WASIJINGTON ,(NC) A three-year national study on the structural elements of the Ordo Missae - the Order of Mass will ,be undertaken by the U.S. bishops' Committee on the Liturgy, it was announced by Archbishop Rembert Weakland, of Milwaukee, committee chairman.

The study will not have any immediate effect on current U.S. practice. The findings will ,be presented to the National Conferepce of Catholic Bishops and the Vatican when the work is completed in 1982.

A number of bishops, priests and others have asked the committee to restudy the structural elements within the present rite of the Eucharist. Several possible structural changes have been' suggested for the Order of the Mass.

For example, some have recommended that the sign of peace should be at the beginning of Mass, others that it should be after the readings, while still others favored the time of the homily. Also, some people have suggested that the Gloria might be placed at the beginning of Mass, some think there should be three readings instead of two, and others have raised questions about such matters as whether the responsorialpsalm should be used when not sung.

Any changes in the Order of Mass which might be suggested after the completion of the study must first be presented to the' National Conference: of Cathoiic Bishops. and to the Vatican for , approval.

the路 moorin~ The Mood of the American Church

the

word

.

There is a strange mood brewing in the American church, one very difficult to pinpoint or categorize. Labels of themselves are but useless tags which somehow do not apply to the present. situation. It is the church of John, the church of Paul, the church of the John Pauls all wrapped in one.

It is far from the strong church of Poland, yet in no way as chaotic as the church of France. It is a church that in some circles is on a direct road to conflict with the present Holy Father, wlrlle at the same time a church that has become spellbound by the charm and charisma of his person.

It is a church where a rift is deepening between the hierarchy and the laity while at the same time the concept of community is permeating the worshiping faithful. ,

I

It is a church which is seeing a vast decline in religious vocations while at the same time lay movements are flourishing. .

It is a church 路which has become the favorite negative target of the secular media while at the same time becoming ever more consCious of its own communication needs.

The recital of contrasts is endless. Yet how does one view the present in order to prepare for the future? The logical answer would be to analyze the past. But today's mood is so very illogical that even th~!? standard of judgment would have little validity. .

How does one express the sweeping effectiveness of the charismatic renewal? How can one on a time basis judge the consequences of the Marriage Encounter movement?

How can one say that the Cursillo movement is truly renewing the fabric of church life?

These are not. scapegoat questions designed to avoid the present situation. They are raised to help clear the confusion and untangle some of th~ knots that have influenced the American church as it seeks new directions and new visions.

Let no one be mistaken, the church in this country is, searching and probing. Because of this scrutiny, no matter how introspective it may be, the church is very much alive.

But it is presently caught up in a confusion of direction, a lack of leadership and a search for effective identity.

However complex this 'might seem, it should not be a signal for discouragement or depression, despite those prophets of gloom who would immediately say that in order to clear up any doubts, there .must be a return to the "good old days." Well, most are thankful that this can never happen.

At the same time, there are those perennial gadflies who are always wandering the fields with their butterfly nets looking for something "new".

Fortunately the Ame~can church is polarizing in neither of these directions. Could it be said that it is searching for a middle way? Have people had too much' experimentation? Do they want a little more stability in their religious life? Has the American dream of a golden calf in every home become a false god for Americah Catholics?

The very fact that the church in these United States is in a state of self-examination and investigation should be a sign of hope for all who seek to. bring the effectiveness of the Gospel message to the marketplace.

UN Says World . Popula~ion Declining

By Jeff Endrst . A decline in the rate of world population growth is "evident beyond all doubt," says the 1979 "State of the World Population" report issued by the U.N. Fund for Population Activities (UFPA).

Drawing on new estimates by U.N. analysts, the .I:eport concludes that 2 billion of the developing world's 3 billion people "have been reducing their fertility substantially."

With birth rates continuing to slide in Europe,the Soviet Union, North America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, this means that. the trend toward smaller families has now spread to three-quarters of the human race, added the report.

Despite the new figures, UNFPA Executive Director Rafael Salas of the Philippines 'warns that. "it would .be a grave error of judgment to suppose that the 'population problem' has been solved."

Rapid population growth over the last few decades has left the Third World with 40 percent of its people under the age of 15 and abput to enter their procreative years. Even if the present fall-off in fertility rates is maintained for the next 20 years, says Salas, "this will not prevent the world's population from increasing by nearly 2 billion" by the end of this century.

Furthermore, nine-tenths of

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., July 19, 1979

By REV.

ANDREW M. GREELEY

The Irish, dominate the American church, right?

If you are Italian or Hungarian or Polish, you are serenely confident that much of your ethnic group's problem With the church is it's overwhelming Irish power.

You dc;m't have to count heads to prove Irish domination. Everybody knows it is true.

By

MARY CARSON

,"' Church Promotion Is Said Unaffected by Ethnicity \

twice as high as the proportion in the American Catholic population (17 percent of the American Catholics, 34 percent of the clergy),' but once, that is taken into account there is no statistically significant advantage in being Irish in ecclesiastical promotion. If other groups are underrepresented; the reason is not Irish favoritism but rather lower vocation rates.

I can already feel the thunderbolts of the "new ethnic" critics.

I would simply observe that the ' names of the three sociologists are no more Irish than Krol, Bernardin or Rausch. .

There has been debate almost

And those of us who do count heads have. also accepted the conventional wisdom without seriously challenging it-though I have on occasion remarked that names like Krol, Bernardin, Rausch, Medeiros are not notably Irish. \ But now three sociologists, Robert F. Szafran of the University of Iowa and Robert W. Peterson and Richard A. SchoenlIerr of the University of Wisconsin, have- actually' counted the heads. ,Their conclusion: There is no ethnic factor that affects ecclesiastical promotion.

Beth was my daughter's friend from elementary school days. /I knew her as 'a , ' thin, pale girl, with the most beautiful golden-red hair I had ever seen. It was easy to know when Beth was around. Her buoyant, infectious laughter filled the house.

Four years ago when she started high school she became

as long as there has been an American church on the matter of etlinicity in the choice of bishops. The Poles, for. example, were denied a Polish bishop until James Quigley came as archbishop of Chicago and insisted the Polish pastors select one of their number. Quigley, a committed pluralist, couldn't quite figure out why his predecessors had been so reluctant to give the ,Poles the bishop they desperately wanted.

But Quigley's pluralism did not survive his death. It was only wh~n Chicago got another Irish bishop that another 'Polish auxiliary was appointed.

But it is not so much that we should have fewer Irish bishops, but that we should have more black, Hispanic, lithuanian, Italian, and Polish bishops, even if it means discriminating in their favor. ' The virtue involved here is prudence. Why not let ethnic Catholics have hierarchical leaders with whom they can identify?

Her smile lifted everyone's spirits . . . such a warm smile that sometimes caused路 chills because it so starkly contrasted her ever-whiteni-Ai face. Each week her clothes -were belted in more tightly to disguise the struggle against constant weight loss.

In April, Beth died.

When 'I learned last month that my father, has cancer I started praying to Beth. She'd understand. She'd want him to get well.

Last Thursday I took 'my father back to the doctor for a checkup. His cancer is appar-

ently going into remission!

Three days later I attended the high school graduation. The principal gave the usual speech welcoming parents. Then an enormous cloud covered the sun as he started a eulogy for Beth, who would have graduated that day.

'1 started to shiver; tears rolled down my face. Then I remembered my prayers to Beth, my father's improvement. The communion of saints became a reality. I could feel Beth's presence, her care, her concern.

The principal concluded, asking for a moment of silent prayer. Thousands bowed their heads ... and the sun came out!

Why can't every large American diocese have at least one black or Hispanic auxiliary, and why can't the ability to speak decent Spanish become a promotion requirement in our large metropolitan sees?

Year of Child Termed' An Underwhelming Success By JIM' CASTELLI

Past the mid-point of the UN's International Year of the Child, some questions are being raised about its impact.

The IYC has been criticized from groups such as th~ Conservative Caucus and the Republican Study Committee who say it is "anti-family," and from columnists such as William

Raspberry and Nicholas von Hoffman .who dismiss it as irrevelant and a cover for sending experts to fancy meetings.

A more moderate opinion comes from Holy Cross Brother Joseph Berg of the, National Conference of Catholic Charities who supports the IYC but says: "It's like the bicentennial.

Everybody's doing what, they would have done anyway, but they're doing it under the IYC banner."

The IYC was the brainchild of Father Joseph M0.trman, a Belgian priest who is secretarygeneral of the International Catholic Child Bureau. Al-

though some observers felt there were too many UN "years,", it was eventually approved but given less scope than other' celebrations.

The IYC faced political problems ~~ the United States as well as in the United Nations. For one thing, it had to compete for attention with the upcoming White House Conferences on Families and on Children and Youth.

It also inherited some bad feelings left over from the internatiOnal Women's Year, which was marked by strident debates.

Discomfort about the lYe was

aggravated by two traditional red flags for some groups. in America - the United Nations and the cause of "children's rights." . A few groups have said, for example, that the IYC and its lead U.N. agenCy, the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) support exotic rights such as a child's right to sue his parents for forcing him to go to church.

IYC supporters also say that if the IYC were anti-family, it would not be supported by hundredsof national 'organizations, including NCCW, Catholic Charities, CRS and so on.

When President Carter launched the IYC commission in June, 1978, he said "In our rich country, we have 10 million children who have never had any medical care at all, and about half the children in this country have never seen a dentist. I believe that most Americans are unaware of these statistics."

More than half-way through the International Year 'of the Child, ' it appears that most Americans are, still unaware of those statistics - just as they are unaware that more than half of the deaths in the Third World are of children under five.

J'ob-,Hopping Exercis'es All" Muscles, Red'uc1es Fatigue By JOSEPH RODERICK

In line with all the concern about energy conservation, this -article will deal with a special aspect of the matter, the conservation of personal energy. After a heart attack three years ago, I found that my personal energy had d~-

creased appreciably in two regards: endurance and vigor.

After getting over the initial depression that comes with knowing that one is limited in terms of work one can do following a heart attack, I found myself faced with a garden that required work and therefore the necessity to find out how to do the work.

Now, after retraining my body a bit, I find that I can do more work than ever and that, wjth some thought, I can work longer and with more results than ever.

For me, the net result of pacing my work is an appreciation of each job accomplished and an awareness of the potential of my body rather than of its limitations.

Spiritual Life Continued from Page One ministry and that many women are well suited for the separate ministry of spiritual. direction.

"I think that the laity is coming into its own," she said. "They are taking their rightful place in the church, including in the spiritual world."

She spoke highly of her Fall River roots, noting that she spent her first 20 years in St. Mary's Cathedral parish.

"Both my mother and dad were n'atives of Fall River," she wrote in a letter to The Anchor, "and both were also parishioners of St. Mary's all their lives.

"My father died in 1948 at 63 years of age; my mother, in 1972 at 88 years. Both were people of real vibrant faith, the living out of which enabled them to provide their children with a very happy, God-centered home.

I never e?,perienced deprivation in the simple no frills life-style of my growing-up years. I suppose that was because everyone was in the same boat, due to the Depression.

"My own values have been shaped, to a large extent, by the truly wonderful people who were part of the fabric of my early life in Fall River. I could never begin to mention each of those people by name here, but they are still very dear to me. I visit Fall River only occasionaJIy now -when .I do, I stay with the Dominican Sisters on Park Street.

"Sister M. Thomas, my high school teacher for four years at Dominican Academy, has had a great influence on my life. She is still a very dear friend.

"And, speaking of friends, I had the most thrilling experience on my birthday. I received a card from someone I had not heard from in 42 years. She had seen my picture in Newsday and wrote, 'If you're the Kathleen Murphy who was my best friend in St. Mary's School in Fall River, then your birthday is one week after mine!'

"It was indeed my best friend from grammar school days Barbara McGinn McCoy - and we've had two wonderful visits since then. We discovered we live within a short distance of each other here on Long Island."

Sister Kathleen's center offers both year-long and summer programs, with graduate credits availabl~ for qualified participants. 'Further information is available from her at 9 Aberdeen Road, New Hyde 'Park, N.Y. 11040.

Dear Mary: Ever since Grandma died, Grandpa has changed. He is so negative about everything. He complains almost constantly.

His health is good and he does not ~ a nursing home, but he gets on my nerves. He criticizes the children, which I consider a criticism of the way we are raising them. I would like the children to know and love. him, and I would like him to live out his days in peace and harmony, but it is not working out that way at present.

A. When three generations live together or in close proxi._ mity, you need a great deal of flexibility in order to achieve harmony. Clearly you want to relate well to Grandpa. Despite your good intentions, it is not easy. Both physical and psychological limitations arise.

We acept a child's physical limitations almost automatically.

We expect small children" to move more slowly, to need as,sistance. Probably because we - continue to think of our parents at the peak of their capabilities, we are frequently less tolerant of their physicai limitations. As with a child, you will find life less frustrating if you simply adapt to the schedule and abilities of the older person.

Slow down. Allow more time to go shopping or get to the doctor or church. You will feel less pressed and you' may .find that ,you enjoy the outing.

Perhaps Grandpa's memory is

Schultzy I Alice Quits Hollywood for God

By Frederick M. Lilly DENVER(NC) - Millions of Americans know her as "Schultzy" and 'lAlice" from TV's "The Bob Cu~mings Sho~" and "The Brady Bunch."

But Anne B. Davis prefers to be known as a woman who is being obedient to what God wants of her.

The actress is now living in a Christian community household headed by' Episcopal Bishop William Frey of Colorado. The household - which includes 17 people - lives in a iarge old home in Denver.

It is one of four such households in Denver comprised of Episcopalians who have come to a new awareness of God's presence and action in the world through charismatic renewal. .

"We live in the world and go to church," Ms. Davis said, "but what we should be doing is living in the church and going fa the world. That is what Christian community does."

Living in a Christian community is going back to the way life used;, to be in extended families, she said. "It helps us to grow in love even with people we don't like. We learn to love the way the Lord does, with unconditional love."

The 17 members of the household live together as a family, she said.

(LouIsIana) A. I'm afraid you are under several misconceptions concerning the Our Father. First of all, no one knows for sure .what exact words Our Lord used when he gave us what we Christians commonly call the Lord's Prayer.

Jesus, of course, did not speak English. What we have are translations from the Aramic that Jesus spoke, or even translations of translations.

Since any good translation from one language to another ·invalves a translation not merely of words but of ideas, the exact wording of something like the Our Father might differ greatly according to. who is doing the tranSlating.

A.

However, under certain circumstances, it has always been a1iowed to use the church for .other' appropriate purposes, sometimes even artistic performances. More recently, 'the use of such buildings for other religious ceremonies has been approved much more than in the past.

JERUSALEM (NC)-Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek is a feisty, articulate man and a staunch Israeli patriot. All these characteristics are evident when he defends Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

"The unity of the city as the capital of Israel is not negotiable." he told a group of U.S. lornalists who recently visited Israel.

But he quickly acknowledged that the right of Moslems and Christians to control their holy places should be negotiable and that these rights should become part of law.

He emphatically 'denies stories that structures on several locations of the Via Dolorosa (Way of, the Cross) are 'being tom doym.

"They're probably talking about the seventh and eight stations," he said.

Several years ago, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, on one of the sites, was in danger of being flooded. The city checked and learned that the sewerage system had .been laid in the fifth century and had not been replaced.

"We are now replacing superstructures and buildings at city expense, but there is no danger of anything being tom down," said Kollek.

The Pretensions of James and John

By Father John Dietzen.

One day James and John ap. proached Jesus. "Teacher, we want you to grant our request," "What is it?" he asked. They replied, "See to it that we sit, one at your right and the other at your left, when you come into your glory" (Mark 19, 35-37).

Their impertinence was too much 'for Matthew, who changed the script so as to have their mother make the request, for them. Luke omitted it. Matthe~'s version is not without its humor, at least in our day, when a favorite theme of Jewish comedians is that of .the Jewish mother, so determined that her thin baby boys are going to be successful that she glow,. ingly introduces them (in the playpen) as "the doctor" and "the lawyer."

Nevertheless, the request set the scene for' some extremely important Gospel teaching. Jesus told them, "You do not know what y.ou are asking. Cap you drink the cup I shall drink or be baptized in the same' bath of pain as I?" "We can," they told him. Jesus said in response, "From the cup I drink of you shall drink;. the bath I am immersed in you shaH share. But as for sitting at my right or my left, that is not mine" to give; it is for those to whom it has been reserved" (Mark 10, 38-40): and Matthew adds "by my Father" (20-23).

It is not for Jesus to hand out political plums to his friends. It is for him to do his Father's .will, to suffer and even die if need be. And if anyone would share his mission, that is the path he must follow, too. Mark's Gospel is the Gospel of the cross, uncompro.mising, challenging, demanding.

The narrative goes on to tell that "the other 10, on hearing this, became indignant at James and John." One is strongly tempted to suspect that their indignation was caused not so much by the brothers' presumption and lack of understanding as by the .fact that these two had 'beaten them to the draw in asking for privileged ~ositions.

That may be why Jesus got the mall together for his ensuing instruction. People in authority in this world's societies, he told them, lord it over their subordinates. They pun rank, insist on privilege, indulge in all sorts of power plays, use every possible means to stay on top. But God's reign is not a power structure, a multinational corporation, a "kingdom" in the usual sense of the term. It iS,'at bottom, a mysterious force, God's saving love at work in the hearts and souls of peopl~. It cannot be described in a complex d~agram or a series of flow-~harts.

Consequently: "It· cannot be

like that with you. Anyone among you who aspires to greatness must serve the rest; whoever wants to rank first' among you must serve the needs of all" (Mark .10, 43-44).

Not on:Iy was Jesus instructing his disciples in the Christian

concept of authority; he was telling everyone that following him was often going to entail the relinquishing of long-cherished ideas, something people find difficult in the extreme. But that is the way of discipleship, the way of the cross.

Marriage Continued from Page Twelve marriage with little if any formal preparation (especially if their family background was less than happy) should expect more difficulties than those who participate in marriage preparation programs. The need for accurate knowledge of self and spouse is vital.

Couples under 22 should know that, statistically, their chances for lasting marriage are far poorer than for older couples.

Another often underestimated factor is difference of religion.

Often this can turn into a 'source "of deep pain and resentment.

What a newly married couple " today finds after the first month or two of marriage is themselves warts and .all. Marriage changes nothing and no one.

The only difference is that instead of being alone with my good and bad" characteristics I now live in the same house with another imper(ect human being.

The marriage license is a learner's permit. When the wedding is over the learning begins in earnest.

The difference for the couple who share a vibrant relationship with Christ is the knowledge that the Holy Spirit is with them, challenging them to grow in love, away from fear into greater trust. The marriage of two Christians promises to be different in this important respect. ,But the marriage of Christians also means the call to become more than just a typical happily married couple. A Christian couple should expect to be called out of comfort and away from security as" the world understands these things. The summons is to live free from all that restricts our ability to love and serve one another in our joys and our needs.

Once the decision is made" to mary this particular person. I , become responsible for the outcome of this decision. I should expect that if this relationship is neglected in favor of children or careers, money or anything else, to the point that one or more of these things becomes more important than our relationship, then our marriage is I

F'or Children Continued from Page Twelve to be great must serve theothers. The greatest among you is the one who serves the needs of all.

"Haven't you understood anything from being with me? I have not come to be served and waited on. I came to serve, to be the servant of all. I am willing to give my life for you, for everyone."

James and John were embarrassed. So were the others. They were not sure what Jesus meant, but they knew that his idea of being great was not at all what they had in mind. Who ever heard of a king or ruler being everyone's servant?

Only gradually did the disciples learn that. greatness in God's eyes is measured by service of others. In God's kingdom authority is service, power is love.

probably headed for hard times, perhaps. even divorce.

For a couple who place first priority on their marriage, who make regular time for being alone together, for sharing hopes, anxieties and convictions, marriage can be expected to be a lifelong process that will bring an underlying sense of spiritual security and peace" even in the midst of normal marital conflict and struggles with the world.

In the end, marriage is life together with another person who needs love, acceptance, forgiveness-and enouragement every bit as much as I. And I am the principal one he or she can turn to for these things. A life of love and service is what I should expect fr~m marriage today.

Best of Gifts Continued from Page Twelve giving too much, if we examine ourselves, we will find we give from our surplus. Seldom,. if ever, do we actually empty the last copper from our pockets or ' give up our own wish to satisfy the want of another. .

A familiar cartoon depicts a Boy Scout trying to help a little old lady cross a busy street when she obviously doesn't want to go. Our need and desire to help others must meet with sensitivity and understanding the human reaction of another's resistance to dependency.

In our city we have many churches and organizations which ,provide assistance to needy persons. In the literature of one it was said, "The greatest poverty of the poor is not that' they have nothing, but "that they can give nothing."

Secure in the comfort of my own middle-class existence, I sympathized with that apparent truism until one day when I was discussing with another woman the problem of transporting a heavy load of canned foods from a donating church to a distribution center. . The woman with whom I spoke was not much better off than the clients we served. She looked worn and frail, and used a cane to walk.

She said she'd be glad to see that the food was delivered and it would be no problem because she'd use her "wagon." Since it was not a small job I jumped to the conclusion she meant her station wagon even though it startled me to think she owned one.

Then I found she literally meant a child's wagon, which -she was willing to pull a mile, fully loaded, through city streets so that the hungry would be fed.

We are, none of us, so poor we have nothing to give. And none of us is so rich we can ignore or fail' to celebrate the human gifts of selflessness, generosity of spirit, and dignity.

B J AND THE BEAR-NBC

DALLAs-eBS

An independent trucker with a pet chimpanzee named "路Bear" runs into all sorts of trouble while attempting to haul "anything legal anywhere." Breaking the law in a good cause' is not frowned at, but otherwise the show is unobjectionable. .

This is an' evening soap opera.

It portrays a bickering and feuding family,' Le. brothers jealous of one another, ambitious sisters- . in-law suspicious of each other, an unfaithful husband and family members plotting against one another. Depressing' and disillusioning for young people.

showing life,' love, affection of a large family and how it adjusts to death, illness and disagreement.路 However,the high moral tone of this show in the beginning was impaired in later episodes by an uncritical acceptance of a son's extra-marital affair.

Good viewing for young people.

FAMJLY-ABC Family drama-judged as a sensitive, realistic program dealing primarily with teenage problems.

Solutions humanist-pragmatic, not moral. teenagers tend to be glorified. Not objectionable for mature teenagers, but. might 'pose problems for some youngsters: it exposes them to very adult situations en route to solving them morally.

FAMILY FEUD-NBC Quiz show regularly involves low humor and tasteless or cynical remarks about marriage, sex, children. Example of questions: "What would surprise you most in your son's ,room-a girl or girl's clothes; pornography; drugs; or contraceptives?" Remarks like "romping in the hay", "hot to trot" & "vital zones."

An almost morbid concentration on sex.

FANTASY ISLAND-ABC Drama series set on an island where people who come to visit in hopes of actualizing their dreams. Mostly harmless and entertaining.

FRIENDS-ABC This is life as seen through the eyes of three eleven year olds.

It gives a nice family feeling.

Good for all ages.

GONG SHOW-ABC

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA-ABC Nothing offensive in this science fiction drama of wars and explosions in outer space.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS -NBC A tasteless, sex-oriented spitt-qff from Animal House, the National Lampoon's equally vulgar movie about college fraternity capers.

CANDID CAMERA-eBS Based on camera'reactions of unsuspecting people to ridiculous situations, this program can be very entertaining, especially when focused on children. It is less kind to adults, however, -often exploiting their stupidity or wea\messes for the amusement of the audience.

....

HARRIS & COMPANYNBC This series is about a single parent family in which the principals are all black. Bernie Casey, the father, keeps his family together and puts family above job opportunities and mo.-ney. Nice story which projects a. sense of family cohesiveness.

HAWAII FIVE-o-eBS DETECTIVE DRAMA - Some violence, casual attitude toward sex but generally unobjectionable. Law and order wins out.

HELLO,LARRY-NBC While emphasizing the importance of parent-child communication, this comedy series about a divorced father with two teenaged daughters displays a tasteless preoccupation with sexrelated situations. Not recommended for young people.

HOLLYWOOD SQUARESABC This'is a game show. Can be funny but often tends to be very suggestive and answers are full of "double meanings." Humor i.i mostly low and sexy.

HOW THE WEST WAS WON-ABC

Game Show - Slapstick version of 'amateur hour. Its tasteless and vulgar assault upon any standards hardly justify its. occasional humor.

Interesting saga of a pioneer family in the early days of the wild west, cOD;lplete with IneJ,ians, cattle rustlers and the like.

Sometimes 'overly violent but basically good family fare.

EYEON-eBS

HAPPY DAYS-ABC

In depth reports on topics of current interest - e.g. public school integration, illegal aliens, labor problems. Good investigative reporting. A'dult-oriented.

Situation comedy about a midwestern family in the 50's. Main characters are the Cunningham family and their boarder, the renowned "Fonz". Show is light

IN SEARCH OF-NBC Interesting scientific program .some caution. suggested with ' young viewers on such subjects as cloning and cryogenics.

INCREDIBLE HULK-eBS The hero of this innocuous show becomes a "superman" and works for good and justice.' The father, in one episode, is portrayed as stupid, unfair and prejudiced. Not a very realistic show but the '''Hulk'' does fight for good. Nothing really offensive.

BARNEY MILLER-ABC Situation comedy involving the day to day occurrences in a typical N.Y. precinct. 'Barney Miller is a hard working police captain constantly frustrated by the ineptness of his men in a wide variety of bizarre situations. Serious subjects are sometimes treated in an off-hand manner but program is generally ok for family viewing.

A fairly well done version of a black "Archie Bunker." Amusing but becomes repetitive whenever justice shows itself, even if only in small doses.

JUST FRIENDS-eBS Stockard Channing stars as Susan Hughes whQ leaves her husband to join her sister in Los Angeles, where, she plans to make a life of her own. Permanence of marriage not considiered serious but otherwise amusing and okay for older teenagers.

Physical gestures and dialogue offensive to children and to most adults.

Moral Collapse Seen 'in Guyana GEORGETOWN, Guyana (NC) - Guyana faces imminent moral collapse because of government negligence, according to Anglican and Catholic leaders.

The Catholic Standard, a national weekly published by the Jesuits, and Anglican Archbishop Alan Knight of the West Indies have criticized the administration of .Prime Minister Forbes Burnham, especially its handling of the investigation into th~ People's Temple deaths.

The weekly backed demands by the archbishop that the government publish results of its inquiry into the People's Temple deaths at Jonestown and Georgetown, and launch another inquiry into other sects "of doubtful vintage."

Burnham and his aides "maintained an ominous silence' about the whole ghastly affairs," said Archbishop Knight.

Burnham was criticized also for his handling of other domestic issues.

"The missappropriation of public funds, thefts and robberies of defenseless citizens and evidence that few involved in such crimes are brought to justice, chronic shortages of essential commodities and dismal failure of the administration to control rising inflation, add up to nothing less than the imminence of a complete moral collapse in Guyanese society," said the Catholic Standard.

Guyana, a former British territory with 825,000 inhabitants, became an independent republic in 1970. It has been alternately ruled by two opposing political parties, the People's Progressive Party and the incumbent 'People's National Congress. It exports cane sugar, rice, bauxite, manganeses and diamonds.

The' gross national product is $450 million.

Archbishop Knight recalled the "horror and shame of the Jonestown tragedy with its' mass murders and suicides, which has sullied the name of Guyana in the world and given it a notoriety which will take a generation to live down."

The Catholic weekly reported the theft of 21 guns from police headquarters that had belonged to the People's Temple and were used in the shootings that killed U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan and others of his party prior to the Jonestown mass suicides. The report said the arms were being kept in police custody for ballistic examination.
