New Bedford Clergy Act on Tensions' New Bedford clergymen of all denominations, in. an unprecedented ecumenical endeavor, have been conferring among themselves and with city officials and with representatives of the black and Puerto Rican communities, offering their services to help ease the tensions that have been running high in that city for more than two weeks. Most Rev. James L. Connolly, D.D., Bishop of Fall River, has appointed Rev. John F. Hogan as his personal representative to the conferences. Father Hogan is director of the Greater New Bedforp Welfare Bureau. Other Catholic priests at the conferences are Rev. Coleman Conley, SS.CC., of the Regina Pacis Spanish Center, Rev. Philip Kelly, C.S.C., Rev. William W. Norton of St. Mary's Home, Rev. William PetrIe, SS.CC., of Our Lady of the Assumption Church and Rev. John J. Steakem. . Meanwhile, several Sisters of Mercy from Mt. St. Mary Convent in Fall River assisted staff members of the New Bedford Spanish Center to evacuate and care for children who were moved from New Bedford and the area' where there has been rioting and destruction to a camp in Dighton. Those from the Mount who assisted Sister

Ros~lIen, RSM, of the' Spanish Center were Sister Mary Sylvia, Sister Mary Denisita, Sister Mary Camilla and Sister Mary Antonine. Also aiding were Mercy nul'ls from Rhode Island, a Dominiican Sister, and Sisters of the Sacred Hearts' from Fairhaven. The New Bedford clergymen recognize that a twofold problem confronts the city - first, the immediate task of easing tensions and restoring peace and reducing polarization in the community; and,' second, the underlying problem of improving the lot of members of minority groups especially along the lines of housing and employment. The clergymen have accepted the challenge of persuading people that the Way of progress must be the way of non-violence. They insist that this does not mean a return to the status quo or a peace that is the equivalent of lethargy. It does. mean the' conviction that there must first be an atmosphere of peace and reason so that there can take place the constructive dialogue and then the concrete. plans for housing and training programs leading to better employment. They further insist that people must be able to see within a Turn to Page Two

Mission of Priest to People Sends Bishop to Migrants BROWNSVILLE (NC) - Each Spring Bishop Humberto Medeiros watches fathers, mothers and children of all ages leave the Brownsville diocese for a few promised dollars in distant fields. Instead of waiting for their return this year, the bishopformer Chancellor of the Diocese of Fall River and pastor of St. Michael's Church in Fall Riverfollowed, traveling 4,000 miles in two weeks to visit their migrant camps in six Midwestern states. It was the second time he has tracked the coughing cars and ancient pick-up trucks that 'carry the mostly Mexican-American migrant workers from the Lower Rio Grande Valley to backbreaking work elsewhere. It's this first-hand experience ministering to migrants' needs that prompted the bishop to say recently that he "would like to see the whole migrant system disappear tomorrow." He admitted, however, that he doesn't know how this could be accomplished at the present time. The bishop described his ministry as "a mission of a priest to his people." Recently in Davenport, Iowa, he explained it this way: "You mighf say that I miss them down there and coming up here is a real retreat for me."

He said he has found migrants' living conditions "rather poor" but tolerable and in one place they were "quite good."

(CD Diredor Wins Degree

Accustomed as they are to the time-honored wall of separation between Church and state, Americans may be surprised to know that one third- of the world's nations give some fonn of state aid to Catholic schools.

Rev. Ronald A. Tosti, Diocesan director' of' the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, today received a Master of Arts Degree in Religious Education at Commencement Exercises. at Fordham University, New Yor~. Father Tosti becomes the first priest of the Fall River Diocese to receive this degree in specialized training for work in the CCD. Born Nov. 2, 1936 in Taunton, the son of Antonio and Norma Ginesi Tosti, he graduated from Taunton High School and then attended St. Thomas Preparatory Seminary, Bloomfield, Conn. His philosophical and theological studies were pursued at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. Following. ordination on May II, 1962 by Bishop Connolly in Turn to Page Six

BISHOP MEDEIROS

Those' conditions, he said, only reflect the living in "the valley" where his migrants usually reside. "The poor live in substandarel homes; the homes are very poor, very poor," he added. , . Bishop Medeiros said he believes that the migrants' lot improves because of the yearly treks to harvest far away crops: "Because of the help they get from the OEO (Office of Economic Opportunity) and the . churches, they go home better . educated, really, and with more money than they would have had if they bad stayed home-at least in our valley." Migrants get "real character" from their suffering during the long trips, but this is not the way "of life we should encourage, the bishop said. To help meet the" migrants' many needs, the bishop's diocese has embarked on an ambitious program despite financial shortcomings. "The diocese is the people, remember." And, said Bishop Medeiros, "We can do only what the people do. If you talk in terms of money and the people Turn to Page Si,x

"In all countries of Europe, in all English-speaking countries of Asia and Africa, in fact in one third of the nations of the whole world, there is some form of state aid to Catholic education," says Jan Lindemims, secretary general of the International Office of Catholic Education. The national educational system of England, whose institutions and laws were 18th-century models for the .young United States, is organized on a basis

of decentralization. The Ministry of Education administers public funds and exercises the right of inspection at all levels of education, whether private or stateowned. Local education authorities administer. state-owned schools. There are two main types of s~hools in England: ·"maintained schools" financed by the state and by. local authorities and administered by the local authorities; "independent 5'(;hools" which provide for their own nee(Js.

Father Peyton Still Asks Family Prayer, Ros'ary LOS ANGELES (NC)-FAther Patrick Peyton still is doing tremendous business at the same old stand - promoting family prayer and devotion' to the, Blessed Mother. The 62-year-old Holy Cross priest has been absent from the scene in this country for some years, but he's been carrying on the work to which he has devoted his life in other lands. At his headquarters here he bubbled over the success on his just completed crusade at Meriaa on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. He was enthusiastic over these results - families pledged to pray \ the Rosary daily, 72,000; persons who attended outdoor showings of Family Theater Rosary films, 1,134,428; estimated attendance at final crusade rally, 50,000. He said he was refreshed by the d~votion the average Mexican has for the Blessed Mother. He recounted: "Other nations have built her great cathedrals, written wonderful poetry and, songs to her honor, made her face shine from canvas, but the Mexicans have painted her on their hearts."

Orders Middies, Cadets Att~nd

Father Peyton's hair, once red is now gray, but the vitalitiy with which he launched his mission 28 years ago has not slackened. "Of course it is invidious to make comparisons, but I just can't help doing it," he· continued. "Naturally everyone could make a list of nations where Mary comes in for special honors, arid the usual lists would include Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Ireland. On such lists perhaps Mexico would not be found near the top, but I believe it deserves a foremost place. Giants "The people of Mexico can be the spiritual giants of the future, just as their ancestors were the intellectual giants who left us these marvelous artifacts which still astonish the world," he continued. During the last few decades, Father Peyton has carried his crusade around the world - to countries in Europe, Asia, Afi'ica; South America, Australia. The much-imitated slogan of his crusades still endures today -"the family that prays together, stays together."

Chapel Duties WASHINGTON (NC) - U. S. Oistrict Court Judge Howard F. Corcoran ruled here that military authorities may order cadets and midshipmen at U. S. service academit's to attend chapel services. The judge commented that chapel services "are not aimed at the cultivation of religious faith or motivation but are aimed, rather, at the complete training of future officers who, in combat, will shoulder awesome responsibilities." Cadets at' the U. S. Ail' Force Academy, West Point and the Naval Academy had worked with the American Civil liberties Union to seek a permanent injunction against mandatory chapel attendance. Military officials testifying Juring hearings on forced chapel att€;ndance emphasized the role of religion in militiary life and urged retention of mandlltory chapel rules. Opponents of the rules argued that the forced chapel attendance is a violation of the first amendment freedom to worship without state interference. Some Jewish cadets have also protested being forced to attend Christian services at the military and naval academies.

'Intentional Killing' Seven Graduating Physicians Condemn Hospital Abortion Policy PHILADELPHIA (N'C)-Seven 1970 graduates of Thomas Jefferson University medical school here condemned the present abortion policy at the university hospital as "morally and ethical~ly unacceptable and unjustifiable." The seven said the' 'policy "has horrendous ramifications in all areas of human society and endangers the very principle of the individual's right to life," Prior to 1969, it' was reported, approximately 100 therapeutic abortions were performed at the hospital, but in 1969 the number rose to 800 and now between 20 and 25 a week are performed. The seven said they are aware of today's social ills which have prompted the use of abortion as an apparent solution to the problems of poverty illegitimacy and irresponsibile parenthood." "We firmly believe that a human embryo exists as an individual human being from the moment of conception and on this basis has a right to life regardless of his gestational age," they asserted., '~Thus, we firmly believe that electively terminating pregnancy at any gestational age with the intent of fetal death is the intentional killing of a human being," they declared. 'Morally Obligated' The seven are Michael K. Farrell, George Isajiw, Robert P. Johnson, George W: Kern, IV, Edward M. Laska, James B. McGovern, Jr., and Jon P. Walheim. Their letter to university authorities was dated June 2, but only recently was made public. They expressed appreciation to the university for their education and training, but also said as "we are about to take the Hippocratic oath, we feel morally obligated to express our firm

Pign Development, Learnorig Centell' DAYTON (NC) - Opening of the first new racially integrated development-learning center 'here has been approved by Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati and the archdiocesan board of education. The idea grew out of a recommendation made several months ago by a task force established in September 1968, to study ways of ending segregation and improving Dayton parochial school quality. Eugene Jablinski, task force chairman, said the plan centered around two essential points that enrollment be on a: volun· tary basis and that efforts be made to attain racial balance among students. The center is expected to be opened in September, 1971. Jablinski said the task force recommended that several such development-learning centers be established in the Dayton area.

'NI;:W YORK (NC) - ' Movie nudity, violence and obscenity are on the way out and good old , family films on the way in, according to an editorial in Motion Picture Daily here. Written by the daily's editor and publisher, Martin Quigley Jr., the editorial reports "that the tide of obscenity, pornography, extreme violence and down'" right vulgarity on the screen has reached the peak. "From here on," Quigley comments, "there slwuld be an overall improvemel}t, in 'film quality;" Warning that the transition to family fare will take time, Quig,Icy gives theater owners the goahead. to "look forward with keen anticipation to the day when they will not be ashamed to look any patron in the ,eye and not be apologetic when telling what business they are in." Reason for the pending turn to cleaner, quieter movies,' according to Quigley, is the audience's overexposure to movie sex and violence. Claiming that every known four-It:!tter word has been on a film sound tratk ,and every known form of violence and perversion has hit the silver screen, Quigley claims the public has simply had eneugh.

Demand Church Use Influence

Lutheran Leader See's Progress In Ecumel1lism EVIAN-LtS-BAINS (NC)-The retiring president 'of the Lutheran World Federation outlinecl .an optimistic view of ecumenical progress at the federation's fifth assembly here in France. "Whether it is acknowledged or riot, historic walls of separation are beginning to crumble at international, regional and local levels," said the Rev. Dr. Fredrik A. Schiotz of Minneapolis, who is also president of the American Lutheran Church. Dr. Schiotz said the biggest decisions of the Second Vatican Council were made after the federation last met at Helsinki, in 1963. He also referred to a 1957 decision in Minneapolis, which resulted in Lutheran dialogue with the Catholic Church. "Lutherans often have been nervous", about the biblical requirement to seek Christian Unity, he said. While some Lutherans have' tended to neutralize the unity Christ sought by calling it "spiritual," Dr. Schiotz said, the Bible explicitly says Christ expected the unity of Christians to be a means of witness. "This expectation compels one to conclude that the unity Our -Lord anticipated was to be something the world would recognize," he told the LWF delegates. Turning to world problems, Dr. Schiotz said: ' "Human rights are continually being violated through white racism. While racism is not a white monopoly, in, today's world it asserts itself more generally among white people than among other races. Brazil Situation "An Asian theologian of recnized stature told me' in vehement language that the acute expression of racism is most prevalent in countries that have had the longest exposure to :the Christian Gospel. The indictment is true, and I shall never forget the depth of feeling' with which it was made." Dr. Schiotz acknowledged that the federation may have made an error in scuttling its laboriously drawn plans to meet in Porto Allegre~ Brazil. Federation officials had decided in June, to change the assembly site to Evian, near Ge~e颅 va, because of controversy among the' delegates from several countries over alleged repression and torture of political prisoners in Brazil. Since it took power in December 1968, Brazil's military regime has arrested hundreds of persons, including priests and lay leaders, on charges of subversion. The arrests were followed by charges that the authorities were torturing political prisoners. The Brazil government has repeatedly denied it, andLutheran church officials in Brazil have defended the government.

Rejects Challenge To Mary's Virginity DAYTON (NC), -.,.. A French theologian told' a' University of Dayton audience that current "cultural presuppositions" lie behind efforts to explain Mary's virginity as symbolic rather than physical. Father Rene Laurentin, S.M., a professor at the University of Angers and expert on Mariology at the Second Vatiican Council, said that the attack on the reality of the Blessed Mother's virginity was a Dutch underground trend that surfaced after the Dutch catechism reported the trend "respectfully." In contrast to the tendency of the Middle Ages to multiply miracles, the French priest said, modern society is "shocked" at the idea of God's intervention in the world. As a result, the excess of the Middle Ages in exalting virginity and despising sexuality is now opposed by 'a tendency to despise virginity and "to consider it in a negative and privative manner." The result has been a deterioration in the value placed on virginity itself and in the belief accorded to the nature of Mary's virginity, he said.

SANTO DOMINGO (NC)-The Catholic Church in the Dominican Republic came Qut of the ,sacristy and put its national credibility on the line by agreeing to act as intermediary in an exchange of political prisoners for a kidnapped U. S. colonel. Its succeSB demonstrated its strong influence based on popular trust but now Dominican Catholic social activists are demanding that the Church continue to use its influence or lose it. In April, Coadjutor Archbishop Hugo Polanco Brito of Santo Domingo provided a safe conduct escort to Mexico for 20 Dominican political prisoners exchanged for U. S.' Col. Donald J. Crowley. This proved to the people that the Church is not susceptible to government domination even on such a politically hypersensitive issue. "The Church in the Dominican Republic is not dead," Archbishop Polanco said. "The kidnappers of Col. Crowley proved this by asking to have a member of the Catholic hierarchy participate in the mediation committee. We worked for 30 consecutive hours to attain an agreement from hoth sides that they would not engag'e in bloodshed and revenge. \ "The Cathoiic Church in the Dominican Republic, despite differences and difficulties, has always been an institution with the recognized capacity for unification and finding solutions to difficult problems," the archbishop said. "There are those who feel that the proper mission of the Church is to solve the political, economic and social problems of the country. I feel the Church must act only as a guide."

LEADERS CONDUCT QUESTION PERIOD AND SEMINAR AT HYANNIS PARISH CENTER

'Committee Kills California School Aid Proposal SACRAMENTO (NC) - Possibility of state aid to California's 400,000 non-public school students has been kille'tl in Senate Finance Committee action here. The bill's author, Sen. George Moscone (p-San Francisco), has announced, however,' that the legislation "is too important to California and its taxpayers to drop." He plans to introduce a similar measure aiding private school students during the state's next legislative session. Death of the Moscone bill came when the committee was unable to muster the seven votes necessary to send it to the Senate floor. The bill, which would have provided aid to parents or guardians of students attending non-public elementary and high schools, was earlier approved by a voice vote of the policy-making education committee. Specifically, as amended the Moscone bill would have given non-public school children up to $187.50 annually to pay for tuition for secular subjects. Incre;jse Burden ~ Following the bill's defeat, Moscone said there is an 'urgent need for state aid to private schools. He cited the fear of "mass closure of non-public schools because of the greatly increasing costs of education." Without state aid, he said private school closures "will continue to escalate and increase the burden on public schools." He estimated that under the provisions of his bill, it would have cost the state $50 million annually to help educate Califor路 nia students now attending nonpublic schools. Sen. Donald Grunsky (R路Watsonville), finance committee chairman, said that "many more schools are going to close unless they get money." If those schools closed, he estimated that California taxpayers would have to spend $250 million each year to handle the influx of students in the public school system, in addition to massive outlays for construction of new educational facilities.

Hyannis 'Street Christians' ReacJI Out In Summer Ministry to Students By Patricia McGowan The current issue of "Time" discusses "street Christians," describing them as "the latest incarnation of that oldest of Christian phenomena: footloose, passionate bearers of the' Word, preaching the kingdom of heaven' ., ... ... They evoke images of St. Francis of Assisi .and his ragged band of followers, or of the early Salvation Army, breaking away from the staid life of congregations to find their (ellow man in the streets." Such a band of Christians is in Hyannis this Summer. It has found a meeting place in St. Francis Xavier parisb hall, where they hold nightly leadership sessions at the invitation of Msgr. William D. Thomson, pastor. "It's an interdenominational student group," he explained. ,"Some Catholics are members, but all are from out of town, just in Hyannis for the Summer. When they asked for the use of of the hall, I was glad to let them have it. They're a very good thing for Hyannis." The group is part of Campus Crusade for Christ, an organization active on 500 U. S. campuses and in 44 foreign nations. Members "seek to win men to Christ, to build them in the faith and then send them to reach others." This is accomplished through in-school contacts during the academic year and through the street apostolate in resort areas -during vacation time. From Texas Jim Routt, a soft-spoken 21 year-old senior at the University of Texas, is a leader among 55 Crusaders working in Hyannis this Summer. All hold Summer jobs in the popular Cape Cod vacation center, and are "available to the Lord when he throws us into witnessing situations,:' explains Jim. In concrete terms, this means that the students are alert for opportunities to share their own experience of Christ with fellow workers or with young people

like themselves encountered on beaches, streets or at coffee houses. ' "We meet at St. Francis Xavier every night, and then go out on Main Street from about 9 to 11 to meet and talk to young people," said Jim. The students work on a one-to-one basis, introducing themselves to passersby and explaining their purpose. They are rarely rebuffed. "We get to people's basic need, which is to know God," said Jim. About 100 young people have been "reached for Christ" this Summer, he said. When possible, workers follow up on their contacts, but often boys and girls are at the Cape for only a day or weekend, and further meetings are impossible. _All new converts, however, are urged to make immediate contact with a nearby church and to become active members. Four Laws The message of the Crusaders is four-fold, summarized in a booklet of which millions of copies have been distributed throughout the world. Four "spiritual laws" al'e set forth, explaining God's love as manifested in Christ and the necessity of aCQ,f;!pting this love on an individual basis. Students in Hyannis for more than a day or two are invited to attend College Life meetings, held at 9 every Friday night in Masonic Hall on Hyannis' Main Street. Tomorrow's meeting will highliight a talk by Rev. Peter Marshall Jr., son of the famed Washington minister and pastor of East Dennis Community Church on Cape Cod. The 55 Crusaders will return to their colleges come Labor Day, there to set up action groups aimed at inyolvinig, fellow students in the organization, which The meetings also include entertainment, group singing and awardi~g of a door prize, said Jim. An average of 120 students make the scene each Friday.

has been a forte on U. S. campuses since 1951 when it was founded at the University of California at Los Angeles by Dr. and Mrs. William R. Bright. Dr. Bright, a "big man on campus" in his. own student days, was a successful businessman by age 30, but felt a lack in his life, which was filled when he came' into contact with the 'college club of a Hollywood church. He entered a seminary for three years and then looked for an avenue of Christian action. He "found Christian groups waiting in line to take turns in slum, ghetto and prison projects, but saw a vacuum in colleges, where students wasted four years without Christ." Beginning at UCLA, the Campus Crusade reached 250 persons its first' year. From a staff of six it has grown to 2600 Christians "available for the Holy Spirit to work through them, to minister to the needs of people." "We have found," writes Dr. Bright, "that, when' they learn how, most people want to become Christians." The Hyannis "street Christians" are there to show the way.

Experime,nts With Solutions To.D,ental Hygiene Probl,ertl I

I should just-'fhank God that my children allhave gdod teeth and stop trying to find practical systems for dental hygiene. After all my ideas backfired, I thought I'd found a better way when I spotted a "helpful hint" in ane*spaper column from a mother gets smeared into a towel-'u.ewho solved the toothbrush cause he already washed ihis problem. She hung the hands. ' I was complaining of the di,ffi: brushes on kitchen' cup hooks-a different color for each child - at a height within easy reach. '

MARY CARSON

Below the brushes was a chart and a box of assorted colored stars. Each time the child brushed his teeth, he added a color-coordinated star to his collection. Their desire to collect the most stars built good dental habits. My first reaction. was that she must have only one child. I learned she had a family of seven! My second reaction was there must be something unusual about her children. My later, much more honest evaluation was that there are definitely many things wrong with my children >I< '" >I< with路 me (0 '" '" and our dental hygiene. In the beginning,' my children cut their teeth-literally-on the bars of playpens and cribs. One of the boys almost gnawed through. It looked as if a beaver had been working at it. I should have suspected something then. Shameful Attitude The second fault _was mine. When they were of an age that other mothers would send them from the table with instructions, "Brush your teeth immediately; the best time is within a halfhour after mealtime," I was advising, "Forget about your teeth; just get to bed! You can brush them ~n the morning." On the face of it, this was a shamefUl attitude * >I< but based on good reason. Well, maybe not a good reason, but at least it was a reason. I was sick of scrubbing dried tooth past off the bathroom sink! If a chubby little fist, firmly clamps on the middle of a tooth paste tube, it spurts out faster 'than the' brush can catch it. After several tries, there are swirls .all over the sink, and the tube is wearing out. One more try and the paste squishes out the middle of the tube into the kid's hand. At least now he can mop some out of his hand onto the brush, but the rest

Opposes Sales GENEVA (NC)-Britain's resumption of arms sales to South Africa' was denounced as "clearly unacceptable to Christian moral conviction" by the Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, secretary general of the World Council of Churches in a letter to the British Council of Churches he made public.

cuities of washing dried tooth paste out of the sink to a friend (who had se'ven boys) and ,she was horrified --. not because, of the paste' on the sink, but because I was trying to wash! it down the drain. "Use it to clean the sink. It works' better than scouring powder!" i My children finally managed enough proficiency to get mpst of the tooth paste onto the brushes-or maybe they h~arned to clean the sink themselves so I I wouldn't.know. In an attempt to improve th'eir dental habits, I set out one ~ay to buy new brushes in nine different colors. By the time I got through, I couldn't remember .which was whose. I wasn't 'as ,clever as the girl in ,the "suggestion." She wrote each child's name on the brush with nail polish. ; I hadn't thought of that. BUt. I wouldn't have done it anyway. I don't keep nail polish in the house for several reasons (whi'ch aren't worth getting into here because my nail polish incompetency is worse than my to~th brush inadequacy.) , HIding Places So, each child had his own brand new brush. I figured all they had to remember was one color-their own-and if reaily didn't matter if'I knew who tielonged to which one. i There was a large plastic cup on the sink. All the chfid had to was brush his teeth and drop the brush back in the cup. SOl why were they always missing? i I wondered how that mother got her kids to hang them on the hooks-particularly on their own hooks. The standard places for my kids' brushes were under radiators, in boxes of off-season clothing, in my sewing basket and on top shelves in the closet. I>have even found them inside overshoes in the "boot box" arid nestled in my best bud vase in the living room. These are the clean on'es. The ones used to make "spatter prints" for art are returned to the cup in the bathroom, paint still intact. ! In Big Trouble ! As far as my kids keeping!a record with the colored stars dn the charts, I understand too w~1I their brand of honesty. If th~y brushed twice as hard - tWo stars; rinsed three times-three stars. They would spend mote time pasting stars than brushirlg their teeth. I Besides, with my kids, anything which is gummed must be licked and pasted immediately+ and it generally isn't pasted in the intended place. If I left a box of stars in the bathroom, one df the boys would make a Planetarium on the ceiling, I If cleanliness is next to Godliness, my kids are in big troubl~. But, they are starting to take care of their teeth a little more regularly and I figure they wilI . catch on by the time they are trying, to instruct kids of their own. , Frankly, if all the things I should have taught them--evert half the things-,.have penetrated by the time they are married, rt'l feel I've pretty well' accom'plished my purpose as a mothe~.

ST. PAUL (NC)-Members of the famliy life committee of the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocesan board of education rec-' ommended to the boaro here that a sex education program be started in the archdiocese'S Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes. Committe'e chairman Dr. Edward Hanton presented proposals for the education program, but did not make any curriculum recommendations. An audience of 200 received the proposal with mixed reactions. One woman won a round of applause when she warned tha~ the sex education plans would lead to promiscuity. "Don't believe them" she said, "'when they say 'parents will be able to see the material first, We won't see it . . . slowly "but surely "we will be giving up our children from freedom to communism." A man urged that content of the classes be left to the discretion of parish priests, warning th!lt p~iests' authority was waning. The committee accepted the proposal but emphasized that it had been neither adopted nor rejected. Any further action will follow continued discussions at the parish level.

DENVER (NC) - A proposal hacked by the Colorado Catholic Conference and Catholic school officials was realized whe!) Gov. 'John A. Love appointed a committee to investigate conditions which may prevail if nonpublic school systems are curtailed drastically. John Fleming Kelly, Denver attorney and chairman of the nine-member committee, pledged the 'inquiry will, be conducted "as objectively as possible," through a series of public hearings. He said the views of many persons ~Iose to the problems will be sought. The committee is composed of legislators, educators, businessmen, lawyers and others. No funds were made available for the. study, Father Joseph Behr, superintendent of Pueblo' diocesan schools, and Msgr. William Jones, head of the Denver arch· diocesan educational..system, endorsed the governor's action. The' Colorado ,'Catholic Conference has been urging such a study for mon~hs.

,Assert Torture Political Weapon 'In Brazil GENEVA (NC) Systematic and scientific torture "has become a', political weapon" in Brazil, the International Commission of Jurists charged here, In a rep-ort from its headquarters, the commission said that, as practised by its' military regime, '''torture today in Brazil is no longer a mere aid of judicial interrogation." The jurists' comnUSSlO1l is supported' in most of the noncommunist countries by lawyers and judges. It has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council , and the IS-nation Council of Europe. The commission said that' its report was based on documents secretly removed from Brazilian prisons and concentration camps. The commission's report said "there is little hope of ameliorating. the repression in view of the ever increasing number of civil servants and military officers who have incriminated themselves by torturing their fellow citizens." But, the commission added, by continuing to bring the situation to the attention of world public opinion there is a "very real chance of putting a stop to the inhuman practiCes suffered by' so many men an~ women in Brazil." ' Bishops Ask Halt Reports on Brazilian tortures have been seeping out of that South American country since 1968, but controversy surround'ing them has reached a peak this year. In May, while Brazil's government was denying the charges of tortures, the Brazilian Bishops' Conference issued a statement calling for a halt to tortures by police and asking the government to punish those guilty. Archbishop Helder Camara of Olinda and Recile, Brazil, who has been frequently mentioned as a possible recipient of the next Nobel Peace Prize, has also affirmed the existence of tortures in his country, and insisted that "torture is a crime that must stop." " Nine members of the U. S. Catholic Conference's commitee for international affairs, five of them bishops, in May also denounced the tortures and accused the Brazilian government of mounting "a campaign of terror against the Catholic Church."

Asks New Economic, Social Structures LIMA (NC)-The rebuilding of earthquake-devasted Peru must not stop with new buildings, Cardinal Juan Landazuri Ricketts of Lima told his countrymen. It must also 'include new economic, political and social structures, he said. Speaking for all of the country's bishops, Cardinal Landazuri sai,d the international cooperation experienced as a result of the May 31 earthquake need not be "a transitory occurence." International brotherhood is "a seed born from the present tragedy," the cardinal said. "Making it grow should be the continuing task of all of us." "We must surmount hateful differences between rich and poor nations, abuse of power and money, pretentiousness and luxurious, living, the absurd arms race and oppresive economic, social and political structures," he said.

SAN ANTONIO (NC) - Incarnate Word College which classes itself among the dwindling number of higher learning institutions still operating in the black, is facing a drastic situation, according to college spokesmen. ' The college, conducted by Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, has an enrollment of 1,300 students-more than a fourth of . them registered in' the nursing school. ' The drastic situation has resulted from reductions in the federal nursing loan program, cut by 66 per cent. College spokesmen also said final word has yet to be r('ceived on nursing scholarships, with indicuti.on cuts also will be made in this program. , Adding to the confusion is the fact that last year the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare awarded a $634,000 grant to the college to help build a nursing education facility.

Offers Diocese Solutions to End School Racism' HOUSTON (NC) - Solutions for ending alIeged racism in Catholic schools here have been offered to the Galveston-Houston diocesan school board in a report outlining seven remedies. Leonel J. Castillo, a member of the board-appointed committ~e which drew up the solutions, said it looks as if the board will accept a combination of the measures designed to answer charges leveled last month that the diocesan school system "is both separate and unequal, with dangers of becoming a racial haven." The accusations were made by the local Catholic Interracial Council and presented to board president Dr. Francis Yeager. Yeager appointed a four-member committee to study the racial climate in diocesan schools. Castillo, council member and ~x~cutive director of the diucese's Catholic Council on Community Relations, reported that the investigating committee found three parochial schools with 100 per cent black enrolIment; four alI-white schools and three with 96 to 98 per cent Mexican American enrolIment. One junior high was listed with a 98 per cent white enrolIment. Bus ChlIdren In its report, the committee suggested tentatively that racial balance be adjusted in the schools through the folIowing remedies: . Teacher crossovers. "This is an easy way to integrate," said Castillo who explained that teachers of different races rather than students would be transferred to racialIy unbalanced schools. Request of free technical services through the Office of Civil Rights for fulI scale plans "for voluntary desegregation of our system." Plan "to close inferior schools and bus those children to our superior schools while we still have empty seats and empty classrooms." Financial Aid Get an attorney's advice on the board's legal responsibilties to desegregation "so that each pastor, principal, and school board member under its jurisdiction clearly knows its obligation." In keeping with a letter to the president from the National Conference of Bishops, notify the Senate Select Committee' on Education that monies should be made available to alI private school systems "who willingly desegregate." Make plans to request help through the bishops for other financial assistance in_ upgrading and desegregating the system. Initiate thorough analysis of alI diocesan resources and expenditures on an ethnic basis "while immediate practical remedies are being applied." Appoint a permanent business or financial board member in charge of funds and federal aid to be received by the system. "We are in danger of becoming a racist haven," the report warned. "It is our clear duty," it added, "whe'1 we receive federal aid not to facilitate the transfer of students from another system (such as the public schools) which is being forced to desegregate." .

Worker-Grower Accord Ends .Impasse .Grape Labor Contract Brings New Era

DELANO (NC) - The United Farm Workers Organizing Committee achieved its biggest success in the five-year California farm labor dispute wl}en growers representing 50 per cent of the table-grape industry signed labor contracts covering more than 6,000 pickers. The victory was made sweeter . by the fact that the 26 growers went for the July 29 signing to union headquarters in rural Delano, the little town where the original grape strike began in 1965. Delano is tucked away in the lushness of the vast San Joaquin ValIey, 140 miles northeast of Los Angeles. More than 400 farm workers and supporters jammed the white-painted union halI, where a crucifix and a madonna on the walIs reflected the Catholic religious traditions of the economicalIy struggling Mexican-American field hands. The halI was decorated with banners like one lettered "Poor Men Do Penance Daily." Auxiliary Bishop Joseph F. DonnelIy of Hartford, Conn., chairman of the U. S. Bishops Ad Hoc Committee on the Farm Labor Dispute, presided at the signing. The workers present applauded, cheered, laughed and sang. 'Happy Conclusion' The work of the bishops committee has been credited as a major eiement in getting growers and workers together to negotiate their troubles-spiraling inflation for the growers and low wages combined with primitive living conditions for the workers. Congratulating both sides over the settlement, Bishop DonnelIy said it "brings to a happy conclusion five years of strife and turmoil in the fields of this rich and verdant valIey of abundance."

John Giumarra Jr., spokesman' for the growers, most of whom had consistently refused to deal with union leader Cesar Chavez until now, said the signing "brings a new era to agriculture." Giumarra pledged that his group would do everything possible to make the agreement work.. 'Eyes on Delano' Chavez said the 'settlement was proof that "social j'-;lstice can be gotten through nonviolent means."

Chaplains Speak Out Against Abortion WASHINGTON (NC)-An association of 900 Catholic chaplains has declared its opposition against abortion .and offered "support and encouragement" to doctors declining to perform the 'operations now legal in some states. In a statement released here, members of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NA AC) also offered to counsel and advise expectant mothers and fathers of unwanted children about alternatives to abortion. The priests who serve as chaplains in federal, state and community health care facilities throughout the Un!ted States said: "We recogni~e that no simple solution to this problem exists and we are disturbed by those who would offer one. As priests and as chaplains we uphold the freedom of those in the medical and nursing professions who decline to participate in an abortion procedure. We maintain that no punitive or restrictive policy be invoked against those who so decline to participate. We offer them our support and encouragement."

. MILWAUKEE (NC)-Director of the new Milwaukee archdiocesan Office for the Laity here is quick, to point out. what he considers its' unique feature. "There are many dioceses with an office of the laity, but they have just another organization." said Gerald M. Schaefer, executive director. "We're for the laity and hope to work with all organizations." Some possibile future projects for the new office include a calendar clearinghouse for archdiocesan events and an opinion research bureau to poll the laity, transmit information and handle complaints. Primary concel'll of the Laity Office, however, will be helping furm parish councils, which presently number 50 among some 265 parishes in the archdiocese. Archbishop William E. Cousins, announcing the new office, !old pastors and priests he would like to see parish councils working in every parish by March I, 1971. "There is no point, however, in creating a parish council simply for the sake of having one," Archbishop Cousins told the clergymen. "It should be set up by consultants and experts in the field, if we are to avoid the mistakes that have made some councils divisive rather than cooperatin8 forces." "This is where the Office for the Laity can best serve you," the archbishop said.

REV. P. DAVID

FINKS

This desired' "socialization" of the Church, a term which raises the hackles of many Catholics on anti-Communism, has been renamed rather awkwardly by the. South American Bishops in their Medellin' statement "conscientization." As important as this terminology is, however, the key question troubling Pope, Bishops and religious editors today is: "How do you help people develop this social conscience?" Multitudes seem to agree that the key social,problems of our day center around the human quality of life in our cities. Race relations, poverty, crime, unresponsive local governments, the many forms of flight to suburbia, public education-these are problems brought about by rapid change. We have evolved from a ruraloriented nation to an urbanized, highly technological civilization. Political Obstacles But the religious edutat~rs and Church leaders' are stumped when it comes to convincing white, middle-class Catholics to want to do something about these human problems' out of basic responsibility to the liberating "600d News" of Jesus. Edward C. Banfield, a professor of urban government at Harvard, has said some interesting thi~gs about the process of solving social problems ("City Politis" by Dr. Edward C. Banfield and James Q. Wilson, Vintage Books.) Dr. Banfield writes: "It is evident that social evils like crime, racial hatred and poverty \ are problems susceptible to solution; the obstacles in the way of their solution are mostly political. It is not lack of information that the problems remain unsolved. Nor is it because organizational arrangements are defective. Rather, it is because people have differing opinions and interests, and therefore opposing ideas about what should be done." Political Action Religious educators would do well to realize what a number of frustrated.' social activist clergy found out in the civil rights "sixties." Effective moral positions on.' controversial,;social issues are not learned from preach-

'College as Grove' Theory No 'Wild Berserk Scheme'

After the columns I have written recently on the state as the "wave of the future") The question, possibly of higher education, it would not be unfair to ask of me how I would run a college if I had one of my own.

If I had a college of my own

r would assign each of the professors a tree. The professor would at certain specified hours each day, or several days a week, appear in the shade of his tree accompanied by his secretary and research assistant, the former to bear him copious supplies of tea (warm in the morning and iced in the afternoon) and the latter to bring him computer readouts, books from the library, and a daily copy of The New York Times. While he was sitting under his tree, the professor would talk to his secretary, to his research assistant, to himself, and to anybody who might happen by. He would talk, as most professors do anyhow, of the thinigs on which he was working or in which he was interested. Presumably, he would be joined by students who would be interested in talking about these same subjects and listening to the professor talk. Seek Other Trees If the students were interested in doing further reading in the subjects about which they and the professors had conv.;rsed, the professor would be only too happy to present them with a reading list. Furthermore, if the student's interest in the subject were so great that he· was moved ~o write a paper on the matter In hand, the professor would be delighted to evaluate the paper and make constructive recommendations for its improvement. When the appointed time was over the professor would gather up his books, his readouts, his sl:'cretary, his research assistant, and return to his ivory tower with the promise to the students that he would return to the shade of the tree on the next appointed day at the appointed hour and they might then continue their delightful discussion. He might even recommend to some of, the students that there are other professors in the grove who are likely to be talking about related subjects, and that the students might be well advised not merely to sit under his tree but also to seek out the shade of the trees of some of his colleagues. Free Wandering This is about all that would go on in my college, at least after the freshman year which would be essentially a year in which the student learned about the grove, what went on under the various trees, and who were the appropriate professors to talk

I would even assign certain trees to be at the disposal of guides who. would either lead the student through the forest or provide him wiht maps that would enable him to seek out the appropriate trees.. The student would be guaranteed four years of free wandering through the forest, though at the end of four years (of elapsed time; he would certainly take a year off, or two years, or three years, or five years anytime he wanted) the student would be barred from the forest save for occasional social or ceremonial visits to his old teachers.

The 'Sister was moving among the slums of a city in India. Unbelievably, she heard sobbing coming from a trash barrel. Brushing aside the flies and the vermin, she looked. Beneath the filth and debris was an old lady crying from tearless eyes as her life slowly ebbed away. Tenderly the Sister lifted her, placed her on her shoulders and took her to the Hospice for the Dying. Before she died, the old lady told the Sister, "I'm not cryiflg because I was in the garbage. I'm crying because my son put me there. He had to. There was not enough food for the family." ... Tragically, this scene will be replayed many more times: But you can help to lessen .it. Will you?

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI, recalling that Belgium's Young Christian Workers \'lCW) had urged priests and nuns to be "witnesses of the word of God" among them, remarked that the laity can bring out the best in clergy and Religious. "By that you show how the Church's laity, if it.is truly what it should be, can strengthen the faith of priests and nuns in helping them to be fully what they are," he told a group of about a thou!iand YCW, members who had .com-e from Belgium on' pilgrimage.

Says Cesar Chavez Coerces Growers

WASHINGTON (NC) ~ Possibility of a link between advt:rtisers' message that "pills turn rain, into sunshine" and the nation's rising drug abuse problem, is being investigated with highest 'priority by the Ft=:deral Trade Commission. The study into effects of cOIn· mercials promoting over·the· cuunter medicine sales was ini,tiated by Sen. Frank Moss (DUtah) via congressional resolution. It should result in specific proposals by Sept. I, said FTC, Chairman Caspar W. Weinberger. He wrote Moss, that the stuJy has been assigned "the highest priority in agreement with your evaluatiun of the gravity of the prublem." Moss, whose Mormon religion forbids use of stimulant drugs, called for the study saying "the drug culture finds its fullest flowering in the portrait, of American society which can be pieced together out of the hundreds of thousands of advertisements and commercials." It is advertising, he said, "which mounts so graphiically ,the message that pills turn rain to sunshine, gloom to joy and depression to euphoria; solve problems, and dispel doubt." Moss added that the problem is not limited to pills, but cigarettes, ,cigars, soft drinks and commercials for other products which "portray the key to happiness as things to swallow, in· hale, chew, drink and eat." .

-Vatican Wealth VATICAN CiTY (NO) - Reports that the Holy See is sitting atop a multibillion dollar mountain of hidden wealth in bank deposits and stock invest· ments were called a "fantastic exagge'ration~' by the Vatican's own newspaper. Published reports that the Holy See controls between $11 and 13 billion are "simply fantastic." The Vatican daily said the "productive capital" of the Holy See, "including deposits and investments ,both in Italy and outside, is far from reaching one hundredth of this figure."

SACRAMENTO (NC)-A group of Mexican-American farm workers .demonstrated' on -the steps of the state capitol here to protest the tactics of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers' Organizing Committee involved in unionizing 'California farm laborers. One of the 35 demonstrators, Cornelio Macias of Sanger, charged_ that Chavez was coercing growers' into signing 'con· tracts without consulting the farm workers involved. 'Macias, a labor 'contractor, was vice-president of the nowdefunct Agricultural Workers, Freedom to Work Association. According to the U. S. Depart, ment of Labor, the association was financed by California grape growers opposed to unionization efforts.

ROME (NC)-The mother general of the Good Shepherd nuns has denied a statement in an independent American Catholic, newspaper and an inference in an Italian communist paper which said her community, had sold property in Rome for $9,6 million. In a story Julyl0 on Vatican finances, the National. Catholic Reporter stated: "The Good Shepherd nuns recently sold 148 acres of choice land for $9.6 million to an American company which intends to build a 1,000room motel." The English mother general, Mother Mary Aquinas, and two of her aides, Sisters Rose Virginia and Mary of Our Lady, told NC News the following were the facts in the case: They have 10 acres for sale, not 148. They have not sold anything yet. They have been trying to sell the property since 1940. They are asking $2 million for the 10 acres. They have two or three parties interested, not all of whom want to build a motel. If they succeed in selling, they "just about" retire the debts on their provincial house, generalate and another house in Rome. "It would take us two days' to spend the money," said Sister Rose Virginia. Mother Mary' Aquinas explained that they wanted to set the record straight so that Catholics around the world who help support their 410110mes for girls - 50 of them in the United States-would not believe that "we, are suddenly rIch."

Appealing for hunger-fighting action on. local, state and national levels, the AMA has asked physicians to ensure that the federal government does not become concerned solely with emergency, short range programs to relieve hunger. The request came in a report compiled during the past year by the AMA's Council on Foods and Nutrition and published in the mid-summer issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Edmundites Reelect Superior Gen~ral ' WINOOSKI (NC)-Father - Eymard P. Galligan; S.S.E., 48, was reelected to a second term as superior general of the Society of St. Edmund at the 1970 general chapter meeting ,at St. Michael's College here in Vermont. Father Galligan's new term is for four years. Previously the office was for a six-year term. A native of Saratoga Springs, ,N. Y., Father Galligan had headed the Edmundite Fathers and Brothers since 1964. Previously he directed the soc ciety's Southern 'missions with headquarters in Selma, Ala., and served as a faculty member at St. Michael's College, which the society conducts. ' The Edmundites are, active in educational, missionary" and par~ ish work in this country, Canada, Venezuela; 'England and France.

While recognizing that dodors alone cannot solve all social problems related to hunger the report caUed upon physicians' to take the lead in working with society to meet its ills. , It noted that hunger is a prob· lem which society must solve, but said that "malnutrition on the other hand; is a medical problem that can be most 'appropriately resolved by intervention of the physician." With approval of the AMA's board of trustees, the council also recommended the following

Guatemala Cardinal Again Threatened· GUATEMALA CITY (NC)Cardinal Mario Casariego of Guatemala City announced here that he has received a one-line letter from a terrorist 'group giving him three days to "leave the country or suffer ,the consequences." Cardinal Casariego said the typewritten note he received July 19 was signed by the FAR (Rebel Armed Forces), leftist group of guerrillas responsible for the kidnapping and execution of West German Ambassador Count Karl von Spreti in April. ' In March, 1968 Cardinal Casariego was kidnapped by right, wing terrorists and held f<lilr days. He was released unharmed , after three of, the kidnappers were captured.' , Two. months later a Guate.mala City "daily published a note, allegedly from the rightist Movement of Organized Nationalist Action (MANO), threatening the cardinal's life jf he did ,not leave the country within 48 hours.

Black Suicide, Rate High

,,'New Latins' Fact-Filled, : Soberly Interpretive 'Book

DEL MAR (NC)-A "striking increa,se" in suicide among young black males and a growing number of wild:west-style gun fights between police and black militants may be linked, according to an article in the August issue of Psychology Today. , Research by Dr. Richard H. Seiden of the University of Califronia at Berkeley, indicates the suicide rate among young black, males is twice as high as the rate among young white men. Blame for this, Seiden said, should be placed on the effects of segregation and poverty and "a basically malevolent system of laws, customs,' precedures and enforcers." , This societal rejection, Seiden continued, drives young blacks to commit suicide directly or to involve themselves in activities that lead to violence and death. These include life-styles that revolved around heavy drug use, burglary, violent crime; radical organized confrontation', rioting and shoot-outs with law enforce~ ment agencies.

See Subsidi%~s High Schools JOLIET (NC)-The Joliet -diocese has ,come up' with a $425,000 subsidy for the second straight year to help keep eight Catholic high schools operating during the 1970-71 school year. There are 10 high ·schools in the diocese's educational system. In addition, Bishop Romeo Blanchette announced an $18,150 tuition assistance fund for high schools has been laid aside for" the coming year. The. Joliet Catholic School Board worked out the $425,000 subsidy plan, pro-rating it at the rate 0'£ $40 per student in, the eight schools. The subsidy d!,!cision has a stipulation requiring five of the high schools to produce a specified amount of local subsidy or face closing down in June, 1971. Two other schools, it was reported, each will receive a subsidy from members of the religious communities which staff them. Two schools reported a diocesan subsidy was not needed, the board said. Some 6,700 students were educated in the 10 schools last year, Sister Bernardus, executive assistant to the diocesan schools superintendent, said.

One Third of Nations Aid SchocHs

,;:.

Continued from Page orie Maintained schools include "county schools" set up and controlled exclusively ,by the local education authorities, and "voluntary schools" established, by . volunti\ry agencies, such as the Church of England (Anglican), the Catholic Church and various Jewish groups. Most Catholic schools in the "maintained" category are called "aided" schools. In 1968, England and Wales had 2,322 such .Catholic schools teaching nearly 900,000 children. Catholics still have to provide 10 per cent of the cost of building these aided schools and this amounts, to many millions of dollars a year in interest and loan repayinent. Founder is Owner The ownership of aided schools remains in the hands of the founders or organizers. A board of. governors, two-thirds of them appointed by the organizing body and one-third by the local education authority, manages the schools. Catholic aided schools are either diocesan property or are owned by communities of Religious. In addition· to the aided schools, in 1968, there were 56 "direct grant" schools with about 40,000 students. Direct grant schools are well-established private schools charging fees for a proportion of their students but also accepting a percentage of students paid for directly by the state. They also receive some general financial .assistance on debts and operating costs. The Catholic' tlirect grant schools-one step below the big "public schools," which are 'in-dependent, charge high fees and ·set a traditionally superior standard of education-include some of the best Catholic schools in England. , West Germ~y The situation of Catholic education in West Germany, is quite different from that of England, except that also in Germany state support is given to Church schools. According to the constitution of the German Federal Republic, the ,nation's eleven states, or Laender, have the right to' organize and carryon public eduation. There is neither federal legislation on the subject nor a federal ministry of education. In many states, the educational system offers parents and children three types of school, all of them public and entirely financed by' the civil authorities: denominational schools (Catholic or Lutheran); interdenominational schools; undenominational schools; The public denominational schools are Il!ostly, primary schools at all levels except uni,versity level. They receive from the states· a grant of 50 to 90 per cent of their operating expenses. In the state of Hamburg, for example, where the public schools are ordinarily religiously neutral, grants of 90 per cent are made. For reaso'ns of efficie'ncy and economy, there is a growing tendency in Germany to amalgamate denominational schools and make' them interdenominatial. This is causing concern to the bishops and those responsible' for Catholic education. France In France, where the Revolution of 1789 sought to make "the religion of. reason'" dominant,. public education is regarded as essentially a state function. Education is organized as a

central national service. i The state decides on the syllabus, appoints teachers and cqnfers all academic diplomas anq degrees, except a few giver by ! schools of engineering. French public educatiop is neutral and non-religious,; but the state recognizes its obligato ensure for pupils freedom of worship and freedom of religious ordinary instruction outside school hours., : France has 10,927 Catholic schools with 1.5 million students. The monolithic 'French educa-' tional structure .is modified by the recognition of freedom of education and the possibility of opening private schools to lexist by virtue of the constitutional principle of educational free(jom, but it grants them aid and financial support only in so far as each school taken separ~tely, agrees to associate itself iWith the official system of public instruction, to observe all its rules and to submit to pedagogic! and financial inspection by the ~tate. I

Debre Law 1 The basic French Law go~erning state aid to private e~uca tion is called the Debre Law, after former Premier' Michel Debre. ' : The law provides var~ing amounts of state aid to Catnolic schools, coupled with diff~rent degrees of state control over the schools. In general, I the greater the aid, the greater I the control.· Under the Debre Law, four plans are available to pri~ate, mainly Catholic, schools. I They can remain without s'tate control and without direct s'tate aid, but even in this case they 'receive addit(onal indirect help from the state through: increased financial grants to parents of schoo! children. The parcnts turn this mOI1ey over to :the scJ:1ools.1 At the other extreme, kny school has the option of becbming part of the public school system,' with all expenses paid and complete control by :the state. I A third choice, known as a "contract of assoCiation," gives the government control oyer teaching methods and c1~ss schedules. Religious instruct,ion is given during school hours. Teachers are named by the stkte and by school authorities from a . government list. The state p~ys teachers' salaries, which are ~ir tually the same as those paidf to public school teachers. Local governments must pay operating expenses in the same way they pay those of public schools. I Under a contract of assoc1ation, the state pays all or p~rt of the expenses for salari!,!s a:nd school operation, proportionate to· the number of classes following the public school pro. gram and the number of teacners certified according to public school requirements. I Fe.e for Religion Classes i Since the government assum,es all costs for associated classes, associated schools cannot charge tuition fees. But they ,may ~e quire a school fee for elective classes in religion, taught by! a chaplain, and for the upke~p of the school chapel.' ! " The fourth choice, called "sirttpIe contract," is available only to . elementary schools. It prbvides that the state pays half the salaries of teachers. Loc~1 governments may pay other 0": erating expenses. School authorities name teachers with the approval of the government, 'which has only. limited control over

"In Canada, under the British North America Act of 1867, each province retained t~e right to administer its own schools (the federal gover~ment is responsible for education in the · Yukon and Northwest terr~to ries).. Because of this, education in Canada appears to be a patchwork quilt. Canada In half of Canada's 10 provinces, tax money for, education is automatically funnelled into a separate school system-to.a point where, in Newfoundland, all schools are run by five large re!igious denominations. In Manitoba, British Columbia and three . maritime provinces, no state aid is given to. Catholic schools. In the Maritime provinces of Prince Edward Island; Nova Scotia and New Brun'swick, there are, in fact, no schools · that could be called Catholic · schools. In' those provinces, however, Sisters teach in public schools that have large. Catholic enrollments and ·that are, for, all practical purposes',' Catholic schools. In Alberta and Saskatchewan, there is complete parity of government support for Catholic schools and other denominational schools, from kindergarten to the end of high school. In Ontario, Canada's most populous province, separate' or , denom.inational schools at present receive' grants up to grade 10. Grades nine and 10 receive aid at the elementary school level. ' Catholics in Ontario are calling for government 'support for a fully integrated program from kindergarten to grade 13. In Quebec, almost all the schools are denominational and are supported by the province. , Canada has 4,541 Catholic schools with 930,514 students. In its continuation of a policy of little or no governmental aid on the local, state and federal levels to Catholic schools, the United States stands alone among countries with which it has close historical ties.

Sees Strong Opposition' To Political Imperialis'm

By BARBARA WARD

I::

. ;;:: ;;m;:: :::1 The kind of influence nations can exercise does not only depend upon them. It also depends upon what other peoples want, upon the world's current aspirations, perhaps above all upon what the nations do or do not take for granted in their relations with each other. When we ask ourselves these questions, we can see how radically men and nations have changed their views 'in the last two centuries. Throughout all the millenia of recorded history until say, the discovery and settlement of the Americas, people may, have objected to being conquered, enslaved and anni-. hilated. But no one thought it strange or improper or illegal or undemocratic. It was just the way things happened when one nation was strong and another weak. The only reason why in the 12th century the Chinese were not massacred by the invading Mongols had nothing to do with international law or international standards of acceptable behavior. Restraint was simply due to the Mongols' need for" a large and industrious work force. Kill the Chinese and who would grow the food? But in six years time from now, the United States will be celebrating ·tha 200th anniversary of its revolution and what 1776 did to the consciousness of mankind was to introduce a new principle-that imperialism, the political. control of one people by another, the subjugation of weak nations to strong nations, is not only unpleasant but wrong. America's Influence National self - determination, national equality, the democracy of nations-all these ideals, still unrealized but potent enough to change the face of the earth, all derive their original strength from the American Revolution. The kind of influence America can exercise in the planetary sense depends, inexorably, on the forces released by America's own revolution. A few centuries ago, the United States, given its overwhelming power, would have followed the Spaniards as colonizing overlord of Latin America. The Soviet Union, by reason of its enormous power, would have 'added the Turkish and Arab lands of the Middle East to its existing empire in Central Asia. But neither Great Power today can behave as they would have done before the American Revolution. And the inhibitions in

Continued from Page One Archbishop Dwyer is editorial board chairman of Twin Circle P~blishin~ Co.,. Inc., of Culver Glty, Cahf., which launched the 105,OOO-circulation Twin Circle less than three years ago. ~ulI Co~trol . Twm Circle Will assume full control of The National Register on Aug. 15, a spokesman said. It will move to Denver both its California offices and its printing operations, which have been handled by the Huntington, Ind., p,resses of another national weekly, Our Sunday Visitor. The- sale was said to involve only The National Register and not to affect either the Register's Denve~ .archdiocesan edition or 24 editions of other diocesan newspapers printed by the Register The two. newspapers will be separa~e . oper~tion~,. with thei.r own dlstmct Identities and edltorial approach, according to the men who will be running them. Dale Francis to Direct Dale Francis, veteran of 39 ye~rs as a writer, columnist and editor, was named by Archbishop Dwyer to full editorial direction of the National Register. Francis has been publisher of Twin Circle which has an editorial reputation of espousing conservative political and economic viewpoints and religious traditionalism. He was formerly executive editor of Our Sunday Visitor. The new editor of The NationaL Register said he. intended to see to it that the newspaper "will be primarily a newspaper." "Our effort," said Francis, "will be to cover the entire spectrum of' Catholic news, thought and attitudes. Editorial opinion will include writers from various viewpoints. "If anyone wants to make a prior classification of the paper under my editorship, let him understand that we will be faithful to the magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church but that our editorial aim will be to provide a moderate,. center position that will be open to all that is happening in the Church."

"In order to continue operating a printing plant, a certain volume is needed" said Father Flaherty.' "In the past two years, a number of diocesan editions once printed in the Register plant have ceased- publication." Other editions once printed in Denver are now being printed in local areas as autonomous diocesan newspapers. "In that same period," said the priiest, "printing costs of the Register-have risen considerably, and it is contemplated they will continue to rise in the next year. T~in Circle will bring needed and increased volume to the Register plant in the months ahead." Fr. Lyons, Editor Father Daniel Lyons, S.J., editor of Twin Circle since it was founded in November 1967, will continue as its editor. Francis will continue to write a page of comment in Twin Circle' although his chief responsibilities will be editing The Natinoal Register. Francis was in 1959 the first recipient of the St. Francis de Sales Award, given annually by tbe Catholic Press Association for outStanding contributions to Catholic journalism.

Orthodox Group Opposes Liturgy In English CHICAGO (NC)-The head of a newly organized Greek-Amer"lean group seeking the ouster of Greek Orthodox Archbishop Iakovos over proposals for English in the Orthodox liturgy said here members of his. organization will withhold parish contributions over the issue. . Dr.. Basil J. Photos, a physician and chairman of the annual Greek Independence Day Parade in Chicago, said he had be~n named president at a New York meeting of the numerically small Pan-American Council for the Preservation of the Greek Lan o guage and the Greek Orthodox Church in North' and South America. The group plans a continuing fight and a membership drive, he said. Photos described himself as president of the Greek-American Societies of Illinois. He came to the United States 23 years ago. ./ The council opposes a sweeping set of changes supported early in July by the 20th Biennial Greek Orthodox ClergyLay Congress and proposed by Archbishop lakovos. They include: permission to substitute English and vel'llacular tongues for Greek in liturgies; the first major revision of the basic Greek text for Orthodox rites since the 15th century; endorsement of greater autonomy on social issues for the Greek Orthodox archdiocese of North and South. America. Appeal to Patrlurch Photos said the New York meeting, attended by some 30 representatives of 20 GreekAmerican societies and federations, had sent a resolution to Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople (Istanbul) saying: "We do not accept him (lakovos) as the leader of the Greek Or- .. thodox Church in America. . . . We are not accepting any changes." The patriarch 'is the world spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodoxy. In New York, the Rev. George Bacopulos, chancellor of the archdiocese, declined to comment on the protest in the absence of Archbishop lakovos, who is in Athens starting a Summer ca'mp program for Greek Orthodox children from the United States. The archdiocese was not officially aware of the Pim-Ameriean Council's aims, the spokesman said, and no parish has issued a complaint against the stand taken by the clergy-lay congress.

Chicago to Adopt Diaconate Program CHICAGO (NC)-The Chicago archdiocese has announced plans to launch a 'program early next year to train laymen for ordination as permanent deacons. While training programs for permanent deacons are in various stages of development in 11 centers throughout the country, this will be the first attempt for a program here. Training will begin in January al:cording to Father John Ring, executive director of the Chicago archdiocesan office for the perc manent diaconate. He is currently in~olved in developing a phi.losoph,ical and theological basis for the program new to this area.
