NEW YORK (NC)-Protestant opposition to public aid to church-related schools is presented in detail in a new National Council of Churches study. However, the study contains a 1961 resolution of the council's· general board which, while it opposes aid it contains the 1961 pro to such schools, endorses though nouncement by the council's "distinctly welfare services" general board.

'Pacem' Is 14'th Peace Encyclical In 20th ,C'entury ,Pacem in Terris is the 14th encyclical of the 20th century based on peace. Pope Bene dict XV wrote three. Pope Pius XI wrote one. Pope Pius XII wrote nine. It is the first for Pope John XXIII. Pope Benedict XV's first en cyclical (Nov. 1, 1914) Ad Beatissimi: (Appeal for Peace) explained that world unrest was due 'to lack of love, contempt for authority, injustice and greed. In Quod lam Diu (On the Future Peace Conference) issued on Dec. 1, 1918, shortly after the , end of World War I, the same Pope called on Catho~ics to thank God that the war was over and urged them to pray for divine guidance for the mem bers of the Vers_ailles peace conference. Two years later, Pope Bene diet· wrote in Pacem, Dei Munus PuIcherrimum(On Peace and Christian Reconciliation, May 23, 1920) that genuine forgive ness is a necessary prelude to peace and that he was grieved at continued ill will among na . tions. . Pope Pius XI also appealed fol:' peace in his first encyclical (Dec. 23, 1922) Ubi Arcano (On the Peace of Christ in the King.. dom of Christ). He reviewed the conditions which followed World War I - hatred between ·nations, fear of the future, class warfare, breakdown of family life and
. spiritual disruption - and urged that men restore God to public and private life as the only source of peace. Pope Pius XII issued his first 'peace encyclical on April 15, 1945. In Communium Interpretes Dolorum (To the Bishops of the world: appeal for prayers for peace dUling May) he said that conduct will change if mel\ have a change of heart and that peace depeRds on justice and charity.

'Take' a Rest, Son'
THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. April 25, 1963
All Humanity Should Weep
Twenty years ago last Friday, the Nazis began the systematic destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. For twenty seven days the Jews fought back. Block by block the Ghetto was burned and when the terrible twenty-seven days were over, there remained only a broad field of rubble, three stories deep. Some thirteen thousand Jews died in the futile re sistance, shot or trapped in burning buildings. Another fifty thousand, mostly old people and children, surrendered to begin ghastly boxcar journies to the gas chambers and the "final solution" of the Jewish problem. Fewer than eighty Jews escaped through sewers under the walls. One of the most tragic photographs of this age is the picture of a little boy, leaving the Ghetto, a youngster no more than eight years old, his hands upraised before Nazi guns, his face filled with all the sadness that thousands of years of persecution and hatred have brought to his people. It is a picture that should haunt the consciences of men everywhere. Twenty years have passed since that tragic drama was lived out. Many changes have taken place.' Germany's Adenauer has called on his countrymen to atone, again and again, for the terrible sins of their nation. Wounds have not healed but have scarred over somewhat. There is no purpose in dredging up the memory of the terrible deeds committed by men against their fellow men in order to rekindle old hatreds. But it does not seem proper to let slip from memory those who suffered so terribly at the hands of their fel-' lows. It does not seem right that such sorrow be unremem bered. It does not seem fitting that men should let pass this anniversary without the renewed resolve to root out of their lives racial and religious prejudice and vicious anti Semitic bias, shreds of which still linger even in the hearts of those who would call themselves civilized or -, God for bid - Christians. No, this is an anniversary when all the world should pause to shed tears with the Jewish remnant that is left. This is an anniversary when all humanity should weep.
Knowledge' Explosion Boston College contributed another distinguished ser vice to the area and to the nation by the high level of its centenary celebration. The opinions and conclusions ex pressed in the series of seminars held as part of the observance will be read and contemplated by scholars and students for many months and even years to come. It was remarkable how the tenor of the seminars centering on the theme, "The Knowledge Explosion" swung from pessimism that there has been so much know ledge rushing in upon men during recent years, to optimism that the human mind and human nature _will meet the challenge of the knowledge explosion and use it with wisdom and for the good of humanity. One professor from M.I.T., Dr. Robert Solow, expressed a feeling that is common in the hearts of many when he expressed depression at -the tremendous expansion of learned publications. "The human race may survive the printing press," he said, "but the mimeograph machine will be the end of it." The vast number of books bursting into print every day, the pressures upon scholars and those interested in keeping mentally alive to perform their jobs while keeping up with the "knowledge explosion," the seeming impossi-, bility for anyone person to even read, much less digest and master, the flood of publication threatening to inundate the literate world - this is by nO means the least of the problems brought on by the "knowledge explosion." How man can solve this problem remains to be seen. All the speed-reading courses in the world can only bring him so far. And there are physical limits beyond which he cannot drive himself, limits to how much he can absorb at a single sitting before a tired mind starts to rebel and a weary body cries "enough." Perhaps it will be only the rare man who can gain a general knowledge of most of the significant new publica tions in anyone field. And the rest of the job must be done by the specialists who, before they even begin, limit what they are trying to cover. There seems to be no hope at all that the printing will decline. 'Man, instead of praying for knowledge, might do better to pray> for the wisdom to use well whatever know ledge that time and energy and intelligence can seize. •

By Mary Tinley Daly Furor over "managed news" continues in the halls of Congress, among Government depa~tmen~s, and is ~ ,con versational topic from the swankIest dmner partIes to over-the-back-fence.

Good Timing On the domestic front, the in ner domestic circle bounded by the four walls of your house and of ours, there is plenty of news manipulation being plotted and executed. Sometimes this is done clumsily becoming nothing but an alibi'. Often, though, it is handled with such consummate skill that the recipients of the news react exacUy the way the planner had intended-with dis may, joy, sympathy or;.....ulti· mate achievement, - favorable action. Mind you, this is not a case of lying or distortion of the news, simply a carefully thought out presentaton of factual infor tion at the right time, to the right person, in the right mood. For instance, the fact that the Smiths have a new car could be merely a ho-hum tid bit of neighborhood information in the Winter and when all's well with the family chariot. The same announcement in late Spring when the open road beckons and the family car is too weary to respond to the call of the wild, can result in a trip to a dealer's showroom. This is what is known as "timing of news," not manipulation. Then there is the conditioning process preceding arrival of re port cards, usually started at dinner the day before the mail man cometh. The process can begin with anything, say the weather: "Sure 'lucky to have it Springy 80 I can get rid of the sore throat that has had me down such a long time.

"Yeah, about six Christmases ago, and it's all chipped around the top and the handle wobbles and you said it takes up too much room in the ]~efrig." "What about the yellow pitch er?" "Well, it won't take up room any more!" Climate thus created can rea sonably be expected to produce only an "accidents will happen" response.

"You may tell us to mind our own business, but my wife and I are concerned about the young friend of one of our sons. Although a fine student, he is just getting by in !lis third year at a prep seminary because he doesn't want to go there. His parents claim they can't afford to their lofty aspirations for their children may not be realized. send him to another Catho All good parents cherish high lic school. We think their real hopes for their children and be reason is that they hope he will ebange his mind. This seems doubtful, yet if be continues to do poorly, he won't be able to enter college eith(''". Although we're not in a position to talk . to his parents, what advice would it be prudent to give Ilim?" There an be no doubt that you and your wife have a legitimate con c ern, Henry, though it may be difficult to decide the best way to deal with the situation. You are properly aware that you may not know all the facts in the case, and that M "outsiders" you have very limited means of rendering help. Since his parents have ap parently discussed the problem and made their decision, they will probably resent any direct ill t e r v e n t ion on your part, whether you think they are .cting wisely or not. Ri:ht to Counsel On the other hand, the boy has a serious problem and clearly lIleeds competent advice. There may be other reasons for his IM)Or academic record this year, but if the chief cause is his dis- turbed state of mind over being torced to attend the seminary, It would be \lDJust not to make tIOme effort·to come to his as .istance. Although the situation c:a1ls !or prudence and tact it would ,be proper for you to advise him :'0 consult his c'ounselor, spiritual. director or father confessor at the school, or one of the priests Ja. his home. parish. He should explain the situation, tell ~. frankly how he feels, and then follow their advice. He has a right to such counsel . _d should not feel that he fa .. is 0 bey Ins his parents or wrongly acting contrary to their wiahes.
Groundless Fears It may also prove helpful and reassuring if you explain to him .at none of his teachers or ~iritual directors wish him to choose a religious vocation un less he does so with full know )edge 'and freedom. Experience shows that some ,.oung people hesitate to seek eompetent spiritual guidance ,once they have changed the~ mInds about their vocations .be cause they fear they may be talked into following a course they really don't want. Such fears are groundless, yet It is not diUicult to understand why they may arise, for at' this early age a change in vocational choice usually implies consid ..able uncertainty and Is floe lIUently accompanied by a false tense of guilt. ChaUe...-m: Task How are we to ju.dge the atti tudes of the boy's parents in this matter? Well, Henry, I think we an all understand the disap pointment good parents must ex perience when they learn that

cause parents are only human, these hopes are often based as much upon wishful thinking as upon a realistic appraisal of. their children's individual capa bilities and needs.

'Story of Spanish Conquest 'Constantly. Astonishing'
By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D. D. Florence Nightingale, in a moment of self-revelation, described the opposition she met as a woman nurse, the number of times she was ordered out of hospitals and then kept waiting for hours to re-enter. She said that she ignored all of these things for the sake of the work: "What am I to my Master's work? When people offend me, they offend the Master before they do me.. And who am I that I should not choose to bear what my Master chooses to bear?"
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy The Spanish conquest on this continent is episodicl111y but coherently rehearsed in Paul Horgan's admirably pro portioned and written book Conquistadors in North.Am.erican History (Farrar, Straus and Cudahy. $5.50). HIghlIghted in this artfully detailed ac Columbus's further career Is count are three phases: the briefly and f rag men tar 11 y first, the voyage and dis glimpsed, with the accent on the eoveries of Christopher Co 'troubles and disappointments lumbus; the second, the cam paigns, victories, and eclipse of Hernando de Cortes; the third, the long, bitter struggle to win the vast t'e r r ito r y of New Mexico. It is a constant ly astonishing story, one of ex traordinary vi sion, valor, and· tenacity, as well as of greed and .. cruelty. In summing up, Mr. Horgan seeks to distinguish the motives behind it. One was "a taste for glory under arms and a. swift rise to wealth." Another was an almost mysti cal dedication to "that great impersonal power which en closed them all - the authority of the Crown." ·At one point, Mr. Horgan viv Idly describes the making of those famous swords, the Toledo blades, which had so important • part in the conquest. To an iron core veneers of steel were welded. The first im mersion in water from the Tagus river was accompanied by the chant·. "Blessed be the hour in which Christ was born,'" and the succeeding plunges by the chants "Holy Mary who bore him," "Hot is the iron," "Good will be this tempering," and "If It is God's will." On the bevel were. inscribed such sentiments as ."For my King" or' "For my Law." The Spaniards were greatly concerned that the legality of their claims be clear and for mally enunciated. Fundamental was Pope Alexander VI's deeree Of 1493, which assigned the lands of the Western hemisphere to Spain and Portugal. Because of this, the Spaniards held that not only apostolic, but' even divine authority endorsed their ac quisitions. Lust for Gold But the lust for aggrandize ment, if unacknowledged aloud, played a principal part. Mr. Hor gan makes use of Aztec chro nicles and memoirs, and from these draws the observation of the Indians that the Spaniards ,~ were like monkeys in seizing upon gold. "It was as if only then they were satisfied, sated, and gladdened." Not that it did much good. A minority, chiefly the leading figures, grew wealthy indeed. But when it came to the ordinary 801dier's share, this proved tiny, if not entirely illusory. And although Spain itself was IJ)r a time enriched, the influx of treasure actually produced, in the end, financial disorder which was a principal factor in the de cline of the Spanish power and empire. ~ew World That, however, was remote, when, on Aug. 3, 1492, Columbus eet sail for the unknown. He had three ships, the largest being of 100 tons. And the company of the three totalled but 90. All save four were Spanish. The monthly pay was $7 for seamen. $4.60 for cabin boys, and as much as $14 for officers. Seeking India and its spices, these mem were bent on sharing what was to them the highest good, their religion, and they were prepared to do the sharing by force if need be. They reached not India but a coral island, small but lovely, \." which they named San Salvador, and shortly thereafter they moved on, in quest of Japan but actually coming upon Cuba, A new world had been opened up.
which beset this altogether ex ceptional benefactor of Spain. The main narrative, however, shifts to the North American mainland, to a period almost three decades later, and to the exploits of Cortes. Exploits of Cortes He was a genius in the field, in sustaining a parlous under taking, in managing and or ganizing freshly taken areas. He bestrides the book as, for so long, he bestrode Mexico. Again it is a matter of a hand fu1 accomplishing the unbeliev able under the direction of an heroic figure. Cortes had only 500 men at arms when he set out from Cuba to investigate the Gulf of Mexico and take the kingdom of Mexico. He landed at a place he called Vera Cruz and pr'oceeded by degrees and by dint of ~xcruciating effort toward Tenochtitlan, later known as the city of Mexico. Cortes Restl,ess This, of course, was the capi tal of the Aztec realm, ru1ed at the time by the emperor Monte zuma. The Aztec was a distinc tive culture and civilization, in lY\any respects impressively ad vanced. Its wealth was very notable, as were its arts, archi tecture, material ordering. Its religion was fanatical and cruel in the extreme. Its temples were many, and all stank of death, for human sacrifice was a .basic element here, practiced daily. By force and by guile Cortes managed to prevail, but the con quest was insecure for an ex tenaed period, and could be pro nounced final only in August 'of 1521. After countless hazards and reverses, the indomitable Cortes established Spanish rule. But he would not rest. Im mediately' he thought of incur sions into Middle America, and it was he who fi1'9t proposed north ward undertakings aimed at' California and New Mexico. Attra,,:ts Distrust Being so spectacuJ.arly suc cessful, he inevitably attracted I suspicion and distrust. The Crown, which he had served well, became wary of him. Steps were taken to curb, and even to displace, him. He doughtily and shrewdly resisted, only to lose out in the end. • Mea n w h il e, 'friars were brought in to do the work of evangelization. A cathedral was built. Later a university was inaugurated and books imported by the thousands. The first print ing press was brought into ~e new world. And there began the forma tion of a new people, a blend' of the European and the native, which would eventually insist on ita own identity and inde pendence. Of Major Signficance Running through this col. oriul history, at once stirring and' appalling, is the tragedy of the mistreatment of the Indian. True, he' was not wiped out as in New England, but he was unconscionably exploited. Both the Crown and the Church recognized him u • ,human being, the brother of the European, and called for the protection of his rights: But on the scene itself, he was in fact enSlaved and terribly abused. Here is a long chapter 'in the making 'of the American world with which most of us are but hazily acquainted. Yet it Is of major significance and marvel ously interesting. In Mr. Horgan it has an informed, sympathetic, uncommonly apt and articulate teller.
YOU.
This brings up the questlou of how much we reall~ love Christ in the Church. Can we say that we love Christ when we do not love that for which He came to this earth, namely, to save sinners? How many souls have we ever saved? How many sin ners have we converted? A survey reveals that twice as many Protestants ask their neighbors to Join their Church as do Cath olics.
MODERATOR: Rev. John E. Boyd, administrator of St. Patrick'~ parish, Fall River, and Director of the Catholic Welfare Bureau, has been named by Bishop Connolly' . as Moderator of the Fall River Cat hoi i c Woman's Club.
Mark 50th Year At St. Francis Guests and friends of St. Fran cis Res ide nee for business women, Whipple Street, Fall River, will mark the 50th an niversary of the institution at an open house and reception from 2 to 5 Sunday afternoon, May 19. The program will be high lighted by celebration of solemn Benediction by Bishop Conolly. The residence is located. ,in three houses on Whipple Street, but the center of activities will be at 182 Whipple, while Bene diction will be celebrated at the chapel of the Franciscan. Mis sionaries of Mary, 621 SCC9nd Street, d ire c t 1 y behind the Whipple Street houses. Actual 50th birthday of the residence, formerly known as st. Francis Guild, came last Decem-. ber, notes Mother Gistil~ superior, but observance was postponed until the May date due to the absence of BishoP Connolly at the Ecumenical Council. In charge of the residence h! Sister ~quinata, F .M.M. Other works of the Franciscan Mls. sionaries of Mary in Fall River include staffing of Espirito Santo School and conducting of severai catechism classes.
But what Is love, anyway? Love is some thing we do. It is a verb, not a noun. It is something we do to a neighbor for Christ's sake. An Indian who was converted to Chris tianity by a vision of Christ refused to enter the ministry because he said he could learn more by practicing Christ's love of neighbor than he could by studying about Christ. An African catechist, his legs eaten off to the knees by leprosy, makes forty converts a day. Here is a man who truly loves! We must be active not just as human beings, but as Catho lics. After listening to a Communist speaker in New York, a layman turned to a' policeman and Said: "Why can't you stop this attack on the government?" The policeman replied: "If you are a Christian, you have a far better case than he. Just work at your Faith as this man does at his, and Communism will be swallowed up In your goodness." The Society for the Propaga tion of the Faith "works at the faith" in its 80,000 schools, 10,000 hospitals and dispensaries, 400 leper colonies, 2000 orpllanues and 500 homes for the aged.

The final quarter of the school year has now well begun and many seniors in our Diocesan high schools are making plans for next year. Many have already been notified of, acceptance at the college of their choice while others are anxiously watching the mail , waiting for answers to their blessing of the children, games and refreshments. applications. Seven hundred Junipero Club
and nine seniors will graduSpiritual activities are very
ate from our Diocesan high schools this coming June with a total of 396 planning to attend college. It is a little early to determine how many of these graduates will receive scholarships, since most announcements are made during Mayor early June. However, there have been m 0 r ethan 50 scholarships awarded thus far in the various schools. Bound for College The two Catholic high schools in Taunton, Coyle and Bishop Cassidy, have 167 seniors, of whom 97 plan to attend college in the Fall. A partial report lists 10 with scholarships. This will be the first graduation from the new Bishop Cassidy high school. A number of Bishop Cassidy graduates will enter nursing schools. Holy Family and St. Anthozp'" High in New Bedford plus Sacred Hearts Academy in Fairhaven will have a total of 121 graduating seniors. Of. these 74 plan to attend institutions of higher learning. At the present time there are 10 known scholarships in this area. Bishop Stang High in North Dartmouth will graduate its first group of seniors this year. One hundred and fifty-four will take. part in graduation ceremonies. More than 50 per cent of the class plan to go on to college. Stang has been the recipient of 15 scholarships at the present writing. From Dominican Academy, Jesus-Mary Academy, M s gr. Prevost, Mount St. Mary and Sacred Hearts Academy will come 267 June graduates. These five Fall River schools plan to send 155 of their graduates on to. college. In the Fall River area there are nine known scholarships granted. National Merit Awards The majority of college-bound seniors will enroll in New England colleges with Massachusetts schools predominant. Not included in the above figures are a substantial number of students who will enter junior colleges or two-year business schools.· Additionally, some have already been hired for full-time jobs following graduation, while others are still looking for employment. Soon the r-.~ational Merit Scholarship Corporation will announce its 1963 awards. Undoubtedly some of our Diocesan students will be among the 1000 winners who will share' in the scholar~ ship aid. Originally established by the Ford Foundation, I the N.M.S.C. now has many additional sponsors in the fields of labor, industry and the professions.

LINCOLN (NC) - More thall 1,000 persons were confirmed by six bishops in a ceremony here attended by 9,000 people. Every seat in Pershing Audi torium was occupied and. many persons had to stand during the ceremony, a 'highlight of the Lincoln diocese's 75th anniver sary. The demonstration of faith was believed to be the most -colorful religious ceremony ever held in Nebraska. Bishop James V. Casey of Lincoln said in his remarks for the occasion that "for our jubi-' lee celebration we chose this particular event in order to" em phasize the role of the layman in the mission of Christ on earth." \ He also said that "from the present Ecumenical Council there shall emerge a renewed and strengthened Church which shall look to a spiritually formed laity to fulfill its unique func tion in the Mystical Body." . 'Christ-like Concept' Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh, who preached the sermon, urged the audience to form a "Christ-like concept of the Church, as against an elab orate religious structure paral leling and competing with the temporal structure that is the state." The following bishops also took part in administering Con. firmation: Bishop Charles H. Helmsing of Kansas City-St. Jo seph; Bishop Frederick W. Frek ing of Salina, Coadjutor Bishop' Leo C. Byrne of Wichita and Auxiliary Bishop George J. Biskup of Dubuque.

Undersecretary of Labor John F. Henning spoke to the' second of three general sessions at the 60th anniversary convention of the National Catholic Education al Association. Henning cited figures showing that markedly higher unemploy ment is found among low-income minority groups because they lack schooling,. Predicting grave social tensions if this' situation continues, he appealed that Catholic high schools stay in urban areas and help the com munity by educating teenagers of minorities such as Puerto Ricans,Mexicans and Negroes. Henning said there is a tend ency today for Catholic high schools to move to the flourish ing suburbs. He said this is due in large part to the movement by the schools with the majority of American Catholics who have gone from low-income to middle . and upper-income groups.
Face Social Crisis
"But this is leaving behind .millions of Catholics who are in great need of your services," he . , iaid. . . ""Certainly it takes a sense' of social .conscience to stay behind in urban areas," he said. "But . whether you like it or not you are facing the social crisis of our time. 'In a historical sense, because Catholic education's vitality came from its struggle to help a lower income group, you would be· abandoning your tradition if you choose the easier way."

Evidence Shows Bishop- Neumann u. S. Citizen
THE ANCHOR-1 Thurs., April 25, 1963
Slate Druggists
Meet in Capi.al
WASHINGTON (NO) Documentary evidence has come to light show.ing that Venerable John Nepomucene Neumann, C.SS.R., fourth Bish op of :Philadelphia, was a naturalized citizen of the United States. Bishop Neumann will be beat ified Sunday, June 23 in a cere mony in Rome. He will be the first male citizen of the United States so honored. Proof of Bishop Neumann's citizenship exists in the form of his passport certificate, dated Oct. 13, 1854, and uncovered in the National Archives here by Father M i c h a e I 'J. .Curley, C.SS.R. The Redemptorist priest said it had been believed that Bishop Neum-ann was a naturalized citizen of the U.S. but up until this time no documentary evi dence of the fact was known. The passport certificate, nota rized by the Notary Public for the Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania, provides such evidence. Physical Description Besides testifying to his citi zenship, the certificate contains a description of the Bishop, who was 43 at the time. It says he was 5 feet, 3% inches tall, had a ''high'' forehead, hazel eyes and a "broad and short" nose. It describes him as having a large mouth, an "ordinary" chin, dark brown hair, a "dark" com plexion and a "broad" face. Bishop Nevmann will be the third U.S. citizen to be beatified. The first was St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, whom the Church recognized as a saint in 1946. Mother Cabrini, a native of Italy, was like Bishop Neumann a naturalized citizen. The first native-born U.S. citizen to be declared "blessed" was Mother Elizabeth Seton, foundress of the Sisters m Charity in the United States, whom Pope John beatified in ceremonies in Rome March 17.
Asks Orthodox Join In Unity Movement NEW YORK (NC) - A plea that Orthodox Christians join in the worldwide movement for church unity was voiced by Or. thodox Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople. In a message read at the Greek Orthodox cathedral here by Archbishop Iakavos, Greek Or thodox Primate of North and South America, Patriarch Athe nagoras urged Orthodox church men "to emerge with decisive steadfastness from the barriers of our self-imposed isolation, and lead our churches to the unity anticipated for centuries." "The principal Christian con· fessions are approaching each other with a sincere desire to cooperate as sister churches in combating the spiritual and social ills of our time," the mes sage said.

Youthful Spartans to Clash With 'Hilltoppers Today
•
By Jack Kineavy Stang and Durfee will partially resolve the multiple deadlock for second. place in Bristo~ County when they meet this afternoon at Alumni Field, Fall River. The surprising Spartans, decisioned 1-0 by league leading North Attleboro on Monday, are looking to base is Jack Lowney and in the bounce back against the 'de outfield Paul Espinola and John fending champion Hilltop Doherty. Centerfielder Espinola pers, easy victors over Fair is off to a great start in the slug. haven early this week after suc cessive losses to Taunton and Rogers. Coach Charley Connell is expected to
send Ray Le·
Blanc to ~he
mound, w h i 1 e
Durfee mentor Don Montle will
likely go with
his ace, Eric Isadore. The H i I Ito P pers were vic timized by in. juries to key personnel last week. Woody Berube pulled in the Taunton game and second baseman Dave Botelho joined him on the sidelines prior to the Rogers game. Both may be out of this after noon's contest. Durfee has an im. portant game coming up Satur. day at New Bedford and it is -hoped that each will be ready to return to the lineup. Looking over Stang's early season record-they're 2-2 over· all-we're impressed by the low «oring games in which they've been involved. This suggests not only effective pitching but also sound defense. Coach Connell in a pre-season chat indicated the Spartans would stress defensive play and that they've done to date. A strong Dartmouth nine eked out a 5-3 victory over Stang in the season's opener. Then followed victories over Taunton, 3-2, and Attleboro, 5-4. Young Team And this is primarily a young team. Only two starters, pitcher Ray LeBlanc and shortstop Dan Gonsalves, are member of the Class of '63. Juniors in the start. ing lineup include catcher Dan Boisvert, second baseman Tom Alusio, thIrd sacker Marcel Vigeant whose 9th inning home run was the difference in the win over Taunton, and Felix Witkowic:z: who patrols left field. With Don Canastra on the mound the sophomores strike II balance with the '64ers. At first
ging depertment having author· ed two round trippers in his first four games. Canastra, a promis. ing young righthander, boasts a 1-1 record. Undefeated clubs in the area are at a premium. On1y North Attleboro has survived the first week and a half of Bristol County' play unscathed and the Rocketeers, a veteran team, may b... expected to continue to pace .the field off their initial three performances. Case High of Swansea Is Narry's only unde. feated nine. The Cardinals, also an experienced club, were listed among the league's primary con tenders in pre-season analysis. Dartmouth Strong Coach Kevin Cadieux' Dart. mouth team playing an inde pendent schedule is off and running to a fine 4-0 start. The Indians took both ends of a doubleheader fro m Brighton High of Boston last Saturday by the convin~ing scores of H-I and 6-0. Ace Larry Petitjean applied the calsomine job, while Mark Devitt and Dave Thompson corn_ bined to hold the visitors in the opener.
