Pope Leaves Today

For African Trip CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)-Pope Paul VI has proclaimed that he would not visit Uganda as a tourist but as someone who has a deep concerri over the' bloody conflicts and racial strife in Africa. "Let me say immediately that this is not a tourist The Pope said his visit would visit," the Pope told those "a religious and apostolic one be gathered to hear his Sunday which we believe conforms to sermon five days prior to our pontifical ministry." He said his departure today for Kampala, Uganda.

"Our journey has an intention which is fervent and faithfulthat of peace. This peace is suffering in Africa through the painful conflicts which have reached many victims. You know where.

"There is conflict which it is still impossible to settle.

"This peace also suffers because of racial discrimination which the Christian and ci~il conscience cannot tolerate. Peace is necessary in justice and in the progress of those new peoples who are open to Christian and modern civilization. It is for this reason that we are going to Uganda."

.:uganda was chosen because of the "wonderful Christian testimony which took place less than I00 years ago."

The Pope was referring to 22 Catholic African youths who were martyred in Uganda between 1885 and 1887. They were canonized by Pope Paul himself on Oct. 18, 1964.

He praised the martyrs for "the incredible heroism shown in the face of atrocious sufferings and for the serene willingness of their sufferings."

The Pope advised, "You would do well to read the story of their unjust and cruel deaths. It is one of the most beautiful pages Turn to Page Eighteen

Saginaw Township is a suburban area with a fast-rising population and a shortage of public school classroom space.

Daniel McCom'1ell, superintendent of Township schools, has cautioned that the shared-time program is still in the exploratory stage.

Extends Orde'r Barring Militants from DislI'upting' Church Services ST. LOUIS (NC) - U. S. District Judge James H. Meredith extended for 10 weeks a temporary court order barring ACTION and the Black Liberation Front, local civil rights militant groups, from ent.ering and disrupting worship services at the St. Louis cathedral.

After a full day of testimony regarding ACTION's disruptive demonstrations on several successive Sundays at the cathedral, Judge Meredith declared "the court finds no moral or legal justification for these events."

The court order was originally granted by Meredith two weeks ago at the request. of Joseph Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis, cathedral rector Msgr. Rowland E. Gannon, and 19 named cathedral parishioners.

Rather than ruling on a permanent injunction, the judge extended the temporary injunction until Oct. I, during which time both sides should suggest new findings of fact and law. After two subsequent exchanges of statements from both parties, the court would issue further conclusions, Meredith said.

Attorneys for the cathedral, in their petition, cited 24 points for the injunction, basing their argument on the First, Fifth, Ninth, and 14th Amendments of the U. S. Constitution.

Attorneys for the black militants questioned whether a federal court should deal with the case, but Meredith ruled that his court does have jurisdiction in the dispute.

'Slack Paper Report' The court order forbids the defendants from entering the cathedral, disrupting services, "inducing parishioners not to attend services, "making any demands" of parishioners, distributing literature on church premises and "damaging, defacing, or marring" cathedral property.

On July 6, three ACTION demonstrators shouting "white Christian racists" in the center aisle of the cathedral during noon Mass were arrested after a scuffle developed with more than two dozen Cathedral worshippers. The Black Liberation Front, although barred from the cathedral, has conducted demonstrations only at Protestant churches in the metropolitan area.

ACTION militants,' marking their seventh consecutive "Black Sunday" distributed what they

called a "Black Paper Report" on Catholic influence in economic, political, and judicial life of . the St. Louis metropolitan community.

'Racist Relationship' The seven-page "Black Paper" was distributed to worshippers as they left the Basilica of St. Louis, King, the historic old cathedral on the Mississippi riverfront. A week earlier, the old cathedral pastor, Auxiliary Bishop Joseph A. McNicholas, allowed a teen-age ACTION member to speak at the end of the noon Mass.

The document, distributed without incident, predicted that U. S. District Judge James H. Meredith would issue a court injunction against ACTION "because of the good white racist relationship of one institution to another."

Sister Cecelia Goldman, of ACTION's church committee, helped compile the report, which further asserted that Cardinal Carberry was seeking the injunction "to cover up the many skeletons in his closet and the cathedral."

It went on to name judges, U. S. and Missouri government representatives, city and corporation leaders who are Catholic "to exemplify how John Carberry and the Roman Catholic hierarchy use political and economic power to perpetuate white racism."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., July 31, 1969

Urge Greater Use of TV, Radio To Spread Christian Message NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Religious and lay partiCipants in the first nationwide communications institute sponsored by the U. S. Catholic bishops at Loyola University expressed unanimous approbation· for increased use of radio and television to spread the Christian message.

They also voted overwhelmingly to establish diocesan offices of religious information to distribute more news storie's for general audience daily and weekly papers.

There was some negative response on the effectiveness of .Iocal diocesan papers, especially in covering controversial stories.

Some 65 priests, Sisters and laymen from throughout the country were chosen to .learn new techniques in electronic media in hopes that they would get more television time when they returned to diocesan communication posts.

A check of personal backgrounds revealed few participants actually had worked on religious papers or knew backgrounds and trends in Catholic publications. Some who objected to present makeup of local diocesan weeklies opted for regional publications, unaware it has been tried several times before and found unsuccessful because too much important local news was eliminated. ' Local Papers Also, when questioned about using national newspaper chains with local news inserts, most of the participants preferred local papers, however limited they might be by budget or staff size.

Though costs .of . prQ.dul:;ipg local papers begrudgingly were admitted as pecessary, ·there was still strong criticism of presentation of news, especially that it was one-sided.

Most participants agreed local papers should bE! more attuned to' church changes, and perhaps this should be presented through television because of the greater impact and larger viewing audiences., Rather than promote straight religious programming, or discussions of matters of faith, participants were looking for a more "soft sell" format that would appeal to a general audience while presenting a message under the surface.

Receives $290,000 Foundation GralJ1t NOTRE DAME (NC) -'- The Rockefeller Foundation has given the University of Notre Dame a $290,000 grant to enable the university to' participate in a foundation program for the assignment of scholars overseas.

The program will be administered by the university's Institute for International Studies, headed by Dr. Stephen Kertesz, professor of government and international studies at Notre Dame.

Kertesz explained that one of the major program areas of the Rockefeller Foundation has been support for a few selected universities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. .

He said the foundation, convinced that an important contribution to these institutions would be the provision of key academic staff until such time as local faculty would be fully qualified in sufficient numbers, started a visiting professor recruitment program through grants to a few North American and British universities.

Participants said the institute showed them the importance of better TV coverage of religious events, and they were going to press strongly for more money to produce their own shows.

Even without additional funds, television directors claimed more time was a\'ailable free of charge for religi,ous matters if it was professionally presented.

Newspaper Permanence .

What seemed more acceptable . was religious as such, howevE;lr,' not. necessarily just the' Catholic viewpoint. It would seem that programs which were ecumenically acceptable would get bet-· ter prime time, which necessarily influences the type of show to be presented.

In the survey, most responses centered around the ability of the diocesan paper to cover religious issues not touched in the dailies, and to 'give a sense of community and identity to the Church ·community.

Others saw its best function .as in-depth analysis and report-· ing of religious events, giving closer commentary of Church changes to stimulate' Catholic thinking.

Some commented on the permanence of the newspaper as compared with TV, with its subsequent use as a teaching aid because it could be referred to at any and all times.

Others felt that perhaps newspapers were better directed to the over-30 age group, who were used to this kind of news approach, with TV and radio directed towards capturihg the younger audience.

Improve Plan Pastoral Work' SAN FRANCISCO (Nc)-'-An agreement to help improve relationships within the parish has been proposed by the Association of Priests of the archdiocese of San Francisco.

The agreement is an attempt to establish or raise professional standards of the priestly works, according to its sponsors.

Priests promoting the agreement insist that it will in no way eliminate authority, which they concede as being necessary. The agreement is designed to spread authority around' in. the parish community, thus accomplishing parish work more effectively.

"The purpose of the agreement is to achieve collegiality in our pastoral work through a sharing of responsibilities, a deepening of mutual respect, and. the development of genuine trust," the Association of Priests stated in the agreement.

'Protest Poverty Nuns Among Demonstrators Arrested In Illinois Capitol

ST. LOUIS (NC)-Nearly 25,000 Catholic families-approximately 20 per cent of the total Catholic population of the archdiocese of St. Louis - are being mailed questionnaires inquiring of their family financial status and the education of children.

The mail survey is the first major step in a year-long research study of Catholic education in the archdiocese, being conducted by the Office of Educational Research at the University of Notre Dame. The study seeks to assess the resources, . operation, achievements, and expectations of the Catholic school system.

Planning for the )study began in January; completion is scheduled for some time in 1970.

The questionnaire being sent to families concentrates on income, home ownership, number of wage earners, and amount of weekly church contributions.

It also asks the number of school-age children and the kind of school-Catholic parish, private, public-they attend.

Father John N. Wurm, local supervisor of -the study for the Notre Dame researchers, said the intention is to learn the financial . resources of the Catholic population.

Other aspects of the educational research, slated for later in the year, will test the religious understanding of 8th grade and 12th grade students" and also will study the attitudes that Catholic parents, teachers, and school administrators have regarding the Catholic school system.

SAN JOSE (NC)-A constitutional challenge to California's relaxed abortion law was unsuccessful as a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge declined to rule on the law as ignoring the wishes of the father of an unborn child.

Judge Marshall S. Hall rejected a suit for an injunction sought by a man to prevent his wife from having an abortion. The suit was filed against the wife and her surgeon.

The plaintiff contended the abortion law is unconstitutional because it denies him, without due process of law, the right of fathering a child in marriage.

He said the law does not allow him to challenge the findings of a hospital committee which approved the abortion for his wife.

He said the abortion is contrary to his religious beliefs, and there is no substantial risk that his wife's physical or mental health will be endangered if the pregnancy continues.

Judge Hall said the court, under law, could not decide the issue on "philosophical or social grounds." "It is not for society to decide; it is the duty of the state legislature to determine whether abortion shall he permitted," he said.

Advances Cause Of Canonization CINCINNATI (NC) - Mother Frances Schervier, who founded the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor at. Aachen, Germany, in 1845, has been declared venerable by the Congregation of Rites in Rome.

In citing the 'heroic quality of the virtues in "her exemplary life," the Congregation of Rites advanced the cause of her canonization.

Announcement of the congregation's action came from the Cincinnati Area House of Government of the Sisters at St. Clare convent here.

Established in 1845 as a community for the service of the sick and the poor, Mother Frances' original group received the Franciscan habit in 1851 and became known as the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis.

For the past 10 years the American branch of the order has used the new name of Franciscan Sisters of the Poor.

The order's first American establishment was in Cincinnati, where a group of five Sisters came in 1858 to staff St. Mary hospital. Mrs. Sarah Peter, Cincinnati convert and influential lay woman, was instrumental in bringing the Sisters to the U. S. Twice before her death, which occurred Dec. 14, 1876, at the age of 57, Mother Frances visited the Sisters in the U. S. and encouraged them in the early establishments.

Vast, . Wealth of the Church

Continued from Page Three

"

There is a certain amount of talk these days about the "vast wealth" of the Vatican. And the follow-up comment is - Why isn't this used to feed the poor of the world.

The occasion of the Peter's Pence Collection this coming Sunday can serve to dip a little bit deeper into the matter.

The wealth of the Vatican is estimated to be about six billion' dollars. The money began with the grant from the Italian government forty years ago when the Lateran Treaty was signed. The Holy See gave up all claims to the vast areas of Italy that had been confiscated almost fifty years before that. The basic amount given has grown to a figure that is estimated to be about six billion.

That seems like a.. great amount of money. Just how much is it?

It amounts to about three per cent of· the federal budget of the 'United States for a single year.

It is about twice the budget for a single year for the city of New York.

It is just more than twice the wealth of the two richest Americans - Howard Hughes and John Paul Getty. .

It is about twice the estimated fortunes of the six Rockefellers.

And this is the sum total of the wealth of the Vatican.

If· this money were given to the 'poor of the world it would provide for their basic needs for three months.

They would be taken care of through August, September and October. And when November first came around the money would be gone and they would be hungry and needy still. .

What about the priceless paintings and statues and church buildings of the Vatican? Should the Pope sell the Sistine Chapel or Michelangelo's Pieta? Is there a market for St. Peter's Basilica?

These art treasures of the· Vatican are the cultural Rev. John F. Moore, St. Joseph's, Taunton heritage of the entire world. As such, it would not seem.

We must come to grips with in our democratic system if the majority of Americans adopt a backlash 'mentality'.

Certainly, this will occur if law and order mentalities become extreme.. AlI that we can expect from this attitude is a vigilante form of government.

There are times when a form of government such as ours must defend its existence, not against the world watchers, but, to the citizens of the country.

In this context, the hand-writing is on the wall for the people

a defect

as' their only source of support.

And, as Bishop Connolly points out in his letter on the subject, the missioners have not had to come to him but he has gone out to them as a modern "apostle on the go."

The Bishop asks not only for financial support to be sent to the Pope but for the daily prayers of the faithful for Pope Paul as he fulfills his responsibility as Peter in our day.

The text of the Bishop's letter follows: "Thou art' Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church."-St. Matthew 16:18.

Beloved il1 Christ: Once again we come to the season for remembering prayerfully and affectionately our Holy Father, Pope Paul VI. Sunday, August 3rd, and the Saturday Vigil, will be Peter's Pence time in the Diocese of Fall River. The collections taken up in all churches and chapels of the Diocese will be sent to support the Vicai' of Christ and encourage his many charities.

Pope Paul has an unenviable responsibility in our day. God knows, he is bearing up under it with strong faith and magnificent loyalty. A title dear to the Papacy is that of "servant of the servants of God." Seldom has this idea been better illustrated than in the person of Pope Paul.

He knows the homes of the poor.

As Archbishop of Milan, he was close to the working classes. He still is. He has described his pontificate as that of an "apostle on the go." The world has not had to seek him out. His pontificate has been marked by visits to the Americas, to India, to the Near East: He is at present preparing to go to Africa. All classes and kinds have been impressed by his sympathetic help in word and deed to those that hungered for faith and understanding.

We owe our Holy Father a constant, even, 'daily remembrance in prayer. We are invited to show our feeling of trust and love in our offering of material aid to his many needs. Let us continue the tradition of gratitude to Christ's Vicar on earth by our gifts, large and small.

And may all have the joy of interior peace, and assurance of peace among nations, through the benevolent influence of Pope Paul.

Fraternally yours in Christ, ~

JAMES L. CONNOLLY, Bishop' of Fall River.

The ordinary citizen must not allow himself to be caught-up in a wave of rage and reaction where reason and justice are blinded by the passions of a false patriotism.

There can be little doubt that the concept of public responsibil· ity will be most sorely tested within the next decade in this great Union.

Say Boundaries Affect Attitude Of Natiol1ls' WASHINGTON (NC) A study has appeared in a government publication here directing attention to the size and boundaries of sovereign nations round the world. It has a particular interest at this time, when so much attention is focused on outer space.

It is pointed out in the study that the preponderant number of the 136 sovereign states in the world have "limited dimensions," which may frequently lead to "cramped" national outlooks, and that boundaries as they are drawn can ha\(e an influence on "attitudes" in different domains.

While Americans tend to think of their nation as having far· reaching horizons, which it does, the Soviet Union comes within 10 longitudinal degrees (less than 600 miles) of stretching half-way round the earth.

The Soviet Union, embracing 8,649,000 square miles is the largest sovereign state, while Vatican City, with 0.2 square miles of territory, is the smallest.

The six largest countries-the Soviet Union, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil and Australia - together exceed in area the remaining 130 countries combined.

The United States alone is comparable in area to the 83 smallest countries put together, including New Zealand, Poland, Italy, Norway, and the Philippines.

Average Size If the total area of all countries were to be divided by the number of countries, the general average would be 361,000 square miles. Tanzania would most nearly approach this area. However, Tanzania ranks 28th in. area.

If all the nations were listed according to size from the largest to the smallest, Ghana and Romania, each with an area of approximately 92,000 miles, would be the two countries standing in the middle. By this method of calculation, they would be considered more nearly "average size." Sixty-seven coun. tries are larger, and 67 are smaller than these two.

On this latter basis, Oregon and Wyoming are each a little larger than the median countries.

Oregon, then is larger than one half the countries in the world.

Even Connecticut, a smaller state, exceeds 18 countries in size.

Speaking on behalf of Bishop Jerome Fernandez of Quilon, Msgr. Peter Thekkevilayil, vicar general and chairman of the college's managing board, told a press conference here that the teachers were discharged because several courses were suspended this year on account of a shortage of students and lack of room.

Young Parisian Makes Many Discoveries During Year of Study in United States

Ordain Anglican Priest Deacon

By Patricia Francis

When Pierre Macaire, 19, boarded a liner in New York yesterday for his return ttip to his Paris home, he carried with him a different view of the United States than he had a year ago. He discussed his reactions last week .at S1. Anne Rectory in New Bedford, where he was a guest of Msgr. Armand Levasseur, pastor, a friend of Pierre's family.

Pierre, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marcel Macaire of Paris, arrived in the United States last August for a year of study and "getting to understand Americans."

An American Field Service exchange student, he lived with the Richard Smith family in Travers City, Mich., and attended Northwestern Michigan Junior College there.

And there - and during his visit with Msgr. LevasseurPierre began to see a "different" United States.

"What we imagine is that we will find every city one such as \'lew York, for example, with a lot of modernism - and every American a very rich personand everything more perfect than in Europe, because this is a richer nation and more progressive.

Sporadic Improvements "I found that in part, but I found, too, that this is a country no more developed than Europe in some ways, with lots of problems - with poverty, }Vith old buildings and old things I didn't expect to see. Here you have lots of improvements, but they aren't pushed through to the end, they are very sporadic.

"What I expected, I found in Montreal-a very modern city."

Pierre emphasizes that he is not "criticizing the USA. I was not disappointed. I just had a wrong idea about it. I thought maybe-because your moon program and the latest gadget is what we' hear about first-that this would be like the 23rd century."

American education gave Pierre another jolt. .

During his last year. in high school in Paris, he explains, he majored in philosophy and studied French, English (for the 7th year), mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, history and geography. "We go to school 7 or 8 hours a day six days a week," he says, with "one afternoon off."

Consequently, when he first entered· the Senior class in a high school in Travers City: "I was surprised to see students could choose their own subjects - and only take about five subjects a year. And the teachers seemed not so interested in teaching their own subjects as in talking about things students were more interested in -like air pollution and national and regional problems. We have to take examinations in subjects and we have to know about them in detail. We would talk about politics and other things outside of classes."

P,ure Knowledge Lacking In other words, Pierre feels, "there is a general lack of pure knowledge among the kids because the teachers are too interested in them as individuals and not as interested in giving them pure knowledge."

After a week in high school, Pierre shifted to the junior college, which he found "more like a French high school. The only thing was, I was very surprised to see the basis of a term was only three months. I think you need education in a subject at least a year-and even that is very short."

SYDNEY (NC)-A former Anglican priest who is married and has three children has been ordained a Catholic deacon and said he is looking forward to be· coming a Catholic priest.

The new deacon, the Rev. Peter Rushton, 42, is the fourth married man to be ordained a deacon in Australia. Archbishop Guilford Young of Hobart performed the ordination.

The Rev. Rushton, who was an Anglican priest for six years, expects to be ordained a priest in October for the Hobart archdiocese, where he will take a teaching post.

The three other married former Anglican clergymen were ordained deacons in May by Arch· bishop Launcelot Goody of Perth.

Those three - the Rev. John Lisle, the Rev. Frederick Beyer and the Rev. Rodney Williams -are living with their families and carryinng out the duties of deacons in parishes until their ordination to the priesthood, ex· pected later this year.

Urges Elimination Of Minor Seminary

MSGR. LEVASSEUR and PIERRE MACAIRE Again, he emphasized, he was "not criticizing, I just want' to say things are very' different."

Teen-age dating was another American phenomenon t hat Pierre had some reservations about.

He feels there is too much dependence here. "In America, kids are getting married at 1701' 1B and then they're supposed to get a college education, so their parents pay for it.

"In France, if you are married, you hav~ your own home and you are supposed to be sufficiently mature to take care of yourself. It is our responsibility and we are supposed to make our own way of life with the girL" He feels a compromise between American freedom and French restraint could benefit both American and French teenagers.

Religion was another different view for Pierre, who is a Catholic.

Living Faith "Here you have 240 different congregations and they all have beautiful churches' and new churches. You have on your money, "In God We Trust.' You aren't surprised to see President Johnson say on television he is making a prayer for peace in Vietnam and to ask the people to make prayers, too.

"That couldn't happen in France. France was a' strong Catholic co.untry, but during the 3rd Republic there was a lot of laicization.

"Lots of Catholics, who are baptized and registered as Catholics, go to church the first time to be baptized. The next time is for making First Communion.

The next time when they are married and the last time is for their funeral.

"In my country, Catholics and

Communists live together and no one knows what you are.

Some people laugh if you say you believe in God." In America, on the other hand, "you can be free, whatever your religion-and say what you want about it."

Pierre's' father is in the Police Department ·in what is known as the department of Security of Important Persons, which perhaps compares with the Secret Service. Hi's brother, Michel, also is with the French police in a different department.

Pierre himself hopes to matriculate in the Sorbonne in the Fall to major in history.

The big barrier to entering the university . is the examination given at the end of high school.

"You must pass it to enter the university," Pierre says, explaining it is "not expensive to go to the university, but it is hard to."

Then, "for at least four years," Pierre will study "in one field.

In France, general education is done in high school. The university is for getting knowledge in depth about your major."

Not Same French Pierre left the United States with different ideas about it than he had when he came almost a year ago. He was not disappointed, he was just surprised.

MALIBU (NC)-An educator advocated that candidates for religious life be received after they complete two years of college work. He recommended the "preferred time" would be after they have obtained bachelor's degrees.

Dr. William C. Webster, II, vice-president for academic affairs and dean of Edgecliffe College, Cincinnati, addressing the 24th annual American Franciscan Society meeting here in Califor· nia, said' completion of high school studies should be "the bare minimum" requirement for religious life candidates.

This, he continued, would eliminate minor seminaries and enable candidates "to develop socially and heterosexually."

Some day, he hopes to return again-both to this country and to Canada where he also was surprised.

"They speak French, but it is not the same French-and they say they are not French, they are Canadians." , The language difference amused Msgr. Levasseur.

"Not even in France in different parts is the language the sam~," he reminded Pierre. "We use the same dictionary and wonder why it isn't the same French, but it isn't.

The monsignor invited Pierre to visit New Bedford so that he would have an oportunity to see the East.

"The last time I saw him," Msgr. L,evasseur said, looking at his young guest," was when he was about that high," and he motioned to about chair arm level.

Today, Pierre is 6 feet 1. He has changed as much as have his ideas.

_4l.

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick We have just come across a bound volume of the Illustrated London News for 1867. It is a huge volume, complete with etchings, and although it does not have much market value, it is interesting to look back 102 years to see what was going on.

Our next stop was the fairly For instance, one of the new wax museum', which was first items to catch my eye well worth the trip down. In was a piece entitled "Dr. very realistic settings the story

I.;ivingstone's Travels." This included a letter from Dr. Livingstone describing the possibilities of colonization of Mombas in Africa. Alas, this is followed 250 pages later by an article entitled "The Fate of Dr. Livingstone," describing how he met his end.

Of course, we know that he was discovered much later by Spencer Tracy, who uttered the famous words which I shall avoid repeating.

Times Unchl'nged One look through the ads and one realizes that times have not changed admen. Here is one I particularly enjoyed: "Painless System of Dentistry: Artificial teeth without springs." Another, "* * * Rowland's Macassar Oil and after applying it for about two months, had his hair quite restored, and' now possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require comment."

A look at the court cases was equally interesting: "A man nearly 70 years old was taken before the magistrate on charges of bigamy." Also in the courts was a case against several youths who drove a dray so' as to endanger the lives of several pedestrians.

Of note to Americans is refence to the impeachment of President Johnson and a number of references to horrible massacres being perpetrated by Indians throughout the "ravaged frontier." , .'

Finally I found the· following enough to bring me back to the present without the least bit of nostalgia: "The deaths from bronchitis in the last three weeks (in London) were 399, 271, and 204; fron< pneumonia 95, 92 and 87. Forty-seven deaths from sm~lIpox, 68 from whooping cough, and 42 from typhus were registered last week."

In the Kitchen I felt it was a bit ironic that the day our men landed on the moon we had taken the children to ,view the spot where Pilgrims landed in America. As I stood next to that historic rock and listened to the young guide spiel off his description of how that brave little band had finally found refuge on the wild shore of New England, the moon didn't seem so far away after all.

If you haven't been to this home of the pilgrims, Plymouth in quite a while you'll find it a~ delightful as ever' with even a few more historical treats for the children. Because we had already viewed the replica of the Mayflower and the Pilgrim village, we were looking for something a bit different this time.

Wax Museum We found our first treat when a horse and carriage drew up alongside our little band and the charming driver offered to take us on a ride along the water-. front for a nominal fee. Jason thought this was just the greatest and as we jogged along at a nice leisurely pace we were able to get a little different view of the town.

of the Pilgrim's flight from England and of the first few years of hardship in this country is unfolded before the eyes of the viewer.

Just to' show you that one is never too old to learn, two of the facts that I picked up' while viewing the wax show were that because the Pilgrim women were put ashore, on a Monday to wash all the dirty linen they had accumulated on their voyage, Mondays have always been thought of as washdays and that lobster, as well as that famous turkey, .'was served at the first Thanksgiving dinner. . \ The fact that so many pf us live so near this lovely historical town and fail to visit it was brought to my attention when I looked at .the vast array of ,num,bel' plates from every nook and cranny of our .country in the town's parking lots. Out-of-staters appear to realize the importance of Plymouth more than do we natives.With blueberries in abundance in our markets, here's a delightful way to use this fruit of fruits.

This recipe was given over a I~cal radio station.

Blueberry Tarts With Orange Sauce 1;4 cup shortening Yz cuP. suga.r 1 teaspoon vanilla I egg, beaten 112 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder .

Yz teaspoon salt Yz cup milk I cup blueberries 1) Cream together the shortening and sugar. . 2) Add the vanilla and beaten egg..

3) Sift. together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

4) Add alternately to the creamed mixture the sifted dry ingredients and the milk, ending with the dry ingredients.

5) Fold in the blueberries.

(6) 'Grease 6 custard cups,' fill % full and bake in a 350· oven for 30 minutes.

Orange Sauce 1f.J cup sugar

2 Tablespoons cornstarch 1;4 teaspoon salt 1f.J cup light corn syrup 1 cup orange juice .2 Tablespoons grated orange rind 1) Mix together all the ingredients and cook in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture is clear.

2) Remove from heat and add 2 Tablespoons of butter.

3) When tarts have cooled enough to remove from cups poke a few holes in them and cover with the warm sauce, this way the sauce penetrates the tart.

(This is more like a large blueberry muffin than it is a tart but that is the name that the original recipe gave so I didn't feel I should change it. The sauce does give it a different flavor. The next time I make them I'm going to try them in my muffin pans instead of the custard cups.)

Conducted under the auspices of the Holy Union of the Sacred Hearts, campers are picked up daily by bus and then spend a day in a variety of programs.

The staff consists of Holy Union Sisters, lay counsellors and a certified swimming instructor.

All activities and phases of the camp program were closely supervised by members of the staff and instructions in the various activities produced adept archers, badminton stars, modern and square dancers, and swimmers.

The final results of the program will be in evidence at a water show and talent show that were the objects of the various programs.

Tri-parish Corporation To Rehabilitate Houses DENVER (NC)-Three Denver parishes have formed the TriParish Development Corporation, a non-profit housing corporation to rehabilitate 30 low cost houses for low income faJllilies.

The corporation: is the largest of 16 similar housing corporations within the Denver area, most of which have undertaken renewal of from five to eight units at a time. The Federal Housing Authority has' approved plans for the $420,000 undertaking.

The project is part of the federal· H-221 program which authorizes non-profit org~niiations to buy and rehabilitate run down homes, and then locate low income families who qualify to buy the houses at low interest rates.

The federal government pays the difference between the going i{lterest rate and the low rate charged poverty families.

Father Donald Dunn, associate director of Catholic Charities, who serves as secretary for the corporation, said the reasons for participating in the program are two-fold. Not only will some families have better housing, but the rehabilitation of older homes within the neighborhoods will tend ~o upgrade the entire area, making it a better place to live.

Is Lots of Knits for Fall

M'Qve t'o Curb Abortion Fails

By Marilyn Roderick There was a time when home made knitted garments looked just that-home made. Sweaters were fine, scarfs and hats, while not fashionable, at least looked cutie but little toddlers were the only ones who looked at all stylish in knitted dresses. Welt fashion has been known to to the conclusion that knitting is my "thing." . do a complete switch, and notBut if anything could woo me this is the year that knitting back or change my decision it

takes over. If you're at all handy with those. needles, you'll be as much in demand as the one who plays the piano at路 parties.

Nieces will suddenly remember that you're their favorite a u nt, grandmothers will be besieged to knit one, purl two, and mothers will find their daughters pointing out the . knitted styles that they would just love to have for Fall; for this is the year of the "knit."

I have already told Grandma Roderick that Jason could use a little something knitted with which to start nursery school.

Hand-knitted garments (in my eyes) have 'always had a rich look about them but even though I did love the look of knits I must admit that the styles in suits and. dresses were strictly corn.

And I couldn't imagine why anyone would go through all that money to come out with such a "blah" fashion jook. Just a peek at this year's styles certainly proves otherwise and I wish I had paid a little more attention to my knitting over the years.

Sweater for Joe My first attempt at knitting anything decent began the first Summer I was married. Not one to start out with small projects, I decided to knit my new husband a sweater. That Summer Joe and I were counselors at a day camp and luckily for me (but not for her) the camp nurse knew how to knit. She spent her every spare moment picking. up the stitches I dropped and unraveling my errors. When I finally did finish the fire engine red sweater, its sleeves stretched below Joe's knees.

Since that first introduction to knitting I have managed to complete a few other projects, none of which has won any plaudits or praise; and I have truly come

Office Drops Charges Against Demonstrator WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Attorney's office and the office of the District of Columbia Corporation Counsel dropped charges against a demonstrator arrested at St. Matthew's cathedral here July 20.

James P. Gibbons, a leader of ."teach-ins" staged by the Center for Christian Renewal, was arrested at St. Matthew's when he began reading a letter aloud dur. ing the 12:30 Mass. He was charged by police with disorderly conduct and unlawful entry.

The Center for Christian Renewal has been conducting a series' of "teach-ins" at St. Matthew's to protest against what it terms "institutional racism." The group has contended that money allocated for church building should be lIsed for antipoverty projects.

would certainly be a peek at the new edition of McCall's Needlecraft Magazine for Fall and Winter. Capes, pantsuits, messy sweaters, plaid knits, embroidered knits, flowered knits, you name it and there seems to be a pattern for it.

Rich looking metalJic yarns can be worked into a sparkly shimmery dressy gress to light the dull Winter evenings ahead.

Knitting worsted is whipped up into a stunning pant outfit with a Nordic motif that would cost a small fortune if purchased ready-made, and mohair yarns are hand worked into a fashionplus cape outfit.

Aran Styles Those fabulous Aran inspired styles are still very important on the creative scene and one company has a collection of pattens using this style that can be knitted to create little girls' dresses.

Also noticeable on the handiwork scene for Fall is that more and more manufacturers are' coming out with patterns using washable yarns. No more do you have to fear that after many tedious hours of labor someone will accidentally toss .a handknitted garment into the washer and dryer and you'll end up with another doll's outfit. No, this season handknits are practical as well as pretty and they even have me giving them a second thought.

Plans Low-Cost Housing Without Outside Aid TRENTON (NC) - Without benefit of usual outside financial aid, Father Richard Thibeau, S.V.D., has undertaken a low-cost housing project in Trenton's inner city.

The society of the Divine Word missioner officiated at the groundbreaking for a two-story, five-bedroom home which will be bought by Mrs. Betty Wood, cook at Our Lady of the Divine Shepherd Cultural Center, where Father Thibeau is director. Amain program at the center is a child care project of children of working parents.

Father Thibeau said no federal, state or city funds are involved in his low-cost housing project.

The initial building is being financed 路by savings in the center's budget. Father Thibeau said he plans to build scores of homes for inner-city residents.

Name Layman President Of Marymount College TARRYTOWN (NC)-John J. Meng, widely-known educator and former president of Hunter College in New York City, has been named the first lay president of Marymount College, a 62-year-old Catholic women's college here.

Dr. Meng comes to Marymount from Fordham University, where he has served for the last three years as executive vice-president. He succeeds Sister Brendan McQuillan, R.S.H.M., who served as president of Marymount since 1960.

Need N,ewspaper Washington Prelate Urges Faithful Give Financial Help YAK I M A (NC) - Newlyinstalled Bishop Cornelius M. Power of Yakima.has called upon subscribers to Our Times, diocesan newspaper, to help it with financial problems.

"Let me hasten to assure you that the need has not been created because of any extravagant new expenditure on the part of Our Times. It is simply that this year we have chosen a different way of meeting our annual deficit.

"In former years, the 38 parishes of the diocese were assessed; this year, it is proposed that we go directly to the subscribers for financial help," the bishop said in a letter to subscribers.

The bishop's letter was accompanied by a statement from Father John H. Pearson, editor of the paper which explained the

Jesuit College to Join London University LONDON (NC) - The Jesuit college and house of studies at Heythrop near Oxford is expected to move into central Londo'n and become an integral part of London University.

The move, which will provide considerable benefits for theological and other university students in general, is planned for late next路 year,. if ratified as expected later in July by the London University senate. It comes after months of negotiations, during which the Jesuit college with its high educational standing and valuable library has been strongly wooed. by several other universities.

The' Second Vatican Council called for such ties between theological colleges and the. universities and the importance of Heythrop moving into London would be that Jesuit and non-Jesuit, Catholic and non-Catholic teachers and students would be able to approach their theology in an ecumenical setting.

Eventually it is hoped the laity would be involved. Some courses have been given by laymen at Heythrop over the past few years.

paper this year is $15,600 short of the operations goal. The statement called upon subscribers to mail in contributions as soon as possible.

Bishop Power, who became h d f h d' . M 'd ea 0 t e IOcese In ay, sal , "I have heard good things and bad, favorable and uncomplimentary, about Our Times." He said he proposes to establish "an advisory committee,' composed of clergy, Religious and laity, whose first task will be to study every phase of Our Times" and to "make its own analysis." The bishop said he will depend on the committee for advice and direction.

"I believe that a Catholic newspaper is needed now more than ever before; that Catholic news is made and read more today than even a few years ago; that daily secular new'spapers are necessarily limited in in-depth coverage of Catholic news," the bishop said.

Money spent on myself may be a millstone about my neck; money spent on others may give me wings like the angels.

LONDON (NC)-House of Commons rejection of the move 'led

by Catholic member Norman St. John-Stevas to curb the unrestricted freedom granted to doctors under the controversial Abortion Act, reflects the growing concern of all parties with the law.

Commons voted 210 to 199 to defeat St. John-Stevas' amendment.

St. Johl')-Stevas said he was "immensely encouraged" by the "remarkable" shift of opinion in the Commons, only 29 of whose members had voted against the original Abortions Bill when presented for its crucial second reading in 1967.

"It shows that the anxiety in the country over the working of the act is now being reflected in the House," he added.

He said the campaign against unrestricted legalized abortion in Britain would go on and he urged the government to reassure the public by appointing an impartial committee to establish the facts of the si(uation and recommend changes in the law.

The Labor party government has all along been for the Abortions Act, allowing it exceptional parliamentary priority in its long process onto the statute book after it was introduced privately by a member of the opposing Liberal party, David Steel. But a general election is due here within the next 18 months and the government has to play its cards carefully.

Moon Landing Shows Omniscience of God MIAMI (NC) Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll of Miami said man's conquest of the moon is ample evidence he can conquer the "immense problems confronting him in earth."

The archbishop was among those who witnessed the launching of Apollo 11 at Cape Kennedy, Fla. "With the same determination, the same enthusiasm, the same energy used to place an astronaut upon the moon, man cer-\ tainly can conquer the immense problems confronting him on earth," the archbishop said.

Archbishop Carroll said "despite all the wonderful advantages" accomplished by the moon landing, it "should bring home all the more forcefully that there can be no doubt of the omniscience of Almighty God" and should deepen, strengthen and awaken the faith of every human being.

For Espionage BONN (Nc)- ACatholic priest and seminarian were sentenced to prison terms for espionage in Belgrade, while the Yugoslavian communist newspaper Borba criticized increasing Church pressure on the country's institutions.

It was reported here' that Father Janko Stanic and, theology student Aleksander Pipilevski were sentenced to terms of four years and 18 months, respectively, after being found guilty by a Belgrade court of helping to build up an espionage ring under the orders of 11 Yugoslav emigrant living in Italy, Meanwhile, Borba, organ of the Yugoslav Communist party, reported allegedly increased pressure by the Catholic Church in the country on Yugoslavia's political and social institutions, The paper also said the Church was ,making greater efforts to influence the young, Borba said representatives of the Catholic and Orthodox churches in the country had "even" asked that "neutral teachers" be employed iri the country's schools to teach religion, as well as atheistic ideology, Seek Equa! ,Time The annual circulation of Catholic papers and magazines in Yugoslavia has risen from 250,000 copies in 1961 to nearly 11 million last year, Borba reported.

The most' widely read of these publicatios is Glas Koncila (Voice of the Council) which has dealt with social issues as well , as religious matters, : Glas Koncila opposed, for instance, official proposals for the liberalization of y'guoslavia's abortion laws, and called on Catholic doctors not to perform even legally permitted abortions.

The communist paper also claimed that the Catholic Church in recent months had intensified efforts to have time on radio and television equal to that given political organizations to express their views.

Reach Agreement With Hospitals CHARLESTON (NC}-A settlement between striking nonprofessional hospital workers and Charleston County Hospital came three weeks after agreement was , reached with the South Carolina Medical University Hospital. Both hospitals were struck March 20 by a total of 600 workers.

The second hospital to bargain with the Negro women who, walked out in an effort to gain union recognition and higher wages did not reach agreement as soon as the larger University Hospital because of a dispute over which workers· would be rehired.

The University Hospital, in its agreement, rehired all those who, had been striking, but the County Hospital did not want to displace those who had been hired to keep the hospital operating during the strike.

The agreement with the County Hospital, which was reached July 18, stated that 42 of the '69 workers will be rehired immediately and the others will be rehired as soon as possible within a three-month period.

Bishop Cites Cornerstones of Scout Law Urges

Trustworthiness~

FARRAGUT STATE PARK (NC}-Bishop ,William G. Connare of Greensburg, .Pa., told a group of Catholic Boy Scouts attending 'a nationwide gathering of scouts here in Idaho that trustworthiness, obedience and reverence are the "cornerstones" of the sC6ut law.

Bishop Connare, epis'copal moderator of the U. S. Bishops' Committee on·' Scouting, delivered his homily at a concelebrated Mass during the Seventh National Boy Scout Jamboree· here. More than 35,000 scouts, representing 50 states, attended the jamboree, along with some 35 scouts from as far a~ay as Guam, Labrador, Argentina and Thailand.

Bishop Connare stressed three of the 12 major point!! of the Scout Law, because,. he said, they are the cornerstonell on which the others rest: (a scout is) Trustworthy, Obedient and Reverent."

The new prefecture covers the whole civil district of Fort Johnston as well as the major part of the Kasupe district. It has a population of 430,000 of which 45,000 are Catholic.

"You are well along the way to making your mark in life," the bishop continued, "because the worldly-wise, always seek young men who are responsible, dependable, trustworthy."

The Pennsylvania prelate asserteda scout will never be trustworthy unless he is first obedient. ' "Being o~ed'ient," he said,' "is the 'heart of the matter.

The Administration, as might be expected, "didn't get the Pope's approval," Scott noted. It. merely informed the Pontiff a plan was forthcoming to make. more birth control services available to more women, he said.

Scott added that the advance notification was merely a matter of courtesy.

President Nixon's recent message to Congress included an assurance that federal birth control programs would not be "allowed to infringe upon the religious convictions or personal wishes and freedom of any individual."

Duty to ,God Discussing the' notion of reverence, Bishop Connare said it is "that honor or respect you feel or show to another. When that 'other one' is God, being reverent reaches its highest expression. It simply means a willingness on your part to recognize and do your duty to God * * *.

"As you grow older, being reverent means clearly and quickly seeing the presence of God in people," the bishop asserted. "It means the daily putting into practice of your scout promise 'to help other people at all times' * * * May this be the pattern of your life always, simply because God says you will find Him in people and in the chance to' help in their needs.

"In one of America's oldest and best loved traditions," Bishop Connare said, "being reverent means recognizing the religious convictions of your neighbor, even when these differ from your own. It means allowing , their expression in forms dear to your neighbor, however much' these might differ from your own way of worshipping God."

DENVER (NC}-A five-point "white manifesto" was read by Rev. Malcolm Boyd, an Episcopalian priest and author, at an interfaith communion service celebrated jointly with a Lutheran pastor and a Catholic priest.

Father Thomas Rauch, S. J., teacher at Regis College here and local chairman of Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam, and the Rev. Ken Sherman, pastor of the Missouri Synod's Immanuel Lutheran Church in Buffalo, N.Y., together with Father Boyd blessed or consecrated loaves of bread and bottles of wine and distributed them to persons wishing to receive.

The "white manifesto" supported James Forman's black manifesto and urged radical reform of all major religions through sharp changes in authority. Father Boyd accused American Christianity of being spiritually deadened, "essentially white in its self-image," marked by economic idolatry, and failing to respond positively to the black manifesto. " The five-point manifesto Father Boyd read called on Catholics and Protestants to start small new ecumenical communities under local control all over the United States.

It said Christians should no longer donate money to "bureaucratic church structures" but give it, instead, to correct social injustices blamed on organized religions in the United States by Forman when he issued his own manifesto three months ago in Detroit.

Christians in India Plu"., F'\olitical Party SIMLA (NC) - A National Christian Democratic Party has been formed here at a meeting of Christians from various parts of the India.

Aims of the new party includ,e the ending of alleged "foreign exploitation" of Indian Christians, expulsion of "foreign spies in the garb of missionaries" and protection of the interests of all minority communities in the country.

The Indian government's position has been that new missionaries will be admitted into the country only if they possess outstanding'qualifications of specialized experience and no suitable ,Indians are available for the work.

SAIGON (NC) - Foreign correspondents were called

by South Vietnam's President Nguyen Van Thieu to

Income Housing

a news conference at which he renewed his offer of internationally supervised elections in South Vietnam.

The President expressed his regret that the first offer, mad~ July 11 had been hastily rejected by the communists.

Referring to some recent remarks of his Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, President Thieu told the correspondents that he was the president of South Vietnam, and in the country, the president makes the decisions.

Thus he made it clear that the Vice-President was expressing only personal opinions in saying recently that South Vietnam should leave the Paris Peace conference since the communists had rejected all offers. Ky's point was that South Vietnam could not make any more concessions without surrendering their country.

President Thieu stated that he had not reached a decision on the form the supervised elections might take. Replying to a question, he thought that Japanese delegates might assist in the supervision of the elections.

NEWARK (NC)-Newark archdiocesan agency and a local financial institution have joined forces to make mortgage loans available to families from lowincome areas.

Collaborating are the Mt. Carmel Guild, the archdiocese's chief social welfare agency and the Carteret Savings and Loan Association. Announcement of the program was made by Msgr. Joseph A. Dooling, director of the guild, and Anthony M. Surano, president of Carteret. . Mortgages for seven homes have already been provided with loans of $105,000 under a program to which Carteret has pledged $1 million in loan money.

Forced to Move Practically all who will be helped in buying their own homes are now living in an area scheduled for demolition as a prelude to const.ruction of the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry in the heart of Newark's black ghetto.

The Mt. Carmel Guild is one of the principal relocation agencies designated by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. The agency is making the referrals to Carteret.

The program is carried out out urider terms of the 1968 National Housing Act which pro'vides subsides to', help low-income families meet, interest payments. The Federal' Housing and Urban Development program pays the lending institution the difference between the prevailing interest rate and the interest rate charged the purchaser. Under the program, low-income families can purchase homes valued up to $20,000 WIth a down payment as low as $200.

The bishop was quick to praise efforts being made for the migrants, but said there is still a long way to go. He believes that education and retraining hold the key to ending the hardships of people "who are forced to come up (to the North) to follow the crops."

Citing improvements and programs initiated -to help migrants, the bishop praised the establishment of health' clinics in the fields, day care centers for children, night schools and industrial vocational programs, which he saw on his tour and in his own diocese.

He said industries in the Rio Grande valley of the diocese have established programs which allow migrants to learn 21 skills in suc.h fields as .welding, the operatIOn and mamtenance of machinery, home economics and family budgeting.

SANTIAGO (NC) -

THE ANCHORThurs., July 31, 1969

Lift Suspension Of Magazine

A

group of parents has charged that Marxism has infiltrated the teaching at St. George's college here, managed by U. S. priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross.

The official statement by college authorities said the charge of Marxist infiltration was an absolute falsehood.

The charges were made by parents of students, the great majority of whom are from wealthy families, at a meeting in which strong opposition was voiced to the ideological character of the education provided at the college. The college is under the jurisdiction of the Indiana province of the Holy Cross congregation.

ThE: parents complained that a group of students taking higher studies at the college led by Religious and lay professors held a seminar on social and educational subjects in which radical ideas and theories generally critical of capitalism were advocated.

The parents said a performer sang a song at the meeting in which the 路former minister of the interior, Perez Zujovic, was characterized as a "murderer."

Zujovic was in office when. the P9lice intervened in an illegal occupation of a slum clearance project in the Puerto Montt section of this city and the resulting clash caused the deaths of eight persons and the wounding of several others.

Riots Erupt In the Puerto Montt disturbance 路several hundred, townspeople gathered at the site of a government housing project and were addressed by militant socialists. They finally decided to occupy the land and riots erupted when the police tried to clear the site.

In a different statement, the Secondary Center of National Students, a rightist political group, claimed that Marxist . propaganda is rampant at public and private colleges-under the guise of cultural and artistic activities-with the knowledge of school authorities and the minis-, ter of education.

At their meeting, the parents' group decided to bypass the college authorities and establish a supervisory board of their own to oversee the moral formation of the students.

The college authorities have denied the charges made at the parents' meeting and said that parents who disagree with the institution's educational policies or doubt the professional quality of the faculty can withdraw their sons from the school.

KINSHASA (NC) - Congolese President Joseph Mobutuhas lifted the ban on a Catholic weekly, it was announced here

by Minister of Information Jean Jacques Kande.

The weekly, Afrique Chreti路 enne '(Christian Africa), was banned last January because, according to the suspension order, it had published a "tendentious editorial, visibly inspired by subversive groups, with the goal of sowing confusion in the coun路 try and of provoking social disturbances."

In the editorial, the weekly stressed the contrast between what it described as the great misery of Congolese masses and the luxury enjoyed by certain persons in positions of authority.

At the time of the suspension, the weekly's editor-in-chief, Cyrille Momote, was arrested and questioned by the police.

Founded in 1961, Afrique Cretienne had, at the time of the suspension, a circulation of 20,000.

Public School Seale Brother' Theodore Drahmann, F.S.C., principal of Cretin High school, St. Paul, and a member of the archdiocesan board of education, said the six schools in the archdiocese at which the Christian Brothers teach-Beni1de, St. Louis Park, Minn; Brady, West St. Paul; Cretin, St. Paul; De LaSalle, Minneapolis; Grace, Fridley, Minn.; and Hill, Maplewood, Minn.-,-have adopted last year's St. Paul public school pay ~a~.

-' This schedule, Burke said, calls for a minimum wage of $6,400 and a maximum of about $10,700 for a bachelor's degree.

He added that most of the high schools in the archdiocese have adopted this minimum wage but have not adopted the salary scale for wage maximums.

The salary scales for those holding. master's degrees in the Christian Brothers' schools is a minimum of about $7,200, compared to last year's $5,800. This salary scale is effective for the coming ,year according to the archdiocesan bureau of education .

BIRMINGHAM (NC)-Dr. Harold Roberts, leading Methodist representative in the unity talks with the Church of England, declared that enough agreement exists between the Roman Catholic and non-episcopal Churches to justify exploring every avenue toward corporate unity.

Preaching in St. Chad's Catholic cathedral here in England, Dr. Roberts called the changed relations between Catholicism and Protestantism "the most significant event in the Christian world in recent years." In many cases, their disagreements were the result of a misunderstanding of position, he said.

"The major conflict today is between a secular humanism or indeed nihilism and a way of life centered in the revelation of, God," he added. "All reunion conversations should therefore be reviewed in the light of the mission of the Church in the contemporary world.

"Churches that are unable to find a way of becoming reconciled to each other have no authority to proclaim a gospel of reconciliation in the world today."

Offers Dialogue With Parents

Avers Student Protes,ters Should Work for. Change

By Barbara Ward Studerit protest is enormously healthy i~ that it s~o.ws an aroused conscience among those who might be slttmg back and taking their privileges for granted. But stude~t protest is not having the effect it might, for much of It takes intellectual forms . , which a great majority of Without some shIft from prIvate . . . to public spending the scandal of fellow cItizens are Simply New York will continue, Where not prepared to think about. decent buildings are torn down In Atlantic societies, with their faint buf not entirely extinguished Christian background, . . the "cry for jus- " tice, equality" a nd goodwill toward men will never go completely unheeded. But accompany the cry with the assertion, that none of these things can be achieved , unless the social orde'r is completely overthrown and the potential audience fades away.

But thiS would be a tragic outcome. Societies disintegrate if reforming energies weaken.

The student body in the Atlantic world· ha's tremendous potential power. In America, for instance, 30 per cent of the college age group receive some form of higher education. Five years from now, they will make up a very large percentage of voters, 10 years from now their electoral influence could be decisive.

Irresistible Forces If now, they would begin to

formulate the major reforms they wish to see introduced into American society, establish a broad enough .student acceptance of those aims and then go out into the political arena and insist, as voters, on getting the reforms adopted, they would quickly become an irresistible .force.

This process may be less personally exciting than breaking windows or besieging deans. But the acts of defiance have caught the nation's attention. Now,·is the time to prepare something which peopteare ready to hear. , Let us take one possible example. One of the evils of contemporary'life in the United States is the inadequacy of the funds it devotes to great public needs and purposes. Their share in gross national product (the sum of all the goods and services produced by the nation) is. under .30 per cent and this is less than is spent by such societies as Sweden or West Germany. It is also'diminished in its social impact by the fact that over a quarter is spent on arms.

Yet it is clear that America desperately needs more capital for .its cities, for its schools, for parks and open spaces, to fight creeping pOllution, to put order into its traffic, to put a floor under poverty, to improve public health.

All ,these g~eat needs of a more just and beautiful social order demand public expenditure.

SANTIAGO (NC)"':-'St. George's college here, managed by U. S. priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross, has invited all Pllrents to open constructive dialogue after a group of them charged that the school is teaching Marxism. .

At an earlier meeting the parents' group had voiced strong opposition to the ideological character of the education provided 'at the college, At the meeting the parents decided to bypass the college authorities and establish a supervisory board of their own to oversee the moral formation of the students, the great majority of whom are from wealth'y families.

The college authorities denied

the charges and defended the institutional pedagogical policy and the educational philosophy motivating it as well as the faculty itself.

In its latest statement, the college invited all parents to participate actively in joint meetings with college personnel in order to inform themselves about the colleges' philosophy, programs and activities.

The statement was signed by the principal of the college and president of its administrative council,- Father George E. Highberger, C.S.C., of the Holy Cross Fathers' Indiana province. The college is under the jurisdiction of that province.

Pioneer Pilot Books Expos ure Program Receives Contribution from Diocese

PlI'otest College D'ean's Dismissal

"We thought they'd stolen the books." That's what mothers of Fall River youngsters in the Books Exposure Program said when they marched their offspring to participating schools to return books that had been brought horne. They were surprised and delighted to be told that the books were indeed gifts to their children. Presentation of four books yearly to children in the program is only one of the unique features of Books Exposure.

The program, expla,in Fall River organizers, "is a research project sponsored by the Coun-' cil for Public Schools in Boston and by the National Book Committee in New York City."

Gertrude Wilson of Harvard University is coordinating the program.

"Basic purpose of the program is to encourage children to read for their own enjoyment," says James F. Nicoletti, area director.

Reading skills are not taught, but the regular reading pFogram in elementary schools is supplemented in "much the same way homes that encourage reading might do."

In practical terms, this means that volunteers visit participating classrooms at the Small, Davol, Aldrich, Coughlin, Dubuque, Greene and Watson schools once a week, and work with groups of no more than 10 children in reading aloud and conducting activities related to reading, such as acting out stories, drawing pictures, and discussing books.

The voluntel's include parents from Fall River and neighboring towns and several Bristol Community College students.

Big Thrills Big thrills for the children are reception of their gifts books and, running a close second, preparation of pictures and compositions 'about. books read.

These drawings and writings are sent to the Boston headquarters of the Books Exposure program. where they are photocopied and made into booklets, one for each child involved. For volunteers there's a monthly news bulletin giving items about. the various reading groups and notes of general interest.

As far as the children are concerned, the weekly sessions are pure fun, but a lot of work has gone into their planning, reflected in a bulky report on the program titled "nooks Exposure Program: Development and Evaluation." This report explains how participating children and schools were chosen and also indicates that the program, now in its second year, is planned for a three year period.

It is felt, says Nicoletti, that it wouldn't be possible in a shorter period to assess any change in children's attitudes

Hopefully, the Books Exposure children will prove that books are as susceptible to a good "selling" job as any other form of merchandise.

The eyes of the nation are already on this pilot program which is being called throughout the country the "Fall River Pdogram." What is learned from the Fall River· experiment is being synthesized and findings will be made available to the many communities and organizations that have expressed a desire to see ~hildren enjoy reading.

So far the schools involved are public schools but members working in the program see no reason why it cannot be expanded to include private schools as well.

Present problems are in funding the program and the contributions of $1000 from the Diocese of Fall River indicates the involvement of, the Catholic people of the Diocese in any program that advances the cultural frontiers of all the people of the area.

In June, however, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski of Warsaw claimed that the Polish government discriminates against Cath-, olics by impeding Church-building.

He said that many Polish parishes have their churches in barracks or tents or in the open, even in bad weather. He also denounced the ban on religion teaching in the public schools, in effect since 1961.

After this statement of Cardinal Wysznski the bishops of Poland issued a communique stating that Poland's communist regime continues to impede religious freedom.

DUBUQUE (NC)-Some 60 of the 150 members of the Loras College Summer faculty signed a statement criticizing the dismissal of Father Eugene Kutsch as dean of students. Copies of the statement were sent to the 17 members of t.he college's, board of regents.

The statement said the faculty members "wish to recognize the outstanding contribution made

by Father Kutsch during his 13 years as dean of students," and to "express dismay at his dismissal.

"The failure to consult and communicate with the faculty in this important decision is seriously detrimental to faculty morale. Without questioning the right of the president to appoint and dismiss his own administrative staff, we believe (it) was not in the best interests of the college," the statement said.

A spokesman for the signers praised the selection of Father Stanley Hayek as Father Kutsch's replacement as dean of students.

He praised Father Hayek the "best man" for the job and said his selection was approved by the entire faculty and student body.

Father Kutsch is now pastor of St. Francis of Assisi parish in Fayette, Iowa.

Asked for comment, Msgr.

Justin Driscoll, college president, noted the protest statement had recognized his right to appoint administrative staff members, and said the decision did not involve the issue of academic freedom.

Special, Permission Authorize Laymen to Distribute Communion In Superior and Duluth Dioceses

Franciscan Theologian Emphasizes Humanae' Vitae Encyclical of Life VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae on birth control should be hailed as 'an "encyclical of life," according to an Italian Franciscan theologian.

Fa th e r Ermenegildo Lio, O.F.M., bestowed this title on the encyclical in an edition of the Vatican tlaily, L'Osservatore Romano, commemorating the first anniversary of the official date of the encyclical. The document was released to the public on July 29, 1968.

Father Lio's ·article is a strong defense of the encyclical and takes to task theologians and others who have sought to water down or diminsh its ban on all forms of artificial birth control.

Referring to the encyclical's reception a year after its issuance, Father Lio noted: .

"There are on the one hand, pastors, theologians, and faithful who have heard the encyclical in all its pure and genuine sense, without diminishing (in theory or practice) its value * * * "On the other hand, there are a series of reactions which are less favorable, even sometimes scandalous.' It is these which have been for the most part played up in the press."

For his part, wrote Father Lio, "we were and we are always more convinced of the immutable truth contained in the central points of the encyclical."

Teaching' Is Clear;, Father Lio said, "One cannot hide the fact that there are those who, while accepting the encyclical in theory, nevertheless have attempted to diminish its binding value on conscience: or weakly proclaiming the so-called rights of conscience in proposing and even calling for a revision of those immutable principles' proclaimed in the encyclical, as if they were not truly immutable and absolute, creating thus these vain attempts and proposals

* * *"

In this regard, Father Lio singled out those who objectively consider contraception a grave matter only when practiced for reason oi' hedonism ·or .egotism,

whereas the magisterium (the teaching authority of the Church) bans it for any reason whatsoever, he said.

The the?logian maintain~? th~t the teachmg of the encyclical IS clear and that "priests charged with the care of souls cannot follow these objectors and co~men­ tators. Above them there. IS the guidance of the supreme pastor.

He who does not hear, and follow Peter, who has spoken again in such a categorical, clear and binding manner, cannot. be an authentic pastor of Christ."

The encyclical, said Father Lio, "should be considered from diverse aspects as the encyclical of life." Among these are: Serve to Reunite "It. is the encyclical of .life, in the fIrst place, because It protects and promotes the sacredness of human life in the world * * * It is the encyclical of life also because it has reconfirmed the vitality and organic nature of sacred, moral, conjugal Catholic theology itself of the. past 20 centurie~ * * * * * * Above all the encyclical Humanae Vitae is the encyclical of the supreme magisterium of· the vicar of Christ himself * * '1''' On the first anniversary of the encyclical, Father Lio said, the document Humanae Vitae should "serve not to divide us further but to reunite us always more under the sure guidance of the magisterium as the encyclical itself desires." "'1' * * All persons, even great ones, can be mistaken. But all must be so united and strong in virtue as to know how to overcome every ,temp~ation of scandalous contestation in the Church of God, (masquerading) under the guise of a scientific freedom which, if it does not follow the magisterium in the sense repeated in the encyclical itself, cannot be authentic."

Editor Admits Attack on Pope Rough, Unfair

SEATILE (NC)-The Seattle Post-Intelligencer admitted that a column it printed July 5 "was unnecessarily rough on the Pope, the Catholic Church, and in some instances was unfair," It also admitted the column has been "sharply critical" of the Catholic Church and certain Washington State legislators for opposing a bill designed to ease (the state's) abortion laws.

Louis Guzzo, managing editor, in a special column under "his by-line, assumed "full responsibility for its publicatiori," but said the July 5 column had been written by the newspaper's "irreverent eccentric."

The Guzzo column attempted to chide Archbishop Thomas A. Connolly of Seattle for being "unfair" in a call last week for the faithfUl of Seattle to "use the only weapons left to us" to answer the paper's attack: economic reprisals.

The July 5 column in the secular paper accused the Pope of a lack of concern for the world's poor, spoke of the Vatican's alleged wealth, and implied a handful of Catholic members of the state legislature followed the dictates of the hierarchy, rather than their own consciences, in opposing a bill to relE\x the state's abortion laws.

Cancel Subscriptions Guzzo asserted the archbishop had "over-reacted" and had "urged clergy and laity alike to quit reading the Post-Intelligencer." The letter of the archbishop, published in the archdiocesan Catholic Northwest Progress, said nohting about boycott or subscription cancellations of the daily, but it is understood a great number of cancellations were received by the paper.

In addition numerous letters were written to the editor by irate Catholics, indignant at the tasteless attack on the Holy Father, the Church and those State Legislators who opposed the abortion bill defeated last Winter.

The controversial column has had reprecussions elsewhere than among the archdiocesan Catholics. The attack on the legislators, representing both parties, has drawn fire from political leaders who resent the implication they were unfaithful to their oaths of office and the best interests of their constituencies by following the alleged "dictates of the hierarchy" in opposing the abortion-bill.

"J;lut even these illlages of civil unrest and ugliness will not be enough to prompt us to avoid excesses of injustics if we fail to recall the ideals that form the basis of our lives as Christians and as Americans."

"We may all have different opinions as to when or how school desegregation should take place," the bishop noted. "We may propose different directions that such plans should take. But if we do, we have a responsibility to make sure that our methods and our goals are in acc'ord with our Christian faith and our American creed. In both we must stop merely 'saying the words,' and we must 'do the deeds'."

"Each of us surely has a role to play at this time in our history," Bishop Boudreau said.

"Let us strive to make sure that our ,role is designed to accomplish God's purpose, for it is not only history that shall be our judge, but God Himself,"

'Private Colleges Get State Aid NEW YORK (NC)-The New York state education department, announcing unrestricted grants to 52 private, non-sectarian colleges and universities, said inclusion of 33 church-related s6h'ools in the new aid program is still under study.

Under the grant program, described as the first of its kind in the country, the private, nonsectarian schools will share in more than $24 million in funds in, th'e 1969-70 academic year. The money can be used however the schools like.

The size of the grant to each school will be based on the number of degrees it awarded in the 1968-69 academic year. Schools will get $400 for each bachelor's and master's degree awarded and $2,400 for each doctoral degree.

Under this arrangem.ent, the largest grants go to the largest schools. The largest single grant, $4.4 million, will go to New York 'University. Columbia University will get $3,234,400, while a separate grant of $1,192,000 will go to the Columbia Teachers College.

Ewald B. Nyquist, acting state commissioner of education, said the grant program would "help maintain an appropriate balance between public and private institutions and sustain priv.ate initiative in providing educational opportunity."

What Next?

Urge Speed, Circumspection in New Space Explorations \ WASHINGTON (NC) - Here, as everywhere else, the big news has been the moon landing. But perhaps more than anywhere else, the question here is turning to what to do next.

There have already been, and will continue to be, urgings to press forward rapidly in outer space explorations, urgings to proceed with circumspection, and urgings to use more of the nation's resources now to meet the problems facing people on eorth.

It already has been proposed that July 20 be established as a national holiday. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut has said that he, for one, will introduce such a measure. He would have it called "Apollo 11 Day," Persons of high and low degree have given estimates of where the landing of men on the moon will end up in history.

Some members of Congress hailed it as the most historic day since Columbus discovered America.

Steadily, Carefully A senator observed that it was "the first time since the beginning of man, within the limits of knowledge, that a living being has set foot on the moon."

Some persons of influence here have called for going on to "a moon installation," "an orbiting laboratory," "a shuttle system."

But there have been urgings

also that Americans move ahead "steadily, carefully and rationally" to explore the moon and to assess man's new capabilities.

It has been said that it would be "foolish" to leap to the "eager expectations" of the day when men will live and work in space.

It has been pointed out that 128 years elapsed between the time Columbus discovered America and the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.

The Department of Defense halted its Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) project some weeks ago,. but NASA has a program which would launch an unmanned orbiting laboratory in 1970 or 1971. Called Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERST), it is to seek ways of combatting the earth's food, energy and pollution problems.

Great monetary benefits are expected to result from the ERST program.

Plan after plan for the use of outer space undoubtedly will be put forward now that the moon walk has opened up a new era.

It is to be doubted, however, that they will produce anything near as thrilling to so many people as the days of the Apollo 11 mission.

L'AQUILA (NC}-If he should set foot on Italian soil, Munich's Auxiliary Bishop Matthias Defregger would have to answer questions and possibly stand trial for the killing of 17 villagers near here during the Second World War. Bishop Defregger was then Captain Defregger in the German army.

This decision came from L'Aquila's public prosecutor, Armando Troise, who opened an inquiry into those killings.

As Captain Defregger, he had passed on an order for the execution of those men in the nearby village of Filetto di Camarda.

Now there are some groups, in. cluding local Italian communists, who have asked that Bishop Defregger be tried in court for those killings.

The inquiry would determine whether there are grounds to hold such a trial. The statute of limitations in Germany has run out on the case. But Troise pointed out that there' is no statute of limitations in Italy on the charge of manslaughter which carries a mandatory life sentence.

When it was recently disclosed in a German news magazine that Bishop Defregger had taken part in those executions, he admitted his role but claimed he did everything he could to avert them. He has asked the surviving Italian villagers for forgiveness.

Sees Priests' Role 1111 Revolution Plan BUENOS AIRES (NC) - A sweeping plan for a revolution across Latin America includes: a major role of priests, according to the Buenos Aires, daily La Prensa.

La Prensa published details from a document reportedly drafted by a group called Central Castro-Communist-Maoist Revolutionary Committee. The plan calls for simultaneous actions throughout the Hemisphere aimed at installing workers regimes in every country.

Priests are described as being important to the success of the plan because their calls for social reform can give the Latin masses a sense of purpose tied to their religious beliefs.

in Parish Schools State Aid upon what happens in Columbus but also on the result of consultation between the board and the Priests' Senate and the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council.

The board at its special meeting t:ejected two other alternatives - dropping of additional grades and withdrawal of parish support from the diocesan high schools.

Moreover, in recommending grade school tuition as an alternative to adequate state assistance, th~ board made the following stipulations: That if the tuition program is adopted, allowances should be made somehow for families with more than one child in a school -possibly by assessing a single tuition charge on each family represented in the school rather than on each child.

That consideration would have to be given to inner-city' and other poo~ parishes in the application of the program.

That a certain amount of local (parish) determination of the amount of tuition charged would have to be allowed.

He said his visit would serve as "recognition of the greatness and exemplary behavior" of those martyrs.

"We wish to extend this recognition to all those who have given their blood or their silent sacrifice for the missionary cause, both in Africa and in all regions where there is Christian evangelization," he said.

Intricately Woven Novel ,Holds Reader's Interest

Jesuits Plan Service In Unusual Areas

By Rt. Rev. M.sgr. John S. Kennedy "The grass where a famine victim fell was infected for all time with his hunger, ... anyone crossing it began to die , denied nourishment from the food he ate." This is . the allusion in the title of Richard Power's intricately woven novel The Hungry Grass (Dial Press, 750 Third Ave., meetings. It fell to another Owen, to work the place New York, N.Y. 10017 $5.95) brother, under his mother's close orderIts protagonist, an Irish par- ing. Owen's decision to marry a

ish priest, Father Thomas Conroy, is dead as the book opens.

The narrative describes his slow dying, and his concomitant traversing of the hungry grass of his life.

Father Conroy is 63 at the time of his death.

For seven years , he has been in charge of the parish of KiIlbride, described by him dunghill of the diocese.

Everyone else regards it as a poor place indeed. The rectory, unattended by a housekeeper, is decrepit and bleak, standing grimly apart. There Father Conroy gets his own haphazard and skimpy meals and spends many lonely hours. ' Not that he is aloof from the parish. He knows his people, calls on some parishioners every day, always seems to "draw the unwanted, the dispossessed."

There is something unwanted and dispossessed about him himself . He gives the impression of being dour, and his tongue is feared. His young curate is critical of him and anything which the curate proposes by way of' change frightens Conroy and is construed by him as a condemnation of his record.

Domineering Mother Secretly, he is more critical of himself than the most censorious curate could be. He faults himself for dull and slack faith. He groaningly asks what he is living for. Living, he decides, means just getting on with it: and this he somehow, joylessly, manages to do.

How, then, did he ever become a priest? He had been born to comparatively prosperous folk, farmers in Rosnagree, the fairest portion of the diocese. His memories of his father, long dead, are mostly loving ones.

But his mother, still living, has never given or accepted love.

She has always been hard and domineering. He has been estranged from her for many years, as well as from his brother Frank.

It was Frank who went first to the seminary. With him heading toward the priesthood, the farm would belong to young Tom, and Tom was working hard on it when Frank suddenly came home and announced that he had quit. .

"It was then, without thinking, that Tom Conroy gave his answer, an a"nswer to a call that had never been made 'I< » ,~ 'I may as well give it a try myself.'''

Did his disapproving mother have anything to do with it? " Alienated From Kindred In the minor seminary he progressed admirably, studying intensely and so impressing the faculty that they recommended him for Maynooth. To their astonishment, he refused the splendid appointment, saying (sincerely or slyly?), "Ah, sure I just came to be a priest."

Meanwhile, the farm had not long held Frank's attention. Most of his time was spent at race
