Edward T. Dowling, pastor, assures the Circulation Department that quota achievement is a certainty again this year. "People in Immaculate Conception parish have Fr.

Council to Give
Non-Catholic 'Christian Position HEIDELBERG (NC) The head of the Holy See's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity said here it is very important that the coming ecumenical council give a basic explanation of the position of non-Catholic Christians with the Mystical Body of Christ. Augustin Cardinal. Bea, addressing a gathering of Protes-路 tant and Catholic stUdents and university professors here, said that the nature of the one true Church of Christ should be spelled out by the council. , The council must make clear the indelible effect of every valid baptism, he said, as aU who are baptized are incorporated in Christ and made' children of God.

Says Teenagers Inherit Values From Parents MORRISTOWN (NC) Today's teenagers are falling heir to amoral and materialistic attitudes from their parents, warns Father John M. lfahey, S.J., of Loyola Retreat House here in New Jersey. The 41year-old Jesuit in the past 10 years has conducted closed retreats for well over 8,000 Catholic boys of high school age. "Eight out of 40 boys," he said in an interview here, "have something to say about drinking problems." "When a kid drinks a lot," he added, "invariably his parents' are drinking a lot. "And when a boy has a sex problem, you usually find that there is unfaithfulness or birth control in his home. "And when a boy of 17 years hears his parents criticizing priests about money requests or a sermon against birth control, is it any wonder he winds up critical too?"

Minimum national goal of the campaign is $5 millon, the same total as last year's quota which waa exceeded by a million dollars. .' Cardinal Spellman said the recipients of the surplus food distributed by CRS-NCWC know it comes from the American people. , He said: "All sacks and cartoni are labeled 'donated by the people of the United States' and 011 the other side of the sacks the' same phrase in the language of the people ceiving them." Clothing, medicine and other relief supplies distributed by CRSo NCWC are labeled similarly. ,"It has been a wonderful! source of good will throughout the world," the Cardinal said. "We are at the present time the world's greatest Samaritan not only in what we give but in the way we do it, because all the food and medicine and clothing is given ,not to encourage favo!: or for any other motive but solely to help those in need."

The 1956 Laetare Medalist said: '''Our efforts to convince our partners in freedom that we are interested in their welfare has been a faltering one.

Cameron, of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn., and Southern regional director of the College Entrance Examination board, said: "The small private college has always had the prestige of being the backbone o:f our educational system. Today, however, more and more students are turning to state institutions because of financial difficulties. "Many small colleges will be forced to close; others will nave to accept government aid and gradually will become community colleges." Small colleges, he said, cannot afford the high salaries necessary to get qualified college professors. The great pressure for admission to state universities is causing problems, Cameron conLarge state schools have felt an obligation to accept as many qualified resident students as facilities allowed. The number has swelled to such an alarming degree, due in part to the applications turned down by the so-called prestige schools, he said, that the universities are becoming more selective, deciding "who shall go to college instead of who should go." Many state institutions now require college board entrance examinations, he added. The number of persons applying to the well-known schools has declined, Cameron said, largely through counseling in high school. .

MIAMI (NC)-Attacks OD the Church by the regime of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro have apparently extended
VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope John has asked all priests of the world to join him in dedicating their daily recitation of the breviary for the success of the coming ecumenical ,council. He made the request in an apostolic letter "To All Clergy,". Pope his desire for Christian unity John said: "The chief form when he expressed his "intense of cooperation for the suc- longing that the different Chriscess of the council that we tian confessions, which through expect is prayer, and prie'stlY prayer above all, which immediately gives tone and fervor to the spiritual elevation of all Christian people." He. noted how the liturgical commemoration of the visit of the Magi to Christ came early in the new year. He said'it would be fitting at the outset of the year that the clergy of the world, in a similar spirit of adoration and offering, should make an intense preparation 'for the council. The Holy Father included in his invitation "all those who belong to the priestly order of all countries, of every language ... under the vaults of every church or chapel or gathered together in choir ... from 'the young subdeacon who has just begun to taste the fervor and tenderness of the 'recitation of the Divine Office ... to the venerable old man who finds gentle repose in his prayer." The Pope went on to make observations on the breviary itself. He called it an "admirable reminder" of the four marks of the Church-one,. holy, catholic and apostolic-and "the great divine poem offered by Jesus Christ as the song of redeemed mankind." The Pontiff' gave evidence 9£
the centuries of history nave lived and still live separated (from the Church), should' be reunited with her and enjoy the same benefits" as are found in the breviary. 'Relief, Comfort' He continued: "The breviary is not only a poem of joy for the mind and a daily rule of life, it is a relief and comfort amidst the difficulties and wearniness of human vicissitudes." He described the content of the breviary as a masterful blending of the Psalms with the other parts of the Old Testament and with the New Testament. "It is from this," he saia, "that our Second Vatican Ecumenical Council is already drawing substantial elements of most pure doctrine and wise provisions of ecclesiastical discipline;"

The proposed Fall River Area CYO marching band holds reheal'sals and practice sessions at the Catholic Community Center on Tuesdays, with approximately 63 junior high school students participating in the program. Several others have indicated their interest to participate and from the reaction of high school students it is believed there is a keen interest and desire to organize a CYO marching band for that group. Mr. Francis Wallace, CYO music director, has accepted .this challenge also and 'proposes to begin a program for this' age group in the early Spring. The Fall River Area CYO will abandon their home activities in order to participate in the Diocesan CYO "Hockey Party." On Feb. 21 all scheduled activities in the local area will be cancelled so that boys and girls, young men and young women will be able to take the ride up to Providence for the gala festivities ill the Rhode Island Auditorium. Lenten Forum Rev. Paul F. McCarrick has announced t hat preliminary 'meetings with the Anawan Street social group and the CYO Area spiritual chairmen have proposed the syllabus for the Lenten .Youth Forum to be held five .Sunday evenings during Lent.

EMPHASIS ON TIlE SPIRITUAL Even amidst the roar of the basketball fans, the flashing blades of the ice hockey star, the cheers of the home team and the encouragement of the partisan fans, we must realize that we have a responsibility to the whole character of the total man, and therefore we do not hesitate to take a few minutes out to consider in serious' reflection the proposed agenda of the for the Lenten Youth Forums .moderators and the adult adeyO for the Lenten season. through which we, the priest- visors seek to present in a wholeOnce again the area direcsome, sensible and practical way tors are formulating plans the essential truths and morals
which present themselves to the growing young man and young woman as they consider the reasons for their being. This year the Lenten Youth Forums will continue to mark the epitome of our efforts to qevelop the spiritual phase of the CYO program. Through competent laymen and priests who are aware of the vital problems of youth, we hope to face up to the challenge of the' difficult problems that confront our youth and help them reach that relationship which makes them friends of God and heirs of heaven-Sanc'tifying Grace. And so, in this editorial, we encourage the parents of the CYO'er and the CYO'er himself to consider very seriously his obligation to himself, to his future and to his God in making it his business to accept our invitation to attend these forums and to be serious in realizing that it is our way of applying Christ's invitation, "Could you not watch one hour With Me?"
The Saturday night teenage dances at the Anawan Street and Franklin Strer' Halls will continue to host the CYOers of the area at the Saturday night record hops until the beginning of Lent. Except for St. Patrick's night, no dances will be scheduled during Lent. However, both the Anawan Street and Franklin Street CYO's will hold their uSUlil Mardi-gras dances the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. The CYO Cadet Dances every other Friday night have scheduled the final Pre-Lenten Dance Party Feb. 16 and March 2. The Fall River Glee Club under the direction of Rev. Paul F. Conriolly continues its weekly Sunday night rehearsals in preparation for their annual Night of Music which will be ·held in the . Sacred Heart School Auditorium on April 29. Father Connolly reports the enthusiastic endorsement of last year's program has given much incentive to the boys and girls to participate in the Glee Club. They have received encouragement from all those organizations before whom they have appeared in the past years.

Fall River CYO night will be observed at Rhode Island Auditorium next Wednesday when the Rhode Island Reds play host to the Rochester Americans in an American Hockey League contest. Starting time will be 8 o'clock. The CYO of the Diocese is organizing a large group to attend the game with members, friends, and relatives. Children and adults will make up the group'. Local CYO organizations in Fall River, Taunton, New Bedford, Attleboro, Norton and the Cape are handling tickets. Tickets mlly be obtained from any group moderator while the supply lasts. All indications are that this CYO night, the first of its kind to be held by the Rhode Island Reds at the Auditorium, will be a huge success. The game itself shapes into a hard-fought battle. Both the Reds and Rochester Americans are -fighting, for key playoff positions in their respective divisions in the American League. The Rochester coach, Johnny Crawford, is former coach of the Reds and has many friends here in these parts. Crawford is looking .forward ·to renewing some old acquaintances on his visit here that night. The first in a series of all-star games was played at the CYO Hall, Fall River, between the Fall River and New Bedford In-
termediate All-Stars. The latter took the measure of the home team by five points but the game was alive with action and good basketball was displayed by both units and in an aggressive, sportsmanlike manner. Upwards of a crowd of 300 saw the event. The game indicated the calibre of play to be presented by the All-Stars in the competition planned for the coming Sundays. during the basketball season. The preliminary game pitted the Fall River against the New BedJunior All-Stars with 'the former winning.

"THE AN(H')",,~l)l.,cese of Fall River-Jhurs.Feb.'15. 1962
Morals in Massachusetts When men are 'charged wIth dishonesty 'and their honor is impugned, it is part of both justice and charity to weigh the accusations, to request evidence, to give ~he benefit of the doubt if there be doubt; to call for proof beyond reasonable doubt. , , ' When' the charges are public and, serious, then the treatme,nt of them must be in a serious framework' and not in an, arena setting. ' , And always there must be the fundamental American approach that a man is presumed il).nocent until and un, less he is proved guilty. And that is to the good. No one would wish to change it. But the process takes strange turns at times. And so it sometimes happens that while all will agree that crime has been done, in the furor that is raised over its commission 'the facts fade away into obscurity. 'Responsibility never settl.es upon anyone. The guilty person is never unveiled. Justice does not triumph nor does evil come a cropper. And why? In some cases the web of evil may be so intricately woven that it cannot be traced to an individual. In most cases it is a question of public apathy and the unwillingness or incapacity for those in authority to really get to the bottom of the situation. , The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has, for several, months now. seen its dirty linen along several lines in the process of receiving a public washing. But, in the process, there seems to be mighty little cleaning being accomplished. And amid all the charges of corruption and denials of the same, amid the scandals and schemes, the charges and refutations, the public remains unconcerned or shrugs off the whole proceeding with a cynicism that bodes ill for public m o r a l i t y . , ' And yet, there a few souls who are concerned about democracy and the flaunting of public morality that eats away, at the country from within. There are a few souls who are so naive as to believe that where there is smoke there is-:-----occasionally, at least-fire. There are a' few souls who echo the centuries-old protest of a disturbed and ,disgusted Cicero and cry out in his words, "How long, how long!" , The 'fact that Ma~sachusetts is distinguished by its large percentage' of Catholics only deepens the concern. Is Catholicism here so shallow that it can make men in and out of public office blase in the face of evil, unconcerned in the presence of dishonesty, tolerant of a breakdown in public morality? Or is it a case of Chesterton's comment-that it is not so much, that Christianity has been tried and found wanting as that Christianity has been found .hard and so not' tried. And so. the citizens of .Massachusett~ must .continUe . to say, "How long!" " . And morals in Mass.achusetts take-:-:-what, kind of a turn? I
Comments Before The' Council,' In looking forward to the coming Vatican Council II, Catholics are reading eagerly what those in high Church places have ,to' say. For surely some of the' comments of these Churchmen give indications of the thinking that is going on. , ' , ' , Cardi.wll Gerlier of Lyons in France has said, for example, that "To the question that some ask, 'Has the modern world passed the Church by?' the Council will reply by showing that the ChlJrch has not beelJ. sidetracked by the growth of science or technique or by the growth of the human spirit. It will testify that the Church is not bound to any civilization" to any economic regime, to any culture, not even to Western culture." The, Dutch Cardinal Alfrink has spoken along similar lines in saying that the time has come for the Church to sacrifice non-essential elements that tend tp confuse nonCatholics. The Cardinal has indicated that various practices 00 not all have equal value and that the love of' neighbor should now 'make Catholics sacrifice inessentials even if they are held dear if the'y,'are really inessentials and coIi-, fuse those who have inherited their ancestors" estrangement from the ,Church.

Then the Christian world was rocked by the Monophysite Heresy, faithful and devout ChrisUans would do so with two fingers held together-so as to confess the two natures in Christ, that He is both true man and true God. But their confession was not too evident so they · traced a larger sign from the forehead to the breast and from · the right shoulder to the left shoulder.

and 'rabbis in western New York State to 'keep them informed of ecumenical council 'develop-' ments. " Msgr. Francis J. O'Connor, editor of the newspaper, said the plan will be put into operation through the cooperation of the Council of Churches of Buffalo and Erie County and its secre-' tary, Rev. Paul A.Collyer; Rabbi 'Martin L. Goldberg of Temple Beth Zion here; and Msgr. Raymond F. Herzing, co-chairman of Buffalo's Interfaith Group. Purpose of the plan, MsgJ!. O'Connor said, is to help give the ministers and rabbis direct coverage of the coming ecumenical council and' events :eading up to it. In a letter to all the mimsters and rabbis of the ,area, he wrotec "In these days of meaningful approaches to brotherhood among men, the Holy $ee will be alive with official news dispatches on the coming ecumenj,. cal council and activities.

ality of artificial birth contrOl' flooded? radio station here with telephone calls. The Rev. Mr. W. Murray Kenney, former president and now director of the Planned Parenthood Association of St. Louis, debated the issue with Father Joseph W. McNicholas, assistant director of St. Louis Catholic Charities. The Rev. Mr. Kenney is rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church here. After opening statements by both participants and brief rebuttals, the remainder of the two-hour show was devoted to answering questions phoned in by listeners. Three out of every four questions were directed to Father McNicholas. Robert Hyland, president of KMOX Radio, decided to double the length of the program after calls completely jammed the KMOX switchboard during the first hour of the show. Both participants were willing. "The, primary purpose and basic qualities of marriage come. from God;--not from a pope or. bishop or the State of Missouri," Father McNicholas said. 'Push Panic Button' The Rev. Mr. Kenney held that there had been a ~'population' explosion" which posed a serious, , threat for mankind's survival. , The priest disagreed: He cited·' U. S. Census Bureau estimates' which showed that'even' if the country's population increased to' 400 million in the next half century, the population density would still be only 100 persons per square mile-approximately that of the State of Virginia today. "I think we're pushing the panic button when we talk about population explosion," Father McNicholas said.

And so It applies to u& Our Lord passes by US each day in every opportunity we have to do good. U we neglect that chance, He does not. reveal Himself. When the false Christ comes, he will say: "I am Christ." But not so with the Divine Christ. He seems to walk by us, trying our dim eyeS and weak hands to see if we have Faith enough to want Him. He leaves us in darkn'ess if we do not ask for the Light. Never does He act independen~ly qf our desires for intimate union with Him. He breaks down no doors; the iatch' is on our side. The principle of hiding until sought is evident many ,times throughout Our Lord's life. At Jericho there was a blind mlm by' the name of Bartimaeus who .kept' crying.. . out, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me." The Lord pretended to pass him by. But, despite the rebukes of others in the. crowd, Bartimaeus cried out all the louder-and he was cured I So it was with the woman from the' neighborhood of Tyi-e and Sidon 'who pleaded that Jesus cure her daughter who was troubled by an evil spirit: "lIlle gave her no word in answer." Finally, lHlis disciples came to Him and begged Him: "Rid us of her." Not until He had further tested her Faith did he answer .her: ''Woman, 'for this great Faith of .thine, let thy will be granted. And froni that hour, her daughter was cured." Our Lord treate.,. Mary Magdalene the same way oil Easter morn: He allowed her "to search, weep, IDquire, depart and return b~fore He, manifested .Himself. ' . . .. .
Thispretending·that He will" pass. by. is. the turning point' in many lives. The conscience' is qui<:k~ned, by the voi,ce of'a friend ·or a line from a book; a suspicion is arouSed' which if pursu~d might gain us -entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven; remorse gives conscience'scope as one awakens at. night ' :"'"" 'all of these are signs .' of.

THE ANCHORLt. Gen. Trudeau Attleboro Missioner Brings Christ· to Pagans Thurs., Feb. 15, Urges Upgrading Of Indian Ocean Island of Madagascar Launches Social Sciences_
BUFFALO (NC) - An Army general advocated upgrading of social sciences on a par with the physical sciences as one of the means to keep the United States the top leader in the world. Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau, a Catholic, addressed the Canisius College industrial-military institute here in the college's student center. Gen. Trudeau, chief of research and development for the Department of the Army, said young people should be taught in classrooms across the nation that the United States is the best nation oh earth, thereby rejecting the undercurrent of anti-nationalism in schools. The General said industry should help education by sending bac/t its most promising scientists and engineers to help keep the nation's educators abreast of the important advances in the physical sciences. 'Grim Times' "Certainly these are grim, portentous times," he said. "Evil beyond measure is the character of the Red conspiracy, vicious beyond comparison is the nature of its tactics. At this moment, the very atmosphere bears testimony to the terror which calls itself a political philosophy, preaches of progress, but promhies death." He urged industrialists to examine President Kennedy's request for tariff reductions because of the swing of the rest of the free world to the European Common Market. The General said America is finally awakening to the realization that it is no longer "the natural and single master~' in this competitive market. "The complacency so rampant today must be replaced by the fierce competitive spirit of 50 years ago," he emphasized. "We must turn to radically new devices, to the breakthroughs of research put to practical use, to the opening of new frontiers, or we will fade and , fade fast," Gen. Trudeau stated.
$39,500,000 Pledged For Expans.ion Plan NEW YORK (NC) - Francis Cardinal Spellman has reported that $39,500,000, or 58 per cent, of a $55,500,000 archdiocesan expansion program has been pledged. The goal is the largest project ever undertaken in the archdiocese. A letter from the Archbishop of New York read Sunday at all Masses in churches of the archdiocese reported that architectural drawings for the new Seminary of St. Patrick at Hartsdale, N. Y., soon will be completed and that construction is well under way at four archdiocesan high schools. Substantial financial aid has been given other high schools, the letter said. "The master plan for even more high schools throughout our archdiocese will cost every penny of tM' . $39,5.00,000 pledged," the/Cardinal's letter said. "We/have 11 months to raise the remainin& $16,000,000." r·~-'''--·······~~·~·--····~······

"Christ had come to Belo but would not have His home." That is how Rev. Donald Pelletier, M.S., La Salette missioner from Attleboro, describes the Christmas destruction of his tiny mission in Morondava, Madagascar. The Attleboro priest, who has been on the Indian Ocean island since 1958, writes "My Christmas trip was eventful and a little too exciting to please me. I. left in early morning on a little frail canoe for Belo sur Mer. It was raining and the sea didn't .look too inviting, yet I could trust my two captains who know their business. But then the ocean became very choppy, one of the men had to stand on the outrigger to balance our canoe and as I set out'bailing the water I wasn't any too brave. "This went on until 4:30 in the afternoon when we finally reached Bel sur Mer. It was still raining when I went to bed. Next morning, the wind was stronger when I set out for our little chapel. Total Loss "I was hearing confessions when I noticed that the wind was stronger yet. By the time I finished everyone had' fled from the chapel but the catechist and then I noticed that the walls were quivering under pressure of the wind. "I had just time to fold everything away into my Mass kit and run out when our little chapel collapsed, a total loss except for the bell tower, which was of cement. "It was too much. I could not hold back my tears. Christ had come to Belo but would not have His home. But it was not time for tears, for the scared and frantic people would look to me for courage, strength and comfort." A few weeks previous to the hurricane destruction of Belo sur Mer, writes Father Pelletier, another mission, Bevantaza, lost its chapel through fire. The West coast of Madagascar, he explains, is dry nine months . of the year. "After nine rainless months, the 'land is parched, the earth except for the dusty roads is one solidly cooked brick. Flat sterile plains stretch in all directions and fire is the constant fear. "A bush fire in Bevantaza left our little chapel but smoking ashes. Altar, benches, way of the cross, statues, everything was lost in the fire, except for the bell. When on a late afternoon the prairie lit up, no human power could stop the red inferno as it ramped furiously in all directions. REV. DONALD PELLETIER, M.S.

For Food to Aid Worlds Hungry
l\iI 0 N T REA L (NC)"Fame pereo" (I am dying of ,hu'1ger) is the theme of a Len ten appeal launched by Paul Emile Cardinal Leger, Archbishop of Montreal, on behalf of the starving people of the world. "No matter what their color or their religious belief, it is our Christian duty to come to the help of these unfortunate people," Cardinal Leger told members of the League of the Sacred Heart. It is the annual compaign of the "Croix d'Or" (the Gold Cross) to help the Pope meet the thousands of calls for help from the needy people of the world. The "Croix d'Or" was organized by Cardinal Leger in Canada in 1948 when he was rector of the Canadian College in Rome. lLaity Directors Until recently it was directed ". on a modest scale although more than one million dollars in food, medicines and clothing have been sent to the Pope's storehouse of charity. In 1960 the "Croix d'Or" was granted a fed'eral charter as a non-profit organization and today is directed .by members of the laity. Cardinal Leger said there is more than charity involvedthere is also the question of justice. He asked that each person lay aside each day a portion of , food, or its equivalent in money, to help the undernourished of the world. All the laity should share in this work, he said. The greatest world problems a,re sickness and · hunger, and all should help to try and bring about "a social equilibrium" tnroughout the · world, the prelate added. Time for Action "There is much talk of social reforms. The time has come for action," Cardinal Leger declared. "Catholics must respond to the requirements of their Baptism and their love. "The' first social reform is to · establish an equilibrium between ,countries. It is not only because · we' are Christians, but also because we are men that we must respond to the thousands who cry out 'Fame pereo.' "

Urges Teenagers Substitute ZIP For Hypocrisy MILWAUKEE (NC) - A priest urged thousands of teenagers gathered here in convention to substitute ZIP -zeal, intergrity and prudencefor a hypocritical attitude which makes them pretend they are worse than they are. "You are hypocrites: .. you pretend to be something that you are not," said Father Harold J. Ide of Whitefish Bay, Wis., at,the Wisconsin Catholic Action convention, attended by about 12,000 youths. He explained to the teenagers that they are not hypocrites in the sense of pretending "that you are better than you are, but by pretending' than you are worse than you are." He told them that in their conversation and behavior the last thing they want someone to say is that they are good. Commends Council Ul,'ging the youths to use their influence "to· win the world for Christ," Father Ide suggested the motto ZIP 'as a guidepost. "Keep this in mind ·and you can't go wrong," he stated. Archbishop William E. Cousins of Milwaukee told the teenagers that they should link their work and other efforts with the ideals of the forthcoming ecumenical council. "In this ecumenical year," he stated', "you should find your work as a definite part of the council's preparation by trying to put in your liyes these definite ideals which are the Church's heritage. You are the object of Christ's defenses . . . the object of His grace ... By living your life according to the plan approved by Him, you will win the world for Christ."

PARIS (NC)-Government financial aid has now been granted to about. 90. per cent of the French Catholic schools that have requested it, Minister of Education Lucien Paye has announced here. Meanwhile, the nation's 'highest administrative court, the Council of State, has overruled two decrees adversely affecting Church schools issued by the government five years ago. Contracts have been signed by the government with close to 11,000 of the approximately 12,000 Catholic schools that applied for state aid under -the Debre Law of 1959, Paye said

Mayor Declares War On Smut Peddlers MANCHESTER (NC)-Mayor John C. Mongan of this New Hampshire city declared war on smut peddlers.

At a meetin.~ o~ the Board of Alder.men, tl!C new .city head cited the "m~ral d~terioration of the community" resulting from the display and s~le of indecent and other literature. Pointing out that Manchester spends nearly six million doUars annually to educate youth in multi-million dollar school buildings, the mayor declared: "In spite of this huge investment, we allow these smut peddlers to prey on the minds of our youth b;V openly creating curiosity and temptatio~, and continually tearing down our moral tone."

"A good manner," says Mrs. Fitzgerald, "is the product of manners, not mannerisms; good carriage comes from character; and graciousness has more than a nodding aCquaintance with grace." "Wit.hout charity, modesty and moral behavior," maintains Mrs. Fitzgerald, "technique alone wiIi never generate the inner glow which characterizes the personality of the popular girl and of the distinguished matron." Her eldest daughter, Brianne, is 13 and, says her mother, accepts the dictum, "No early dating," with complete understanding. Her husband enjoys the charm school activities of his wife, helping her out from time to time with bits of masculine wisdom-"how boys see things." The Fitzgerald family was featured a few years ago in the "How America Lives" series of the Ladies' Home Journal, and Mrs. Fitzgerald herself has had material published in several national magazines.

Victory
,NEW YORK (NC) - The American Jewish Congress has called the' Philadelphia decision against Bible reading in public schools a "major victory for religious freedom." A special three-judge Federal court in Philadelphia voided as unconstitutional Pennsylvania's law requiring the reading of 10 verses of the Bible in public schools each day. The Bible was read. without comment and objectors were excused upon request from parents. The Jewish Congress, a major force today in supporting challenges to religious practices in public schools, said the decision ends a dilemma faced by children of minority religious groups. Leo Pfeffer, general counsel of the congress who argued the case before the Federal court and wrote the Congress' friend-ofthe-court brief, said reading of a few verses of the Bible "might not seem to present a' major threat to the constitutional guaranty of separation of religious liberty." "But," he added, "the practice is not trivial to those whose religious convictions are offended ·by the practice."

himself a fine all-around athlete. Ken is a lanky baseballer who stands 6-2, weighs 178 pounds. Built like a basketball player, the UConn moundsman is adept at that sport. Concentrating more on his studies at college, how,. ever, Ken has taken to the hard,wood in recent years only for intramural basketball games. Government Major The Wareham athlete is majoring in government at Connecticut and is minoring in economics. He has a brother Alan, 15, who is filling his footsteps as a fine athlete at Wareham High School. Ken also has an older sister, Mrs. Arlene Barrett of Wareham. Summers the UConn reUef pitcher has a full schedule .that ke,eps him constantly on the go. Besides playing for the Wareham Town Team, Ken works many long hours as a milkman. As for other organized baseball, ..he formerly played for the BQurne American Legion nine. . Ken's hobbies are all outdoor sports. He enjoys hunting, fish-· jng and golf, besides baseball, and most other forms of sport. At the University of Connecticut, he has also been a member of the soccer squad, having played for that team last Fall. Excellent Control A communicant of St. Patrick Church in Wareham, Ken has considered a teaching career after college, among other possibilities,· unless the dream of a chance to enter the professional baseball ranks should be real"-' ized. With Ken, the letter' has top priority. When his coaches noted he had the ability to come off the bench in a tough situation, with little warmup action, Ken became a
relief hurler. Typical of provelll pitchers who can be called upon to quell an enemy rally, the Wareham moundsman can jump from the sidelines into a game, but still get the ball over thEl plate, where he wants it. Eyes Pro Career Ken, though content as long a£l he sees plenty of action on the hill, nevertheless would rather be a starter and have a regulali' turn in the pitching rotation' a'1 the UConn nine. With his three years experience of pitching college ball, not to mention lWl semi-pro and high school background, Ken's credentials are not to be questioned. . The Wareham southpaw coul(1 conceivably become the leading h~ler for the' Nutmeg Stater~ this Spring. And a pro baseb;lU career? Anything can happen!
