Cathedral Camp Marks Jubaee Fr. Walter A. Sullivan, Director, Expects Best Season in Half Century
By Patricia McGowlln Counselors are at Cathedral Camp, East Freetown, today. On Sunday they'll be joined by the first of hun-
dreds of boys who'll enjoy its facilities this summer. And it will be a special summer, marking the 50th year I Cathedral has been in operation. Rev. Walter A. Sullivan, camp director, says the feast of the - - Assumption, Aug. 15, will mark a highpoint in the anniversary observance. In 'addition to traditional Bishop's Day ceremonies, there'll be a concelebrated Mass, with as many priest-alumni of the camp as possible participating. Since most priests of the diocese were An Anrhor of the Soul, Sure and Firm-St. Pall I Cathedral counselors as seminarians, the event should prove a gala reunion.

by temporary camps at Horseneck Beach, Tiverton, Fogland and Westport, all directed by Rev. Francis McKeon. The number of boys attending the camping sessions increased yearly, and in 1919 the Lakeside Park in East Freetown was rented for a month from the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway. Camp was conducted for boys for a two-week session and for girls for one week. The following year the Diocese purchased the Lakeside Park property 1;lnd offered camping for one month for boys and one month for girls. In 1921 a dining room was added to the main camp building. Previously, meals had been served in a tent. In 1922 it was decided to use the facilities for retreats when camp was not in session, and in December of that year work was begun on a chapel and retreat house. The first priests' retreat was conducted in May of 1923; and in 1936 additions were made Turn to Page Three

Pope Paul Reaffirms Place of Doctrine and Bishops Speaking on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of his pontificate, Pope Paul' made two strong paints: he decried the atfempts Of some to change and lessen basic church doctrine; and he pointed to a lack of confidence by some in the Pope and bishops who, under a mandate from Christ, unite and guide the people of God. The Pope indicated that the Church is quite ready and willing to change those elements in and of the Church that are legislative and not doctrinal when there are reasons for so doing. But he insisted that the "deposit of faith that the Church has inherited from its apostolic origin" cannot be changed or lessened or ignored as some have been 路trying to do.
As examples of the change that has taken place and that will be taking place the Pope singled out the World Synod of Bishops that will take place in the Fall which will present for consideration all sorts of opinions differing from his own. Over' many past months there has been a series of documents revising various Vatican organizations and spelling out their functions and duties. Non-Italians are being brought into Curia positions. The Pope also spoke of the "lack of confidence" shown by some Catholics in the Pope and in his aides and bishops. He said that he hears the criticisms with "sentiments of humility and sincere objectivity."
It is' unfortunate that some Catholics within the Church have shown resentment of the Pope and bishops in their exercise of their mission as the only teachers in the Church. There has

been a tendency even among some priests and theologians and religious to downplay this Godgiven role of the bishaps of the Church, a role which cannot be taken by any other person however well-qualified he may think himself to be. The structure of the Church, as established by Christ, makes the Pope and the bishops the Church's teachers and guides. Another danger in the Church is an attitude that would brush aside the importance of unchanging and unchangeable doctrines and question these, not in an attempt to see them the more clearly, but in an attack at their objective truth and importance. Once again, there are those in

Ten veteran monsignorpastors have submitted their resignations to Most Rev. James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River. Resignations, in accordance with diocesan pro-synodal statutes, are acted upon as pastoral need indicates. The diocesan statutes require the submission of resignations when priests reach their 75th birthday. The acceptance of any resignation rests with the Ordinary. Rev. Msgr. Albert Berube, pastor of St. Anthony, New Bedford, resignation submitted on August 31, 1968. Rev. Msgr. Alfred Bonneau, Pastor of Notre Dame de Lourdes, Fall River, resignation submitted on April 26, 1967. Rev. Msgr. Joseph A.

the Church, even some calling themselves theologians, who are .confusing the faithful by either questioning basic beliefs or discussing these in terms that the faithfUl do not understand. It is the role of theologians to try to develop deeper insights into doctrines and to see their fuller ramifications, but in the process the language used and points of view expressed can easily con-. fuse and can infer that the doctrines themselves have changed radically. The Pope insists that the teachings 'of the Church must be seen and understood in their objective truth and that those who mislead the faithful along these lines carry a heavy burden of responsibility.

Bishop Joseph L.

One aspect of such efforts, he told the National Catholic Educational Association convention in Detroit, '''is that the total educational program of a diocese should be coordinated by one office.

Prelate ()bserves Growing Concern !r1)!f' hmdi~ent INDIANAPOLIS (NC) A great deal has happened in and to this world during the past decade in the area of social justice and the Task Force on Urban Problems of the United States Catholic Conference "is evidence of a major institutional commitment of the American Catholic Church to the service of the nation's poor and racially disadvanta~ed." This observation was made by Msgr. Aloysius J. Welsh, Task Force executive secretary, at a workshop here for priests and nuns. EnrichM Teachings Msgr. Welsh recalled Pope John's 1961 words and actions which. gave impetus to a growing concern for the poor. He cited the late Pontiff's encyclical, Mater et Magistra, and his defiance of papal protocol "by leav.ing the usual stately procession to converse personally with a group of workers' representatives from Africa." Msgr. Welsh said "since 1961 a great deal has happened in and to this world of ours. "The social teachings of the universal Church have been enriched by Pacem in Terris, Pope Paul's Development of Peoples and the body of proncluncements of the Second Vatican Council, highlighted by the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World," he explained. "We can be sure that the 20thcentury Catholic counterparts of the priest and levite of Christ's parable of the Good Samaritan are relatively at least as well informed of the duties of organized religion and of Christians to respond to the needs of the wounded stripped and left by the wayside by robbers," Msgr. Welsh averred. Need Is Now He pointed out that the Task Force is "more than a grouping of programs; rather it involves the religious community of, the Church in a practical demonstration that, given unity of purpose and coordination in action, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. "The required orientation towards action is the result both of toe atmosphere of crisis and of the practical, concrete nature of the problems of race and poverty which. demand immediate attention," Msgr. Welsh noted.

The new bill extends tax refunds on purchase of gasoline for oth~r vehicles-cars and station wagons-owned or leased by non-public schols.

Settle Pittsburgh Hospita I Strike PITTSBURGH (NC)-The striking X-ray technicians at two New Castle hospitals have returned (0 work, ending their 17month strike. The agreements reached between the four technicians and the two hospitals, St. Francis and Jameson, is considered a vic- . tory by the strikers for the AFLCIO .American Federation of Technical Engineers, to which the New Castle technicians belong. "It is a 'round-about' way of union recognition," according to Victor Mills, member of the AFLCIO national staff who has been working with the strikers. However, Joseph Noviello, assistant administrator of 51. Francis Hospital, emphasized that the agreement was.between the hospital and a committee of the three St. Francis technicians and not with the union. The strike began Jan. 2, 1968, when nine technicians from the two hospitals walked off their jobs after the hospitals' boards refused to recognize. their newly chartered chapter of the AFTE, local 25. At that time the St. Fran~is spokesman, Noviello, said "it is a policy of the hospital not to recognize any union."

Camp grounds comprise 40 acres and there's a 2,500 foot frontage' 'on Lake Apponequet. Twenty-five buildings house campers and activities. La Salette priests, too, deserve a share of the credit for Cathedral Camp's smooth functioning. When it reopened' after World War II La Salette Missioners aided Father McMahon in its operation for ,two years, while he "learned the' ropes" of camp life. He then direet~d a staff of diocesan seminarians, headed by a chief counselor. In 1960 Bishop Connolly di-

"Religious communities are not a natural way of life," Dr. Dumenceau said, "and consequently they require some unnatural, yet vitally important, means to achieve their aims.

LONDON (NC) - A new bill aimed at legalizing voluntary euthanasia is likely to be presented to Parliament within the next 18 months. The Euthanasia Society, sponsors of a campaign, said it was working on an amended version of the bill rejected by Parlia,ment this year. It said it hopes 'to find a politician willing to sponsor a new bill within the lifetime of the present Parliament, the limit of whose fiveyear term is early in 1971. Details of the original bill and proposed amendments to it and also of the debate which led to its narrow defeat' in the House of Lords, upper chamber of Parliament, were being studied. The announcement was made at a press conference organized by the society to launch a book on its campaign, "Euthanasia and the Right to Die." Doctors, Catholics Oppose Editor of the book, the Rev. A. B. Downing, a Protestant clergyman who, is also chairman of the society's executive committee, said the general plea of most contributors was that the time has come for individuals to have the option of saying when they want to die. "There is a duty to bring needless, suffering to an end when it is not desired by the sufferer," he said. Though the book argues in the main for voluntary eu~hanasia, it also discusses euthanasia for the patient iri no position to decide anything, the adult in an irreversible coma, for instance, or the young child with an incurable condition. Catholics can once again be expected to be-with the support of the majority of the medical profession-the main opponent to any new bill. But the narrowness of the voting on the last bill makes it appear likely that sooner or,later the euthanasia lobby with its influence among the intellectuals, the mass media and the parliamentarians will have its' way_ This is the more likely to happen if the present Labor party government continues in office.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The claim of New York City taxpayers that real estate tax exemptions granted to religious organizations are unconstitutional will be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. In agreeing to consider the case, the court will schedule ar· . guments next Fall or Winter and will then issue a written opinion. The appeal was brought against the New York City Tax Commission by Frederick Walz, acting as his own attorney. He contends that tax exemptions for religious organizations constitute an involuntary payment by him to the religious groups in violation of his First Amendment right to religious freedom.

NEW YORK (NC) - A leader of the Melkite·rite Catholic Church in this country has discounted published reports about a major rift between the rite and the Vatican. Archimandrite Elias B. Skaff, consultor of the U.S. Melkite exarchate and pastor of the Church of the Virgin Mary in Brooklyn, affirmed his loyalty to both Patriarch Maximos V. Hakim and the Holy Synod of the Melkite-rite, as well as to Pope Paul VI. In a letter read from the pulpit and distributed at all the Masses at the church, Archimandrite Skaff, attempting to clarify diverse news reports' on this subject, assured his congregation rumors about an impending split from Rome were unfounded and that Patriarch Maximos had no such intentions.

AUGUSTA (NC)-A joint legislative order asking the Maine Educational Council to study the impact of planned Catholic· school closings on the state's economy has been introduced in the state legislature. Plans for the closing of five more parochial schools in the diocese of Portland were announced earlier. Sponsor of th~ measure asking the Education Council to look into financial implications of the closings is> Senate Education Committee chairman Bennett D. Katz. He asked that the council submit recommendations for legislation to the legislature. The Catholic school closings have sent public school officials scrambling for money and facilities to handle the expected influx of- students from the closed schools. Maine law provides for special aid to public schools in such circumstances but allows no financial assistance to parochial schools.

NEW ORLEANS (NC)
Father Louis F. Generes, superintendent of schools in the New Orleans archdiocese, has proposed the creation of a committee of laymen and Religious to investigate the overall status of Catholic education in the archdiocese. The suggested investigation would explore the possibility of new sources of revenue, dropping some grades and closing of certain schools, if necessary. Father Generes' suggestion followed the release of a financial committee report which predicts that schools in the archdiocese will operate at a $2 million deficit next year. Pat Toner, author of the report, indicated the projected deficit is slightly smaller than in the school year just ended. The prediction is based on budgets submitted by 80 per cent of the schools in the archdiocese. The report reveals the $2 million involved is a cash operating deficit and does not affect parish debt retirements or the service rendered the schools by priests or Religious. lower Income Families Father Generes strongly supports the board's policy of not closing any schools, if at all possible. lf schools were to be closed, he said, the first ones to go would be those in the lower income areas. "Because of this," Father Generes said, "I share the view of many who feel the closure of schools wQuld indicate an attitude on our part of only providing a Catholic education for the affluent. Therefore, I feel the operation of the parochial schools is the responsibility of all Catholics."

Clergy Straw Vote Jolts Merger Plan LONDON (NC}-The 20-yearold movement for a merger between the Church of England and the Methodist Church suffered a setback in a "straw vote" taken among Anglican clergymen. The vote disclosed a large minority of the Anglican clergy opposed to the so-called Service of Reconciliation. The Service of Reconciliation is part'of the merger plan, which involves mutual recognition of ministries and the promotion of inter-communion. Both advocates and opponents of the merger in the Anglican Church were surprised by the results of the vote. The ballot figures showed 9,635 of the clergy in favor of the Service of Reconciliation with 5,621 opposed and 243 abtsentions. In some of the Anglican dioceses the vote was overwhelmingly against the service.

Many persons, when they think of or see a priest, consider him in what might be called his sacramental role.. They see him offering Mass or baptizing a baby or anointing the sick or hearing confessions. In this role he is acting as a dispenser of the grace won by Christ. He is performing the function of channeling the grace of Christ to men. The effectiveness of what he does depends not on his own worth but on the action of Christ working in and through him. Of course, if he is especially holy 0" sincere 9r intelligent or personable this makes an added and worthy impression, but the basic and essential action of making holy is the action of Christ. If this is all that: a priest is, and does-and it is notbut if this is all that a priest is seen to be, then just about any reasonably worthy Catholic who is willing to perform these functions could be ordained to carryon the ministry: of giving the sacraments. This sacramental ministry does not, after all, take too many hours a week and could easily be part-time. Mass every morning, two or three Masses on Sunday, three or four hours. a week hearing confessions, an hour a week for baptizmg, anointing the sick-several times a month in an average parish and many ,many more times in the parishes having hospitals-the sum total of this kind of sacramental ministry would amount to no more than fif- tion or business.

Help the Poor Continued from Page One '. of the many volunteers serving in South America by helping with our material resources. The material help will be accepted in all churches on Sunday, June 29. The Bishop's letter: "If a man has this world's goods, and sees a brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Let us not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth." First Epistle of John: 3-17-18.
Beloved in Christ: This letter is written on behalf of brothers-in-need. Latin America is full of them. The incidence of poverty and sicknes is extraordinarily' high. Along with squalor goes ignorance, even of the truths of God. Many of our young 'people, volunteers for peace, have spent months and years seeking to give the message of hope, and faith, and love where it is most needed. The rest of us might well help with our material resources. Our recent Vatican Council directs us all to do this. "Wherever there are people in 'J1'eed of food or drink, clothing, housing, medicine, employment, education; wherever men lack facilities for living a truly human life, or are tormented by hardships or poor health, there Christian charity should seek them out, console them with eager care, and relieve them with the gift of help. This obligation is imposed above all upon e:very prosperous person and nation." (Decree on Apostolate of the Laity -Documents of Vatican II, p. 499). There's great talk nowadays of "love." Often enough, it is sentimental. Sometimes it is unselfish. But generally speaking it is characterized more by words and protestations instead of deeds. One might almost say that "love" features the world of the wishful, rather than the world. of the workers. So many are preoccupied with their own needs that "love" is judged to describe what somebody does for us, rather than what we can and should do for others. It is ·against this disposition that Saint John speaks in our text above: "Let us not love in word and speech, but in deed and in truth." Saint James supports this argument: "If a brother is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'God in peace,' without giving them things needed for the body, what does it profit?" Our Blessed Lord, Himself, counsels us, in these words: "As long as you have given food to the hungry and drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, you have done it to me." "Whatsoever you have done for one of these least, my brethren who believe in me, you have done to me." (Matthew: 25-35,40.) Because there is grave need in Latin America; because they are all our brothers in Christ; because we prove our. Faith by our charity. Let us all unite next Sunday, June 29th, in giving to prove that we love in deeds as well as words. Faithfully yours in Christ, JAMES L. CONNOLLY Bishop of Fall River

Of Tax Exempts WASHINGTON (NC)-A Georgia congressman wants an investigation of the taxexempt status of the United States Catholic Conference and eight other church groups that he said are lobbying against deployment of the anti-ballistic missile system. Rep. Ben B. Blackburn has asked Internal Revenue Commissioner Randolph Thrower to determine whether the nine organizations have violated laws governing activities of tax-exempt institutions. Blackburn wrote to Thrower, urging him to warn the church groups that they may jeopardize their tax-exempt status if they are found to be engaging in any political activity. Cites Lobbying The other church groups named by Blackburn are the United Methodist Church's Division of World Peace, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America, the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, the United Church of Christ in the United States, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Church of the Brethren General Board, the Lutheran Council in the U. S. A., and the executive council of the Episcopal Protestant Churches. Blackburn also named the Anti-Pollution League Association of Monterey, Calif. He said the tax-exempt organizations have been lobbying against President Nixon's proposal to display a "safeguard" ABM system.

Joe Offers Parents Hint£
CHARLESTON (NC) - For!y Charleston clergymen, including 11 priests of the Charleston diocese, have asked President Nixon to arrange for federal mediation in the three-month-Iong hospital strike here. The clergymen, representing all major Christian "enominations, said "without mediation, our city may well become a Summer battleground, a possibility all the more sad since it is so unnecessary." In a letter to the President, the members of the Concerned Clergy Committee expressed aiarm over imposition of a curfew and the calling out of the National Guard. . Many of the letters' signers had served on committees dealing with leaders of labor, management and government. In April, 34 local clergymen formulated a "Peace With Justice" proposal, which they presented as a starting point toward a solution. They asked for recognition by hospital authorities of an elected committee of workers in the non-professional category. Union membership would not be a requirement for voting or for election, the proposal stated, Basic issues in the strike by Negro hospital workers, which began March 20, are union recognition and higher pay. Involved are more than 600 nurses aides, orderlies and food workers.

KNOCKING AT DOOR: As children (and their parents) clamor for admittance to parochial schools, the spiraling cost of educating them is highlighted by a New York Archdiocese study which reveals that the cost per pupil in parochial schools has tripled in the past decade, and is expected to double again by 1972.

Dual Enr,ollment EVANSTON (NC) - A joint committee of the Evanston District public school board has recommended a dual enrollment policy which would benefit pa~ochial school students. The Illinois dual enrollment proposal is subject to 12 conditions which, in effect, give public school administrators and teachers exclusive jurisdiction over. non-public school pupils whenever they attend public school classes. All decisions about books, scheduling, evaluation and homework in the dual enrollment program must be made by public school officials. The public school board has

To Plan Winter Wardrobe By Marilyn Roderick
.""
I casually mentioned to the salesgirl that the children's Summer clothes were getting picked over already when she brought me' down to earth with the reply that not only were the Summer clothes going, but that school dresses were already in. Blinking once or twice, in surprise, I with a fashion find, mark this as tried to recall the date (fig- alist.top priority on your shopping uring I had lost one or two Jumpsuits are another big
months along the way.) When I reassured myself it was only June and not August, I felt a little better mentalIy but fashionwise a bit out of kilter. It is awfully hard to get in the swing of shopping for Winter clothes in balmy weather and Summer clothes when those icy ruts still decorate our streets, but the speed of modern living and production is forcing us to do just this. Stop a moment and contemplate the fact that if you already know of an August wedding that you're going to attend, now is the time to start looking for the dress you're going to wear. Now is the time, that is unless you want to grace the wedding in a smart wool or Winter ensemble, because that is alI you will find in the stores by August first. Fascinating Array What else will you find in the stores by at the latest August first? If the faShion forecasts are to be believed you will be able to choose your wardrobe from a fascinating array of styles and hemlines. Many designers are including the maxicoat (that's the ankle length) in their Fall collection but this, as with anything that smacks of fad, must be taken in small doses. Pants are still with us but they have a new accessory, the sweater coat. This comes in both a sleeved and sleeveless version and is worn mostly with the twenties and thirties influenced fashions. Sinuous, skinny and slinky are some of the adjectives used to describe this narrow little sweater look that grew into coat length. If you're a gal who likes to be the first in her crowd
Rule Texas Obscenity Law Unconstitutional DALLAS (NC) - Texas's obscenity law was ruled unconstitutional by a panel of three federal judges because it lacks a clear definition of the word "obscenity." The court said material could be considered obscene only if it were "utterly without redeeming social value." These words do not appear in the state's Qbscenity law. A new obscenity law is awaiting Gov. Preston Smith's signature. The new law reportedly does contain the definition of obscenity recommended by the courts. The new law would go into effect 90 days after Smith signs it.

fashion plus that will remain at least through Fall or Winter. If you plan to sew most of the extras in your. Winter wardrobe, pick up a jumpsuit pattern now and spend rainy Summer days stitching it up in a soft wool or rugged plaid. Argyles Make Comeback Mark argyle and art deco high on your "must have" list. These two types of patterns are going to be seen in everything from sport sweaters to evening gowns. Not since the forties, when everyone was knitting argyle socks for boy-friends or favorite servicemen, has there been such a boom in the argyle field. Some sweaters even have their own matching hats and knee socks to give you that "matched" look. Don't take my word for what's coming up for FalI-just keep your baby blues open and before you can say Fourth of July the racks in the stores will be filled with trillions of FalI goodies. Try to overcome your aversion , to' trying on itchy wools in July and you'lI have the pick-of-thecrop.
English Church Backs 'Friendship Meals' LONDON (NC)-The Ecumenical Commission for England and Wales has urged. Catholics and other Christians to express their friendship for each other by sometimes taking part in an agape or "friendship meal." The commission, which was set up by the English bishops, defines such a meal as "an ordinary meal shared by divided Christians or by a family group. It is informal and can take a variety of different forms by the introduction of Scripture readings, prayer, thanksgiving, breaking and sharing of bread and sometimes also by the blessing and passing round of a cup." It should be a "type of passover meal," but the commission emphasized that such an agape must under no circumstances be identified with the Eucharist or intercommunion.
French Workers' Rally Has Huge Attendance PARIS (NC)-Young persons attending the Young Christian Workers' ralIy in Palais des Sports here said they were impressed by the presence at the ralIy of Francois Cardinal Marty of Paris. One YCW member said: "What struck me most was that Father Marty came. We regard him as someone big." The meeting here of between four and five thousand young people was one of 130 rallies throughout France on the same day which gathered more than 100,000 YCW members. Michel Moreaine, president of the YCW, explained the meetings by saying: "Our everyday activity is a struggle for man. Our will is to rebuild a more human world on bases other than the power of money."

BELLEVILLE (NC)-Municipal councils throughout Ontario are going to be asked to make a stand on the question of extension of the separate school system to the end of high school. "Let's have the politicians show their true colors," declared Mayor J. RusselI Scott of BelIeville here in eastern Ontario province. The mayor, who is not a Catholi<:, was the key ifgure in a BelIeville City Council debate which resulted in approval for a resolution supporting "equal opportunity for continuous education in the separate schools of Ontario from kindergarten to grade 13," The resolution will be sent to provincial Premier John Robarts and Education Minister William Davis. It is also being circulated among municipal councils across the province, asking for their support. Discussing community attitudes toward Catholic public schools, Mayor Scott observed there has been "a shift in community feeling and my own personal feelings." "We must stand for what is right," he said. "The day is gone when we can be blinded by bigotry,"

Compl,ement Private Form Prelate Approves Guidelines for Communal .penance Service MADISON (NC)-Bishop Cletus F. O'Donnell of Madison has announced approval of a set of guidelines for use of the community or communal penance service, developed by the liturgical commission of the diocesan priests senate. In a letter to priests of the diocese, Bishop O'Donnell said "the private or traditional form for the sacrament of Penance is not attacked, diminished or replaced by these guidelines. The form for the communal penance service is merely a means to complement the private form by emphasizing, several times a year, if possible, the community aspect dormant in the private form," Bishop O'Donnell said he "wished ~o make it very clear to everyone that these regulations contained in these guidelines require the individual confession of sin within the communal penance service, and more specifically, that all grave faults must be mentioned in number and kind. "The proposed. form for the communal penance service must include tho~ elements of confession both as to essence and integrity, as prescribed by canon

law and moral theology," he noted. In his letter, "in order to avoid all confusion in this matter," Bishop O'DonnelI stated that "so-called 'general absolution,' or absolution given publicly to one or many, without prior confession of grave sins, both as to number and kind, is absolutely forbidden and a direct violation of the regulations now governing communal penance celebrations. "The permission and the directives that priests in unison may confer absolution on the reassembled community is not general absolution," he said, "because the priests who are giving the absolution may lawfully give it only to those penitents who have already confessed to them," The guidelines, entitled "The Sacrament of Reconciliation," state that a communal peniten· tial service should include the following elements: entrance music and opening prayer by a priest; scriptural readings; hom· ily; lay peoples' response; confession; absolution; penance, and recessional.
Evil, which is our companion all our days, is not to be treated ... as a foe.

his' could well be the most important news you've heard in years! Now you may enjoy a special low-cost health protection plan that pays "extra cash" direct to you when unexpected sickness or accident. hospitalizes you or a' member of your family! Mutual Protective Insurance Company, specializing in health insurance for Catholics for over 35 years, has created a brandnew health plan especiaily for Catholics like yourself-the HOSPITAL PLAN FOR CATHOLICS.
T
"Try" This Plan For Only $1
You can actually "try" the plan under a special no strings "introductory" offer: For only $1.00, you can enroll yourself and all eligible members of your familywithout having to see a company representative and without any red tape whatsoever -during this limited enrollment period. And. after you receive your policy, if for any reason you decide you don't want it, you may return it within 10 days and your dollar will be promptly refunded!, Why You Need The Hospital Plan For Catholics In Addition To Ordinary Health InsurClnce
Because no matter what other insurance you now carry, it simply won't cover everything! Think for a moment-in these days of rising medical costs, would your present insl,lrance cover all your hospital bills? All your surgical and in-hospital doctor's bills? AIl the medicines, drugs, supplies and the many other extras? Probably not. And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered, what about all your other expenses-the bills that, keep piling up at home-the tremendous and cost!y upset to your budget, your reserves and your family life?
1!you, as husband, father and breadwinner are suddenly hospitalized, your income stops, your expenses go up. Even if you have some kind of "salary insurance" it probably won't come close to replacing your full-time pay. If your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will look after the fam- , ily, do the laundry, the marketing, the cleaning? You may have to take time off from your job-or hire domestic help. If one of your children is hospitalized, you'll certainly spare no expense. If you're a senior citizen, with limited reserves, and are hospitalized, even with Medicare, where will the "extra" money you need come from? Without any extra cash protection in case of a hospital emergency, debts may be incurred, savings may be lost, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery can be seriously delayed. How The Plan Protects You And Your Family
Now, with the unique protection of the Hospital Plan for Catholics you can avoid these worries-because you can be assured of extra cash income when you or any covered family member goes to the hospitalto help keep you out of debt, to help keep your savings intact, to speed recovery by easing your worried mind! No matter how large your family, no matter what your age or occupation and without any other qualifications whatsoever, you can choose any of the four low-cost plans shown at right. In addition to the important cash benefits, you get all these valuable "extra" features: Your "Health-Bank Account"
Here's a wonderful benefit, no matter which plan you choose, almost like an extra "Bank Account." When your policy is issued, your insurance provides up to $10,000, $7,500 or $5,000-according to the Plan you choose. This is your "HealthBank Account." Then, every month your policy is in force, an amou'nt equal to your regular monthly premium (including your first month) is actually added to your maximum! When you have claims, your benefits are simply subtracted from your "ac(Continued on next page)

Soviet Invasion Favor to Czechs
THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June 26, 1969
Focus Attention on Plight Of White Working' Class By Msgr. George G~ Higgins
Director, Division of, Urban Life, U.S.C.C. In recent months a number of authentically "liberal" magazines have begun to pay sympathetic attention to the plight of the white working class in the United Statesnot the fortunate few who be!ong to the so-called aristocracy of labor, but the great mass of so-called working able t6 make such an effort.

The Czechs commonly say that the Russians did them' a favor when they rolled in with their tanks one summer night in August, 1968. As far as the nation is concerned, the presence of the Soviet troops, which is armed invasion and armed occupation pure and simple, has given them' a cau!>e for national unity which they have not known since the national uprising against the nazis in 1944. As far as the communist government of Czechoslovakia is concerned, it is embarrassed. And that increases the hopes of the general populace, who long ago became disenchanted with their communist government, yet ,saw no way out. The Russian invasion and subsequent buJly tactics have made it eminently clear to every Czech that his country has become one vast prison with the Russians as jailers. Creates Unity As far as the Catholic Church 'is concerned, its position is strengthened. This is because the Church has been the greatest opponent of the communists from the beginning, and now, seeing that the Church was right, many former foes have become her friendS and are quietly supporting her efforts, even in high and official places. The unity which the Russian occupation has created in the Cz~chs is heartening and inspiring to witness. It expresses it-. self mainly in a spirit of dignified non-cooperation. Contrary to what news reports may indicate occasionaJly, the Czechs generaJly abhor aJl unnecessary violence and vandalism.

"A synod would be an excellent test of the parishes' ability to recapture the confidence of a growing number of Religious and laity," said BACL President Don Carroll. "We want an institution in which our children will have the faith and confidence to remain," said Carroll. Archbishop McGucken replied that "this subject has been in our discussions and plans," adding: "As you know, a properly conducted synod will require a great deal of patient preparation."

HOUSTON (NC)-Rabbi Levi A. Olan, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, urged hIS fellow clergym~n ,<June 16) to assign a lower PrIOrIty to theological discussions with Christian leaders because of their "neutral" if not "antagonistic" attitude toward Israel. The head of American Reform Judaism's rabbinic body stated his position at the opening session of the organization's 80th annual convention here. Many of his colleagues disagreed and urged extension and intensification of such interreligious discussions. Rabbi Olan asked that interfaith contact with "the church" be limited to a "common attack against the so~ial evils o~ <?ur day." He criticIzed the Chnstlan world for what he called its continuing failure to support Israel in its "struggle to survive." He attributed this to what he described as the "church doctrine that Israel's successful existence is a Christian heresy; the peopl,e that reject Jesus the Saviour must fail and suffer so that their sinfulness will be be proved." He also accused church organizations of uncritical acceptance of the "Arab propaganda line." At a meeting before his scheduled address the conference's executive board adopted a statement which said: "We are aware of the opinion WELCOME: Father Sullivan greets three campers on their held by some in our community arrival. that interfaith contacts between Christians and Jews be limited to collaboration in civic affairs and avoid conversations of theJi' ology..

WASHINGTON (NC)-A warning against "guilt transference" by making New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller a "scapegoat" to obscure the "tragic inadequacy" of this country's Latin American trade and aid policies has been issued here by the director of the Division for Latin America, United States Catholic Conference. Father Louis M. Colonnese recalled when he visited Caracas, Venezuela, to attend the InterAmerican Bishops' meeting, he "encountered severe criticism of Rockefeller's Latin American fact-finding trip. I see this as a potentially dangerous trend which could make Rockefeller a scapegoat and the object of national guilt transference," he said. True Value "I object to many things about the Rockefeller trip and I have relayed these sentiments to his advisers who requested our advice," Father Colonese noted. "My objections stressed his failure to utilize Church socioeconomic experts, non-contact with youth movement leaders, the brevity of his visits and several other points. "But the true value of his trip lies in the fact that he is encountering strong resentment of U. S. trade and aid policies which he will convey to President Nixon and the Congress." President Nixon, he said, "has received a memorandum compiled by Latin America's foreign ministers at Vina del Mar, Chile, which strongly criticizes interAmerican cooperation and assistance. Lacks Commitment "It makes specific reference to 'the progressive deterioration of the volume, terms and conditions of international financial assistance' and U. S. tied loans to Latin America," Father Colonnese stressed. He cited other similar objections. "Rockefeller has correctly stated that the key issue is the way in which President Nixon and the Congress respond to this informational input," the priest observed. The New York governor's report and the "informational input" make Latin American resentment "crystal clear and leave our national leaders no excuse for failing to adequately understand and respond to this challenge," Father Colonnese said. Consistent budget cuts in the Alliance for Progress, he declared, show that the U. S. does not have a firm national commitment to stimulating development of Latin America. Accurate Carometer Father Colonnese said U. S. investments and loans must not be incorrectly labeled as "benevolent, unselfish assistance" when political, military and economic strings make such tied loans ineffective gestures. Father Colonnese emphasized that criticism of Rockefeller's trip must not lead to its cancellation because the resentment he is encountering is "an accurate barometer" of this country's failure to meet adequately the needs of the Latin American people and to rectify past injustices.

Pope Grateful For W'e~come VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI has stated that he was "welcomed with extreme courtesy" at the headquarters of the International Labor Organization in Switzerland. He did not mention his visit to the World Council of Churches, also in Geneva. The Pope was speaking at his first general audience since his trip to Geneva. He said he had been received at the ILO "with simplicity and respect, not only toward our modest person but still more toward our word and our mission." He continued: "We feel bound to renew publicly our gratitude for the welcome given to us and to the persons who accompanied us, jU3t as we desire to repeat the praises and. good wishes expressed in those circumstances for the work of that deserving institution." He had obtained an "optimistic" impression of the world of labor, he said. Although he observed that selfishness is "the perennial temptation and even "the characteristic sin of the economic field," he said the idea that the world of labor is governed by self-interest "has been overcome at least theoretically, and that is a great deal already." Another achievement of the world of labor, he said, is that on the scale of values man has been put higher than what he produces.
IPr路omise to Help Political P'risoners MADRID (NC) - Two leading Spanish prelates have promised relatives of political prisoners they will try to improve prison conditions, but a third refused to see a delegation of relatives. The prisoners' relatives, most of them women, have been pressing demands in vJlrious parts of Spain, by demonstrations and other means, for an alleviation of the alleged ill treatment of politkal prisoners. One of their basic demands is that the prisoners be dealt with as a special class and not as criminal offenders. Considerable support for this position has come from attorneys and political leaders. 搂'1I111Iillllllllllllllllllllllllllll11I11IIII III III III IIIIIIII liS

Terence Cardinal Cooke appeared on the archdiocesan Instructional Television parochial high schools, and the 12 high' schools operated by the System for a detailed dis- archdiocese itself. cussion of the report, which The report does not include was also issued as a supplement to the Catholic News, archdiocesan newspaper. The report revealed that although income was $14,263,000 and special gifts and bequests total~d $5,468,000, expenses exceeded reven ues in 1968 by $1,222,000. Chief cause of the deficit, the report indicated, was the rising cost of education, especially in the 12 archdiocesan high schools which suffered operating losses of $2,160,000. In addition $1,279,00 of archdiocesan funds was used to meet the operating costs of parish schools in the inner city. . The report does not cover the financial activities of the individual parishes of the archdiocese, which are reported separately by their pastors. Education Costliest The public report was the first of its· kind for New York. Some 22 other archdioceses and dioceses have published similar reports of income and expenditures, reflecting the growing trend toward informing the public of the services rendered by the Church and details of financial operations.

Growers P~edge Anti-Union Fight LOS ANGELES (NC)-Spokesmen claiming to represent growers producing more than 90 per cent of California table grapes said they will continue their opposition to Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, despite the announcement of 10 California· grape growers that they would sit down with union representatives and open negotiations for a contract. A spokesman for the breakaway growers said they had decided to negotiate. because of the union-sponsored boycott of California and Arizona grapes. "It is costing us more to produce and sell our grapes than we are getting paid for them," the spokesman said. Chavez heads the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, affiliated with the AFL-CIO, which has spearheaded a fouryear strike against the growers and an international boycott of table grapes. But Martin J. Zaninovich of Delano, president of the South Central Farmers Committee and chief spokes'man for the dissenting. growers, denied the boycott had had any significant effect. He admttted that the agreement of the 10 growers to negotiate was a "breakthrough," but said the grape-growing industry "will not sell out the American consumer or agricultural workers" by yielding to "coercive" union pressures.

On Tax Cases

PRETORIA (NC)-Society today is not "permissive," as many say, but "licentious," Archbishop John C. Garner of Pretoria told a women's group here. The archbishop told the archdiocesan council of the Catholic Women's League that "we hear much these days of the permissive society. What we must remember is that we are that society, llnd any permissions given are given by ourselves," he added. "Society is said to be permissive in the matter of morals, and especially of sexual morals.
WASHINGTON (NC)-A former law school dean has called on Congress to enact legislation "stripping all federal courts of' jurisdiction to hear cases involving state taxation of property used for religious purposes." . The appeal by Dr. Clarence Manion of South Bend, dean emeritus of the University of Notre Dame law school, came in the wake 0 f the U. S. Supreme Court's decision to rule on the constitutionality of a case involving state laws exempting church property from state taxes. Manion, regarded as an authority on constitutional law, has warned that the high. court's agreement to hear the case "portends the death of our institutional .religion." He charged the court headed by 'Chief Justice Earl Warren has prejudged the issue because of its decisions in banning prayer from the nation's public schools. The former Notre Dame dean asserted: "Its predictable ruling will wipe out poor churches and turn big ones into museums of atheism as in Moscow." Series of !Losses "In God's name, therefore, I am urging you and every member of Congress immediately to support a bill stripping all federal courts of jurisdiction to hear cases involving state taxation of property used for religious purposes," Manion pleaded in telegrams to all members of Congress. The case the U. S. Supreme Court agreed to rule on involves New York Attorney Frederick Walz who sued the New York City Tax Commission, contending that tax-exemption granted to churches forced him to contribute to their support by increasing his own property tax. Walz's appeal was denied by the trial court-New York Supreme Court; then by the Appellate Division, First Department of that court, and finally, by the Court of Appeals 'of New Yorkthe state's highest tribunal. Acting as his own lawyer, Walz claims to be "a Christian but not a member of any religious organization - rejecting them as hostile." The New York City Tax Commission has ruled Walz failed to establish that the state's real property tax law "affects him injuriously and actually deprives him any constitutional rights under either the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution," as Walz claims.

Since May 15, when the program was outlined, inner-city vicars, priests and interested parties have argued that the permanent diaconate plan supposedly was being designed for use by the black community, but that the approved program was of no use , to them. Auxiliary Bishop Walter J. Schoenherr, in announcing the cardinal's decision, said 26 men already have submitted applica'!io~s for the. pr~gram.. !Ie said It IS the cardinal s decls.lOn that t~ese men should be given the opportunity to complete the twoyear program which will lead to their ordination as deacons. "I feel that the inner-city complaints are against Rome," Bishop ~choenherr !laid, "rather than against those of us who have worked to formulate this prog~am. If vie are going to have a dlacona!e, we have to follow rules laid down by Rome. "These rules cover the' innercity's basic O?j~ctions to the program: the minimum age of 35 and the celibacy-marriage stilmlation," he said. "This is not to
say that there cannot be exceptions from the guidelines. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of Rochester just received a dispensation to ordain a 34-year-old. But any plan which is laid down, must follow the rules of the motu proprio (the papal document laying down the rules for the re-establishment of the prEimanent diaconate). "I wish there were some way around this," he continued, "but there just doesn't seem to be. The cardinal, too, feels their complaint is against the concept of the premanent diaconate as outlined in the motu proprio. ' "He is not adverse to a lay leadership program being set up, but the men graduating from the program ~annot be called deacons," Bishop Schoenherr said.' The permanent diaconate program under heavy fire primarily ,for demanding that all applicants be over the age of 35, and that they be married. If they are single or a widower, 'applicants many not marry after they are ordained deacons. The plan's two years of education also has been criticized but not to the same extent be~ cause all parties agree that 'candidates will need training for the positions they are going. to undertake.

' In the nation's annal.s' only three chaplains, ;all . Catholic priests, have been awarded the nation's' highest honor for heroes. An Honor Medalist is excused ~rom further combat duty, according to military tradition. , But Father (Capt.) Angelo J.

S. troops from Vietnam. He said this will boost the enemy morale and make the GIs left to fight anxiously look for support. "Politically, we are losing the war in this country," Father Liteky told the Rotarians. Father Liteky said he is "no expert," but has wondered why "American forces don't bomb Haiphong harbor in North Vietnam or blast dikes to flood much of the enemy homeland."

Baker's Biography Shows Hemingway Inconsistent By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy The first book by Ernest Hemingway was published 44 years ago. Hemingway has been dead for eight years. As far as I can make out, all of his books save one are still in print, not only in paperback but also in hardback. This is an extraordinary This was his objective as long record, evidence of the duraas he .lived, and in pursuit of bility of his work and of pop- it he was to know anguish and lar interest in it. It indicates joy. that there will be a sizable audience for Carlos Baker's biog路 raphy, Ernest Hemingway: A Life Story (Scribners, 597 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. 10017, $10). This is a whopping volume, with 564 pages of' text and over 100 pages of notes. It covers Hemingway's life, from as microscopically as pos!!ible. Mr. Baker has refrained from interpretation. He has restricted himself to the procuring of all available facts, and these he has proceeded to weave into a chronicle. His labors enable one to know a very great deal about Hemingway, but the knowledge is largely of the surface sort. Hemingway was born in 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. His father was a physician. The child was baptized in the Congregational Church; both his parents were religious, an uncle was a medical missionary, and the whole family were regular churchgoers. Young Ernest was physicially rugg~dand ener.getic. He took avidly to the hunting and fishing to which his father introduced him at their place in the Michigan woods. He was a dogged, if not outstanding, athlete. There was something of the bully in' him from his early years. He was eager to excel, and boastful. . His high school themes, drawn from his own experiences, show: ed exceptional writing ability. He rejected the idea of going to college, and got a job as reporter for the Kansas City Star. At 18, he volunteered as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross and was sent to the Italian front in World War I. He was badly wounded while bringing cigarettes to Italian soldiers in the trenches. Direct Transcription He spent months in a Milan hospital where he met a nurse who was the prototype of Catherine Barkley in his novel, A Farewell to Arms. After returning home, he wept to Toronto for a reporter's job on the Toronto Star. He then moved on to Chicago, where he met, and was counselled and encouraged by, Sherwood Anderson, already a famous writer. In 1921, he married Hadley Richardson, eight years his senior. It was her money which enabled the couple to go to live in Paris, where Hemingway proposed to devote himself to serious writing, while turning out occasional jOllrnalism. In Paris he associated with Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Scott Fitzgerald, and other writers. He had definite ideas as to the kind of writing he wanted to do. His work would be true and simple, in declarative sentences without ornamentation, aimed at "the direct transcription of what he saw."
Absorbed in Killing It was his first novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926), which established his reputation, and in it, as in the short stories, could be found the fulfillment of his effort to achieve "the direct transcription of what he saw." The "direct" part was in the spare, sensuous style and the "transcription" in his use of personal experience and, as characters, of people of his acquaintance whom he did not bother to disguise. He attained great fame, made larger and larger amounts of money from his books, the serialization of his novels, the filming of his fiction long and short, and from reports he wrote of bullfighting and his African safaris. His passion for blood sports runs through the book, and there is something revolting about the absorption in killing which characterized his whole life. He was fascinated by war, and this book gives an account of his activities in Spain during the civil war of the 1930's and with the American forces in England, France, and Germany during World War It Violence mesmerized him. He was" always challenging people to boxing bouts, and in these he strove to 'inflict punishment and to prevail. Anointed by Chaplain Hemingway was terribly accident prone. Serious injuries sustained by him were frequent, and these, plus the ravages of his drinking, wrecked a strong constitution. Just past 60, he was a ghost of his former self, wracked by illness, unable to write, and suffering delusions of persecution. People who had not seen. him for som~ time were shocked by his appearance and behaviour. After tWo confinements in the Mayo Clinic, he managed to persuade the authorities there to release him. As soon as he got to his home in Idaho he shot himself to death, on July 2, 1961. His father had committed suicide, and he himself had spoken of suicide for many years. Was Hemingway ever a Catholic? After being wounded in 1918, he was in a hospital ward with Italian soldiers, and their chaplain went through, anointing all who were seriously injured. Hemingway, apparently, was anointed with the rest and thereafter referred to this' as his baptism as a Catholic. Nominal Catholic His second wife was a Catholic, their marriage (which lasted 12 years) took place in a Catholic church, and he then regarded himself as a nominal Catholic. He went sometimes to Mass, and once at least he gave up hard liquor for Lent. The Spanish war, he said, ended his belief in an after-life, and the alliance of Franco and the Church turned him away from such membership as he supposedly had. In 1955 he called himself a Catholic of sorts. and the gold medal signalizing his Nobel Prize he gave to the shrine of Our

~ Two Former Coyle Athletes ,
Cunniff New Hoop Coach at Feehan Appoint Mansfield as Assistant with the diamond duties in addition to basketball post. The appointment of Cunniff was followed by the announcement of Jeffrey Mansfield as assistant basketball coach. Like Gerry. Mansfield is a native of Taunton and a graduate of Coyle High where he was an outstanding athlete. Basketball was his sport as he earned AllCounty honors in his junior and senior years. Mansfield was selected to the All-Star team of the New England basketball squad during his senior year. Upon his graduation, the rugged six-footer enrolled and eventually graduated from Merrimack College where he continued his athletic accomplishments as a guard on the varsity basketball team. Mansfield, who is 23, will teach History at Bishop Feehan. He is presently teaching in the Catholic School System in Taunton. Married and the father of a son, the appointment of Mansfield should give the Shamrocks two of the youngest and most capable coaches in the Bristol County League area.

Former Coyle High School and Stonehill College athletic standout, Gerry Cunniff, was recently appointed head basketball coach at Bishop Feehan High School. The announcement was made by newly appointed Athletic Director Paul O'Boy. Cunniff, who recently completed his first season as head baseball coach at Bishop Stang, succeeds Fred Bartek who will move to Norton High in September. A -native of Taunton (343 Berkley Street),. Cunniff came to the North Dartmouth h.igh school last September where he succeeded former diamond mentor, Gerry Hickey. In addition to his baseball duties, Cunniff was an assistant football coach of the Spartan varsity. The Taunton native was a three-sport athlete during his four years at Coyle and later went on to gain fame as a basketball and baseball standout at Stonehill. At Coyle he was a member of several All-Bristol County League baseball teams from his sophomore year through his graduation year in 1960 and won similar berths for two years in basketball and one in football. The 5-9, 160-pounder boasted equally impressive ~thletic creaeritials in college. A four-year member of the varsity baseball and basketball squads, Gerry was named Soph. omore Athlete of the Year in 1962 and captained both sports .in his senior year. Prior to his apointment路 to his teacher-coach position at Stang, Cunniff taught Religion and was head of the physical education program at Sacred Heart in Kingston. This past year, Gerry guided the Spartans to a 7-7 record in
Blames Both Sides In Disturbances FAIRFIELD (NC) - Former Presidential advisor Theodore C. Sorensen said here that militant students, do-nothing administrators and over-zealous public officials and law enforcement officers are putting the American university system in peril. Sorensen also criticized faculty members ."who place tl1eir passion for popularity among the students and their desire to be in the avant-garde ahead of their obligation to the university's integrity." The former special counsel and chief speech writer for the late President John F. Kennedy gave the commencement address at Fairfield University. He, along with four others, received an . honorary degree from the Jesuit university. Lady of Santiago de Cuba. Not long before his death he said that he believed in belief. His burial service was conducted by a Catholic priest. In this respect, as in so many others, a man who prided himself on being direct and unequivocal was certainly inconsistent and elusive. And that is why he escapes clear portraiture and definite explication in Mr. Baker's factually exhaustive book.

Pope Notes Import Of Youth Problems VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul is glad that the older generation is waking up to that "problem of highest importance" which is today's youth. The idealism and moral courage of many young people, he said, "makes us hope that they themselves will open the way and find those reasons of life that give direction to freedom." He cautioned: "But there is need to lead the young soul's center of gravity back to inner awareness, where the personality forms and expresses itself. It is there, once the equilibrium of the human faculties is restored that an encounter with <Shrist, the interior master of life, will decide youth and give them happiness."
