corn­ wall-Lebanon school district for a grade school course in the "literary and historic qualities" of the Bible. The board of education turned down the plan unanimously, commenting that it "fails to treat the Bible and other reli­ gious documents in a manner consistent with literary and his­ torical scholarship as required by reasonable educational stand­ ards and by the objectives of the proposed course itself." The U. S. Supreme Court in 1953 ruled out devotional Bible reading in public schools. One of the two cases in which the court took this action was from Penn­ sylvania. At the same time, how­ ever, the court specifically said that it was not forbidding aca­ demic study of the Bible and of religion.

Patience Needed There 'are still those who are finding it difficult to become accustomed to the use of the vernacular in the Mass. The Holy Father is not unaware of their feeling of discomfort and in an exhortation has asked them to be patient and to have Faith.' The decision of the Fathers of the Vatican Council to introduce vernacular into the Church's worship was prompted by the Holy Spirit and by the Fathers' pastoral concern that the worship of the Church give not only glory to God but be a rich source of instruction and inspiration to men. But change comes hard at times, to the young as well as to the older. That is why Pope Paul has asked that all embrace the changes with good will and with patience. It is not to be wondered at that some are disturbed at being asked to speak out at Mass while for years they were asked to be quiet. But i,t must not be forgotten th3it interior participa­ tion was always urged. The recent changes in the Hturgy are not just externals for the sake of externals. They aim 'at both exhibiting and encouraging internal union with Christ by asking people to participate more fully with the priest and with other worshippers. It would be a terrible mistake if people saw the liturgy in terms of externals only. Language and ceremonials are details-important, but still details. The aim of liturgy-union with God in and with and through Christ and together with one another-has been the same since the Last Supper and the Cross. Lan­ guage and ceremonials change and are updated to more perfectly fulfill that aim. All this is a work of patience. Christianity isa revolu-, tion that changes people's lives. It is not to be expected that this be done overnight. And so these recent changes must be, as Pope Paul asks, approached in a spirit of faith and with patience that understands that the human spirit will adjust to the changes, that the spirit of religion will be belped and enriched by these changes.

Christians and to Jews? We must know before we can love. So the Council urges Cath­ olics . to avoid expressions and judgments which do not repre­ sent fairly the positions of others, and tells us: "We must get to know the outlook of our separated brethren." MONDAY-The Conversion of St. Paul, Apostle. "Saul, why do you persecute me?" (first les­ son). We have so many ways of expressing the Church's identity with Christ, that the magnifi-. cence, the wonder, the awe of it escapes us. We have what were once ways of expressing this truth and are now cliches. On· this final day of the week of prayer for Christian unity, we have to try to revive our con­ sciousness of this mystery. if, as the Council says in its decree on ecumenism, "all who have been justified by faith in baptism are members of Christ's body and have a right to be calle4;l Christian, and so are with ' solid reasons accepted as broth­ ers by the children of the Catho- . lic Church," then they share this identity with us. TUESDAY St. Polycarp, Bishop, Martyr. "To love one another: that, from the first, was the charge given to you" (first lesson). Holiness, perfection, vir­ tue, discipleship - all of these are contained in that first, last and principal charge. The bishop, by office, and the martyr, by personal Witness, both illustrate how total and a11­ embracing and ultimate' Chris­ tian love must be. For the bish,. op's function is to love the Church, the community, the hu­ man race whose sign the Church is. And the m'artyr is one who is killed by those he loves, precise­ ly because he loves them. To­ gether, they are a combination that staggers, and perhaps con­ verts the imagination. W~DNESDAY St. J 0 h n Chrysostom, Bishop, Doctor. Now that the Liturgy of the Word is becoming so prominent again at Mass, with lessons be­ ing proclaimed from lectern rather than altar, perhaps we shall grow into the respect for the teacher of Christ's truth that characterized earlier Christians. If the family dinner table in Christian perspective is to be seen as an extension of the Eu­ charist, so the teacher and the· communication of truth will be· related by the Christian mind to the celebration of the Word.

Workmen are removing the plaster of the walls to reveal the original ar­ chitecture and appearance 0 f the building. They are strengthening the an­ cient floor to support the large crowds. The Cathedral was eompleted in 1540 after 26 yean of' construction. Today it is he­ ing given a new beauty. The somber tomb of Columbus con­ trasts with the hustle all about the church. The activity of the Cathedral reflects the excitement of the city for the coming Congress. The government is repairing state palaces and buildings and repairing the streets. The people are cleaning the long beaches and trimming the trees. A new airport terminal is under con­ struction to welcome visitors and a new highway will take them to the national shrine te Our Lady at Hiquey. The lei­ surely Latin life is giving way to bustling preparations. At the National Palace the offices of the General Secretary of the Congress are mastermind­ ing the vast arrangements. Every available room and taxi has been counted; travel agen­ cies have been alerted; bro­ chures are rolling off the pres­ ses.

By Mary Tinley Daly Mothers and fathers of America, sincerely cOncerned over the welfare of their children, have been shocked a.t a recent publication of "lists." Unbeknownst to teenagers and those slightly older, these "lists" have been sold at a ~rice of $2 for a 50-name list. Such Jis,ts, arranged geographical- era! John A. Gronouski says: } . I d ' "Informal notices in each f1f y, me u e na~es sold to our 40,000 installations through­ buyers who thmk they are out America advise the publie getting "party girls" and other categories.

The lure of a 5 cent stamp for such a return is a~ost irresistible. Our children, boys, send away:for weights to lift; Our children, girls, send postage to "do away with teenage skin problems," to "have dimples in your cheeks," to "gl'OW two-inch eyelashes." Their names and addresse -e recorded. Lists are exchanged. Before long, mail grows expensive, at your house and ~ ours. And what does that mail contain? Take a look at Senate Hearings The Senate Juvenile Delin­ quency Subcommittee, under the chairmanship of Senator Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn.), is planning to open hearings next month or hi March on mail-order smut and the compilation and ex­ change of mailing lists that pro­ vide the market for dealers .. pornography. Asked how parents should deal with the problem in their own families, Senator Dodd tel. readers of this column: "There is no more effective way for parents to thwart the mail order business of the filth and pornography peddlers than openly to discuss the problem with their children. This is the first line of defense in the taw­ dry attempt to twist, misinform and seduce the minds of the young. "There is no question that m the normal family, parents are the ;final authority in these mat­ ters. "A child's birthright entitles him to' a set of standards of con­ duct no less than that of his par­ ents, and as a part of his educa­ tion he should be given that by his parents. "The legal issues posed by the smut peddlers, and there are many, are now being examined by the Senate Juvenile Delin­ quency .subcommittee and I CaJl assure you that they will be pressed to a final conclusion. "I would offer advice on one phase of this problem that could be a great public service. That is, that parents whose juveniles have been approached by' the ' smut peddlers take up the mat­ ter with the loCal postal auiliM­ ities or law. enforcement oHiciallt wherever and whenever poe­ mble."

It···

that objectionable mail may be returned to the Post' Office, or turned over to a postal inspector for investigation. "In our program of enforcing the obscenity laws we have the aetive cooperation of the Justice Department and numerous" state and local law enforcement agencies. "Th" ere IS no questIon that por­ nography-of the hard care pru­ rient kind-does exist in consid­ erable quantity. "There is no doubt in our mind that the American publie, through the Congress, has im­ posed upon the Post Office De­ partment the obligation to con­ trol that trnffic, and has provided it with adequate and satisfactory measures permitting such eontrol-without censorship." The Postmaster General e:lf­ plains that his department exam­ ines every case then makes aa administrative judgment as to ,the possibility of a violation, lIsing the Supreme Court's deci­ sion in the Roth case as a guide­ line. The decision on obscenity, he maintains must lie with the courts. "When court action is under­ taken," the Postmaster General says, "the determination ill speedy and justice is exacted with a minimum of delay anel red tape." Arrests for violation' have grown from 315 in 1959 to 805 last year; convictions, from 2~ to 627 in the same period.

Book Talk Slated At Catholic Club

By Joseph and Marilyn ROderick In last week's article, my wife mentioned the fact that I start my seeds in a cold frame. She described it as' a box with a glass cover." This is essentially what a cold frame is. For those of you who like to have a show of annual color in the garden and would like to each member of the family other experience the fun of giow­ than the day on which they were mg flowers or vegetables born, and that is their name from seed, a cold frame is in­ day. This is the day the church dspensable. There are cold frames on the market, but they , are so simple to construct, that any man can make one in no time at an. I have one now, but I plan to construct a larger one for March. I will use odd pieces of lumber to construct a rectangular box about six inches higher in the back than in the front. For the cover of my frame I am going to use an old storm window, so I will construct the base to fit the window. My cold frame will have a plywood bottom, partly because I have, the plywood available and partly because I like the frame to be movable, 80 that I can take advantage of . the sun or shade, depending on what I think desirable at the time. I will use two by twOs for support for the comers and hinge the window so that I can, lower 'or raise it dependirig 'on the weather. , _ Do not paint the inside of such 'a frame, because the chem­ Ical' composition of the paint may b'einjurious to seedlings. In early March I fill iny frame with a mixture of soil composed 01 about three parts sand to one part moss, covering about an inch of manure. I water this thoroughly and plant seeds in rows in the frame. I cover the frame with canvas to keep out . the sun until well after the Ileedlings appear. After seedlings have grown to approximately a quarter of an inch I.remove the cover to allOw. sunlight to shine on them. Dur­ ing this time I watch tor signs, of -damping off," that is; fungus II'Owth caused by excess water­ ing and lack of ventilation. Wh...l the seedlings have grown toa healthy size I usually water them with a liquid fertilizer and thin them out so that they are DOt too crowded. From then on, it's just a matter ef making sure that they are given ample sunlight and venti­ lation. When the danger of frost has passed it is a simple matter to transplant the little plants to wherever they are to be grown In the garden.

calendar has set aside as the feast day of our patron saint. Each of us has a patron saint which we acquired at Baptism, aM this saint should really be our special friend. In Helen Mc­ Laughlin's book, My Nameday, Come For Dessert she advocates the celebrating of this day, a custom that has almost faded into oblivion. She states, "Name­ days are a means of strengthen­ ing the faith of our children, of drawing them closer to the Com­ munion of Saints." Along with a complete day-by-day calendar of saints, her book contains recipes for nameday desserts and special hints such as prayers, stories and symbols for making this a per­ sonal feast. All this may seem like a lot of work to the busy mothers of. today, especially those who are combining a career with a home, but the enjoyment that the chil­ dren derive from this extra ef-, fort makes it worthwhile. When oUf, children watch us take down . ·the ,Christmas tree without a wQre1. ' but, refuse to relinquish, their: Advent calendar we feel ' it is a step in the right direction.

Asks Schola rship Value Increase In New Jersey

WASHINGTON (NC)·­ President Johnson, Vice President Hubert H. Hum­ phrey and other government

TRENTON (NC) - ~v. Richard J. Hughes has asked the New Jersey Legislature for an increase in the max­

leaders attended a joint Cath­ olic - Protestant - Jewish service on Inauguration Day morning. The service, held at the Presi­ dent's request, took place yester­ day at the National City Chris­ tian Church, which Mr. Johnso. frequently attends. Some 1,200 invited guests were present, in­ cluding members of the Supreme Court, Congress and the cabinet, governors, other government of. ficials, and personal friends of the President. Dr. George R. Davis, church pastor, opened the service with an invocation and led the con­ gregatiOIi in the Lord's Prayer. A Scripture reading by Rev. Floyd S. Smith, associate minis­ ter of the church, followed. Then came prayers by Msgr. J. Leroy Manning, chancellor of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, and Rabbi Stanley Rabinowitz of Addas Israel Congregation here. Dr. Billy Graham, Baptist evangelist, then gave a medita­ tion. The service closed with a prayer of dedication and bene­ diction by Rev. William Baxter of St. Mark's Episcopal Church here.

imum amount for which state scholarships are granted because of the disparity of education costs between state and private colleges. In his annual message to the legislature the governor said "rising costs of private colleges' combined with inadequacies of space in state-supported institu­ tions have rendered our program of scholarship assistance inade­ quate." $600 Maximum Currently, the state grants scholarships to up to five per cent of each year's high school graduating class. The scholarship is worth $400 and may be used at the college of the student's choice and, 15 per cent of them may be used for out-of-state study. .The governor noted that to date more than $14 million in scholarship aid has been given the state and more than 11,000 persons hold scholarships. But he said the $400 scholarship "is realistic only in terms of at­ tendance at the state-supported institutions." He recommended a program of incentive grants which would provide additional assistance up to a maximum of $600 a year re­ lated to financial need and the' institution chosen by the student. Restricts Choice Under the pref:ent set-up, he said, "the recipient, faced with the substantially higher tuition costs of the private college, has little freedom of chQice." His program, he declared "would enable a greater number of worthy New Jersey students to select private colleges and at the same time make a corre­ sponding reduction in pressure of the demand for places in the state-supported institutions."

"While certain of its aspects have to be thoroughly studied, it constitutes an important break­ through towards the ultimate goal of obtaining equality for the children studing in religiously' oriented schools," according to Rabbi Morris Sherer, executive vice president of Agudath Israel . of America. 'He has testified sev­ eral times before Congressional eomrilittees in favor of Federal aid to parochial schools.

Labor Party GovernlYlent <:~uses Concern LONDON (NC)-Catholic ed­ ucators in England and Wales are worried about the future of the country's Catholic schools under the new Labor party gov­ ernment. 'Catholics have bought them­ selves a big stake in the national welfare state's free secondary education system to the tune of some $140 million since World War IT and are-planning to spend many millions more. Catholic religious orders and congregations also own and run some 600 private fee-charging schools and colleges outside the state 'system. Comprehensive Schools The Labor party leaders, though socialist in intent, are staunchly 'committed to the dem­ ocratic. freedoms and are no more likely than the right-wing Conservative party regimes be­ fore them deliberately to deprive

Catholics of the right to have their own' schools. On . a strictly practical basis, despite secularizing rrtinority pressures, they could not affold to endanger the 'big Catholie vote which is largely pro-Labor. But a new difficulty is the official blessing given to' the all-absorbing all-providing com­ prehensive schools. These huge secondary schools, 110W rising in some crowded residential areas, are staffed by an almy of teach­ ers, expensively equipped and accommodating a1l. streams of education; filtering 2,000 or more youngsters through the whole of their school lives tel employment or college. They cost two to three million dollars each to build . Catholics would have to find. a quarter of that sum under present arrange­ ments to get into 'the state sys­ tem. ThUs their schools could be

Asserts Cathonc Programs Drive Audience Away

1"

NE WORLEANS (NC) ­ SoIlle current Oatholic radio and television programs may be driving listeners and view­ ers away instead of attracting them, according to two articles in Airtime, publication of the Catholic Broadcasters Associa­ &~ . Msgr. Elmo L. Romagosa, edi­ tor of Airtime, says in one of the articles that the typical radio rosary program is a "bomb" that repels non-Catholic listeners. The second article, prepared by the communications center of the Chicago archdiocese, says too many national Catholic televi­ ·sion programs are aimed at the "intelligentsia" instead of the "beer and bowling set." Recommends Guide The articles says national Catholic programming should be directed to '.'a mass level audi­ ence, not to a handful. of en­ lightened souls." It recommends that the bishops set up a national radio and TV· office to guide Catholic broadcasting. Msgr. Romagosa raises the question of whether the rosary is "ideal or even satisfactory broadcast material." "Potential llsteners, mostly non-Catholic, know nothing of the meditative aspect of the rosary," he says. "Repelled by repetitive prayers which appear monotonous to them, they in­ stinctively tum to dilll flipping. In.every case, God, as well as the station, stands to lose a listener."

Prelate Scores 'LiberaI Thinken'··.

B.ELLEVIL'L:E (NC) - Bishop AlbertR. Zuroweste of Belleville criticized "liberal thinkers" and "New Age theologians" who he said have distorted the real meaning of the Second Vatican Council. "Let me assure you," the Illi­ nois prelate told 800 persons at a Confraternity' of Christian Doc­ tdne banquet, "that these writers and so-called experts, who 'have confused you, are not the official voice of the Church." _ ''They do not compris'e the teaching body of the Church and may be questioned by any mem­ ber of the Church," he declared. He also criticized reporting about the council, saying "the writer or speaker who does not express an extreme opinion gets no press cover~ge."

Pride Is Souree Bishop Zuroweste charged that the source of current criti­ cism of the Church is "pride, a pride born of a desire and hope that the Church will change its divine doctrine." But, he added, "sin will always be sin and virtue will always remain virtue." While it is too soon to make final judgments about the coun­ cil, the bishop said, "let me as­ sure you that God is still in His heaven guiding and protecting the Church." "There is no need for alarm although the present moment may be one of confusion," he said. "It is confusion resulting from those who are atteJ{lPtiJlI

to' usurp the teach!ngauthority of the Church. "When all the decrees of the council are promulgated and the post:"conciliar explanations and statements issued, then we will be in a position to judge in proper focus Vatican Council II."

Denies Discrediting Trade

Unions in Latin AmericQ

By Msgr. George G. Higgins Several times during the past few years I have called attention in this column to the long-standing and increas­ ingly bitter controversy in Latin America between the unions affiliated with the regional unit of the International Federation of C h r i s t ian "This man is Mons. Higgins, Unions (CLASC). When I who unfortunately has been mis­ temporarily turned over the informed and who has always column last September to shown ill will towards Christian Father Andrew Greeley of Chi­ eago-to whom lowe a word of sincere thanks for his stellar performance as

1l pinch-hitter during the past four months-I promised my­ self tha' I would never again get involved in this

controver­ sy. Unfortunate­ ly, however, I find it necessary to go back on my promise, much as I would prefer to start off the new year on a more pleasant note with some comments on .. Vatican II or on anyone of a . dozen domestic issues now com­ peting for attention in the daily headlines. The straw that tipped the bal­ ance was an 8-page single-spaced letter from the three top officers of CLASC, which, in the ·course of defending CLASC against ORIT and against some -of the other real or alleged enemies of Christian trade unionism in Latin America, completely mis­ represents my own position on the ORIT-CLASC controversy. Charge Discrimination To my personal knowledge, copies of this letter have been mailed by CLASC to at least a dozen American priests,one of whom was thoughtful enough to eall it to my attention. On the face of it it would seem rather odd that the officials of

CLASC, in view of their obvious desire to circulate the letter as­ widely as possible, neglected to send me a personal copy - but we can let that one ride. for the time being. The letter. in question-which was addressed, in the first in­ stance, to a prominent American bishop-complains rather bitter_ ly that CLASC is being discrim­ inated against by U. S. and Latin American political bodies and trade unions and, -worse than that, by certain Catholic organi­ zations in the United States, not­ ablY one for which the bishop to whom the letter is addressed is directly responsible. I have no comment to make about this sweeping complaint. The organizations in question are quite capable of speaking for themselves. 'Knife in ELASe - - - • On the other hand, I should­ like to comment· briefly on one section of ·the CLASC letter, which reads, in part, as follows: "We know of one man who has contributed enormously to t~. discrediting of the CLASC, to everything the CLASC does and to hurting the reputation of CLASC officials.

Atlanta Prelate Backs Johnson School Plan . ATLANTA (NC) - Arch­ bishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta has replied to State and Protestant critics of President johnson's educational proposals which include shared services and other aid to paro­ chial schools. The Archbishop said the Pres­ ident's program should be wel­ comed by all leaders of the com­ munty. He added: Favors No Group "The President's efforts to en­ act a new school aid program to bring 'better education to mil­ lions of disadvantaged children' must be .hailed and welcomed by all leaders in the community. "We should consider the hu­ manitarian aims of Mr. Johnson -the needy children in our so­ ciety. Surely this aim tran­ scends all boundaries of educa­ tional systems, private, public or religious. "Reaching the needy child must be uppermost in our minds, as it is in the President's. This problem which has for several decades prevented a full study and treatment of the private school can no longer be post­ poned. When the American pub­ lic school first emerged, more than a century ago, it was at a time when the place of' religion in American life was far more vital. "Now, with due respect to the First Amendment, and with con­ fidence in the inventiveness of the American people, President .Johnson points out to us a new way to explore the problem. Every American who believes in the full education of our full population will certainly under­ stand what he is talking about; it is not a plea for any particular religious, racial, ethnic or eco­ nomic group." Oppose Proposal Claude Purcell, Georgia State Superintendent of Schools, had condemned the President's pro­ posal, saying that "all tax money for schools should be used for schools that are publicly con­ trolled." He asserted that the Administration will be stepping out of bounds if it allocated money to parochial schools. Rev. Charles F. Schwab, pres­ ident of the Greater Atlanta Council of Churches, which com­ prises the area's Protestant churches, said the President's move could be the J>eginning Glf a breakdown" in separation of Church and state. Different Light Dr. Monroe F. Swilley, Jr., president of the Georgia Baptist Convention, declared that mem­ bers of his group will give spe­ cial study to the subject, even though they are for the most part opposed to any federal aid to parochial schools. "This idea the President has of making grants to individuals presents itself in a somewhat different light and is going to require some study," he said.

Masses to Include March 7 Changes HOUSTON (NC) - T h r e e Masses embodying liturgical changes scheduled to go into effect throughout the country on Sunday, March 7 will be of­ fered during the thi.rd annual workshop and study week of the Southwest Liturgical Conference here in Texas next week.

Sister Mary Ferrer Explains Modern Math To Parents at Mt. St. Mary ~cademy

Thurs., Jan. 21, 1965

Like Archimedes, Sister Mary Ferrer, R.S.M. gets good ideas in the bathtub. Also over a second cup of coffee in the morning. But after a long session of math, she com­ plains that it takes her hours to read the paper. "I start to analyze everything mathe­ matically," she explains. These insights into the life of a mathematician were confided by the Sister of Mercy to an audience of parents gathered at Mt. St. Mary Academy in Fall River for a lecture on present day trends in mathe­ matics. To the question, "How do par­ ents help with homework in the 'new math'?" she chuckled, "You'd better not try," adding that mom and dad need to do a little homework themselves before assisting junior. Mt. St. Mary principal, Sister M. Concilii, hastened to the aid of .parents, announcing that if suf­ ficient interest is expressed, eve­

ning classes in math theory will

be offered .·at the Mount. They'll

cover concepts taught in grades

one through four; six through

eight; and nine through 12. She

warned, however, that even if your youngster is in high school

you'd better not enroll in the

upper grade section without be­

ing quite sure you understand

elementary level concepts. That

means that most parents will be

right there on the grade one

through four level, according to

audience reaction.

Wide Background Sister Mary Ferrer brought • wide background to her lecture. She is visiting professor of' mathematics at Salve Regina College, on leave of absence from St. Xavier College in Chi­ cago, where she heads the math department. She holds a doctor­ ate from Notre Dame University, is the author of several math textbooks and is currently pre­ paring material for another. Last year she was chosen by the Archdiocese of Chicago to prepare a series of television tapes for in-service training for elementary.school teachers. Next month she will oHer a course for teachers of modem math in the adult education de­ partment' of Salve Regina Col­ lege. The "new math" isn't really so new, Sister told her audience, explaining that much of' what is being taught today was discov­

ered in the 17th century, The trouble has been that math cur­ ricula, until the past few years, were about the same as they had been since the 16th century and before. Today, said the speaker, the new interest in math seems to be part of the general "cultural explosion." Mathematicians have been ivory tower people, she de­ clared, but now "mathematicians and educators are getting to­ gether to teach math concepts to children as early as possible.? Mathematics is "all in the mind," said Sister Mary Ferrer, which is probably why most people have trouble with it. Numbers and geometry were the standard means of communicat­ ing mathematical ideas until Descartes developed analytic geometry in the 17th century. This opened the door for new math concepts until the 20th century, when an attempt was made to classify mathematical knowledge, and it was. found that everything couldn't be pigeon­ holed "merely by geometry or numbers." New Structure This meant that a new struc­ ture of math had to be developed "to fit everything together." This has led to curriculum revision and to a "spiral approach" to little children. Sister explained this as an attempt to get them to see things intuitively, then to realize them logically." . Some math, she said, isn't pracu.:.L but we teach it to

MATH LECTURE: Sister Mary Ferrer, R.S.M., math specialist, prepares with Sister Mary ConcilH, R.S.M., 'stand­ ing, for lecture to parents of Mt. St. Mary Academy stu­ dents on modern math trends. Sister Concilii is academy principal. ' stimulate creativity ·in children. An example of this is a demon­ stration of number systems. Our mathematics is based on the "base 10 number system," but other bases could be used; and children are shown how a. "base eight" .system, for instance, would work. "They love it," said Sister. "They'll come into school with pages and pages of charts they've worked. out on other bases." .

First grade tots are now taught concepts that used to be saved for advanced high school or col­ lege math classes, she declared. Examples are the "not equal," "greater- than" and "less than" signs, used nonchalantly these days by grade schoolers. Set Concept The concept of a "set" as a collection of well-distinguished objects is basic to modern math, said Sister, and it's the first thing taught in first grade. Next. step helps children make the transi­ tion from concrete to abstract thought. That's what your first grader is d8ing when he brings home a paper with sets of like or unlike objects encircled. "One," said Sisters, "is the most profound idea in number." She noted that she and a fellow worker had explored the impli­ cations of "oneness" for four weeks on one occasion. "We took three weeks on 'two' and then

'Hi~t~l!'f~ O'"'~' PITTSBURGH (NC) Some 800 Byzantine-rite Catholics, Greek Orthodox and Protestants joined in the prayer and song at a service for Christian unity in Holy Spirit Byzantine Church here. The interfaith gathering was the first public action of the six­ month-old ecumenical commis­ sion of the Byzantine Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. It ;;lr­ ranged the vesper-type service in conjunction with the Pitts­ burgh Cpuncil of Churches. Common Fatherhood Dr. Harold R. Albert, former

head of the Pittsburgh Council

of Churches, called the common

prayer meeting "historic."

"It never occurred to me. that

in my life time I would be able

to preach on a passage of God's ' word on the same program and

in the same service of worship

with a Roman Catholic priest

and a Greek Orthodox priest:' In

this sense it is not only a new

event but a historic one," he said.

Father Edward V. Rosack,

chancellor of the Byzantine-rite

diocese, said: "No more diverse

congregation, perhaps, had been assembled under one roof,. yet their unity in their adoration of the Triune God in prayer and in song, gave vibrant life to the truth of the brotherhood of man under the common fatherhood of God. The Christian community of the city of Pittsburgh has been immeasurably strengthened."

Funds to Help Ne(ll'l'o

PUI~ils

CLEVELAND (NC) - A fund has been' set up here to send gifted but underprivileged Ne­ gro children to high schools, mainly Catholic and Lutheran institutions in the area. The Interracial Scholarship Foundation was established with the backing of a fermer mayor ' and one-time U.S. senator, Cath­ olic and other newspaper editors and various community leaders. Intention of the sponsors is not only to offer a high school education, but to !lee that the N~gro boys and girls are speci­ fically prepared to quality for college scholarships for Negroes, many of which now go unused. The goal is 80 high school schol­ arships. Trustees of the foundation in­ clude Thomas A. Burke, forme! mayor and senator; Joseph A. Breig, assistant managing editor of the Universe Bulletin, Cleve­ land Catholic newspaper; Harry Alexander, business manager of the Call and Post, a Negro week­ ly; and Murray Powers, manag­ ing editor of the Beacon-Journal, an Akron daily paper.

Oppose Proposed School. Bu!; Rides , ALTOONA (NC)--A statewide organization known as Friends of the Public Schools is being formed to oppose proposed leg­ islation to provide bus rides for nonpublic school children along existing school bus routes. Head of the Pennsylvania committee of Friends of the Pub­ lic Schools is the Rev. S. Wil­ liam Hollingsworth, pastor of the Simpson Methodist church here and an active organizer for the organization known as Prot­ estants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and state (POAU).

"Hear-All" looks like an ordi­ nary wall telephone. Father Batt said it is superior to previous de­ vices because it requires no warmup time, has no tubes or batteries to go dead and has easier volume controls.

Parental Insistence Source Of Vocation 'Abandonment By Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, S. J. Parents are wonderful people who often, and under­ standably, are far too close to their children to really know them, and far too solicitous to help. them. They try so hard to help their kids that they push or pull when they should be just watching, and they for them to save their souls. watch when they should be Notice all the words in the pushing or pulling.

But maybe the bigg~st mIstake , a parent can rnake is when he or - she wanders into a sec­ tor which should b~ reserved for the child's free WIll. Sooner or later, each in~ivid­ ual has to make the ch~)lce of his own state in life, hIS own vocation. In this day of accele­ rated everything, pare?ts ~~t anxious about what "-~Ir ChI­ dren 'are going to become ~r what is going to b- - ..-- ~ of their children, shortly aft~r, or even before birth. And with the earlier and ad­ ded competion today - from fighting for corsages .in gra~e school to becoming Vice-preSI­ dent of the firm. in the early thirties-some parents seem to think that. their children should knoW, in grammar school. ex­ actlv what they intend to do with. their lives and how they intp'ld to pursUe and capture the American ideal: wealth, eomfort and security. Individual l)ecisioR Unfort""at-"., this concern doesn't always remain just an objective desire to have a son or' daughter choose the 1?est Voc?tion, but all too often be­ e<''''' ~s n~ attempt to direct Junior into the field his parents think best. Choosing a vocation is just as irtdividual and personal a decision as choosing to save or _ lose one's soul. Parents have to train and help their children, of course, by advice and direc­ tion and discipline and love. 'But ultimatply, the child has to ,.,.,,,ture and make his own decision to go to heaven or h,,'l. And similary he has to make his own decision about the chief means he. takes of saving his own soul-his voca­ tion. N-:-be it's just that, because of social pressures today, we've lost sight of the real meaning of "vocation," mistaking it for just a job, for a way of making a living or of gaining wealth or prestige or some other mater­ ial bauble. Entails Free Will But a vocation is, raU- ~r, the best way for a person to save his soul, and the way God leads him to by His Providence. Not even God forces a person into a given '"ocation, because this choice entails just as '1luch free Will as the salvation of one's soul. And yet, despite this fact, thr are parents who go God one better and try t"l tell their ehildren what' is the best wB¥

And, so, the vocation of one's parents might be the absolutely worst way for the parents' chi'd. so th~' the child forced into a vocation which is not tJ, ~ best way for him-though it may have been for Daddy-might well run a serious risk of losing his soul. Parent Advice Important Teen-agers have to bear this fact in mind, too, especially when they see their buddies go­ ing into some vocation which is not for them. Your friend's vocation is not yours, any more th~'- he can save your soul for you. Even psychologically, it is a mistake for parents to push their chi'-'''en into a vocation or into a too-early decision on this vocation (though it would be a mistake, too, for a son or daughter to dawdle with the decision too long-say up to about 35 or so). This is not to say that parents shouldn't help to form their children and therefore, indirect­ ly, their decisions. Parents have t< give their children the ability to choose rightly, the principles to go by, the advice which 'will help. But they can't decide for them-p'" -~s, of course, Junior wants to be a gangster or Susie a burlesque queen. '

LAFAYETTE (NC) - Two bishops and a national lay lead­ er stressed the importance of the Newman Club movement at a celebration following dedica­ tion of an addition to the New­ man Club chapel at the Univer­ sity of Southwestern Louisiana Archbishop John P. Cody of New Orleans said the "knowl­ edge of religion, moral training and character building" which are goals of the Newman move­ ment "are as important in educa­ tion as scientific and technical knowledge." Bishop Maurice Schexnayder of Lafayette, a former Newman Club chaplain, noted that there are 700,000 Catholic students at non-Catholic colleges in the U. S, and called the Newman apostol­ ate "one of the greatest chal­ lenges in our country today." Martin Work, executive dl-. rector of the National Council of Catholic Men, said the Newm811 apostolate is evidence of the suc­ cessful w 0 r kin g relationship with other faiths mirrored in the ecumenical council's decree on, eeumenism. "Students on campui live out a real ecumenical expe­ rience," he said.

Anniversary of Dr. Dooley's Death

Sees His Work in Asia Continui~g

Thomas Anthony Dooley, M.D., died at the age of 34, not long after he began his tremendous task of bringing medical aid to Asia's forgotten millions. ,,But today Dr. Dooley's work continues. On. Jan. 18, the fourth anniversary .of his death from cancer, the Thomas A.

People Aid People Dr'. Dooley beleived in individ­ uals helping individuals. He be­ lieved that government aid pro­ grams were not enough. He and a handful of friends, knowing they had· to start some place, built a hospital in northern Laos. Today at that hospital, named for Tom Dooley, over 2000 patients..are treated every month. American doctors, nurses and technicians work side by side with Lao nurses and interpreters. The Dooley Foundation de­ pends on private support for all its resources. Costs are kept to the absolute minimum, which Is less than 50 cents per patient treated, including drugs. Care is given to all who come, and they cOme for miles, sometimes walk­ ing' three days to reach the hos­ pital. ' Varied Programs A 'the Dooley Foundation has also, kept Dr. Tom's promises to the exiled Dalai Lama of Tibet. Since.

Dr. Dooley was one of those' unique individuals who find the single thing they want to do in life. He wanted to make' the suffering, 'hopeless people of Asia understand the best of America through the mercy of medicine. His abort life and the work being carried on by the Founda­ tion that bears his name have given deep meaning to that am­ bition. The many thousands of Americans from all walks of life -housewives, businessmen, stu­ dents, doctors, nurses, actOrs, singer&-who provide the vitally needed support for the Founda­ tion live in the mind and hearts of the Asians just as Tom Dooley does.

Mooney Sr., the Fall River resident resides with his family in Fall River and summers in Falmouth on Cape Cod. The Sovereign Order of the Knights of Malta traces its ex­ istence back to a group of men who maintained a Christian hospital in the Holy Land in the 11th century.-It was first ap­ proved as the Hospitallers of St. John in 1113 by Pope Paschal II. . While continuing its service to the poor, principally in hos­ pital work, the order assumed military duties in the following century and included among its membership knights, chaplains. and sergeants-at-arms. Headquarters were in the Holy Land until the last decade of the 13th century; at Rhodes after 1308 (whence the title Knights of Rhodes); on Malta after 1530, and at Rome since the fourth decade of the 19th ceutury. Affairs of the order are .sub­ ject to regulation by the Holy See, the Sacred Congregation of Religious, and the Vatican Sec­ retariat of State. The order has some rights of sovereignty based on international law and main­ tains diplomatic relations with 24 govermnents. It has 9,000 members and supports hospitals with relief units in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and So. America. The order is devoted to the support of hospitals and other charitable works. There are two other Knights of Malta in the Diocese. Atty. Harold E. Clarkin of Fall River and Mark N. Duff of New Bed­ ford. The late John Duff of New Bed­ ford, and the late James A. Burke of Fall River, were mem­ bers of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

Works for Better Rellations Between Christians, Moslems LOS ANGELES (NC) - A Boston-born bishop is working to establish better relations be­ tween Christians and Moslems in the troubled nation of Nigeria. Bishop Edward T. Lawton, D.P., of Sokote, Nigeria, said in an interview here in California that while Moslems have ex­ pressed their appreciation for the medical and educational work of the Church, they are still suspicious of the help. Bishop Lawton's diocese is in

the northern and mc.st Moslemdominated sector of Nigeria, Africa's most populous country. National elections saw thousands .of predominantly p a g a n and Christian voters in the south stay away from the polls in protest against election procedures which, they said, favored the Moslems. (A possible secession by southerners appeared to be averted when President Nnamdi Azikiwe, a Christian, called upon all cit- ..

izens to support a coalition government under Prime Min­ ister Sir Abubakar Balewa.) Elevated to his diocese last Summer after spending 13 years in· Nigeria as a missionary priest, Bishop. Lawton was named to a diocese where 15,000 Catholics live among five million Moslems. . He said that there are two great obstacles . to quick im­ provement of relations between the two religious groups - the

Christians understand very little about Ishim and the MO!Ilems know even less about Chris­ tianity. "We are hoping ·to establish a school of cutural or Oriental studies in Sokote to create a dialogue between ourselves and the Moslems." he said. In the meantime, before the school is started, Bishop Lawton said he would send one of hil priests to a similar school oper­ ated by the French Dominicans.
