Church's central administrative body. The Holy Father said the Curia has "grown ponderous with its own venerable age." The Pope announced his plpn to the cardinals, priests and lay men of the curia at a special audience. The curia reforms, he stated, "will be formulated and promulgated by the Curia it self." He outlined some re forms: Members of the Curia will be recruited on a "supernational" basis. At present its membership is predominantly Italian. Members will receive what the Pope called an "ecumenical" education in preparation for the Curia work. Local bishops will take over functions now performed by the curia which can be handled more efficiently on a local basis.

And this Summer, hundreds of Diocesan Catholics met the man behind the columns as they at tended a unique combination of tape recording, slide-showing and lecture by Father Mitchell. Idea of Council The program which Father Mitchell gave some 21 times be fore various parish and Diocesan groups, was, as he says, an at tempt to "get the idea of the CQuncil across to people." An expert amateur photogra pher, he re~orded the events of the past year in Rome in scores of color shots. These were com bined with a tape-recorded com mentary enlivened by such sound effects as the singing of the Sistine Choir, the voices of Pope John and Pope Paul, and the singing by the Council Fathers of "Ubi Caritas," hymn opening each day's proceedings. Ninety per cent of the slides were taken by Father Mitchell himself, with the occasional aid . , fellow students. A friendly TurD to Pale EiehteeA

will be highly significant for Christian life. Religious, priests, laymen, and bishops will see their existence in a new light. The relations between one and the other will be clearer, mak ing for more effective coopera tion and collaboration. This is highly to be desired because the Church is a living body which is always intensely active. No part of the body is passive. Even our contemplative nuns and monks are not outside of the corporate vitality. They too by their activity, spiritual indeed, serve the Church and her well being. Conferences One final point: The council will impart greater importance
to regional and national episco pal conferences. Such periodical assemblies of bishops can deal with more questions than an ec_ umenical council can.

• Religious Respect In Israel DAYTON (NC)-A priest said here that "Jews and Christians in Israel are comrilunicating on the basis of mutual respect" despite recent anti-Christian demonstrations in Israel. Father John J. Jelley, S.M., assistant professor of theological studies at the University of Day ton, gave this opinion. He spent the Summer in Israel attending the "Land of the Bible Work shop." "The anti-Christian demon strations apparently are the work of an orthodox minority, who, though relatively few in number are extremely vocal and active," Father Kelley said. The priest, one of a group of 15 -educators to take part in the
Summer work~hop, said that every religion which requests recognition in Israel is "estab lished," and there is no persecu tion of any church, "although there is an occasional manifesta tion of antipathy toward 'some church groups" by a less well educated segment of the Israeli population.

Black Muslims, Birch Group Symptoms of Social Unrest CHICAGO (NC) - The Black Muslims and the John Birch Society are matching symptoms of social deteriora tion, a Catholic priest experienced in social welfare work told a Presbyterian meeting here.

Warning of a growing gulf between rich and poor in the modern American city, he said the two groups "are rapidly be coming polarized, and the terms 01. the polarity are irrationality, wolence and hatred."

Urges Club Support Project for Youth MONTREAL (NC) - A large scale adult education program aimed at the problems of youth is being planned by Paul Emile Cardinal Leger, Archbishop of Montreal. The Cardinal told members of the Richelieu Club, a French C.anadian service organization he has set this as a major under. taking on his return from the Second Vatican Council, possibly early in 1964. He asked the club members, who represent leaders in maJ;ly walks of life, to support and en· courage the project, pointing out that organized recreation facili ties today are inadequate for the young people. He said too many youngsters reject the official and private agencies, which strive to solve youth problems, be cause of what is looked upon as their bureaucratic nature.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Sept. 26, 1963
Updating the Curia
The language used by Pope Paul in his address to the Roman Curia announcing plans to update that body is the language of charity and of understanding and of firm ness. The Church is both divine - because founded by Christ - and human - because involving men. And, as Pope Paul pointed out, there comes a time when what is already perishing and superfluous in the human manage ment of affairs must be weeded out and allowed to fall. . The Curia has been the object of criticism and, as the Pope said, this is to be expected from the very nature and aims of the Curia itself since the measure of giving is never satisfied when the cause of Christ and souls is at stake. Indeed, it is a compliment to the Curia when there is criticism, since this means that so very much is expected of it and the standard against which it is judged is the standard of Christ Himself. The intention of Pope Paul is vital proof of the aware-. ness of the Holy Father of the world in which the Church lives. It shows his desire to do away with any detail that might blunt the Church's contact with every element in the world it wills to save.

With all the news 01 reform. ing and re-organizing the Ro. man Curia, just what is this august body? G. E., Taunton
The Roman Curia is the ordinary and normal way the Holy Father governs the Church. Before this the Holy Father attended to business per.. sonally O!' convoked a meeting of the cardinals to solve a Pallo ticular question. It was not long, therefore, that the Pope had to appoint various aides and give them the au thority to solve
Malik on the West What is the goal that the West is pursuing? Here is an answer given by the always thought-pru voking Lebanese statesman and scholar, Dr. Charles H. Malik: "A world of perfect technicians is the aim, not a world of human beings, let alone of beings divine. A dreary and boring world where there is nothing beyond man and his mastery over nature * * * Perfect hierarch,y, p~rfect organization, total efficiency, but no spirit, no freedom, no joy, no humor, and therefore no man." In this address, which he gave to the Thirteenth International Management Congress, as reported in The New York Times, Dr. Malik, wondered when the West in its contact with the rest of the world would recover the dimension of spirit, depth and character. This is worth thinking about. The West, as personified by the American, is the world of activity, of the direct approach, of getting things done. But in the process there has been sacrificed some thing of the spirit of reflection, of contemplation, with a consequent loss of the human element. Men instinctively realize that the human angle must be rediscovered and developed. They showed this when they responded so fearfully and yet so proudly when, during America's last manned space flight, the elaborate re-entry equipment failed, and the man himself controlled his re-entry into the world's atmosphere. They show this when a recent writer said, not com pletely facetiously, that he was waiting for the day when an around-the-world space flight would' be made not by a "super man" but by a puny little creature with thick glasses who would prove that the spirit of man was still su'perior to other good and desirable but more superficial qualities.

Fairhaven Sisters Have l(ept' Perpetual Vigil At Sacred Hearts Academy since 1914 By Patricia McGowan It's almost like Christmas this week at Sacred Hearts Academy, Fairhaven. Gay decorations and welcoming signs adorn the school.

haven street, their convent is serenely impressive. Its begin nings, however, were small. When the Sisters arrived in the Diocese, they started opera tions ina small wooden house on the present site. In 1926 the present large building was erected and in 1947· a novitiate was opened in connection with the academy, removing the nec essity of sending postulants to France for training in the reli gious life. Many Traditions The academy includes primary through high school grades and has a total enrollment of 301. A few boys are in the primary sec tion, but the high school is • girls-only institution. The Sacred Hearts Sisters also staff two parochial schools in Fairhaven, St. Joseph's and Sa cred Hearts. The community has many members in South Amer ica, Europe and the British Isles. United States houses are found in California and Hawaii, in ad dition to· Fairhaven, while the motherhouse, where Mot her General makes her headquarters, is in Paris. The community has many tra ditions. Unlike most houses privileged to have Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacra ment, for instance, the Sisters do not have 'it exposed. This, they explain, is symbolic of their particular devotion to the hid den Christ. Adoration at Fair haven has continued without a moment's pause since 1914, at which time there were enough Sisters at the convent to begin the round - the - clock vigil. Through two world wars, innnu merable minor conflicts, and now in the dawn of the space age the Sisters have guarded the . tabernacle.

Famous Priest ' The nuns are associated with the Sacred Hearts Fathers, also in F:airhaven. Most famous member of either community is Father Damien, "the leper of Molokai." The Sisters' congre gation was founded in France in 1797 by Countess Henriette Aymer de la Chevalerie. It was at the height of the French Rev olution, and the Countess had herself been imprisoned for sheltering a priest. Her co-found. er was Father Marie-Joseph Coudrin: Works of the community to day include schools, retreat houses and guest hostels. Candi dates are received from the ages of 15 to 28 and several students at the academy are among those who have entered the Sister hood. There are 37 Sisters at the Fairhaven convent at present.

Hidden Knowledge Strange how the will of God works, if we let it. Strange how nature, as He shaped it,. contains 80 many facets of wisdom. Strange how they lie hidden un til someone, like the writer of this letter, lays them on the " line. Here it is, knowledge that has been neglected, overlooked if not actually hidden, through the years by perverse human nature. Sometimes there is a playing into the hands of commercial in terests, even to the bottling of baby food, when nature brings it along as it should be, in a mother's breast. As this letter shows, there is now an international movement designed to get mothers back on 'the right :track. It is called La Leche League and it has every right of becoming one of the most popular plans in the world. Information on the League may be obtained by writing La Leche League International, Box NW; Franklin Park, Ill.-60131.

Council To Ease Secrecy Rule On' Speeches VATICAN CITY (NC) The rule of secrecy will be lifted for the second session of the ecumenical council in regard to discussions on the council floor. This is the high light of a new plan for press information which is in the final stages of preparation and is cx pected to· be announced shortly. The rule of secrecy, according to the plan, will apply only to what takes place at meetings of council commissions, where var ious proposals are prepared for consideration by the full as sembly of council Fathers. It is also expected that the rule of secrecy will be retained for speeches and remarks of those council Fathers who ex-' press the wish that their re marks not be given to the public No Restrictbn According to information pro.. vided by high officials, the of ficers of the· various language sections of the Council Press Of fice will be permitted to attend general council sessions and will be free to release without re striction any newsworthy infor . mation they gather. In the interests of speedy and efficient operation, it is expected that two experienced priest journalists from Vatican Radio will make summaries of council proceedings as they progress. These summaries will be avail- . able to language section officers in mimeograph from almost im mediately after a council ses sion ends. Oral Brietinlr Language officers will use the Vatican Radio summaries as the basis for their oral briefings for newsmen. But they will add to the summaries material they consider of special interest to a particular language group, such as fuller summaries of remarks by council Fathers from that language area.

A differ ent bishop is selected each day for the honor of carrying the Gospels in procession. NC Photo.
Weste.rn Europe Leads in Updating Church Kung Sees War, Theologians Supporting Efforts ROME (NC) - The Impact of two world wars, a tradition of theological research and theop_ portunity for the theologians to study in freedom are - three major reasons why the new ef. fort· for "updating" in the· Church first became evident in Western Europe. That is the answer given me by Father Hans Kueng, theology expert of the ecumenical council, and member of the Catholic theology faculty at the state Uni versity of Tuebingen, Germany, when I asked him the question widely debated during the first session of the' council and again coming to the fore with the ap proach of its second phase. Why is it, I asked him, that the new ferment in the Church which found its most telling ex pression in the term 'aggiorna mento" (updating) so often used by the late Pope John first be came noticeable in France and Germany, as well as in Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria? And why, I continued, did not similar developments take place in other nations where Catholics make up nearly the whole popu lation, like Italy and Spain, or where they are at least very nu merous, like the United States? In answer to my queries, Father Kueng said: Two Wars
"First of all, the impact of the crises that shook this continent in the course of two world wars unquestionabJY has been felt most severely in both France and central Europe. Wartime bombings, mass deportations and evacuations, political upheavals and territorial changes had an immediate effect upon the inner life of the Church which found itself faced by the necessity to search for new means to spread the Good Tidings amidst a' sea of misery and despair. "This entailed an intense ex amination of consciences such as other countries certainly did not experience to the s.ame extent." "Both Protestant and Catholic believers in Germany as well as in Franee and other countries went through harrowing expe
riences in jails and concentra. tion camps, and the personal contacts thus established be tween them helped immensely toward better interfaith under. standing. This brings to mind immediately the second aspect we must consider in dealing with this issue. Research "The experiences of western and central European Catholics during the war periods were no doubt enhanced by the tradition of theological research which had its roots in the controversies engendered by ·the Protestant .Reformation, especially in the course of this past century. "Naturaily, the countries pri marily affected by this event were confronted with problems of controversial theology more tangibly than others. Biblical as well as historical studies then progressed by the application of modern methods" with scholars in both camps engaged in re search which required a leisure and dedication not possible to the same extent in countries either not as deeply aroused by the Reformation or too busily engaged in missionary and ad ministrative tasks to afford addi tional time for scholarly en deavors." Freedom' "What," I asked, "is the third aspect? Father Kueng answered: "The great freedom theolo gians enjoy in the pursuit of their. calling in the countries which became the cradles of ec umenism. Just think of the names in our own faculty in Tuebingen where I teach, such as Bishop Carl Josef Hefele, the great historian of the ecumen ical councils, and Johann Adam Moehler, whose ecclesiology has opened up new vistas to us all. They, and others equally influ ential, established a tradition of Catholic scholarship which has been continued in Tuebingen in our own day by men like Karl Adam, Joseph R. Geiselmann, Franz S. Arnold, Karl Hermann .Schelke and Herbert Haag. "Quite a few names of distin guished men who teach theology at French, German, Austrian
and other universities could also be mentioned, and I should not omit referring to trail blazers like Cardinal Newman, Christo pher Dawson and Gilbert Ches terton in England: Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, Yves Congar, HenrI de LUbac, Jean Danielou and. Teilhard de Char. din In France. Pioneers "All these men, along with many others less well known were pioneers in fostering the ecumenical spirit. They suc ceeded in leaving a deep im. pact on our age because they were able to work in an atmo sphere of freedom and mutual tolerance which-unlike slavish uniformity and thought control -is the prerequisite of finding truth and is conducive to a gen uil}ely irenic spirit."

God Love You, By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen,
Further, in some areas special approaches must be used. One wonders if we are at our maximum efficiency in Latin America. We are sending a few priests, Sisters and .Brothers to Chile, a few to Brazil,a few to Peru, a few to Bolivia, etc. These either take over parishes built up by the Latin American clergy, or else build churches in isolated areas. This is good, but is it good enough?

MIchael, 2, was napping at time.
Pope Paul Announc-es Plans To Update ~oman Curia Continued from Page One Turning then to the Ecumen~ kal Council, he said it had been desired by "a Pope to whom in fact the spontaneous acC1ama~ tions of the public voice apply the Gospel words about the forerunner of Christ: 'There was a man sent by God whose name was John.''' The curia must ''live'' this Council, the Supreme Pontiff asserted, adding he has made Pope John's heritage his own and that he is making of that heritage a "program for the en tire Church." He emphasized several times that perfect unity of minds must reign between the- Pope and his Curia. "We are certain that no hesi. tations regarding the chief de sires of the Pontiff wili ever come from the Roman Curia; that the Curia will never be sus pected of any differences of judgment or of feelings with re gard to judgments or feelings of the Pope," he declared. VoiCe of Pope Speaking of the "immediate adherence and absolute obedi ence" which the Pope relies on from the Curia to carry out his mission, he said: "And it is this essential rela tion of the Roman Curia with the exercise of the Pope's apos tolic activity which is the justi fication or rather the glory of the Curia itself." Pope Paul described the role of the Curia as "hearing and in terpreting the voice of the pope and at the same time not letting him lack any useful and objec tive information, any filial and well-considered advice." Criticism of the Rom a n Curia comes chiefly from the Curia itself, he said, adding that such criticism is "providential." Perpetual Need ''We must accept tile criticisms that surround us, with humility, with reflection and even with gratitude," he said. "Rome has no need to defend itself by mak ing itself deaf to suggestions that come to it from honest voices." Pope Paul categorized the Curia as part of the "advance guard of that perennial reform of which the Church itself, inso far as it is a human and earthly
institution, has perpetual need." The Pope declared that Rome itself has called for an aggio:r namento - bringing the Chureh up to date; that Rome itself had announced plans for reform ()f canon law; Rome itself had brought the Church "regubLl', untiring, coherent, stimulating government." The Holy Father said it is ob vious that the Roman Curta, "this old and complex organiza tion," needs reforms. He recalled that the Curia owes its present form of organization to reforms of Pope Sixtus V in-15BB, of Pius X in 190B and to the 1917 Code of Canon Law. "Many years have passed," t:tle Pontiff noted. "And it is under standable how such an estaJ>:. lishment should have grown ponderous with its own vener able age * * • how at the same time it feels the need of beb_g simplified and decentralized and the-need of being broadened and made fit for new function:l." Noting that the Curia itself would formulate and promulg~.te its own reform, he statE,d: "Therefore, the Roman Curia will not be afraid of being re cruited with a broader superna tional vision, or of being edu cated with a more accurate ecu menical preparation." Role of Bishops The Curia, he said, will not be jealous of the privileges of for mer times or of "exterior forms" no longer suitable to express re. ligious realities. "Nor will it be miserly of its faculties which, without dam age to the universal ecclesiasti,. _cal order,the episcopacy can to day exercise better by itself and locally," he asserted. Reasons of economy will not
be used to suggest "any reserves or centralization on the part of thp organs of the Holy See," he said.. . After affirming that, if the council so desires, bishops of dioceses may share responsibil
ity for the government of the entire Church, Pope Paul said:
"Surely the Roman Curia will
not oppose this." Speaking with emotion, the Pope said: . "The Roman Curia is not an anonymous body, insensitive to the great spiritual problems, which dictates laws automati cally. It is rather a living or gan, faithful and docile, of the bead of the Church; an organ en grossed in the serious responsi bilities of its functions, and full of reverence and of solicitude towards those prelates whom 'the Holy SpJrit has placed * ,., * M bishops, to rule the Church of God.' (Acts 20, 28) "Therefore let the Roman Curia not be a bureaucracy-as some wrongly judge it-preten tious and apathetic, merely Ie. galistic and ritualistic, a jousting field of hidden ambitions and of intractable antagonisms, as others accuse it of being. But let it be a true community of fai13;1 and charity, of prayers and ac tion, of brothers and sons of the Pope." Before giving his blessing, Pope Paul urged both the Curia ecclesiastics and laymen ''to add to your la-bors of office some other spontaneous labors of th~ ministry and the personal apos. tolate." Thus they would help the Pope "to evangelize not only the world but the City (of Rome) as well, of which you are the foremost faithful and he the bishop!"

" Council and Nee.ds of Missions Continued from Page One Fat her Leo Deschatelets, O.M.I, Superior General of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, said that the Protestant churches have been using lay missionaries for years and with good effect. They have been especially suc cessful in Latin America he said, where great numbe;s of people have become Protestants. "This is the work of Protestant laymen," he'said. "Catholic lay men can do the same. The lay man must go' to the missions. If laY!llen do not go, we are doomed, weare lost!

Father Mitchell To Follow Council Events in Rome
.
Continued from Page One Vatican City radio engineer helped out with some of the musiral sound effects. Net effect was to give audi ences the feeling of .almost par-. ticipating in the events at Rome. 'The magnitude of the Council' was particularly made clear in many interior shots of St. Peter's showing the 2,500 Fathers in session. On the lighter side . were views of Bishops and Arch bishops enjoying coffee breaks with black, I~alian-style coffee although American soft drink dispensing machines lurked in the background. Father Mitchell's taped com mentary also supplied human interest sidelights on the Coun cif. He mentioned, for instance, a 100 year old Bishop who didn't miss a day.' of the session, and he' told of Pope John addressing ,a crowd of Romans in St. Peter's Square the night the Council open2d. "Go home and embrace your, children for me," he told them, "and ask them too to pray for the success of the CounciL" Commenting on thai first day __ of the Council, clima~ed with a torchlight procession in St. Peter'~ Square, Father Mitchell said "This was the day the Lord has made, and this is a night to remember." He explained that his inside view of Council proceedings came about because he was as signed as an usher at St. Peter's one day a week. In this capacity he was responsible for aiding' one section of Fathers in such matters as setting up micro phones, delivering messages and distributing documents. One Third Way Up Father Mitchell said that Council Fathers are seated ,by seniority, and noted that Bishop Connolly is among the top one third "of all the Bishops in the world." His seat is on the epistle side of St. Peter's "one third of the way up." He was present at every Council session, Father Mitchell noted further. Son of Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell of Immaculate Concep tion parish, Fall River, Father Mitchell attended Prevost High Scbool, St. Charles College, Ca'tonsville, Md. and St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, before be-, ing sent to Rome to complete his stUdies. Right of Penitent Heo was, ordained in Rome in 1956, then was assigned to par islies in the Diocese for four yeilcrs and taught l'eligion at
Coyle High School in Taunton before being sent back to Rome to study for a doctorate in canon law. ' The coming year will be de voted to study in preparation for defense of his doctoral thesis before professors of the Lateran University next Summer. Sub ject of the thesis is "The Subjec tive Right of the Penitent to Absolution." Although it will be written in· English, Father Mitchell will be required to de fend it in Latin. He 'sayS he found the ancient tongue quite useful on various trips about the European con tinent. "You'd be surprised at how it adapts to modern things like jet airplanes and television." Father Mitchell also speaks Ital_ ian and by now, he professes, can find his way around Rome better than around Boston. Preparing his Anchor column, the Fall River priest says he keeps it in mind all week, then on Friday night discusses the news of the week in Rome with fellow students. He then writes and air mails his column to The Anchor office. Father Mitchell is the only priest of the Diocese doing grad uate study in Rome now, but he mentioned Peter Mullen of North Easton and George Coleman of

'Somers-et as seminarians study~ ing theology at the North Amer. ican College. Last Easter, he had the oppor tunity to make a quick trip to Russia. He noted manifestations of faith in Russia itself, Czecho slovakia, Hungary and Poland. It was possible for him and the priests traveling with him to say Mass in every country. Father Mitchell spokespeci fically of attending Good Friday services in Lvov, in the Ukraine in the only Catholic church in ~ city of 200,000. "Young men, women and chilo dt"en were there, even though it was a very:rainy day. They could have been expelled for attend ing services, but they came any_ way." In scattered spare moments this year, the Fall River priest will prepare a slide talk similar to his one on Rome, this time dealing with the life of Christ and utilizing pictures taken on a trip last wear to the Holy , Land. He expects to return to the Diocese next July.

Stang-Coyle Clash- Features Schoolboy Inaugural Slate
Seeking Support ',., For New Campus
By Jack Kineavy This proposes to be a rather unusual sports week in these environs. Tonight the NBA Champion Celtics are scheduled to play their first intra-squad game of the training season at Kennedy Center. New Bedford. On the weekend. schoolboy grid teams swing Fairhaven. Post succeeded Ed into action on a broad front Marx who moved up to assume and. of course. next Wednes the grid reins at Framingham day brings the opening of the South. Griffin, a former Blue 1963 World Series between New York and Los Angeles at Yankee Stadium. A full slate of games is carded for area teams on Saturday with Stang and Coyle having the Sun day scene all to themselves. This will be the t h i r d meeting of the schools on the gridiron. The 1961 inau gural, Stang's first year of Var sity ball, saw the Spartans gain a scoreless tie then a seasoned, well _ coordinated North Dart mouth equad romped in last year's encounter, 26-0. A Coyle victory on Sunda:v will bring the record back to balance and this 11 what the Warriors wUl .rive to do. If attendance at the previoUII ,ames is any criterion, it would be adviable to get to Hopewell Park early and avoid the rush. Last year we recall the entire Mudent body at Stang marchinl down Slocum Road to the Dart mouth Stadium in what im pressed us u an unprecedented display of spirit. On the other hand, no one ever accused the Itudent body at Coyle of being behind the door when spirit was distributed. The fans are "up" for this one, not to mention the respective squads. It should be a good one. Somel'l!ld at Bourne Elsewhere around the circuit the season will officially open on Saturday. All eight Tri County Conference teams are in volved in league play at the out-. set and while we hesitate to single out a feature game at this stage of the season, you just might keep an eye on the pro ceedings at Bourne. The Purple host Somerset in this one and both squads have looked strong in pre-season workouts. In other action on the Cape, Barnstable is at home to Dighton.Rehoboth and Wareham visits Falmouth. Making his de but at the D-R helm will be Walter Scanlon, a familiar and respected figure in Southeastern Mass. high school athletics for more than a decade. Coming from New Jersey to succeed genial Mike Gaddis at Falmouth is Paul McGuire. He, too, is a veteran mentor having had pre_ vious coaching experience in Washington as well as the Gar den State. Rounding out the Tri County slate is the Old Roches ter-Case contest at Swansea. Bristol County teams, also, have a complete league schedule opening day. Of particular sig nificance to County fans will be the outcome of the Durfee Attleboro clash in Attleboro. Pre-season consensus rates these two a standoff for league honors and here they are meeting right off the bat. Attleboro finished strong last year capping the sea son with a tremendous effort against talent-laden North. Blr: Opener Durfee, also, has an experi enced club and in a Spring prac_ tice closeout scrimmage with Brockton last June more than held its own. The Hilltoppers, like Attleboro, are blessed with good size up front and though hardly apparent from the stands this u precisely where games are won or lost. ThiS is a big one for both clubs each of which. no doubt, would ha~e preferred to have had a game or two under their belts before ~eeting one another. The North Attleboro-Fair- / haven tilt brings tQgether two DeW Bristol County bead coaches in the persons of Art Post at North and Warren: Griffin &Ii
standout of the Entin era, is standing in for Hal Cornforth who resigned. And a final County pairing on Saturday finds a numerically small Voca tional squad in Taunton to en gage Taunton High. The leading independent game of the day, however, is the Law_ renee-New Bedford contest at Sargent Field. The Crimson will likely be taking on a tartar in this one for Lawrence perennial ly has been a power in Class A ranks. Making its first Fall sea lIOn start in varsity competition will be Bishop Feehan of Attle boro which hosts Provincetown. Running down other non-league contests we note Dartmouth at Cohasset, Dennis-Yarmouth at Oliver Ames and Apponequet at Mansfield. That's it and a busy Saturday it'll be. Boys' Club The Taunton Boys' Club cele brated its 50th anniversary yes terday with a day-long celebra tion, the highlight of which was ~ appearance of Bob Cousy who conducted a basketball clinic at the Mulcahey School in mid-afternoon, then wound up a busy day by meeting with area press and radio representatives at 5:30. The affable Cooz demon Itrated some of his potential moves as he played with each of the two demonstration teams. Bob is Chairman of the Advisory Board of the H. P. Hood and Co. Youth Fitness Program. A well done to the Taunton Boys' Club officials and heartiest congratu lations on the occasion of their 50th anniversary.

Cardinal Ritter Sees Possibility of More
Than One Additional Council Meeting
NOTRE DAME (NC)-Joseph Cardinal Ritter said "we can ex pect more than one additional session" after the second phase of the Second Vatican Council concludes on Wednesday, Dec. 4. ''Procedural changes might make a big difference," the Archbishop of St. Louis specu lated, "but I know of none that have been publicly announced. All the council Fathers are quite accustomed to the established procedure; this should result in great speed in the second ses sion." The Cardinal said that during the Council recess the various commissions have been meeting and he expects the proceedings will be expedited bec;ause "the schemata have been reduced in

He said he anticipates there will be' greater interest and acceptance of responsibility on the part of of the laity:' "They will come to a greater realization by that time-and this will be a direct result of the Council- that they, in the words of Pope Pius XII, are the Church, that they are the people."

SADDLE RIVER (NC) - The head of Seto:l Hall University in South Orange has written more than 800 property owners here in New Jersey seeking support for a proposed branch campus. Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty of Newark outlined in a letter the plans for the 181.4-acre campus which has had wide opposition since first pro posed in 1961. Bishop Dougherty said the campus would blend into the rural character of the residential borough of expensive homes. He said no building would exceed three stories and that only 4.62 acres would be used for build ings. Opposition to the campus here has been led by the Borough Council which adopted in 1961 an amendment to the local Zon ing Code banning construction of any institution of higher edu cation.

OBSERVATION: This coinedy resolves its incredible theme of an experiment in "platonic love" on a contrived, although moral, basis. Moreover, in its develop ment. the film emphasizes sex and frequently borders on gra tuitous suggestiveness in dia logue and situations. An "A-4" classification is given to certain films which, while not morall~ offensive in themselves, require caution and some analysis and ex planation as a protection to the unirlformed against wrong inter pretations and false conclusions. Objectionable in Part for All -Love on the Riviera. OBJEcTION: In one of its ep isodes this film tends to elicit audience sympathy for immoral behavior. In addition, the treat- ' ment is frequently suggestive in costuming and situations. Objectionable in Part for All -Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed. OBJECTION: Sugg~stiveness in costumin, dialogue and dancing mars the comic intent of this film.
