Three Installations For Lay Ministers St. John Neumann, C.SS.R.

Neumann: Redemptorist Seminarian I want to have a few words with you, John Neumann: I never did pray to you before, but lately you've received such a lot of publicity, From seminarian to saintHow djd you do it? I suppose you didn't plan it or even want it that way. And to think, you were here once, a seminarian like me thinking it insane to rise so early in the morning (did you ever have trouble staYing awake during morning prayers?), trudging through the tedious schedule, working to keep Holy Mass holy. You made it through all of those trials, and with your help I can too. It helps me to know that you, a saint, started just where I am now: you spent hours before the Eucharist asking for perseverance, and you prayed to God that he would make you a priest, . just as I do. You know, I don't want to be made a saint when I die either. Like you, I desire only to be strong in faith, buoyant in hope. Just as you were vibrant in divine life, so may I be, that my life will be as yours, a sign of the Father's love to all I meet.

By Thomas Brinkmann, seminarian who hopes to join three uncles and a cousin as a Redemptorist priest following in the footsteps of St. John Neumann.

Extraordinary lay ministers of the Eucharist to serve in parishes of the diocese will be commissioned tonight in three simultaneous ceremonies, to be held at 7:30 p.m. Masses at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, St. Pius X.

themoori~ Supporting Social Justice The cities and some of the towns of our diocese are basically "mill towns." Until recent times, many people of Southeastern Massachusetts have been subject to industrial slavery typical of the "robber barons" of cotton. Only in recent times and with the support of concerned unions have mill workers been liberated from the chains of unconcerned profiteers. Through such efforts, many of our people have a better life. To be sure, there are still the "sweatshops" that continue to drain the vitality of their workers through the frenzy of "piecework" competition. However, in general, the hardworking men and women employed in local factories have made progress in improving their working conditions. Ever aware of the strife and hardship that has scarred so many of our brothers and sisters as a result of mill owners who ignored or divested them of their human rights, it is imperative that the Church ceaselessly pro-' claim its message of social justice. , In this light, full support should be given to the seven southern Catholic bisops who have offered to mediate the 14-year-old dispute between the J.P. Stevens Company, the nation's second largest路 textile manufacturer, and the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Union. In a June 6 statement, the bishops said they could no longer remain silent on the controversy: "We feel compelled to make public our growing anxiety concerning the rights of workers in the plants of the J. P. Stevens Company and our firm conviction that the differences that now separate labor and management should be brought to swift resolution," they said. , The action of the bishops comes after nine months of fact finding, during which prelates met personally with company executives and union officials and consulted third party sources on the dispute. As of the present J. P. Stevens has neither accepted nor rejected the bishops' offer of mediation. It might be noted that this particular company has been found guilty by the National Labor Relations Board in 15 cases of illegally discharging or intimidating workers as well as refusing to negotiate in good faith. The concern and interest that the bishops have shown in this dispute is to be commended. It once again demonstrates that the Catholic Church supports the rights of workers ~o organize, to form unions of their own choosing and to bargain collectively. Every Catholic should call to mind that this aspect of social justice springs from the gospel itself, which emphasizes human dignity and the right to an environment which protects and ~nhances both physical and spiritual development. \ In the light of this tradition it is essential that we realize that when the working man or woman is threatened by forces, economic or social, it is the responsibility of all to redirect those forces in a positive and effective manner.

The Church in South Africa It is certainly imperative that we keep well aware of

the news of the Church in Africa. Many commentators feel that the Church of the future is fast approaching the now on the continent. As evidence of this dramatic happening one has only to look to the changes in the Church of South Africa. In the 40 year period, 1920 - 1960, the Catholic Church in this troubled land has undergone a tremendous alteration; from three-quarter White and onequarter Black, it has become just the opposite; 70% Black and 18% White. In those 40 years the Catholic Church has grown more rapidly than any other denomination and it is projected that by t.he year 2000 it will be 95% Black, Coloured and Asian, simply by natural increase. On the basis of this projection alone, there can be little doubt where the Church's sympathy rests. As the rains of racial strife continue to pour down upon this tortured land, we must be "ever aware of the problems and even the persecutions that our brothers and sisters in the .faith now face in their daily living.

Abortion Bill Dead in Italy ROME (NC) - [n an astonishing vote, anti-abortion forces in the Italian Senate have overcome what appeared to be a clear pro-abortion majority by killing a liberalized abortion bill already passed in the lower house of parliament. The surprise vote-won by a two-vote margin-was made possible only through defections .in the ranks of five major parties which had come out in favor of abortion liberalization. Italy now must face the pros-

pect of a convulsive referendum. called by the vocal radical party to abrogate all Italian antiabortion laws. Since the final vote was revealed only in the late afternoon, the Vatican daily newspaper. -L'Osservatore Romano, issued its first (and usually only) addition at 3 p.m. When news of the vote reached the Vatican, however, the paper took the rare step of issuing a second edition which celebrated the victory across the front page.

Attention, Priests and Nu ns: Andrew Hates You All By

kids about the editorials their father wrote.

REV.

My sister happens to be a theologian. She took one class a quarter for nine years - while raising seven children- to get a do~torate from the University of Chicago. She has published a book and a number of articles.

ANDREW M. GREELEY

One of the worst things about the. Catholic church is that its clergy路 and religious, like Nazis and Communists, go after the families of people they don't like. I know of one Catholic editor who had to withdraw his children from parochial school because the priest and nuns at the parish hassled the

She taught until recently at a Chicago Catholic university on a "part time" basis.' Recently the all-male department of that university refused to give her a full-time appointment (even though her publication record is already more extensive than that of many departmental members.)

Okay. That's between her and them-though I wonder in passing how such famous liberals as John McKenzie, Bruce Vawter, John Dominic Crossan, and Edmund Fitzpatrick justify in this day and age the 'locker room culture of an all-male theology department. I only came into the fight when I found that members of the department made her life miserable by harassing her about me. 'If John McKenzie has something against me, he should take me on. When he tries to humiliate my sister instead of fighting me, he is a vile coward. One of the priests of the department, a major figure in the

university, in the presence of witnesses linked the refusal of an appointment to her relationship to me. Heavens, yes, fellows, punish her for something over which she has no control. that's the Christian, the manly, the priestly thing to do. I'm happy she got out of such a nest of sexist hypocrites, but I'm sorry that she has to pay such a price for an accident of birth. It's not the first job she's 'lost because her brother is a writer and a columnist. (It is the fact of my writing rather than any specific content that seems to infuriate the clergy.) One "sympathetic" priest ob-

served. "She's got to expect that sort of thing; she shouldn't have let them know that you were her brother." I am too hard on the clergy and religious, you say? Most wouldn't do such things; they wouldn't punish a' sibling and other relatives because they don't like you. It is surely the case that most priests and nuns have not hassled my family, but only because they haven't had the opportunity. Those that have the opportunity are for the most part eager to take advantage of it. lit's easy to hate priests and nuns.

G'od's Will Cain B路e Found in Sincere Effort ~to Love By

MARY CARSON

Have you had to make a big decision? Not a day to day "what shall I cook for dinner?" choice, but a major problem? You argue all the pros and cons, sometimes with yourself, sometimes with confidants. Some place along the line, deep inside, you ask, "What does God want me to do?" And most times when I've

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS

Susan Jacoby, a specialist on immigrtion problems, reported in the Washirigton Post 路recently that the Zero Population Growth (ZPG) foundation is launching a nationwide campaign for sharp curbs on both legal and illegal immigration to the United States. This group was originally formed to bring organizations favoring "no growth" economics together with people who felt

earnestly sought God's will, it was a question that wasn't covered by canon law. "Should I join a religious order, or should I marry?" "Should I change my job?" "Should I sell the house?" Quesions such as these challenge every one of us in our lifetimes, and the decisions would be simple if God just sent a little angel with a straight answer. I often think I'd. like Him to work that way. Life would he so much easier. I wouldn't have to make decisions. But if God did send answers, He'd reduce me to a puppet. If God just told me what to do I'd .miss the mind expansion that comes from having to solve problems. It seems that God is not send-

ing us simple answers because He respects us .and wants us to grow. We don't get direct messages from God: "This is a tree. I've created it for you, be moved by its tender young leaves sprouting in the warmth of spring. Take refuge from the heat of the summer sun, shelter yourself under its leaves. Admire its brilliant foliage in the crisp autumn; nourish yourself with its fruit. Be grateful for the warmth its wood will provide in. the winter. And do not curse it when a hurricane uproots it and it falls on your car. For I have willed all these things . . . " That's just not how God works. He's given us the Spirit within ourselves to observe, to

learn the beauty of His creation. I find it better for me if I II cannot imagine God as a feel confident of Christ's intyrant. I don't believe God de- struction . . . love one another. rails trains, crashes planes . . .

Prof. through withholding. Less than Paul R. Ehrlich, author of "The half of one percent had been on Population Bomb," was one of welfare. PG'S founders and is now its honorary president. Ehrlich also stated that illegProf. Ehrlich is quoted by Ms. als are holding at least one milJacoby as saying that illegal lion jobs that pay more than imigration is a "human tidal the minimum wage.

General Chapman, who major study commissioned by has been replaced in INS by the U.S. Department of Labor, Leonel Castillo, an up-and-comwhich found that 77 percent of ing Chicago leader from Housillegals apprehended by the Im- ton, Tex., has been tossing out migration and Naturalization figures like that for some time,

with little if any scientific research to back them up. And the press, by and large, has been buying the figures without bothering to check them out for accuracy. Some papers have handled the immigration story more responsibly than others. The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, for exampe, have pointed out that we know little about the extent or impact of the illegal alien problem, therefore, they have urged the Carter Administration ~nd Congress to make haste slowly in efforts to solve the problem. But let's go back to Professor Ehrlich. While he and his ZPG associates are calling for legal and illegal immigration curbs, their recent fund-raising appeal

mentions only illegal immigration. Their Washington lobbyist, Melanie Wirken, says that the organization favors a "drastic reduction in legal immigration as well." "Americans," Ms. Wirken says, "have traditionally thought that immigration was good and that speaking against immigration was just like speaking out against motherhood and apple pie. Over. and over at congressional hearings ZPG is the only group that raises a voice questioning the wisdom of letting in so many i~migrants." Thank God for that! Prof. Ehrlich and his associates are welcome to this dubious honor, which the majority of enlightened Americans would consider a badge of dishonor" or, worse, of shame.

Guidewords for Summer: Bright, Flowery,' 路Feminin.e By

MARILYN RODERICK

If you haven't already bought your summer wardrobe, then the time is certainly here because summer

is no sooner upon us than the stores are urging us to buy back-to-school. With more and more woman leading a more and more active life, our clothes have to be geared for this tempo and I have found nothing better for this than separates. There are some great tops on the market this year, some with slightly scooped necklines, others with a T shirt look and cut-in shoulders. A few in each color will add a great deal of

zest to your summer fashion, especially if you choose bright hues. If you love colors, then indulge yourself ,freely at summer sun time, for nothing brings out a tan more than vivid clothing. The aforementioned T shirts come in different lengths and if this fashion looks good on you, try wearing an ankle-'Iength evening style, perhaps in a silky material. (This is one fashion, though, that demands a very

flat tummy so diet and exercise quick, or avoid the look!) 'I'm sure there will be one very dressy affair on your summer calendar, so keep your eyes open for that feminine, soft and flattering dress or gown for such a special evening. When shopping for this type of dress, don't overlook the lounge and sleepwear department because many top designers are doing a line of this type of clothing, selling much cheaper than regu-

lar gowns yet often not looking at all as if they have to stay at home. Clothes are terribly expensive this season so shop carefully and wisely, try to pick up tht: extras on early summer sales and remember the guidewords for the season are bright, flowery and feminine. "When good befalls a man he calls it Providence, when evil, Fate." - Knut Hamsun

Question (orner , , , , •

•

By Father John Dietzen Q. My teenage children think I'm wrong In forCing them to go

to Mass on Swidays. They are 14 and 16, but they say they "don't get anything out of it." We battle every Sunday. Can you help me put the record straight? (Fla.) A. What record? It's all in your question, and it sounds awfully frustrating and unhappy for both you and your children. Looking at it only from your direction right now, its critically important for parents, and any others responsibel for growing children, to keep clearly in mind what they are aiming at, long range, in their religious training. I'm sure your primary goal is (or should be) to help your children toward a mature, living faith and trust in God, and a feeling of reverence for the place of the Eucharist in the community of Catholics, that will be with them in their adult lives. Clearly, the whole understanding of the Mass, and the community of faith that should ideally exist between parents and children has broken down seriously in your home. If, when your children are in their midand upper-teens, you are still forcing and battling over something as central to Catholic life and worship as the Mass, I think you'd have to agree there isnt much likelihood that they are building a faith they will love and be proud of later on. There is still time for you to reconsider seriously what you want to achieve in your children in the matter of religion. This may involve asking yourself some pretty brutal questions such as: what does your own faith mean to you, and why are you so concerned that your children share it? Why do you go to Mass yourself? If you're to be any support and guide to your children, make yourself be very specific in your answers. Perhaps a conversation with apriest or a teacher who deals regularly with teenage children would help you. Reader response to the above quesdon and answer, which appeared In sopte diocesan papers early last month, was Instan· taneous. Some reaedons reeeived by Father Dietzen fol· lows: From Texas: You are wrong in saying something has seriously broken down in a home when teenage children have to be battled and forced to go to Mass. Catholic education must share in the fact that of our eight children only one still practices her religion, you're as frustrated as we are. From mlnois: Your answer is typical of the parish administrator who can't be bothered

My only further response to these and others who wrote is that it is useless to assign blame for the religious floundering of young people today. The parent asked what she could do about the problem, not what churches or schools could do. I tried to answer her. Finally, I'd like to pass on what one reader claims would .have been the "correct answer" to the question. I disagree with some of it, especially the first sentence (which he himself contradicts at the end). But it makes many good points. Here it is:

PANAMA CITY(NC) - Deported Jesuit Father Jorge Sarsanedas has charged that the government of El Salvador has launched a large-scale persecution campaign against the Catholic Church. Shortly after his arrival in Panama - following a week in jail arid deportation from El Salvador-the 30-year-old Panamanian native. told NC News that the persecution began last August when Church leaders and Jesuits supported a land reform law favoring thousands of landless peasant families.

"Until large numbers of our priests learn to make their liturgies the meaningful and beautiful services they can and should be, there is nothing you can do. Your best efforts are nullified by the lifeless, sterile and cold liturgical services conducted by so many of our priests..

Interviewed the day before kidnaped Foreign Minister Mauricio Borgonovo was found murdered, Father Sarsanedas said he feared that rightwing extremists would begin killing Jesuits if Borgonovo died. After the murder was known Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador, who had sought to obtain Borgonovo's release, called a meeting of his vicars and parish priests to consider ultrarightist threats of retaliation against Church personnel if Borgonovo were kill'ed by his captors.

"CCD classes are devoted to catechism-like teaching by rote with no attempt to understand what students need and want. They are satisfied with reports to the bishop Which say that they do, in fact, have a Mass ~nd CCD schedule. After that, In the words of one priest in our diocese: If they don't come, the hell with them.

Do t Ime, your best to inculcate Christian values in your children, continue to love them encourage them, and pray. "Because of God's gift of free will, they cannot be forced to be practicing Catholics. Continue to give good example, but let them know that you yourself are aware of their problem, but are trying, though the Mass and sacraments, to stay close to God and His Church."

"So many priests make no effort to turn the child on. Although they are celebrants, they refuse to treat the Mass as a celebration. They resent and often refuse to offer the sign of peace.

In mid-April leftist guerrillas kidnaped Borgovono, demanding that the government release 37 political prisoners and reveal the whereabouts of some 800 others detained in the last two years. Despite a personal plea May 8 by Pope Paul VI for Borgovono's release, the foreign minister was found shot to death May 10. Rightists have charged that the Jesuits were behind the kidnaping. EI Salvador has been under a government - declared state of siege since February, when widespread charges of fraud in the February national elections culminated in violent clashes between police and demonstrators.

To Baptize Or Not?

We Are Moral Beings By William E. May We should we be moral? In many ways this is a strange question inasmuch as to be moral is an inescapable attribute of a human being. Still it is a question that troubles people, particularly in our post- Watergate world, when cynicism at times seems to take hold and the temptation to "do unto others before they do unto you" can arise. In a way, Mark Twain says the best answer to this question when he quipped: "Man is the only animal who blushes, or needs to." We do things that other animals would never dream of doing.

By Msgr. Joseph M. Champlin One of today's more difficult and painful decisions for a parish priest involves the baptism of children whose parents practice the Catholic faith only marginalIy. ~ What has intensified the difficulty for contemporary pastoral ministers is the emphasis in the manual ritual of Baptism on the faith required whenever we celebrate this sacrament. It discourages any magical view of the rite, any pra.ctice in which the infant receives the saving waters automatically. The ideal, of course, sees parents as model Catholics, constant in daily prayer, exemplary in virtue, regular at Sunday Mass, frequent recipients of the Eucharist and anxious for instruction on the meaning of Baptism. Working with such .people is a joy and comfort for the priest. But what of those whose the wedding of religious and civil Christian lives are not so specauthority brought about a restoration of the former order.

.Post Watergate: Why Be Moral? By Deacon Steve Landregan

Why be moral? Why should any person voluntarily conform to a behavior system that in the eyes of many limits individual freedom and compromises human dignity? Why should anyone exercise self-discipline and self-restraint, particularly in areas where the dignity and freedom of others cannot be trampled upon. Which came first? Fear or love. Both are powerful motivators. Greed and the need for community brought mankind a step closer to civilization. Tribal codes and primitive laws gradually touched every significant event in an individual's. life and often even determined circumstances and time of these events. Such codes were usually more than civil in nature. They carried the force of religious obligations and taboos in a pagan world where the line between men and gods was blurred. Non-conformity was handled with dispatch - death or expulsion. The separation of a religious moral code from civil authority probably first occured five centuries before Christ during the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. For us Christians such a separation was much longer coming. After a few centuries during which the infant Church was an island in an unfriendly world, the world became Christian and

Jesus' Moral Teaching

By Father John J. Castelot Many old Testament sections, if read uncritically and apart from their general context, could give the impression that personal morality is s' rigid, legalistic affair. They contain laws dealing with nearly every conceivable detail of human conduct. But as its complex legal passages are concerned, we must remember that the Old Testament contains not only moral but civil law. Not that there is no conn~ction between legality and personal morality, but the two concepts are distinct. A civil judge is not concerned with a defendant's moral guilt or innocence; he is 路concerned about his guilt or innocence before the law. For an insight into fundamental Old Testament view of personal morality, not as mechanical conformity to a suffocating legalism, but as loving response to a God who has first loved His people, the Book of Deuteronomy is most enlightening. The name of the book means "a copy of the law" and the book refers to itself as "the law" and "this Book of the Law" an extensive law code is spelIed out in ch. 12-26. However, as Father Raymond Brown has written: "Deuteronomy is not a dry jurisdicial book, for law in Deuteronomy is set in the pers-

pective of a larger message of salvation. According to the description in Dt. 30, 11-14, law is a sign of God's presence in the hearts of his people; its observance is the spiritual life. We may describe the book as a dynamic proclamation of God's spontaneous choice of Israel and His love for His people. Deuteronomy, then, saw personal morality is something more than perfunctory keeping of a set of rules and regulations. It probed beyond individual acts to the very heart of the matter, to basic attitudes and motivation. This book, exerted a strong influence on subsequent Old Testament thought and on the New Testament as well, which quotes it some 83 times. .However, there were other forces at work, other schools of thought, and they moved in the direction of a rather narrow legalism. In Jesus' day certain groups of Pharisees had multiplied regulations to such a point that the Law had become an intolerable burden. The Gospel of Matthew especially presents Jesus as reacting vehemently to the perversion. For Jesus, personal morality was basically a question of attitude. As he said in Mt. 3, 17: "Do not think that I have come Tum to Page Thirteen

We Are Moral Beings Continued from Page Twelve are the kind of beings that we are gifted with intelligence and fre~dom. Because of our freedom we can accept God's love or we can refuse it and becbme possessed by the power of sin. What is most poignant perhaps, about our existence is our ability to wound the ones we love and, in doing so, to wound ourselves. But through love, the love that God wills to give us, we can heal our wounds and become, like Jesus, truly faithful images of our loving Father. When a dog is kicked in the groin, he can either fight or flee. When we are kicked in the groin, literally or figuratively, these can be our reactions too. But because we are moral beings we are capable of a quite different and free response, the kind of response that God gave us when we betrayed Him. We

Moral Teaching Continued from Page Twelve to abolish the law and the prophets. I have come, not to abolish them, but to fulfill them." Jesus' "fulfilling" of the law consisted in His perfecting it, in cutting tl)rough the maze of prescriptions and getting back to the essentials. Above all, He asserted the primacy of love as the ruling principle of personal morality. St. Paul was only echoing the Master when he wrote: "The whole -law has found its fulfillment in this one saying: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself," (Gal. 5, 14). Indeed, Paul is famous as the champion of Christian freedom from the law as a system if observances leading to salvation. For him one thing was necssary: "Only faith, which expresses it· self through love" (Gal. 5,6; see 1 Cor. 13).

can reach -out to the other in a healing, redemptive act of love. So why be moral? Really we can't help but be moral, fur this is the nature of our existence. But we can be either morally good or bad; we can choose to utter words of love - or of indifference or apathy or hatred. In doing so, we make or break our lives as moral beings.

.Why Be Moral Continued from Page Twelve the moral law to make moral what had been immoral. The moral person finds .it much easier to be immoral in a society that not only condones immorality but goes to great length to provide opportunities for it. Conversely that same person finds it increasingly diffi· cult to be moral in a world that not only offers no support for moral actions but frequently ridicules them. Adding to the confusion' is the cry of many for a return to "morality," which to them means a return to the Puritanism that equates morality with sexual behavior alone and conveniently does not include the immorality' of social injustice, which acording to their reasoning is not immoral because it was not illegal under the old order. What is the key to the survival of Christian moral values in . the midst of a no longer friend'Iy world, whose neutrality is rapidly changing to hostility: .The answer is so simple that it often escapes us. We turn to Christ. Christian moral values don't owe their existence to the favor of any society. They are rooted in Jesus' call for repentance, faith and an imitation of His own unselfish and unconditional love. Why be moral· Because to live morally is to imitate Christ. Any other reason is unworthy of one created by the Father, redeemed by the Son and strengthened by the Holy Spirit.

DUBLIN (AIF) - Speaking to students at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, Dr. Sheila Cassidy, who was held and tortured by Chilean police for two months, declared: "I believe that the importance of the missionary Church lies not only in the taking of the Good News from the 'developed' nations to the countries of the Third World, but also in the message that is brought back by the messenger to the Church which sent him. "This is a hard message that all men are created equal in God's sight but that they are not receiving an equal share in the earth's riches, It is hard to recognize as Good News the message that we must eat less and live in smaller houses and work longer hours so that men and women who eat too little and have no houses may survive. "This sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ should open men's hearts to the needs of their brothers and be the basis for the building of the Kingdom of God 'On earth; but our hearts are hard, and it is easier to call the messengers liars or eccentrics or fools than to heed them."

In Music By The Dameans

SIR DUKE _Music is a world within itself With a language we all understand With an equal opportunity For all to sing, dance and clap their hands But just because a record has a groove Don't make it in the groove. But you can tell right away at letter A When the people start to move. They can feel it allover They can feel it all over people Music knows it is and always will be one of the things that life just won't quit But here are some of music's pioneers that time will not allow us to forget. For there's Basie, MiJler, Satchmo and the king of all Sir Duke. And with a voice like Ella's ringing out there's no way the band can lose. (Written and performed by Stevie Wonder (c) Jobete Music Co. Inc. and Black Music Inc. 1976) This song is probably misnamed. It's obvious from the flavor of the horns in the introduction and the litany of musicians recited in the second stanza that "Sit Duke" -is Duke Ellington. The swing music of the big bands, which Sir Duke helped to create in the 1940s and 1950s, is what Stevie Wonder seems to want to acknowledge and praise. But as it turns out, "Sir Duke" is just a sample of the real idol in this song, namely music itself. The song could well be entitled "Lady Music." The quality of music depends on its ability to uncover hidden feelings, yet, in order to find those emotions in us, the music must first be born from those same feelings in the composer. For that reason Stevie Wonder can praise "Sir Duke" as one who shared his wholeness in his music in order to give others the chance to find themselves. We could give the same credit to Stevie Wonder. His music obviously comes from a deep part of himself. Perhaps . hiS blindness even helps here, since he writes about what he feels nther than what he sees. Appeannces are often deceiving and may become obstacles to our seeing what is real. Perhaps those who are in closer touch with what they feel, are the ones who sense what is real. And in the case of "Sir Duke" and Stevie Wonder, they can allow us to discover the real throup their music so that we can "feel it an over."

Connolly High Wins Tennis Crown The Bishop Connolly High School tennis team is the new Eastern Mass. Class B tennis champion, and, as this column is being written Ted Pettine's Cougar netmen are slated for action in the state finals. Connolly clinched the title with a 4-1 victory over Sharon a week ago today at Silver Lake Regional High in Kingston. In earlier rounds the Cougars had eliminated MaIden Catholic, 4-1, Dover Sherborn, 5-0 and Duxbury, 3-2. Connolly and Sharon represent Eastern Mass. against the champion and runnerup from the Western part of the state. The Cougars were to have met Hudson, at West Springfield High School last Friday in the state semi-finals but rain forced post-

ponement of that match, which w,as rescheduled for last Monday. In the match against Sharon Dave Bedard defeated Jeff Charcoff, 7-6, 6-0, 6-1; Joe McGuill was the winner over Brian White in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, and, Larry Straton was an easy winner, 6-0, 6-3, over Stan Fitzhugh, in the singles. In the doubles, Dave Kalif and Mike McGuill posted an easy, 6-3, 6-2, victory. ConnolIy's only 'loss was the 6-4, 6-2, setback suffered by Bob Correllas and Mike Sheridan.. It has been 21 years since a Fall River school has won the sectional championship and gained the state finals. Durfee turned the trick in 1956 and went on to the Class A state crown.
