Special Gifts Phase Sparks Strong Drive The results of the first phase of ,the 31st Catholic Charities Appeal has pleased its directors and stimulated enthusiastic hope for the final success of the total campaign. Most. Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River and honorary chairman of the Appeal, said this morning: "The first returns of the special gifts are heartening. This indicates a cordial reception to the solicitors and a generous response to the needs' of charity by the donors. I hope this same enthusiasm will be shown in the second phase of the Appeal-the parish house-tohouse campaign on Sunday, May 7 between the hours of 12 noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon." Raymond E. Lambert, Sr., of North Attleboro, lay chairman of this year's Appeal, noted that in the 31st annual call for funds' for . charity and social service

works the special gift solicitors are meeting with generous response. He said: "I am calling upon everyone to join together in helping Bishop Cronin with

the tremendous job of continuing and maintaining these great institutions of charity."

This special phase will continue until May 6.' On the following day, May 7, the parish houseto-house phase will be initiated. Over 750 volunteers are participating in this first phase. This year's Appeal is especially dedicated to providing tw'o new charitable institutions for the Diocese of Fall' River: Nazareth Hall in Attleboro and the New St.Vincent's Home in Fall River.

Nazareth Hall Offers Youngsters Chance To Learn Vocational Skills ,

ST. MICHAEL, OCEAN GROVE

When Sister Maureen Hanley, ' RSM, says proudly "They're making it!" she is talking about. the young people enrolled at the Nazareth Pre-Vocational Center on Highland Avenue, Fall River. The more than 20 girls and boys, between the ages of 16 and 22, whom the center is trying to guide toward such roles as "a carpenter',s helper, a teacher's helper or a nurse's helper," are largely alumni of Nazareth Hall, the Sisters of Mercy-staffed school for younger exceptional children.

It is because they; and others like them, have the potential to develop 'further that the. prevocational center was established five years ago. Now some of them" having attained a degree of maturity and readiness, are beginning to try working, and thereby reaching a goal that a few years ago was only a dream. Nazareth's director cautions, however, that their achievements are not within reach of all exceptional children, and that attempts to push others to perform similarly could prove frustrating

for those' who do not have the same potential. Also, she observes while some succeed,others fail, but "we keep trying." There is a tuition fee for Nazareth, but many of the advancements made possible at the center receive financial support from Catholic Charities Appeals. The work with exceptional children derives support also from the annual Bishop's Charity Ball. The assistant director of the girls' division at Nazareth, Mrs. Frank Plichta, knows that she Turn to Page Ten

Bishops of Chile See Propaganda

Declines P'residency Of Consortium

Poisoning Nation SANTIAGO (NC)-The Chilean bishops said justice and equality are making some progress under Marxist ru:e, but warned that violence and propaganda are "poisoning the nation" and dividing its people. . The statement, issued after the' bishops' yearly meeting, asked "political leaders in the government and the opposition" to keep a clear distinction between the realms- of God and Caesar "in building this new society." "It is not only a matter of political action, but of style and motivation," the bishops added. "It is a matter of clean hands and pure heart."

SAN FRANCISCO (NC) Father Albeit Jonsen, retiring president of the University of San F:rancisco, has declined the position of acting president of the Graduate Theological Union at near.by Berkeley. Father Jonsen had resigned from his university post effective June 30, but he has agreed to remain as president until a suocessor is found. Soon after his resignation was revealed, it was announced that the Jesuit had been named acting president of the Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley, an ecumenioal consortium of nine theological schools.

'Sinklng Into Chaos' The bishop spoke as this country of 10 million people faced further polarization on such issues as socialist control of business and resources, civil liberties and the high cost of living. The same week opposition groups organized a rally of 200,000 people here to protest alleged violations of th'e constitution by the Marxist government of President Salvador Allende. "We are asking aU believers to pray to God that He may save the fatherland in this difficult hour, that He may save us from sinking into chaos, hatred and misery," the bishops said. The meeting at nearby Punta\ de Tralca received a message from Cardinal Jean Villot, Vati· can secretary of state, who praised the bishops stand regarding "the <:urrent circumstances, so fraught with problems." He pledged Pope Paul. VI's support "for your pastoral concerns." Spiritual Values The papal message singled out the challenge posed to the bishops by militant pro-leftist priests it:l Chile. These are particularly active through the Christians for Socialism Moveqlent, whose membership is 'about 80 priests and 120 lay leaders, _ "The Pope is praying," Cardinal Villot wrote, "for the success of the efforts ·each bishop is making in order to -lead with wisdom the generous aspirations of the priests, in harmony with the true mission of the Church,_ by fostering a continuous dialogue with each one of those who· seem to be threatened or led astray by trends and actions contrary to that apostolic ministry." Cardinal Villot added the Pope was persona.Jly concerned about these priests, "whom he earnestly exhorts to devote their services more and more to the overall development of the People of God, based on the spiritual values upheld by the Church."

Bis!hops' Mee.ting Disappoints Reporters ATLANTA (NC) - The show was a turkey. At least, that was the opinion of the religious writers who reviewed ,it. The quality of the acting was not really challenged. It was the script. After all, the reviewers had been led to believe that the story lines would be different from what the players actually mouthed. For the past six years or so the show had been presented in various cities throughout the country, and at least once a year in Washington, D. C. It was a _private affair-for Catholic bishops only-with not even a sneak preview. Occasionally news filtered out to the press that the script was a humdinger of suspense and had a central plot of hair-raising qualities. When the newsmen linally were allowed in to the' staging here, they had expected a strong performance by the episcopal Davids- and Goliaths. They had surmised that there would be verbal· slugging matches, harangues, and the enfolding of a life and death struggle between heroes and villains.

Pope Stresses Joy in Christ VATICAN OITY (NC) - The Christian in this 'world may suffer, but his joy in the Risen Christ will keep him from being pessimistic, Pope Paul VI told thousands of persons in the Vatican Audience Hall here. Continuing his series of reflections on the meaning of Easter, the Pope said that both joy and sorrow have their place in Christian living, "Joy and sorrow are not contradictory," the Pope said. "The sovereign law of dying in order to live is the key to understanding Christ the priest and victim."

Admitting that the Christian is taught not only to honor suffering, but to tolerate and treasure it, the Pope repeated the promise of Christ that the sorrowful today will be the joyous of tomorrow. Recalling the exhortation of Saint Paul to "rejoice always in the Lord," the Pope added: "The Christian truly is not able to be pessimistic . . . (true joy) is the treasure proper to the Christian, proper to him who truly believes in the Risen Christ, who adheres to Him and lives in Him."

Don't Talk' Ab~ut ":i!Qney"

People usuaIly do not want to hear, the Church.. talk about money. They know, of course, that bills .must be paid, th'.lt financial commitments mu~t be met,. and this is not done on love alone. But there is a certain hostility to h~aring priests talk about money. ;::;"' .. ;,l~' '.~" Very weIl, the answer then is not to talk about' money but to talk about Christ. . . Christ came to save men's souls. He came' to show His love for all men; Christians must cooperate with Christ in this saving process. And they must cooperate with Christ in 'loving all men. . . Love is a much used'and'abused word and concept in · this age. It is used to describe anything an adolescent infatuation to an excuse for, adultery. Perhaps Aristotle gave the most perfect definition 'of love when he caIled it "willing the good of another." , Jesus Christ certainly willed the gOOd of all men and gave Himself to death for this..~hrist in His liife willed the good of men by healing them in soul and by healing .them inbody, by telling· His followers to help bring salvation to others and also to reach out and giVE! comfort to the sorrowirig, and counsel to the doubtful and food to the needy and drink to the thirsty and shelter to the , homeless. This, too, is love. It is not merely wishing another well, for, as 8t. James has said, anyone can wish a person well and then turn away and do nothing to bring it about May DoilY and, this is a far cry from Christianity. 'Love is doing something for others in the name of Christ and by the inspiration of His grace and out of the abundance that God has provid,ed for a person. .

In fact, some of mine were baking before they could really read. If I ask a 10 year old to wash the dishes while I make the cake, she has no enthusiasm. But if she mixes the cake, ,she's all interest. She soon learns to handle herself in the kitchen, both cooking and cleaning up her own dishes. Why? Because she knows that I have the confidence in her to let her tackle something a little beyond anything she has done before. How else can a child grow? We ha,ve had disasters.

Bishop Stanton to Retire From Director Post NEWARK (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Martin Stanton will retire from hin positions as archdiocesan director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and as pastor of St. Aedan's parish in Jersey City: . .

I've had six and seven-yearolds painting walls. They make a mess. but they also learn to paint. And by helping clean up the slop, they also learn to paint neatly. We've had all sort.s of mishaps, but they've also learned how to touch up paint jobs, and how to put a patch in the wallpaper. They Get Their Way When we're redecorating the children's rooms, they're allowed to select the paper and paint. As long as the choice isn't unreasonably ugly, they get their way. If it',s terrible, it gives me a chance to prove my ability in persuasive salesmanship. By our showing confidence in them, they learn self-relil!,nce. Our three sons, ranging from 16. to 13, 'redecorated their roomincluding ;putting -up a new tile ceiling. They figured the materials they'd need .. and "in some instances ran short. They learned more about the importance of careful calculations than if we had figured the job for them. They measured and hung their wall paper, and did a very professional job. They even tackled something I would have avoided. They did a two-tone job-a paneling effect up part of the. wall, and a neutral pattern in a bove.It required striking' a level line around the room. In our 80-yearold house, that's not easy. But, by letting them prove themselves, they did it! ' . It seems to me there are some things youngsters learn very early in life. They know when they are being "conned by an adult; and they know it much earlier than we recognize. ,I think the "generation gap" is widest when parents lack the courage to ,show confidence in their children. The gap can be bridged by prudently giving your child support in tackling soinething just a little bigger than you really feel he is capable of doing.

A number of parishioners are working on arrangements for the activities with the pastor and his assistants, Rev. Maurice Parent and Father Gendreau. Father Martineau has served as pastor since July, 1969, when he returned "after a leave of absence of 25 years," He was assigned to St. Michael's as a curate from 1942 to 1944, during the end of the 10-year pastorate

of Msgr. Leonidas Lariviere. Father Lariviere had' effected improvements on the parish property but the increasing numbers of parishioners necessitated major changes when Rev. Msgr. Joseph Cournoyer assumed the pastorate in 1945. Now pastor emeritus, Msgr. Cournoyer made the arrangements for the annex to the school and for additional living quarters for the sisters, ,in 1951, and for the renovation to the church in 1962. "We call it the new church," says Father Martineau as he looks forward to the celebration of its "most amazing day."

Archbishop Ryan Denies Statement Is Anti-Semitic WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Coali~ion of American Nuns (NCAN) disagreed sharply with a statement by Archbishop Joseph T. Ryan of Anchorage, Alaska, that Jews are illegally driving Arabs out of Jerusalem in ord~r to "Judaize the city." Sister Ann Gillen, ·a member of the coalition's executive board said the archbishop's recently released statement will "be antisemitic, by effect, ,if not in intent." The nuns group also decried the timing of the statement from a high·ranking American prelate when petitions are being sent to President Nixon calling for a "Solidarity Day for Soviet Jewry" when he visits Russia. "The anti-Semites, and they still exist in significant numbers, will not feel they now have hierarchial approval to vent their anti-Jewish animosty," Sister Gillen sa,id. Rejects Report

Bishops, Call Election Fra'ud . SAN SALVADOR (NC)-Two bishops have denounced EI Salvador's recent presidential and congressional elections as a fraud and warned that the people's frustration can lead to violence. Archbishop Luis Chavez of. San Salvador said forgiveness, the lesson of H,oly Week, "is harder to understand when one lives in bad situations -that can arouse the wrath of the people."

The first chapter of the synodal document "Justice in the World" takes up again the ,main themes of the introduction. It asserts that the whole human family is searching for a new planetary unity, for a new sense of universal human dignity, equality and The fourth storm is the deep· responsibility and for a new est and potentially the most understanding of the inter- tragic.

"Our people have been frustrated and made desolate," he added. Bishop Pedro Arnoldo Aparicio of San Vicente banned the traditional thanksgiving ceremonies for the inauguration June 30 of the president-eleot, CoI.Arturo A. Molina of the incumbent National Conciliation party (PCN), and instead asked that an hour of prayer for justice and peace be held in the 40 churches.

Spirit: Ener!gizer of Christian Sp irituality

Jerry Kozinski, the brilliant Polish 110velist, published a book last year entitled "Being There." The title is a reminder of one of the major requirements for credibility in our times: the rec.:uirement of presence. Today one must put oneself on the line. One must be present; involved; concerned. One must be there. Even for God, the requirement h: not lifted. To be credible to modern' man, God too must be present; he must be there. For Christians, another way of saying this is, "I believe in the Holy Spirit." .

SR. ,.,ARIE HARRIS, CSJ

The great meaning of the Holy Spirit in Christianity has been the affirmation of God's presence in space and time, If there is any doubt that God is present to us, that he can be found in human experience and human life, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. dispels it completely. Spirit is Here

The Spirit is the .fulfillment of the prorpise made by Jesus at the Last Supper, "I will ask the Father and he will send you a Comforter, a Friend, to be there, with you, forever." To believe that the Spirit has come, that he continues to dwell in our midst and in our experience is: to take ser,iously the words of, Jesus that he will never abandon us, indeed that he has never abandoned us.'

Writer Shares Memories . Of Vanished Ebbets' Field

The term "fragrant memories" seems hardly to apply to Ebbets Fi.eld, the now vanished home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. "Fond memories"· is more appropriate, and Roger Kahn has some .which he shares with readers of his new book, The Boys of Summer (Harper & Row, 49 E. 33rd eyes, can you see it?' 'Ah.

figure in it. The first is that of the au'thor's boyhood, when he lived on a street along which ran the trolley to Ebbets Field. The second is that of the years, in the early 1950s, when, as a baseball writer for the New York Herald Tribune, he covered the Dodgers. The third is the very recent past, when he visited many of the Brooklyn stars of yesterday. It is this last section which is most interesting. There is rather too much about Mr. Kahn's early days, and hi!; recapitulation of his experienc:es while writing about the Dodgers palls before one is done with it. But his glimpses of the twilight of some great players is informative and often moving. Aura of Regret There is Billy Cox, for example, who not too long ago was a dazzling third baseman. Today . he is back in his native rural Pennsylvania, tending bar in the sleazy clubhouse of the Social Order of Owls. Once lithe and quick, he is now tubby and sluggish, but not, it seems, discon.tented. He suggests nothing of the glory days which are gone. Duke Snider is better situated, but not so well off as he had expected. He saved his m~ney and invested it in a way which seemed wise. But the investment soured, and he lives on a lesser scale than he had anticipated. There is an a.ura of regret about him.

There is bitterness in Carl Furillo. When Mr. Kahn succeeded in finding him, Furillo was working as a hard hat on a construction project in Manhattan. The bitterness' results from his conviction that he was unfairly treated by management after being injured. In fact there is little evidence in this book to indicate that management was ever anything other than callous and calculating in its treatment of the players The title comes from.:a poem by Dylan' Thomas, specifically the line, "I see tqe boys of summer in their ruirL" If "ruin" is by no means an exact designation for the present lot of most of the players here represented,. there is certainly a great change from the brief glamorous phase. of their lives. A book like this could prove instructional reading for the young, but there is the problem of the language often used. Pro-. fanities and obscenities are alf too common in these pages, as they undoubtedly are in the everyday speech of baseball players. Run-Through Another excursion into the past is provided by John Housemon in his autobiographicaI'Run.Through (Simon and Schuster, 630 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. 10020. $9.95). Mr. Houseman is perhaps best known as the co-founder, with Orson Welles, of the short-lived Mercury Theatre in the 1930s. And the Mercury is surely notorious for the panic-producing radio broadcast, in 1938, of H.G. Wells' War of ·the Worlds. The Mercury radio version of the Wells book purported to be an ·eye witness' account of an invasion of this country by a force from Mars. It was done in the form of a news program, was taken -literally by thousands of radio listeners, and caused turmoil across the county. Mr. Houseman recalls the affair in detail, and its consequsnces.

'Invigorating' Message Priest Says Jesus Experience Requires Thoughtful Consideration BHILADELPHIA (NC) - The modern religious phenomenon called the Jesus Experience has a,message "as invigorating as the fire and wind that changed the Apostles in the upper room", a theologian told delegates to the 69th annual National Catholic Educational Association convention here.

Catholic Pentecostalists - one branch of the Jesus movement-":' "combine their spirit-filled lives with loyalty to the Church and with an insistence that their vision brings a missing dimension to the renewal in the post Vatican II Church," the theologian noted. He told delegates the move-' ment is asking those involved in Church renewal if they are building a house without a foundation. "Could it be that all the energy poured into the reform of Church organization, the clearing of, Bible texts, the brightening of liturgy, the making of a relevant theology is a business that unwittingly is forgetting ·its roots? Is the house forgetting its foundation, Jesus Christ?" Father McBride stressed, how.ever, that both religious experience and its concrete expression in liturgy, theological study and Church structure are essential. "We cannot choose between the Jesus Experience and its . visible forms," he said."We must live in the productive tension that adherence to both dimensions demands,"

Plan to Ban' Autos Around Cathedral MILAN (NC) - The quartermile long square dominated by Milan's multi-spired cathedral will be declared off limits to automobiles, if a 'plan put forward by the city's tranport committee is approved. Even streetcars would be diverted from the streets alongside the white marble Gothic cathedral, one of this industrial city's few archrtectural gems. Begun in 1385, it is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. Traffic-banned zones known as pedestr·ian islands are being experimented with in Italy's traffic-glutted tourist cities, such as Rome and Florence. (Venice, an island to begin with, has always been virtually car-free.) Rome, in an attempt to cope with its now legendary traffic, has created a few car-free havens and has abolished bus fare during the early morning rush hours.

New 'Irish' Intel'lectua-ls'

The very union with Christ that creates the Christian was itself the gift of the Spirit. "Christ is like a single body which has many. parts . . . we' have all been baptized into this one body by the one Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:13). Brought together with Christ, we ourselves are made true sons of God: "the Spirit makes you God's sons. God's Spirit joins himself to our Spirit to declare that we are God's children" (Rom. 8:15ff).

sto~s identifying with the blacks or the Cubans. and begins toidentify with the IRA-from' a safe distance, of course. Instead of waxing nostalgic about the old neighborhood in BrooklYI1 or the. <great drinking feats of the b.arfoom Irish, he tries to sound like a bona fide Irish revolutionary. The result is disastrous - as is obvious in Pete Hamil's article, "Notes on the New Irish," in a recent issue of "New York." Mr. Hamil doesn't 'know' anything abo~t Ireland. He doeSn't know anything about Iirsh revolutionaries. And he doesn't know anyt.hing about the so-called "old Irish." Priests Died Fighting L~t's take one example of Mr. Hamil's ignorance. He observes of Irish revolutionary history, "On that side were Wolfe Tone and Robert Emmet, Connolly and Pearse soldiers and revolutionaries, 'poets and socialists. On the other side were the priests; the Castle Irishmen, who had settled for the king~s shilling ..." Now Mr. Hamil has a passionate hatred for the Catholic Church, be it of the Irish or Irish. American variety. And that is his privilege. But only the most uninformed thinks that the priests were not on the side of . the people during the long revo'Iutionary .history of, Irelandwhatever the hierarchy might have said. Even today in Ulster, Professor Richard Rose in his masferly !!tudy, Goverl1ing without Cons'ensus leaves no doubt .. where ·the clergy stand. .And apparently Mr. Hamil , doesn't know anything about the most serious of all Irish revolutions before 1916, "the '98" (1798, .that is). While his heroes, Wolfe Tone and Robert Emmet, were speaking fine words, the simple Catholic peasants in Wexford were fighting and dying under 'their three generals, Murphy, Duffy, and Roache. Will' it come as a terrible surprise, Mr. Hamil, if'I tell you that they were all priests and that 'they all died fighting? .~

'=-

Vote for Liberals Mr. Hamil also tells us that the hated "old Irish" in America had become crabbed and parochial, voting for the Procaccinos and. the 'Goldwaters and who;~ ever .else had .pro!J1ised them "'order before :1l:iw. -In other words,

that is absurd. The Irish voted for John Kennedy; Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey.. Indeed, of all the Catholic ethnic groups,. t~ey are the most likely to yotefor liberal candidates. Further:ilore, the are not as concerned" about law and order as are many other white gentiie groups in Americansociety, and on every measure currently available to' us of political a'ttitudes, the Amedcan Irish are far more liberal th~tn anyone else except the Jews. But why confuse Mr. 'Hamil with facts? Mr. Hamil's real problem is that the Irish are not Jews. According to him,' the New Irish have read Irish. history (though if he is any example, not very much of it) and have "been formed by Jewish thought." Aha! So th,at's what it is: the New Irish are becoming Jewish; they can proudly take their place' among New York's Jewish intellectual elite (about which the rank and file Jews seems something less than 'enthused just now).' Who knows, they may even get invited to, a party at Lenny Bernstein's. 'Disgrace to Ireland' Jewish thought iB admirable. I have nothing but the highest respect for it. But I have no respect at all for those who think there is nothing worth while in their pwn tradition of thought and that they must become Jews to amount to anything. I was talking to II visitor from Ulster shortly,. after the articles in "New York" a.ppeared.He was a man' who had suffered long and hard in attempts to end the killing. He was· quite harsh on the Pete Hamil's, the Jack Deacy's and the Gail Sheehy's. . "They don't know anything about what is happening in Ulster.

And if they think you can be" cOqle Irish by vica.riously identifying with killers who murder a man in the presence of his wife and family, they lire a disgrace to both Ireland and the United States." I think so too.

All these things and many more were the gifts of "Qne and the same Spirit, who does all this; he gives a differt:nt gift to each man, as he wishes",'<1 Cor. ,12:11). Christ sent his Apostles to go out to all peoples everywhere and "baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit", (Matt. 28:19), so that all might have these gifts. " Following Christ's words, the Christian believers brought, all those they love, eventually even little children and infants, to be baptized "in water and the Spirit" (In. 3:5). They said: "God puts his' stamp of ownership on you by giving you the Holy Spirit he has promised. The Spirit is the guarantee that we shall receive what .God has promised to his people" (Eph. ... 1:13ff). So one generation baptized the next, even down to our own day and down to our own rebirth. Christian spirituality for us will mean the delightful discovery in our own lives of all the gifts we were promised when God stamped us with his Spirit at Baptism.

Dominicans ,Reopen Novitiate in Cuba HAVANA (NC)-The Dominican Fathers have reopened their novitiate here by admitting two Cuban candidates, one for the priesthood, the other to become a brother.

fore going to the State individual and team championships. The boys really get excited, but its a different type of excitement than that experienced in other sports. You've .got to see it to understand what I'm talking about. Enthusiasm personified best describes this Bristol County , Scholastic Golf League coach as he analyzses the loop schedule which commences this week. "At least four dubs will be in con· tention for Eastern Division honore and I expect three to be in the Western Division race."

every day,playing the. best course's around, little wonder the coaches and schoolboy golfers are eager. Golf, long a popular sport, is becoming more appealing to schoolboy athletes as is indicated by the .larger numbers trying out, for the teams each Spring. Not only are more candidates reporting' for practice, but more schools are now including golf as a major sport. Additional area schools now participate in golf on the varsity, junior varsity and freshmen levels.

Hang-up on Externals

NEW 'YORK (NC)-The Association for Voluntary Sterilization is encouraging women to institute 'lawsuits against hospitals that refuse their requests for sterilization operations. Courtland Hastings, field director for the association, said the association has encouraged the lawsuits in cooperation with two other groups, the American Civil Liberties Union and Zero Population Growth. He said that suits had already been launched against at least two ~ospitals, one in the New York City area and the other in Oregon. The first suit was followed by a liberalizing of sterilization procedures and the second, against an Oregon hospital operated under Roman Catholic auspices, is still in the courts,. he said. "I don't think hospitals have a foot to stand on at all," said Hastings. "As soon as a hospital refuses a sterilization request it lays itself wide open to a lawsuit." He said the majority·of hospitals need public money to maintain operations. Turning down a sterilization on religious grounds violates the First Amendment's prohibition of religious tests, he said. His association feels that vasectomies and tubal ligations, as the male and fem~le sterilization operations are called, should be performed free of charge at special clinics which would be established.
