tion from St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, sum up the project they will embark upon tomorrow, when they will fIy to the Diocese of Brownsville, Tex. to pioneer a foundation of their community in the small town of Raymondville.

At the request of Bishop Humberto S. Medeiros, formerly Chancellor of the Fall River Diocese and pastor of St. Michael's Church, Fall River, the Sisters will work in the Raymondville hospital and inaugur. ate a home health and homemaking service in the area around the hospital.

Leading the group will be Sister Camille, who has been instructing freshmen in St. Anne's School of Nursing for tlte past four years since her arrival from the community's French province. In the Brownsville Diocese she will be a staff nurse at the 25 bed Raymondville Memorial Hospital.

Sister Therese Joseph, at St. Anne's for 15 years, and also from the French Province, has worked in the hospital admitting room and business office. In Texas she will work with Sister Paul Denis, third member of the

"If I'm working with children, I'll be happy," she said.

Sister Paul Denis, of St. Louis de France parish, Swansea, has been in the St. Anne's commu-

nity nearly five years. Last June she graduated from Boston College with a bachelor of science degree and since then she has been on duty in St. Anne's operating room.

"This 'concept has been generally endorsed thro\Jghout the country, has been encouraged by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and has been ruled to be constitutional by the Attorney General of Massachu· sets."

"The main reason that it is not more commonly put into use is that most public school systems are already short of facilities, and are not in a position to take Cahtolic school students for part of the. school day."

"Another difficulty is that unle~s the two schools are located near each other and have coor· dinated schedules, it is practically impossible because of administrative problems to implement such a program."

Father O'Neill will also say: "Recently Dr. Neil V. Sullivan, Commissioner of Education for Massachusetts, advised that if a Catholic school was about to close in a given community, the local public school authorities

The Milwaukee educator told 1,000 at the annual Citizens for Educational Freedom rally here: "We are all ·fighting for .educational freedom. Let's be cautious that we don't give it away."

Father Blum, .who has been associated with CEF since it began in 1959, favors a tuition grant concept of ai~ to nonpub· lic school students as opposed to purchase of services or salary grants.

all of the recommendations he has received, including one from Dr. Milton Eisenhower, University of Chicago economist, now one of President Nixon's aides, has been for tuition grants to parents of non-public school students.

Citing some statistics for Iowa, he said from 1966 to 1969, 20,675 non-public school students switched to public schools.

Using a cost figure of $775 per student, the amount public school officials use to educate a child, the expenditure comes to almost $16 million.

Charges Attack Against Church In Germall1ly

New usee Department Director Stresses Environmental ,Crisis

LIPPSTADT(NC)-An attack is under way against the Catholic Church in Germany t~day that is finding success where even Hitler failed, a Catholic weekly has charged here.

According to the non-official Neue Bildpost, a tabloid with a circulation of 450,000 'and a highly conservative outlook, the onslaught has failed to stir a response from the German Bishops Conference or from individual bishops or the apostolic nuncio to Germany.

Some of the signs of the fight, ·which the publications says aims to "break as far as possible the influence of the pope, the bishops, the clergy and the commit· ted laymen," are listed: Removal of crucifixes from courtrooms.

Plans to abolish completely the state-supported but churchoperated schools.

Prohibition on prayer in some public schools.

Little Indignation Demands by some liberals to forbid the ringing of church bells.

A campaign to remove all restrictions on pornography.

Ri.ght to Life

WASHINGTON (NC) - The new director of the Department of International Affairs, United States Catholic Conference, b "convinced the Earth might become the cesspool of the universe" if the environmental crisis is not stopped.

Msgr. Marvin Bordelon, Wllv assumes his new post while continuing as director of the Division of World Justice and Peace, told NC News Service the Department of International Affairs will be greatly concerned with ecological deterioration during the 1970s.

"I don't want to give the impression that we will be dropping all else," he said, "but we will be deeply involved in studying the environmental crisis."

This crisis, he said, "knows no boundaries," and thus is truly an international problem, affecting his department. As an example, 'he asked: "By what right can Cleveland pollute Lake Erie when its other side touches upon Canada?"

Msgr. Bordelon also said his department will have to deal with the population question, 'which will involve extensive study before any conclusions are reached.

He explained that there are new' miracle seeds being developed that will be able to produce food to feed the world's growing population. But one of the prob-

lems involved is that the fertilizer needed to produce this abundance might cause further pollution and harm the very people who are being fed.

Lack of Concern Msgr. Bordelon said the United States "is creating a drain on natural resources as a result of being a consumer nation."

Selfishness is being expressed, he declared, when no due regard is shown for' preserving resources. Msgr., Bordelon said there seems to be a lack of concern for future generations on the part of many present day consumers. ' Another related problem Msgr.

Bordelon's department will study is development in Latin America.

Is development there, he asked, "just creating another consumer economy?"

A big task facing Msgr. Bordelon in his new position is the review of the structure and objectives of the department. The USCC Committee on International Affairs is currently studying these items.

Purpose of the review, Msgr.

Bordelon said, is to determine if there are too many, or too few, divisions within the department, and whether or not the functions of some divisions should be transferred to other units, or perhaps ,dropped altogether, or even expanded.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI addressing some 300 participants in an international congress on canon law, said the church's law should be seen "first and foremost as a necessary guarantee of man's freedom and dignity."

Canon law, he saifl, is "a norm that tends chiefly to interpret a double law, the higher and, di,vine law and the inner moral law of conscience," It "promotes and protects and balances as far as is possible in our human condition both rights and corresponding duties, both freedom and re!iponsibility, both the, dignity of the person' aild the sovereign demands of the common' good." , The Pope reaffirmed that the Church is a, visible society.

They will live in a small house a short distance from the hospital and say they'lI find grocery shopping and housekeeping for three a change from life in the large St. Anne community.

Many of those in the Ray· mondville area are nominal Catholics, said Sister Camille, but there is, a great belief in witchcraft and fear of hospitals.

An important part of the Sisters' work will be health education of mothers so that they'll regard hospitalization and procedures such as vaccinations as health aids rather than something to be dreaded. . "We'll probably be teaChing cooking and sewing too," said Sister Therese Joseph .

The Sisters will live with two Sisters- already active in the Raymondville parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe for about two .weeks, until their own house is ready, said Sister Camille.

Why a Decline ?

The Gallup Poll' has released figures indicating that forty-two per cent of adults in the United States attended church in a' typical week in 1969 and that this figure is 7 per cent less than in 1958.

Catholic attendance' was put at sixty-three per cent and 'Protestant attendance at thirty-seven per cent.

The decline in Cijtholic attendance is eleven percentage points ~since' 1958.

Aid to Brownsville The Dominican foundation in Brownsville is the latest helping hand extended to the Texas Dio· cese by:FaII River, where Bishop Medeiros' family still lives and where he is warmly remembered.

Several years ago Rev. Joseph Delaney of this Diocese vol un. teered for service in Brownsville and is still there.

Many fundraising events have been held in FilII River with proceeds sent to Bishop Medeiros, and one school has for two years for.egone its annual Christmas party, sending a. contribution to Brbwnsv'm'e instead. '~ . ,.. , Bishop Medeiros has gained wide attention for his work in Texas. This month he was among 12 prelates featured on the front cover of a national magazine under the caption "These Bishops are the hope of the American Church." .

A recent report concerning the Second Vatican Council stated that 43 percent of the Catholics interviewed in a particular diocese had never heard of the .very existence of the Council.

'To borrow an old advertising phrase: Really, is this any way to run a church? ' It is quite evident that what this survey indicated, in one diocese, is true of most dioceses in the country.· ' And: this is truly a sad indictment of those who have the re~ sponsibility to inform and teach the peopie of God.

Who really is to blame if the people of, the Church do not know even the fact of the Council's existence, never mind its undertakings?

Who has the obligation to explain the Council and its decrees to the laity? The answer is the clergy.

It is tragic when we must admit-as we should-that there are many parish priests and members of religious orders who have never taken a serious study of Vatican II, in depth or in meaning;

it is not the' job of the local newspaper or the com· munications media to do the work of the clergy. Nor is it a task that should be left solely to the diocesan publication. . It is the duty of an informed clergy and especially of an informed parish priest who should know what he is talking about when he preaches The Word to the people on'Sunday mornings, and, in some dioceses, also on Saturday evenings.

The ordinary Catholic goes to church-we hope-at least once ;J' week. He t' listens to what 'God only knows.' It is from the

parish pulpit that the majority, of Catholics are informed of the life o'f the Church and its contemporary spirituality. , Parish bazaars, budgets and bingo are not found in the Scriptures, or, the Council. .

C,ertainly, the words of Vatican II have substantial homiletic substance. However, these words presume knowledge.

One cannot impart true mean. jng to others unless there is the possession of' competence and understanding. ' A great crusade must begin!

ST. LOUIS (NC) - St. Louis University has announced a drive to raise $35 million in the coming five years, primarily for faculty development and student aid.

It has been suggested that some form of continuing studies for the clergy might be held in each and every diocese, in an organized and regulated fashion.

This is a good idea!

There are priest study groups in many dioceses and there arc many priests who are pursuing advanced studies on their own .

This is not enough, howev~r.

Every priest who stands be· fore the people of God should be exposed to a professional program of extended education be· yond the 'good old seminary' clays.'

Prelate Declares Hospital-Priests Work

Diffi~u~t

DAYTON (NC)-Catholic hospital chaplains carryon a necessary work of the Church in the face of increasingly complex problems, Archbishop Paul F. Leibold told the Cincinnati Archdiocesan Association of Catholic Cha plains.

Addressing the association at a luncheon meeting in Good Samaritan Hospital here, Archbishop Leibold compared the role of hospital chaplains to that of "the Minute Men," because spiritual care of the sick "cannot be programmed or scheduled."

However, new developments in medicine and in hospital administration "demand some fresh new looks at our work today," the archbishop said.

Priestly Service For example, sophisticated new hospital equipment leading to "a more impersonal handling of the patient" calls for "greater care by the chaplain for the patient as a man with a soul and faith."

The archbishop also cited, growing recognition by the medical profession of the role of religion in patient health, new emphasis on counseling and psychiatry in chaplain techniques, and new modes of hospital administration - all of which, he said, "lead to the making of a hospital chaplain into a profes!;ional more than a simple, holy, priestly man caring for souls."

This trend, he added, "can very easily incline the chaplain to judge his work; his hours and r.alary from a professional rather than a priestly point of view. I helieve in quality and expert service, but first pri!jstly servu . ;) o

New Areas of Concern Other factors affecting the work of the chaplain, Archbishop Leibold said, include "soaring costs and government regula1ions, making us pause and ask just what is a Catholic hospital, and should the Church be in this business at all."

He also referred to the expansion of nursing homes, the phas· ing out of nursing schools in Catholic hospitals, the reduction in numbers of Religious personnel assigned to hospitals, new developments in theology, the development of chaplains' organizations, and the ecumenical movement as "new areas of concern in your work."

Acknowledging that he had "no closed door view of any of them," Archbishop Leibold declared: "All I am certain of and admit is that we need you; you are doing Christ's work; our primary concern is the souls of men and providing them with supernatural life and guiding and encouraging them on their way to God."

Pope Contributes $1,000 to UNICEF UNITED NATIONS (NC)-The Holy See has made its 17th annual $1,000 contribution to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

The sum was transmitted to Henry R. Labouisse, director of UNICEF, by Jean' Cardinal Villot, papal secretary of state,' who wrote that it was being sent at the request of Pope Paul VI "in encouragement and support of UNICEF's work."

"I am to assure you of the Holy Father's prayers for .you and UNICEF in your great and meritorious work of helping children in need lind distress," the cardinal wrote.

llfavor Evers Promises to Make ,Fayette Best Little Town in .Jf7 hole World <>I

FAYETTE (NC) - .C h a r I e s Evers, mayor of this town of 1,700 in the southwest corner of Mississippi, says one of the biggest efforts of his first eight months in office has been to be accepted as the mayor by both blacks and whites. He believes he's been pretty successful on this score.

Six·foot, 235-pound Mayor Evers also predicts that the tide of Mississippi black political gains, which he so vividly symbolizes as the brother of slain civil rights leader, Medgar Evers, is not about to stop rising: Within five years, he forecast in an interview with NC News Service, "I think we're going to double the number of blacks elected to political office" in Mississippi by comparison with the 83 elected mostly within the last four years.

Things Happen Fast Since the forceful Evers, who still also fills his brother's job in Jackson as field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, defeated Mayor R. J. Allen, 77, a tree farmer and a white man, 433 votes to 264, last May 14, things have been happening at a pretty fast clip for Fayette.

Not a few' blacks in Jefferson County, half of whose citizens live below the federal government's poverty line, have taken heart at evidences that Evers means to carry out his election promise "to make Fayette the best little town in the whole world."

"First, people had to recognize me as the, mayor;. not as 'the' tiger' or as 'the cold business man,''' Evers said, in a reference to the Medgar Evers ShOpping Center at the southern end of Fayette where he has a supermarket, office and small apartment.

Dollars, industry, education

Seek United Front for Echu.:ation Aid ST. PAUL (NC) - -Representatives of three major state organizations concerned with' non public education agreed to take 0 steps to insure a united front during the 1971 session of the Minnesota Legislature.

Officials of the ,Minnesota Catholic Conference (MCC) and the Minnesota Citizens for Educational Freedom (CEF) agreed to form a joint-liaison committee to study legislative alternatives, to develop a timetable and checklist for legislative action, and, ultimately, to form a specific legislative proposal.

A spokesman for the Minne· sota State Council of the Knights of Columbus said his or· ganization would endorse and support whatever legislative proposal MCC adopted.

In another development, the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocesan board of education authorized a $10,000 loan to CEF, providing "seed money" for development of membership reo cruiting programs and materials.

Taunton Blind Members of Taunton Guild for the Blind will meet Tuesday, Feb. 17 at Marian Manor. Highlighting the last meeting was a: production of "Come to the Stable," presented by students of Sacred Heart School and directed by Sister Adrienna de Champlain.

MAYOR CHARLES EVERS and support from non-UncleToms arc also part of the Evers dream of putting Fayette, an expiring former cotton emporium, back <:In its feet. The town really serves 10,000 people in Jefferson County, he noted.

Newspaper Appeal ' One of the biggest boosts-in dollars-came to Evers from hundreds of Michigan Catholics in this way: Last Aug. J 4, the Michigan Catholic, Detroit archdiocesan newspaper, in a front page editorial called attention to the plight facing Evers when he took office from the white adminis-

Urges' Co~peration On Mixed M~fiI'iage MUNICH (NC) - An official Catholic - Protestant working group on marriage and: the family has urged the Catholic and Protestant' bishops of West Germany to intensify cooperation in the area of mixed marriages.

The group gave a memorandum on mixed marriages, entitled "Christian Unity in Marriage," to Julius Cardinal Doepfner of Munich, president of the German Bishops' Conference, and Lutheran Bishop Hermann Dietzfelbinger, chairman of the Protestant Church Council.

The document recommended leaving the decision concerning the religious education of children up to the parents. The churches should also consider recognizing the validity of civil marriages, it said.

Stresses Incr~Ql§e

hil School Cosh BUFFALO (NC)-Parish operated grammar schools in the Buffalo' diocese experienced a 300 per cent cost increase while parishioner contributions to offset the cost increased only 15 per cent during the last decade, the diocesan office of communications revealed.

The diocesan school system educates more than 80,000. grammar school youngsters throughout eight counties at an annual school·tax savings to the community or more than $80 million a year, the office said.

To drive this point home, the Diocesan Federation of Home School Associations has mount· cd a bumper sticker campaign emphasizing the tax savings effected by the contribution of non public schools and urging the community at large to support such a system.

tration. The town's general fund was so depleted it could not meet its fiscal responsibilities.

The mayor went on national television with his appeal.

"The biggest contribution came from the Catholics in Michigan - $25,000 or $30,000 mostly in small bills," Evers related.

The newspaper's editorial, entitled, "Dr. King's Dream Worth a Dollar?" asked each of the paper's 160,000 readers to send a dollar to the mayor's emergency fund to save his administration.

Praises Dishop Fayette's white grumbled about beggary when their black mayor pleaded for funds over TV, but quieted down on learning that the appeal reaped $100,000, more than the town's annual budget had ever been.

While praising this church effort, Mayor Evers is especially bitter about the record of black "Uncle Tom" clergy, who "could do so much to help us" but actually "do so little" to turn racial justice into fact.

An exception, he specified, was Catholic Bishop Joseph B. Brunini of Natchez-Jackson, who has "come out loud and clear" for school integration.

Teach Vietnamese TV Production SAIGON (NC)-Jesuits at the Alexandre de Rhodes' Center here have begun a program of training Vietnamese in all aspects of television prod!Jction. The fiJ;st ciass has already begun a fivc·mo.nth training program.

The Jesuits set up the Televi· sion Service Center for Community Development to develop educational television as a mean of helping South Vietnam solve some of its educational problems.

The country needs education and the educating must be done rapidly. Schools are being built for youngsters, but the only hope of educating adults is through educational programming on ra· dio and television.

It is estimated that more than 60 per cent of the people have had only two or three years of schooling, and many have had no formal education at all. The two-thirds of the population engaged in farming or fishing form the majority of the uneducated and will be the target of the educational television programs.'

In New· Phase BOSTON (NC)-A "healthy return to, formal prayer" has been noticed among Catholic seminarians across the nation, it was reported here at the Eastern Regional Conference of Seminary Spiritual Directors.

Reporting on the present state of progress in seminaries, Msgr.

James F. Coffey, rector of Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, N. Y., said the institutions "are entering a phase of restructuring," having passed through the "totally structured and the unstructured phases" of seminary life.

The spiritual directors were 'asked their opinion of the effect of the "open campus" on seminary life. Under this policy, students are less restricted to the campus than they were under former regulations which also dictated specific times for prayer.

With relaxation of the rules, the conference was told, seminarians are now free to plan their own schedules.

Community Life The rectors admitted they recognize some difficulty in rrlaintaining community life and spirit in the new order of. the day, but agreed that it is here to stay and with the new freedoms they can create a greater personal responsibility.

Effective use of the "open campus," the conference was told, demands for its success the total dedication of faculty members, who will be expected to participate more than ever in the personal spiritual formation of the seminarians. The spiritual directors, it was pointed out, become coordinators of the efforts of the faculty under the wider responsibility of the rectors.

Sees 'Uphall Task' foll' Unity Workers LONDON (NC)-After claiming that enthusiasts for Christian unity have "an uphill task ahead," a weekly Catholic review here urged ordinary Catholics not to wait for the theologians but to work for unity themselves in their own way.

The magazine, the Tablet, claimed that unecumenical Catholics are "disloyal" and "unfaith· ful" to Christ Himself.

The Tablet said it does not share the view of those "who feel that the ecumenical movement is losing some of its impetus," but admitted that it is true "that some of the heady enthusiasm of the early days of joint services, joint meetings, joint action is waning. The novelity is wearing off.

"Certainly those who are concerned to ensure that the initiative given by Vatican II shall not lose its effectiveness have an uphill task ahead of them,"

Solution for Sibling Figh'ts

Still, Eludes 'Parents

By Joseph and MariByn Roderick An ungodly ~hriek emerges from. the upstairs followed by "She hit me daddy, she really did."

I This scene is repeated in many households and is the most frustrating position a' parent can be in. Because before you start to settle the situation you know there, is no correct solution.

What probably hapllened w~s that Meryl tapped Melissa, Melissa screamed and the fiasco began. Who is to' be punished, who is; to be warned, who -is at fault?

The solution lies with greater minds, stronger hearts, and more patient beings than Marilyn and myself. '.

No Solution We have spoken to many parerits about' problems confronted in bringing up cHildren, but this incessant in-fighting which goes on between brother and sister and sister and sister, etc., is one of the most disturbing parents face. Nothing tears my insides out more than to heal' tlie children arguing, but I am told by other parents that they go through the same thing. And none of them seems to have found a solution. .

But we are also' told tha:t '. when'th'e'" chlldrEln"are grown thl;ly become the best of. friends and forget all of the problems' of ' the past. Parents may never recover from the offspring's rivalries, but the children live through it all. So we await the day when the only shriek we hear is one of delight and not of anguish; in the meantime we will continue to come out on the losing end of the endless feuding.

In the Kitchen One of.the most gratifying improvements to come out of our house remodeling is a ,built-in bookshelf that almost didn't get built. It was quite by accident that the day our construction man was debating what to do with the side of a closet wall that faced my kitchen counter, the public library called inquiring after a long-overdue cookbook that turned up buried under a large pile 'of my Gourmet magazines. . "There just isn't any room to put my cookbooks and magazines," I wailed into his sympathetic ear.

"Why not build a bookshelf on this wall," was his quick reply, and within a few hours I was the proud owner of a marvelous open' bookcase just one 5tep away. from my kitchen counter. I don't think he realized that he had given me a gift that I will enjoy' as much as' any other item of furniture in the house. .

WASHINGTON (NC)-Mother churches will find it increasingly difficult to protect themselves from rebellious congregations because of the Supreme Court's refusal to review appeals from Georgia and Maryland, where secessionist parishes have taken control of property.

A Georgia Supreme Court ruling in favor of two Savannah . congregations was allowed to stand over' the objection of the Pr~sbyterian Church.

The Hull Memorial and Eastern Heights churches severed connections with theIr mother church in 1966 and refused to give up about $170,000 worth of property.

This Year's Weddings Hav~ Romance for Watchword

Defines R'el igion -rreachers' Role

By Marilyn Roderick

All brides are beautiful but the girl who is planning a Spring or Summer wedding this year has a great deal going for her in addition to her ow~ inner glow. Ro~ance is the byword and gowns appear to be made of spun dreams, yesterday's valenup out of yards and yards of tines and lavender and old ing overdone lace. Even then I had lace. It strikes me as quite enough sense to know that such ironic that in this age of a gown would have overpowered quickie marriages, and even' quicker divorces, there has been a return to the wedding gown that is nothing but traditional.

There's not a mini gown, or pant suit in sight and one could almost imagine that this was the fifties, not the roaring seventies. Color is seen as an accent note but this is mostly found on the flowered embroidery or ribbon trim that accents the customary white.

One gown that is just breathtaking has a scattering of appliqued blossoms strewn across the hemline, accenting the empire waistline and encircling the neck and capped sleeves.

Pink Ribbons This lovely creation was der,igned by Barbara for Murray Hamburger and has a matching headpiece made up of the lavender, blue and white blossoms. , Pink embroidered ribbons are another fairy tale touch that designers are adding to the wedding gowns for Spring and Sum_., mer of '70, ,Miss; Rosf) for Exquisite i~' showing a: white organza, dream that is striped with bands of white embroidery over pink satin ribbons and Christos for Bouquet has created another dream of white organiza with the tight bodice and slender sleeves made-up of pink ribbon pulled over, under and through lace. Even Juliet would be envious of the brides of today.

It does appear to me that there are more simple but effective wedding gowns around today than there were 12 years ago when I was married. I remember visiting the local bridal shops and being overwhelmed by the gaudiness and over-decorated look that was typical of the bridal gowns of the fifties. At that time you· really had to search to find a simple, elegant creation.

In those long ago days I weighed all of 100 pounds so you can imagine how chic my bones would 'have looked stick-

me and made me look like a half-drowned' Ophelia rather than a radiant bride.

Fortunately a friend had been married the Summer before in a very simple batiste gown without a ruffle or frill on it. She kindly offered' it to me and with a few alterations it was lovelier than any I was able to find in the stores. ..

Hand Sewn Some of the loveliest gowns I have seen over the years have been sewed either by the loving hands of the bride's mother or by a talented friend. One in particular stands out in my mind, the gown worn by Mrs. Joseph' Ryan of Holy Name parish in Fall River.

A friend of Natalie's who was a talented seamstress, Miss Laura Nobrega, also of Fall River, created a stunning dream of a gown for her in white velvet accented with. lace appliques. !hat was at least 11 years ago and I don't think I have seen a lovlier Winter wedding gown since.

My very humble advice to the girl who wants a storybook wedding today is to shop early for your gown (or if you're going to take part in its creation, also begin this early); 'If you ate',able:' to" visit 'some of the big city stores, 'try - to do' '56'; oaf 'least you'll have the feeling that you looked in all possible spots.

If you do' see a dress in a magazine that strikes your fancy, take down the name of the designer and the nearest stores that carry that designer's line, get in contact with their bridal buyers and see if they can help you. A perfect wedding takes a great deal of planning to look as if it just happened!

Vote to Expand Abbot's Council

THE ANCHORThurs., Jan. 29, 1970

Cardinal Heenan Cites Progre$s Toward Unity

ST. BENEDICT (NC) - In a continuing effort to implement the renewal urged by Vatican II, the Benedictine monks of Mount Angel Abbey here in Oregon voted at a community meeting to expand the abbot's council from four to six members, half elected by the monks.

Previously, the council had four members - one chosen by the community, three by Father Abbot Damian Jentges, O.S.B. The council works as an advisory board to the abbot, with decisive power in some administrative areas. Council members will be chosen annu.ally. .../ Father Abbot Damian and two other ~onks from Mount Angel also attended the Benedictine renewal chapter in Louisiana during the Fall. That meeting produced a renewal document, the Covenant of Peace, which was four years in the making.

The Covenant is divided into three parts: the Rule of St. Benedict; a Declaration on Benedictine Monastic Life, which provides the minimal legal structure needed for individual houses of the Benedictine Federation of' the Americas to function.

"Members of the general chapter were acutely aware that the renewal process must be a matter of continuous growth," said Father Thomas' Brockhaus, O.S.B., one of the monks who accompanied the abbot. "This is evident from the fact that they decided just to mimeograph the Covenant, not to print it."

LONDON (NC) - Instead of deploring the slowness of .progress toward unity, Christians \ must acknowledge that it has been to a great extent already achieved, John Cardinal Heenan of W~stminster told a unity service congregation' at Westminster cathedral here.

Summing up the situation at' the end of a sermon, the cardinal s!1id: "Instead of deploring the slowness, of progress, we may rejoice that it has grown so quic;:kly and so remarkably. We , ,~us,t contin.ue our efforts to .love and understand each other.

"Finally we must acknowledge that, to a gr,eat extent, Christian unity has already been achieved. ,Once more, the unbelieving world can say what it said in the first centuries: 'How these Christians love one another.

"For this, we thank God during this week of prayer for unity. May He increase in our hearts love for Him and for all His chiidren."

German Bishops D·efend Church Tax System

THE ANCHORThurs.. Jan. 29, 1970

Synod to Ponder Celibacy Issue

MUNICH (NC) - West Germany's Catholic bishops have issued a joint' statement strongly defending the country's church tax system, under which the state's tax officials collect the funds that keep the .churches in operation.

This system is preferable, say the bishops, because it spreads out the burden of church support in the fairest way, because it keeps the churches protected from special-interest pressure groups, and because it assures a living wage for the church employees.

At the same time, the bishops acknowledged that it is necessary to give church taxpayers a voice in the assessment and use of tax money, and to publish and explain church budgets.

The church tax system' in West Germany has been a subject of controversy in recent years. Many Germans, Catholics among them, argue that the churches should drop the stateadministered system and turn to voluntary· gifts for support.

Voluntary Basis Church taxes are set at about 10 per cent of the total income tax. In 1968 the Catholic Church received about $310,000,000 in tax funds. In reimbursement for the state's tax collection service, the churches turn back about four per cent of the total collected.

A public opinion poll taken last Summer found that only 46 per cent of German church taxpayers would continue to make contributions on a voluntary basis if the tax were dropped.

Germans may avoid paying a church ta~ by affinping, to ,;i.the state that they do not belong to any church. On this point, the joint letter of the German bishops declared that those who deny affiliation to avoiq taxes are thereby cutting themselves off from the life of the church.

To be restored to the sacraments, the bishops asserted, a Catholic claiming non-affiliation would have to make and express renunciation of that status and agree to fulfiil his tax obligation.

Poverty Increases In Poor Nations . GENEVA (NC)-According to the International Labor Office, the rich nations are still getting richer while the poor remain poor and get even poorer.

The 1969 Year Book of Labor Statistics reported that threats of unemployment in industrialized countries "receded and a revival of prosperity was noted."

At. the same time in developing countries "workers remained at a low standard of living which fell increasingly behind."

A strong economic expansion in 1969 was reported in the industrialized countries, despite a slowing down in the last months of the year. But in the world's developing nations, what statistics there are,show another picture.

According to the ILO, in these countries "unemployment and underemployment continue to be widespread, the labor surplus is increasing and monetary difficulties in these countries are reflected in deteriorating terms of trade which diminish further their limited cha'nces of creating enough productive jobs."

Think for Yourself Follow your own path, no matter what people say.

ROME (NC)-The problem of what is a .priest and the twin problem of whether he should be unmarried will almost cer· tainly. come before the Synod of Bishops at its next meeting.

This has long been "the mind of the Pope," a well-placed and well-informed source told NC News Service.

Now that the Dutch bishops have brought the long-simmering problem of celibacy to a boil by declaring themselves against mandatory celibacy-a declaration directly contrary to Pope Paul VI's express request to them-the subject could hardly be displaced from the synod's agenda.

Further, the. Dutch bishops expressly stated that the problem cannot be resolved "without consulting the Holy Father," and the Synod of Bishops, under the reforms agreed upon at its last session in October, has become the principal organ of such de· liberation.

It is also taken for granted that the bishops who become members of the expanded permanent secretariat of the bishops' synod will press for inclusion of the problem in the agenda. Pope Paul stated at the end of October's synod that the bishops of the secretariat, in the name of worldwide 'episcopacy, would be able to "put forward" items for the agenda.

During October's session, some prominent participants made it clear they wanted the problem of celibacy tackled then and there.

Announces Family Plai1l1ing; Program SAN JUAN (NC)-Gov. Luis A. Ferre of this densely populated island once more announced his decision to carry out an island wide family planning program.

"We now come to what is perhaps the greatest obstacle to the realization of the Great Task which we have set before us," he said in a message to a joint session of the Puerto Rico Senate and House. "I refer to our population growth."

Ferre, a wealthy Catholic, is the first governor to announce a birth control program without showing concern about traditional Church opposition. He also recently said he did not expect any objection from the hierarchyhere because the program will respect religious feelings.

Board Votes to Disband National Councii of Catholic Nurses WASHINGTON (NC) - There is no longer a need for the National Council; of Catholic Nurses, in the opinion of Dor·· othy Kelly, who has been its executive director the past two years. She will be out of a job Feb. 1 because NCCN's board of directors voted the organization out of existence.

Miss Kelly said the primary motive for the board's action last September was declining membership and diminishing financial resources; but she is convinced personally that because of changes in the Church and modern society such an organization is outdated.

"I'm more and more convinced that the needs and times being different, even if the resources were different, we've made the right decision," she told NC News Service.

"We have to admit that this kind of safe Catholic organization has had its day. And the bishops agree; they thought we made a wise decision," she said.

"The whole Church is in the process of reorganization. The kind of need we were organized for no longer exists. We were bordering on the line between lay organizations and professional organizations,' and the Church no longer requires this type of organization."

NCWC Affiliate Miss Kelly does not regret that her job has been eliminated.

Nor is she reductant to discuss the changes which caused the demise of an organization which she joined shortly after it was established 30 years ago.

NCCN was begun by the bishops and affililated with the former National Catholic Welfare Conference in 19~0." tha~ iWa~.1 the year Miss Kelly, who was working in Detroit, joined that city's diocesan council.

From memory, she recited the purpose of NCCN: "We were set up to take care of the spiritual, professional, social welfare of Catholic nurses, to help take care of the sick poor and to provide a corporate voice for Catholic nurses in relation to professional problems."

Membership Declines Miss Kelly joined the national staff in 1955 as editor of the Catholic Nurse. In the past two years, while serving as executive director, she also continued editing the NCCN publicationand has been the only staff member' in the national office these last two years.

At one time the national staff consisted of four persons, Miss Kelly explained, admitting that the job she's been doing "is too much" for one person. But shrinking funds over the years gradually caused the reduction in staff.

Explainingthe decline in membership, Miss Kelly said that 12 years ago NCCN's peak mem-

Schedule Meeting On Race Relation~ DUNEDIN (NC) - A National Council for Race Relations is to be set up at a conference in a bid to induce greater awareness among New Zealanders of racial problems and tensions.

Representatives of reli 6 ions, trade unions, students, welfare and service organizations will take part, with Sir Edmund Hil· lary, conqueror of Mount Everest, giving the keynote address.

Formation of the conference is a direct result of discussion on problems of racism that have sprung from the issue of whether New Zealand should engage in sports contest with South Africa.

CQtes Problems ~!l1 Chg rity Work

bership was 22,000; and now there are only 8,500 members.

At the same time, while the number of dioceses in the United States has increased, NCCN now has fewer affiliated diocesan councils.

'Impossible Situation' The peak number of councils was 112, but now there are 85 diocesan councils. However, she added, there may be even fewer than that because "more and more are disbanding" since she last counted.

"It's a vicious circle," Miss' Kelly explained. When membership declines, finances are such that the staff is decreased, with the result that inefficiency and fewer services cause more members to drop' out.

Admittedly "relieved of being in an impossibie situation," Miss Kelly has no definite plans for her future, except to take "a much-needed vacation" before accepting a position, probably in nursing.

She does, however, have definite ideas about the. future role of Catholic nurses in the Church, and is convinced they can be very influential in their profession.

Fails to Block Sale of School SALEM (NC)-Judge George A. Thompson of Essex SuperiorCourt here denied a temporary injunction against the Archdiocesan Central High Schools, Inc., in negotiating sale. of St. Peter's High School to the city of Gloucester.

Judge Thompson acted on a petition Of St. Peter's Parent Club, which contended negotiations for the sale of the $7 million institution to city officials for $4 million were held in secret meetings and violated the "fiduciary duty" of the Boston archdiocese to protect charitable trusts of the school.

Sumn~r Babcock, legal representative of the archdiocese, argued for dismissal on the grounds that the central school corporation is entitled to sell its property to whomever it wishes and an injunction would inter· fere with the freedom of a religious organization.

A demurrer, filed earlier by the archdiocese in answer to a bill of equity seeking a permanent injunction against the school negotiations will be heard by the court in a later session.

Oppose p'uerll'o Ric@ Ties With U.S. SAN JUAN (NC)-A group of about 70 priests, Religious and laity called Committed Christians has called upon the Puerto Rican hierarchy to take a firm, courageous stand against' Puerto Rico-United States relations, de· scribed as unjust and inequitable..

The group said the "Church should clearly condemn" the present relations and urged the Puerto Rican bishops to make a strong stand without regard to sacrifices and risks.

Committed Christ.ians charged the bishops with staying aloof from the situation, thus hindering ...the Christian' message of charity from reaching all of the people. The group's statement was submitted to the bishops for their consideration.

In the eyes' of the United States, the group charged, Puerto Rico is viewed in a position of dependency' and inequality.

DAYTON (NC) - Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati expressed his gratitude to Catholic Charities workers and board members and urged them to be courageous and open in -dealing with today's new problems.

Speaking at. the annual meet· ing of Dayton Catholic Charities, the archbishop said that "our new goals in a new world" make it necessary to spell out "our very reason for existence."

"We who are involved must be adaptable in the sense of being open to change," he said, "not change for change's sake, nor change in principles, but change which spells growth. We must be men of vision and, may· be most of all, men of patience.

We must in any case see ourselves involved in the total char· ity work of the Church."

Because "things are changing so fast today," he said, "our old 'system' of handling 'cases' must be constantly revised. And the cases themselves are different in many ways from those we were traditionally trained to cope' with."

Among the factors of change cited by the archbishop were poverty, racism, violence, rising costs and the breakdown of family life.

We also referred to govern: ment involvement in social welfare programs, commenting: "We do not oppose them; our concern is to help .by our experience and moral principles in the legislative planning, and then to help our poor people in the most effective use of these pro· grams."

Mixed Marriages 'Thorny Problem' COCHIN (NC)-The question of mixed marriages is one "thorny problem" that recurs frequently in the relations of Indian Catholics with Anglicans and Protestants, the Indian bish· ops' commission for ccumenism and dialogue reported here.

The commission report, presented to the Indian Bishops' Conference, said that, although much progress has been made in the field of ecumenism, its spirit and meaning has still to reach the level. of the Catholic masses in this count.ry.

Celebrant Leadership Necessary Continued from Page One - them, that they prefer not to have old habits disturbed, or not to adjust to the needs and aspi· rations of the Christian community assembled before them.

Leader of Prayer Others, impatient with the slowness of liturgical change, have all but abandoned prescribed texts, for example, and have immersed themselves in endless varieties of home-spun liturgies. Still others, in an attempt to conform, have tried to fit the new liturgical directives into old legalistic frameworks.

But for most priests, the real question is: "How should a priest pray-really pray-in the midst of toe family of men? How can he be spiritually effective in his role as the leader of com· munity prayer?"

When the priest prays among men, he must do so in a way that stimulates them to pray also. He must ·stir up their faith, and above all, their charity. Just as no textbook can guarantee a good education so the new Order of the Liturgy, in itself, 'will not guarantee a good liturgy. The celebrant, like a teacher, must add flesh to the new order.

If "presidential style" is essential to a successful liturgy, so is preparation. The multioption liturgy now given absolutely requires preparation of the Sunday liturgy of the Eucharist. Someone must develop the theme, select the options in Scripture, Eucharistic and other prayers, and music that go into making a unified Mass.

This is where the parish Iitur·

gical team comes into action. It. should include the pastor or his delegate, the coordinator of religious education in the parish, representatives of lay organizations in the parish, head of the lectors and commentators, choir director and organist, head of the leaders of song, head of the ushers, representatives of the "man in the pew" and whatever other resource people are needed, such as artists, writers, poets, dramatists.

Liturgy Team The purpose of the parish liturgy team is to be a task force serving to improve the quality of liturgical celebrations in a parish. It has two areas of activity, education and experience.

Educationally, the·team should provide parish liturgical educational programs, discover the parochial needs and desires of the parish, keep abreast with what is going on elsewhere.

Experientially, the team should evaluate the liturgy in .the parish, plan regular and special liturgical celebrations, and carry them out in the practical order.

The parish liturgy team,' in short, should share in the responsibility for the improvement of celebrations, all the more important with the introduction this Spring of the new Order of the Mass, new rites of Baptism and Matrimony. .

Although the need to plan such liturgies is primarily the responsibility of the priestcelebrant, as the leader of prayer he absolutely needs the assistance of a task-force of 'laity to fulfill his responsibility.

Royal Personages, Subjects Of '~e'w' Novel, Biography

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. J,Ohn S. Kennedy " Two sharply contrasting royal personages. similar in name but centuries apart, are the subjects. respectively, of a new novel and a new biography. The novel, Fire from Heaven (Pantheon, $7.95), is by Mary Renault and focuses on Alexander the Great (356Kings and queens were numer323 RC.). The biography, ous in her youth, but passing Queen Alexandra by Georgi- from the scene as her life ended.

Least Objectionable ' na Battiscombe, (Houghton

-:- .... '

Mifflin, 2 Park St., Boston, Mass.

02107,' $7.95), is about the wife of one 20th century king of England, Edward VII, and the mother of another. George V. Miss Renault has long since established herself in the first rank of historical novelists.

Her narratives of Greek antiquity are' based on historical fact, and what she inve!:ts to flesh this out is seamlessly consistent with known actuality. , She writes, superbly, with exquisite care, with suppleness and fire. She is at her best in thi,s account of the great Alexander. It is historical fiction of the highest caliber.

Formative Years The book does not cover all of Alexander's short, dazzling life, but is confined to the 15 years between the time when, at the age of five, he becomes aware of the poisonous conflict between his father, and 'mother, King Philip of Macedon and Queen Olympias~' a'nd the' death of Philip when Alexander, his successor and surpasser, is 20.

These, of course, are Alexander's formative years. The persons and forces influencing him are several. Primary is Philip, an extraordinary military leader who, from uncouth Macedon, establishes hegemony over most of Greece and is preparing to strike eastward and attack Persia when he is assassinated.

Survives Suspicions Spitefully pulling again Philip and jealously, trying to dominate their son is the queen, a reputed sorceress. A civilizing hand is that of Aristotle, for some years Alexander's tutor.

The prince's development as a warrior, forsighted, fearless, ,and commanding an almost fanatical loyalty from his men, is convincingly shown, as is his maturing in the arts of diplomacy and government. ' ' He adroitly picks his way through the intrigues and rival. ries which make the court of Macedon a sort of snakepit, and manages to survive his father's suspicions and violence and win the, ,opportunity for milennial fame. .

Religious Atmosphere Miss Renault is resourceful and plausible' in constructing whole characters for historical figures of whom we have but dim OUtlines. She brings to life the peculiar milieu in which Alexander matured, the peculiar friendship in which he was involved, She is uncommmonly successful in making eerily palpable the religious atmosphere of the era of paga,n gods, oracles, diviners.

Miss Battiscombe's subject, Queen Alexandra, was born in 1844, died in 1925. Unlike Alexder, she wielded no authority, and her history is an apt example of royalty's fate,in our times.

She was an obscure Danish princess, of an impecunious family. Her prospects were dim until Victoria's eye lighted on her.

The heir to England's throne, the Prince of Wales, had to have a wife.

The beautiful Alexandra was the least objectionable of the eligibles and, fortunately, the prince found her attractive. They' were married in 1863.

Victoria was to live for 38 years beyond that date. She pre'vented her son from' sharing in, or even having knowledge of, the royal business. This denied him preparation for kingship and left him idle.

Bored and restless, he took to gambling and extravagant partying, had a series of mistresses, was tarred with scandal.

Elegant, Poised It can readily be seen that Alexandra's existence was difficult. 13ut she was equal to its severe and even cruel exactions.

Elegant and poised, she doggedly kept up appearances and was', willing to turn a blind eye to the prince's infidelities and follies and managed -to get on~ with her imperious and' 'fussy motherin-law, ".'"~,.,, , She '-became' and c reml:lined' a great favorite of the British. A simple but strong religious faith was a principal factor in her life.

Intuition, sympathy, charm are all attributed to her by Miss Bat· tiscombe, who adds, "But she had very little brain." Scant capacity was not improved by poor education.

Easy Reading When her son George, .later to reign as George V, was a small boy, she called him "Georgie."

This she continued to do even when he was king, and, to the last, he addressed her as "Motherdear." She was sorely offended by his refusal to turn aside from important work to gratify some personal whim.

Her father eventually became King of Denmark; her sister, Empress of Russia (the dowager empress of the play and film Anastasia); one brother, King of Greece, a second. King of Denmark.

Other relatives mounted other thrones. But the war aild social changes of this century sent most of them into the discard. A gorgeous pageant, people by mediocrities, faded.

Miss Battiscombe's book is unpretentious and unidolatrous, easy and engaging reading.

Participant Self Adrian van Kaam, Bert van Croonenburg, and Susan Muto are the authors of The Participant Self, two slim, short, and overpriced volumes (Dimension Books, $7.50). They aim at providing direction for fruitful collaboration in personal and' sodal development.

The brief chapters (e.g., Communion, Labor, Leisure, Giving, Receiving, Participation, Detachment) comprise brief, pregnant observations intended for thoughtful consideration and practical application.

ALBANY (NC)-A spokesman for New York State"Catholic educat!)"!; emphasized tHat the linandid' crisis' 'facing nonpublfc schools "is here now, n"6t just developing for some future soluti.on."

Immediate urgency for state aid to nonpublic schools was underscored by Father Patrick E. 'Shanahan, president, New York State Council of Catholic School Superintendents, in response to a request by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller for repeal of a 76-year-old law which bars state aid to ncmpublic schools..

Cites Immediacy The governor's repeal plea brought denunciations from the American Jewish Congress and the New York State Teachers Association, but was applauded by the Catholic schools' superintendents group. , Father Shanahan, who also is superintendent of schools for the Rockville Center N. Y., diocese, as spokesman for the Catholic group, in a statement issued here said: "Much as we appreciate the long range awareness and this manifest of concern, we feel that perhaps he (the governor) does not fully realize the immediacy and acuteness of problems .facing the non public schools."

In his State-of-the-State message delivered before the opening session of the state legislature here, Gov. Rockefeller called for repeal of the so-called Blaine Amendment in the state Constitution, which bars state ilid to

denominational'schools, but does permit tax-paid 'bus transportation for rioni)~bli'c~chool~ pupTls) T<1o Late for Many Under the legislative procedure involved in carrying out the governor's proposal, it would take at least three years to accomplish the goal. Repeal legislation would require approval by two successive legislatures, then approval by, the state voters by referendum.

"It is apparent that the governor favors legislation ,aiding nonpublic education,' which ,is constitutional," Father Shanahan said.

"Meaningful legislation we believe, can be passed now which would meet the requirements from both the state and federal constitutions. OUT legislators' undoubtedly will have several such bills in this session, and we are hopeful that they will find and approve one of them as acceptable." . Father Shanahan said in that in Gov. Rockefeller's repeal recommendation to the legislature, he manifested "farsightedness in planning for the future of ed'u'cation in New York state."

Pointing up the current crisis they face, Father Shanahan said the state's non public schools enroll more than 75,000 students, which is 20 per cent of students enrolled in schools throughout the state, "In view of the gravity of today's financial problems for the 'supporters of these schools, aid twb years or more away could very well be too late for many./' The financial crisis is here now, not just developing for some future solution," Father Shanahan said.

OTTAWA' (NC)-:-"Words Are No Longer Enough" jumps at the reader on page one of an unusual tabloid, designed to awaken Christians of all denominations to an awareness of the change demanded of them by the fact of poverty.

Page two of the educational brochure, which was published here by an ecumenical group of religious educators, explains: "These are more word's on the subject of poverty. Words and pictures. We know that poverty won't disappear with words and pictures, but sometimes-some· times-they help people to act," The publication puts in wide perspective the challenge which poverty, wherever, it is found, presents to Christian consciences. It encourages an em· phasis on poverty during Lent in all Christian churches.

The special Lenten emphasis on "Christian Conscience and Poverty" will be started here Feb. 13 at an ecumenical service in Christ Church Cathedral. National 'leaders of several Christian denominations' willpartici· pate.

This Lenten educational effort began with the Montreal Conference on Christian Conscience and Poverty on May, 1968. A strategy committee was appointed by the Canadian Catholic Conference and the Canadian Council of' Churches to follow-up the conference.

IS$ue Interfaith Guidelines

~

For Ecumenical Marriages The Massachusetts Commission on Christian Unity has issued lO-point pastoral guidelines to aid couples in "ecumenical marriages." Rev. Thomas P. Howard of Fran~lin, a United Church of Christ minister, commission chairman, says the guidelines have been created to help couples "have a special and positive and that being partners in in so-called "mixed mar- arole" mixed marriage "in no way riages" to "live a life of . lessens the holiness of your Christian love and unity" even though they attend different churches.

The marriage guidelines have been endorsed by ecumenical commissions in the Catholic archdiocese of Boston and the dioceses of Fall River, Springfield and Worcester, plus similar units of three Protestant churches. Additional endorsements are expected to be made by other Protestant units.

The ecumenical commission of the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts previously advised pastors: "We must not make the couple feel guilty of falling in love, when, in fact, the churches are guilty of the sin of separation."

"Un,lque Vocations" Such marriages, the' Episcopal commission noted, contain the possibility of becoming "a prophetic sign of the triumph of the love of the Lord over the division of the churches."

The new guidelines, printed in a pamphlet entitled "Living the Faith You Share," stress that couples in mixed marriages

The' pari~h school is presently experiencing severe financial difficulty and may have to curtail its program in the future. Also. the students of St. Louis School will have to be absorbed into another school.

"A slightly different type of approach to the same basic experiment could be used with relation to St. Michael's and St. Matthew's Schools in Fall River, where the two school properties are adjacent to (Ine another. In this situation, the entire building of St. Matthew's School would be leased to the public school department and operated independently as a public school during thf' regular school day."

"The combined student bodies of St. Michael's and St. Matthew' Schools would attend half of the school day under Catholic school auspices at St. Michael's School, and the other half of the. day under public school auspices at St. Matthew's. It might also be possible to include students from' St. Joseph's School in this program,"

Names Commission For Vocations ST. LOUIS (NC)-John Joseph Cardinal Carberry has named a 29-member Commission on Priestly and Religious Vocations.

The new commission, composed of six diocesan priests, three men Religious, three women Religious, and 17 lay men and women, "will have for its purpose a serious study of the ways and means for fostering vocations," the cardinal said.

It is expected to evaluat.e present vocation programs, 'investigate ways to communicate the value. of religious life to the general public and especially to young people, and make concrete recommendations for action to Cardinal Carberry.

Ecumenical families have a "unique vocation in surmounting the divisions in the churches," the pamphlet asserts. It adds that they have an equally important duty in giving to the world evidence that people can live and work together in spite of social differences.

Fall River Member Members of the commission's executive board who helped to prepare the marriage guidelines, in addition to Rev. Mr. Howard, included Sister Marilyn Rose, of Regis College, Weston; Father Reginald Theriault, O.P., of Fall River, who is the unit's executive secretary; Rev. William R. Stayton, American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts and Mrs. Charles Morgan, Episcopal diocese of Western Massachusetts.

Jesuits Aid Exploited Black Home Owners

CHICAGO (NC) - U. S. Jesuits gave $150,000 in appeal bond money to the Contract Buyers League, a predominantly black group of persons who purchased homes at inflated prices and high interest rates in the early 1960s during a period of panic by whites.

More than 500 BCL members have been threatened with eviction for withholding contract payments on their homes in an effort to renegotiate their contracts into conventional home mortgages at lower interest rates.

CBL is challenging the eviction in U. S. District Court, but its members say they will be evicted while the federal court is considering the case unless they, can come up with appeal bonds averaging $4,000 each.

Msgr. John J. Egan asked the federal, courts to stop the county from evicting CBL members.

He said he believes the federal courts should enjoin the evictions until the constitutionality of the act is resolved.

Eradicate Injustice Msgr. Egan said the _courts should accept the withheld payments in place of bond. CBL is holding the payments in. a special fund.

"When people who are being exploited have no financial resources, time is of the essence," he said. "In this serious matter, Justice has already been delayed too long."

Father John Edward, S.J., of New Orleans, chairman of the American Jesuit provincial superiors. announced ,the appeal bond grant.

"Our concern is not merely rhetorical," he said. "It is backed up with a -quarter of a million dollars pledged to the Contract Buyers League Guarantee Bond Fund.

"We have done this because we believe in the soundness of the strategies of our efforts as churchmen to do everything in our power to eradicate every form of racial injustice," Father Edwards said.

Nuns Demand Integration of Schools Louisiana Bishops Express Support NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Twenty-three orders of nuns who are engaged in teaching at 200 Louisiana Catholic schools warned the bishops of the state they will not teach in other than fully integrated schools.

The Louisiana Conference of Major Superiors of Women issued 'a policy statement declaring that if the Catholic schools here remain segregated in any way, the nuns will withdraw, "It is morally wrong for Catholic schools to be havens for segregationists," Mother Johnette Putnam, conference chairman, tid NC News Service.

She explained that many students have transferred from public schools, which recently were ordereli by the U. S. Supreme Court to integrate, to Catholic schools this semester.

Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans told NC News Service he supports the nuns' policy statement, and that, in fact, he helped encourage them to adopt such a policy.

But he said he believes the statement makes the problem sound worse than it actually is.

An incomplete study, Mother Johnette said, shows that 6,700 students had transferred from public schools in the parishes or from schools outside the parishes to Catholic schools during the present semester.'

Two Cases The nun pointed out, however, that this does not imply the nuns· believe every transfer student is, seeking ,an escape irom integration.

But she added that the number of transfers seem to indicate that Catholic schools "are desirable to segregationists."

Archbishop Hannan said the number of transfers does not seem "ma~sive" when compared to the total enroIlment of 140,00 students in Louisiana Catholic schools.

Asked 'about the charge that Catholic schools are being used as "havens for segregationists," Archbishop Hannan said "this possibly occurred in two cases" in his archdiocese, "and as soon as I learned about it I told the pastors not to accept students whose motivation was simply to flee integration."

Integrated in 1962 A week before the nuns issued their statement, Archbishop Hannan said, all the bishops in Louisiana agreed on a statement to support the public schools on integration.

He' also pointed out that Catholic schools in New Orleans were integrated in 1962, several years before the courts forced the public schools to desegregate.

"I also made it a rule of the archdiocese that every high school reserve 10 per cent of its facilities for minority groups," Archbishop Hannan said.

This figure, he explained, was based on the fact that 10 per cent of the Catholic population in the archdiocese is Negro.

Pol itica ~ Activity

Continued from Page One school student a $IOO-a-year tuition grant, the cost would be about $7.9 million a year, he pointed out.

Father Elub believes' there is a nationwide trend toward government support of non-public school students.

"People are thinking more and more," he noted, "of diversity in education. The tax squeeze is becoming so severe that the taxpayer is beginning to feel it is in his best interest to give the parent of a non-public school student some assistance."

Father Blum cited four arguments that could advance support for non-public school pupils: . .

I) Freedom of choice in education (in this regard, he said, "we do not have complete freedom of Ghoice in education because we have never joined hands and fought for it. ") 2) A pluralistic society, if it is to retain its pluralism, must have a diversity in education. il) There m~st be competition in education.

Life Becomes M10re Hectic Wit" Econ'omic Affluence

Publicity chairmen of parish or· ganizations are asked to submit news items for this column to The Anchor; P. O. Box 7, Fall River

02722.

By Msgr. George G. Higgins Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C. -

, If you are one of those people who feels hopelessly trapped in a never-ending rat race and, try as you will, simply can't manage to slow down long enough to enjoy some of, the finer things of life, you may be comforted to learn from an expert on the quoting Marshall McLuhan as subject that, in this respect their authority or, jf you will, as at least, you are a thor- their guru on this subject, may oughly typical member of be inclined to hail this develop-

"".'

-

that great silent' majority of which we are hearing so' much these days in' \a completely different context. the expert in question is Staffan B. Linder, a Swedish economist with a good classical background, a fin e literary style, and a very engaging strain of gentle satire in his mischievous academic soul.

In his recent book, ,~'The Harried Leisure 'Class," ,(published by the Princeton University Press) Linder argues persuasively that time is the rarest commodity on earth and is harder to come by in today's affluent society than ever before.

"While we had always expected one of the beneficent results of economic affluence to be a tranquil and harmonious manner of life, a life in Arcadia . . . ," he says, "what has happened is the exact opposite.

The pace is quickening and our lives are becoming steadily more hectic" Economic growth, in other words, has resulted in a growing "scarcity of time," with the result that "our affluence is only partial and not total as we seem to believe."

Pleasure of Buying As I was reading "The Harried ,Leisure Class," I kept trying to pick holes in Prof. linder's argument, but to no avail.

I' thought at first that statistics on the sale of books, to cite but one example, would clearly demonstrate that people are reading much more than ever before, which in turn would seem to indicate that they have more leisure than their forebears. ,But by the time Linder had - finished analyzing these statistics,he had pretty well convinced me that I was probably on the wrong track.

He admits, of course, that the number of books sold in the United States has increased considerably in recent decades (700 , million in· 1954 as against 1,150 million, in 1963, for example),. but he hastens to add that "it is particularly important to guard' against a deceptive use of figures for expenditure to suggest that we are experiencing a cultural boom."

Loss .of Free Time For his own part, he is persuaded that "the relationship between books read and books purchased has in all probability changed, it may well have changed so much as to mean that people read less than they used to . . . . The pleasure of buying books lies not so much in reading them as in having them available. People are buying books as they buy pictures-to glance .at."

Many people, quoting or mis-

ment, not as a sign of cultural retrogression, but rather as a great step forWard in the march of civilization. , I am referring to those people in our midst who have convinced themselves that the printed word has had it, so to speak, and will have to make way for new methods of learning. . , Professor Linder doesn't go along with this line of, thinking. , If I understand him correctly, he lakes a dim view of the proposition that people, for all of their affluence, are reading less now than they used to.

But,whatever of that, even the anti-book people in our midst would probably agree with linder's overall conclusion that our one-sided emphasis on the production and consumption of material goods and gadgets' has resultedin a proportionate loss of free time and a consequent cheapening of the quality. of life in many important respects.

Overd~e Revolution Linder himself avoids the mistake of underestimating the beneficen't results of "that economic growth which has lifted the new affluent countries from a subsistence leveL" In other words, he doesn't fall into the trap of snobbishly equating necessary economic progress with materialism.

On the' other hand, .he does entertain the hope that the long overdue r;evolution of rising material expectations in the underdeveloped world will, in the future, be paralleled, first of all in the developed world, by a second revolution of rising cultural expectations.

"Certainly," he says, "a constant hunt to secure the basic necessities of life is presently regarded as a degrading existence. Perhaps being constantly chased by a scarcity of time will some day be recognized as an equally undignified way of life."

Differ on Remedy Many other' scholars from a variety of different disciplines are writing more or less in this same vein at the present time.

The philosopher Mortimer Adler, for example, argues in a new book entitled "The Time of Our Lives: The Ethics' of Common Sense," (Holt, Rinehart and Winston) that the excessive value set upon the production and consumption of creature comforts in the United States and in every otberhighly industrialized society "represents a fundamental disorder of goods, a perverse scale, of values, placi,ng lower over higher goods, and even transforming goods that are only means unto ends to be sought for their own sake, as if they constituted the good life as a whole."

Professor John Kenneth Galbraith of Harvard - economist, former diplomat, and irrepressible gadfly-and the radical social philosopher, Herbert Marcuse, as well as many other social critics too numerous to menVon are also hi~hly critical of

The "ecumenical" editorial was written jointly by Rev. Dr. J. Martin Bailey, editor of United Church Herald, national magazine, of the two:million member United Church. of Christ and' Father ,Charles Angell, editor of the Lamp, a Catholic ecumenical magazine.

The two clergymen, along with 10 other editors of U. S. religious periodicals, spent November interviewing heads of government, officials, military spokesmen, religious. leaders, students and private citizens concerning Middle Eastern religious affairs and Arab-Israeli relations.

The' editorial deplored instances when both political and religious leaders cited the Bible to substantiate partisan positions. '~A document, given to lis by approving churchmen," the editor.ial 'said, "misquoted Jesus as calling all Jews 'serpents of the earth ,~ '" '" a generation of vipers ~, ;' '" murderous from the beginning.' This kind of thinking has become the basis for a systematic reign of terror unleashed on Jews stranded in Arab lands."

On the other hand, the editors said they were also "distressed" to hear Jews quote the Bible as a justification for the modern state of IsraeL While we, recognize that there is a his.toric .link between the Jews and the land, we cannot accept this fact as a' warrant for the unilateral seizure of property by military action' or by legislative decree.

The editorial concludes that "a public disavowal of partisan abuse of the Old and New Testaments by religious spokesmen, who in the Middle East are very close to the political leaders, our so-called consumption society.

The only trouble iS,that, while the critics tend more or less to agree among themselves in their diagnosis of our real or alleged cultural illness, they are far from being of one mind when it comes to prescribing a remedy.

Coach Kalperis, who has directed Falmouth to the Class C , championship for the past four Winters, is optimistic school's chance of winning its fifth crown in a row.

The veteran mentor says,

Area schools qualifying for the finals include: Class A, New Bedford with five and Durfee High of Fall River with one. In addition to the nine qualifiers from Falmouth, five boys will represent Barnstable in Class C.

BY LUKE SIMS Lanky Tom Barao is said to be the top schoolboy ever to come out of the New Bedford. area in the last 20 years. Although many may argue the point, University of Wisconsin coach John Powless obviously feels the rating is justified. ' Only a sophomore, Barao has earned a starting berth on the Wisconsin varsity and is the second New Bedford athlete to make a name for himself in the Big 10. (Former NBH star footbailer Bobby Watkins gained AII·America honors at Ohio State in the early 1950s).

Barao entered the University of Wisconsin on an athletic scholarship after a' highly suc"Cessful three years as a member' of the New Bedford High School varsity.

Career lishop Sh~~@y Velt®~alro of Tw@ W(f1l[]'$g Gold Prospeetor, Mission FoundelJ' MIAMI (NC) Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll of Miami presided at a Requiem Mass in the Cathedral of St. Mary here for ,Bishop Patrick H. Shanley, O.C., whose colorful career took him from gold prospector in Canada to apostolic administrator in the Philippines.

Bishop Shanley, who was 73, died in St. Francis Hospital, Miami Beach, after a long illness.

A veteran of World War I and a U. S. chaplain in World War II, Bishop Shanley was born in' Athlone" Ireland. He served as a lieutenant in the Connaught Rangers, a famous Irish regi. ment, in the Holy Land, and the Dardanelles. During World War I he was taken prisoner by the Germans in France.

He came to North America at the conclusion of the war and while prospecting for gold in . Canada decided to become a' monk. He joined the Discalced Carmelites at Holy Hill, Wis., in 1925. He returned to Ireland for further studies and was ordained there in 1930.

He later founded a minor seminary at Holy Hill and served as its rector until, at the outbreak of World War II, he be-

In addition to pouring in the points at a rate of 19.9 per game (second behind Lloyd Adams' 23.0), Barao picked off an average of B.2 rebounds per contest and had a shooting percentage of 46.7.

In Wisconsin reports, Tom was listed as "a steady, allaround player who plays a good two-way game. both on offense and defense."

This year, Barao was one of three sophomores to make the varsity grade. As a reserve, he averaged four points' per game in the rugged Big 10 competition but got a break when he was handed the starting nod against nationally-ranked Purdue. The Badgers were routed, but Tom poured in 14 points, all from the field, and has been in the start'ing lineup ever since.

Never a, real basketball power in the, Big 10, the Badgers appear doomed for another losing year this season (Wisconsin was 11-13 a year ago) but with outoutstanding sophomores like Adams,. Lee Oler and Barao, the picture is brightening up considerably. .

Barao is the son of Mrs. Coleen Barao, and is a member of St. John's Parish in New Bed· ford. He is enrolled in Letters and Science at Wisconsin.

The mission was raised to the status of a prelature nullius in 1950 and Bishop Shanley was installed as apostolic administrator in 1951.
