Easter Collection To Aid Retirement of Religious . The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D, Bishop of Fall River, announced a plan for' as· sisting religious communities of Sisters and Brothers in meeting the financial burden associated with caring for elderly and disabled members. A sum of $150,000. has been pledged by E'ishop Cronin from the Diocese of Fall R,iver, ~o be distributed over a two-year period to congregations represented in the apostolates of the Diocese. The announcement was made in a letter which Bishop Cronin addressed to the clergy of the Dio· cese, in which he solicited the eager and enthusiastic cooperation of clergy and faithful laity al,ike in establishing the fund. Specifically, Bishop Cronin stated that the proceeds of the Easter Collection in Diocesan parishes for 1974 and 1975 would be the principal source for the pledged amount. Alluding to a study published several months ago by the United States CathoIic Confer· ence, Bishop Cronin indicated that irrefutable evidence demon~ strated the plight affecting many of the religious orders, and stated his personal conviction that some significant action should be taken. A special task force commissioned by the national Catholic office had reo ported that care of elderly religious has, dn recent years, be· come especially difficult as costs have mounted through inflation lmd other economic factors, and as the number of active religious Sisters and Brothers has diminished, thereby reduoing income which congregations might have used in providing care for retired and dis~led members. The need for current capital is especially urgent in some religious communities, since recent chal1ges dn the legislation affecting Social Security would allow participation by those who have

pronounced vows of poverty, on condition that "back service" be funded. Bishop Cronin noted that the Diocese of Fall River and its bishops have always maintained happy and cooperative associa· tions with the religious commu· nities of Sisters and Brothers who have labored in teaching, nursing and child-care apostolates, and he stated that it was proper to endeavor to respond to need arising, especially among the elderly Sisters and Brothers who should enjoy a well· deserved rest fro.m their apostolic labors without worries and anxieties ·about material concerns. Bishop Cr·onin announced that the pledged sum, which would represent a gift from the people of the Diocese of Fall River, would be allocated to the various communities of Sisters and Brothers in proportion to members serving in the Diocese. Pay-

ment will be made directly to Provincial Superiors. There are some twenty-four con!!re?-ations of reMgious women active in Diocesan apo.stolates anti two orders of Brothers. Presently over 750 Sisters and Brothers are numbered in these groups. The text of Bishop Cronin's communication was sent to the various religious SUo periors concerned. The text of Bishop Cronin's letter to the clergy of the Fall River Diocese: Reverend and dear Father, A few months ago, the results of a study concerning the retire· ment costs for religious were made known to the bishops across the country.

Pope Beatifies German Martyr

The Catholic Charities Appeal Headquarters, through its dioc· esan director, Rev. Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, has announced special programs on TV and radio for the 1974 Appeal. This is the thirty-third annual call for funds, dating back to 1942.

VATICAN CITY I(NC) - Liborius Wagner, a German priest who was martyred almost three and a half centuries ago for ref~sing to renoun<:\'! his Catholic faith, was beatified by Pope Paul VI March 24 in St. Peter's Basilica. Blessed Liborius, was tortured and 'put to death because he refused to renoun<:e his Catholicism and return to his original Protestantism. .

The Appeal funds help to support the many apostolates of charity, mercy, social seryice and education in the southeastern area of Massachusetts. These funds aid all persons, regardless of race, color and creed.

For Nazareth "College for a Day," a preEaster party for 50 exceptional children from Nazareth Hall school in Fall River, will be sponsored by the Residence Hall Congress of Southeastern Massachusetts University on Saturday, April 6 on the. SMU campus. Students from the SMU residence halls will welcome the youngsters at 10:00 AM., show them cartoon movies in the residence hall 'lounge, lead them in a sing-along and then treat them to lunch in the Campus Center cafeteria. High point of the day will be an Easter candy hunt for the young guests in the open area of the campus between the Center and residence halls.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thu.rs., Apr. 4, 1974

Man o:nd God and Holy Week· The Second Vatican Council has been compared~with all reverence-to a Spring housecleaning with special em~ phasis on· the rugs. These have ·be·en beaten to shake out the dust that has accumulated over a period of time so that the original pattern may shine through in all its beauty. From time to time the Church evaluates itself and checks on the customs and techniques that have been introduc~d over the years and centuries. Meaningful at the time of their incorporation into Church life, they may, in many instances, have lost their original purpose and have become relics of another age. Relics are fine, of course, but the Church is a living dynamic organism with the unchanging and unchangeable truths of God lived in a setting of the - here and now. The customs and techniques that have become meaningless must be relegated to history and the .present relevance of the relationship of God and man with· and in and through Jesus Christ and His Church must be ·emphasized. Nothing spells this out so clearly as the coming Holy Week. Man and God are'set in stark profile against modern life. Holy Week is the procession from darkness into light, from death into life. Every aspect of Holy Week spells out God's love for man-in His creation of man, in His plan for the redemption of man, in man's cooperation with the saving work of Jesus Christ, a work not only accomplished once in history but a work taking place here and now in its application to man here and now. Redemption is not something that once took place. Redemption is the living Christ present and active in our world, bearing in His hands the redemption He has won, reaching out to .associate man with his own death and with His own resurrection. This is the design of the Church that has alw:ays been there. Hopefully, this Holy Week will see more and more peop~e aware of what is happening, entering into the reality of redemption, and thus fulfilling all the more perfectly the Will of God, the work of God's Church....,....the sal~ation of man.

Hiding. Behlind the Devil' The New York movie critics have not taken too kindly to "The Exorcist" faulting it on dramatic and film-making grounds while admitting that it will undoubtedly make a great deal of money. But the psychologists and psychiatrists have taken it to taslk on 'other fronts. They see it as a set-back in the attempt to convince people that, for the most part, they do have control over their own lives, can make decisions for which they are accountable, cannot shirk re·sponsibility for their own lives and . decisions by attributing these to an outside force. People do have many pressures upon· them that influence the way they live and the judgements' they make and the actions they take. Some of these can be so strong that .free will and self-determination are taken away. But in most circumstances of life and for most people, they are their own persons and make their own decisions and take the consequences of tnese. Everyone should give the devil his due. He is a reality in the world. But it would not do to attribute to him what is the work and activity of the person himself. It would be all too easy to say-as a television comedian now says-"The devil made me do it." This iis a cop-out, an abdication of responsibility, and as such a running away fro~ maturity and reality. /

And while the remodeling is continuing, about 200 teenagers gather each Friday and Saturday evening to engage in a variety of activities offered at the Civic Center. Currently, the main attraction is the penny arcade located in the basement, where the teenagers can play 25 coin operated machines such as pinball, target shooting, bowling, and baseball. Other amusements include ping-pong, pool, chess, and darts. There are also a snack-bar and a lounge for small group meetings. But the Civic Center is not oriented entirely to providing entertainment for the young. Once a ramp from ground level to the kitchen has been completed, the Civic Center will be available weekdays for the area's senior citizens. The ramp will allow easy access to the building for the elderly who must use crutches, walkers or wheel路 chairs.

Court Upholds Welfare Payments to Unborn

RICHMOND (NC) - A federal appeals court here has agreed with, a lower court's ruling that indigent pregnant women are entitled. to Virginia welfare payments for their unborn' children. The court, however, did not rule on the question of whether an unborn child has a constitutional right to such aid, a point which was argued in a brief submitted in the case. The U. S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with U. S. District Court Judge Robert R.

PHILADELPHIA (NC) A' filmstrip and cassette program on ,the U. S. bishops' pastoral letter, "Behold Your Mother: Woman of Faith," has been prepared by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine-Religious Education Office of the Philadelphia archdiocese. Msgr. Raymond J. Teller, author and producer of the program, said it is designed to introduce adults and high school students to the bishops' letter and to increase devotion to the Mother of God. The 15-minute filmstrip, with pictures from Rome, Lourdes, Fatima and other Marian shrines, is synchornized with a summary of the ·pastoral letter read by John Facenda, a CBS newscaster. Facenda contributed his services to the program, because he said he and his family have received many favors through the intercession of the Blessed Mother.

Seek 'Conscience Clause' for Nurses

Cities Service Petro~eum Products

In Abortion Legislation TORONTO (NC)-The pro-life movement in Canada is expected to press the federal government for a "conscience clause" in current abortion legislation to protect nurses who refuse to participate in any abortion procedure. Gwen Landolt, president of the Toronto~area Right to Life Association said' that before nurses are hired, they are being asked by' public hospital admin" istrators if they will participate in abortions. "If they say, 'no,' these women are not hired," Mrs. Landolt said because the hospitals claim that they were denied employment because they lacked the necessary qualifications. Nurses have the right to be protected from this kind of discrimination." "At least three doctors who applied for staff positions at public hospitals told me they were refused jobs because of

doctors and nurses who believe in the sanctity of all h~man life." Draft proposals for the conscience clause will be considered by members of antiabortion groups across the country and will probably be included in a position paper to Parliament this fall. The paper and a one-millionsignature petition will demand legislation to tighten existing abortion laws and protect the lives of the unborn.

Cardinal Critical Of Arrests SAO PAULO (NC)-Cardinal Paul Evaristo Arns of Sao Paulo accused this city's chief of police of "vengeance against the Church" in criticizing the arrest<; of dozens of laymen wmking with Catholic social action programs. The cardinal ,also disclosed at a press conference here some of the topics he had discussed with a high·ranking aide to President Ernest Geisel. Geisel, a Protestant, became president of Latin America's biggest country March 15. Cardinal Arns said that police chief Sergio Paranhos Fleury per· sonally interrogated some of the 40 laymen arrested in Sao Paulo. Waldemar Rossi, who works for the archdiocesan justice and peace commission was tortured for six hours, Cardinal Arns said. Only 14 of those arrested since January rem&in in jail. Cardinal Arns said that the archdiocese is giving financial aid to the families of those ar· rest,ed and financing their legal defense.

HARRISBURG (NC)-Overriding the veto of Gov. Milton J. Shapp, the Pennsylvania legisla· ture voted to restore the ~eath penalty for murder. The vote to override was 16920 in the House and 42-6 in the Senate. Shapp called the new law "manifestly bad legislation," but said he would uphold it. The U. S. Supreme Court's decisi9n in the 1972 Furman case had set aside the Pennsylvania death penalty. The court then said that the death penalty was unconstitutional because of the uncertain way in which it was administered. Last September, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference urged state legislators to explore every alternative before voting to retain capital punishment, but did not definitively oppose the death penalty.

Promotes Fr~e Elections Father Daniel Lyons, S.J. enjoys. the distinction of having written more articles against Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers dian any other American journalist. He also enjoys the more dubious distinction of having disseminated more misinformation about Chavez could and should have learned long time ago, even if he had and the UFW than anyone anever visit~d California, that else in the Fourth Estate. prior to strikes and boycotts,

At predictably regular intervals he says demonstrably false things about Chavez and the UFW.

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS Father Lyons did it again a couple of weeks ago in a syndicated column entitled "Chavez and the Boycott" (The National Catholic Register, March 10) The gist was that the UFW's boycott of lettuce and grapes is immoral. I don't know of a single moral theologian of any professional standing who would subscribe to that conclusion. Moreover Father .Lyons knows that the U. S. bishops did not agree with it. He should have noted in his column that the bishops en· dorsed the boycott at the November meeting of the National Con· ference of Catholic Bishops. I might add, parenthetically, that for reasons best known to themselves some opponents' of the boycott are mischievously spreading a rumor to 'the effect that the NCCB vote on this issue was either invalid-or, at best, meaningless-for want of a quo· rum. The record will show that's a lot of balderdash. The pres· ident of the the NCCEl formally ruled, in response to a question from the floor, that a quorum was present when the boycott resolution was present.ed. Following that parliamentary ruling, some 16 bishops from all parts of the United States eflthusiastically spoke in favor of the resolution. Not a single bishop spoke against it. The official minutes of the meeting show that the resolution was adopted without audible dissent-which is another way of saying that it was passed unanimously. False Statement Father Lyons also alleges in his Register column that Chavez and the UFW have always been opposed to free secret ballot elections as a means of determining which union farm workers want to represent them. "To the best of my lmowledge," he says, "and I have made many trips to California in the past few years to interview the farmers, Chavez never suggested to any grower that he hold an election among his workers, until the Teamsters came along. Instead he used the boycott like a gun against their heads, threatening to destroy the farmers economically if they would not sign a contract with the union." That statement is completely false-irresponsibly so, in my opinion, because Father Lyons

the UFW, as I reported in the last release of this column, has consistently called for elections, only to be rebuffed by the growers. Having been rebuffed, the union was forced, in desperation, to resort to strikes and boycotts to settle the representation issue. Present State Father Lyons also could and should have learned, without ever having, visited California, that the UFW has participated in a number of secret ballot elections and has won them all by a comfortable margin. The UFW's record on this issue of free elections has been outlined in meticulous detail in a memo orandum prepared by Rev. Wayne C. Hartmire, Jr., a United Church of Christ Minister, who serves as Director of the National Farm Worker Ministry and is one of the most knowledgeable men in the United States concerning the ins and outs of the farm labor prob· lem. Rev. Mr. Hartmire's memorandum is entitle'tl "Elections and Legislation in Agriculture." Copies may be obtained by writing to him personally at 1411 West Olympic Boulevard, Room 501, LGS Angeles, Ca. 90015. So much for the history of this dispute over the free election issue. What's the present state of the question? The record is very clear. The UFW and the , California AFL-CIO have joined forces in supporting a free election bill which was introduced ·in the California Legislature on March 11 by Assemblymen Burton of San Franciscb and Alatorre of Los Angeles (Assembly Bill No. 3370. March II, 1974,. California Legislature, Sacramento, Cal.). Election Petitions The Burton-Alatorre measure would set up a full-time, three'member Agricultural Workers . Commission, named by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Under the terms of the bill, an election petition could be filed on a farm when the number of workers on the payroll is at least 50 per cent of the expected peak employment. Any union which wants to be on tqe ballot after an election is' ordered by the Commission can do so by getting cards signed by 10 per cent of the total number of workers expected at the peak of the harvest season. Harry Bernstein, labor reporter for the Los Angeles Times, reports that while there is disagreement about certain features of the Burton-Alatorre bill, "speculation is growing that the state soon may have a law designed to ease bitter farm labor battles." Bernstein quotes William Grami, director of Organization for the Western Conference of Teamsters, as saying that, while the Burton-Alatorre bill 'needs some modifications, "I bel,ieve there

PASSOVER SEDER: passover, the Jewish feast of deliverance celebrated by Christ on the night before he died, starts this year on April 7, marked by Christians as Passion or Palm Sunday. The word Seder means order or formal arrangement. At right, a table is set with all the Seder elements for a demonstration observance in Adas Israel Congregation, Washington, D.C. At left one of four cups of wine is lifted by Rabbi Stanley Rabinowitz who also holds up a matzah, praying, "This is the bread of affliction which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt .... This year we are here; next year in Jerusalem." NC Photo. is a good possibility of getting legislation now." The growers interviewed by Bernstein withheld comment pending formal release of the details of the bill, but several said unofficially that they cannot support such a measure if it dos not outlaw the boycott weapon which the UFW has used with more effectiveness than strikes. On the other hand, some growers have indicated privately that they are so anxious to get some kind of unionrepresentation law on the books so that they may either support the Burton-Alatorre measure or at least not oppose it if it does not contain what one called "any gimmicks." Having carefully studied the text of the bill, I would say that the growers have nothing to fear . in this regard. The bill doesn't contain any gimmicks. It's a first clean bill of its kind ever introduced in any state legislature. In other words, it's aimed exclusively at promoting free elections and isn't slanted either for or against the UFW. This oeing the case, I sincerely hope that the growers will either support it or at least not oppose it. Ditto for Pather Lyons. As one who claims to be in favor of free elections, he can rightly be expected to support the BurtonAlatorre bill and to urge his friends in the industry to do the same. If he opposes the bill or fails to push for its adoption, I for one would be compelled to conclude that he really isn't interested in free elections but is using the election issue polemically to harass the UFW.

Building's Sections Upon entering the building today, the areas on the first floor are usually identified with the washing of the feet of the apostJes by Christ prior to the Last Supper and His Resurrection. Now this area is occupied by the tomb of David and a museum containing the relics of Hitler's persecution of the Jews. There are strong indications that the room where the tomb of David 'has been placed was a very early Christian meeting place or church. Inscribed on the walls in Greek, there is graffiti 'which reads, "0 Jesus! Let me live, 0 Lord of, the Sovereign," 'and "Conquer, 0 Savior. Have Mercy." It appears likely that this may mark the site of that structure referred to by very early writers as "the little Church of God upon the spot," and called by Theodosius "the mother of all the churches."

Playoff Committee Realigns Schnolboy Football League Ever since the formation of the multi-team Southeastern Massachusetts Conference almost three years ago local schoolboy sports fans have been beseiged with one realignment after another.

Consideration is also giv~n to Realignment is back in the news. But, this time the Conference is not involved, it is the State. The Massachusetts Secondary School Principals Association last year voted to allow state championship football playoffs. For the first time a rating sys· tern was developed to determine the two top ranking teams in four different divisions. These two met in what has become known as the Schoolboy Super Bowl games. The Football Playoff Commit· tee operates wHh a set of guide· lines to establish the placement of leagues within divisions.

individual enrollment and past performance. The committee also attempts to balance the divisions by trying to place an equal num· ber of leagues dn each. Conditions vary from one year to the next, thus the committee has made provisions for change by realigning each year. The Playoff Committee along with the Executive Committee of the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association is charged with the task of reviewing all leagues and independent schools and making changes where dictated.

Largest Area Schools in Division II Because of changes in the avo erage enrollment of sehools in the Middlesex' League it was moved from Division II to I. Schools in the Catholic Central League will be eligible for Division IV next Fall ,instead of III again because of enrollment changes. Likewise Commonwealth Conference teams move from Division IV to III. The only school in Southeastern Massachusetts affected by the changes is New Bedford. The Whalers were classified as a Division I school when they were playing an indepen'dent schedule, but now that New Bedford is a member of the Southeastern Mass. Conference it is considered a Division II school along with all other Division I Conference teams.

Grid System Has Edge Over Basketball Eight schools within the conf,ines of diocesan territorial limits will we for Division II honors. All are members of the Southeastern Mass. loop. Eleven are in Division III, including defending champion North AttIeboro, Oliver Ames of North Easton and Mansfield of the Hockomock League and eight Conference teams. Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Prov,incetown of the Mayflower' League join six Conference teams in Division IV. The state rating system for football places teams of re,lative strengths against one another. For example, if Diman Regional of Fall River were t.o finish in a playoff position it would com· pete against a team that has played within the DiviS/ion IV

bracket. The system is fair and neither club would have a decided advantage. However, such was not the case in the recently completed basketball playoffs,' Diman, cochampion in the small school Southeastern Mass. Conference bracket, was forced to compete against the most formidable basketball schools in the state. In the basketball tourney schools are placed Jnto divisions according to male enrollment regardless of the league the school com· petes in. Diman, as an example . only, would have been in a more equitable position had it competed in Division IV rather than Division I. Perhaps the organizers of the state hoop tourney will take the lead of the football officials and implement a similar policy.
