Past Lents' were rigorous. They stressed fast iwd penance. But most of the time was spent on the individual and his problems.

The members who resigned indicated in the letter that they had formulated recommendations but "In the light of the reception that these recommendations have received, there seems little encouragement to spend further time or energy on these matters. It is evidently impossible for the Personnel Board to function effectively in these areas at this time."

The letter did not state whether it was the Bishop or the priests of the Diocese who . did not give the board recommendations the reception hoped for.

REGULATIONS.

According'to toe decision of the Bishops of the United States the following is to be followed during Lent concerning fast and abstinence: ". . . . FoIlowiing the instructions of the Holy See, we declare that th~ obligation both to fast and to abstain from meat, an obligation observed under a more strict formality by our fathers in :the faith, still binds on Ash Wednesday and Gd.od Friday: " "In keeping with the letter and spirit of Pope Paul's, Constitution 'Let its do Penance', we preserve for our diocese the traditio~ of abstinence from meat ,on each of'· the Fridays of Len't, confident that no Catholic Christian will lightly h6rd ~imself excused from this penitential I practice."

For all other \veekdays of Lent, we strongly recommend participation I in daily Mass and Communion daily .

I ' visits to church and the Blessed Sacrament, the Way of the Cross, the recitation of the Rosary in church or as a Family Devotion iA the home. Other recommended practices would be almkgiving, visits to the sick in homes or hospitals, participation in such programs as Confraternity of Christian Doctdne, etc,. All of these are indicative of a positive attitude, ah attempt to grow with Christ in the love and service of Christ.

Obligation to f1ulfill the Easter duty may be satisfied from Sunday, February 23, the First Sunday of Lent, until June 1, Trinity Sunday.

By order of the Most Reverend Bishop. , REGINALD M. BARRETTE Chancellor I

will encourage a living faith without which men are nothing.

And it is this faith that rules men rather than the limited sight that they have.

The Bishop's letter follows:

"We walk b'y Fa'ith, nnd not by sight." (2nd Corinth: fi, 8)

Beloved in Christ: l)p till a few yean; ago, Le'ni was a season for llellance and, prayer. But penance predominated. There were the fast days and the Fridayi'l. People professed to give up foods and pastimei'l. But. with the dawn of Eai'lter mOi'lt men went. back to old habits of indulgence. , '. Now .:weh~ve a, new'. spirit. It. is .positiv.e. It stresses Faith more than faslhi.g, - prayer more than penance.

As we' follow the new liturgy we are inspired to think less of ourselves, our needs, and more of God. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His justice, all else will be added to you.", Just as S'pringtime is a season for planting, so is Lent a time for planting good habits to replace the bad.

It is more for welfare than for warfare. That is why prayer means mOl;e than penance, and faith is better tha~ fear. '''For we walk by Faith and not by sight."

In. Our Lord's day, faith was a necessary condition for friendship, as well as healing. "Do you believe that I can do this?" "All things are possible to him that believes." "Why are you fearful, 0 ye of little faith." This .to all the Apostles, and to St. Thomas: "Blessed is he that has not seen and has believed.'" Despite all their wavering, Our Lord identifies with them. "He who hears' you, hears me." "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives n:te, receives Him that seat Me." It is not to be wondered at that the Apostles spoke with authority, went bravely into a hostile world, fortified by God's Presence within them, and changed radically the temper of their time. .

So too, in all ages of Faith. The Church did not cease to grow in number, and virtue. By word of mouth, but pit, 'at meetings of Catholic orTurn to Page Twelve ganizations and at general meet-

Drops Cha'rges Continued from Page One upon the recommendation of the executive committee of the diocesan Senate of Priests which conducted a telephone poll of diocesan and reHgious order priests in Cleveland. .

Of 564. priests contacted, 555 said they did not approve of the action of Fathers Begin and Meyer in celebrating their unauthorized '''protest Mass." But 505 also said they thought the civil charges against the priests should tbe dropped.

Bishop Issenmann noted the two priests are still under suspension 'but indicated his willingness -to hear recommendations from other priests.

FraternaR Concern "As 1 welcomed the suggestion of the executive committee that' our priests be invited to express their judgment, now 1 am eager to receive their recommendation.

Accordingly, 1 request the priests committee on clergy relations to review this matter and to recommend to me an early and satisfactory solution."

"I ask Father Begin and Father Meyer to accept, as 1 have accepted, the judgment of their brother priests," Bishop Issenmann sta~ed. "I aSK all our priests, particuarly close associates 'and classmates to show their fraternal concern in assisting them."

Hurl Accusations The St. John's cathedral incident has produced a barrage of charges and counter charges in Cleveland.

A newly formed coalition of peace and anti-poverty groups called Christians Who Care, who participated in the ",protest Mass," has indicted "the leadership of the Catholic diocese of Cleveland" on a variety ofaccusations ranging from being "an agent of the government's propaganda" on the war in Vietnam and supporting "racist policies" to "accumulating vast wealth while disassociating itself from the poor."

Support for the protest Mass came from the Council of Churches of Greater Cleveland which praised the priests for their "courageous act" and said it joined them "in challenging the church to hear the cries of the people.'.'

Some priests have questioned the large size of the boardnine members. The Archdiocesc of New York, with five times more priests, has a Personnel Boqrd of five.

In the Diocese of .Fall River the Bishop knows each of the priests and the priests may see the Bishop whenever they wish.

The Bishop personally opens all mail addressed to him 'and when he is out of the city this mail is forwarded to him unopened.

This easy access to the Bishop has made many priests feel that the need of a Personnel Board is not as pressing in this Diocese as in some larger ones.

The Personnel Board has met at least a dozen times since last June. It is well known that, unfortunately, not all board members were invited to all of these meetings.

Just last month the Senate of priests directed that the Personnel Board Director draw up . for the Bishop a list of those priests who may wish to pursue further studies in particular fields of the apostolate. The director was 'also to obtain recom- . mendations along these lines from various diocesan agencies' heads. This concrete service to the priests and the Diocese is being awaited by the Senate and tho Bishop.

Laym'en Direct St. Paul Drive For Funds

Thurs., Feb. 13, 1969

System To Teach Black History

ST. PAUL (NC)-Coad: jutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne of. St. Paul and Minneapolis said that a planned archdiocesan fund raising campaign is under the direction of "responsible Catholic laymen" who will "work out the allocations and priorities."

The archbishop's statement came in a response to a request from the Association of Christians for Church Renewal (AC CR) that open hearings be held on the proposed $3.5 miollion fund drive-called the Archbishops' Appeal-in an effort to learn how the money will be allocated.

The request was contained in a letter to Archbishop Byrne from Russell Sudeith, ACCR president.

ACCR is an independent organization of Twin Cities Catholic laymen which earlier demanded a disclosure of archdiocesan financial records as a prelude to the fund drive.

A statement by the organiza,tion said "a large share' of proceeds" from the drive "must be used to reach out to the real problems of people rather than for the perpetuation of inwardly directed institutional !forms."

Prelate Replies In its latest request, ACCR suggested that 10 to 12 hearings be scheduled and that they be attended by the archbishop, representatives of his finance committee, and of the Community Counseling Service, a professional fund raising firm which is assisting in the campaign.

Archbishop Byrne said in a statement of response: "Let me state that the officers of Community Counseling Service inform me that in the campaign schedule there will be opportunities for the laity to learn in detaH the various facets of the case and the organizational plans for the Archbishops' Appeal.

"Allow me to inform you again, Mr. Sudeith, that this is a campaign which has been requested by laymen, and is under the direction of laymen who are interested in the needs of education and the poor in the archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. A!; responsible Catholic laymen, they will work out the allocations and priorities."

Says Famine Appalling Problem in Biafra 'People Dying in Large Numbers,' Missionary Says NEW YORK (NC) - Severe famine continues to stalk among thousands in the .rebellious Biafra province, while bombing' of relief Iplanes carrying food and other relief supplies into the area has been stepped up by Nigeria.

The latest assessment of the Biafra-Nigeria civil war was made here by Father Dermot Doran, C.S.Sp., Irish missionary, at the first ,regional meeting of the 23rd annual American Catholic Overseas Aid Fund Appeal conducted under the auspi'ces of the U.S. Catholic bishops.

Addressing representatives 'of Eastern archdioceses and dioceses .in this country at the meeting sponsored by Catholic Relief Services, Father Doran, recently returned from a factfinding tour of Biafra, reported the famine has grown into an a·ppalling problem.

, Ontario to Start Education Program TORONTO (NC)-An Ontario-wide program to stimulate discussion on solutions to the question of providing a continuous education for Catholic children, kindergarten to grade 13, is expected to be launched Feb. 16. It is being called Phase Two of the Provincial Education Program (PEP Plan). ' This phase will be diocesanoriented and will involve not only Catholic education organizations, but also such groups as the Catholic Women's League, Knights of Columbus, st. Vincent de Paul Society, Council of Catholic Men and concerned individuals. Each diocese will design its own program.

Among the proposais to inform the Catholic laity of the need for continuous educati~mal program, approved last year at ,the provincial convention of the Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association, will ,be a series of bulletins which could be distributed on six successive Sundays in each parish.

The missionary, who has been stationed in Biafra for the last seven years, bmught to the meeting recorded interviews with Bishop Joseph Whelan, C.S.Sp., of Owerri, and other key workers in the stricken province.

In the recordings the bishop, priests, nuns and other workers reported a critical shortage of supplies, a worsening of malnutrition and outbreaks of vari<lUs diseases.

Bishop Whelan said if the airlift ,was stopped it would mean the quasi extinction of a great nation.

YORK (NC)-The Harrisburg diocesan school system plans to introduce black history into the curriculum, Father Walter Shaull, superintendent of schools, anounced.

In a related move, Father· Claude Wiegand, executive director of the Diocesan human relations commission, said four workshops on poverty, and race will be held for the laity during Lent.

The two priests announced the decisions at a diocesan teachers' conference {In .race, held a,t York High School here.

The intrOduction 'Of material on race into the curriculum is not expected to begin during this school year because the subject matter still must 'be assembled and the ·teachers prepared. However, the schools have already ·been provided with ,bibliographies on Negro culture for use by teachers.

The material will ,be more than an introduction to black history, Father Shaull said.

What we want is a. real, true Christian understanding, openheartedness and empathy - all the good things that a Christian brings to any minority group."

The workshops on race and poverty for the laity will be held in eight areas of the diocese, which still are to be announced. Another series will be held after Lent.

There will be one workshop a week in each area for f{lur weeks, beginning the first week in March. Each workshop will 'be two hours long, with one hour for presentation of the topic and another hour for discussion and summarization.

The subjects will be "Profile of Our Community," "Ethnic, Race and Class Discrimination," "Religion and Human Relations" and "Human Resources and 'Community Planning."

"We're going to direct our attention especially to the leaders in the parishes," Father Wiegand t old the teachers. "The commission has in mind trying to reach those people who are unable to reach others."

University' a,,,,d' Tyranr,y' Recent rumblings have been' heard on¡ the campus of the Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute that have aroused dismay in the hearts of almost" all citizens of Southeast~rn Massachusetts and' ,of their sons and daughters who look to this University as a key to a better future for themselves and for the entire area.

A small group :of less than one hundred students seems bent on creat~ng chaos that will endanger the educational rights of the 2,700 students in the University.

People of the area should indicate to the University that as the ones who: pay the bill for the University they will not countenance ithe tyra.nny of a. ~i!lOrity.

A college-any college-Is by defInItIOn an unequal society. There are those who know and those who do not and who come to college to' :learn.

In any college, there are three segments~students who have a right, OIice accepted, to be taught and counselled and this in ani environment conducive to learning-: faculty members ~hb must, be competent and who are engaged in teaching with dedication and professionalism; and an administration which must' provide atmosphere and personnel and tobls for the teaching-learning process to take place.

I ' Each of these three segments has its duties and responsibilities. There must be open communication amongall three so that from a candid exchange of views all three, students and faculty and administration, wiII make progress in excellenc~. , But one segment must not cross over and try to do th.e work legititrlately belonging to another group. If faculty members went to take courses instead of teaching, if administrators stoppe,d off in class to tell professors 'how to mark students, if students try to hire and fire faculty members, then the cbllege society breaks down and the teaching-learning process grinds to a halt.

Ifstu~ents arrogate to themselves the right to hire and fire professors, then, by the same reasoning, faculty I members may decide :Whom they will or will not teach.

As has been insisted upon, students and faculty and administration must constantly dialogue .with one another.

In this way administrators can add another dimension'" to their knowledge of t~e effectiv~ness of the teacl1ing and learning process, students and faculty can become aware , of the over-all development and needs and- progress of the university, and students can know better that the whole purpose of the univer~ity structure and organization is to profit him and ~he commUl).ity. .

Another voice must be added to these three. The taxpayer is the "one payiqg the"bills for SMTI. He must make his voice heard and i~sist that no small minority has the right to bring this University to a halt. The tyranny of the minority must not lead to the deprivation of 'education to the majority.

Aid,

Continued from p~gc Qne Seibert says that although Catholic school students would be the principal benefactors, "the bill has no religious connotation to it." He noted that Catholic parents, "while of course not compelled to, are paying taxes to support public schools and are also paying tuitions to support their own Catholic schools in order to keep them in operation," Seibert described the Ifill <IS u a ne'oV concept, highly controversial, but it is also a concept that ,faces up to thp. realities of a part of our educational problems, and one which should be faced realistically not only by citizens but by our educators as well as our legislators."

Boiarsky thinks the proposed legislation would cost from $4 to $5 million a year, "certainly cheaper to 'permit Catholic schools to particiPClte in the state aid formula than it would be to absorb all' parochial school students in public schools."

He stressed he is aware of no constitutional ban against allowing Catholic students to share in tax money 'and that the legislature could legally approve the bill. .

Father Robert H. Wanstreets, Wheeling diocesan superintendent of schools, said he is happy to know "our legislators recognize the contribution being made by the Catholic schools and are concerned with our growing financial burdens."

Father Wanstreet said he would make "one important distinction" in considering the bill, emphasizing that the aid envisioned "is not meant for' the Catholic schools directly but for the pupils and their parents.

It is not a matter of seeking to support Catholic schools, he added, but of "insuring the right of parents'to decide where and how their children will be eaucated.

"The Catholic community has, up to now, borne the financial 'burden of our schools, and for a long period, of time.;o'~, This education, at least in secular subjects, has been provided in harmony with the legal require'ments of the state," Father Wanstreet pointed out.

Alternative Results

"However, in the face of the natural and legitimate rise in educational costs, we dq not see how the Catholic community can continue to finance this operation without some form of assistance from other private or public sources. Without some kind of help we may be forced to a drastic reappraisal of our system which might>:> .;. even necessitate the closing of certain schools.

"If we were compelled to take such steps, there would be no place else for these children to go put to an already overburdened, overtaxed public school system,", Father Wanstreet said .

The Wheeling Diocese has 57 Catholic schools enrolling more than 13,000 students.

CEF Backs Tuition Grants to Parents ST. PAUL (NC)-The Minnesota state convention of CitiZells for Educational Freedom (CEF), bolstered by an unusually large attendance, went on record as favoring tuition grants to parents of 'nonpublic school children.

Delegates .to the tWO-day state convention voted to support grants in regard to both grade and high school students" and also advocated higher grants for needy families.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall Riv:er--Thurs., Feb. 13, 1969

FROM STUDIO TO CHAPEL: New Bedford's Sisters of the Resurrection are responsible for transformation of television studio into chapel each Sunday for the Diocese's TV Mass. First picture shows usual state of studio. Rev. Thomas J. Harrington of New Bedford, who is currently studying canon law at Catholic

University, celebrates the Eucharist. Preparations for the Mass being offered

by Father Harrington are under the supervision of Sr. Assumpta and include positioning of the crucifix, arranging the altar cloths, preparing the chalice and finally lighting the candles.

Sisters of Resurrection Prepare Chapel for Television Mass The Sisters of the Resurrection, who have staffed St. Saviour's Day Nursery in New Bedford since December 1961, were "run~ into" their second apostolate: Tur'ni~g a television studio cluttered with lights and cameras and lights into a Sunday chapel.

"Father Hogan (the Rev. John F. Hogan, former director of St. Mary's Home in New Bedford and commentator Chapel and than "rush back to and ciborium," Sister Leandra for 'the weeldy television the house"-the convent-school explains. ' ; Mass on WTEV, Channel 6), at 405 County St.,-to have cof-o The "church" now has just one fee before rushing the three called one day just before chasuble-"At first it was a the television Mass started to ask if we would take care of the altar, "says Sister Leandra, C.R., superior, looking back the "more than five years" since it first s~,arted.

'IHe probably felt we were the closest to the television station and it would be easier for us."

The nuns "thought it over, decided it was ahother apostolate" and went to work.

They have been doing the transformation act every Sunday since.

Sister Leandra and Sister Assumpta now are the "television nuns." Sister Assumpta, who arrived here from London three years ago, replaced the original half of the duet, Sister Mary Andrea, who now is in Argentina.

The nuns go to the 7:15 A.M. Mass Sunday at Our Lady's

blocks north to WTEV.

"Men at the station do the heavy work," Sister Leadra says.

"They get the altar put up and the chairs out and cameras out of the way."

Then Sister Leandra and Sister Assumpta take over the chapelmaking chores.

"We put the linens on the altar and get the pries~.'s vestments ready and put out the missals," Sister Leandra says.

Sometimes, she admits, "we get there late and have to hurry, but we're so used to what we're doing now it just goes along."

The "television church" which goes on the air at ,tJ:45 A.M. each Sunday-has storage space at the television studio.

That is where the nuns keep such things as altar linens and vessels and priests' vestments"all but the things we bring home to wash-and the chalice

green on'e, because they thought green would cut the glare from the lights," she says professionaly. . "But it doesn't seem to make any difference. Now we have a blue-white one and it seems the same."

In the beginning, too, SiMer recalls, "they used to make up the priest before the Mass. They don't do that any more, either.

I think it's just as well. The makeup used to rub off on the 'restments."

To take care of whatever priest may arive at the studio to say the television Mass-"We never know who is going to be coming in until he gets there"the nuns have three albs ready, "small, medium and large."

Sister says the nuns "usually put out the medium one-then we look at the priest when he comes in and ask if he wants a shorter or longer one,"

During their more than five years of television preparation, and the "after" laundry work; there have been no real problems with altar linens or vestments, Sister Leandra says. "So far we've been lucky, There are no holes yet, thank goodness."

The sigh of relief is partly be- . cause of the price of linens and vestments today.

"It will be costly to carry on this work as time goes by, nothing is inexpensive," she says. But, despite what the price tag may be, "I hope it will con'"tinue, because it does so much good for people who can't get' out."

The, one casualty to date is the long handle of the paten, part of the' original furnishings of the chapel.

"The curtains used to be closed part way to the aHar," she recalls, "and the paten was on a table near the curtain. Oneday one of the men moved back and it fell on the floor. The handle broke."

Attempts to have the intricate handle repaired were futile.

"People said they couldn't fix it because it was plastic," Sister Leandra says. '.'1 tried to glue it together

and it lasted for a few weeks, but it's broken a'gain."

Latest attempt to mend the handle is being made by Joseph E. Slight of New Bedford, one of whose sons is a La Salette missionary priest in the Philippines.

'The nUlls and .Joe Slight all have fingers crossed.

In addition to conducting their five-day-a-week nursery school, which now has a morning and afternoon enrollment of 70, the Sisters of the Resurrection keep finding other things that "have to be done."

On Saturdays, two of the sisters teach CCD classes at St. Hedwig's Church, They devote every Sunday morning to creating a chapel from a studio * ,;, " and, whenever something else comes along that needs willing hands, they invariably find time in their busy schedule to do "just a little bit mure."

Times change, Sister Leandra says. Some of the changes she could do without-but the miracle of electronics that brings Mass to shut-ins is a modern invention of which Sister Leandra and her four sisters in New Bedford thoroughly approve.

THE ANCH'ORLOiocese of Fall 'River-Thurs., Feb. 13, 1969

Men's F~shio,ns (o'mpete In Clothi;ng Dollar Race J1y MaTilyn Rode1'ick It used to be that when yOlt went to·a party the clothes of the women was one of the topics of the evening: but things are surely changing and likely as not you'll find that what the ,men are wearing will get as much (if not more) comment than . the attire of the I women. species. And last but not least, because the 'age of 'the grey the "see through shirt." This flannel suit was with us for l~tter item could cause a bit of so long and now that! a change is taking place, it's worth talking about. W i t h ' more and more men huying more and more clothes it very well may make , them aware that, like everything else, the price of appar.el is skyrocketing. It is reported on financial pages that this year!s suit will cost $10 more than last year's, that a young boy's shirt will ·cost 50c and that no leveling of these higher prices is seen.

I Interest in Style Manufacturers claim that the high cost of 'labor is, the main reason' for inflationary prices, along with rising costs, in all aspeets of overhead. qf course, another reason for this rise in the cost of men's clothing could be the sudden intere~t in style rather than just serviceability.

There is a great sutge of interest in male fashions, more so than there has ,been: since the late 1800s and you know that where there is a great demandfor any item the cOlit of that item rises.

With the male of the species becoming as much a clothes horse as the females, families will find more and more' of their annual budg~t going for garb.

Designers of coure are thrilled with this exciting new' field and' each is vying for Y,our clothes dollar. A peek at what new excitements they'll offe~ this season reveals that six-'button double Ibreasted Edwardian and Regency jackets and I suits are going to be, big, especially for 10rmal wear.

Bell-bottomed pants, fur and fake-fur coats and higlily shaped suits are some of the bther hotoff-the-drawing-boardl it ems that they'll use to Woo (and probably win) the male of the

More ][ndividuality What does come out of this vibrant' new world of men's, fashions is more individuality' and less and less of the Madison Avenue mold. If this clothing interest stays with us, it will end up costing more and more for' the man of the house to stay well-dressed. There was a time when a man could get away with one suit, one sports jacket, two pairs of basic trousers, and a few Christmas ties. However, such a limited wardrobe seems to be on the wane. . With the emergence of the male peacock, builders ,will have to start {lquipping homes with more and more ,closets to house these ever-growing wardrobes.

In our own home it used to be that I could squeeze Joe's very meagre selection Qf clothes into one corner of my closet, but lately he seems to be overflowing into' larger and larger quarters.

Despite' a bit of reluctance on the part of the woman of the house to share her clothing allowance with her husband, she must admit that it's much more fun to buy men's clothing today.

The choice is wide, the array colorful and the whole outlook much more exciting. Why, if she's young enough (and he's willing enough) they can even invest in "his and her" fashions.

SAN JUAN (NC) - Puerto Rico's Gov,. Luis A. Ferre pledged that his administration will give all possible constitutional assistance to private institutions of higher learning on this island.

The governor, a principal supporter of the Catholic University of Puerto Rico since its founding, asserted here: "If it were not for the private school system in Puerto Rico the government expeditures would be much greater."

"The new government will broaden and improve its' system of public eduaction and will give aid to private universities and schools operating ~n the i,sland,?' he said.

The governor and John W. McDevitt, supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, were prin- : cipal speakers here at an obser': vance of the 20th anniversary of the Catholic Univesrity of Puerto Rico.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Tasteless women's fashions are dictated mostly by male designers who are unwittingly settling a score with women who have forsaken -their feminine qualities, according to an article in th~ Vatican City weekly.

The article, entitled "Aberration of Fashion," in L'Osservatore della Domenica stated that today's fashion designers are bent on offering "unusual"- fashions to women.

"It seems to us that the designers aim at villifying her, unwittingly of course, to pay her back somehow for the aggressiveness which women parade more and more with the other sex :j: ;:: :::" "And do not let us forget that nearly all the creators of fashions arc men," the article said.

It went on to say that the emancipation of woman goes "hand in hand" with her. renunciation of gentleness, charm, modesty and reserve.

It sometimes amazes me how I can let simple things go undone, For several years I 'have been meaning to make some lath frames for the garden and it seems each Spring arrives with them unmade. Nothing could be simpler than such a frame: a rectangle is constructed of a to your grandmother or grea.treasonable size (2Y2' x 3') grandmother, you're truly the of valuable antiques. 'One and then laths are nailed to owner exclusive New York store was the frame the width of the laths apart. The laths may be plasterer's laths 'which may be bought very cheaply in any lumber yard or any flat pieces of wood around the house.

I want to make a few of these frames because they are very useful in the garden. They are excellent for protecting transplants from too much sunlight (those I intend to make are very primitive and are held up by a stick, for serving as a wind protecti'on and for shading sun-shy plants in general.

How to Use Ir' place of laths I usually use an inverted 'bushel 'basket for large plants or inverted plant pots for little ones, but these look ridiculous in a garden. The laths can be made to cover larger areas and therefore groups of plants can be brought together.

For instance, .the first divisions of mums in the Spring can be set out in a small area to be shaded by a lath rather than set out in various places in' the garden. After the first few days, when the divisions have acclimated themselves to their new location, the laths can ·be removed and pressed into service someplace else.

Like many of my determinations, this one will probably go astray. I am still being kidded about my living Christmas tree, or rather the one I intended to buy, in fact, swore I would buy and never bought. Eve'ry visitor we had at Christmas asked to see our living tree and was surprised to see ,a cut tree sittjng in our living room. This project will be different, however, if I can just find the hammer, some nails, some 2x2's, some lath board and a few minutes of quiet!

In the Kitchen Valentine's Day comes at the perfect time of year. The glitter and rush of Christmas have long since ·been forgotten, colds and flu have everyone down in the dumps, and the dreary grey January and February landscapes only add to the prevailing gloom. The one bright spot in this pre-Spring season is the day that we commemorate as the feast of St: Valentine.

What a marvelous time to remember our friends and family with a little note of love and cheer! One legend that is told' about the loved saint explains why messages are sent' on .that day.

The story goes that Valentine raised beautiful flowers, which he enjoyed giving to the children who lived nearby. When St. Valentine was put in prisonfor refusing to speak about the Romans' gods, these same children picked ,bouquets, tied notes to them and tossed them through the prison window of th'e saint that had been so kind to them.

Even today lovers send their girls old-fashioned bouquets with messages of love, though they don't realize where the custom is reported to have originated.

Valuable Antiques If you're fortunate enough to have in your possession some valentine cards that were sent

advertising that it had unearthed a treasure trove of these in an old Manhatan brownstone and' that it was offering them for sale to ·interested collectors at prices ranging from $85 to $400.

Even if your favorite Valentines are not old enough to be considered antiques, you can still display your memories for your own pleasure. One of the most striking ways is an old picture frame (freshened' up, of course) with black velvet used as a backdrop. This could be a striking accent, piece in any room but particularly one that has a Victorian theme.

Many cards on sale this year are pretty enough to frame this way. So give hubby a hint that when he's picking out his card for you, he should make it one that will be pretty enough to use for a decoration. One of the best ways to get this message across subtly is to tell one of the children, they're better than NET and T. Of course you will ·have to express your thanks and what could be a better way than whipping up ~he followillg recipe for a Valentine dinner.

This is a delightful and easy recipe that makes such a pretty cake ,you can use it for Valentine's Day or (because of the cherries) even George Washington's birthday. .

Elegant Cherry Triumph

1 package (10 inch tube pan) angel food cake mix one pound, 14 ounce can pitted Bihg cherries 1 6 ounce package cherry flavor gelatin 1/4 to lh cup sherry 1 pint vanilla ice cream Canned slivered toasted almonds 2 Tablespoons currant jelly 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 cup heavy cream 1) Make, bake then cool angel food cake from the mix, following package directions. (This is the one cake' that I feel is worth using a mix for rather than starting from scratch.)

2) Meanwhile, drain cherries, reserving juice in a saucepan.

Heat juice, stir in gelatin until dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in sherry, then ice cream until melted. Refrigerate until set. .

3) When cake is cool, with long sharp knife, level top then invert on serving plate and cut a I-inch layer from .top of cake and set aside. Now, with fork, hollow out center of cake -leaving a shell 1 inch thick around sides and about Ilh inches thick at the bottom. Fill hole in center (where tube was) with pieces of cake to level off bottom. (So liquid will not drain through.

4) When gelatin mixture is set, with mixer at medium speed beat gelatin until fluffy and smooth. Stir in % cup of the almonds and all but 1/2 cup drained cherries. Spoon gelatin mixture into cake shell. Replace reserved cake layer; refrigerate.

5) While cake is setting, combine the currant jelly and lemon juice in small saucepan. Melt over low heat; stir in the remaining cherries until all are just coated. Cool.

"We have to be more careful . than ever as .to the spirit with which we go to these people," said Bishop Joseph H. Hodges of Wheeling, addressing some 60 former members of Papal Volunteers for Latin America (PA VLA). The bishop is the U.S. episcopal moderator for PAVLA. Despite the rise in nationalism the requests for Papal Volun~ teers from Latin American bishops and U.S. missionaries stationed there total a record of more than 1,500, according to Father Raymond Kevane, Washington, D.C: national PAVLA director.

At present there are some 200 Papal Volunteers in 10 Latin countries and Jamaica, he said.

The volume of applicationsfor PAVLA 'posts also is at a rzcord high, the director said.

Self-Liquidating There has been no decline in the idealism of Catholic youth, if the applications are a barometer, t.he priest observed. However, PAVLA has raised its standards to meet'Latin American needs and many who apply for service cannot· be placed, he added.

PAVLA is looking for qualified technical or professional 6)' Whip cream until stiff; usc to frost cake, leaving top hole empty. Arrange 3 Tablespoons almonds in whipped cream on sides. Fill hole with glazed cherries. Refrigerate until serving time. Makes 12 servings. A picture pretty cake.

people with a Christian dedication and with the personal'ity and flexibility that will make adjustment to a new culture relatively easy.

Father Kevane said P AVLA makes it clear to applicants that they will be assigned to a task that will help prepare Latin Americans themselves for the type of work in whkh the volunteers are proficient. For example, he said, a nurse is not assigned simply to practice her profession, but to help fellow nurses gain expertise.

"Ideally, PAVLA should be self-liquidating," he said, with volunteers serving only as long as there is a shortage of skilled workers among the people they serve.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Council of Catholic Women closed its annual board meeting here with a call for ('ouncil representation on state Catholic conference boards.

A NCCW statement praised the "adoption of state Catholic conferences as professional coordinating agencies for Church concerns," and paralleled their activity with the council's 50year volunteer history. The NCCW board of directors urged "maximum use of (its) organizational strength and leadership ability through board representation on state Catholic conferences where both groups exist."

Another board statement expressed hope foe the "extension of government investment into ,;, ,;, ,;, nonpublic education," applauding the effort of Kappa Gamma Pi, national Catholic women's college honor society, to use local legislative pressure to secure state and federal grants for students of nonpublic colleges. Kappa Gamma Pi, which launched its National Education Project last year, is affiliated with NCCW.

Vermont Court Case Involves State Aid to. Private Schools RUTLAND (NC) - Vermont's Educational Building Authority (VEBA), which last Rall had ¡the way cleared by the Vermont Supreme Court to help private schools with major construction, has again been stalled by court proceedings.

The latest development, which again involves the College of St. Joseph the Provider, could have national implications.

The Vermont Supreme Court ruled last October thC;lt VEBA could constitutionally help the building program at the College of S1. Joseph, because the college was not connected officially with the Catholic Church in Vermont.

VEBA proposes to put up the construction capital, then have the colleges and institutions buy ihe buildings through a leasepurchase arrangement.

Favorable Ruling St. Joseph's had applied for a loan several years ago, but because it was a religious school, VEBA filed suit to test its own right in the situation. Court proceedings took well over a year, and S1. Joseph's had to go elsewhere for financing. However, when the favorable Vermont court ruling came, St. Joseph's reapplied for a loan.

By reapplying S1. Joseph's opened the door for a possible U. S. Supreme Court review of the case. Bond counsels requested the constitutionality be reviewed by the Supreme Court before any bonds were issued.

In the latest move, St. Joseph's opposed the appeal to the Supreme Court. .

The VEBA appeal draws into question the constitutionality of the National Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, under which church-related' institutions have received federal aid for education.

Connecticut Case The college opposes the VEBA appeal because "the constitutional questions presented by this appeal are so substantial and because a decision on that question will have such far

Consider Merger Pian for Schools BENTON HARBOR (NC) The merger of St. John and St. Joseph Catholic schools here in' Michigan was proposed t9 parents and other interested parishioners at a meeting called by the Catholic Area Board of Education. The proposed merger was dted as the best way of solving the schools' financial problems.

The proposal resulted from a survey of the two schools made by a team of educators from the University of Michiagn Bureau of School Services. The survey \\ as authorized by the boar.ds of education of the three parishes involved, St. John and St. Bernard parishes, Benton Harbor, and St. Joseph parish, St. Joseph.

reaching implicati<;)l1s that the College of S1. Joseph the Provider is concerned that the court. await a proper case before deciding the question."

The 1963 Higher Education Facilities Act is currently' being challenged in - Connecticut courts, where a three-judge panel is now engaged in extensive discovery proceeding to assure an adequate factual record for the resolution of the difficult constitutional validity of public aid to church-related institutions for the construction of permanent facilities, and because that case will surely be appealed directly to the Supreme Court irrespective of the outcome in District Court, it will provide a far better record and, a better vehicle for such a decision ~l1at this appeal does.

Pledge $75,000 To Aid Cities NEW HAVEN (NC) - The Knights of Columbus have committed themselves to a program of cooperation with the Task Force on Urban Problems of the U. S. Catholic Conference, Supreme Knight John W. McDevitt announced here.

The 1,200,000-member fraternal society of Catholic men has pledged itself to funding the Task Force on Urban Problems over the next three years in the amount of $ 75,000, McDevitt stated, noting that the action was' taken at a meeting of the society's board of directors in New York in the last weekend in January.

The resolution adopted by the K. of C..board calls for supporting the Task ,Force of the U. S. Catholic Conference with a contribution of $25,000 a year.

The agency was established by the U. S. bishops to provide an overall Catholic response to the problems of poverty and discrimination' in many large U. S; cities. The Task Force is envisioned as both a catalyst to stimulate increasing concern by the Catholic community for inner-city problems and also to serve as a coordinator of various programs under way.

The Task Force on UrQan Problems operates under the di': rection of Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh, episcopal moderator of the USCC Department o.f Social Development. Msgr. Aloysius J. Welsh is executive secretary of the agency; Sister Mary Martial is associa'te coordinator.

Outline Program for Area Deacons Center Desig.,-ed Primarily for Inner City WASHINGTON (NC) - An apostolate of like to like describes best the training center for deacons planned for the Washington and Baltimore area, Auxiliary Bishop John S. Spence of Washington said here. Bishop Spence is a member of the U. S. bishops commission on the permanent diaconate.

"We have discussed the program outlined by the Josephite Fathers with representatives of the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus," he said. "They do not want . this to be a 'black program' but one for all minority groups-the Spanish-speaking, the American Indians, the poor whites, etc."

Bishop Spence said that the four training centers plannedat St. John's University, Collegeville, Minn.; Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit; SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, Orchard Lake, Mich.; and the Josephite program in Washington-will be pilot programs and will be studied by other dioceses interested in similar ones.

They will be re-evaluated by the bishops' commission from time to time as the programs continue.

Prelates Interested Bishop Spence noted that Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of Charleston, S.C., chairman of the bishops' commission on the diaconate, had reported at a January meeting that by then 32 bishops, including Patrick Cardinal . O'Boyle of Washington and Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, had expressed interest in the permanent diaconate.

The Washington program would be an inner city apostolate, Bishop Spence said, designed primarily for the inner city and for those from the inner city. If there is a sufficient number of candidates, it i,s hoped that the program in Washington will start this September.

He also said that a brochure about the permanent diaconate and the training program is be- . ing prepared. This will be made available for distribution in

Vocations Directors Elect National Board CHICAGO (NC) - A national executive board of religious voc'atian directors was created at a meeting here of the executive boards of three regional vocation directors associations.

Father Robert Perry, O.P., of Chicago was elected chairman of the national board by representatives of" the Eastern Association for Religious Vocation Directors (EARVD), the Midwest Religious Vocation Directors Association (MRVDA), and the Western Vocation Directors Association (WVDA).

The agenda included discussion of mutual programs and problems.

O'Dea, superior' general of the Josephite Fathers.

It was expected that the emphasis of the courses would be pastoral, and not attached to a "seminary structure." A class schedule proposed by the Josephite Fathers was as follows: First year: Fall: Sacred Scripture I, Dogma I, Catechetics I; Spring: Sacred Scripture II, Catchetics .II, Sociology I; Summer: Sociology II. Second year: Fall: Dogma II, Homiletics I; Spring: Moral principles, Sociology III; Summer: Dogma II. It was also pointed out in the .Tosephite proposal for the Washington training course that "the candidate should be gradually introduced into pastor.al ministries, such as lector, Confraternity of Christian oDoctrine, St. Vincent de Paul Society, etc., as concomitant means of formation."

God

Ce~t~red

, Continued from Page Two more by example a selfish world, was won for Christ. A generation of saintly apostles grew up in every Christian land, to bring the good tidings to others. The Faith was too good to keep. God is Good. Goodness is outgoing. Goodness leads back to God, through Christ Our Lord.

We are nothing: without a living faith. St. Pius Xth., was' wont to say: "I: am a poor man and Christ is everything." Born in baptism, we grow strong through the sacraments. We become Christophel's, b~arers of' Christ.

One way or another we witness before the world to the faith that is in us.' Happy indeed, if we can say in ,all honesty: "Be ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ." "I live now, not I, but Christ lives in me."

What an identity! What a happy calling! To live in an' exalted atmosphere of God's Presence, and to bring Him into all our associations. So many about us live lonely lives, especially as ~amily and, friends pass on. But we, commit them to, the infinite love of God, and in· that same love we find them, aJl.d even replace them, by .being friends, with thousands presently unknown, but whose salvation may be waiting on ;our interest, and prayer. Lent is a time for us to be outgoing. The priest an~ religiou$ might well say: "Woe betide me, if I fail to preach the Gospel".

The layman can take to himself assurance based on Chri,st's work: ."Whatsoever you do for one of these, you do for Me." In other words wherever we bring Our Lord, we find him in the eyes, on the'lips and in the hearts of .our neighbors. ' But unfortunately; :this is not everyman's e:x;perience. 'lOne might say it is not 'complicated enough .'to suit' those . with a passion for change. Our age is restless, torment'ed by deep dissatisfactions. Perhaps thewo'rst feature is an up.willingness to be guided. "Authority'" and "obedience" are bad words. And ,si:p.ce the supernatural does demand reverent hearing it is likely to be rejected. The good old pragmatic rule that:, '''seeing is' believing" has c.urrency witJ'l impatient stude,nts. They've got to be shown. They appear to thrive on dissent. Many of them profess an interest in social ills of society, but they have thus far failed to identify with efforts at a cure.

It seems our trol,lbles stem from a too great pre-occupation' with self. Th~t's identity, all right. It's the least common multiple. And it will take superhuman effort to get it up to level of ,usefulness to society. Illustrative of this, is the recent highly publicized dissent by the "experts", to the Holy Father's encyclical on Tmnsmission of Life. Even before the text was read and digested, there was a holy rivalry in, condemning it. Sensitive consciences insisted on being infallible, while the great body of Christendom agreed that Pope Paul was simply registering a fact: "Divine Laws do not change". So if we are to be guided by conscience; let it be a well-informed, and impartial one.

Another feature of our restless age is the oft repeated concern for the "secular city". St. Augustine had such concern in the Fifth century. He wrote a book called: The City of God. It presented his diagnosis- of the evil in the .secular city, and indiCated the cure in the City of God. Nowadays, men talk of finding Christ in the ghetto. Please God, they may find themselves, first. But assuredly not if contacts with the le,ss fortunate inspires only the reflecnot as the rest of men."· If our tion: "Thank God" identity is to <t~velop, we can't be wrapped up solely in self. We've got to reach out. We must consent to the fact that we are our brother's keeper.

A ,Time To Reflect · · ·

II

Have you ever wondered why the Church has devoted a whole season ,to penance? Why, when personall fulfillment and individual growth are today's catchwords, does She continue to urge IUS to sacrifice for 'others? Have you wondered' why the Church has not done away with Lent altogether?

The answer, I think, is simply. t~is, Sacrifice is basic to our religion. Just as it is basic to any relationship. For example, a marriage that is not grounded on mutual consideration. which entails much sacrifice - will not last. In the same way, our sacrifice binds us to Christ, and it binds us to, those we help ,by our sacrifices.

SPEAKER: Rev. Mark T. Heqth, O:P., Ph;D., chairman' of the' Department of Religious Studies at Providence' College will speak on "The Church. and 'Modern Man" a't the second , session 6f'the series fo'r adu'lts in" St. Patrick's School auditorium on Monday night; Feb. 17, at' 7:30 o'clock.

.

Many of our brother Christians in mission lands live a life' 0'£ sacrifice the whale year round. The spirit of penance ,seems. to be with them constantly. We are joined with these people in the br<ltherhood of man. We are joined, also, through the mystery of God's grace. And we are joined to them most especially when'. we sacrifice on . theirb.ehalf. .

This thought alone ought to insure us of the importance of Lent as a season' devoted to penance. It ought to convince 'us ,that' we . are doing something' truly worthwhile when 'we sacrifice for others.

Prelat,eDeplores Mass Executions ROCK;VILLE CENTRE (NC)Bishop Walter P. ~ellenberg of Rockville Centre has issued a statement deploring the mass trial and executions in Iraq.

Echoing the' sentiments of , Pope Paul VI and other Church leaders', the bishop said: "As Christia~s opposed to violence and terrorism, 'a~d committed to the defense of life, our consciences cannot remain quiet in view of this tragic event." .

He expressed regret that the Iraqi government did not heed Pope Paul's appeal for clemen~y but decided to carry through the execution of 14 persoQs, including nine Jews, for allegedly spying for Israel.

Just as the marriage grows stronger' wife learn the art of self-sacrifice, so, too, with Christ deepen as we learn to deny of others. This is what Christianity is all

The poet of the Old Testament, Ecclesiastes, has said: "There is a time for everything under ·heaven." The season of Lent seems to be the perfect time for us to reflect on the meaning and place of sacrifice in our lives.

As we ponder these thoughts, let us not forget those in the mission lands who call to us for help. Let us use this time to draw closer to Christ and to our fellowman, remembering that when we give of ou,rselves and our possessions then we becomemore and ·more like, Him, •.whogave' everything for others.

Publication Sees' War of Religion In No. Ireland

THE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 13, 1969

See Adopts New Liturgical Rules

VATICAN CITY (NC)"A true and proper war of religion" has developed in Northern Ireland, where riots have occurred because Catholics are being deprived of their basic civil rights, commented L'Osservatore Romano, Vatican City daily.

In an editorIal, the newspaper said: "Londonderry is ravaged by clashes which remind one, not so much of street brawls, but rather of a true and proper war of religion."

The newspaper said the news cannot be reported without a "sense of profound sorrow."

I,t said that in the six counties of Northern Ireland, "Catholics are in a condition of inferiority which makes them second and third class citizens."

"Only householders and owners of businesses have electoral rights. They can have a vote for every house and business they possess.

"Thus a minority of persons, which in past centuries succeeded in imposing on Catholics a proletarian condition, preserves Hs privileges and does not seem prepared to renounce them."

L'Osservators Romano said Northern Ireland's government, and its municipal and regional administrations, remain under Protestant control. It said that country's "responsible politicians" know that such a situation is "untenable."

"The grave Londonderry incidents constitute a salient episode of agitations and disorders which have been going on for a long time," the article said.

The conflicts and bloodshed cause profound sorrow not only because victims belong to "our same faith," but also because the incidents "gravely injure" the basic rights of man, L'Osservatore Romano commented.

"These rights are recognized by everyone but are trampled un by many. The honor of a country, which under other aspects has at,tained such civil progress, does not gain much from such violence. It is, therefore, ,to be hoped that good will, on both sides, may be stronger than all obstacles."

Plan to Reorganize Catholic Schools SCRANTON (NC) - Msgr.

William L. Donovan, Scranton d i 0 c e san superintendent of schools, has announced that a major reorganization of Catholic high schools here will be effected in September, 1969.

The plan calls for consolidation of educational resources in three central high schools- Cathedral, South 'Scranton Central Catholic, and West Scranton Central Catholic. T.he plan was prepared by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which staff all five of the secondary schools currently serving the greater Scranton area, and approved by Bishop J. Carrol McCormick.

The plan aloso' calls for students of all high school classes from both St. Paul's High School and Holy Rosary High School to be eligible for enrollment in Cathedral High. The school building at St. ,Paul's will be used as an expanded elementary school with grades one to eight.

Seventh and eighth grade classes of Cathedral and St. Clare's elementary schools will be enrolled at St. Paul's elementary school.

Saturday morning's conference centered around the role of the leader and how to play it well. A "brainstorming" session in which each participant, gave one word w,hich described his idea of what took place. Sister Kathleen then gave illustrations of these qualities and how to use them effectively. The discussion period which followed was concerned with the topic of similar ideals. In each of ,the six discussion groups a leader was chosen and the two directors went to each group and analyzed its process, with emphasis on the role of the leader.

Group Evaluation The afternoon session began with an evaluation of the various groups by the two Sisters.

The functional roles of the members was the basis for Sister Kathleen's next talk. Sister Mildred gave an example of bonds of community and the

MILWAUKEE (NC) - New liturgical regulations regarding reception of Communion under both species, Latin Masses, and use of white vestments for funeral Masses have been approved by Archbishop William E. Cousins of Milwaukee on recommendation of the archdiocesan liturgical commission.

In the Milwaukee archdiocese reception under both species has been permitted by intinctiondipping the Host into the Blood.

With the new regulation, drinking directly from the chalice may now be allowed" provided there is due respect for the Blessed Sacrament." The chalice method would be particulanly applicable to nuptial Masses, the regulations said.

T.he regulations stipulate that pastoral judgment is to 9ictatc which method of receiving Communion under both species is to be employed on a given occasion.

As to Latin Masses, permission for public Masses said or sung in Latin in parish churches and chapels has been granted under two conditions: that the Latin Mass is not imposed upon the parish merely for the sake of preserving Latin or at the whim of an individual priest, and that full participation in the liturgy by the laity be observed.

Scriptual readings and the prayer of the faithful, however, are to continue to be in English.

Permission for the Latin Mass is in response by interested perf;ons, such as Una Voce, an international organization represented in Milwaukee, who are seeking preservation of Latin in the liturgy, Father Joseph A. Strenski, chairman of the liturgical commission said.

By MSg1';I George G. Higgins The Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai E' Rith recently h;iiued a 25-page preliminary 'report on, anti-Semitism in New York City school controversy. Citing chapter and veriie, and naming names quite specifically, the report concludes that ",raw, undisguised" anti-Semitism counterparts in the wQite 'comis at a crisis level in New munity-who are attempting to pooh-pooh the ADL ,report and York City schools, where, similar surveys of the extent of

"

"unchecked oy public authorities," it has been building ~p for more than two years. This is a very disturbing document 'ibut what is even more disturbing ;s the clumsy, not to say' cynical attempt being made by :lome black militants to poohpooh its findings :~nd the find1ngs of similar worse than that, to create the ;mpression that those Jewish organizations which are exp,osing black anti-Semitism are somehow guilty of stirring up wejudice against the black cOq1munity. , A spokesman for one gro~p of New York militants has Ieven gone so far as to indulge i,n his own form Of not so subtle antiSemitism' ~n the very act of, calling upon~ all segments of the community to work together in peace and harmony. , Attacks Leaders Warning the Jewish community not to use "small incidents from this period of histofy to exercise Nazism against black people," he bitterly attacked "so-called black leaders," I Roy Wilkins of NAACP, Wh,ifney Young, Jr. of the Ur,ban League and Roy Innis of CORE fo'r not speaking out to counteract the growing anti-black sentiment which he attributes, by a torturous form 'of logic which escapes me, to certain unidentified i'rabbis and politicians'" who, he claims, are blowing up black anti-Semitism "out of all I proportion."

He 'charged that Wilkins; Young, and Innis are afraid to stand up and be counted o~ this issue because they "are funded or are on the payroll of Jewish interests <;< <;< * It would be in the nature of biting the himd that is feeding them." , Two Standards This is a good (I' mean, very bad) example of the kirid of. anti-Semitism which, 'quite understandably,' is causing so much concern to the leaders of ADL and other Jewish' organizations. To condone it or', to make light of it for fear of" offending the sensibilities of the" black militants would be an in'suIt to the entire black community, for it would clearly suggest that there are ,two standards of morality, one for whites ahd a much lower one for blacks:.

Black anti-Semitism is just as despicable as white anti-Semitism (anciwhite racism in ,all its many forms) and the ADL, in my opinion, 'was fully ;warranted in saying so very bluntly in its recent report on the 'New York school controversy. , Lessons of History I The. fact that this report rubbed some of the militants the wrong way doesn't mean tHat it should not have beeh released at this time. On the, contrary, it suggests, to me at least, tha t it was long overdue. ' Those militantSi- and their

black anti-Semitism are being incredibly insensitive to the lessons of history.

They seem to have forgotten, v"ery conveniently, that time' after time in the course of his~tory,' going back for many centuries and, coming up to the present moment, anti-Semitism has resulted in horrible crimes against the Jewish people and has been the source of much greater suffering, at some periods (e':g., during the Hitler era) than anything that has been perpetrated on black Americans by the white majority, horrible as the plight of the black man has been' in the United States for so many decades.

The 'Jewish authors and sponsors of these surveys have every reason, then, in the light of past experience to be deeply concerned about anti-Semitism, in all its many forms and whatever its source, and have reason, moreover, to ,be doubly concerned when black anti-Semitism, instead of being faced up to very honestly, is cynically rationalized or made light of by black militants.

Measure of Blame No segment of the white community in the United States, including the Jewish segment, is without its own full measure of blame f9r the terrible injustices which white racism has inflicted and is still inflicting on the black people of ,this country.

Relatively speaking, however, the Jewish community, by and large, can legitimately claim to, have done at least as much and probably more than any other ethnic~ or religious group to atone for the 'past and to advance the ca4se of equal justice and equal opportunity for black Americans.

Mr. Dore Schary, president of ADL, has pledged that the members of his organization will continue their work in this area, but has also made it clear that "we will not folerate ,the antiSemitism which we now see before us."

This kind of plain talk will infuriate some of the militants, but it has" to 'be said, and the sooner" it' gets through to the militants-and to the rest of us as well-the better it will be for all concerned. .

Brotherhood Pledge The Committee to, Stop Hate, an ad hoc group of distinguished New York citizens~blacks and whjtes, Jews and Gentiles - recently sponsored a fuli-page advertisement in the New York Times calling upon their fellow citizens to join with them in making a Brotherhood 'pledge.

This sample pledge says all of the right things against racial prejudice and in favor of equal justice and equal opportunity for all of GOd's'children, regardless of race, creed or ,color.

I hope it will catch on, but I ,am afraid it will not succeed in "stopping hate" in New York City or anywhere else if any segment of the population deludes itself into thinking that some forms of, prejudice (black anti-Semitism, for example) are

..... ::<;r.

BUFFALO (NC)-Protestant leaders here have gone on record supporting Bishop James A. McNulty's efforts to sell land in the suburban city of Lackawanna for minority housing.

This action was taken by the program ·board of the Buffalo and Erie County Council of Churches. The program board is the top ruling unit of the council ·between Its annual general assemblies. The Council of Churches includes 226 congregations of Protestant, Polish National Catholic and Eastern Orthodox faiths.

Lackawanna last October rezoned Buffalo diocesan land for recreation use only after the diocese announced its plans to sell the parcel, located in a predominantly white area, to several Negro groups. In November, the city condemned land for a .. multi-purpose city recreation center, claiming that poor sewer facilities precluded housing development there.

Court Action The diocese subsequently filed suit in federal court to halt the condemnation proceedings on the grounds that !t is illegal to exclude a person from seeking the benefits of a federal program-in this case a federal housing project-under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Court action is still pending.

The Council's program board agreed with the diocese, "respectfully remind(ing) Lackawanna civic leadership and citizenry that both the moral law of our common Christian faith and the law of our land make unlawful any action which either purposely or inadvertently restricts persons from making use of federal programs by reason of race, religion or national origin."

The board also suggested its church members "give this issue serious study," and offered the Buffalo diocese "our full support." '

of the art department at Bishop Cassidy High School, Taunton, directed a session aimed at increasing awareness of nature.

She showed slides of sea and s'hore scenes and led students into "really looking" at the world around them and seeing the beauty of ordinary objects.

For many the impact of the weekend came in ,their realization of what a Christian community could be. "We shared all weekend," said one girl.

Sharing ranged from such casual items as borrowed skates to an unfolding of personalities and problems. One boy was an unbeliever, said students. At the end of the weekend he went to a friend. "Teach me to pray," he said.

One service was conducted in darkness, except for the light of two candles and a spotligM trained on a crucifix. In this setting the students listened to a reading of a children's 'story, "The Velveteen Rabbit." . "One sentence sort of summed up the retreat," said a student. "'It's the ,time that you've wasted on your rose that makes your rose valuable.' We spent time on ourselves this weekend, and 'on how we could be more sensitive to other people. It was valuable."

Last Conference The last conference of the weekend featured a news broadcast taped over music, taped in turn over a monologue describing what love is. Snatches of news concerning the Paris peace talks, the Viet Nam situation and domestic happenings vied compellingly with the music and monologue for attention.

"We were around the fireplace and when the tape ended, no one moved or spoke for a

"We knew it was the last conference and no one wanted to go home," said another: On the last day, students did their thing in a special meeting at which each expressed in· any way he wished what the weekend had meant to him.

Elaine Bleau wrote a poem: o heavenly Father who lives above pray to you with all my love.

I pray for help I pray for care I pray for a guiding hand.

My life at times seems very hard.

I cannot make out unless you help me, God. I'll try with great effort to do my best And I'll leave it to you to do the rest.

Oh heavenly Father I'm counting on you And I hope you plan to pull me through.

Thank you Father for all you give.

Please show me the way to live!

T T T 'Only One', in Whole World' WASHINGTON (NC)-Rabbi Samuel 1. Porrath sat back beaming and announced he wa~ "reaqy to eelt crow" ,about tqe Institute 'of Transportation, Travel and Tourism which he heads at Niagara (N.Y.) University. ' "W'e didri't want too much publicity at first, until we got rolling," he said. ~'But our first semester is completed and evrythi l1 g'sgoing like wildfire, with 'recognition from the academic and business worlds." .

"This is a unique institute and it has an ecumenical angle too, sinceTma,r€lbbi and Niagara is a Catholic university,'~ he stated.

The university is conducted by 'the Vincentian Fathers.

Begun last Fall, the institute, or TTT as Rabbi Porrath calls it, offers a curriculum of study ,to' junior and senior college students leading to a Bachelor of Scien.ce ,degree. . ~verything That Moves Students are required to have a background in standard sUbjects like English, mathematics, history, and geography, but then oranch out into such courses as freigh.t rates, the marketing of concessions, traffic flow and control, parking terminals-their use and marketing, conversational foreign languages - and even guid,: book composition. always requisite to put oneself in his position.

A final' note, on the ad visability of a President's (or any other high executive's) doing some reading. President Kennedy had read Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August, which reviewed the antecedents and beginnings of World' War I, had learned from it, and had determined that, under him, the United States would not be allowed to drift or stumble into war.

"Many places study transportation," Rabbi Porrath said, "but here is the 'only place to study . travel and tourism, w!lich are so important economically. We look into everything that moves - , people, cargo, services, warehousing, storage, 'pfpelines, ocean, air, rail and highway travel, containerization, b~ses, taxis-even how to get a good hotel clerk.

"Another thing, we have to teach geography in a different way," he continued. "It's not so much where it is but what can we do with it. Also, we don't teach the student how to build an' airport, but 'where to build it and Why. "Th e courses attempt to relate to the student how the three _ travel, tourism, and transpOl;ta~ion,-work together and form a' whole,'~ Rabbi Porrath explained.

Write Own Textbooks Asked if TTT is the only institute of its kind in the country, Rabbi Porrath replied. "It's the only one in the whole world.

It's so new we have to write, our own textbooks."

Rabbi Porrath is a muchtraveled man himself, having visited Japan, Hong Kong and Israel in the past year. He arrived in Niagara Falls 38 years ago to lecture at Temple Beth Israel and stayed to marry a young lady in the audience.

He is now Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Beth Israel and says he works "26 hours a day" for th~ )·nstI·tute.'
