Two Fall Riverites to Head N.E. Youth Groups The Diocese of Fall, River today holds the unique distinction of having both the pres~ ident of the New England area of the Catholic Youth OrganIzation and the president of t"he Catholic Yourig Adult Organization. It is the first time in regional history that one diocese has supplied the presidents. of both organizations. Brian Corey of St. Joseph's par ish in Fall River is the new 'h~""k"W/' head of the CYO and Henr~' Gillett of the Immaculate Conception parish, also in Fall River, is the newly elected president of the CYAO group. Both were chosen at the regional sessions last week in Bridgeport, Conn.
The institute, entitled "Ecu.. menical Encounters," was the fourth in a series of seven de signed by the NCCW to traill Catholic women for positions of leadership in their communities. The "vacuum of leadership" could be due to a world crisis in. culture, to a political situation, or to an illusion of democracy that all must have an equal say in leadership, the bishop said. "Where we are all leaders, there is no leadership. In an ef. fort to make out everybody to be a leader, we have created a sed.. ous crisis," he declared. Recalling the words of Pope Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno -"There is no charity by those who are not concerned with jus tice"-the bishop said it is im portant that women rid them selves of the idea that they are exclusively the architects of charity, while justice is in the hands of men. "The virtue of charity," 'the bishop said, "can never be dis associated from the virtue of jus tice. You must be not only Lady Bountiful but also Lady Justice." Concrete Level Bishop Wright said that on the concrete level, calling' problema of world poverty "acute" is • . make only Ii colorleSs' statement. "But if it is stated iif'temw .t, 4
Corey has served as president of his own parish CYO and also the Fall River area and diocesan CYO.

Boland Strikes World Unity
PISA (NC)-Speaking to a world dazzled by the ex ploits of science, Pope Paul VI challenged it to accept on faith the doctrine of the Eucharist, surpassing the capabil Ities of the scientific mind. His platform was Italy's Na tional Eucharistic Congress, the phrasing of doctrine with whose theme-God with Us new scientific interpretations of -he transformed into an el substances such as Dread and

Blessed Sacrament.
His stage was this ancient city fIf Pisa, renowned for its schol

the celebrated Gallileo, to whom
the Pope paid special tribute. With deliberate gravity, Pope Paul bore witness to the doctrine of Christ's real presence in the Eucharist with "the complete assurance which our apostolic teaching office authorizes us to profess-in fact, obliges us." He d~d this, he said, "to strengthen the practice of this authentic devotion, nourished by the Gospel and theological doc trine * * * and to dissipate a few tmcertainties which have arisen ill recent times from the attempt ... give an elusive interpretation

Parents' Example Strong Influence on Teenagers By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. 8(\me years ago, when I was working almost exclusivf:ly with teenagers, I used often to think, instinctively and therefore unthinkingly, that many of the kids would have been a lot better off as orphans. ThiR somewhat biased idea came about through a whole many churches, cannot e,'en series of factors: the fact in have the figure of Christ on it. that, invariably, the parents There is a type of materialism whose children were most in which makes a sham of the rela need of discipline were the very ones to gripe when you attempt ed to apply a minimum c£ same; the complete disin terest of some parents in their children, as ev ~rlence by the liact that, after the report cards c;:::ne out and we te a c hers were put up as pzrental targets for one gruesome evening, the only parents we customarily saw were those whose youngsters were doing just dandy; the tend ency of parents to compare their less capable (or their less achiev ing but more capable) children with the model children in the !amily, much to the slower one's mseouragement and frustration. Sees Other Side The "reasons" could go on in definitely. But there's no use. Leoking back on the situation, it is not surprising to me that such was my attitude. There is a tendency to identify with those one works with, and to do battle with them against all "enemies," :real or imagined. And so you tend to see only one side of a question. But then, with a new assign ment, I found myself for the first time dealing as much with par ents as with their children. And so I began to see the other side of whatever problems there were. It was, in fact, at this time that I got the idea for and grad ually did the latest book, What To Do Until The Psychiatrist Comes: A Handbook For The Parents of Teen-agers. It's not that the reasons given above for not universally admir ing all parents are invalid, not at all, but they are simply not as widely applicable as I had (IDee thought.

Unfortunately, there are those parents who de pend so heavily on the miracle that they disregard common sense. And so, while sincerely admiring the dedicated, miracle worker type of parent, one can still be appalled at the incredible harm some others can inflict on their children. But I've no intention of launching into any tirade on parents, because most parents are certainly trying to do their best with their kids, and, though they seldom realize it, generally doing a good job. Scores Materialism But there is a disease called materialism which is all too common among many people in our day - ~specially perhaps among Americans, with our "philosophy" of success, and wealth, and comfort and pleas ure as the Qnlygoals worthwhile. This attitude comes into every phase of American life, even into religion, where the Crucifix,

:::t is, in fact, this sort of am t'::ide which is at the root of m 0 s t moral-sexual problems tcday - the early marriages which so often occur through the necessity of fighting adult prob lems with immature weapons. Someting io 'Imitate Take the parent who encour ages or forces his son or daugh ter to go to a certain school, not because it will give him or her a good intellectual and spiritual background, but because the "prestige" or the "social contacts there are better." Then there is the father who wants his son to go into one of the more lucrative and dignified professions, not because Junior has the ability or because this jis what Junior wants, but be cause it is a "prestige" position. Or consider the mother or father or both who will not hear of a religious vocation for a son or daughter because "they don't want to lose them," and besides tbere isn't much social prestige in the religious life. It's possible, of course, for 8 boy or girl to rise above the ma t~rialistic "ideals" of the parents, but it's tough to do so, and it's a lot easier to have something to imitate rather than something tc surpass in those one idolizes. Rise to Challenge So, parents, you can show them a lot more effectively than just telling them. And you teens will just have to go according to circumstances-either following the good example of your par ents, or rising above their other example. You teenagers are great ones at rising to a challenge, but sometimes you miss seeing that challenge. You can, in fact, if you look closely enough, find a challenge even in a stack of dirty dishes, or in a hopeless heap of homework. Certainly, you can find it in daily Mass and Communion, and ill all the other things related to Iiving your Catholic faith instead of just trying to stave off spir itaal 1eath by coming alive periodically. .

Hospital Image Must Improve ST. LOUIS (NC) - The new president of the Catholic Hospi tal Association said Catholic hospitals constantly must strive to improve their image with the community and the individual. '"Too often hospitals have suffered because they have not been fully aware that their pub lic image is somewhat less than it should be," Father Paul R Moore of New Orleans told the annual convention of the hospi tal association. If Catholic hospitals will keep the public "correctly appraised" of their operations, the under standing and support given in return by the public will be "a strong cornerstone when you need backing," Father Moore told the 7,000 delegates. "You cannot give adequate service unless those you serve know you, know your needs, know your sincerity and dedica tion to achieve your ends for their greater benefit," Father Moore said. He calculated that "a good public relations setup" is a ';must" for a Catholic hospital. Father Moore advocated estab lishment of social service de partments in Catholic hospitals., He said: "We must not only physically cure ailments through medication, but also assist in solving problems that arise on a family basis, or in relationship to others as a result of disease."
Personal Holiness Ecumenism Need PONTIAC (NC)-A plea for "personal holiness" which is "the soul of the ecumenical move ment" was made by Father Er win A. Jurashek of San Antonio, Tex., at the annual convention here of the Convert Makers of America. The spiritual director of CMOA, which has trained more than 5,000 persons in convert work techniques during the last 21 years, declared: "It is easy to change things, but it is difficult to change people. The Catholic Church is undergoing exterior changes that attract much atten tion. So much stress may be placed on the exterior changes that we might forget the real purpose of the Second Vatican Council w hie h is interior change." Father Jurashek scored the "liturgical materialist" and :Jrged Catholics to "wear the white garment of baptism saven days a week - not just for an hour on Sunday and then hung in a closet to dry-rot." He de clared "interior renewal is the challenge" and it is up to Cath olics to improve themselves, their families and their neigh borhoods.

The statement by the bishops· committee says in part:' "For several years there has been definite evidence of an at tempt, till now unsuccessful, GIl the. part of some producers to Introduce nudity into major American films. "In itself nudity is not ~mmoral and has long been recognized as • legitimate subject in painting and sculpture.

Most of Us Pay to Get Tartar off Teeth,
Bill Muldoon Is Paid for Piling· It On By Patricia Francis
Most people are glad to pay a dentist to scrape tartar off their teeth, but William B. Muldoon Jr. has learned he can make money piling it on. That's how confusing life is these days. Bill Muldoon. 15, son of Dr. and Mrs. Muldoon of 87 Ca~pbell. St~eet, ~ew Bedford, is a sophomore at Stang High School. He is also a money-makmg SCIentIst. BIll a 5 feet 7 inch, 160-pound .
member of the Stang foot ball team - entered the Greater New Bedford Sci ence Fair in the early Spring. His project: "How Is Your Saliva?" As he explains it, his experi ment revolved around finding out how teeth react to varying kinds of saliva. He added sugar and other ingredients to saliva to test effects. Then he dipped teeth - not his own-into the various con coctions. Sugar, he discovered, is the biggest. offender of all in building up layers of tartar on tooth enamel. His exhibit won a $50 savings bond froIl). the Southeastern Dis trict of the Massachusetts Dental Society. ::Bill considered it adequate Jrecumpense for the time and ef for. he had put into his experi mer:t. But more good news was to come. One of his teachers at Stang heard about the Ford Future Scientists of America ·contest. "She handed me a form," Bin says, "and I filled it out and sent it in. That was easy." Dental Award Last week, a letter arrived. telling Bill he had won a special award from the American Den tal Association in the contest. Enclosed was a check for $100. The young Stang student now is wearing a gleam in his eyes that seems to indicate he'd like to hear about any other contests in which his project might pick up "some loose change." A student in the scientific course at the North Dartmouth school, Bill hopes to attend Providence College, then go on to Georgetown Medical School. His father is a P.C. graduate and a graduate of Georgetown Dental School. His mother, the former Kathleen Leonard of Bethesda, Md., also is a George town alumna. His entry in this year's Science Fair was not Bill's first scientific endeavor. When he was an 8th grader at Holy Family, he work ed up an exhibit titled: "Better Than Aladdin's Lamp." Using a motor and fuse and other gadgets, Bill demonstrated
Seek Latin America Problem Solutions SAN JUAN (NC)-The Pop ulation Seminar sponsored by the Alliance for Progress has concluded that birth control does not offer a cure-all for the pop ulation problems of Latin Amer ica.

The sem inar called for basic reforms in the distribution of national in come to include more just re muneration for the workers. The necessity of radical tax re forms and the role of govern ment in distributing employment opportunities in rural areas to avoid the overcrowding in urban areas were other phases dis cussed. Government programs of edu cation and public health could imorove the basic wealth of countries by increasing the sk:l!s and health of workers. the seminar concluded.

Prelate Favors Right-to-Work Law R.eQeal WASHINGTON (NC) The director of the National Catholic Welfare Confer ence's Social Action Depart ment has endorsed the adminis tration's proposal to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act's "right to work" section. Msgr. George G. Higgins, tes tifying before the House Educa tion and Labor Committee, said so-called right to work laws are politically, socially, economically and ethically unsound. He said in his testimony, "I am speaking in the name of (the Soci~iI Action) department and not in the name of the adminis trative Board of the National Catholic Welfare Conference or in the name of the body of American bishops." Msgr. Higgins said such right to. work laws "do not provicl.e jobs for workers: they merely prevent workers from building strong and stable unions." Lure for Industry Right to work laws, barring labor-management agreements making union membership a condition of employment, are authorized by Section 14-b of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. Msgr. Higgins said the pressure for them "does not arise from workers seeking their 'rights.''' "Proponents of these measures are uniformly employers' organi zation and related groups," he said. "Often such laws are part of a program by underdeveloped states seeking to attract industry by the lure of a docile and low paid labor force." He rejected the augument 01' states' rights raised in support of these laws, saying there are "strong reasons why s tat e s should not regulate labor mat ters where interstate commerce is involved."

Doing Uur Hit
This is the Year
EllIIISiol
This is the time when the voice of the commellce ment speaker is heard in the land. And what a position he is in. The commencement speaker probably seizes upon the invitation with a great deal of delight. He is being pre sented a platform and an audience of stature again,st whom he can hurl his views with little or no prospect of being openly refuted or rebuffed. But as the day ap proaches his delight must turn to panic. If he is a government official, of course, he can always use the opportunity to make a little self-serving hay, advertising his department and its aims or, if he be uninhibited by the necessity of being humble, his own accomplishments ~n his office. But any other person has only two courses open to him. He can give a review of the philosophy of history and spring. several well-considered conclusions upon the graduates before him as their guides for successful living, or else he can denounce. The one who would attempt the "philosophy of life" approach really must have the breadth of knowledge of an Arnold Toynbee or a Christopher Dawson, or else the brashness to measure himself against such giants. Per haps the safer approach is to denounce something. If it is strong enough and bold enough it might even capture headlines. In this particular regard the commencement speaker before the Catholic College graduates is in the best of positions this year. Yes, it is definitely a Catholic denun ciation year. He can lay into his fellow Catholics, clerical and lay, left, right and center, as the Irish sports writer would say. He can denounce the clerics for keeping un derfoot the lay Catholic and the laymen for refusing to take the initiative in assuming their rightful position in the Church. And he can accuse both of refusing to become involved in the world that they must confront and change. His words will arouse and, if he is lucky, will even infuriate and be answered, and fortunate indeed will be the speaker who is denounced in turn by another speaker or-the epitome of success-by a high-ranking cleric. Yes, this is the year to speak at a Catholic commence ment. So if the invitations are not already all spoken for. ".
A Religious Meeting Perhaps the most significant religious meeting ever take place in the country will be carried on the first week of July in Baltimore when Catholic and Luthet"an scholars will discuss together the basic beliefs of their two churches. Already the various religious bodies in the nation, im bued with the ecumenical spirit, have agreed that there must be cooperation in civic and social matters. There have been many successful examples of accomplishments along these lines. But this forthcoming -meeting is on matters dogma tic. Both Catholic and Lutheran scholars have prepared "position papers" giving the beliefs of the two churches on the Nicene Creed. The scholars will seek to go beyond the words and discover just exactly what each believes. Both Catholics and Lutherans use the Nicene Creed in their liturgies. It is to be hoped tHat such a discussion, the first of a series, will reveal to both churches the area of differ ence and agreement in detail. And encouragement is in dicated by the statement made several weeks ago by an eminent Lutheran theologian, Dr. Arthur C. Piepkorn of St. Louis' Concordia Seminary, thflt it would be "quite astonishing if a large part of the difference between Lu therans and Roman Catholics did not· arise from seman tic differences."

Criticizes Policy Statement Of Trade Union Federation By Msgr. George G. Higgins (Director, Social Action Dept., N.C.W.C.) The United States has been severly criticized both at hom~ and ab.road for having acted unilaterally in the Santo Do~mgo crIses.

Spain is a·wonderful c9untry. But it is so different from -life in the Carribean· that the whole family became un b ear a b I Y homesick. Another difficult de cision was made. The family must try to get to Puerto Rico where they would have U. S. protection with Caribbean living. It is nearly impossible to enter Puerto Rico from Spain. So the family came to Santo Domingo. They settled here while arrang ing the necessary permissions to enter Puerto Rico. They began again to build a new life. School, friends, home, work-all of life had to be rebuilt. Puerto Rico became synony mous with paradise for them. Once they could reach this Island their lives would not again be affected by revolutions. They worked, waited and prayed while the papers were processed and money was saved. But then it happened. Santo Domingo was in reb e II ion. They were living in the poorer section, the center of the city, the neighborhood· that fell to the rebels. A second time the family fled from fear of Commu nism. Now they are billeted in a school with 125 other refugees They have no money, no privacy, no family life, as they share their lives with former strangers. Again they have lost everything. Again they must begin anew: The parents have aged prema tlJrely but the twins retain their zest for a challenge and their op timism.

On Keeping Sabbath Day Holy
VANCOUVER (NC) -- Ap~ bishop Martin :M. Johnson m.. pledged the prayers of the peo ple of the Vancouver Catholie archdiocese for the Holy Spirit to guide the Anglican Church and the United Church of Can ada in their moves toward union. "All efforts to promote the unity for which Christ prayed are praiseworthy and commend able," the archbishop said. "They merit the prayers of eva7, Christian." He added, "I ask our peopW to join with me in praying that those charged with the respolUli bility of studying these propos als will have the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit." Archbishop Sergio PignedoD, Apostolic Delegate to, Canadb, said he was happy at the union eHorts. "If they can do anything about it, the future unity of the churches in general will ~ easier," be said.
By Mary Tinley Daly Recent column about the Third Commandment, "Re member to Keep Holy the Sabbath Day," has evoked quite a response, pro and con, as of A.D. 1965. From William D. Armbrust, Virginia Beach, Va. comes a thought-provoking letter: "This is not meant as Each strolte of the paint brush a criticism of your article, could be offered as a small but only as a means of ex prayer for the underprivileged pressing'my views of "keep.. of the world or as a penance for ing the Sabbath holy.'

The military base where I am stationed does not have a permanent chapel, so the base movie theatre doubles "as the chapel on Sundays.

"Take, for instance, the family that relaxes at a concert: the musicians in the orchestra and the doorman at the entrance are performing their normal work week servile tasks and yet the audience is taking the opportu nity of the Sabbath to relax and enjoy the concert. "And who knows, maybe some of the orchestra members, or the doorman, will decide to relax at a show after the concert. More people are working there at the theatre to provide entertainment for others - thus a seemingly endless chFlin of relaxation and

Pray for World Peace, Austrian Bishops Urge VIENNA (NC)-The Austrian bishops in a joint pastoral letter have called on Catholics to pray for world peace. The bishops asked for prayers that at least part of armaments expenditures be used for effec tive development aid. The bishops recalled the Christmas message of Pope Paul VI which pointed to the dangers to peace. They listed the causes which the Pope had mentioned as especially dangerous to peace: nationalism, racism, materialism, and class spirit, which thinks only of its own social group to the exclusion of others.

But Atty. Gen. Louis J. Lef': Kowitz later told a reporter he nad warned the governor there is a "serious question concerning the 'constitutionality" of the bill.' Scheduled to go into effect· ~n September, 1966 the law has t'le' endorsement of Catholic school officials, Citizens for Ed 'Ucational Freedom, the state AFL-CIO L u the ran schools, some public school boards and Eight Orthodox Jewish groups. The measure sailed through tile state legislature. The Assem biy approved it 117 to 29 and the Senate okayed it 50 to 7. ' Joins Five Others New York thus joins five other states and the federal govern ment in support of textbook needs of public and private t;chool pupils. The states are:' Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mex ico, Rhode Island and West Virginia. The U.S. government ""ill supply textbook assistance, under the new federal aid, t<l elementary and secondary edu.,., eation law. The New York law affects non Jlublic school students in grades '1 to 12. They can ask the local public school district to lend them any textbook from the list ef volumes approved for public echools. The law also raises the state's share of school textbooks' cost from about 40 per cent for most school districts to a $10 maxi mum per ~hild. The latter figure is said by the bill's supporters to equal neafly the full cost per ehild. Officials of Catholic school systems hail strong praise' for RockC£ellers's action in signing the \;liB. New York state Catho l~c schools, with nearly 800,000 pupils, enroll more students than the public school system in anyone of 34 states and the District of Columbia.

Father Edward. H. Flannery, editor of the Providence (R. I.)

Father Flannery said all reJi-' ~ions have suffered under the Soviets, but that Jews have suf fered more than others. He said they have not been allowed to form central organizations, to use their language for liturgical .services, or to publish books.

Warrior ~ Herdsmen Colorful Chronicle of Dodoth Life

'
By Moet Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. A university professor, commenting on modem literature, has a chapter in his book concerning the prevailing attitude toward the clergy. He finds that there is no longei' the respect in criticism that "ne found in Dante and in Chaucer. In such writers of our times as Sinclair Lewis, De Vries and others, a kind of bitterness and cynicism .exists. But, in one sense, this carping attitude can nave some value for the Church. Previotu:ly, a priest was respected bec~use of his status; today he is respected because of his worth and boliness and sanctity. What is regrettable is that those who write seldom come in contact with the saintly.

Gfseveral months during 1961 itt the Dodoth area. Mrs. Thomas is experienced in·· anthropo logical investi gation, and is also an interest ing writer. She and. her family .ettl.ed in a .section of the Dodoth country known as Mor ukore. This had a population of 92 people and . 500 livestock.. The Tho.mases, pitched camp. ~ot. OIl;. friendlr. terms with the inhabitants. were welcomed into their homes and allow'ed to listen in· at their councils and observe~their sacri fices. . Thus, these Americans came to ha.ve an intimate, if not exhaus" tive. knowledge of tile tribesmen. ~ The Podoth had, atthat.·time.:. pretty. generally. rElsisted .west:-: ernizing influences. They kept ~ traditional ways8Jid·. yiilues. ,. their religion is.monoth~stic,but, their god is remote and vague. 'Scattered through their cciun- ' try are sacred groves, and'cer tain trees are regarded as~ es~ elally sacred. It is near them that lI8.crifices of cattle take place. the victims' blood drunk, and the' entrails read for augury. Cattle Sole Weil1th The Dodoth are tall and mus eular people, whose chief, indeed ~le; wealth is cattle. -They are "'proud of themselves beeause of their cattle [and] hold people without cattle in contempt." A hymn sung on special· occasions Is "The Bellowing of Calves," and another chant is "A Man Is • :Man in Cattle." A millionaire among·· the Do doth is a man who owns a thou lI8.nd head of cattle: And cattle are the means of exchange: for example, in the purchase of brides. A man may have several wives, provided hp. has enough eattle with which to buy them. The society is patriarchal, and " the people live by families, not hi villages. Which is to say that the head of a family selects a piece of ground, fences it in, and within that enclosure sets up a house for each of his wives. Constan~ Raiding Each wife has her own circu lar field in which she raises mil let, sorghum, tomatoes, beans, e4!c. She sows, cutivates, reaps, lays up stores for the dry s~ason. Her daughters help her· in this work. Her sons are herdsmen lor their father's cattle,· and, when' old enough, warriors in defense of their father's boldings ~d in raids against tribes in ad jacent areas. ;The raiding is almost c.onstant. During the Thomases' relatively I brief stay, it occurred again and again. It is attended by killing and pillage. The Dodoth have (or h$d) only spears as weapollS, whereas their enemies the Turk anas had some rifles. This made for an unequal contest, but the Dodoth were fierce and unde terred by their disadvantage. The Dodoth, Mrs. Thomas found, were a people who pro duced nothing creative.

"We who first gave the worM, peace as a practical ideal have blessed war, made violence a eriterlon of sincerity, a test of adherence.

Buell told some 500 delegates he finds it embarassing to read history from the Crusades' through the brutality of the last war. He added: "And still we ' are not actively pursuing the ideal of peace-we are scared ~ the bomb."
Peace is more than the ati- . sence of conflict, armed or other wise, he said. It is the full accep tance of the other person, accord between Christian factions, with strangers, with other races, :De added. ~

The seven-judge court, high est in the state, struck down the ·section of the state Education Law requiring that movies be seen and licensed by the state Board of Regents before public showing. The ruling came in a case in volving a Danish movie. The film originally was refused a license by the regents unless two scenes were deleted. The film's distributors carried this ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which last March, re versed the lower court decision upholding the ban and remanded the case for further action. The U.S. high court at that time cited a decision it had handed down in a Maryland case in which it held that prior cen sorship of movies is not in itself unconstitutional but must pro vide procedural safeguards.

Suggests Realistic View Of Teenagers' Parties By John J. Kane, Ph.D. "Row should children graduating from the tenth grad~ eelt>tH'ate their comm<:lncement? If it IS formal and the boys mUf:r provide a corsage flu' the girls and girls must have formal gowns, many children will not be able to attend. Aft2r the dance there is to ~ a buffet. supper at one of the children being let out. So they may overspend, and thus raise grarlultte's homes. Are we the sights of their teenagers ever. not pushing our children too higher. If they firmly refuse, fast with all this? They wi:1 Oe jaded by 18." Your letter has a special interest, Dorothy, since yOll are writing from a relative ly sma!: tcwn. What r.arent<; in some metropol itan communi ties now take for granted, you are ques tioning. All of which indicates that this matter is associated with the locality :n. which one lives, the soci'll al':d. economic levels of the iamilieil and tc~nage pressures. Most contemporary parents off teen:1gers recall that graduatia:r: from eighth grade, tent!: gracie was not so common ther., was marked by a few graduatior: parties of a most informa: na ture'. usually at ;;:. girl's horr:.e. Most youngsters would not h3V~ known either what a corsage was or even how to spell it. Marks Turning Point Tim0s have indeed changed. Almo:>t an:r balmy night ir. iate Mayor early June, you cal; see the <;chool children, average age about 18, attired formally, girls with corsages, walking to a res taurant about 2 A.M. in ChicaJ::l's loop. In some places this rarely ends the evening, at one high school in Ptjiladelphia, .it was custom ary to drive to Atlantic City, 50 miles away aftcr a snack, to watch the sun rise. Chaperones werc NOT included or would they have been welcome. There's no reason why g:'adu ation from high school should not be marked by a social event, a dance at the school or a party at a home. It ia a "rite of pas sage", i.e. it marks a turning point in the lives of children. They have passed one more milestone hopefully on the roao. to adulthood. In view of some high school careers, this has been no mean achievemel~t. Costly Affairs But there are certainly sorr:.e hard questions about the nature the social function should take. The median family income in the United States today is about $6.000. It is somewhat lower in Canada. Most parents want their chil
dren to enjoy life and to cele
brate their graduation. But just how much should this cost? If a boy rents a tuxedo, purchases a corsage, a ticket for the dance, and the price of a late snack, he is paying about 17 to 20 dollars. Of course, some boys have worked and saved for this. Others haven't. For the girl there is a formal (hess, and formal dresses, at least in the minds of most teen agers, are to be worn but once. Depending on where you live and what you want to pay, this can well top the boy's total ex penditures. But with a formal must go shoes, a bag and almost inevitably a professionar hair do. Perhaps it isn't fair to say the girl's total cost will be about double that of the boy. Raise Sights Some families can ill afford this expense. But if they are typical contemporary pare'lts, thcy writhe in anguish Qvec thair
teenage revolt within the hom.e usually ensues. It takes strong parental attitudes to keep this i:l check, and many parents lack them. The answer to the forma: party is that it is a bit young fnr those finishing tenth grade. If the social and economic circum stances of the famllies are such that they can afford the expense, they should still be concernea about whether this should not he delayed at least until high schoo: commencement. So far as a buffet supper in the home of one of the graduates goes, I think it is a good idea. The expense need not be great, chaperones should be present and it can be cut off at a reasor. able hour. One provision, howe v e :: , would be helpful. If the suppe? is over at one, all should be home within a short time, possi bly one half hour. There stilI remains the matter of transpor tation and children of this age should not be on the streets at this hour. Hold Within Bounds Two steps could be taken to ensure that these celebrations are held within bounds. I spoke of teenage pressures. Every par ent of a teenager is fully aware of what these are. The teenagers are united; parents usually are not. I would suggest that high school administrators and par ents should get together on the matter. Why not a little pressure from the combined group of parents, teachers and school ad ministrators to help teenagers take a realistic view of these celebrations? In many cases it is entirely feasible to hold a dance in the school auditorium and to pro vide some type of refreshments there. There would only cost a nominal sum. All children who cared to attend could do so. Thus some of the snobbishness that does exist among children could be overcome. Too often some youngsters are left out because of expense or other reasons. If it is a class commencement, all class mem bers should be able to partici pate. Teenage Codes Some communities have ex perimented with teenage codes drawn up by the youngsters with the help of their elders. It is a democratic process and if de termined by the teenagers, there is greater likelihood of its being enforced by them. I fear the real problem in an of these matters is not really the teenagers themselves, although they do contribute to it. In most groups you will find one or two mothers who simply want to go all out. They mayor may not be in a position to afford it, but they still insist. This is also true of the too early dating and going steady. Some {>arents, especially some mothers have nothing more or less than a real anxiety neurosis about their daughters' popular ity. It is they who push the girls into premature association with boys. In fact, it sometimes be comes a contest to see whose daughter is most popular.

Priest Praises Illinois Masons EAST ST. LOUIS (NC) - A nationally prominent Catholic priest addressed a statewide Masonic meeting here and called it "a wonderful experience," Father John A. O'Brien, re search professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, appeared before the Illinois Council of Deliberation, consist ing of present and past officers and 33rd degree Masons of the state. The priest, who has been ac tive in the ecumenical move ment, said he was glad to talk to the Masons "not abolit the things which have so long di vided us, but about those which now unite us. The day Gf un pleasant controversy has passed. A new era of mutual esteem, friendship and brotherhood has dawned." "It is high time" for Catholics "to pay tribute to thE' great con tributions which Masons have made to our nation in so many fields," Father O'Brien said. "They have given us some of our greatest presidents, statesmen, generals, educators, churchmen and patriots." "The time has come," Father O'Brien continued, "for us to distinguish between Masonry in some of the countries of the Old World, such as the anti-religiGus Grand Orient of France, an.d Masonry in America and Great Britain. The latter repudiates the former."
Prelate Announces Integration Plans BATON ROUGE (NC)-Bishap Robert E. Tracy has announced that all Catholic schools in the Baton Rouge diocese will be in tegrated by tQe Fall of 19&7. In a letter read in all churches Sunday, the Louisiana prelate set out a timetable that calls for integration of the first and sec ond grades of elementary schools and the four grades of high schools by this Fall. Catholic schools in the diocese began desegregating two yeari ago. In most cases, the process was carried out jointly with public schools. Bishop Tracy said he hoped all schools in the dio cese "will now move to comp1¥ :with the Civil Rights Aet."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June 17, 1965

ened by :>current trends in the cirection of subjective emphases and values. Speaking at the annual Red l\!l:ass at St. Paul's cathedral, the bishop of Pittsburgh conceded that objectivity can be carried t€: extremes, even of cruelty. "But in an age of subjectivism and at a time when moral teach ing is in danger of going into orbit because of subjectivism, it is well to recall why the law must be objective and how its cbjectivity serves as a guide, even though not the only one, to a sane and valid moral code as well," he contended. Bishop Wright said that '"the idea of a moral law objectively embodied in the nature of things is distasteful these days." "But," he continued, "we must keep in our head and heart-the heart since it is frequently the origin of the error of subjectiv ism-that there is such a thing as sin, selfishness, self indul gence, greed, cruelty, lust and abuse, and that there are moral rules that forbid these. "These principles are no mere JiWral conventions, but are root ed in the nature of things, and we neglect them to our peril," he added.
Cotholic, Epis.copal Commissions Meet RUTLAND (NC) - Members of the ecumenical commissions of th~ Catholic Diocese of Burl ington and the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont met here for the first time for "exploratory" taIks investigating possible fu ture cooperation. Msgr. Edwin T. Buckley, chair man of the Catholic commission, said after the meeting that "pveryone present ... sensed the inspiration of the work of unity and the promising future of such undertakings."
Each year, hundreds of tiny t0ts in the Fall River Diocese take the giant step from babyhood to childhood as "students" in diocesan kindergartens. They walk in the doors in September as babies. They walk out again in June taller and more knowledgeable. To mark the transformation, varieus schools have end-of-the-year programs to demonstrate how much the youngsters Michaelyn, R.S.M., 1st Grade they have "successfully com have learned during their teacher at St. Mary's, even have pleted kindergarten" and now first year in school. One of their own "band" - a rhythm ean move into "real" school life the special programs that band that gets more "swinging" m'. 1st Graders. has been delighting parishioners of St. James Church in New Bedford for years--and- espe cially delighting Msgr. Hugh A. Gallagher, pastor-is the "grad uation" ceremony for kinder gartners of St. Mary's School, the parish school. Dressed in crepe paper "cos tumes" that range from gay colored sombreros to child-sized hands and noses (to demonstrate the senses), the youngsters put on a "show" that meets with wild enthusiasm for parents and other relatives. It's a happy evening for every one concerned. The tiny "grad uates" go through their showing off paces with the aplomb of vet erans. Admittedly, there are oc casional jagged spots where the youngsters didn't quite co-ordi nate, but that just adds to the enchanting flavor of the occa sion. . They sing songs and recite "speeches." They prove they know their numbers and their alphabets. They dance - with small and somewhat unwilling boys sometimes propelled madly around stage by smaller but more determined girl partners. Chuckles and roars of laughter frequently erupt in the p<lrtisan audience. Father Gallagher sits beaming, tapping time to the music, enjoying the whole per formance with unmitigated glee. The youngsters, coached by Mrs. Francis J. Manning, their teacher, with help from Sister

ALBANY (NC) -The New York Legislature has authorized a reform study of the state's di vorce law which makes adultery the only ground for divorce.
When the "graduates" finish receiving diplomas, Monsignor Galagher speaks briefly to them, urging them to continue their enthusiastic approach to learn ing. Cameras flash as relatives re rord the moment for posterity. Then the little ones, beginning to get sleepy, are enveloped by a crowd of delighted parents. The kindergarten year is over. And babyhood has ended for another group of tiny students.

THE ANCHORThurs., June 17, 1965
Cou"cil Agenda Continued from Page One The Religious Liberty state ment was discussed at the Third Session and it was only a last minute, controversial, decision that stopped its being voted on. Since then, the' statement has, been revised so as to better re flect the opinions of the Fathers. The document on The Church in the Modern World, "dealing with various phases of church thought and activity in the light of,special conditions of the pres ent day world," touches on the problems of marriage, nuclear warfare, world poverty, etc. ',Amendments to be Voted The ,discussions on two sche mata-The Lay Apostolate and Divine Revelation-were term inated during ,the Third Session. There remains now only to vote Itn the amendments to the text proposed by the Fathers after ;;debate. Substantially Approved Five schemata have already been approved' by the Fathers - in substance. Amendments that have been suggested will first be voted on before final approval shall be given by: the Fathers. These texts concern the office of Bishops, Religious, Seminaries, Education and Non Christian Religions. This last text contains "the highiy controversial statement on the Jews which has come under fire from conservati ve theologians and politicans especially Arabs who fear it might support Zionistic claims. Though rumors have circulated between sessions that this doc ument still faces a rocky road, ext'raordinary i n t e r v e n t ion would be required to change it in SUbstance, since it received an overwhelming majority vote. Only 99 of 1992 voting Fathers rejected it." Other Decisions ,Those Fathers that desire to speak on Religious Liberty or the Church in the Modern World must send a text of their talk to ,the secretary General by Sept, 9. The texts sent to the Fathers have been sent at the expressed order, and after personal exam ination, by Pope Paul. Each document received by the Council Fathers contains: previous and revised texts; Scriptural, patristic and papal citations to support each point; a report showing how the Fa thers' suggestions were treated; a report showing the method followed in drafting the schema ~and finally an index.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The opportunity to revamp our na tional policy on immigration is perhaps brighter today than it ever has been. But, it may not be so bright a year from now. view of this circumstance, establishment of a Nation,al Committee for Immigration Re form has been announced here, bringing together a brilliant company of leaders in business, the professions, the sciences, re ligion and public affairs. The White House endorses the work of the committee.
