Just about every diocese the w.orld over has emphasised the need of participation in the liturgy according to the word and spirit of the Vatican Council's Decree and the January 25th directive of Pope Paul VI.

Seeks Help to Halt Decline
In Number of Conversions
NOTRE DAME (NC)-Father John A. O'Brien has called for a militant laity in the United States to reverse the "disturbing" decline in the number of conversions to the Catholic Church. The author and convert-maker said in an interview here that "The greatest challenge con conversions have declined in fronting the Church today is the America in recent years, fall challenge to find ways of har ing' from 46,212 in 1959 to nessing the good will, generosity in 1962. He said the decrease resulted from the growing ecumenical movement and from the apathy of most lay Catholics. "The chief reason for the de cline," said Father O'Brien, "would seem to be a let-up in convert-making activity that came in the wake of the an nouncement of the convening of the Second Vatican Council and the ensuring discussion on ac hieving Christian upity. "This seems to have created the impression that convert making is somewhat out of style and might impair the atmo sphere necessary for the ecu menical movement." Asks Renewed Zeal However, Father O'Brien said the convert apostolate and the ecumenical movement should go "hand in hand." "To suspend convert work in the hope that entire denomina tions will soon be returning to the Catholic Church is both im practical and unwise. When Christian reunion will take place, only God knows; but a9 far as we can see, it would seem to be in the far distance, per
haps a thousand years away. "While working and praying for such a reunion, we must strive with renewed zeal and vigor to bring churchless and non-church-going people into the fold of Christ." Father O'Brien further laid the blame for the decline in conversions on the apathy of Catholic lay people. He said statistics have shown that only Z8 per cent of them have at tempted to win a convert, as compared with 28 per cent of them have attempted to win a convert, as compared with 59 per cent of the Protestant laity. Greatest Challenge "The ordinary Catholic seems to feel that he should not intrude, into the domain of the priest by 'talking religion' to non-Catho lics," said Father O'Brien, but added that it is "physically im possible for a small number of priests to reach the millions out side the fold." "The greatest and indeed the most tragic loss that the Church is suffering - not only in the United States but in virtually every country - is that which stems from the failure to utilize the good will and missionary zeal of her 550 million lay mem bers to win all men for the faith of Christ. 125,670
11 Parishe~ SUDDort New Junior High BATON ROUGE (NC) - A unique junior high school, sup ported and governed b~ 11 sur rounding parishes, was dedicated here Tuesday by,~Bishop Robert E. Tracy of Baton Rouge. The Redemptorist Junior High School will have 663 students at. tend the seventh, eighth and ninth grades after finishing grade six at parish grammar schools. The parishes, which helped pay for the construction of the new school, serve as its board of directors. The National Catholic Educa tion Association in Washington, D. C., said the Louisiana school is the only one of its kind in the nation. Besides its unique organ izational structure, the students receive the benefits of depart mentalized instruction by ita own staff of teachers.,
and latent missionary zeal of her laity to the task of winning the whole human race for Christ." 75 Million Churchless Father O'Brien said the United States is "one of the largest mission fields in the world." He said he disagrees with a "live and let live" attitude that would, discourage proselytizing in a m( tion where so many religions and creeds live side-by-side. "There is an important distinc tion between proselytizing and evangelizing," he said. "A study made by the National Council of Churches in the U.S.A. disclosed that only 63.4 per cent of the, population claim an affiliation with some religious organiza tion. "This means that there are more than 75 million churchless people in this country who have not yet received the glad tidings of the Gospel of Christ. To brings that Gospel to them is not to proseytize but to evange lize."

Urge Pre~ident To Let Bracero Progra'm ,Die WASHINGTON (NC) Two Catholic social action leaders have urged President Johnson to let the Mexican farm labor program die as scheduled at the end of this year. Further extension of the pro gram, under which Mexican workers called braceros are im ported to work on U.

Saturday Pupils Crowd Canadian School EDMONTON (NC) - For 800 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada stu dents, reading, writing, and 'rithmetic don't end with the Friday afternoon bell. For them Saturday morning is not for sleeping in. It is ~ classes as usual. And they pay to attend school instead of gathering around the soda fountain. An experiment begun two years ago has become a resound_ ing success at St. Joseph's Hi!:h School, which is filled to capac ity each Saturday with 40 teach ers and students who want :to

catch up on regular class work. Enthusiasm Half of the students attending
the 15"week course come from
city public schools, the others are from the separate schools, mostly Catholic. The teachers, paid for their extra hours of work, also are drawn from the two systems. Some are so enthu siastic about tbe progress shown by the students that they say they would donate the time if there were no other way. The project is self-supporting the 50 cents per hour paid by
each student is used to pay teachers, janitors' wages, and all other costs. Basic Subjects The bulk of the students are studying the regular basic bigh school subjects. The program snowballed this year, witb four times the num ber of students who attended last year, now foregoing Satur day morning relaxation. Emphasis is placed on reme dial reading which will give tbe students belp in all of the reg ular class subjects.

LIMA (NC)-Two centers of higher studies for nuns in Latin Ameri~a will open this year in Peru under tiohe direction of two communities of American Sisters. The Franciscan Sisters of Rochester, Minn. will open the Institute Regina Mundi here. It will function in conjunction with the Catholic University of Lima and will follow its stand ards on admission, number of class hours, basic curriculum and examinations. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet of St. Louis will open the Institute of Higher Studies for Religious in Arequipa in coL laboration with Santa Maria University, the first American university in Peru. It is run by the Marianist Fathers from St. Louis. Need Competence In Peru, as in most other Latin American countries, there are few opportunities for nuns to continue their education after entering the convent. The reli gious communities are too small to permit the formation of col leges individually, and up until now there has been no collective effort to do so. At the National Congress of Women Reiigious here, Arch bishop Romolo Carboni. Apos tolic Nuncio to Peru, praised the founding of the two centers of higher studies. He said they "will train our nuns to devote themselves effectively to all as pects of the apostolate, not oniy on behalf of children, but also on behalf of women." The Nuncio said that "unless a nun is professional and com petent in the work she does, she contributes little to the progress of the Church."

Each year a model Quebec farm family is selected for the honor. The first Lemire, Jean, was one of the earliest settlers of Canada. He was married at Que bec in 1663. Sixty-four years la~er Jean Francois Lemire, thIrd to carry the name of the pioneer settler, took up farming at La Baie du Febvre.

VATICAN CITY (NC) The Holy See has received for study from the Bishops of Spain the text of a pro posed law to grant more free dom to Protestants in that country. The Spanish' Hierarchy had discussed the bill, which appears to have the backing of the gov ernment, at their annual meeting in Madrid. The Bishops sent the bill here because the 1953 con cordat between the Holy' See and Spain includes provisions regarding the status of non Catholic religions.

Debate 'Private Coll.ege State Aid
HARRISBURG (NC)-The head of the University of Pittsburgh has offered to buy television time to debate a Johnstown leg islator on the question of state aid to private colleges and uni versities. The controversy began when Rep. Edward W. McNally of Cambria labeled the practice of state aid to private institutions of higher learning "a mounting cancer * * * a legalized give away." Chancellor Edward H.

The statement of the predom inantly Protestant and Orthodox body said that a new period has begun in the history of the ecumenical movement in which nearly all churches recognize the urgency and. are engaging actively in the pursuit of Chris tian unity.

At present, Protestants In Spain have only limited reli gious freedom. For example, they are not allowed ~o worship in public. The 1953 concordat states that "the Catholic Apostolic Roman religion will continue to be the sole religion of the Spanish Da tion." It also declares that "the provisions of Article 6 of the Spanish Charter will remain in force." That article provides that "the profession and practice of the Catholic religion, which is that of the Spanish state, shall enjoy official protection. None shall be molested for their re ligious beliefs or the private practice of their worship. No other ceremonies or external demonstrations than those of the Catholic religion shall be per mitted."

Pray With Hilh
Collegians and Convictions
Much attention is usually focused on campus situations that reveal a departure from or a breakdown in morai standards among the collegians of the pre~ent day. Such stories make news and occasion articles and talks, both pro and con, On the college student and morality. Unfortunately, not as much attention is given to the eollege students who are making an honest search to dis cover truth and especially the truth of religion and the moral values that religion supports. Billy Graham is finding a sympathetic hearing among the students of Harvard and while he may not have them "hitting the sawdust trail" he sees in them young men and women ready to listen and with an appetite for the things of God. The student government of Stanford University has only recently passed a resolution asking for a change in policy that would permit all religious faiths to hold services on campus. The university board of trustees is thus faced with the request for a "relevant, varied and challenging religious program to better meet the needs of the Stanford community." The students are thinking, then, and while the antics and the more serious lapses of some are still being written up, there is a large group expressing dissatisfaction with the content of education and looking to religion to supply the unfulfilled needs they experience within themselves. It may well be that many of these are not acting as they should, but the fact that-they are looking for standards is a good beginning. For morality can be built only on con victions, and the students are searching for these convic tions and expect religion to supply them. Then it will be the duty of the collegians to accept the fact that truth does have consequences, that once they see the truth they must be men and women of integrity and follow it. This will mean discipline in their lives, it will mean morality, it will mean the acceptance of the fact that truth makes demands on not only the intellect but on the will because a way of living must follow the way of be lieving. Failure in 'this means hypocrisy or schizophrenia, and produces warped individuals who may be advanced in intellect but pigmies in the realm of the will.
Remarkable Alccomplishment One of the most remarkable accomplishments of Ameri , can Catholics is their assumption of leadership in the war fare against want and poverty in the' world. American Catholics are a notably humble lot - aware that they do not have the centuries of Christian culture found in some of the European countries; aware, also, that they may be striving to catch up to these in a deeper and more intellec tual appreciation of the Faith. But they yield to no one in heeding the admonitions of the works of mercy. The Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Wel fare Conference is the outlet of American Catholics for their charity throughout the world. The largest pr~vate voluntary overseas aid agency, it touched the needs and hearts of forty million persons in 1963 and made these aware that Christ still walked in the world. Catholic Relief Services conducted relief and technical assistance programs in seventy countries, and the goods that it shipped through the year were valued at more than one hundred and seventy-six million dollars. The emphasis of the CRS has been shifting from out and out charity after World War II to programs of technical assistance and self-help now. The gifts of American Catho lics to the Bishops' Relief Fund will guarantee the continua tion of such programs. ' At this time Catholics need not so much to be reminded to give to this Fund as to be congratulated on what they have accomplished for the cause of Christ and for His poor and needy through their kindness Of years past. . With the awareneS!l of this kind of a past, they will not be unmindful of present needs.

National Unity Leaders to Meet In Baltimore'
VATICAN CITY (NC-As a "news beat" the Vatican has become increasingly im portant from the standpoint of world interest· and concern. The extremely active role which recent popes have taken in the moral leadership not only of Catholics but also of the en tire world has commanded the attention of the world press. No news agency or paper with offices in Rome today can afford to be ignorant of the immense and complex reality which makes up the central administra tion offices of the Catholic Church, least of all the N.C.W.C. News Service and it9 news bureau in Rome. In' the 16 years in which the N.C.W.C. News Service has maintained a full bureau in Rome, both the workload and the staff have increased gradu ally. From a one-man operation in 1948 the Rome bureau today has g;own into an operation which includes two fulltime re porter-writers, a fulltime sec retary-translator and a third ~e porter-writer for the duration of the ecumenical council. The Rome bureau has as its task the coverage of the Vatican and the life of the Church in Italy. The term "coverage of the Vatican" is deceptively simple. Contrary to popular impression, the Vatican is not a single, solid, central organism with a central office to which the inquiring re porter can address any and all questions. Have Common Task In fact the Vatican, or to use the more exact term, the Holy See is a collection of many dif fer~nt offices with subsections, commissions and bureaus, each dealing with a special field of activity but linked by the com mon task of assisting the pope in his government of the Church throughout the world. The pope is naturally the single most important "news" subject. Daily the Rome bureau files stories on his activities, his speeches, audiences and plans. Translations of full texts of papal discourses have to be made and sent to the Washington headquarters of the News Ser vice. Covering the actions and de- eisions of the administrative of fices of the Holy See, usually called the Roman curia, makes up another major portion of the Rome bureau's work on a day to-day basis. A normal workday finds the staff of the Rome bureau in contact with half a ~ dozen Vatican offices, either in person or by telephone.

"Work," he added, "to make the world better spiritually as well as materially. Just as we do not want to be half-farmers, half-professors or half-engineers, we do not want to be half Christians." President Kayibanda, a Cath olic, was a member of the first Legion of Mary group formed in Rwanda, a central African na tion of 2.7 million people, in clUding a million Catholics.

BALTiMORE (NC)-The B a 1tim 0 r e archdiocese's Commission for Christian Unity will be host in June to a national workshop of ecumen ical leaders. Archbishop Lawrence J. She han of Baltimore said in his Lenten pastoral letter that the local commission will "make available to delegates of bishops throughout the country the ex periences which have thus far been gained in this vital work." Other dioceses in the U. S. which also have ecumenical commissions will collaborate with the local group, a 15-mem ber unit formed in January, 1962, and charged with advising the Archbishop in "the great spiritual enterprise of advanc ing Christian unity." For Mutual Approach Msgr. Joseph N. Nelligan, chairman of the commission and pastor of Immaculate -Concep tion church, T~wson, Md., said dates for the meeting and other details, such as participants, will be announced at a later date. In his pastoral letter, Arch bishop Shehan urged Catholics to "join with all who bear the Christian name in exploring all legitimate avenues of mutual ap proach" in the search' for reli-/ gious unity. The prelate warned, however, of haste and impatience, saying these could raise "new obstacles to ultimate reunion."

Helen' Haye~s and Students Act'
In Catholic University Drama
At U. of M,iami
By :Mary Tinley Daly Helen Hayes in New York, perhaps at the theater named in her honor, Helen Hayes starring in theaters all over the world, supported by casts of professional actors and aetresses - this has been the delight of playgoers for more than a generation. But to . see 'the diminutive ]i'irst Miss Hayes lived in one of the girls' dorms--"the new girl on Lady of the A mer i I~ a B the second floor" _ was affec-
Theater performing
on a university stage, with fellow players who are college students, t h: I s I s a n experience as heart - warming as it is unusual. It was a treat accorded the author of this column and the He ado f the H 0 use rather recently. Matter of fact, it was a double treat, for we viewed the opening night of "Good Morning, Miss Dove," with Miss Hayes playing the starring role at Catholic University in Washington, and again saw the performance on closing night, more than two weeks later. As might be expected, Miss Hayes was the smooth "old p~o" all the -way through-her VOIce, even in a whisper, reaching the farthest corner of' the theater; 'her slightest gesture, even a nod of the head, portraying the 1ilnbending little school teacher, Miss Dove. On opening night, her fellow actors and actresl;es, though good, showed signs of an understandable nervousness, a tension born of striving too hard. One got the impression it was almost as though Sandy Kowtax were to play with the home town baseball team, or Van Cli burn were to sit at the keyboard
at Miss Higgins' spring recUal. Actress Gives Two and half weeks later, the tempo and mood of that pHr formance had so changed we could hardly believe' the pE!r sonnel to be the same. ThElse student actors, members of Cath. olic University's famed speech and drama department, seemed not like actors at all. They were the citizens of Liberty Hill, U.S.A.-setting of the stage pla,y; they were Miss Dove's pupils; her doctor, her nurse - even Teddy Roosevelt! Star and stu dents worked together \ like a well-oiled machine. They turnted out a unified performance to the delight of a distinguishled Washington audience. Quite evidently, some of the ease, polish, and professional flair belonging to the theater's First Lady had rubbed off on her fellow actors. In turn, Miss Hayes admitted, in a short cur tain speech, her own enthusiasm for and dedication to the theatler had been rekindled by working with these, young . people, ,of whom 'she said; "~here are ItO, amateurish' liri)itations here." .: Speak,ing ~f her, co-actors 1to the press, Miss'· Hayes com- ~ men ted, "An -actor has' oblign- ' tions '00 his public .and thelle young people meet those obliga_ tions." .

Initiated last year, the Catholic Press Month roundup of who's who among Anchor reporters at the 12 Diocesan high schools is presented again this February. The story's the same-activities on the high school campuses-but the cast is different, and here's a rundown on the i3 teen-agers who supply the news.

Mass in the seminary chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Trust. The Pope took the oPPortunity to praise Marian devotion, en thusiastically. He said: . "The panoramic vision, of theology centered in the humble Handmaid of the Lord must' never disappear from 0\.\1' spir itual eyes * * * We must first honor the most holy Madonna before we invoke her. Our piety, the faithful pupil of tradi .tion, must preserve its full ob jective expression of worship and imitation before assuming the' subjective expression of praying for things for our com fort and benefit." In praying to Our Lady, the Pope said, Christians "celebrate in her the mysteries of the lAIrd and venerate her greatness and her privileges, praise her beauty, admire her goodness and' study her virtues and example." Personal Relationship The Pontiff said that the "modern development of Marian piety must for us follow this furrow which the most ancient and authoritative tradtion of the Church offers to the spirituality of the Christian people. "Thus by honoring Mary we arrive at the discovery of her superlative action in the econ omy of salvation and partic Ularly her action of interce,s aion * * * "Thus we arrive at the discov_ e-ry of a personal relationship between the Madonna and our individual souls, a relationship which each soul can develop with salutory effectiveness and which becomes a tribute of honor and love for Mary, the fount of all sorts' of graces fl)r souls."

NEW YORK (NC)-Pope Paul VI has praised the work of Catholic Relief Services National Catholic Welfare Conference as an "outstanding example of fraternal love" and urged all U. S. Catholics to sup port it. ' "We cherish the col)fident hope that the Catholics of th~ United States will continue steadfast cooperation with this most worthy cause," Pope Paul said in a message to the Bishops of the United States. , 'The Pope's message was sent in connection, with the 1964 Bishops' Relief Fund Appeal, which will be conducted nation- , wide from March 1 to 8. A min 'imum goal of $5 million" has been set for the cilmpaign, which is the chief financial sup port of CRS-NCWC. "' Catholic Relief Services, the U. S. Catholic overseas' relief agency, 'is the nation's largest , private volun'tary overseas re lief group. ' During 1963 it aided more than 40 million needy persons and conduCted relief and tech nical assistance programs in' 70 '. countries. The shipments of re lief goods totaled 900,000 tons and were valued at more than $176 million. World Is Vineyard Pope Paul's message reviewed the agency's development from the time of World War II.. when it sought to alleviate the "dev astating effects" of the conflict on "millions of peoples through out the world," to the present. He said the charity of the U. S. Bishop!', as shown in Cath olic Relief Services, "has ~ pelled you to make the world your vineyard." "We have noted with paternal interest that, as the years go on, your overseas program of relief, resettlement and assistance in the fields of health, education and welfare has shown a steady increase in most areas, demon strating that the poor and needy are always to be found," the Pope said.

Students to Spread Kennedy Memorial Pledge of Loyalty Originates at Seton Hall WASHINGTON (N C) - A "living memorial" to President Kennedy started in a Catholic university will be spread to Catholic and non-Catholic col leges throughout the nation. This was revealed here after a pledge of loyalty, cooperation and prayers, signed by some 6,000 students at Seton Hall Uni versity, South Orange, N.J., had been presented to President Johnson in a White House cere
mony. Aceept Toreh President Johnson thanked the students of Seton Hall and said they had set "an example that
I shall replace all hate ",ith tolerance, all rashness with patience, all bigotry with love, that I shall commit myself to the full implications of the brother hood of man under the father hood of God and thereby spread those ideals for which John Fitzgerald Kennedy gave his last full measure of devotion.' "I therefore pledge you, Mr. President, ,my loyalty, my co operation and my prayer." Speeial Meanin&' The ''living memorial" is the idea of Msgr. Anth~ny Connell of the Seton Hall Divinity' SChool, and was started shortlY' after President Kennedy's as sassination.

"The' problem of poverty" is a problem for all of us," 'the President said. "It is so wide spread that it is a Feder!ilprob lem;' but it is not just a Federal matter. It is also, and perhaPs fundamentally, a problem for each citizen, for each business and labor union, each charity and foundation, our churches and our clubs. "AU of these must be brought together in a total national drive for total national progress against the blight of poverty." The President said he had di rected all government depart ments and agencies to give maxi mum assistance to the program, but he directed Shriver to coor dinate and integrate the Federal effort with state and local gov-_ ernments and private persOns, groups and organizations.

''I, myself, could see a lot of useless, uncultivated land," the missionary wrote, "but you would think it pure gold because the owners would not sell it at any price. This was their' way of saying, 'Who are you? What do you want? 'We don't trust you and we don't want you.' "When I was at the, end of my rope,
God opened a door. Someone in the village,

The parents agreed that I must try. I stayed with him for three days, and the antibiotics performed a real miracle. After ibis, many sick were brought to my tent. The only limit to my activity was the small quantity of medicines. "Without saying anything, people understood that if I could get a piece of land, I would open' a dispensary and give them medicine which they had never had before.

Beneficial "Her very presence in the U.N. would, over the long run, have the somewhat beneficial effect of tempering her extrem ists; the more she is cut off from the rest of the world, the more she will be driven into extrem ism.

Construction of the chapel was started two years ago. A nation wide collection was taken up in Polish parishes in October, 1961, to defray the estimated $325,000 cost of the chapel. The collection realized $565,000. After, the chapel cost is de ducted, the balance will be used to help pay for the mosaic dome above the main altar in the shrine, which probably will be completed in 1965. Eight U. S. bishops of Polish descent formed the committee for the chapel. They issued the foll<>wing statement: "We are deeply appreciative of the privilege of sponsoring this beautiful chapel in the National Shrine in the nation's' capital, and gratefUl to the mem bers of the Hierarchy in the United States for their approval and support of our appeal for funds in their dioceses. "The generous response of the clergy and people is a tribute to their unity in the Faith and their devotion to the Blessed :Virgin Mary, patroness of the United St.otes of America and Queen of Poland."

"Racial justice will come when enough men and women are rightfully motivated to look upon the American Negroes as 'brothers having a common Father and a common destiny," the Archbishop said in the key note address at the Eastern Iowa C<>ngress on Religion and Rilce.

Hart's. bill (5.2510) would ex empt refugees from the' provi- . sion of U. S. immigration laws requiring aliens to leave the country and then reenter to be come eligible fur permanent
residence. .
Hart said this "expensive and laborious procedure" is hurting many refugees wlio are unable to comply with the requirement . and hence cannot practice their . skills or professions under state licensing laws that require them to have· permanent resident· status. He said this situation Is un- . necessarily "keeping ma.ny Cu- . bans on. relief rolls and inv'ari aus difficult circumstances." He cited the case of well qualified : Cubans who have beeh. unable . to obtain public school posts as . Spanish. teachers because of their immigration &tatus.

Friendship Good Beginning For Inter-Faiith Dialogue
IISUPER·RIGHTII
Meal Specials!
By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. We live in an age, thank heaven, where "the dialogue" between those of 'varying faiths is getting a lot of public attention. Much of this spirit is due to as lovable a man as ever graced the throne of Peter, John XXIII. But a great deal of it is also due to the naturally ebb and flow, in universal fee 1 i n g in the can loving God for His own sake and hearts of men. It's a ridi· their neighbor in God. All men culous thing for men to be of good will, in their thinking enemies' because of the way the3'

lous, in fact,
than enm i ty
based on any
thing else. Com
munication be
tween those of
different faiths
has always
been present, of
course - on a
personal level,
if not an offi -···cial one. After all, men dis
agree on all kinds of subjects,
and they do not, therefore, cease
to speak to each other. What a
petty, childish thing, therefore, to cease communication because of the way one seeks to attain his final goal, God. Obstacles in Marria~e Some sharper is immediately going to question the way thi:s .article seems to be goinl~. "We've always been told," he'll object, "that mixed marriages, between those of differing faiths, seldom succeed. What about that?" About that, Herman, we are not talking here and now. It .is quite true that no intelligent bookie will give you odds on a mixed marriage. But, just as i.n friendship between those of different races, so here the ques tion of marriage is not of pri mary importance. Many, many things can bc~ come obstacles in marrial:e which are no obstacle at all iin friendship. We do not marry aU our friends. And compatible friends could be most incom patible marriage partners indeed. Use Intellect. Will It is fortunate that we alee publicly reminded today of the importance of inter-faith dia logue, because there are always those few, Catholics too, who never seem to realize this. These are the same ones who seem to think that somehow or other they merited their faith, that it was given them as some sort of reward rather than as the unmeritable gift it is. Every rational person has to' .. Use his own intellect and will and follow his own convictions .of right and' wrong as a funda mental means to his goal. And he is going to lose his way if he follows any other norm. Beliefs in Common In this pursuit of our final goal, God, there are, moreover, many, many beliefs all men of good will have in common. All of them believe in God, and all of them understand, at least implicitly, that nothing else really counts except seeing to it that they get back '0 God and help others somehow to do t.he same. All men of good will are in terested, though this interest

- As long as your supposed ad versary is only a column il\ the paper, or an objecting letter, he is going to remain your adver sary. But once you know him he is no longer an adversary, 'but a friend with whom _you agree on many things while disagree ing on others. The author of this column has been blessed with many friends who are riot Catholics. And this difference never seemed to mat ter in our friendship. Non-Catholics Helped It was my privilege to work for some years with large groups of teen-agel's. Among their other activities was an annual "Rocky Mountain Youth Congress," which involved over 2000 teen-agel's from 25 states in convention for three days in Colorado. This meant that food, lodging, programs, transportation and everything else had to 00 worked out carefully and eco nomically. It meant that we had to have the cooperation of hun dreds of adults, many of them in key positions. Man y wonderful Catholics helped on this Congress, but a tremendous group of non-Cath olics also gave their time and energy to it generously and un stintingly. As Thin~s Should Be It would be hard to forget our meetings prior to the Congress, our discussions when the kiddies had been tucked in for the night. An official dialogue is won derful, because it gives backing to the more personal dialogue of friendship. Ultimately, though, friendship .is going to be the dialogue. Even in official circles, the dialogue seems to begin this. way-with friendship. And if we're all friends of God, that's only as things should be.

ST. LOUIS (NC) - "Organic Christian unity" should be the aim of the ecumenical JTlove ment, Episcopal Bishop George L. Cadigan of Missouri said here. Though some might settle for less, real union is needed, Bish op Cadigan told 600 people at tending an interfaith meeting at Maryville College. In seeking unity, he said, Christians "must be prepared to go where the Holy Spirit leads us. I think our concern about this must be not because unity is politic or economic, but in uttermost I' e a lit y because Almighty God wills for us to be one Body of the Lord Jesus Christ," he said.

'Needs Chu'rches, Priests Migration of 20,000 Catholics Presents Problem in Sweden NEW ORLEANS (N C) There is a shortage of churches as well as of priests in Sweden to care for thousands of Catho lics who have migrated there in recent years, the American-born Bishop of Stockholm said here. Bishop John E. Taylor, O.M.I., said there are only 19 Catholic parishes in all of Sweden, but only e i g h t or nine "real" churches, largest of which can accommodate only about 300 persons. Most areas are served by chapels set up in old buildings, he added. He estimated there are about 28,000 Catholics in Sweaen, which has a total population of more than 7,500,000. He said there are only about 8,000 Swedes who are Catholics, while the other 20,000 represent 19 dif ferent nationalities who have settled in Sweden since World War II. Sweden is strongly Lutheran but there is complete toleration of any religion, the Bishop said. Priests travel considerable dis tances to minister to Catholics but many of the people live too far from churches to attend ser vices, the Bishop said. Language Problem BiFhop Taylor, a native of St. Louis, was ordained to the Ob lates of Mary Immaculate priest hood in 1940. In 1958 he estab lished the first Catholic mission in Greenland since the Middle Ages, with headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was selected by Pope John XXIII to be Bishop of Stockholm and was consecrated in Stockholm's City

Hall on Sept. 21, 1\)62. Bishop Taylor said first gen eration immigrants in Sweden present a language problem for· priests, but their children usu ally attend Swedish schools and take readily to the Swedish language. The Swedish people are "very humanitarian" and have taken good care of the thousands of immigrants, the Bishop said. He added: "There is no poverty in Sweden. It's the perfect wel fare state."
Hart was an influential figure in the Knights since 1918 when he. was elected to the board of directors. In 1922, he was elected supreme advocate, a post he held until elected supreme-" knight in 1953. Throughout the society he was "Mr. Knights of Columbus" and during his )O-year reign as su preme knight, he directed a cam paign that brought membership over the one million mark, in creased insurance in force to more than one billion dollars and strongly backed the famed Catholic Advertis\ng Program in qig-circulation magazines and periodicals.

Questions ~ r.)m Readers • Evoke' An~"~"~~rs In Kind By Rt. Rev I\1s~r" John S. Kennedy The lecturer is almost always nervous at the beginning of the question period. This is so not because he fears he may not be able to answer his inquirers. If he is properly acquainted with his subject, he can handle most inquiries. And if one is put which book. It catches and con stumps him, he candidly says dirty veys with remarkable clarity he doesn't know the answer. and force the predicament of No, he is made nervous by many an adolescent, the loneli the distinct possibility that the question may indicate a failure on his part to have told the audience any thing, or to have held their attention, or to have stimulated them to think. What he dreads is the totally irrelevant ques ti-on which shows that the audience,
or some of it anyhow, couldn't
care less about what he has
been so earnestly saying.
Once when I was on the lec ture circuit, the first questi~n submitted (in writing) was thIS: "Why do you wear such a high collar? It makes you look like a minister, not a priest." You ~an imagine that my whole evenmg was spoiled. . As I look now at some of the questions from readers which have accumulated in the last few weeks, I recall the sensation of that occasion. But some others are much more to the point. At any rate, here's another round of Q's and A's. I hope you don't mind my say in&, that you review· an awful lot of books by Jesuits. Do you have some special prejudice in their favor? ' I should mind· only if you said that I reviewed a lot of awful books by Jesuits. The reason for the possible frequency of re yiews of books by Jesuits is that • good many Jesuits write books, and a good many of these books are of special importance. I am ,lot aware of any preju dice in favor of the Fathers of the Society of Jesus. But simply eonsider two of them recently deceased Father JobR LaFarge and Father Gustave Weigel. Both were distinguished special ists and pioneers; Father La. Farge in interracial justice and eharity (among other things), and Father Weigel in ecumenism and dialogue with non-Catholics. Each was, in his field, a tow eNg and articulate expert. What either had to say in print was of unusual value to the Catholic community. What do you think of Salin ~er?
I take it you refer to J. D., not Pierre. On that presumption, I answer as follows: He seems to me to have performed very unevenly. I would .judge The Catcher in the Rye a master piece of its kind. Some of the short stories are especially good. But he has become more and more mannered, more and more involved in a tenuous, ritualistic preciocity which drains his work of sap, makes it remote from life and gives us a set of pseudo mystical gymnastics rather than authentic fiction. I hope that you did not begin to bristle and mutter as soon as you read the favorable .reference to The Catcher in the Rye. It did not state, nor was it meant to suggest, that this is a book which anyone of any age may read without moral difficulty. . It may well pose such difficul ty for an individual reader, in which case he should avoid it or leave off reading it. But one cannot categorize it as just a

Pre"ate. Explains Liturgy Renewal .. ATLANTA (NC)-Renewal of the liturgy means that "you are asked to come out from behind the pillar and put away your rosary," the Archbishop of At lanta has written his people. "You are asked to join with the priest in a· community prayer and action," said Arch bishop Paul F. Hallinan of ·the Second Vatican Council's consti tution on the liturgy. The prelate, a member· of the liturgy commission at the Vat. ican council, made his comment in a Lenten pastoral read Sun day in all churches.

The prelate also wrote that changes in the Mass, chiefly the use of the people's language, will have a good effect on reli gious unity movements. "It will be indirect and grad ual," he wrote. "It will be new and strange to Protestants to hear the Scriptures used with more familiarity in Catholic services. The vernacular, in our case, English, can make them much more at home. Our new use of hymns; our common book, the Bible; and our mutual prayer, the Our Father, all be come bonds of union."

Clarks of Holy Redeemer Parish on Cape Shared Time Continued from Page One Whether the PI' inc i pie of Build Normal Life Despite Handicaps separation of Church and State By Russell Collinge Driving on Route 28, between Chatham and the intersection of Route 137, you are. bound to notice a service station and garage owned and operated by Lewis Clark, Senior. You are also bound to notice that there are a number of cars parked outside the garage waiting for attention. This will lead you to suspect that there must be a first class me chanic around-and you will be right. Lewis Clark, Junior, is considered one of the best mechanics on the Cape and he has an uncanny knack of finding the cause of trouble when others have given up. Lewis thinks he has an edge on other mechanics because he is deaf and dumb and relies on the delicate perception of vibra tion to tell a story that may be hidden by the usual noise. And when he finds the cause of trouble he can fix it-which is just what car owners like and want. So with a deserved and envi able reputat~on as a technician and mechanic, Lewis need never worry about his place in the community or about his ability to provide for his family. And he does have a family two boys, Christopher Andrew, 18 months, and David Andrew, 6 months,· and his wife Pauline who is also deaf and dumb. Lewis went to school in Ran dolph and to the Boston School for the Deaf. Pauline also at tended the Boston School for the Deaf in addition to St. Mary's Academy and Campbell's Busi ness School, artd was working as an IBM operator when she met and married Lewis in 1961. They now live in South Chat ham near the garage where Lewis works. Child Care It might seem that raising children would present a prob lem under these special circum stances--and Mrs. Clark, Senior, admits that when Christopher Andrew was brand new she made it a point to drop around every morning-bringing some little present as an excuse and to prevent any idea of "butting in." She found, however, that there was nothing whatever to worry about and that her daugh ter-in-law welcomed the visits. Now there is coffee tggether every morning and strong affec tion on both· sides. And truly, there is nothing to worry' about so far as taking care of the children is concerned. Neither Lewis nor Pauline could think of any special problem. Both lipread, and additionally have an alertness that compen sates for the lack of hearing and loow in on the children several times a night. And they could hear any loud crying. In addi tion, there is an obvious bond between the parents and chil dren-an intangible sensitivity and awareness. Should Christo pher be playing in, the house and out of sight, Lewis or Paul ine will suddenly go and make sure he is all right-an action comparable to that of the aver age parent who realizes things are too quiet and he'd better check up. David Andrew is still too young to show much interest in anything but food and sleep, but Christopher Andrew is a most charming person in his own right. He has a manner and manners often hoped for in a child but seldom achieved. He is not shy and not precocious. He is an' unspoiled, healthy, sunny, outgoing, happy child all that even a biased grand mother might describe-an out standing example of TLC. Atmosphere of Peace And TLC there is in plenty. The love of the parents shines in their eyes and shows in their actions and their home has an atmosphere of peace and tran quility that is a ~ving thing. It
is being eroded at the Federal level was another topic discussed at two separate sessions. Sch'ool desegregation had only one scheduled discussion period. It was explained by officials of the public school association that the various group meeting topics come at the suggestion of the ad ininistrators and there was no great demand for this t9pic. At Community Level As it has before, the AASA took a stand against use of funds raised by public taxation for ed ucation purposes for other than the public schools. "Funds raised by public taxa tion for educational purposes shall be reserved for public edu cation and administered by pub lic educational agencies. The traditional separation of Church and State shall be assured" said a resolution, adopted without de bate. During discussions on shared time it was agreed that the pro grams must be administered at a community level and there must be complete harmony be tween officials of both schools to make the plan suc,cessful. It was said there was no cited instance of where shared time had been tried and discarded as a failure.

CLARK FAMILY: Mrs. Clark holds David Andrew, while Christopher Andrew rests on his father's lap. ' may well be that God handi capped Lewis and Pauline to produce parents of distinction and nobility. The Clarks tried hard to think of some sort of problem in their everyday life but couldn't come up with one. There are no spe- ' cial gadgets around the house' except for a flashing light con nected to the door bell and, of coure, Christopher - who an nounces the arrival of all cars and visitors. Shopping is easy-if they can't understand the sales girl they have her speak slowly or write it down. They both drive (again, no problems) and on trips they ask the first policeman for di rections and have him write them out. They both bowl, Pauline with the Wishful Thinkers and Lewis with Bob's Texaco team. They also watch television as a sort of silent movie and they like to dance, picking up the rhythm through floor vibration. Both are strong and active Catholics, members of Holy Re deemer parish in Chatham. Lewis started serving Mass, in Randolph, at the age of 12 and now serves at Our Lady of Grace when necessary. He ushers dur ing the Summer at Our Lady of Grace in South Chatham and does a lot of small chores which takes the extra load off the pas tor Father John Brennan, who says he couldn't get along with out Lewis.
