Bishop Bids His Flock Farewell tlROWNSVILLE (NC)-oll a nute of deep humility, Archbishop-designate Humberto S. Medeiros said farewell to the priests, Religious and laity of the Brownsville diocese which he has headed for the last four years. He will be installed to succeed' retired Cardinal Richad J. Cushing as archbishop of Boston on Wednesday, Oct. 7. In a special message to the people of Brownsville diocese, the archbishop-designate .said: "Frankly. I did not deserve to be your shepherd as I do not deserve to be the shepherd of the justly renowned Church of Boston. In simplicity of heart I joyfully accept the will of the Lord, even if acceptance entails the deep sqrrow of leaving those who are such a living part of my' being as a brother, a father, a priest and a bishop. "What a blessing it has been for me to be with you, to be one of you in your joys and in your sorrows, in your problems and in your hopes for over four short years. I will leave enriched in spirit by you as my brothers. "May it please God that my being with you has brought you and me closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the bishop and Shepherd of our souls. This has been the first, the last and only burning desire of my heart."

New St.Vincent's' Facility Groundbreaking takes place tomorrow afternoon at 2 for the new St. Vincent's Home in Fall River which will be located on land on Highland Avenue across from the Catholic Memorial Home. The first spade of earth will be turned by Most Rev. James L. Connolly, Bishop of Fall River. He will be assisted by Rev. John F. Cronin, director of St. Vincent's Home and the one who has been coordinating plans for this new facility for children who are deprived of parents or whose parents cannot

adequately met-t their special needs. The follqwing description of the new St. Vincent's was prepared for The Anchor by Father Cronin who also holds a Master's degree on Social - Work from Boston College Graduate School of Social Work. It was way back in 1887 ",hen the first children were admitted to St. Vincent's Home. At that time; they were housed in one of the old buildings at the former Forest Hill Gardens amusement park.

Cardinal Richard Cushing as archbishop of Boston, knows all 113 priests' in his di6cese by name. In this he follows in the footsteps of Bishop James L. Connolly of Fall River who also knows his priests in this way and whom Bishop Medeiros served as secretary and vice-chancellor and chancellor before becoming Bishop of Brownsville in June of 1966.

But it may be difficult to do the same thing in the Boston archdiocese with a priest population of 2,496-after his installation there Oct. 7. Brownsville and Bustun differ in several other路 respects: the former is rural with 57 parishes. 14 elementary schools and a predominantly Mexican-American Catholic population of almost 260,000. The latter is urban, with 401 parishes, 235 elementary schools and a multi-ethnic Catholic population of nearly two million. "It's a fascinating challenge Turn to Page Six

School .Aid Continued from Page One vergirig problems - financial, caused principally by soaring ed.ucation costs, and educational, caused by increased demands for excellence. Citing reluctance of some people to support the aid to private schools concept, he argued that the freedom to choose such a school is a fundamental American right but .that right cannot· be upheld if it's an option for the rich only. He also stressed the educational crisis is particUlarly acute in urban areas where nonpublic schools face the greatest threat of extinction. Measure of Support . Five realities facing New Jersey citizens which must be taken into consideration in considering validity of state assistance were outlined by the monsignor: Non-public education, embracjng 20 per cent of the state's pupils, is of basic importance to the state. Any substantial reduction in private schoois would mean severe economic hardship for. public schools. Non-public educatinon can no longer meet increasing costs without outside help. Many public school districts have severe financial problems of their own a.!ld are in no position to absorb additional students from 'nonpublic school .systems. The solution is to afford nonpublic schools a measure of support within constitutional limitations so they can continue their public servi.ce.

On Sunday On Sunday afternoon at 3:30 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall }{iver, Msgr. John F. Denehy, Colonel in U. S. Ail' Force will be principal concelebrant at a Mass of Thanksgiving to commemorate his Silver Jubilee in the Priesthou(l. BishOp Connolly will preside and four retired military chaplains who have served full military careers will be concelebrants. Rev. Msgr. John' F. Albert, Brigadier General and present Deputy Chief of Air Force Chaplains will deliver the homily.

AR<':HBISHOP~S GUIDI::: Most Rev. HumberlO S. ,Medeiros, left, Bishop of Brownsville in Texas and newly-appointed Archbishop-elect of Boston, is shown recently with Rev. Msgr. Augusto L. Furtado, pastor emeritus of St. John of God Parish, Somerset, who knew the Archbishop as a youth and helped guide him to the priesthood.

Friend Indeed Msgr. Furtado Recognized Vocation While Archbishop Only a Youth As he is first to acknowledge, many people helped Archbishop Medeiros to the priesthood. Preeminent among them is Msgr. Augusto L. Furtado, for 40 years pastor of St., John of God Church, Somerset, and now pastor emeritus of the parish. "WI am a priest today, lowe it to that grey-haired old man," said the new Archbishop in 1966, at the banquet following his consecration as Bishop. He indicated Msgr. Furtado as he spoke. As the 77 year old prelate tells the story, in 1932 he was making a visit to St. Michael's Church, Fall River, where .he had for many years been a curate. He observed young Humberto Medeiros, then 16, deeply in prayer. He spoke to the youth and learned that his greatest desire was to become a priest. Remain Close Learning further that Humberto had had no American high school education, he enrolled him at Fall River's B.M.C. Durfee High School, where the future Bishop did two year's work in one, polished his Engish, graduated at the head of his class, and

to top it off won a state-wide drama contest. Ties have remained close between the new Archbishop and Msgr. Furtado. On Archbishop Medeiros' last visit to the Fall River Diocese, some three weeks ago, Msgr. Furtado saw him at St. Michael's rectory, where the Archbishop was staying. "Of course he said nothing about his forthcoming appointment, said the peppery Monsignor. "He would be excommunicated if he did." Msgr. Furtado was equally peppery when asked about the possibility of his friend of 38 years becoming Pope one day. Many people are saying it might happen, he was told. "Foolishness!" he snorted. "Am I a Cardinal, to say who should be Pope?" His health permitting, he will be in Boston Oct. 7 for Archbishop Medeiros' installation. And of all the thousands who will throng Holy Cross Cathedral for the solemn ceremony, none w.ill have more memories to look back upon than Msgr. Furtado.

Urges Change In Draft Law, JACKSON (NC)-Bishop Juseph B. Brunini of Natchez-Jackson has joined a number of other church leaders in this country urging a change in the draft laws so the individual conscience of a young. man culled up for induction will be respected. The bishop has contacted President Nixon and membeI:!)- of the Mississippi delegation in the U.S. Congress in urging the change, it was disclosed here. Bishop Brunini underscored a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Alfonso J. Zirpoli in San Francisco, in dismissing an indictment against James F. Fadden on a charge of failing to report for induction. Fadden, a Catholic, claimed his right in conscience to object to serving in the Vietnam conflict on his religious belief that it is not a "just war." Bishop Brunini pointed out that members of some religious denominations are exempted from combat military service on grounds of conscience' objections and added the same status "should be accorded to any man whose conscience imposes upon him the duty to refrain from participating in a particular war."

From the beginning in 1887 to the present the core staff at St. Vincent's has consisted in religious of the Sisters of Mercy. This body. of women has a long history in caring for children of this type and will continue to serve at the new facility. For those cottages that will not have Sisters, there will be a lay $taff, either male or female, perhaps even in some instances married couples, attending to the children and their needs. The new facility will stand as a lasting memorial to the generosity of the people residing in the area encompassed by the diocese of Fall River. It will continue to bear the name of St. Vincent's, carrying along its long and glorious history. Many there are who look back now to

St. Vincent's as their home or as a haven at some crisis in their lives. The new facility will stand similarly as a beacon in their lives and for many children yet路 unborn. For the latter it will provide an. important juncture in their development, enabling them to reach adult maturity in better spiritual, physical and emotional health. The new St. Vincent's - will stand as a lasting memorial most of all to the present ordinary of this diocese, who has done so much for the needs of ,so many people of all ages. For generations to come, this should' be the symbol of a man who was a loving shepherd of his flock.

The Vatican paper's comment on the hiiacking appeared as Arab guerrillas seized a fourth plane in less than a week. They forced a British Overseas Airways Corporation jet with 113 persons aboard to land at the guerrilla airstrip in the Jordanian desert where two other planes and 197 'persons were being held hostage. The leftist Arab guerrilla group. called the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, whose members have hijacked the planes, was demanding the release of guerrillas held in Britain, Switzerland and West Germany as well as Arabs held by Israel. The Front had originally threatened to blow up the first two aircraft at the desert airstrip if the seven guerrillas held by the European countries were not released.

Others have 'said it,. of course, but one more ~ voice has been added pointing out that the nation and, indeed, the world, is in the throes of a transition from one ~ge to another.

7 l' '.'

l __ ,~'!" "\ r jt:>: ;', J -_ _

Dr. Zbigniew Brzaezinski, founder and director Of the Research Institute on Communist Affairs at Columbia University and a man highly-esteemed as a thinker and ~riter, has indicated that just as the world passed from atl agragrian age to industrialism ·with all its accompanying pain and pressure and bewilderment, so the world now is pa,ssing from this industrial age to a new age-one that he: calls the age of "technetronics," the ag~ of technology and, electronics. It is a post~industrial age. And America is the~first nation to J>e going through it and so is "history's guinea pig." The transition has caused many people, intellectuals among them, to become pessimistic, 'to speak of the country's imminent doom, to indulge in all sorts of self~flag ellation. This kind of talk is almost fashionable today. But a better use of time and energy is to try to understand what is happening. The writer beli~ves that until now man has been almost constantly engaged in a struggle with nature. He thinks that now man has won the struggle and pollution is part of the carnage of his victory. Now that technology and electronics hold out: the promise of relieving men of "the plow and the sweatsl1op" the problem remains of contemplating the universal questions-"To what end? What purpose should society ser"ewhat am I, who am I, wha,t am I 'for?" , • I

Cardinal John Wright said much the same thing a short while ago when he pointed' out that while once' the 'matter was one of "know why" now it had' become :one of "know how." And now man, is again forced to go back to the probJein of "know why"-:to strive to understand what' his "kqow how" is to be used for. .The late Thomas Murray of the Atomic Energy Cqmmission said it all almost a generation ago when he ¢xplained-"Our only fear-and .our great responsibility....L...is not what we do with things but what we do with ourI selves." I It is no wond~r that' the world, standing on the thr~s hold -of a new age, shoilld, be bewildered. It is no wonder that the transition of culture should have an impact ~on every facet of life, should make men call into questipn every aspect of that life, should make even men of religion want to re-examine their most basic beliefs. In this area some will come up with the wrong answers. So it rema~ns for those of deep' faith, and conviction' in ' God, and the things of God to show how the basic beliefs of Jes.us Christ are valid and applicable even in, the midst o( a changing world. i

No matter what the age, the problems, the chang'es of the, age, man must he, and is, able to' know the way to God. ' , .'J

B'ishop 'Cont',asts, Continued from Page One and a tremendous opportunity," Bishop Medeiros told NC News when contrasts between the two dioceSeS were cited. '''There's no point in being aft'aid. Fear is not a good motive to do anything. We do things out of love and faith." Bishop Med€:iros said he visited Boston frequently, and knew . some priests in the seminaries there. "But to say that I actually know Bostun wouldn't be quite tme," he said, Despite the marked differences between his new See and past positions, Bishop Medeiros notes that in some respects a bishop's role ,remains the same no matter where he, serves. According to guidelines described by Vatican II, lut said, a bishop must first be a "herald' of the Gospel." . "To preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Bishop Medeiros said, ';this is what a bishop must do first. Then he must sanctify those who gather together, guide them, and govern them with sacred authority in charity." During interviews on his Boston appointment, newsmen had characterized Brownsville as "a small Boston," regarding poverty problems, Bishop Medeiros said, though he noted that characteristics .differ' because one art~a is rural, the other urban. Helping the poor is "part of the Gospel the bishop preaches," Bishop Medeiros said, but he pointed out it was a task which , "flows out of the mission of any Christian." "The worst evil is spiritual poverty," the bishop said, "when people are not ',c1os~ to God." Asked if he was surprised when Pope Paul appointed him . to the Boston See, Bishop Medei~ ros said he was "shocked" when he was first told the Pope's wishes. Bu~ he said he was informed "several weeks" prior to the official announcement that he would .replace retiring Cardinal Richard CUShing, 75,' so the announcement itself "was no surprise to me."

Membership in Blue Army Increasing BASLE (NC)-The Blue Army, a worldwide prayer movement for peace, has grown to a membership of approximately 20 million, according to an estimate released by the organization's international secretariat here in Switzerland. The membership figures were based on the report of a study made to determine "as accurately and honestly as possible" the curl'ent number of· persons who have enrolled in the Blue Army 'since it begari in St. Mary's parish, Plainfield, N.

Wdstnan, unanimously eleetf'd at the group's 73rt! annual convention here, asked fellow Zionists to intensify their support of Israel's de'!'and for removal uf the sites. He also asked them to press for Amt:rican shipment of planes and arms to Israd to equalize what he said was an imbalance uf military power in the Middle East. Convention delegates responded by adopting a resolution to that effect. Regarding ISJ'ad's recent withdrawal frum peace talks with Arab nation,; at the United Natiuns hert:, Weisman said: "Only the strong influence of President Nixon can effel:! the removal of roadblocks tu peace negotiations which have been paralayzed by the pernicious and flagrant scrapping of the basic terms of the ceasefire."

points of this lib bit that I do agree with (such as job discrimination) I certainly do feel that women want to look their very best at all times for their own self esteem, not because of what some man is telling us, and if it takes cosmetics to make us look and feel our very best then so be it. A good example of this is all the new bath products that are appearing on the market. Cer· tainly one can get clean in the tub without this lotion and that skin softener or fragrance but somehow the additives to the bath give one a more enjoyable tubbing. This of course is a personal preference. but I really don't think enjoying a' bub1?le bath should in any way be an affront to women's lib. Natural Look Skin care is another area that is fast becoming a necessity and not a luxury. With all the pollution in our air woman are becoming more and more aware of how important it is to care for your skin and to care for it properly-after all it's really the only skin we have and it's going to have to last for a long time. No more do women hide their skin under layer upon layer of make-up as they did in the forties and fifties and expect all that gook to hide a bad skin problem. With the advent of the sixties came the vogue of the natural look and skin -care has become the "in" thing.

"Today the fam· i1y is still the heart and focus of the movement," she added. This year the CFM study theme is "The Family in a Time of Revolution." CFM is exploring . the situation of adult Catholics who fit the category of "people born too late to live the life for which they were conditioned, and too early to live the life they envision," she noted. The new CFM program book deals with the family's relationship to the '''tumultuous world" it finds itself in. It asks family members to observe the conditions that are causing the revolutions on all sides, to judge for themselves the Christian response to them, and to act according to their conclusions. Topics to explore with honesty, the program states, will include "the racism of institutions"; the changing mores of sexuality, and fidelity in mar· riage; conscience vs. authority, the aged as "victims" and the morality of revolutions.

Urges t<lew Law On India Colleges TIUVANDRllM (NC) 'A Catholic archbishop here in India urged that a new law be enacted to protect the intt'rests of private' colleges and their sponsors, t~achers. and stlh.iE'nts and parents. Archbishop Gregol'ius B. Varghese Thangalathi of the Syl'OMalankara rite archdiocese of Trivandrum !>aid such a law shoUld replace the communistoriented University Act dpclared unconstitutional by the Indian Supreme Court. The invalidated act sought t.o reduce the 11 0 private colleges in Kerala state, 46 of them Catholic-sponsored, into virtual government departments by depriving them of freedom to appoint their own staffs and by imposing a state-appointed managing board. The act also provided for temporary take-over by the state university of private colleges regarded by the government as poorly administered. The Supreme Court'upheld the Church's argument that the act was inconsistent with the constitutional right to private property and the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. Archbishop Thangalathil said that, although the provisions of the old University Act have been invalidated, college sponsors can be subjected to legal restraints.

What started as a theory a few years back in religious circles has become a success story today. Religious educators were saying a few years ago that adult education needed to be developed in the Church in order for Catholics to assume more responsibility for their children and for their world. Today those calls for new efforts and new priorities have been heeded, so that in 1970 adult education has sprung up in perhaps "as many as 10,000 parishes across the United States. .College and university offerings 'in adult education, development of adult education in a 'variety of medill, and new allocations of resources for adult education at the national, regional, dliocesan, and local levels have all expanded. At a time when every available resource is being committed to keeping schools open, adult education is being viewed, on the whole, as a complementing or continuation of what the schools are doing-not as a replacement or alternative. Dual Use of School To illustrate how the two idells, schools and adult education, go together, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the Division of Adult Education, USCC, will sponsor this year a national pilot program with a number of schools around the nation to demonstrate how a school can be used as a community learning center after hours and during vacation times for adult education, teacher in-service training, and a variety of other services like counseling, marriage preparation, and child-care courses. Most of the parish-level programs started this year and during the past several years have begun as religious education. In the diocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, for example, about 100 parishes now have instruction and learning opportunities for parents who wish to prepare their own children for reception. of the sacraments. "Project Understanding" The diocese of Detroit had all its parishes involved in speak-up sessions for its Synod two years ago and now in follow-up programs. These early efforts have quickly developed into a much broader and more varied pattern of endeavors which are still related to adult Christian identity and mission but which are 'not specifically religious education ~, Detroit, for example; has spent great amounts of effort and resources in the development of "Project Understanding," a traveling once-a-week-for-many-. weeks look at racism in the white suburbs.

New Jersey Farm' Workers ·Overlooked Priest Se'es Church Partly to Blame CAMDEN (NC) - Publicity generated by the conflict between California's table grape growers and field workers trying to unionize took the spotlight off similar migrant worker problems here in New Jersey. But observers report that Iiving and working conditions among the 9,000 migrant workers, many Of them' Puerto Ricans who speak no English, who come to more than 700 farms across the state mirror conditions found in more highly publicized areas. In late August, spokesmen for three organizations invokred with migrant workers' problems called on Gov. William T. Cahill to end the state's apathy to what the 'three called "the miserable destiny" of the farm laborers. At the same time, Max B. Rothman, director of the farm -workers' division of Camden's regional legal services, announced publication of a bill of rights for the state's regional farm workers. The bill of rights outlined terms to improve living and working conditions and to protect laborers from arbitrary arrest and illegal jailings. . Laborers as well as social workers and legal advisers have been arrested on various charges in what Rothman called an attempt by farm owners to head

off possible unionization. Part of the blame for the situation facing New Jersey's migrant workers should fall squarelyon the shoulders of the Catholic Church, according to a Franciscan priest. Father Finian Riley, O.F.M., pastor of migrants' in Gloucester and Camden counties, discussed the problems facing the migrants with Ne News.

Says Upper Classes Support Violence AVELLANEDA (NC)-Violence as a means to achieve social change is favored by the upper classes, not the working class, Bishop Antonio Quarracino of Avellaneda .told a meeting here in Argentina. "In our country violence does not represent a solution and the working class, does not want it," the 47-year-old bishop said. "On the contrary, it appears that violence here is fomented by the upper middle and even the upper class."

city. The lot costs were 'cheap but thousands of poor families now live on these lots and find themselves without water, electricity, public transportation or other ordinary services. The question was: What can be done to help these underdeveloped communities? A few days after the letter was re.ceived a group of clergy and laymen met to ponder how money could be raised to provide a fresh water supply for these settlements. The proposal to· go beyond the symptom, in this case "waterlessness;" to affect the cause of the settlers plight, "powerlessness," was not well received by the majority of these concerned discussants. Takes Time Here was another case in which well motivated people try to respond to complicated human needs in a simple programatic . way. They have not come to grips with what Jay Forrester has termed the' "counter intuitive" nature of social problems. Relieved of sociological jargon, what Forrester means is that because social problems arise out of complex causes, simple, straight-forward solutions to those problems just don't work most of the time. The experienced community org~nizer, on the other hand, is a student of the ·American system of politics and how it works. Invited by people with community problems, such as outlined above, he comes to live in their community for a time to try to understand the geographical area, their state of organization and what resources are available to them to bring about the social changes they'deem necessary. . The good organizer tries to , help people to help themselvesto turn a hopeless plight into a problem with the possibility of solution. . . The process of orgallIzlllg a community to solve its problem may take several years. Short or .long, it will be hard work. But' it is as American as the "stars and stripes." Pfople learn in action, not in civics classes, how decisions are made and how things get done within the dem-

To obtain some of th~ir objectives they :may have to "borrow" power from atljoining communities in return .for certain corripromises! and concessions to those groups whose support they need.

Com m u nit y organization around basic human issues is: the beginning of political process and the building of another crmmunity of individuals to fake part in the democratic proc:ess.

Money Hong-Up .. :i ,

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING OF ARCHBISHOP MEDEIROS: The former chancellor of the F'all River' Diocese will conduct his administrative affairs in the eight year old Chancery Office Building located at 2121 Commonwealth Ave., Brighton.

In my vavels a" Natiunal f)jreclur of til.. Propagation of the Faith I am uften confronted with, what I call, the "Money Hang-Up." People do not seem to realize that there are many other ways-just as needed and important, if not more so-to help the missions besides money. Perhaps the greatest contrlbutioll to the Church's missionary life is the flesh and blood of our sons and daughters. And believe me, the zeal and dedication of today's missionaries and future missionaries are certainly evidence of the SpirIt alive and active in the Church today. I wish I could broadclilst on national television the personal interviews with United States missionaries home to visit. Their energy Is inexhausUble, and their greatest enthusiasm is to get back to their mission!

Hard Times for Religious Bookshops F'alling Sales Hit New Zealand Churches DUNEDIN (NC-Amalgamate, diversify or go out of existence -that seems to be the dilemma facing bookshops operated by the major churches in New Zealand. Catholic, Anglican, Methodist,

Presbyterian and Baptist bookshops have all been hit by falling sales, and there is a growing feeling among them that the answer to their problems may be to have single, large inter-church stores in the major cities.

Sisters S'eeking New Life-Style Form' Community in California SAN DIEGO (NC) - Fourteen Dominican Sisters seeking a more nwderR approaeh .t,o Re." Iigious life have left their former congregation and established a new community here. Calling themselves Community of the Holy Spirit, the 14 women are under the jurisdiction of Bishop Leo T. Maher of San Diego. They will serve as teachers, counselors and social workers within the diocese "striving to bring about an adoption of Religious life that will meet the times," Bishop Maher said. "Each Sister takes responsibility for her own life insofar as it does not interfere with community life," said Sister Mary Prose, elected coordinator of the group. "Community life is our biggest thrust." . She said the 14 women had all asked themselves, "What is it. that we can do best and that we would most like to do for the people of God?" One nun, a former English teacher; decided to accept a post on The Southern Cross, San Diego diocesan paper.. "We don't assign someone to third grade because there is a slot open," Sister Mary said. Members of the Holy' Spirit Community will live at three different'locations: apartments adjacent to a diocesan high school where some of them will teach; a convent near a parochial grade school they staff, and a large community center in a San Diego suburb. All 14 will gather at the community home twice weekly-once for a business m.eeting and once to have "a fun evening together," Sister Mary said. Failed to Modernize The new community broke away from the Mission San Jose Dominican congregation, headquartered near San Francis-

co, after many attempts to get that congregation to modernize, SjsterMary said. The San Jose congregation was "rather institutionally minded," she said, "not exactly in contact with the radical changes going on in the Church and really didn't want to be." The coordinator said members of the new community had tried and failed at two chapter meetings to encourage post-Vatican II renewal. Sister Mary also belonged to a seven-member board formed to consider changes. When proposals came before the board-"on dress, enclosure silence, all the traditional thing~ pertaining to religious life"-· Sister Mary said, "the votes were generally six to one-I was the one." Take Private Vows "We lost between 40 and 50 of our young Sisters in the last two years," Sister Mary said, claiming that the Mission San Jose congregation's. traditional religious life-style did not suit them. The new coordinator is 68, but she said most of the members of the Holy Spirit Community are under 33. Asked to comment on Sister Mary's remarks, Mother Mary Dominic, mother general of the Mission San ·Jose Dominicans told NC News the congregation'-: then holding a chapter meeting -had decided "to remain out of the public forum." . Bishop Maher agreed to sponsor the 14 Dominicans wishing to form the new community, and petitioned Rome last May to receive permission. The Sisters, following procedures suggested by the Congregation of Religious, were formally dispensed from their previous vows and took private vows in Bishop Maher's presence.

Executives of Catholic bookshops in New Zealand said their problems spring. from several factors, of which the most imp"ortant are: Catholics today face a proliferation of books on the faith. This confuses. them and the result is that they are less interseted in buying Catholic books than ever before. Since the Second Vatican' Council sales of traditional items, such as rosaries, prayerbooks, missals, . statues,' and holy pictures have slumped. Most of these were good profit lines, and in the past they helped "subsidize" the book trade. Bookshops of the other Churches tell a similar story. There is a. wealth of material available, but people are not interested in buying it. Some have already diversified and are seiling general books, including fiction. Inter-Church Store . In Dunedin, for instance, the Anglicans have closed their bookshop, and material of interest .to them is now' available through . the Presbyterian or Catholic bookshops. In Auckland, three Anglican bookshops have been merged into one, but it is doing so poorly that its future is uncertain. It is considering a suggestion from the Methodist bookshop, also in trouble, that the two should amalgamate. One manager of a Catholic bookshop said he will like to see one large, inter-Church store emerge. "It's the age of ecumenism and this is what we should be doing," he said. "It would become economically viable if we did get together, .and, after all, we're pushing the same barrow, really."

A short two hundred years ago, the United States itself was a fureign mission; today we can be proud to have over 8500 Americans overseas in missionary service. This always raises the question: shouldn't we be concerned with the problems at home before getting involved with other countries' problems? I think we have to take city, in poor rural America, oppressed. But for the life of responsibilities at home has being "catholic" and cutting world.

Let's face it-there is no other Catholic-community like ours in the United States. Most of us are middle class or upper middle class Americans. We have our domestic difficulties, social unrest, and the rising cost of living to contend with, but in comparison to the real poverty, hunger and underdevelopment of the rest of the world, we are really blessed! This Catholic community in this affluent country just can't get so concerned about these real pressing problems at home to the point of writing off the work of the Church in the rest of the world. Yes, more than money, every Catholic can give the power of his love, prayers, awareness, witness and concern! Hut again, what about the money? On the olle hand I can praise the generosi¢y of our American Catholics: last year the United States Catholics gathered over $17 millions for the missions through the Society foil' the Propagation of the Faith. But 011 tine other hand that averages out to only $.35 a Catholic. And in that catholic-dlmensloIll, the universal Church has some 136,000 missionaries who depend on the Propagation of the Faith's yearly support. The money hang-up? Let's remember this: if a person is working, the best thing his employer can give him is a paycheck. 1n fact, there is no adequate substitute. If there are missionaries in the Congo, Brazil, or Viet Nam, the best way we have, in our affluency, of getting something to their material needs is this commonplace way of financial contributions. If the really catholic-minded Christians in;' the U.S. could" show others that the Church and its world mission is worthwhile, if we can love It, pray for it, contribute our flesh and blood; then the money hanp-up wound not be a hang-up at all, but a truly genuine expression of a truly cathollc-Christilm commitment to today's world. .

By PATRICIA McGOWAN What may be a nationwide first for the Boy Scouts of America has been initiated by the Greater Fall River Catholic Committee for Scouting, headed by Atty. Harold K. Hudner. Hudner has sparked a drug education program which, under sponsorship of the Massasoit Scout Council, is distributing thousands of copies of a child-aimed _booklet explaining in word. and picture the lise and abuse of drugs. ' The national Boy Scout organization, said Hudner, has under study a drug education program, but it has not as yet been implemented. He felt the local drug problem was serious enough to warrant action in advance' of the national program, therefore he moved ahead on the booklet distribution project. Edward Ward, president of -the Massasoit Council of Boy Scouts told The Anchor reporter that "all credit for the program must go to Mr. Hudner for he singlehandedly convinced the member of the council of the necessity of such a program." School Program While studying approaches to the drug education problem, Boy Scout officials also investigated the possibility of giving a course developed by Dr. David Lewis of Beth Israel Hospital, Boston,

Tiverton with the suggestiun ··that it be used as part of the curriculum. The suggestion has been adopted, and it is also noted that Rev. Patrick J. O'Neill, Diocesan school superintendent, is considering recommending the course to par9chial schools. Hudner's,. belief that Scouting must be relevant to current problems, he said, led tu his concern with drug education. "If a nl:ltionwkle program for growing buys is to be relevant," he noted, "it must offer a sane and Sellsible course of education in the fidd of drugs, and supplement it with a prOgram which offers activities which will make his adult happiness a great deal more certain than the use of drugs, whose use might well destroy his sense of judgement and initiative, perhaps forever." Free to All

EDWARD WARD based on the physician's experiences with over 3,000 young drug addicts, and presently in use in Boston junior high schools. It was decided that the course was in too great depth for use with' younger Scouts, but so impressed with it were Scouters that they approached public school superintendents in Fall River, Swansea, Somerset and

Cuban Refugees Adapt Well to Life in U.S.

MIAMI BEACH (NC)-A new natinowide survey of sOme 400,000 Cuban refugees to the United States, 'indicates they have adapted well to life in this country. The survey points out that the Cubans' have a low incidence of dependency, crime, hospitalization and mental illness. The findings were released by Dr. Lourdes Gasal at a sy'mposium on "New Faces in American Cities: The Cuban Exiles," during the annual meeting of the American' Psychological Association here. Dr. Casal, from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, reported that a survey taken in various cities and at various social and economic levels revealed that: Cuban youths, although they' tend to prefer Cuban friends because <:if the ·same language and customs, are "proud" to have American friends. Cuban exiles are satisfied with their reception in the U, S. in all area's surveyed. Assimilation is more rapid in larger families and the levels of occupation, education and degree of returns are higher here _than in Cuba. Assimilation was found best in cities which do not have large colonies of Guban families. "Cubans' adustment to the U. S. has been very good," Dr. Casal said. "integrat~on into U. S. society seems slower in cities where sizeable Cuban communities exist, although this inay their support known for this truly peaceful approach? Will Christian citizens take the trouble to voice their approval.

be a function of selective resettlement patterns." He added that . "relations of ,Cubans with other ethnic groups have been overtly peaceful; however, there are indications of intergroup tension and prejudice." According to Dr. Casal the survey showed in the West New York area that black Cubans seem to be assimilating more slowly tha'n white and confine their primary gro'up contacts to the Cuban community :Where they are accepted as Cubans; reo gardless of color. Reportedly, more than twothirds of the Cubans in that area 'believe that "blacks ha.ve done fairly well in this country and should not complain," and almost half said that they do not believe blacks should be treated the same way as whites. The West New York study il'ldicates that "while 64 per cent recognize intellectually that the prejudice of the white popula·tion is the biggest problem of blacks, at mote concrete level, they believe (85 per cent) that blacks working hard, would attain all the gains and advances that others have."

The I5-page booklet, "Drugs and You," is available to Scout troops and any other interested individuals free of charge-at Boy Scout headquarters, the United Fund Building, 101 Rock Street, Fall River.• Us perusal, note officials, will take only a few minutes of a troop meeting, and they add that one of its features is the fal;t that it offers youngsters arguments to use against misguided friends who may try to involve them in drugs by use of such appeals as "All the· gang' is smoking pot"~how about you?" or "So maybe the world isn't all it should be-here's a way out of it alL" Chaplaillfor the Ca,tholic Committee for Scouting is Rev.

Detroit Catholic Schools Down.30 DETROIT (NC)-There were 14 fewer high schools and 16 fewer grade schools when the Detroit archdiocesan school system opened the 1970-71 school year. Father John B. Zwers, director of the education departm~nt's schools office, !iaid there now are 228 elementary and 70 high high schools. He said teaching nuns and Brothers decreased from 2,697 to 2,300, but lay teachers increased Jrom 2,772 to approximately 3,000. There also are 680 part-time teachers. High school enrollment is expected to remain around the usual 36,800 students; but a 5,000 decrease to 110,000 students is expected in the grade schools. Father Zwers said final. statistics are not expected until late September,

Methodists Deplore Ithodesian Action GENEVA (NC)-The 70-membel' executive committee of the World Methodist Council has 'voiced its "profound dismay" at the "unwarranted interference" of the Rhodesian government in banning United Methodist Bish· 01' Abel T. Muzorewa from visits to most of his churches. Representing 33 Methodist bodies in 87 countries, members of the executive committee said: "This committee views this action as an example of restriction of religious liberty and an unwarranted interference in the· God-given task of a minister of religion to exercise, his proper ministry to the people committed to his charge," The action barring Bishop Muzorewa from black African areas in Rhodesia was taken by the Ian Smith government, apparently in retaliation against the church's vigorous opposition to the Rhodesian Land Tenure Act.

During these lab tours, the Navy nun, believed to be the first employee as such of a Naval activity, has received a healthy, contagious sense of humor. Naturally, this has inspired a certain amount of bantel' and spme memorable quips. When engineer Matthew O'Malley first viewed the nun approaching his area, he was heard to jest, "The day of retribution is at hand.

old school chums, parents of present and former students, old neighbors -.even an old high school classmate on whom she had a "crush", That Sister is an extrovert who likes p~ople and attracts them is reflected in an incident which touched her deeply. During a desk sighting, she was presented with a large longstemmed rose by mechanical engineer Ronald K~ayashi. Conscientious Worker Her supervisor, Mrs. Wylma Denson, says that "Sister is a terrific, conscientious worker who gets along so well. She's on the good side of everybody. She cooperates with everyone, and everyone with her." Soon after taking over her job located in a warm area, engineers across the hall engaged in undersea weapons development thoughtfully invited Sister Eugenia to move into their air conditioned quarters, then set up a desk and cabinet for her. She reciprocated by helping one of the engineers improve his writing ability during the lunch period. Two of her brothers, E. Raymond and Daniel F. Ready, are career employes of the lab. When this fact was revealed, someone was prompted to ask the nun if the whole family was now taking over. One of seven children, Sister has long known what work is. For years, she delivered newspapers for the Fall River Herald News, and while in high school, worked as a waitress and as an ice cream stand attendant. Long Day Sister Eugenia starts her day at 5:30 in her small third·f1oor room in the c~nvent located in Fall River at Sacred Hearts Academy. After making breakfast and pinning on the required ID security badge, she is picked up by her car pool at about

6:45 and arrives al. NUSC within 30 minutes. Returning to the convt:nt just before 5, she hustles ovt:r to nearby Holy Name Church and daily Mass. "Actually', it's turned my whole day around," sighs Sistt:r, who now works a full eight-hour day at the lab, com· pared with a five-hour day in school. The car pool has provided the nun ~ith otlll~r fringe benefits. While riding to work, she says her daily office and meditates against the blaring squeals of rock 'n roll music emanating from the car radio, On the way back, Sister tries to pray and meditate against the same noisy background, In resigning her fate to this situation, the nun says, "I get a big overdose of rock 'n roll songs I don't like, but I sure know all the words of."

When a well-intentioned em· ployee was discussing recently the track record of Sister's car pool driver, a mathematician piped up, "Oh, they needn't worry-she's on His side."

Adult Education Holds Priority Continued from Page Eleven ral deprivation that go with racism. Many dioceses have developed adult educ~tion programs in liturgy, a development spurred by the issuing of revised rites this year and accompanied by mas; sive priest education. Regional Centers .The notion of regional centers within dioceses has also caught on big. In the Fall River diocese in Massachusetts, for example, the.Mark IV Media Center has • ~- been established to provide on a small rental basis movies, filmstrips, slides and tapes for all the parishes around. It also serves as a clearing house for tracing, evaluating, and ordering materials. The LaSalle Center in Philadelphia operates in much the same fashion, with an additional specialization on posters. The Adult Theology Center in Galveston-Houston adds yet another dimension, by programming into TV an adult education series along with special programs. It also sponsors the' Paulistproduced half hour dramatic film series on commercial stations, and furnishes teams of Sunday morning preachers who return in the evening to conduct follow-up sessions in the individual parishes. The Institute of Social Education in Cleveland, Ohio, offers a whole range of short courses in addition to sponsoring a speaker's bureau. It pioneered labor management education and also offered a program of education in the understanding of Vatican Council documents to the eight-county area of that

diocese. Another center, in New York, has developed into what is now known as Full Circle. Associates, a network of people of every race, class, creed and generation committed to the belief that-in the current crisis of violence and division-it is men who can make the difference. One of their outstanding achievements has been breakthrough experiments with the creative arts, such as drama and film making, as a way of gaining perspective into' urban-suburban realities. Religious education was the starting point for adult education in the Church, but there has been adult education for literacy, for the arts, for marriage, for civics, for cultural and selfenrichment purposes offered by other groups and by the universities and colleges for a long time. Broaden Educational Horizo.'.'s What the Church's efforts toward adult education add is the new element of urbansuburban - rural - ecological environmental - media - politicaleconomic - ethnic. - parental religious education, and it adds up to enlarging horizons of endeavor for the adult education director at the parish or diocesan level. It means that family life, liturgy, international education, human relations, sex education, parish council education, and general religious education have enough in . common to begin blending into more unified and more enduring programs, which is exactly the trend now developing. The Church's involvement in

adult education also means an outpouring of imaginative, rewarding, creative, and meaningful new efforts. The marriage center in California is one such example: lay people take care of the paper work while the priest gives marriage preparation. Then the whole staff gives marriage and family counseling after the couple are married. This center has developed a retrieval system for finding missing witnesses in marriage cases, applying modern retrieval ~eth ods to speed up the process of getting decisions in marriage cases brought before the Church courts. Individualized Efforts "Across the land, coffee klatches, mixed media presentations, social programs, leadership tr~ining, parental education, and a whole host of other unique or at leas,t individualized efforts are springing up, designed to offer adults a chance to learn more of their Christian identity, mission, and heritage as they stare at the promising 70's and beyond. " Some common principles of development characterize the successful adult education programs, and some "truisms" seem to· tie developing, such as the following: I. Adult education programs ought to be geared to particular people and needs, which will vary from' place to place. 2. The commitment to adult education ought to be long-term but anyone course or program ought to be very short, and ought to have plenty of flexibility and variety. 3. Not everybody will be
