Keep Attention "When I was giving instruc tions in the chapel, I noticed that quite a few of the men were nodding," he said. "I realized that I'd have to rome up with something' to keep their attention." He said he wrote on a black board the three main points he wanted to make in his presenta tion and covered these with a piece of brown paper. "When I wanted to emphasize one of these points, I'd reach over and pull off the broWD paper," he recalled. "I found t~ an excellent way of' maintaining attention and getting my point across. Give them something to see. That's the way to teach, I told myself."

other inhabited planets be aides Earth would not affect the Christian teachings of Reve
mtion, a noted Jesuit theologian
said here.
Interviewed by the Rome
weekly, Vita; Father Domenico
f;rasso, S.J., a professor at the
Pontifical Gregorian University,
was asked whether the teachings
of. Revelation would apply to
ilational beings other than Earth
men, if there are any.
"No. at least not directly," he
leplied. '''i'he order of Provi
dence under which we live is
dominated by two fundamental
events: original sin and the Re
demption.
Solidarity "The sin of Adam through which all sinned, becoming enemies of. God, is offset by the Redemption of Jesus Christ through his Death and Resurrec tion by which all were recon ciled with God and readmitted to His friendship. The solidarity of all men in sin and redemp tion is founded on the common bond of human nature itself. In dealing with the hypotheses of another order of Providence, C<>d may have conceived of a different plan." Father Grasso said he does not expect· that the· space age will bold any extraordinary conse quences for theology, "since the Christian derives the funda mental knowledge of God, and man from the fonts of Revela . tion." More Light Conceding that space dis eoveries may throw more light on the attributes of God, especially on His immensity and wisdom, Father Grasso said: "'The knowledge of other in babited worlds will lead only to the conclusion that the creative activity of God was not limited to a single inhabited world and to a single order of Providence."

He is' known to thousands who have attended yearly special ceremonies in honor of the feast of St. Anne and he is still fre quently to be seen at the Shrine. In 1956 Father Marchildon re ceived the Bene Merenti Medal from Pope Pius XII in recogni tion of his service to St. Anne's Shrine. It was presented by Very Rev. Michael Browne, ,now a Cardinal and at that time Master General of the Order of Preachers. Father Granger was born Sept. 21, 1877 in St. Jacques L'Achigil.ll, Quebec. Preliminary studies were made at Assump-' tion College, Quebec, and in 1898 he entered the Dominican Order, making perpetual pro fession at St. Hyacinthe in 1899.

NEWTON (NC) - The establishment of a new re search center here has been described as a "major step of international importance in the care and treatment of the blind." The newly founded center, the first laboratory in the world de voted exclusively to the medical, psychological, sociological and rehabilitiational problems of the blind, is an offshoot .of the work of Boston's Catholic Guild for All the Blind. Father Thomas J. Carroll, director of the guild, is the founder and director of the new center, the American Center for Research i'n Blindness - and Re habilitation. Father Carr 0 11 has been working with the blind since 1938, when he was appointed as sistant director of the guild. His book, "Blindness: what it is, what it does and how to live with it," published in 1961, is considered a classic study in its field. Director of' research at the American center will be Dr. Leo H. Riley, who has been on the staff of the Catholic Guild's St. Paul Rehabilitation Center here ·since its foundation in 1954. Plans for the organization of the new research center have been underway for five years, Father Carroll said in an nouncing its foundation.

OTTAWA (NC)-Twenty priests of the Quebec For eign Mission Society still in Cuba offer 100 Masses each Sunday. The Holy See last year gave each of the Canadian mission aries in Cuba permission to say five Masses each Sunday to help meet the shortage of priests in that country. o rig ina II y there were 42 Quebec Foreign Mission Society priests serving in Cuba. Seven Canadians were among priests expelled from Cuba last year and sent to Spain. On repre sentation of the Canadian gov ernment, the Castro governmen( said a mistake had been made 'and the seven Canadians were asked to return at the expense of the Castro government. Five did return. One of the other two in the meantime had been appointed a superior of another mission and the other, still a student, was continuing his studies elsewhere. The Canadian priests in Cuba are permitted to say Mass in church, answer emergency sick calls and do a certain amount of office "paper work" such ·as issuing birth and marriage cer tificates. They are not permitted to teach in' schools. In 'view of existing conditions, the sending of more Canadian priests might deprive 9ther needy mission areas of. help where the priests are' engaged in more extensive work, it is £elt.

Fall River Missioner to Basutoland Learns Varied Skills to Bring People to 'Christ By Patricia McGo~an "A missionary must. be all things to all ~en, to win them for Chri~t." Nowhere is that more true than in Basutoland, South AfrIca, where Rev. Robert SeVIgny, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sevigny, 565 King Street, Fall River, has served since his' assignment to the missions in 1954 after ordination in 1953 as an Oblate of Mary Immaculate. Father Sevigny is official flour grinder for his people, has was about half the size of the they're six or seven. whereas pulled countless hundreds of Fall River Diocese, and one be- household duties of the girls can that was as big as Rhode be accomplished in after-school teeth, dispenses simple medi , fore Island.

cation, is a carpenter, plumber and mechanic, and an expert horseman - all skills acquired since his arrival in Basutoland. All these activities are, of course, means. to an end, ex plains the missioner. Convinced that the Church is intp.rested in their material as well as spiritual
needs, the Basutos are receptive -to its message and missionaries in the area note a definite decline in interest in Communism. Basutoland is ,about the size of Belgium, having an area of 11,716 square miles. It is served wholly by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, with the exception of about 20 secular priests who belong to the native .clergy. Of three Oblate Bishops in the country, two are native Africans and there are also 20 native Ob late priests, in addition to 80 from the United States, Canada and various European countries. Father Sevigny is regularly as signed to the South African pro vince of the Oblate Fathers and expects to remain the rest of his missionary life. "Aiter you learn the language, you don't want to leave," he comments. Language is Sesotho, a hard tongue to. master, says the mis sionary. It takes about two years to become proficient. Father Sevig~ has served as pastor at various Oblate parishes during his time in Basutoland. ''It only takes about four years to become a pastor on the mis sions," he grins, but adds quickly that conditions are nothing like those at home. Hia late parish, for instaDc:e,
are few and far between and notions of church support are few too. Men are supposed to contri bute .40 a year to their parish, women .30 and children .10, but this goal is seldom realized in a country where the average worker makes but .40 a day, and even such jobs are scarce. Basutoland is a pastoral coun try. Its one city, Maseru, has a population of only _ 6,000 and most of its people are scattered over wide areas. For this reason, Father Sevigny operated at his last assignment one central mis sion school and eight outstations. Sisters teach at the centra.l school, while the outstations are staffed by laypeople. Total Cath olic population of the parish .is ~,oOO.
Aecompanied b7 a layman, Father Sevigny visited each of his outposts seven or eight times a year. All trips are by horse back, since the entire country boasts only '970. miles of earth roads and three miles of tarred roads, and these are mostly on its perimeter. Stations are about three hours journey apart and at each Father Sevigny stays overnight, hearing confessions, saying Mass, bap tizing and making whatever sick calls are needed. A topsy-turvy situation exists with regard to schools, says the missioner. Girls generally attend from the age of six, whereas a boy is lucky if he begins his edu catiOD at 12 to 15. Reason is that the boys are needed as shep herds 01' goatherds from the time
A secondary reason is that prospective bridegrooms must pay the f.ather of the bride 20 head of oxen. Fathers are anx ious to see their daughters well educated so they're sure to at tract suitors - and their ac companying cattle.
Nearly all e d u cat ion in Basutoland, a British protector-; ate, is provided by missionaries, Protestant or Catholic, with the government supplying subsidies in varying amounts. As a result of years of this tradition, 60 per cent af the population is now Christian, with 40 per cent Cath_ olic and 20 per cent Protestant. Upon Father. Sevigny's return next Fall, he will receive a new assignment: He expects his next home visit to come in seven years. A native of Blessed Sacra ment parish in Fall River, he attended the parochial school, then entered the Oblate minor seminary. He credits his vocation ~ the Oblates to the interest of Msgr. Osias BoUcher, late pastor at Blessed Sacrament.

Serious Problem
,HE TR () T H ABOUT MArl
One of the most serious problems facing America is the problem of automation. Many years ago, a Japanese writer, Anesaki, pointed out that man must master the machine if he is not to be come its slave. The great advances in science and technology have given the modern world a wondrous array of machines. It is difficult to think of what modern day-to-day living would be like without: the power plant, the oil refinery, the printing press, the automobile, the packaging plant. But the very advances in "sophisticated" machines threaten the position of the unskilled worker and call upon fewer men to bring about the same amount of production that many more were needed for in past generations. What are the solutions? It does no good for people to cry against the machines, to refuse to use them, to advocate their suppression or slow down their advance. Progress is an inevitable wave that may be stemmed for a while but not held back. NAT/tJNAL It does no good to turn one's back on the machines, 'CONP£RENCE to see somethIng un-Christian in their use.

The Greatest Discovery The great scientist, Steinmetz, once wrote: "The greatest discovery will be along spiritual lines. Here is a force which history clearly teaches has been the greatest power in the development of man, yet we have been merely playing with it. We have not seriously studied it as we have the physical forces. Someday the scientists will turn their laboratories over to the study of God, and prayer and the spiritual forces, a subject which has hardly been scratched. When this day comes the world will see more advancement ill one generation than it has in the past four generations." The possibilities envisioned in this statement are food for thought. Here is a great man, an American genius, a man whose studies of electrical energy opened his eyes to the power of the whole unseen world of God and prayer and spiritual forces. Those who know how to pray, who live "in the midst of God" as St. Paul did, these know what Steinmetz is talking about. They have experienced the power and the peace, the happiness and the security, the confidence and the courage that come from the world of the spirit. It will be a wonderful day indeed when scientists turn more of their attention to God and call the attention of men to what should be, after all, the ,.great theme of every man's life-the presence of God in it.

MONDAY-M. Peter Noiaseo, Confessor. Our worship is itseJ1 a "confession of faith," a public profession of our loving accept ance of these grea't gifts of God -and of the great gift, .Jesus Christ. It is as a worshiping community, in fact, that the Church chiefly realizes her pur pose and accomplishes her mis sion. Such missionary activity, such love of our brothers, as does ap pear, radiates, flows, proceeds from the liturgy af the Church. Nor is any aspect of our public profession of faith to be judged in terms of the "world's" notion of success or failure. The Gospel teaches that such a confession is treasure in heaven. And the First Reading admits that it is foolishness in the eyes of meny -perhaps even many of \IS "faithful."

"Our Holy Father, Pope John XXIII," writes Bishop Rossi of Brazil has "appealed to the generosity of ]~ apostles to come to the aid of Latin America. Fifteen young women are undertaking to give the best of their youth and vitality to serve the Church for the next three years in the di ocese of Bara do Pirai." These Pap a I Volun teers will work on a pilot proj ect in which the group will go from viIlag18 to viJ.lage and collaborate with Brazilian young women in b~ coming expert teachers of Chrie 'tian doctrine. The program calls for those coming from other countries to assist local lay leaders in devel oping the local lay apostolate. In no way shall they take tile place of local lay leaders. Christian Leaders Bishop Rossi points out that the Volunteers could serve the Lord in well~paid'professional positions; none is lacking in pro fessional preparation and high. education. But these young people "who abandoned comfort to embrace what is heroic, who reach otllt with fraternal love to find the spiritually hungry and abaB doned and soften their hard lot, who leave country, family,. friends, in order to take on dil ficult work, without remunera tion or comfort, in surroundin. so different in mentality, cta. ture, education-such young peo ple cannot fail to speak the sublime language of Christi. charity."

Solons to Fight· Tax-Supported Birth Control SPRINGFIELD (NC) Among the first measures introduced in the TIlinois Legislature were bills to pre Tent the use of tax funds to wpport birth control programs. The legislation is designed to stop the minois Public Aid Commission from carrying out its recently adopted policy of giving birth control information, devices and related medical care to public reliefers. One bill was sponsored by Sen. Morgan M. Finley of. Chicago. He represents the dis trict in which Chicago's power ful 'Mayor Richard Daley lives and is the mayor's political pro tege. He was joined by several other Chicagoans as cosponsors. In the House, Rep. Ralph Smith of Alton, who introduced a bill simHiar to Finley's, fore cast victory for such legislation by a two-thirds vote. 'Dangerous, Immoral' "It would be dangerous, im moral to allow IPAC to go ah,ead with its plans," Smith said. In the meantime, the chair man of the public aid commis Irion intensified the controversy in a press interview. Arthur Maremont, chairman and originator of the plan to launch state - supported birth control, told the United Press International that his program will prevent between 4,000 and, 5,000 children from being born in Cook County alone. This Is the populous Chicago area. Maremont again stressed his belief that the project will save tax money. He said it will cost less to prevent women from giving birth to a child than it does to support a child. who must go on public relief.

Where' 36 years ago there was a swamp, today there stands a new and impressive church; where 36 years ago there were little more than 100 families, there are now al most 900 families. Such facts are an indication of the growth of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Church in South Attleboro, and most of this growth has occurred since World.War IT. The parish began in 1923 with the purchase of land situated six miles from the center of Attleboro and a half mile from Pawtucket, R.I. Two years later Rev. Joseph LaRue was named first pastor and for a while he resided at St. Joseph's rectory in Attleboro and celebrated Mass at a restau rant owned by Mr. Charles O'Co~nor at the corner of Wash ington and Bacon Streets. Through the efforts Qf parish ioners, a temporary chapel was erecte<i to provide for 300 peo ple. With its folding chairs, flat roof and hot-air furnace, in the words of Father LaRue, "It made one think of the Stable of Bethl~hem."
At the same time the second
floor flf the house adjoining the
chapel was prepared for a rec
tory, with one room for daily
,Mass, one for a parish office and two for the pastor. Quarters were not the only problem, however, for there was a parish debt of $12,500 when the first pastor was appointed, and the church 'property was located in a low section called "Sweden Swamp" - which fre quently flooded over, and on an unofficial road which was im~ passable following heavy snow . storms. At funerals during these early days, the body of the deceased had to remain at the highway roadside during the requiem Mass. Later Problems By 1926, the temporary chapel was completed with the main altar from the old Our Lady of 'Consolation Church installed and Father LaRue was able to take over the entire house for use as his rectory. Other improvements continued and by 1930 Baltic Street was made a public way. There followed the depression and World War II and the num ber of parishioners at St. Ther esa's grew even smaller. Then after the war, a building boom occurred, with people moving out from the center of Attleboro and especially from Pawtucket. - When Father LaRue, who had 'guided the parish from its begin. nings, was nanied pastor of Sacred' Heart Church, North At tleboro, Rev. Anatole Desmarais was named to succeed him. Fatl:J.er Desmarais immediately set about remodeling the church, installing n'ew altars and pews, painting and decorating and ren. ovating the rectory. Most importantly for the area in which he was situated, the second pastor piped the brook' which crossed the lowland, filled in the site and established a parking lot on the site on which the new church now stands. Father, Desmarais remained only three years, at which time he became pastor of St. Joseph's, Attleboro, and Rev. Stanislaus Goyette was appointed pastor. In his four-year pastorate, Father

Goyette maintained the church properties and illitiated a build ing fund for a new church which was becoming a necessity for the parish. Rev. Gerard J. Chabot, the present pastor, was named to succeed Father Goyette in April of 1954, and his curate, Rev. Roger L. Gagne, arrived one year later. New Church Father Chabot started at once to plan the needed new church, and 011 :May 16, 1957, the brick edifice beside the highway was dedicated by Bishop Connolly. The old church has since been converted into a Catholic Youth Center while a large hall in the Churcb basement· is used for meetings and many parish functious. .

Prelate Predicts Spirit of Church To Outlive Pope BALTIMORE ( N C) Archbishop Law r e n c e J. Shehan of Baltimore, ad dressing more than 100. Episcopal clergymen here, pre dicted that the Church's new ecumenical and pastoral spirit will outlive Pope John. "But I am frank to say," he added in response to a question, "that I believe in the next few years his presence is important." Archbishop Shehan discussed the Ecumenical Council and its implications in a talk and ques tion-and-answer session with the Episcopal clergy, held at St. Michael's and All Angels Epis copal church parish house. His host for the precedent setting occasion was Episcopal Bishop Noble C. Powell of Mary , land. 'Marked Change' "Ten years ago I can't ima gine myself being invited to ad dress a group like this," Arch bishop Shehan commented. "And I can't imagine myself having accepted." He referred to the meeting as an instance of "a marked change" in rela tions between Catholics and, non - Catholics since the start of the Ecumeni cal Council. He predicted closer relations resulting from "the new spirit in the Catholic Chw-ch which Pope John XXIII has labored to bring about." Asked whether an American could be elected pope, he said this is "not probable in the near future" but not impossible. He remarked that the College of Cardinals' "has changed con siderably since the beginning of the time of Pius XII." Laity Role The Archbishop predicted three main results from the Ecumenical Council: 1) Increased authority for bishops through the creation af national or regional bishops' conferences. 2) Decisiol)s by most of these groups to use more of the ver nacular in the Mass and sacra ments. 3) "A real effort to give the laity a more significant role' to play in the Church."
NEW YO~K (NC) - A neigh borhood campaign against ob scene literature has rallied widespread community support bere in the, two months since it was launched. Called "Operation' Yorkville," the program is centered on the Yorkville section of New York.' It aims to alert the public to the menace of obscenity, particu larly as it affects young people, and to rally support for efforts to clamp down on the distribu-, tion of salacious material. Since a kickoff meeting, more than 200 schools, hospital, par ent-teacher groups and similar organizations h a v e scheduled rallies and movie meetings. Mothers, have organized mail campaigns in which an average of 300 postcards a week have been sent to judges and con-' gressmen, asking their backing. "Operation Yorkville" was be gun by an organizational com mittee consisting of Father Wil liam T. Wood, S.J., pastor of St. Ignatius Loyola Churcb; Rabbi' Joseph Lookstein of Congrega tion Kehilatb Jeshurun; and the Rev. Robert E. Wiltenburg, pas tor of Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Chur.cl1.

SILVER SPRING (NC)-The steadfastness of the rank and file Catholic in Poland has im. pressed an American priest who toured the country and partici pated in the annual pilgrimage to the Poles' national shrine. "He is, not usually a member cxf an underground organization, nor does he normally foment :revolt, since he does not have the weapons for such things.

'1 Saw Holiness"

Op,inion of Albee's Play
By Most Rev. ·Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. This is the second in a series of articles concerning "What I Saw at the Council." Last week the subject was, ''I Saw Poverty"; this column is called "I Saw Holiness."
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Edward Albee's play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Is the sensation of the Broadway season. Most of the critics have fired salvos of superlatives in its honor. Its author is being hailed as already a major playwright and as destined for the first rank of per manent importance in the for her. Hence her punishment American drama. The pro- of him. duction is drawing capacity Stream of Insults crowds and is a topic of conversation and controversy wherever the American theatre is discussed. 'I have not seim the play, but have finished a second reading of the printed t e x·t, . DOW pUblished by Atheneum at $5. My vote • Ii strong dissent from the ecstatic majority opinion. ... The play has but four eharacters, two pairs of husband. and wives. The principal couple eomprises George and Martha (whose last name, if they ·have one, is never mentioned.) They bave been married more than 10 years and have been battling each other most of that time. The scene is their home, in .New Carthage, a town in New England. They are connected with a college there. Martha is tile daughter of the college president, and George teaches in the history department.
That punishment takes the form of a ceaseless stream of in sults. The vilest epithets, the foulest obscenities she flings at him in endless succession. When she speaks, it is like a sewer overflowing. It is initially shocking, but soon becomes intolerably boring and disgusting. And it is ab surdly inartistic. Mr. Albee seems bent on throwing pail after pail of garbage into the face of the audience. He grossly violates' the principle of selec tivity. So too with Martha's seduc tlon of Nick. It is a gross, brutal ly animl\,listic performance, fol lowed by her reviling of him in the kind of terms previously reserved for her husband. She makes it clear that -she has gone through the nasty busiri.ess just to punish George, and George now proceeds to take hi.! revenge. Imaginary Son 'He does it through their son.

Our times are blessed with a holy Church. n Is hoI, Dot only because the Holy Spirit vivifies it, but because when one sees all the bishops of the Church in Conn cil, one sees holiness in the shepherds. Seventy percent of the bishops were at St. Peter's a half hour before Mass began each day-and all to pray. Some prayed before the tomb of st. Pius X, others be fore the altai' of Our Lady, others before the Pieta, but most at the altai' of the Blessed Sacrament.

He com~ented: "I thought that
Protestants had a monopoly on
this but I got a surprise in

Church is not only concerned
with the activity of laymen but
with giving the laity a theology
and developing in them a sense
of meaning and belonging to the
Church. The lay state is looked
upon as avocation."

Hope for: Unity With Orthodox,
The Church Unity Octave will end tomorrow on the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. This is an eight day period set aside by Holy Mother Church 'as a special time to pray the prayer of Christ which He directed to His h e a v e n 1y Father on the night before His passion, And the Mission Club, also at "that they all may be one Bishop Cassidy High, under the as Thou, Father, in Me, and direction of Sister Mary Tere I in Thee; that they may be
one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me." Students in our 'Diocesan' high schools have been praying with the church during the octave, which is especially significant this year in view of our Holy Father's special call for unity at the Ecumenical Council. Maronite Mass, The Sodality at Mount st. Mary's Academy in Fall River sponsored the distri:bution of leaflets containing ,the prayers for Church Unity to all students at the academy. Each class has been using the leaflets at mor ning prayers. Meanwhile students at Domin ican Academy, also in Fall River, have been praying for Church Unity at all religion classes. At Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro students have be come a c qua i n ted with the Church Unity Octave through a series of prepared talks de livered by the students over the intercom system.

GARRISON (NC) - Hope for the eventual reunion of the Eastern Orthodox' with the 'Catholic Church was expressed at an "Oriental Day" observance at 'St. Pius X Seminary here. ' Father Paschal Angell, S.A., a faculty member at the Graymoor Fathers' seminary, voiced this hope in a talk following a Divine Liturgy (Mass) offered acco'rd ing to "the Rite of St. John Chrysostom. Catholic clergy of both the Latin and.Eastern Rites attended the Oriental Day observance. The Divine Liturgy was offered by Father Angell, with Father Simeon Fetzko, pastor of ,St. Nicholas ,Byzantine Catholic church, Danbury, Conn., as· eo celebrant. Father Angell declared that "the eventual reconciliation' 'of Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics in one church is more hopeful than ever." Equalib for Rites "Recently a high-ranking prel-' ate of the Eastern Rne stated that Oriental Rite Catholics have not as yet been accorded their full place within the Catholic Church. Our hope for eventual reconciliation with Eastern Or thodox Christians depends upon their attainment of that rightful status," he said. ' . . Father Angell sail there is "no doubt" that the Church's official policy is to, accord equality to the various rite. within the Church.

Warns. of Harmful Books Dominican Says Jesuit Asks Parents To Check
Children's High School Reading Lists
CINCINNATI (NC) - A uni versity professor cautioned high school literature teachers to take special care in guarding their students from harmful books. Father M. Joseph Costelloe, S.J., classics professor at Creigh ton University, Omaha, sounded the warning before more than 100 Sisters of Charity from three states at an institute on high school literature teaching held at the sisterhood's Mount St. Joseph motherhouse here. In an interview, the Nebraska born Jesuit said that high school reading lists sometimes include books which students aren't mature enough to read without danger. "Some of the moral problems encountered in reading," he said, "are excessive realism in situ ation and dialogue, and the por trayal of false philosophies." Morality Abandoned Looking at the problem from another angle, trouble arises when students read books that are primarily i n ten d e d for adults, he said. Father Cos tell 0 e observed "we're living in a pagan milieu in which traditional morality has been widely abandoned." This is ref 1 e c ted in present-day writing, he said. Teachers have a responsibility, he said, to ascertain what books may be harmful for their stu dents. He suggested that "parents could be brought into the discus sion on difficult points." Father Costelloe asked: "Can a prudent reader of good moral character derive aesthetic plea sure from a book which is fun

Recalling Aristotle's warning that certain plots should not be used because they offend man's moral sense, he said: "Aristotle also observes that in judging what is pleasant or unpleasant we should go by the judgment. of a prudent man, just as with respect to food, the taste of a healthy man is to be preferred to that of the man who is sick.
Blesses Weekly's New Offices SANTIAGO (NC)-The CaJl dinal Archbishop of Santiago blessed the new offices of the Catholic weekly La Voz and praised the paper's staff for showing "fairness, calm and valor" in informing the public. Raul Cardinal Silva Henriquez, S.D.B., in a short address at the blessing of the paper's new lo cation in the heart of this city.. said: "Our new!paperis a hum ble pUblication, but we have great hopes. We believe that It is the seed of a gigantie tree which will bring forth the fruit for the good of all people." The paper, founded five and a half years ago, has a circulation of 25,000. Ideal of Service "It is clear that we come' up against many misunderstand ings," the Cardinal said. "It is clear that we are men and that we have our own lfweaknesses. "Nevertheless, the ideal that we uphold, and tha-t you also must uphold, is the ideal of service to public opinion - to inform it, to explain events in the light 01. the teaching of Christ."

The Archbishop of Montreal explained why in addressing 100 athletes who called to ex-fend greetings. As usual, the flash bulbs of the photographers went off repeatedly during the audi ence. The Cardinal said in the early days when he became spiritual head of the Montreal archdiocese he became irritated by the per sistence of the photographers. He added: "I could not say a word, I could not go anywhere without flashbulbs going off on all sides. I felt that the public would re act badly to this flashing pub licity."

Pope John Stresses Need for Simplicity VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John s~essed the need for the virtue of simplicity at .his regu lar general audience here. Speaking to about 1,000 peopl~ III the Vatican's Clementine Hali, the Holy Father said that llimplicity should regulate social De1ations so that people do not weigh what they give to others. He stated that men must do each thing at the right time carefully and bear whatever discomforts they encounter without showing • "funereal" expression. He added that the secret of serenity is to· be found in the peace of God, in the practice of justice and in respect· for the rights of others.

BOMBAY (NC)-The Catholic Church in Goa has complete reli gious freedom but it also has money problems, a Catholic lay leader said here. A.

"Religious liberty obtains all over the land," he said. He noted that there has been no interference with Church activ ity, apart from minor inciqents. (Catholics make up a third of Goa's population of 650,000.) The feast of St. Francis Xavier has been declared a public holi day, he said, and visitors con tinue to go to the saint's tomb. Last year's visitors included non-Christian national and state government officials, he added. The Church's problems in . Goa now, Soares said, is finances. The Portuguese government used to subsidize the Church with about $147,000 a year, he noted. Consequently, Goans did not have to support the arch-

THE :\NCHOR-Diocese of Fan River-Thurs., Jan. 24, 1?63
Fu'neral Masses Continued from Page One wake and the development of the custom of reciting the Rosary for the deceased, the Bishop said in "earlier days - it was customary for Catholics to keep the body of the departed relative in the home until the hour of the funeral- service in the church." Rosary "Friends dropped in to pay their respects, to offer their sympathy to the family, and to offer a brief private prayer for the soul of the departed. At times small groups gathered to recite the Rosary," he continued. "It then became the practice to have the Rosary at a scheduled time. The home, however, often lacked space to accommodate the crowd. Eventually the practice of keeping the body at home ceased, and the Rosary recitation was transferred to the mortuary or to the church," the Bishop said. "The number of persons attending the evening Rosary service has increased through the years. Attendance at the morn- . ning funeral Mass has been declining," he said. From a religious viewpoint, Bishop Buswell said the shift in emphasis from the funeral Mass to the evening Rosary has been regrettable. The Rosary ,service is non-liturgical, and is not recognized in the burial rituai of the Church, he said. .. ''The Mass will be moved from the morning hours to the evening, putting spiritual emphasis where it belongs, on the Mass and accompanying Absolution," he said. The Bishop said funeral Masses can be arranged for the morning hours it preferred.
Questions Attitude of UN Toward Russia's Colonies By Most Rev. Robert J. Dwyer, D. D. Bishop of Reno
We 'are an edified by the hardihood of the United Nations, lecturing Portugal on the subject of her African colonies. This proves that the Free World is not one bit afraid to speak up to dictators. True, it is not clear just what effect 'these salutary injunctions are making upon has taken on' this new dimension that hardy perennial, Dr. of meaning largely in the last Salazar, whose opinion of the two decades, since the end of UN may not be exactly enthu.iastic. But let him beware; unless Angola and MoiambiQue . are free within the year the n tyranny will be swept out with the besom of justice. and righteousness. We Guiselv-es have .aid it and it's greatly' to our ere'dit. " .Most emphatically, we hold no brief for the Portuguese record iIl' her African possessions. Time was, centuries back, when the liitle country that produced the· navigator kin g s, adventurers like Albuquerque, Cabral, .and Mendez Pinto, and legendmakers like the poet Camoens, yielded to none in the art of recreating civilization in the far earners of the globe. The Portuguese stamp is indelible on that vast, sprawling giant of the New 'World, Brazil, and it is at least . enduring in the Far East and i'n India. But' somehow, in Africa, there was . a failure of impulse. Granted that neither geography nor ethnology offered too much in the way of inducement, still it should have been expected that over four centuries of occupation Portugal "{ould have done a better job. The criticism reflects 'as harshly on the Portugese Church as upon the state. Irony of Situation Not that others have much il'eason to carp at Portugal's failure. The French record in many parts of emerging Africa Is little better, that of Belgium in the Congo notoriously worse, while even Great Britain, that paragon of colonizers, has come an equal cropper in those areas of comparable physical difficult¥ and cultural backwardness. The consummate irony' of the situation, however, does not lie in the pharisaism of the Western nations which have matched or surpassed Portugal's colonial bungling. It lies in the sheer indecency of Russia's intervention in the case. But it seems that, willynilly, the United Nations are set on imposing self-determination on the Portuguese colonies, just as fast as possible, and even at the expense of armed interference with the stubborn colonial administration. Portugal is small and, unimportant; an example can be made of her without too much trouble. Then of course all the major offenders, quaking in their boots, will promptly reform and the stigma of. colonialism will be removed from the face of the earth. Hate Word Colonialism is a hate word.

the Second World War. Before that time it was a reasonably neutral expression, and it hardly occurred to the average stude~t of early American history that the Colonial period was one of shame and infamy. If England had not colonized the Atlantic seaboard of North America then obviously some other power would have done so, and avid readers would be absorbing this column in Dutch or French or Spanish, as the die might have fallen. It was' not because of any political or moral obloquy in colonialism that the colonies revolted from the mother country, . but simply because they felt they had outgrown their swad:dling clothes. . Denial of Values But there has arisen a. new school of historiographers who would rewrite the entire human record in terms of the iniquity of colonialism. It is a kind of puritanism run wild, a libertarianism which would solemnly et;luate forms of humap culture, a levelling which would reduce the highest civilizations to the very lowest; in a passionate denial of values. These critics would deny all virtue to the colonial record; it signifies nothing to them that by its means the Chr.istian culture of the West has made such enormous strides, meeting and contacting and finally amalgamating with that of the East to produce a synthesis whose greatness we of today can only dimly surmise. And of course, the communication of Christianity as a religion, however imperfectly, is scoffed at or condemned as a pious imposition. Record .of Free Will Sins have been committed in the name of colonialism, some of them the most enormous on the human conscience. The Black Legend of Spanish brutality is not all a legend;.it only happens to be outclassed by the plain fact that where Spain colonized the, native popuhitioris have survived, whereas where the British colonized, they were simply killed off. But to decry colonialism as the villain of history is naive and childish. History is filled with villains, just as it is filled with saints. It.is the record of man's free will in action. Doubtless Portugal in Mrica' will have to go, whether this year or next, whether peacefully or in the agonies of jungle warfare. There is no resisting the tidal wave of moral indignation which the very mention of the ~ord colonialism sends surging over the face of the earth. Kremlin Sacred Cow But if Angola and Mozambique are to repeat the frightful story of the Congo, it may be questioned whether the technique of moral indignation is sufficient for the process. Some intermediate stage of guardianship would seem to be essential for these areas before they are thrust into the arena of competitive world powers. We might even have to swallow our hatred for the" word colonialism, for that is precisely what the idea intends, a colonialism to end colonialism. But while the UN is about it, in its splendid moral rapt4re, what about the colonies in thrall ot the most hateful tyranny of all, the Kremlin of. Mr. 'Kr~sh chev? Or is it impoliti<; to annoy Sacred Cows?

MONUMENT IN MAKING: In the making is a model of the commemorative monument of Pope Pius XII, who
did not want one. The College of Cardinals decided to set aside his wish and commissioned sculptor Francesco Messina of Milan to execute the work. The 12-foot statue will be installed in the chapel of Blessed Innocent XI in St. Peter's Basilica sometime this year. NC Photo.
Argue Lease Is Legal Alaska City Joins Nuns in Plea For ~ospital Administration JUr.."EAU (NC) - Lease of a hospital in. Ketchikan to a nuns' community is for the good of.the city and in no way violates the U. S. Constitution, according to a brief filed with the state Supreme Court. Attorneys for the City of Ketchikan,. which is building the hospital, and for the Sisters of st. Joseph of Newark,. who would operate the hospital, filed the brief." It urges the state high court to uphold a First District Superior Court ruling which, in effect, approved the lease. The . Superior Court had dismissed a brief filed by O. M. Lien, a Ketchikan taxpayer, who held that the lease is unconstitutional. Lien then appealed to the State Supreme Court. He contended that the hospital would be conducted by a religious group contrary to his beliefs and he would be com. pelled "to support a religious establishment." The Ketchikan-Sisters of st. Joseph brief says the purpose of the lease is to aid the city.· to provide hospital functions. "The fact that hospital functions under the lease are administered by persons professing a religion . or professing no reli-
gion is neither relevant or' material, nor may it be constitutionally inquired into," the brief states. Hospital Facilities It says further: ,,* •• Every decided case on the subject, in America holds that lease to a charitable corporation of a hospital for operation by it is for the purpese of providing hospital facilities: and not for the purpose of providing religious facilities; or religious education." The hospital is being built with state and Federal funds and the preceeds from a $1.2 million general obligation bond issue floated by the city, which will be repaid by one per cent of the city's three per cent sales tax.
Movie Ratings Continued from. Page One At the same time the legion placed, "The Devil's Wanton," an early film made by Ingma~ Bergman, Swedish director, in its separate class because it "contains philosophical and theological elements which can be confusing to an immature viewer." The film distributed by E~ bassy, the legion said, is morally unobjectionable and may be "of possible interest to students" of Bergman's w9rkS. A separate classification is given by the legion to certain films which "while not morally offensive in themselves, require caution and some analysis and explanation as a protection to the uninformed against wrong interpretations and false conclusions." "A Child Is Waiting" was placed in the A-2 class, morally unobjectionable for adults and adolescents. The legion made the following observation: ''This film is an unsentimental drama about mentally retarded children and the dedication of those who care for them. As an inspiring trioute to the priceless dignity of a human life, 'A Child Is Waiting' is recommended to the patronage of adults and young people."

Largest State Meet in Boston Climax of Indoor Track Year
recent settlement of the A.A.U. U.S.T.F.F. squabble insures a banner fi e I d for the BAA. which once again is under the astute di rection of Will Cloney, veteran Boston sports scribe. The story out of New York recounting the hatchet-burying of the warring track factions was not without the traditional hard-nosed ap-' proach for which General Doug las McArthur, President Ken nedY'1 choice to· arbitrate the matter, became duly noted dur ing his brilliant military careed. It seems the General refused to break off negotiations even for lunch, whereupon the harried and hungry disputants made abort shrift of their differences and hied off. to the nearest beanery. Both sides compromised to effect a final settlement. The A.A.U. recognized the N.C.A.A. backed U.S. Track and Field Federation as the agent respon sible for high school and col legiate a t hie tie s, while the N. C. A. A. ackl10wledged the A.A.U. as the international gov erning body, a position that it had sought to wrest from the older organization through its U.S. Track and Field Federation. At any rate, suspensions and bans have been lifted and the word is "Go" for the leading track and field aspirants who have been nervously pacing the sidelines while club sponsored and foreign athletes took over the spotlight in the two major indoor meets held thus far. The same reconciliation which comes most opportunely for the BAA. is to lOme degree retributive justice for it was Boston and the K of C Games that had to bear the initial brunt of the discord between the two ruling groups. Southeastern Mass will be well represented in· the State Meet with a host of teams sched uled to participate. New Bedford High which finished second in the schoolboy BAA.

Dick Munson of New Bedford Has 18.67 .Average .By Lynn Kennedy Dick Munson of Stonehill really takes his basketball seriously, and Coach Fran O'Brien of the' Chieftains
from North Easton, for one, is extremely glad he does. For MunsOn, ex New Bedford High luminary, is unquestionably the chief reason for Stonehill's 8-5 record to date. The 6'5" pivot man sports a glittering 18.67 game average and in all twelve games he's been in Dick has been in double figures. But, if· Munson has become a success at Stonehill, it's only be ceuse he plays basketball all year round. It was only a few short years ago that the 20 year old junior "couldn't play basket ball worth two cents." At least tha't's what his father, E. M. Munson, Jr., of 558 Union Street, laughingly recalls. "Dick was very shy ·and re served, and considerably self conscious about his height. He didn't·even like to put shorts on when he was over at Keith i Junior High)." But then Dick discover~ his height was fast becoming an asset under the hoop. He began to like the game. When he got to New Bedford High, Crimson coaches Stan Grabiec and Al Palmieri took Munson' under their tutelege. A fast learner, he went on to become one of the finest basketball players to wear Crimson colors. As his interest in basketbaD grew, Dick would play any where, anytime.
