Murray to Head Charities Appeal Taunton Banker to Serve as Lay Chairman Joseph C. Murray of St. Joseph's parish in North Dighton will serve as lay chairman of the 1970 Catholic Charities Appeal in the Fall River Diocese.

The appointment of the prominent Taunton banking official was announced today by Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, V.G., who will function in the capacity of episcopal chairman.

The Appeal thns year will be dedicated to Most Rev. James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River, observing the 25th anniversary of his elevation to the episcopacy. Bishop Connolly has been the diocesan Ordinary for 19 years.

Mr. Murray; a native of. St. Leo's parish in the Dorchester section of Boston, is the president, treasurer and a director of the Taunton Co-Operative Bank.

His other business affiliations include the presidency of the Co-Operative Bank Club of Massachusetts; trustee of the CoOperative Banks Employee Retirement Association and member of the Advertis-

Flays Nixon. Aide Proposal To Limit Family Children WASHINGTON (NC)-A suggestion that parents can improve American environment by limitin~ tbeir ramilies to two children has been denounced as "irresponsible and simplistic" by Father James T. McHugh t director of the Division for Family Life, The priest said Finch's reUnited States Catholic Conmarks are "inconsistent" with ference. Father McHugh's the Nixon administration's policomments are leveled at cica on population study. statements made here by Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Ro!tlert Finch at a conference on environment.

Fr. Rocha First Cleric to Gain Harvard Degree The first clergyman in the histol"y of Harvard University to receive a master of science degree in health administration is Rev. Anthony Rocha, chaplain at the Catholic Memorial Home, Fall River. Also an internationally recognized expert in the field of gerontology, Father Rocha declares that he is "first, last and always a Catholic priest."

For the past four years he has brought his expertise in the three fielda to his post as chaplain of both the Memorial Home and Fall River's Hussey Hospital.

His just-received degree in health administration was preceded by work in the field of gerontology at Boston University. He explains that gerontology is the study of the entire aging process, "which begins at conception and ends only at the grave." Geriatrics, dealing specifically with problems and illnesses of the aged, is but one facet of gerontology, he points .out.

Father Rocha is considering offers in the health administration field from places as far afield as Nigeria and Brazil, as well as two New York medical Turn to Page Seven·

Finch made the statement in reply to a question posed by a member of the audience who esked what people could do on a voluntary basis to improve the quality of life in this country.

"I would begin with recommending that they start with two children," the secretary responded.

Finch also said the government might have· to invoke "disincentives" to discourage parents from having big families.

But, he did not elaborate on what he meant.

Contrasting Finch's remarks with the Administration's policies, Father McHugh noted that President Nixon has asked Congress to enact legislation to establish a commission to study pollution as related to America's future.

The Chief Executive, he noted, has also urged passage of other bills callfng for specific research in establishing goals to protect the environment.

"One might wonder," the family life division director declared, "if the Finch proposals are now the policy of the Nixon administration, since they are clearly different from the proposals that President Nixon made in his message on population in July 1969."

Father McHugh said: "Specifically, Mr. Finch asks for a voluntary commitment to the two-child limit but in the next breath threatens governmental interference and coercion by means of disincentives."

That· approach Fr. McHugh emphasized conficts with the Turn to Page Eighteen

Chaplain Says' Troops in Vi~tnam Now Set High U.Se Standardsl

~IGON (NC)-"1 would put them up against any group of young people I have seen in my 28 years in. the military service as far as their manliness, courage and human compassion are conce~ed," .

So said Msgr. (Maj. Gen.) Francis L. Sampson, U. S. Army Chief of Chaplains, about U. S. troops and their chaplains as he made his fourth tour of Vietnam installations.

"They are far more mature and the most compassionate segment of United States society, toward each other and toward the people in whose country they have been for a year. I think the veterans of Vietnam will be a great leaven in our 'society," the visitor commented.

Talking about civilian casualties, Msgr. Sampson-said' "Civilian casualties are an unnnecessary part of war. Sometimes you can understand' how they hap. pen.

"Here in Vietnam recently a young boy threw a hand grenade into a school yard killing four children and wounding other children as well as some U. S. Marines who were playing volley ball with the children.

What action is to be taken on the spot when this happens? No chaplain and no commander condones indiscriminate attacks on civilians. When U. S. forces and lives are· endangered then defensive measures are legiti-' mate," "I know nothing factually about the innumerable allegations that must be weighed in the light of established evidence" he said in reference to the leged massacre at My Lai in March, 1968.

I "Pictures rarely tell the, story behind the event. Investigations take a long time: For example, it takes a year to decide to give the Medal of Honor, to establish the validity of the testimony given. The chaplains' pqsition is the same ;as that of any .humane person. They waht no more casualtie!i on eithet side than is necessary to est'ablish peace ~nd justi(:~,': Agam empha:;1Zlng that mdlscriminate attacks on inJiocent by-standers cannot b.e con~~ne~, Msgr. Sampson contmued:, It IS amazing to me ·that the press is so deeply committed to minute,ly report~ng on the U. S.

I "W~ have two differ~nti, phil: osophles - thecommumst~ a?d ours-on the value and dlgmty of human life," !

Chaplains' IWor~e HiiW "I found morale uniformly high," he said. "I did not expect to find it as .high as it aciually is.

Morale among' the Army chaplains is equally high, accofding to Msgr. Sampson. , "I talked to about 95 perl cent of the Army chaplains here)." he said "and not one of them complained about his assignment. On the contrary, I feel strongly ithey are closer to their congregations than ever before, either ~ithin the service or c.utside it. Their admiration for the young tmen they serve is universal." I

Stress Moneta ry Problems F'ocing Illinois Schools CHICAGO (NC) - The Chicago archdiocesan school superintendent, laying critical factors on the line, has advocated state aid to non-public schools and a state senator has disclosed reasons why such legislation is bottled up in committees at the capitol in Springfield.

Father H. Robert Clark gave three reasons for such aid-because parents' freedom of choice in education should be preserved; because it is in the best interest of the state; because non-public schools can offer quality education.

Destructive Raises Using local examples to emphasize the statewide non-public school crisis, Father Clark said: Some 150 of 422 Catholic schools here are "in trouble."

"I'm not saying they will close," he added, "but the end of the road is in sight unless they get outside funding."

In six years the Catholic grade school teacher payroll rose 100 per cent-from $15 to $30 million. The increase has been absorbed by increased tuition and contributions.

Tuition raises have proven "self destructive," with 24,000 students in Illinois leaving nonpublic for public schools because of rising tution.

Quality education will not be compromised. "If we can't have good schools, we won't run schools," he said. lI..<I)\bIbyltlw and Fear "There are areas where closing of non-public school would' literally destroy public schools," he stressed. Jt': could. "mean dOUble shifts- and hiring of dozens of extra teachers in the, public scllool: system.

State Senator Joseph J .. Krasowski, of Chicago, member of the Senate education committee, says he agrees with Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie in favoring state aid to non-publiC schools. The senator opined that fear and lobbyists brought about defeat of aid legislation a year ago.

"Groups interested in public education fear that if the state begins subsidizing private education it will mean less money for them and they will have to work harder to get additional funds."

Future Increases The senator believes the current non-public school aid plan will cost $30 million. He thinks some legislators and others fear the request "is going to continually increase."

He said aid proponents have a "big job" trying to convince a majority of his IS-member committee of the need for the aid, . warning there is strong support among legislators for public school education.

Protest Refusal To Hold Inquiry DUNEDIN (NC)-Eight New Zealand university chaplains, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist, have publicly protested the government's refusal to hold a public inquiry into methods used by police to break up demonstrations during the visit of Vice-President Spiro Agnew in January.

The chaplains said in a statement signed by all of them that if the allegations of police brutality are false, the' police can . only gain by an inquiry; if they are true, then action must be taken in the interests of the general public.

Versatile Art Student' Has First Exhibit; Y et Finds Time to Shoot a 39 in Golf

nil: ANCHOR-

Plrelates Score

By Ellen Andrew Success has come early to Miss Dawn Gilholm of North Dartmouth, a 16-year-old junior art student at Jesus Mary Academy in Fall River. She has her first art, exhibit at the Colonial Pines Craft Shop on Cove Road in South Dartmouth. "I'm a little nervous about it, but thrilled nevertheless at the reception my works have received," she said with a smile. Most artists go through a life-time with",1 out ever being good enough H;i~ to have their own exhibit'!i~ But Dawn has scaled those t;! ~,~1

I':'. ':t

heights in little more than three years and has opened up new vistas for her future in art.

Successful Exhibit In fact, the exhibit has been so successful that Charles DiTata, Coloniat' Pines' proprieter, has held it over and will continue it indefinitely.

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jehn S. Gilholm Jr. of 90 Coggeshall Street has been an art student of Louis Sylvia of Howland Road, South Dartmouth for three years. The Gilholms arc members of St. Julie's Parish.

"I've been interested in art for as far back as I can temember," Dawn says, "and, I guess, I've always been sketching something."

A short stay at Swain School of Design in New Bedford preceded her introduction to Mr. Sylvia and his art school.

Dawn does landscapes land seascapes in oils and water colors. She doesn't care to do' portraits, at least, not at this time.

Sacrifices Basketball She would like to have played basketball at Jesus Mary. But her art sessions, two hours. a week, come' at the time the team practices or plays.

Her favorite class at the, academy?

"That would have to~ be ·the·art lessons with Mother Reginald," . she said. etlthusia$tie::allY. "We have them 45 minutes a day and" sketch, do· water colors and just plain paint. It's very stimulating and ,I'm appreclative of the opportunity to take art under Mother Reginald."

Miss Gilholm likes tennis, horse back ridin~, ice skatin~. going to Stang High basketball games and' golf.

Has Shot a 39 Golf? Yes, she's quite a good golfer. Her best round at the Pocasset, R.I. Golf Club, is a 39.

That's pretty good considering ladies' par is 37. , "I'd ike to get down even lower," she remarked, "but I don't have that much time to p,ut' into golf." .

Her prowess on the links is understandable. Her dad is the ~olf pro at Pocasset. In fact, the family name is synonmous with golf in Southeastern Massachusetts.

The family home adjoins the eighth fairway at the Country Club, of New Bedford where Dawn's grandfather, the late John S. Gilholm, was club pro for 49 years.

Dawn's dad held the sa~e job for nine years at the Country Club before taking the Pocasset post four years ago. .

She used to play the accordian, but doesn't get to that very often now what with her school work and desire to paint. , The Gilholms' only child has no special popular television show although she might watch Glen Campbell once in a while.

"I prefer a· good educational program, frankly," she says.

Dawn is an honor student at Jesus Mary where she is taking college prep courses. She plans to study art in college, but hasn't decided where she will go.

Her mother and father arc justifiably proud of her work.

taste.

That fits Dawn Gilholm who, at the tender age of 16, has "worlds to conquer" in her lifetime with the brush.

Anti-Zionism PARIS (NC)-France's Episcopal Committee for Relations with the Jews has published a statement disapproving "articles or appeals urging Christians to work against Zionism."

Aimed at growing opposition to Israel among Catholics here, the statement added that many of these appeals display "a real ignorance of the religious cjimension of modern Judaism" in their discussion of events in the Middle East.

The statement - signed by Msgr. Roger Etchegaray, secretary general of the French Bishops Conference, Bishop Arthur Eichinger of Strasbourg and Bishop Jacques Marie Delarue of Nanterre-continued: "The compassion that Christians ought to have for the poor among the Arab refugees should not lead to reverse injustices.

F:urthermore, we must denounce the ambiguity of certain public opinion campaigns against Israel.

These campaigns unduly confuse religious arguments with purely political positions."

Apparently afraid that opponents of the state of Israel are hordering on anti-Semitism, the bishops' statement continued: "We do not contest men's liberty to make political choices.

Dut Christians should be aware that their participation in the anti-Zionist movement runs the risk of involving them in a new genocide."

One Less Rascal Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less rascal in the world.

Temporary Order Holds-Up Jersey Hospital Closing MORRISTOWN (NC)The New Jersey Superior Court has temporarily halted plans to close 77-year-old All Soul's Hospital here as the result of a complaint signed by 44 members of the hospital staff.

Judge Joseph Stamler, presiding at the Morris County sitting, issued a temporary injunction just four days after Mother General Josephine Marie, president of the hospital trustees, announced the hospital, operated by the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth, will close Feb. 28.

Mother Josephine Marie said the decision to close resulted from under-utilization of the hOspital by area residents and physicians. She noted income is insufficient to continue the hospital in a financially solvent manner.

The 44 staff members who signed the court complaint claimed closing the 160-bed hospital is not in the public interest; that they fear, along with other members of the community, the closing will cause a shortage {If hospital beds.

Final Arguments Officials at Morristown Memorial, only other hospital in the city, said they were "concerned with the adequacy of locally available in-patient hospital facilities," claiming that "demands on our facilities continue at a very high level, in fact, there are times when we have to limit admissions to emergencies only."

Fifty additional beds will be available at Memorial in May and a further increase is planned by 1972. Besides All Soul's and· Memorial, there are· five· other' . hospitals "in Morris·' County, which has a population of 300,000.

The court also issued a temporary restraining order to keep other hospitals from recruiting All Soul's employees.

Cardinal Defines Theologian Role SYDNEY (NC) - Australia's Norman Cardinal Gilroy spoke out in his annual Lenten message to warn Christians against those who "fog the clear massage of Christ as made known by the Church."

Referring to theological writings made available to the public, the cardinal added: "A factor in creating confusion is a misunderstanding of the place of .the theologian in the work of the Church.

"In practice, the most reputable and most capable theologians humbly admit that it is their place to help to advise, the teaching body of the Church.

Theologians state and support their opinions; the pope and the hishops united with him define the truth."

The cardinal added that confusion caused by changeovers in the liturgy is only temporary and should not cause any confusion regarding the nature of the Church or the sacraments. He emphasized that the sacrament of Penance especially had not changed in any way, and reaffirmed the Church's emphasis on private auricular confessions.

"It would be wrong," Cardinal Gilroy commented, "to suggest that a general absolution . . . should be a normal sacramental routine." since this could lead to a loss of emphasis on the sacramental nature of Penance, and possibly even to sacrilege and scandal.

Three PointtJ' A member of the junior class of Columbia Unlveisity, reflecting on the difficulties in that and other educat~onal ,institutions in recent years, has made three points.. I. He feels that students who demonstrate are defl~ltely in the minority. Last Spring at Columbia, the revolt Iwas spearheaded by only two or three hundred out of a ~otal enrQllment, of 17,000.

I Second, he points out that many ,of the "issues'j' are invented and quotes Mark Rudd, leader of JheColumbia revolt, as telling a Harvard audience, "we manufact~red . the issues . . . . The Institute for Defense Analysis is nothing at Columbia. Just thre~ professors. And the !gym issue is bull. It doesn't mean anythin~ to anybody. i' , The third point made by Frederick Lowell is thai the, avowed interest, of Students for a Democratic Society in educational reform is nil. At, Columbia thiis SDS group was the only student group that refused to' submit Iproposals for the restructuring of the university. i .

Mr. Lowell indicates that SDS members, most calling for a vague worker" state although themslelves from the middle class, are interested in, becoming a· determined threat to' the continuation of American society.

, However, a major constitutional test concerning the rights and freedoms of the pre'ss appears in the offing, not only in the political arena but also in the office of the Attorney General and the Justice Department.:

nor.· The Zenger trial aroused an interest that extended far beyond New York.

It wa's a question of whether the press should, or should not, criticize the acts of public officials.

. .C©lJ'lllell' Stculle of 'Am@ric(Q]n ,l;berty Andrew' Hamilton volunteered his 'services in Zenger's defense. ,His plea to the. jury concerned the liberty of exposing· and opposing arbitrary power. Zenger was acquitted. That trial, it has been often said, is the morning star of the liberty which subsequently revolutionized America.

The truth of the press and its .search. for that truth is a· corner stone' of American liberty., , The voice of liberty' ~s limited when the freedom, of the press is Jimited.

May each one of us be as courageous as John Zenger and defend our fundamental freedoms, thus.· preserving our constitutional rights and liberties as true Americans.

How many people in this country know that reporters have been sub-poenaed to deliver notebooks and tape recordings to the Justice Department?

Similar demands were made last October for unedited, files and photographs of Timej,Life and, Newsweek.

cause of the ensuing outcryhas backed down for the time being.

The .gulf between the Justice Department and the news media is so great that the Attorney General himself has entered the political maneuverings to ease the , bitterness caused by the government sub-poenas. Notwithstanding the many promises' of reconciliation moves on· the part of Attorney General Mitchell, there has been no action .

There are many in the news media who express sincere doubt that the Justice Department's apparent change of heart represents a real change of heart.

In fact, from the ve.ry first days of the initial attack on the press and news media by Vice President Agnew, the battie lines have, been drawn into a pattern of attack.

Certainly, this has not been without the knowledge and consent of the nation's Chief Exective in the White House.

It is cause for wonderment that the sentim'ents made after the 1960, campaigning are not being realized. Of course, this is mere speculation.

KURNOOL (NC)-A mass Anglican exodus here t.o the Roman Catholic Church has been stalled temporarily by the financial inability of the Catholic bishop to provide new churches.

Although the desire of the Anglicans to join the Catholic Church is still there, the initial enthusiasm has died down and, according to one former Anglican leader, "for the present there is no movement."

The infant Kurnool diocese is so poor that Bishop Joseph Rajappa is unable to build chapels wherever the Anglicans decide to join. Many Anglicans interpret this as a lack of interest from the Catholic side.

They also claim that Catholic authorities are insisting that the Anglicans joining the Catholic Church should not only build their own chapels and churches, but also buy the land for themselves and pay their own catechists.

In the initial movement, about 3,000 Anglican laymen joined the Catholic Church in some two months. The exodus began after five leading clergymen were received into the Catholic Church

by Bishop Rajappa in June, 1969.

Says Home Improvers Can. Use Good Nervous System

Thurs.. Feb. 26, 1970

U.S, Nun N10med Superior Genera I

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

I have just spent vacation week painting. Last July we started an extension to our house and we have finally reached the point where we are doing the finish painting.

Actually we lost about two months dealing with subcontractors who turned out tp be nothing but trouble. We namon we all ate it with great relish and much praise for our had just about given up in morning chef. despair when we had a Since then she has whipped up

change of luck. We hired a plumber who was excellent, prompt and efficient, an electrician who came when he said he would come, a painter to finish our dry wall who was neat, courteous and professional. So now the job is just about finished and we should be using the extension within the month.

Marilyn has weathered the storm and now all we have to worry about is paying for the whole thing.

A Few Hints From our experience we can pass on a few hints to those of you who are contemplating sim· ilar projects. First of all, Marilyn and I have developed a principle which we feel covers a great deal of territory: "You can't afford most things that you want and you can't find most things that you can afford." Essentially this principle means that buildin~ is a series of compromises.

A second principle can be stated as follows: "Design your house to suit your own living pattern, using your own taste and judgment rather than relying on the experts." In other words, throwaway the magazines, and turn on your own powers of creativity.

You will make mistakes, and you may hara,ngue each other over them but mistakes will be made even by "experts" anyway, so except for the fact that you can blame someone else there is very little to be gained. by bringing in outside consultants.

Thirdly and most importantly: "Bargains are not to be had in the building business and are useful only in that they make the builder feel better." If we have learned anything it is that you pay dearly for anything that comes cheap, both in time and in energy.

The final principle is very simply stated: "Don't start unless your frustration level is high, your nervous system in good order, your insistence on cleanliness low and your perseverance infinite."

In the Kitchen It's my firm belief that we constantly underestimate chilo dren, their abilities and their understanding. Sister Ann Boland of the Holy Union Preschool has shown us again and again that even the tiniest tot is capable of being a responsible human being if we respect his intelligence and treat him accordingly. Oddly enough, the children who do learn to be self-reliant and reo "sponsible at an early age are very proud of their accomplishment, and appear to get a great deal more out of life than those who have \ everything done for them and remain helpless children (and even helpless adults).

This philosophy really hit home this week when Melissa (who is eight) received the Better Homes and Gardens Junior Cook Book for a Valentine present. She was thrilled and proceeded to prepare breakfast for everyone in the house forthwith.

Cinnamon toast was the feature of the day and while it was a bit heavy on the sugar and cin-

a batch of cookies for some little friends, made cheeseburgers for lunch and today she's preparing dinner. Last evening she made a molded salad and deviled eggs in order to have more time for the ba~ics today.

Nodding Acquaintance ' I'll admit that she isn't the clean-up girl that my older daughter is but we all pitch in and help with this messy part of the job, and this takes the toil out of it. While I'm sure the newness and novelty of the culinary hobby will wear off, I truly believe that children at a very early age should have at least a nodding acquaintance with the kitchen (just in order not to starve if for no other reason).

I still find it quite amazing that so many girls get married (myself included) without having the foggiest idea of even how to hard-cook an egg. Helplessness is cute in some areas but in cooking it's an unnecessary handicap.

Along with the basic knowledge of how to prepare food that. comes with experience, the young cook is also exposed to. the joys of cooking-a joy we hope will carry over into adult life.

This is the "oh-so-easy" cookie recipe that Melissa baked for her friends. % cup shortening 1 egg cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 Y2 cups flour 1 Y2 teaspoon baking powder Y2 cup broken nut meats' 4 teaspoons milk 1,4 teaspoon salt Y2 cup raisins 1) Set oven at 375°. Put a bit of shortening on a piece of waxed paper and rub over the cookie sheet until it is lightly greased.

2) Soften the shortening with a wooden spoon and mix the sugar into the shortening, very well. Add the egg and beat until shortening, sugar and egg are fluffy and unstreaked. Add the vanilla and mix well.

3) Sift together the baking powder, flour, and salt. Set aside until needed.

4) Add the' milk to the shortening-egg mixture. Slowly add the flour mixture and the nuts and raisins, stir very well until all ingredients are well-blended.

5) Drop by teaspoons on the cookie sheet and bake about 12 minutes. Sprinkle on some sugar while still warm. .

The suggestion was she might "wish to order other boating equipment or a higher horsepower engine."

But she's still stuck with the problem of what to do with the 25-horsepower motor.

Christian Ignorance Prolblem forr Jews .

BOSTON (NC)-Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston said here that the "greastest enemy" of the Jewish people within the Christian community is a "simple ignorance of Judaism."

The prelate issued a statement to open a series of 10 Sunday evening lectures on Judaism, presented for reliltious and lay teachers by rabbis and other Jewish leaders.

Cardinal Cushing urged Religiolls and lay teachers in parochial schools and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine to participate in the courses.

"Ever since the Fathers of Vatican II translated the word 'eculTlenism' into'a living experience, the Catholic and Jewish people in the Greater Boston community have increased their efforts to seek out new ways of cooperating with one another," Cardinal Cushing stated.

Proposed Church Merger Deepens Interfaith Ties

'tHE ANCHORThurs., Feb. 26, 1970 l'

':\

College Students Protest Course

WASHINGTON (NC) Establishment of the Church of Christ Uniting, which would join a third of America's Protestants into a single church, is looked upon favorably

by Catholic ecumenical leaders, who view the move as a means of simplifying dialogue and deepening relationships among all churches.

These sentiments came from Msgr. Bernard Law, director, and Father John Hotchkin, associate director of 'the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Interreligious and Ecumenical Affairs. Both have been observers at previous sessions of the Consultation on Church Union which released details of the merger plan in a 170-page document.

Nine major Protestant denominations, representing 25 million members, will vote on the unity plan at the consultation's annual meeting March 9 to 13 in St. Louis. If approved, the' new union is not expect('d to become a reality until 1980.

Commenting on the impact the merged church would have on ecumenical ties with the Cathoiic Church, Msgr. Law said: "For one thing, dialogue would be simplified because some of the issues under consideration

by Catholics and the nine Protestant churches could be resolved collectively by the consultation churches."

Instead of talking with separate denominations over certain issues, if the merger is ratified, Msgr. Law said Catholics could look forward to discussing points of comlnon concern with one church body.

'Warm Relationship' Msgr. Law said the presence of Catholic observers, including Jan Cardinal Willebrands, head of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, at previous consultation meetings demonstrates the Church's interest in its deliberations.

"Catholics," he said, "need to watch the union with great interest and give the effect their prayers." .

If the draft plan is approved, Father Hotchkin anticipates there will be "a ~onsiderable effort on the part of the Church of Christ Uniting to be fully engaged in solritual ecumenism with the Catholic Church." .

The proposed ~hurch, he added, "does not see itself as the final goal in the ecumenical movement, and this is the kind of thinking that leads to a deepening of relationships with other churches."

The Rev. Paul A. Crow Jr., consultation general secretary, in Princeton, N.J., told NC News Service he sees the proposed new church "carrying forth, even accentuating the ecumenical spirit. We see it involving a warm relationship with the Cath.olic Church as well as other Christian churches."

Judge He([JIds CDA NEW YORK (NC}-Mary C. Kanane of Union, N. J., judge of the Surrogate's 'Court of Union County, is the new national regent of the 225,OOO-member Catholic Daughters of America.

Arc~itectural Barriers 20 Million 'Built Out' of Normal Living

Report Cites

WASHINGTON (NC) - With the approach, in April, of its annual meeting here, the President's Committee on the Employment of the Handicapped is call-' ing attention again to architectural barriers as they affect persons with disabilities.

More than 20 million, Americans 'are "built out" of normal living by unnnecessary barriers, a study has revealed.

The convention of the president's committee is one of the largest, most colorful and most enthusiastically participated in meetings this city. sees each year. The elimination of architectural barriers is one interest of the committee's broad program.

"The greatest single obstacle to employment of the handi-, capped is the physical design of buildings and facilities they must use," asserts the report of a national commission which the committee has helped to circulate.

It notes that physically handicapped persons encounter a stairway, a too-narrow door, a too-high telephone, and other obstacles because "at the right moment, their n~eds were overlooked."

"The most common causes of inaccessibility are due entirely to

Use Credit Cards路 \ For Contribution,S

, ,

I

SAN JOSE (NC) - To boost Sunday collections members of the Blue Hill Baptist Church here may use credit cards. ' Before the collection basket is passed, blank charge forms are available at a table conveniently supplied with pens and a charge card imprinter. A churchgoer can easily fill out a form and quietly drop it into the collection basket when it is passed.

The idea originated with Tom Sheppard, a member of the church, and aporoved by the church's board or'deacons. Sheppard, an airlines pilot, thought the credit cards would encourage regular contributions from church members who may fall behind in their pledges because of the accumulation of family bills.

failure to think of the needs of the handicapped at the design and planning stage" of a building, it is reported.

One out of every ten persons has some disability which prevents him from using buildings and facilities designed only for the physically fit, it has been found. ,Among this, one-tenth of the population are two million children 'with orothopedic handicaps, and millions of adults who are enfeebled by age or who have heart disease, - arthritis, deafness, blindness, and other chronic disabilities.

And, over and above these, there are "millions, temporarily disabled who, could return to work or school sooner if buildings were designed for accessibility."

Too Small, Too High "In every community, virtually all of the buildings and facilities most commonly used by the public have features that bar the handicapped," the report says.

Some of the "causes of inaccessibility" are: steps and curbs;

steep and narrow walks, gratings in walkways; doors that are too narrow, revolve or are hard to open; too narrow' aisles in cafeterias, restaurants, libraries, auditoriums, etc:; too small public toilets and telephone booths; too high telephones, drinking fountains, vending machines, light switches, fire alarms.

Asserting tha( new facilities built and equipped to accommodate the handicapped and the remodeling of many old buildings would cost little, the report recommends: hand rails; ground level entrances or ramps; steps rounded instead of squared at the edges; doors that open automatically; raised' letters on doors and elevators so that the blind can read them; danger signals equipped with lights as well as sound so that the deaf may be warned; non-slip floors, etc.

-Chesterfield

DUBLIN (NC) - Philosophy, students at University College, Dublin, have started a minirevolt to protest what they consider to be one-sided treatment of philosophy in their courses.

All teaching, they charge, is dominated by the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, the famed 13th-century Dom'lniean.

The students, in the department of metaphysics, have circulated a statement of complaints, and hlJ,ve als'o threatened to withdraw from participation in a staff-student committee because of non-cooperation by the staff.

One graduate student, Augustine Gibney, said: "In essence what is meant here by the history of philosophy is the history of human aberration to which there is but one exception Aquinas." .

Recently, the secon'd-year students, whose elected representative is a young Augustinian seminarian, sent a letter to the college academic council demanding action to remedy the deadlock.

The dean of the faculty of arts, of whieh the depa.rtment of metaphysics is a part, is Msgr.

John Horgan, an elderly scholar who is thought to be the "watchdog" of Archbishop John McQuaid of Dublin in the university, especially where courses in philosophy and to some extent in history and pOlities, are concerned.

CHICAGO (NC)-The voice of a scientist defending an unpopular cause was heard here amid" public' ,clamor against gigantic corporations accused of breaking down the country's conservation efforts and causing pollution problems.

By Barbara Ward I There are many notions and theories about the link between misfortune and violence.

the •conclusions, therefore, deserVe our attention. A research team from Cornell University has just published such a study of the interaction between violence and deprivation in the American cities in which rioting has occurred. . Contrary to many current ideas, their findings' suggest that race is not' a final determinant of violence.

There were more white 'snipers than black-just as there are more white citizens than black. More white than black rioters came from out of- town. .

There were thus more white than black "inciters to violence," although more black citizens may have reacted to local' grievances, But· one characteristic cuts across all categories, of rioters-in town; out of town,black; white, young, middle-aged-and this was the basic fact of being unemployed.

Again, it was a society o,f minimal efficiency. But so long as the lord was kind and the weather good, few people wor;ried about their plac:e in the s~-' cial order. Certainly work, or the quality of work, had almos,t nothing to do with iit.

FATHER LAUlGHLlN,

Father Laughlin Continued from Page One the· Soldier's Medal for approaching a young soldier who had gone berserk and was firing from a building into a compound. : ,The, soldier had already seriously wounded a Vietnamese woman, and Father Laughlin walked toward the man's position directly in his line of fire, was taken hos~ge by the soldier, and then calmed him so that the firing ceased.

The citation reads: "Because of Chaplain Laughlin's courage and'disregard for his own safety, further harm to innocent soldiers and civilians was prevented.

Captain Laughlin's heroic actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United' States Army."

' Commissioner W. C. Link of Nashville, Tenn., has joined Fa· ther Hill'in conducting'the hearings in order "to obtain broad community response_on the nature of this critical problem in the city and ,state and throughout the United States," according to Father Hill.

The Jesuit priest, who is president of Morality in Media, Inc. here, said the hearings "will assist us in the performance of our duties as members of the commission." He and Link will transmit the· results of the hearings to the commission, and to the President and Congress along with 'the commission report due this Summer.

Acclamations, Silences, M·editation AU Have Importance in New Rite "There's time for song; there's a time for silence; there's a time fOf acclamation; there's a time for listening," could well describe the "new Mass".

Participation is the goal; understanding the threshold. There is no watching while someone else does his part but a prayerful joining of one llnathp-r's proner actions. All participate iri the whole.

Silence The wide use of meditation periods is possibly the new and precious gem for the "new Mass". It may be difficult at the beginning and it may seem to lengthen the Ma.ss unnecessarily but its worth far exceeds any difficulty.

Action for action sake produces nervousness and fatigue.

H"mns could be sung; body post"re~ em tid chanp'e nearly mechanicallv. But Mass to pray the Lord's way. It may be His way but it must also be our prayer as individuals. .

Penitential Rite: The private examination of conscience can do much for our whole participation and bring us to really mean the penitential rite as a whole.

It is a true preparation for a true sacrifice and there must also be a· true contribution. It 'is not just a rite but a· facing of facts: "here we are-sinners."

The· Collect: .lust before the priest recites the prayer aloud, the people "spend some moments in silence so they may realize that they are in God's presence and may make their petitions,'~ (#32).

Readin~s: The Scripture readin~s could well be followed by a brief period of silence so that each one could apply the message to his own life ·:before :quickly launching' OUt into th:Ei' 'gradu'al" or song. "At the conclUSion of a reading lor homily, each' one meditates briefly on what he has heard," (#23).

Prayer of Faithful: One response (or all) may be private and in silence so that each may again request their most intimate and private needs. (#47).

Post-Commull1ion: This period of meditative silence so that man "praises God in his heart and prays (#23)" may be the more uncomfortable for. the end of Mass is so close.

At each time, it is not true silence that is expected but a period of active, fervent private prayer. It will be difficult to achieve. But without it, the Mass will soon degenerate into another series of mechanical prayers and/or actions with meaning only for the more studious or those who pray privately no matter what is going on.

Acclamations A burst of joy; an explosion of praise at times should be the response to some particular. truth or guesture addressed to the people. These "constitute the external sign of the communal celebration and are .also the . means of greater communication between priest and people. (#15).

Kyrie: "This acclamation, which praises the Lord and implores his mercy, is ordinarily made by all, i.e., with parts for the people and for the choir or cantor. Each acclamation is normally made twice, but, because of the nature of the language, the music, or other circumstances, the number may be greater or a short verse (trope) may be inserted. (#30)," Readin~s: Response-acclamations follow the readings from Scripture and surround the Gospel. Each are addressed to Christ and gratefully acknowledge the

great gift of a Word from God. Presentation of Gifts: Again in a response, the people joyfully see their "work of human hands" accepted for the altar and about to become their spiritual food.

Preface: The introductory prayers and Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy) now begin the most solemn prayer of the Mass. Intentions are here formed; a burning desire to have Christ more visibly present should burst into seconding the priest's great prayer of thanks (Preface).

Consecration: The acclamation that follows the words of the institution should put beyond any doubt a Christian's faith in the mystery enfolding before his very eyes.

Our Father: Th.e Lord's petitions should be ours, especially before we share His meal. So we recite His Prayer; we ask His deliverance; we acclaim Him with the ancient doxology of near apostolic times "For the Kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever," The difference between acclamations, responses, meditation must be preserved if the goals of the parish Mass are to bring about the unity of the community and the sanctity of the individual.

It is not enough for one good thing to succeed another good thing. The nature and the prayer or gesture must be weighed.

Options are not just for margins but place a great responsibility on the one(s) who are to decide the adeQuate celebration for that particular place at that particular time.

Particular meaning given.

Greater solemnitv will not be decided by the number of priests present (or acting like deacons or subdeacons) by a greater involvement by all present.

The "new' Mass" is truly a celebration, an encounter, each time it is offered. It can never be an ordinary thing.

Clergy Meeting Has anterracia~ Theme CHICAGO (NC) - "The White Man in the Black Community" will be the theme of a conference to be held here March 31April 2 by a group of priests and nuns who specialize in inner-city work.

Sponsoring the event is the six-year-old Catholic Clergy Conference on the Interracial Apostolate. This year for the first time the annual meeting will be re~ional rather than national.

The Midwest conference will be held at the University of Chicago's Center for Continuing Education.

The program will include panels on neighborhood youth gangs, black power in Catholic parishes, police-community relations and the role of white clergymen in. black communities.

Among the speakers will be representatives of the Chicago police department and the AfroAmerican Patrolman's League, a militant caucus within the department. Other panelists will include black priests who have been involved in black power struggles within the Church, such as Fathers Rollins Lambert and George Clements.

French Prelates Issue Statement On Celiba.cy PARIS (NC)-The bishops of the western region of France have joined the bish~ ops of the ,northern and' southern regions in supporting obligatory celibacy.

The western bishops said that they will ordain future priests only from among those who "are disposed to this total gift of consecrated celibacy" and that those who have already been relieved of their commitment to celibacy will not be reinstated "in the exercise of their priestly minlstry," In explaining the motives for their position the bishops said: "To be with men does not mean being like them in everything.

That goes for all Christians, lay persons,Religious, priests," Earlier the bishops of the northern and southern regions of France had also expressed support for obligatory celibacy for priests, as did Francois Cardinal Marty of Paris, president 'of the French Bishops' Conference, in a statement issued after consultation with the board of the permanent council of the conference.

Confamination of Faith Another statement on celibacy came from Archbishop Andre Pailler of Rouen, who in a sermon denounced "the veritable bludgeoning of opinion" on the celibacy issue.

Archbishop Pailler said he thinks "the present crisis comes fundamentally from the contamination of our faith by human elements."

Although the Christian must live in the world and listen to its appeals and try to answer them, ':the world cannot be his norm nor can the spirit of the world become the spirit of Christianity," the archbishop added.

Some groups in France, however, have objected to continuing mandatory celibacy.

A group in northern France protested against the statement of the bishops of that region and asked that in the future there be a dialogue with Catholics who hold various opinions before any statement is issued.

NEW YORK (NC) - Persons, not programs, will be in the limelight now that the National Catholic Office for Radio and Television has established a new group of broadcast industry awards.

The Catholic office distinguished service awards aim to honor "the professionals of the industry whose personal activity exemplifies service to the American public," Charles Reilly, executive director, said.

He emphasized that the awards' will be a means of un· derlining the contribution of in.dividuals in the broadcasting in· dustry to the betterment of mankind.

"There are numerous professional associations, educational institutions, and private organizations bestowing awards on radio and television programs," Reilly noted.

"Many of these contribute in meaningful fashion to better broadcasting," he said. "Our perspective on recognition, however, is different. We seek to honor men and women as individuals their professional achievements, and their 'civic religious involvements," The 1970 citations will be presented in Chicago April 5 at the annual convention of the National Association of Broaclcasters.

Editor Says Newspapers Suppressed - Abortioll1 Bill News SEATTLE (NC) - With a charge that they have "deliberately" suppressed news about opposition to a liberalized abortion measure, the Catholic newspaper here has locked horns with the city's two daily papers, the Hearst-owned Post-Intelligencer and the independently owned Times.

The liberalized abortion measure cleared both houses of the Washington state legislature during a special session. The legislation now goes on the ballot for a referendum in the November election.

Father James H. Gandrau, editor of the Catholic Northwest Progress, archdiocesan newspaper, accused the two daily papers of violating the code of objective reporting in their news columns.

He also complained that the Catholic community was, de'prived of getting an accurate view of the abortion-on-demand bill proceedings because reporters for the Catholic paper were denied press credentials to cover the hearings.

Freedom of Press Refusal of press credentials, he said, denied access to the news and "the people's right to know" what transpired. Father Grandrau said this matter has been referred to attorneys for possible court action to determine whether a violation of the "freed.om of the press" was involved.

"We are beginning to feel that perhaps Vice-President Spiro Agnew is right: there does seem to be a managed press, in western Washington, at least," Father Gandrau declared.

During debate on the abortion bill, members of the Senate

Rules Commmittee voting against the bill were identified in the Post-Intelligencer as "Catholics."

Questioned as to why the legislators were not allowed religious anonymity in a matter that was legal, sociological, and economic and not exclusively religious, a. spokesman on the Post-Intelligencer city desk told NC News Service: "We are for it (the liberal abortion bill) and we're going to support it," The spokesman added that the paper has published stories dealing with both sides of the controversy. . Denicl of Rights Father Gandrau said the papers' efforts to suppress opposition to the bill even extended to information submitted by readers, pointing out there was "another side" to the issue.

Father Gandrau said he was told by a woman editor of the Times that she "found such material unsuitable for publication" in the paper. The paper had no further statement when queried by NC News Service.

The priest-editor charged the so..called public opinion "forums" and man-on-the-street interviews printed by the papers operated on a highly selective basis, printing largely only those interviews and opinions that conformed with the abortion-on-demand policy of the publications.

"An editorial position is legitimate journalism," Father Gandrau said. "It is in the best tradition of the American press. But the deliberate slanting of the news and the deprivation of the people's 'right to know' is more than malicious; it is a denial of the very rights these papers so piously pledge themselves to uphold,"

Harmony Plea Director of Rural Life Cautions Against Violence to Balance in Nature SAN FRANCISCO (Nc;)-Man is exercis~ng his God-given dominion over nature "carelessly and avariciously," according to Msgr. Edward W. O'Rourke, executive director of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference.

"As a concsequence," he said, man "often does violence to the balance in nature. This injury and imbalance have reached such a stage that the very ability of man and other living organisms to survive is in jeopardy," Speaking before a soil stewardship inspirational meeting at' the 24th annual convention of the National Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts here, Msgr. O'Rourke said everyon~ must "resolve to live

and work in harmony with the rest of God's creation," "Let us be wise," he· admonished. "Let us use the intelligence God has given us to recognize the web of life and to sustain it. Let us be provident, not wasteful; let us be loving, not avaricious."

Msgr. O'Rourke pointed out that "when Almighty God gave man dominion over the earth, he placed into man's hands the survival of all earthly life. Let us not fail to recognize and dutifully to fulfill this grave responsibility,"

Criticizes Policy In Arms Race CLEVELAND (NC) - Retired Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen has . criticized strongly the United States policy of supplying arm!' to smaller nations. He was equally critical of the Soviet Union.

In an address here before 1,200 'persons, principally of' Lebanese descent, the retired bishop of Rochester, N. Y., said the U. S. and U.S.S.R., in the competition of supplying arms to smaller mltions, are blocking the road to world peace.

Spotlighting the currently critical Middle East situation, the archbishop compared it to the Spanish Civil War era in the 1930s, when the two power blocs, nazi Germany and fascist Italy, on one side, and the Soviet Union, on the other, rehearsed for World War II by 'engaging in Spain's internal problem.

The archbishop said it. is a much more serious situation today. He warned the U. S. and U.S.S.R. now may be igniting the ~ spark which could set off World War Ill. "I cannot see whyt the great poweJ:s of the world would make themselves the instrument; or the prophets, of what might b.e the last war," Archbishop Sheen said. . . "What, is going on is a rehearsal ,for an opening night that might be the last night," he added.

Be Again Backs Plan to Recruit Black Student,s

Educator Seeks U.$" Cooperatio~

BOSTON (NC) - The board of directors of Boston

College, a Jesuit university, has reaffirmed a $500,000 black student recruitment pro· gram commitment.

The board statement has been made in response to a list of demands submitted by a Black Students Forum.

The students' demands include a request for a all·black dormitory, an all-black students offcampus center, application of 40 rer cent of federal aid received by the university to minority programs and a 10 per cent increase in black enrollments annually.

Debt Notwithstanding The university board, noting that its Black Talent program is designed for economically underprivileged and educationally "high risk minority students," voiced support for the administration's policy of increasing the number of black students, faculty and staff.

The directors also endorsed a committee formed of black students faculty and administrators with the "responsibility for recommending. policy" to the college's vice-presWent "concerning the education and weifare of all black students.'~ .:rhe board approvec,l the university's commitment to the cur· rent Black Talent 'program, adding $125,000 annually for the next two years, until an annual expenditure of $500,000 oj university funds has been reached. ~Very Unhappy' The directors stressed the commitment has been apJ!>roved despite the current $3.2 million operating deficit.

A spokesman for the black students said his group would be "very unhappy" with the directors' statement because the board is "not really talking to our specific demands."

Father Francis X. Shea, S.J., university vice-president, in an earlier letter to Carl Lewis of the Black Student Forum de. plored the "breakdown in communications" during discussions on the issue. '

Expects Reaction From P'relates SAN ANTONIO (NC)- Officers of Padres, fledgling organization of Mexican-American priests, are optimistic that the National Conference of CathoIicBishops will respond favorably to a list of recommendations aimed at improving the plight of the Spanish-speaking.

Moreover, Father Ralph Ruiz, national chairman of Priests Associated ,for Religious, Educational and Social Rights, said he believes the U. S. bishops will recognize what he calls the need of the Mexican-American priests to assert their self-identity.

That recognition is vital, Father Ruiz said, because it will enable Mexican-American priests to h~lp the Spanish-speaking advance in the Church and society, following the principle of self-determination.

WASHINGTON (NC) - John Lindemans, secretary general of the Catholic International Education Office, sees a great potential for cooperation between U.S. Catholic educators and those in the rest of the world.

Visiting here recently from headquarters in Brussels, Lindemans said educational research would be one fruitful area for coperation. American educators have done ex~ensive work in the field, he said, and one of their concerns should be "how to make it available to the rest of the world."

He cited teaching machines as another example, pointing out that they are being promoted in Europe not by American educators, but by the companies which are manufacturing them.

Lindemans was in the United States to begin planning an April board meeting, slated to follow the National Catholic Educational Association's annual convention, which some 40 members of his organization will also attend.

The office, established in 1952, . is a federation of national and other Catholic educational organizations from 89 countries around the world. The National Catholic Education Association . and the Jesuit Education Association are members.

BOSTON (NC) - The Boston.

Archdiocesan Priests Senate has named a former Navy nurse to its newly formed Committee for the Selection of New Bishops.

Marie Knowles, believed to be the first American woman named to a bishops' selection committee, will serve with two other members of the 'laity and seven priests.

A Navy nurse for 23 years, Miss Knowles also served as a Papal Volunteer for Latin America and is now working in Boston's inner city.

Other laymen named to the committee are Judge James Lawton of Brockton' and John Mahoney. a Boston College English professor and a member of the Archdiocesan Commission for the Promotion of Parish Councils.

The three-month-old selection committee was established by a resolution of the priests senate with Richard Cardinal Cushing's approval. Originally designed as a 13-member unit, the committee's membership was reduced to 10 when Boston's three auxiliary .bishops withdrew after the initial organization had been completed.

Results Confidential A secret· referendum among priests of the archdiocese will be held by the committee to -gather nominations for new bishops and a successor for Cardinal Cushing who is expected to announce his retirement when he reaches his 75th birthday in August.

The results of the referendum will be held confidential and the final nominations will be submitted to Cardinal Cushing who is expected to make further ~ recommendations: to-,the \mti~an. ' .

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of fall River-Thurs., Feb. 26, 1970

Rite Seeks to Be Meaningful Continued from Page One The author of the editorial had no intention of giving praise to Pope John and the reforms of Vatican II. Yet I could not help but think how apt was his choice of the word-catastrophe.

If one could sum up the whole of Vatican II in one word, that word, catastrophe would suffice.

In its most literal sense, it means an overturning, a reversal. It is something with which we,. as Christians live with daily. .Priests' RessmnslbiHty Not too many years ago, the works of J.R.R. Tolkien were household phrases in homes all over the land. High schoolers and sophisticated collegians eagerly devoured "The Lord Of The Rings," and his other equally appealing novels. What many do not realize is that Professor Tolkien is also a tolerable theologian. He makes reference to the present reforms in the church as "a catastrophe of joy," He goes on to state that "the resurrection, the Incarnation, the Mass-these are catastrophes in the most literal sense," God, by becoming one of us, by sharing our humanity, and giving us His Body and Blood, through the memorial of the Mass, has in the words of Teilhard de Chardin, given us an "unexpected enlargement."

As priests, God has summoned us to a unique responsibility. He has entrusted us with the ultimate task of making this earth more human as well ,as more Godlike. To shirk this duty would be disloyal both to our vocation and to God. Reforms Not Changes The liturgical reforms - they are not changes-which Vatican II calls for are valid, sensible means to attain this "unexpected enlargement." They help bring God to man and man to' 'God..."\" I think that you will agree with me that today, for the most part, Catholics have lost the dynamic and vital meaning of the Church. They belong to the Church. They go to Church. But manv fail to realize that they ARE the Church.

Most Catholics believe the tenets of the faith. As far as basics go, they are quite pleased.

They believe in the Trinity, the Incarnation, in transubstantiation, and the like. It is the trappings of the Faith that is turning them off.

In an attempt to reach a meaningful Mass or Liturgy, many priests have designed and made amplifications of what one can only hope are authentic and dogmatically allowed variations, and extension of the Mass.

Guidelines or Chaos These run the gamut from total Bible sessions, to Jazz and rock Masses, to the more emotionally clad vehicles of expression. I certainly do not condemn liturgical experimentations. We need this type f thing, within reason. I am not condemning Latin Masses. All of us should realize, however, that these Masses please some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

Guidelines have to be set up, or else chaos results. If allowed to run its own way, the Mass could become a minstrel show, a type of cocktail party, a troupe of dancers, the litany is inexhaustible.

To be extremely subjective, I would find the Mass "meaningful" if a bit of Malcom Boyd or T.S. Eliot could be injected into the readings at Mass.

It would be thrilling to compare the misery of some of the contemporary , cynics with the glowing promises of Christianity.

Imagine comparing Albert Camus

with St. Paul; or Andre Gide with St. Luke; or Jean Paul Sartre with St. James. That would be fine for me. But what of the milkman, the taxi driver, the stenographer, the laborer, the lawyer - they could care less about these comparisons.

Am I going to inflict my meaningfulness on them? Certainly not. In the language of the schoolmen - en problema, we have a problem.

Meaningful to All We have to cater to all of the people, all of the time. The Mass has to be meaningful for the college professor as well as for the garbage man. We all know this.

And we all want to make the Mass a reality in the lives of all our people. These new reforms, if properly done, with care, preparation, and devotion, can be meaningful for all.

The reform will have to come from us. We are going to have to rid ourselves of the belief that meaningfulness must be inspired by exteriors-guitars and bongo drums, and that an outside supply of something or other should inject itself into us and boost our emotions and consequently our spirituality.

I can't see much meaningfulness in consecrating Chianti and Parker House rolls. Catholicism works on the premise that religion is a challenge. Hope is a challenge. Charity is too. Why can't prayer -and a rapport with Christ through these new reforms be a challenge?

Essentials Same These new liturgical reforms herald a new epoch in the life of the Church. We have to impress on our people that the reforms are just that - REFORMS. They are a natural development of years of study.

Nothing . essential has been . .v altered. . .,.

The work of reforming the Mass is in 'effect a respectful and a loving restoration of gestures, acts, and prayer foqnulas which were and have been suppressed over· the centuries.

Under the new reforms, Mass now begins with a rite of penance. Gone are the prayers at the foot of the altar. The dialogue, often mumbled by sheer rote by the celebrant and sometimes inarticulate server, has been replaced.

Now, the whole Christian comr-lunity takes part in a "purification of spirit" before beginning to celebrate the tremendous &nd literally awful mystery of. the Eucharist. The entire Christian community publicly acknowledges its guilt ancJ its sin, and seeks pardon (not sacramentally of course) from God. The Scripture readings have now been revised to include portions from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and further readings from the evangelists.

Over the course of years, our people will now be able to hear and meditate on more of God's Word.

Better and more meaningful translations of the Gloria and Creed have been prepared.

Presentation of Gifts The Offertory will present a more visual amplification. It is strongly recommended that the, bread and wine used at Mass, be brought to the altar of sacrifice by the faithful. Their participation once again is emphasized.

This simole rite dates back to the very beginnings of Christianity itself.

If you were to brush up on your Greek, and read in the 9th and 10th chapters of the DIDACHE, you would already hear the sound of the revised version of the ordo missae « 0) " Turn to Page Eighteen

FArHIE~

MA.NNING, M.M.

Appoint Rector Of Rome College .VATICAN CITY (NC)-Father John W. Manning, a Maryknoll Missioner from Boston, has been named rector of Rome's Pontifical Urban Theological College de Propaganda Fide.

Fath~r ' Manning; 43, will assume charge of this. residence for theological students from missionary countries on July 1.

For the past 13 years he has been an official of the Congreg~­ tion for the Evangelization 'of Peoples, which directs the Church's worldwide missionary effort. For two years before that, while earning a doctorate in canon law at the pontifical University of St. Thomas, he acted as private secretary to the then' prefect of that congregation, the late Pietro Cardinal Fumasoni Biondi. . He has since acted as secretary to the present prefect, Pietro Cardinal Agagianian, and has made working trips through most of the Church's mission territories.

Father Manning attended Boston Latin School until his entry into Maryknoll minor seminary in Clark's Summit, Pa., in 1943.

He was ordained in June, 1953.

Says Aid. Best Hope For School Survival BOSTON (NC) - Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston said here that tax support:ed state aid is virtually the only hope for survival of the Catholic parochial school system.

"We hope that some way will be found to.receive public assistance, at least for those services that our schools provide that are equivalent to the services of the public school," the Cardinal said.

"We ask this only because we need it for survival at this time; we have not sought it formerly.

We feel, all the same, that we are asking for something which all citizens should feel justly belongs to our youngsters," he added.

It was the cardinal's first public statement spelling out the problems facing Cathdlic schools in the Boston archdiocese and explaining the continuing series of announcements about closings of parish schools.

He quoted the President as having stated earlier that the activities of the government would not "be allowed to impair the absolute right of all individuals to have such matters of conscience respected by public authorities."

Attacking the Finch proposal, the priest' added: "Without in any way showing that such plan will in fact improve environment conditions in our country, he suggests that the American people embark on this new social experiment."

'Highly Unfortunate' Father McHugh also scored the HEW record under Finch, charging it "leaves much to be desired" in matters of racial equality, improved medical care and quality education.

The division director asserted: "It . is highly unfortunate for the American people that Mr. Finch's primary solution to our problems of health, education and welfare is dependent on decreasing the size of population."

Opinionated Author Vie~s Americans Living Albroadl 1

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

i

Ludovic Kennedy (not a relative) is an English journalist who traveled around the world to obseIve and rJport on Americans living abroad. He records his experl'ence under the title Very Lovely People (Simon and Sch~ster, 630 Fifth Ave., New York, ; N.Y., 10020. $7.95), an exMuch t~at Americims :have pression borrowed from Lyn- made America mean abrqad l does , - . not please Mr. Kennedy.: For don B.

ful that Mr. Kennedy uses it in precisely the same sense as did Mr. Johnson.

Most of us are aware that more Americans are now living in m. 0 r e foreign countries than has ever before been the case.

Perhaps we have wondered what imp act they were having on these other lands, and what impact their new surroundings were having on them.

Mr. Kennedy offers glimpses of the extE:JIt of the scattering of Americans across. the globe, and of its effect.

He begins with Latin America, telling of Peace Corps youngsters I'n Colombia, American businessmen in Brazil, missionaries among the Indians of Paraguay. He goes on to Africa, meeting more Peace Corps per- sonnel in Nigeria. and Voice of America personnel in Liberia.

In Scotland, he is the houseguest of a wealthy American woman who is living like a member of the landed gentry, more British than the British. In Lon- don, he looks on as American industrialists interview Englishmen interested in jobs here.

Talks with Soldiers American embassy people engage his attentio,n in- Paris, while in Germany it is American so Idiers. Moving on to Athens, he marvels at the peculiar policies of the United States Information Service, and is invited to be the guest of our Navy on a visit to Istanbul. Jerusalem finds, him joining a group, of American tourist-pilgrims.

In Saudi Arabia he shares the rather cIoisetered existence of Americans working for hamco, the combine which handles the vast oil treasure of that country, while in Iran he goes to a dull consular outpost at Tabriz.

Proceeding to India, he attends a seminar which professors from American universities are conducting to acquaint Indian university people with the ways of American life. Contrasting with India is Thailand, where he learn:; how one American, set up a fabulously successful business using native artisans; He is astounded by the luxurious, 'unwarlike , atmosphere of Saigon, and the low regard in which Americans, are held. He goes into battle areas, talks with soldiers, correspondents, and a thoughtful man working for the Rand Corporation.

Ubiquity of Hot Dogs On Taiwan, he discovers that there is an elaborate project, financed and conducted by Americans doing research in diseases common in Asia, and seeking means of controlling ,and preventing these.

His last stop is Tokyo, whete he interviews Maryknoll missionaries, an American woman who ,is a Zen priestess, and an American expatriate married to a Japanese woman.

Cola, hamburgers, hot tlogs.

Everywhere he went, he i was pained by the radio programs of our Armed Forces Network.

i He was favorably impressed by members of the Peace, Corps whom he met. They struck i him as intelligent and generous, i and he did his, best to discredit libels about them, which he encountered in more than one place.

Singop@W'e fOlSSeS Aborti@i'j laws SINGAPORE (NC)-Acting in the face of Catholic and Moslem opposition, S'ingapore's parliament has passed two laws authorizing abortions and sterilizations for residents of the city.

Both laws, passed by a 32-15 majority of the legislature, estabIish review boards to pass on the merits of individua) cases: Abortions will be authorized if the pregnancy constitutes serious danger to the health of the woman, if it resulted from rape, _ it, there is. a s,ubstantial-risk of 'deformity in' the child, or if the environment is hostile to the child's development.

AU-Winning Hoop Combine Case High of Swansea, with a perfect record, looms as the area's most serious challenger in this year's Eastern Massachusetts Tech basketball tournament. The Narragansett champions, who far outdistanced their league rivals . easily snatching the pennant, are the only club within the Tech title. The Hilltoppers last diocesan territorial limits won in 1966 for their fifth Class A championship. with an all-winning record Harwich, Cape and Island going into the elimination competition.

The Cardinals will be joined by five other area teams in the Class C competition who will be trying to wrestle the title away from defending champion Holy Family High of New Bedford.

Undefeated Lynn Trade (19-0) is the consensus choice to win the C trophy. . The Bristol County loop will send three representatives to compete for Class A honors, but none are considered favorites by Greater Boston prognosticators.

The experts have installed. defending champion Catholic Memorial as a likely repeater in the large school bracket. Boston English, Somerville and Lowell are being mentioned as possibil· lties.

The only reference to Bristol County 'champion Durfee' High of Fall River is that the Hilltoppers are appearing for the 25th time in 26 years.

Coach Tom Karam's club has fair size, good shooters, plays excellent defense and wants to win. It is this last element that goes a long way in tournament. competition and, conceivably, could bring Fall River another

League champion, Martha's Vineyard and Nauset will be among 20 hopefuls in the D bracket.

None have ever won a state title.

Perhaps the most surprising qualifier from the area is Bishop Connolly High of Fall River which will join Narry counterparts Case and Holy Family in the battle for C honors. The Jack Curry coached diocesans Competed in the Narry this season for the first time, although, last year, most of the boys played in the lea~ue either on the Connol~ Iy or Msgr. Prevost teams.

Won All-Star Honors in Baseball, Basketball

By Luke Sims Over the years, Fall River has been a breeding place for outstanding athletes. Bob DempseY,·the former Durfee High and present University of Massachusetts standout is one of the better ones.

A junior at the Amherst institute, Dempsey is a member of the Redman's outstanding basketball team and one of the main links in the team's strong backcourt.

Standing only 6-0, the Fall River native isn't scoring at a prolific pace but his key defensive work and leadership ability have helped pave the way to a successful season.

Bob attracted the spotlight during his junior year at Durfee when he helped spark the HiIltoppers to a Bristol County League championship and into the annual Tech Tournament at Boston Garden.

The following year, as a senior, he repeated the format and led Durfee to a BCL title, Class A Tech championship and the State Championship crown. In his final two years, the little backliner earned enough awards to fill a trophy room.

All-Around Athlete He was a first team all-star pick on both the Record Ameriican-Sunday Advertiser and Boston. Globe teams as a senior and won all-star honors on the Fall River Herald News, New Bedford Standard-Times and Taunton Gazette, both years.

As a sophomore at UMass, he was a member of the Yankee Conference championship team.

An outstanding all-around athlete, the hardwood sport, despite the several awards it has reaped, played second fiddle to baseball.

For two years running, Dempsey won a berth on the RecordAmerican Sunday Advertiser and Red Sox· Sandlot Tournament team.

In August, 1965, he was one of 16 New England youths selected to playa New York team in. a sandlot game at Shea Stadium in New York. He was the first. Fall River athlete to play in such a game.

Bob earned the trip following two days of games at Fenway Park. He made a hit with the spectators as well as with colmmmUllltlIItlIlUlmnmllllm",mIllIlIlII111111l1tl1lIllmlUIIUlIlllllmlllltlfllIIllIlUUllIlIl

championships was not disappointed by his poolmen.

The Warriors used their depth to clinch their first state title by edging Leominster 147Y2 to 134.

Defending champion Cambridge Latin finished third.

Seekonk has come a long way this season and can be extremely proud of their accomplishments.

Now that it has the regional title, the next goal is the state title and perhaps the New England championship.
