The report of. the year-long study was presented' to the Council's general board at its Fall meeting here.

Youth, defined in the report as "persons 13 to 30," were described as "increasingly concerned" about the injustices, squalor and violence of todays world.

"They (the youth) are challenging older generations and their institutions to incarnate and show forth the values whIch society claims verbally that it lives by," the report said. It added: "On the whole the re-

Ordinary Petitions Laity For Catechetical Support

Conflict in So. partmouth Over Choice of Lay Clothes Recent regulations of the Religious Sisters of Mercy allowing the Sisters to wear lay clothes where and as they wish has led to a conflict in South Dartmouth's St. Mary's Parish. The pastor, Rev. Msgr. Arthur G. Considine, indicates that since he assumed the Sisters would wear their University Board religious habit while teaching catechism, and at other Backs President official parish functions, he would not accept their services to do catechetical work in the parish if they opted to wear lay clothes.

The Sisters have, by their community regulations, the right to make the choice to wear the religious habit or not. Msgr:.

Considine points out that his desire in obtaining the Sisters to do apostolic work in the parish was to introduce religious into the community and he felt thaf a distinctive religious habit would enhance their presence as a spiritual and educational force in South Dartmouth.

Latest information indicates that the Sisters will withdraw and that the catechetical work in the parish will be undertaken by lay people.

Of Seton lHa II SOUTH ORANGE (NC)Academic and disciplinary principles enunciated by the acting president of Seton Hall University will be supported by the university's board of trustees, the board secretary said here.

Thomas Gassert, Newark attorney, said a statement supporting Msgr. Edward J. Fleming's policies is being drafted. .

Gassert said the decision to issue a statement was made at a board meeting after Msgr. Fleming had come under student criticism for asserting that Seton Hall intended to retain its Catholic principles "till hell freezes over."

As a result of the uproar which resulted from his statement, given at a Mass opening the school year, the board announced that Msgr. Fleming will remain as acting president for at least the full academic路 year.

The board's action was designed to short-circuit student attempts to undermine his position in the belief that a new president Turn to Page Seventeen

()f Christian education on the adult level has been newly recognized.

"The word of God is being communicated more effectively now than ever before," said the United States Catholic Conference in a recent statement. Such new methods of communication are evaluated here by the Diocesan CCD Office. They are summed up by Edward P. McDonagh, lay coordinator, as offering a transition from old-style catechetics to "an educational approach based, where children are concerned, on the life expetience of the child. He is no longer confronted with adulttype learning."

"Through human experience," said McDonagh, "we ask the child to reach out to divine experience."

New CCD texts are not so much innovators, he said, as followers. They are merely applying in the religious field principles that have for some time been in the ascendancy in the general education world. "The approach is based on the work of child psychologists."

"We want not only to gIve' Children something they'll understand when they grow up, but something they'll grasp now on their own level," emphasized Sister Martha Wordeman, O.L.V.M., CCD supervisor. "We Turn to Page Six

Desire to Marry Primary Reason

Fordham," Turning to the subject of the financial crisis plaguing most of private higher education, the Jesuit university president said, "We can balance the books but we can't do all the things we want to do," He noted the university need for more money to encourage research and innovative programs and to augment its scholarship program. The university is currently spending $2.5 million of its own funds in student aid.

ConstUu~ional Prohibntiolll New York State, which recently decided to grant more money to some private educational institutions,' is still deciding on the status of a number of religious affiliated schools, including Fordham. A decision is expected in about a month.

Father Walsh said the so-called Blaine Amendment in the state constitution prohibits the use of tax money for schools which are directly or indirectly controlled by a religious denomination, or in which denominational tenets are taught. Fordham's board of trustees now has a lay majoritf, which, in addition to adding expertise to the administration, makes the argument of independent control more believable.

The former BC head noted that theology at the co1lege level is taught in an academic, clinical perspective, as opposed to high schools where it takes on a more catechetical dimension. (He hastened to qualify "some" high schools-"they're changing so fast now that it's hard to keep up with them,") Ever-Increasing Demands The vocations shortage, which has so drastically affected the staffing of elementary and secondary schools is' also felt at Fordham, and this has caused another financial pinch.

"It's not simply that there are less Religious; many are now working in different apostolates.

Many of the young priests and nuns are working in the inner cities, and while they may be available to other schools, they cannot help the colleges. Many are forced by an expanding bureaucracy into positions other than teaching within the college.

Also, there has been a great demand from 'the secular universities for religious in various capacities," he said.

Predict Collegial Authority Rise NEW YORK (NC)-A majority of the U. S. Catholic bishops queried by the publishers of a business newsletter said increased collegial authority and increased participation by the laity will be among major ·developments in the Church in the years ahead.

Some 65.2 per cent of the bishops' group said they favor full financial disclosure by the Church and· '84 per cent favored taxation of Church-owned property used for secular purposes.

A personnel shortage is the "most urgent problem" cited by 46.2 per cent of the bishops, followed by such matters as inadequate finances; escalating departmental costs; innovations in doctrinal teaching and liturgical practices; religious growth, and vocations.

Sixty-four per cent of the bishops believe that clerical departures are 11l critical issue in the Church, but 50 per cent of them also believe these departures will decrease. Some 83 per cent of the bishops view former priests as "psychologically unsettled," and 91.7 per cent blame their defections on neglect of prayer.

The newsletter contacted what it termed a "scientific sampling" of 27 bishops in a geographic cross-section of U. S. diocese. It said the bishops in the study represent 13.4 million American Catholics (27.g per cent of the total 48 million Catholic P.opulation) and oversee 11,494 priests (30.1 per cent of the total 37,454 diocesan priests).

Jerseyite Scores Plan to Restrict Federal Building

THE ANCHORThurs., Sept. 25, 1969

Start Campaign Against Smut

NEWARK (NC) - The Newark Housing Authority chairman has roundly criticized the Nixon administration's decision to cut·back Federal construction, saying it threatens the very existence of the nation's cities.

Father Thomas J. Finnegan says that because of the national administration policy that federal urban renewal officials are considering the possibility of limiting slum rebuilding aid to 20 acres per city.

He noted this limit does not take into consideration the size of the city or the amount of urban blight contained in it.

Father Finnegan made his re~ marks at groundbreaking ceremonies for an industrial concern in Newark's port area meadowlands. "Our fight for survival" as a city is threatened by the policy, he stressed.

"Useless Farce" He revealed the Newark Housing Authority has submitted 17 redevelopment proposals involving 220 acres of land and $48 million in renewal funds. If the new policy is adopted, he said, the city will receive only about $5 million in needed funds or about one tenth of what it is seeking.

Under the urban renewal program, the federal government picks up two-thirds of the cost of purchasing and clearing "blighted land for resale to private developers. Newark, with one of the highest ratios of substandard dwellings of any city of its size in the country, has been a prime beneficiary of the program.

The Newark Housing Authority, Father FinnegaOi revealed, "has been informally advised that our program is to be cut back so as to be as good as wiped out.

If this is allowed to stand as our nation's policy to save the American city, the battle will become nothing but a feeble, useless farce."

Bishops 'Support Black Power MONTEGO BAY (NC) - The bishops of the Antilles have pledged themselves to promote the Black Power movement in' their areas of Jamaica.

Bl.!t they mad~ a distinction between the Black Power that tries to eradicate racism and end the degradation of black people, and that which preaches a philosophy of hatred and violence.

In a statement following a meeting of the Antilles Bishops' Conference they silid that they are aware of the various interpretations of the term "Black Power" as well as of the distortions of the movement and the violent abuses perpetrated in its name.

But in the eyes of its "thoughtful advocates," they explained, Black Power "is a force meant to lead toward the eradication of racism and all its social, cultural, and economic adjuncts.

"For them, it is a cultural force which is devised to awaken in all men a sense of their universal brotherhood-a political and economic program which is intended to put an end to a history of degradation and minimal progress for black people.

Such a philosophy is basically Christian. "

WASHINGTON (NC) - The Department of Justice and the Post Office Department have mounted a campaign against mail order distributors of pornography.

Working without fanfare during the last eight months the campaign has netted arrests of 20 persons and indictments of 22 companies on charges of distributing obscene materials.

Postmaster General Winton M. Blount and Atty. Gen. ·John N. Mitchell are reported in agreement that the main thrust of enforcing current anti-Smut law should be leveled against the large interstate distributors of obscene materials.

Earlier Mitchell proposed to Congress two suggested statutes aimed at protecting minors from smut peddlers and stopping delivery of questionable materials to persons who do not want to receiye it.

Radiolo.gist Is Photography Enthusiast Nun O'evelops HARRISBURG (NC) - Sister Roselyn, a hospital administrator and radiologist, is also a photography enthusiast. She likes, to contemplate the stars with her camera: to capture the constellations on film.

She has even photographed an unidentified flYing object, although she doesn't believe it came from outer space.

Sister Roselyn, a Sister of Christian Charity, who is sup~r­ visor of the radiology department of Holy Spirit Hospital here, said: "I've been up on the roof about 15 times in the past two years. There are many times you'd like to go up, but the weather isn't favorable; and if the moon is too bright, it isn't good for photographing stars."

Studies Sky Charts With Sister Roselyn, photographing the stars is more than a hobby and exercise in contemplation. The techniques she develops are used to help radiology students at the hospital. " "It's part of my profession," she said, "because photography is an elective in our school, and I teach it to the students if they are interested."

She also takes pictures of hospital activities and photographs Sisters for passports.

"I think at the present time it's not so much of a hobby as a profession," she said, "but it's a hobby because I like it."

CCD Sunday

An Exa:mple ?

Well, it has happened. . A few years ago the merest suggestion that it could or would • happen was greeted with scorn· and derision.I . , . But It has happened. . , . . And what has happened?

Why, the recet:lt me'eting of a conservation organization in Aspen, Colorado, during which a cloi;e advisor t6 the President, John Erlichman, was told by some scientfsts 'that the official' Federal· notion of limiting p~pulation i by voluntary birth control was "insanity" and birth control would have to be made compulsory.

As Dr. Donald Aitken, a Stamford University astrophysicist 'said, "I'd like to see Mr. Nixon stand up a ~ew years from now and say: 'Nothing has happened. Population must be ·.controlled.· We must set an example.: So the Government has to step in and tamper v~ith religious and personal convictions ---:. and maybe even impose p,enalties for every child a family has over two: ". : That would be an example, all right. Not an example of democracy, of course. And not an example of respect for the rights of individuals. And not an example of government serving people. It would not be an example: of the recognition of the basic rights of human beings. ~nd it surely would not be an example of respe!:ting the ireligious convictions of people. . /' It would be a perfect example of the tr~nd which. starts by allowing and then move on to encouraging and then ends up by enforcing a certain point of view. '

Television '8 Lessons s. I. Hayakawa is a world-famed

expert in words and .their use to communicate. He has said that the avedge eighteen-year old has watched about 22,000 hours of t~le­ vision. And he draws certain conclusions from this.

One is that a person does not have to relate to a t~le­ vision set. He merely sits passively and lets it affect him.

The answer lies in communication within the horbe.

Parents must not allow the television set to become a cheap baby-sitter when they themselves dO.10'0t feel like talking with their children and setting up the .elaborate interplay of dialogue between parents' and children loat teaches all and each how to relate to others. . I Parents must teach children how to be creative'how to be active participants in the .game of life and rtot passive persons merely being acted upon by outside forces.

Parents' must teach children how to relate to other people, and this is done by creating a warm family spirit where the home is a hap'py and welcome place of single individuals brought into a unity by mutual respect and concern and love.

Hayakawa points out that another effect of the te:levision age is to create a "now" generation that takes its clue from what television has to offer. On the TV screen, if a· person has any problem he needs simp:ty to buy a certain car, or use a certain soap or purchase a certain prodilct and immediately his problem is resolved - right now. ' .

On the TV ~ screen, the most complicated skein of problems can open the program and within an hour or so all complications are unwound and all difficulties cle~red up - right now.

Bring that over· into life and there is trouble. While problems should be solved quickly in life, the fact is that life is not that simple and its problems not that eas~ly resolved. In real life there must be patience and kindness and sometimes maddening stowness. This is not tele~i­ sion'S way.

Television has a wonderful place in people's lives.

But not all of its lessons can be or should be carried over into real life. . :

Servant of All 'The Best Way I can Serve My God, My.Church and My State./ Say New.Ter-n. Bishop

NASHVILLE (NC) - Bishop Joseph A. Durick has assured the Catholics of his Tennessee diocese that as Ordinary he will continue the programs begun since he became apostolic administrator in 1966.

The 54-year-old bishop called Tennessee "a microcosm of our nation, its hopes and its pi-oblems." Its· major cities and smaller communities "contain something of the classic problems of all pur American cities: poverty, housing shortages, crime and racial mistrust and misunderstanding."

And, he added, the atomic and space age are not far away. "Inaeed," he said, "I have come from missions to missiles.

"And I feel the Church has an obligation to be the servant of , I man in all these areas-helping solve urban and rural problems, adding a moral dimension to the world of science and dedicating . ourselves anew to be a servant of man - not the servant of machines nor buildings nor even political systems, but the servant of man."

As the new Bishop of Nashville he pledged "to those of our own faith that I will make use of every' resource, .that I will spare no energy, that I will keep I every line of communication open to attain the triple goals of unity, Christian edu~ation and spiritual renewal.

"And to all Tennesseans I make the commitment to redouble my efforts to seek human . dignity for all men regardess of their ra~e, their political philosophy or their church affiliation.

First Native Born "I am a Tennessean and I am here as the s.ervant of all my fellow Tennesseans. I feel this is the best way I can serve my God, my Church and my state." .

Bishop Durick is the first native-born Tennessean among the eight bishops who have headed the Nashville diocese during the 132-year history of OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF F'(~LL RIVER i the Catholic Church in the state.

He established Project Equality here in 1967. The Tennessee project, designed to improve equal employment opportunities for Negroes, was the first of its kind in the South. He now serves as chairman of the board' of Project Equality. Bishop Durick is also a member of the Tennessee State Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

School Queries Continued from· Page Eleven erly subordinated one to another so that the educational philosophy of the Christian community can evolve and be coordinantIy articulated in terms of a true concensus and the common good."

Father Murdick asserted "there can be no question of whether we should be engaged in the work of -Christian education." He said Vatican II recognizes and states we must be committed as a people: to the goal of Christian formation' not merely in terms of the indispensable and primary influence of the Christian home but in terms of educational programs and institutions operated in behalf of the larger Christian cl?mmunity.

Leadership Role "Establishing the, objectives of Catholic educational institutions today is ~n exciting, terribly important kind of responsibility," the diocesan superintendent told the Minnesota educators. .

"It relates not only to the difficult questions of what are the educational needs of a spaceage Christian, but what are the responsibilities of the Christian community to provide educational opportunity beyond the limits of the Catholic community to the disadvantaged and others * * * whose educational needs lay a claim on our readiness and ability to serve." , It is here, Father Murdick observed, that "the board may need to play a leadership role with reference to the community it serves, enlisting support for its decisions to provide educational opportunity for the poor and those' not of the household of the faith."

Continued from Page One give them reasoning' tools so they'll have the sense of religion when they're older." , "This type of teacning demands that the teacher be a real Christian," she noted. "It isn't just a set of facts that can pass. ' from teacher to student without affecting either.'; Parents will be more involved in Johnny and Mary's CCD classes as time goes on, said McDonagh. "It's a sneaky way of educating adults along with the children," he admitted.

One parish where new techniques will be tried of necessity is St. Patrick's, Somerset. There the parish house has been declared unsafe for use, so the CCD program has been forced to move into parish homes.

Under direction of Rev. Robert McGowan, a team of crack catechists will conduct a"crash training program" for some 100" parishioners who will then hold regular living room CCD sessions for eight or so youngsters apiece. It is hoped that small groups and less formal teaching situations will aid in getting the Good News across.

The experiment, needless to say, will be watched with interest at "headquarters," and if successful may influence procedures in other parts of the Diocese.

Teachers' Opinions What do CCD teachers themselves think of the new approach? Paul Guy, a teacher of French at New Bedford High School by day and an instruCtor of' sophomore and junior CCD classes at St. Kilian's parish by night, has one word to describe today's techl')iques: "Great!"

His students will hold monthly rather than weekly CCD sessions, "but they'll be long - at least two hours." On the agenda will be discussions, films and liturgical celebrations.

"We live in a complicated age," opines Guy, "and the new methods reflect our searching together in catechetical as in all other fields. We can no longer look for the clearcut answers of the Baltimore Catechism, but the directions that we do have are coming from fine people."

Mrs. John Giabbi, longtime CCD teacher at St. Patrick's parish, ,Falmouth, has taught both old and new-style catechetics and prefers th~ new methods.

"The children understand better," she said. "They're not . learning by rote and they're not afraid to ask questions."

40,000 Children Throughout the Diocese, some' 40,000 children are enrolled in <;::CD programs, estimates McDonagh. About 1100 adults have taken CCD training courses in the past year, "not counting the thousands who have been reached by various parish programs, discussion groups and so forth."

The CCD offices, headquarters at 446 Highland Avenue,' Fall River, and the' newly-opened branch at 141 Main Street, Buzzards Bay, 'stand ready to aid parishes and individual teachers in any and every way. Regular CCD courses will begin in midOctober at convenient locations throughout the Diocese with subjects and times to be announced shortly. In the meantime, assistance is no farther than a telephone. In Fall River the CCD number is 676·3036 and in Buzzards Bay it's 759-7305.

Gift of Life The most we can get out of life is its discipline for ourselves, and its usefulness for others.

Directors Favor Sex Education In Schools DENVER (NC)-Directors of diocesan family life bureaus around the country have reaffirmed their support for programs of sex education.

In a statement issued after a meeting here they said: "In light of the confusion that has been generated by the present public controversy, we wish to renew our commitment to develop wisely-planned programs of family life and sex education, and to reassure parents and school personnel that their cooperative efforts are necessary, valuable, and immensely beneficial to young people."

Recently, the Family Life Division, United States Catholic Conference, conducted a survey to determine what is actually taking place in sex education in the various dioceses throughout the country. The diocesan superintendents of schools in 116 dioceses returned the questionnaires.

Assist Family Of those, 20 dioceses indicated a diocesan-wide sex education program was underway; 32 dioceses said a program is projected for 1969-70; and 22 more plan to implement them within the next two ,years.

The statement issued at the directors' meeting explained that the value and necessity of wisely planned programs of education in human sexuality have always been emphasized in their diocesan family life programs.

"Recognizing that the primary responsibility for sex education belongs to the parents, we also realize that we.., must assist the family in fUlfilling this task," the directors' statement said.

Quote Bishops Based on the recommendations of the U. S. bishops' pastoral letter, Human Life in Our Day, and the Guidelines for Formation of a Program of Sex Education issued by the Family Life Division, USCC, and the National Catholic Educational Association in April, the present statement quoted the bishops' letter: "This obligation can be met either by systematic provision of such education in the diocesan school curriculum or by' the inauguration of acceptable educational programs under other diocesan auspices, including the CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine)."

Besides sex education, the family life directors also discussed child development, a theological-pastoral perspective on the Church's leadership role in response to today's social problems, family life education and mixed marriages.

146 to Participate In Bishops' Synod ROME (NC) - One hundred and forty-six prelates are slated to take part in the forthcoming Synod of Bishops which opens in Rome Oct. 11, and which is expected to last only two weeks.

Bishop Ladislaw Rubin, permenent secretary of the synod, told a press conference here that the preparatory document sent to the world's bishops for study last May aimed only at episc'opal conferences, their relations with the Holy See and relations among themselves.

This document, he said, "does not pretend to resolve all, but only to single out various aspects of the subject."

Still more unusual, one of the priests is now St. Francis Xavier's pastor. He i~ Rev. Aurele E. Pepi n, sS.ee. The nun, Sister Mary Paul, was for a long time stationed at been going strong for three Sacred Hearts Academy, years.

Ernest Sorelle, choose non-offensive discussion S.J., is an all but indispensable member of the academic community of Taiwan, Republic of China. On home leave due to the illness of his mother, Mrs. Clara Sorelle, he seized the opportunity for a reunion with Father Pepin.

Among topics of conversatiqns was the amount of the world that's been seen by Father Ernest and his brother, Rev. Paul Sorelle, W.F. Between them they've logged time in Ethiopia, Uganda, Canada', all parts of Europe, and, of course, Taiwan.

Father Paul is now serving as United States provincial for his community, the White Fathers,' reported his brother, and is traveling harder than ever, although most of his journeying is from place to place in the U. S. Always China As for Father Ernest, he decided '''in grade school that I wanted to be a missionary in China." His dream took a long time to fulfill however. He entered the French Canadian province of the Society of Jesus in 1949, taught in Ethiopia for three years as a Jesuit scholastic, returned to Canada for theology studies and for ordination in 1960 by Cardinal Leger, then at last was assigned to Taiwan.

Not for long, however. After a year artd a half in language school, he left Taiwan for Austria and a year of further spiritual formation known as tertianship. This was followed by a few months study of student problems in Germany and then at last the grade school dream was realized and in 1965 Father Ernest returned to Taiwan to serve the people of Free China.

Four Languages As if to make up for lost time, he's hardly stopped for breath since. He works with the students of two universities and one combination high schoolcollege, teaches catechism and academic subjects and on weekends he helps in an area parish.

All this is done in four languages: French, German, Chinese and English.

Father Ernest teaches the French and German at Tung Hai University, a Protestant institution where he's the only priest on the faculty. The Chinese and

Meeting to Discuss Arms Limitations WASHINGTON (NC) - In an effort to help create a climate in which a rational solution to the problem of war can take place, churchmen from the United States and the Soviet Union will meet in ,St. Louis to discuss "The Christian Concern for Arms Limitations."

They will meet in closed sessions with theologians, bishops, and experts on armaments and international affairs.

A joint statement might be issued at the conclusion of the conference, according to Father Patrick P. McDermoft, S.J., assistant director for peace, division of world justice and peace, United States Catholic Conference, who is making arrangements for the meet.ing.

TAIWAN JESUIT: Rev. Ernest Sorelle, S.J., Acushnet native, is 'member of academic community in Taiwan. He wears bu.siness suit due to government ruling against clerical attire. '

English come into play for catechism and English-language classes and for his weekend parish work.

"I speak Mandarin Chinese," 'he explained, "and ..the other priest in the parish speaks Cantonese, so we alternate Masses and in that way the people speaking either language can have sermons they understand at least every other week."

Liturgy Problems Introduction of liturgical changes is somewhat of a problem in Taiwan, said Father Ernest, because of the use of Mandarin and Cantonese and the difficulty foreign priests have in properly using contemporary language in the Mass prayers.

Very encouraging, however, is the progress of ecumenical dialogue among Protestant and Catholic missionaries on the island. Father Ernest said that a discussion group including Presbyterians, Methodists, Anglicans Lutherans and Catholics has

Request Prelates Consider Celibacy PEORIA (NC), ---, Resolutions urging the U. S. bishops to consider the question of optional celibacy for priests and to consult more closely, with priests were adopted at the convention here of the Chicago province of the National Federation of Priests' Councils.

The meeting rejected a resolution which would have flatly endorsed optional celibacy for priests. But it agreed to a poll of delegates on the issue, and of those voting, 56 were in favor of optional celibacy, 16 were opposed and five abstained.

A total of about 100 priestdelegates attended the meeting.

The number present had dwindled by the time of the poll, however, and only 77 were counted in the tally.

Outlook of Church

Urges Tolerance For All Religious BOMBAY (NC) - Joint celebration of religious festivals as a step toward "national integration" was called for at an ecumenical meeting here.

The meeting of the standing committee of the -Maharashtra Ekta (Integration), of which Valerian Cardinal Gracias is a member, also appealed for "sustained educational efforts" to instill in the people mutual respect and tolerance for all religions.

The meeting of Hindu, Moslem and Parsi leaders and of the cardinal's representative, Msgr.

Simon Pimenta, was headed by Maharashtra state's chief minister, V.P. Naik, who urged a "rational approach" toward the religious practices that often touch off communal disturbances.

The meeting came against a background of tension in some parts of the state, provoked by Hindus who insist on noisyreligious processsions outside Moslem mosques and by Moslems who offend Hindu feelings by slaughtering cows in public places.

ST. PAUL (NC)-The National Association of Laymen (NAL), "by its very presence," has altered the outlook of the Church somewhat, according to Donald Nicodemus of Washington, D. C., lay theologian and NAL's executive vice-president.

Nicodemus, who has described NAL as "revolutionary, but not wild-eyed radical," said here that the organization and its affiliates like the local Association of Christians for Church Renewal find themselves opposed by those who "object to reform" and those with an "outmoded view" of Christ and His teachings.

N'ot Wort-hTrouble tOl' GrOVI T,omat,oes, Say Farm4ers

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick This is the sad story of the plight of the f.ast-vanish,ing New England farmer and the ever-frustrated consu~er.

For years the Rodericks have been far~ers, from my gra~d­ father to his children and his grandchildren, but the family occupation has been on the wane for some years now be quaint, rustic or any o~her term, but rest assu'red, and for good reason. This nostalgic he will not be .with us long. past Summer my uncles In. the ,Kitchen grew tomatoes on the family farm in Dighton and here are a few facts for your consideration and possibly illumination.

The tomato-growing process begins in the Spring when the vegetables are seeded in a greenhouse (which requires heating, at considerable cost), the seeds are grown and nurtured and then' transplanted to a special soil mixture in flats.

From their home in the green-house the seedlings are then placed in' cold frames until they are ready to, be planted in the fields. The fields are plowed, cultivated and fertilized and must be ,continuously cultivated after they receive the - young plants. If the 'farmer is fortunate he gets sufficient rain or if,he is less fortunate he must irrigate at great cost and inconvenience.

Six Week Season After all this he has a picking season of about six weeks. During these weeks, of course, he must make that part of his farming pay. At the present time tomatoes are packed in cardboard cartons (at .35c a carton). ,Each carton, contains approximately 23. pounds. of tc,>ma-, toes.

A conservative estimate is that the cost to the farmer for picking, packing, sorting, cleaning, etc. is approximately 15c for each carton. The tomatoes are shipped to Boston to a commission house or wholesaler for about 15c a carton. This is cheaper if the farmer has his own truck, but is still an expense. All produce is sold through the wholesaler at a commission of 10 per cent.

The cost thus far to the farmer, not including the commission, is approximately 65c per carton.

This does not include fertilizer, the cost of a truck and tractor, labor, heat for the greenhouse, etc.

This past Summer price per carton averaged a little less than $2. If we take out the commission we get the grand total of $1.80 which actually comes back to the farmer. Deduct all his costs and we find the farmer making about $.80 on a carton of tomatoes, hardly enough to make the process worthwhile. / The consumer:, though, is paying from .39 to .40 a pound for tomatoes. Two weeks ago they were wholesaling for $1.25 a carton but selling for .35 a pound in the supermarket. At $2 per carton the cost of tomatoes is about 9c a pound to the supermarket. At $1.25 a ,carton the cost is a little more than 5c a pound.

And yet we are told that prices are not high. Considering that the farmer is making less than 4c a pound, the whole, saler about 4/10 of a cent a pound, the disparity is hard to believe. Even considering waste, the profit realized by' the supermarket at 30c a pound has to be at least 10c a pound, and this has to be a very conservative figure. ' At any rate, let it be known that the farmer in this area has , no chance of survival. He may

School erids at 3:30 and my' family likes to dine at (would you 'believe) 5. That leaves approximately an hour and a ,half to prepare a ,decent meal from start to fi~ish.

Even Julia Child eould use' a: bit more time than that.

The first week back to school I plotted my menu for the riext two weeks and shopped accordingly. If there was any reyipe that could be made or started the night before, I did it, and if; there was some recipe th~t I could prepare on my noon hC;lUr, I made allowances for that. :All'. in all it worked out very well.

Planning the -Key Planning is the key to any success that I want toachi'eve in feeding a family on the fun.

With planning you don't run :out of that item that is essential'to a recipe (there is nothing more frustrating than beginning a meal after a, long day at work and finding out th~~:r..You hav,n't half the ingredients needec;l.)

Planning guarantE!es that you're' not spending money on quic!de extras and that your family is getting fed as well as they would if you were a full-time homemaker.

While you are doing all this ' "cooking on paper" you can also allow for those nights when tiredness or time overwhelms you and the evening meal tutns out to be bacon and eggs: or waffles. If it's a bacon and egg night I try to throw in a 'little something extra like popov,ers so the gang won't feel too ne~ glected. This particular little item takes about thfeie minutes to prepare and will bring raves from the audience.

At the end of the two week period I try to dean out ~y freezer and start nIl over again.

While I certainly don't have all the answers on how to keep a family happy I do feerthat what' works for me as a typical working wife and mott!er could possibly help, make some other working woman's life a' little easier.

Italian Law Rome Court Says Father Determ"ines Child's Religious Training ROME (NC3-In a suit involving a Jewish father and a Catholic mother, a Rome court has ruled that the father of a child has the civil right 'to determine the religious training of his child.

The first -section of the Rome civil court ruled that the choice of 'religious education to be given to his children belongs to the father by virtue of the fact that he is head-of the family. - , ; Appraently this' is the first time such a question has come before Italian courts. The decision is in keeping -with the general interpretation of Italian law involving parents and children: for example, nalian law and most other European law hold that,

Asserts Liturgical Meeting Unliturgical MILWAUKEE (NC)-An editorial in the Catholic lIerald weekly, has called the National Liturgical Conference, which recently held its annual convention here, "unliturgical.'~ The editorial described the delegates as "sincere, dedicated, enthusiastic and joyful." Speaking of the Mass which climaxed the convention, it said "there was ail aura of love and camara~ derie that would be difficult to surpass. The hug or handshake -it was optional--of peace was extended with an intention and fervor that Christians of all persuasions would do well to -emulate."

But it asked whether the conference "paraded under false colors. For the week-long series of events had only the most tenuous link with the definition of liturgy as an act of public worship." ntlu"""'''''''.''''n''mmllll''''lIIt1l''!'U'U",U,U'''"U"'""""".....""U",",,,'IlI""mll

unless for specific variations, the citizenship of a child is determined by the father's citizenship.

The family involved, which was left unnamed, was composed of a father of the Jewish faith and a mother of the Catholic I faith who had one child.

The couple were legally separated some years ago and the boy, now seven years old, lived with, the mother.

'According-+td court-'reports;she refused to permit the child to be educated in the Jewish religion and without informing the father, had the child secretly baptized and had him receive Communion.

In its ruling, the court stated that the father, as head of the family, is the one to decide on the religious education to be given to. the children, "obviously, so long as there are no valid reasons for legitimate impediment."

Advises School Boards Decide Policies Openly BOISE (NC) - Members_ of neWly formed Catholic school boards of the Boise diocese were advised here in Idaho to arrive at school policies openly-and then spell them out in written form.

Father Olin J. Murdick, superintendent of education for the Saginaw, Mich., 'diocese and a pioneer in the U. S. Catholic school board movement, asserted that "parents, parishioners and the school's public * * * appreciate an administration that is visible and credible in terms of written policies-policies arrived at openly -by a representative and responsible board."

CINCINNATI (NC) - The Catholic Commission on Poverty of the Cincinnati archdiocese has asked Ohio and Hamilton county officials to· increase the clothing allowance for children in welfare families. Cincinnati is the county seat of Hamilton county.

The commission, headed by Bishop Edward A. McCarthy, adopted a resolution calling for raising the present $5 allowance to "a more realistic amount of $75 a year."

The resolution said commission members "deplore the fact that the clothing allowance for children on the Aid to Dependent Children program is limited to $5 a child for an entire year."

It_ also called attention to the fact that "some increased grants" have been given to landlords seeking higher rent, while no increase has been granted "to meet real colthing costs."

The commission asked for "immediate action of all who have power to act to recognize the need and to conscientiously do their duty" to provide the $75 annual allowance.

Dutch Bishops Stress Need for Dialogue THE HAGUE (NC)-In a letter to all Dutch priests inviting them to a national consultation in November, the Dutch bishops said that they are "consci~nce­ bound to remain in touch with priests' councils and with 'the views of the faithful" The bishops said that they consider open discussions between bishops and other Catholics, particularly between bishops and priests, a great necessity. ..

The consultation will be held at Noordwijerhout Nov. 24 and 25 to discuss the life and work of priests, one of the topics to be discussed at the fourth session of the Dutch National Pastoral Council in January, 1970.

Men's Turn N,ow to Take Share of Fas,hi,on Budget

The day of the conservative Madison Avenue executive in the grey flannel suit is on the wane as more and more of the males of the species begin to flaunt their plumage.

Colors are in and even sue h colorful women's accessory designers as Vera are getting into the act by ~elpirtg to design a package deal mcluding a bold-colored shirt and a coordinating tie.

This blend is planned to prevent those early morning blues when you're trying to decide which tie your husband should wear to work. All your worries are solved when he wears the deep pink shirt he wears the "styled.to-match" tie.

Striped Shirts Striped shirts are -making a strong pUll for first place in the shirt line. They come in all colors and run (dollar-wise) anywhere from $3.98 to $19.50 for the ready to wear line. Ties of many designs accept these striped favorites and even bold. paisleys look well. .

Plaids are starting to become popular for males and now you don't have to be a toddler to wear a black watch blazer. Most striking in this line are the bright plaid slacks, especially those with red as the main color.

The watch plaid just mentioned is quite handsome in a suit (really sold as separate slacks and a jacket) or even in the jacket alone, with a contrasting plain colored vest.

Vests are still in and they do, look well on most men. If a man is slim to begin with they look quite elegant on him and if he has a slight paunch they even manage to camouflage that. One year- I made Joe a camel hair vest and I still think it looks dapper even if the buttons do keep falling off.

My conservative husband will consent to wear a vest; in fact, he rather likes one but when I try to get him to put a little dash into his wardrobe he fights me all the way, using that old logic that he can't afford to buy clothes that can only be worn for certain occasions or slacks that can only be worn with one jacket. This past Father's Day I got my way though and bought him a pair of checked slacks. He wasn't thrilled but he did have to accept them, seeing that they were a gift.

Of course, what has always amazed me is that women's clothes cost so much more than men's for the same type of garment. While there are very few style conscious women today who would hestiate to pay $20 for a blouse, those same women would think more than twice about paying that amount for ,their husband's shirts; and sur-, prisingly enough those same husbands would probably get twice the wear out of their shirts that they would out of their blouses.

Several days before the picketing, effort was made with Toledo's Labor· Management - Citizens Committee for a mediation session. Bishop John A.

SLADE'S FERRY TRUST COMPANY

Continue Effort to Establish Good Sex Education Program in Schools WASHINGTON (NC) - Conspiracy theories are certainly nothing new to Capitol Hill.

Long before the days of Joe McCarthy it became used to hearing a steady stream of Congressmen and their constituents construct elaborate, if not always logical, webs of intrique that invariably spel1ed the proximate demise of the Republic.

But even the most cynical Washingtonian, struggling thru an afternoon mel10wed by a long lunch at the Carroll Arms, had to pause after the recent visit of William and Lillian Drake.

The Drakes, who hail from California, used to run Freedom Press, which long ago sold out its right-wing philosophies to the American Mercury (the one that followed Mencken, not the one he ran).

The Drakes' message was simple, not to say simplistic: sex education in schools is part of a plot by the government, the United Nations, the National Council of Churches, the publishing industry and-let's see, have we forgotten anyone?oh yes, the psychologists, who invented the secret weapon of the conspiracy, sensitivity training.

And if the theory were not made clear in the Drakes' press conference, they had some visual aid: a film called "Pavlov's Children" which was later shown to Congressmen and their wives.

Equally Astounding "Pavlov's Children" establishes its credibility by illustrating the similarity between symbols of SEICUS-the Sex Inforamtion and Education Council of the United States-and the Nazi party, the swastika. It goes on to tell how Pavlovian psychological techniques are used to brainwash American school children.

All of this courtesy of Rep. Alphonso Bell of Los Angeles who, while denying knowledge of the Drakes, obligingly furnished them with rooms for their press conference and screening in the Rayburn House Office Building.

It should be remembered that while the Drakes, the John Birch Society and the Christian Crusade shout conspiracy, the partisans of the far left are propoS" ing some equally astounding things.

Concerned Action One might draw some lessons from all this: that Americans really do have some monumental hangups about sex, or that Americans at least are involved in a controversy of massive proportions over the future of school sex education.

Neither proposition may be true, however. While the Drakes were utilizing the hospitality of Rep. Bell and while the books containing the theories of the radical left are reaping publicity -and practically no sales路 for the publishers-the vast segment

Archdiocese Helps Inner City Schools MILWAUKEE (NC)-The Milwaukee archdiocese has allotted $406,000 to nine inner city grade schools to assure operations for the current academic year, Archbishop William E. Cousins has reported.

The schools include seven which have severed parish ties to become community centered 'and two which are considering the plan.

The community school con路 cept involves operation independent of the parish, separate incorporation and administrative control by a 'board of parents', educators and consultants.

of the public seems to be going its own way of conscientious, concerned action.

For example: Since last Spr:.ng, when the National Catholic Educational Association ana the Family Life Division of the U.S. Catholic Conference published a handbook on sex education for parents, more than 30,000 copies have been sold. The orders are still running high.

So are requests for a similar teachers' handbook, published only last month. And guidelines issued this summer. And shelves of reprints and other informational material.

To Father James McHugh, director of the Family Life Division, the message is clear: "An awful lot of people have spent the Summer working very hard to set up good sex education programs in their local schools."

Anglicans Convert To Catholicism TRIVANDRUM (NC)~A clergymen who holds a responsible position in the Anglican Nandyal diocese here in India has claimed that the present trend of the people of his See is "toward the Roman Catholic Church."

The Anglican priest made the statement in a letter to the Rev. Nandyal Benjamin, who last June led a group of five Anglican priests in joining the Roman Catholic Church.

The conversion was the signal for large-scale defections of laity in the Anglican diocese, located in Andhra Pradesh state: early in August the number of Anglican lay converts to the Catholic Church was estimated at 3,000.

The converts are dissatisfied over a choice given to their diocese of joining either the existing Church of South India, which combines several denominations, or the Church of North India, now being planned.

Ask Holy Father Chang'e Present Synod Set..up

New SMU Nursing Sc~ool Dean Has Headed St, Anne's School ·Almost 30 Years

DAYTON (NC) - Fifteen North American theologians and other Church experts called on Pope Paul to do

By Patricia McGowan

away with the present set-up of the Synod of Bishops and asked that he increase its collegial nature.

They were careful to point out that their demands are not an attack on the Pope's primacy, and they asked that the Pope personally take part in the synod's working sessions, to begin in Rome on Oct. 11.

The changes were called for by the experts meeting at a symposium sponsored by the Canon Law Society of America at the Bergamo Center for Renewal at the University of Dayton.

Undoubtedly they will have no affect on the coming synod, and the experts rely only on hope that the changes would be made for future synods, said a symposium participant, Father Francis Maurovich, editor of the Catholic Voice, Oakland, Calif., diocesan newspaper.

Permanent Form A statement issued by the symposium delegates pointed out that when Pope Paul established the synod, he said that it, like all human institutions, "can be still more perfected with the passage of time."

They said "the time has come to give the Synod of Bishops a more permanent form so that the collegial nature of the Church may be more adequately realized and more effectively accomplished."

In outling theological foundations for collegiality, the symposium said the Church "is necessarily collegial in its structure and government because it is collegial in its nature and in its biblical origins."

They said the primacy of the Pope is a primacy within, rather than over, the episcopal college.

"This area desperately needs a qualified collegiate school of nursing." That's why.

Sister' Madeleine Clemence, since 1940 director of St. Anne's Hospital School of Nursing in Fall River, has become dean of the newly formed school of nursing at Southeastern Massachusetts University, North Dartmouth.

Sis'ter Madeleine envisions the college-trained nurse as being able to provide a patient with pre- and post-hospital care, in that she will have a concern with preventive medicine and public health, and with preparing a patient for post-hospital problems such as how to live with the knowledge of cancer or a heart condition.

Nursing, as Sister Madeleine sees it, is a demanding profession, and she is a demanding woman, expecting and getting the best from her fortunate students. She'll / do the same at SMU.

Boston Archdiocese Survey Favors School Board BOSTON (NC) - Richard by the Cardinal more than a ago to conduct an in-depth Cardinal Cushing has direc- year study of local Catholic educated formation of a Board of , tional facilities.

Cardinal Cushing said the surEducation for the Boston archdiocese and directed that its "responsibilities shall extend to all policy matters related to the educational activities of the archdiocese."

The board's juri~diction will include all Catholic parish schools and the archdiocesan high school system.

Massive' Compilation Acting after receipt of a report from a team of education experts, the Boston Ordinary disclosed that the suggestion for the Board of Education headed the list of recommendations made by a steering committee in connection with a survey conducted by the New' England Catholic Education Center which was authorized

vey, submitted to him confidentially, "is a massive compilation which will take a long time to study and an even longer time to implement with success."

'We Will Stay' ,路"The first survey recommendation, and the most important one, is our continuing commitment to Catholic education in the archdiocese," the Cardinal declared.

"Despite what you may hear elsewhere, we are not getting out of the 'education business;' we belong there, and we will stay there. Our aim will be to strengthen our present educational resources wherever this is poss,ible and to continue the pursuit of excellence in all our

institutions," he continued.

Formation of the Board of Education is the No. 2 recommendation, he said, noting the board "will assist us in establishing further guidelines I for our schools and long range planning on a diocesan basis."

Calling the survey "the most complete data collection ever made of our schools," the Cardinal plans to submit' it to the board for study and implementation.

The report ultimately will affect 143,000 pupils in the archdiocese's elementary and high school system. Comprising six volumes, the survey report focuses special attention on problems of the inner-city, suggesting sweeping studies on tuition, need for continued research into the general field of Catholic education and other pertinent matters.

Priests Endorse Limited Tenure For Pastors

THE Al'ICHORThurs., Sept. 25, 1969

Seton Hall ContInued from Page One was to be named shortly. Msgr.

Fleming became acting president when Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty of Newark resigned in June because of the press of other duties.

Msgr. Fleming is known to be among the candidates being considered by the board and a source close to the trustees said that if he does become the choice his appointment might be announced before the academic year has run its course. Otherwise, an announcement on a permanent successor is expected no later than Scptemb~r of 1970.

BROOKLYN (NC) - The Priests' of the Brooklyn diocese endorsed limited tenure for pastors to provide "more efficient administration of the Church" and as a "method for greater utilization of personnel."

The resolution adopted at the Senate's September meeting also called for a study day for priests of the diocese followed by a poll of all the clergy on the tenure issue.

The resolution was' sponsored

by Father Vincent Powell, pastor of St. Kevin's parish in the Flushing section, and said limited tenure of pastors would implement the most basic restruc" turing of clerical and pastoral life undertaken by any diocese in the country. The resolution said the Paris, France, archdiocese has taken such a step.

Bishop Francis J. Mugavero of Brooklyn proposed the issue to the senate in June. He released a memorandum from his personnel board proposin'g a system of six·year terms, twice renewable after evaluation, and asked for senate discussion of the suggestion.

Major Obstacles Senate debate of the proposal brought out two major obstacles: any plan must insure the primary goal of bringing younger men to administrative responsi· bility; and adequate provisfon must be made for priests who have relinquished administrative responsibility.

Criticism of the personnel board's proposal questioned its ability to alter substantially ex· isting practice. Men now become pastors at about age 55. Three six-year terms would keep them in office almost until the present retirement age of 75.

Father John Mahoney, diocesan personnel director, told the meeting, that once any stigma were removed from a man's reo tirement from administration, more priests would voluntarily step down after three, six or 12 years. The three-term provision meant to cover only the outside limit.

Cursillo Leaders Face Problem of Attra.cting Attendance at Post-Cursillo Meetings

By Patricia McGowan

What happens after you've made a Cursillo? For many in the Fall River Diocese, the answer is nothing. Hundreds of men and women have by now had the unique' three day experience of a Cursillo retreat, yet very few are following it up. Cursillo organizers are wondering why. At a national Cursillo symposium held this Summer in Cleveland, the question was high a month is a more likely gan of these leaders, and they on the agenda. It's furrow- once goal. They may vary from small feel that concentration should ing brows, too, at La Salette gatherings over coffee or even be upon developing the excel· Center for Christian Living on church steps following Mass lence of meetings for the in Attleboro and Holy Cross 'Retreat House in North Easton, the two Diocesan centers for Cur· sillo retreats.

At a Cursillo, partidpants are told that the really important part of their experience comes after they've left the retreat house. It's explained that a fire must have fuel, that the flame of the love of Christ which has been kindled during the Cursillo will soon go out if it's not replen· ished. The founders, of the Cur· sillo movement provided for this . replenishment by means of periodic meetings of Cursillistas "to encourage one another, to renew their spirit of friendship, to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the divine life of grace, and to inflame their zeal as apostles."

Such meetings ideally should come weekly, but realistically

Jesuit's View Provision for men after retirement was said to be as much a question of psychological con· ditioning of priests and people, as it is a matter of retirement facilities and procedures.

Father William Gleason, S.J., one of the two senators repre-, senting religious communities, said terms of pastorate cause few tensions in religious communities.

"But," he explained, "the life of a religious community is different from that of the diocesan priesthood. Our sense of stability Puerto Ricans Ask: is different.

Form Committee Msgr. Fleming, meanwhile, was resting in St. Vincent's Hospital, MontClair, recovering from exhaustion and hypertension result· ing from the controversy. His hospitalization resulted in the cancellation of an outdoor Mass which some student leaders had requested and which he had agreed to celebrate.

The students requesting the Mass said the intention was for the restoration of campus unity.

At its meeting the board of trustees made plans to orgnize a committee to recommend can· didates for the position of president. The committee is to have equal representation of students, faculty, administration and alum· ni and is to propose from three to five names.

Proposed Changes Involve Holy See DAYTON (NC)-The head of the Canadian bishops conference said here proposal of changes between the Holy See and national bishops conferences were designed for closer contact with the Pope by bishops and the people of the Church.

Bishop Alexander Carter of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., president of the Canadian Catholic Conference, attended a symposium . sponsored by the Canon Law Society of America at the University of Dayton here.

A group of 15 theologians and other Church. experts drew up proposals calling for changes in relations between the Holy See and national conferences of bishops, as .well as scrapping the present agenda for the Rome Synod of Bishops, slated to be· gin Oct. II, in favor of one of a greater collegial nature.

Prelates Defend Veneration of Mary Encourage Recitation of Rosary WAHROONGA (NC) - The Australian bishops have defended the veneration of the Blessed Mother and the "place of honor" that the rosary "rightly holds * * * in these days of more active participation of the faithful in the liturgy."

In a statement issued at the end of their meeting here, the bishops said that the "veneration of Mary is just as appropriate in the postconciliar Church" as it was in the past.

They also claimed that "sound psychological research" has shown that repeating prayersas is done by reciting the 53 Hail Marys in the rosary-is not necessarily a "vain repetition."

In saying the rosary, the bishops' statement continued, "we bring before our minds as vividly as possible the events suggested by each mystery'" '" '" as though we ourselves were pres-

ent at the event so desctibed."

In this way, they explained, "the sense of repetition is eliminated."

They recommended that during October Catholics pray for the success of the Synod of Bishops in Rome while they are are reciting the rosary.

In another statement, the bishops cited the large numbers of men, women and children who have suffered in the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, and appealed to the Australian government and people to take steps to alleviate the misery' and suffering of these people.

CASTELGANDOLFO '(NC) Paul VI has exhorted a group of Slovak pilgrims to be faithful to their traditions, fearless in their convictions and united in their acts of charity.

"This is the exhortation I want to leave with you," he told more than 500 pilgrims, their bishops and priests from the diocese of Kosice in eastern Czechoslovakia who visited him at his Summer residence here.

Also present were hundreds of American and Canadian pilgrims of Slovak descent, including Bishop Andrew Grutka of Gary, Ind. "Be faithful as you have been throughout your history, even in the midst of trials and oppositions, faithful to your authentic Christian and Catholic faiths," he said.

"Be fearless, because by not compromising with the antievangelistic mentality which all too often permeates today's world, you may profess your convictions...

He also asked them to be united in prayer and charity "in order to give to the world that testimony which is expected of the true Christian: not words but acts; not hesitations but examples; not doubts and contestations but coherence and fusion of mind and of heart."

He said a tangible proof of their charity has been their spirit of generosity in offering aid to the suffering victims of the Nigerian-Biafran civil war.
