school emphasized the changed Catholic attitude in the ecumen­ ical movement.

There has- been a com­ plete reversal of roles," Dr. Lindbeck noted, recalling that the Protestants were the first to take the intiative while Catho­ lics shied away from contacts.

"But in the future we might have a situation which finds Catholics taking the initiative while the Protestants prove re­ luctant," he said.

In the accelerated pace of ecti­ menism, Dr. Lindbeck acknowl­ edged there is a lack of man­ power and resources which con­ tribute to the Protestant lag.

Monday Meeting Is to Complete Appeal Plans At 3 next Monday after­ noon, April 26, aU pastors, assistants, parish chairmen, trustees and interested lav­ men will meet in the J es;U; Mary Academy auditorium to make final plans for the 1965 Catholic Charities Appeal.

"The Catholic Charities Ap­ peal of 1965," Taunton Atty.

Richard K. Martin, lay chairman said today, "will be dedicated to His Excellency, Most Rev. James L. Connolly. On May 17, Bishop Connolly will begin his fifteenth year as Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River. His accomplishments during that time in the area :>f charity have been simply as­ tounding.

"It is our hope that through Monday's meeting we can organ­ il';e this year's Appeal as a mem­ orable tribute to Bishop C:>n­ nolly, the Bishop of Charity. The finest tribute we can pay Bishop Connolly is to raise a total i.n this year's Charities Appeal that will make it possible for him to carry out his commitments and dreams for Charity."

I .

Dr. Lindbeck said the Catholte turning point in ecumenisJll stemmed from the Second Vat­ ican CounCil. He said the Churclt has "given up the attempt to de­ fend the past and is freeing it­ self for an aggiornamento, a J.'e4 tu.rn to ,sources."

Dr. Lindbeck is among the Lutherans who will discuss the Nicene Creed with a team of Catholics. He said these studies are not intended to lead to any­ thing more than an increasecl appreciation of the understand­ ing each confession brings .. the doctrine involved.

Interviewe~ after he gave a lecture at First Lutheran Churcll here, Dr. Lindbeck said "we don't anticipate anything from the talks any more than we an­ ticipate anything from tiM Lutheran-Presbyterian conver­ sations" which have been iR progress for two years.

Dr. Lindbeck said Catholic re­ form is going beyond what Luth­ erans feel they accomplished and approaching what Martin Luther. himself, wanted. He expressed the belief that Catholic liturgical changes are just beginning.

"Catholic worship now is no longer a spectacle but a mattell' of participation in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ," he said. "It has a richness and emo­ tional power which many Prot­ estants would envy."

VATICAN CITY (N C ) Spain's Angel Cardinal Herrera y Oria of Malaga has been pre­ sented with his cardinal's rinl

by Pope Paul VI in a delayed ceremony in the Vatican palace chapel of st. Mathilda.

The ceremony was delayed because the cardinal remained by tradition in Spain to receive his biretta from the chief of state, Generalissimo Francisco Franco, while the 26 other new cardinals gathered in Rome for the February consistory.

Present for the latest ceremo­ nies were the cardinal's relative8 as well as Antonio Garrigues y Diaz Canabate, the Spanish am­ ,bassador to the Holy See, and the mayor of Malaga.

The Pope paid tribute to Car­ dinal Herrera's zeal and work in cultural and educational fields in his diocese, and also to Spain'.

Oh.u Lay Teachers Get Pay Increase YOUNGSTOwN (NC)-Bish­ op Emmet M. Walsh of Youngs­ town has granted a five per cent wage increas~ for all lay teach­ ers in Catholic elementary schools and a liberalization of lay teacher scholarship benefits.

He said the increase will bring lay teachers' ~alaries to 85 per cent of the wage ~tandard set for their public school counterparts.

The new scholarship subsidy plan calls for a $1,400 grant-loan to persons who' pledge to teach two years in Catholic elemen­ tary schools. Half of the fund • an outright gift and the remain­ der is loaned interest free.

Auxiliary Bishop James W. Malon e , superintendent of schools, said the pay scale and scholarship revisions have been made to counter the teacher dropout problem and to attraet better teachen.

Journalist Sees Church

Only Hope Against Communism

CINCINNATI (NC)-A Bud­ dhist diplomat-journalist de­ clared here that "the only hope for the· world against commu­ nism is the Catholic Church."

Tran Van Dinh, former acting ambassador from Vietnam to the U. S., told a Xavier University forum audience that his nation's war against the Viet Cong "can­ not be won with the present stratergy."

That strategy, he explained, is to "win the war first and meet the people's needs second."

"Our government has to rec­ ognize that this is a war for the minds and hearts of people," he said. j'We must have a positive social program."

Providing jobs for the unem­ ployed, decent housing for poor city-dwellers, land reform for the peasants, reliable water sys­ tems--all this is of greater im­ portance than the military prob­ lem, according to Van Dinh.

Complex Issues While he does not believe in yielding to tht. communist ag­ gressors, Van Dinh expressed the view that the bombing of Viet­ nam could be a hopeless enter­ prise and serve to unite the pea-

"Besides," he said, "people tend to oversimplify complex issues."

In North Vietnam, for example there are a million Catholics, he said. Moreover, of the Viet Cong aggressors, "at the most, 30 per cent are communist." he added.

Van Dinh lauded the "pro­ gressive spirit" of Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI. Scion of a family which has been Buddhist for at least ten gener­ ations, Van Dinh said the Cath­ olic Church is the chief bulwark against commUnism.

Californian Cites College Pursuit In World Today

THE ANCHORThurs., April 22, 1965

Swelling College Ranks Increasing Church Problem

NEW YORK (NC) '"Never in my quarter cen­ tury in higher education has the value of college residence

NEW YORK (NC) - In "these days of ecumenism and American pluralism" the historical, defensive, justi~

or of a church college been lower on the open market." , This was the declaration of Louis T. Benezet, president of Claremont (Calif.) Graduate Schools and University Center, in his talK at the 62nd annual National Catholic Educational Association convention be i n g held in this city this week. .

n10re Hard Headed "We must examine with can­ dor why this should be so," the California e d u cat 0 r asserted, saying: "The temper of the times is against us. Knowledge is rated more important than the process or setting involved in knowl­ edge."

"To an extent we are battling out on college campuses the question whether there is room for any kind of belief as a pre­ condition for learning."

Additionally, he said, colleges face "perhaps the most permis­ sive generation in United States history," one adjusted to "un­ limited communication" which prevents colleges from shielding students froin a true picture of eurrent society. . "We are trying to educate a ~udent generation which is aware at once of the brutality, misery and folly being perpe­ trated by human beings, both Christian and non-Christian," he noted. Students, he averred, thus find it harder to believe in a "synthetic campus society."

Residential colleges, which Benezet made the focus of his remarks, need to be "more hard­ headed" in studying their make­ up and processes. For example,· l,te said, they should check whether high tuition costs are "homogenizing" ~ h e i r student bodies along the ·same socio­ economic lines.

Asks State Control, Of Private Schools DES MOINES (NC) - Rep. Harold Fischer of Wellsburg has proposed an amendment to the school law pending in the' Iowa Legisiature which would place parochial and private schools· under jurisdiction of three public bodies.

The amendment would place the schools under the Iowa Board of Public Instruction, the State Superintendent of Public In­ struction and the various county superintendents of schools.

The Fischer amendment was attacked by a number of sup­ porters of the bus bill. Jim Col­ lison, executive director, Iowa Citizens for Educational Free­ dom, said it would not modify the bus bill, but "transfer the private schools into a sort of quasi-public institution, com­ pletely dominated by state authority."

Vt. Catholic College Honors Protestant WINOOSKI PARK (NC) Rev. Dr. Douglas Horton, dean emeritus of the Harvard Univer­ sity Divinity School and a Prot­ estant observer at the Second Vatican Council, has received his first honorary doctorate from a Catholic college-St. Michael's here in Vermont.

The doctorate of humane 'let­ ters was awarded at a special academic convocation. Fat her Gerald E. Dupont, S.S.E., college president, said the degree was conferred on Dr. Horton "to witness our high esteem for his outstanding contributions to the cause of ecumenism and our own earnest commitment to this cause,"

Catholic Colleges Facing Challenge Jesuit Sees Need for Added Strength NEW YORK (NC)-National Catholic educators, here in at­ tendance at the 62nd annual ed­ ucational association convention, are agreed that there will be a Catholic college in your future but that new strength must be infused in the present Catholic colleges and universities if they are to retain the distinctive stamp that marks their Catholic education.

'However, despite many pre­ dictions that the days of private higher education are numbered because of high costs and the continuing movement of stu­ dents toward tax-supported in­ stitutions, there is agreellJ.ent that Catholic higher education is nowhere near collapse.

The problem is largely in terms of "identity" and "pur­ pose," rather than mere surviv­ al, the educators believe, as they note predictions that more than 80 per cent of the Catholic col­ legians will get their education on secular campuses by 1985.

Along with other church­ related and private institutions, Catholic colleges and universi­ ties must seize upon and empha­ size the elements that make them different from other insti­ tutions, Father William F. Kel­ ley, ·S.J., president of Marquette' University, Milwaukee, told one session."Our survival and excel­ lence will depend upon our em­ phasizing the factors which dif­ ferentiate us from the other American colleges," he said.

Bus Rides for All Aid (Public Schools CLEVELAND (NC) - Tax- . paid bus rides' for nonpubIic scool students mean stronger public schools, the national pres­ ident of Citizens for Educational 'Freedom (CEF) said here in Ohio.

Stu~rt D. Hubben, prosecuting attorney in Traverse City, Mich., cited a Michigan law providing. bus transport for all pupils. He said it has' helped cut down con­ troversy in education matters, strengthened support for public school bond issues, and thus ben­

efited public education.

Citizens for Educational Free­ dom, which Hubbell heads, is a national non-sectarian organi­ zation which supports equal treatment for students in both public and nonpublic schools.

This will mean a change of direction, the Jesuit president declared, because Catholic insti­ tutions in past years have con­ centrated on the similarity to other institutions. This was done, he said, to gain "accreditation and professional acceptance. .But the new emphasis, said the Marquette Jesuit, must not be "reheated material from undi­ gested seminary notes."

He suggested some specific

steps notably that a: church­ related college can help in the pursuit of world peace because "the only enduring basis for peace must be theocentric and only a religiously oriented and.

God-centered college can turn without embarrassment to a' study of those divine endow­ ments to each human being which give him a dignity and which place him in the family of man." .

Hub Jesuit Emphasixes Purposes Of Higher Catholic Education NEW YORK (NC) - Father Father Walsh, whose concern Michael P. Walsh, S.J., president was the role of major "univer­ of Boston College, supports the sitycenters,"academic complexes idea of asking "some fundamen­ of post-doctoral work, computer tal questions about the mission facilities, special research insti­ of Catholic education" but he tutes and impressive libraries, fears the answers will not re­ declared "the Catholic univer­ ceive the same attention and sity is not just a secular univer­ publicity that the doubts do. sity under Catholic auspices."

Speaking at the National Cites Purpose Catholic Education Association convention now in session here, "We insist," he said, "that the Hub Jesuit said: Catholic universities are need- ..

"I feel that responsible voices ed for the sake of truth, for the in American Catholic education sake of culture, for the sake of and in the American Catholic sound intellectual progress and community have not been heard for the sake of society itself as in sufficient number or with suf­ well as for the sake of Catholic ficient force to contain and students." channel the healthy ferment and questioning that is going on."

Querulous Snipings .He asserted Catholic news­ papers and journals have be­ come distant from Catholic edu­ cation, adding: "These journals seem to have developed a detachment con­

fication for Catholic institutions of higher education is weaken­ ing.

So said Brother Abdon Lewis, F.S.C., dean of the School of Arts and Science of Manhattan College, at the 62nd annual National Education Association convention now in session here in this great metropolitan city.

The Manhattan dean also noted the growing problem. of providing religious education to Catholics on secular campuses.

He pointed, too, to a change in secular schools which are "anxious to provide religious op­ portunities for all students and courses in their Faith approach­ ing the quality of the best of­ fered at Catholic institutions."

Individual Dignity Brother's proposals include experimentation and innovation and critical evaluation of them "in the light of the Christian concept of the person."

Students, he said, must be rescued from the impersonality that characterizes much higher e.ducation today.

"The a cad e m i c pressures brought to bear on emotionally immature and bewildered young people by an impersonal aca­ demic juggernaut or bureaucra­ cy are unconscionable for a col­ lege that must uphold the dig­ nity of the human person," he declared.

He called for expansion of co­ operation between Catholic in­ stitutions, saying inter-institn­ ti9nal cooperation has been de­ layed in past years for "petty and unrealistic reasons" and a "serious examination of the in­ stitutional conscience about this is in order."

On Dec. 17, 1962 the nine Baker orphans found a new home just in time for Christmas -and were greeted with open arms by Donald and Jean Mey­ ers and their four youngsters.

The story of the adoption was told in newspapers and maga­ zines throughout the country.

And a nun advised fellow high school counselors to rid them­ selves of "inner prejudices" against secular colleges while helping students to "seek the 'best in education."

Donald Barr, headmaster at Dalton School, New York, the keynoter, declared: "The student counselor must cultivate the soul as well as the mind of a child."

PEWAUKEE (NC) - Father William M. Loesch explained "they didn't have any place to go and it seemed like a ChristiaJl thing to do." So members of Zion Presbyterian church now will be able to continue their Sunday services in a vacated Catholic church.

Forced to leave their place of worship, the Wisconsin Presb;,­ terians had been attending ser­ vices in an elementary school until a new church is completed.

They faced ouster from the school because the Waukesha C 0 u n t y Superintendent of Schools received a complaint that the worship services in the school violated the principle of separation of Church and State.

Rev. Jay Miller, pastor of Zion Presbyterian church said: "It q certainly fine of the Catholic ehurch to make this offer to us.

It shows the spirit not only of true ecumenicity, but of true Christianity."

Adequate Sex Instruction Prevents Distorted Notion

Pope Paul Urges Busin~ss Shun Fal!;ehood

By John J. Kane, Ph. D. "For some time I have been reading hair-raising ac­ eounts of campus morals. My daughter is now at a state university and the English instructor advocated books dealing with sex and told the boys to experiment. We tried to get our daughter into a ignorant of sex matters.

Catholic college, but her tirely The problem usually is that grades were not good too many have a very distorted enough. I think all parents noticn of sex. This could be should be alarmed over this situation."

This is a difficult letter to answp.r. I do not want to at­ tem~t to min­ imizt> the situa­ tion. but neither do I want to exaggerate it. At the out­ set, we may as well admit therE" have al­ ways been cer­ tain problems Gf sexual im­

morality on certain campuses.

The consequences of original sin

still remain in all of us, even

after the Sacrament of Baptism.

You must remember that boys

particularly at this age are ex­

periencing strong sex drives.

This is not untrue of girls, but

somewhat less true.

Yo" are quite right-there has been a rash of alarmist literature on this point. I made a point-of analyzing two of these books Who<;c titles I prefer not to men­ tion. One study did not include any Catholic institution, only state and private institutions, and in some cases colleges ex­ elusively for girls. It is a highly impressionistic account. There was no real effort to do a sci­ entif:'c study.

Psychiatric Studies You must remember that per­ sons who volunteer for this kind of ir.terview may not be typical of the entire population at any single Cllmpus. Not infrequently they ar€' individuals who face serious problems of sex adjust­ ment and are indirectly looking for help when they volunteer for such interviews.

On the other hand, there have been some psychiatric studies Which, while they do not meet rigid scientific specifications, probably come closer to the truth. They give no parents any reascn for peace of mind about this matter. But again, there are usually case histories of boys and girls who have experienced difficulty in the area of sex.

The statistics provided on illi­ cit Sf>X relations simply cannot be accurate because of the way they are collected. The situation may be considerably worse or considerably better than such figures reveal. But for what they are worth, I 'would certainly agrep. they are alarming and every parent should express concern.

Appeal to Teenagers There has been a debate rag­ mg about certain types of books, particularly those by Salinger, which seem to make a particu­ lar appeal to teenagers. Some English instructors, including Cathdics, believe such books are oE'sirable reading for teen­ ager!'. Others disagree.

Thp,re is no doubt that books which are pornographic ought to be banned entirely. But one cannot eliminate books, some of whic" are real literature and do refer to sex behavior. It all de­ pends upon how the subject is handled.

Some of the truly great En­ glish literature does contain sex episones, but I do not think they should be eliminated for this reason. Every parent must re­ member that by the time a boy or' g;rl reaches the age of 18 in OW' E>ociety. he or she .i8 not en-­

avoided if parents would pro­ vide adequate sex instruction beginning when children are quitE" young and not waiting un­ til the tender age of 17, 18 or 20 to discuss such matters.

There are a number of books in the Catholic field and I refer partkularly to one by Father Sattler which teaches parents how to provide sex instruction.

The Christophers published rec­ ords some years ago for the same purpose.

If children are given both ade­ quatt> religious and sex instruc­ tion, there is much less to fear wher, they enter the kind of a situation described in your let­ ter. But when they have not been urged to receive the Sacra­ ments frequently, to learn as much as possible about their religion, and when their own parents fail to provide adequate sex instruction. the situation may be highly dangerous.

Newman Clubs Any college professor who would urge boys to "do some experimenting" in the area of sex, if true, should be brought to the attention of the college administration. This is patently absurd.

Since your daughter is at a state university, I urge you to see that she joins the Newman club and participates actively in it. A good Newman club is the best assurance for any Catholic parent with a child at a non­ Catholic institution. Here they can continue to learn about their religion, sacraments are readily available, and there is daily Mass if they care to attend. They also have priest counsellors to help them with all kinds of problems that arise.

I have spoken at many New­ man clubs throughout the coun.,.· try and each time I am deeply impressed by the work that is being done and by the caliber of the students who belong to the Newman club.

In fact, I have detected a deeper religious fervor in some Newman clubs than I have found on some Catholic college cam­ puse!' The reason, I b~lieve, is that these boys and girls are meeting actively with persons of different faiths and persons of no faith. I think this exposure can be helpful although I must admit it can be disastrous.

Fir.<llly, I should not like to leavE' readers with the impres­ sion that the type of situation you mention ir. your letter is typical of all state university campuses. This is simply not so.

Many have strict regulations re­ garding hours when boys and girls may be out. They do make an honest effort to supervise the behavior of their students.

But even boys and girls living ·at home under adequate paren­ tal supervision sometimes get into trouble. The number of pre­ marital pregnancies in our soci­ ety is ample testimony of this.

The best that any parent can do is to attempt to prepare their children for the inevitable en­ counter with sex. This is best done by, not merely providing physiological information, but by providing strong religious motivation to practice the vir­ tue of chastity Children so armed will not encounter seri­ ous problems when they leave home. Children without such preparation are most fortunate if they don't.

Church' for U.N. Establishment of Holy Family Parish

Pleases Pope Paul

NEW YORK (NC) - Pope Paul VI expressed his pleasure over establishment of Holy Fam­ ily parish here and the recent dedication of the $2.2 million parish church of the United Na­ tions."

The papal pleasure was out­ lined in a letter to Francis Car­ dinal Spellman of New York from Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Secretary of State. The letter said: "He bids me to send you his cordial congratulations on the completion of this impor­ taot project."

"The United Nations Organi­ zation, according to its statutes, is dedicated to the peaceful har­ mony among nations, and it is only proper that such a center as Holy Family parish be estab­ lished so that the teachings of Our Lord could have an influ­ ence in the deliberations of this august body," the letter said.

The towering spire will serve to remind all who glance at it that all men are children of the one. God, and His Holiness prays that this center will spread the message of love and under­ standing of the Gospel," Cardi­ nal Cicognani wrote.

The Pope was speaking to Italian business agents who were _ holding their first national con­ gress in Rome.

"Can your profession disre­ gard sincerity ir. giving infor­ mation, and fidelity to one's word?" the Pope asked.

"Isn't your word the practical tool of your trade, of your trans­ actiens?"

Pope Paul urged the business­ men to be "men of your word."

He continued: "We will add an­ other suggestion. Be reasonable and moderate in seeking profit for your services, and avoid in­ discreet speculation. This is de­ manded by the common good­ -that is to say, by the people who put their savings into business and take from it the things necessary for life.

"It ill demanded, we believe, by yotlr own interest, which will benefit all mor€ when people trust you and your services."

Present for the Pope's address in the Vatican were various groups from Europe and North Africa, as well as a group of Catholic and Protestant high school students.

Charred Crosses DETROIT (NC)-Two charred crosses were found here, one at the hom~ of slain civil rights worker Mrs. _Viola Liuzzo and the other in front of the City­ County Building in downtown Detroit.

Papal Message It is true now-as it has been SO often in the past­ that papal mess'ages seem to evoke more attention and

speculation and hope from what might be called secular

circles than from the Catholics to whom the message is

primarily addressed.

It might be that Catholics expect the Pope to speak up and have a good idea about what he will speak. They know, Catholic doctrine, too, so their lack of excitement about what he says might be a tribute to their knowledge

of the Faith.

But the fact remains that there is always reverent·

attention and hopeful speculation given by secular news­

papers (why does that word "secular" always seem to have ,an unflattering sound?) and the other news media to his addresses.

This is true of his Easter message.

It has started immediate speculation that he is adding his, prestige and asking for the force of world opinion to support the proposal of President Johnson for some sort of honorable negotiation of the Vietnam problem.

The Pope pointed out that the characteristic of this

age is social coexistence, "so familiar in our world of t'hange, and yet so diffcult to maintain." Mankind is con­ fronted with a choice for either construction or destruction, ,~ ~ and the wise choice must be made.

This does not mean a "sell-out" in Vietnam. It does

mean the serious attempt 'by sincere men to bring an end to war and to the tragic consequences of war. But, at the same time, there can be no handing over to the Communists of an entire people. The world tried that technique more than a decade ago, buying time and, it thought, peace "in our day" from the Nazis by letting them have their way

What is the President sup­ posed to do, "in the name of God," now that North Vietnam, Russia and China have refused to attend such a conference.

Are they required by the de­ mands of our "Judaeo-Christian faith" to withdraw our troops immediately, regardless of .the consequences, as so many of their clerical critics have urged them to do? I think not.

RespectfuDy Yours "Thank you for your Jet­ ter. We are saddened to have to inform you that currently we do not have a Papal Volunteer available for your needs. Due to the necessity of replacing returning Vol­ unteers avail­ able. Please be

will arrive when we can expand our program to include you r needs."

Sitting in a damp yet wa~erless, and lonely rectory., the priest who receives this an­ swer to his plea for lay help must find his work a little hard­ er, a little more taxing.

Our letters are sincerely signed with the phrase "regret­ fully yours," for we are always left with a heavy heart after the disagreeable duty of refusing all appeal.

Actually we are only agents.

For those who register as Papal Volunteers we act as an agent to train and assign them to the place that will benefit best by their talents. But too, for those who do not step forward with their services we' must act as agent to refuse those priests who appeal to us.

The search for talent is pur­ sued eagerly by government, private industry, colleges, reli­ gious communities, the Peace Corps, and international assist­ ance movements. The President hunts' for capable people who are willing to work for govern­ ment salaries. Business and com­ mercial enterprises descend on the colleges each Spring to lure those with ability. The colleges themselves scour high schools for persons of exceptional abil­ ity, Vocations are sought among men and women who can con­ tribute of their very selves for , the good of God and the Church.

Against such formidable com­ petition the Papal Volunteer program must offer an induce­ ment of extraordinary appeal. It focuses on those who have de­ , cided that they have no religioUs vocation and who are willing te postpone the pursuit of their careers for several years. These people, sensitive to the needs Or other lands imd, poSsessing a ,religious sensibility, are ideal candidates for PAVLA. .

The message and rewards of , P A VLA work must be broughi to these potential candidates by people like yourself. Do yo. know a talented individual who . ought to consider the lay volun­ teer field! If you do give them one of our P AVLA leaflets and give them the opportunity of en­ riching their lives in the service of God and their fellow man in a foreign field.

With your help we shall be able to answer appeals with joy rather than regret. We much prefer our response to sound like this. "We are happy to ten you that we have a Volunteer on the way. Thanks to the generous response of our Catholic people we are able' to fulfill your request."

Puerto Rico Acts Ago inst Bias At Colleges

From "TJle _Clilireh in the' New Latin America" Edited by John J. Considine, M.M.

The failure to establish concordats clarifying the ques­

tion of national patronage caused the Church numerous difficulties in Latin America. One of the most serious prob­ lems, notes Dr. Joseph Gagliano, was the threat of Caesar­ opapism in those nations where dictatorships emerged. be retained so as to maintain commercial relations Even in Brazil, however, favorable with English traders. during the turbulent period of Regency, Diego Feijo, a lib­ Conservative AIl1ance

to wipe out discrimination against Negroes at the institu­ tion.

Officials of the Catholic Uni­ versity of Puerto Rico in Ponce sent letters to student fraterni­ ties and honor societies demand­ ing assurance that no racial bias will be exerted against Negro students by the groups.

After a former member of a student fraternity at the state­ operated University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras charged bias was being practiced against Negro students there, university and government officials took speedy action. j aim e Benitez, university chancellor, ordered a thorough investigation of the bias charge and issued a statement condemn­ ing racial discrimination of any kind.

Condemn Disclriml'nation' Gov. Roberto Sanchez VileUa also issued a statement denounc­ ing racial discrimination. Mem­ bers of the legislature"'followed the governor's lead and edito­ rials in daily newspapers con­ demned racial discrimination.

Officials at both the Catholic and state untversitielJ have made it clear that there will be auto­ matic suspension of recognition for fraternities and societies wbich practice racial discrimi­ nation. The Catholic University at Ponce also announced it will suspend allY fraternity or soci­ ety which refus-es to sign an as­ surance against discrimination.

In addition to the charge made by the former fraternity mem­ ber at- the state university, there were sit-in type demonstrations at the institutions by students­ some in favor, some opposed to raefal segregation in one of the university"s buildings.

Regarding the liberals as a menace to the independence and economic security of the Church, the hierarchy, Dr. Gagliano ex­ plains, saw no alternative to formation of an alliance with the conservatives in the political battles of the 19th century. Sev­ eral examples can be used to illustrate this alliance. In Mexico when Valentin Gomez !'arias began an anti-clerical reform in 1833, the hierarchy supported a conservative rebellion which forced him into exile and re­ voked his legislation. The alli­ ance was maintained during the Reform Era of Benito Juarez so as to restore ecclesiastical courts and Church properties.

W8Jl,

we bought one of those collapsJble type ironing boards--any. thing to make ironing "a pleasDYe." We set it tc the "sit" posi­ Uon, had everything dampened --even the dinner napkins-turned on the radio and got ready for a really, or reasonably really, pleasurable afternoon.

Have you tried to iron linen napkins from a sitting position?

Neither had we. The first three eame out wrinkled, just plain Iloppy.

Came a readjustment: ironing board readjusted and growing lIP to stature of its predecessol'll at our house. You can zip over sporta shirts, dresses, handker­ ehiefa while you sit at a shorty ironing board-but for making linen dinner napkins come out all they should, it takes the human toucb, the good old bear-down­ but-hard. At the end of the afternoo~ we were no TV love­ ly, but the napkins were perfec­ tion.

Do we always have to do ev­ erything the old-fashioned, hard way, we wondered?

Domestically, it seems so.

Desk Work But for desk work? Oh, for the old-time rolltop desks! All your real work, your "think" work, was set out before you. There were pigeonholes and shelves to hold notes, all the things you needed. It was an untidy mess, of e<'urse, to an outsider, but 3'Ou, and only you, knew where everything was. It was tidy, fol­ lowing your own train of thought.

Now we're ready to start typing the first draft. It goes along swimmingly until, on page three, we find the real "lead." Zip out the first two pages, start another first draft _ and it's time to clean up.

Wouldn't you know it? Every­ body trooping in for dinner.

This is where our "clean desk policy" makes a compromise.

Sans the old roll top, we simply keep all papers on the desk in place, put over it an ancient but presentable woven bedspread, plunlr· on top a vase 01. potted ivy, with trailing tendrils.

Says One in Six Lives in Poverty

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick Someone once told me that the part of a plant show­ Ing above ground was duplieated exactly by the roots grow­ Ing beneath the ground. I remember that I was astonished by this piece of information. It was one thing to be able to dig a hole so deep that )'Ou came out in China, but carried out the kitchen motif in the decorations, as I am not as it was another thing to have clever as some of the party to dig through all those roots books require and the thought of

to get there!

My informer may have· been Incorrect, but there is no qu~­ tlon that t1K! root systems of , ~me plants, especially trees, are quite extensive. Keeping this in mind, one should be very eareful .about planting trees. 'A rule of thmnb for determining the extent of root growth· be,., , aeath .the ground is to consider that roots wiJl normally extend. at least a foot beyond the leaf ~read of the tree. So if you are planning to plant an appletree for 'lhade and fruit you should remember you will most likely aot be able to grow flowers or Yegetables within a radius of about 20 feet from the base of the tree. Roses, for instance, eann('lt compete with large ,tree IOOt~ and even if they do sur­ .tve they will be misshapen and lender. .

When feeding a tree, it is nee- , essary to realize that the .bulk of its intake comes from the out:. er pf'riphery of the root system.

The older, thickez roots near the ' , trunk serve mainly to anchor the tree. while feeding is done:' through the small roots reaching' eut beyond the area of leaf «roW+h. So If you have an apple ' tree which needs feeding,spread the fertilizer in a ring about. a foot beyond the edge of the leaves TbJB also holds true for .atering.

Small trees should be handled III much the same way as large trees. but they present a diHer­ ent root problem. Beeause of their small size, the root spread II1llY not be sufficient to act as an, ' anchor and therefore they may be susceptible to wind damage.

This is especially true for tan ' ~inrlly trees. These should. be artifi<'ially anchored by using • ..oodpn support of some sort.'

One last word about roots.

Anyone who has tried to get rid,' ef a tree realizes the extent· to which roots may travel in order to get sufficient food and water.

III order to cut down on root ~read, it is mandatory to feed and water trees. With ample food and water available, roots are more lilrely to be contained ~thiD a reasonable, area.

Anglican Prelate Predicts Unity

Kansas Catholics Score New Birth Control Pia n TOPEKA (NC) - Groups representing the four Catho­ lic Dioceses in Kansas have protested pending legislation to set up state birth control cen­ ters and have called instead for thorough study of the issue.

In a joint statement they said giving contraceptives to unmar­ ried persons would lead to "state-financed promiscuity and nresponsibility."

Editorial Opposition Urging the committee to rec­ ommend a comprehensive study of the birth control issue, the statement pledged "full and wholehearted cooperation'" by Catholics in seeking "a morally acceptable solution to the prob­ lem." .

The Catholic groups s aid neither side in the controversy should "impose its views on the other."

Similar appeals for a "study of need" rather than enactment of the birth control bill have been made editorially by the Catholic newspapers of the four Sees­ ~al,lsas City, Wichita, Dodge City, and Salina. .The organizations' statement suggested that birth control pro­ grams are not a state responsi-. bility and should be adminis­ tered by private groups.

Freedom of Conscience It cautioned that a state pro­ vamof birth control assistance 10 the poor might cross the line of counseling and come to in­ volve coercion.

It also said any state birth eont1'ol program administered by· welfare agencies should per­ mit welfare workers who have conscientious objections to be· excused. from participation with­ eut losing their jobs.

"Freedom of conscience must be safeguardeC'. under all cir­ eumstances," the statement said.

Vatican Council II Enhances Marian Devotion Louis asked about inclusion of the council's treatment of Mary in the Constitution on the Church, called this "highly ap­ propriate."

"It would seem well-conceived to restate the venerated position of the Virgin Mother of God, while affording new insight into' her position as the first of the redeemed and the type of the member of the Church," he said.

Archbishop Krol spoke of "the fact that devotion to Mary cannot be separated from that we pay to her Divine Son; that devotion to Mary would lose its reason for existence were it to be disassociated from devo­ tion to Christ, and that our ex­ pression of homage to Mary in no way makes her equal to Christ."

Proper Devotion Bishop Charles H. Helmsing of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo., when asked about exaggerations in devotion to Mary, replied that "I believe that most of our Catholic people have had a true

and proper devotion to Mary."

"They understand that she is .for them a model of virtue. They understand her role as one to be invoked as their advocate.

They understand her all power­ ful intercession with God. The stress on the place of Mary in salvation's history and the use of Scripture in describing her role in the Church should elim­ inate any so-called exaggera­ tions or problems that we must sometimes meet," he said.

Asked the effect the council's teaching on Mary may have on other Christians, Bishop Nicho­ las T. Elko of the Pittsburgh Byzantine rite diocese saw it having "little effect" on Protes­ tants because "their objections are against the practice rather than the well-explained doc­ trine." .

Church Freedom Myth in Cuba

AClU

Calls Dialogue Top Education Element BOCA RATON (NC)-A Do­ minican priest-editor put it this way-true education 'consists of a dialogue "between God and the student attended by the teacher \....ho acts as a minister of the sac­ ramental process of learning."

Speaking to members of the Diocese of Miami Catholic Teachers Guild here in Florida, Father Thomas Gilby, O.P., gen­ eral editor of a new 60-volume Latin-English issue of the Sum­ ma of St. Thomas Aquinas, re­ flected upon dialogue as the only method "truly proper to the learning process."

Specifically rejecting what he termed the "eductive" theories oi Plato and the "injection" con­ cepts of Averroes, Father Gilby, superior of Dominican Fathers at Blackfriars, Cambridge Uni­ versity, England, discussed the dignity and methodology of waching.

Shared Time

SAN DIEGO (NC) - The former rector of a Cuban Catholic university said here in California that religious freedom is a myth in Cuba today. .

"Religious instruction publicly is forbidden," said Father John J. Kelly, O.S.A. "Catholic churches serve as warehouses and militia barracks. Priests live under the constant threat of prison or expulsion, and servi«:es ;;Ire permitted under most lim­ ited conditions."

Father Kelly was rector of th,e.

University of Villanueva in Hav­ .ana from the time it was founded in 1946 by American Augustin­ ians as Cuba's first private university. The university was taken over by the government of Fidel Castro in May, 1961.

Thl' priest said in an inter­ view that the Church in Cuba has been "muzzled" by repres­ sive laws and forced deportati()fi of about 80 per cent of the clergy and almost all nuns and Broth­ ers.

At present, he said, Cuba has 220 priests to serve seven million nominal Catholics scattered o'!er an area larger than Pennsyl­ vania. They are "permitted. _. function inside their churches,· he added, "only as long as noth­ ing is said or done contrary _ the oppression of human rights

by Castro's Red regime." .

Prime Target Reviewing the progressive 0p­ pression of the Church in Cuba, Father Kelly said Villanueva Universary, as a center of Cath­ olic intellectual life, was a prime target from the beginning.

He said the 1961 seizure of the universary culminated a "war of attrition" that extended over more than two years. He noted that the government even took over the university chapel, which is now being used as a storehouse. . When other measures against the Church failed, Father Kelly continued, the Castro regime ill 1961 resorted to the forced de­ portation of foreign priests.

NEW YORK (NC) - The American Civil Liberties Union has declared its opposition to "shared time" education plans, including the one embodied in the administration's $1.3 billio-n school aid program.

The ACLU made its stand known on the eve of Senate de­ bate on the school aid legislation.

It sent copies of its policy state­ ment to every senator. .

The organization also called for inclusion of a judicial review provision in the education bill."

Such a provision would enable a tax-payer or group to go to court to test the constitutionalit;r. of the program. .

The Interdenominational Con­ sultation on Church Union-in what it called its "most signifi­ cant action" to date-established a "special commission represent­ ing, each of its six member churches and directed it to" sub­ mit a specific plan as thE!" basis for a "truly catholic, truly re­ formed and iruly ev~mgelical" united church. The plan is to be submitted at the next meeting of the group in May, 1966, in Da~las.

Sends Relief Goods To Quake Victims NEW YORK (NC)-Catholic

Relief Services - National Cath­ oHc Welfare Conference dis­ patched a $5,000 shipment of blankets from here to the Chile earthquake area.

A spokesman for the world­ wide relief agency maintained

by U. S. Catholics said the blankets were the only items requested from supplies in this country. The agency said it had a stockpile of clothing, bedding, medicines and other materials at its headquarters in Santiago,

Chile, which was sent immedi­ ately to the area. The quake occurred about 50 miles from Santiago.

Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, CRS-NCWC executive director, was in Panama City, Panama, at a conference with the agency's Latin American officials regard­ ing the Latin American pro­ grams. The bishop contacted the agency .headquarters here and said CRS-NCWC is working the Chilean Caritas organization, the army and police in a program of aid to the Quake victims.

In a formal statement at the close of their meeting, the group said that an essential element of any projected united church "is a united ministry capable of bearing undoubted and unques­ tionable authority everywhere."

The statement said there had been a "consensus" on the two reports submitted to the body.

One of these declared that the historic episcopate "commends itself as symbolizing that con­ tinuity of ministry upon which churchly authority must rest."

Father Placidus Riley, O.S.B., college president, emphasized he was speaking "in my own name," told the lawmakers that the bill would set a "calamitous precedent" in the field of higher education and that "the legisla­ ture is not the proper place for the solution of academic mat­ ters."

However, in a later statement he declared he was in "perfect agreement" with Abbot Ferald F. McCarthy, O.S.B., of St. An­ selm Abbey, an official of the college, who bluntly stated that "St. Anselm will not welcome known subversives to this cam­ pus."

Anglican Bishop To Give "Pope Vestments

New Guide fo", Singing

To Aid Participation

LONDON (NC)-An Art­ glican bishop will present Pope Paul VI with a set of Mass vestments made by

The Commission for Implementing the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy has just published a new Church music manual called the "Kyriale Simplex." It has been a silent, sure and welcomed step in liturgical reformation and an answer to the Council's wish: "Is is desirable also tive Christianity). The other contain variations for indi­ that an edition be prepared four vidual pieces. The selections containing simple melodies, were taken from the "Kyriale

for use in smaller churches."

(Cont, art, 117) However, the Commission in­ terpreted this to mean that sim­ pler melodies were not only for simple churches but rather that simpler melodies were the tool required to bring about full par­ ticipation in sung Masses. The Council harl requested simpler renditions of both the Ordinary and Proper part..s of Mass.

Up to now, the Ordinary of the Mass (Kyrie. Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus De~ and the re­ sponses was governed by the "Kyria~e Vaticanus."

It con­ tained some 18 different musical settings for Mass which were composed of some 70 ordiQary pieces and 20 extraordinary or "ad libidum" selections. Only 15 of the above could be termed easy-for a trained choir.

The new manual presents 5 Mass settings, made up of 38 selections; two tones for the "'Ite Missa Est" (one with "Alle­ luia"; one without); one tone for the "Benedicamus Domino" and four settings for the Creed.

Sixteen of the 38 selections are DeW to the Kynale. These new selections--in private use in va­ rious dioceses or rites - have now been extended to the uni­ versal Church. There were sim­ ply no more suitable -pieces at hand. The rest of the selections are taken from existing texts and have been chosen because of their simplicity and authen­ ticity.

The new "Kyriale Simplex", it Is important to realize, does not supplant existing manuals (Ky­ riale Vaticanus, Roman Gradual,

etc.).

It is a uew tool, adapted· for Ilew demands. It is aimed at facilitating the participation of

the people.

Thus No. 59 of the September 26, 1964 Instruction· of Pope Paul can now be realized: "'Pastors of souls shall carefully see to it that the faithful, more particularly the members of lay religious associations, also know . how to say or to sing together in the Latin language, those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them, ESPE­ CIALLY WITH THE USE OF SIMPLER MELODIES." There have been many modern attempts--many most successful -to compose suitable melodies for the Mass. This, the "Kyriale Simplex", rep res en ts the Church's own contribution, es­ pecially deSigned to bring about and encourage lay. participation.

In publishing thls new manual, the Church has also ·shown the wQrld those qualiUes ",hich chant must possess. It is not a question of throwing out all that is ornate or difficult. It is rather a return to the authentic, original selections that in history have been the base and founda­ tion for what was later to be more ornate, decorous--and dif­ ficult The "Kyriale Simplex" does not even pretend to be a pattern for future reforms. It is simply the carrying out of the Council's desire for something practical that can serve today's pastoral needs.

Some of the new manual's se­ lections are: Masses Five settings ar.:given. The first is. the sim", ~ (Missa ea~holica or The AL__ uf Primi­

Vaticanus", tones actually used in Spain and Germany, Ambro­ sian Rite pieces, and some Kyries and Agnus Dei that had been reserved for litanies up to the present.

Creeds There are four: the first three are the Vatican Kyriale's I, IT and III. The fourth is an espe­ cially welcomed Ambrosian se­ lection.

Ite l\1issa Est Two tones: one with "Alle­ luia". one WIthout.

Benedieamus Domino Since, according to the new rubrics, this invitation shall only be used twice during the year, only one tone is given.

Variations It is also shown that the Kyrie may be sung in three parts instead of the usual double alternation. Here, the first inv.o­ cation would be sung by -a solo­ ist, the second by a choir, the third by the people.

The Agnus Dei may also be sung in litany form, i.e., the con­ gregation would simply answer "miserere nobis" and "dona nobis pacem" to the three-fold petition.

Asper«es Me The Vatican Kyriale's "'ad libidum" selection becomes the normal here. It is simple, more authentic and ea..'lier to sing thall the usual but more ornate one.

There is als:> an Ambrosian piece which is even easier but of great musical value.

Vidi Aquam The one used up until now was found to be heavy and difficult to sing. Thus a selection was adopted that has .been in use in the diocese of Cologne, Germany.

Donates $800,000 .To Archdiocese BALTIMORE (NC) - Law­ rence Cardinal Shehan of Balti­ more, offered a Pontifical Mass of thanksgiving, commemorating his elevation to the college of cardinals, before a congregation of more than 4,500 persons in the 5th Regiment Armory here.

Following the Mass, the card­ inal was guest of honor at a testimonial dinner at which he was present~d with a check for $800,000, a gift from his people.

The cardinal returned the check to the archdiocese, naming a committee of three priests and three laymen to administer spending ''the princely gift" for the "welfare of the archdiocese.·

Marriage Failure Continued from Page One aI," at the request of the Mar­ riage Preparation Service. The study was based on interviews with 129 French-speaking, Cath­ olic women.

In 1964, the poll disclosed, there were 447 such marriages in the Montreal archdiocese. In the sampling for the inquiry, there were 16 couples who were under 19 at the time of marriage.

The report said: "Only one of these 16 recorded a marital suc­ cess. Seven of these adolescent couples have separated."

The report said the proportion of happy marriages increased to 70 per cent in cases where the husband is more than 20, even if the wife is 18 or less. The rate reaches 81 per cent when the partners are both over 22.

The study was made during 1964 with a grant trom the Family and Social. Welfare De­ partment' of Quebec. Rolland Gosselin, secretary general of. the Marriage ·Preparation ser­ vice, said ,the report will help in determining policy, since the problem of adolescent marriages is a serious one.

"Among the French-speaking Roman Catholics of the Montreal diocese, there are 1,300 to 1,400 marriages. involving adolescents each year, about 15 per cent of the total marriages," the service

When the commis­ sion adopts the convention as a whole it will have to be ap­ proved by the U.N.

According to reports reaching here, Cardinal Wyszynski told some 3,000 people in St. John's church in Warsaw that the "gov­ ernment of People's Poland promised to obey this conven­ tion. So we hope we will be lib­ erate ourselves from the slavery of persecution, the slavery of limitation, from the constant sufferings which unfortunately face the Church in our home­ land so often."

In recent months the cardinal frequently has been attacking the Polish government's cam­ paign against the Church. On Palm Sunday he accused there­ 'gime of using public funds to· . carry out its drive.

The vestments, paid for by the pilgrims, have been made by an Anglican community of nuns, the Society of St. Margaret in London.

Included are an elaborately embroidered chasuble bearing figures of four of Britain's 'great early saints, Columba, Alban, George and David on a green border representing the British Isles.

Speaking b e for e Catholic, Protestant and Jewish clergymen in the First Methodist church, he said clergymen should take the lead in the search for unity.

Meng Is Advisor In Unrest Study At St. John's

1'B

TtfE ANCHOJL-Di.~ese of Fo'l ~iver-Thurs. Apr" 22.1965

NEW YORK (NC)-John J. Meng, president of Hunter College here, has been granted a six-month leave of absence to serve as a special consultant to St. John's Uni­ versity in Jamaica, N.'J. st John's, the nation s largest Catholic university with an en­ rollment of 13,000, has been shaken by faculty and student protests over administrative pol­ icies.

Meng was invited to take the consultant post by Father John T. Tinnelly, C.M., former dean of the St. John's law school, whom the university board of trustees named in mid-March to arbitrate the dispute.

Teachers Protest Meng, 58, is a graduate of the Catholic University of America, where he received his A.B., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. He taught political science there and at Queens College, and was a history professor at Hunter Col­ lege from 1949 to 1960 as well as its dean of administration from 1952 to 1960. He has been president of the college since 1960.

Unrest at St. John's University broke into the open in March when some 200 teachers walked out on a general faculty meeting after their spokesman read a statement of protest. Two stu­ dent rallies in support of the teachers followed.'

Student Demands The teachers' demands include salary increases, improved fringe benefits and a greater say in educational policy - making through an elected faculty sen­ ate.

The students want more aca­ demic freedom, abolition of cen­ sorship of student publications and an end to "paternalism" on the part of the university admin­ istration..

Cardinal Cushing; Msgr. Pat­ rick J. Ryan, retired chief of Army chaplains and president of the MCA; Msgr. Francis Lally, editor of the Pilot, Boston arch­ diocesan newspaper, and Edward Brooke, Massachusetts attorney general, will l)e among conven­ tion speaken .

Paulist Urged Union Of AI,I Christians GRAND RAPIDS (NC)-The superior general of the Paulist Fathers said .here Father Isaac Hecker, C.S.P., was 100 years ahead of the times when he founded the first community of priests in the U. S. in 1858.

Father John R. Fitzgerald, C.S.P., in a sermon at the dedi­ cation of the Chapel of Christ the King at the Paulist-staffed Catholic Information C e n tel' here in Michigan, founded the Paulists to engage principally in convert work.

Educator Urges Catholic Schools Put More Stress on Freedom NEW YORK (NC)-Catholic schools should be putting more stress on freedom and less on obedience, a Catholic college president told the 62nd National Catholic Educational Associa­ tion convention.

"Rather than holding up sub­ mission and conformity as stan­ dards to meet, we have to encourage our students of today to take stands that may Q.e un­ popular, may even expose them to ostracism," Sister Margaret, president of Trinity College in Washington, D.C., said at the convention's final general ses­ sion.

"Debate, controversy, initia­ tive-these must be the hallmark of educated people today," Sister Margaret said. "We are in a learning society. Our students must be characterized as those prepared to go on learning."

The college president urged a reorientation of Catholic educa­ tion putting more emphasis on international responsibilities, in­ cluding the work of such agen­ cies as the United Nations aJld UNESCO, and also giving stu­ dents a greater sense of com­ mitment to social goals and duties.

Stimulate Thought "Education today," she said, "must develop an environment that will stimulate thought about ethics in society, and the rela­ tion of each individual to that society in 'terms of his own ethical principles. To reach this' result the erivironment must be one that is free."

She called on Catholic teachers to be true educators, rather than propagandists, explaining: "The educator recognizes each pupil as a unique person who has a particular task to fulfill in time. -The' propagandist, on the other hand, is concerned with his own ideas, opinions and feel­ ings and is concerned with the pupil only for exploitation. ''Too often today people in our schools are more propagandists than educators, and so our pupils never do develop to the point where they make a difference in the world."

Sister Margaret said enact­ ment of the administration's new Federal aid to education program has presented Catholic education with a new challenge.

"Now is the time to demon­ Mtrate that our interest, just as

that of the public school educa­ tors, is the ~ducation of the youth of the United States," she said.

Real Ecumenism Is Charity, Understanding, Sympathy

,

~;I ,';:.: :;:

'Lunatic Fringe' There are, however, a few dangers to such a movement-­ not, indeed, dangerous to the mature mind. aor to someone suffkiently grounded to notice them. but still dangers. The "lunatic fringe' and the imma­ ture show up here as every­ when' else, and can, unless noticf'd as such, spoil the whole thin!;. The trouble is that the extremists are always so very vocal that they tend to give the imprf'ssion of being a majority.

And it is a oasic tendency of human nature to stick with the maj<'rity - particularly a loud "maJority" which can sneer very intelipctually indeed at your beliefs. .

Real ecumenism is charity. It is understandIng, sympathy, and the ~nowledge that a man can be s'ncere and holy and great while still honestly believing things we do not believe our­ selvps.

God's Gifts But ecumemsrr. cannot, on the othel hand, deny the magnitude of the gifts God has given us, nor torget the enormous respon­ sibiFty which 15 ours because of our "ery beliefs. It would not be ecumenism but a contradiction were we to deny the awesome fact that God has given us the grealest means for salvation, the means He intends as the ordi­ nary way for mankind to be saved It remains perfectly true that othel s. with lesser gifts and ad­ vant<>ges of faith. can save their soue;, and do. as a matter of fact, ofter. make us, with our greater adva'ltages, look pretty silly and spiritually poverty-stricken. But the fact also remains that the enormous grace!> of God's sal­ vific plan, the culminating revel­ atiol' or salvation-history, is ours in our faith Now it seemp that this would be obvious to anyone who, with God'!" grace, doer some thinking -and. for the most part, it is.

Apparent Hypocrisy I have friends who would give a right arm or two to believe that their sins could be forgiven in the confessiOnal, or that they really could receive Christ every day in Holy Communion, or visit Him in a church any time they wanted to.

In fact, I have friends who wonder at the apparent hyproc­ risy of a lot of Catholics who do believe in the effICacy of confes­ sion and still,go only when "they have to," and who believe Christ is present in the Blessed Sacra­ ment but still blithely pass by a church time after time without bothf'ring even to say "hello," an insult they would not offer to even a mediocre friend.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI says the concept of the People of God does not mean that individual worth is lost.

"Each and every person has his distinct place,. his most per­ sonal worth, his own particular vocation and a mission all his own, like each piece of a mosaic," the Pope declared.

The Pontiff stressed that "the mass does not detract from the value of each single person who goes to make up the People of God. It is thus that the mass of people in the Church does not suffocate the specific and in­ imitable singularity of the in­ dividual believer but rather * * 4' exalts it."

The Pope observed that it was this aspect of the thousands of

individuals at his audience that gave him hope for the world. the "hope above all that eacJa of you is and always will be a faithful son of the Church. It is no longer enough for you 10 be present and devout at the tomb and chair of St. Peter. AD your life must be animated by a feeling and a concept of con­ scious loyalty to Christ, living and working in His Church."

Ohio Bishop Says Sex Revol ution Ruilf1S Society MARTINS FERRY (NC)­ Today's so-called sex revolu­ tion is taking society back to the caves according to Bishop Jo~n

King Mussio of Steuben­

ville Bishop Mussio said that as the Christian knows that "the disorder of sex is a challenge to law and good order, so also the unbeliever in God should see the threat to the stability of the so­ cial order in that which encour­ ages self-gratification.

ThE so-called sex revolution, Bishop Mussio noted, "is chain­ ing man once again to that from which he gradually emancipated himself by the influences ·of a true-God-centered way of life."

Effective System.

"We hearci 'of companionate marriage, pre-marital experi­ ence self expression through full passion, happiness 'in sex discovery, the freedom to find personal fulfilment and a thou­ sand' other catch phrases which seek to make respectable what; under a'ny name, corrodes aU respectability.

"Nc matter what you call this distortion of sex, it is best known to us who believe in God as sin.

And sin means that which is for­ bidden by God because it is against our very nature as men. and against the order of society.

Nothing today warrants a con­ clusion that man's nature has changed, or that. God has changed His mind," the prelate saId. "When we talk of the renewal of the Church, the great step forward, the new society, it does not and cannot mean a change in the' unchangeable, a doing over what God has already put togetber as a good creation. Of course, we recognize the neces.., sity of devising better ways to provide an effective system of sex education. We acknowledge that we must remove from the discipline . of sex all taint of Jansenism, rigorism, and false modesty," he said.

Purpose Lost "We know that sex is good be­ cause it is of God," he added.

"We must beware of any attitude or policy which would make the right use of sex something suspect, or a hindrance to Chris­ tian perfection. Sex is good, as man is good; both are good be­ cause they are of God. "For the Christian, there can be no sex revolution if it means setting aside· the law laid down by our Creator and reiterated

by Christ our God. The history of man has shown that when sex indulgence knows no bounds, woman is enslaved, 'society weakened, manhood vitiated and purpose lost.

Inter-Faith Service; On British Warship GLASGOW (NC)-A joint re­ ligious service was held on a ship of the British Navy when' HMS Naiad was commissioned here Father William Briscoe, Cath­ olic chaplain, read the lesson.

Normally. Catholic members of the crew would go to their own service. 'We feel this has been a step forward i.n our own inter­ church relations," a n a val spokesman said.

Fall River Guild Fall River Catholic Guild for the Blind will meet Sunday afternoon in St. Joseph's School, following Rosary and Benedic­ tion in the church at 2:15 P.M.

,Convent Aspirant To Spend Year In Own Home CINCiNNATI (NC)-High school girls testing their reli­ gious vocations will spend the third year of their pre­ convent course residing at home and attending the high school of their choice.

The new plan will go into ef­ fect in September at the St. Clare Aspirancy, which offers a high school course for "aspi­ rants" to the religious life at the Franciscan Sisters' provin­ cial headquarters. The aspirancy will continue to offer courses for high s~hool freshmen, soph­ omores and seniors.

Sister Mary Rose Carmel, di­ rector of the aspirancy, said the plan was adopted to "broaden. the .girls' opportunities for so­ cial contacts, competition with more students' oi their own age, and normal, parent-guided boy­ girl relationships."

Of 25 students now at St. Clare convent, eight are in the soph­ omore clasS, which will be the first group affected by the change.

Although the~ will .leave the

convent school to reside at home and attend their local high schools, Sister Rose Carmel ex­ pects to keep in touch with them and will be available for guid­ ance, she said.

Prelate Supports Rights Efforts NEW YORK (NC) -Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York said here that those who are fighting "racism and civil in­ equality" in the U: S. have his. "praise and prayers."

"And I gladly join their forces." he said in an address at the annual Reform Jewish Ap­ peai dinner.

At the same time Cardinal Spellman expressed "emphatic opposition" to '.'those who would use the civil strife wbich' the Negro struggle has engendered

to subvert and sabotage Amer­ ica."

The cardinal received the Re­ form Jewish group's -Humani­ tarian Award during the dinner.'

"For all too many genera­ tions," he said in his talk "our Negro brothers here in America have been deprived of the full­ ness of freedom, and today we blush because at last we have come to realize the unfairness with which they have been treated, especially in some parts of our land."

They will make occasional visits to the asplrancy, she said. for retreats, daYf> of recollection. and special celebrations.

Sister Rose Carmel said..c the junior year at home is expected give aspirants "an opportunity to evaluate their religious voca­ tions from another standpoint."

Environment "It is important to realize that the aspirancy is not a place to make high school girls into 'little nuns,''' she said. "Rather, it seeks to provide an environ­ ment suitable for the growth and development of a vocation while at the same time permitting normal teenage activities which help girls become mature wom­ 20."

She said the new plan had been discussed with and ap­ proved by psychologi.sts, priests and nuns before it was adopted.

Break Color Line in Sports At Eight Catholic Schools NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Eight predominantly white Catholic high schools here have agreed to compete in sports against two predominantly Negro Catholic high schools.

Principals of' the schools de­ cided upon the competition at a meeting here. As schedules permit the schools will compete against each other in baseball and track beginning this Spring.

The two Negro schools are St. Augustine and Xavier Prep. At present the' white schools com­ pete in a state organization for whites and the Negroes in a sim­ ilar organization for Negroes.

St. Augustine met a white

school, St. Aloysius, in baseban this Spring. St. Aloysius won 4­ to-3 before an integrated audi­ ence. The game was played with­ out incident.

Some weeks ago St. Augus­ tine's basketball team met Jesuit High in an unpublicized scrim­ mage game. The Negro team won, 81-59. Jesuit High went on to win easily the state white high school championship. Parents of two Jesuit High players declined to let their sons play in the game against the Negro school.

Catholic schools in the New Orleans archdiocese have been integrated racially since 1962.

Score Cross-Burning Incidents As Insults to Cincinnati Area CINCINNATI (NC) - Representatives of three . religious faiths asserted Ku Klux Klantype cross-burning incidents in the Cincinnati area "have degraded and insulted our whole community."

In a joint statement they ex­ pressed "shock at the burning of crosses on the property of three citizens." They said each had been placed "in the dark of night on the lawn of a Negro family which had purchased a home in what had been an all­ white neighborhood."

pionpering in Federal recogni­ tion of the educational needs of both public and private school pupils.

By a vote of 73 to 18, the Sen­ ate added its endorsement to House approval of President Johnson's $1.3 billion proposal.

The President hailed passage of the measure. He predicted that it would prove to be "just _the beginning, the first giant stride toward full educational opportunity for all of our school children:" The bill sped through the Sen­ ate, as it had through the House, propf'lled by urgent appeals of ' the leadership that Congress capitalize on the wide consensus of support for the legislation.

Sen. Wayne Morse of OregOn, chairman of the Senate educa­ . tion subcommittee and the bill'. floor manager, repeatedly char­ acterized it as experimental in its approaches and appealed that it be given a yea~'s trial run.

Much of the Senate discussion centf'red on the inclusion of pa­ rochial and other private school pupils. Morse and the bill's other supporters argued that the aid contemplated in the legislation is aimed at pupils, not church­ related schools, a constitution­ . ally permissible course.

A major Senate challenge was an amendment by Sen. Sam J. Ervin of North Carolina. Ervin proposed that the bill include a provision authorizing nearly au­ tomatic Federal court challenge by a taxpayer of the bill's incha­ sion of parochial pupils.

Thp. Ervin proposal was tile­ feated 53 to 32 in the face of ap­ - peals by Morse and Republican - Sen. Jacob Javits of New York, who said the constitutional is­ sue iE being approached in other way!', notably a court case in Maryland, and that the benefits of the Johnson bill should not be delayed, which would be the case if it were held up by a court chall€ ' nge. .

In Nocturnal Adoration Movement

Eighty-five men of the Nocturnal Adoration Society of St. Mary's Parish, Hebron­ ville, kept watch at the Repository of the Blessed Sacrament during all the hours of Holy Thursday night until the late morning hours on Good Friday. This was not just for the occasion of Holy Week, but it is the continuance of the aiffi6 of the Society that are fulfilled on every First Frid­ ordained a Carmelite priest, was . thus was born the Nocturnal day and during two nights ejected one night from a chapel Adoration Society in France. of the annual Forty Hours in France.

OFFICERS MEET WITH DIRECTOR: Assignment of hours for nocturnal adoration h conducted by the pas'tor-director and officers of the organization. Howard Vaslet, vice­ president; Jacques Leduc, president, William Crowley, treasurer; William F. Foley, Jr., aecretary; Father Keliher. , .

Hebronville, in August of 1962 when the parochial Holy Name Society became interested in Cohen's spiritual business ad­ venture.

Three months later, on the First Friday of November, 39 men assigned to 13 bands started entering St. Mary's Church at T o'clock Friday evening and covered the hours until 8 o'clock' Saturday morning.

The Canonical Establishment occurred on Sunday, April 21, 1963, when Rev. Hector C. Lemieux, S.S.S., National Di­ rector installed 65 members ill St. Mary's Nocturnal Adoration Society.

On that day Donald Blake was elected president, and he was assisted by Dr. Alex McIsaac, vice-president, and Richard Gal­ lagher, secretary.

After two and a half years in existence, the enrollment has more than doubled to 85 and the unit is directed by the fol­ lowing slate of officers: Jacques Leduc, president; Howard Vaslet, vice-president; William Foley Jr., secretary; and William Crowley Jr., treasurer.

The motto of the Hebronville group is "No meetings - no dues", just love the Eucharistic Savior so deeply that one hour of adoration will be given to Him on the First Fridays, Holy Thursday and during the Forty Hours Devotion.

The hour is a planned period of prayer. The suggested order is: the Office of the Blessed Sacrament (20-25 minutes); ten minutes of silent prayer; a vocal prayer from the Office Book; another period of silent prayer; vocal prayer; prayers for the deceased members; and finally, prayers for the Holy Father.

Silence has no note of dullness and the vocal prayers and office have been so well received that members are of the opinion that no finer and inspirational meth­ od of spending 60 minutei with God is possible.

Deny Antipoverty Aid to Refugees MIAMI (NC) -The fact that Cuban refugees are excluded from the federal anti-poverty program was scored here during an informal meeting of a con­ gressional sub-committee for the war on poverty.

Rep. Sam Gibbons of Florida said it was "a real surprise to learn refugees were excluded," and he added: "I don't believe that was Congress' intent and I think we can do something about it."

At the meeting called to dis­ cuss problems In the operation of the Economic Opportunity Act which might indicate- modi­ fication of the legislation, Msgr.

Bryan O. Walsh, executive di­ rector of the South Florida Eco­ nomic Opportunity Development Council, Inc., pointed out that -the law is set up to read that only American residents can be helped."
