New primate quiet, strong VATIC~ CITY (NC) Pope John Paul II has named Bishop Jozef Glemp, a former aide to the :late Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, to succeed the cardinal as arch~ bishop of Warsaw and Gniezno and primate of Poland.

When the appointment was made July 7, Archbishop-desig, nate Glemp, 52, headed the Diocese of Olsztyn, which has about 1.3 million Catholics. He was .appointed to the Polish episcopacy two years ago and is vir.tually unknown outside his own country.

He was considered a dark hQrse among possibilities to succeed Cardinal Wyszynski, said Father Robert S. Kaszynski, pas. tor of St. Stanislaus Church, Fall "River. He said he knew the new primate "very slightly, only through his connection with the late cardinal."

Father Kaszynski and his as"sociate, Father Antoni Bury, S.

Chr., who has just returned from a visit to his native Poland, agreed that Archbishop-designate Glemp, althought a quiet man, is strong and can be expected to be an administrator in the mold of Cardinal Wyszynski.

It is not known whether his name was on a list of three recommended to the pope by the Polish bishops' conference as possible successors to the cardinal, who died May 28 at age 79.

Father Kaszynski said the new primate was in the United States in May to attend the installation of Polish-American Archbishop Edmund Szoka as successor to Cardinal JQhn Dearden in the heavily Polish Detroit archdiocese.

As head of Poland's primatial See, Gniezno, and the Warsaw Archdiocese, he will have direct pastoral responsibility for more than 4 million Catholics in the

two diQceses and indirect responsibility for all of Poland's estimated 32 million Catholics.

He is also expected to be elected: ,to the presidency of the Polish Bishops' Conference.

A native of Inowroclaw, ArchbiShop-designate Glemp studied philosophy and theology at the Gniezno archdiocesan major seminary and was ordained to the priesthood on May 25, 1956.

After Qrdination, he studied canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. " Archbishop-designate Glemp held various posts in the Gniezno archdiocesan offices and was a consultant to Cardinal Wysznski until his aPP<>intment as bishop of Warmia by Pope John Paul . on ~arch 6, 1979.

He was consecrated a bishop on April 21, 1979.

In addition to Polish, the new primate speaks Italia'n, French, English and German.

How the Vatican wor}{.s BISHOP-ELECT DELANEY

-Fall River native Fort Worth bishop Pope John Paul II has named Father Joseph P. Delaney, 46, a native of Sacred Heart parish, Fall River, the second bishop of the clIiocese of Fort Worth, Texas.

Archbishop Pio Laghi, apostolic delegate in the United States, announced the appointment Tuesday in Washington.

The bishop-elect bas spent more than half his priestly career in Texas, goin~: to the diocese of Brownsville in 1967, at tbe request of Cardinal Humberto Medeiros, then the Brownsville ordinary. He was incardinated into the Brownsville diocese in 1971.

Ordained in Rome~ Dec. 18, 1960, for /the Fall River diocese, he was associate pastor at Sacred Heart Church, Taunton, a religion tleacher at· the .former Coyle High School, also in Taunton, and diocesan assistant superintendent of schools before transferring to Brownsville.

Bishop Cronin telpehoned the parents of the new bishop, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Delaney, of Holy Name Parish, Fall River, to convey in a personal manner his delight and good wishes.

In Brownsville Bishop-elect Delaney was an associate pastor and pastor, diocesan school supenntendent, eochancellor and chief judge of the marriage tribunal before being named to his present position as diocesan chancellor.

There Bishop John J. Fitzpatrick said the appointment was "a blow to us but great for the universal church as well as Fort Worthe" His chancellor, he said, ''loves people" and possesses "every characteristic and quality a bishop ought to have. It was a really wise appointtment."

Bishop Fitzpatrick said that Bishop-elect Delaney will be ordained and installed at one ceremony, to take place during the first two weeks in September. "It will be either at the Fort Worth cathedral or in some larger place where more people can be accommodated," he said.

The Brownsville bishop said that the name of the ordaining prelate had not yet been announced, but that details of the September ceremony would be released- in the near future.

In Fall River Mr. and Mrs. Delaney were ecstatc at their son's appointment. "I thank God for his blessings," said Mrs. Delaney.

She and her husband leave Monday for three weeks in Ireland where they will share their excitement with John Burke, Mrs. Delaney's brother and until his retirement some years ago a longtime employe of the Fall River diocese. He was among family members closest to the bishop-elect in his growing-up years.

St. Teresa of Avila is recalled AVILA, Spain '(NC) - Spaniards are resurrecting the thoughts and spirit of St. Teresa of Avila, Carmelite reformer and mystic, as the country nears the 400th anniversary of her death.

The commemoration of St. Teresa "must prompt us to blow the dust off our faith and share her eJ(perience of God," wrote Cardinal Vicente Enrique Tarancon of Madreid, in charge of the commemorative celebrations to begin in October. _ Archb~hop Elias Yanes of Zaragoza said that "we still hold very much alive the work and life of St. Teresa."

The archbishop mentioned her writings, the Carmelites convents which continue in her "spiritual style, and the documents about her daily deeds and spiritual eJ(periences.

The clergymen wrote for the Teresa of Avila Bulletin which publishes comments on the saint's relevance to present day society.

Her commemoration will last a full year, ending on the anniversary of her death. St. Teresa died October 4, 1582, at Alba de Tormes near Salamanca, after "reforming the Carmelites by tightening their rules of simplicity and poverty.

"We stress her spirit of poverty and her desire to share the food from her table," said the bulletin in outlining the program.

"There is in this consumer society of ours a great spiritual thirst; the centennial seeks to help the people, so dominated by technology, to awaken to the religious and contemplative dim¡

ension of their own hearts."

Carmelites all over the world, including the United States, are joining in the celebrations. Reports from Italy and France mention study weeks and seminars on St. Teresa, competitions and awards, media programs

based on her life, and research and books about her. All honor this 16th century woman who wrote books, poems and more than 500 letters on spiritual eJ(periences and had close friendships with about 1,000 church and secular leaders.

Pope urges imitation of St. Oliver Plunkett VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has urged Catholics in Ireland to imitate the eJ(ample of a 17-century martyr, St. Oliver Plunkett, by working toward reconciliation and healing the wounds of division.

In a letter to Cardinal Timothy Manning of Los Angeles, his representative at a celebration marking the 300th anniversary of the Irish saint's martyrdom, the pope spoke of his "earnest desire" that the Catholics of Ireland ~'follow the enmple of the arden St. Oliver, who . . . was deterred by nothing (in working to heal) the wounds if discord and dissension."

The pope's letter came when the Irish Justice and Peace Commission, an agency of the Irish Bishops' Conference, was mediating between the British government and hunger strikers in a Northern Ireland prison who demand political prisoner status.

The bishops' conference includes bishops of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The pontiff said that he was

praying that the celebration of the saint's anniversary would provide "a new opportunity" for renewal in the Irish church, noting that the current circumstances demand "a strength of faith and the habit of daily piety and prayer."

The celebration took place at Drogheda, Ireland, in the Archdiocese of Armagh, which currently includes part of Ireland and part of Northern Ireland. St. Oliver was bishop of Armagh for 12 years until his martyrdom at Tyburn in London in 1681. He was eJ(ecuted after conviction on charges of subversion at a time when English rule in Ireland was harsh against Catholics.

During his term as bishop St. Oliver became known for his efforts to reconcile contending groups within the church and for seeking to bring calm and order to the bitter animosities between Irish factions and the English government.

Caroinal Manning had met with Pope John Paul in the pope's hospital room June 27.

Pm sure he will come to the installation," said "Mrs. Qelaneyâ&#x20AC;˘.

Bishop-e1eet Delaney has three brothers, all psychologists, and a sister who is a public school administrator in Jackson, Wyo! He graduated from the former Sacred Heart grammar school in Fall River in 1948 and from Coyle High School in 1952, -then entering Cardinal O'Connell Seminary in Boston.

He continued his studies at Theological College, Washington, D.C. and the North American College in Ro~e. He holds a master's degree from the Catholic University of America, a licentiate in theology from the Gregorian University in Rome and a master's degree in-education from Rhode Island College.

Bishop-elettt Delaney has been active in both the Texas Catholic Conference and the Texas Conference of Chu(Ches.

He is a membeJ: of the board of the National Pastoral Planning Conference.

He is mOVing from a small (4,266 sq. mi.) diocese at the southernmoet tip of Texas where Catholics are a greater percentage of the total population than in any other diocese in the state to a diocese nearly six times as large in northeastern Texas, where Catholics form only a small proportion of the general population.

He wll be the second bishop of Fort Worth, succeeding Bishop John J. Cassata, who retired from the see last September and is" presently its apostolic administrator.

Fort Worth was erected in 1969 from territory formerly part of the Dallas diocese. It has an area of 23,950 square miles and a population of 91,500 Catholics, six percent of the total population of 1.56 million people.

the living word

A Matter of Fidelity In its document on social communications, Vatican II developed in detail the role of the Catholic press, clearly outlining the duties of those who, in the name of the church, present the Catholic point of view.

The Catholic press, the document states, can be marvelously effective both in bringing knowledge of the church to the world and the converse. In doing this, the press must recall the council statement to the effect that "when the events of the day raise questions that touch fundamental Christian principles, the Catholic press will try to interpret these in accordance with the teaching magisterium of the church."

Let it be made clear that council directives路 are more than a collection of pious platitudes. Catholics in union with the see of Peter cannot approach documents that have been voted upon by the college of bishops and approved by the Holy Father with an a la carte mentality. They reflect the official "handing on" of the Word for our day and time.

In recent weeks the council mind concerning the Catholic press has been applied as a guideline in a letter to United States bishops from the Pope's personal representative in Washington, the Apostolic Delegate.

In this letter the bishops were cautioned about recent complaints forwarded to the Holy See concerning certain articles and syndicated columns in American diocesan papers that lack respect for the magisterium and criticize and attack the person of the Holy Father.

Reaction from some areas of the American Catholic press was predictable. Of course the loudest lamentation emanated from our dear old friend, angry Andrew. In a repeat of many past performances, Father Greeley took the letter as a personal affront.

Well-known for his sensitivity to criticism ana his very thin skin, he immediately fell back on the platitudes of liberty and freedom of the press.

Instead Father Greeley should read some of the columns on the Holy See he has offered his readers. There can be little doubt from his own writing that he has made scant effort to support the work of the present pope.

Busy as he is with his popularity as a secular novelist, perhaps it has not occurred to him that the vast majority of Catholics deplore distorted commentaries on the Holy Father and his words, especially when they come from one supposedly his coworker in the vineyard.

If Father Greeley thinks that the directives of the Holy See were aimed at him, he should also realize that his own pen proves that it was time he was made aware that papal infallibility is not a shared responsibility.

To be sure, at one time Father Greeley was a refreshing spirit in the world of the Catholic press. But as with a worn out record, his original music has become distorted and unrecognizable. His inability to accept any form of criticism and his invectives at those who even dare mention that he has an Achilles heelliead one to question his sincerity of intent路 and purpose. .

The Catholic press has an inherent obligation to uphold freedom and truth. It must never路 be afraid to report just criticism and unbiased evaluations.

However, it should be made quite clear, and this episode provides an opportunity to do so, that the Catholic press must always be Catholic, with a big C, when it comes to upholding the dignity and person of the Holy Father.

It is a matter of fidelity.

DESPITE EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE, PERUVIAN CHURCH DOOR REMAINS OPEN

'Behold, I have set before thee an open door which no man can shut.' Apoc. 3:8

Glimpses of eternity

By Father Kevin J. Harrington There is little doubt that we live in a skeptical age. Science has provided us with so many answers to life's riddles that many people have found religious questions irrelevant. Nevertheless, one question that perpetually gnaws away at our speculative minds is that of the nature or' an after-life.

After a recent funeral, a woman told me of a discussion she had with a group of friends who claimed to be Christian. They said they believed that Jesus was the Son of God and that he rose from the dead but they did not believe in the resurrection of ordinary persons. Life after death for everyone seem to involve such a leap of faith for them that they dealt with it as mere speculation and dismissed it without further ado.

their glimpses of eternity. If it is the nature of man to speculate, the stories of Lazarus and of the many canonized saints who have experienced "mystical death" should provide a wealth of material for the men and women who find this field fascinatin. Our desire to speCUlate on these matters is made obvious by the popularity of books about modern Lazaruses and movies such as "Coma."

Who can forget the story of Lazarus returned to life after four days in the tomb? We know so little about this tantalizing figure we are apt to imagine him bored, restless and discontented with whatever life could offer after such an experience. And mystical death is another matter worth pursuing.

Such discussions usually occur among so-called broadminded people. It is precisely this attitude, held by many Roman Catholics and mainline Protestants, that has created the vacuum now being filled by the evangelicals. Unfortunately, some evangelical Protestants are acting in the tradition of Jonah in prophesying doom for those they judge to be sinners. The effect of these groups upon our religionstarved youth is nothing less than astounding.

Such "deaths" are not self-induced, nor do they lead to abandonment of temporal responsibilities. They cannot be written off as mere psychological states although they are difficult to authenticate.

They have been experienced by such contemplatives as St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, who enjoyed such a degree of ecstasy that they literally forgot everything but the Eternal, yet returned to the world without being at all as we suspect Laarus might have been - completely at odds with his humdrum environment.

Perhaps there has been too little emphasis placed upon the lives of the saints in relation to

My favorite account of a mystical death of a saint involves St. Catherine of Siena. She had a

heart fired with love and often meditated upon the Lord's passion. After experiencing a mystical death, she became so unhappy that she asked the Lord to grace her with a return to ecstasy.

But he told her in prayer that her ego needed rebuke and that she could far better serve him by sharing with him in the saving of souls. By putting on the mind of Christ she became one of the greatest doctors of the church, advising princes and popes, thus fulfilling the divine mandate.

F amiily morality "Dear Dolores ICurran, I am writing in r1egard to. some things I haVE! read recently on humanisl11. The infonnation fired me up and I beCaDli! eoneemed about what my children are being eXl>OSed to in their school. In a Dearby area parents are fighting values clarification and the showing of an objectionable film. These people are being labeled as the Moral Majority but I share their viewpoint and I don't think it's because I am a fanatic. Am loverreacting to what I read or do you think there should be some real concern?"

Dear Judy: Thank you for your cogent letter. I think many share your dilemma. How serious is the value-laden cur:ricula our children are being taught?

All I can do is give my personal perspective. I feel the Moral Majority people are dangerous. They grasp on a normal fear and blow it out of proportion. They are often contradictory, i.e., they decry v,alues clari路 fication in one breath and ask for less atheistic, m.ore moral education in the next.

I, too, share your feeling on some of these fears, especially

the influence of television and some of the images our children are receiving. I opt for more censorship there - but it is going to be my censorship, not theirs. I am not going to be made to feel that I have to agree with all their positions on war, censorship, family, and women just because they call themselves the Moral Majority.

I believe many of us are moral and I believe we are in the majority, but I don't believe in the Moral Majority. Why not?

Because they operate out of fear and despair, and we, as Christians, operate on hope and the Resurrection. We are people of hope, not desPair. We look for the good in people, not the evil that the MM pronounces upon those who disagree with their stands politically, educationally, socially or religiously.

I don't mean to sermonize, but I get angry when a group like the MM destroys parental confidence and faith. Use your good parental sense. If you're modeling good morals and faith at home, if your children are learning values from you, you don't have to be a watchdog over -every book, class, teacher, film,

activity, or idea which your children experience. Like you, they will learn to weigh and choose their values. The best way for them to learn to do this is by exposing them to a variety of ideas and values while they are living with you, so that they can come home and discuss them with you.

Far more dangerous iE controlling everything they do, read, and study for 18 years and then letting them out into an uncontrolled society without any experience in choosing and discarding values. The MM would have us do that. They would censor everything with which they disagree, even down to some very good literature.

Good luck. Don't worry and don't think you are overreacting.

We all think that at times. I(s better than apathy.

Pro-life: ye's, no?

Though the nomination tioned Reagan's selection to of Sandra Day O'Connor to jump back on the bandwagon.

But concern surfaced again in be the first woman on the early fall when a Reagan politiSupreme Court sent a tidal cal coordinator discussing abor-

wave of disappointmEmt through the pro-life movement, President Reagan himself indi.cated last year that someone like Mrs. 0' Connor might be his choice for the high court.

Reagan throughout his campaign for president voiced strong support for the Republican platform's call for the appointment of judges who respect "the sanctity of innocent humEln life."

And as far as pro-lifers were concerned, the high point of the campaign came when Reagan said in the Sept. 21 debate with independent candidat.~ John Anderson that didn't think it was a bad idea at all that judges have respect for human Hfe. Anderson, like others, had said ideology on issues such liS abortion or "the family" should play no part in the nomination of judges.

Reagan and his aides, however, added several times that there would be no "loyalty oath" on abortion and thElt abortion would not be a "litmus test" on which the qualifications ofa judge would stand or fall.

Though Reagan's candidacy was quickly embraced by many pro-life groups, there was lingering concern among others about his commitment to the cause.

That concern became even more pronounced when Rellgan selected George Bush, who had compaigned against a human life amendment as his running mate.

Bush later said he supported Reagan's platform in full, leading groups which initially ques-

tion told a women's group that Reagan "would not require anyone to take any other oath or vows than the one under the Constitution."

Reagan in the meantime continued to speak out on abortion and stress his support for a human life amendment to the Constitution. But he also denied several times that the plank in the platform about the appointment of judges constitutes an antiabortion "litmus test."

"Abortion is obviously a vital issue, but I will not promulgate in advance a 'litmus test' for judicial appointments," Reagan told the National Catholic News Service in' a written interview shortly before the election.

In announcing Mrs. O'Connor's appointment, Reagan lingered long enough in the White House press room to respond that he was "completely satisfied" with the Arizona judge's right-to-life views. And White House officials .later told reporters that their review of Mrs. O'Connor's record showed that pro-life opposition to the nomination was ill路 founded.

However, Dr. Carolyn Gerster, former National Right to Life Committee president who like Mrs. O'Connor lives in Arizona, contended it was "common knowledge" in the state that the nominee was "philosophically against us."

But Sister of St. Joseph Clare Dunn," a current member of the Arizona legislature, said that

JIM LACKEY

attacks on Mrs. O'Connor "miffed~' legislators considered prolife.

For her part, Mrs. O'Connor declined to discuss her views on abortion, leaving clarification of those questions to her confirmation hearings in the Senate later this year.

The O'Connor nomination thus sets up another major test of pro-life strength in the Senate, which has been perceived as strongly anti-abortion ever since the Republicans became the majority earlier this year. At least one pro-life group, the Life Amendment Political Action Committee, whose "hit lists" have been said to contribute to the downfall of several senators, is promising political retaliation should Mrs. O'Connor make it through the confirmation process.

But the uproar could be muted

by Mrs. O'Connor herself when she explains her views on abortion. Like Bush, she may convince people that her personal opposition to abortion passes the test of the Republican platform's call for judges who respect human life.

The Democrats tried everything they knew to save it. They appealed to the Republicans' sense of justice, to their sense of pride in the House, to their idea of compassion. But the Republicans, and their Democratic cohorts, the boll weevils, were feeling neither fair nor compassionate nor House-proud.

The faithful Democrats railed, with reason, that Ronald Reagan's ultimatum was a digracefully sloppy document with millions scratched out and millions scratched in and a telephone number scrawled in a corner. It would never have been accepted as a freshman term paper.

Rep. Barber Conable, R~.Y., a serious man with some feeling for the institution, conceded that it was a poor show, which must never be repeated. But, he said, "the issue is, are we going to cut the budget or are we going to back out?"

Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, observed forlornly, "I don't think there is any possibility of changing minds on the other side of the chamber."

He was absolutely right. Th~ Republicans had organized the Reagan revolution with great skill. They held their own and kept the boll weevils in line.

The more progressive "gypsy moths," a late-blooming coalition of New Englanders and Midwesterners, had wrested enough concessions from David Stockman that Democrats pointed out in vain that the GrammLatta substitute contained more money than the Democratic "compromise."

They were repealing the New Deal on the double under orders from the cowboy in the White House.

The Democratic leadership hastily circulated a sheaf of pink papers which detailed the extent of the butchery. The headings: I. Provisions Repealed in Gramm-Latta; II. Increased Discretion to Executive Branch; III. "I Bet You Didn't Know," They did know, of course, that they were denying 1.3 million students college loans in the next three years; that they were cutting 3 million sc}lool children out of the school lunch program; that they were desecrating the temple of Social Security.

But nothing availed. The Reagan tactic was all-or-nothing, a brilliantly shrewd appeal to political cowardice. He insisted they vote up or down on GrammLatta. Members understood they

might appear craven and spineless with the presidential foot on their necks, but better that, they plainly reasoned, than being required to stand up and say they were voting a subsidy for the well-off - $230 million for the Clinch River breeder reactor and $3.6 billion for the slushfund for corporations, the Export-Import Bank, while bidding hungry children and the elderly indigent to pull up their socks.

As Rep. Jack Edwards, R-Ala., said, "We have turned the corner. It is going to hurt, and yet we know that it has got to be done. I don't come here to condemn anyone. What we are really seeing is the last gasp of the liberals," Speaker Tip O'Neill's lumpy, bleak face confirmed it. He sat in the sixth row, sometimes with some grieving confederates, sometimes alone. He was in process of becoming leader in name only.

Things can only get worse for him, he realizes. Reagan, advertised as a go-easy, laid-back president, is showing as much muscle as Lyndon Johnson. Not for him the pious disapproval of a Jimmy Carter in his hopeless dealings with the congressional beast. Reagan has thrown a rope around the critter and wrassled it to the ground.

Like other Democrats, O'Neill was fleetingly hopeful at the news that Reagan had dropped nine points in the polls. He had seen the president's last limp press conference,' in which he revealed the great gaps in his knowledge of foreign affairs. In the House, however, Reagan was Alexander the Great, conqueror of the known world. The debate was often raucous - Rep. Pauf Simon, D-Ill., said the action was in the best tradition of a state legislature - but it was not rancorous. No one dared accuse the president of heartlessness or highhandedness.

The members were not interested in the words, only the music. They were like the voters of France, who gave Francois Mitterand a commanding Socialist majority in the parliament, not necessarily because they believe in socialism but because they want to give a new leader a good crack at something new.

But if the House knows why it did what it did, it is not sure what it did. In many offices, people are not sure, for instance, if Legal Services is dead or alive, if the Low-Income Weatherization program survived or was killed. They will presumably know more later.

All they knew during the stormy afternoon when the USS Liberalism was going down was that they had to win one for the Gipper.

THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS assembles in the Pauline Chapel before entering the Sistine Chapel to elect Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Humberto Medeiros is at right.

How the Vatican worlis Continued from page one international organizations and meetings and to national bishops' conferences. As official publisher of the Acts of the Holy See, it is the chief agency in charge of papal correspondence and documents.

The Council for the Public Affairs of the Church, once called the First Section of the Secretariat of State, has been a

separate entity since 1967 but is stilI closely linked to the secretariat. It is in charge of diplo~ matic and special dealings with civil governments and shares with the secretariat the charge of papal representatives and of Holy See correspondence and documents.

Thus these two closely linked agencies - the Secretariat of State and the Council for the

Public Affairs of the Church form the most powerful part of the Roman Curia, linking the pope with the rest of the Curia, with the bishops and with civil governments and if}ternational organizations.

Under the streamlining of the Curia by Pope Paul VI in 1967, virtually all church business came through the Secretariat of State before it reached the pope.

Pope still • fights VIrus ROME (NC) Pope John Paul II's viral infection "cannot yet be considered to have run its full course," the nine-man medical team attending the pope said July 11. They said that the pope's illness "is characterized by progressive increase in the count of the specific antibodies for cytomegalovirus."

Dr. Emilio Tresalti said the 61-year-old pope was keeping to a "fairly intensive" work sched-

ule.

He refused to estimate when Pope John Paul would be released from the hospital or when he would undergo an operation to reverse a temporary colostomy performed May 13 after the attempt on his life.

PIUUP WATrs lubricates historic steeple clock of David Ames Clock Farm on Stonehill College campus.

The physician said that the type of operation needed by Pope John Paul is usually performed "one to three months after the colostomy, but could be four to seven months afterward without affecting the peristaltic movement of the intestines." He would not comment on reports that the pope has lost 5.5 pounds during his illness.

Clock cllimes at Stonehill

By Barbara Waldron The century-old stlleple clock of David Ames Clock Farm in North Easton is once more chiming. Originally the home of the first herd of Guernsey' cows in the United States, the farm is now part of the camp\l.8 of Stonehill College, housing its buildings and grounds department.

The farm takes its name from its antique clock, dElscribed as "the most maintlmance-free timepiece in the world" by its caretaker, Philip Watts, a welder and construction worker at Stonehill.

He said the clock, formerly used to regulate working hours for farm laborers, and made by the E. Howard Comps,ny of Waltham, moves by the Elnergy produced by falling weights. It has three cables and two drums, cast from weights and a (:rank much like that of a Model-T Ford. it is one of Watt's jobs to wind the massive timepi.ece every four days and keep it cleaned and oiled.

back" from agreed upon changes in auxiliary prison rules, Bishop Dermot O'Mahony of Dublin, Ireland, president of the com· mission, said, "We don't regard this as a serious attempt to seek a resolution."

The deaths of McDonnell and Hurson brought to six the number of prisoners who have died since the hunger strike began March 1.

At the time of Hurson's death seven other prisoners were on hunger stirke. Of those, Kieran Doherty, 25, who had been fasting for 52 days, was in the most serious condition.

Confession Dear Editor: Often, a prisoner will become very relaxed when alone with the chaplain, drop his exterior defenses and talk. His relationship with other prisoners, guards, the administration and his family will be shared. Eventually, his own crimes with all the terrible details.

In psychology, we would call this a most therapeutic exp~ri­ ence. As a priest, I would say it is confession which truly frees this man of many burdens guilt, sorrow, anxiety, fears; worry and vengeance. Physically he becomes more relaxed, at ease and a peace settles over him.

Now the chaplain is expected to love, accept, respect him and grant absolution. This demands

the very forgiveness, mercy, and love of Jesus Himself. And what about information confided which the police and prison administered want, especially about crimes committed or illegal activities in the prison?

Parents and many others find themselves in the same predicament. If there is a good trust relationship and openness between parent and teenager, then son or daughter will freely unburden him/herself to the parent. He/ she trusts the parents, believes information will be kept in confidence, knows condemnation is not forthcoming and understanding, patience, acceptance will be bestowed.

People come to us as they came to Jesus. We are expected to be other Christs and carry the weights of others, for they are our brothers/sisters; we are invited to walk in their shoes.

Rev. Joseph P. McDermott Catholic Chaplain Norfolk State Prison

Help thelD get a Priest •••please!

He explained that as its pendulum swings, it permits a serrated wheel to move forward one tooth at a time. The swing regulates the speed at which the clock wheels turn.

Maintenance of the historic clock is far from Watts' only responsibility. At present he is constructing a cost-efficient soil aerator for Stonehill's athletic fields which he predicts will surpass the performance records of models currently on the market.

The device, designed to be attached to a trailer, will be a cylindrical roller with knife-like triangular blades. It will make cuts in the ground to permit moisture to reach tlie grassroots easily, thus softening the playing fields' surface.

A South Easton resident, Watts has been at Stonehill for four years. Another project for which he was responsible was the designing and building of the main college gate, which floats on oil and is therefore rust and squeakptoof.

Since there is no priest in this area ofthe Congo, the catechist gathers the community pn Sundays for prayer an~ meditation on God's word.

Vocations in Mission areas are plentiful- but the cost ofa seminary education, low as it is, is beyond the means ofmany young men aspiring to the priesthood.

Could you help one ofthem ... so that he might bring the fullness ofChrist's message to his people? Please?

Irish bishops rap British BELFAST, iNorthern Ireland (NC) - Within a week after mediation by bisho:ps on the Irish Justice and Peace Commission appeared on the verge of ending the hunger strike !by Northern Irish prisoners, the mediation effort broke down and two more hunger strikers died.

The deaths of Jose,ph McDonnell, 30, on July 8 after 61 days on hunger strike and of Martin Hurson, 27, on July 13 after 45 days on hunger strike provoked attacks on security forces by rioters in Belfast and Londonderry, Northern Ireland's two largest cities.

mixed record

Funeral Home Inc. 283 Station Avenue South Yarmouth, Mass.

By Liz Schevtchuk WASHINGTON(NC) _. It is too early to tell how Arizona Appeals Court Judge Sandra 0' Connor would rule on controversial cases if her appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court were confirmed. Her record as a legislator and judge seems mixed.

In newspaper analyses and comments from her acq,uaintainces, colleagues and supporters Mrs. O'Connor, 51, is described as politically conservative but not far-right; careful and precise in her judicial -rulings; faiir and open-minded; inclined to support state courts' authority and minimal interference by federal courts; and likely to be a socalled conservative on some issues and a moderate or libe'ral on others. She is said to be i.ntelligent and hardworking all well as politically astute. Attorneys in Arizona gave her a 90 percent approval rating.

Her nomination to the Supreme Court by President Reagan, has been blasted bJr prolife groups who criticize what they say is a pro-abortion record as a Republican state senEltor in Arizona, where she was Senate majority leader.

But the Democrat who succeeded her as majority leader has denied that claim.

According to the Nlltional Right to Life Committee, which is opposing the nomination, Mrs. O'Connor voted in 1970 for a bill to legalize abortion in Arizona, in 1973 for a family planning bill which would have provided birth control information to minors without parenbll1 consent, in 1974 against a resolution calling on Congress to enact a human life amendment, ,and in 1974 against a bill forbidding abortions at the University of Arizona.

According to newspaper articles, in 1973 she also voted for a bill allowing doctors and nurses to refuse to perform abortions.

President Reagan said be was satisfied with her abortion views, and a White House spokesman said Mrs. O'Connor is personally opposed to abortion, Mrs. O'Connor herself, in a press conference after her nomination was announced, declined to discuss abortion. "I'm sorry, I can't address myself to substantivEl questions pending the confinnation hearing," she said.

Alfredo Gutierrez, a Democrat who followed Mrs. O'Connor as Arizona Senate majority leader, denied that her record is "proabortion."

"That's absolutely not in the record," he said. "It just isn't there," He said she was "conservative in a conventional way, but she's no ideologue," As a judge Mrs. O'Conrlor apparently did not deal with abortion cases or with others that would have revealed her opinions on issues of school prayer,

busing to achieve racial integration, capital punishment, or various other controversial issues the Supreme Court has had or is likely to address.

In a recent law review article she indicated her preferences for dealing with matters at the state, not federal, court level.

To limit the scope of the 1871 Civil Rights Act (to reduce federal court caseloads and limit spending) she also suggested that successful plaintiffs in federal civil rights cases no longer be allowed reimbursement for the attorney's fees.

However, in a case before her as a judge, she knocked down a law requiring people suing theIr landlords in appeals court (after a justice of the peace allowed eviction) to post a bond of double a year's rent. She said the law was not "non-discriminatorily applied," Once, according to attorneys, she sentenced a man to death for a contract killing, but when additional information on the case was reported to the court she cancelled the verdict and called for a new trial. That appears to be the only time she handed down a death sentence.

Originally a supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment, Mrs. O'Connor later backed away from the ERA and as a state senator supported an alternative measure considered less sweeping. Yet she was known as a woman's rights advocate in her own way and helped repeal an Arizona law that limited women to eight hours of work a day.

An Episcopalian, Mrs. O'Connor grew up on a ranch in Arizona. She graduated from Stanford University and its law school, both times with honors.

She was third in her law school

class (Associate Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist was first.) She married John O'Connor III, another classmate, and the couple settled in Arizona.

They have three sons.

Mrs. O'Connor pnacticed law and then became assistant Arizona attorney general. She was appointed to an opening in the state Senate and then eJected in her own right. She was elected a superior court judge after leaving' the Senate in 1974 and then was named an appeals court judge.

Sixty.Years Father Dieudonne Masse, OFM, a native of Notre Dame parish, Fall River, recently marked his 60th anniversary of ordination with a Mass of thanksgiving at Notre Dame, followed by a reception.

The Franciscan,' 85, is the last survivor of the 21 children of the late Dieudonne and Clara Masse. After graduation from Notre Dame School in 1910 he studi.ed f.nd was ordained in Canada.

During his active priesthood he was a m;s!';Ol:ary to IndianS, a prison chaplain, a parish priest, a college professor and a retreat house administrator.

Over the years he has frequently celebrated Masses at Notre Dame where a brother, the late Father Roland J. Masse, was an associate pastor in the 1950s. Another brother, Father Albert Masse, was also a priest.

In retirement, Father Masse lives at a Franciscan center in Montreal.

A. As you have stated, breastfeeding is best for baby. This is fact, not just our opinion. The American and Canadian associations of pediatricians used to ad· vise physicians to take a neu· tral position and leave the breast or bottle choice up to the mother.

Now they counsel the members to advise mothers that breast milk is nutritionally better for baby and to urge mothers to breast-feed.

What about cultural acceptance? In the past decade or two breast-feeding has come a long way in North America, not only in the number of mothers Who breast-feed but also in general acceptance. La Leche League, an organization to promote "good mothering through breast-feeding," celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Founding mother Marian Tompson, writing in the La Leche League News, recalls how breast-feeding has changed in the past 25 years: "In those days ... nursing in public was unheard of. You didn't even nurse in front of your relatives! It was Mary (Mary White, another founding mother) who showed me how it could be done when she sat next to me while we did a panel on parenting at

a church function and to my great amazement discreetly nursed her new baby. Today, though, we have a reference such as the 1980 edition of The Book of Modern Manners to reassure us that nursing in public is not only acceptable, but that 'those who disapprove should do so silently.'''

Thus breast-feeding is not only nutrionally best but also culturally acceptable. However, as some mot1;lers find out, breastfeeding is not culturally accepable to everyone. Critics of breast-feeding will only be offended, not converted, by obvious breast-feeding in public.

The breast-feeding mother's best recourse, as Marian indicates, is discretion. Breast-feeding can be done so tactfully tha t most outsiders do not even real· ize the baby is nursing.

In La Leche League experienced moms teach new moms this and other good information and skills related to nursing and mothering. Happy 25th anniversary to this wonderful organization!

SEATILE (NC) - Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen of Seattle, who recently called for unilateral disarmament, has clarified his suggestion that Christians refuse to pay 50 percent of their federal income taxes as non-violent resistance to the nuclear arms race.

In an article in the Catholic Northwest Progress, newspaper of the Seattle Archdiocese, Archbishop Hunthausen said that his ,June 12 suggestion of withholding taxes "is a tactic that mayor' may not be used by persons who agree with the main points I made on disarmament. I have no intention of urging it stronglyon anyone."

The archbishop had said following the June 12 speech that 'he had not decided whether or not to refuse to pay war taxes and that he did not plan to make the decision for several months.

He said in his later statement that he was concerned by the idea advanced by some that it is immoral to disobey a law of the state for a good end.

"Let me say frankly that such

a position has no standing in Roman Catholic tradition," the archbishop said. "It is true that as a general rule the laws of the state must be obeyed. However, we may peacefully disobey certain laws under serious con· ditions. There may even be times when disobedience may be an obligation of conscience. Most· adults have lived through times and situations where this would apply."

For example, he said, Christians of the first three centuries disobeyed the laws of the Ro· man Empire and often went to their death because of their stands. Also people such as Dr. Martin Luther King engaged in demonstrat10ns that broke the law of the state to call attention to injustices.

"The point is that civil law is not an absolute. It is not a god that must be obeyed under any and all conditions. In certain cases where issues of great moral import are at stake, disobedience to law in a peaceful manner and accompanied by certain safeguards that help preserve respect for the institution of law is not only allowed, but may be, as I have said, an obligation of conscience."

Archbishop Hunthausen also said that a bishop has a right and duty to speak on issues and strongly rejected the idea that as a bishop he could not speak out on issues that involve the political realm. But he noted that he could not speak for all Catholics. , Archbishop Hunthausen said failure to achieve mutual dis·

armament "leaves us with only one moral position in this tragic situation, the position of unilat· eral disarmament with trust and reliance on the Lord as our security.

"Such a position will sound to some naive, I believe it is even more naive to think that we can continue a nuclear arms race and not lead to a devastating nuclear war," he said.

"Let me say that I hear the pain and struggles of conscience my words have caused. Some feel that the position I advocate can only lead to the destruction of the free world by the Soviet Union.

"Others, especially those tn our own area of the United States, are so dependent on jobs in the nuclear armaments industry that what I have said can only be interpreted as an attack on the means by which they live and support their families.

"Such persons feel powerless to do anything; they are caught in circumstances over which they have little control, and they have tended to assume that the present armaments race is unfortunate but inevitable," he said. "My words have challenged their basic assumptions and have in some cases provoked deep pain."

Archbishop Hunthausen also noted that some would call his stand disloyal to the United States. "Rather, I believe that a stand like mine reflects a love for our country because it reflects a belief that it is responsive to challenge for moral growth."

Who wrote the Gospel of Matthew?

By Father Jollm J. Castelot

Our evidence indicates that the Gospel of Matthew was written between 80 and 90 in a city of Syria, north of Palestine. But by whom?

Before trying to establish his own identity, it may be interesting to see what type person emerges from the pages of this Gospel.

Until recently, it was assumed that the author was a Jewish Christian, possibly a former rabbi. He shows amazing knowledge of Jewish law and custom, quoting the Old Testament some 41 times; twice as often as the other evangelists.

However, in recent years, a minority view has been growing

in popularity. According to this view, the author was a learned gentile who came into the Christian community by way of the synagogue - a not unusual route in those days - or belonged to a predominantly Jewish church.

Those who hold this view point to the overall attitude of the author, an attitude which would be hard to explain if he were Jewish. For example, there is a scathing denunciation of the pharisees in Chapter 23.

But whether converted rabbi or learned gentile, by practically unanimous consensus he was not Matthew the converted tax collector. Nor was he one of the 12 apostles. The only one in anti-

quity who suggested "Matthew" as the author was Papias, whose testimony does not stand up under critical examination.

An even more serious consideration is the fact that the author of Matthew used the Gospel of Mark as a resource, not as his only source. On the hypothesis that the author was Matthew the converted tax collector and one of the Twelve, he would have witnessed the public ministry of Jesus. Why, then, should he have bothered with secondary sources? What need would he have of other sources at all?

Most telling, his account of the call of the tax collector is taken almost word for word from Turn to Page ThIrteen

Commentators had a field day when former President Jimmy Carter announced that nuclear proliferation was his daughter Amy's chief concern.

Could reaction to the remark say more about us than about Carter? Despite living' on the brink of various disasters, we hope that somehow our children do not know about them.

Maybe we feel guilty about our powerlessness. Or perhaps we have a romantic memory of an idyllic childhood.

Lots of us know how to "tune out" talk about Hiroshima, a famine in the African Sahel region and violations of human rights in the Soviet Union or Central America. When such matters are discussed in homiles, individual and collective follow-up is often tiny.

Why? Married priests or busy lay professionals would probably respond that their horizons get steadily reduced by the press of many expectations. Volunteers en~rgetically tackle special concerns and have little time for additional tasks. Parish adults and teens claim, with justice, that the demands of job, school and

family leave little room to move beyond reading the headlines about global issues.

Yet certain things nag at us.

Schools, civic organizations, churches and synagogues have a pretty good record of raising funds for the needy. We scan pictures of children with bloated, stomachs and willingly write a check or sign a petition. But this Turn to Page Thirteen

Athens, Greece, is dominated by the ruins of the Parthenon, a shrine to the goddess Athena. It sits high above the city on the Acropolis hill. Just below the Acropolis, on Mars Hill, are the ruins of the Areopagus, or court district.

When Paul was in Athens some 1,900 years ago the city was smaller than today, but even more fascinating. Paul marveled at the beauty of the Parthenon but he was shocked at the thought of people worshiping a false goddess, Athena.

He walked to the Areopagus.

As a child, Mission Sunday was special for me. My parish had children dress in the many garbs of religious orders doing work in the missions. They walked in procession through the church and then took part in minidramas about efforts to bring the Gospel to foreign lands.

Such ceremonies can convey more vividly than words how we belong to a church of many nations.

Catholics still support those who carry the Gospel message to people who have little knowledge of Christ. Lately we have come to appreciate more fully the importance of each of these peoples and to realize that the Gospel is exemplified in actions that

I

help them enjoy freedom and a more humane life.

There is also a new appreciation that we have as much to learn from Asians, Africans and Latin Americans as they from us.

For example, the Latin American and African churches have given us the notion of "base communities," that is, smaller groups of Catholics taking responsibility both for deepening their own faith and for carrying out the work of justice. Their example is being imitated by many parishes where it has been found that much good can be accompublished within small groups.

We have also benefited from insights into the spiritual life of the East. Through dialogue with, for example, Buddhists, insights can be gained into the human

quest for union with God. The late Thomas Merton, one of the most popular 20th century Christian writers studied this possibility in depth.

The term "global village" has been used to describe our awareness of how small the world is, how much our lives are tied together. There is a growing awareness that we receive as much as we give.

However, people are tempted, and even encouraged, to view other nations as competitors.

Perhaps Mission Sunday could become a time to celebrate the mutual dependence of nations, a time to recommit ourselves to spreading the Gospel, a time for listening to God speaking to us through all his people.

. Ninth graders learn to serve

By Katherine Bird

"People help people" at St. John the Baptist Parish, says Father E. Carl Lyon. In this suburban parish of Silver Spring, Md., three-fourth of parishioners are involved in parish activities.

They promote peace and family life, and aid unwed mothers and alcohol and drug abusers.

The focal point for the parish is liturgy. Every weekend St. John's celebrates 11 Masses and its youth Masses are as apt to draw older people in wheelchairs as young persons.

Parishioner Alicia Urban started attending St. John's 11 years

ago. Strongly committed to parish work, she now directs the 9th grade in the school of religion.

A look at her program gives a good idea of the many links among parishioners at St. John's.

Sixty students and six teachers pursue a carefully thought-out program divided into units on the aged, the handicapped, hunger and poverty.

The program follows a "service-oriented theme, designed to raise consciousness" about the needs of others, says Mrs. Urban. She sees this as a spiral process, "starting with the family and then reaching out, first to

people in this country and then to the world." This theme is tied closely to the parish's Bread for the World group, she explains.

Bread for the World is a citizen-action group "interested in the relation between hunger, world resources and peace." At St. John's it collects and distributes food to ecumenical agencies like Bread for the City and educates people on the connections between Scripture and the problems of today.

During the unit on hunger and poverty, said Mrs. Urban, 9th graders join with Breael for the World members in making and Turn to Page Thirteen

Fall lliver to Fiji Continued from Page Twelve scant respon~e may just be a Band-Aid for mortal wounds.

How can we move beyond minimal aid? As the world gets smaller, what awareness and action are needed in regard to all who share its life?

Here are five suggestions for individuals, families and parishes: 1. Look at your own world carefully.

Start with your food and drink. Who raises it? For what return on their labor? The TV advertisement about coffeE~ picker Juan Valdez does not Sl!em to match reality.

Yet the lives of people in Brazil, Somalia and Bangladl!sh do connect with our own. O:ttholic economist Barbara Ward has several books that vividly (:onvey how Topeka relates to Timbuktu and Fall River to Fiji. LOI:al action groups and churches often have similar materials.

2. Change small horizons to global ones.

What do your children learn in school and religious education about other cultures? Is a global consciousness nurtured? Mission and overseas relief programs educate people on the need to act, from a global standpoint, in light of gospel values.

3. Join with others.

As individuals, we may be weak but united with others we can be strong. Bike-a-thol:1s and youth "fast-ins" are opportunities to join with religious persons of other traditions. Ecumenical groups can launch strong efforts.

4. Combine worship with practical help. Perhaps your parish can integrate such programs as Rice Bowl into Sunday services or increasing the times when canned goods are broug:ht forward at Masses for local food closets that feed the hungry.

Sponsor occasional "lellrning" coffees after Mass with printed materials to take home.

5. Bring the world to your doorstep.

Mrs. Urban says such service exposes students to situations they don't normally melet. She quotes one girl as saying proudly. "I didn't think 1 could do it - and I did."

On the other hand, the very success of the program leads to a "bit of a let down" when it ends, Mrs. Urban added. To counter this. some teenagers continue volunteer servic:e. perhaps at a nearby home for the retarded.

What are the long-range expectations for these students?

"~

One hears that alcoholism is being discussed in many a pul· pit, sometimes when clergy admit their personal problems with this drug. Emphasis is laid on the saving power and redemptive vitality of personal and human relationships of compassion and reciprocity, of acceptance and support cutting across barriers of culture and outward distinction.

I have heard many programs on alcoholism and drunk driving - but I also hear of the wonderful work of Alcoholics Anonymous, which is helping more and more people to admit they have a problem and to do something about it.

wHA'I' IS your purpose in life? Styx's recent hit, "Toe, Much Time on My Hands" shows what happens when you lose your sense of purpose.

"Well I'm tired of losing. I've got nothing to do and all day to do it." As time ticks away with no direction, the person's sanity and sense of self-worth steadily diminish. Finally, the person proclaims that it's "no wonder I'm null and void."

What we do with our time is very important. How we use our time - and where - is governed by our sense of purpose. Without purpose we feel restless and insignificant. We . don't feel peaceful. But the purpose we require is not discovered by magic.

Many people find they have to work hard to put purpose into their lives. When we open ourselves to trying new opportunities, new actions, and meeting new people. we discover or expand our sense of purpose.

Life is not meant to be an empty experience. But we have to be willing to work toward specific goals to create the purpose that will fill the emptiness.

Laziness is the real enemy of purpose. 'We can easily rationalize why we should not take a challenging course, join in a service project, or take a job.

Of course, we need to take care in making decisions about what we get involved with. But a pattern of avoiding new opportunIties can mean that we are getting lazy.

Comfort is the ally of laziness.

It takes work to move out of our comfort zones and open o~­ selves to a new growth. aut growth will increase our sense of purpose at any age in life.

Giving into laziness means finding "too much time on our hands" at any age.

Emotional illness

By Tom Lennon Q. My mother went to a psychiatrist for more than two years, and now he has put her in the hospital, probably for six weeks at least. I'm so ashamed of having a mother like that and I wonder what awful things my friends will say. What's even worse, I'm afraicll' that someday I'll have a mental breakdown too. Help me please. (WIs.) A. If your mother had some form of crippling arthritis and put up a courageous struggle to keep going. day after day, you'd no doubt - and rightly - be proud of her.

Probably your mother, now in the grip of mental illness, is putting up a much greater, though perhaps hidden and subtle, struggle to hang in there.

Be proud of her.

Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of - ever. Just as our bodies can get sick, so can our mind. Just as 1Il disorder can take place in our stomachs, so can a disorder take place in our emotions.

More and more persons have become aware that mental illness is in no way a disgrace. But some other people, sad to say, still retain old and dark attitudes.

A few years back a young woman who had endured a siege of mental illness told me how much it hurt her to hear her psyciatrist called a "shrink."

Words like that are a put-down, and I've tried to erase all such words from my vocabulary.

Some of .your acquaintances may use cruel phrases and even make jokes. Pity these persons and question whether they are really your friends. Instead' of bursting out in anger, you might try saying simply and calmly, "That language comes from ignorance," or "Your remarks are offensive."

Whatever they say, don't let them cause you to doubt yourself or your mother in any way.

You ask if someday you, inevitably, will become mentally ill and be hospitalized. Absolutely not. No psychiatrist would

say that because a person's mother or father has had a mental breakdown. the children also will have one eventually.

And mental illness, !ike physical illness, need not mean the end of the world. Many persons have emerged from a bout of mental illness as stronger, better individuals who have a much greater understanding of their own personalities and of people in general.

Stone in Nationals

Bishop Stang High School's Mike Stone has qualified for the U.S. Golf Associatiol!'s junior amateur championship tournament to be held in Fresno, Calif., beginning July 28. StOOll, who plays out of Allendale Country Club, North Dartmouth, carded rounds of 74 and 75 at the Country Club of Brookline to earn his tournament berth.

Additionally, Stone tied with Fall River Country Club's Rick Coleman for runnerup medalist honors in the Fall River club's third annual 18-hole medal play

Junior Golf Tournament. Both fired 73s which earned Stone first-place in the 17-18-year-old bracket, Coleman first place in the 15-16 group.

In that tournament, Mike Haberl of the Dennis Pines Country Club on Cape Cod took medalist honors with a two-over-par 71, which also gave him first place in the 13-14 bracket. In the 12-and-under bracket Jim Campbell of the Newton Commonwealth Country Club fired an 80 to take first place.

Fall River C:VO Baseball ~xpanding From five tems in 1980 the Fall River CYO Baseball League grew to eight teams this season, with newcomers Columbus, Our Lady of Health, St. Patdck, St. William and Swansea joining defending champion Flint Catholic, Immaculate Conception and St. Michael's Club.

Entering this week, Flint Catholic was setting the pace with a 9-2 record followed by Immaculate Conception 6-4, Swansea 5-1, St. William 5-5, St. Michael's Club 4-6, St. Patr:lck 3-6'1 Our Lady of Health 3-7 and Columbus 2-6.

St. William's qualifi1es for "hard luck team" of the season

so far. Al (Val) Vaillancourt, league director reports that of the Maplewood team's first 10 games, seven were decided by one run.

The league operates Sunday through Thursday each week at Lafayette, Kennedy, Maplewood and Ruggles Parks. The regular season will run through Aug. 15 after which will come playoffs for the top four teams.

Tonight's games, at 6, have Columbus vs. Immaculate Conception at Lafayette Park, Our Lady of Health vs. St. Patrick at Kennedy Park. The lone game Sunday, at 5:30 p.m., pits St. William's against Swansea.

Maplewood Still Bristol County Leader Maplewood, which hasn't lost a game since a 13-4 defeat by South End on June 17, st.ill continues to set the pace in the Bristol County CYO llaseball League. The only blemish on that long skein is a tie game with North End July 1.

Entering this week, Maplewood had a 10-2 record and a three-game lead over South End, 8-6. Next in the standings were Kennedy 7-6, Somerset 6-6, North End 5-7 and Central 0-9.

As the league ends it.s sixth week tonight South End will oppose Maplewood and Central takes on Somerset in a twin bill that gets underway at 6 at Thomas Chew Memorial Park, Fall River.

Absence of CYO baseball in other areas of the diocese has resulted in several players from outside the Fall River area, notably from around New Bedford, joining teams in the Bristol County loop.

Standing out among the group of non-Fall River players is Tony Barroso, former New Bedford High righthander, who recently hurled a no-hit, no-run gnme and leads the league in strikeouts.

With him on the North End team are Bob Healey and John Sacrame~to, formerly c,f Dartmouth High. Cassius Shuman, another Dartmouth grad, is on the Nortp End team but is presently nursing his pitching

shoulder.

Pace-setting Maplewood has three Greater New Bedfordites on its roster. They are Steve Marshalek, formerly of Dartmouth High and now at Ithaca College; Pete Simmons, former Dartmouth High catcher and Doug Houde, a' rightie formerly of Bourne High School but now residing in New Bedford.

The second annual 4.7-mile Mount Carmel Summer Festival road race will be held at 6:30 p.m. next Saturday from the Mount Carmel Church grounds, Lincoln Street and Route 44 in Seekonk.

Richie Roy and Phoebe Nasser fired a combined net 130 to finish first in the two-day Rev. Francis J. McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament at the Fall River Country Club.

For 60 or so youngsters participating in last week's S{)merset Baseball Camp, a surprise visit from Jerry Remy, Red Sox second baseman and Somerset High graduate, provided the thrill of the week. Remy drove from his Lexington home to talk to the kids for some three hours on every facet of baseball.

He also signed any number of autographs.

CCC fund seeks proposals WASHINGTON ~C) A new funding cycle for the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC) has been approved by the U.S. Catholic Conference's Communication Committee., It began with a "pre-application" process designed to help potential applicants dete~ine if it is advisable to spend time, money and energy in developing a full proposal.

The process calls for basic information in short form about the proposed program, treatment intended audience, staff and budget. The deadline for pre-applications is Sept. 16, 'after which an evaluation committee will select applicants to be invited to develop full proposals.

During spring, 1982, the committee will make final choices.

Selection emphasis will be on national television and radio programming, including family specials, documentaries on the work of the church, and syndicated radio programs to deliver news and current events and programming for youth and special audiences.

In the first two years of the campaign, 54 media projects in the United States and abroad have received assistance totaling almost $2 million.

NFP services due to be expanded WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. bishops want natural family planning to become an ongoing service in American dioceses. The effort has been launched by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities.

The program, to get underway with a five-year organization commitment by individual dio· ceses, will include integration of natural family planning into the diocesan structure, embracing educational, health care delivery and social service components.

The diocesan plan is intended to draw from existing personnel and program experience and to demonstrate how these can expand and improve. It recommends that each diocese appoint a program administrator and advisory committee and organize married couples experienced in natural family planning methods into a cadre of teachers.
