Just days ago, the House tof Representatives appropriations c9m~' mittee said environmental protection,if carried too far, can wreck the economy, jeopardize food supplies and shorten human life The committee did not minimize the threats posed by water, air and other pollutions, but seized upon the opportunity offered by its report to c.omment on "pollution versuscor1venience:" ..

Study Seeks Reasons For Sense of Crisis

. WASHINGTON (NC) - What has gone wrong, and why, in the United States and Canada to create a "pervasive sense of crisis" is the frank subject of a' new study circulated among the Catholic bishops of, both countries.

The study, Ii working paper originally discussed in Mexico City at a May meeting of 22 bishops from North and South America, cited eight "points of stress": Poverty and illiteracy: "Large pockets of poverty still trap 20 to 25 percent of Americans and.

Canadians."

Uncontrolled technology and threat to environment: "There is an almost crippling fear that technical advance may make the environment inhospitable for man, even for life itself."

The urban crisis: "Some major cities appear to face paralysis, some are considered ungovern'able. The anonymity th~y impose on lonely crowds resulted in an 'absence of community:" '. .

I . The alienation of'youth: "The growing disenchantment and anger of many youth (is described) by commentators as a counterculture in the making, one formed consciously and deliberately in'. opposit'ion to the one.dimensional perspective of technical man.;' , .. Frusfrations of the older gen'eration: "There is much surprise, resentment and 'fear 'am~ng the older generations at seeing the American experiment radically called in question."

The Vietnam War: "Wide-' spread revulsion is leading to a very critical examination of the United States, present cours~ and social priorities."

Arms race: "Many North Americans regard the staggering

fiscal and psychological burden the old right, which favors law of the arms race as ultimately , and order to a repressive degree."

The working paper commentsuicidal."

Violence: "Angry demonstra- ed after its litany of calamities . tions, bombings, kidnapping and that "meanwhile the urgent demurders have become almost mands of social justice are necommon. The excesses of the gleCted."

Survey Shows Nuns' Interest In Budgets ROCKVILLE CENTRE (NC)Catholic high school faculty members should receive a. complete financial report from their schools each year and should be involved, in the preparation of their schools' budgets, according to a survey of nuns who teach high school here.

Only four per cent of the nuns answering the questionnaire, sent out by the Rockville Centre diocesan Sisters Advisory Council (SAC), said that a tuition hike would be a solution to the financial crisis facing Catholic education.

financial problems could be solved by reassigning teaching nuns from defunct schools to those still in operation.

The great bulk of survey respondents have been in a religious order for at least 16 years.

Eighty-eight per cent of those responding are over 30 years old and 68 per cent hold college degrees above the bachelor's level. "(he survey was conducted by the council's Secondary Education Committee headed by Sister Jane Brennan. Some 59 per cent of the Sisters teaching in diocesan secondary schools last spring Some Sisters felt that con- . took part. tinued raising' of tuition might Initial findings show a high lead to their teaching only the morale and strong support for rich. Others indicated that the Catholic education among the

nuns. Few of the Sisters demonstrated a desire to teach in public schools and almost 90 per cent rated their schools at least equal in educational quality and available facilities to the public schools.

Many Sisters indicated a desire ,for alternate methods' of job placement.

A majority agreed that on an individual basis Sisters should be able to apply for a job from a list of available positions made' known either by a diocese or by a religious community.

The results of the survey have been sent to Bishop Walter P..

Kellenberg through the major superiors and a copy was also sent to the diocesan education department.

Cronin borrowed a ~ire fighter's coat and entered the St. Anthony of the Deser.t Church in Fall River to view damage caused by a fire to the church on Saturday aftrnoon, July 3. With the Bishop'are from left to right, Deputy Chief Walter PieTruszka and Rev. John R. FoIster, chaplain of the Fall River Fire Department. Herald News Photo.

Reasons for Sense of Crisis Continued from Page One The study has just been released jointly by the justice and peace 'commissions on the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) and the Canadian Catholic Conference.

Copies went out to all the bishops of the .United States, along with a covering letter' in which the USCC general secretary, Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, one of the Mexico City participants, explained: "The paper in no way represents an official position taken by any of the conferences repre- . sented at the meeting. Just as it had proven useful in the deliberations at Mexico City, however, it was felt that the paper might well serve as a u~eful instrument in promoting dialogue among our priests and people on the subject of world justice, especially insofar as it pertains to the Americas."

Bishop Bernadin said that, because the working paper was so well received by most of the 22 bishops at the meeting, the document was now being reo leased. Its title is "The Liberatfon of Men and Nations."

Pollution Continued from Page One if all automobiles were to remain parked for a month, but that it would also play havoc with' the economy.

While giving this warning, the committee approved a money bill for $12 million giving President Nixon all he requested for agriculture, and for environmental and consumer protection: It increased the President's request for protective functions funding by $200 million.

Purity Purity of soul cannot be lost without consent. -St. Augustine

Among the reasons indicated in the study for the current crisis are "tendencies to separate human enterprise from the divine."

Anbther'- is selfish 'pursuit of progress.

Crisis Reasons "For each individual person there is always more to know, more to love, more to do, and so more for him to become. But no one makes this long quest for self-fulfillment alone. Each fashions his own history in collaboration with others."

"Since social order and social history are made by men, they are neither neutral nor valuefree. They offer clues to whether men's social relationships are in harmony with divine purpose."

Still another related reason cited in the paper is the degree of freedom men enjoy to be more: "The range of concrete opportunities to exercise .this freedom varies enormously according to economic, political, social and cultural situations.

"In fact for much of entrapped humanity today, freedom is an empty word."

"Much more pernicious than enslavement to nature are the many ways in which men are imprisoned by one another. Many today are enslaved by poverty, illiteracy and powerlessness which unjust social orders impose."

Technology 'Other reasons for this CrISIS were said to derive from technology, which the study credits for "positive contributions to human development." But, it added, when "technological man weighs all questions in the light of output, efficiency, then predictability and manageability tend to become first values, (while) questions about the quality of 'life and the human cost of technics become secondary."

Fordham Holds Forum for Vets

,

NEW YORK (NC) - Unlike' some recent demonstrations, an orderly conference at Fordham .University recently provided returning Vietnam veterans with a quiet forum to air their grievances, Summing up these grievances one participant stated: "He puts his life on the line for his country and when he returns there is n6 flag flying; no/girls, no jobs."

Educational and other benefits are minimal, "and bureaucratic red tape often snarls the applications for even these b~nefits.

And many veterans are bringing home personal problems - drug addiction, medical care, housing needs.

published in 'German in 1937.

Upon the Nazi take-over of Austria he went to Italy, where he died.

This is all that is known of him. Only latelyha's his forgotten novel been rediscovered and translated into English. We can be grateful for its re-appearance.

Ali &' Nino is wholly delightful. It reconstructs a time, a place, a way .of life which have virtually disappeared. Its hero, Ali Khan Shirvanshir, is a captivating figure, and the same may be said of its heroine, Nino Kipiani.

These two live in Baku, on the Caspian Sea, in what once was Azerbeidshan. Already before 1914, when the story begins, the land was Russian occupied, but under the czars it retained its distinctive Eastern character. . Ali is a Muslim; Nino is a Greek Orthodox Christian. At 19 and 17 respectively, they are in love and plan to marry. Because of the difference in religion, they expect their families to object. an agreement is However, reached and the engagement is arranged. pifficulties intervene, but the . marriage' takes place. World War I breaks out, with Russia on the side of Britain and France, and nearby Turkey on the side of Germany and Austria. The Tartars are incliried to side with the Turks as fellow Muslims. Still, although Muslims, the Turks belong to the Sunnite sect to which the Shiite sect of the Tartars is irreconcilably opposed.

Romantic Novel The Turks invade and occupy Azerbeidshan, -but have to withdraw when their side loses the war. Independence is declared, only to be extinguishecl by the forces of the newly constituted Uniqn- of Soviet Republics. Ali dies in defense of his homeland, and Nino and their infant child are swaliowed up in the maelstrom of events. .This may seem an_ unpromising, if not impossible setting for a highly romantic novel. But it is not. And the romantic aspect applies not merely to the starcrossed love of Ali and Nino, which dominates 'the book and is charmingly presented, •

.~.

Tartars, Muslims The reader, of course, knows that their ideals and aspirations are doomea. He realizes that, by 197t, more than 50 years of Soviet oppression and standardization have passed, to the obliteration of the world to which Ali was passionately devoted. This realization lends added poignancy to a narrative intrinsically poignant.

The author 'gives us a vivid account of the various strains and cultures which met and conflicted in Azerbeidshan early in the century. There are the native Tartars, devout Muslims; there are the Christians from nearby Armenia and Georgia, qoth with an oriental cast; there are the officials and the teachers from Great Russia. Even in peacetime, these were at oqds.

Exotic Yesterday But all are religious in their respective ways, and religion in every case permeates everyday life. The name of God is often on people's lips, and prayer is the common practice. This is soon to be brutally changed, with the coming of a totalitarian regime committed to atheism.

We can enjoy, through these pages, an exotic yesterday which will never return. And although the ending is sad, much that precedes it is deliciously funny. The author had a fine ironic touch, dry, and flitting, and there are comic episodes which. cause one to laugh aloud.

This is truly a lovely book, profoundly human but never ponderous, It is free of preachment, yet it adroitly makes the point. that freedom is a glorious' good, all too rare and short-lived in the climate of our times..

Delay Completion Of Plan to Sell Closed Schools

THE ANCHOR,Thurs., July 8,

Parishes Get Funds Parishes procedure for lease or sale must include a written request from the past'o r or parish council to the archdiocese, a letter of recommendation from Bishop Gumbleton, and a statement of information concerning parish facilities that will remain available for all needed parish programs.

Financial terms of all agreements, legal and insurance requirements will be reviewed by the archdiocesan office for administrative services before the proposal is presented to Cardinal Dearden, according to Father Harrington.

Although all the parish buildings are technically the property of the archdiocese, funds ac-' quiredby sale or lease will be returned to the parish or parishes that originally paid for the building's construction, Father HaFrington said.

New Priesh AMSTERDAM (NC)-A total of 10 diocesan priests will be ordained in the seven dioceses of The Netherlands this year. Last. year, only four diocesan priests were ordained for the seven dioceses. The Netherlands has over 7,700 priests and more than five million Catholics.

Northern Ireland Truce Sought

DETROIT (NC)-None of the Catholic schools that have been forced to close here has been leased or sold' to the public school or social service system yet, according to the assistant sueprintendent of schools for the Detroit archdiocese.

Fath'er Bernard J. Harrington was responding to speculation in Detroit newspapers that negotiations between the parishes and various public systems had been completed.

But, he noted, it became necessary for the archdiocese to investigate selling or leasing the closed schools after the state Supreme Court upheld a referendum in which the Michigan electorate earlier this year vbted to prohibit the use of public funds to aid any non-public elementary or secondary school.

The 228 elementary and 70 secondary schools in the Detroit ar'chdiocese will be affected by the passage of the referendum known as "Proposal C." 'Have Great Potential' Father Harrington expects leases and sales contracts for some schools to be signed some time in July, pending the approval of Cardinal John F. Dearden.

Before a parish can lease or sell facilities it must assure its parishioners that it will retain certain educational needs such as pre-school religious education, day-care centers, day classes for adults and religious education for public school children according to a memorandum issued

by Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, Vicar for Parishes.

"We are not giving up these buildings," Father Harrington said, "A great deal of sacrifice went into them and they have great potential. In no way have we disassociated ourselves from the educational program," he said.

Praise Pope's I f ·

'Very Well Pleased,' Conference President WASHINGTON (NC) - The Conference of Major Superiors of Men has, hailed Pope Paul's apostolic exhortation on "Renewal of the Religious Life" as highly encouraging to Religious.

Father Paul Boyle, C.P." president of the CMSM, said it is noteworthy that for the first time a papai letter concerning Religious was sent directly to the heads of religious congregations instead of through the bishops.

At a press conference, Father Boyle praised the Pope's letter for not making any distinctions between men and women Religious, or between priests and Brothers.

The CMSM in the past has been critical of the Holy See's Congregation for Religious for preparing major documents

Plan fublicatio'n Of New Breviary VATICAN CITY (NC) - The last of the big liturgical reforms promoted by the Second Vatic'an Council is' completed. By' Advent, the beginning of the new liturgical year, priests everywhere should have the new Bre-' viary-in Latin-in hand.

But not priests alone, em~la­ sized Father Gottardo Pasqualetti, an official of the Vatican office that has carried out the seven-year-Iong reform of the Divine Office.

"We want to do away with the notion that the Breviary is only for priests," he said. "This is the prayer of the Christian ccmmunity."

without consulting Religious around the world.

"We are very well pleased with the letter," Father Boyle said. "The Pope is speaking directly to the Religious in a document that relates quite clearly to today's society in which the Religious must work."

Father Boyle said the CMSM was not consulted in the preparation of the exhortation and was pleased that the Vatican consulted some American Religious to help prepare the document.

He said one of the most striking parts of the letter was the

Span'iards Alarmed

By Drug Abuse MADRID (NC) - Challenged by a growing drug abuse problem among youth, Spaniards, spurred by Church leaders, are tightening their laws and in. creasing their vigilance.

A new law on social rehabilitation, and a pending new penal code,' provide tougher punishment for drug offenders and for unauthorized possession of niHcotics.

Five years ago reports of drug abuse in other countries met with the attitude that it couldn't happen here. Spanairds like to think that social mores in Spain are somehow better than in France, Sweden or the United States.

However, the government recently disclosed that last year some 600 drug pushers were arrested in Madrid alone, and that of 700 drug addicts being treated, 132 were young students.

The Catholic minority has claimed that the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland discriminates against them in housing, jobs and voting. Protest demonstrations by Catholics and the Civil Rights Association have led to clashes with police and militant Protestant organizations.

Bombings, many of them attributed 'to the outlawed, Irish Republican Army (IRA), have resulted in the deaths of many civilians and several British soldiers sent to halt the violence.

Gogarty, noting that the vio.lence has escalated, said that "there can be no military solution and it's high time that feelers were put out toward some sort of truce."

CHAS. F.

Pope's plea to Religious to hear the cry of the poor by sharing in their problems.

In Clear Terms Father Boyle said the Pope's letter was far more positive, in approach than past papal.letters to Religious. He said the letter "gives a validation of things that are already being done by the Religious."

Sister Thomas Aquinas Carroll, vice-chairman of the Con, ference of Major, Superiors of Women, said the Pope had expressed in clear terms his esteem and hopes for Religious.

She described the general tone of the letter as "one of urging forward," adding that his section on poverty "could be a new charter of action" for Religiolls.

Bishop Leo T. Maher issued a letter from his San Diego, Calif., diocese, also praising the Pope's exhortation. He said the Pope "has issued an authentic call to spiritual renewal to the religious orders and congregations."

'NEW YORK TIMES F'~E . (A tlrHDR/ZeD PER4DlfitEL t1IIILY)

.•

New Voters Now that the 26th Amendment to the Constitution ' of the' United States has been officially certified, those 18. years of age have the privilege and responsibility of voting in all elections in the land.

It is an unhappy fact that the worst voter turnout group has been tradhionally those '21 to 28 years of age.

It is to be hoped thaf the 18 year olds will bring a new sense of purpose to the voting public and will inspire every citizen of every age to exercise this right and 'duty.

There has been fear that the 18 year olds might use their new franchise to perpetuate some of the anti-establishment policy that has been a part of the American scen.e these last fe'Y years. But now there is the fact that they , are part of the establishment, and if they' are to take responsibility for. changing it the process involves not only the overturn of the old but its replacement with . !?omething new and, hopefully, better. The alternative to this is to. tear down the structure and to bring. about a vacuum into which will inevitably rush only disorder and confusion. And any person of common sense of any a:ge knows that neither. he nor anyone else can long survive in peace and dignity and happine'ss in this kind of chaos.

Officials "Await Outcome of High Court Rulings WASHINGTON (NC )- Nonpublic school officials in' three states know where they stand after recent U. S. Supreme Court rulings against school aid programs there.

But their peers in other states which extend some form of aid to nonpublic schools are waiting to see what effect the high court ruling will have on them.

The American Jewish Congress 'and the' American Civil Liberties Union have announced their intention to file schoor aidrelated suits in six states within 10 days based on the recent Supreme Court actiOns. States the two organizations named include Maryland, Illionis, Minnesota,. New York,' Ohio and Vermont.· They 'said the suits will challenge recently enacted purchase-of-service program.s, voucher' plans, tax credits and teacher salary supplements benefiting non public schools.

The nation's high court struck .down on June 28 a Rhode Island salary supplement act benefiting non public lay teachers, and a Pennsylvania purchase of services law .allowing state. reimbursement of nonpublic schools for-teacher salaries, books and other instructional materials 'used in four secular subjects.

Grants to Colleges' The same day, the court upheld a federal law allowing construction grants to church-affiliated coll~ges and universities for . non-religious facilities.

That nonpublic aid victory was especially' sweet for' four Connecticut . Catholic colleges, because it was their participation in the federal statute which had been taken to court as a test case.

But on June,30, the high court dealt a financial blow to Connecticut's nonpublic elementary and secondary schools by upholding a lower court ruling that a $6 million state purchase or'services law was unconstitutional.

The recent rulings, while wiping out these specific forms of nonpublic aid, did not invalidate other possible forms of assistance, and nonpublic school officials in states with similar programs are hoping to retain the programs because of differences in certain provisions or the way they are administered.

Asks Real Attempts At Reconciliation VATICAN CITY (NC) ....::.. A. papal letter to the 58th social week of French Catholics has a go'od word for youthful criticism of injustices. .

"One of ,the most acute conflicts of present-day society is surely the conflict between the generations," said the letter, written on Pope Paul's behalf by his secretary of state, Cardin!!.!

Jean Villot. '.

"Older people are at· times . taken aback by the 'contestation of the young, who point naively or too crudely-but not without reason-at the' injustice that remains in structures that some built with heart, intelligence and generosity." . But the letter. urged that all conflict arising from such contestation "give place to real attempts at reconciliation."

LOUVAIN (NC) - The American Catholic Church's greatest problem, Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit told a convocation at the famous theological, school here, is poor communication between bishops and priests and inco~plete understanding among the laity, of precisely what the Church is.

In a prepared talk at Louvain University as he accepted an honorary doctorate, the cardinal also praised the Church in the United States for its optimism,· spirit and diversity.

Qu'esti,on 'M,edi,a' Portrayal Of Worn,an's Liberation

Moral Traditions Influence Irish

In a recent column I said I felt that Women's Liberation has downgraded motherhood, not giving it the credit and respect it deserves as one of the toughest careers in the world. I got letters from all the country. Usually people write when they , disagree with something, so I'm old fashioned enough to I was surprised that 86 per believe that a woman's instinccent of these letters agreed with my opinion. But I learned much from the letters objecting to my views.

Several women wrote explaining that Women's Liberation asks only that women be given

equal job opportunities, equal pay, equal rights. They said there is no definite policy for the movement; all members can support or withdraw from any issues they choose. The writers of these letters were shocked that I apparently believe the "media line" in which they are characterized as ,unhappy, sick or silly.

Before I formed my opinion of Women's Liberation, I tried to read as many articles and watch as many TV interviews as I could. The letters from supporters of Women's Liberation say the image portrayed by, the "media" is inaccurate. But that image was the only one I could find.

Foul Language I watched a panel show on TV the other night. All the women claimed to be active supporters of Women's Liberation.

One guest was Germaine Greer, author of "The Female Eunuch."

I found her vocabulary offensive. Maybe she was trying to prove that she would be suitable for some men's jobs such as longshoreman, mule driver or army sergeant.

Some women may associate the use of foul language with liberation. I associate the fact that men refrain from using such language 'in my presence with something called civilization.

British Demonstrate Against Abortion BIRMINGHAM (NC) - Nearly 9,000 persons of all creeds from many parts of Britain marched silently through central Birmingham ,to protest legalized abor, tion.

The demonstrators, many of whom had made long journeys by train, bus and car, tramped three miles from the center of this' city to a public park waving banners declaring "Abortion Kills," "End Ths Murder" and "283 Babies Murdered Daily."

Doctors, nurses, Members of Parliament, clergy of many' denominations and nuns walked side by side with family groups, students, teen-agers and handicapped children. Christians, Moslems; Jews and agnostics participated.

tive respect for the sensibilities of others is the moderating infIuence that r~ised 'men from barbarism, and that when womeri put this aside mankind will' go back into the jungle One woman on the panel felt she was fortunate, as a child because she llated her mother, and her mother hated her. Therefore her mind was never cluttered by all that early propaganda of the "mother image."

Another had a similar feeling about her father. He traveled a lot and she never met him until she was eight years old. Luckily she was not exposed to all that nonsense about the importance of family life.

If I don't fall for' the "media line" and remove the surface crust, I see terribly unhappy women grasping desperately for the things they never had, and then using the childish ploy of saying, ·"1 don't care. . I never wanted it anyway . . . you can keep your old 'family' . . . it's not good and I don't need it."

Sad, isn't it?

Other Side?

Some of the letters I got said that "sincere supporters of Women's Liberation" do not like being associated with such "rep'resentation. " But if these women are not a true representation of Women's Liberation, then what is? Where are the stories that show the other side of the picture? Where are the decent women who are backing a noble, just cause?

If the, "media" representation is so grossly wrong, if the women in' the movement feel they are entitled to do a man's job, then why haven't they filled the vacancies in the man's field so obviously open to them . . .

Public Relations for Women's Liberation?

I'll do my part. Next week this' space will be devoted to excerpts from letters I've received· from other mothers giving their opinions of Women's Liberation.

Priest Heads Commission Investigating Maryland Nursing Homes

DUBLIN (NC)-The traditional morality and teachings of the Catholic Church are still a powerful influence on a majority of the Irish population, according to a recent opinion poll.

About 1,600 respondents voted overwhelmingly against legalization of either divorce or contra· ceptives within the Irish Republic. This is especially significant in view of recent demonstrations

by Dublin Women's Liberation members who illegally intr07 duced contraceptives into Eire.

To the question "If you were asked to vote on a law that would make divorce possible in Ireland, do you believe you would vote for or against it?"

Seventy-three per cent said they would vote against, 22 per cent would vote for, and 5 per cent said they didn't know.

To the question "If the law concerning the sale of contraceptives in Ireland were to be changed, to allow them to be sold, in terms of the effect on family 'life in Ireland, what would you expect this change to lead to" the replies wer!=!: a worsening of family life, 50' per cent; an improvement in family life, 24 per cent; no real change, 23 per cent;' no opinion, 3 per cent.

On the question of divorce, all age groups, classes, and regions -including Northern Irelandshowed overwhelming opposition to legalization. Similarly both sexes, and rural as well as urban residents, replied "No."

Texcis: Churches Ask New Effort Against· Bias :

NEW YORK (NC)-When you are poor and unskilled and loose your job what do you do? Drift.

In the past this was. the pattern: If' you lost a job in New" York you might go to Chicago, ' Detroit, 'Philadelphia or another large city and find another job.

But the current recession has altered' the picture consider.ably.

Travelers Aid ~ssociation of America (TAAA)-an agency that specializes in service to mobile people in trouble-announced here 'a five percent caseload rise nationil1ly for 1970, and attributed the increase largely to the current economic recession.

According to Paul Guyler, executive director of TAAA, local agency caseloads have been' rising steadily since the last.quar-, ter of 1969 when the affects of the recession were beginning to be widely felt..

Some agencies, notably those in the larger cities such as San Diego, St. Louis, and Atlanta, had increases ranging from 29 to 39 percent, compared to 1969.'

Unemployment and underemployment are spurs to mobility he explained, especially among the poor' and - lower income groups. These people are the first to be uprooted by a recession.

In 1970, however, the recession brought a largELnew group 'of Clients to Travelers Aid agen" cies across the country, men with stable past employment histories " who had been laid off and were traveling w.ith their families in search of work:

Jewish Officials Reject Proposal F'or Jerusalem NEW YORK (NC) , Pope Paul's proposal for international protection of Jerusalem brought a courteousr but firm reaction from Jewish' officials here.

In an official statement, Philip E. Hoffman, president of the American Jewish Council, said the AJC "acknowledges the concerns of the Christian community . . . with regard to free access to the Holy Places' of Jerusalem and the welfare of the Christian and Moslem populations in Israel."

He added, however, that "while we value the sensitive manner in which the Pope has expressed these concerns, we wonder why there is need to raise these issues at this time."

He said all religious faiths have had free access to Holy Places in that city "especially in recent days . . . since coming under Israeli jurisdiction."

He added: "It is also a matter of objective fact that the Christian community in Israel is the most stable of any that exists now anywhere in the Middle East."

'Special Statute' Pope Paul had reaffirmed his "right and duty" to concern himself with the protection of Jerusalem's Holy Places in an address to cardinals June 24.

The Pope said Jerusalem "should be protected by a special statute guaranteed by an in'ternationl legal safeguard."

In this way, he said, Jerusalem "would thereby be in a better position to become no longer an' object of implacable controversies and interminable dispute, but a meeting-place of concord, peace and faith." .

The AJC statement said.

"We fear that this approach will confound the possibilities of advancing the cause of peace.

To introduce an international agency in Jerusalem will invite intrigue, political competition, and controversy that every internationalized city of the past' has foundered on."

Ecumenism Began With Missionaries WEST DE PERE (NC) - ' Dr. Cynthia Wedel, president of the National Council of Churches, says ecumenism began with foreign missionaries.

"It started in the mission' field," she told 200 clergymen attending the Conference of Major Superiors of Men at St. Norbert College here in Wisconsin. "It was hard to win people for Christ when there were a dozen trying.

Then they got together and found they could do the job."

"We sat down and talked," she continued, "and found we had the same Bible and the same J"'~:'~ r"~rist, despite all the divisions." .

Three things happened in the 1960's to .broaden ecumenical fellowship, according to Dr. Wedel: Roman Catholics opened their doors -to the ecumenical movement; Protestants developed a new awareness of church re-· lationships; and the churches participated in civil rights matters.

The second of these definitions is probably the most common of the three. Strictly speaking, there are no peons in the United States in that· particular" sense of the word. In other words, there are no members of the working class in' _this country, whether in agriculture or any other industry, who are held in a state of compulsory servitude to a master.

Resembles Peonage On the other hand, it would not be an exaggeration to say that, everi at this late date, the farm labor system in some parts 'of the United States closely resembles peonage, at least in certain major respects.

Within rec'ent weeks, for ex,amQle, it came to light that social workers and . other public service representatives were systematically being, denied access to a number of farm labor camps in the otherwise enlightened State of New Jersey. The migrant farm workers, living in tnese camps' are not peons in. ,the dictionary sense of the word.

That, is' to say, they are not being held in bondage to their employers and are legally (though not economically) free to quit - their jobs and pull up stakes on a moment's notice.

On the other hand, they are ,I virtual peons in the sense that their employers claim the right to decide unilaterally who may or may not have access to the miserable labor camps in which I the migrants are housed.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The death of three Soviet cosmonauts prompted words of sorrow and trib"ute from Pope Paul' VI at the conclusion of a general audience June 30.

"We have received just now the sad news of the three Soviet , cosmonauts who for many days held our attention and the attention of the world in their well planned and very brave exploratory and scientific voyage ar01md the earth," the Pope said.

"We express our sorrow for this unexpected and tragic ,end of their undertaking, an' effort which brought forth so much 'admiration. Because of this sad ending we now see clearly the risk and heroism 'of these' brave 'men who attempted this task.

"We desire that our condolences be extended to their fami1ies,' their nation 'and the scientific world on the occasion of , this grave clamity, which elicits our prayers to God, the font of every reward for generous sacrifices and.'of every consolation to grievlng "man."

NEW YORK (NC)' - Senator Edward M. Kennedy has askedcharitable agencies to do all they can to bring the suffering of Vietnamese civilians to the attention of the United Nations.

The Massachusetts Democrat proposed formation of a neutral United Nations agency to allevi-' ate human suffering during wars and natural- disasters.

Until such an agency is formed, he told 250 delegates at an International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVM conference here, relief organizations should give the highest priority "to involving the United Nations in the relief and rehabilitation effort so urgently needed in Indochina."

Azaleas ~ Requ,ire ,Adequate Water'During Summer

By Joseph and Marilyn. Roderick This may seem like a strange time to discuss azaleas; but this is an important time for them. Actually .most Winter kill in azaleas is not caused, by freezing weather in December, but by mistreatment in the hot, dry Su~mer .months..

the dry weather comes, in most plants are able to exist off the water supply which lies 10 inches below the' soil. However, this is not the case with .azaleas.

Therefore one must be sure to give' azaleas an adequate water supply . during the . Summer months. This can be 'accomplished by mulching arid watering, or merely taking the bother of watering every few days.

Weekly Soaking' Although azaleas are one of the worst offenders in this regard, the problem of Summer drying holds true for most other. plants. The success of roses in the Spring is directly related to the amount of water they have received the preceding Summer, or to be more precise, the degree to which they are healthy as they approach the Winter. For these reasons, it is important to . mulch plants if mulching is practical, . to maintain whatever moisture is in the. spil and to cut down on. weeds.

In.terms of watering, we have often suggested in this column, . that one good soaking a week is worth a hundred sprinklings,.

What we try to do is to lightly cultivate the soil heforewe water and then let the hose run in the garden, very slowly, until the particular section is completely saturated.' This may be done in each section of the garden as seldom as once every 10 days, but this is far better than surface watering every night.

IiI the Kitchen Summer has arrived in its' full glory, complete with sand-filled days and warm, sleepless nights.

Oui washes overflow with sandy towels and muddy sneakers. Wet bathing suits turn up in the most unexpected places, just when one needs to wear them and our days become an endless parade of preparing for the beach, getting ready to come' home from the beach and then getting ready to .go back again the following day.. , 1- will admit that I'm lucky to be able to spend every day at the beach because basically I love it as much as the children do, but there are days when one begins to hope for rain in order to_stay home and get some of the chores done. .' One v~ry pleasant aspect of the beach iIi New England is its proximity to seafood markets where fresh' fish abounds imd . vegetable stands piled ,high with area. produce. After the Winter when 'most· of our vegetables . come in the frozen variety; or arrive .from the South ·so tasteless that the only way they are identifiable is by their appearance this wealth of fresh foods is really a treat.

The priest will maintain an apartment in Washington but will be associated with the Jesuit community which conducts Gonzaga College High School here. ,"My liturgical life will continue to be the same, and I hope to do supplemental weekend parish work in the Washington area," he said. '

C:onference Names Associate Director WASHINGTON_ (NC)-Father Daniel D. McKenzie of Cincinnati has been named associate director of the secretariat for ecumenical and interreligious affairs of the National Catholic Conference of Bishops.

Father John Hotchkin is director of the secretariat.

Father McKenzie, 34, attended Catholic schools and Xavier University in Cincinnati and the Pontifical Josephinum College in Worthington, Ohio.' He was ordained in 1962.

gates on neutral ground regarding the controversial question.

Passionist Father Paul Boyle of Chicago, CMSM president, said one of the major reasons for tabling the two resolutions was that they did not directly affect members of religious communities.

A HAPPY OCCASION It is a happy occasion each year to meet with the other National Directors of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith at our semi-annual Meeting in Rome for the grave responsibility of answering the most urgent appeals pr~sently being made by the entire mission-Church dependent on the Society for their needs (and their future!)

It is a happy occasion during our stay to meet with Pope Paul and to receive the encouragement of his words and the 路renewed dedication for our work as National Directors . . . a work that affects more than just the life of the missions -and the world's poor, for it touches the lives of each of us who share in the Christ-life.

Having recently returned from the Spring Meeting, it is a happy occasion to share with you these words of Pope Paul, which are meant even more for you, because it is you who make possible the on-going mission of Christ through your support of the Society.

"If one may, compare the grand missionary enterprise that extends over the entire Church to a tree full of life, then yo~ are in a certain way its hidden roots, charged with nourishing and sustaining the apostolic drive that gives rise to the action of the Holy Spirit."

"It does not suffice to have good will, or to have laborers ready to work in the Lord's vineyard; these laborers must be actually engaged, encouraged and directed towards those sectors of missionary life where the work is most urgent. To achieve this, your collaboration is valuable and ne:essary.

"Missionary work will have vitality, influence and lasting efficacy only when all the faithful are imbued with the apostolic commission the Lord gave to His Church, and which is linked to their faith, to their baptism and confirmation. Those 'who devote themselves more especially to missionary activity need to experience in their turn the路 interest and prayers, the support and cooperation of their fellow-citizens."

"Your activity in the service of the Church is necessary now' more than ever.'" ' "Let us pray the Holy Spirit to stir up in the hearts of . .all the faithful the cry of the Apostle, 'Woe to me if I do' not preach the Gospel.' Is not this the touchstone of a true faith, today as in the past? Through your good offices we lau'nch this appeal to all our Catholic sons . . . We once again express our Rratitude, our benevolence, and our complete confidence. .

In the name of the Lord we bless you." .

Please meditate on these words today to reali.ze better the important responsibility we all have, particularly we American Catholics, in proclaiming the "mystery of Faith" for all to hear.

Please send a generous sacrifice for your Church's missionaries today! Your gift for them is, indeed, a happy occasion! """""""",-""""",,-------------,," "SALVATION , AND SJERVICE are the work of The Society ,

II Th,e Need for Cooperation

Reflections on'Scripture Reading's Continuec,! from Page Sixteen provided a person with all he needed to know about God and the meaning of man's life.

St. Thomas Aquinas warned against such a view. He realized that neither God nor the mystery of human freedom could b~ so neatly formulated. He went so far as to says that to think you , had clearly defined God was a good indication of how little you knew Him. The Bible repeatedly warns that one cannot name God, that He transcends, goes beyond, everything that can be set down in human words. His presence and activity in man's life likewise belies neat, clear, definition.

Life graced by His presence is a mystery that cannot be boxed into clear and precise concepts.

Pauline Epistle Evidence of this is given in

THE ANCHORThurs., July 8,

the second and third reading of Sunday's Mass. S1. Paul is forced to speak in poetic imagery when he attempts to say something meaningful about Christ and man's experience. He cannot begin to say what Christ means to man, to the Church, to the world, ,except by multiplying images-none of which is clear and precise, but suggestive of riches of meal1ing that entice exploration, Paul says Jesus is the "image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creatures." Everything, somehow, is "in him . . . through him . . . for him." He is "head of the body; the Church."

Christ is the ",beginning, the first born of the dead." Each image suggests something more., No one image, nor all of them together, exhaust the meaning of life graced by Christ's presence.

No one image, nor all together, ' can be fully translated into a clearly stated, philosophically formulated "truth" without losing something of Paul's deep insight into who Christ is and what He means in man's world,

WASHINGTON (NC) - The head of the U.S. Catholic Conference's migration work' praised the mercy airlift of refugees fleeing Cuba as a successful program that has the United States living up to its pledge.

John McCarthy, director of migration and refugee services for the USCC international affairs department, told NC News in a statement after action in the U.S. Senate to maintain federal funding of the flights for the time being: "This mercy endeavor, which provides new homes for Cuban refugees, has proved successful through the dedication efforts of the hierarchy and priests of the diocese of 'the United States, who accepted these new pilgrims successfully into the life of their adopted communities.

"These Cuban refugees have contributed much to the professional and cultural life of their new communities. They have created new' industries and' fill positions where their special talents were needed."

President's Advice;, Provpkes Protest BOGOTA (NC)-An invocation

by President Misael Pastrana in which he said that "faith in God is the only hope for those in misery" unleashed a controversy here.

A group of pastors who care for the poor in southern Bogota charged that the president's approach confirmed the old accusation that religion can become "the opium of the people." The controversy has been raging in local papers for several weeks after President Pastrana gave the invocation at ceremonies honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The ceremony is part of a tradition started by Colombians early this century when peace was achieved after a bloody civil conflict known as "the thousand days war."

"In times fraught with harsh pressure and anguish," the president told those at the ceremony, "men have always sought strength in God, because faith in God is, especially for those in misery, the only hope and perhaps the ultimate reason for their existence."

Bishop· Asserts Seminaries Face Stern Rea'lity

THE ANCHOR,Thurs., July 8, ,1971

Cardinal Ordains Married Deacons

BOSTON (NC) - The bishop who heads the American hierarchy's committee for priestly formation counseled a national meeting of seminary educators here that "concentration for the' purpose of excellence is what is needed."

DETROIT (NC) - Thirteen married men were ordained by Cardinal John F. Dearden of Detroit as deacons in the restored permanent, diaconate of the Church.

The ceremony with Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of Charleston; S. C., head of the U. S. bishops' committee on the permanent diaconate. and Auxiliary Bishop Walter J. Schoenherr of Detroit participating, was held here in Blessed Sacrament Cathedral.

Theme of the meeting at St. John's Seminary was "Optimum Uses of Theological Resources."

The sessions were sponsored by the seminary department of the National 'Catholic Educational Association to study seminary clustering and amalgamation~ , Auxiliary Bishop Thomas A. Grady of Chicago, the committee chairman, said amalgamation of inadequate and inefficient seminaries has been urged by Church directives, plus the hard realities of modern academic life.

But while planning boldly and creatively for amalgamation and sharing, he said, seminary administrators must remember that "the question is not how few seminaries we can get along with, but how we can positively muster resources in order to create programs' which comi:line great depth and soundness."

In particular, Bishop Grady warned that whatever plans for seminary amalgamation are adopted, "no loss of emphasis on the primacy of the spiritual must be al,lowed."

Rising Costs Redemptorist Father T. William Coyle, committee secretary, said sharp decrease in seminary enrollment since 1966 and steadily rising costs have forced the Church to study whether it can afford 70 theological seminaries with 1,400 faculty members to train less than 7,000 students.

In a talk entitled "Community in a Cluster," Passionist Father Paul I. Bechtold, president of the Chicago Theological Union, said religious communities have nothing to fear from the amalgamation of their seminaries. The three religious orders which originally formed the CTU relinquished their own separate seminaries to buy and renovate an old hote'l in central Chicago for their new seminary.

\

Servites, Passionists and Franciscans kept their own communities on separate floors of the building, he said, but had their academic facilities in common.

The result has been, according to Father Bechtold, that "Franciscans become more Franciscan."

Besides a better educational program for the students, "there is a' gain in both depth of commitment to one's own community and a broadened appreciation and understanding of others," he said. ..,

Nuns to Meet PITTSBURGH (NC) ..:.... The fourth annual meeting of the National Black Sisters Conference will be held at Carlow College here Aug. 13-20, according to Sister Martin de Porres Grey, conference president. The organization numbers some 350 nuns, or about one-third of black nuns tn the U.S.

Returning to the topic of the opening day, the Pope pointed out that it was a simple ceremony devoid of solemnity. Likewise, he said, the hall was not a showplace of "monumental ostentation or ornamental vanity." , The Pope added that the hall was built so tourists and pilgrims could see the Pope, could be greeted by him and receive his blessing. "The Pope is for everyone," he observed.

Other modern conveniences in the new hall are air conditioning, indirect lighting f~om a lace-like ceiling and complete press facilities along an entire wall. Six side doors and six doors in the rear of the hall permit speedy access and exit. Tourist buses will still park in St. Peter's Square, a three-minute walk from the new hall.'
