'Before over 800 clergy, reli gious and laity of the diocese, Bisho'p Daniel A. Cronin last week listed accomplishments made possible by the proceeds of the 1981 Catholic Charities Ap peal and urged cooperation with the 1982 campaign. "Since the apostles and disci ples first experienced the joy of the Lord's Resurrection, the Pas cha'i Season has been a time of particular delight for faithfuil Christians," said the bishop. "Characteristic of this blessed time of year has been a desire on the part of joyfu1 'Easter people,' as Saint Augustine has described us, to translate our Faith into good and kindly deeds, and to do so with enthusiasm and generos ity." . "The need is very great," the prelate told the Bishop Connolly High School gathering. "Our slo gan this year reminds everyone,

'Your gift can do so much for so many." -'Let's examine this little phrase. I suggest that we first look back to the 1981 Catholic Charities Appeal when your gifts did do so much for so many.

themoorinL America: Try To Be Neutral The current British-Argentine affair is one of those comic adventures that so often, as history testifies, turn to tragedy. The concept of a tin-hat dictatorship claiming its rightful inheritance by means of force is ~omewhat alien to the American mind, always putting aside the facts of our own national revolution. The escapades of a military junta gain little popularity amid our populace because those strangers. to the south are so "foreign" to all that we say we stand for in the free world. How can we possibly have one shred .of sympathy for people who don't even speak English? . On the other hand, we forget our struggle for national \ sovereignty as soon as the Union Jack is' unfurled. The fact is that we never .really won oUI:, own revolt against the mother country. The British simply let it appear. that way. Thus, when the fleet sailed from Portsmouth it might as well have been the same port in New Hampshir~. Americans, in general, are such anglophiles that they feel Britain must be right in all her undertakings. The present adventure in the South Atlantic would not have occurred were it not for Britain's original need of a coaling station for her once glorious fleet. The Falklands were an ideal spot to layover before or after the risky run of the Strait of .Magellan..

... ritual of planting, weeding and harvesting. Such projects work like this: the community (or par ish) plows the land, divides it in to plots and offers it free of charge to people on a first-come basis. They are expected to plant, weed and harvest. If they have excess produce, needy outlets are furnished. As valuable as this is to others, it also pays off in community building. Much shar ing takes place while weeding and watering. I envision a parish with the up keep and water expenses of a two acre lawn putting it to bett~r use in these days when so many . are in need. I see it inviting peo ple to become an active and visi ble part of the parish life through tilling together. I even see it turning its church kitchens over some Saturdays for canning, freezing and the pleasure that comes for working hard together for others.

A :do,ubtful dream

Here in a nutshell is President Reagan's proposal ror . tuition tax credits an nounced at the National Catholic Educational Association convention in Chicago Apri!l 15: -A tax credit for parents of up to $100 per child in 1983 based on one-half of tuition paid. That means that if the tuition bill for one child is $150, the maximum credit that can be taken for that child is $75. -The maximum credit per child rises to $300 in 1984 and $500 in 1985, again based on one ha,lf of tuition paid. -No cash payments for dow income individuals who pay little or no tax. -No credits for college tuition. -No credits for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $75,000 or higher. Only partial credits for those with adjusted gross inromes between $50,000 and $75,000. -No credits for children in racially discriminatory schodls. The schools must also be private and non-profit. Even before Reagan announced his ,proposal, one of the biggest objections in Washington was its cost. Simply stated, credits mean fewer dollars for the Treasury and Huger budget deficits. aut administration officials stressed that the president want ed to fuWlI ·his 1980 campaign promise to work for tuition tax credits for parents who send their children to private and .pa rochial schools. Officials also use words such as "negligiljle" and "minimal"

,to describe the proposal's impact on the budget. . That may make the proposal more palatable to Congress, at least compared to the other ma jor tuition tax credit proposal, the Packwood-Moynihan bill which in its· first year would ,have added $2.3 'billion to the deficit had it been approved by Congress. But the Reagan meas ure, since it does not include col lege tax credits or cash refunds for the non-taxpaying poor, is only supposed to cost $100 mil Hon in ·the first year, $600 milHon in the second, and $1.5 bi'llion in' 1987. o :But even if Congress were to find the Reagan measure accept able, the other big question in Washington is whether it comes too late for the current Congress, which by September will be itch ing to go home for the election campaigns. Administration officials insist it is not too late for the 97th Congress to enact tuition tax credits. But Sen. Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.), who as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee will have' major control over progress of the legislation, said he did not think it would reach the Senate floor before Congress adjourns. Moynihan said nearly the same thing. Another major problem is that the Reagan proposal is only a "draft," to be further ,refined in consu'ltation with congressional leaders before going to Capitol Hill "in a few weeks." That could mean that Con gress might not get. started on the proposal until·after Memorial Day. Tuition tax: credits in effect

By MARY McGRORY

The speaker of the House, Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., at tended a Washington party last month where he met Ms. Frankie Brewer, a guidance counselor at the Winder-Barrow High School in Winder, Ga. After suitable apologies, Ms. Brewer mentioned 'to the speaker the hardships imposed on students who had expected to go to col lege on money from Social Security survivor education bene fits, one of the many programs leveled by Ronald Reagan and approved in the Gramm-Latta budget "reconciliation" process. She mentioned in" particular Debby Davis, head cheerleader and honor student at Winder Barrow, who just wouldn't be able to make it ,to college under the Draconian provisions laid down under the new law. At 17, Debby is on her own, her father dead and her mother in another city. Having learned finally that the Socia.) Security system would be sending survivor benefits only to those enrolled in college full time by May 1, she was about ·to give up the whole idea. The speaker was moved by the story, so moved, in fact, that when he went to the White House two days later, he reo counted it to the. president of the United States. Ronald Reagan, instantly sym pathetic, turned to counselor Ed win Meese and said, "Find out about this, let's see what we can do." The speaker said, "No, no, Mr. President. I'm not talking about one individual. I'm talking about thousands, who expected to go to college on their parents' Social Security. We made a mistake in Congress when we cut them off, and we ought to correct it. These kids will never be on welfare. They would be contributing members of society." The chances of reversing the law are dim. The most that can be hoped for is a delay until Oct. I. Rep. Tom Downey, D-N.Y., has introduced such a bill. So far, he hasn't been able to get a hearing on it. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., lined up 20 co-sponsors for a similar bill on the Senate. The Reagan cutoff, however, would save $2.2 billion, and high school seniors do not have a lobby compete with groups trying to stop slashes in Medicare, food stamps and the like. Debby Davis' story has a rela tively happy ending. Frankie Brewer and other good people of Winder pervailed on her to make the try, and now she attends high school three days a. week for six hours and attends night classes at a nearby community college four hours a night. She's a little tired, but maybe not quite so tired as Sally Peck, a 17-year-old senior at George town Visitation School, who is also' attending full time Mont: gomery Junior 'College. She esti·

mates she drives 80 miles a day to keep up in both places. Made· line !Lacovara, the school's stu dent counselor, sent a letter to ,President Reagan, pointing out that Sally is Illn orphan who lives with an aunt and uncle who have six children of their own. She has received no answer. Ronald Reagan' said recently in an interview, "I'm Scrooge to a lot of people, and if they only knew it, I'm the softest touch they've had in III long time." He probably is. He tells us that he falls for every hard-luck story he hears and gives a tenth of his income to individuals. He hears about a Debby Davis and his heart goes out to her. What he cannot relate to is the horde behind her - some 250,000 other high school seniors who have no hope of relating their dashed hopes to him face to face or having the speaker speak for them. The cut tells a great deal about Reagan's feeling about the desir ability of college education for the maximum number of Ameri cans. The decision was made on the basis that many whose sur vivors did not pay that much into the system - and further rationalized on the grounds that ,those who ,lose out can apply elsewhere. But that won't wash, because Reagan proposes to gut the Pell Grants, a program for middle and low-income stu dents, and! to cut the student loan program by $1.7 billion by 1984. What takes the denial of high er education to so many out of the too-bad mode and into the shameful one is the way it was done. High school seniors had to read the papers to find out that. their college days were im periled. The Social Security Ad ministration neither notified them ,that the end was nigh nor told them that even if they en roBed in time, their annual pay ments would be cut by 25 per cent annually - to zero by graduation year. Downey took it upon himself to tour his Long Island district alerting guidance counselors. Levin says that one Social Security regional office sent out thousands of outdated brochures that promised high school seniors that they were en titled to benefits at a "post secondary" institution. Downey says the stealth of the action represents "an in defensible breach of government faith." Reagan doesn't care what his fellow citizens think of govern ment. He does care what they think about him. If !le's going to convince them he's the "softest touch they've had in a ·long time," he could start by being fair to high school students, who have not only been <Jeprived, but cheated.

Parish marks centenary

With balloons and trumpets, with liturgy and feasting, the Fall River parish of Saints Peter and Paul, last weekend marked it~ 100th birthday. The celebra *0 was' the high point of a year pf jubilee for a parish which rose phoenix.ilike from a disas trous 1973 fire. Events got under way last Friday when 55. Peter and Paul schoolchildren in white and green T-shirts designed by stu dent Lori Pacheco released bal· loons bearing word of the 100th birthday party. They were later rewarded by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin with an extra day out of school. On Saturday came the centen ary Mass with Bishop Cronin as principal celebrant and nearly 30 area priests as concelebrants. Many of the priests had been as sociate pastors at 55. Peter and Paul. Joining the observance were Pastor Gerald Blais of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Rev. James Hornsby of St. Luke Episcopal Church. Both are active in the Niagara Neighborhood Associa. tion, an ecumenical group seek ing with 55. Peter and Paul to improve the quality of life in their area of Fall River. In his homily Bishop Cronin recalled the parish history, be· ginning in 1882 when Father Patrick Doyle was named first pastor by Bishop Matthew Har kins of Providence. During Father Doyle's ll-year pastorate a small church build ing and the present rectory were burlt. A souvenir booklet distribu ted to parishioners includes a re production of an 1895 ticket on a raffle designed to benefit the building fund. For 25 cents, a purchaser had a chance to win a $325 'grand piano, a $50 gold watch, or a $10 gold chain, not to mention a chest of tea, a bar rel of ~our, a ton of coal, a silk umbrella or a plush album. Through the years, recalled

the bishop, "the faith continued "This community of faith in to grow and mature here under deed believed and through care the pastoral of a successive . ful and rather extensive pastor number of devoted pastors; men .al planning, this parish commun ity experienced a new birth.

Dear Editor: I had the great pleasure of .be ing sponsor at the combined con firmation at St. Mary's Church in Taunton. I thought it was beautiful. At first, I was doubtful of its success because it limited the number of people who could at tend, but with 250 confirmation candidates, their sponsors and their parents, this was something I'll remember for a long time. The five different colored robes, the many priests, the beautiful music and of course the bishop himself all added to gether with the newly decorated interior of St. Mary's Church really made for a night to re member. I hope everyone who was there on ,that Wednesday evening en joyed it as much as I did. Ruth Duddy

Ecumenism Dear Editor: The flaw in the 'logic of Brother Hector and' the Catholic sector of the Taize ecumenical community (Anchor, April 2,) as they attempt to present a "visi ble sign of reconciliation" to fa cilitate unity is that they place the Catholic Church in the same footing with heretical sects and in so doing obscure the true Catholic ecumenical sense. For "the only Catholic and practical form of ecumenism is to present the faith, courteously and clearly to Protestants as in dividuals, doing everything possi ble to clear away misconceptions without co~promising the truth. "What the Church teaches is true and it follows that ~here Protestants reject Catholic teach ing they are rejecting the truth, however sincere they may be in' their beliefs. No one is more in jured by the policy of Catholic ecumenists in obscuring the truth to please Protestants than are the Protestants themselves. "If they are unlikely to aban don their errors and accept the . invitation made by Pope Pius XI in 'Mortalium Animos.' Any form of ecumenism that does

not base itself upon this invita

tion is a betrayal of the Catholic

faith." ("Pope John's Council,"
