Pope Paul Demands Care In Explaining Dogmas VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI defended and added his personal comments to a recent Doctrinal Congregation warning against those who question Christ's divinity and the external existence of the Trinity. Pope Paul ordered the Doctrinal Congregation to promulgate the warning, which listed some theological errors that it said affected traditional teachings of the Church. Speaking to crowds in St. Peter's Square for his Sunday noon blessing on March 12, Pope Paul said that the dogmas that the errors undermine are ."principal mysteries of our religion." He added that "lately, here and there, they were not properly interpreted or expressed by· various authors, with the grave danger of irreverence toward the mysteries themselves and of dis" tortion to our faith~" The Pope said that Catholics who have a "genuine concept of our religion" will realize the importance of the defense of these teachings and "will rejoice in their faith and in their piety in hearing them proclaimed to this day in their completeness." The Pope admitted that some question the usefulness of such dogmas and such defenses to,day: "Accustomed as we are to' assessing everything in terms of subjective utilty, it is possible that some may ask them'selves

whether such dogmas are useful for the solution of the many and pressing problems which beset our immediate and concrete experience. "We should answer, first of all, that religious truths are in Turn to: Page TWo

DOUGLASTON (NC) - Greek Orthodox Archbishop Iakovos of North and South America voiced a sharp warning to 300 Catholic seminarians here in New York that church mergers do not necessarily advance Christian unity. The archbishop spoke at an ecumenical service at the Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception. Christian unity, he said, "can not be achieved by any kind of Octave Prayer for Christian Unity," or by decrees, organic unions and the deliberations of ecumenical agencies if its "seal and trademark" of holiness is missing. "1 question the holiness and the ecumenical motives of all the 50-called ecumenical agencies," he said in the strongly worded assessment. "We have not as yet come to the realization that ecumenism is a very binding commitment ... "Mergers may be necessitated by crises or circumstantial inter" ests, but they do not necessarily advance the cause of Christian unity." The Greek Orthodox leader asserted that "true and total Christian unity" can. be understood only within the context of St. Paul's statement that Christ has made Christians one by breaking down dividing walls.

The primate chastised Christian leaders for not being true to this image of "the Church of Christ," atlding: "We avoid systematically be· ing true to ourselves and all we do is articulate, or expound, or insist upon the truths of our respective churches, dogmatizing in the most axiomatic way that unity can be realized only within this or that theological or eccle· siological domain. "In the meantime, the Third World (of underdeveloped na· tions) grows bitter and hostile towards a Christianity which either denies in action or contradicts ,in theory, its true self." Young people in the West and in Communist-controlled coun-

Progress Now Turns To Spiritual Val'ues PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Man is living at the end of the age of a~tomatic progress and in an age of supreme relevance for a religious vocation, according to Barbara Ward (Lady' Jackson), an Anchor columnist.

Lady Jackson said that the scientific, economic and political underpinnings of the age of' automatic progress have been removed and that there is a widespread search for a standard of· living that reflects not "gross national product" but spiritual values. A member of the Pontifical Commission for World Justice and Peace, Lady Jackson noted tliat only Christianity has the capacity to respond to the collapse of faith in scientifc ration· alism, in economic liberalism and in the political theory of automatic movement toward so,cial progress.

tries, he said, "join hands with the embittered and angered Third World demanding a Christianity which proclaims a crucified Christ as 'its God, despite the fact that the organized religions and philosophies of the time would call Christ a scandalous or foo:lish man." Archbishop Iakovos, commenting on a recent discussion of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Chirstian Unity on the vitality of the Christian Unity move· ment, said that in his view Christian leaders are "more reluctant" to initiate approaches to the risng ecumenical question of ministry in the Church. He reiterated that Church unity should be seen in another light than "the light of mergers."

"We're all searching for better ways of educating our children. The basics can't change in edu- ' cation or religion, but ways of presenting them can.", While saying, "I would hate to see the parochial school systern go," the superior also recognized the need of CCD programs for children not enrolled in the Catholic, system, and the necessity of supplying trained personnel to direct such programs.

Religious, People ,'More Ha'ppy NEW YORK (NC)-Happiness means being religous. That's what Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (BBDO for 'short), a Madison Avenue advertising agency discovered when it asked people if they were , happy. The survey showed, according to BBDO, "People who c1a,im to be 'very religious' were 12 times more likely to be very happy than unhappy. ~'Or putting it another way," the agency said, "unhappiness is apprOXimately five times higher among non-religious people than among people who claim to be 'very religious.''' The survey showed that 42 per cent of the "very religous", persons interviewed said they were very happy. Only 18 per cent of the non-religious said ,they were very happy. Only 8.5 per cent of the persons questioned said they were "not too happy." Most:-S9.5 per cent-said ,they were "somewhat happy" and 32 per cerit said'they were "very 'happy." .:: '

Says Americans Misunderstand Situation in Northern Ireland DUBLIN (NC)-Londonderry's "priest with the bloody handkerchief." Father Edward Daly. told NC News that on his recent trip to the United States he had found great misunderstanding among Americans concerning events in Northern Ireland. Father Daly was seen on many television newscasts ministering to the dying and wounded during the Bloody Sunday killings by British troops in Londonderry Jan.30. He said that the Britisr "propaganda machine" enjoys complete success in the United States. He said he found Americans quite convinced' that British

troops were fired on first when they went into Londonderry's Catholic Bogside district on Jan. 30. "I think I have convinced them this is not true," he said. Father Daly said he urged the Irish government to inform the people of the United States and the world much more quickly and accurately about Northern Ireland events: "If the truth of what is happening could go out to the world," he said" "we would be a long way towards achieving peace and justice for our people and. eventually perhaps, the reunification of our country." Father Daly's trip to the United States was sponsored by the Irish government at the request of Londonderry people. While in the United States he appeared on many top TV programs, including the Dick Cavett Show. Internment Policy

Priests Stress Racial Justice BALTIMORE (NC)-The Baltimore archdiocesan Senate' of Pr.iests has attacked the "plantation mentality" of the Church and urged the archdiocese to give "highest priority to racial justice." lIn a statement adopted by a 14-1 vote the Senate also criticized "tokenism" in appointments of blacks to decisionmaking posts in the archdiocese. The priests said that blacks should be given a voice in parish councils in both all-black areas and in changing neighborhoods. The archdoicese should train

priests to develop "an outreach to black Catholics" and the recruitment and training of black priests should btl emphasized, according to the statement. The senate, an advisory body to Cardinal Lawrence Shehan, said"blacks should be allowed to develop lIturgies which reflect the "unique cultural heritage of black people." The 'priests called on the Church to "lead in an effort to insure justice for people" and criticized the "systematic absence of a Catholic response to ,the heretical error of racism."

MONSIGNOR NOLAN \NRITES: THE HOLY FATHER'S MISSION AID TO THE;' ORIENTAL CHURCH

When people ask why priests in India are work· ing to find water I go to the faucet and return with an empty glass. Water"like breathing, is something we take for granted. Without it we cannot eat, or drink, or wash, or be baptized.

INDIA: DON'T WASTE , THE WATER

People, too, we sometimes take for granted. In India there are 530 million-more than twice as many people as in the U.S.A. and Canada combined. :rhe average Indian's take·home pay is less than 50¢ a week. What can you do about it? Write to me. We'll put you in touch with the pers,on in India you can help to help himself and others. For instance, the deserving young lad Y'ho wants to become a priest ($15 a month, $180 a year). Or the prayerful young teen-ager who feels called to be a Sister ($12.50 a month, $150 a year). Or the orphanage child, saved from the streets, who needs only an even chance (and $14 a month, $168 a year) to become a responsible, self-supporting grownup. Catholic Near East is person·to-person. We acknowledge your gifts promptly. We forward your gifts (and your letters) to the person you are helping, and that person will write to you. You'll have someone new in your family praying for you gratefully. Write me or phone me (212/986-5840) for our full-information leaflet.

LENTEN SACRIFICE

Archbishop Mar Gregorios of India will write personally to say where he'll locate it if you enable him to buy ($975) two acres of land as a model·farm for a parish priest. Raising his own food, the priest can teach his parishioners how to increase their crop production. (A hoe costs only $1.25, a shovel $2.35.)

There were almost.23 million accidents with 114,000 lives lost and 10.8 million Americans suffering disabling injuries with some 400,000 permanently impaired.

We must get across the picture that the standard of living is made up of more than mere economics-that the true standard of living is not the ~gross national product' but the true joy of the human spirit." Lady Jackson said there is only one sadness and that is not to be a saint: Comparing priests and seminarians to the prophets of Israel, she said that people have 'gone to other persons for answers and it hasn't worked. "They might try you again," she noted, "but they're not going to come back to people who don't have much to say, and to be the type of' person who has , something' to'say, 'YOU' have to cling ,to prayer ,as 'y,ou)' cling to 'water.'" , "" '.. ,,',' ,, , Calling, for' policies ;aimed at redistributing wealth 'on -the world level, Lady Jackson said that there ought to' be a "citizens' lobby of all Christians'~ to take one per cent of, the "gross national product" to take care of 'the poor through international agencies to avoid the taint of colonialism.

Catholic Official Charg'es Bigotry In Public Schools BURLINGTON (NC)-A diocesan education official here has charged that insensitivity and even bigotry against Catholics is practiced by some teachers in Vermont public schools. "This is not a witch hunt," said Msgr. Raymond Adams, Bur~ lington diocesan school board chairman, speaking at a diocesan pastoral council meeting. "I've been in education long enough to know how some re'ports can be garbled and lam aware of the dedication of the majority of teachers in our state." "I think, however, that the complaints are serious and numerous enough to warrant your attention' and to let you know that we are aware of the problem." "The fact is," Msgr. Adams said, "that schools which are supposed to keep neutral on religion are in some cases actually teaching a kind of religious humanism which has values not acceptable to Catholic parents." Contraceptive Information "We, estimate that some 50,000 Catholic children are being e~ucated in our public schools and as Vermonters we have a concern in what is ,being 'taught, not only to them, but also to all the children. They should not be brainwashed." Msgr. Adams said, after the meeting that part of the problem "lies in the laudable concern with ecology.: But when a: third' grader comes home from school and demands to know why' his parents have more ,than two children, which are equated with pollution,~ parents have a right to know what kind of values are being, taught." . The passing out of contraceptive information and the advocacy' of vasectOmies were' also . cited. In another instance, Msgr. Adams told' of a parent who objected when a teacher, commenting on a picture of 'Pope Paul, remarked that he was' "100 years behind the times." , 'Modesty Hang-up' , The complaints have come to the diocesan school board from pastors,' parents, and teachers in the religous education program, the monsignor said. They range from insensitivity to a professional failure to balance a presentation, he added. One teacher, attempting to get ll-year-old girls to take gang showers, was quoted by a colleague as saying: "We'll get rid of this modesty hang-up that the Catholics have." A spokesman for the Vermont state department of education in Montpelier told NC News the department "does not wish to comment at this time" on the diocesan official's charges. "Opportunity to review the article in its entirey is needed before making further decisions," the spokesman said. The diocesan pastoral council has asked local deaneries and councils to investigate whet)1er the complaints are justified in each area.

Minority Groups Protest Rip-offs By Speculators

CAPETOWN (NC) - Anglican Bishop Colin O'Brien Winter of Damaraland in South West Africa (Namibia), deported from that territory March 5, has accused South Africa of using torture, detention without trial and violence to control black tribesmen there. Just before his departure with two other Anglicans from South West Africa, the, 43.year-old British-born Winter issued an open . letter to South African Prime Minister John Vorster and B.J. van der Walt, administrator of South West Africa. -An outspoken opponent of apartheid. the system of strict racial segregation South Africa has extended to South West Africa, Bishop Winter had supported members of the Ovambo tribe striking against the contract labor system of the South African administration. In the open letter, he described his deportation as an attempt to '''muzzle the Church" and "to suppress criticism of a regime which has, now, so far as Ovamboland is concerned, abrogated , the due process of law." The bishop said the government had ignored the Church's attempts to bring together government officials and Ovambo leaders for talks and had failed to initiate consultations on the contract labor system. "We see in their place torture, extended imprisonment without trial, violence and shootings in an atempt to suppress the feelings of the Ovambo people," he said.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Groups 'identifying themselves as oppressed and alienated minorities of the cities say they are tired of being "ripped Off" by mortgage speculators, real estate sharks and the federal government.

Cardinal Suenens Explores Road Of Chang'e LOS ANGELES (NC)-In the first of eight talks around the United States, Cardinal Leo Suenens of Brussels t-old an audience in the Hollywood' Palladium that "a climate of peaceful objectivity and quiet patience is needed in finding a positive way of change" in the modern Church. The 67-year-old Belgian cardi· nal, long regarded a consistent champion of Catholicism's postconciliar renewal, explored the question of evolution or revolution in a prepared address as he launched his three-week visit. Cardinal Suenens observed that revolution is "perhaps too strong" while evolution is "a bit weak." He said revolution implies a cutting off, a discontinuity, although "the Church would not be herself if she were not deeply rooted in the past." "Past, present and future are united in the life of the Church as a mystery," he said. ".This should discard any idea of progress through revolution. Different Image "But, and on this we should agree, the change we acknowledge in the Church today is also not a gradual evolution of some classical type, a quiet progress with no upset. It cannot be the relatively slow evolution of a child growing imperceptibly, or an acorn becoming an oak tree through the internal thrust of its sap. "Some stress, som!;! discomfort, some pruning has produced the image of the Church today, which is different from the image of the Church of yesterday." Cardinal Suenens said that perceiving the image requires both a vivid faith and "a wisdom to discriminate what is nonessential from what is essentiaL"

COMPLIMENTS CHAPLAIN ON EXPLOIT: Bishop Cronin, left, discusses with Fire Chief Thomas J. Moore, right, the recent gallant actions of Rev. John R. FoIster, chaplain to the Fall River Fire Department.

Father Foister Lives His Belief .. Church 'Should Be Present When Danger Arises'

"Just the man, that's all I had in mind." . That's how the Catholic chaplain of the Fall River Fire Department answered the question of a fire official after the priest had climbed onto an abutment of the Braga Bridge to dissuade an 18-year-old youth from a suicide attempt. It was a bitter 10-degrees that Original Design afternoon of Feb. ~3 and the "The Church is cathedral spot where Rev. John R.

The matter had been at the scene, described the studied by another commission priest's efforts as "a tremendous for 10 years earlier. job." "When 1 looked up on that

abutment, he was walking along as though he were on the side· walk and when 1 asked him later what he had had in his mind, he answered, 'Just the man,' " Priest Must Respond It was his interest in emer· gency work and the conviction that a priest. must be prepared to respond to emergency situa· tions when people are involved that led Father FoIster to be· come a chaplain. Previously, he served in a similar capacity for the Swansea Police and Fire Departments. and the Somerset Fire Department. The priest, who is an assistant at Notre Dame Church. in Fall River, is the son of Mrs. Joseph J. FoIster of St. Roch's parish where he was once a curate. Other parishes at which he has served are St. Anthony of Padua in New Bedford, Sacred Heart in Fall River and' St. Louis de France 'in Swansea. One of a family of 12, the chaplain has nine sisters and two brothers.

Call Postage Stamp Invasion of Privacy WASHINGl:ON (NC)-A postage stamp celebrating the family planning movement, complete with a sketch of a husband, wife and two children, has been called "an ,unwarranted interference" in family life. The criticism came from Msgr. James T. McHugh, director of the Family Life Division of the U. S. Catholic Conference. The stamp "endorses the twochild family," he said, "and thereby supports the position of those who urged the government to adopt policies that will put pressure on married couples to limit family size to two children,"

As a chaplain, he is on call 24 hours a day with a radio by his side in the rectory and in his car. When he has to be away, the Fire Department Sig· nal Division is kept informed of his whereabouts. During the five years he has held the chaplaincy, he has responded to situations he never dreamed of as a candidate for the priesthood in Rome, where he was ordained 'in 1958. His records list 548 cases, 230 of which demanded first aid; 79 the last rites of the Church; 22 where canteens had .to be set up; 'and six which were suicides. Scuba Gear His car is equipped with a ,siren and flashing red lights and he can doff his chaplain's garb to don scuba gear to search for victims'. While he prefers not to discuss what other people would call dramatic moments, he will admit that his most recent experience on the bridge was not quite so shocking as his last call about an attempted suicide on the viaduct when the boy involved "took a swipe at me with an axe," Father FoIster carries with him every conceivable type of emergency equipment which one man might use, and his work ranges from caring for victims in terms of shelter, clothing, food, and lodging, to contacting rela· tives, counseling and working with firefighters either to provide first aid assistance or to do manual labor. He does not underestimate the spiritual aspects of his role, but he says that his principal function as a chaplain is to represent "the embodiment of Christian concern for one's neighbor, coming to his aid and doing anything for him that needs to be done,"

EAST CAMDEN (NC)-"She can't miss. Within two years of , the release of the first commercial album, Barbara will be a top attraction. 1 guarantee it," , Those words were spoken by Mark Coren, production supervisor for Music Corporation of America, in announcing his com· pany would be handling the recordings of Barbara Breuer· _ Sipple. 'But the 20-year-old East CamdeJ,1 folk singer doesn't seem phased by the rave reviews of her performances or the signing of the contract.

Instead, she continues . to have a jammed schedule of folk Masses and performances for various Church groups always free of charge. Sharing "I just feel a responsibility to share the gifts that God has given me," she said in an interview with The Monitor, the Trenton diocesan paper. "It's really strange how suspicious most people get when 1 offer to entertain for nothing." Barbara says people look at her as either "an eccentric or a very poor performer," She says she is neither. She drives around New Jersey in a fiveyear-old car to get to her singing engagements. "I manage to get , by," she says. Coren said it wasn't easy to get Barbara to sign a contract. "My assistant chased her all over the state of New Jersey for months," he says. She signed only when the company agreed also to record her religious matel'iaL Her "Journey to Jesus" album sold more than 5,000 copies in 'less than three weeks after its release.

DUBUQUE (NC) - Two offi~ . cials of. the Oubuque archdiocesan Catholic Charities are in, volved in a controversy over a federally funded sterilization referral service. , Father Bernard Duval, a psy'chiatrist for Catholic Charities, compared . the service to the "final solution" of the Nazi extermination of Jews.

Father Rhomberg said that Catholic Charities can support' a family planning program if it insures that families act "in harmony with their moral values and beliefs." However, he said that his ag~ncy does not suppOrt steril.izationas a morally acceptable forll1 of birth control. The local family .planning service: has sho~tcomings, FaPter Rhomberg said, and he plans to discuss them with its director. . Father Duval said he opposed ,the service, on "political and practical" grounds. A government financed plan carries with it the danger that the poor will be coerced into obtaining sterilization in spite M' their religous beliefs: ' The controversy developed, after the River Valley Comlpunity Action Program apprOved a request from the Hillcrest TriCour:tty Family Planning project to refer clients to., an" agency, which pays' 'for sterilizations of the poor. The Hillcrest project is part of a program receiving, most of its financing from the federal Office of Economic Opportunity.

Bishop Stresses Adult Education In Religion PORTLAND (NC)-If children are learning things their parents cannot explain, "we have a job ahead of us in adult education," Bishop Thomas J. Connolly of Baker, Ore., said at a Northwest regional meeting of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops here. "Many, many of our adults ha\;'e been so shaken by the changes in the Church that they have felt that their old Church, the one they grew up with and loved, is no longer in existence and in its place there is a new one they cannot explain," Bishop Connolly said. Have you recently asked a group of parents to explain to their children the lessons in their 'religous education textbook'? All too frequently, the answers that I have received are 'I don't know what they are talking about. These books aren't the same as the old Catechism that I learned,''' Lack Clarity Bishop Connolly said a recent' survey in his diocese showed that "everywhere, the same problem cropped up-that by the time the children had advanced to the sixth grade, it became apparent that they lacked clarity and substantial content in their faith," He said: "There was sometimes evidence of a commitment to a Christian way of life, and that is a great plus; but there still is a woeful lack of knowledge of what they are doing or whefE~ they are going." Bishop Connolly said "the once 'p;-oud giant that was the educational system of the Church in the United States now stands teetering dizzily, nor will a bandaid from the federal branch of our government stay its collapse," The one thing that will ensure its collapse, he said, "is a determination on your part to put together an educational system, for which every other ingredient is present, except only the conviction that it is worth while preserving," he said. . Also at the meeting, Msgr. Colin A. MacDonald told delegates: "Modern day priests need spirtuaHty meaningful to them and helpfUl in their work. Spirituality is the solid basis upon which we must work," Msgr. MacDonald, director of the Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee for Implementation of the Study of the Priestly Ministry, said that in traveling about the country, speaking with priests, Religious and laity, it seemed that "many of the problems" (including salary, life style and retirement plans) had disappeared,' thr9ugh :,establishment of such units as personnel boards.

THE HAGUE (NC) - A furor has arisen in the Netherlands over the government's proposal to release the last three Nazi war criminals still serving life sentences in the Netherlands. The three, who have been in prison for 27 years, were sentenced to death after World War II, but their sentences were later commuted to life imprisonment. 11hey are Franz Fischer, 69, convicted for his part in the de-, portation of about 13,000 Dutch Jews who died in German con.centration' cllmps; Ferdinand Aus de Fuenten, 61, who headed the Jewish Deportation Bureau' in the Netherlands; and Joseph Kotaella, 6a, convicted of extreme cruelty to Dutch prisoners while he was a concentration camp guard. More than 80,000 Dutch Jews died in concentration camps. Some of their relatives joined concentration camp and survivors and others' in 'a crowd of more than 40,000 demonstrating in Amsterdam against releasing , the Nazis. A dayeal'lier outside the parliment building here, fights broke out between passersby and demonstrators carrying signs reading "No Pardon "for the Three in Prison" and "Over Our Six Million Dead Bodies,"

When in the introduction to the Synod's message, "Justice in the World," the Bishops confronted the. issue of exactly how relevant the external 'conditions of "the world" are to the interior life of the Christian soul, they came to a conclusion which is not self-evident to many slave ships during the week and to church and chapel on Christians. Indeed it plays went Sundays. The slaving captains very little part in many themselves sat by the wheel of

Focus on Peace,. Not Wgr

POLITICAL RALLY'. At bottom, then, ,politics is an expression of the way in which one asks or answers some of the m,ost functamen.tal questions about human life. BY RUSSELL SHAW Christianity and war - the linking of the two ideas seems to many people today to be a contradiction. Is not war, with its hatred, violence, destruction and disruption of life, a denial of all that Christianity stands for? What stance can Christianity take toward war except to condemn it? Yet over the centuries many sincere Christians have adopted a different attitude. Acknowledging' that war is an evil, they have nevertheless, postulated circumstances-self-defense, redress of extreme injustice - in which it would be possible for Christians to engage in war as a· last resort. And, this. being so, they have sought to establish guidelines fOf waging war accordling to moral norms. Both strains of thought-'-usually referred to respectively as "pacifism" and the "just war theory"-are very much present in Christian thinking today. Each has respectable antecedents and responsible argment~ .to support it. Neither can be disV1issed out of hand as Irresponsible or' unworthy' of a Christian. Arid neither is without problems. Right of Life Prompted by' the horrors of World War I and World War II, the Vietnam war and other contemponiry conflicts, and the looming threat of thermonuclear annihiliation, Christian pacifism ha's enj9yed a resurgence in our times. Many Christian 'pacifists stake their position on the absolute, value of inviolability of hu~ man life; because God is Creator and Lord 'of all life; no one has the right to take the 'life of another. Other pacifists mi~ht ack-

nowledge some extreme situations in Which it would be morally permissible to destroy life, but insist that modern warfare simply cannot fulfill, the Gondition which would legitimatize this resort to ultimate violenve. Less is ·heard these days than in the past about the "just war" theory but this may simply be because the terminology itself is not so commonly used as it once was. Actually, those who admit that some wars may be moral enterprises and seek to distinguish these from wars which are immoral, regularly apply the "just war" principles in making their determination about a particular conflict. Just War The just war position is based on the conviction that, 'however repugnant ,violence and killing may be, there may arise situations where it is not only necessary but virtuous for a Christian to resort to these extreme measures for repelling violent aggression. The' classic example from private life is an attack on a family by.a dangerous killer. In such a case, it is said, the family would have a right and duty to, protect its members by resisting-and, if necessary, killing-the aggressor. Extending this to relationships among nations, the' theory reasons that a nation subjected to unjust aggression has a right to protect itself !?y, going' to war. But even so, war must be truly a last resort, it must' ,not be aggression masked as ~'self defense," it must have 'a reasonable chance of success, and it must observe moral limits (in particular, no direct" attacks on civilian populations). ,Turn to Page Seventeen

Until We Meet Again

New York Fireman Author Of Extraordinary' Book' A young New York City fireman, Dennis Smith by name, is destined for fame and probably for fortune. He has written, and well, an extraordinary book, Report from Engine Co. 82 (McCall Books, 230 Park Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. $5.95). It covers, '[his is'a professiomii .piece of: some months of his life in writing on a subject as little and arQupd a firehouse in known as it is common.' It' conthe South Bronx. tains neither fake violence nor , ;

fake pathos but the real article in each category. Mary .Carson's 'Ginny'

RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S. KENNEDY

The South Bronx is a garbagestrewn, verminous ghetto. The population of its tenement houses is made up in large part of blacks and Puerto Ricans. They are poor, mostly on welfa,re. "There are more homicides per 'squaremile in thi,s precinct than anywhere in the United States; more drug traffic, more prostitution." Four companies work out of Mr. Smith's firehouse; they average 700 runs a month. Much of the book deals with fighting fires, from blazes in trash cans to confll;lgrations roaring through old buildings. The danger involved chills the ',reader. But the fire department is called upon in emergencies of all sorts, and these are liberally sampled in the book. Hostility of Residents

Many children figure in Mr~ Smith's book. One child is focussed u'pon in Mary Carson's Ginny: A True Story '(Doubleday, 277 Park Ave., New York, N. Y. 10017. $5.95). Ginny is Mrs. Carson's daughter, who was a six-year-old first grader in Baldwin, Long Island, when the events detailed in the book , begin. That' was in October 1966. Ginny was' the second youngest of Dan and Mary, Carson's eight children. Coming home from school she was hit by a truck. Her mother raced to the scene and saw at mice that ~he unconscious child was badly injured. How badly, she would not know until she was confronted by the grave faces of the staff of the hospital to which Ginny was rushed. ' Special Surgery Fifteen doctors were working on the case, and' innumerable nurses and other personnel. It took 25 days for the .child's temperature to 'stabilize. 'After'that came inching; uncertain'progress, in response to unremitting, efforts by many, in getting Ginny to function on ber own without the assistance of ,elaborate apparatus.. The girl had to .learn all over again, little by little, to eat, to speak, to sit. to stand, to ,walk. How these feats were 'accomplished, laboriously you' may be sure, is spelled out. After 143 days in the hospital, Ginny was able to go home, but her rehabilitation was very far from complete by then. Therapy had to continue. She required special surgery for a kidney problem. But 20 months after the accident she made her First Communion, and a couple of months later she was back in school in a special class.

The perils to firemen are not only from fire, but also' the hostility of the area residents, who' on occasion stone the trucks and hurl deadly missiles from the housetops. An uninterrupted meal in the firehouse is rare. In one period of three and Ii half months, Mr. Smith never had one such. The bells ring almost continually, often for false alarms, all too often for fires deliberately set. Whatever the cause, there must be instantaneous response, with the likelihood of some injury and the possibility of gruesome death. The firemen are poorly paid.

Talk to any knowledgeable baseball fan and he will tell you that pitching is the key. High school coaches place even 'more emphasis on pitching especially in light of the fact that the hitters get little opportunity to work on their skills before the season begins. "We open in four weeks," says one mentor, "Our pitchers will throw every day. But, we'll be lucky to get in a week of good batting practice."

The season will open for most teams the third week in April. Pre-season games -J)cheduled before then will be played weather permitting. ' The Bristol County League race should be a three or four team race. New Bedford High and Durfee High of Fall River are always strong. There is no reason to believe they will not be on top again this season. Both traditionally are among ,the best coached outfits in the circuit and make very few mental mistakes that lead to defeat.·

Bishop Connolly High Narry Challenger Coach John Pacheco of New Bedford and Durfee's Joe Lewis always have their teams ready. In 'this, the fin~l 'Bristol 'County League season, they have added incentive to do well. If either Coach Chet Hanewich of Attleboro or, Paul O'Boy of crosstown rival Bishop Feehan can come up with a strong mound corps, their charges will definitely be in the race. Bishop Stang of Dartmouth and Taunton will enter the season as contenders; however they may be a notch below New Bedford and Durfee. Unless Msgr.

In the Narragansett League, perennial power Somerset is expected to dominate again.Although Coach Jim Sullivan's Blue Raiders were 'hit hard by graduation, there is still plenty of talent available. Bishop Connolly High of Fall River has developed into one of the better basketball schools in the area. The Cougars have forged into the thick of the battle and are rated along with powerhouse Holy Family of New Bedford and Case High of Swansea. Much the same situation exists in baseball as the Diocesans now are challenging Somerset and Case for supremacy in that sport.

Until We Meet Again Continued from Page Sixteen and an occasional cracking of the priest-son's voice. But the dominant atmosphere was one of serene hope, quiet resignation, and joyful anticipation. A great crowd of fellow believers-three bishops, priests by the dozens, and a church filled with friends -gathered as a community to bid Mary farewell, temporarily, and to commend her to the Lord. Jimmy, Patrick and Maura caught, in their own limited way, all of this drama; They tasted the painful reality of death and separation, but also felt that positive joy which flows from faith in the Resurrection. These children watched their father and mother walk up into the sanctuary and read the first scriptural passages. They heard the strong voices of men (mainly» and women singing song's which in Alleluia terms spoke of victory and a,' fuller life after death. "Keep in mind that Jesus has died for us and is risen from the dead; he is our saving Lord, he is joy for all ages." They observed their uncle, vested in white and assisted by eight other priests, leading the congregation in prayer and concelebrating Mass. Silent Signs Then, of course, there were other silent signs to be noticed. The handsome white pall, for example, draped over the casket, a reminder of Mary's baptism so many years ago and the present hope it offers for' her personal 'triumph- over death:' Or. the sign of peace exchanged between all the clergy' in the sanctuary and carried, down into the pews among the congregation.

LOS ANGELES (NC) - The plight of Anthony Bernardino, a six-year-old who was trapped in a 30-foot deep hole, was com· pared to the condition of an un· born child in the womb. While Anthony was rescued, Mrs. Joseph Dysart, secretary of of the Southern Califomia Right to Life League, pointed out that many unborn children die' in abortions. Mrs. Dysart said that the res· cue of the little boy demonstrated the "grassroots concern and respect for human life that exists in the hearts of real people-the workers, heavy equip· ment operators, firemen, police, the man who was lowered head first into the hole to try to rescue the boy." ,"That situation," said Mrs. Dysart, "has a remarkable parallel. The situation of little Anthony was in many ways very' 'much like that of an unborn child in a mother's womb. "Anthony was in a narrow passage. He did not ask to be there. He was there by accident. He was dependent for life on a life-support system provided by others. And every effort was made to conserve his life.
