Issues BuUetin On EcumernJ~~m VATICAN CITY (NC) - ThEil Vatican Secretariat for Promot­ ing Christian Unity has released the first issue of an information bulletin on developments and news in the field of Christian unity. In an introduction to the 25­ page Information Service, the head of- the unity secretariat, Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., wrote: "The time has come to keep the Church at large - episcopal conferences, ecumenical commit­ tees, ecumenical publications, in a word all·who are working for the cause of unity, as well as others who may come to .do so -regularly informed not only of the secretariat's work but also of work of general interest being accomplished by bishops and or­ ganizations within the Church." Cardinal Bea invited the va'­ rious groups involved to send in ideas and news to be used in future, issues. The service will not confine itself strictly to ac- . tivities of the secretariat but wi~l publicize other activities in the ecumenical field, including those of non-Catholic Christian bodies.

Catholics, Episcopalians Explore Idea

Of Co-sponsored Junior High

ATLANTIC CITY (NC)-Cath­ olics and Episcopalians in West Memphis, Ark., are exploring the possibility of co-sponsoring a private junior high school which would offer religious edu­ cation for both faiths and relieve the teacher shortage faced by Catholic and Episcopalian schools in the city. The school proposal is still in the "exploratory stage," Father William A. Beck, superintendent of schools for the diocese of Lit­ tle Rock, stressed, but he ex­ -pressed hope that it m.ight prove the answer to "keeping religion in the schools" in West Memphis. He said that the study, which was originated by the lay school boards of St. Michael's Catholic parish and Holy Cross Episcopal parish, has been given the ap­ proval of both Catholic Bishop Albert Fletcher and Episcopal Bishop Robert Brown of Little Rock. \ . St. Michael's church currently operates an eight-grade 'school but is facing a teacher shortage. Father Beck explained that the school cannot obtain a sufficient number of nuns' to staff it and although lay teachers have proved most acceptable the cost of salaries is becoming prohibi­

. When Pope Paul was gathering materi'al for his latest encyclical-"Populolum Progressio"-he put into the file ' .a note explaining its scope: "It is not a treatise, it is not a le'sson, and therefore must breathe Christian love . . . . It must be resolute and determined to orient the Church and the world." And in another note in the file he said, "There is need for the earth as a whole to be exploited thoroughly and rationally. When this is not the case, there is something wrong that must be remedied." This, then, is what the encyclical does - itJ.orients the Church and the world. Reasoning closely, weighing every word so that it carries the correct meaning and connotation, presenting the several sides of compleJt is­ ames in brief words, the Pope has presented to the world what could well be one of the great documents of the eentury. He speaks of all those things that are needed for man's complete, development-his aspirations, his respon­ sibility, his role in the community, the development of' civilization in the community, progress of man and the community, the seale of values that must guide both. In this process he speaks of property, violence, reform, literacy, family, growth, population problems. (How un­ fortunate that hatdly was the text released when many people tried to twist his words in this regard.) The Pope in this encyclical then speaks of the human , race as a whole and its oneness and development, with references to trade, world fund, international agreements, nationalism, racism, the young. Almost every paragraph of the text is food for study P'lI"iests, Nuns Amdl and thought and, ahove all, application.

TRENTON (NC)-New Jersey Gov. Richard J. Hughes has asked the state Senate education committee to schedule a QIJe-day public hearing on a controversial bill to expand school bus service for private school students. The Hughes request was a startling tl,lrnabout. Since, intro­ duction of the bill with hh( sup­ port in January, the governor had been adamant in his opposi­ tion to. public hearings, claiming that the principles behind' the bus legislation were well estab­ lished and that hearings would produce more heat than light. But mounting public pressure from civil rights and religious groups, coupled with an impend­ ing committee stalemate, led him to change his mind on the ad­ vice of legislative leaders. Scheduling the public hearing not only represented an about­ face by the governor but was also a departure from tradition. The measure - similar to one which died in committee a year ag(}-()riginated in the Assembly, which ordinarily would have held hearings had they been considered necessary. . In passing the measure 41-11 early in March the Assembly divided along party lines with the Republicans protesting the failure to hold hearings. Pressure from Governor Hughes had led! to its release from committee without hearings. are preparing for their annual dance that will have as its theme

"An Adventure in Paradise." The Monsignor McKeon De­

bate Society -will hold a cake sale on April 14 and 15, the proceeds of which will be used to under­ write the many expenses arising from the tournaments that the debating teams enter. On Saturday, April 8 the De­ bate Society will send teams to three different tournaments on different debate levels. Included in this tight schedule is a varsity crebate tourney at Eastern Naz­ arene and an intermediate tour­ ney in' Lawrence.

Testimony Before_ Subcommittee Brings Cuba Back into Picture WASHINGTON (NC)-In the midst of all the concerns about Vietnam, something has hap­ pened here to jerk national at­ tention rudely back to the threat communist Cuba poses in the Caribbean and all Latin Amer­ ica. Testimony taken less than a month ago by a Senate subcom­ mittee on internal security has been made public. It contains such observations as these: Military activities have in­ creased notably in Cuba since the "Russian-managed" Tri-Con­ tinental Conference was held in Havana in January, 1966. The conference established Cuba as the "forward base of subversion against the Free World," it was reported at the time. A witness, who had been re­ tained in a Castro ministry until last year because of his useful knowledge of the sugar indus­ try, reported seeing 4,000 Rus­ sian officers at one camp in the Province of Havana. 'Papers in Order' Some 20,000 Cuban-controlled guerrillas are believed to be in Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile and Venezuela. Peru has been chosen as a headquarters for this guerrilla operation, because it borders on five Latin American countries. "Counterfeit" boats are used to infiltrate Cuban-trained guer­ rillas, arms and supplies into Latin American countries. These are vessels built to pass for fish­ ing boats perculiar to the harbors of a particular country. Arms sealed in rubber contain­ ers and placed in lobster pots are

dropped in the waters of an In­ ·filtrated harbor and later pick~d up by a boat whose "papers are in order." ... Sooret MisslRes Elaborate tunnel systems have been carved out of Cuban moun­ tains, to secrete missiles, arms and stores. There are Russian-built mis­ · siles in Cuba. A Cuban-Russian. high-seas ·fishing fleet operates with s0­ phisticated electrical gear. Rus­ · sians command many of these vessels, and Russian crews are 'integrated with Cubans. Cuba receives arms from Russia, Czechoslovakia and Bel­ gium, and in turn has sent arms · to North Vietnam. Cuba has sent co'mplete SAM (ground-to-air missile) units to North Vietnam by way of Al­

Stresses WomenDs Role In Scheme for Peace

CINCINNATI (NC)-The Sec­ ond Vatican Council has raised the sights of Catholic women from their role in their own families to a role in the world family, Margaret Mealey de­ clared at the College of Mount St. Joseph here. The executive director of the National Council of Catholic f" 'men who received the col­ lege's Mater et Magistra award, saie this means that Catholic' women must "face our Christian responsibility to assure that the basic political, civil and human rights which are fundamental to human dignity are soon the lot of women everywhere, indeed of men and women." God's unique gift to women, Miss Mealey said, is the capacity

wounds, the comforter in distress and disappointment, the sharer of joy and sorrow, the peaceco maker." But, Miss Mealey continued" the council, through its Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity, has given "a basis for our con­ sideration 6f the role of woman in the world family, according to the Church's directives." Reminding that Pope Paul Vl! has said "development is the new word of peace," and has created! a Pontifical Commission for Studies on Justice .and Peace, Miss Mealey said Catholic women "fit into this scheme for peace" in three ways "as indi­ viduals, as citizens of an affluent " 1 Be: memb~rs 01 '" world order."

At least 17000 Africans-Con­ golese or Somalias - have re­ ceived training in Cuba. Former IDipnomats One witness, who had been Cuba's ambassador to a half­ dozen different countries before Castro took over and now lives in Panama, said Latin America "is being converted into a" vol­ cano." . Witnesses before the subcom­ mittee included persons who left Cuba as recently as t.he end of last year, persons formerly living and working in Cuba who utilize their special backgrounds as "Cuba-watchers" on the perim-­ eter of that country, former Cu­ ban diplomats, business and pro­ fessional men, and others.

Family Dialogue Within Churrch Council's "Revolutionary' IdelCJ WASHINGTON (NC)-Poten­ tially the most revolutionary idea of the whole Second Vati­ can Council is a system of "fam­ ily dialogue" carried out within the Church, the executive direc­ tor of the National Council of Catholic Men said here. This dialogue, "carried out with honesty, wisdom, good will, mutual respect and trust," can give the Church a new dynam­ ism, Martin H. Work, declared. Work was guest speaker at Dunbarton College of Holy Cross here for its second annual lec­ ture in memory of Mother M. Rose Elizabeth, founder and first president of the college. The Vatican Council laid the

foundation for the "apostolate of

public opinion in the Church,"

Work noted. "The chapter on the

laity in the Constitution on the

Church states in essence that the

laity not only have the right and duty to preach and teach, but that they, like the whole Church, recei ved gifts from the Holy Spirit. "Bishops were admonished to listen to the laity as an obliga­ tion of their office and to judge their value," Work said. "This led ... to the need for structures of dialogue in the Church so that the laity could be heard in an orderly and intelligent fashion." Dialogue Structures This will not only "reduce apathy and frustration but, most of all, it will help guarantee the continuing relevance of Chris­ tianity no matter how fast, or in what direction the world moves." Work identified pastoral com-­ missions, parish councils, and new forms of university and col­ lege boards of trustees as among the "structures for dialogue" within the Church. But he sa:d that the layman's DeW role of "co-responsibility" for the Church "requires more than mere structures of dialogue. It needs new structures for· the exercise of this shared responsi­ .wlitoY in aIIostolic actioD.

"Shared responsibility requires not merely the participation in programs decided upon by some­ one else - but shared decision making as well," to the full ex­ tent that theology permits, Work emphasized.

new series of -religion .textbooks is very practical llllld down-to­ earth in its presen,tation of the social teaching of the Church.

They feel that th(:y would be betraying the childr.en and their parents if they used the' ostrich technique and talk'l:d only in vague terms about Roving one's l!leighbor. They have met. these ,issues bead-on, both in the text, in 'the learning activities, and in the art work (which they b~lieve to be as important as the text in teach­ ing and forming attitudes). Specifically, they sh()w chil­ airen of different ra:ces playing . and working side by llide,'.laugh­ iDg together, etc. (It is hard to, believe, but there have been cases in which mo(thers have pasted other' pictureu over the faces of Negro children.)

'rhis particular lesson has been changed. The focus is not on Dr. King, but rather on the issue of civil rights, bringing out the idea that all Christians, of what­ ever color, who seek rights for others by' peaceful means are showing bravery. Mention is still made of Dr. King and his picture (a smaller one) is still in the text, together with a picture of the by now famous old Negro woman who sat in f~nt of the bus in Ala­ bama.,. Actually, the lesson is now, a ,stronger one. It is one whick the authors are prepared to stand by at any cost. ' They feel that if we fail to strive with all our might to give children in Catholic schoolll Christian attitudes on such is­ sues as the race question and civil rights, we might just as well quit calling our schools Catholic and stop pretending that we are really giving them religion in religion classes.

Unification of Resources

Needed in Latin Lands

From "SociaU RevoluUoD in the New Latin America" lEdited by John J. Considine, M.M.

Discussing Christian participat.ion in 'national planning lor Latin America, Rene Otero writes: It may truly- be said that the idea of planning for the development of Latin America was born of the conviction that 19th century economic and political liberal­ economy in general has experi­

ism was unable to generate enced marked growth, particu­

economic and social growth larly ouring the last two decades.

at the rate required and that But serious crises have fre­ ,

do achieve such growth it be­ <tame evident that the need ex­ isted for plan­ Ilhing the unifi­ eation of avail­ able resources. lIn many of Ute world's fi­ nancial centers, especially in the 1l1nited States, ahis reaction was thought to be a manifes-" tation of an ex­ tremist outlook

CIlalling for intervention by the

state in economic and social .processes of the nation, and it

was supported neither by gov­

ernment nor by entities which eould serve as possible -sou rces of financing for development. It was not until the United States had experienced the se­ vere economic and l>ocial prob­ !bems accompanying tine economic allepression of the 30's that the llmportance of a central'authority exercising some supervision of eConomic activity was recog­ Bired. The depression brought about a radic,al change in popular and etfficial attitudes in the United States leading to -greater partici­ Iltation by the federal govern­ lIlent in the management ()f the econoffiie process and! illuminat­ flog the need for initiating pm­ grams for development and 80­ <eial welfare to alleviate the con­ dition of the impoverished JIlasses.

Reatistie View

This evolution in 1he concept sf the role of the state in eco­ Illomic and social development as applied to Latin America signi­ fies a more realistic view of Latin America's problems and of the urgency for cooperation in the economic and so<.'ial growth .f the nation with greater em­ Ilthasis being placed on muHl­ nateral action. It was understood, 000, that the best method of achieving rapid and sustained economic growth and providing general social improvement for Ute people was to carry on this activity, whether und(lrtaken by the public or by the private sec­ \'lor, within a well defined frame­ work which could Ix) financed ~nder conditions suitable to the lrituation of each country. The communist ponicy insti­ \luted by Castro shortly after his assumption of power _was un­ doubtedly a factor hastening the acceptance of these principles Ilong supported by politicians and economists in institutilms repre­ aentative of Latin America. Crises Brought Planninc Another important factor in (lhe determination of Latin America to insist on planned eco­ Il'Omic and social development :was that the Latin American

quently arisen during this de­ velopment, the solution of which was to slow this trend, It has been noted that growth has been uneven among the va­ rious social sectors to the extent that most Latin Americans have enjoyed only a limited share of its benefits. Moreover, if we observe the high rate of popula­ tion, growth which is present precisely among the least fa-­ vored classel! of society, we shall find that year after year the number of, the unprivileged grows at a faster rate than that of the beneficiaries of develop­ ment. Under such _circumstances the ne-ed to institutionalize the plan­ ning and programming of devel­

opment becomes apparent as a· requirement for any sound eco­ nomic policy and for obtaining financial resources, This effort culminated with the holding of two important inter-American meetings. The first of these two was the meeting of, the Committee of the Twenty-one at Bogota in September 1960 where the mem­ ber countries of the inter-Amer­ ican system signed the Act of Bogota which constitutes "a total eHort to- raise the standard of living and social conditions of the peoples of the hemisphere. The second was the extraordi­ nary meeting of the inter-Amer­ ican economic and social council at Punta del Este in August 1961 where the Charter of Punta del Este was signed establishing the Alliance for Progress. Punta Del Este It is worthwhile to recall that in the Charter of Punta del Este appears the requirement "that comprehensive and well con­ ceived national planning of eco­ nomic and social development aimed at the achievement of self­

sustained growth be carried out in accordance with democratic

principles." In this regard it should be noted that since the Act of Bo­ gota _ the interdependence be­ tween social and economic de­ velopment has been firmly ac­ knowledged as an accepted prin­ ciple by all the countries of the inter-American system . . We may say, then, that it is an oHicially accepted principle that economic growth and social de­ velopment in Latin America will be accomplished more rapidly and more effectively through na­ tional and regional development planning. This principle will be even more widely accepted as experi­ ence -accrues to the agencies re­ sponsible for assistance in the preparatio~ of this planning.

The bishop said that he - knew that Europe was watching the signs of: ferment in his coun­ -try.

Speaking of the moves of the laity toward change, the bishop said that the Church in the Netherlands shared the aspira­ tions of the universal Church to

The bishop said that "secret" management of ordinary dioc­ esan and interdiocesan affairs ill no longer possible in the Neth­ erlands, and he expected the same development in other countries. He commended this situation; because, he said, the Second Vatican Council encour­ aged "open" episcopal adminis­ tration as sound and democratic. He also warned that, unless real responsibility is shared by the laity, suspicion and distrust by the faithful and the world will not be abolished and dia­ logue within the Church will be impossible.

EpiscopoI Bishop Outlines St,eps For Ecumenism

Const!l'u(bff $hrine

Of

JACKSONVILLE (NC)­ An Episcopal bishop outlined a six-step program here for improving ecumenism be­

r

tween Catholics and other Chris­ tians. Speaking to an audience o£ Catholic laymen and women in Bishop Kenny High School here, Episcopal Bishop Hamilton West of. Florida emphasized: "In the first place, you can realize that the question for this day and age is, not which is the true Church, but how can the Church come true « '" « There is l:I lot of hard spiritual work ahead for Roman, Orthodox, An­ glican and Protestant." Forget Enmities "A second thing that you and I can do is forget the enmities of the past, whose ancestors per­ secuted whom and for what rea­ sons, and concentrate on the future. Forget the human sin on all sides that brought about our divisions and concentrate on the virtues that will work for our unity." "A third thing we can do is lor each of us to work as hard as he can to make his own com­ munion as strong as he can. I want to work as hard as I can to make the Episcopal church a strong, powerful, pure, true ser­ vant bf the Lord. You should do the saine for the Roman Church." "A !fourth thing we can do is distinguish between things essen­ tial and' things non-essential. Ceremonies, the way you stand, sit, kneel, cross yourself are non­ essential. Vestments, candles, linens, books are non-essential. The Holy Scripture, the Creeds, the sacraments, the historic episcopate, these are essential and these do not change from one generation to another." , 'Unity, Uniformity "A fifth thing we can do is to distinguish between unity and uniformity. We do no want to make you like us, and we hope you do not want to make us like you 0 4> 0;. No one wants to be uni­ form with everyone else, but we would like to be in' unity with alL" . "A sixth thing we can do is to open our hearts and minds to the Holy Spirit, who wills the Church to be one. We hope that you will look at us not as we are, but we hope that you will look at us through the eyes of Jesus Christ and see us as we can be. , "And we should look at you through the eyes of Jesus Christ and see you as you really can be. lt is we who have separated the Church, It is the Holy Spirit, Who, working through open hearts and willing hands, will make the Church visibly One" Holy, Catholic and Apostolic." Bishop West said his. appear­ ance was to repay the courtesy of Catholic Archbishop Joseph P. Hurley, bishop of St. Augustine, who addressed the 123rd annual dinner of the Episcopalians in Florida.

Ecumenist Endeavor For Common Bible BERLIN (NC) - Under the IlJ)Onsorship of the Protestant Mld Catholic Bible Associations, German Protestant and Catholic Scripture scholars met for the first time to work on translations of sections of the Bible. The common translation will tirst be used at services in which both Protestants and Catholics participate, and will also be rec­ ommended for radio and tde­ *ion use.

Bishops' Stand Jibes With Encyclical Cites Government's Birth Control Role BRIDGEPORT (NC) - Pope Paul's treatment of government's role in birth control programs in his latest encyclical does not warrant "any major change" in the position taken by the U. S. Bishops at their annual meeting' in Washington last November, according to Bishop Walter W. Curtis, episcopal advisor to the Family'Life Bureau of 'the U. S. Catholic Conference. "The Bishops had in mind in their statement tine documents of the Vatican Council," he said, "and the encyclical did not modify this. Threat to Freedom "The American Bishops were concerned at the time to remind the government that it was not the government's task to promote contraceptive programs as public policy." In his encyclical "On the De­ velopment of Peoples," Pope Paul said that "It is certain that public- authorities ~an intervene (in attempting to check popula­ tion increase), within the limit of their competence, by favoring the availability of appropriate information and by adopting suitable measures, provided that these be in conformit)' with the moral law and that they respect the rightful freedom of married couples." In their statment last Novem­ ber, issued at the annual me'et­ ing of the U. S. Bishops in Wash­ ington, the Bishops warned that government birth control pro­ grams, 'especially when they are· tied to welfare and other aid, are a threat to the freedom of indi­ viduals and families. Bishop Curtis' comment on the encyclical came at the end of a statement on the Pope's treat­ ment of family life and demog­ raphy, in which the Bishop com­ pared the Pope's statements with those made by the Vat.ican Coun­

"Pope Paul," he said, "has un­ derlined clearly « * * a basic need of today's world, namely, a humanism open to the values of the spirit and to God who is their source. Individuals' Problem "Among the essentials for this true humanism is the family * 0) * It is in dealing with the family that the Holy Father speaks of population problems. It would be unfortunate to treat the popu­ lation problems only in the larger sphere of nations without recognizing that fundamentally it is a problem for individual families." " The encyclical, he noted, is not "significantly different" from the Vatican Council's, treatment of population problems. The Pope's comments on popu­ lation were hailed by a number of religious and civil leaders in the U. S. Praise Papal Stand Rabbi Jacob J. Weinstein, president of the Central Confer­ ence of American Rabbis, ex­ pressed the hope that the Pope's statement "gives hopeful promise that the other plans for economic order and universal justice will not be frustrated." Dr. Alan Guttmacher, presi­ dent of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, called the encyclical's statement "a very

great step forward." Responsible Parenthood. Father James McHugh, direc­ tor of the Family Life Bureau of the U. S. Catholic Conference, said the Pope "seems to be focus­ ing on a new dimension in re­ sponsible parenthood * * * can­ ing on spouses to fonnulate an understanding of their responsi­ bilities in the light of the re­ sources of the family unity and with regard to the demographic pressures of the over-all society." Father McHugh also noted that the Pope has warned nations not to concentrate on population control at the expense of other necessities of development,

ence in the quest for knowledge and truth;" he said. "Church ownership of a col­ lege facilitates the presence of the Church at the center of the' institution in order to offer its wisdom and its worship for those who freely desire it. The witness of the Church in institutions of public education; as for example, through the Newman Club, tends to be minimal and to be confined to the outer fringes of the entire meariingful enterprise of higher education. "Church ownership, however, provides a more central position for Christian witness and a greater potential for effectively influencing the values of stu­ dents. ' Burden on Student "The Mount St·.

Jeremiah F. O'Connor of Bergen County, sponsor of the bill. . The scholarships would be for a maximum of $500 a year; less if total tuition is under $1,000. There would be no limit on the number of thos~ eligible for as­ sistance, except that they qualify through need. In practice, the bill would benefit mostly students at pri­ vate institutions because the ma­ jority 'of sta~ institutions have t~ition costs below $500.

'PI'enty of SchooiboyAetion 'In Four Springtime Sports' By PETER BARTEK Norton High Coalth The baseball diamonds, tracks, and golf courses in and around Cape Cod wilJ see plenty of action this Spring as all eight Capeway Conference schools will participate in each of the three Spring sports. Golfers and trackmen have already begun their sessions, . ~d the diamondmen are field.

Five conference schools win open the seventh season of the Sou the a s t ­ earn Massachu­ setts Ten n i s Lea g u eon Tuesdaf, April 25. The Capeway baseball loop operates on a home-and-home basis with 14 gam e s sched­ uled for each ream. The new Peter league has made Bartek it _possible for Cape schoolboy baseball to be expanded. to where most schools play between 17 and 20 games whereas, in the past, the limit was nearer to 15 eontests. Allietta Eyes Flag Most coaches are optimistic l;lbout their prospects and feel the crown is "up for grabs." Bourne High always has been one of the better Cape baseball Dggregations and Coach Bill Homan hopes to add the Cape­ way Conference's first diamond ehampionship to the Cape title his club won a year ago. How­ ever, he will find it difficult to replace two fine players, short­ stop Jim Prete and catcher Gary Harding. Bob Iwasko and Roe Hadley appear to be the best returping candidates. Bourne will open the cam­ 'paign next Monday at Falmouth ,. against" Lawrence' High. Coach , "Joe Allietta has ·three .experi­ tmced pitchers in Paui Igram, Mike Rainnie, and Larry Ferrei­ ra ready to lead the Clippers to another conference crown. Law­ renee won the ieague' title in football and Winter track in the present scholastic 'year and it is favored to repeat in the Spring' track league. But, Allietta is not Feady to make any predictions about his basebilll club. The vet­ eran pilot has nine other letter­ men among the 40 varsity and junior varsity candidates, in ad­ dition to his pitchers, currently working out which provides the nucleus of a team Allietta feels will better last season's 9-9 rec­ ord. Indians Have' Talent Dartmouth High skipper Kevin CadieUx has 32 upper classmen and 15 freshmen trying out but only two experienced. pitchers are in the fold. Bob Thornley 'and Tony Abreu, according to Cadieux, will have to carry the pitching burden unless he can find some strong arms among the new candidates. Catcher Mills Davis who let­ tered as a freshman is back for his fourth season behind the plate, along with second basellI!lIan Bob Santos, shortstop Paul Dutra and third baseman Bob Cordeiro all experienced infield­ ers. They should give the Indians o ctllid defense which Cadieux hopes will get the club over early season hurdles until the hitters catch up with the pitchers. 'll'll'lMllIllllllenn Area lBIllllsy Dartmouth will open at Old Rochester where Coach Ronnie Normand has his boys preping for the initial contest in the school parking lot because of the poor drainage from the Bulldog's

The conference track teams which met for the first time yes­ terday, resume competition next Wednesday in the second of seven league meets. Wednesday's action pits Dennis-Yarmouth at Barnstable, Falmouth at Bourne, Wareham at Dartmouth, and Old Rochester at Fairhaven. Barrow and Blanchard The conference golf schedule, like baseball, is on a home-and­ home basis with 14 matches booked for each club. Golf is a sport which has gained more prominence in the last decade and it is slowly beginning to filter its way into the interscho­ lastic sports scene. The Capeway Conference is the first league in the area to recognize golf as a major Spring sport and to or­ ganize a program for all league members. Two of the best young golfers in the state will be seen in con­ ference action' this season. Howie Barrow of Fairhaven and Wayne Blanchard of Dartmouth are probably the finest dub swingers to be found on any schoolboy squad and their presence installs the Blue Devils and Indians as co-favorites to will the league crown. The home courses of the con­ ference teams are Dartmouth (Allendale), Old Rochester (Res­ ervation), Fairhaven (Elmwood), Wareham (Wareham Country Club), Bourne.. (Pocasset), Den­ nis-Yarmouth (B ass River), Barnstable (Hyannis Port), and Falmouth (Woods Hole Country Club). ' . , . . League matches .are scheduled' for' Mondays an,d T,hursdays. Today's'matches'Jfind Barnstable at' Dartmouth, l1'airhavtm at Bourne, Old' ~ocheste~ at Pen­ nis-Yarmouth and Falmouth at Wareham.' The docket for Mon­ day lists Falmouth at Barnstable, Bourne at Dennis-Yarmouth, Wareham at" Dartmouth and Fairhaven at Old Hochesftk Two TenJIJis Brackets Unbeknown to . .l)1any area spOrts enthusiasts, tennis is also a major Spring sport for 10 Southeastern Massachusetts high schools. On April 25, the South­ eastern Massachusetts Interscho­ lastic Tennis League begins its seventh season.' 'fhe league is divided into two divisions-Divi­ vision A, large schools and Divi­ sion B, smaller schools. Top Division schools include Durfee High of Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton and Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton. Division B consists of Msgr. Prevost. High of Fall River, Fairhaven, Dartmouth, Old Rochester, Barnstable and Lawrence High of Falmouth. The league, with 12 matches, is organized so that a team com­ petes twice against schools in its own division and once against school::;. in. the other bracket. Each contest cOJ1sists of five matches, three singles and two doubles, thus a team must win three of the five matches in order to win the overall match.
