Blames Schools For Shortage Of Vocations HONG KONG (NC)-The

rector of the seminary here blamed the shortage of Chinese diocesan priests in Hong Kong on the failure of its 32 Catholic boys' secondary schools to promote vocations.

The rector of Holy Spirit di~ ocesan seminary, Father Joseph Fung, said that local ordinations have averaged slightly better than three a year for the past 10 years. Most of these, he said, were late vocations.

At present, many primary school graduates enter the minor seminary when they are 12 years old Father Fung said. The heavy "mortality rate among them wouldn't trouble us," he said, "if the secondary school students weren't being overlooked and bypassed."

Father Fung suggested having part-time chaplains attached to the schools.

At present, 231 foreign missioners and 117 Chinese priests care for Hong Kong's quarter of a million Catholics. Of the Chinese priests, 55 are diocesan and 62 belong to Religious congregations.

"The total of 348 missionary and diocesan priests in Hong Kong means one priest for every 718 Catholics," he said.

"That sounds like 'enough priests according to the situation in Western Christian countries today but Hong Kong isn't Christian. And our 348 priests are called upon to bring the Gospel to around 3.5 million non-Christians."

There are now 80 minor seminarians and 18 philosophy stu~ dents at the diocesan seminary.

Twelve major seminarians are in Rome studying philosophy and theology, two of whom are expected to be ordained at the end of the year.

Fr. Koob Keynoter For Diocesan Teachers Universially Recognized Authority on Education Rev. C. Albert Koob, president of the National Catholic Educational Association, Washington, will deliver the keynote address at the opening session of the 15th Annual Diocesan Teachers Convention on Thursday, May 7 at Bishop Feehan High School, Attleboro.'

Asks Nationwide Drive Focusing On Ecology HARRISBURG (NC)-The

92nd Congress should be an "Ecology Congress," says U. S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.) in a call for a nationwide political drive to achieve this goal.

The drive, Nelson said, should be a strong focus for political action across the country as the next step "for a decent, sane environment" after the thousands of environmental teach-ins set for Aprill 22.

People Disturbed "We've got men in Congress and state legislatures who represent the interests of agriculture, of busines, of education," Nelson observed saying: "Now we need legislators who represent the environmental interests of all Americans."

Nelson made his comments at a special session of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, a highlight of the legislature's week-long teach-in called "Earth Day-Pennsylvania."

Nelson, who originated the idea of environmental teach-ins, cited public concern about the ecological crisis which has built so rapidly that "people who are disturbed about our poisoned aill', our unlivable cities, our filthy rivers and lakes may have become the single most powerful political constituency in this country."

Inhuman Conditions Pointing out that environmental problems al1fect every individual in America, the Wisconsin Democrat said: "From the suburbanite who finds a polluted lake on his weekend trip to the ghetto resident who lives along the noisy truck routes, there is no escaping our environmental crisis. "And restoring environmental decency in tMs country is going to mean eliminating the inhuman conditions of the ghetto as much as it means protecting our recreational waters and open space':'

Innovations Mark Archdiocesan Drive MILWAUKEE (NC)-Two innovations will mark this year's Milwaukee archdiocesan fund drive: each parish has been authorized to set its own quota for the campaign and parishes will retain any money donated over the diocesan quota.

PreviousRy, diocesan authorities established the parish quotas and collected all funds raised.

A

Cardinal Cushing emphasized that the publication of the sur· vey material in its present ·form "has caused great confusion and ·misunderstanding" because it <Ioes not represent current diocesan policy or planning.

"It is merely the raw material from which we will make our decisions concerning the future of our schools," Cardinal Cush. ing stated.

He said the survey findings would be reviewed by an archdi~ ocesan school board "where ·it will be evaluated and used in determining school policy for the years ahead."

The cardinal retiterated a "long standing commitment to the religious schools and quality education for all our children."

Published reports of the sur· vey indicated that all but seven of 42 parochial high schools should be ph,ased out and the remaining secondary units be linked to an 18-member central high school system, under a separate corporation.

Additional recommendations of the report provided for a centralized financial system, ~igher tuitions, standardized salaries for .Religious and lay teachers, a "shared planning" for inner city schools and educational centers in economically depressed areas.

Continued from Page One Sacred Heart Church, Fall River, the homilist stated.

"To portray a lifetime of good works in a few words and sentences is manifestly impossible.

Father O'Reilly's well-known reticence forbids that I even try.

However, bear with me in pay· ing tribute to the priesthood which Father James served so faithfUlly for more than" 50 years."

"The priest is indeed, by the terms of his ministry, a servant of the servants of God. A man, not to be ministered to, but to minister. It is his function to teach, to edify, to serve the needs - spiritual and temporal alike-of the people of God." Msgr. Hull continued: "It is his business to lead them to prayer and to set the example of virtue-to inspire them to works of justice and charity, even to act as the kind of guide in the Christian" community by always urging a closer apprbximation of the kingdom of God on this earth."

"At the beginning of 1959, illness struck Father O'Reilly down, and although he could not offer Mass for the last years of his life-his service to God was manifested in' the manner he buried himself in devotion to the Sacred Heart and his preaching was ever powerful by his devotion to the Rosary."

"The last words of Father James to the Sister at the Catolic Memorial Home were 'Get me my beads' and his final words to his brother Frank, were "Say the Rosary."

"Thus passed this holy man'to God during the early hours of Monday morning, April 20."

Father O'Reilly was born Oct. 23, 1891 in West Wareham, the son of the late Andrew E. and ROJie Galligan O'Reilly.

A graduate of Durfee High School, Fall River and Holy Cross College, Worcester, he studied theology at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore and w.as ordained on June 2, 1917 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River by the late Most Rev. Daniel F. Feehan.

He served as an assistant at SS. Peter and Paul's Church, Fall River and St. Lawrence's C"hurch, New Bedford and was nam.ed pastor of Mt. Carmel Church, Seekonk in June 1932.

The pastor emeritus of Mt. Carmel parish served the people of the SE!ekonk area for over 27 years. On Sept. 17, 1959, Father O'Reilly retired to the Priests' Hostel in Fall River.

On the occasion of 50 years in the priesthood, Rev. William H.· O'Reilly, pastor of Immacu· late Conception Church, Taun· ton and a cousin of the jubilarian offered a Mass of Thanksgiving in the room of the late pastor emeritus at the Catholic Memorial Home, Fall River, which was attended by members ·of the honored priest's family.

Father O'Reilly is survived by two brothers, Andrew Edward of West Hartford, Conn. and H. . Frank Reilly of Fall River.

Interment was in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Fall River.

Caring The English historian, Arnold Toynbee, has prophesied that when the history of the Twentieth Century :is written it will be known as the age when people paid attention to the needs of their neighbors and did something about them.

The Catholic Charities Appeal does precisely thiS. It is taken up annually to care for those in needthe youth, the mentally retarded, the aged and infirm, l those seeking guidance at social service agencies.

These people are in need. They are not merely people in need but brothers and sisters in need and the Appeal seeks to help them because they are children of God and brothers and sisters in Christ. .

They are in need. They are surrounded by all the be'wilderment and confusion' and hurt that accompany need. They look to someone. who Will help them for they cannot help themselves. And behind their need and their hurt is (he hope-barely flickering-that they will not only be helped but with reverence and dignity. .

This is what the Charities Appeal does.

It turns to those who have a little of this world's goods and' asks them to share their little with those who have none, with those who 'can be helped by so little ~

It turns to tho~e who have a little and asks them to give something to support the 'efforts of dedicated Si~­ ters and' priests and lay people who have made their life:'s work the caring for others.

And this year's Appeal has an added note. It is' dedicated to Bishop Connolly on the occasion of his twentyfive years as a Bishop, nineteen of them Bishop of tIle Diocese'.

Most of the boys in this .fam" i1y are tall and husky, therefore she and AI have the added problem of finding clothes that fit well yet are practical as far as wearability is concerned.

To prove this point she mentioned the fact that she had just returned two pair of corduroy .pants (bought in December) to a loca[ store because in such a short period of time all the texture of the fabric had worn away.

She went on to recount that she had received little satisfac-' tion from the store, which blamed the manufacturer, and that the only thing it would do for her was to send tpe pants back to the factory to see what the manufacturer would do about it. I could well sense her feeling , of frustration, for I had run into the same problem when trying to do something about defective workmanship.

Pruning, Training N,eeded T.o Recla'im Grape Vine

Support Fo'mily Assj'stance Pkrn

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick We received a letter from a reader this week asking what can be done t.o reclaim an old grape vine which has fallen into disrepair and neglect. The problem is not difficult and consists essentially of two processes: pruning ' and tr~ining. Pruning involves removing all of those or two strolling along Hanover stems which cause the vine Street is a "learning experience" in itself. The open fronted stores, to be overgrown and unpro- the air of good cheer and the ductive and shortening those which may give rise to fruit.

First of all, beginning as soon as possible, cut out all weak puny stems and those which appear to be lifeless at their point of origin. Secondly, save the main trunk and arms, but cut out all long thin shoots containing only one or two stems at their outer extremities. This may involve pruning out a considerable amount of wood but do not be afraid to over-prune, since if the plant is strong and the main stem is maintained it will overcome severe pruning with more than vigorous growth.

Those stems which are about the diameter of a pencil may be kept but they should be shortened by at least 25 per cent.

The purpose here is to get the vine producing as close to the main stem as possible. The vine will probably produce shoots from the base or close to the main stem to compensate for the loss of its extremities and these may be pruned out at a later time, preserving one or two as possible replacements for the main stem in later years.

love of people pervades the scene. It's probably the nearest many of us will ever get to' the joy that must be Italy.

Olives, herbs, pasta in baskets, windows full of anise, filled pastry and of course the breathtaking sight of freshly killed lambs hanging from meat hooks meet the eye of the tourist. Aromas fill the air and our taste buds literally beg to be tested.

An even closer area to visit if Italian food is on your menu is the Federal Hill section of Providence. Here the selection is not as vividly displayed, the variety not as awesome but nevertheless Italian cookies, pastries and imported canned goods are' right there for the asking.

Marvelous Selection

We in the Fall River area arc even more fortunate, for within one small area near Columbus Park one can find three Italian stores with a marvelous selection of goods. One of these is fairly new and it sparkles with cleanliness and mouth-watering displays of Italian products.

Oppose Aborti!on Bill Legally Inadequate, Socially Dangerous, Priests TeH Governor BALTIMORE (NC)-A group of 19 priests of St. Mary's Sem. inary school of theology here purchased an ad in the Baltimore Evening Sun urging Gov. Marvin Mandel not to sign into law a liberalized abortion measure. approved by the legjslature.

The governor scheduled a public hearing on the bill at Annapolis. Chief opposition against the measure has come from Maryland's Catholic leaders-Cardinal Lawrence Shehan of Baltimore; Cardinal Patrick O'Boyle of the Washington archdiocese which includes five Maryland counties, and Bishop Thomas J. Mardaga of the Wilmington, Del., diocese which includes nine Maryland counties.

The 19 priests, virtually the entire faculty of the theology school, in the "open letter" ad to the governor and people of Maryland, said: "We think this bill fails to measure up to the least common denominator of moral values espoused by the general Maryland population.

"We think this bill goes be-

yond what is neccessary for the healthy functioning of the state because it introduces legal precedents which threaten the life of the retarded, the deformed. the aged and any other group of citizens who may come to be deemed expendable by the lawmakers.

"We think this bill will lead to a weakening of that reverence for life which is commonly shared by our citizenry and is reflected in modern attitudes toward war, civilian massacres and inhuman conditions in mental hospitals and prisons.

"In short, we think this bill is legally inadequate and social· Iy dangerous."

The ad invited other Marylanders of whatever religious beliefs to write Gov. Mandel' and oppose the measure. It said Maryland law liberalized in 1968 "gives some weight to rights of the unborn" but the proposed new law '~nullifies these rights altogether."

WASHINGTON (NC) - Members of Church Women United, a two-million·member branch of the National Council of Churches, held a week·long conference here on the role of the church and of women in the legislative process.

Chairman of the conference was Mrs. Eugene McCarthy, wife of the U. S. senator from Minnesota. Mrs. McCarthy, is one of four Catholic women on the governing board· of Church Women United.

U. S. Sen. Walter Mondale, also of Minnesota urged the women to push their churches into the political arena.

"I am increasingly convinced," he said, "that unless Christians become active in politics-partisan politics - that this nation will never be what it wants to be, claims to be, or indeed, whether it will survive."

WASHINGTON (NC)-eathoIics are being mobilized to urge passage of the welfare reform bill now before Congress which proposes establishment of a family assistance program. If approved, it will in effect provide for a guaranteed minimum income for the nation's poor.

Plans for Catholic support of the legislation were mapped out at a meeting here attended by representatives of the U. S. Catholic Conference and its affiliate organizations.

Specific strategy is being formulated by a three-member ad hoc committee which was see lected at the meeting.

Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, general secretary of. the U. S. Catholic Conference; Dr. R.H. Edwin Espy, generat secretary, National Council of Churches and Rabbi Henry Siegman, executive vice president, Synagogue Council of America have gone on record as supporting the bill.

The chief administrators of the three major religious organizations form the Interreligious Committee of General Secretaries. .

Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcoran, secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Charities, has also urged local charities directors to support the family assistance plan.

The meeting, called by John E. Cosgrove, director of the Conference department of social development, was held to formulate a cooperative plan of action which would include other departments of t.he USCC and its affiliates, such as the National Councils of Catholic Men and Women.

Demand Ontario Extend Sepa rate School System

THE ANCHORThurs., April 23, 1970

TV To Feature Special Shows

TORONTO (NC) - If the Ontario government's strategy is to "outwit" Catholics pressing for extension of the separate school system extension to the end of high school, then a back· to - the - planning board move seems in order.

In one of the sharpest attacks on the Ontario Department of Education, Dr. Nick ,Mancini, president, Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association said: "We intend to pursue extension with unremitting conviction and energy. Equality in education through extension and cooperation remains our foremost concern, a concern increasingly marked by impatience."

Addressing the association's annual convention, Dr. Mancini of Hamilton, Ont., left no doubt that Catholics would persevere in separate schools.

"Political history," he said, "is filled with the bones of good causes that were outwitted because they were outwaited. The champion team is the team of the second effort.

"We will not fall apart," he continued. "We will hang on.

We will forge ahead. We have not lived 125 years in vain. We demand extension for equality in separate schools." ' Almost a year ago, the association presented a brief to the government requesting provincial financial support for the remaining years of high school.

Attempt to Confuse At present, separate schools receive grants up to grade 10; the first two years 9.f high school receIve aid at theelemen~ tary school scale. The brief called for government support for a fully-integrated pl'Ogram from kindergarten to grade 13.

"As of this date," Dr. Mancini said. "we have no official sign of acceptance of extension from the Ontario government. We have some indication of interest in further suggestions from us on implementation.

"Beyond that we have nothing but 'deep consideration', ~on­ stant allusions to obstacles and what appears to be a deliberate attempt to confuse the separate school case with that of private schools."

Dr. Mancini's sharpest criticism of the government's foot· dragging policy was levelled at Minister of Education William Davis.

Archbishop Defends Spanish Missioners MADRID (NC)-The head of the Spanish Bishops' Conference has defended the role of Spanish missionaries in Latin America.

This country's priestly aid program, was sharply criticized following the expulsion of several Spanish priests from Latin America on charges of subversion.

Archbishop Casimiro Morcillo of Madrid, chairman of the bishops' conference, said that "although some persons are bent on planting doubts about the value of our sending priests to Latin America," the truth of the matter is that "the Latin American bishops themselves are asking for thjs aid."

The program is entrusted to the 'Spanish-American Priestly Cooperation Work, which in the past declJ.de has placed some J ,400 priests in many .dioceses of Latin America.

Churches Oppose Racial Po~icies In Rhodesia SALISBURY (NC) - The church-state conflict in Rhodesia, brewing sin.ce the adoption of this republic's white-supremacy -constitution in 1969, is coming to Ii boil.

Although overwhelmingly victorious in the April 10 parliamentary elections, Premier Ian Smith's regime now faces a collision with the country's Christian leaders over its racial policies and its plan to reduce state assistance to primary education for black Africans.

Smith's Rhodesian Front party, which was decisively returned to power in the election, has been in control snce 196,2. It unilaterally declared independence from Britain in 1965.

Although race was not the only issue in the election campaign, it was an overriding facfor. It has come to p'eimeate almost every aspect of Rhodesian life and dominated the campaign.

The churches have not escaped the backwash of the racial trends.

The sharpest division bctween the government and the churches has centered on the Rhodesian Catholic bishops' series of criticism!j leveled at the government's racial policies. But other Christian denominations have supoorted the bishops' criticisms.

The Catholic bishops strongcst criticism was contained in a recent pastoral letter entitled "A Crisis of Conscience," in which they announced defiance of the governments efforts to force Church support for its racial segregation measures.

Three days before the elections the bishops distributed a 56-page booklet on "The Lana Tenure Act and the Church" to inform Rhodesian Catholiics on the implications for the Church contained in the land legislation.

The booklet amplified the pastoral letter.

'Brave Statement' The Land Tenure Act-which divides the countl'y geographically between whites and blacks - gives. 44.9 million acres to about 250,000 whites and 45.2 million acres to about 5 million black Africans. The land destined for whites includes all the cities, towns factories and highways.

The pastoral letter was hailed

by Anglican Bishop Paul Burrough of Mashonaland as "a brave statement."

Fellow Anglican Bishop Kenneth Skelton of Matebeleland and said a point of no return has been reached between cnurch and state.

"If our nation's rulers pursue a policy which is at variance with our belief in God we have no choice but to resist," he said.

"Justice is more important than law and order and can sometimes be incompatible with it."

Other' Church leaders have also voiced defiance of the government actions.

Lauds Improving Public Welfare Report Favors Strengthening Administration Bill .

By Msgr. George G. Higgins

Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C.

For a period of several years back in the almost forgotten '50s, Father John Coogan, S.J., who was then teaching at the Jesuit theologate in West Baden, Indiana, devoted an unreasonable amount of his time and energy to the thankless task of trying to keep columnists honest. His principal concern, as I recall it, centered around the issue of the union shop.

He strongly favored and I strongly opposed the enactment of socalled right to work legislation, . which would have authorized the States to prohibit this modified form of union security.

We also differed in our interpretation of papal teaching on secular or neutral versus socalled Christian unions and on a number of related issues. We exchanged innumerable love letters, both public and' private. on all of these issues (most of which are now of only academic interest), but, somehow or other, never managed to come to a meeting of the minds.

Those of our readers who can remember that far back will recognize, of course, that that's putting it as mildly as possible.

Then, all of a sudden-to my sincere regret - Father Coogan became seriously ill and, in the interest of copserving his energies, found it necessary to terminate our time-consuming and largely fruitless debate.

I am happy to report, however, that Father Coogan is now back in the saddle again and seems to have recaptured his earlier zest for rough-and-tumble controversy.

mittee for Economic Development entitled "Improving the Public Welfare" (Committee for Economic Development, 477 Madison Avenue, New York, N. "(. 10022, $1.).

This report. which was prepared by a panel of 50. prominent businessmen and educators, calls for a federally-supported national income for all persons, including the working poor, with eligibility determined solely on the basis of need.

The committee argues that the goal of extending public assistance to all Americans living in want should have high priority among the many goals being sought by this nation. It notes that obtaining broad public assistance of this new welfare concept would "cut across ingrained views and prejudices."

Chamber's Objection If Father Coogan will forgive

2) It also takes issue with the Administration proposal that female heads of households should come under the requirement of work or training as a condition of continuance of public assistance. It says that "the final determination of whether a mother with young children is 'needed at home or could more usefully augment the family income through a job should be left to her individual judgment," 3) It objects to the Administration's proposal that the daycare plan for children of welfare families be limited to children of six years.

4) In aqdition, it recommends the development of a federal program to assist with construction of day-care centers. The Administration plans provide only for grants to remodel and renovate such facilities.

Strengthen Bill Significantly, some of these proposals for strengthening the Administration's bill closely parallel the recommendations made just a few weeks ago in a join't statement issued by the General Secretaries of the Synagogue Council of America, the National Council of Churches, and the U. S. Catholic Conference.

It is important to emphasize, however, that both the CEO report and the' interreligious statement just referred to strongly favor the central thrust of the Administration's bill and are aimed at winning support for its enactment.

In other words, the proposed changes ~n tne bill ~hich are being advocated by' these two groups are designed to strengthen the bill, not to scuttle it. lt would appear, on the other hand, that the Chamber of Commerce is determined to kill the bill, not to improve it. I think this is extremely regrettable, and I trust that, even if Father.

Coogan finds it impossible to agree with me in this regard, he will not interpret J:lly criticism of the Chamber's stand-pat position as an indication that I am biased against employers.

The question at issue is not whether one is for or against employers as such. The question is which employers-on which issues-and for which reasons.

me for saying so, the position taken on this issue by the Committee for Economic DevelOpment makes much more sense than that of some of our other national employer organizations, notably, for example, the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.

By weird coincidence, on the very day that the CEO report was made publi<:, the Chamber ran an advertisementin the Wall Street Journal and a number of other leading newspapers in the United States attacking the Nixon Administration's welfare program.

The main objection of the Chamber to the Administration's bill centers around the provision in the bill that would supplement the income of the working poor.

It is estimated that these provisions would add, three million famiiles to the welfare roles.

The. Chamber doesn't think that "a guaranteed family income is a constructive way of helping a fully employed father who is trying to help himself.

GlI'ape Workers Win Recognition COACHELLA (NC) - Another breakthrough. in the prolonged grape picker:s strike came here in California when the workers union overwhelmingly won recognition at two table grape growing ranches.

The owner-growers agreed to immediate contract negotiations.

The elections were held on the ranches of Kelvin K. Larson and his brother, C.C. Larson, who together farm 360 acres of grapes.

On Kelvin Larson's ranch the union won recognition by a 79-2 vote, while on C.C. Larson's ranch the vote was unanimous for the union, 74-0.

The impending contracts between the Larsons and the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, AFL-CIO, are expected to follow terms reached April 1 when three growers negotiated the first contracts covering table grape pickers with the union-the, David Freedman Co., of Thermal al1d Indio; the Wonder Palms Ranch, partly owned by Freedman Co., and the Traveltine Ranch, owned by Charles Freedman in Oasis.

The breakthroughs brought no statement from more than a score of larger growers in the Delano area, still involved in the dispute with the union.

Relief Service Film Wins Top Award CHICAGO (NC)-A Catholic Relief Service film on hunger in Biafra won the top film award granted by the Religious Public Relations Council here and two Catholic publications were honored by the Associated Church Press in sessions just prior to the opening of an international Religious Communications Congress at the Sheraton Hotel.

The Religious Public Relations Council's creative communications awards committee announced that the Catholic film was so far superior to all other entries that they were creating a special "award of distinction" for the film. ' During the Associated Church Press award presentation, the Western Catholic Reporter, edited by Douglas J. Roche, was cited for "general excellence" and U.S. Catholic and Jubilee, edited by Robert Burns, was honored for its editorial position.

CHICAGO (NC) - OrganiZIng for Community Life, a new book of guidelines for local groups interested in improving u·nderstanding among racial, .religious and ethnic groups, has been published here by the Chicago archdiocese's Commission on Human Relations and Ecumenism.

Written by. Christopher Car1ey, new director of the archdiocese's Community Life Program, the 150-page paperback tells how to organize a local program.

Founded three years ago by Chicago's Cardinal John Cody, the community life programs seek to eliminate prejudice among Chicago area residents.

The first part of the book deals with reasons why more people are needed to become involved in community life, relating need for involvement to such issues as poverty, welfare, crime, health, employment, housing and education.

In the second section of the book, Carley discusses how people can participate in eommunity life activities and explains basic operations essential to a successful praogram, including program orientation, committee planning, member recruitment, the importance of resee.rch techniques, and action projects.

"In keeping with the goals of the Community Life Program, the book is intended to help prevent the differences among men from becoming divisions," Carley said.

Oppose State Aid To Private Schools CHICAGO (NC)-A 75-member group called Catholics Against State Aid to Private Schools has been organized here under the leadership of W. William Welch, a sales manager of suburban Glen Ellyn. rhe group contends that state aid would bring state control of parochial and other private ~chools. Welch said a majority of the members are residents of Chicago suburbs. He added that he never attended a Catholic school and his child is also a public school student.

Some students started for school as early as 5:45 to arrive by 8 o'clock, and no doubt they're glad Earth Day doesn't come every week.

Once at school, girls participated in a special assembly, inc1uding a skit and reports on anti-pollution programs of local and national business organizations. A symbolic auto funeral ended the assembly.

Today, even though they're on vacation, SHAers will stage a clean-up drive at the intersection of Hood and Elsbree Streets.

Anyone is welcome to come and help, beginning at 1 o'clock.

500 Hike At Feehan High in Attleboro 500 students met at 7:15 last Friday morning at a North Attleboro gathering place, from which, led by Attleboro Mayor Thomas A. Piggott and two selectmen, they hiked to Feehan.

The day's events at the school Included an assembly at which Mayor Piggott and State Representative Donald Bliss spoke and films were shown.

Throughout the day facultystudent· teams fanned through the school grounds and approaches picking up litter and depositing it in plastic bags'.

Classes were devoted to topics bearing on pollution and ecology.

Leading up to Earth Day, students had sent letters to area industries urging pollution control and to major oil companies requesting them to supply local service stations with litter bags.

Climaxing the Feehan observance, students collected nonreturnable bottles and cans and returned them anyway to the Providence plant of the CocaCola bottling company, They re-' ported a very cooperative attitude on the part of company officials and said a fruitful discussion on the subject of recycling such throwaways· was held. _ Be Aware ..

In the face of adverse public reaction to the abortion law's unsavory practical results, abortion lobbyists have asked the 'government to impose tighter controls in obvious concern over the growing ,disapproval.

David Steel, Liberal member of Parliament who sponsored the controversial abortion act in its battle through Parliament, is in the pro-abortionist group that has issued a report reviewing the operation of the act by private clinics and has urged the government to tighten regulations and check abuses.

Protest Leading members of the medical profession, politicians and others have engaged in a persistent campaign of protest against the operation of the abortion ·Iaw. The press has publicized massive fortunes being accumulated by unscrupulous operators of private abortion clinics in London's West End, They seek clients at airports among women from abroad seeking safe and secret abortions and arriving as part of expensive package trips to London organized here and overseas.

The London Times, commenting on the report, said the sponsors of the abortion act during its passage through Parliament "rejected criticism that their measure would open the way to legalized racketeering in the p~ofitable ,medical. business of performing abortions a'nd resisted the amendments that were introduced to avert the probability.

Support Movement Against Concordat ROME (NC)-A move to ~bol­ ish the concordat between 'ltaly and the Holy See has been given public support by the League for Divorce in Italy.

Loris Fortuna,' the Socialist member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies who has been pushing for the introduction of divorce in Italy, has announced that his organization now will back efforts by a number of. political parties in Italy to abolish the concordat, which is proving an obstacle to the divorce legis-. lation.

Fortuna said that his divorce campaign and the movement -to hold a national referendum to abolish the concordat are "two distinct battles." But he charged in a press conference at the Foreign Press Club of Italy that the Vatican has established a "link" between the two by using the concordat to "impede" the progress of divorce law.

Newark Arranges' Two Inner City Aid Programs·' NEWARK (NC) - Two Catholic sponsored programs designed to alleviate inner city area problems have been launched in the Newark archdiocese.

One called Quest, designed by young blacks, funded and sponsored by the Essex County Catholic Youth Organization, has opened offices in space provided by the archdiocesan CYO. The staff is headed by Joyce Smith, secretary of the Young Christian Students movement in the archdiocese. She said' "the emphasis will be on the needs, hopes and aspirations of black and Puerto Rican vouth, including their goals: intellectual growth, cultural awareness, community involvement, spiritual enlightenment and social responsibility."

Quest will try to "be a buffer to help schools with Puerto Rican and black student problems," she said, and also help schools and libraries develop black history, community awareness and social responsibility programs.

In a related move, to bring volunteers for Summer and yearlong service in the city, the Newark Action Corps has been formed, Father John Meehan, O.S.B., of Newark Abbey, announced.

Professionals in the fields of teaching, sociology, youth work, medicine and office work are being sought for the program.

The year-long volunteers will be given room and board and $50 a month. Those between the ages of 22 and 50 are being accepted.

Initially, the program..will be designed to make contact with adults through children. If successful, the concept will be extended to other parishes, according to Father Thomas W. Heck, episcopal vicar for the Spanishspeaking.

Amends Asks Investigation Abortion Law

Of Nigerian Relief

WASHINGTON (NC)-Massachusetts' Sen. Edward M. Kennedy asked the General Accounting Office here to investigate the U. S. program for relief of Nigerian civil war victims.

The senator made the request after the State Department refused to furnish\ information on conditions in Nigeria's Eastern Region since the civil war ended Jan. 12.

Newspaper reports here indicated ,that a State Department 'survey showed more than one million people starving in the former Biafra region. State Department spokesmen have declined to comment on the newspaper accounts, since the survey was undertaken by the Nigerian government.

Sen. Kennedy's request for an investigation included both programs administered since the war's end and those carried on during the fighting.

Catholics were honored at an anniversary Mass here.

Ukrainian-rite Cardinal Josip Slipyi of Lvov, U.S.S.R., who spent 18 years in Soviet jails after his arrest in' 1945, was chief concelebrant of the Mass.

Another concelebrant, Father Michae[ Hrynchyshy of Newark, represented Ukrainian-rite Catholics of the U. S. Following World War II the Soviet Union annexed parts of the Ukraine that had been in Poland and Czechoslovakia. Almost at once the communists began ,their persecution of Ukrainian-rite Catholics.

Cardinal Slipyi was !mprisoned along with four other bishops, all of whom later died in jails.

Hundreds of priests and thousands of laymen were reportedly arrested. Priests who refused to join the Russian Orthodox Church were deported or shot.

Heroes of Church In 1946 the communists called a synod of terrorized Ukrainianrite priests in Lvov who broke the rite's tie with the Ho[y See and subjected it to the Russian Orthodox Moscow partriarchate.

Shortly afterward a similar fate befell Ukrainian-rite members in Czechoslovakia.

Cardinal Slipyi, released from jail by former ~oviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1963 and now resident in Rome, said in his sermon at the anniversary Mass that the imprisoned Ukrainian-rite bishops were "heroes of the faith and of our Church."

He praised them for offering their lives for union with the Holy See rather than submitting to the demands of Moscow.

The Mass in St. Sophia's Church was sponsored by the Ukrainian 'Theological Society, which is now gathering information on priests jailed during the 25-year-old persecution of the Ukrainian-rite.

Admittedly, these are real problems that must: be approached realistically.

Is it a just indictment against all adolescents?

The vast majority of today's youth are channelling their energy and directing their efforts toward worthwhile ends.

It is refreshing to read about the expansive Spring sports pro-

tion if our studients chose not to participate.' The scholastic athletic contest is one expression of healthy activity, and its importance cannot be minimized.

For it is on the athletic field that some of the most valuable lessons of life are learned. And, it is the heat oft competition that brings out the true meaning of brotherhood, dedication and the like.

The' Good Far Outnumber the Bad' The objective of any athlete or athletic team is to win, and, it is this goal that all strive to achieve. However, victory is often times an elusive prize.

But, in the true spirit of competition the athlete never quits and in the long run he will be the victor.

,I ,I

From the Attleboros to Prov: incetown there are hundreds of athletes taking advantage of the competitive sports, this number far exceeds those who are running amuck of the law. And, it is a credit to the schools that they offer a varied program and still find enough youngsters willing to "pay the price" to compete.

Walk into any high school locker room immediately after school and you will hear conversations about baseball, track,

golf will tive will

and tennis. The discourse continue until the respecteams take to the field and resume after practice.

If a team,is doing well the entire school population focuses its attention on the team. And, even if it is' not winning the whole school is aware of the fact and rallies to support the athletes and begins talking about next year.

Athletics are an integral part of the academic process and affect the majority of high school students in a positive manner.

Win or lose, each and every youngster who gives his all to play the game, in the spirit of the game, and, each student who "demonstrates" for his school by supporting athletic activities will gain satisfaction from the fact that he has played according to the code.

'Build Me A Son, 0 Lord' A message that can be found on more than one locker room bulletin board in the diocese that best illustrates the goal of athletics and the desire of every coach is: "Build me a son, 0 Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak; and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; and one who will be proud and unbending in honest

Dean's List Student Majors in Psychology

BY LUKE SIMS , To those who know Louis Roy, the letter "A" could mean one of three things. Some recognize it as his middle initial (Louis A. Roy, Jr.), while others think of it in terms of athletics. A few associate the letter with Roy's academic standards.

Roy is a senior at Assumption College in Worcester and is one of those seemingly rare individuals who has managed to combine athletic and academic assignments with positive results. .Throughout his college career, the New Bedford native has earned an "A" in each category.

When the Greyhounds played their final hockey game of the season in early March, Roy was wrapping up a fine three-year varsity ice career. When the graduation bells toll in June, he will have reached the climax in what has been an equally impressive stint in the classroom.

Roy is the son of Attorney and Mrs. LC;lUis A. Roy, Sr., 56 Jarry Street, New Bedford, and is a 1966 graduate of Bishop Stang High School.

Following in the footsteps of his fat~er, he entered Assumption in the Spring of that year and a season later found himself on the Greyhound hockey varsity. As a .junior, Roy saw considerable action on the Assumption defense and was one of 12lettermen on this year's squad.

(He was the only player from Southeastern Mass.).

Defensive Specialist A rugged six-footer, Lou used his lBO-pound frame as a protective shield for goalies Mike Sullivan and Larry Thomas and was regarded as a tough body checker.

On offense he played the point on occasional power plays and was the possessor of a hard slap ·shot. ' Top Student Roy never played hockey in high school and didn't play competitively until he enrolled at Assumption. He developed quickly, however, and by his senior' year was the team's top defensive specialist.

o

LOUIS ROY

While in high school, Roy was a standout guard on the Spartans' football team, earning letters in his junior and senior years.

In addition to hockey, he is a member of the Assumption football club team where he plays a similar position. In the classroom, Lou was a top student all through high school and earned Dean's List honors during his final two years at Assumption.

Nameless Heroes Poland Remembers Victims of Nazis In Occupation Years WASHINGTON (NC)-During April, Poland is commemorating those killed by the nazis during the six years of occupation, 1939 to 1945, the Polish embassy announced.

Millions of Poles were killed during that period.

On April 19 there was a commemoration of the uprising on that date in 1943 of the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. The rising of of the population confined in the ghetto by the nazis was the first armed resistance the invaders met while carrying out their plan to annihil!lte Europe's Jews.

The Germans suppressed the uprising after three weeks' struggle and destroyed the ghetto.

The Polish embassy reported that at a plenary meeting in Warsaw in April, members of the Board of the Civic and Cultural Society of Jews in Poland issued a statement declaring: "Polish Jews, together with

the entire PolisH nation, honor the memory of those who perished in defense of our country's freedom and were victims of nazi genocide ,~ ':' ':' "Despite changes which have taken place in the Jewish community, our society has remained active, regardless of any desire of our 'friends,' 'defenders,' and other reactionary groups which slander Poland and our organization as well 0:0 ,~ ,~ "We wish to honor the memory of nameless heroes, the thousands of Poles who, at great risk of their lives and safety, extended aid and assistance to the Jewish compatriots being prosecuted by fascism 0:0 ~, ,;, "We wish to express our resolute desire for peace throughout the world as well as for a situation in which brotherhood and friendship would prevail among all nations,"

Lou is one of four Roy boys and one of two who are enrolled at the Worcester institution. Eighteen-year-old Zoel is a freshman, and like his older brother, was a member of the club football squad.

Measure Permits ~ilent Prayers TRENTON (NC) - The New Jersey Assembly is trying again to get through a measure permitting a period of silent prayer or meditation at the opening of each day in state public schools.

The Assembly cleared the measure, 54-5, and forwarded it to the Senate.

The bill is the same as the ones which former Gov. Richard J. Hughes vetoed in 196B and 1969, on the ground of conflict with the U. S. Supreme Court public school prayer ban.

In a number of state communities, public school officials have tried various methods of circumventing the Supreme Court ruling without success. One attempt involved reading prayers opening each session of the U. S. Senate and House from the Congressio~al Record.
