Central America hot By Agostino BODO WASHINGTON (NC) - Presi dent Reagan continues to attract controversy by his Central Am erican policies, even in his ef forts to gain more public sup port. A case in point ,was his forma tion of a bipartisan commission to revaluate the policy and sug gest changes. Reagan hopes this approach will receive more sup-

port in Congress, where his aid requests are being cut by critics, and that such congressional sup port will help shape a national consensus. But his choice' of Henry Kiss inger, former secretary of state, to head the bipartisan group brought criticism from congress ional liberals, who hold Kissinger responsible for the 1973 over throw of Chile's Marxist presi

Permanent deterrence 'insane' DUBLIN, Ireland (NC) - Per manent reliance on a strategy of nuclear deterrence is "insane," said the Irish Catholic bishop's in a joint statement on war and peace. They said a deterrent policy can be morally acceptable under certain circumstances but added that the current stock of war heads "far exceeds any rational estimate of what detell'rence re quires." The bishops' statement, "The Storm That Threatens," holds that possession of nuclear wea pons for deterrence can be tol erated as the lesser of two evils under certain conditions: There must be no intention to use them against population centers; the underlying philosophy must be one of sufficiency to deter, not of superiority or equality; sub stantive efforts must be made toward disarmament. The pr~sent nuclear arms sit uation "which is not a balance but a steady escalation" is "a scandal in a world where basic human rights, even food and health care, are being denied, not by totalitarian dictatorships alone, but by all those who think it more important to build up their power of overkill than to feed the hungry," the bishops said. They called for nuclear policy to be built on a reverence for life. ·"Whether in regard to the rights of the unborn, the elderly or the handicapped, the destruc tion of people through hunger and malnutrition, or the threa~ of annihilation through weapons of mass destruction, such reve'r ence cannot be selective, since human life is all of a piece," they said. The bishops pointed to a "mounting conviction" in the church that moral conditions for a just war are more difficult to satisfy in the case of nuclear weapons. When the damage likely to be caused by exercising the right of legitimate defense is out of proportion to the values being defended, "it is better to suffer injustice than to defend our selves by the means involved in such a defense, they said, point ing out that the right of defense is not an absolute. Catholics must assess any military action in the light or their moral principles and refuse to cooperate if the proper con ditions are not fulfilled, the bish ops said.

Associate pastor In response to the presenta tion made by the Very Reverend Master provincial Alban Mon tella, OfM, .Bishop Daniel A. Cronin bas confirmed appoint ment of the Rev. Donald D' Ip polito, OFM, as associate pastor of St. LQuis parish, Fall River, effective July 25.

HANOVER HOUSE FATHER MEDEIROS

·A W"L ALTERNATIVE

'Being a prQest'

Father Medeiros Bishop Daniel A. Cronin was principal celebrant at a Mass of Christian Burial offered Monday ate St. Elizabeth Church, Fall River, for Father Joao Medeiros, 81, who died July 20 after a long illness. Father Medeiros was pastor of St. Elizabeth's from 1955 until his retirement from active min istry in 1972. In retirement he lived at the Catholic Memorial Home, Fall River. Born in Povoacao, St. Michael, Azores, the son of the ~ate Joao and Maria' (Carmo) Medeiros, Father Medeiros studied for the priesthood at the Seminary of Angra, Terceira, where he was ordained in 1926. After serving for 12 years as an associate pastor and pastor in Azorean parishes, he came to the Fall River diocese in 1938. He was' associate pastor at Im maculate Conception parish,

New Bedford, and at St. Eliza beth and Espirito Santo parishes in Fall River until 1955, when he was appointed pastor of St. Elizabeth's. In 1962 he aided financially in construction of a high school in Povoacao, where his contribu tion is memorialized by a bust of himself executed by a native sculptor. Father Medeiros celebrated his golden jubilee in the priest hood in 1976 with a Mass of thanksgiving and a dinner at St. Elizabeth's. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Maria Isabel do Carmo Medeiros of the Azores, and by several nieces and nephews. Some years ago Father Med~ eiros filled out a biographical questionnaire for The Anchor files. To a question inquiring as to special honors he might have received, he answered simply "Being a priest."

The Decent Thing to Do The recent censure by the House of Representat~ves of Congressman Gerald Studds has a far reaching implication for many voters of this diocese. It has always been !the editorial position of this paper that Catholics have a seri'ous obligation of voting in accordance with a conscience fi~ly rooted in the faith teaching of their church. The concePt of diViding one's private beliefs from one's public position is simply a ridiculous excuse for burying honesty and t~th. Too many in politics and private life have used this dual standard of judgment for personal justification.

It sho~ld be noted that the following reflections are offered for the Catholic readership of The Anchor. They

are not to be misconstrued as an attempt to impos~ a

. particular faith value on the general public. Rather, they

should be seen as pertinent considerations geared to Ire

inforce a code of moral action shaped by Catholic thought.

It would be a neglect of editorial responsibility w~re this issue ignored or buried as an insignificant news stqry. A large voting bloc in Congressman Studd~s district in this ·diocese is Catholic in faith acknowledgment. It would \be . lJ,oped, of course, the same could be said of the commitmrnt of these voters. Therefore it would be well for the electorate. to realize the, serious intent of the House in voting for censure. , . \ The action in the case of Mr. Studds reflects his grave breach of public trust. It should be realized thai Congi-~ss does .not employ censure without due reflection, deliberation and reason. It is not used as a tool to solve mere politital issues. It is a process whereby elected officials try to k~ep their own house in order for the integrity of the natibn. 1.1 What right has a Congressman. to seduce a teena~er via alcohol?

Congressman Studds' reaction to the situation has done nothing more than aggravate· it. His deliberate attempt to avoid discussion of his censure is an affront to the House in which he sits, to say nothing of his cob~ stituents. To cast aside the censure by reflecting that it is good. eyery now and then for a member of Congress to undergo some sort of correction was nothing more th~n a blatant insult. How can fellow members of Congress remain loyal. to one who seemingly defies all for which th~t body stands in its attempts to maintain standards of condutt expected of elected officials who receive the public's trust.

Praying

·for guys

you hate

Ray the Repairman is one of the real stalwarts in my set. He is a little guy with a lot of wisdom. He is blunt and funny. The other night he was talking' about how impor tant it is for us to pray for our enemies, and he illustrated the point with a story about himself. "About three years ago I sud denly got transferred to a re pair shop way out in Brooklyn," Ray the Repairman said, toying with his coffee cup as he spoke. "There was no rational reason for the transfer. My supervisor just had a mad on for me .for some reason, I guess. I had to spend two extra hours a day getting to and from work. It was inconvenient and expensive." Ray drank his coffee, lit a cigarette and continued. "I hated the boss for doing this to me," Ray said. "I hated him so much I got knots in my stomach. Whenever I thought about him, a vein in my fore head would throb. I was afraid to get my blood pressure check ed because I knew it was higher than a eat's back. I used to sit up late at night drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes and plan ning my revenge. Would I blow up his car? Hire Joe Botcha galupe to give him a beating? Send his wife photos taken of him with the exotic dancer at the shop' stag party?" Ray had us laughing. He turn ed serious. "Instead I followed the advice I got from guys like you in groups like this - I prayed for the blackguard. It almost killed me to do it. But I did it because of what I heard here: 'Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.' I asked God to bless the boss and be good to him." Ray smiled and drank his coffee. , "You know what happened," he said. "My resentment van ished in a week or two. A year later I put in for a transfer back to myoId shop. It was ap proved." "Ypu're lucky it turned out good and God gave you the tran fer," Paddy Cigar piped up, "or you'd still be praying in Brook lyn." We all laughed, including Ray. "It wasn't so important that it turned out good," Ray said, "but it was important that it began good when I began pray ing for the boss even though I despised him." "Ray is right," I put in. "When you forgive a person y~u hate, when you love your enemies, . when you pray for those who persecute you, the anger goes out of you and peace replaces it. This is a tried-and-true principle of spiritual living. It always works. Trouble is, we don't aI-

ways try it. But it always works When we do, ev,n if we never get the transfer. We get peace." Transit Tommy nodded. "We could never talk like this in a saloon, or at work, or even at most church gatherings, because people would think we were holy rollers," Transit Tommy said. "Spiritual wisdom goes, against the way of the world. But we know from experience that if you pray for your ene mies, you get peace. And some times your enemies get peace, too." We all agreed, and we drank our coffee and went home, and as I was driving along the ex pressway it occurred to me that these knock-around guys in my set, guys like Ray the Repair man and Psddy Cigar and Tran sit Tommy had eloquently reo affirmed the foremost formula ever put forward for the peace we all seek: Pray for those who persecute you. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Let's 'begin today to pray for people we resent, dislike, hate. Let's go worldwide with this. Those who hate President Rea gan - a lot of liberal Catholics do - should beseech God to bless him. Those who hate the commissars who rule the Soviet Union - you know who you are - should pray for God to pour out his love upon them. Let's keep peace and give it away by praying for our enemies.

Holy smoke not wanted VATICAN CITY (NC) The Diocese of Urgel in Spain may be on its way to becolp ing the world's first smoke free 4iocese. In a recent ~etter to local priests, Bishop Juan Marti Alanis banned smoking at all diocesan meetings, according to Vatican Radio. The 54-year-old bishop, who has headed the Spanish dio cese since 1971, also told priests who smoke to quit, for their own health and to set an example for other smokers.

Handicapped seek theater careers By Joan Frawney NEW YORK (NC) - Black characters are no longer por trayed by white actors with charcoal on their faces, so why should the roles of handicapped people go to able-bodied actors? This is the question Jesuit Brother Richard J. Curry has asked since he first became stage-struck back in high school in Philadelphia. Born with only half of his right arm, Rick Curry took part in school plays, stud ied theater in college and earned a doctorate in dramatic arts. Then in 1978 he helped found the National Theater Workshop for the Handicapped to prepare the disabled for work in pro fessional theater. The workshop relies on a voluntary staff and private donations. Members, rehearse in a government-subsi dized building for performing artists. Training students in voice, movement, scene study,. panto mime and improvisation, Broth er Curry emphasizes talent, not disabilities. Accordingly, when the students perform, audiences are too busy. being entertained to feel pity for a blind actress or a singer in a wheelchair. This is exactly what Brother Curry had in mind when the workshop started. "I wanted to give the disabled an opportun ity they never had to taste the joys of theater," he said. "But I also wanted to advance the mainstreaming of the disabled in society and get rid of stereo types like 'all these people are either c04rageous or humble.' We weren't placed here to make the able-bodi~d feel good about themselv~s or get a warm feel ing. We've been placed here to find our own salvation, like everybody else." Brother Curry's message was

echoed by Ed Argenti, a partici pant in the workshop for more' than three years, who lost use of his legs following removal of a tumor from his spine. Even before his disability, Ar genti said, he disagreed with media portrayal of the handi capped as "triumphant or tragic, not as real' persons." Argenti's position differs from that of most of the other stu dents because he pursued dra matic arts as an able-bodied person and therefore did not ex perience discrimination when he auditioned. He has a flexible ap- , proach to the new dramatic skills he is learning. "I'd like to see how far I can go. In some ways, I'm more interested in the cause of disabled people in theater, and by participating in the workshop, I hope to pro mote that cause," he said. Brother Curry, Argenti and other workshop participants· hope to see the hiring of. dis abled actors for commercials and TV series. Their long-range goal

is to discourage sterotypes and encouarge interaction between handicapped people and the able bodied. Lois Benjamin, a polio victim with a voice that easily fills an auditorium, said "people are go ing to react to anybody on a stage: It doesn't matter if you're in ~ wheelchair, you're black, or what." A rehabilitation coun selor by profession, she, like other workshop participants, chafes at sterotypes. "In seventh grade, I played the harmonica for a school show. I was introduced as 'a courageous young woman.' I wasn't cour ageous. I just wanted to play the harmonica," she said. Brother Curry considered es tablishing a theatrical troupe for the disabled but rejected that approach because he wants his students to enter the professional mainstream. Grooming them for this goal is not unrealistic, he said. As h.e put it, they are train ed to do "excellent theater, not simply a good job."

NEW YORK (NC) - Francis can Father Bruce Ritter, inter nationally famous for his Co venant House shelters for needy youth, in' a newsletter, has brought to ,light an important pornography decision which went largely unreported by New York .newspapers 'or television stations. Father Rl'tter reported that two men, Clement D'AJlessio of Fa:rmingville, N.Y., and Scott Hyman of Forest Hills, N.Y., wt!re sentenced to jail for a term . of two to seven years, the first convictions under the newly up held New York State child por nography law. Although this is a landmark case, not a word of the convic tie,ns appeared on television or in thl~newspapers. When Hyman and D' Alessi~ were sentenced,: minor news stories appeared but tlll~ networl{s continued to ig nore it. 'Giving a full account of the C8:.e in his newsletter, Father Ritter said that the films sup plied by D'Alessio and sold by H)man depicted 14 children be tween ages 7 and' 14 engaging in explicit ndult sexual activity. The children wore torn and dirty clothing. They were obviously undernourished, and they show ed signs of ill-treatment, such as welts and bruises. ' "One g-year-old boy appeared drugged," wrote Father Ritter. "Another bewildered 7-year-old, with two front baby teeth miss ing, stared vacantly at the camera." He said that according to what Hyman told the undercover aglmt who eventually brought him to court, it's quite easy to make this kind of pornography, eVlm with children as young as 5. It's when they get older 15, 16, and 17 - that you start running into problems because then they want a share of the money. And astounding though it might sound, the two-to-seven yeflrs. sentence meted out by Judge Thomas Galligan to thtlse two men, who showed no sign of remorse and laughed and joked in court, is considered 'harsh. De(ense attorney Marvyn Komberg protested' indignantly, "It is almost inconceivable that the district attorney is reque~t ing a savage I-year consecutive sentence for such a minimal transaction." Manhattan .District Attorney Robert Morganthau's reply to Kornberg was eloquent. The pOnlographic ..films, he said, "represent a form. of child abuse as vile as any known to civilized society. -The 14 unknown child ren represent 14 lost lives. Their Rl"esence can be neither dismiss ed nor trivialized by this court. -For it is the children, the 14 un known children, who demand retri.bution and it is their moral

Political resettlement

of Indochinese urged

By NC News Service Auxiliary Bishop Anthony J. Bevilacqua of Brooklyn, N.Y., has urged the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to consider the Indochinese political not economic refugees. Bishop Bevilacqua, chairman of the Migration and Tourism Com mittee of the National Confer ence of Catholic Bishops, led a delegation July 5-19 to refugee camps in Thailand, the Philip pines, Hong Kong and the Portu guese-adminstered territory of Macao. "The United States has been most generous and has resettled more of the refugees than all' other nations combined," he said in a telephone interview. "But we feel it can do a little more." Bishop Bevilacqua said that although the U.S. has authorized . admission of 64,000 Indochinese refugees for its current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, the most that could be processed at the current. rate would be 38,000.

He attributed the slowness to understaffing by U.S. agencies involved and to an INS deter mination to operate with "a verY strict definition of who is a refugee." INS officials, he said, claim that many Indochinese are leaving for economic reasons and should not be considered politi cal refugees. "Our claim is that those who are already in refugee camps have been contaminated by Western ideas as the Vietnamese government would see it, and even if they left for economic reasons they have become politi cal refugees," he said. The Migration and Tourism Committee will not ask .the United Slates to authoriz~ re settlement of any specific num ber of refugees during the com ing fiscal year, Bishop Bevilac qua said, but will ask that it be "as generous as possible and en sure 'the actual processing of whatever' number is authorized. It is estimated there are 150,000 to 200,000 refugees. The delegation met with church and state officials in all the areas visited, as well as with representatives of the United Nations and 'voluntary agencies. Bishop Bevilacqua said his group visited three refugee camps in Thailand, two actually about a mile inside Cambodia. These camps are deliberately operated at a primitive level in the hope that they' will not 00 come magnets attracting more refugees, Bishop Bevilacqua said. Suffering of refugees there is worsened, he said, by the fact that many have nothing to do and remain in a continuing state of inactivity and boredom. Bishop Bevilacqua said that a camp visited in the Philippines had a much better atmosphere because it housed refugees al ready approved for resettlement who were being instructed in English ~nd job skills. He also said facilities there were much better than in the Thai camps. . The people of the camps ex

pressed deep gratitude for the help they are receiving, the bish op said. At one camp he was given a wooden plaque with a message carved in English: "We owe our lives to you." Although the flow of refugees out of Indochina is diminishing, significant numbers are still flee· ing, Bishop Bevilacqua said. "Many people thil)k because they don't see pictures of boat peo ple like we did a few years ago, the refugees have all been taken care of," he said. "We want to remind them that boat people are still coming out of Vietnam." Auxiliary Bishop Alfred Abra mowicz, a delegation member, said that for him, one of the greatest joys of the trip came when he was leaving Tokyo for home. As he was getting on his flight to Chicago, he said, 100 South east Asian refugees were board ing a different flight to the United States. Those refugees would be settled in Seattle, St. Louis and New Orleans, Bishop Abramowicz said. "All over Southeast Asian refugee camps, there is a hunger for freedom," Bishop Abramo wicz continued. "Freedom to practice religion, freedom from fear." Another group member, Bishop Roger Mahony of Stockton, Calif., said he was most impress ed by the refugees suffering and bravery. "These people must be under stood as individuals, as parents and children, as people fleeing some of the most repressive re gimes in the world . . . They willingly make great personal sacrifices and undergo great sufferings - even facing injury and death - to find peace in their lives and a future for their families," Bishop Mahony said. He added that the refugees spoke of the United Slates with awe. "This was not in the ma terial sense, but in the profound sense of the freedom which we enjoy and our spirit of sharing and sacrifice to help other peo ,pies."

CARNEY PRIEST greets worker Raymond Hill at a carnival in St. Paul, Minn.

His parish is the carnival midway By Kay Urtz ST. PAUL, Minn. (NC) JF'ather Mac, the carney priest, beamed. Once again, Msgr. Robert J. McCarthy was with the people lie loves, the carnival workers who have drawn him from a (:omfortable parish life in Water town, N.Y., to a circuit rider's E!xistence with a traveling carni val. "It's like being in a branch of t~e service," Msgr. McCarthy said of his job as carnival chap lain. "You can't call· off a war tl) go to church and you can't call off the carnival either." For 'approximately 25 years, "Father Mac" has been bring ing thE; church to the carnival, spending about half the year on the .road.· He celebrates Mass, baptizes babies born since his l~ist visit and counsels those who seek him out in his road-show· ministry. "Everybody on the midway comes to Mass" he said. "One guy (a concession operator)'puts .

out a sign for his employees. They're all told to be at Mass. He isn't Catholic and neither are. most of his employees, but they. all come," he added. It's important for the church to be present on carnival grounds, Msgr. McCarthy said. Carnival people "feel neglected by the church - feel the church, any church, doesn't want them," he said. There are 400 carnivals in the United States, employing some 100,000 persons, Msgr. McCar thy said. . He ~stimated that 30,000 employees are Catholics, but ~ecause of the shortage of carnival clergymen, the monsig- . nor ministers to all faiths. Not. a thwarted sideshow man himself, Msgr. McCarthy explain ed, "it just seems like the Lord ~anted me to do this, and some-. body had to.'~ In 1970 he was appoint«;!d by Pope Paul VI as official chap lain to carnivals in the United States under the Vatican's Pon tifical Commission for the Pas

toral Care of Itinerant People. The work is recognized by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. While the monsignor works only with carnivals, other chap lains are assigned to gypsies, circuses and seaports. The carni val season runs from July to October, and during the winter Father Mac schedules funerals for carnival workers who died during the year. Whenever possiole he eats and sleeps on the carnival grounds. Often, he said, carneys give up their own trailers so he can have a place to sleep. "That's real charity. Their trailer is all they've got," he said. Four priests throughout the country are parttime carnival cha'plains, but Msgr. McCarthy, 64, says more are needed. When not on the road, he is at Holy Famiiy parish, Water town, N.Y. where he is pastor. In his absence three associates keep Holy Family running.

Birds of the Bible fly in Holy Land By But Clark

Like birdwatchers around the world, Israeli aficionados observe and record the. activities and songs of avian species. But they have a unique reso~rce: the Bible. Scripture abounds in de scriptions of the native bird life of Israel, a country which at tracts many species. An example is found in Deu teronomy, chapter 32, verse 11: "As the eagle enticing her young to fly and hovering over them, he spread his wings and hath taken him and carried him on his wings." . Israel birdwatchers who have observed eagle's nesting habits confirm the accuracy of the bibli cal description. These devoted parents do indeed coax their fledgings to attempt flight and assist their first awkward at tempts by using their powerful wings to give them a strong, lifting, breeze. The HQly land's wealth of bird life is d~e to the country's loca tion, its vast range of ecosys tems and its strict nature conser vation laws.

Israel is situated on the only near cities. Israel's fertile and well-watered Galilee area invites continuous land bridge connect ing the Eurasian landmass with scores of species - storks, fla mings, herons, egrets and spoon Africa.

Protection of Nature immediate ly set up an observation post and installed a 24-hour guard around the nest. Those wishing 'to observe the nesting pair , could use a telescope in the ob servation post, but could not ape proach the nest. The protection routine has been repeated for the past four springs and each year the eagles nurture new fledglings. Now it is not unusual to see the golden eagle soaring over the Holy City glowing in the sun, as its He· brew name, "ayit shemesh," ' eagle of the sun, suggests. Not to be outdone, Tel Aviv boasts at least 38 nesting pairs of kestrels, swift falcons which as if, in appreciation of their protected status, build nests in the center of Israel's most bust· ling city. And when a nest of the rare lappet-faced vulture was dis covered in the Negev Desert, its location was kept secret, while nature wardens periodically stocked nearby feeding stations. Other rare birds are being bred in captivity at Israeli universities and are periodically released. The Bible-reading birdwatcher will find frequent mention of doves as symbols, in metaphors and in their own right as beauti ful elements of nature. Israeli species are the rock dove, the an cestor of the urban pigieon; and palm, wood, stock and collared doves. There is also the turtle dove, Israel's harbinger of springtime, made famous by Solomon's ode: "For, 10, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." (Canticle of Canticles 2:11-12). Ancient Israelis named this dove species "tor," probably after its soft, murmuring call. The Romans' were even more precise and called it "turtur." So Israel is not home to singing turtles - it's an error in trans· lation. Although Job was one of the finest naturalists of antiquity, the ostrich's behavior perplexed him (Job 39:13-17). This huge and flightless bird, which runs with an ungainly gait, lays its eggs on the desert floor, where they can be broken or preyed upon. But there really aren't many places where a 200 pound bird can leave a clutch of a dozen eggs, each the size of a melon. Still, Job was puzzled and con cluded the ostrich behaved as it did "because God hath deprived her of wisdom. Neither hath he imparted to her understanding" (Job 39:17). In general it is agreed that birdwatchers as well as birds are well provided for in Israel, with birdwalking trails designa· ted throughout the country and public observation blinds erected in particularly interesting areas.

The light of Christ

By Cecilia Belanger

Fountain of youth.

The worler has always had one agenda and the church another. But if we are to read the agenda of the world truly we must read it in the light of Christ. This light comes to us when we tackle some of the world's problems, whether under our noses or somewhere out there. As is said, "We must leave the safe boundaries of the temple if we really want to know where it is." We often try to imprison God, feeling that he is in one place only. But he is not a pro~ vincial God. Christ broke away from the ghetto of the religious law of his time to be free to help the outcasts, the hopeless, the helpless. Many youths whose livElS have been ruined have allowed the , world to write their agenda. It took conversion to Christ to bring them new life. But those who helped them find themselves through Christ did not say: "Look at us. You must become like us." No, they pointed to the cross and let the convert draw his or her own con<:lusions, mulling over that great sto,ry of love. Blessed are they who discern the signs of God's presence in the world so

that they may celebrate them and point them out to others I I heard one young fellow say, "I couldn't believe it when I was told that Christ was fully and unreservedly for me." From then on his life had meaning; he felt someone cared for him. No ,longer did he de. spair when treated shabbily. 'But he promised himself that he would be different and would turn the rejection he'd received into love for others. He opened up to his neighbors, refusing to curve in on 1)imself as he once had. Indeed, today he is a new person. How often do people think that because others are black or Catholic, or of another ethnic origin that they are all alike, eat the same, feel the same. In the life of Christ there is none of that. In him there is truth, ever-expanding truth as we grow in understanding. New light is thrown upon our path, Ught does not restrict our free dom to search for still 'undis covered ways to say and do things. The struggle does not, cease. But Christ has armed us with the gifts of truth, love and courage.

portsWQtch , . Got A Hockey Team? The Bristol County CYO Hockey League, one of the oldest in Southeastern Mas!!achusetts, is preparing to open its 11th season in September but is in need of a new club. Organized for post-high school skaters, the five team league will play a 20-game schedule at the Driscoll Rink, Fall River. Playoffs will follow the regular season. Games are played on Sunday evenings. Coaches from Massachusetts or Rhode Island who would like to join the league are invited to call Rev. Paul F. McCarrick at St. Joseph's Rectory in Fall River - 673-1123. Players must be born on or after Jan. 1, 1961. Uniforms are supplied by the league and the total cost is $60 per player. Teams are already registered from Fall River, Mansfield, New Bedford and Marion. Entries from Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island are encouraged to join the league. Cycling fans will have their day when the Whaling City Pro-

Am weekend of activities takes place in the streets of down town New Bedford. Big event of the busy weekend of Aug. 13 and 14 will be the racing program on Sunday: a 50-mile Pro-Am race, a 25-mile women's race and a 25-mile junior division race. About 300 cyclists from this country and abroad will be com peting for more than $10,000 in prizes in the United States Cycling Federation sanctional event. On another golf front Jim Mc Dermott established on July 20 a new low record of 64 for the Fall River Country Club course. It was the second time this sea· son that he set a new low mark for the course. Earlier in the season he fired a 66 to break his own record of 67 but that new record was broken by Jim Hallett who post ed a 65 in the recent Tom Nor ton Open Tournament for the benefit of the Greater Fall River Association for Retarded Per sons.

The Decent Thing To Do Continued from page four

There are many who feel that the Studds voting record should be considered in weighing his prospects for re election. One wonders what such people would say if he were as determined a conservative as he is a liberal. That . aside, it should be said that the Congressman's grave br~ach of moral responsibility is an overriding consideration. With the evidence in this matter in mind, together with the urgent need to restore public confidence in the integrity of our elected officials and to uphold basic moral standards in our social order, one can see but one solution to this embarrassing affair. Painful as it may be for some to accept, Congressman Studds should not be representing the people of Southeast ern Ma$sachusetts in the House of Representatives. The decent thing for Mr. Studds to do would be to resign. Letters Welcome Letters to the editor are welcomed. All letters should be brief and the ~ltor reserves the right to condense any letters if deemed necessary. All letters must be signed and contain a home or business address.

"Class" (Orion) A woman in her mid-30s (Jacqueline Bisset) has an affair with a teen-age boy (Andrew McCarthy), a stu dent at a private academy. Later, to their mutual shock, they dis cover that she is the mother of his roommate and best friend (Rob Lowe). This ill-considered effort can't make up its mind whether it's supposed to be a romantic comedy, slapstick or serious drama. The two boys fight it out after the woman's son has discovered the truth, the old macho brawl-and-make-up device. The lasting impression then is of adolescent wlgarity and the sensationalism of graphic sex. 0, R "The Grey Fox"· (VA Clas· sics) Bill Miner (Richard Farns worth) is a courtly stagecoach robber who after 30 years in prison, is released around the turn of the century into a world in which h.is craft has fallen vic tim to progress. He is at a loss for a time, but then switches to train robbery. His first attempt fails, however, and he heads for Canada. There he recruits a one· man gang - an affable and will ing, if none-too-bright logger (Wayne Robson) - and tries again with far better results. Afterwards, whilt: lying low for a while, in a small Canadian town, he meets Kate Flynn (Jackie Burroughs), a feminist and professional photographer. This leisurely, beautifully photo graphed Canadian film is ex tremely well acted but the char acters are not developed well enough to compensate for the lack of dramatic excitement. Then, too, it's hard to empa thize with a man who points a large gun at innocent people and whose profession endangers the lives of those involved with him. Because of its fuzzy morality, the picture is rated A3, PG.. "Zelig" (Orion - Warners) Woody Allen has fun with the Amercian obsession with celeb rity in this little comedy about an obscure clerk in the '20s, Zelig, who wants so desperately to be liked and to fit in that he develops a malady transforming him physically and mentally into a person quite like whomever he happens to be with. Once his bizarre capability becomes

known, Zelig, the Chameleon Man, acquires fame. Under the care. of a sympathetic psychia trist, Dr. Eudora Fletcher (Mia Farrow), Zelig is cured, but just as -he anticipates normal life married to Eudora, public adu lation turns to hostility. A mild ly amusing comedy, the film's best features are its originality and pseudo-documentary style in which the splendid camera work of Gordon Willis faultless ly weaves the Zelig saga into actual historical footage. A2, PG Films on TV Tuesday, Aug. 2, 9 p.m. (CBS) ''The Promise" (1979) Kathleen Quinlan and Stephen Collins play lovers separated by the machinations of the young man's mother (Beatrice Straight).

BRIGHif,. BRITTLE LAUGHTER

She came to us a year ago last April-she came, like many of our kids, at night because she was on the street and hung'ry. When we went to where she ., was, Grace was sitting in a corner, suspicious and fearful. She remained silent when I aSked her the couple of questions we always ask: How old are you? Where are you from? Do you need aplace to stay? Are you hungry? Shp. nodded yes. She let herself be led, reluctantly, upstairs to her new room-we-gave her a shower, some clean clothes, and last, but not least, a warm meal. . She stayed a month, and to the delight of all of us, seem ed to like it here. Grace grew with adolescent leaps and bounds: the start of a job, a high school equivalency program, the beginning of some love-giving and getting. She also fell back periodically: into her sadness, lying about where she got her money, her habit of bright, brittle laughter, wanting to go back to Joey who beat her up all the time. There were many confrontations, meetings, and conferences about Grace during that spring. What did she" really want? What was the best thing for her? What should she do next? One afternoon, I walked into the lounge and saw Grace lying rigidly on the couch cuddling her teddy bear. She said that she was leaving because no one cared about her ex C!lpt her teddy bear. She said these things smiling her ever present, glass-hard smile, and when I grinned back at her (thinking she was into her usual playful pouting), Grace Father Bruce Ritter, OFM Conv., Is the founder and President of Covenant House/UNDER 21, which operates crisis centers for homeless and runaway youth.

started cry, and screamed: "Stop making fun of me. This is the only thing I care about. You don't care. Leave me alone. I'm leaving.. " She didn't. She stayed for another two weeks b:efore, filllld with a bitterness she could not under ~tand aid spewing curses, she walked out. , I ._ .

"She came at night because she was on the . I street---':"and hungry"

I see G1race from time to time. The most recent was last week on the street with afriend. She told me of her guy and the Fifthl Avenue apartment where she was living; of another Qoyfriend with a motorcycle whom she was on her way to visit now. He's the one who wouldn't come to see her a few mOnths back when she committed herself to a psychiat~ic hospital for depression. (It's better than over dosing, she said, like when I was 14 in New Jersey). She seemed tb want me to approve, knowing I wouldn't, yet wanting ~omething'-mi!ybe the same things we gave h'er a year agp, whatever they were. And then her bright empty smile and the winking out of a little more hope in a face now older and just a little bit harder.

GrOWing up is the hardesUhing any of us ever does. For the Graces of this world it's desperately hard. Judging from a merely human viewpoint, I guess Grace is not going to make it. I guess that's why the Lord said "Judge not." I'm overwhelmingly and relievedly glad to let Him do the judg-. ing. Pray for Grace and all of our other kids. Pray for us. Help us if you can. -~------------~---------, Here's my contribution to continue offering kids like Grace the chance to grow up. I've enclosed: $_ _ please print:
