East Freetown camps are children's paradise By 路Pat McGowan

Growing up at Cathedral and Our Lady of the Lake camps on Long Pond in East Freetown was pure heaven for Steven and Nancy Lachapelle. They had 95 acres of lakefront land for the roaming, hundreds of playmates all summer long and sports fal cilities at their disposal year round.

But, in this imperfect world, someone must maintain hE~aven and for nearly 15 years that's been the job of Steve and Nancy's parents, Roger and Maureen Lachapelle.

So demanding it's been that they haven't taken a vacation for 13 of those 15 years.

"Of course we can't go in the summer when the campers are here," explained Mrs. Lachapelle, "and afterwards the c:hildren were in school and we couldn't leave them."

But the time has finally (:ome.

The children are grownup and can watch the camp while their parents take off. For three months? Two? One? Nop,e just for a week.

For ,Lachapelle there arEl the matters of grass that must be cut daily, of buildings always needing the touch of a hammer here, a paintbrush there, of an armada of boats that must be

made shipshape before' they're stored for the winter. Also, come snow, camp roads must be plowed in conformance with fire department regulations requiring access to buildings at all times.

For Mrs. Lachapelle there's office work and scheduling of the retreats and outings that make the camps a busy place for months either side of the day camp season as well on all summer weekends.

Those are the off-season chores. In summer the pace escalates as 600 children arrive and leave camp daily, like advincing and receding tides.

Most come via the camp bus system, said Mrs. Lachapelle.

It's her task to route 10 to 11 buses serving the greater New Bedford and Fall River communities as well as many neighboring towns. It's not a once-a-summer job, she said, since the camp roster changes every two weeks, necessitating dropping some bus stops and adding others.

Sometimes, she noted, out-ofthe-way routes also necessitate pressing into service vans belonging to Father Leonard Mullaney, camp director and pastor of St. Bernard's parish, .Assonet.

Father Mullaney is also a busy man, currently supervising an extensive remodeling of St. Bernard's facilities, while keeping

an eagle eye on camp activities. aren't found on many jobs, like Mrs. Lachapelle chuckled as having the quiet of the camp she recalled that when she and office interrupted by a chorused her husband came to the camp, "Hi" from a passing clutch of the main job was to be his. kids. And in the years when Father Walter Sullivan, then Cathedral was an overnight as camp director, and Mrs. Lachap-. well as day camp, Mrs. Lachapelle's brother, murmured some- elle admitted it was delightful thing to her about "maybe help- to walk into the camp dininging out an hour or two a day in . room for supper instead of turning from desk to stove at day's the office," she said.

Lachapelle, who added that But there are fringes that some 100 of the camps' average

600 youngsters attend for the whole season, mainly because both parents work.

The camp property was bought about 1898, said Lachapelle, and has been used for youngsters' summer fun for about 67 years since that time. For a period during World War II it was an army facility and it was for a long period also used regularly for diocesan retreats.

Nowadays it still hosts the annual priests' retreat, which means a flurry of bedmaking and cleaning for Mrs. Lachapelle and her daughter, plus several teen retreats a year. The teens, though, bring sleeping bags, so less preparation is needed for them.

Also a yearly fixture is a foot路 ball training session for the Medford High School team, plus Turn to Page Six

Educa,tors Nearly 500 persons, including 44 from the Fall River diocese, attended a first-ever meeting of New England religious educators, held last weekend at Sto:nehill College, North Easton.

Sponsored by the New England Conference of Diocesan Directors of Religious Education, the meeting was also believed the first of its kind in th4~ nation, said an organizer, Sister Frances Sidebottom, SSJ, of the Fall River Diocesan Department of Education.

All 11 New England dioceses were represented, she said, at the "gathering of professional religious educators which provided an opportunity for sharing and enrichment and to reo flect together upon our common mission."

The major speakers were Father Maurice Monette, OMI, of the faculty of Loyola University, NElw Orleans, and Sister Jose Hobday, OSF, a consultant in spirituality and Indian affairs to the diocese of Tucson, Ariz.

Both emphasized the need for religious educators to reach out

to people personally rather than simply imparting knowledge.

They said that educators should be people of prayer, grounded in scripture and tradition, yet looking to the future.

In welcoming the delegates to the Fall River diocese, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin expressed gratitude for their contribution to the teaching church on both the parochial and diocesan levels.

Other convention features included a "media prayer experience" presented by Father Patrick Mooney of Norwalk, Conn.: and an explanation of use of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults as a parish learning experience. The latter was presented by Sister Beverly 'Brazauskas, SSJ, of Tolland, Conn.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (NC)-After a long talk with Thomas Enders, U.S. deputy secretary of state for Latin American affairs, Archbishop Miguel Obando of Managua said he was pleased w,ith the meeting. Enders visited Archbishop Obando in his office during a fact-finding tour of several countries. "It seems to me that he wanted to listen, to get first hand information, perhaps because distance usually lends itself to distortions," Archbishop Obando said.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (NC)-Stanislaw Walesa, 64, stepfather and uncle of PoHsh labor union leader Lech Walesa, died in Jersey City Aug. 18 after suffering a heart attack. Walesa, who had come to the United States several years ago, worked for a lumber company in Jersey City. He also served as a liaison for his stepson Lech Walesa, meeting with labor unions and Polish-Amer.ican groups in the United States. Born in Popowo, Poland, Walesa was a farmer there before coming to the United States.

ST. LOUIS (NC)-Catholic evangelizers can learn much from their Protestant counterparts, and Protestants can learn from Catholics in return, Paulist Father Alvin A. Illig told about 1,400 people at the Midwest meeting of the National Catholic Lay Celebration of Evangeliza路tion in St. Louis. Father Illig is executive director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Evangelization. Father Illig said that Catholics can learn the "centrality of the person of Jesus Christ." He added that Catholics often have a love for the institution called the church "more路 than the person Lord Jesus."

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Humanity can survive only if the ideology which has led to the nuclear arms race is replaced with "a radically different society based on fraternity and love," said a Vatican Radio editorial Aug. 18. The message backed what it said was the message of a meeting on nuclear weapons which was held in Erice, Sicily. The message was one that "recent popes have many times made to the world," espec路ially because of "the tumultous progress of technology - too often the unworthy son of science," said the editorial.

NEW YORK (NC)-A Catholic priest who once signed a letter to the Communist government of Lithuania asl<Jng for an end to religious restrictions was "fatally wounded" in Lithuania by unknown assailants recently, according to the New York-based Lithuanian Information Center. The center identified the murdered man as Father Leonas Nazeika, 63, a parish priest in Pamusis, Lithuania. It said his death on Aug. 8 was confirmed by sources inside Lithuania. No known motive has been established for the slay,ing. Robbery is considered unlikely, as the parish is a small one, said a press statement issued by the information center.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Religious practice is still limited 'in China but the future looks brighter, according to Jesuit Father Donald Campion, who visited the 'People's Republic as part of an ecumenical delegation this summer. Secretary for Information and Communication at the U.S. Jesuit Conference, Father Campion said relations between Chinese Christians and Western Chr.istians seem to be improving as restrictions on religious expressions are :relaxed. Churches are drawing young people to Masses, interest ,in women's religious communities is expressed and there is a spirit of candor in talking about past problems, said Father Campion.

SAN SALVADOR, El Sallvador (NC)-Bishop Arturo Rivera Damas, apostolic administrator of San Salvador, condemned the continued wave of k.illings in El Salvador, citing the recent massacre of 23 people and the 819 deaths which occurred in July.

"Last month alone there were 819 victims of the spiral of violence. Some of them were taken from their houses after curfew. Who can feel safe after curfew?" said Bishop Rivera in his Sunday homily Aug. 16.

)(nights of Columbus LOUISVILLE, Ky. (HC) Told by Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul-Minneapolis that they should be involved in politics and public issues, members of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus resolved at their 99th annual convention in Louisville to fight sex and violence on TV' and support tuition tax credits, a right-tolife amendment and natural family planning.

During their Aug. 18-.~9 meeting, the 421 delegates also agreed to set up a $10 million endowment fund, whose earnings will go to Pope John Paul II for charitable work. The foundation's base funds will be invested in church loans to assist U.S. and Canadian bishops in church activities.

The "irrevocable endowment," called the Knights of ColumbusVicarius Christi Fot,ndation, should produce earnings of about $1 million annually, which the pope "can use for whatever charity he deems best according to

Supreme Knight Virgil C. DeChant, who proposed the fund's establishment.

The funds of the foundation will be invested principally in church loans, "so while we are assisting the Holy Father, we are also assisting the Ordinaries in their mission to serve God's people," noted Dechant.

It is hoped the first contribution can be presented to Pope John Paul II no later than October 1982, the close of the Knights' centennial celebration.

The income from the fund will be donated annually to the pope in perpetuity.

"It is time to give to the Lord in thanksgiving for the blessings of 100 years," noted Dechant in making the endowment proposal.

The proposal came during' his annual report to the delegates of the 39th annual assembly of the Supreme Council. It was passed unanimously.

Archbishop Pio Laghi, apostolic delegate in the United States, told the Knights at the

Pope sees 'threat of war~ in U.S.-Libyan dogfight CASTELGANDOLFO, Italy (NC) - During an Angelus talk Aug. 23 Pope John Paul II alluded to the recent air battIe between Libyan and U.S. jets and called it a "threat of W2.r."

The 61-year-old pope appeared rested and fit after a wl~ek's vacation and also joked with a crowd of about 12,000 people who heard the talk at the papal summer residence in Castelgandolfo.

But his brief message before reciting the noontime Angelus dealt with war and peace and was widely interpreted as a criticism of the air battle Aug. 19 between U.S. and Libyan jets.

"May our prayer' to Mary be once again a cry to the Queen of Peace," Pope John Pa.ul said.

"The desire for peace" grows in the hearts of people of good will whenever, "as has unfortunately occurred even in recent days, there appear on the horizon signs that evoke ·in whatever way the threat of war under which all nations live," he added.

Since the pope's arrival Aug. 16 at the 350-year-old p~lpal villa, about 50 Italian policemen and Vatican security guards kept a 24-hour watch along the fivemile wall surrounding the residence. Twelve police cars also patrolled the grounds.

The 61-year-old -Pope :rohn Paul is expected to remain in Castelgandolfo at least until the end of September, continuir..g his recovery from two operations which took place at Rcme's Gemelli Polyclinic after the assassination attempt.

According to Father Antonio Caroppoli, pastor of the Castelgandolfo parish, Pope John Paul rises early each morning, receives several visitors and c:elebrates Mass. He was joined at Mass re-

centIy by 24 young Poles from Krasnik.

The pope also walks through the gardens of Villa Barberini each morning, the priest said. He was expected to begin swimming in his 40-foot by 55-foot swimming pool in the near future.

Shortly after the pope's arrival in Castelgandolfo, the Milanbased magazine, La Gente, pubMshed three color and eight black-and-white photos which it said were of Pope John Paul swimming in .the pool last year.

The figure in the photos wore black swim trunks and a white rubber bathing cap. He is shown making a sign of the cross as he enters the pool. The last four photos show the figure dressed, -in a white T-shirt and pants, wringing out the swimsuit and leaving the pool area.

La Gente said .it published the photos "as a sign of devotion and affectionate best wishes that the pope may soon recover, also through his preferred sport, the energies required for his high position."

Vatican Sources said security officials are already thinking of the pope's return to the Vatican and considering formation of a special corps of Italian agents trained to protect the pope's life.

Also under consideration, according to the sources, are the cancellation of outdoor audiences and Masses and the installation of metal detectors at various Vatican entry points. t1UIIIIII'IWlIlllllllllllllllmIllUlIll,,"UU,,'UII'llllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllm,mlllnll_

Brains vs. Brawn The escalation in the dollars being spent for arms is indeed alarming. It is true that we are told that our armed services are in an alarming state. However, one wonders if the mere spending of a trillion dollars over the next decade is the way to bolster our national defense.

Is the question one of equipment or personnel? Reports from the Vietnam years indicate that the latter is the Achilles heel of the armed services.

Just from the practical viewpoint; why spend billions on new weaponry which cannot be used by the rank and file servicemen? In the despairing aftermath of our involvement in Southeast Asia, the military could not recruit even those most desperate for employment.

Millions were spent路 on Madison Avenue tactics seeking to entice just about anyone into uniform. As a result, for the past decade, not only has our military been woefully understaffed but also very ill-equipped as to brains and general knowhow.

Held in general low esteem, the services appealed only to the most desperate. The quick turnover of poorly trained soldiers, sailors and air force personnel caused an incalculable erosion of military capability. Seemingly only the Marines had the fortitude to stand their ground by virtue of a self-study that has made them today's most effective defense unit.

While other service personnel were playing at being TV and media stars, the good old Marine Corps faced reality, no matter how difficult.

There does now seem to be a growing realization that if a technique can work for one unit it can work well for the Navy, Army or Air Force (remember that the poor Coast Guard is not included in Department of Defense funds but is a branch of the Department of Transportation).

Numbers of volunteers for the services are on the rise.

Presently it is estimated that all quotas are being met each month. One still wonders, however, whether the intelligenc'e quotient has also risen.

Pay raises and other incentives and benefits might keep more trained personnel in the services. Such advantages recruit brains and that's what modern defense forces need. Without thinking personnel, money for so-called defense weaponry is wasted. The need for intelligent people to handle sophisticated equipment cannot be ignored in favor of mere brawn and numbers. Ignorance in this area could well destroy Planet Earth.

Would that all swords could be turned into plowshares. Would that man could live in harmony and peace with his fellows. Would that we might expend as much effort to effect peace as to forge weapons. Would that arms monies could go instead to develop alternative sources of energy.

In the madness of our continuing inhumanity to our brothers and sisters, these reflections seem mere fantasy.

Yet they are the stuff of the gospel message.

Patriotism should not be reduced to a crass nationalism which only too readily forgets that individuals do matter. In a past defense race, Germany forgot this lesson.

Let us pray America always remembers it.

THE RINGS OF SATURN

'I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.' Ps. 8:4

The sin of gluttony

By Father Kevin J. Harrington The seventies brought us the saying, "You are what you eat."

The eighties have shown us the damage that gluttony can cause.

The adage that one can be a glutton for punishment rings so true in our day of excess.

The obsession with food and diet is typified by the incredible popularity of Richard Simmons.

His comical manner is a constant reminder to us of how foolish we have become through our fi!xcesses.

We all seem to want a magic formula that will give us the pleasure of being physically fit. without the agony of exercise.

This seems a logical followup to the demand for sex without guilt or the risk of commitment.

Gluttony, like lust, has a way of haunting us. Whether we overeat or are too fastidious in our dietary patterns, we can be in bondage to this deadly sin.

The sad thing, when we fall victim to this sin, is that we can no longer truly enjoy food or -physical activity.

I am convinced that many people have replaced God with self through inordinate concern with their bodies. We need to hear again these wonderful words of our Lord's S路ermon on the Mount, "Seek you first tl:e kingdom of God."

Lacking a sound spiritual life, we cannot escape the wiles of the worlq, the flesh and the devil.

Interestingly enough, Christ's first recorded temptation was to change rock into bread to alleviate his hunger.

His. example of being concerned solely with doing the will of the Father should inspire us.

Scripture scholars have speculated for centuries as to what St. Paul meant by the thorn in the flesh that he said he was given to keep him from pride.

Some students contend that his illness was obesity caused by compulsive overeating.

This would explain its visible nature.

It is left vague, however, thus we are free to identify whatever weakness of will may afflict us with Paul's weakness.

Gluttony extends beyond the food that we consume. Excessive consumption of alcohol and drugs typifies a society that wants to "turn on" by turning in upon itself.

There are pains which are worth enduring. We should not have to turn to drugs to sleep or to stay awake, to regulate our appetites or to deal with every ailment, no matter how minor or imaginary.

Alcohol has its place but too often it can become the center

of our world. Too many people become prisoners of habits that wreak untold havoc upon them.

Too few people take the sound advice given in a recent liquor advertisement: "Pursue your goals with passion and enjoy your rewards in moderation."

The deadlines of gluttony revolves around the very sin that sent Lucifer to eternal damnation: pride.

An overeater often wants to maintain control by taking his or her pleasure without the risk of interacting with others. The fastidious dieter, unlike the overeater, does not have his eyes fixed upon his next meal; instead, he or she fixes his eyes upon the bathroom scales and the mirror. Behind the excessive interest in dieting is the fear of aging. This fear is justified because if all such people are sacrificing for is a youthful figure, they will have little to look forward to in this life or the next.

Not every thief is a kleptomaniac and not every compulsive overeater, obsessive dieter, alcohol or drug abuser can be absolved from sin because of a physical or psychological condition. We need to be reminded that although we are earthen vessels (2 Cor. 4:7), we hold a treasure more valuable than th~ passing joys of this world.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Foil River-Thur., Aug. 27, 1981

A modest proposal "No," admitted the man angrily, "I don't read. But that doesn't mean 1 don't want my children to." He was speaking at one of our community's periodic educati,:mal uproars. A few years ago, we chose up sides for or against the fundamental school concept and there was a large and emotional gathering of parents who wanted to do away with everything but the three R's in the schools. As an addicted crowd watcher, I was intrigued by the contrl;\dictions on both sides of the issue.

Whatever the reason and however we approach it, with frills or phonics or whatever a particular parent promotes, we all want our children to read and write, teachers especially. They spend terrific amounts of time in pursuit of this elusi.ve skill and still find kids at the end of the year who don't read well or aren't interested in read.ing anything outside the classroom.

Contrary to what we would like to believe, this happens in parochial as well as public schools. Children who do not read, spell and add well graduate from our parish schools, and from expensive preparatory schools, as well. A great deal of effort is expanded on this dilemma at NCEA and diocesan school conventions.

There's some pretty good evidence, though, that the family

F ed{~ral strili.es One of Ronald Reagan's' all-time heroes is said to be Calvin Coolidge, whose offidal White House portrait has been dusted off and is now prominently displayed in the Oval Office. One wonders if the portrait prompted administration officials grappling with the air traffic controllers' strike to recall "Silent Cal's" handling of the 1919 Boston police striJ{e.

If so, it must have been reassuring. It was his success in breaking that strike which made Coolidge, then governor of Massachusetts, a national figure and helped get him elected president.

So far as I know, President Reagan hasn't mentior..ed Coolidge in the context of the current strike or quoted hi.s ultimatum to the Boston police force.

That's probably because Reagan's rationale is somewhat different Coolidge's - or at least it's worded differently.

CooHdge said, "There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, ~tny time, anywhere." And although Reagan has raised the safety issue, it's not his central argument against the striking controllers.

He argues simply tha.t federal employees are forbidden by law to strike.

The president was probably wise to 110wnplay the public safety issue. A nationwide strike by any of several unions in the private sector -airline pilots, air·

line machinists, railway safety controllers, etc. - would endanger public safety at least as much as the a,ir controllers' strike. But because these workers are not federal employees, they have the legally guaranteed right to strike.

Moreover, if they exercised this right, the president would have no authority to order them back to work and, indeed, Reagan has said that in such a case he wouldn't want to.

He draws a sharp distinction between the rights of publ,ic and private sector employees which, though it has served him well against the controllers, deserves careful re-examination. It is neither as self-evident nor as meaningful as the president has made it out to be.

Why should government workers be denied the right to strike if their ability to inconvenience the public or endanger public safety is no greater than that of their counterparts in the private sector? What is the difference between pubHc employees and workers employed by private employers operating under a federal contract on federal facilities?

The government estimates that" more than $1100 billion is spent annually for contractor services. Thus a work force of 2 million or more men and women indirectly employed by the government have no restrictions on their right to strike; yet federal

employees doing identical work are prohibited from striking.

Why should the federal government, at tremendous expense to taxpayers, employ air controllers when railway traffic controllers are paid by private employers? Do air controllers really work for the government, or do they, at federal expense, work for the airlines?

I hope these and similar questions will get a thorough airing if and when public hearings are held on a biB introduced in the Congress by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan. It would guarantee federal employees the same collective bargaining right, including the right to strike, guaranteed private sector workers.

There's Httle likelihood the bill will pass. But public hearings would help educate us all about a host of problems too long swept under the rug.

At least the hearings wouid provide a formum for the legitimate grievances of federal employees and they might even impel the government to make long overdue improvements in how it handles federal labor-management problems.

While the massive budget bill approved by Congress this summer was primarily a vehicle for designating

into the legislative hopper.

In its original version, the bill talked about promoting "selfdiscipline and chastity" as a response to the problems of "adolescent promiscuity" and pregnancy. But a compromise worked out by, among others, Denton and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D· Mass.) - a major architect of the orginal program-eliminated that kind of wording and helped sail the bill through committee.

cut's in federal spending, it also quietly but significantly altered the thrust of several federal programs.

One such change was in the federal adolescent pregnancy program, where a novice at Capitol Hill politics, Sen. Jeremiah Denton (R-Ala.), succeeded in getting Congress to shift the program away from what some critics saw as its overemphasis on contraception and abortion to a new but controversial focus on teenage chastity.

Created with broad support by Congress only three years ago to respond to the growing problem of teen-age pregnancy, the program author·ized federal grants for services to teen-age pregnancy, the program authorized federal grants for services to teenagers such as pre-natal care, pregnancy testing, family planning, educational and vocational training and adoption.

Some pro-life groups publicly backed the program, saying such federal support could result in more pregnant teens carrying their babies to term rather than seeking abortions.

But there' were also several criticisms of the program as it developed: -It required recipients of grants to advise about the availability of abortion. That prompted some pro-life groups which might otherwise have sought funds under the program to drop out, leaving much of the money to groups favoring abortion;

-Rather than require parental notification or consent, it only directed grant recipients to "encourage" their teen-age clients to discuss with their parents the use of birth control or other services provided under the program, and -While the original legislation emphasized pregnancy prevention, funds for the most part went to programs which aided teen-agers only after they had become pregnant, such as programs to help pregnant teens finish school. ,Into this discord stepped Den· ton, the seven-year V,ietnam prisoner of war who came' back a hero but who also experienced something of a culture shock at the sexual revolution which had taken place while he was gone.

Elected to the Senate only last November he came to Washington convinced from speaking around the country that Americans wanted a redirection in federal family planning programs.

Four months later his "adolescent family life bill" was dropped

From there it was only a quick jump into the massive budget "reconciliation" bill, where it was enacted into law without fanfare.

While avoiding words such as chastity and promiscuity, the program was defined as an effort "to find effective means, within the context of the family, of reaching adolescents before they become sexually active . . . and to promote self-discipline and other prudent approaches to the problems of adolescent premarital sexual relations, including adolescent pregnancy."

The program is aimed at establishing "innovative programs that have as their goal the overall reduction in the high rate of pre· marital adolescent relations," according to a committee report accompanying the bill.

It also gives a higher priority to adoption as an option for preg· nant teens. It prohibits recipients of grants under the program from performing abortions or counseling a pregnant teen-ager to obtain an abortion. And it allows grantees to provide contraceptive services to teens only when there is both no other agency in the community doing so and no other funds available to provide such services.

One congressional critic of the redirecting program, Rep. Toby Moffett (D-Conn.), likened it to the establishment of "storefront chastity centers" and predicted that "we'll be laughed out of every junior high school in the country."

But the committee report says there are a number of ways ser· vices aimed at limiting adolescent sexual activity can be provided, such as through commu· ity-wide seminars for parents of adolescents, media campaigns and family counseling services aimed at teaching "the psychological, social and physiological risks" of pre-marital sex for teens.

Besides redirecting the program, passage of the measure also marks something of a personal triumph for Denton himself, who as a freshman managed to accomplish one of his major legislative goals in only seven months.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., Aug. 27, 1981

Polish conflict WASHINGTON (NC) - The current crisis in Poland as not merely a problem between an independent labor union and the government, but "a clash of civilizations," said a Polish researcher who has spent most of the last year in Poland.

It is not only a clash of "Christian civilization against communism, but also a clash of Russian civilization and Polish civilization," said Waclaw Zaj;aczkowski, former editor of the Catholic Periodical Index and a former Jesuit.

"The Soviet Union today is a replica of the empire of Genghis Khan (the Mongol conqueror who died in 1227)," Zaj,!lczkowski said. He said that after the Mongols conquered Russia, the Russians had reversed the process and taken over the Mongol empire.

The difference in the Christian civilizations that existed in Poland and Russia was not only a difference between the Catholicism of Poland the Orthodox Christianity in Russia, he said.

In Poland the king was a constitutional monarch and in Russia the czar was an absolute ruler."

•

Zajaczkowski also noted that the Polish monarchy was not only deliberating in Latin and regional parliaments deliberating in other languages.

"In Russia, everything was governed autocratically by the czar and Russia feared the infection of freedom from Poland," Zajaczkowski said. Today, too, the Soviet Union fears freedom in Poland, he added.

The aim of Solidarity, Poland's independent labor union, "is to unite the whole nation as a Chrdstian nation," Zajaczkowski said. Solidarity does not require that its members be Catholics or Christians, he added, and the Christian nation its leaders envision is one that guarantees equal rights for non-ehroisNans and non-believers.

"In Poland," "he said, "religion was always separated from the government. The Polish king at one time refused to suppress Protestants because he said he was not the king of human consciences."

"Solidarity aims to bring back Polish Christian traditions, which differed from the East and the West in that Poland never had

FAIRHAVEN LUMBER CO.

Inter:national festival at La Salette With an international theme, the ninth ann.ual Family Festival will take place Thursday night, Sept. 3, through Labor Day at La Salette Shrine, Route 118, Attleboro.

Sixty festival booths will be decorated with flags and ethnic decorations, while workers will wear national costumes and serve foods from many countries, including France, China and Portugal.

American favorites will in-

elude chowder, clam cakes, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream waffles and strawberry shortcake.

Festival attractions will feature game booths, a flea market, a country store offering fabrics and handmade gift items and a midway.

Entertainment, also with the international theme, will present Portuguese, French, Arabic, Polish and Irish folklore and music, as well as demonstration of Oriental karate.

'We're killing ourselves and not seeing results.' They wanted to know where Polish products are going and for how much. But that is still a state secret."

The 70-year-old Zajaczkowski, who holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Krakow, Poland, is a former Jesuit priest who returned to the lay state ,in 1960. He is now doing research on Christian-Jewish relations and has completed a book, "Martyrs of Charity," about Polish Catholic aid to Jews during the Second World War. He said the Nazis killed 50,000 Catholics for helping Jews and that more non·Jewish than Jewish Poles were exterminated in Poland.

Volunteering their services at the festival will be over 400 workers from all parts of New England. Proceeds help support La Salette Shrine ministries, including prayer meetings, many lecture series and workshops, pilgrimages and a major Christmas illuminations program.

The festival will be open from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 3 and 4; from 1 to 10:30 p.m.

Sept. 5 and 6; and from 1 to 9 p.m. Sept. 6.

The church and housing

By NC News Service In 1975, when the UoS'. bishops summoned Catholics to help meet the country's housing needs, they said one role the Catholic community could play was that of providing services.

The bishops pointed out that Catholic dioceses, parishes and organizations had aIread:, sponsored development of :l1ousing for low-income people lmd the elderly. That involvement has continued. Some examplles follow.

Beginning in the fall of 1980 the Erie, Pa., Diocesan Community Action Department was instrumental in the construction of several housing complexes for the aged.

An initial study determined diocesan areas in need cof housing. The diocesan dep,artment then enlisted the cooperution of pastors in those areas.

The diocesan program caned for the formation of a Council of Human Dignity by the local pastor and other people in the area. Each council is a ncn-profit corporation founded solely for the construction of housing for the elderly.

Working through the federal Home Administration, the coun-

cil - and not the local church - becomes the owner of the housing.

Under this program a 102unit apartment building caned St. Michael's Terrace is being built in DuBois, Pa. A grant of $3.6 million from the Farmers Home Administration made the project possible. Another project, St. Michael's Villa, to cost $8 million, will also be located in DuBois.

Another facility in Houtzdale, Pa., contains 27 units for the elderly, . and similar projects are under way in three other towns in the diocese.

In 1976 the Springfield, IlL, Diocese formed a corporation caned the Catholic Care Center to finance housing for low-income people.

for the construction of a 127unit high-rise apartment building in Alton, 111., caned the Marian Heights Apartments.

The buildings are open to any eledrly person, regardless of race, creed or color.

Since 1966 the New Orleans Archdiocese has generated about $83 million worth of housing construction in the form of lowcost residences for low-income people and residences for the elderly.

The corporation received a $4.4 million loan from the Department of Housing and Urban Development which was used for the construction of a 150-unit high-rise apartment building for elderly, handicapped and lowincome individuals in Springfield. Named the Pope John Paul I Apartments, the building is now funy occupied.

High-rise apartment buildings for the elderly and scattered apartments in developments around the city provide just under 1,300 low-cost housing units for the elderly. In some instances the archdiocesan housing department holds management contracts for several units in apartment complexes. These units are reserved for the elderly and handicapped, with subsidized rents.

The corporation also recievd a $5.25 million loan from HUD

Two developments, one of 60 and the other of 68 townhousestyle units, were built under archdiocesan auspices in the late 1960s. In the early 1970s the archdiocese turned the developments over to the New Orleans Housing Authority for administration.

A common problem

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Dear Dr. Kenny: Jason has started to wet the bed at night.

He is 5 years old now and he has been dry since he was 2, so I know he can control himself.

This could not have come at a worse tb;ne for us, since we have a new baby. I've tried everything. We have yelled at him, been nice, ignored it - but nothing seems to work. Please help.

bed in an older child is very common. Usually it is a reaction on the child's part to something new in the environment. In Jason's case, it may be related to the arrival of a new baby. It also may reflect some very nor· mal concern about the separation anxiety that a child experiences when beginning kindergarten.

Despite the strong possibility of social and or psychological causes you should first rule out a physical cause. If Jason is dry during the day, you can presume that the problem is not physical. On the other hand, if he wets regularly day and night or urinates frquently during the day, you should consult your physician.

The next step is a caution:

Don't hassle him. Bedwetting is common er:ough to be considered a normal reaction to life stress or the difficulties of growing up.

A new baby, starting school, talk of divorce or moving to a new home are frequent culprits.

Under stress the child returns in his actions to an earlier form of behavior. If parents let him alone and are patient, the child is usually able within two to three weeks to return to his more mature ways.

Don't hassle him but do help him. Make it easier for him to stay dry at riight. While parents should not lecture or punish the child for his nighttime wetting, they can take some practical measures to make it easier for him to last the night.

Most obvious and important are restricting fluids after dinner and getting the child up to go to the bathroom just before the parents go to bed.

Let him keep his self-respect during this period. Do not belittle or demean him by calling him a baby or making fun of him. Teach him to care for his wet pajamas and his sheets by himself. Rather than diapers, prov,ide some heavy traVting briefs covered with plastic pants which he can manage by him-

self and which will protect the bedding.

In this way he maintains a feeling of control and can emerge from this difficulty with some measure of self-esteem.

Finally, if three weeks go .by and the wetting still occurs half. the time or more, you may want to provide an additional incentive. Be positive. Don't be critical. Set up a daily chart with smile faces for the times he is dry. Or drop a penny in a bottle on his dresser every night he is dry.

Another good reward is to let him put his hand in a treasure jar every morning he is dry. The treasure jar contains folded slips of paper with mini-surprises written on them: a hug, a handful of peanuts, a toy car, a favorite activity and so on. The important factor is that being dry is rewarded. Being wet receives silence, not even a lecture.

Take these practical steps to help him. Stay positive. Then allow some time for Jason to get back on the track, and you will succeed.

They have no JOLIET, Ill. (NC) - In Asia people acknowledge and hate American-Asian children who have been abandoned but in the United States "we do not even bother to hate them," according to Maryknoll Father Alfred Keane. Father Keane, stationed in South Korea since 1958, recently visited the United States to seek aid for such children living in South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, the Philip:;>ines and Taiwan.

Many of the children are believed to have been fathered by American military men who have since left the regbn.

Most of Asia is a patriarchal society, Father Keane commented in an interview with the Explorer, newspaper of the Joliet diocese. Children born of Asian women and American military men have no future, he said.

They can get no education and are not accepted into the work force.

"Their one desire is to come to the home of their fathers," he added.

"At least 100,000 children of American military men and Asian women, maybe up to 300,000 children, are in Asia - abandoned. The majority of them are in Vietnam and the Philippines," he said.

The mothers often suffer much the same treatment as their children, the priest added. Often they abandon their children with organizations or orphanages like one run by Father Keane because they cannot find work with an American-Asian child in tow. On their own, the mothers often can secure a decent job

and many then secretly support their children in the orphanages.

Through personal efforts, Father Keane has placed hundreds of American-Asian children in American homes. He tries to keep in touch with as many of them as possible and often shares correspondence of a successfully placed child with the child's natural mother to show the child is happy in the new home.

But many children are trapped in Asia because U.S. immigration laws are so restrictive and only a small precentage of these American-Asian children can be allowed into the country every year, said the missionary.

Father Keane has spoken with legislators in an attempt to change these policies and he said he has been told that the

public does not care and that the legislators cannot vote for changes unless the people ask for them.

"What is really needed are coordinators in each congressional district who will establish letter writing campaigns to congressmen and senators informing them of the people's caring about American-Asian children trapped in Asia," said the priest.

Americans for International Aid, a group of about 1,300 citizens, already is working in this field.

"Before a child can be allowed a visa into the United States, he must have a foster family approved and ready to support him," said Father Keane. "The urgent problem is lack of caring

by Americans."

Information on how to help these children can be obtained from Father Keane through Americans for International Aid, 1370 Murdock Road, Atlanta, Ga. 30062.

Asanga's a normall{id now but Itrice is high SAN FRANCISCO (NC) Two-year-old Asanga Goonawardane was born "with a heart that pumped blood exactly opposite from what nature intended," according to his doctors in Sri Lanka (Ceylon).

Although the child's family could not afford the trip, he had to be flown to the United States for an operation which would save his life. His mother, Sriyani Goonawardane, turned to Archbishop Nicholas Marcus Fernando of Colombo for hE!lp. He contacted Catholic Relief Services (CRS) which arranged travel and accommodations for Mrs. Goonawardane and her son.

CRS funds and donations from the San Francisco Archdiocese paid travel costs.

When Asanga entered the university of California Medical Center in San Francisco he was lethargic and lackluster. But four weeks after open heart surgery,

the tot was so lively and vigorous that he rebelled against the confinement of his hospital room.

To pay the $4,000 deposit required by the hospital, the Goonawardanes mortgaged their home in Sri Lanka. The surgery was performed without charge and the hospital waived 80 percent of Asanga's $20,000 hospitalization cost.

The Goonawardanes and Catholic Relief Services have paid the remaining hospital balance but the mortgage remains.

Asanga's father, a civil servant, makes $105 monthly but his mortgage payment is $165.

Even if the family spent nothing on other expenses, their income would not cover their obligation.

Catholic S{)cial Services has therefore set up a trust fund for little Asanga. Donations may be sent to Asanga's Fund, care of Catholic Social S'ervices, 50 Oak St., San Francisco, Calif. 94102.

2nd editio'n of lectionary WASHINGTON (NC) A second edition of the le<:tionary for Mass was published by the Vatican's Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine worship.

The lectionary is a compilation of scriptural readings and psalm responsories used in the Mass.

The second edition does not differ substantially from the first, published in 1969, said Divine word Father Thomas Krosnicki, director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on the liturgy.

Father Krosnicki said the second edition "does not render existing lectionaries obsolete" but includes additions and variations in the original text which simply "build on the 196B book."

Features of the second edition include: - A considerably elcpanded introduction.

- All scriptural refere:nces according to the new Vulgate translation, which does r.:ot alter the edition's English text.

- All scriptural references' given in the revised Rites of the

Sacraments and Sacramentals which may be celebrated within the Mass published since the first edition of the lectionary.

- Scriptural references for the "Masses for various needs" and the "Votive Masses" added to the Roman Missal in 1975.

- Additional readings for the celebration of the Holy Family, the Baptism of the Lord, Ascension and Pentecost for the purpose of completing the threeyear cycle of biblical readings for these celebrations, use of the adidtional readings.

Father Krosnicki said the International Commission on English in the liturgy {IOEL) is preparing an English translation of the second edition's introduction and that the U.S. bishops' Committee on the liturgy is studying the edition in the light of 10 years experience with the 1969 edition.

Upon completion of the study. the committee will make specific proposals to the bishops for approval. Such proposals must also be submitted to the Vatican.

Matthew

By Father John J. Castelot

Matthew wrote the Gospel for an established Christian community whose members did not need to be informed about the events in the i1fe of Jesus. What the people did need was to hear how those events applied to their own Christian lives. That is why Matthew wrote.

Matthew wanted to ease the tensions of a community in transition. He wanted to reassure, instruct, admonish and inspire.

That is why Matthew selected the material he did and why he arranged it in his -.own way. He was not writing in a vacuum, but for real people.

This is true of all the evangelists, of course, but in no other Turn to page thirteen

By Janaan Manternach Paul worked hard in Ephesus to build up the community of Christians. He preached God's word regularly to the disciples.

He also taught others about Jesus and his way. Paul helped organize and oversee the whole church at Ephesus.

Paul also went out to share with others the good news about Jesus. During this period he spoke of Jesus with all the people in the community - with the Jews and the gentiles. He went weekly to the synagogue, trying to convince people that Jesus was the Messiah they were awaiting.

Some were moved by Paul's words. Others were not. One Sabbath some people spoke up against Paul. When Paul heard them, he left and started to hold discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. There he met every day with people who wanted to hear more about Jesus.

During that time many persons entered into the Christian community. In fact, there was hardly anyone in or around Ephesus who had not heard the word of the Lord because of Paul.

Many citizens of Ephesus and its surrounding towns were impressed. with what Paul said.

They could feel that God spoke through his words.

They were even more amazed at some of the extraordinary miracles God worked through Paul.

He healed many who were sick. People came up to him in the streets. They touched him with hankerchiefs or other cloths. Then they took the cloths home to the sick. They placed the cloths on the sick persons.

Immediately their diseases were cured. Evil spirits left them.

Paul worked hard and God blessed his efforts. He spoke and acted always in the name of Jesus. He believed that only the power of the risen Lord rould create the church of Jesus Christ.

The search for another

By David Gibson It takes two to dialogue. But even when a scene for dialogue appears well-set the dialogue will not take place. People who meet to talk with each other often merely talk at each other.

Archbishop Joseph Plourde of Ottawa, Ontario, recently published a pastoral message offering his reflections on dialogue in families.

"I am always surprised" he wrote, "to hear couples married 10 to 20 years say at the end of one of these weekend sessions (like a Marriage Encounter): We never dared discuss the matter,' And what they are referring to is often essential to a happy life together," Archbishop Plourde thinks one of the greatest contributions of Marriage Encounter and similar movements is found in how they help couples to engage in dialogup. and talk over their problems Di. logue, he says, is indispensable. It is a way for one person to discover the other - a discovery which, he emphasizes, is never entirely finished.

In dialogue, marriage partners

share their ideas, dreams, ambitions and difficulties. Archbishop Plourde says he doubts that there can be any genuine sharing in life together without such exchange.

Dialogue is a way for marriage partners to avoid making rash or ill-founded judgments about each other, the archbishop adds. He thinks dialogue "is essential to the process of making our judgments," It is essential for understanding, for genuinely

A condition for true dialogue is that a person "be ready to change his or her mind when he or she recognizes having been mistaken," This last point by the archbishop has been made by others, as well.

Becoming a family

By Bob Cubbage

"Man rises higher when he comes to look upon his whole community as his own family," wrote Mohandas Gandhi. That is what St. Peter's parish in Spokane, Wash., is striving to do.

Since 1977 the parish has been engaged in a process of building community and improving relationships among parishioners.

For several years, this was done informally. Interested parishioners, with staff me:nbers, planned programs for particular purposes.

In 1980, however, parish leaders decided the time had come to establish a more formal leadership structure for St. Peter's, one allowing for long-range planning and involving more parishioners. Today the parish has an overall plan of action and, according to pastor Father Michael Savelesky, eadl committee acts for the good of the whole parish.

In adopting a new system, St. Peter's followed a planned se-Turn to Page Thirteen

know your faith

Many people are skeptical of polls. Nonetheless, it is helpful in parishes to take a reading of members' beliefs, convictions, hopes and opinions. Without such a reading, how can appropriate activities be planned?

Numerous parishes determine parishioners' views by means of a parish census, a questionnaire, visits to homes or a parish assembly.

Each method has pros and cons.

A thorough census can be the best way to develop a total parish mailing list, to measure changes in population characteristics, to find out how many people are available for various programs such as religious education, and to provide people an opportunity to indicate a concern they may wish to discuss with a priest or staff member. _ The difficulty with the census is that in parishes of any size (and small parishes hardly need a census), the project demands considerable planning, many workers and some way to process the information so that it is usable.

Here are some questions parishes ask when considering a census: 1. Is the census warranted by change in the parish?

2. Does the parish need all this information?

3. Will the benefits justify the time, energy and cost involved?

Parishes also use questionnaires to consult people. Typically, these are given to people at Mass or sent to those on the mailing list. People may be queried about their beliefs and moral convictions; what they want from the parish; how they evaluate current parish activities; and how they are willing to contribute to parish life.

Questionnaires give people a sense that their views are important. They are a way of obtaining the views of active parishioners who know most about the parish.

However, a questionnaire does not usually provide information about those who do not participate in the parish. Like a census, it does not demand interaction of the people. To be useful, a plan for processing the information gained is needed.

A carefully thought-out plan for talking with individual families or groups gathered in one home can be a good way to obtain people's views. This allows leaders to show they are listening, provides an opportunity to dig a little deeper and learn how people really feel. It encourages people to stimulate each other's thinking.

In the home setting, people discover support for their own views and come to realize why others see things differently. The setting also allows the information-gathering process to be coupled with prayer and fellowship.

The limitations of the setting are that only a few points can be discussed in the time availTurn to Page Thirteen

:Matthew Continued from Page Twelve Gospel is concern for a particular church quite so evident. Mat· thew wanted people to identify with the characters in the story, to see themselves in the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples.

He wanted his community to identify with the disciples of Jesus - not only as persons, but in their mission. For if the disciples were given a share in the Lord's mission, so ,are the people of Matthew's community.

In a lengthy summary conclud· ing a long description olr Jesus' own active ministry in Chapter 9, we read: "Jesus continued his tour of all the towns and villal~es. He taught in their synagogues, .he proclaimed the good news of God's reign, and he cured every sickness and disease. At sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity. They were ly. ing prostrate from exhaustion, like sheep without a shepherd.

He said to his disciples: 'The harvest is good, but laborers are scarce. Beg the harvest master to send out laborers to gather his harvest.'''

This is significant bec;ause it leads directly into the (:ommissioning of the Twelve and their empowering to go forth and do as Jesus had been doing. Their mission was to be that of Jesus.

Matthew is telling' his community that in a similar way, their mission is that of Jesus too.

Weak, fearful and bumbling though the disciples were, Jesus sent them. So members of Mat·

Consultin.g Continued from page twelve able. It is not very likely that people will bring up priv~lte con· cerns that need attention, and it is difficult to reach people who do not want to meet with a group of other parishion.ers.

A parish assembly is s: forum in which people can get a sense of the entire parish's concerns.

Often an assembly generates a feeling of commitment to the direction it sets.

An assembly calls for careful planning, a limited agenda, and a careful attempt to ensure adequate participation by aU parish groups.

If there are sharp differences in the parish, the -assembly may have the negative effect of heightening them. And while an assembly fosters awareness that we are part of a people, many parishioners may not be present.

Finally, an assembly is best for setting directions, not for getting into specific details. It does not, of course, provide for personal communication about individual needs.

If a parish wishes to consult its people, it must decide what information it needs and how best to obtain it. The parish must think ahead to how it will use the information gathered, for this will be the test of the effort's value.

Finally, parish council members should realize how much they already know about their parish. They often underestimate themselves as an eKcellent resource!

thew's community cannot allege unworthiness or unfitness as an excuse to dodge their Christian mission.

In Chapter 10, Jesus warns his disciples to expect the same reception he experienced. At the same time they are promised a rich reward for their courage in identifying with him, along with assurances of God's providential care.

Lest his Christians become discouraged by comparing them· selves with Jesus' immediate disciples, Matthew offered a very realistic portrait of the disciples.

They were not superhuman but flesh and blood people with their full share of faults. Peter, the first called by Jesus, was the first to fail. Furthermore, when the chips were down, they all forsook Jesus.

Matthew did not underscore the disciples' obtuseness, their lack of understanding, as heavily as did Mark. But he offered his own characterization of the disciples: They are "men of little faith." They are not completely without faith, but their faith often breaks under the strain of discouragement, timidy, fear.

Matthew's people could easily identify with this. And so can Christians of all ages.

Matthew was concerned about the community itself, its ordering and conduct. Chapter 18 scores the community's ambition, scandal, irresponsible leadership. quarrels, lack of forgiveness.

But whatever storms buffet the church, Jesus hastens with reassurance: "Get hold of yourselves! It is I! Do not be afraid."

(Chapter 14) Even though the people are often afraid and of little faith, like Peter, Jesus will stretch out his hand and catch them.

It is interesting to note that the Gospel concludes with a heartening note: "Know that I am with you always, until the end of the world!"

First, Father Savelesky conferred with parishioners on how to identify parish goals.

He feels that the evaluation and goal-setting process is a "step in the direction of greater involvement in the work of the Gospel by parishioners."

After conferring with parish· ioners and with the use of additional data gained from parish surveys, home visitations and informal conferences, the parish council listed parish needs, focusing on such areas as spiritual development, family life, social justice awareness, financial needs and needs of non-parishioners.

The council then identified four central goals for the parish.

The most important calls for efforts to increase awareness among parishioners "of their responsibility for the development of spiritual life which is lived and shared by others."

Next came the job of fulfilling the goals. To do this, the parish council established five com-

The reason dialogue holds promise for people is because it actually does change them. Diologue, you might say, opens people up to the future and it helps free them from past understandings of each either that may now be inadequate.

Sometimes couples who have been married 40 or 50 years tell us they love each other more than when they were first married. This can befuddle young couples who may even doubt the truth of what they're hehring.

missions to seek ways of implementing the four goals: worship, administration, maintenance and planning, Christian formation and Christian service committees.

But if some couples do love each other more after many years of marriage, some part of this must result from their respect for each other, the ability to discover and rediscover each other over the years.

When people are close to each other, it can be hard for them to imagine why they would need or want to know each other better. Perhaps they even pride themsQlves on knowing each other well - better than anyone else knows them.

The mystery of human life, however, seems to mean that people can keep growing and changing, often because of each other. For them, dialogue means remaining open to each other, paying attention to each other.

For many people, the word "dialogue" is defined by the word "discussion." The problem for such people may be that they enter discussions to win or as debaters.

A dialogue, however, is not a debate. There is no winner. Or, perhaps better, both partners win.

For dialogue is a search of each for the other.

By Cecilia Belanger The presence of so much hunger an the world makes it difficult for me to attend big feasts - and so '1 do not. I find it difficult sitting down to a meal with the specter of hunger looming before me.

Leonard Griffith, writing in "The Mennonite," describes a scene which could become a recurrent nightmare: "Suppose, as you sat down to dinner, the doorbell rang. You opened the door and before you stood, ragged and disease-ravaged, the world's hungry in a single line, each begging for a crust of bread. Beginning at your door, the line would continue out of sight, over the continent and ocean . . . with no one in the line but hungry, suffering humanity."

The magnitude of the problem is almost beyond our power to imagine. We read that one out of every eight people on earth is hungry most of the time, that fifteen million cl:ildren under the age of five starve to death each year. These large numbers overwhelm us, make us feel vaguely guilty, and, in fact, immobilize us.

In their book, "Food Frirst," Frances Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins conclude that the themes

of scarcity, guilt and fear, so often repeated by the media in connection with the problem of hunger, are based on myths.

They say they have learned that every country in the world has the capability of feeding itself; that the hungry are not our enemies or our competitors; and that the malnourished abroad are not hungry because of the individual greed of the average American. Rather, they are victims of a scarcity-creating system.

Two commissions studying the problem have recently come to similar conclusions. One was an independent group of international statesmen, th~ other a U.S. presidential committee.

Both concluded that building a world without hunger will require fundamental political and economic changes in all nations.

Eliminating hunger is not just a matter of growing more food.

In fact, current food production is adequate, but food is often not where it is needed and even when the food and the hungry are in the same place, the hungry cannot always pay the price'.

In other words, the primary cause of hunger is poverty.

Rather than growing food for themselves, underdeveloped countries use their land and labor to

With conflicting advice coming from experts, some are askring religion how to proceed in this matter. But religious leaders, although concerned about victims of the economic system, seem to shy away from questioning the social and economic structures causing their plight. Even our religdous principles tend to reflect the values and interests of those dominant in our society.

CAN A couple be too much in love? This song clearly states that love that gets too close is "good lovin' gone bad."

But what is too close or too much in love? The feeling that we are in love can sometimes be overpowering, but love is much more than a feeling, no matter how intense. Love ought to help me 'and the one I love to develop as persons. Our full potential cannot develop in the context of just one relationship.

Even in marriage two people should not become one in the sense of forfeiting their individualities. Real love provides enough space for each to pursue dreams, hopes and goals. But providing this space is 'not always easy, for it can create bigger spaces than either partne,r might want.

Yet a giant mistake is made when a couple tries to close all the space between them. Sooner or later, one or both partners will rebel.

What do you experience as the best balance between closeness and space in your .love relationships? What have you learned in trying to achieve this balance?

portswQtch Immacs in Fall River Immaculate Conception has eliminated defending champion Flint Catholic from th.e postseason playoffs of the Fall River CYO Baseball League, with a sweep of their best-of-three semifinal, 15-3 and 9-5.

In the first game of the series, last Thursday, Immacs scored nine unearned runs after two were out in the top of the sixth inning. Al Martel went the distance for the winners.. Flint Catholic got to Martel for three runs in the bottom of the sixth but the verdict was already sealed.

In the second game Monday evening, Martel hit a two-run triple and Dave Gibeau poled out a solo homer for Immacs, Bob Levesque hit a two-run homer for Flint Catholic.

Immaculates will meet St. William or Swansea in the best-ofthree final, scheduled to start tonight. Swansea took the opener of that series, 3-1 Sunday night on Ernie Bacon's two-hitter. Bacon also hit a two-run single and struck out nine batters.

St. William and Swansea met Tuesday night in the second game of that semi-fina:: with a third game, if needed, scheduled for last night. All games in this playoff are at Lafayette Park.

Defending league c:hampion Kennedy and Somerset posted victories in their respective semifinals in the post-season play-

eya Finals

offs of the Bristol County CYO Baseball League.

Kennedy defeated Maplewood, 5-2, and Somerset nipped North End, 3-2, at Thomas Chew Memorial Park last Sunday evening.

With the score tied at 2·2 going into the top of the seventh inning, Kennedy sent nine men to the plate in that frame to gain a 5-2· lead. Steve Harrington hurled a five-hitter and struck out eight in Kennedy's winning effort.

A fine pitching duel between Somerset's Lance Smalley and North End's Steve Ogden, each striking out 11 batters highlighted that game. Smalley gave up only three hits, one of them a homer by Dave Lima that tied the score at 1-1 in the sixth.

North added another run in that frame on Dave Audet's RBI grounder.

Somerset went on to win the game in the bottom of the seventh. With two out and the bases loaded Somerset got the tying run when Mike Moreira was hit by a pitch and sealed the decision on Gary Fernandes' basesloaded single.

Both semi-finals continued Tuesday night with third games, if needed, to be played last night. The best-of-three final gets underway Sunday evening, also at Chew Park, continuing Tuesday evening and, again, third games on Wednesday, if needed.
