Paying the salaries of the he theorized that increased costs, population shifts, and attitude growing number of-lay teachers changes about Catholic schools in Catholic schools-who last on the part of some parents have year Qutnumbered teaching Religious for the first time - has all contributed to the decline.

Dollar to Catholic Relief Multiplies Many Times} NEW YORK (NC) - During the year which ended June 30, 1971, Catholic Relief Services distributed goods and services worth $154,398,791.

They were enabled to do this by the Catholics of .the United States, who donated $5,696,079 during the annual CRS collection in mid-Lent.

Question: How do you manage to give $154 million worth of service with a coilection box total of only five and a half million? Answer: you hustle. You take your basic cash income as a point of departure for your activities, not as the ultimate limiting factor in what you can

do. With the kind of organization you can build and maintain on that annual income, you become .eligible for all kinds of donations from governments,' private industry, foundations and other religious and charitable organizations.

By working hard to develop other sources of supply, CRS manages each year to multiply the impact of its Lenten collection by more than 30.. Through 'the years, according to a spokesman for the agency, the average has been $32.50 in services for every dollar put in the collection by the Catholics' of the United States.

Part-Time Staff Workers of Anchor Produce JVeekly ,Paper with Aid of. Two-Girl Office "Somehow, it all works out."

That's what one staff member says about the somewhat remarka,ble way in which The Anchor is put together every week. Except for its two-girl office force, every Anchorite is a part-time worker, and often months will go by between sightings ,of one staffer by another. Yet, punctual as Thursday, The Anchor appears. How is it done?

An important factor in this weekly achievement is The Chair. iJt looks like any other, bl,lt it's the spot at the 410 Highland Avenue offices of The Anchor whereon repose all news and featllre stories to be taken "down to Le'ary's," otherwise known as the Leary Press, 10-' cated at 234 Second Street in downtown Fall River.

A side note of consic:ierable interest is that the Leary Press blinding is . the original home of Lizzie Borden... Anchor readers may make what they will of this historical coincidence.

At any rate, it is gravely'in-, cumbent upon whoever mig;.ht be traveling towards Leary's from The Anchor office to check The Chair and bear with him or her whatever might be aylaiting the good offices of the printer.

What might be on The Chair?

There is material concerning Church activities throughout the world, .provided by the National Catholic News Service of Washington, D. C., which also supplies the assorted columns found weekly in The Anchor, with the

Father Raymond Carey, a Ca~holic priest and social psychologist on Lutheran General's pastoral care staff, reported th~t 87 per cent of nurses he su~eyed and 76 per cent of doctots said chaplains are of great importancce.

There are usually two or three feature stories'.on activities or outstanding personalities in the diocese. These are cont.-ibuted by free-lance writers in various sections of the diocese or by Patricia McGowan of The Anchor staff. Local photographs are taken by area free-lancers, while national and international pictures come from the Washington news service.

Not to be forgotten is the very important corps of volunteer couespondents from nearly every parish and organization in th~ diocese, who keep Anchor readers posted on what is going on in guilds and societies,and often supply news leads that re~ suit in full-length feature ~ories.

The Anchor had its beginnings in 1957, when former 'Bishop Co~no!ly decided the diocese need~ a unifying force "to let mem~ers of the family know whaf each other was doing."

Some "foreign governments-.. not~bly Germany - and more than 20 private agencies in 15 countries used CRS a~: their channel for overseas aid, last year because of the sizeanci effectiveness of the'CRS organiza'tion around the World: In its ef· f()~t'-to':aid development projects. . which it could not finance out 'of its own cash budget, CRS helped to place specific project proposals before more than 100 foundations and other funding agencies - Catholic and nonCathlic, governmental' and nongovernmental, around the world.

"There is no way of counting how ,much foundation money :will be eventually channeled into development programs with the. aid of CRS, but the total is certainly in the millions.

Be'sides the individuals ~ho drop their confribution' in the collection box once a year, CRS has been supported in various ways by continuing programs of Catholic organizations-councils of the laity on both the local and national level and such organizations as the Catholic Daughters of America and, the Daughters of Isabella. , While the total received from -other· sources dwarfs the amounts raised in' the annuai collection, however, the money dropped in the collection boxes around the country on Sunday, , drop of $30 million per year in March 12 this year remains the such contributions.

One way to look at it ,is this: last year and ,in all previous years, was the United States ,in terms of its results, every government., If you. count the dollar you give to CRS is worth value of commodities donated by $32.50 to the poor people of the WOI"ld.

The 1970 Thanksgiving Clothing .Collection brought in approximately 19.5 million pounds of' used clothing, blankets, bedding EiOd shoes, valued at more than $24 million. This clothing was sl~nt to the neeuy in some 55 countries, 'chi,efly in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

The 1970-71 contributions of medical supplies-charineled to CRoS through the Catholic Medical Mission Board and other medical reiief agencies-represented a decline from previous years' because of a provision in the 1969 Tax Rl~form Act. 'Previously a c!>mpll.nY donating medical supplies was allowed' to use their fair market value for tax 'deduc~ion '. purposes.

Minority Student Funds Increased At Notre Dame NOTRE DAME (NC) - A $3 million scholarship fund for minority students has been establfshed at the University of Notre Dame here.

Hoiy Cross Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, Notre Dame president, said that the endowed fund will provide a stabilized source of minority student awards.

In recent years, such scholarship have been tied mainly to profits obtained from bowl appearances .by the university's football team.

Notre Dame broke II 44-year ban on post-season football appearances in 1970 to 'play in the Cotton Bowl, held each New Year's Day in Dallas, stipulating that net profits would go primarily for non-athlete minority student education awards. More than $250,000. was raised for such awards through 1970 and 1971 Cotton Bowl appearances.

Additional Scholarships The new endowment, gathered from sources including the Ford Foundation, a Knights of Columbus gift, an' over-the-top Notre Dame fund-raising campaign, will provide about $150,000 annually in scholarships to undergraduate minority students, university officials said.

Father James T. Burtchaell, Notre Dame provost, noted additional minority scholarships offered by the university bring the total funds available to about $200,000 annually.

"This would represent about 25 per cent of our total endowed and contributed scholarships going to about three per cent of our undergraduate students, n Father Burtchaell said, noting that one purpose of the new en~owment was to increase the number of minority students at the university.

Open Sale Of Contraceptives SEATTLE (NC)-While many parents in Washington state were working to defeat a proposal allowing doctors to supply contraceptive services to minors with parental consent, the state legislature went ahead and enacted a bill letting pharmacies display contraceptives openly and sell them to customers of any age, reports tlie Catholic Northwest Progress.

The Seattle archdiocesan weekly s'aid few parents in Washington State realize that their teenage sons and daughters can now buy products and devices "contributing to sexual promiscuity, regardless of their youth, but they can't legally buy a glass of beer until they are 21 years of age."

The Progress noted, that along with maximum legal availability of contraceptives, the state has also licensed 500 .vending machines to make prophylactics available in ~upermarkets, service stations and other places.

Bishop Sees Age Needing Denial , SAN DIEGO (NC)-Affluence, leisure and permissiveness have degraded rather than bettered mankind, Bishop Leo T. Maher of San Diego said in a Lenten pastoral issued here.

"Rarely in modern times has. there been so urgent a need for self-knowledge and self-discipline as presents itself in this tormented age," the bishop said, saying that Lent presents an opportune time for sacrifce, mortification and self-study.

Lamenting today's troubled times, Bishop Maher said, "We are witnesses of unprecedented crises in church and state.

Worldly things have paved the way for the great evil of our time, lawlessness in all its forms.

"The road to peace is long and rugged. It entails hardship, prayer, saorfice, an honest look at our frailties, courage, patience, prayer and perseverance.

"The time for effort is here," he said. "What more appropriate a period for reform and renewal than t~e season of Lent."

American Catholics have every'reason to be proud of their contribution to aiding the ,needy of the world~ Since '1943, Catholic Relief services programs have made available for distribution overseas some 10.8 million tons of supplies with' a value of 2~ billion dollars. ,Last'year, more than , 483,000, tons of supplies were sent to the poor an4 needy overseas. The value was $154 million dollars.:....an· amazing multiplication of the actual dollars given.

A striking aspect of the charity is that it goes to the poor and needy of all races and creeds; and it is given to them not in a ,spirit of affluent people but· as brothers sharing what they have with other' brothers whom they may not see but who are united, to them under the 'Father. . , 'hood of One God. .

Jesuits' Attempt To Solve India's Labor Problems·

THE ANCHOR-" Thurs., March 9, 1972

Canadian Jesuit Gets Rome Post

NEW DELHI (NC)-Two Indian Jesuit organizations are trying to implement Prime Minister Indira Ghandi's slogan "Drive Out Poverty." Those words helped her win her massive support in last year's elections, although she insists that they are not a slogan but a policy.

The prime factor in eliminat· ing poverty from India, says the Indian Planning Commission, is an increase jn production. But the low productivity in both government and private industries is attributed to perennial strikes and lockouts. Last year one mil· lion man'days were lost by' industrial conflicts.

To remedy this evil the two Jesuit organizations are putting their faith in education of. both labo.r and management. .

Recently American Jesuit Fa· ther Joseph Kennedy of the Xavier Labor' Institute gave a leadership course to management personnel of the government· operated Indian Airlines in this city.

Almost Chaotic

TORONTO (NC)-Father Edward F. Sheridan, 59, head of the English-speaking Jesuit province in Canada, will assume his new post in Rome as a regional assistant to the superior general of the Jesuits sometime after Easter.

Father Sheridan will have ad· ministrative responsibility for Jesuit provinces in Canada, England, Ireland, Malta and Bel· gium.. There are 10 regional assistants in the Jesuit order.

Father Sheridan has been p.rovincial in Canada since 1969. The .' English-speaking Canadian province has 375 priests, Brothers and seminarians.

Born in Montreal. Feb. 20, 1912, Father Sheridan entered the Jesuits in 1933 and was or· daine<:i in 1944 in Toronto. He' was rector of Regis College from 1957 to 1964 and taught moral theology both. at Regis College. and St. Augustine's seminary here.

NEW ALTAR: Brooklyn

NEW YORK (NG) - A city program director for immigrant Haitians has accused the' New York archdiocese and the Brook· Iyn diocese of discrimination against Haitians. . The charge was levelled during the Church-sponsored "One and Many" conference' which leaders of' some 25 ethnic and civic groups att~nded.

Frantz Derenoncourt, director of the Haitian programs of the Manpower and Career Development Agency, said he was raising the charge "regrettably." . Responding in part, Father Anthony Bevilacqua of the Brooklyn Diocesan Migration Of· fice said that Brooklyn diocesan officials had stepped up' foreign language work and were seeking to increase the present number of 14 Haitian 'priests.

The Haitian exchange came as ethnic leaders articulated problems of identity, language and , legal employment into w~ich immigrailts are thrown. , , ,The conference, spOnsored by the New York archdiocese, appeared to update the traditional "melting pot" concept in Amer· ican society. ' . .

New York "is still a melting pot, but we shouldn't melt," Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York, told NC News Service in discussing the ~eeting. "There is so much to be done."

Stl'1ess CathoHc Education Value WASHINGTON (NC) - Offi· cials of an international federation of Catholic graduates have reaffirmed their support of Catholic schools "on the basis of their quality and the fullness and orthodoxy of religious education, in keeping with the magisterium of the Church."

Issued by the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae's 12-member executive committee here, the recent statement also recognized " the primacy of God in life and in education," and the authority of Pope Paul VI "in his· judgment and deci· . sions regarding the Faith."

"Recognizing the fact that education today is beset with problems of transition and change, and needs much encour· agement," the statement noted, "we, as Catholic graduates, pledge our support to the teachers who have continued to work in true dedication for the transmission of our Faith."

Drafters of the statement also said they oppose "the establish· ment of secular humanism as the religion of the state," and support the right of all parents "to choose the school and the philosophical-religious values of their child's education by working for justice and equity in the distribution of educational tax dolll;lrs."

The Alumnae Federation, open originally to women graduates of CatI10lic educational institutions, but extended in August 1970 to men and to other interested women, will consider a program of action relating to the education statement at a board of directors meeting this Summer in Chicago.

Says Seminaries Need to Improve Philosophy Study

PHILA-DELPHIA (NC) - A three-judge federaL panel here has changed its :fIlind and is holding up $24 million in back state aid payments to Pennsylvania's nonpublicschools until the U. S. Supreme Court decides . what should be done with the money.

The panel originally ruled Dec. 28 that .the Commonwealth of Pennsylivania should pay the $24 million, the amount of aid nonp'ublic schools would have been paid· from the time the' . state legislature. passed the aid law until the Supreme Court · ruled U unconstitutional last

VATICAN CITY (NC)-The study of . philosophy in seminaries must not be watered down or .supplanted by the popular sciences, ,a new Vatican instruc. tion warns the world's bishops.

The Vatican's Congregation _ for Catholic Education, stating that it is alarmed' at a lethargy toward philosophy in. semi.nary trafning, admits in the instruction the d~fficu'uies of studying philosophy but also' stresses its absolute necessity for priests.

The instruction contains som~ guidelines for.. a philosophy' program in each seminary. The con· gregation's instruction also rec.ognizes that many' seminaries will have an uphill fight toward adequate librar,ies. and a compe.tent staff and suggests that seminaries do "what is possible and realistic" with the means now at of knowledge." .

'june 28.· .

Declaring ·th~tsince the 'law had been ruled. uhco'nstitutional no aid at should be granted 'the nonpublic schools, opponents ·of the legislation appealed the federal panel'.s decision to the Supreme. Court.

State officials· dragged their feet on making the aid payment, _ fearing that the high court might eventually reverse the panel's order. Meanwhile, on Feb. 22, the panel granted a 90-day stay of ·its order, pending the Supreme Court's decision on the appeal. .

William B.. Ball, Harrisburg, Pa., lawyer representing the schools, had argued that such a delay could prove fatal to some schools which had budgeted or · borrowed money while relying on the aid payment.

Ball had asked the panel to require those appealing the ruling to post a bond for the $24 million to assure that .the funds would not be lost.

Major Obstacle , The study of philosophy, the instruction says, can lead' the 'seminarian to the "supreme level of knowledge."

Philosophy, it says, is not only a "science of the highest importance for man ... it constitutes the soul of authentic culture because it puts questions of the meaning of things and the existence of man in a' way that is truly adequate to the deepest aspirations."

One major obstacle toward an appreciation of philosophy, the instruction says, is that the professor does too much of the' work and the· students have too little interest.

"Today's professor of philosophy' (must) assimilate a great quantity. of new ideas which derive from a variety of philosophical mentalities and .the progress of science.

Boston Arclhdibcese Reorganized BOSTON (NC) - To achieve greater pastoral efficiency, Archbishop Humberto 'Medeiros has reorganized 'the, 25,000-squaremile Boston archdiocese' into three sectors, each to have an auxiliary bishop.

In a letter announcing the move, Archbishop Medeiros said there is a "great need for closer relationship between the archbishop and the people of God who look to him for spiritual leadership."

"I have consulted widely and prayed fervently that some effective method might be developed to make it possible' for men to reach out to every corner of the archdiocese in the ,discharge of

CHARLOTTE (NC) - Federal tax laws have become "a bar to effective collective action" by charches'ih areas of public interest, the' General Board of the National 'Council of Churches charged here.

In a re~olution passed during a five-da~ meeting, the 250member policy-making board of the NCCcriticized the Internal Revenue ServiCe for recent decisions which jeopardize the taxexempt st~tus of some churches and church orga~izations.

The Internal Revenue Code "gr~lOts tax-exempt status: to churches knd church organizations 'if' propaganda and other activities designed to iJlftuence legislation i are not a 'isubstantial part" ,of their activities.

of reactionary leaders in both religion and poHtics, the NCC has been active in evaluating and 'commenting on proposed legislation in such fields as civil rights. Speculations and unofficial reports that the Council was in danger of losing its tax exemption have been Circulating for months.

Kelley criticized 'church leaders for letting the situation go so far. wjthout mor~ vigorous, protests. His report .indicated, that the cracIcdown on churches, via their tax exemption, was probably not 'a matter of highlevel government policy but rarth~r a "spontaneous" se,t of impulses, felt concurrently by many "middle-echelon officials."

P,roposes'lPeace Invasion l of Ireland NEW YORK (NC)-A ~'peace invasion" of Northern Ireland this Summer by thousands of American young' people-Protestant and Catholic-was proposed here as a practical move toward' reducing inter-religious tension there., The idea came from Father David Bowman, associate executive director of the Commission of Regional and Local Ecumenism of the National Council of Churches. He made the proposal on his return from a survey of the situation in Northern Ireland.

The Jesuit, who five years ago became the first Roman Catholic priest to join the staff of the NCC, believes that ecumenical teams of American college students in Northern Ireland "not just for a vacation but to work at reconciliation" might begin to break the cycle of religious hatred handed from one generation to the next.

While acknowledging that there are many factors-political, economic, historical - involved in the current crisis in Northern Ireland, Father Bowman believes that' the religious, issue is at the heart of it.

Even 'in Sports "The warfare has a deep and intrinsically religious basis to it and there's no way to escape that," he said in an interview.

The deep hatred between the two bodies of Christians has gone on so Icing that differences are now frozen into the culture.

Take sports for example. "11) the Catholic' SGhools, the kids play Irish football and hurling," he said. "In their schools" the Protestants learn cricket and rugby. So the kids can't even compete-they don't know the same sports."

"The kids have it dinned into them from the time they can understand: 'Those are the, en-

emy. They're different from us.'

The people are segregated from hirth on." . Protestants, he said, "strongly favor subsidies for parochial schools, but' for the wrong reasions: because parochial schools for the Catholics keep the kids' separated." , Father Bowman was accompanied on his trip by Father Donald Campion, editor of America magazine, and the Rev. Wesley R. Baker, an officer of the Commission of Ecumenical Mission and Relations of the United Presbyterian Church.

'Greatest Contradiction' Father Bowman, who for the past five years has focused his total effort on bettering Protestant and Catholic relations, re-, flected genuine anguish when he said "Northern Ireland is the greatest contradiction of all we stand for in the ecumenical movement."

It is because the people of Northern Ireland have had no experience with any kind of ecu-

menical cooperation or even coexistence, that Father Bowman feels his promised "peace invasion" of American young people could be helpful. At the very least, he points out" it could demonstrate to them that Protestants and Catholics can get along, together.

Bishops Ask Action On Unemployment EDINBURGH (NC)-The bishops of Scotland have called for a massive program of new technological training for the seriously increasing numbers of unemployed in Britain.

"We- call on the civil authority to carry out with courage and firmness the measures it judges essential for a lasting solution to this human tragedy of unemployment," they declared in a joint pastoral letter at the beginning of Lent. "A massive program to retrain men in new skills in this technological age would seem Imperative. We 'are lamentably behind other nations in this."

VATliCAN CITY (NC) - Dipping into early Christian custom, the Vatican has come up with a lengthy method of preparing would -be adult converts for full membership in the Catholic community.

The' new procedure will normally require that the aspirant spend several yea,rs getting ready for Baptism, Confirmation and the Eueharist - the three sacraments of communion with the Church.

The method itself was six years in the making and was 'based on controlled experimentation within various cultures throughout, the world, from primitiye societies to' sophisticated Western societies whetre ChI1istianity has long been dom,inant. It recalls the iong period of preparation requil.',ed of "catechumens" in the early centuries of Christianty.

Entitled "Ordo Initia:tionis Christianae, Adultorum" or the Order for the Christian Initiation of Adults, the Latin document was dated Jan. 6,by the Congregation' for Divine Worship' and was made public Feb. 17 by the Vatican. It will go into effect locally once regional or national conferences ,of bishops have adapted. it,to local circumst~lDces.

Preparation of Children'

There is also a section devoted to alternative texts for reception into' thecatechumenate and other rituals, and a section on the reception into the Church of non-baptized Catholics.

Formal' Welcome The ordinary course, for the reception of unbaptized adults into the Church will begin with an initial ,instruction in the Catholic- faith, followed by ,formal welcome into the Christian community as an unbaptized catechumen. , Father Jacques Cellier, a consultor of the worship congregauion who helped' draft the new ritual, described the period of the' catechumenate as "a kind of apprenticeship to the Christian Nfe."

, He told a news conference that durring, this period of some' years the catechumen "may receive basic' 'religious and spjri· tual formation" and "form his Christian conscience."

TIle catechumen asks the bishop for Baptism, Conf,irmation and the Eucharist. If the bishop ilgrees, the catechlumen spends a perliod of intensified prepin;ation, usually coinciding with Lent.' ' Easter is ,singled, out as th(! most appropriate moment for formal reception into the Church through the sacraments of Bap.tism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.

The new order provides more than' a fixed system for the lengthy preparation. and recep-, tion 'of unbaptized adults into' Spanish Mass the Church. It' offers a, simpler rite for the reception of unbapBROOKLYN (NC)-A new contized .'persons, in .cases, not- ,re- temporary Spanish Mass, using quiring lengthy preparation.

Bishops' Meeting Open to Press, Lay Observ'ers WASHINGTON' (NC)-Seventy-five accredited newsmen will be admitted to the general sessions of the American bishops' semi-annual Spring' meeting April 11-13 in Atlanta, A limited number of clerical and lay observers will also be admitted, it was announced here by the executive commiteee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the United States Catholic Conference.

The bishops 'will hold at least one executive sessiop. to which the press and. observers will not be invited, reported Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, NCCB and USC.C general secretary.

The decision to admit the press and observers was made by the bishops at their meeting here 'last November' on the recomme~datiqn 'of a' committee. .

In .the past 'the bishops' meet-

ings have been closed. In recent years, press panels ha~e provided reporters with basic information and interpretation of the bishops' meetings. These will be contino ued.

In providing for closed executive sessions, Bishop Bernardin reported, "there is no intention of emasculating the open sessions. Everyone agrees, however, that there are matters which might have to be discuss~d in closed sessions."

75 Newsmen Limit He said preliminary decisions regarding items reserved for executive sessions will be made at the NCCB administrative committee and usee administrative board meetings that precede the

twice-yearly general meetings.

He added that a credentials committee is being established to ensure that only bona' fide communications media representatives are admitted.

The committee will be composed of four representatives from the media, two staff members of the USCC communications department, and three bishop members of the USCC communications committeeBishop John L. May of Mobile, Ala.; Bishop Edward A. McCarthy of Phoenix, Adz., and Auxiliary Bishop John J. Ward of Los Angeles.

The limit of 75 newsmen, Bishop Bernardin said, is based on the physical limitations of the facilities in Atlanta and the num· ber of reporters who normally attend the bishops' Spring meeting.

Two Popes, John XXIII and Paul VI, get brief mention in the final, unfinished volume of Charles de Gaulle's recollections, Memoirs of Hope.: Renewal and Endeavor (Simon and Schuster, 630 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10020. $10).

. His intention may have been slyly humorous, to indulge in a bit of self-mockery. This would appear doubtful, since De Gaulle took himself most seriously, as the very personification of "eternat France," and pronouncing apodictically on any number of subjects. True, he once refers to "my limited abilities" (Page 19); still, there is no evidence that he considered himself unequal to reordering the whole world.

COJltinued from Page Sixteen program will come to grips with this and other problems remains to be seen. The reforms have many good features: a federally guaranteed income floor for the poor and assistance to the working poor, for example. The program also includes a number of weaknesses and certain aspects . (such as work "incentives" designed to get employable persons into some sort of jobs) whose long-range implications only experience will show.

What Seems obvious, however, is that, even i(all parts of the reform package prove a smash· ing succ;ess, the intractable 'problem of >the "undeservinif' poor will remain largely untouched. It is then that one would have to fear "get-tough" policies which would in fact amount to makin'g war on the poor. The challenge, it 'seems is to develop deepened public understanding of thepoverty problem-in all its human complexity-in order to head off possible punitive measures against the poor themselves.

Methodists Plan Jewish Dialogue NEW YORK (NC) - The nation's 11 million-member United Methodist Church may soon embark on what it terms a "new interreligious adventure", its first official dialogue with members of the Jewish faith.

Its "Statement on Interreligious Dialogue: Jews and Christians" says it is the desire of the United Methodist Church "honestly and persistently to participate in conversations with Jews."

Submitted by the Methodists' General Commission on Ecumenical Affairs, the statement cautions, however, that "a reduction of Jewish or Christian beliefs to a tepid lowest common denominator of hardly distinguishable culture religions is not sought in this process."

What is taught, the statement says, is "a, new confrontation of our common roots, of our 'com· ·mon potential for service to humanity, with the benefits from mutual' explorations, and with 'the knotty contemporary problems of world peace , . .". \

the sun never set on the Eimplre, but it 'is just as self·right~ously stupid as it ever was. The Derry.~ massacre and the whole current policy in Ulster is a replay of the British mistakes of 1916. The Heath government is doing all it can to drive Ulster Catholics into the arms of the IRA. The facts of the case are dear enough.' The British have no right to be in Ireland. Despite the Anglo-Americl!-n editorial writers who are so eager to sympathize .with the British problem (and so unready to sympathize with American problems); ,Ed-' ward Kennedy is right: the British should. finally get out of Ireland. ..But what about the Ulster Protestants? The British brought them in, let the British wOI:ry about getting out those who refuse to become part of a United Ireland.

The' French colons in Algeria had to be resettled in France~ If the Peid Noirs. (as they were called) had to,leave Algeria b~cause they didn't belong there, 'let 'the Protestants leave Ulster if they don't want 'to live as peaceful citizens of the Irish Re· public. Surely there is.a lot of room in. the English countryside for them. ' .

Force of Arms They may have c.ome to Ireland long before the colons came to Algeria, but they came for the same ~ reaso.n; a conquering power' sent them 'to' subjugate and hopefully replace an inferior people. That they didn't succeed was no fault of theirs. The British brought. the Lowland Scots to Ulster, they kept them there eve" when it meant' starving Irish Catholics to death in times of famine, and they tolerated and reinforced an Ulster separat· ist movenient in 1920 when such a ~ovem~nt has no legal' or moral right to exist.

Mr. Heath argues that Ulster is a part of the United Kingdom.

It ·is in the some way much of Poland was part of Russia till 1918. It is part of the United Kingdom because Mr. Heath's' remote predecessors - kept it by force· of arms. The treaty which CoIlins so' reluctantly signed in 1921 was imposed on Ireland be· cause the. only alternative was the continuation of a hopeless war. "';

tion. There will never be peace in Ireland 'until both Storemont and the British army are:golle.

'Irrational Attitude' The British have contempt for the Irish, as is obvious from the attitude of British politicians and mass media: The' Irish are unciv. ilized barbari.ans who have never 1?othered to snow proper grati-· tude for the .many 'benefits' that British rule ;has bestowed on them.

- They want now what theY have wanted since an English Pope "gave" Ireland to England.

They want· the English- to get out of the country and stay out (save, of. course, as tourists and' then they'll always be welcome).

The' British mind. has never been able to comprehend this irrational attitude. Nor has it bee'n able to understand that it has no right to be in Ireland and never had and that what goes on in that befogged and bedeviled island is none of its business.

No 'Blood Bath' The Australian historian Patrick O'Farrell neatly summar· "izes Britain's historical attitude _toward the Irish. ','The Irish hated British government but British government was the best IS IT REALLY COMIN(..?: The little Honduran girl form of government, enshrining expresses anxious concern as she waits for her daily glass law and order so as to permit of milk.

- Continued from'Page Sixteen proach for confirmation. However, for the priest simply to throw this educational baIr to mother and dad, then walk away, is nQt exactly what the Roman ~ext .recommends. An earlier paragraph notes: "It is the responSibility of the people of. God to prepare the baptized for the reception of the sacrament of confirmation. Pastors should see that all the baptized come to the fullness of Christian initiation and are therefore carefully prepared for confirmation.

Parents, as I see the picture, ought to do more, to 'be more intimately involved in the confirmation preparation, but in .cooperation with others (parish priest, religious instructors, fellow.parishioners), not to the ex-• elusion of them.

Priests as Ministers Priest assistants for the bishop.

The latter was the original minister of confirmation and as a consequence "ordinarily the sacrament is administered by the bishop so that there will be a more evident relationship to the first' pouring of the'Holy Spirit, on the' day of Pentecost.

After, they were filled with the ~oly Spirit, the apostles themselves, gave the Spirit to the faithfUl through the laying on of their hands. In this way, ~he reception of the Spirit through the ministry of the bishop shows the close bond which joins the confirmed to the Church and the mandate of Christ to be·witnesses among men."

Nevertheless: the law now gives certain others the authority to confirm in special situations. Of particular interest, in my mind, is this provision: "In -case of true necessity and special reason, for example" the large number of persons to' be confirmed, "the minister of confirmation may associate other priests with himself in the administration of this sacrament."

Among those listed are "the pastors of the places where confirmation is conferred, pastors of the places where the candidates belong, or priests who have taken a special part in the catechetical preparation of the can· didates."

This solves a particular problem for us in the United States.

It. makes confirmation within Mass not only a desirable goal, but a practical possibility: But more on that in a few weeks.

Southeastern Conference T earns To Act on Basketpall Proposal ' The annual March meeting of the newly formed Southeastern Massachusetts Conference will l:!e held Monday evening in Bourne.

Since all but two each .of the three eight team of the member schools partici- brackets. Under this format a .pate in boys' interscholastic scho.ol . may then schedule as basketball, the issue is expected many as six. games outside of to bring about a great deal 'of . its division. In attaining one' of discussion. the goals of ·the Conference an Most observers feel the rec- individual school could then ommendation will be similar to maintain traditiona,l rivalries by that made for football. That is, scheduling non-divisional games three divisions be established so against long time adversaries.

County Loop Superiority Claim. Challenged Over the years constant debate has centered around the relative strengths of each of the leagues in the diocese. Many contend that the Bristol County League is the hotbed of area basketball. It is generally conceded that Durfee High of Fall River and New Bedford rate at the top of the County, but it, is also held by many that most of the other County teams would consistently beat teams from either the Narragansett League or Capeway Conference.

Holy Family fans, on the other hand, question the superiority of the County. The perennial Narry leaders have proven year-in and year-out that they can compete with the best in post season tournaments. The New Bedfordites, at this writing, are preparing for a showdown

with league rival Case High of Swansea for Division III honors in the state tourney.

Narry loop followers are quick to point out that in the past few years Case, Somerset, and Bishop Connolly High of Fall River have battled Holy Family right down to the wire. They can see no reason why any of the four cannot compete against Bristol County teams in the new circuit.

Since neither Durfee nor New Bedford have been accepted into the Conference, Narry fans may . have a. point.

Down on the Cape, one would have a hard· time. convincing Capeway Conference loyalists ,that Barnstable, Lawrence Higli of Falmouth, Fairhaven and perhaps Dennis-Yarmouth are incapable of beating any team in the diocese.

New Season to Bring New Opportunities Barnstable performed admirably in Division I in thjs year's state play-off. It was beaten by Catholic Memorial of Roxbury, in a hard fought game, which is no disgrace. Capeway fans have a strong case.

Teams aligned in the top division of the new Conference will have their work cut out for them next season. There will be no easy games. If the top clubs from each of the three loops will be aligned together it should make for some inter:sting games.

Whatever the alignment, there there will be some discontent-· ment. Some wiLl protest their favorites are in too high a division, some too low. But, a great deal of thought .and consideration will have gone into the divisional placements.

And, in keeping with the har0

mony that presently exists, some concessions 'will be made. All realize that the good of the Conference is at stake and will continue to act accordingly. They will do so knowing that if injustices have been rendered, they will be corrected when teams are realigned two years hence.

The 1972-73 basketball season is a year away. Yet, following Monday's meeting all will view the season with anticipation. For schools aligned in division one there will be the challenge of proving they deserve to be rated among the best in the area, second division teams will be out to convince the rating committee they should be in the top group, and for the third division clubs there will exist the opportunity of .competing against schools in similar circumstances and the ho~e of moving up.
