Maurice E. Parent, assistant pastor there, who died Monday evening at the rectory. Although he had been ill for some time, he had continued his pastoral work and his death was somewhat unexpected. Born on Dec, 1, 1921 in New Bedford, the son of Mary Louise Verrette Parent and the late Eugene Parent.

New Marriage ,Directives

I For Teenagers in Canada f

EDMONTON (NC)-From now , on, there may be fewer teenagers married in churches of the Edmonton archdiocese-and possibly fewer marriage break-ups later. Because of the failure rate among marriages where either one or both partners were aged 19 or under, and the number of applications for annulment to the Regional Marriage Tribunal in Edmonton, new directives regarding the preparation for ,marriage 'of persons in this age group have been issued with the approval of Archbishop Anthony Jordan of Edmonton. Under these new directives, which have been sent to priests of the archdiocese, the couple, must see their parish priest four months before the date they wish to marry. They will be interviewed by the priest, both together and separately, to determine whether they're mature enough to marry,

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Change in an ever-changing world can be a good thing, but there are some things in the Church-suoh as its make-up and divine truth - ' that must never be changed, Pope Paul VI told thousands of tourists at, a general audience in the Vatican. ''There are some things wh,ich can and perhaps should be changed (in the Church), but we all .know there are other things which are so important ... and so essential, sUClh as divine truth and the make-up of the Church legitimately and authoritatively founded, that must not be changed," the Pope said. Instead, he insisted, these important and essential qua'lities of the Church "should be defended, preserved, reaffirmed and absolutely renewed both interiorly and exteriorly." Throughout and since Vatican Council II, the' Holy Father has made constant reference to this theme: the elements in the Church that are subject to change to present the truths of God to men in the here-and-now context of their present lives and culture, ,and the unchanging truths themselves which cannot be altered in their essential meaning. The late Cardinal Bea, at the' beginning of the Council, spoke out about the first work of the Council - to present Catholic truth to the twentieth century

or whether they wish to do so, for instance, to escape an unhappy home situation or because the prospective bride is pregnant. Pregnancy will not automatically gain them. permission to marry. In some cases where pregnancy, or obvious immaturity, or other problems are involved, the young couple will be referred to a counselor for help. In all cases they will be required to take a pre-marriage preparation course. Their parents will be interviewed, to find out whether they feel their son or daughter is m~ture 'enough to marry. If there is a personality conmct between the parish priest and the young couple, they will be referred to another priest. But permission for all marriages where one or both young people are under the age of 19, must be Turn to Page Two

Is there still hope for the ecumenical movement? What _is its course likely to be in the future? What are the prospects for broader Christian-Jewish dilogue in this decade? These are some of the questions to be considered at the 26th annual New England Congress of Religious Education, which will have an extensive interfaith dimension. The Congress will take place on the Amherst campus of the University of Massachusetts, from Friday, Aug. 25 to Sunday, Aug. 27. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield will spon路 sor the event. More than 150 seminars on a wide 'range of topics will attract thousands of persons from Northeastern United States to the U-Mass campus. Seminars d~aling with' interfaith concerns will include: "Faith and Prejudice: What Christians Teach about Judaism and the Jewish People," an interaction seminar to be chaired by Rabbi Herman E. Snyder, Rabbi Emeritus of Sinai Temple, Springfield, and Milton Heller, director of the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts office of the American Jewish Committee. , Why ecumenism receives only lip service from most Christians, and what courses of action are available for an ecumenical Christian style: a discussion by, Pastor Richard Koenig.

in a language that he understands, to present the Church to non-Catholics in terms that they recognize, to show that the Church of this age is the Church of Christ, adorned with twenty centuries of experience but still the same Church founded by Christ on Peter. Pope Paul has reiterated this concept. He has always insisted on the careful balance of the work of preservation of unchanging truths with the updating of techniques and language and pre路 sentation. He has stressed often, as did his predecessor Pope John, that the basic renewal in the Church must be a renewal of holiness

in the lives of Christians. The basic change in Christians must be one of turning more steadfastly to God, and conforming more perfectly to His Will. In his talk the Pope praised society's efforts to change the lot of all men for the better and said he hopes this desire among all men for change in the world is aiways in accord with the will of God. The Pope held his last general audience in the Vatican until the Fall on July 12. From July 19 until, the middle of September the regular Wednesday general audiences will be heard in the audience hall at his Summer residence at Castelgandolfo.

Development Grants To 18 Programs Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River, has .disbursed funds to 18 projects throughout various areas of the diocese in the nationwide war on poverty that was instituted in 1970 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States. The second appeal to break, as Pope Paul stated, "the hellish circle of poverty for God's sake" was made throughout the dio,cese on, Nov. 20 and 21, 1971. At the time of the introduction of this appeal in 1970, the Catholic Bishops pledged that 25 per cent of the total collected in a diocese would remain for the fight against poverty within the boundaries of each diocese. The 18 grants in the diocese amounted to $9,000 and is being used to bolster the work in programs dealing with food study for the elderly poor, the Big Brothers, underprivileged chilo

dren, immigrants, camping projects for indigent children and others. The diocesan committee has Rev. Francis L. Mahoney, as-, sistant at the Immaculate Conception Parish, Fall River as its director. In the allotment of the funds, Father Mahoney was assisted by the following committee members: Fall River Area, Father Mahoney and James Gillet; Attleboro Area, Rev. Norman Boule, assistant at St. Joseph's, Attleboro and Thomas L. Warren; Taunton Area, Rev. Bento Fraga and Robert McGuirk. New Bedford Area, Rev. Thomas E. O'Dea, assistant at St. Lawrence's, New Bedford and John M. Clements; Cape Cod Area, Rev. John V. Magnani, assistant at St. Patrick's Falmouth and Jean Sullivan.

BROOKLYN (NC)-Pastors of parishes .in the Brooklyn diocese may serve ,only a maximum of two six-year terms, Bishop Francis J. Mugavero has announced. This is a departure from the traditional practice here in which the bishop appointed pastors without assigning a specific. length of time for pastoral duty. Permission for the change in procedure was granted by Pope Paul VI in a letter to Bishop Mugavero sent by the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy. Bishop Mugavero had written to Rome requesting the chal1ge. The letter explained that the permission is effective on an experimental basis until the revision of the Code of Canon Law, which is currently under way. The archdiocese in Boston recently announced similar guideHnes of two six-year terms. A pastor in Boston may be transferred to another parish before the expiration of his appointed term, but he can only serve a total of twelve years from the date of his first appopintment. The changes in Brooklyn and Boston were partly the result of made' by recommendations priests' senates. Bishop Mugavero said the let- . tel' of permission from Rome' "took into account the favorable recommendations of the Priests' Senate based on a recent general poll of all our priests." In Boston, Archbishop Humberto Medeiros said the change in pastoraiappointments is the result of recommendations made by the Boston Senate of Priests in June of 1970.

Start Campaign To Recruit Pupils PHOENIX (NC)-When volunteers go from door to door' in parishes of the Phoenix diocese this summer they won't be soliciting funds. They will be recruiting pupils As part of the diocese's Proj~ ectFaith, the volunteers will try to get parents to enroll their children in Catholic schools or in religious education programs. The diocesan board of education said that the campaign is needed becaus(! "more than half of our Catholic children are not in Catholic schools nor in other programs of religious education." The door-to-door campaign, according to education officials, is designed to insure that all children in ·the diocese receive some sort of religious instruction.

Miss,ionary Work ROME (NC)-Why must the Church's own missionary administration-the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoplesdefend the need for the missions? Why is the enduring need for missions being questioned? Why is Christ's missioJ;lary command to go out and .teach all n!<ltions being questioned? Is the pilgrim Church no longer missionary by nature? The very sad fact is that the Church must defend the need for the missions. A rising cloud of doubts, stirred partly by a new approach to non-Christian religions and partly 'by new approaches to Christianity itself, has obscured the need for missionary work, that is, for carrying the Christian word and Christian works among nonChristian peoples. Of course,morale on the missions is bound to suffer. Missioners have become fewer, and older. Replacements are thinning. The missions are threatened with slow paralysis. Sources of Crises It is commonly said that to-

Necessary as Long as Human Suffering Exists

To keep missionary motivation strong and dynamic: it is not enough to build a wall around it against the religious relativism that would enfeeble it or the secularization that would drain it of all religious content. Rather, the fait,h which is its lifeblood must itself be resistant to these viruses. There are, very broadly speaking, two distinct kinds of faith. One sees religion as the staff of life, on which pilgrim man leans -as he toils up the tortuous and rocky paths of this earth. It sees religion as a consolation, drying the. tears of suffering mankind in this vale of sorrows. It sees religion as an ideal, inspiring man with love of what is right and good. This view of religion cannot long suffice as the mainspring missionary vocation. It is of an easy prey to secularization. Because it fails to see how the truth of religion bears directly on' religion's capacity to do its

ments? One missioner declared publicly that he would not carry even life-saving medicines into the bush lest his apostolic mission be obscured and diverted. This is the drastic reply to those who would turn missionary work into development work. But it cannot be the right answer. The right answer must surely be based on the principle that grace perfects nature rather than destroys it. that a man's apostolic purposes cannot eradicate his normal human compassion. Missions Necessary Without such compassion the Church, despite the orthodoxy of her faith, can never be the transparent sign of her divine origin she is called to be. The Incarnate God willed that His Church should be a motive for credibility to the nations not only in its holiness but in its compassion. It is that very compassion which sends the missioner to non·Christian peoples to preach Christ and him crucified.

Bishops Stress Traffic Safety MADRID (NC)-With the slogan "Green light to Courtesy," the Spanish bishops have launched their third annual campaign for traffic safety. Thirty-five priests work full time during the Summer months in the Highways Apostolate. Government agencies and communications media have discovered the campaign works and are giving it full support. On the last Sunday of June the 1972 poster was displayed on Spain's main roads.. It showed two wheels arranged to look like an 8. The top wheel showed a smiling face, the lower wheel was firmly grasped by two hands.

Thousands of flyers were distributed to passing motonslS at intersections and roadside stops. A prayer on the flyers said in part: "Lord, as I put my hands on the wheel, give me the desire to go through the world like you, spreading good things and uniting men. Lead all drivers safely to their destination on today's trip and the trip of life." Campapign headquarters here published statistics showing that last year there were 58,176 serious accidents on the country's highways with 87,454 persons injured and 4,247 dead. The number of traffic fatalities in the U. S. in 1970 was 54,682.

Bos:ton Woman Directs Relief Program SYDNEY (NC)-What is a woman who is an industrial chemist, a trade union official and a Fulbright scholar doing in Indonesia? She's helping the needy as program director for the U.S. Catholic Services (CRS) in Southeast Asia; that's what. The CRS worker, Miss Matthia E. Marley. received the 1970 outstanding alumna award of Regis College, Weston, Mass., and also has received the papal "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" medal for her service. On her visit to Australia, after a four-year stint in Indonesia, Miss Marley, a Bostonian, was able to catch up on her missed sleep and also to visit friends in the AustraHan Catholic Relief Offices in Sydney. She described how her American assistants. and local staff in the Djakarta office plan their journeys to areas of need, where they set up distribution centers issuing Food for Peace commodities. "Need is the only criterion for CRS help," Miss Marley told NC News. "In the Indonesian food distribution area we have 175,000 beneficiaries, mostly mothers and preschool children," she said. "School and other childfeeding programs, including summer campf.:, are part of the task. "Second largest group are foodfor-work projects in community development, irrigation, road maintenance and construction, where those involved receive food in return for their l·abor. "In addition to these, a large medicine and medical supply project is serving the needy, with equipment, dressings, and vehicles for mobile clinics. WOrked as Chemist "A third facet of our program is assisting development projects, .

and this is where our relationship with Australian Catholic Relief comes in," Miss Marley said. "As far as applications handled are concerned, Australian Catholic Relief (ACR) is the major contributor."

Named to Post In Washington ROME (NC) - Alice Collins, head of Rome's busy USO club close to the Vatican for the past eight years, has been transferred to Washington, D.C. as a top executive of the National Catholic Community Services (NCCS). Miss Collins, a native of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., will become the director of program and field service for the NCCS under its executive director, Michael Menster. "Rome is one of the most interesting of all assignments in the USO," said Miss Collins. From Caribou, Me., to Augusta, Ga., to Paris, France, Miss Collins has worked in USO clubs for almost 20 years. "Besides just being in Rome," she said, "this club is rewarding in that we not only work with the individual man in military service but also with his family. "We serve families of all military stationed in Europe. Most of them come from Germany. And our task is not only to be on hand to welcome them to Rome but to arrange for tickets to papal audiences and other public ceremonies at the Vatican, make hotel reservations, give advice, arrange tours and change money." Miss Collins said that in the past five years' the number of persons being helped by the Rome USO has increased greatly. She estimated that nearly 50,000 persons come in direct contact with the club each year.

CRS cooperates with many funding agencies like ACR· and its counterparts in New Zealand, Canada, and various European countries by submitting requests for funds' to aid development projects. The roots of her absorption in helping people dates back to her Boston days. After studying science, biology and chemistry, she worked as an industria1 chemist for 10 years, and became involved in the trade union movement. She was one of four women members out of a total of 1,400, and held elective office in the union. "I was in women's lib before it ever took shape," she said. Activity for the union in community service, political action, entertainment, and bringing wives into the union. program, led to her being appointed delegate to the district council for . two years in succession. Joins Relief Agency 'She applied for a Fulbright scholarship, and studied at Leeds University, England, observing the implementation of the British health services program. She intended on her return to the United States to be a lobbyist for similar legislation to be put through Congress, but first she went to Geneva with a Workers' Education Association group to attend a UN International Labor Organization (ILO) meeting. In Frankfurt, Germany, she came into contact with the plight of refugees, a problem left over from World War II, and joined War Relief Services (now CRS) and worked to help refugees emigrate to the United States. For a while in Boston, she resumed her work for the union, but decided to join CRS and was back in Germany soon afterwards.

THE

Great Joint Effort While 't is much too soon for people to start saying that all is ell in the world, there .have been recent signs that things re shaping up so as to give reason for optimism. or, at least, reason for not being pessjmistic. . . The dr matic announcement from the two Koreas that there is a s rious intent between them to settle old differences and ork together and without outside interference for reunific tion is a case in point. The .ca tious reaching toward each other of these United Stat s and the People's Republic of China is another heartening t rn of events. The rna y agreements that came out of the President's .visit to Sovi t Russia give reason for hope. ' But the e is one of these pacts, little noted, as significant as an of these and may, in the long run, be more impressive an all of them, and that is the little-heralded agreement etween the United States and Russia that expands their 'oint research on cancer. There will be an exchange of xperimental 'drugs for tests in each other's laboratories. There will be a pooling of efforts in the chemothera y of cancer.

Many i vestigators indicate that significant advances. have been ecorded in cancer chemotherapy in the last twenty yea and that control of cancer is likely to be. achieved by chemical· therapy. . Exchan' e of experimental drugs, cooperative research . on particula problems, joint meetings and programs-all these activit es taking place between scientists of two great nations can ot help but give a great impetus to the war on cancer, reat encouragement to those working on the problem and great hope for. deeper 'knowledge and, please God, eventu I control of this dread disease. .

KELMAM (NC)-There is a consensus of many people of all churches that "the ecumenical . movement has reached a critical stage in its history," according to a report of a commission considering the future role of the House of the Sacred Mission, an Anglican foundation here in England. The report, based on numerous interviews with people of all churches actively engaged in ecumenical work, said: "Those energies have given (the ecumenical movement) direction to this point have largely been exhausted. "One sign of the tlirning point is the wide disillusionment with the movement itself, and disappointment at how little it has . achieved in one way or another. "Frustration remains and increases. 'Frustration leads to disillusionment and once this has set in, intentions appear within the movement which are no longer creative." The report said that "the real distinctions within the Christian camp are no' longer between, say Protestant and Catholic, but rather between conservative and radical ...

The letter said that there were close to 2,000 such adoptions in New Jersey last year. Under New Jersey law, adoptions may be arranged only through approved agencies. Despite the law, 1,958 private adoptions were handled in the courts in 1971. 'f.he letter noted that New Jersey law is designed to protect the child as well as to assist the natural mother and the adoptive parents. It also pointed out that there are no controls over the exchange of money ·in private adoptions. ll"

"As things stand now," the letter said, "the private adoption case does not reach the court until a year after the couple has the child and who is going take the child away at that point."

The synod also urged Protestant nurses to make themselves available for posts at provincial institutions now filled by Catholics.

In a letter to the Scranton diocese, Auxiliary Bishop Henry T. Klonow.ski asked parishioners to contribute to the Em~rgency Flood Relief Fund in a, special collection at Mass July 15 and July 16. This money, 'in addition to funds made available through Red Cross and government relief efforts, will be supplemented, by the National Catholic Disaster Relief Committee within the next few weeks.

erence shown by many members of the Dutch Reformed Church, including ministers, for the "sympathetic" treatment at Catholic institutions to that offerea by other hospitals. Another report expressed concern that the Catholic and Anglican Churches might unite. Catholics would play the leading role in such a coalition; the report said, and thus further endanger Protestantism in South Africa. The daily Pretoria News urged. the Transvaal provincial administration to ignore the request made by the Dutch Reformed synod to dismiss the nurses merely because they are Catholic nuns.. The Dutch Reformed Church has been ,a strong supporter of South Africa's apartheid policy of strict racial segregation and has traditionally viewed Catholicism with suspicion.

SEATTLE NC) - Archbishop Thomas A. onnolly of Seattle has called fo more construction jobs for me bers of minority groups and a ked for an end 'to the violence that marked con· frontations 0 construction sites here.' Archbishop Connolly issued a statement 0 support for the United Cons't uction Workers Association (U WA) and "its efforts to gain entrance of more minorities int the building construction .tra es." The archbishop urged sup ort of the UCWA's "legal attemp s tOl;lchieve a just solution thro gh the courts," according to t e Catholic Northwest Progres, Seattle archdio. cesan weekly. . "We canno condone violence as a solution 0 the problem and ask all parti s to refrain from such," he sai . 'The UCWA efforts, which date to 19~9, erup ed into violence in June when it members tried to close down construction sites here. In five days, several per. sons were in ured in confrontations with co struction workers. The confro tations ended with a court order requiring constru.ction compani s to hire 270 black appren~jce tr inees by Sept. 15. Hirin Program UCWA lea ers, ,suspicious because of the failure of earlier court orders, sked for authority to supervise t e' process of sending black wor ers to constrution sites. They sa d they would camp in front of th federal courthouse here until Ju ge William Lindberg ruled on that request. The associ tion began to protest dlscrimi atory hiring practices" in the onstruction trades in November, 1969. Sevenal persons, includi g Father Michael Holland; and Tyree Scott, a UCWA lead r, were arrested when they tri d to stop construction at the eattle-Tacoma airport. By June, 19 0, Judge Lindberg ruled that fo r unions had not admitted bla s to membership on the same' asis as whites. He ordered a hiri g program for minority group embers. The UCWA went back on the streets in Ju e after the hiring program appa ently broke down. In two years only 85 minority 'workers had'l been hired.' The court had reqbired hiring of 483. The union complained that the economic slump prevented the addition f more blacks.

WASHINGTON (NC) - A bill designed to prevent planned increases in postal rates for magazines and newspapers has been introduced by Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D., Wis.) The bill would freeze the postal rates at their current levels for publications with circulations of 250,000 or less. Those with larger circulations .would face extra charges for each copy above 250,000 but the bill, would require that the rate increase be initiated over five to ten years. Publishers of religious perjpdicals, including the CathUlic press, have protested the huge rate hikes proposed by the postal service. Catholic newspapers and magazines would benefit greatly from the bill since almost all have circulation below 250,000. Senator Nelson sharply criticized the Postal Service for seeking an average 127 p~rcent boost in second-class rates. The increases, he said, could drive many small publications out of business and stifle the fre~ flow of ideas. "That such actions' are occurring in the United States at a .time of great national controversy over the ability of society's institutions to respond to the great issues of war and peace, and to the daily affairs which intrude ever closer on our individual lives, is a national tragedy," he said.

Illinois 'School Aid SPRINGFIELD (NC)-;A package of bills designed to provide $30 million in aid to nonpublic schools was signed by Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie and steps were immediately taken to begin a court test. An unusual first step was taken when state auditor Michael Howlett, a supporter of aid to nonpublic schools, refused to release state funds appropriated under the bills. Howlett said that "the quickest way to find out" if the laws are constitutional is to force supporters of school aid to sue to have the funds released. In signing the bills, Gov. Ogilvie expressed hope for a court ruiing on the constitutionality of 'the bills "at the earliest possible date." ' "Leading experts assure us that they are lawful, and the bills have been specifically tailored to avoid the pitfalls that have killed similar programs in other states," he said. He compared the program to the "huge state scholarship program," through ",!,hich "the state

"There is' absolutely no question of state and religion ~n volved, and there is no claim made that there is some kind of 'excessive entaglement' of church and state," he pointed out.

---Catholic Agency Gets $5 Million For Bangladesh

THE ANCHORThurs., July 13, 1972

NEW YORK (NC)-The U. S. Agency for International Development (AID) has given grants of $10 million, including $5 million to Catholic Relief Service, for relief to Bangladesh. CARE (Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere) will receive $4.7 million and the remainder will be shared by sev- " eral agencies. The announcement was made by Maurice J. Williams, AID deputy administrator and coordinator of U.S. relief assistance for Bangladesh, at a signing ceremony in the Overseas Press Club here. Williams said that under a new policy U.S. cash grants will be given directly to voluntary overseas agencies in support of their ongoing programs. The Bangladesh grant is the first contract agreement under this new policy. Msgr. Andrew P. Landi, assistant executive director of CRS, Harold S.. Miner, president of CARE and David Guyer, executive director of the Community Development Foundation, signed the grant agreements. Williams said that the AID grants represented the largest and most flexible grants and would enable the voluntary relief agencies to assist millions of Bengalis. Including the new grants, Williams said total U.S. government assistance committed to Bangladesh in cash, food, medical supplies and other supplies amounts to about $264 million.

Excavate Ruins Of Theatre CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)-A small Roman theater built about 70 years after Christ. died has been excavated at the papal Summer residence here in the Alban hills outside of Rome. The ancient theater was part of the Summer palace complex built for the Emperor Domitian, who ruled Rome between 81 and 96 A.D. Ruins of the outdoor theater have long been known to authorities at the papal villa. The first remains of the theater came to light during excavations in 1657 during the reign of Pope Alexander VII. It was not until last autumn, however, that a systematic uncovering of the ruins was personally ordered by Pope Paul VI. Prof. Filipo Magi, a consultant for classical art of the pontifical offices for monuments, museums and galleries, said Pope Paul ordered excavations to determine the exact extent of the Roman ruins beneath the present gardens of. the papal villa. A small museum has also been set up to house all the archeological materials uncovered. The theater consists of a horseshoe shaped auditorium with a stage area approximately 110 feet wide. The excavations have uncovered many pieces of carved, decorative marble and decorations of Roman stucco dating back to the Flavian period of art, about 70-96 A.D.

Urges Christians Defend Rome's Moral Beauty VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Christians of Rome must defend the "moral beauty" of the Eternal City, Pope Paul VI told thousands of persons on the special Roman feastday of SS. Peter and PauL The Pope, appearing at his window overlooking St. p'eter's Square at midday June 29, hailed the two saints as the "first fundamental columns" of Christian Rome. The Pope recalled that in the past the hymn "0 Roman Felix" was sung on the feastday. The, city was hailed as "Oh Happy Rome" becaus~ of the blood of the martyrs shed in it, he said. Addressing modern Rome, Pope Paul said: "Rome, if you desire to be blessed, you must be faithful to yourself, to your reli~ gious training, to your Catholic, that is, 'universal, conscience." Yel10w and white papal flags flew from al1 Vatican buildings in the city while the whole country observed a national holiday, which is also a Church holy day. Profaned by Vileness In the past the Pope has indicated his concern with the worldliness and many irreligious aspects of modern-day Rome. In talking to those gathered in St. Peter's Square, most of whom were not. Romans, the Pope urged the citizens to preserve Rome's special Christian character- and to keep it from being "profaned by vileness, which today decadent agnostic ethics unfortunately make possible so easily and widely." In concluding, the' Pope asked: "Who is to defend the moral beauty of Rome?" Answering his own question, he said: "We Romans must, especially we Christians, (must be) the noble shield of defense and the source of authentic civil and religious awareness of her immortal dignity." Following a long tradition, the main entrance of St. Peter's on the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul was decorated with an immense barrel-shaped net made of green leaves in reminder' of St. Peter's being a fisherman. Inside the basilica, the statue of St. Peter was robed in gold-embroidered red vestments recalling his martyrdom. .

Says Renewal Slow In Latin America MEDELLIN (NC)-The bishops of Latin America are planning an all-out effort to make the Mass and the sacraments more releYant to their people. "The trouble has been that the liturgy has been considered merely as a celebration of rituals," said the late Bishop Humberto Lara of Santa Cruz del Quiche in Guatemala. "Many persons did not go beyond producing new books on rituals; others were more concerned about pomp and ceremonials." The bishop said that the "liturgy must be a deep experience in Christian living." His remarks were made in preparation for an Institute on Pastoral Renewal to be held here from mid-July to mid-Augl\st and sponsored by the Latin American Bishops' Council (CELAM). Churchmen in charge of liturgical renewal in . 23 countries will attend.

Xavier' S~ciety for Blind Furnishes Extensive Variety of, Materials Volunteers help put it all together for the Xavier Society for the Blind, the only national Catholic center producing reading and listening material for the visual1y handicapped. "Without them we'd fall apart," said the center's director, Jesuit Father Anthony F. LaBau. "Just imagine the pagence, the courage it must take to tackle a book of say, 600 pages." With a staff of less than a dozen, and a small army of volunteers, the center turns out magazines and books in Braille; large-type publications for the pa~tially sighted; three-dimensional illustrated volumes for the young; and recorded books and articles, on regular tape reels or on convenient light-weight cassettes. Father LaBau, who has been director since 1967, told NC News that the volunteers, who undergo special training courses form the bulwark of the center's operation. He had high praise for their devoted service-in some cases for a quarter of a century -and of the high degree of their skills. Because a volunteer can usual1y emboss about five pages of Braille in an hour, an average book of 800 Braille pages requires 160 hours of work. Total time from transcription to the finished product, including proofreading (60 hours), production, and binding (30 hours), in 10 volumes, adds up to 270 hours or almost seven normal work weeks, for a Braille copy of one book. The Xavier Society for the Blind-founded in 1900 by Jesuit Father Joseph M. Stadelman in the rectory of St. Francis Xavier's in New York City-receives no financial assistance from any government or Church agency. It depends exclusively 'on voluntary contributions from private sources. The center's facilities for services to the blind are up to date. The equipment includes a Braille copier capable of dupli-

Hope to Improve Media Morals LITTLE ROCK (NC)-An effort to upgrade the moral and ethical quality of the communications media will be launched with a day-long program here August 5. The Catholic Communications Society of Arkansas will sponsor a symposium featuring G. Duncan Bauman, publisher of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The CCSA is composed of Arkansas Catholics employed in communications work - ' newspaper and mag;l.zine journalism, television and broadcasting, advertising, public relations, writing and printing. Andrew P. Murray of Wynne, CCSA president, said the society was founded in the belief that any shortcomings afflicting the communications media actual1y are reflections of shortcomings afflicting individuals employed in these fields. The CCSA will seek to sharpen the professional consciences of its members and thereby contribute ultimately to improvement of the general media, he said.'

FIRST FIEDERAL SAVIN·GS

Becoming Aware of Change Is Challenge to Christians The Bishops in their Synodal document, "Justice in the World," finally sum up the condition of mankind today as a "tremendous paradox." And the root of this paradox lies in the fact that we are caught between our past certainties and the new forces welling, up under the "the small delicate biosphere the whole complex of all life surface of a world we have of on earth," a biosphere which is largely taken for granted. "not infinite but on the contrary must be saved and preserved as a unique patrimony belonging to all mankind."

Plan New Town For Migrants In f'lorida MIAMI (NC)-The Agricultural Cooperative of South Florida (ACFS) is developing a "Rural New Town" for permanently eliminating poverty among "a substantial number of agricultural workers." The community, which will be built just outside West Palm Beach, is designed to "stabilize the life of the migrant worker," according to J:J.mes Stephens, director of the cooperative. The Miami archdiocese has donated both the planning funds and land for the development of the 250-acre tract.

150 residents, in town houses, garden apartments and single homes. Eventually 2,800 people will live in the town. An important aspect of Rural New Town, said Stephens, is that "the people have a choice to select their Q',vn destiny. They have a large voice in planning their community and selecting their government." He said the town plans to serve agricultural families that have followed the migratory stream but are now trying to settle in Palm Beach County.

need either job training aid or subsidized housing assistance," Stephens said He added that 150 other families would be made up of "non-assisted families." While jobs are "crucial to the success of New Town, permanent relief from poverty-requires more than a job." he said. The town will provide a positive social, cultural and physical environment backed by supportive services to compensate for damaging deprivation. "If the migrant is to make the transition to stable emp,loyment in non-agricultural work, he and his family will need these services to help him overcome the personal, social and institutional barriers to employment."

forth some effort "to make something happen" in their marriage. From time to· time they must re-live the wedding and re'invent their marriage. Some of the earmarks of this "new start" include the following: a) Both partners clearly recognize that they are functioning at a low level of their potential, and they see their marriage as an evolving relationship. Love and understanding are the dynamic elements that call forth new energies and awaken some old qualities in each partner.,', b) Husband and wife renew theirconimitment and make some new plans to realize their marriage potential, and to re~ discover the spiritual dimensions of their union. c) Both partners recognize that their home atmosphere as well as the larger wotld of social institutions and structures in which they live greatly affect their personal growth. Corre, spondingly, their ability to grow as persons and as marital partners affects the social structures of which they are a part. d) With a quality of "newness" in their marriage, a couple can now take on new challenges and new exper;ences to strengthen their unity and deepen their enjoyment of marriage andfamily life. Dr. Otto maintains that "the - challenge of marriage is the adventure of uncovering the depth of our lives, the height 9f our humanity." He is convinced that monogamy has not failed, and perhaps has not been adequately tried.

Paul Horgan's 'Stravinsky' Is, Portrait of Greatness

First Communion

Igor Stravinsky, that giant of twentieth century music, was a consummate man of the world. Yet he wrote a number of compositions on religious themes, including a Mass. How account for this? The answer is given, in part lt least, by Paul Horgan in his new book, Encounters gone well, Stravinsky was deand miserable. On one With Stravinsky (Farrar, jected occasion he sadly said to Mr. Straus and Giroux, 19 Union Horgan, "It is never good Square, West, New York, N. Y. 10003. $7.95).

RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S.

KENNEDY m_j,Witt~Bltl;t~

Mr. Horgan was a boy in military school when he first heard of Stravinsky, some time in the second decade of this century. He immediately became intercsted, although he was not to know any of Stravinsky's music until the 1920s, when, for awhile, he was attending the Eastman School of Music. Mr. Horgan had his first- sight of Stravinsky in person in 1954, when the maestro conducted a performance of his ballet Petru.shka in Chicago. Three years later Stravinsky and his wife Vera came to Santa Fe, where Mr. Horgan lived for a part of each year, and the first meeting took place. It led to a friendship which continued until Stravinsky's death in 1971 at the age of 89. Most of the book is an account of that friendship. But the opening section is quite as fascinating, for it sketches Mr. Horgan's early life and early addiction to the arts. As a boy, he felt that he might make a career in one of several arts, the only problem being which one to choose. Creative Process How the decision was formulated,as much for him as by him, 'is honestly and delightfully described. Music was not to be his career, but it was to be a major element in his life. There were innumerable conversations with Stravinsky, and many opport~nities to observe the man and the artist. In addition, Mr. Horg'ln has read everything by Stravinsky and, it seems, practically everything ever written about him. The author can tell us, for example, of the r.reative process as Stravinsky experienced it. "I can wait as an insect can wait. .. First ideas are very important; they come from God. . . Something comes into my ear and I write 'it down... I had only my ear to help me. I heard and I wrote what I heard." Asked how he felt when he began a new work, he replied with a question, "Are you happy to be awakened?" Range of Interests He worked hard daily. And he worked relentlessly in the rehearsing and performance of his compositions. "Performance is always torture for me." he said. Mr. Horgan saw for himself that even when. a performance had \

enough!" Stravinsky's whole life was steeped in music. But he had an almost incredibly wide range of interests, read constantly and catholically, and was avid of information. On a cruise along the Houston waterfront, he spoke knowledgeably of "the shipping industry's relation to the balance of trade, the economic implications of an 'inland harbor rising to the status of the nation's third greatest seaport, the optimum in tonnage likely to be adopted as the most profitable in seagoing cargo vessels, the relative dangers of an oil cargo which might ignite, a metal cargo which might shift, and a grain cargo which might expand and burst bulkheads if not hulls." Reverence in Church He was highly sophisticated, as his table talk demonstrated. But there was a simplicity about him, too. During the opera sea~ son in Santa Fe, Mr. Horgan discovered that one of Stravinsky's favorite diversions "was to wander up and down the aisles of the Woolworth store on the - plaza." While in Santa Fe, the great artist became associated with the Catholic cathedral (this through the performance there of some of his sacred music over a period of several years). Although Russian Or.thodox, Stravinsky always showed great reverence in the cathedral, genuflecting and blessing himself. "It was sanctified and represented much tl-tat was meaningful to Stravinsky." He was inte!'ested in the Catholic Church. Once he told Mr. Horgan, "I have many timp.s thought about it-why I have \ never become a Roman CatholJc ... the Latin, and the apostolic history of the papacy many times I have thought of these things." Friend of Pope John We learn here something of Stravinsky's friendship with Pope John. Evidently, as was the case with the sculptor Manzu, Pope John manifested an acute sympathy with Stravinsky. He sent for the composer when the latter was visiting Rome, sat down informally with him, and talked with him for an hour. "Maestro, please: do me a favor," said the Pope, "When you are in Rome next time, call me up!" Pope John, just before he died, conferred on Stravinsky a papal knighthood of St. Sylvester, with the rank of commander. The last music which Stravinsky conducted in Santa Fe was his Mass, dedicated to the memory of Pope John. . In the closing years of Stravinsky's long life, Mr. Horgan saw less of him, mainly because only infrequently were they in the same city at the same time. But there are glimpses of the maestro as a complication of illnesses wore him out. Stravinsky 'is obviously a hero

Black .Catholics Start Campaign For Funds WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Office for Black Catholics (NOBC) ha;; launched its first fund raising program, called "Black Catholics Concerned." The campaign, headed by Auxiliary Bishop Harold J. Perry of New Orleans, will concentrate its fund raising efforts· in parishes with a large black membership. Brother Joseph Davis, director of NOBC, said that diocesan chairmen have been appointed in dioceses with more than 2,500 black Catholics. These diocese chairmen will encourage participation in the program by circulating information explaining "Black Catholics Concerned" and distributing NOBC donation envelopes. "We are appealing to the pastors of every parish in the country where there are black Catholics to urge their people to participate in the program which will take place on October 8," explained Bishop Perry. "We know that this is a rear challenge, particularly since many of these parishes are facing financial problems and also the many demands being made for people's charity. However, we feel that the black Catholic community will rise to the challenge of 'Black Catholics Concerned' if given the opportunity." Six Programs Brother Davis said that the donations, expected to total $250,000, will be used to finance six NOBC programs. The programs aim at recruiting more black ·priests and Religious, developing black lay leadership and bringing more of the Afro-American culture into worship, he said. In the area of religious education, he added, NOBC seeks to establish a training center specifically for black candidates for 'the ministry and a continuing education program for black priests, Sisters and Brothers. NOBC also hopes to continue and enlarge workshops to make non-blacks working in black Catholic communities more responsive to the new mood, orientation and objectives of blacks. -According to Brother Davis, these white clergymen should also be taught to prepare blacks to take over as leaders in the Ohurch.

Court Delays Ruli"g On Abortion Laws WASHINGTON (NC)-The Supreme Court has postponed a decision on challenges to antiabortion laws in Texas and Georgia until next fall or winter. While the court gave no reason for ordering a rehearing of the cases, observers noted that the original arguments were heard last November before Justices Lewis Powell and William Rehnquist had been seated on the court. The court apparently wanted the cases argued before all 'nine justices. Msgr. James McHugh, 'director of the Family Life Division of the U. S. Catholic Conference, called the court action "a step forward" and an indication that the justices realize that the abortion issue is serious enough to require a hearing by the full court.

Strong Support for Mining ~f Haiphon.g FORT WORTH (NC)-A poll by the National Catholic Register showed that nearly 90 per cent of those surveyed supported the mining of the North Vietnamese port of Haiphong. The survey showed that slightly more than 90 per cent of the 304 lay persons responding favored the mining. Just over 84 per cent of the 277 priests also favored the mining. Father Daniel Lyons, a Register columnist, said that 1,000 lay subscribers and 1,000 priest subscribers were surveyed after their names had been picked at random.. The poll and others he has conducted "n'wke it impossible to pretend that pacifism or peace-at-any-price is anywhere near the mainstream of Catholic thi~king, for priests or laity," the Jesuit wrote in his Register column. He cited a survey he ·conducted in 1967 in which 85 per cent of the 6,974 priests polled favored mining the Haiphong harbor and 88 per cent wanted the United States to "adopt a firm policy of winning the war in Vietnam."

Father Lyons also said that in 1966 he spoke to President Nixon, then a private citizen on

In the meeting in Japan, Father Lyons said he and Nixon discussed the mining of Haiphong but the priest did not disclose any details of the three-hour conversation. Speaking of the mining, Father Lyons said, "That it has finally been done is very encouraging to those of us who have been wanting it done for so long. It could have been done sooner but indecision on the part of the White House, and pressure from the Left, led to the delay."

PHOENIX (~C)-Arizona lettuce growers were told to avoid the mistakes df California grape growers in their dispute with the United Farm Workers Union.
