Equal Employment Opportunity Key to Race Problems
WASHINGTON (NC) Equal employment opportu nity is the "master key" to the nation's race problem, tile Social Action Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference says. The Social Action Depart ment's 1963 La-hoI' Day statement MYs the "ultimate success" of racial justice efforts largely de pends on implementing "a uni. versal policy of equal employ ment opporunity for Negro workers in every industry and kade." ·'The effective exerc.iae 01
many of the Negro's other basic human rights will depend * * * on whether or not he is given an equal opportunity to develop hjs native skills and talents and to secure gainful and suitable em ployment on his own merits and without regard to the color 01 his skin," the statement says; The Social Action Department, whose director is Msgr. George G. Higgins, calls on trade unions, employers and government to take immediate action to guar antee equal job opportunities for Negroes and other minorities. While recent months have seen
"limited steps" in' this area, it says, labor, management and government have so far "hardly scratched the surface of the total problem." "Much more can and should be done * • * to protect the basic rights not only of Negroes, but of Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, American Indians, peo ple of Asian background, and the members _of other minority groups who, in varying degrees, are the victims of prejudice and discrim·ination," the statement _ declares. .The NCWC·department makes these recommendations on equal employment opportunity: Trade Unions. While there are no longer any unions which are "lily white" under the terms of their constitutions, nevertheless "a number of key unions" in practice exclude Negroes by
making it "extremelY difficult, workers that they can help rem if not impossible, for them to edy abuses "by playing an in qualify for membership." - creasingly aetive role in the This is done by refusing to trade union movement." Employers. The statement de enroll Negroes in apprenticeship clares that "Christian moral programs or by arbitrarily lim teaching requires ~very em iting the number of Negro ap ployer to maintain and enforce prentices. And other unions dis crhriinate by confining Negroes non-d,iscriminatory policies ill mring, upgrading and discharge." to so-called "auxiliary" locals. Acknowledging the difficulty . While calling on union leaders to take steps to remedy these faced by individual employers in this matter, it recommends conditions, the Social Action De partment at the same time that local and national employ stresses the need for rank-and. ers' associations and trade asso file efforts on behalf of racial ciations "come to the assistance justice.

Confusion in Ohio Over Bus Rides MEDINA (NC) - Confusion over constitutionality of bus rides for parochial school chil dren was highlighted as school boards in two neighboring Ohio ~unties arrived at contradic tory conclusions on the issue. The Medina School Board voted 2-1, with one member absent and one abstaining, to provide bus transportation for 114 puils attending St. Francis Xavier School and living within the public school district. But one county away, in Geauga, the West County School Board rejected 5-0 a request for transportation for some 240 pupils who wUl attend the new 51. Anselm School when it opens lin September. Request Opinion While the Medina board ap-. proved the transportation, As sistant County Prosecutor Jack Kinney formally requested a legal opinion from Ohio Atty. Gen. William Saxbe. Kinney said lie does not expect an answer irom Saxbe for several weeks. The only previous ruling on ftte issue by an Ohio attorney general came in 1927. That opinion held that providing tax paid bus rides for parochial school students is illegal in Ohio.

He said that the Council of Churches "wel comes every opportunity to join with our Roman Catholic friends in exploring matters of mutual concern." Because churches of all faiths are concerned with the problems of teenagers, "we must be sure that we measure up fully in our duties to satisfy their needs," Dr. Lenox said. The Council of Churches will send letters to its ministers urg ing their participation in the pastoral institute, Dr. Lenox added. Archbishop John F.

Legacy of Love
The March lIy
Some people may think that the march in Washington is a great waste of money and time and organizational skill. They may brand it as impractical because the mem bers of Congress are aware, for the most part, of the issues involved and have already formed their own con clusions about civil rights.
REV. JOHN L FOLSTEI

But the march shows that a good many people are willing to inconvenience themselves for what is right. It spells out the intensity of their conviction. It serves notice that there are many ready to· suffer for truth and justice. In a nation where pressure serves a legitimate purpose in making laws, it exerts pressure for fairness in public life.
We hear more a.nd more of a "common Bible." Didn't God inspire just one Bible? B.B., N.B.
It is a sad fact that in a large measure the Negro has received of his rights only what he had demanded. His de mands have in turn awakened the conscience of the nation and of individuals.
The Bible is not a book as such. There was no one author who one day started with G e n e sis and went
If the nation and if men have been made more sensitive
to matters of justice and rights because of the march, then without accomplishing anything else it has been a great success.
Strange Reasoning In a matter of days, students all over the United States will be returning to public school classrooms. And they will be met there with the Supreme Court decision forbidding them to recite the Lord's Prayer and to listen to readings from the Bible. Reactions to this decision have been many and wide ranging in their approval or disapproval. But one fact is inescapable: no matter what value, great or little, was attached to paying lip service to God in the public school classroom, this decision has pushed God one step further away from public life. And this at a time when there is growing concern over the breakdown of public morality and the alarming growth of crime. Noone, of course, would want one religious group eomposing prayers to be recited b~ others against their will. But, in public life, there should be at least the recog nition of God. This nation was founded on belief in God and in God-given rights. The traditions of the country are rich in references to Him and protestations of dependence upon Him. And yet one woman, a self-styled atheist, has been IlUccessful in objecting to public recognition of God in the classroom and her will has been imposed on the nation. But, it may be said, she was objecting in the name of her conscience. Then she should have been told to follow her conscience and let others follow theirs. Other individuals have risen up in the past to object, in the name of conscience, to such things as health programs and innoculations in public school. And yet these have not been allowed to impose their consciences on the rest. They were told that they could follow their consciences for them selves and their children and, meanwhile, the health pro gram for the others went on. The plea that their children would feel "different" watching others being innoculated while they were not seemed to carry no weight at all. But in the matter of public school prayer, an atheist was allowed to bend the nation to her will. It just doesn't make sense. It may well be that this decision will bring into sharper focus certain truths: that education must be God-centered; that parochial schools are of even greater value now than ever before; that parents have the right to send their children to such schools without being penalized by sup porting two educational systems; that government aid to education should be given to the child and follow him· to whatever system - public, private, parochial- that he attends. But no matter what kind of a blessing in disguise the Supreme Court decision may prove to be, it still remains a piece of strange reasoning and shows little respect for the consciences of the mtl.jority in the nation.

In the First Reading we learn that Gild com manded Jeremy to stand up to the rulers, the priests and the people of Israel. The Gospel re veals John calmly announcing th~~ judgment of God to the king. Scripture lessons at 1V£ass are not history-they are God's present Word to His people here and now. His message to us to day is the old question: "Do you wve me more than these?" FRIDAY-St. Rose of Lima, Vilrgin.· God's jealonsy (First Reading), though. a figure of spE~ech, illustrates the great dig nity to which He has called us, ti'w dignity He has given us in Jesus Christ. If the purity and single-heartedness He commands seE'ffi to us beyond our strength, we must recall that our dignity as Christians is also beyond our powers. He can accomplish that wh ich He has ordai.ned. SATURDAY - st. Raymond Nonnatus, Confessor. "You must be ready," (Gospel) Jesus points out specifically today, although it is implied in every Mass. If the spiritualization of all creation, thE' bringing of creation to its fulfullment, depended on our ef forts alone, pessimism would be justified. Since it does not, even thc.ugh it is through our efforts that the Saviour will accomplish it, we may be surprised and must be "ready."
13TH SUNDAY AFTER PEN. TEIDOST. "Covenant" and "faith" are the themes of today's Mass. Thl~ God in whom we believe is a God who has affirmed our val ue to such an extent that He has sought us out, even in our sill and disobedience, and promised us the world and more. And to make these promises a covenant, to make us capable of accepting them, He has poured into our hearts a divine gift we call faith. Faith is our "yes" to His prom ises and to His love. If a person loves us, we find OUI selves performing I 0 v i n g deE,ds. It is natural for us to love, and to act our love in return. Bu': these deeds are not the rea son the other person loves us. They are a great response. So our deeds, our "works," are not the reason God loves us (First Read- . OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER ing).

l\IONDAY-St. Stephen, King, Confessor. Man is by nature a doer, an actor. The villain of the Gospel story thought he was re fraj,ning from acting, and wanted to refrain because he feared the Lord, he feared responsibility.
But for man there is no neutral area between doing good and doing evil. If we do not good, we thereby do evil. If we do not do evil, we thereby do good (First Read ing). The business of public wor ship is an example. Refusal to take part in the Sunday assem bly of God's people is not a neu tral act. Insofar as it is deliber ate, it is already idolatry and sin.

Prescriptions, regula tions, formulae--these things by themselves mean bondage. They mean slavery to the human ele D).ent in the Church. But faith in Jesus Christ breathes holy lib erty into the Christian's life, without injuring his respect for laws and dogmas. The latter con vince us of our limitations, our weakness and infirmity. Faith convinced us of God's certain and everlasting love. '
Bible World's Most Translated Book . NEW YORK (NC)-The Bible is still the world's most trans lated work, according to Index Translationum, an international bibliography published here by the United Nations E,ducational, Scientific and Cultural Organ ization (UNESCO). The Bible was translated 246 times during 1961, a slight drop from the 258 translations printed in 1960, the bibliography states. In second place were the works of Lenin, with 185 translations. There were nine translations of the works of the late Father TeiIhard de Chardin, French an thropologist and scholar.

The Bible is a collection 0 f different kinds of books, written by var ious men, in various languages. The varioU8 books are not arranged chronol ogically but rather according to the history of our salvation ~ according to the type of litera ture: his tor y, poetry, and prophecy. These various books were re written, translated, copied, ete. down through history. There were other books introduced that spoke of the same thingll or events. The Councils of Car thage III and IV (397 and 41st sorted out the various books and listed those that were truly in spired and to be included in "the Bible." The others were rejected as 'spurious, interesting but justi plain reading. The Jews of course did not recognize the New Testament nor did they recognize any book not written in Hebrew. At the time of the Protestant Revolu tion, some books were cast aside. The Church in the Coun-: cils of Trent and Vatican I (15id and 1870) only reiterated what had once been declared final. Some translations differed. Today, with all the hope and interest for unity, there is talk of making one Bible that would be acceptable both to the Catho lic Church and to the many sects of Protestantism. There is a growing appreciation of the books not contained in the Pro\ estant list by these many sects. There has even been urgings to restore these books to the King James Version' by Protestants themselves. Today, most Protes tant versions contain them in • section of the Bible.

During his stay in the United States he was received by President Eisenhower and visited Chicago, Boston, Phila delphia and Washington before going on to South America. Other recent travels have taken him throughout Europe and to many of the new nations of Africa. At home in Italy's largest dio. eese, Cardinal Montini was a hard worker and an early riser. His day usually began at 6 A.M. with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Then came part of his breviary, a light breakfast, a careful reading of the morning newspapers, and a busy morning of interviews or trips to the fac tories.

Lunch was the despair of the nuns who ran the kitchen. It never seemed to get underway before two o'clock in the after noon, often later. The Cardinal was a simple eater, usually tak ing only soup, meat and fruit. He rarely drinks wine and does Dot smoke.

Witnesses reveal that the encounter, of the two men was a very touch~ one.

Nor will many be surprised if he follows the pro gressive policies that he pursued as an archbishop, or those which he praised so liberally during the pontificate of Pope John. This brief biography that has appeared in the pages of The Anchor is but a sketchy intro duction to the life of a great churchman. Pope Paul VI con tinues to write his own biogra phy with each act of his pon tificate. The world wants him to write a great biography, one that will

Commends Devotion To Blessed Virgin CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Pope Paul VI tOld a general au dience here that devotion to the Blessed Virgin "leads us to the unique and supreme cult" owed to Christ. The Pope told the audience he hoped that what he said would help his listeners "to understand properly and to practice well" devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Such devotion "expresses our loyalty to the Church, which has in Mary its most holy and most beautiful daughter," he said. It also "teaches us to imitate Our Lady and her virtues, so sublime and still so human, above all in faith, in the acceptance of the Word of God, which initiates our souls in the life of Christ." The Pope spoke in Italian, French, English, Spanish and German.
daughter in a private audience. Brown presented the Pope with a volume on the natural beauties of California. The governor is on a tour of Europe to promote trade and tourism between his state and Europe. Before his audience with Pope Paul, Brown told a press con ference he was considering a proposal to raise a statue of St. Francis of Assisi in San Fran cisco which is named for the saint. On Alcatraz Brown said the statue might be placed on the island of AI catraz in San Francisco Bay. The island was used for more than three decades as the site of a federal prison, but now is vacant. Brown said the project was suggested to him by authorities of the saint's hometown, Assisi, during his visit there. The As sisi officials offered to pay part of the cost, he said. The governor said the project will be submitted to a council of experts in California. He sug gested that pink stone for the statue could be quarried from Mount Subasio near Assisi.

Urges Laywomen Foster Vocations
,Family Life Comes to Standstill
As All Hands Seek Stubby
ALBUQUERQUE ( N C) Bishop Loras T. Lane of Rock ford, Ill., has asked that girls be given the opportunity to learn more about religious life by as sisting nuns in their work. Bishop Lane, speaking on the campus of the University of New Mexico at the Theresians' Na tional Sisterhood Vocation Con ference, called for the formatioR of service groups which would be open to all girls. Women must work to build a type of society in which voca tions to the religious life will grow, the Bishop told the There sians, an organization of lay women devoted to fostering v0 cations to the sisterhoods. The Theresian must work to present the true image of the nun to the laity, the Bishop said, To do' this, he explained, $he must be thoroughly acquainted with the life of the nun. Too often, Bishop Lane said, non Catholics think of the nun ,as someone covered in yards of serge - a remnant of the medi eval Church.
The Bishop asked that women avoid any tendency to down grade the vocation to the married state in their efforts to gain sisterhood vocations.

Mother Casey Solves Textbook
Problem by Composing, One
OMAHA (NC) - A Sister decided it wasn't logical to teach logic without a textbook, so she wrote her own. The first copies of Mother Helen Casey's book, "Logic, a Practical Approach," have just been printed by the Henry Regnery Company of Chicago. "I'm simply thrilled," Mother Casey said as she thumbed through the pages of her book. Mother Casey began to work on the text over six years ago when she was assigned to teach a high school logic class in Chicago. When Mother Casey discovered there were no text
,books for the course, she first lIsed a college text on logic as
• guide. But her students com plained that they couldn't un derstand her, so Mother Casey began to' compose her own text
what Mother Casey was doing, they asked her to have the book published. During the time, the book was in preparation, Mother Casey wrote almost 4,000 pages, so many that stacks of paper filled her room and spilled out into the hall. Before she began work on her logic book, Mother Casey was dean of Duchesne College of the Sacred Heart in Omaha from 1930 to 1940, and served as presi dent of. the college from 1940 10 1949.

LONDON (NC) Catholic teachers from all over the world w,ere ,told here that they must never usurp the rights even of inadequate parents. Bishop Andrew Beck, A.A., of S~llford, chairman of the Catho Ii<: Education C~uncil of Eng le ad and Wales, told the fifth trjennial congress of the World, Union of Catholic Teachers that the teacher is the "agent and ' auxiliary of the parent in the work of education." , Some 250 represent,atives of half a million Catholic teachers in 50 countries took part in the congress held in London Univer sUy's Institute of Education.

Bishop Beck said,. "home and
school must work hand in hand
as far as possible without stress
or tension, above all without
creating a division of loyalties in the mind of the child. "This is why we insist that the child of a Catholic home should be entrusted to the care of Catholic teachers." S.W.

Urge's 'Mature Teen-agers To Set Pace for Others
By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. Sixteen of twenty-one civilizations which have perished fa the pages of history did not succumb to aUacks from without: they decayed from within. Material prosperity may rava~e both body· and soul by making the body grow quickly old through excessive ease and comfort, and by making the sool serve iwo
. By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J.
Many of you teen-agers seem obsessed with yelling
constantly how mature you are. You demand "more re
sponsibility," so that you can prove to someone - your
fellow teen-agers, or the adults, or most probably just your
self - that you're an adult.

18 - year - olds v 0 t e? and these things are part of the adult
you're pretty convinced by the answer they often come up with: "If we're old
enough to fight,
we're old
enough to
vote."
Which is a lot
of hooey, and just as phoney as your claim to maturity some
times is.
At one stage
of his life, the
little boy thinks
you show maturity in knowing how to spit. Somewhat later, he will announce his maturity in some spicy terms he knows (even though a "damn" in his mouth has all the casual charm ()f a teen-aged girl showing the ldds in the other booths that she inhales when she smokes). Childish Actions And you teen-agers often seem to think that you show your maturity by stupid, reckless driving, by smoking too much and drinking and· necking. In other words,· you're out to show ~ "maturity" by those very outward signs which prove be yond a doubt that you're still an infant. Because it's infantile to drive a car recklessly - or to idolize a car, for that matter, as you so often seem to do. It's puerile to 9Itloke when you don't really want to, just to "prove" your ~wing maturity, . especially when you'd probably feel and look and undoubtedly even smell better without it. And drinking; of course, can be one of the big give-aways to i m a tu r i t y, even in a tottering 'old guy 'in his vener able 'forties or ancient fifties. . In the News Some years ago when a bunch of heroic Hungarian teen-agers were bravely and uriselfishly risking their lives (and often enough giving their lives) for a nebulous thing they called "free dom," American teen-agers' were in the papers too: they were in water-fights with the police on one college campus, bravely marching on a women's dorm to conduct a "panty raid" on an ollher. At a time when an obscure s c h 0 0 1 or two were being bombed in the southern states, so that a few unimportant Amer ican children and other negli gible Americans were seriously endange~ed or injured or killed, college papers found that their most important news items had, to do with Gladys Gluck, the Homecoming Queen, or Patsy Protozoa, Miss Biology Lab. , 'Still Kids' Responsibility? Teen - agers seem to scream their heads off for this undefined item until it's actually offered them, and then dley begin to plead that they're really still kids and shouldn't

masters. Applying this to the Church in the United States, do Wi! not have too much while others have too little? As Catholics we are members of the Mystical Body everywhere in the world: the hunger of India is our hunger; the infra-human degradation of the slums of Latin America is our deadened spirit. The sad fact is that wherever there is economic prosperity the rich get richer and wherever there are vast populations, or soul explosions, there is growing poverty.

ins u 1 ate d civilization called
teendom is too tender and im
mature (in an appealing child
like sort of way, of course) to
be tortured with such problems

And the teen-ager who is con cerned with these matters, while his contemporaries are having their fun preparatory to growing
into adults (which preparation
may extend well into middle
age and beyond), is often re
garded as a square.

Free Education Goal of Quebec Students' Drive MONTREAL (NC) "Operation Free Education" has been launched by 11 or ganizations representing 88, 000 college students attending Catholic and non _ Catholic schools in Quebec Province. They are conducting a cam paign of information and nego tiation in an effort to bring about free education at all levels, including university, as soon as possible. The Quebec g 0 v ern men t headed by Premier Jean Lesage has announced a long-term pro gram leading to free education. The student program hopes to hasten enactment of legislation for this purpose. Fees Increase Of immediate concern are in creases in university fees which range from $40 to $100 this year. The student organizations say such an increase will mean much hardship to many and is not compatible with the government plan. Student organizations coop- " erating in the program are from Laval, Montreal and McGill Universities, the University of Sherbrooke, Classical Colleges of Quebec, Loyola College, Mari anopolis College, National Stu dent Press, Sir George Williams University, General Association of Students of Quebec and les Copains de St. Henri.
$3.25 Million School Expansion Highlight PIDLADELPHIA (NC) - A new $3.25 million high school, named in" honor of the late John Cardinal O'Hara, will open this September in suburban Philadel phia. A coinstitutional school with room for 4,000 students, it is part of a multimillion dollar expan sion program in the Philadelphia archdiocese. Total enrollment in the Cath olic elementary and diocesan high schools of the five-county· Philadelphia archdiocese will reach a record 269,754 with the opening of school in September, an increase of 7,068 over last year's enrollment. Of this num ber, 56,974 students will attend the tuition-free Catholic high schools of the Philadelphia archdiocese.
Use 1300-Year-Old Ritual in Blessing LATROBE (NC)-A ceremony nearly 13 centuries old will be used when the Rt. Rev. Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., is blessed as Coadjutor Archabbot of St. Vincent's Archabbey here in Pennsylvania today. The blessing which rivals in solemnity the consecration of a bishop, will be imparted by Bishop William G. Connare of Greensburg, Pa., during the of;' fering of a Solesmn Pontifical Mass in the archabbey. The earliesi form of the abba tial blessing wlls ordered in the seventh century by St. Theodore of Canterbury. A century later the Pontifical of Egbert of York provided a special ritual for such a ceremony.
Oppose Referendum On Housing Law SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The Catholic Interracial Council of San Francisco has opposed ef forts to obtain a referendum on California's new fair housing law. The CIC said in a statement that "Californians committed to genuine equal opportunity should not sign any referendum petition to abolish the new state fair housing law." The Citizens League fur In dividual Freedom is currently seeking to obtain 300,000 voters' signatures on a referendum pe tition. If it does 80 before Fri day, Sept. 20, enforcement of the fair housing law will be blocked and it will be submittecl to referendum in 1964.

Visiting Fall River last week was the regional "Responsable'" for a unique organiza tion, the Charles de Foucauld Secular Fraternity. He is Leo Callahan, native of Fall River and former member of St. Patrick's parish, now married and the father of two, and teaching history at a New York City private school. The Secular Fraternity is founded on the teachings of Charles de Foucauld, 0 n e - tim e" French army officer and son of a wealthy family who abandoned a gay life to live in the depths of the Sahara desert, seeking to become a witness of Christ to the Arabs whom he considered the most abandoned people on earth. Caught in an episode of the chronic French Arab warfare in the Sahara, he was killed, and died without making a single persevering convert to his way of 'life. After his death, however, sev eral priests went to the Sahara to follow his example and study his teachings. They became the Little Brothers of Jesus, the nu cleus of an organization now nUlpbering many members and inclUding nuns, brothers and laypeople, married and single. Large Area Mr. Callahan is "Responsable" (the fraternity uses the French term) for an area covering New England, the Middle Atlantic States, Washington, D. C. and the Midwest. There are secular fraternities in New York City, Boston, Washington and Chicago. Purpose of fraternity, says Mr. Callahan, is "to attempt to live the life of the Gospel through the realization in our own lives of the life of Jesus." Three means are used by mem bers to achieve this aim: study and meditation on the Scriptures; practice of fraternal love, espe cially by "being accessible to everyone who might need help"; and the. Review of Life, which is a discussion among members as to how they have ''met Jesus" in others and whether they have embraced or rejected opportu nities to serve Him in their brothers.

The fraternity does not accept private members, as do tertiary organizations, but insists that there be at least two to form the nucleus of a group. Only membership requirement is to have the desire to live the life of the Gospel according to one's state. There are no dues, mem:. bership cards or other parapher nalia of most organizations. Meetings are usually held monthly. Need of Adoration Although there are no pre scribed prayers or devotions for members, it is strongly urged that a daily period be devoted to adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. In this way members "encounter the person of Jesus in the Sacra ment." Other branches of the organ. ization include the Litte Broth ers and Little Sisters of Jesus. These are priests, brothers and nuns. They live in the midst of people as ''Witnesses to Jesus in the midst of the world and its distractions."

Shrine Despite Red Barriers
BERLIN (NC) - An estimated 100,000 pilgrims traveled to Poland's national Marian shrine at Czesto chowa for the Feast of the As sumption despite an organized effort on the part of the com munist regime to deter them. Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of Poland, who offered the main Mass at the Czesto chowa shrine of Our Lady Queen of Poland, said in his sermon that some pilgrims suffered their own "way of the cross" to get there. A crowd of 100,000 is not ab normal for Czestochowa's shrine - either on the feast of the As sumption or that of Our Lady of Czestochowa the following week. It was learned here that the Polish government seized on the pretext of a smallpox outbreak in southwestern Poland to try to block the annual pilgrimage of the feast of the Assumption. Seven smallpox deaths were re ported within a five - week period, and government func_ tionaries ruled out pilgrimages. War of Attrition Polish Catholics quickly noted that there was no restriction on ordinary tourist travel, and in terpreted the anti - pilgrimage rulings as merely a phase of the communist apparatus' war of at,. trition against the Church. The outcome' was that instead of traveling as pilgrims in or ganized groups, Poles went to Czestochowa as individual tour ists. Police roadblocks were set up at the approaches to the city, and the incoming "tourists" had to show both identity cards alid vaccination cerUficates. It was reported, moreover, that the police turned back some whose documuents were in order.

Seniors at Bishop Cassidy High Eager to Start First Full Year In Beautiful. New Building With the opening of school in September Bishop Cas sidy High in Taunton will begin its first fun school year. This year's senior class will be the first to have spent a complete year at the new school which stems from old St. Mary's High.

Both girls attended St. Mary's High before going into the new Bishop Cassidy building. Brenda, daughter of Mr. Ralph Buckley of 9 East Broadway in Taunton, has always taken' an active role in school affairs and this year will be co-editor-in chief of Cassidy High's memory book, the Corona. In talking about the new school building, Brenda can get very enthusiastic. "The architec~ure," she says "is beautiful. Nothing seems dreary." A high point of this Summer came last weekend for Brenda, when she went to Annapolis for Parents' Weekend. Her brother Gerard is a plebe at the Naval Academy. An uncle, Rev. Walter J. Buckley, is pastor of St. Kil ian Church, New Bedford. Brenda's the youngest of four. Another brother is an engineer and a sister is a registered nurse, so blue-eyed Brenda will have family guidance in any of sev eral careers when it comes time to decide what vocation she'd like to follow. Suzanne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Fornal, is also en thusiastic about the new school building and is happy to be a member of the first senior class to be having a full year at Cas sidy High. Of the building itself Suzanne says "It is impossible to

Likes to Paint Favorite subjects for Brenda include English, Spanish and chemistry. English and Spanish head the list because she has a flair for languages and finds them easy. "Chemistry," ·says Brellda, "is a fascinating subject and one that holds your inter est." Suzanne finds .English, Amer ican history and French her most interesting subjects mostly because there .is always a lot of class participation and she likes discussion. However, the real love in Suzanne's life is paint ing. She is never late for art class and is also a student at a private art studio in Taunton. National Honor Society Both Brenda and Suzanne are top students scholastically at Bishop Cassidy and are proud of their membership in the Debra bant chapter of the National Honor Soc i e t y. During the coming year SU7Janne will serve as vice-president of the society and Brenda will be in charge of funds as treasurer. The National Honor Society is made up of students who have'

Plans to Revise .Clergymen See Fraud in Claims Censorship Law Made for Right-to- Wo~k Laws QUEBEC (NC) The 50 year-old film censorship law in Quebec is to be overhauled, Pro vincial Secretary Bona Arse nault has announced. At the same time he said that Pierre Saucier, a director of the Domi nican magazine Maintenant, has been named a member of the film censorship bureau. Films henceforth must be ac cepted intact or rejected en tirely, Arsenault said. Films will be rated in adult or child cate gories. Revisions to the existing law will be introduced in the Quebec Legislature at the next session in September. Arsenault said Saucier's ap pointment signifies a new policy because in the future the job will be fUll-time for all mem bers. Experience had shown that part-time appointments were in adequate, and part-time censors did not have the time or interest to educate themselves in the techniques of film censoring. achieved a high scholastic rating. Great interest is also shown by both girls in many other activi. ties. During her sophomore year, .Brenda was class representative for the mission club, which has as its aim the helping of missions both financially and spiritually. Brenda has also been active in 'the Catholic Students Mission Crusade and the Bishop's Relief Fund. During the coming year Suzanne will serve as secretary of the Catholic Action program at Cassidy High. Sodality Union For the past few years Su zanne has been an active mem ber of Our Lady, Cause of Our Joy Sodality at the high school. Next year she will s~ve as so dality treasurer having been elected to that post at the close of the last school year. She will also act as recording secretary for the Queen of Peace Sodality Union which is a federation of high school sodalities. Members of the sodality meet weekly and strive to better their oWn spiritual life. They also en gage in various activities bene ficial not only to themselves but to .their fellow ·classmates, the missions and the Church in gen eral. Like to Read Reading is high on the list of likes for both girls. "Reading is essential," says Brenda, "if a student expects to get good grades. It's all well and good to know the textbook material, but unless the student brings a good background of literature to the subject at hand, she can't expect to get the most out of it...
WASHINGTON (NC) A Catholic priest and a Methodist minister charged here that supporters of so-called "right-towork" laws are guilty of fraud in saying the laws guarantee freedom. Msgr. George G. Higgins, director, Social Action Department, National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference, and Rev. Edward F. Allen, superintendent, Augusta district, Maine Methodist Churches, spoke on an eight city radio network beamed from American University here. The two said the purpose of "right-to-work" laws is to take away the freedom of manage ment and labor to negotiate a union shop agreement through coilective bargaining.

end Katherine Anne Porter. A common theme is that these people simply had to write. Some say that they never thought of doing anything else; others that :they did not set out to be writers. But common to all is the idea that really they had no choice in ''Che matter; there was in them a lift or a compulsion to write. Some began very early; thus, Lawrence Durrell has been at it since he was eight years old. Another common theme is that writing is, as Katherine Porter puts it, a solitary and sedentary trade. Boris Pasternak stresses the writer's need of secrecy and flUiet. Hemingway speaks of writing as private and lonely. And he adds, "The further you go in writing the more alone you ere * * * You are more alone be cause that is how you must work and the time to work is shorter ell the time and if you waste it )"ou have comtnitted a sin for which there is no forgiveness." ' 'Slush Mail' It is Hemingway, too, who _ys, ''The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers." And S. 3. Perelman, although expressing gratitude for ideas which some readers have given him, observes tartly, "It keeps the incinerator COing all the time" of "a lot of slush mail." People feel no compunction about breaking in on the writer, for they have no eonception of the concentration I:lequired and the deadly effecl of .nseless interruption. He has made it a point of st<lP ping when he knew what was going to happen next, thus guar anteeing that he could start up without difficulty the following day. Miss Porter speaks of the importance of keeping "at a boil· ing point * * * so that I can get up in the morning with my mind still working where it was yes terday." Speeds, Outputs Vary There is a great difference to be noted in the writing speed of the various authors and the rate of output. Thus, Hemingway kept a chart showing the number of words he had got down on various days, and a casual glance showed such totals as 450, 575, 462, 1250, 512. Durrell, on the other hand, says that he can turn out ten thousand words in two days, al though not consistently. He did one novel in four months, an other in two months, a third in six weeks. Hemingway r e w rot e every thing. Each day's work began with a rewrite of thj! previous day's. He revised the ending of A Farewell to Arms 39 times be fore - he was satisfied with it. Once again Durrell' stands in striking contrast: he does not go back over anything he has pro duced, except when writing verse. Verse he writes in longhand, but his novels on a typewriter. Miss McCarthy, too, does her novels on a typewriter. ,Heming way always stood when he wrote, and always he began by
the easiest thing for him to turn out was dialogue. All the writers are constant readers. Several say that reading keeps them going, not in the sense of directly giving them ideas or tutoring, but by firing' the imagination and helping the creative juices to flow. Study Others Some studied other authors de liberately. For example, Ralph NNAA AWARD: Margue Elilson reveals that he studied Hemingway "to learn his sen rite Goen, dean of students tence structure and how to or at Mississippi '-State College ganize a story."

Doctors, Prayers Aid in Success Of D-eHcate Kidney Transplant NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Eight year-old Claudia Ballay had a team of five doctors working- for her inside the operating room, and' a team of hundreds praying for her outside, in homes and churches.. The delicate kidney transplant for Claudia appears to be suc cessful, for she is walking now for the first time in nearly Ii year. 'Even non-Catholics had their congregations praying," said Claudia's mother, Mrs. O. A. Bal lay, who is the organist and choirmaster in St. Andrew par i1sh here. At that parish, special prayers were directed through Father Francis Xavier Seelos, a Re demptorist priest who died in New Orleans of yellow fever in 1867. Redemptorists here have been working for years for his
beatification cause.
Last May 16 St. Andrew pa rishioners arranged for a Mass for Claudia and afterwards prayed at Father Seelos' tomb. Experts Crowd Room The same day the gravely ill girl was wheeled into a Charity Hospital operating room crowded with medical experts, including Dr. Keith Reemstma, associate professor at Tulane University. In the adjoining operation room lay the patient from whom a healthy -'kidney had to be re moved because of another med; ical difficulty. Since then Claudia has had two more operations, one each to remove her two defective kid neys, Doctors must keep close tab on her and it will .be some time before 'she can return to school. But she's been home. since July 16.
K Of Levitt argued that the Federal courts do not have jurisdiction in the case because "the real plain- . tiff in this case is a foreign state,
to wit; state of the Vatican City,
Europe."
. The pamphlet allegedly- con· tained these words, ascribing them to the Knights of Columbus as an oath taken by its members: ·'Hang, Burn Heretics' '''I do further promise and de clare that I will, whenopportu nity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons * * * I will neither spare age, sex or condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle and burn alive those infamous heretics." The oath actually was distrib uted in a number of North Caro_ lina communities during the election. But the Knights of Columbus moved to expose the oath as they have done in other states through the years. Their presentation of the true facts and threats of legal action halted distribution of the pam. phlets in most cases.

Reviewing NCAA Changes
THE ANCHORThurs., Aug. 29, 1963
In the 1963 Grid Rules
Racial Prejudice Nation's Gravest Domestic Evil
By Jack Kineavy The abnormal but delightful weather we've enjoyed this past week may prove a premature harbinger of Autumn. Nonetheless, it has served to set the stage for the advent of the 1963 football season which will officially get under., way in schools and colleges with the clock running or in this area next week. Regu stopped each team may substi. lar sea son interscholastic tute two men. This also applies competition is not scheduled to a first down situation when a to begin until Saturday, Sept. 26, Southeastern Mass., and though som e colleges in the East have Sept. 21 con test s carded, m 0 s t don't get under way until the 1 as t Saturday of the month. Ap ro p 0 s the season, we thought we might look at some of the ma jor rule changes which the NCAA has adopted for 1963. These are substantially the same for Mass. high schools with the exception of the substitution rule and a few other modifica tions which the Secondary School Principals Association deems advisable. The college changes are few. but the struggle between advocates of limited and unlimited substitution con tinues to wax strong and again has resulted in 8 compromise which could prove rather com plex. The rule appears simple enough. It states "Any number of players may be replaced by either team during an intermis sion between periods. (This also has been extended to include the period after any score, ed. note). When the game clock' is stopped during 8 period, any number of substitutes may enter the game before the ball is next put in play except: 8. During the interval prior to fourth down and during the interval prior to the down when Team B (the defensive team, ed. note) bas been designated &I Team A, no more than two sub lltitutes of each ·team may enter before the ball is put in play, whether the clock is running or stopped. b. During lion excess time-out ,ranted while the clock is run ning. e. When the clock is stopped for a reieree's discretionary time-out, no substitutes Jnay eater the games ex-eept as per mitted ill. a, above." Complex Rule There is more but at the risk of having gone into too techni eal an approach already we'll dispense with it, except to note that with the ostensibly more liberal lubstitution rule itt ef fect, the number of time outs permitted each team each half has been reduced from five to four. Understanding of the rule i. facilitated by keeping the status of the clock and the number of the down in mind. With the clock running, no substitutes are permitted on second or third down or on first down if A has retained the ball and established a new series. On fourth down in
series has ended and a new one begun. When the clock is stopped, un limited substitution is allowed, keeping in mind the two excep tions noted above. Thus, you may expect this season a great many out of bounds plays which are designed to stop the clock and permit a coach the latitude he wants to guide his team. There may be a higher incidence of intentionally incomplete passes for the same reason. Of course, a coach may buy his sub stitutes into the game by taking a charged time out or five yard penalty for delay in the event he has no free time out remain ing. We won't go into the e'Scep tions for the exception except to define a referee's discretionary time out as one wherein a first down measurement is requested or equipment has become dan gerous through play in neither which case is substitution al lowed except as noted in Section "a". During an excess time out this is the instance wherein a team has an injured player or players who must be replaced despite the fact that the team has used all its time outs-sim ilar restrictions are effective. In' the event the excess time out occurs oil second or third down with the clock running, the team allowed the excess may replace only the injured player(s). The opponents, how ever, may replace any number. If the situation occurs during the interval prior to fourth down or during the interval when Team B has been designated Team A, each team may replace not more than two players in addition to the injured player(s). Another major change makes the T quarterback an eligible pass receiver. You may recall the Yale-Princeton game last Fall when the Blue used the un rehearsed maneuver to beat the Tigers. The foul was detected by T.V. and radio sportscasters who must be acutely aware of players by number but appar ently all was serene on the field. Anyway, now it's' all legal and the official who took such a roasting for having allowed an ineligible man to score a vital touchdown now can take some measure of solace from the ex post facto rules revision. And finally, there has been some effort to curtail the vicious assault by men in motion on de fensive ends and backers up. This new rule prohibits a' man in motion toward the ball when it il snapped to· clip in the so-called permissive zone which is cen tered on the middle man of the offensive formation and extends four yards laterally and three yards longitudinally in each direction. The change is benefi cial but unfortunately it doesn't go nearly far enough.

'Monk' Malloy Forsakes Basketball Court to Study for Priesthood WASHINGTON (NC)-A dec ade or so ago young Ed (Monk) Malloy began dribbling a basket ball adeptly and his dad started dreaming of the day his son would play in pro ranks. Well, young Malloy now is headed for the big league-but not the one the elder Edward A. Malloy envisioned. Come mid September and young Malloy heads back to the University of Notre Dame, where he was grad_ uated in June, to enroll in the seminary and begin studies for the Holy Cross priesthood. Dearth of Priests Young Malloy had all the equipment for the pro basketball ranks, but at Notre Dame, where he was on the varsity for three years, he came to appreciate that the world is more than a large, round ball and there's a dearth of priests and missioners serving its people. In sweat-drenched, green shirt labeled "Dailey's Restaurant," Malloy talked of such things at the half of a Summer league basketball game. The "Dailey's" were battling "Jake's All Stars." The team names were deceptive, but the players were college and former college athletes staying in shape during the Summer months-fellows like foot baIlers Jon Morris and John Dugan of

Holy Cross, Oklahom'a's JOhnny Flynn .and the brothers Feldman of George Washington. Malloy disclosed he was just back from a three-month stint with a half dozen other Notre Dame .students serving as ,l~y missioners in Peru. , He said: "We did a little bit of everything-teaching, co;tch ing, helping to build roads and houses, just about anything we could do to help. We had head quarters in Lima, but went to places all over the country where we were needed." His compassion was showing when he stressed it's one of tho s e must-be-seen-to-be-be Heved situations, the vast amount of good a few trained men can accomplish. He continued: "And those peo ple are wonderful - simple, kind, eager to learn, so aprecia tive of things done for them. It's heartbreaking to see them and heartbreaking, too, to real ize all the help they need from lay missioners, priests, doctors and all sorts of technicians."
Pope John Seminary BOSTON (NC) - The new seminary for late vocations be ing established by Richard Car dinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, in nearby Weston will be named in memory of Pope John XXIII. The Cardinal said the seminary will be opened in September, 1964. He said a num ber of applications from men older than the usual semi narian's age already have been received.
science issued by religious leaders at the first Greater Newark Conference on Religion and Race. The declaration was drafted by Catholic, Protestant and Jcwishclergymen and was read to some 400 participants in the conference at Essex Catholic High School by Father Aloysius Welsh, coordinator of interracial justice programs for the Newark archdiocese and one of the prime movers in the conference. Theme of the first in a planned series of conferences was "In terracial Justice in Employ ment." Keynote speakers were New Jersey Gov. Richard J. Hughes and Newark Mayor Hugh J. Addonizio, both Catho lics. Both emphasized the moral nature of the racial crises but both rejected the "quota system" of employment as a solution to the problem. 'Tragic Facts' In their statement, the reli gious leaders said "confronted as we are with the tragic facts of racial prejudice, discrimination' and segregation enforced by laws or custom in our society, we recognize the underlying racism as our most serious do mestic evil which we must eli minate with all diligence and speed. For this purpose, we ap:' peal to the consciences of all 6f our people and to the American public at large." "The evil of racism," the state ment continued "has deep roots: it will not be easily eradicated. The heart of the race question is moral and religious. It con cerns the rights of human beingll and our attitude towards our fel low man." The statement said "Ameri cans of all religious persuasion have been slow to recognize that racial discrimination ill an insult to G<ld."

Catholic Schools Anticipate Another Record Enrollment
Stress Equal Employment Opportunity for 'Negroes Continued from Page One of their individual employer members" by ·taking a united etlind for equal job opportunity. The statement says employers '''aI'e in a position to do more than 'almost any other segment 'of the American population to . promote the cause of interracial justice." Voluntary Organizations Government. The Social Action Department says there' is "urgent need" for a permanent Federal Fair Employment Practices Committee with wide jurisdiction and the power to enforce sanctions. It also recommends the establishment of similar state committees. In addition the statement calls for enactment of the youth employment opportunity bill now pending before Congress. At the same time, however, it notes that legislation alone cannot solve the problems of school dropouts, "functional illiterates" and other "disadvantaged" young people. Primary responsibility for aiding such youths to qualify for employment, it says, rests not with government agencies but with voluntary, non-governmental organizations."
The statement says economic justice for the Negro is "not likely to be achieved unless and until there is economic prosper": ity for all our citizens." In this connection it cites what it calls the "alarmingly high" unemployment rate in the U. S. and calls for efforts to reduce it. The Social Action Department statement concludes with a "prayer for justice and harmony in the field of race relations" that asks G1>d to "graciously give us the vision to see clearly the full meaning of Your command to love 'our neighbor as we love ourselves, and grant us the grace to observe this precept in our daily lives."
levelling off. High schools, however, continue expansion at a rapid pace. Their enrollment went over the million mark for the first time in 1962. By the end of the past school year,.
