VATICAN CITY (NC) - Peace is a problem of morals not of power, His Holiness said in his newest encyclical, urging "all men of good will" to strive for a peace based on love rather than on fear. Pacem in Terris is the first encyclical
addressed not only to Catholics but also to all men of good will. The closely reasoned
1l,OOO-word papal letter calls
for elimination of racism,
encouragement of ethnic mi
norities and voluntary estab
lishment ofa world authority capable of dealing with prob lems of the universal. common good on a worldwide scale. Dated today, Holy Thursday, but issued yesterday, Pope John's eighth encyclical analyzes the nature of peace, the means of attaining it and practical sug gestions for insuring it. . The opening sentence sets the t-one of the document: "Peace on earth, which men .of every era have most eagerly yearned for, can be firmly estab
lished only if the order laid
down by God be dutifully ob
served." Turn t-o Page Fourteen

(NC)-The
diocesan' synods of the An glican ChurCh here in New Zealand expected to discuss this year whether the Anglican Church will seek union with other churches in New Zealand. This was revealed in the April issue of the Anglican newspaper, Church and People. The synods will be asked to decide whether the Anglican Church should draw up a basis for union, even though eventual union may take many years. The Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational and Associated Churches of Christ have been engaged in unity discussions for some years.

Catholic School Closing Affects Public System WILLIAMSPORT (N C ) - The public school super intendent her e expressed concern over the announce ment that 50-year-old St. Mary's High School in this Pennsylvania eommunity will be discontinued JD June, leaving 208 students to be absorbed in the public high lebool system. . Jrlsgr. Leo J. Post, pastor, an nounced that the Catholic school will close because' the Sisters of Christian Charity,' .will discon tinue to staff the classrooms. Clyde H. Wurster, superin tendent of the area public .chools, said it is too early to assess fully what impact the closing will have on the public lehool system. He said 125 of the students will be absorbed in Williamsport High School and the others in neighboring senior and junior high schools. He estimated about six new teachers must be hired, and ad ditional instructional materials, furniture and other needs will eall for about a $50,000 added expense to the public schools as a result of the closing. He said the public senior and junior high schools already are crowded and the closing will worsen the situation.

to the eight newly-arrived novices. . They ;tte stationed at their original post in New Bedford's Our Lady of the Assumption parish and are also at St. Peter the Apostle, Provincetown; St. Anthony's, Mattapoisett; and St. Mary's, Fairhaven. In all these locations they are operating kindergartens and teaching cate chism. The Sisters have convents at Mattapoisett, Provincetown and in New Bedford, with the Fair haven religious living at Matta poisett. They are also active at Regina Pacis, New Bedford center for Puerto Ricans; and for two months they helped Cuban refugee children at St. Mary's Home in New Bedford adjust to English-speaking life. Founder Was Exile
Superiors at the three con vents are Mother Mary Faith in New Bedford; Mother Angelus at Mattapoisett and Mother Louisa at Provincetown. The Religious of the Love of God have their motherhouse in Zamora, Spain and number some 1,500 members in Europe, Africa and the Americas. They origi nally came to Fall River Diocese through the efforts of Rev. Ed mund Francis, SS.CC., pastor at St. 'Mary's' Fairhaven, who learned of their work during a visit to the Cape Verde Islands. The community was founded in 1864 by a Cistercian monk, Jeronimo Usoro y Alarcon. Driven from his monastery during the Spanish revolution of 1635, he worked in exile as a missionary to Africa, then to Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Spain he laid the foundation for such a community. History re peated itself when some mem bers of the Love of God Reli gious were, like their founder, exiled during the present Cuban unrest. The Sisters, again like their founder, are especially active in work with Negroes and in Latin America. They teach all grades from kindergarten upward and operate all types of social wel fare houses. Many Activities Their habit is a distinctive royal.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese ~f Fall River-Thurs. April 11, 1963
Victory over Death
Paradox of Christianity The paradox of Christianity was apparent on the Sec ond Sunday of Passiontide and is encountered at every turn as Christians relive, with Christ, the salvation plan of the Father during this Holy Week. This week began Sunday with the procession - th.e sign of success, of achievement, of victory. But the pro cession was headed by the cross - the symbol of pain, of agony, of death. And that is. Christianity's paradox - success coming through pain, victory coming through agony, life coming through death. . As Christ told the disciples on the road to Emmaus, it was necessary that the Savior endure all these things that He might enter into the glory of the Father. " The same is necessary for Christians. Holy Week calls upon them to die - "Know you not that you are dead, and your lives are hidden with Christ in God." . Christianity is 'not simply a creed or a code or a cult. Christianity is Christ - a Person. And Christ means the cross. Christians must die to themselves, to whatever in them is opposed to Christ, to the part of them that is un worthy and ignoble and unChrist-like. That is the "putting on Christ" that St. Paul exhorts his brothers in the Church to do. Nothing else is Christian. Nothing else leads to newness of life, to resurrection.

Chaplain Shortage The chaplain noted that a spe cial Mass is offered once each week for Catholics graduating from the -m.ining center at that time. At the Mass each sailor receives a departure blessing. Father Kelly remarked that 'fhe chaplains here "hate to see these men leave" because a shortage of chaplains means that many of them will be as signed to posts where no priest is availabe. He said the chaplain shortage is particularly acute at present because of retirements among priests . who have served with the Navy since before World War II.
Worthwhile Recipes Continued .:from Page Six Meaningful (?) Habits Isn't it surprisig to realize that many of our Easter habits are actually founded in the' Church's intent to teach this as sociation of Baptism and Easter? New Easter clothes, the Easter Parade, etc., all were rooted in . the happy practice of commemo rating the happiest .moment of a creature's life: adoption as a son of God! The custom of putting a white garment on a newly baptised Christian refered to the vesting of the new Christians in white linen. ~n early days, they would walk down into a baptismal font and be completely sub merged. in water (still done in many Eastern cnurches). Upon their arising, they would put on new white linen robes. The linen robes because of their richness and their color would signify even better what .had happened only a few minutes earlier in the font. The new' Christians would then wear these clothes proudly .for the entire Easter Week. On the 101 lowing Sunday (''in albis") the Christians would come to the services in white :for the first time. ' Re-evaluation Needed We have kept so many of these wonderful customs. But today they are lifeless for we do not animate them with their true meaning. New clothes are fine, but why? Because you are using the occasion to proudly celebrate your Baptism or to keep up with the Jones (or even outstrip them). On the Night of Nights when we celebrate the rising of Our Lord and all that that. means to His Church, the renewal of the Baptismal Promises must be real, heartfelt, resolute.

Remind$ Contentious Parents Children Are Sacred Trust
Calls- on Women To Help Christ,
,
By Father John L. Thomas, S.J. A8st. Soelolon Prof.-St. Louis UDiversltJ'
"My wife and I can't seem to agree on how to raise our children. Right now the major bone of contention is our 16-year-old daughter. My wife claims the girl can wrap me around her little 'finger and get anything she wants from .me. She also claims I same - what is best for the full andermine her authority as Christian development of your a mother by allowing her to children. You may disagree in applying go out or date against .her mother's wishes. I feel that my wife tends to be too strict in this regard, but that's not the main problem. How do you deal with a womam who thinks she's al ways rig h t?" You r problem IDustrates 0 n e poi n t that is oft e n over looked in dis cussing marital adjustment, Jack. Children can separate a couple' as well as anite them. Perhaps it would come closer to the truth to say that children may become a buffer as well as -. bond; that is, if a couple fail to work out a good adjustment as partners, they may tend, to see their children either as a primary source of individual consolation or as pawns to be manipulated in getting .even with each other. Both tendencies are escapes from the couple's real problem, and both ignore the sacred obli gation to regard children as per. eons in' their own right rather than as things at the service of others. CI'UI 01 Problem ' I think your last question in dicates the real crux of yoUr problem - "How do you deal with a woman who thinks she's always right?" As one of myoId professors used to say, "That's a mighty fine question!", What's the answer? WeIl",ln a concrete case, one would first have to know whether the per eon in question really thought ehe was always right. Some wives give this impres Ilion either because they never eonsult their husbands, or be cause they have tried and re ceive no advice, or because they or their partner ---., or both have never learned how to dis cuss a problem on the basis of its objective merits. ' lD1n!ediate Problenm In other words, some partners say they never bother to consult their mates because it doesn't do any good - either they get no answer, or discussion has always proved fruitless. Their partners would prob ably retort that they don't give any advice because experience has shown it wouldn't be taken, and discussion is bound to be fruitless when one partner has already decided what the out come must be. ' Although the basic issue be tween you and your wife is not primarily disagreement con cerning how to raise your chil dren, this is an important, im mediate problem and its solution may point the way toward. a better understanding of the real .aurce of trouble. Basic- Princi~1e GOd bas confided your ehi1 dren to you .. a sacred tnut.

this principle in individual cases, and this will call for sincere dis cussion and compromise; but the principle itself is not open to question. Primary Concern How should you tackle' your immediate problem? First you should be aware that there are several factors in your favor. Your wife seems prudently con cerned about your daughter's social activities, so you don't have to contend with the typical mother-daughter combination in this regard. Also, your children apparently

various permissions.
Second, you' should weigh thoughtfully your wife's conten tion that you undermine her authority. Per hap s without thinking, or because you feel she is too independent, you have countermanded her orders arbi trarily and without considering their mer(ts. This is wrong - the good of
your children should be your
primary concern. You must find
other ways of settling your dif
ferences as a couple.
Discussion Compromise Third, have you and your wife ever discussed or developed an overall plan relating to the social activities of your children at the various stages of their development? .A.t what ages should they start , dating? How often? With whom? Under 'what conditions? With what preparation, instruction, guidance, etc? Through discussion and com promise - always with the in dividual child's best interests in view - you must reach some 'agreement on' these questions, for routine, day-to-day, con sistent decisions can logically be made only in terms of this over 'all plan. Ur~es United Front Fourth, whatever your per ,sonal disagreements, you and your wife must present a united front in dealing with your children, or they will use your perceived' differences to their, advantage, as your wife insists your daughter is now doing. Children should be raised with the awareness that their parents are partners in running the family, not competitors for their children's affection. Finally, you and your wife must keep in mind that the seriousness of your parental obligations demands that you reconcile yout:' personal differ ences in dealing with your chil- ' dren. Children are a sacred trust, not sources of personal gratifi cation or pawns to be manipu lated by parents in a continuing struggle for dominance.

"If you are conscious of the importance of your responsibil ities at home, you will not shirk them because you are working 'for the Faith outside your home," commented Mrs. Joseph McCarthy of San Fran cisco. "The Blessed Mother was very young when she was given the greatest 'responsibility anyone could have," she added. Mrs. McCarthy, here for an NCCW leadership training insti -tute, stressed that Catholic women have an obligation to work for the cause of Christ. "In Baptism we are made Christians.

that he had corrie to the U.S. "with a private diplomatic mis sion from Pope John." The President of the Secre tariat for Promoting Christian Unity had a special statement issued on his behalf in which he denied the report, published in the April 5 issue of Time magazine, on the day of his de parture for Rome. The state ment was given to the press at the Washington National Airport shortly before the Jesuit Cardi nal enplaned for New York en route to Rome. That morning he had received an honorary de gree from the Catholic Univer sity of America. Invent,on The statement Issued on be half of the C~rdinal said: "Re garding the news published by Time magazine in the April 5 issue about a supposed 'private diplomatic mission from Pope John,' His Eminence Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., following a convocation at the Catholic Un· iversity today, stated 'that the mission attributed to him is a mere invention.' "In fact the Cardinal said h~ had Jl() diplomatic mission what ,soever and moreover he never made the statement to 'a friend in Rome 'before his trip' also men~ioned in the Time. article."

Principals of all diocesan schools have been instructed to carry out the integration plan beginning with the next school term. The letter did not men1!on high schools or private ac~e" roie's. Memphis, with a population of half a million, is the largest city in Tennessee and the fifth largest in the South. Half of the Nashville diocese's approximate ly 80,000 Catholics live in the area.

a household affair. Final Attitude Many of these, almost· certain. ly, died as saints and martyrs. But as to the circumstances of their fi~al witness, how they died, how they behaved them selves in their last moments, there is literally nothing. There is nothing quite so horrible in human history as the story of the death camps of Austria and Poland. There was the utter ne· gation of everything human, the stripping away of the last ves tige . of man's dignity. . MISS Hannah Aren~t, speakmg for the Jews who .dIed in th~se charnel~houses, refers to the SID gular llstlessness which seemed to prevail ~mong the condemned, as though It were a matter of no importance that they were to be simpl~ herded li~e naked cattle to their doom.

her personality and her judg ments, of her credentials for .sanctity, no less than in the . scrutiny of the miracles attrib . uted to her in tercession. The Church is never iii. 0 r e exhaus tive than in her testing of those proposed for the honors of her altars. It seems, actually, \ - that an item which delayed the process of Mother Seton (like the Venerable Bede it is unlikely that we shall ever quite get 'Used to calling her by her proper title) was the fact that the good priest who gave her conditional Baptism in old St. Peter's Church on Barclay Street, New York, simply forgot to record the event in the parish books. . A lesson this for all absent minded cl~rygnien, who might thus unwittingly obstruct the _ c:anonical process for other celes tial candidates. A small matter, yet fraught with large responsi bilities. Modern Martyrs I It may be questioned, however, whether in time to come It will be possible for the Church to document the acts of her mar tyrs and confessors at least to the extent heretofore deemed necessary. We are thinking, for example, of those countless holy sou~ who gave up their lives-or who are even now saerificing them-in the teeth of our modern tyran. nics. It is estimated that approx. imately one million Christi!1ns were martyred in the persecu. tions of the Early Church, pal'" ticularly ill that of Diocletian, who brought the bloody business to its climax. Not all of those who died thus' • • were saints ipso facto though it may be su'pposed th~t a great many of the nameless ones come in for special mention in heaven on All Saints' Day. Some may have died regretting their deci. sion' we have no way of know ing 'really , Left Record But the point is that these peo. pie died, or were martyred, in such a way as to preserve their human integrity right up to the end, in such a way as to im. ,press history _ represented by the very bystanders _ by their courage or their cowardice. They made a mark, they left a record. They were saints or sinners. Modern methods have successfully done away with all this. Bow many victims did the Nazl-Communist persecution of the single d"ecade, 1935-1945, ac count for? It is fairly well estab Ushed that between five and six million .Jews were sacrificed. to Hitler's insane policy at geno dde, and it is reasonablY certain t'hatthe Christians, 'principally, Palish, who were similarly' done away with in the death campll, total more- than .two :miIilon. We do not suggest here, inci. dentally, ·that only the Christians who died 'thus .have received the' honors of heaven--so much more .tlsfactory even than the 'hon of the Church.

Thomas was indeed a doubter, for he did not accept the testimony of the other Apostles who witnessed the Resurrection. Bat Thomas should live not just asa doubter, but as the spokesman' of broken hearts and anxious minds, for he would accept no other God but Him Who stumbled to a' throne. And if was only the Wounded Christ Who appealed to Thomas, so also it is only the Wounded Church that will appeal to the world. A Christ without scars would never have conquered the Roman Empire' and a Church without scars will never ~ilquer Asia and Africa. Now that Lent is over, let there not be a return to old ways of life, for even the Risen Christ ou Easter wore not '" wounds but scars. We beg you, then, to . be scarred Christians - scarred in hands from sacrifices; scarred in fe~t fpom wandering in thought out, of your prosperous America to the hungry Asiatics; scarred in side, as your heart is wounded not in g.etting but in giving. The reason missionaries make more conver~, than we do in the United States Is because they have more scars of poverty, suffering and' need.

Relations Between States Applying the moral law to relations between states, the Pope said that such relations Ipust be harmonized in truth and justice, in working solidarity and freedom. Truth requires, in relations between states, the elimination "of every trace of racism." This recognizes the "principle that all political communities are equal in natural dignity." Noting that human beings are essentially equal despIte dif ferences in knowledge, virtue, riches ()r genius, the Pope"llaid: "Political communities can differ among themselves in their level of culture, civilization or economic ,development. "But this can never justify the fact that some states .should make their superiority prevail unfairly over others. It can con stitute instead .a reason for them to feel more committed to the task of general improvement. "There are no human beings who by nature are superior. or inferior, but all human beings are equal in their natural dig-< nity: Consequently, neither are, these pol i tic a I communitiel! which by nature are inferior. All political communities are equal in their natural .dignity since they are bodies whose lir.:bs are formed by human
The basic principle of the en eyclical, as outlined in the first part, is that every human being is a person with rights - and duties. Society can be considered to be founded on truth when the beings themselves:" rights and duties .of each subject Justice Desirable ,to each other are sincere Touching oil justice in rela ]y recognized, it states.

THE ANCHORThurs., April 11, 1963
Pacem in Terris Encyclical Theme of Pontiff1s Reign VATICAN CITY (NC) -The Holy Week encyclical of Pope John is the cap-stone of the Pon tiff's life-long effort to beckon men and nations to peace. His blueprint to guide all men of good will who wish to make a personal contribution toward peacl!! climaxes a constant theme not only in his life as Pope, but from his days as a youthful chaplain on the front lines dur ing World War I. As Pope, he has pleaded for peace virtually from the moment of his election. His first public address-delivered only hours after he was chosen Pope in October, 1958 - asked world leaders to hear and reply to the appeals of their people for peace. His personal understanding of men's desire for peace was sharpened when he saw the hor rors of war first-hand in 1915 as a medical orderly and later chaplain in the Italian Army. The 34-year·old priest-drafted from his quiet life as secretary to the bishop in his home town of Bergamo and a professor at the local seminary-never forgot what he saw and experienced. Still obviously moved by the recollection of it as he neared his 78th year in 1959, he told an audience then: "The service we performed as chaplain in wartime hospitals is unforgettable. It allowed Us to gather from the groans of the wounded and sick the universal aspiration ior peace, the su preme good for mankind." This aspiration guided the Pontiff during· World War II which he spent as Apostolic . Delegate to Greece and Turkey, a post to which he was assigned in 1934 and held until 1944. Saved Jews From his headquarters in Is tanbul, then-Archbishop Ron calli, lent continued assistance
to Jewish rescue missions, saving many Jews from persecution by Slovak, Bulgarian and Hungar-, ian nazis. Among his actions was a successful 'effort to divert a shipload of Jewish children from what would have been a tragic destination. Every Christmas address given by Pope John has stressed p'eace and has urged all to pray for it. He speaks of it constantly in audiences. His solemn documents reflect his concern. In all, he has renewed his impassioned plea on more than 30 occasions. Cuban Crisis In October of' 1962 he made a surprise broadcast the day after the United States announced its blockade against offensive weap ons in Red Cuba and during the time the Red Chinese intensified their invasion of India. The Pontiff begged political leaders to continue negotiations. "Let them do everything in their power to save peace," Pope John said. "By so doing, they will spare the' world the horrors of a war that would have disastrous consequences such as nobody could foresee * * * Let them con tinue to negotiate * * * at all lev els and at all times." As the immediate threat of armed conflict over the Cuban crisis eased, the Pope told a gen eral audience on Oct. 31 tha,t "peace is knocking at our doors." The Pontiff's concern for peace also played a part in his decision to convene the historic Second Vatican Council. In his bull, Humanae Salutis, issued in De cember, 1961, he said: "Finally, to a world lost, con fused and anxious under the constant threat of new fright ful conflicts, the forthcoming council is called upon to offer an opportunity for all men of good will to turn their thoughts and their intentions toward peace."
Pope Calls Peace Probl'em of Mo-rals
Continued from Page Fourteen authority should be able to operate efficaciously but at the same time its action "must be inspired by sincere and effec tive impartiality. It must be an action directed toward satisfying the objective requirements o~ the universal common good." The Pope identified this uni versal common good as the "recognition, respect, protection and promotion of the rights of the human being." Principle of Subsidiarity Such an authority should be established only by common agreement, the Pope noted, and should be based on the principle of subsidiarity. This prinlliple holds that it is an injustice, a grave evil and a disturbance of right order for a larger and higher organization to arrogate to itself functions which can be performed efficiently by smaller and lower bodies. "Its objective instead is to contribute toward the creation on a world level of an environ ment in which the public powers -,f the single political commun ities; the respective citizens and the .intermediate bodies can carry out their tasks, fulfill fheir duties and exercise their rights with greater security." In line with this idea, the Pope cited the existence of the United Nations and particularly its approval of the Declaration of Human Rights. Referring to the declaration, he noted that there are certain objections and justified reser vations about various points of the document. Yet "there is no doubt, ,however, that the docu ment marks an important step on the road toward the juridical political organization of the world community," he said. The Pope said he hopes that "the organization of the United Nations in its structure apd pos sibilities may con for m con stantly more to the greatness and nobility of its tasks; and that the day may come when in dividual human beings may find In it an effective protection for righta which arise directly from

for spanning the gap between secular and religious knowl edge." Bishop Francis P. Leipzig of Baker, speaking to delegates and chaplains from ten colleges and universities in the Northwest, declared: "This is the time in your life when you must be searching for the reasons underlying the doc~ trines of Faith which you have accepted on the authority of the Church alone," Bishop Leipzig told Newmanites in a sermon at a Solemn Mass at which Port land's Archbishop Ed~ard D. Howard presided. "Since we live in a pluralistic society, the state tax-supported university and college cannot enter into the controversy of re vealed religion. The only avail able instrument (to make the history and logic and erudition of Catholicism available on the secular campus) is the Newman apostolate," Bishop Leipzig com mented. He pointed to problems of Newman groups in having too little time for discussion and so cial action groups for students carrying 16 to 18 class hours a semester. He said "perhaps, someday, our students will be able to take accredited courses· through a Newman center to al leviate this strain," adding the Newman apostolate "is not meant to be just a phase in your life' -but it is meant to be a conver sion and transformation which will develop all of your life."

On entering the tomb,' they saw a young man seated at the right, dressed in a white robe; and they were frightened. But he said to them: ·'Do not be frightened.

Faithful Ready to Worship· Risen Saviour Cross and Redemption Are Lenten Climax Continued from Page One . noon devotions in honor of the Three Hours Agony. Now the liturgical service is to begin ideally at three o'clock, the tra ditional hour of the Lord's death.· Wherever. pastoral interests dic tate the necessity of changing the time, the ceremonies may be held· at another hour between noon and nine in the' evening.
I·
-.
The simplified services com memorative of the Passion and Death of the Lord fall into four distinct parts:' 1) the reading of "the lessons and the passion ac count,2) the solemn prayers, 3) the veneration of the cross, and 4) -the Communion service. The first of these, the read ings, commences with a lesson by the Prophet Osee. He an,. nounces a resurrection on the third day. Christ's death must be viewed in the light of His sub sequent return to life. By His passage from death to life we !have been enabled to pass from the death of sin to the life of grace. Then follows an account from the Book of Exodus des cribing the preparation of the Paschal Lamb. The Chosen Peo: pIe marked their doorposts with its blood, and the Angel of Death passed over their homes, killing only the firstborn among the Egyptians during the Tenth Plague. The terrified Egyptians then liberated the cap t i v e Chosen People. In the third reading, we are presented St. John's record of the sufferings and death of Christ. Just as by the death of the Paschal Lamb the C h 0 sen People enjoyed a passover from the slavery of Egypt to the free dom of the 'Promised Land, so also by the death of the Lamb of God we enjoy a passover from the bondage of Satan to the liberty of the sons of God. The solemn prayers,' or "the praye~ of the faithful," follow the passion. Christ died for all and now the Church prays for ~ all classes and needs of the church and mankind. There are nine separate prayers. Before each the celebrant vested in a black cope announces the inten tion all kneel and pray for it in • 11y their, own words, and fma . t while everyone stands the prIes sings a "collect," collecting the prayers of the entire congrega tion in one prayer. This striking participation by all present is characteristic of the restored Holy Week ceremonies. The veneration of the Holy Cross comprises the third part of the Good Friday services. This rite ,originated in Jerusalem after the finding of the True Cross by St. Helena and soon spread to the Western Church. After being borne in solemnly, the crucifix, covered since Pas sion Sunday, is unveiled in three stages. Each time the celebrant, aided by his ,ministers, sings: Behold the wood of the cross on which hung the Savior of the world. After each exclamation, all humbly kneel to venerate the Cross of our salvation, and re spond: Come, let us adore. __ After the celebr~nt and his assistants have venerated the Cross, it is brought to the altar rail where all approach and adore, one by one, or, where good order demands, it may be held up for all to bow down and adore from their pews. During the veneration, the choir sings , the "Reproaches," - in which Christ reproaches us, His people, for our ing,ratitude to God for the numberless benefits He has eonferred upon us. Faithful Receive The Good Friday services con clude with the newly restored Communion for all the faithfuL For years only the priest re ceived on this day, but such was not the practice in the earlier ages of the Church.

and mink-scarved a u die Dee found the tour enchanting and the hostesses were grateful to the many who trod their oriental rugs in flat-heeled shoes. Course of the trip was con fined to homes in the St. Law rence-St. James parish area. Re ceiving guests were Mrs. John W. Glenn, whose dining table symbolized Advent; Mrs. Edwin Livlngtone Jr., Christmas and Epiphany; Mrs. Arthur F. Buck ley, Holy Thursday; Miss Mar garet Z. Considine, Good Friday; Mrs. John Duff Jr., Holy Satur day; Mrs. Roland F. Mathieu, Easter; Mrs. Eugene P. La France, Pentecost; Mrs. Edward W. Galligan, Corpus Christi, and Mrs. Paul J. McCawley, the Cana Feast. Tea and coffee were served at the County Street clubhouse after the tour. Featured there was Rev. George I. Saad, pastor of Our Lady of Purgatory Church, New Bedford, who di~ played vestments used in his church. Father Saad commented periodically during the after noon on' the major differences between the Latin and Maronite rites of the Catholic church. Mrs. James M. Kearney and Mrs. Thomas P. Barry were co chairman of the event; Mrs. Wil liam P. Walsh supervised the home decorations and Mrs. John W. Whelan was in charge of tickets. A narrator explained the sig nificance of each feast at the nine homes and liturgical music proper to' the season observed was used in the background. A brochure explained the symbols in each home. Among highlights of the tour was Mrs. Galligan's Corpus Christi dining room. Displayed were a gold monstrance studded with rubies and amethysts, and a gold chalice, loaned for the occasion by Bishop' James J. Gerrard, V.G. Her table setting was of royal blue with gold bands, and sherbets and 'water' goblets in gold banded crystal (a wedding present of 50 years ago). The centerpiece was of wheat and grapes, the symbol of the Holy Eucharist. One candle trimmed with a sheaf of wheat reminded that the grain dies to bring forth fruit, as did Christ that the dead may live. The centerpiece was sur rounded by figures of keeling children attended by their guar dian angel presenting the image of the words, "Except ye be as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." The Holy Eucharist also was honored with a little girl's First Com munion dress, her wreath, veil. prayer. book and rosary.

On her feast, day, Dec. 13 the eldest daughter of the house plays the role of St. Lucy and crowned with a wreath of lights, serves a Swedish cof fee ring topped with .candles to her family. Also on display was the Advent tower with its seven windows. ' Small but beautiful"poinsettias topped the dining room mantel _of the Livingstone home where Christmas and Epihany were de .picted. Red carnations were used at the ta1)le set with flowered china and crystal. In the two rooms on display were the Jesse tree honoring Jesse, the ancestor of Christ; the Christ candle to light the way of the Holy Family; the creche; the blessed Christmas wafer eaten to promote brotherly love; the Epiphany b I e s sin g, the crowns of the three kings and the king's cake. (The latter bore a minute thumbprint of a curi ous Livingstone child.)
Symbolic Pretzel Starkly simple and emotion ally compelling was Miss Con sidine's Good Friday dining room where the eye was caught instantly by a crown of thorns at one'side of the table. As the altar.is stripped on Good Fri": day, so was the dining table. The beautiful patina of' wood was the only ornament. A hot croS8 bun and a pretzel were the cli max of the meal. The bun is an old English cus tom which started in 1225. The pretzel is an important Lenten food symbol. Its shape is sym bolic of arms crossed in prayer, the posture of prayer in the early church. Being made' of flour and water only,the pretzel reminds that Lent is the time of fast. Center piece of Miss Con-. sidine's table was a Bible and crucifix. Mrs. Glenn's Advent table was centered with an evergreen Ad vent wreath, the circle sym bqlizing eternity and God. Within the circle· were three purple candles and one of rose, representing the four weeks of Advent. The purple tapers are for penance and the rose, re j01cing. The table was set with violet and white china and amethyst goblets. There was an empty manger to be furnished during Advent with straw for the Christ Child,

The proposed legislation notes this aim has been "ser:lous ly impaired" in recent years by "a . growing practice" among. some businesses to engage in Sunday selling. The bill exempts from its ban sales for charitable purposes or. .for "immediate health and safety . needs," including such items as drugs, insecticides and in.fant supplies other than fur niture and clothing. It would permit the sale of a number of items for rest and recreational-purposes, including sporting equipment, cosmetic., and lawn and garden supplies.
