Sees Important Role in Ecumenical J~ovf~ment for Newman Centers WASHINGTON (NC) - The Newman center on the secular Cllmpus ill going to play an in creasing~' important part in the e<~umenical movement in this country because it offers a ready mad~ platform fur dialogue and discussion. T·his is the prediction of Fr. Charles .Albright, C.S.P., who-.1or the past nine years has played a leading part in the growth of the· Newman apostolate. He is lE,aving Us position as coordi n,ating sel:retary for the National Newman Apostolate this Sep tE,mber to become director of the Newman program at Louisiana State University in New Orleans. "The implications of the Vati cnn coundl are going to have a rather immediate effect on the Newman movement," said Fath eJ' Albright in an interview. "U there is g:>IDg to be a formal ec umenical program in a diocese, there is :::10 better place for it than the Newman center." B.!st Atmosphere The Paulist priest said the Catholic center on the secular ClllDpUS o:Efers the "best possible atmosphe:~e" for interreligious talks bec~.use the typical college campus is a composite society that is dE!dicated to serious in quiry.
Already, he said s-tudents and priests have taken part in d·is cussions with their non-Catho Ire counterparts in a formal and organized way. Some of the Newman centers now being built are including facilities for ecumenical meetings. Father Albright, 43, came to the national Newman headquar ters at the' National Catholic Welfare Conference in 1955. Nine years ago, he recalled, there were only 100 full-time Newman chaplains in the U. S. This Fall there will be around 250 of them. There are now over 175 Newman centers on secular campuses in the U. S., more than twice the number of nine yeara ago.

Forecasts Congregational Singing at Most Masses
TO .THE NEW YORK
ST. LOUIS (NC)-A leading American Benedictine predicts the day will come when there will be congregational singing at virtually every Mass. Coadjutor Archabbot Rem bert Weakland, O.S.B., of St. Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, Pa., bases his forecast on the new Constitution on the Lit- They wi.J1 alternate with and urgy. He told -a special lead the faithful, as the case . may demand. . f th L' S t u d y seSSIOn. 0 e Iturg~"Rather than have them sing eal Week that In the past muSlC was looked on as "the 'handmaid' or complementary part, that helps, but is not really needed for the liturgy," But the constitution, he noted, asserts that music "forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy." "The need for active participation of the faithful in liturgical service is not new to the constitution," Archabbot Weakland noted, "but that the active participation of the faithful in song is the most noble form of worship is indeed an important emphasis that will radically alter the history of Catholic church music." Wbile indicating that the traaitional role of church choirs wi" be changed, the archabbot held that trained singers will be in greater need rather than less. He said of choir members: "At times they will sing, alone, parts of the Mass; at times one or the other of them will play the traditional role of cantor.
at one special Mass each week, I can hardly imagine a Mass witllout them eventually. The difficulty is that more-not less -will be demanded of them in singing a greater variety of ~ieces. Two or three (Mass) or aries that can be alternated while a new, more difficult, one is being prepared for Easter can not be the future function of the choir." •. , MUSICians Duty Ardb-abbot Weakland noted the constitution presents many chal lenges concerning c~urch music. "One of the great fears felt by many serious churoh musicians," he said, "is that in our haste to solve these problems, and es pecially that of participation of the faithful, we are faced with the alternative--either good mu sic without participation, or else sacrifice music for the higher ideal of participation. It is the duty of the musician within the next decade to prove that such an alternative is false."
or are prejudiced against the Church, according to Father Andrew. The Chur'ch has to find a way of talking to people who think and speak differently, he said. But he added that this does not just apply to broadcasting but to priests preaching to their own people and to teachers, among others. "I 00 not think we have done any real work at all on this and I do not think that we are totally honest about it either," Father Andrew said. "I think we are great bluffers and that we get away with words instead of thoughts all the time." So far $308,000 has been raised for planned extension to the na tional Catholic Radio and Tele vision Center at Hatoh End near London, the meeting was told. Another $532,000 is still needed. The center trains people for radio and television broadcast ing, holds conferences and study courses and hopes with its ex tensions to make films.
Complete Communications Course At Latin American Institute BOGOTA (NC) - Forty-six students from 11 countries have just completed the first course of the Latin American Institute of Mass Communications here in Columbia. Their graduation here marked a not her milestone in the Church's efforts to overcome the pressing problems of socio-eco nomic growth and lack of educa tion in the underdeveloped eountries of Latin America. The graduates, whose ages range from 22 to 46, will take home the experience gained in four months of intensive study. The courses included socio-eco nomic development, rural sociol ogy, community development, audio-visual teaching material, journalism and other associated subjects. The director of the institute,

Urges British Catholic Utilize Radio, TV to Promote Church MANCHESTER (NC)-B=-:;Sh Catholics are not taking full ad vantage of radio and television to promote the ~rk of the Church, according to an expert in the field. Fat her Agnellus Andrew, O.F.M., director of the Catholic Radio and Television Guild, told its annual Summer school here that Catholics have so far failed to realize the tremendous oppor tunities the two media offer in this field and in the work of ed ucation. Other regions-he men
tioned South America and Italy in particular-have been quick er to seize the opportunities of fered both in education' and in helping people. One main problem is putting tlv-er an idea to people who do Dot understand or accept the Catholic religion, he said. These people do not really understand the meaning of sin, guilt, re pentence, sanctification, redemp tion, grace and many other words commonly used by Cath olics. Some do not want to hear

Dr. Jose de Recasens, noted: "Our object in this course was not to give a university educa tion. That would be impossible in the short time available, but we did set out to open up minds to the realities of a continent in revolutionary social change.

Prc[)vin4:e to Aid Private· Schools REGINA (NC)-Saskatchewan province's private high schools appear certain of getting gov ernment grants in 1965 for the first time in history. PrE'mier Ross Thatcher said legislation providing for the grants would, be introduced at the Spring session of the Sas katehewan Legislature. ReJ)resenta~;ives of the 16 pri vate high schools now operated by religious ~:roups in the Cana dian province have been meeting with the Edueation Minister dis cusssing the l~rant formula. Need Assistance Schools aff,~cted are Lutheran, Anglican, Mennonite Catholic and Jii:vangeHcal. The proposed private high school grant legis lation will 1I0t interfere with legislation passed earlier this year which allows separate school boards to set up their own high Ilchool d:,stricts. Ptremier 'Ilhatcher said: "This
doesn't go as far as help to pub lic schools, bt:.t it is a step in the right directioIl. We believe if this assistance were not avail able, :wme of these schools might' be forced to dose and their stu dents thrown on the public school system."

College Is Step To Ecumenism In Education VICTORIA (NC) - The Catholic bishop here in Brit ish Columbia said the pro posal to set up a college jointly with area Anglicans amounts to a practical extension ef ecumcnism into education. In an interview, Bishop Remi De Roo of Victoria commented on the plan that he and Anglican Archbishop Harold Sexton sug gested some months back for Ii jo~nt college affiliated with the government's University of Vic toria. A resolution favoring the i.dea Is before the university's senate. If approved, the new college of arts and education would be the first of its kind in the English speaking world. "It is simply a matter of the transmission of Western culture within the framework of its .Tudaeo-Christian roots," t 1Il e Bishop said. "It is necessary in the world Of today to assist students in penetrating their learning with Ohristian wisdom and we cannot be sure they will get this Chris tian perspective on the secular campus." There is no state aid for pri vate schools in British Columbia. In the public schools, there is no provision for religious instruc tion. Only a five-minute prayer period with no commentary is permitted. , Bishop De Roo and Archbishop Sexton have proposed that there lite one college under joint con trol, but within the college the two communions will have full freedom to offer their own eourses. Such a college affiliated with • provincial university, would be entitled to receive govern ment grants. "We do not plan an exclusive ieligious group on the campus but an ecumenical' center which would meet the academic stand ards of the university," Bishop De Roo said. The . college would be the -toea 1 point of the ecumenical endeavor on the campus," and eventually other religious groups. would be invited to its facilities he said. '

Controversial Cursillo Movement to Come To Fall River Diocese in November'

HNS Unit Says Court Decisions Aid Pornography
With the announcement that the first Cursillo in the Fan River Diocese will be held Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 5 through 8 at La Salette retreat house in Attleboro one of the most. discussed '!10vements in the American Church has literally come to our door step,. What IS the CursIllo? Why do "Cursillistas" speak of it, almost always, in the most TRENTON (NC)-A res .

other hand, do some critics . Name Society group said feel it is "source of bad the pornography is flooding the ology and grave spiritual nation "under the protection of danger"? The Cursillo is Spanish il\ origin and its full title is "Cur. sillos de Cristianidad," Little Courses in Christianity. Essen tially, it is a three-day program of intensive prayer, study, dis cussion and community living directed by both priests and lay~ men. "The aim," say originators, "is to lead today's men and women to genuinely God-centered lives and to inspire them to be active in the apostolate." Although one makes only one Cursillo there is a follow-up program ol week ly small meetings and larger gatherings at' less frequent in tervals, designed to keep alive the Cursillo spark. Approval of a priest is needed before one is admitted to a Cur sillo and ordinarily husbands must make one before their wives are able to do so, although single women and Sisters are eligible for the women's courses. One such Sister who made a Boston Cursillo recently told fellow Cursillistas that the ex perience had been the greatest event in her nearly 25 years of religious life. Diocesan Participants In the Fall River Diocese a large group from St. Stanislaus parish, Fall River, led by Rev. Anthony Rocha, has already made the Cursillo and is enthu siastic over the experience. A few members of Notre Dame parish, also Fall River, have also traveled outside the Diocese for the course. In charge of reservations for the forthcoming Attleboro Cur sillo is Dr. Joseph F. Kerrins, 150 Pleasant Street, Attleboro. Application forms are obtain able from him. This initial Cursillo will be for men. Writing in the Boston Pilot in March, Rev. William K .. Mc Donough, priest from Fairfield, Me., notes that the first Cursilio in English was conducted in 1961. Since that time it has spread to 20 states and 35 Dioceses, and was described at the Ecumenical Council by its founder, Spanish Bishop Juan Hervas. Answering the objection that it is'impossible to effect a change in men's lives in three days, as the Cursillo claims to do, Bishop Hervas said at the Council, "Re peated experience proves that in three days it is possible to change a man's mentality." Another objection is that a Cursillo is a sort of "spiritual hoot~nanny" or revival meeting, playmg on the emotions of par. ticipants. It is far from this, says Father McDonough, declaring that the predominant emotion of a Cursillo is joy. "If there are a few tears, they are tears of joy." :Joy the Keynote Christ said, notes Father Mc Donough, "I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoiee, and your joy no one shall take from you." "Perhaps this text comes nearer than anything to pin pointing the unique impact of Cursillo. 'I will see you * * * and your heart shall rejoice." For somewhere during Cursillo this promise is fulfilled * * * Incred ible though it may seem, every Cursillista encounters Christ in tuitively, suddenly, uniquely dif ferently, in an experience that is impossible to explain.

DIOCESAN CURSILLISTAS: Among enthusiastic members of Diocese who have made Cursillos are, left coup le, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Vitullo and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ozug. All are members of St. Stanislaus parish, Fall River. In an analytic article in Ave Maria magazine, William Jacobs presents some Cursillo pros and cons, noting that most "of the heated statements against the movement are based on mis understanding" and also stress ing that many objectors have not "seen for themselves" by actu ally making a Cursillo. In favor of the Cursillo he -says "in general, it is capabie of being a highly effective instru ment of inspiring leaders for our apostolate"; it affects most Cursillistas beneficially for a long time after attendance; it melts class, racial and national ity barriers; it wonderfully im proves relations between priests and laity; it contains remark able educational psychology and excellent means of improving the worship of the average sin cere Catholic; and lastly it has in some cases produced dramatic regenerations of weak Catholics. In opposition to the movement, he notes that it's in danger of being regarded as an "instant salvation pill," and it attracts some fanatics; it may produce cliques; it "teaches nothing that could not be taught in less dra matic fashion, possibly with deeper and more lasting results"; and it contains the danger of

giving "too much too soon" in the spiritual life with the possi bility of subsequent disillusion ment; there's a tendency among some Cursillistas to regard the Cursillo "almost as a contlition of salvation" and to look down upon those who have made one and been unimpressed. Jacobs stresses, however, that the Cursillo may vary accord ing to time, place, personnel and participants, and notes that he walked out of his first Cursillo, but made one at a later date and was so impressed that he imme diately became a volunteer worker in the movement. His conclusion is that "the score really isn't in yet on the English Cursillo, but the good seems to outweigh the bad." His article, however, was followed by a spate of letters to the editor of Ave Maria, all enthusiasti cally in favor of the CursillG nearly all detailing personai gains made from participating in it.

The resolution was adopted unanimously by the more than 600 men who turned out for an anti-smut forum here sponsored by the Coordinating Committee of the Holy Name Societies 'of New Jersey. The resolution approved the appointment of a 24-man com mittee, six from each of the four dioceses in the state, which is charged with recommending to the people of New Jersey and the nation "such practical steps as may destroy the opportunities for profit to the purveyors of obscenity." Presented by John J. Rafferty, representing the Trenton Dioc esan Union of Holy Name Soci eties, the resolution stated: 'Thrust Upon People' "The printing, distributidn and sale of obscene and indecent lit erature and pornography of every description is being thrust upon the people of our state and of our nation by the purveyors of these obnoxious communica tions under the protection of the decisions of the United States Supreme Court construing the :fiirst amendment to our federal constitution. "It appears therp is no reason able hope of interruption of thi1l nefarious traffic by any decision of the United States Supreme Court as the same is presently constituted, m 0 r e especially since that bigh court by its de cision in the case of Jacobellis v. Ohio, decided June 22, 1964, did particularly reserve to itself fJhe power of ultimate decision as to whether or not, in point of fact, a partJicular work is 0b scene and therein rejected the proposal that decision as to the fact of obscenity should reside within the courts of the several states."

The accent is indeed upon the young, but in the midst of all this attention being paid to them the place of the aged in the community must never be overlooked or reduced to a minor one. Those who have borne the burden of the day and the heat must never be pushed aside simply because they lack the physical vitality and the unfulfilled poten- ~ tiality of the young. Striking words along these lines were spoken three years ago by Rabbi Abraham Heschel at a White House Conference on the Aging, words that any society would do well to keep prominently before its eyes. He said then: "What we owe the old is reverence, but all they ask for is consideration, attention, not to be discarded, forgotten. What they deserve is preference yet we do not even gra:nt them equality. One father finds it possible to sustain a dozen children, yet a dozen children find it impossible to sustain one father. The test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care of the old, the incurable, the helpless, are the true gold mines of a people." These words should burn in the minds and consciences of all-~s a reminder of what individuals and society owe the aged, as a reproach to those who would shirk their re sponsibilities to their own when these are in the Autumn of their lives.

Christianity in the Market Place Pope Paul has thrilled many men by his offer in his encyclical letter to put himself at the disposal of hostile nations that he may help keep peace in the world. It is the offer of a true father of the world and it is also a dangerous one. But he is willing to risk the dangers to his prestige if ~e__can be of help to men. The European Jesuit Father Jungmann summed up this willingness of Christianity to enter into the market places and to involve itself with the world and its problems when he wrote: "However much Christianity may tran scend this earth in its origin and its appointed goal, it must nonetheless develop and establish itself in this world. It cannot be content to build up a quiet existence in a 'purely religious' sphere, away from the noisy market place of life. Rather in its myriad contacts with the world and with life it must everywhere seek to procure the victory of God's law, so that finally, from out this universe, that manifestation of divine excellence be achieved in which the ·order of creation and the order of grace blend together in one sole hymn." This is what all recent Popes have told Christians that religion is not a Sunday affair.or even a private affair but a life that must be lived. The Christian, said Pope Pius XI, must "restore all things in Cl).rist." Pope Pius XII did not hesitate to lay down principles to guide Christians in every profession and concerning most aspects of their lives. Pope John said that the Christian cannot hate the world but must convert it, does not war with the world but enters it to change it. And Pope Paul has given every indication that the burden of his pontificate is to awaken men to the mystery and wonder of the Church, to renew in them what needs to be renewed, so that they through the Church might bring Christ and His salvation to every manner and condition of man throughout the world.

again has Jesus recommending
a child as lesson and model for the Chris'jan life and 1::lessing those who "give welcome" to children in His name. This ministry to the defense less and to the "least" of the brethren is ever an important one in the Church. It is one of the functions of the Church which helps it teach the world that the basic value and impor tance of the human person is in God's love of him and not in any talent or accomplishment. 'fOMORROW-St. Augustine, Bishop, Doctor. This Mass in honor of a great teacher calls our atten·jon to the various ministries of teaching which are exercised at Sunday Mass. The Bishop or :;>riest who presides at Mf,ss teaches, particularly in the homily or Hermon, but also in his whole manner of leading the prayer and song and action of thE' community. The Lectors or Re;aders teach, by their reverent proclamation of the Word of Godin the Bible readings. ,]~he commentator teaches, by discreetly helping us to under stand the meaning of the signs we handle and the progression of the serv ice. Cantors or choir teach, by clothing the good news in music. And each member of ·the . congr,~gation teaches his br(),thers by the will and spirit in which he enters into common prayer and song. SA'rURDA·...-Beheading of St. John the Baptist. Today we praise the total lack of fear which should characterize the Christian in his service of the Lord. Like John, we should not fear the unbeliever, even when he sits on the king's throne. And how much less should we fear one another. What a trag edly it would be if Christians were to fear to confess Christ fully and openly in all human situations not because of per secutors without but because of repression and a strange use of aut:hority within the commu nit3' of beli,~vers! FlFTEENT SUNDAY ARTER PENTECOST. Each of us was the widow's son at our baptism (Gospel), :.n that once-for-all immersion into the Mystery of Christ, Unifier of and Hope giver for the human race. There eaclll of UoS was brought from a
human inheritance of isolation and enstrangement into a broth erhood of faith and love, from death to life, from guilt to grace. And we are all the widow's son at Mass, at every Eucharist. We have known the little deaths of sin, of confusion and perplex ity, of doubt and despair. Yet we gather around the altar again -believers, despite our unbe lief-to be raised again among the living, to be incorporated afresh into the pattern of Christ's Death-and-and Resurrection. MONDAY-St. Raymond Non Datus, Confessor. The saints bear witness to the progress pos sible to those who take this pat tern of Christian life seriously. It is no meaningless cycle, no goal-less repetition - death to life, death to life, death to life. It invites the Christian on each occasion more deeply into Christ, into the meaning of death-to-life in Christ. So that he becomes more and more alert (Gospel) to the real forces of death and diminishment in his situation and more secure in tihe life which matters and trans forms them. TUESDAY-Mass as on SUD da;r. The Eucharist is the great central Sacrament of that pat ter~. In this holy sign, the Savior -raises the dead to life repeated ly, heals the wounds of our sins, restores our vision, cements the fragments of our lives together in His i.mage, and by our com mon prayer and song, by our sharing one table and one holy supper, requires us to be recon ciled with one another, to for give one another, to be at peace. We are the widow's son. We gather at the altar to be quick ened by the sacramental touch of Christ. We come to have· the death of selfishness reduced and minimized in Us by the life of the Spirit, which in Jesus' lan guage is no different from the love of one's brothers. WEDNESDAY - St. Stephen, Confessor. This gift of life is a talent to be used (Gospel). "If ever a man is rich, gifts will be made to him, and his riches will abound." This life begets itself, tends to increase; and so, to suf focate it, to fail to encourage it, is to suffer an increasing poverty. The pattern of death-to-life is repeated so that the life aspect may become more and more ltominant in the thought and ac tion of the Cpristian man.

Father Kino's statue, expected to be unveiled in the Spring 'of 1965, wHl pe Arizona's second contribution in the Nationm. Statuary Hall in the Capitol.· The resolution permits tem porary placement of the statue in the Capitol rotunda a·nd even tual location in Statuary Hall when space permits. Early Missioner Father Kino will become the third priest honored with a stat ue in the Capitol's collection. Others are also missionarieS: Father Junipero Serra, O.F.M.. representing CaHfornia and Fa ther Jacques Marquette, S.J., representing Wisconsin. An Italian from Tyrol, Father Kino gave up a career in math ematics and astronomy to come to the New World in 1681. He established some 25 missions throughout the Southwest and Mexico, taught Indians to culti vate crops - such as wheat and corn and mapped much of the unknown lands of California and Arizona in some 35 mapping ex peditions. Conn. Sculptress Congress in 1962 acted on a resolution to put a statue in the Capitol in connection with that year's observance of the 250th anniversary of Father Kino's death and the 50th amli versary of Arizona, but techni cal and parliamentary difficul ties prevented action. The statue of Father Kino is being sculptured 'by Belgian born Baroness Suzanne Silver cruys, whose stUdio is in North Windham, Conn. She was select ed in 1963 by the Arizona Gov ernor's Committee for the Kino Memorial Statue in Tucson. Arizona's other representative in the Capitol statuary is a like ness of John C. Greenway, a U.S. Army hero and mining ex pert. He played a· leading role in development of Arizona's copper mines and served vaJient ly in both the Spanish-Ameri can War and World War I.

Supreme Knight Urges K of C Change Rules NEW ORLEANS (NC) Supreme Knight John W. McDevitt has asked the Knights of Columbus to use "charity and justice, and these factors alone" in selecting candi dates for membership in the Catholic fraternal organization. His statement was issued at the opening session of the 82nd annual meeting of the K. of C. supreme council. The supreme board of direc tors, McDevitt said, "has repeat edly pointed out that member ship shall be open to all Catholic men regardless of ethnic back ground or economic status. "We have before us the oppor tunity to remove any semblance of the discrimination. charge which currently is held against us," he declared. Discriminatory Procedures McDevitt said the time has eome "when we can no longer elose our eyes to the fact that the so-called blackball proce dure is an outmoded admission process which permits a definite minority to act in such a way that this criticism is justified." Ten state councils have pro posed to the national body that the membership regulations be modified. Under existing proce dures, an applicant can be re fused membership in a local council if five negative votes are east against him. These proce dures have been seen by many as being discriminatory against Negroes. In his statement, McDevitt told convention delegates: "We should amend our rules govern ing the process of membership selection and thereby remove forever the opportunities of prejudice that tend to dilute judgment." Moral Leadership He noted that the supreme eouncil has no direct control over the judgment of individ ual members. However, he Md ed. "you and I have it within our power to exercise powerful moral leadership in this matter. "Therefore," he continued, ""we affirm that we are by 'act what we profess by faith. We proc~aim that we are unwilling to witness or permit any undoing of a human right;' "This is the· basic position to which the 'Knights of Columbus, 8 society of Catholic men, have always been committed. Any de parture from this moral standard would be a breach of- trust, a challenge to the charity of our Creator as is consistent with the principles of our order."

"Buildings are only as important as what we do with them," declared Rev.John Breen, M.M., son of Mrs. Mary C. Breen of Somerset. A missionary in Guatamela since his ordi nation in 1951, Father Breen is on home lea ve until Sept. 21. Speaking to a group of long time supporters of his mission WQrk at a gathering in Fall River, the Maryknoller ex plained that what he does with the buildings their con tributions have helped him . erect is to conduct a girls' school and trade school, teach adult natives of his mission territory to "read and write, dispense medical treatment and counsel his flock in a hundred different matters. Future plans include forma tion of a radio school, which will teach Indians far distant from his mission headquarters in the Huehuetenango mountains of Guatemala. "We will have re ceivers in each village and cate chists will aid in instructing the
people."
Experimental Gardens An important part of Father Breen's help-yourself program for Indians in his territory is
growing experimental gardens
in native villages. "The people had never eaten vegetables be fore we showed them how to
cook them. We can't lecture them on efficient farming meth ods-we have to show them that our ways work, and this is what the experimental gardens do." As an example of improved agriculture methods, the mis sioner said that previously Indi ans harvested 200 pounds of potataes for each 100 pounds of seed potatoes planted. Now, using better potatoes imported by Father Breen, the yield goes up to 1,400 pounds per 100 pounds of seed potatoes. Nearly 600 Indian boys are enrolled in his parochial school, said Father Breen. "The first Indian boy got his sixth grade diploma last year, and when you realize that the principal of the local public school has no more than that, you see what an ac complishment it was!" . Several Indian boys are in area seminaries, added ,Father Breen, but emphasized that his real accomplishments have been with the Indian girls. "Before our girls' school started, the Indian girls were considered less than animals. They worked at home and never spoke to outsiders." It was very difficult to get parents to agree to send their daughters to Father Breen's three year training course, he said, but now 17 girls-have grad uated froIr,l the school, of whom 11 are already married. "They have spread new ideas to others in a way that our men students have never done. They planted gardens, taught other women how to cook, showed mothers
infant care and set an example
of cleanliness in their persons
and their homes."
Training women is better than
training men, he said, because
it is the women who run the
house, raise the children and
teach their families.
"When we train an Indian
man, we produce a carpenter or
a farmer or a mechanic," the
missioner explained. "But when
we teach basic standards of
moral and physical health to a
woman who will be a wife and
Illother, we are really teaching
a whole generation."
Varied Curriculum
In addition to household arts,
girls learn reading and writing
in Spanish, hand and machine
sewing, weaving, personal hy
giene and child care. They aid
in Father Breen's clinic, even
pulling teeth and giving injec
tions, and have gone to neigh.
boring villages to teach princi
pals of animal husbandry and
agriculture.

Use of Airplanes !~ In Mission Work!
NEWTON (NV) - Since taking a new job Abbot Charles V. Coriston, O.S.B.,
of Jersey is a man with his feet on the ground and "Ilind in the air. .

Says Sincere Catholic Action
Begins With Changing Self
Plan ChaNce Gift To Mrs. Kennedy
By John J. Kane, Ph.D. "Members of a relative's family are considered out ltanding Catholics, daily communicants, sing in the choir, and are active in every drive. All the children went to Cath olic schools, the husband is a big wheel in the K.C., the wife president of the Rosary so and wife. It simply isn't possible. ciety. Yet I know of no more I don't belil:!ve that the ugly miserable home to visit. type of life occurring in the When company leaves, man home you describe is traceable Ders come off and the atmo sphere ranges from ugly sounds to full seale w8?fare. In my father's home I heard little about Catholic action but I
,remember love
tand mutual respect. What's
the answer?»
The answer, Jane, is that none of us quite live up to ex pectations. Despite our best ef
!arts to be good Catholics and ROod citizens, good husbands and good wives, good SODS and good daughters, we all some.. times fall short of these goals. It all started a long time ago in a place known as the Garden of Eden. Two Groups However, there are reasons besides original sin which may help you understand the situa ation about which you complain. There are two kinds of human groups. One is the small, inti mate, personal group such as you have in the family or in the neighborhood. The other is the large, impersonal, formal type of group such as you have in a large organization or association. In the smaIl, intimate group, people know each other fairly well. They see each other every day under all kinds of circum lltances--in sicknesss, in health, in misery, in joy. As a result it is very difficult to deceive other members of this group. This is especially true in the family circle. On Beet Behavior 10 a larger group orassocla aon, people see only one facet of another person's personality. They may know the individual • a member of a labor union, or a fraternal organization. They see the other person rarely, and they see him under very special mcumstancea in which he is never trulJ' revealed to other people. This is exactly the case of the family you mention. When they have compa.D7, they are on their best behavior. They reveal only certain aspeets of their person: aIity to those who are visiting. They put their best foot forward. 110 one can blame them for this. On the other hand, when the eompany haa left, things become rather miserable. This is unfor tunate. For what you have said, I fear, there is an actual revela tion of the true personalities of the family members. Some of this, of course, is understand
ale. In fact, one of the very good things about family life 11 that one can "be hiinself" there, but be needn't be a very miserable .elf. Sometimes it is said that if husband and wives treated each other as though they were strangers. life would be pleas anter. Within limits, this is true. But if husband and wife treated each other as strangers, they would miss all of the rich living that goes with being a husband

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Mrs. John F. Kennedy will receive a jeweled gold chalice in memory of her late husband from a group of Knights of Columbus next month in Washington. The chalice, inlaid with emer alds and inscribed with the pres idential seal, will be a gift of fourth degree Knights of' the Guadalupe province, composed of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mex ico, Mexico and Cuba. It is a K. of C. custom to pre sent a chalice to the family of a deceased member. The relatives then usually give it to a priest or missionary. Mrs. Kennedy was earlier given a chalice by the Knighta in EI Paso, Tex:. -
a
to Catholic action. As matter of fact, quite the opposite. You seem to intimate that while you heard little about Catholic ac tion in your own home, you do remember love and mutual re spect. Let me assure you that these things are not incompat ible at all As a matter of fact, in sincere Catholic action, the first kind of action begins with changing of one's self. No one can be a real leader in the field of Cath olic action unless he himself has already attained the foundations' of a truly spiritual life. Family Quarre,ls
All families have scraps. Be
cause family members do live in
such continuous, personal, inti
mate contact with each other,
it would be strange if occasional
quarrels did not break out.
Daughters quarrel with each
other about the wearing of each other's clothing, sons fight about who had the car last and failed to put in gas. Father and mother may occasionally have some sharp exchanges over bills and money. All of this must be taken in stride. None of it is desirable, but some of it' is inevitable. The point is that it can be controlled, and I think this is where the family you describe makes a serious mistake. Despite the frequency with which they receive the sacra ments, engage in Catholic action, and corporal works of mercy, they fail to make this an inti mate part of their lives. What they' need is someone to call at tention to the fact that a great deal of their religious behavior is largely external, not internal. They need to internalize those Catholic values which they now merely externalize. 'Bolier ThaD Thou' If you can speak to them calmly and charitably, it may help. Particularly if there is. any member of the family who is very close to you, it might be a good idea to raise this question with him or her. Sometimes people are quite unaware 01 how inconsistent their behavior is. As a matter of fact, it is very difficult for any one of us to carry on an objec tive self analysis. So it is good occasionally for someone to draw us up sharp. However, this all depends on how it is done, and if you elect yourself as the person to do something about it, be very careful how you ap proach the matter. There is probably no family in the entire 'world without its intra-family problems. In most cases they are unknown to the world at large, but they do exist. They are so prevalent that it ill behooves anyone of us to as sume a holier than thou atti tude. All we have to do to be humble is look into oUr own families and see problems there.

The center, which includes the Pope Pius XII Theater, a wing containing living qUarters for trainees, and a series of shops' on the ground floor, is the result of efforts by Spanish-born Father Francis Benac, S.J.

BERLIN (NC) 80,000 Catholics made a pilgrimage to Poland's national Marian shrine on Jasna Gora at Czes toch6wa on the feast of the As sumption despite the fact that their country's communist re gime has harassed many of those who made a similar pilgrimage last December, The harassment, during which many pilgrims were "treated in an inhuman manner," was re ported in a protest sent earlier this year by the PoUsh Bishops to Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz. The protest also denounced the revival of secret police activity against the Church. Signed by Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of Po},and, and Auxiliary Bishop Sy~munt Choromanski of Warsaw, secre tary of the Polish bishops' con ference, the protest memoran dum said the ha,rassment of pil ~ms amounted to police perse cution. The text of the letter has just reached the free world.

Bishop and Twenty Priests Concelebrate In 'New Canadian Cathedral By Rev. John R. FoIster ~ . The first solemn concelebration in No. America was offered on Friday, August 21. to e~wn the 4th Congress 'on Spirituality held at Nicolet, P.Q., Canada. The ceremony was a Solemn Pontifical Mass during which the Bishop of Nicolet concelebrated with 20 ~ his priests. By chance-and the blessing of God-this writer was attracted to the modern cathedral by the joyful ring- Vatican Cou~cil's Liturgical.de throne with crozier in hand, the ing of bells, nuns in all types crees. One could not decide Bishop delivered a brief, moving of costumes, b rot her s , whether he was somehow trans ·and meaningful homily. priests and prelates - all ported to the early ages of the New Prayers headed for the great modern' domes. I stopped a priest to ask if there was some special ceremony. "Oh yes," he replied, "the bishop is pontificating and some 20 priests will concelebrate with him." Setting The present cathedral of Nicolet is very modern having been recently built to replace the older cathedral ruined in a landslide. Externally it seems a group of great domes. Its entrance is through a solid glass wall that bathes the congregation in joyful colors. A curving porch protects those passing" through its doors. To the side of the entrance a straight box-like tower contains a magnificent clarion and is surmounted by a great guilded cross. On the" inside, everything has been built to make the cathedral understood an d participation facilitated in every way. In the center of the sanctuary against the back wall stands the episcopal throne under a slender arch of contrasting light and dark woods. Immediately before the throne -in the very center of the sanctuary - stands a black marble altar. It is a simple table. Six great candelabra stand on the ground at its sides and a precious silver cross stands independently of th, altar at the center." Elevated pews line thl! curving walls behind which are the organ and the sacristy. The community seats are in a fan-shaped area permitting all to witness and participate easily. The acoustics are perfect. The Mass was a fruitful harvest and execution of th~ Second

Usual servers led the way and were followed by visiting clergy and prelates. The deacon and subdeacon then began the offi cial members 'of the ceremony. They were followed by 20 'priests fully vested for Mass. Then came the Bishop in solemn procession with his assistants. The procession was accom panied by the chant of people and. ohoir singing the entrance psalm of the Introit. Upon his entrance to the sanc tuary, the Bishop received the aspergium and blessed the clergy and the people there. He then incensed the altar-going com. pletely around the altar. As soon as the Bishop was en throned, the Kyrie was taken up. It was sung in Greek. Each of its three parts was also di vided into three: the first sung by the choir, repeated by the clergy and then by the people. Then the Bishop rose to in tone the Gloria in French. It was not recited along with the sing. ing. Then the Bishop prayed the Collect in Latin as soon as it had been first explained to the peo· pIe by a commentator. Then the subdeacon mounted the pulpit to slowly and solemn ly read the Epistle. The Gradual was read by the commentator and then sung by both people and choir, as was the Alleluia. After singing the Introduction to the Gospel, it too was solemnly'read to the people in the ver. Dacular. Then, &ittina at his

The commentator would announce a particular in tention and petition; the people would sing "Lord, have mercy"; then would follow a brief per sonal silent prayer. Mentioned were: 1) Universal Church; 2) the Pope and Bishops of the Church; 3), the rulers of the world's nations; 4) the sick and those in trouble; 5) all Christian peoples; 6) all those present for the ceremony. The Creed was then sung in INTERIOR OF NICOLET French by people and choir. Then the Sacrifice was prepared. over the offerings in the usual Offertory The Bishop and his assistants manner.

Says Encyclical
Sets B'ack- U·nity
NEW YORK (NC)-A Baptist 'observer at the two sessions of the second' Vatican Council claimed Pope, Paul's first encyc lical has "set back the cause of Chris~an unity from, the iD6titu," tional 'and doctrinal viewpoint." Dr. Stanley I. Stuber, in a twO-:page s~atelnent· 00 the' PJe.,;. clesiam Suam encyclical, con ceded the pontiff has "left open the doors of Christian, coopera-' tion and. Christian fei'lowshij» across interfaith lines." '. ' But the Baptist" leader 'said the :ericyclical ,raised several "serI ous" questions. Among the qUe.l; , tions, he said; are: "Will . the Roman Catholic Church'insist that papal primacy and infallibility be .absoltite re quirements in a united 'churoh? "What will be the relationship of l>symen and clel'lgy in the' new united church? "Does ~ot Christian union from Pope Paul's view actually mean reunion with Rome?" Dr. Stuber said ',such' questions eannot be answered until the, . eouncil completes its agendQ.

POPE PAUL ENCYCLICAL
Church's Role One of S4erviice to Men
The Church is apostolic. What do we mean? It is not enough to say that it is founded on the twelve Apos tles picked by Christ or even that it is governed and served today by the succcessors of these very same apostles. We must mean,' points out Pope Paul in his encyclical, that its purpose of existence today is the very same as in the days of the apos tles: "Go, preach all nations
•• *"
"The Church has something to say * * * the Church has a mes sage" today for all men no mat ter what they call themselves and it must eagerly and zealous ly bring this "Good News" to all men-as did the apostles. In describing the various kinds of men in the world with whom the Church must establish and maintain contact, the Pope used the figure of ever-widening circles. Drop a pebble in a pool and as the wavelets flee; freeze the picture in your mind - a kind of bull's-eye. The tiny intimate circle near est the center represents the tiny number of Catholics in the world today. Then come the more numerous denominational ly multiplied Christians separ ated from Catholicism. These are surrounded by an even greater number of God-fearing men who have not yet heard, or appreci ated The Christ. And for nearly as far as you can imagine, there huddle together all those who in theory or practice do not ac cept the fact of the eX,istence of God. The Church is not the high fence formed to protect the little flock and keep all outsiders out. Pope Paul emphasizes that the Church is the instrument of God created simply to bring God to all men. She must preach all the time; she must be aware of her mission so that every opportu nity is valued, every contact is an invested talent. Church Is Instrument Every drop of energy must be utilized in this apostolicity. The Church and all the members of the Church-regardless of their respective positions and digni ties - must realize that they exist so as to serve. The Church is God's instrument of salvation -the normal means to be used by God and by man. But an instrument may quick ly gather rust. Thus there is great need for reform. Institu tion.s, ',manners of acting, per sons, etc., must be reformed not so much because they have strayed from the path, of Christ, but especially 80 as to make their activity that much the more dedicated, effective, at tractive, Christ-like. Doctrine Faithfulness Such a renewal of service, a burst of energy, would demand that all we do, all we touch, all our activity, all be put to the service of apostolicity. Yet the Pope points out two things we must not sacrifice but strength en: our faithfulness to truth; our
Florida Women Send Medicines to Mission WINTER PARK (NC)-Near ly two tons of medicines have been sent to Catholic missions overseas in the past two years by • small group of women here, organized as the St. Margaret Mary Women's Guild. Mrs. O. J. Arnold, chairman of the group, reported that the Women have dispatched as many as 19 cartons of medicines solic ited from doctors in one week. She said the cost of the project is not more than $15 a year.

primary dependence on God's means. No Matter how wonderful it would be to have Christian Unity ;~ealized within our life time, no matter what great ben efits would thus be realized, no matter what scandals might be removed, there can be no com promise in matters of that faith taught and handed down by Christ. Here the Church has no authority to change Christ's teaching no matter how wonder ful the human effect. The only product of such action would be betrayal. Equality of religious groups might be an emotional desire. We are equal before God as per 'sons. However, the response to Christ's call has not been equal down through the centuries. It might seem to some an asset to have all bishops equal but it m'ust also be remembered that Christ did raise one of them as the leader and His personal rep resentative. As a matter of fact, the Pope points out, the exis-
Report Missions In Difficulty LISBON (NC)-Despite subsi dies from the government, Cath olic missions in the Portuguese east African territory of Angola are in serious financial difficul ties, Archbishop, Moises Alves de Pinho, C.S.Sp., of Luanda re ported here. The archbishop said in an in-' terview that it is particularly hard to provide missioners with transportation to care for mis sion posts throughout the terri tory, nearly twice the size of Texas. Archbishop Alves de Pinho said he plans to organize his See on a parish basis, at least in the larger towns, so that Catholics become accustomed to contributing toward support of the Church. He, reported that in spite of minor acts of terrorism along the Congolese frontier in the north, the rest of' the territory is calm and large numbers of im. migrants are arrivina.
tenee and the activity of the , primacy of the Pope is what giv€!S the Church its unity tone. Poverty N ceded TlJ.e Pope also poi.nted out that though we must use every op portunity to be open to all men, we should depend more on the ,spiritual than on ~he material. Our world has given us a thirst for l~adgets, organization, posses "sion, It must be remembered that Christ emphasized poverty. The Holy Father pointed out that he did not intend on estab lishing certain "canonical regu lations on the subject". Yet he insisted that this is a real prob lem in the Church and he asked ' the bishops not only for agree ment, counsel and example but also for their concrete plans by whic'h poverty could be a natu ral trait of the lives of both cler!rY' and laity. In short, the Church must ap pear what she really is. Before beinl~ an organization, a society with rights and laws and duties, it is first the People of God. Its sense of values must be proper; its faith must be not only theo retic,il but practical. Hence, the man~r suggestions of the Council on poverty are not made law by the Pope but they are given strong encouragement. The bishops in council strong ly emphasized poverty. Simplic ity should be the norm in the building of churches; its observ ance--rather than t:'le dignities relauld with ecclesiastical offices -shculd attract all to their su periof"s. Concrete suggestions were made for the bishops them selve;l calling upon them to change much of the glitter and gold, laces and silks, of those who are to be the special ser vants of the rest. The clergy was urged, to teach poverty in aU. they did and even to take the· vow--or promise-of poverty beforl~ receiving the Diaconate. These are not necessarily pro- ' posaI.!i at hand in the council but they are indications of the inten tion of the Church to see to it that B,t a glance all men-with- . out e:cception-all have a clear idea o~ the purpose of the Church in the world-their sal vation. The Vatican Council thus be comes one of expectation, of confidence. It prepares the Church and looks forward to a more widespread, a more fra ternal participation in its own unicit:r. In short, it is here again presenting the Church to the world and making the 1IeC essary -changes to be able to cry aloud: "Look, brethren, this is the Church of God, in all her splendor, this is the truest pic ture we can recreate of what Christ asks of us, this is truIy the PE'ople of God."

Lauds Newsweek Analysiis
Of Pope's Ecclesiam Suan,
By Msgr. George G. Higgins One of the best analyses of Pope Paul's recent encyclical. Ecclesiam Suam (His Church), which has thus far come to this writer's attention appeared in the Aug. 24 issue of Newsweek. Whoever wrote this piece for Newsweek ob viously took the trouble to as a reversal of Pope John's po read the full text of the en sition either did not read the cyclical very carefully. This encyclical in context or read i.t is more than can be said very carelessly. for a number of other columnists and editorial writers who, from a 11 indications, analyzed the encyclical for their readers on the basis of in complete sum maries cabled from Rome by the wire ser vices. This, it seems to me, was almost in excusable. I re alize, of course, that the commentators who write for the daily press are faced with rigorous deadlines, but surely this is no excuse for rushing into print about an im portant ecclesiastical document before they have had the oppor tunity to study the complete text. Regrettable Results The results of such careless ness in the case of Pope Paul's ·encyclical were in a number of instances, very regrettable. Sev eral commentators, for example, mistakenly said that the ency clical had condemned Commu nism as "the most serious prob lem of our time." That isn't precisely what the encyclical said. It said rather that atheism or Godlessness is "the most serious problem of our
Contrariwise, as indicated above, the author of Newsweek's perceptive analysis of the ency clical seems to have read the document very carefully and with due attention to all of ;:ts nuances. This may explain why he is far less critical of the en cyclical than some of the com mentators referred to above. In his judgment, the encycli cal, "viewed in the context 'If the Vatican Council '" * * reveals that Paul is in fact very mu(:h in the progressive mainstream." Illustrating his own opinion that critics of the encyclical "may have spoken too soon," he suggests that disappointed non Catholic religious leaders wh.o had looked for strong words on birth control, racial injustiCI~, and nationalism "should ret: ognize that their hopes were de pendent on an exercise of papal authority that they themselVES have long refused to recognize." Disappointed Catholics A similar reminder might be addressed to those Catholics wht) have expressed disappointmen.t at the encyclical's failure to ad dress itself specifically to some of the major moral and socio economic problems of the day. Clearly aside from the fact that no one encyclical can b<~ expected to cover the entir(~ waterfront, it would be well time." to bear in mind that at least on(~ It is true, of course, that the document went on to condemn of the problems referred to above-namely, birth control-is Communism by name as the chief example of an atheistic or obviously in need of further study, as Pope Paul himself Godless regime in the contem porary world, but it did not say pointed out several weeks ago that Communism is the only and that the others-racial in·· justice and nationalism - haVE! such example. been discussed by previous Pon·.

Stresses Trust Alrnong Nations LOUISVILLE (~C) - More extensive trade with communist China, Russia and Cuba was ad vocatea by one priest here in Kentucky while anather recom mended a 25 to 30-hour work wee;~ as a partial solution for the ;lUtomation problem. Father Owen J. Pollard, O.F.M. Con"., professor at Our Lady of CarEY Seminary-College, Oa·rey. Ohie, discussing international cooperation, said Americans haVE much to gain "by learning of the solid family traditions of the Ohinese people, by inquiring into the artistic and scientific advances of the Russians by asking the Cubans to help us un derst and the Latin American mentality." "World fear is based on a lack of trust between nations," Father PolaJ'd said. "This fear can and shou:.d be replaced b1 a trust that can only be built up by more communication, even with our political or ideological ene mies," he asserted. Shorter Work Week Father Matthew Herron, T.O.R., profe ssor at St. Francis College, Loretto, Pa., said all problems arising from automation will not be solved in this century, but spect:lated a shorter work week would aid both labor and indus try, plus maintaining consumer buyir:.g power. He said labor unions should encourage mem bers to purchase stock in com panies which employ them as a mean.; of stimulating g,reater in terest in their jobs. ThE' two priests were among speakers at the 45th annual Franciscan Educational Confer ence at Bellarmine College here.

"Of course, the use of English is not the final goal, but it is an indispensable step toward that understanding and renewal de sired by the Second Vatican Council. "Our bishops will be thanked
and congratulated thoughout the land," he said. English in the distribution of the Holy Eucharist during Mass will come about when the ver nacular is introduced in this and other parts of the Mass itself. This is expected to take place
on Nov. 29, the first Sunday of Advent and the beginning of the liturgical year. The hierarchy is scheduled to make a formal de cision on the date when it meets in Rome this Fall during the third session of the Vatican Council. In addition, under the agree ment, English will be used in the sacramentals - special prayers and rites which the Church of fers to obtain God's favor for its mem'bers. Council Opening Day

EDINBURGH (NC) - Arch biShop Gordon Gray of St. An drews and Edinburgh, leader of the Scottish Hierarchy, said that introduction of Gaelic into the Mass should take place in parts of Scotland before the end of the year. The Archbishop declined to give further details. He was speaking to reporters about the announcement that the Scottish .bishops will meet next month to make decisions on the subject. "We have decided to use Gael ic as opposed to English in those parts of Scotland like the West ern Isles, where Gaelic is the spoken language," he said. Catholic Population AI1Jhough Scotland is predom inantly Presbyterian, it has a large Catholic population chief ly centered around the Glasgow industrial area. The Catholics are mainly of Irish e~traction. But many of the more isolated Gaelic-speaking islands around t'he west coast have a Catholi cism as strong and old and na tional as almost anywhere in the world. Islands such as South Uist and Barra-scene of the novel and film "Whiskey Galore"---are almost 100 per cent Catholic. They were so isolated in the Middle Ages that the Reforma tion never reached them.

Commends Good Readin!11 Librarians to Teen-agers By Rev. Joseph T.· McGloin, S.J. . Maybe one of the saddest categories in our file-boxes is "Lost Opportunities." It's undoubtedly the most comfort able drawer in hell too. When you check out some of the opportunities forever lost by human beings, teen-aged types inCluded, you notice that agel" with absolutely no inter,~st quite a few of these lost op in the library and all its inter portunities are in the intelli esting departments isn't very gence department. And with far removed from his intellectual

in that category, maybe the lost opportunities for good reading are most prom inent. You teen agers ought to know (and once you find out you can tell you r parents) that there is a whole universe to be discovered just a short dis tance from your h()Use. It's hid d~n in a place called a "library." Record, Films Take a morning out of your busy schedule sometime, or an afternoon, or even an evening, and just look at your library really look at it. Check the card index just for kicks (and object to the librarian or stage a pro test demonstvation right away if you don't fhid "McG'Ioin"),. the various sections in the place, the books which are fascinating in themselves and those you wish were more fascinating be cause you'd like to be able to dig them. Look at the record section, the films that are available fur the asking, and all that. Intellectual Curiosity Check the library's tecbnical section and see all the hobbies you could take up and master if you had the simple courage to try. (I know a very' successful professional photographer fast getting to be one of the top men in the portrait field, who has only been at the job for two years, and who gained all the theoretical knowledge of his profession at the public library!) Look around enough and you'll find intellectual shortcuts. which you never dreamed ex isted and which can even make learning somewhat pleasant for you. But you do have to take a short time out of a busy schedule to look. One sign of intellectual (and a somewhat lesser indication of emotional) maturity in a teen ager is his willingness to go into a library, unprompted and un pushed, out of some intellectual curiosity. On the contrary, the teen-
Criticize Attack On Missioners PANJIM (NC) - Leaders of the opposition United Goans party in the Goa state legislature criticized the state's chief min ister Dayanand Bandodkar, for saying mission work is detri mental to the people of this for mer Portuguese territory. The chief minister made the claim last April that missioners in Goa are working against its people's social and cultural free dom. His charges followed a re port that the Indian government proposes to spend about $350,000 to . repair and restore old churches here. He said the cen tral government was thus un wittingly supporting the efforts of Catholics, who make up 40 per cent of Goa's population, to make Goa "the Rome of the East."
-and emotional- infancy. He might win a blue ribbon but he's not' ready for any real diplor.:la yet. Points Out Shortcuts There's one item in the li brary, more important than ~:ll the rest, that you'd best learn to make use of' right now-the li brarian. If you have your ear to the ground, you'll hear things like, "I would never have finished my thesis if it hadn't been for a 1,; brarian in * * *," "I could never have done all that research with out the librarian's help * * '" ," or "She saved me hours because she was able to point out all the shortcuts." This sort of encomium. can hardly be squared with the pic ture of a frustrated task-master dedicated only to the preserva tion of perfect silence in her little kingdom. Dedicated Librarians Librarians know their waJr around their place of work. TheJ' can put you on the track of al·· most any facts or type of infor.· mation. They know books, mag·· azines, films, records, the works. And they'll knock themselve!l out :tlor you at considerable in·, convenience to themselves, look., ing up things you need to know or would like to know. Next time you have to do a paper at school, surprise your teacher by consulting your Ii rarian. This will be a startling change from the usual method of simply parrotting the first stale superficial remarks on the sub ject you stumble across, or else spinning some wierd theory out of your own mind without con sulting any of the experts. There are many dedicated people in this world, but the librarian is awfully hard to beat when it comes to dedication. Naturally, he or she can't track you down-any more than the library itself can. You have to be mature enough to recognize their value and use them.
Protest Removal Of Priests VIENNA (NC) - Inhabitants in Moravia-Ostrau, Czechoslo vakia, including some members of the communist collective farms, have protested the recent removal of several Catholic priests and demanded their re turn to their former posts. Reports here state they were removed and had their state sub sidy cut in half after Bohumil Jazik, secretary of the Ministry of Education and Public Worship in that district, reported to Prague that more priests than necessary lived in this region. The number of priests in the Diocese of Olomouc had dimin ished from 1,200 in 1949 to nearly 700. In other parts of Moraivia government officials have tried, by confiscating collections, to make it impossible to employ sacristans or organists in 1he churches. In Lublin, a Father Filbas, who works as a brick:" layer near the town of Roprinice, was discharged by the officials because he organized religious exercises for his altar boys.

Pr'ivate Agencies In Poverty War WASHINGTON (NC)-Public and private agencies will march shou Ider to shoulder in the "war on poverty" under terms of the administration's program. Private nonprofit agencies and institutions, including those with relig ious affiliation, are eligible to cooperate in several of the key ;;ections of the $947.5 million program. The inclusion of private groups appeared assured follow ing :House passage of the anti poverty bill. . The Senate, which approved the :legislation last month, ac cepted the House amendments by voice vote just three days after the House action and sent the measure on its way to the Whit.~ House for the President's signature. Fir.al House approval of the bilI ('ame by a vote of 226-184. Presi:ient Johnson hailed the action saying, "We have by this compassionate commitment kept faith with the morality of our society. We are opening the door of opportunity a little wider for all of our people and that is what has always made our country stronger and more suc cessful." The House adopted two major amendments to the bill relating to· private agencies and institu tions. One would bar them from receiving Federal funds for antipcverty activities if they had n.)t previously been engaged in such efforts. Observers interpreted this as a move aimed at excluding fly by-night outfits that might seek to capitalize on the antipoverty "war" and said it would not hamper participation by a bona fide al~ency or institution.

MIDLAND (NC)-In a project planned strictly as a tourist at traction although the site is steeped in heroic Catholic mis sionary history, the first Fort Ste. Marie, a Jesuit mission post built in 1639, will be recon structed here. Premier John Robarts of On tario turned the first bit of sod for the painstaking project scheduled to be completed by 1967, Canada's centennial year. The Jesuits built the fort ori ginally while serving as mission ers among the Huron Indians. Amid hardships and perils the Jesuits worked for 10 'years out of old Forte Ste. Marie, bringing the Catholic Faith to the Hu rons. In 1649 when the powerful Iroquois began their final push to annihilate their arch-enemies,~ the Hurons, the Jesuits were forced to abandon the fort. 'r.hey

tution has been introduced in the Senate. Sen. J. Caleb Boggs of Del '~ware, one of 12 sponsors.of the resolution (S. J. Res. 192), said such a step is necessary "to pre vent further erosion of our spiritual heritage." The, constitutions of 49 of the 50 states refer to GOO. The words "under God" were inserted in ~he Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, As amended, the preamble to to Constitution would read: "We the people of the United States; in order to form a more 'perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro vide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of -liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish, under God, this Constitution for the 'United States of America." Boggs said adding the words "'under God" - to the preamble "would neither establish reli gion nor interfere with it." "It would, 'however, add 'a 'spiritual tone to our fundamen tal law and help extend this up lifting tone to the conduct of our public affairs," he said. Prayer in Schools Meanwhile, on the same day t'he "under GOO" 'proposal was introduced in the Senate, the House heard the chief backer .f the amendment to permit prayer in public schools chal lenge the chairman of the House -.Judiciary Committee to bring 1!he amendment to a vote on the floor.
