A church with no parishioners. Priests who do n9t ,perform the Sacraments of Matrimony or Baptism. This delightful anachronism is the new Our Lady's Chapel in 90wntown New Bedford which will be dedicated Sunday a't 3 p.m. Bishop Connolly will 6:15, 8:15 and 9 A.M. officiate at the blessing and From opening, to closing the dedication of the Franciscan chapel is never empty. Protest;ehapel on Pleasant Street. ants and Jews stop by in numbers The first Franciscan chapel in New Bedford, adjacent to the new building, was opened May 22, 1956. : Daily, hundreds of downtown workers, shoppers and tourists Visit the chapel. Thousands of the faithful flock to a multitude of Masses on Holy DayS. Scores attend the perpetual novenas on Tuesdays to St. Anthony and Thursdays honoring St. Jude. . In a letter to the' Very Rev. David J. Fleming, O.F.M., rector of the chapel, Most Rev. Egidio Vagnozzi, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, said, "More and more the need for places of worship conveniently located in the business section of modern cities grows greater, the accommodation and advantage thus provided for the spiritual life of the laity is widely appreciated. In fulfilling this need, the Franc:Jsc'an Fathers have rendered' a signal service to 'the good people of New Bedford." . The chapel is not a substitute for parishes and parish lIfe. It has no parishioners. Converts are sent' to their proper parish for Ba"ptisni. , There is a priest in the confessional from '8 A.M. to 9 P.M. daily. Daily Masses are at 7, 8, '8:45 and 10 A.M. and 12:12 P.M.; .on Holy Days, Masses are every half hour from 5:15 A.M. to 12:15 P.M., 5:15 and 8 P.M.; Sunday Masses are at 1:30, 2:15, 5:15,
for private prayer, meditation, reflection and rest. There is Ex-' position of the Blessed Sacrament each afternoon, the Third Order, counselling by priests on the staff, dispensing of Catholic Information, weekly classes for converts and lectures oli the faith for non-Catholics. The chapel and' the friars have attracted man y fallen - away Catholics. The staff includes eight priests permanently stationed at the chapel, two members of the mis_ sion band and one brother. They' have already moved in to third and fourth floor cloistered monastery over the new chapel. ' , The first chapel accommodated 300 persons; the new one will seat 450. The chapel opened .last Sunday with Father Fleming saying the first Mass.
Franciscan Now Serving Rebels MIAMI (NC) - A Franeiscan priest has joined rebel forces assembled in the Escambray mountains to fight, against the regime of Fidel Castro in Cuba according to an exiled Cuban newspaper published here. Fr. Francisco Lopez, O,F.M. who was pastor in Pedro Betan':' ' eourt, joined the rebels to attend their spil'itual welfare; the news,.. pape! A vance reports. ' Evelio Duque Miyar, rebels, eOmmander in w~lcoming the priest, said "not only do you represent ,Christ in' these, hills" but also the spirit of the Cuban people," the report said. The priest told the rebels that communist indoctrination has been greatly intensified among the soldiers in the Castro forces.
Theologian Sees Unity Far, Off WASHINGTON (NC)- A prominent theologian beiieves christian unity" is 'far in the future, despite recent successes of ,Europeau Protestants and Catholics in melting away many past hostilities. "We must not think that Christian, unity and the appearance,of but one visible Christian Church is in the immediate offing," said ,Father Gustave Weigel, S.J., professor at Woodstock (Md.) College, a Jesuit seminary. , Europe, he said, is the site of the most successful efforts at Catholic-Protestant understanding, but "hastening steps toward. the entry of continental Protestantism into, the Catholic Church are not visible." Crystal Clear "Here and there we find individual. conversions of Catholic-minded Protestants, but there' is. no such tendency路 in the Pro-, testant mass. . "In fact, it must be said that Protestant protagonists for' the church union of all Christians do not consider that their movement mean~ a return to Catholicism. One of their spokesmen' ,Bishop Hans Lilje of Hanover: has made this crystal clear.",
Asks State Assist Catholic Schools ,CHICAGO (NC) - Dr. John Lestel' Reichert, m~mber of the ,Chicago Board of Education, said parochial schools should receive state financial aid sim,Hal' 'to that provided public ; schools. , He ,also advocated state assist: ance in the transportation of I pupils should be extended to parochial schools. Dr. Reichert said he agrees with Msgr. William E. McManus, superintendent of Chicago archdiocesan schools, that there is scepticism about the idea that the more spent for public educ:ation, the better are the schools. "I do not think that we always get a dollar's wor,th of education for every dollar we put in the school system," said Dr.. Reich-
ert.

Shortage of Priests In West Germany MAASTRICHT (NC) - An international congress held here in The Netherlands on Europe's shortage of priests heard that West Germany alone needs another 10,000. Father N. Greinacher of the Pastoral-Sociological Institute of Essen told the 150 priests present that the German dioceses of Essen and Cologne need 60 per cent more priests than they have. Germany has about 21,000 dioce~;an, priests for 27 million Catholics, but only 16,060 of them are active in parish work. The German parish priest must care for about twice the number of parishioners as his counterpart in mqny European countries, it was noted.

The Vincentian said that 25 per cent of the population is made up of Catholics who pay educational taxes, but "we get no money from these taxes." He criticized a proposal for spending $500,000,000 to expand the State University system. The program was recommended by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller'. Council for Higher Education. , Moral Pygmies Asserting that respect for private property should also cause fear of "monolithic" control of education by the state, Father Flynn urged his audience to "demand of their legislators that they take action to save human beings from the ravages of state institutions." "The state produces intellectual giants, but it also produces moral pygmies. We can, take slights in other areas, but not in the area of human development," he said. He said reports that education cannot be done by existing institutions are part of a myth perpetrated "by the greatest lobby in the United States-the schoolteaching lobby." Experiments in lengthening the school day, shortening vacations and other new approaches could solve the problems 'of inadequate facilities and the teacher shortage, Father Flynn said.

The Car-dinal wrote in Civilta Cattolica,' J e sui t fortnightly published here. Cardinal Bea said he considered the meeting between the Most Rev. Geoffrey Fisher, AnglicaI). Primate of All England. and Pope John one "of great importance." It was "a valid' symptom of 'a widespread nostaigia for unity," he asserted. "We believe that this iQl,portance lies above all in what the -visit reveals and symbolizes; that is to say, the new atmosphere existing between Anglicanism and the Roman Cat hoi i • Church." Cardinal Bea said the visit was important because it wu -, started by official representatives of AnglicaDism, approved' by them, favored by the public and carried out in "a climate al increasing interest." All of these things "would, have been 'inconceivable only' a few decades ago," the Cardinal: stated, and indicate "a notable change of climate." He commended Archbishop Fisher for being sensitive to this change, for spelling it out, understanding it and taking the necessary steps.

The press officers assert that such articles are based on false Information and misrepresentation of the Hungarian government's policy. They generally offer what they declare are the facts. Interview Priests In Budapest itself, government officials have offered foreign correspondents the opportunity of talking to Hungarian priests. These priests are not notorious collaborators with' the Red regime. They are priests who for the most part have suffered imprisonment for their loyalty to the Holy See. The government is banking on the unwillingness of the s e priests to risk its further displeasure without absolute necessity. The priests know that the government scans foreign publications for any mention of Hungary, and that what is published in Toronto might ,land them in jail in Budapest. And there is always the chance that the earnest correspondent to whom they talk is a plant who might denounce them to the secret police for antigov~rnment opfnions.

'Friend of Man
Tomorrow Is Today Edward B. King,Jr., administrative'secretary of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, 'in commenting on the work'" done by his group to bring an end to ' segregation and to arouse the conscienc.es of men to right action in' the matter, I has said: "On t~e timetable of the , world, tomorrow is today.. Only forthright action can square, America's raCial practices with the world's changing order of democracy and human rights." Mr. King, in these words, brings before the attl!nti,on of all men the pragmati~ aspect to truth - it is not enough to know what is right, but the right must be put into action, into practice. It is one thing to assess a situation, to measure it against the moral law, to arrive at conclusions concerning it -but then to wait until circumstances and the very pas~age. of years bring about a change. It is quite another thing to 'come to the same conclusions and to take effective measures to br-ing about the change by one's own eff?rts. Truth is meant not only to be contemplated but to be put into action. --It is not meant to be static bu~,. rather, dynamic, changing the lives of those who profess It for the better. Otherwise it is a fossil --of interest, a subject of theoretical study, but divorced from life and living. That is why the "deliberate spe~d" phrase of the Supreme Court in ordering i~tegration is a significant one, recognizing that the task is not over once the right course of action is recognized but that this must be pursued with vigor. And certainly the Church and its leaders and members must be in no equivocal position on this score. Prudence and charity know that the change may take time; truth demands that the time element be shortened as much as human endeavor can make it.

In the minds of all too many, communist agression means Moscow sabre-rattling 'and missile-maneuvering and the threat of nucle~r war from the Kremlin. What ~s overlooked is the fact that communism has been making. steady gains in the last decade without any of these means. To Khrushchev, "peaceful coexistence" means communist con-quest without war.

Pro, Con Sunday Sermons By Mary Tinley Daly Dear Mrs. Daly: In a recent column, you spoke of Itearing an inspiring sermon.· Even from the bits you gave, I got a glimpse of this inspiration. All of us wish that we eould have more of these: the "tell you how to live" kind. We ordinary Catholics do makes me write this letter. aot ask for oratory.

his tolerant fashion, he has many t;~ ~~ ~one to church with me. I don't know why, but every time he accompanies me to church, we do not have a sermon such as you describe. We don't have a sermon, peri-od. Oftentimes, we have a harangue. Is there any way of findin~ out, ahead of time, what will be forthcoming from the lpit? Mrs. S.T.G. I was sometrhat surprised at the reaction from a column about a sermon, these being but a couple, but typical of responses. In answer to Mr•• S.T.G. we can only advise, speak to your pastor. Harangue has no place in a CatboHe church. Certainly, in other faiths, the sermon is paramount. An expert preacher draws crowds. In the Catholic Church, the picture is different. Compared w'" the Mass itself, the sermon is In~--·-~quential.
Nevertheless, being human, we do like, in addition, to derive a spiritual "lift" from the priest in the pulpit. After a reading of an Epistle of St. Paui, followed by a Gospel, we shQuld like something besides a list of forthcoming card parties, benefit chicken dinners, a CYO dance, "50 cents stag":or-drag." As "One for Better Sermons" says, we can read these items in the parish bulletin. From the other side of the ohancel raU: We attended the funeral ocf an old friend, a newspaper man, and heard a fine eulogy. Speaking to the priest later, the Head of the House and I complimented him on it. "I tried," the yOUng priest sighed wearily, "but up until midnight I was doing parish paper work, typing out notices. It's hard to organize your thoughts-the things you really want to say to people." Father, yoU know our problems, our need for spiritual guidance. We only hope that we can try to understand your side.

WASHINGTON (NC) A Catholic President would not have to kneel to kiss the ring of a bishop or cardinal, according to a theologian. A simple handshake would be enough, he added. Father Francis J. Connell, C.SS.R., dean for religious communities at the Catholic University of America, made thia statement in a question-andanswer feature appearing in the American Ecclesiastical Review magazine. '9:e said: "Since he represents all hill fellow citizens, many of whom. do not believe in giving an)' special reverence to Catholie prelates, the proper course OJI. action for the President of the United States who ~appens to be a Catholic is to gift the ditnitaries of all religi n '.1s groups the same form of greeting, a simple handshake."

Says Catholic Magazine Influence In Choice of Mission Vocations PERRYSBURG (NC) - The three s<>ns of the Catholic Family of the Year, all of whom became Divine Word missioners, were influenced in their choice by a CatholiC magazine. This was related by Father Leo J'. Hotze, S.V.D., son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard L. Hotze of Leopold, Mo., whose family was given its title by the Family Life Bureau of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Father Leo, superior of the Divine Word preparatory seminary here, said the three Hotze sons, used to help the pastor of their parish carry firewood. A wastebasket often was used to carry the wood. Once the boys found a Divine Word magazine in the bottom of the basket. Opens Door "That opened the door," said Father Leo whose two brothers are. overseas.

Ask Conciliation Court To Cut Divorce Rate SACRAMENTO (NC) A court of conciliation was proposed here to cut Sacramento County's rising divorce rate. The county's Superior Court judges, who made the proposal, noted that in recent years more divorce decrees than marriage licenses have been issued in the county. The proposal got its &riginal impetus last March from Sacramento's St. Thomas More Society, a guild of Catholic lawyers. The society had invited Judge Louis Burke of Los Angeles to speak on the successful conciliation court in Los Angeles. He reported that of the 3,661 divorcebound couples coming before the court in 1959, almost 50 per cent were reconciled.

DUBLIN (NC)-The resident. of New Ross, County Wexford, the town in Ireland from which President John F. Kennedy'. forebears set out for the United States, celebrated his inauguration with a torchlight parade. singing and dancing. The citizens sent President Kennedy a message saying: "May Almighty God grant to you a successful first term of office." It also expressed confidence that, "under your able leadership the great American people, so dear to the Irish people, will enjoy a new era of prosperity and that your influence in world affairs will bring about a lasting peace to all nations."
St. Peter's College, Acra, Ghana. The pastor of the parish in their rural hometown has received the magazine since he studied in Holland to be a Divine Word missioner, before deciding to become a diocesan priest.
Six ()f the Hotze children-the three sons and three of the five daughters, entered religious life after the eighth grade, Father Leo said. Mr. Hotze, the town's teacher, taught all his children in the upper grades of their elementary schooling.

Vatican to Issue New Series of Stamps
LEOPOLDVILLE (NC) - The Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Mary are sending some 01. their Congolese novices 10 the community's international novitiate ne.ar Rome.
VATICAN CI'l'Y (NC) -The Vatican postoffice will issue a new series of stamps on Tuesday, Feb. 28 to commemorate the 11th centenary of the death 01. St. Meinrad. The series will consist of three values-30, 40 and 100 lire--in three designs. Subjects of the designs are a potrait of the Saint, a picture of the Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln in Switzerland where he was buried, and a picture of the abbey's image of Our Lady. St. Meinrad was born about the beginning of the ninth century and became a Benedictine priest. After teaching for a number of years he retired to live a hermit's life in the Swiss canton of Schwyz. On Jan. 21, 861, he was murdered in his hermitage by thieves. Einsiedeln, the site of his hermitage, has become a major pilgrimage center.

One wonders if there is _t a little corner, as it were, of file devotion to the Sacred Hearl that has not :vet been revealed, even to St. Margaret Mary. It would be our guess that there Is, and that that :vet undisclosed "corner" of the Sacred Heart is reserved tor priests. H tile world Is to lie trmred from cold wan • peace, and if hearts are to be moved to love, It will be because lilt increasing number of priests will become more saintly ull through them the world will be bettered. This seems to be the meaning of the revelations to Sister Louise Margaret .. the Sacred Heart told her:''1 separate them from others lor M,. work; I unveil Clo them the m:vsteries of MT love and M7 mere,.. ud making them like purified ehlUUlels, I shall POIII' oat tbroQil them oa the world a new abund&nCle of craee ud pardoa."
This new elite of. saintly priest. for whom the Sacred Heart b.M reserved a special revelation of His Incarnate and Eucharistie Love, will not carry candles to lighten a world-'but torehes: "I am come to cast fire upon the earth." One can see this sacerdotal aristocracy of holiness already arising. In our "God Love You" column of some time ago we asked priests to make sacrifices for the spread of the love of Christ in Mission lands. The .graces of the apostleship theT received In return were abundant beyond our knowing, for as Pope Pius XI has said: ''Charity to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith surpasses all other charities, as Heaven, earth and eternity, time." MaT we continue tit find new enlistments In tbJa priestlT armT of the Sacred Hearl. A sacrifice opens the hearl to receiYe grace; it Is like opening a window to receive fresh air. Each explosion of the ego establishes a new beach head of Divine Power. As the Sacred Hearl has stated: "I wish to imprint My Beart on the hearts 01 M:v priests." 0 yes, you will help the Missions, bat you will also help yourself. Our preaching conld be more ablaze if we would but make room for this as yet unrevealed treasure of grace for priests.

~@/lcdJinGI Godfrey By Patricia McGowaJl ,... ~@~Mt~$ Retiring . DETROIT (NC) - EduHJ,Love's til. matter of .chemistry," say cynics. But it wa~ really that for Dr. and Mrs. eational TV is here to sta) but it will never replace the Walter E. Conrad of Holy Name parish, Fall River. They met in a chemistry class and ~lli)@~O~(ln1 Prelate Detroit University. Father Lawrence V. Britt, S.J., feels students in the year 2061 will be studying history of the 1960s by watching it on' TV tape. They will be eye witnesses to - history, he added, the envy of people who learned history by memory, struggling to remember names, dates, events and places. The Jesuit priest told the Detroit Economics Club that 37 schools in Maryland are already connected by coaxial cable, enabling one instructor to teach widely separated classes. In Texas, he stated 11 colleges have completed plans for a microwave link to permit authorities to reach growing campus groups. And, a Midwestern TV experiment beginning next September will make possible the showing of tapes of renowned lecturers to some five million students at 13,000 schools in m five-state area, the prie'st reports. ' Father Britt conceded that educational TV can bring outstanding scholars of the day to more students at one time than a teacher might reach otherwise in a lifetime. But it will never replace the teacher, he stated. "It is no panacea, no substitute for tradiional teaching methods," he emphasized. "The' electronic tube cannot understand a troubled c;:hild."
Asks Closer Ties With Holy See LAGOS (NC) - The Prime Minister of Nigeria said here he hopes for still closer relations between Nigeria and the Holy See. . Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, a Moslem who is Premie.r of the newly independent Nigerian federation, made the statement during a meeting with Archbishop Sergio Pign~oli, ApostolicDelegate to Central West Africa, who has his headquarters here. Accompanying the 'papal representative on the 15-minute e&ll on the Premier' was Minnesota-born Archbishop Leo .Tayror, S.M.A., of Lagos. Lauds Missioners The Prime Minister told the Catholic prelates that he believes the moral and spiritual wellbeing of Nigeria will decide its whole future of Nigeria. Nigeria has 15 million Moslems, 10 million pagans, five million Protestants, and only about 1,600,000 Catholics. Sir Akubakar paid special tribute.to the Christian missionaries during ,his meeting with the Catholic leaders. He said that reIl'gious tolerance and cooperation among the various communities is good. He said his own son is a student at St: John's Clltholic Secondary School m Kaduna, Northern Nigeria.
LONDON (NC)-William Godfrey, leader of the Catholic Church in England, paid tribute to the Archbishop of
Canterbury for "his devoted services to our nation" when the Anglican leader announced hiD retirement. Cardinal Godfrey, Archbishopl of Westminster, issued' an official statement saluting the MoSt Rev. Geoffrey Francis Fisher, who is retiring in May. He sai~ Visit to Pope "The approaching retirement of the Archbishop of Canterbury after long years of leadership of the Established Church and the Anglican Communion will mind many of his devoted sen... ices to our nation, of his patriot.. ism and of his sincere desire and endeavor to, promote, and foster .the union of Cl!ristendom. "This desire is shared by mal1>lP' who aN not of his faith, and n~ least by Catholics everywhere. ' "The recent visit of His Grace to Pope John was a gesture whiclll we all greatly appreciated."
of grants for original wor~ in the field of synthetic lubricants was made to Dr. Conrad last week. He has received a total of nearly $28,000 over the past two years to enable him and selected students to pursue problems in the synthesis of organic compounds and the study of their reactions. The allotments came from the National Science Foundation, the Research Corporation and ., the Petroleum' Research Fund. Practical applications, of Dr. Conrad's work may come in use of synthetic lubricants in missiles, aircraft and Aictic equipment. . He will report on his project at a meeting of National Science Foundation program directors to be held in Washington next week.

Urges Puerto Ricans Help Cuban Refugees
SAN JUAN (NC)-San Juan's Archbishop James P. Davis has appealed to Puerto Ricans for support of a new Catholic group established to aid refugees who have fled to this island from. Fidel Castro's Cuba. "We Catholics are obliged, morally and materially, to help our brethren, who, having lost everything, are in great need,'" Archbishop Davis said. "They need understanding, the affection born of Christian charity and help to guide them to I! place in our society." Archbishop Davis said that in recent months there has been a' steady stream into Puerto Rico of refugees who have fled Cuba; He added: "Let us receive our Cuban brethren as we would have done if we had been present when the Holy, Family Jesus, Mary and Joseph, fled from the tyrant who ~anted to, kill the Child and took refuge, ill ' EgypL" . ."

Pope Asks Columbans to Recruit Irish Priests for Latin 'America DUBLIN (NC)-Pope John has asked that St. Columban's Foreign Mission Society be empowered to recruit Irish priests for work in Latin America. The request was made' in a letter to the Bishops of Ireland on "the exceptionally grave and difficult circumstances of 'the priestly ministry in Latin America." The Columban society was founded in 1917 by an Irish priest, Father (later Bishop) Edward J. Galvin. They number about a thousand members. Pope John told the Bishops: Great Shortage "You are familiar with the many and various causes which, despite the wide diffusion of the Catholic Faith and its deep roots in the countries of that continent, have left the framework of ecclesiastical life unequal to the demands of the apostolate today. You are aware in particular of· the great shortage of priests to minister to the faithful." \ . He paid tribute to the Catholic world's response to his appeals for aid to Latin America. "The repeated exhortations of the Holy See in letters and discourses have met with filial loyalty and zealous recnC""C' .... n('l.f. ,....~l" from the religious orders and
societies, but also from the hieh archies of countries in a positio. to 'render assistance, such all Spain, Belgium, Canada and the United States of America," he said. To Benefit Souls "In this connection We like ttl think of the zealous Society at St. Columban which, established with the encouragement and active cooperation of the: Irish Bishops, bloomed like a fragrant flower from the National Sem-> inary of MaYJ;lOoth and its de.. voted charity. "For it extends its spiritus! solicitude also to various Latin American countries, such as the Argentine, Peru and Chile. The~ its members lend their aid to local bishops and priests, to the great benefit of souls." The Pope said his esteem folr the work of the Society of St.. Colurn ban makes him hope for. its growth.

Bu'ffalo' Ordinary
Removes Lenten Fast in Diocese BUFF ALO (NC) ~ The " obligation to fast during Lent and on Ember Days has been lifted in the Buffalo
.,
cl1iocese. Bishop Joseph A. Burke of Buffalo has announced Fridays will continue to be days of abstinence. " He said there will. be three days of fast and abstinence this year. They are: Ash Wednesday, Feb. 15; Good Friday, March 31 and the ..l~y before the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Dec. 7. The vigil of Christmas, ordInarily a day of fast' and abstinence, falls on Sunday this year, therefore the obligations are lifted by' Church law, he said. Abstinence binds all Catholics over seven years of age to refrain from eating meat. The Jaw of fast binds all Catholics between their 21st and· 59th bIrthdays to eat only one full lIIleal on certain days. Bishop Burke {luggested; but did not make obligatory,' that Catholics eat meat only once a day at the principal. meals 011 .. the Wednesdays of Lent and the Wednesdays and Saturdays at. the four ·Ember Weeks during the year. Striet ProhibUions He also recommended that at Lenten weekday lunches, Catholics who eat meat should deny themselves some other favorite food . "In this way, we will be adJusting to modern conditions Ol life and still practice self-denial," Bishop Burke saId. "In this way, too, the spirit of the daily Mass, which, thank God, such large numbers of you attend, will have much more meaning for you." . The Bishop issued a. strict prohibition against dances,cardparties, bingo, 'game nights and other social entert"linment for the Church' or Catholic organizations throughout Lent. . Penitential Sea,soD He said also that "there is an obligation incumbent on aU Catholics to abstain from secular amusement" during the Church's penitential season. -Last year, the Canadian hierarchy abolished the usual fast and abstinence regulations during Lent and on Ember Days. Bishop Thomas K. Gorman ()f Dallas-Fort Worth made the same changes last year..
Plan Buildings SAN FRANCISCO (NC) The University of San. Francisco will build a new three-milliondollar science center and a million-dollar law school buildi"ng. Father John F. X. Connolly, S.

Somerset First Area School To Qualify For Tech Play
.. THE ANCHOR-
Thurs., Feb. 2, 1961
New J]~O"~ey Court
By Jack Kineavy The advent of February heralds Tech Tourney- time and at this juncture it appears that Southeastern Mass. will have its usual strong representation. To Narry League leader, Somerset, goes the honor of having been the first area team to qualify for had much chance of being post season play. The Raid- adopted. ers will soon have plenty of State Meet company. Durfee can move Coach AI Boucher's New Bedinto contention with a victory over Taunton tomorrow night. For the Hilltoppers this will be their 15th appearanceinTech in the last sixteen years. Greater New Bedford is enjoying a banner year on the hardwood and tourney participation is considered a virtual certainty for New Bedford, Fairhaven and Holy Family. Stan Grabiec's Crimson took '8 fine 10-3 record into play this week; Fairhaven, at this writing, is 11-0 on the season and Holy Family, 9-1 in Narry competition, is pressing Somerset Ie. league honors. The resolution 01. the league leadership in Bristol County has been suspended until Durfee and Fairhaven meet later this month as a result of the schools' inability to make up their storm-postponed tilt before the Tech cut-oft date. Attleboro and Taunton three down in the loss column, now have but a remote shot at the league title. The midweek afternoon game is becoming increasingly more popular in this area. The Hockamock League swung over to this type of schedule some years ago and we note that the ne'w Re. gional schools are now following suit. New Bedford and Brockton met in an afternoon contest earlier this month with favorable results. The innovation is catching
on.

RIO DE JANEIRO (NC) -The Bishops of Brazil have released a joint letter which protests the smear
" DETROIT (NC) - The growing lay apostolate movement is concrete evidence of '1fue Holy Spirit guiding the ~hurch
in the 20th century. H. Work, executive Clirector of the National Council Of Catholic Men, speaking at the 'third biennial convention of the National Federation of Sodalities ~ Our Lady, said: i Laity Challenge \~ "More than 'one of our bishops 1tas said that the future of/the ehurch lies in the hands of the lay apostolate - more than one has acknowledged that the weakest link in the .Church tod_ay is the lay apostolate," Mr. Work eomment,ed. , , Since this' is a,layman's world, ior better or for worse, it will be 'cronsecrated and made holy "if 'We make it so,", Mr, Work emphasized..' , "The Church will survive, desPtte the hydrogen bomb or the 'oommunist threat and go on to Il\eet-its destiny 'as the City of God "if we take our responsibility seriously as c~nsecrators; as lay apostles, and make the lay apostolate the Church's strongest link and this century her lIreatest hour," Mr. Work said. ~ Lay Apostle Marks ! Discussing the "marks of a lay 8postle," Mr. Work called attention to five characteristics. :' "First, he must be deep. He tRust lay' hold, of h;s, Fai~h .at ihe roots. He must know ~hrist ~d love his, mission as he loves His Person. . , '.'Secondly, t1le lay apostle must, tla~e vision: He must dream jimeless dreams of Christian iietory.' He must see this dream kalized in his neighborhood, his, tOMt, his city, his state, the' , bation and the world. ; Thirdly, he must have knowledge.

He must' know, the €hristian principles involved and -,e techniques of applying them. : Fourthly, the lay apostle must Q)e humble, docile and obedient. : "Ahd fifthly, he must possess iapostolic courage.

WASHINGTON (NC) 'About 63,125 of the ,140,281 'college students who have borrowed money' from the
Federal government plan to en.tel' public school teaching. They are preparing to take advantage of a controversial feature of the loan' program which permits public school teachers to work off a maximum of 50 p,er' cent of the debt by' teaching five years.

,campaign being waged against the Cuban Hierarchy. "We protest;" the Brazilian Bishops said, "against the destruction of the good name of the Catholic Hierarchy of Cuba and against the campaign of in'sults' and slandet" being waged' against them." Rather than issuing such a protest, the letter said, the Ohurch in Brazil would far better prefer to congratulate Cuba -if only her sOCial renewal were based on Christian principles. "To seek the' betterment of conditions of the lowly,' to do a~ay with racial distinctions, to obtain the most adequate and 'rational distribution 'of the wealth so that nobody lacks the .means necessary to live decent· ly-all /this is fine and praiseworthy. Its achievement, how· ever,' requires a just foundation, 'as the Gospel teaches." . . The Brazilian churehmen ex'pressed certainty that "the Cath· olics of Cuba would have cooperated" if the Cuban revolution were based on Christian prin. :ciples. But they added: "When these same subjects of the Church and of the -, , ':Ike 'note that religion is considered by (the regime) as a I;lecessary evil, when they see it restricted to' the churches and harrassed, in its soCial functions, Wihen aod Himself is erased from the Constitution, the Catholics of ,Cuba have no fear of fulfilling ,the duty t1lat their conscience dictates: to' defend their sacrasanet rights as. men and' Chris,tians."
