• New Role Happy Missionary Nurse In

Nun to Serve African Lepers

By Patricia McGowan , "We 'dance and sing before the Blessed Sacrament." "Goqd!" said Bishop Fulton J. Sheen heartily.

"Come and tell everyone about it." :And he led tiny Sister Helen Wil.. liam before the entire staff of his Propagation of the Faith office in New York City to exptain her unique voeation,which has called her from the active life of a relig­ ious of the Holy Union of the Sacred Hearts to the hidden way of a cloistered Poor Clare nun.

Not only is Sister H~len Wil­ liam's action in changing from one

community to another rare in the extreme, but the particular Poor Clare Monastery she is joining is the only one of its kind in the world.

Located in Sangmelima, Camer­ oun, West Central Africa, the Mon­ 'astery of St. Damien is the first contemplative women's community in Africa, intermingling the Poor Clares' spirit and rule with the preservation of African customs and primitive poverty. Sister Helen William, daughter. of Mr. and Mrs. William Cullen, St. Mary's parish in

Mansfield, was until six months ago a nur!'le at a Holy Union mis­ sion in Dschang, Cameroun. Pre­ vious to entering religion she had been an operating room nurse at Union Hospital, Fal River.

But the call to contemplative life persisted through her busy days at Dschang, where for 10 years she labored for nearly 200 African infants, mainly orphans, and also assisted in operation of a dispensary and girls' school

staffed by the Holy Union Sisters.

At last, six months ago, she answered the call, and is now on a combined home visit and fundra-is. ing tour for her monastery before entering upon her canonical year as a Poor Clare novice.

Sister Helen William will not remain at St. Damien's, however.

She explains that Mother Marie de Jesus, foundress of' the com­ munity, plans to establish a new Turn to Page Eleven

who was associated with him in the Curia when Msgr. Ward was Diocesan Chancellor, as a priest whose love of God and people was evident to all those to whom he ministered. The sick found in Msgr. Ward a kindness that is still remembered in the parishes where he served even after the passage of almost half a century.

Msgr. Ward's genuine love for people sprang from his love of God and child-like trust in God in Whose service he spent him­ self. He willingly accepted the sacrifices he was called upon to make knowing that this was God's Will for him and a source of grace for himself and people.

Use of English in Sacraments Draws Favorable Reaction :BATON ROUGE (NC)-Re­ _aetion to use of English in ad­ ministration of the sacraments and sacramentals has been pre­ dominantly favorable, a check. up throughout the Baton Rouge diocese has disclosed.

Although the use of English in web rites went into eHect gen­ erally throughout the U. S. only on sept. 14, the practice was started in this diocese on July 13 through permission of Bishop Robert E. Tracy.

A number reported that the new practice has made a great impression upon non-Catholics, now able to understand more of the Catholic ceremonies.

WillIiam O'Leary, a real estate dealer, said the group, "Catho­ lics Yes on Proposition 14," was formed at a meeting in Los Altos.

He said it stemmed from "mass indignation" over the Church "becoming politically active in the anti-proposition 14 battie."

On the November ballot in California, Proposition 14 pro­ poses an amendment to the state constitution which would kill the state's fair housing law and ban adoption of such laws in the future.

The amendment, backed by the California Real Estate '.Ass0­ ciation, has been opposed by Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken of San Francisco and the cam­ paign to defeat it is being as­ sisted by the Archdiocesan S0­ cial Justice Commission.

Father Eugene Boyle, chair­ man of the social justice com­ mission, said that "the commu­ nity will recognize that the 'yes on 14' 'committee is a small, self-appointed group holding views remote from the main­ stream of Catholic opinion OIl civil rights."

Rights Ordinance

"I am uneasy when I am saying Mass away from Africa, because I think how many there are not hearing it at all because I am not there to say it." Thus Rev. Vincent Farrell of the Mill HilI Fathers, since 1930 a missionary to East Africa, expressed the "conscious discontent" of a shepherd away from his flock. Father Farrell, in the Fall River Diocese under the Missionary Coop­

erative Plan, spoke at the

DETROIT (NC)-The Detroit· Conference on Religion and Race has attacked a so-called Homeowners Rights Ordinance' appearing on the primary ballot here as "essentially * * * immor- .

a1."

The conference, made up' of Catholic, Protestant and Jewish representatives, said the pro­ posed ordinance was an "affront to the voter of conscience" be­ cause it "veils an attack on the fundamental human right to equal treatment."

The measure would give a property owner the right to re­ ject any prospective buyer or tenant "for his own reasons."

Last month the Detroit arch­ diocese announced a parish-level educational program aimed at rallying opposition to the ordi­ nance. Other church and civic groups as well as many individ­ ual spokesmen attacked the measure.

Father James Sheehan, chair­ man of the Conference on Reli­ gion and Race, said that while the ordinance "pretends to pro­ tect some, it actually is intend­ ed to deprive many." He called it an "attempt to legalize dis­ crimination."

The donations will buy Father John L. O'Reilly a jeep and help get his new parish started.

He is going Oct. 1 to the EI Jalapa, Guatemala, diocese where 400,000 nominally Catholic peo­ ple are cared for by 20 priests.

Bishop Joseph H. Hodges of Wheeling has appealed to the diocese's 102,000 Catholics to help support Father O'Reilly in his work for God.

Bishop Solves Nuns' Re~;dence Problem FAIRFIELD (NC)-In a polite sort of way 13 nuns "evicted" Bishop Walter W. Curtis of Bridgeport from his residence here and moved in themselves.

The 13 School Sisters of Notre Dame teach at St. Joseph's High School in nearby TrumbulL When the school term opened, _the nuns' convent here was nearly but not quite finished.

The situation raised a bit of a problem which Bishop Curtis solved readily.

The bishop moved out of his residence, turning it over to the nuns, and moved into the rec­ tory at St. Mary;s parish m.

Bridgeport. The bishop told t!be nuns not to be in too much of a hurry moving out because he was about to leave for the third session of the Second Vatican , Counci:l anyway.

through both prayer and actiM for a 'bond of union' between all people of God. As we work for such a union we must seek the truth in an atmosphere of love and trust."

Msgr. Frederick J. Stevenson, national director of the CYa, said all programs for the youth week observance would be built around the theme, "which is a reminder that in this ecumenical age, all Christians regardless of age must work for that unity so earnestly desired by Christ.

Striving for this unity, young Catholics must be guided by a profound l~ve for the truth to­ gether with a deep and universal love :for our non-Catholic breth­ ren."

Lauds Catholic Grade School Slow-Down WASHINGTON (NC) ­ The slow-down in Catholic elementary s c h 0 0 I enroIl­ mentexpansion is due chiefly to smaller classes - and this is good, a top educator said here.

"Agreements to hold down etass-size, say to 50 pupils or less, will s t r eng the n our schools," said Sister Mary Nora, a School Sister of Notre Dame, associate secretary in charge of the Elementary School Depart­ ment of the National Catholic Educational Association which has headquarters here.

Sister Mary Nora also com­ mented on recent criticism of Catholic education, saying. iJt is part of the "climate of unrest" wit h established procedures within the Church, but that it also reflects the maturity and prominence of Catholic educa­ tiiJn. Expert Criticism "We are reaching maturity," she said. "We must expect to get criticism, accept it, look for the grain of truth in it and grow even more."

The elementary school depart­ ment of the association voted last April at the NCEA's conven­ tion in Atlantic City, N. J., to support publication of a book defending the validity of paro­ chial schools in today's society.

Asked about the status of that proposal, Sister Mary Nora said final decisions on the project are expected at a meeting of the committee scheduled in Chicago in early October.

Foresees Improvement Her comments on class size came shortly after issuance of statistics confirming that Cath­ olic elementary schools, in con­ trast to sharp jumps of three and four per cent annually in the late 19508 and before, have in recent years increased enroll­ ment by only one or two per

cent. ''There are several reasons for this, of course," she said, "but I believe the principal one is the decision being made b,. In­ creasingly numbers of officials to hold down class size."

"Having been a teacher who taught more than 50 children," she added, ''I am convinced such decisions, altlwugh they work hardships on children who can't get into school and pose serious admission problems, will in the long run improve our schools."

Names Commission For Christian Unity CLEVELAND (NC) - Arch­ bishop Edward F. Hoban has established a diocesan commis­ sion to work for Christian unity, and to guide and promote Cath­ olic participation in the ecumen­ ical movement in the ClevelaRd diocese.

The commission 11M eight priests in addition to !2 eonsulting members, Including members of the laity.

In a letter read at Masses in all churches of the diocese, the bishop of Cleveland said he tormed the commission to im­ plement the wish of Pope John XXIII who in convening the second Vatican Council two years ago, directed bishops of the world to do everything possi'ble to advance Christian unity.

Leaves for Mission BRIDGEPORT (NC)-A fourth priest of the diocese of Bridge­ port has left here to join three others now doing missionary work in the diocese of Chiclayo, Peru. Bishop Walter W. Curtis presented a mission cross to Father George F. Baldino, assist­ ant pastor at St. Mar)" ohul'c.Il here.

Holy Family High Student Spends Summer In Mexico Studying Language, Culture 'Twas south of the border that William J. Synnott of Holy Family High School in New Bedford went this Summer. The only student from the East Coast'to participate in an intercultural exchange program largely centering in Michigan, he studied history, culture and language in Mexico City. "1 didn't know definitely that 1 was going until ·five days before leaving," said Bill, still excited over his Latin sojourn. He was a partici­ pant in a student exchange program organized by Rev. Placid Reitmeier, O.S.B. "We studied history and cul­ ture for an hOur each day and the Spanish language for three hours. After classes we taught catechism helped out in a kitch­ en feeding the poor, painted a school and a mental hospital in­ side and out, visited the poor and tried to teach the little kids."

Bill said the poverty in Mexico City was unbelievable. "We went from big city surroundings that looked like any American city to shaeks in fields where people live on eight cents a day."

The Holy Family gtudent lived with Dr. and Mrs. Miguel Le­ brijas while in Mexico City. The family has seven children, he said, of whom several have come as exchange students to the United States.

Contrary tiJ the situation in most of Latin America, Mexico has an overa'bundance of doc­ tors, said Bill, and his host, Dr. Lebrijas, was considering leav­ ing medicine for the life of a businessman. All d<>ctors, noted Bill, give two hours daily to care of the indigent under a social­ zed medicine plan.

Alter Hours Despite study and volunteer work, Bill found time for recre­ ation while in Mexico, attending bullfights and cockfights and taking weekend trips to such famed places as the Pyramids of the Moon and Sun, Teotihuacan and Acapulco. . He also made a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Guad­ . alupe, patroness of the Americas.

"Pilgrims came for miles on their· knees to the shrine," he recounted, saying that the roads were often marked with blood from their lacerated knees.

"I loved Mexico," he said.

"The people are 110 friendly."

They are curious, too, about the United States.

"Taxi drivers and others I would meet would ask questions like 'Do you hate Negroes?' 'Do you fight with Negroes?'" re­ ported Bill.

He said he tried to explain that international understanding is a two-way street, that while Mexicans have some strange ideas about Ame~ns, some Americans, too, have wrong ideM about life south of the bonier.

S.ron~ Family Life Bill was much impressed by Mexican family life, saying that there is much respect for par­ ents and a strong sense of family unity, with teen-agers display­ ing prompt obedience and "no arguments" in response to par­ ental biddings.

"Dating doesn't start until age IT or 18," he said, "and even then dates are chaperoned." He said that Mexican parties are gay affairs. "Everyone has fun

Miami Diocese Seeks ETV WASHINGTON (NC) - '!'he Diocese of Miami has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for permission to utilize a new educational service opened up last year by the FCC. The Miami diocese has re­ quested five separate channels in the 2,500-megacycle instruc­ tional television service to launch a diocesan ETV system reaching more than 32,000 stu­ dents in 52 elementary and 17 high schools.

Miami is the third Catholic Diocese to apply for authority to use the new service. The Brooklyn and Rockville Centre, N. Y., diocese were the first two.

In July the FCC authorized their participation in the service.

The 2,500-megacycle service has been called "on the air, closed circuit" television. It is on the air because it uses the airwaves, and closed circuit be­ cause it can be picked up only by sets using special antenna­ converter apparatus.

Emphasizes Positive Charity Approach

It's a souvenir of Summer spent in Mexico City studying languages, culture. and there are no steady couples -everyone dances." Because the dinner hour is from 8 to 9, par­ ties diJn't begin until 10, he said, and then continue until 3 Or 4 in the morning.

Mexican food quickly "hit the spot" with Bill and he names cajeta as a special favorite. This is a syrup prepared wUh goa,t's milk. Families have rice at every meal, he said.

Bill took many slides while in Mexico and he hopes to lecture on his experiences in the New Beford area. He plans to return to Mexico City next Summer to teach English. His own acquain­ tance with Spanish began at St. Mary's Home in New Bedford.

The hom e bas been host to several Cuban refugee chil­ dren, feom whom Bill picked up basic Spanish. He followed this

Now permanent Holy See ob­ server at the United Nations FiJod and Agriculture Organiza­ tion in Rome, Msgr. Ligutti said: "Charity must be positive and constructive.

Sunday

Sunday is Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Sunday throughout the Diocese. The structure of the Confrater­ nity and its work will be explained in every Church. Men and women will be invited to join the many who are already serving as "other hands" for Christ in the program that aims at building up the Faith and m"aking it better known and loved by every condition of person.

Confraternity members are active in every field of Catholic activity - teaching the young, aiding married couples in the formation of their children, deepening the Faith of adults. And all Confraternity members after giv­ ing only a few hours of time and a little bit of effort real­ ize that what they give is little in comparison with what the work gives to them-the knowledge that they are living out their Christian vocation to be witnesses of Christ and preachers of the mysteries of God. J

Woman Observer Pope Paul has named Miss Marie Louise Monnet of France to be an observer at the Ecumenical Council-the first woman so named in the history of the Church-and is expected to call upon others to serve in this capacity.

This indicates how valuable a contribution the Church ex­ pects women to make in the Council's work and deliber­ ations. It also shows that the Church is well aware of all that women are already doing for the cause of Christ. . Women usualy do not seek the limelight. They are ~ontent to do what .they can and not to seek the plaudits or even the attention of others. The Sisters give the clas­ sic pattern of devoted and dedicated women giving their considerable talents and unstinting time to serve Christ.

Every parish priest can attest to the many women who are willing and eager to serve the parish in the many menial and unrewarding jobs that must be done, that they ~n do so well, that are seldom seen or even heard of by the majority of people in the parish family.

All those women who have aided the cause of Christ by forming Him in the lives of their families, in their eommunities, in whatever works they are called on to perform, should consider the Pope's appointment of Miss Monnet as the Church's recognition of their own dedication.

Princeton's President The welcoming address of Dr. Robert F. Goheen, pres­ ident of Princeton University, to the incoming freshman class makes interesting and encouraging reading. He coun­ seled, "Late though the 'hour is, if any' of you has come' to Princetown hoping only to accumulate knowledge, I would advise you to begin immediate negotiations with some sort of institution where you can attach yourself to a pipe­ line of inanimate learning and become full, like a storage tank, sealed by a diploma, and otherwise ,useless." , Dr. Goheen pointed out that a college 'education should entail· "a moral quest as well as an intellectual one" in order to produce men capable of dealing with a troubled world. As Atomic Energy Chairman Thomas E.' Murray said several years ago, "Our only fear-and our great re­ sponsibility-is not what we do with things but what we do with ourselves." And- Jacques Maritain, the distinguished philosopher asked the question while lecturing at Prince­ ton, "Will men be able to submit the use of science and the power of techniques to wisdom?"

It is wonderful to hear educators, men dedicated to training young adults for. positions of responsiblty and power, express the belief that their work is not simply the imparting of knowledge but the inculcating of moral values. Of course the desire that students build moral values into their lives breaks down when these same educators admit-sadly-that the professors simply do not have the. time to do anything else but help their students vow intellectually 80 that the moral quest depends on the students themselves.

PORTO ALEGRE' (NC)­ A one-hour talk Qn the church's social teachings at a state-run university' here in Brazil was halted a few min­ utes after a visiting French Jes­ uit started to give his scheduled lecture.

The silence order-or face po­ lice action-was given to Fr. Jean Calvez, S.J. by the philo­ sophy department head at the University of Rio Grande do SuI. Asks Forgiveness A subsequent attempt qy Fr. Calvez to answer students' ques­ tions was stymied when the priest's interpreter refused to translate. The students forced the interpreter to flee.

While no clear reason was given for the gagging, observers in this southernmost district of Brazil-once a stronghold of ous­ ted leftist President Joao Gou­ lart say government and Church leaders are still wary of a stu­ dent uprising. Father Calverz has spoken in several Brazil oities and has received papular support from the government , press.

After the incident, the former director of the philosophy center begged the priest's forgiveness for "the great humiliation of which you were the victim." He . said the incident "serves to dem­ onstrate the gagging under which the Brazilian university move­ ment is sufferin,g."

More than 7,300 men, women and children fleeing commu­ nism have risked their lives in '176 boats since June, 1961. In their desperation, many have used inadequate craft which were sunk after arrival because they were useless.

In the past three months, 554' new refugees reached south Florid'a in 66 boats. In the pre­ vious Summer, the same' num-' . ber of boats brought 664 exiles..

People have arrived 'on 'an au­ tomobile trailer's roof converted to a boat, a raft of' bamboo, ropes and innertubes'and' even a kayak.

How many have lost their· nves in an attempt to flee is un­ known. But tragedy is not un­ common. One boat, originall,. filled with 14 children and three adults, was found by the U. S. Coast Guard with but one sur· vivor.

New life has come' into the world on these boats. One group of refugees, lost in a' small boa.t for more than seven days, ar­ rived here safely with an infant born during their voyage. The child was named "Miracle."

The Coast Guard said that as soon as a refugee boat is spotted at sea, air patrols drop food and medicine and a ship is' dis­ patched to assist.

Reader:

"Why, oh why, do people insist on lighting the first row of 'Y i gil candles and make it necessary for others who follow to reach over io light theirs? Women seem to be the worst offenders and with their flimsy clothing stand to be tile victims of terrilble bmns.

Also, why are small child'l'en al­ lowed to light candles, standing at an altar with the flame shoot­ ing up, and taking three or four puffs before it is extinguished.

Perhaps the faet that I had a cousin burned to death (caught her dress on a heater) makes me more conscious of the danger. I have all I can do sometimes in church to keep from screaming when I see such carelessness.

"An article from you may help. Our pastor has called at­ tention to this but it doesn't seem to do much good."

Mr. Brannigan From Mr. Brannigan, whcl • also author of "The Burning Question": "I am absolutely 9Pposed .. the use of vigil lights. .

"There is no way to iBvite ehildren to play with fire and still keep them safe. The courts have· recognized this. The par­ ents of one child burned in New ~ersey were awarded $13,000 ill a negligence judgment.

"Stories too numerous to me. . tion go like this: 'Children play­ ing with vigil lig'!1ttapers, ig­ Ilited the confessional drapes. The church is a total loss.'

"We are, none of us, too far from our ancestors' :worship of fire. Most of us get some fasci­ nation out of watching dancing flames in the fireplace; some of us get uncontrollably excited in the presence of flame. Does Jl()t the person who provides the ex­ citement, the fuel and the match to a disturbed person share in the responsibility for ~he tragedy which may ensue? I have argued in 'The Burning Question' that private devotions of the few (which often border: 00 super­ stition) are Jl() excuse for haz­ arding the church or even more importantly, causing burns to a child. It is no accident that the torments of hell are expressed as burning. .

"You may remember reading ef Johnny, one of the children burned in the Chicago school fire. After 251 days of pain and 25 operations for skin grafts, Johnny died.

"The pyrom·aniac who gains pleasure from setting fires would find a church an .apt place. The Catholic church es­ pecially h; almost invariably open all daylight hours· and matches placed for the lighting of votive lights are ready at hand for the pyromaniac who doesn't even need to carry his own. What are we to 'do? Lock the churches? No. Important as it is to thwart the pyromaniac, it is more important to make the House of God aWlilable to the worshiper."

Recommended the Monsignor., "general commonsense adminis-' tration of church property."

(This included lightning rods for high steeples, sprinkling sys­ tems, vigilant care of wires, etc.)

New Clubhouse To Be Blessed

She does not go ootwith anyone else; neither does he. I call this s'teady quently they quarrel and break dating. She denies it. Will up.

Fall River Catholic Woman's Club announces that the blessing of its new clubhouse at 742 Rock Street will be held at 1:30 Sun­ day afternoon, Sept. 27. An open house will follow from 2 to 5.

Saturday, Oct. 17 will see the firm event to take place ,at the new location. It will be a des­ sert card party, planned to start at 1 :30 in the afternoon. Mrs. AHred J. Roy will be chairman.

A reception for new members Is set for 3 Sunday afternoon, Oct. 25.

Other club activities for the year, to be held at St. Patrick's auditorium, Fall River, will in­ clude a male, quartet at 8 Tues­ day night, Oct. 13; a Bishop's Night program Thursday, Dec. 10; a musical program in March; and a buffet supper in May. A requiem Mass for departed m~mbers is announced for 9:30 saturday morning, N1)v. '1 at St. Patdck's Church.

Occasions of Sin A gre8't deal of this steady dating stems from feelings of insecurity on the part of both the boy and the girl, although perhaps more so on the part of the girl. There is the fear that one or the other, or both would be unable to get a date for a school dance, a picnic, a party, 01' whatever. So they take out a type of social insurance by hav­ ing a steady boy friend or girl friend.

To be entirely realistic about this matter, when a young boy and girl begin to see each other exclusively, frequently and alone, necking, heavy petting, and even sexual involvement are likely-not probably likely.

There are millions of parents who simply can _,at define steady dating.

And if there is one point of dis­ agreement be­ tween teen­ agers ,and. par­ ents, it is exact­ ly the question of what consti­ tutes steady dating. Times and cu.stoms change. We who are older must be prepared for this.

Time was when a boy took a girl out once or twice her father had a heart to heart talk with him about his intentions. If the family approved, the boy saw fihe girl regularly. This was known as courting and was ex­ pected to precede marriage, and to precede it by not too long a - period. ' The custom of dating has been 1ft vogue in this country for over 40 years. It is something entirely different from courting or going steady, or at least It is supposed to ,be. , According to students of mar­ riage and the family, dating is 1Ile association of a boy and girl purely for the sake of enjoying a social engagement. It is not supposed to carry emotional in­ YOlvement. It carries no obliga­ tion for either to see the other again and theoretically, at least, has little or nothing to do with the possibility of marriage. .Actually, this sounds good only on paper. In reality, cur­ rent dating Js something qui~ different. Dating does have a i'omantic involvement. It may even involve forbidden intima- .

School OffieiaI " Charges ·Bias

Religious Bodies To Help Rebuild Negro Churches

EATONTOWN (NC) ... board of education member in this New Jersey community hy protested the board's action in granting Jewish teachers time off with pay for religious holi­ days but refusing a paid reli­ gious holiday to Catholics OD Catholic holydays.

Gregory J. Guarino said he wants a "p<>licy of consistency among teachers a·nd pupils and among teachers themselves." He said he is considering taking the case to court.

Guarino said he. cast the lone opposing vote when the board voted 5-1 to permit six teachers of the Jewish faith to be absent with pay on Yom Kippur. He said last November a Catholie teacher was denied a day off to observe the Feast of All Saints.

Sees Difference Board president James K. Va. Dover said there is a difference.

He said a Catholic may dis­ charge his religious responsibil­ ity of attending Mass outside of school 'hours. But the Jewish Yom Kippur demands a fuU day's observance, he said.

Guarino, however, maintained that "the principle of religious observance should be handled equally for all faiths."

JACKSON (NC)-23 Mis­ sippi church leaders have formed a "Committee of Con­ eern" to help rebuild Negro

churches destroyed by myster­ ious fires.

Catholic Bishop Richard O. Gerow of Natchez-Jackson is a member of the group's executive eommittee which represents Catholic, Protestant and jewish religious bodies. Both Negroes and whites are participating.

Dr. W. P. Davis, Jackson, was elected permanent chairman. He is secretary of the Department of Work with Negroes of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board and president of Missis­ sippi Baptist Seminary.

Sees Possibility Of Organic Unity

ST. PAUL (NO) - The College of St. Thomas an­ nounced the establishment here 'of the John Gregory Murray Fund for the training of teachers for St. Paul archdioc­ esan schools and named for the third archbishop of St. Paul.

The fund will have an initial endowment of $500,000, the in­ come from which will provide financial assistance to students planning on teaching in elemen­ tary and secondary schools of the archdiocese. College officials voiced hope that gifts to the fund will increase the endow­ ment in the years to come.

Forgiveness Feature Apart of the student aid pro­ gram is a forgiveness feature similar to that granted by the federal government in its Na­ tional Defense Education Act (NDEA) loans.

Under NDEA terms, a student can have up to 50 per cent of his loan forgiven by becoming a full time teacher in a public ele­ mentary or secondary school.

The John Gregory Murray Fund will enable St. Thomas to extend the same forgiveness' benefits to loan students com­ mitting themselves to teach in archdiocesan grade or high schools.

have already visited her in her new life.

A group of asjirants to the religious life, sOme as young as 10 and 11, aid the Sisters in such jobs as shopping and caring for guests, that require contact with the outside world. Sister Helen William said African girls marry so young it is necessary to per­ mit them to 'attach themselves to the convent even at the age of 10 or 11, if their vocations are to be nurtured. . She commented on the Sisters' music, saying there is no piano or organ in the convent chapel, but that native instruments are used exclusively, as well as Af­ rican musical arrangements.

"There is no Gregorian or other Latin music," she said.

"We use a tomtom· for calls to community exercises," she said, "and a bell for the call to chapel."

She said her family is happy over her new vocation, "now they see how happy 1 am." Be­ fore her arrival, however, they were' dismayed, never having heard of the Poor Clares. But Rev. Edward L. O'Brien, pastor of St. Mary's in Mansfield, "sent them up to Brookline to visit the Poor Clares there, and they felt much better after that."

In addition to Sister's mother and father,' she has two sisters, Mrs. Leslie Waite of Little Compton, and a sister in Cali­ fornia whom she has not seen for 15 years, Mrs. Jack Griffin.

"She is coming next month for a family reunion," she reported happily.

Before Sister Helen William returns to Africa in November, she will visit the Mission Secre­ tariat in Washington, D. C. and will make several appearances before schools and organizations in the New England area. She has slides and photographs availahle to illustrate her explanations of the Poor Clare life and she may be reached at the Holy Union Provincial House, 492 Rock Street, Fall River.

CLEVELAND (NC) - There are no insurmountable obstacles to "organic unity" among C~ris­ tians, the president of the World Methodist Council told some 600 Catholics at a meeting of the First Friday Club here.

Bishop Fred .Pierce Corson, Methodist bishop of Philadel­ phia and an observer at the Sec­ ond Vatican Council's first two sessions, said the council con­ vinced many that much of the outward signs of differences were not matters of principles, but of tradition.

"We came to understand," he said,"that things which we thought separated us were no longer there. We found we had many, many things in common."

Bishop Corson said the ques­ tion of infallibility was a part of the obstacles but added· that "even this idea of supreme au­ thority shouldn't be strange" for all organized religions have some kind of final authority.

The Vatican council, he said, has taken people in religion to a point where "we can see that the forces for us are greater than the forces against us."

"I am convinced that though the methods are unknown to us, with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, God will bring about His purpose in the uniting of all people in one faith," he said.

"Only those who suffer are God's privileged," Father Angel Villaronga, O.F.M., told several thousand Cuban exiles at a MaSB marking the feast of Our Lady of Charity.

Auxiliary Bishop Juan de Dios Lopez of San Juan offered the Mass in the Sixto Ese<>bar sta­ dium near a statue of the Blessed Virgin from Cuba. The observ­ ance was sponsored by the Cuban Exiles Union and pre­ ceded by a youth parade;

'Love Y 011 Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.

Within the past three weeks there came to our office two of the most remarkable women of God it has ·ever beeD our privilege to know. Both of them were religious. One of them founded a community twe.lve years ago which now has 270 members and whose PDrPOSe is the service of the poor. In addi­ tion to the vows of poverty, chastity, and bedience, a fourth vow is taken, namely, the vow of always serving neighbor in preference to self. The Dun who founded this community has already had 16,000 converts in India. Almost aU of them were men and women whom she foUnd dyin.&' in the "«era and to whom she preached tbe love of Christ as they died.

The other religious.is starting in Afrlca the first contempla­ tive community in the history of the world for lepers. This nun. who is an American, has as her prioress a French contemplative who was taken pI'i9­ oner by the Japanese in Southeast Asia during the war. (When the Japanese heard the American and ~ritish planes flying over the concentration camp they brought the nuns into the city streets so that the bombs might fQll on them.) The prioress escaped however, founded the first con­ templative order for' Africans and now one of her daughters is doing the same for lepers.

Imagine a community in which ODly stumPs of hands will hold the 'breviary for Divine Office, in which some will crawl to choir on knees half-rotted from leprosy, and In which the passive acceptance of suffer~ will be crowned with the active surrender of will in the hard discipline of total aban. donment to Christ.

Priests in Suit~ Italian 'Trend TRIESTE (NC) - A break­ through in the Italian tradition of priests wearing cassocks in the streets as well as in the church and rectory has been made in the Archdiocese of Tri­ este, northeast Italy.

Archbishop Antonio Santin h4le granted permission to priests under his jurisdiction to wear suits when nm exercising the function of priests as such.

Although the common dress of priests, in the United States, suits are just recently becoming the style for most central and southern European priests. This is now common in France and Germany, also gray suits and sometimes collar and tie instead of the Roman collar are worn.

In response to a proposal first made

by President Kennedy in 1963 at .the time of the railroad-labor dispute and seconded by Presi­ dent Johnson in his State of the Union Message last January, the Congress has enacted H.R. 11611, a bill to establish a National Commission on Technology, Au­ tomation and Economic Prog­ ress.

This bill provides for the cre­ ation of a commission of 14 per­ sons to be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate and to be broadly repre­ sentative of labor, management and the public. The Commis­ sion's assigned responsibility will be: 1. To identify and assess the past effects and the c~rrent and prospective role and pace of technological. change; 2. To identify and describe the { m pac t of technological and economic change on production and employment; Human Hee4Is 3. To define those areas of unmet community and human needs toward which application __ of new technologies might most effectively be directed; 4. To assess the most effec­ tive means for channeling new technologies into promising di­ rection; 5. To recommend administra­ tive and legislative steps which should be taken by the Federal and State governments relative 10 such technological develop­ ments.

The Commission must com­ plete its work and make a final report before July 1, 1166.

THE ANCHOR­

England To Have Common Bible In January

Thurs., Sept. 24, 1964

K of C Has New Pension Plan

LONDON (NC) - Cath­ olics in Britain will be able to use the New Testament adapted from the American Protestant Rev i sed Standard Version next January.

Complimentary copies will be sent to English-speaking bishops all over the world and to any interested bishop at the Second Vatican Council.

Since it was reported last November that Catholic scholars were working on the Revised Standard Version, hundreds of inquiries had been received from all parts of the English­ speaking world by the publish­ ers, Thomas Nelson and Son, who hold the British copyright.

The RSV has now been ap­ proved by the Holy See and car­ ries the imprimatur of Arch­ bishop Gordon Gray of St. An­ drews and Edinburgh, Scotland, where the Nelson firm has its headquarters.

Liturgy Use The committee set up by the English and Welsh hierarchy to translate certain parts of the liturgy into English is reported to favor the RSV version for use in the liturgy.

Father Reginald Fuller, Bib­ lical authority here, said the RSV Bible will have "enormous value" in Catholie-Protestant dialogue. Its three main advan­ tages are: 1. it will eliminate the suspicion that one side' or the other is manipulating texts to suit certain doctrinal positions; 2. it will serve to emphasize that the Bible is the common heri­ tage of all Christians, and 3. It will show that Catholics are not "anti-Bible."

Reds Again Seeking Control of Kerala TRICHUR (NC)-A decision by leaders of rival Communist

party factions to back common candidates in next February's state elections may lead to a Red return to power in KeraIa. It has been decided to set up a Democratic Front to present candidates of both the leftist and rigbtist communist faclions as well as candidates of other leftwing parties.

A split in the Cc>mmumst party in Kerala occured after the Red state government, elec­ ted in 1957, was ousted by the central Indian government in 1959.

Catholic fears of. a new Red takeover started last June when fE.M.S. Namboodiripad, who headed the communist regime here five years ago, led the leftist faction to victory in city elections in Trivandrum, Karal­ a's capital. About 20 per cent of this state's 16 million people are Catholics, the highest percent­ age of any Indian state.

Bible Vigil Opens Year at Academy New Students Participate in Service The Bible will play an im­ portant part in the lives of fresh. men at Dominican Academy, Fall River. In line with the kerygmatk approach to the study of reli~ion, entering stu­ dents, as one of their first high school activities, participated in a scripture service or Bible VigiL God's Plan The honor with which the word of God should be regarded was. reflected in a ceremony during which Rev.

The girls knelt at the altar rail to kiss and re­ ceive the books, which will be lJsed throughout their high school careers in conjunction with religion textbooks.

Directed by Sister Louis Ber­ trand, O.P. of Dominican Acad­ emy's faculty, the service was designed to show God's plan of creation. It began with an en­ trance hymn and prayer to the Holy Spirit, and continued with psalms and I'eadings from other

Msgr. Adrian Veigle, T.O.R., first prelate nullius of the mis­ sion prelature of Borba, Brazil, was the subject of this comment in the sermon by Fallber Augus­ tine Donegan, T.O.R., of Our Lady. of Loretto Seminary at nearby Loretto, Pa.

Father Donegan told the con­ gregation about the missionary work tihe Franciscans of Loretto have done in Brazil, particularly in the 100,000 square mile jungle' land of the new prelate. He said the six young Franciscans now in Borba are carrying out Christ's parable of the tiny mustard seed that develops into a tree that sheiters many birds.

Msgr. Edward M. Betowskj, 78, pastor of Christ the King church here, deplored the rapid spread of narcotics addiction among Yonkers youths, £,rom 14 to 22 years of age. He led his parishioneds in voluntary total 12-hour abstinence from food and water.

City officials had disclosed that 100 youths, many from up­ per and middle class families, are narcotics addicts and that 900 others are occasional nar­ cotics users.

the Dominican freshmen re­ peated the words of the Psalm­ ist: Coine, let us bow down in wor-ship; let us kneel before the Lord who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.

Delaware Approves Voluntary Prayers DOVER (NC)-Delaware Atty.

Gen. David P. Buckson has ad­ vised state school officials that prayer and .Bible reading by public school students is permis­ sible provided it is conducted on a voluntary basis.

Buckson in an opinion sub­ mitted to the State Board of Ed­ ucation, stressed that the schools must maintain strict neutrality concerning religion.

"The boards can neither en­ courage nor discourage volun. tary prayer or Bible reading," he said describing his remarks as "guidelines for your directive to the public school superintend­ ents." The state board was ex­ pected to send directives to local school officials on the subject of religious exercises.

NEW HAVEN (NC) -A new pension plan under which man­ agement will contribute all the funds has been adopted for cler­ ical employees at the national headquarters of the Knights of Columbus.

All money paid by employees under a former retirement plan to which they contributed has been refunded to them by the Knights of Columbus.

The new pension plan was an­ nounced jointly by Supreme John W. McDevitt of the Kn~ghts of Columbus and Justi~ F. Manning, international repre­ sentative of the Office Employ­ ees International Union, AFLCIO. .

'Good Climate' Manning, hailing the new plan asa milestone in labor-manage­ ment relations, pointed out that J(... the Knights of Columbus man­ agement was under no obliga­ tion to agree to changes in the old plan since the existing con­ tract with clerical employees still has time to run.

De called the agreement "f~ ther proof of the continuing good climate which is attendant to the labor-management reIa-. tionsat the K. of C. headquar­ ters."

McDevitt eommented t hat good will between labor and management is best achieved when benefits are given volun­ tarily apart from the pressures of the bargaining tables.

Bible Shows Intervention Of God in Human History

By Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, 8.J. If you memorized last week's column, you will remem­

ber that there was something there about the nature of the Bible-the record of God's intervention in human his­ tory, not secular history or science, but an illustrated theol­

ogy. It is the work of God, of revelation, until we acknowl­ its Author, making use of edge the true G<ld. a human writer as His in­ Besides, these old-timers may strument. And so both God's have been great and even public

But he knew it, just to a few acknowledged it, and didn't at­ obscure people tempt the spineless and phoney in an obscure modern blooper that he "just land, but to all couldn't help it." He accepted mankind, the punishment God sent him to men of all for his sin, and added on some na tio n sand more of his own.

F-rison Chaplain '~an'Jal Ready

High School Pupils Aid Poor Farmers

ATLANTA (NC)-The man or woman who "ignores the suf­ ferings of another or despairs at his own" was called "a tragic figure in 'the drama of human life" at the dedication of a new 128-bed Catholic hospital here.

Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta said: "The modern man who is too busy to visit and help the sick; the modern mind too squeamish to think or talk about death; the modern neigh­ borhood too ronscious of real estate values to allow a h<lspital within its boundaries-these are far from Christ no matter how often they speak or worship in His name."

"They simply do not under­ stand," Archbishop Hallinan said, ·'that a mystery lies at the very center of Christianity-the obedience of Christ to the law of suffering and His active min­ istry in its relief. A 'non-suffer-

iug Christ' ~uld be a eontra­ diction in terms."

The archbishop spoke at the dedication of the new Holy Fam­ ily Hospital here, the second Catholic hospital in Atlanta and the third in the archdiocese, which rovers 71 north Georgia counties.

Archbishop Hallinan paid trib­ ute to Catholi<: hospitals and hospital nuns for their service to '.'the miniStry of good will" in the South.

"Long before the ecumenical movement began to move," he said, "the South was being dot­ ted with dozens of Catholic hos­ pitals. Most of them began, as did our own, on a shoestring, but the string was a bond of unity in mercy. Blending compassion and skill, the Sisters won the hearts of many wh{) had seldom seen a wh{)le live Catholic be­ fore, much less talked to one."

Tri-County' Gridsters Await Saturday's Opening Whistle

Olympic Team Head Coach, Urges Gold Medal Aim

By Fred Bartek ,That time of year is here again!

Satunlay is the opening of the 1964 high

school foot­ baD season and everything that goes with it. While· the band and eheerleaders take their places, while proud parents

,. [~

~Uy their tickets an~ while littH: ~YS"try to gam free admIBslon when the local policeman isn't looking, the gridsters will again be spending tense moments before the open­ ing kickoff in the locker room listening to' last minute instruc­ tions from the coach. Competi­ tion in the TriCounty League will be keen.

This is evident from last year's standings which found the cham­ pionship being shared by Somerset, Case, Ware­ ham and Falmouth.

At Somerset, Coach Jim SuI­ livan has been working candi­ dates hard ill order to replace 19 of 23 lettermen lost by grad­ uation. The Raider skipper has had to look hard for a quarter­ back, but it looks as though Paul Hoole will hold the posi­ tion against Bourne on Saturday.

Co-captain fullback Joe Silva and halfback!;! Bill Lizotte and John ~astall will round out the backfield. End Lionel Rousseau is the mainstay of the line.

Case Rarin' to Go Case of Swansea at Old Roch­ ester could be the top game of the week. The Swansea Cardi­ naIs have a top flight quarter­ back in Bobby English who fits in with Coach Jack McCarthy's plan to feature a passing attack.

The Cardinals have a good­ size line as can be seen in Jim Kirkman and Stan Johnson 200 pound tackles and six-foote; Mike Travis at end. At halfback, diminutive Jesse Ferreira (5-2, 129 pounds) makes up for his lack of size with his tremendous running. Case lost only two games last year and could top that mark this coming campaign.

Rochester Skong Old Rochester has the reputa­ tion of being the upset team in the league but judging from the perfor~ance of Coach Frank Almeida's chargers in the annu­ al football jamboree, held at Wareham last week they may well be the team to ~pset.

In pre-season tune-ups Old Rochester has displayed a strong Wing T offense with quarter­ back Don Dorr and halfback George Monteirro combining on power plays and the option pass.

Tony Mello at end is an excel­ lent receiver. The defense is in no way lagging behind the of­ fense. Tom Kearney and John Price, both 225 pound tackles, make the Old Rochester line mighty rough.

Bill Maxwell, Wareham men­ tor, was hit hard with the prob­ lem of replacing the many grad­ uates who molded Wareham into one of the area's toughest teams last wear. Gone are Alan Biz­ zari and Joe Nelson, two of the best linemen in Wareham's his­ tory. However, this season finds Tom Britto returning to action at the halfback position. With a little dayligl>t and his explosive speed, he could spell troUble for a lot of the opposition.

Maguiremen Eye Flag From Falmouth comes the team to beat. Sharing the crown last season wasn't Lawrence High's idea of complete success.

NQW they would like to possess it solely. Coach Paul Maguire has one of the biggest and strongest lines in these parts.

The Maguire lads will use a single wing with aD unbalanced line.

Dighton-Rehoboth hasn't tasted a league victory in almost three years, but newly appointed head Coach Ed Teixeira is optimistic· about the upcoming campaign.

The new coach has a small squad but feels that the team will be decidedly improved both offen­ sively and defensively.

Big Taunton Loss M1;lch will depend upon Cap­ tain Austin Donahue, speedster halfback. In pre-season encoun­ ters with Taunton High and Coyle of Taunton, the Falcons looked good. It· was in the Taunton - Dighton scrimmage that talented Ben Enos of Taun­ ton suffered a serious knee in­ jury that required surgery and ended his high school football career.

The opening game against Barnstable will find Jim Martin at the quarterback position for the Falcons. Starting at right end will be Steve Brage and Stan Perry and Guy SIeck will operate at the tackle slots.

Pro Now at Helm Barnstable also possesses a new coach in Dick Lasse, former pro with the Washington Red­ skins. He would like to have a few boys the size of his former teammates to fill in the gaping holes caused by last years grad­ uation.

Judging from reports on open­ ing day practices, Coach Lasse should have been encouraged by the turnou~ which was one of the largest In the school history.

B~nstable in its first encQunter "':'lll r~ly upon a passing game smce It possesses an A-I quar­ terback in John Spark.

The surpriSe team of the TrlCounty League could be Bourne.

C~ach Russ Burns has a line With excellent overall size and one of the league's hardest half­ back runners, Tony Britto. It looks as t;h0ugh the Tri-County League y.'lll be as balanced this year as it has been in the past.

Predicts Upset The Mansfield Hornets will open the campaign by hosting H?~brook High School Coach Bill Parsons feels that the de­ fense h~ improved and that the offense IS stable. The starting backfield w~ll consist of quar­ u;rback Fre<'! .Vellette, fullback Jim Albertml and halfbacks Tom Cruser and Jake Ann­ strong. Junior Kevin Fallon will be. starti~g at left end for tlurd ~Ight year.

Look~ng to opening games in the Bnstol County League this Saturday we will have to choose ~ee over New Bedford Voca­ tional, Stang over North AttIe­ boro, Attleboro over Fairhaven and a surprise. Feehan over Taunton.

Planning Jerusalem Theology Center VATICAN CITY (NC) -Pope Paul VI hopes to build a center for Eastern and especially Ortho­ dox theology in Jerusalem as a memorial of his January meet­ ing there with Orthodox Patri­ arch Athenagoras of Constantin­ ople.

He had enlisted the help of Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of Notre Dame University. Father Hesburgh has interested American oilman Ig­ natius A. O'Shaughnessy of St. Paul in the project.

Support will also be sought from Catholic university rectors at the fortheoming Paris meet­ ing of the International Federa­ tion of Catholic Univenitiea.

Urges Industry Ton'e Down Ads PATERSON (NC)-The liquor industry has been asked to pro­ mote moderation in its adver­ tising by a New Jersey priest who works with alcoholics.

Msgr. William N. Wall, direc­ tor of the Mt. Carmel Center for Alcoholism, made his views known in a six-page appeal to the industry.

He linked excessive drinking with recent rioting here, noting that it started with an intoxi­ cateQ. ,woman and that during subsequent looting "liquor stores were ,prime targets."

"A beverage of moderation turned moderate men into fran­ tic men," he said.

Suggests Education Msgr. Wall said "youi industry supplies the flrone to the kin­ dling. And unless the public will react with indignation and out­ rage at your head-in-the-sand complacency, the fire will grow beyond many neighborhoods."

He cited advertisements which "urge you to have one drink after another, or suggest you should go to the beach with cases of whiskey under each arm and a bevy of women alongside you."

He suggested a program of education in moderation and strid enforcement of laws gov­ erning operations of taverns and liquor stores.

Scout Award Boy Scouts of the Diocese who have completed requirements for the Ad Altare Dei Award must leave completed workbooks at Massasoit Council Office by to­ morrow, according to announce­ ment made by Rev. John F. Andrews, council chaplain. Ex­ aminations for the award will take place Monday, Sept. 28.

A 1963 graduate of Dominican Academy, Fall River, she was employed at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, until she entered the' congregation of the Dominican Order, known as the Servants of Relief for Incurable Cancer.

The order staffs the Rose Haw­ thorne Lathrop Horne, Bay Street, Fall River.

Rev. John E. Boyd, adminis­ trator of S1. Patrick's Church, Fall River, was celebrant of Solemn Benediction which fol­ lowed the ceremony of reception.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Rep. Thomas B. Curtis of Missouri has. introduced legislation to pro­ tect the income of publications of tax.:exempt groups from tax­ ation.

Although the income of such publications is" currently tax­ .free there nave been reports that the Internal Revenue Service intends to propose a regulation to impose a tax on it.

Curtis, introducing his bill (H. R. 12505), said the Internal Revenue service would be ex­ ceeding its authority and going counter to the intention of the Revenue Act of 1950 by such a move.

He said his measure "will as­ sure to labor, agricultural, trade, professional, educational, char­ itable, religious, and similar or­ ganizations the tax-free status of their legitimate activities."

The bill .was referred to the House Ways and Means Com­ mittee.

Msgr. Robert G. Peters, pres­ ident of the Catholic Press Asso­ ciation and editor of the Peoria, Ill" Register, recently protested any attempt to tax the revenue of the publications of tax­ exempt religious groups in a letter to Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon.
