The CHOR 'A lifetime filled with extra work and the priest who anticipated the present day movement of Ecumenism by many years constituted the priesthood of Rev. JohnJ. Griffin." Such was the theme of the eulogy preached py *he Very Rev. Thomas F. garet Malone Griffin, was born ' Wahlh, pastor of St. John S in Fall River, April 14, 1904. He Church, Attleboro, at the lolemn Pontifical Mass this morning at St. Mary's Church, Taunton, for the widely-loved and respected departed pastor of St. Paul's Church, Taunton, who died on Monday morning at the' I'ectory.

At the conclusion of the Pon­ tifical Mass of Requiem cele­ brated by the Most Rev. James :S. Gerrard, D.D., V.G., Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River, the eulogist· enumerated the manner in which Father Griffin influenced the entire city of Taunton.

• "As chaplain at Morton Hos­ pital, Father Griffin was the perfect example of the priest­ hood to the sick and their wor­ ried families. As CYO leader­ the idea and ideal of the priest­ bood was exemplified by this other Christ. As an auxiliary chaplain at Camp Miles Standish - midnight confessions were commonplace, but time meant nothinl{ as long as Father Grif­ flu could send the boys from aU parts of the United States to the fighting fronts with God in their patriotic souls."

The vote meant that the Fathers agreed to go on to a dis­ cussion of the parts of the proj­ ect. Technically, it could still be scrapped. But comments on the project taken as a whole were favorable without exception.

This seems to guarantee that, when certain details are amended after discussion of the project's parts, it will be given final ap­ proval.

Many of the Council Fathers feel that this topic will occupy the entire second session of the Council.

Neglect of Christian Training Treason to Nation's Youth MSGR. Joseph P. A. O'Brien, vice chancellor of the New York 'archdiocese, said "careless ne-, glect in the Christian training of the young" is, "treason to youth end treachery to our country."

The cause of "the sorry condi­ tion of the world" is a "philos­ ophy of thought from which God is excluded," the Monsignor said in a sermon ir St. Patrick's Ca­ thedral during, a Mass at which F ran cis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, pre­ sided.

"Regrettably, this philosophy has penetrated our judiciary, which prevents our children from any prayerful contact in public schools with their God," he declared.

School children are permitted by law to "step into a store and buy books and magazines that enable them to mingle with eriminals and prostitutes, mur­ derers, moral perverts," he said, but they are not permitted to pray in public schools or to be taught that they are "children of God." 'No Substitute' "We cannot delude and deceive ourselves and defraud our youth by depriving them of tha inspir­ ation of the ideals that come from religion alone," he asserted.

"There is no substitute for the religious motive."

Council, Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh declared here.

Answering questions of 200 teenagers at a press conference for editors of diocesan school papers, the Bishop said: "Yours will be the generation that will be affected by the council."

"The rest of us probably win be dead by the time the results of the council permeate the Church. But the lives and 10vC\'l of you and your children will be greatly influenced by what comes out of this council," the prelate said. ' Asks Prayers Bishop Wright said that is why this generation of teenagers hall an obligation, to pray for the council, study the issues it raises and discuss them with others.

The press conference, held a few days before the Bishop left for Rome and the council's sec­ ond session, was devoted to t~ council. It provided clues to the specific topic interests of high schoolers.

The i r questione touched on marriage laws, the vernacular, race relations and the Index of forbidden books.

Some of the questions and the substance of Bishop Wright's an­ swers follow: Q.-Does the new Pope favor the vernacular in certain, reli­ gious services, and if so how soon will he put it into use gen­ erally? ' I 'Explains Dialo&,ue' 'A.-Pope Paul has not re­ vealed his mind on this. The first question to be cleared up is what the council thinks. It has already voted that it wishes the question settled on the basis of pastoral need.

Q.-One of the problems to­ day is the reunion of the Chris­ tian p,eople. What steps, may be, taken to bring this about? ' ,A.-The steps include dialogue among Christians andlefforts on, the organizational level. Dia logue differs from debate, espe­ cially polemic, which seems now only to deepen divisions. In de.: bate, the tendency is to saT. "This is what is the matter with what you believe." But in dia.' logueyou say: "This is what I believe. Is this what you under.... etand by it?" The purpose is te discover areas of' agreement rather than of difference.

Major Innovation Two Nuns Supplement Pri.ests' Efforts

At Louisiana State Newman Center

BATON ROUGE (NC) - An experiment now in its second year at Louisiana State Univer-· sity here is laying the ground­ work for what may be a major innovation in Newman Club work.

Two Catholic nuns are work­ ing fulltime at Christ the King Catholic Student Center on the Louisiana State campus, sup­ plementing the efforts of the two priests assigned to the cen­ ter.

This is the first time in this country that nuns have done full time work in the Newman apostolate on the campus of a secular university.

The nuns are Sister Mary Peter and Sister Jane Louise, both Sisters of St. Joseph. Both nuns hold master's degrees.

Sister Peter has the title "coor­ dinator of student affairs" and 'Sister Jane is "coordinator of liturgical activities."

The Sisters engage in student· counseling, teaching classes in religion and. philosophy, convert instructions, and general office· work. They also schedule events, prepare brochures and maintain the library.

Interviews

Sister Peter said their most

important work is conducting interviews with Catholic stu­ dents. "Most students are' away from home and can easily lose touch with their Church," she noted. "We want to·involve them in the mainstream of Catholic life here so that they don't." . At the recent National New-. man Club Federation conven­ tion in Lafayette, La., the Sisters reported on the reaction to hav. ing nuns on the Newman center staff. .

While their welcome was

sEiVi'NG- -

warm for the most part, they said, there were some who looked on nuns as "ecclesiastical wet blankets." And then there were those who "were afraid we would unstatus their quo or pour some enthusiasm on their cold water."

But with mutual experience, the reaction has been increasing­ ly favorable. One indication is that, with the Sisters interview­ ing, the number of students com_ ing to the center for such vol­ untary sessions rose 400 per cent in the past year.

religious communities met here Monday for the 14th annual meeting of the mission-sending societies.

"Christianity - A Personal Mission" was the theme for the three-day sessions. A wide field, ranging from public reiations to the training of relief workers, provided the subject of disc.\ls-. sions. The overall theme was geared to the importance of making everyone awar-e of his own responsibility as a Chris­ tian, it was emphasized.

C'ergymell Urge More Protection Against Vio"ence

Officiat Says Ciyil LiIJerties Union Ponden Suit Against Chaplains CAMDEN (NC)-The .t\.meriean Civil Liberties Union chaptel' here is considering a court suit in an attempt to stop the ~ederal Government from paymg chaplains to teach religion to servicemen and their depend­

ents.

,

Charles C. Thomas; Camden attorney who is chairman of the South Jersey Committee of. the ACLU, said the move is based upon the U. S. Supreme Court decisions in public school prayer cases. He said if public schools cannot sanction prayers "we do not know how the U. S. Army would have any more right to teach religio.n."

Thomas said he raised the

question with Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and received a reply that military regulations require voluntary religious in­ struction be offered. Thomas said the reply ignored his basic contention that the U. &. Gov~ ernment should not employ anyone to teach. religion.

Bishops Oppose Bracero Law CHICAGO (NC) - The U. S. Bishops' Committee for Migrant Workers has issued an "S.O.S. on Public Law 78," the legisla­

tion under which Mexican work­ ers called "braceros" are im­ J)()!·ted to work on farms in this country.

The Bishops' Committee urged citizens to write their congress­ men opposing any extension of tile law, which it called "a thor­ oughly bad. piece of legislation."

In its appeal for opposition to extension of the law, the Bish­ ops' Committee said the program "takes advantage of the poverty and ignorance of a depressed people."

Critics of the bracero pro­ Faro charge 01at it puts· domes­ tic farm workers at a disadvan­ tage by placing them in compe­ tition with forei~n wo"kE'I"s who are able to accept lower wages.

In discussll1g congressional maneuvering on the issue, the Bishops' Committee statement says organized farm interests "with their enormous financial resources have made their weight fell" It says the issue is "a struggle of. power and wealth against principle and faith in the rights of God's little people here in America."

PROVIDENCE (NC) - Catho­

lic and Protestant agencies have

condemned anew the lVI.exlcan labor program in the wake of a California collision between a makeshift bus and a train which killed 28 migrant workers.

Father James L. Vizzard, S.J..,

director of the Washington of­ fice of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, blamed "callous contempt ··for human dignity and decency" as- the rea­ son for the tragedy. He said im­ portation of Mexicans must stop.

The Nation:!l Council of Span­ ish' Speaking in San Antonio al­ so said the accident magnifies "the necessity" of ending the program under which Mexicans a.re brought into the country each harvest season.

"This international racket in human lives must be stopped now," said the council in a tele­ gram sent to President Kennedy and si/Uled by Father· John. A. Wagner.

The purpose of the lecture series, as explained by Rev. Robert F. Quinn, C.S.P., director, is to present to Catholics and to interested non-Roman Catholics some of the new developments now taking. place in scripture, theology, sociology, ecumenism, history and literature.

scholars, authors and lecturers.

Other speakers this season will be Frank J. Sheed, author and theologian, Rev. Dr. Jaroslav Pelikan, theologian and ecu­ menist of Yale· Divinity School, Rev. John Courtney Murray, S.J., outstanding theologian of Woodstock College, Rev. Joseph H. Fichter, S.J., of' Loyola Uni­ versity, New Ocleans, sociologist and expert on race relations, and Rev. Francis·X;. Murphy, C.SS.R., of the Academia Alphons-iana, Rome, who is w.idely rumored to be one of the authors of the revealing "Letters- from Vatican City."

The st<ason will close in the Spring with lectures by two· out­ standing European Cardinals.

Francis Cardinal Koenig or Vienna, and Leon Joseph Car­ dinal Suenens of Malines-Brus­ sels, -Belgium. Cardinal Koenig was an ambass-ador of peace for Pope John XXIII in Poland and in Hungary.

Cardinal Suenens spoke last May to the United Nations to explain the meaning and signifi­ cance of the encyclical of Pope John, "Pacem in Terris," and he is a member of the special Co­ ordinating Commiss-ion ·of the Second Vatican Council.

Cardinal Koenig and Cardinal Suenens are making special trips to Boston to participate in the lecture series at the Paulist Center.

Apostle to Immigrants

VeneraWe John Nepontucene Neumann

BeotificationRite O:ct. 13

Venerable John Nepomucene will be beatified on Sunday, Oct. 13, was a zeal­ ous missionary, educator, build­ er of churches and spiritual ser­ vant of immigrants.

Yet though he accomplished much in many fields, the Bohe­ mian-born prelat.e was truly "a hero apart from grand under­ takings," in the words of Pope B,~nedict XV, who declared him Venerable in 1921.

The man who was to become the fourth Bishop of Philadel­ phia disliked any fanfare, and his humility, often misunder­ stOOd, was like a cloak covering his achievements.

As a pioneer missionary, Father Neumann spread the Faith throughout various regions 01' Pe,nsylvania, Delaware, New York, Maryland and Virginia from 1840 to, 1860.

In the educational field, he e!ltablished the first unified sys­ tem of Catholic schools under & diocesan board, introduced nuns and Brothers into the Philadel­ phia diocese as teachers, and wrot.e a catechism and Bible lL.st9ry for the faithful.

As an administrator, Bishop Neumann helped construct 80 churches in, the Philadelphia di­ ocese, conducted visitation tours in pioneer settlements and held three diocesan synods. The Bish_ op also organized thl! first dioc­ esan schedule of Forty Hours' Devotion in America.

Able !;Q converse in 10 lan­ guages, he eschewed the solitud~ d.~ired by scholars for the apos­ tolate of action. His facility in languages became an effective 1;('01 in embedding the Faith firmly into maRy European im. migra'nts to the U. S. N,~umann,. who

DEQUINCY (NC) - Father William P. O'Brien, M.S., Who -has been Catholic chaplain at the Louisiana Correctional Insti­ tution here since 1959, has been named superior of the LaSalette Fathers' Midwestern province with headquarters in S1. Louis, Mo. Father O'Brien has served as 'rice-president for the past two ~s of the American Catholic Correctional Chaplains' Associa­ tion.

Statistics released here by the Mission Secl'etariatshow tllat 369 priests, Sisters, Brothers and laymen went 'hl Latin America, 64.4 per cent·of th~ total.

The secretariat, a clearing­ house af information on U.S. missioll-'sending societies, re­ ported these assignment figures for all mission .adtivities: 266 religious order priests; 226 Sis.­ ters; 40 diocesan priests; 33 Bro­ thers; and nine laymen.

The largest single detachment -of missioners from one commu­ nity was attributed to the Mary­ knoll Sisters. The community sent 63 members overseas, 24 to Latin America.

Twelve dioceses were reported. to have sent 24 priests overseas in 1963, all of them to Latin America. In addition, the Mis­ sionary Society of St. James the Apostle, which accepts diocesan priests, sent 16, all to Latin America.

Students Ccunpaign For Bible lleading NEWPORT (NC) - Students . at Newport,High School here in Kentucky have begun a cam­ ,paign protesting a ban on Bible reading and prayer in class­ rooms.

Some 90 students went to class with h 11 n d mad e signs reading. "Bring Back the Bible" attached to their shirts and dresses. Most teachers ordered the signs removed because they were displayed without parmi&­ sian.

Previously the students were

warned against hanging protest

signs in school hallways. '.the students said they were taking the action "b e c a u s eadtilts haven't put up a fight."

"Going shopping is fun," de­ clares Lucille. "The people are very polite and friendly and very willing to help. Already, with our limited Portuguese, good will, nerve, a lot of French and Italian, Piera and I have man­ aged to buy stamps, soap, air mail paper, and other stationary.

Of course the food and clothes . are different in many respects and the prices are always marked in cruzeiros. On Tues­ cay and Saturday there is an open market where they sell vegetables, :fruits, flowers and eggs. Last Saturday I saw two billy goats roaming around."

Once a week the students participate in nocturnal adorfl­ 'lOn, with Luoille and her room­ matesbaving the 2103 A.M. period. "The atmosphere here is one of beauty," writes the New Bedford volunteer. "It is peace­ ful and simple with no tension 'whatsoever - everyone here is conaerned for each other's c0m­ fort and happiness. We will surely miss each other at the eud .of four months."

She requests prayers from the ,home front for success in her studies and her .active work as • ,nurse-social worker, whioh will be carried on in one of Brazil'. most underdeveloped areas.

Diocesan Suppori "There is a source of lq teachers if we will tap it aRd -pay for it. Methods of finamle are annquated but this is no reason for curtailing education and schools."

Conley suggested the cerUra­ lization of -diocesan school ~ ,-terns in matters from licensing and accreditation of teachers to financing. Catholic education shauld no longer be supported only by a parish baBis, he said.

It must be equalized by a diG­ cesan fund.

There is, he added, need especially for support of high schools in order to keep tuition down and avoid restricting these schools only to those who can afford them. '

(N C) ­ new lay­ univer-Bity is at hand

for educators and parents to stop being negative about tbe chal­ lenges facing Catholic schooling.

Parents should stop excusing themselves for making sacrj­ fices in the interest of Catholic education and educators should stop looking for easy solutions, said William G. Conley, presi­ dent of the new Sacred Heart University in Bridgeport.

Better .Off Today "It is time," he said, "for all of us to stop negative thinking about Catholic education .* * * because the years ahead are crucial. Positive and aggressive leadership on the part of par­ ents, teachers and administra­ tors is most important," the Connecticut educator empha­ sized.

Taking note of the change. such as dropping primary grades to solve problems of teacher shortages and lack of ~pace ·fer all pupils, Conley said: "The total argument being used is financial. But that argu­ ment will not stand.' Catholic education :began when our ~ pIe were· on the lowest rung of ihe economic ladder and they were poorly educated.

Once Again

PAVU

In his homily opening the second session of the Vatican Council, Pope Paul again stressed that the work of this Council was to reach out to the contemporary world and to show that world that the Church and its teachings, given it by Christ, are relevant today. This would be done not by the language of theology so much as by the language of love, by showing the Church not as an organization but as an organism, living in the world to unite men to God and to one another.

Once again, the Gospel mood is the tone of the Council.

And in such a setting Pope Paul asked non-Catholics to eonsider "multiplicity in unity" - the union of all who believe in God without uniformity or rigidity in non-es­ sentials.

Both Pope John and Pope Paul'have pointed out that this is not a Council of reunion. But both let it be known that reunion was the ultimate hope and prayer of all. Such a hope has been voiced not only with respect to the Orthodox and Protestant groups but, even wider, with respect to all who believe in the One True God. And, as Pope Paul emphasized, amid all the difficulties and dangers that this entails, men must know that what is impossible to them is possible with God.

Greatest Spiritual Fact A sure sign that the Holy Spirit has breathed His grace into the hearts of men is the unanimous agreement

by Orthodox delegates at a conference at Rhodes to seek a dialogue with the Catholic Church.

Nine centuries of hostility - on both sides - have separated the Catholic Church and the Orthodox. It is no understatement, then, that the Metropolitan Meliton, repre­ Ilenting the Patriarchy of Constantinople, has called this act "the greatest spiritual fact of our century."

This does not mean, of course, that reunion is in the immediate offing. It does not mean that the Catholic Church can abandon the doctrine of papal supremacy which the Orthodox have found such difficulty in accepting. It does mean, however, that the Orthodox are willing to talk to representatives of the Catholic Church and this, in itself, is such a change of attitude from the atmosphere that has prevailed for nine centuries that it renders valid the statement of the Metropolitan.

Theologians on both sides have discovered of late that many of the difficulties between Catholics and Orthodox are difficulties of. language, of expression. In a surprising number of instances the finding of a formula, a phrase, acceptable to both has made both sides realize that funda­ mentally there is agreement. Some even hold out the hope that. the same will be true of the key doctrine of papal supremacy and infallibility. The Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople has told his theologians that they must work hard so that they will be prepared "to diseuss with Rome the grave problem of the union of the Church." He realizes that when the Orthodox Church expresses its be­ '1iefs in Twentieth' Century language and compares its doe­ trines thus clothed with those of the Catholic Church stated in the same modern terms, the results may be more of a bridge than a gulf

Nuisances?

There are two ways of looking at the many appeals being put forth for various worthy purposes. A Sunday newspaper published an entire page listing the social activi­ ties aimed mainly at raising funds for charitable and re­ search purposes. .

One reaction is to be annoyed at the nuisance value of these appeals - they make a person uncomfortable if he ignores them and poorer if he does not.

But a second and more worthy attitude is to become aware of just how much good will does exist in every eommunity. For all that Americans are supposed to be a materialistic people, they show themselves surprising ready to give of their own resources .and to pry their neighbor loose from some of his. The charitable agencies and the research work underwritten by the various drives, programs and activities are proof that these are fulfilling a purpose and are worthy of support.

And they testify to the goodness that lies in People.

TODAY - st. Teresa of flte Child Jesus, Virgin. There is much about childhood and about the Christian's duty of becom­ ing "like a child" in today's Mass. What does this mean but that renewal of faith and hope an.d vision which every experi­ en.ce of the Eucharist, of Sunday Mass, should mean to all of us.

At the altar we return to sim­ ple verities, to a clear vision of G.>d and of ourselves and of our bI'others, and of the relations bE:tween these three. The Chris­ tian is forever becoming a "new man," a child. ~ FRIDAY-St. Francis of Assi­ Ii•. Confessor. The same simpli­ city is again the theme of this Mass. Why is Francis so beloved, if not because he. became as a child, he became new, he be­ CS.me free of the sham sometimes associated with adulthood and sophistication. "When a man is in Christ Jesus, there has been a new creation" (First Read­ ing).

MASS OF ST. MARY ON SATURDAY. The Virgin as the model of faithfulness is the mother we acclaim in today's Mass. She is one of the great biblical figures or signs or sym­ bols of the Church, of GOd's holy People, as we see in the Gospel's benediction of not only h.~r motherhood but also her ac­ CE,ptance of the word of GQd. EIGHTEENTH SUN DAY AFTER PENTECOST. As we gather for the Eucharist today, we who are, some of us, sick, some poor, some jobless, some burdened with unspoken. con­ flicts are told that we are rich.

"You have become rich, through h:im, in every way" (First Read­ irlg). And the GQspel confirms this verdict with Jesus' deed of absolution, forgiveness, healing.

For our assembly at Sunday Mass, if it tells us nothing else, speaks every time an opportune word about our destiny - as it d,:>es about our unity. .

Our crises, however real and fI'ightening they may be, cannot

C:atholic Enrollment Up at Ohio State COLUMBUS (NC) - Catholic students at Ohio State University have increased from 4.5 per cent o.f the total enrollment in 1910 to 17 per cent of the total in 1'962.

Final tabulation of the uni­ versity's 1962 enrollment of nearly 33,000 showed 5,180 Cath­ olics.

This made Catholics the sec­ ond 1 a r g est denominational group in the student body. Most' nl.\merous were Methodists, who numbered 5,244, 17.2 per cent of the total.

rob us of our destiny-as long

as we can turn to Jesus' absolute power of forgiveness. For this power call turn any- evil to good and any sinner to God. We can­ not celebrate this sacrificial meal without becoming deeply conscious that we are people lib­ · erated from the despair which so often seems the human lot.

MONDAY -Our Lady of the Rosary. Time is fleeting and life is short, but the Christian'. dignity and sense· of destiny is sung today in the words of Prov­ erbs (First Reading) applied tel the Blessed Virgin. "Already I - lay in the womb, when the depths were 110t yet in being."

Our roots arc in timelessness, as our source is in God's thought and will. So the type of private prayer, the Rosary, which this Mass honors, is (unlike the sac­ ramental worship of the Church) a kind of gentle rhythm in timelessness, without beginning or end.

TUESDAY-St. Bridget, Wid­ ow. The Church's lavishness in its praise of holy men and : women is not camouflaged idol­ atry. It is precisely praise of .:what GQd has done .in us, of _what He has made of us. God III not glorified by the disparage­ ment of His works. "Blessed are they who are undefiled in the · way" (Entrance Hymn). "God _has blessed you forever" (Grad­ ual and Offertory Hymns).

WEDNESDAY-St. Jobn Leo­ nardi, Confessor. When we speak of the Church's missionary task we no longer think of only far­ eign lands nor of clergy and Re­ ligious exclusively. The whole Church must be a witnessing as well as a worshiping commun­ ity. Today's Mass communicates · a sense of the urgency of our witness for Christ (Gospel) and cautions us to commend our wit­ ness by virtue and not to preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ.

"Latin America Calls" is a

quarterly, four-page pamphlet

about what is happening in Latin.

peats a clear statement of the

paper there is also the inevitable

appeal for prayers and funds.

Howe v e r, "Latin America Calls" is 'not only an appeal for funds. This current issue, for ex­ ample, has an impressive pie­ ture of a young boy following in the footsteps of a priest acroSll a narrow causeway. The point of the picture is obvious.

Good T~xes Another article tells how taxes are good for Latin America! One of the problems of the countries to our South is that the rich have cornered most of the funds and yet are powerful enough ia. many instances not to have -. pay taxes. We can see what' Ii catastrophe would occur in' our Clwn homeland if only the pOOl" paid taxes - the economy would falter. So in Latin America aUy government progress in assessin. and collecting taxes against the extremely wealthy is a step along the right road.

Another notice tells us that the number of religious priests, Brothers and Sisters in Bolivia has increased. by 55 per cent ill . the last 10 years. That is an en­ couraging note to offset some 01 the many distressing problenw we hear from Latin America.

Test of Success

Prelate Stresses Soidal Contributions

Of Catholic School Graduates

NEW YORK (NC) - One test 01 the success of Catholic schools lies in the social contributions of th.eir graduates, an assistant gen­ el'alsecretary ,of the National Catholic Welfare Conference lIllid here.

Msgr. Francis T. Hurley said the "haunting question" for Catholic education is: "Does the American citizen with a Catho­ U~ school education add any­ thing more to society than the American citizen with a publie s<:hool education?"

"In season and out we assert that Catholic education has a pIus quality to it, and we ~e-, v,~lop a curriculum and course oll studies geared to forming the ideals, the attitudes and the hab-. its for Christlike living," Msgr.

H:urley said.

"The blueprint of Catholic ed_ ucation is different * * * The question is, how different is the product once it is in the open market of the world?" he told Beligious and lay teachers from 4:31 schools of the New York archdiocese, attending a cere­ mony in St. Patrick's cathedraL MSgr.

The challenge for teachers, he eaid, is "to inspire the graduates to carry the truth into society, there to make it effective in the lives of men."

Bishop Makes Magazine Laity Responsibility VICTORIA (NC) - The magazine Torch has been transformed from the of­ ficial publication of the Dio­ Cl!se of Victoria into a lay-oper­ a,ed "magazine of the Church and her people on Vancouver Island."

Bishop Remi J. De Roo of Vic-, toria, in a statement in the mag­ azine's September issue, said he is "convinced that the time is ripe to place the responsibility. for the Torch in the hands of a team of laymen."

Under the new setup, Bishop De Roo said, statements in the magazine "will not necessarily represent" the ,views of the bishop or the diocese. He said, "the only reason the magazine ill losing its official nature is to enable it to carry out is role more effectivellV."

The one skill we thought we Dever could forget was the knack of caring for babies. Now that, we were COll,vinced, wa.l! really' "as natural as breathingl" So, with complete confidenee, we -offered to take care ofa .mall baby for a week. ·That would be duck soup, going back to a natural--as-breathing rou­ tine.

It was fun - deep down soul­ satisfying pleasure to b.ave a baby in the house again, to know that .we were respon~ble..for his care and comfort. There .have been short sessions of baby mtting, of course, while parents were away for a few hours, per­ haps half a day, but this waa truly like "the old days."

'We were used to the new kind .f diapers, the new safety pin. with their bulky ornamental. heads; to today's steamlined. baby clothing, and the easier, epen-ajar type of feeding.

"Watch me carefully, Mom," the young mother Wail. saying. "You may have to do this by yourself sometime."

Once, this joke had tickled our risibilities, with its innuendo that grandma had never bathed a' baby.

Now! To quote a comic of that era, "'Tain't funny!" .

Just how had we gone about bath procedure? To bolster courage, we did some mental arithmetic: bathing seven chil­ dren at a minimum of once a day, each up to the age of two, we must have executed at least 5,110 baths in the "babY'" class.

One more should be "as natural. as breathing."

It wasn't.

All right, so maybe grandma's kaees aren't aa supple as they used to be.

Re-allocation to the kitchen' sink and we got along fine! . As. days slipped by, mutual pleasure and satisfaction ·iil­ creased; baby smiling more, grandma relaxing. Though' old' time skill was less deft, the ftin of "having a baby in the house," even temporarily, was more fun than ever! .

Pope Sees Fa ith Factor in Unity Of Europe

Convert Makers Lay Apostolate's Elite Christians

VATICAN CITY (NC) European unity can be im­ measureably aided by the Catholic Faith, Pope Paul VI declared here at a special audi­ ence for the Federation of Italian Cat h 0 li e University' Graduates.

The Pope drove in from his Summer villa at Castelgandolfo to receive thousands of members of the federation, including many officials of the Italian government. The federation had recently concluded a congress at Padua on the theme of culture and European unity.

The Pope, who received the alumni group in the Hall of Benedictions, high above the porch of St. Peter's, told his visitors: Individual Effort "Your concern for culture does not distract you from the historic or social reality in which y.ou are called to live, but rather it places you as students and as Catholics in the heart of contemporary life and requires you to view the panorama not as inert or protected spectators 1)ut as understanders and partici­ pants' in the world scene, sum­ moned to exercise the function ,that is properly yours as per­ sons trained in a living thought and ready to give witness and to function efficiently.".

Pope Paul said that if the . unity· of Europe is to become a . reality, it will depend largely on the efforts of individuals. He added: I . , "We'have the conviction that the Catholic Faith can be a fac­ tor of incomparable value for instilling spiritual vitality by virtue of that fundamentally united culture which must be the basis of the animation of a socially and politically unified Europe • ••"

PONTIAC (NC) Con­ vert workers were charac­ terized as "elite Christians in the lay apostolate" by the national director of the Convert Makers of· America here in Michigan.

Father Erwin A. Juraschek of San Antonio, Tex., told the 19th annual CMOA meeting the con­ vert workers should give "Al­ mighty God at least one hour a week of apostolic work."

"One hour of the week to work for God," he said. "A few' phone calls - a letter - a visit - attendance at interfaith meet­ ings - this is the minimum that any· Catholic should do if he loves God. "Lay it on the line - spell it out," the priest continued. "If you pass on love, love will re­ turn to you.

He then outlined some ways in which Catholic laymen can help bring about the "aggiorna­ mento"-the updating which has been called the chief purpose of the Second Vaticl:J,n Council.

Laymen "are to sanctify them­ selves by sanctifying the world about them," said Father Stan­ ton, New England regional So­ dality promoter.

uled to be offered here Saturday, Oct. 12 at the spacious Colorado State Fair Grounds.

Pueblo diocese officials said it will mark the first time in this country that a Protestant cler­ gyman has been the speaker in connection with a Catholie Mass.

Episcopal Bishop Joseph Som. merville Minnis of Colorado is the only speaker scheduled for the Columbus Day event which is being sponsored by Pueblo Council of the Knights of Co­ lumbus with the approval of Bishop Charles A. Buswell of Pueblo.

The K. of C. will extend spe­ cial invitations to Protestant and Jewish clergymen and to civic and state officials throughout Colorado to attend the Mass. A IIpecial front section will be re­ served' for the Protestant and Jewish clergymen.

As' a precaution against iil­ element weather the K. of C. has reserved the State Fair Exhibit Hall, adjacent to the fair' grounds, as an alternate site of the event.

Dialo~e Mass It will be a dialogue Ma~ with the congregation reciting file Mass responses, singing hymns and praying in English.

Father Aidan Colloty, O.F.M., of the diocesan liturgical commis­ sion, has been appointed coor­ dinator of participation in the Mass. He said he will have available copies of the prayers to be read and nondenomina­ tional hymns to be sung by the expected large crowd of Catho­ lics, Protestants and Jews.

Bishop Buswell, who will be , in Rome attending the Second Vatican Council at the time, said he will petition Pope Paul VI for a special blessing to be im­ parted to all those who attend the Mass.

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.

Two-thirds of the people of the world go to bed hungry ever)' night. There is not a single one of these people who would not take our vow of poverty if it meant they would be as well-fed, as well-housed and as well-clothed as we are.

But that was when we associated weaving with clowns, who stagger around deliberately. When we get older we know a drunk isn't funny at" all. He's much by way of quantity) is tngic, because he doesn't about as sad a sight as there is. stagger deliberately. He does (No, that isn't quite accurate it because he has no control. eit~ler. In the realm of drunks, And he has no control because be has deliberately thrown It away.

As we get

older, we see

• the r reasons why this excuse for a man isn't very funny. It isn't really hi­ larious to have to listen to lOme boozed up ancient mariner type tell yOu -his story," in . mumbled, unintelligible and oft­ repeated words, over and over again.

He's a bore, and usually a pretty fragrant bore. Certainly he's an irrational one. And there aren't many things more dis­ gusting than a rational anim~l deliberately throwing away hi. own rationality - the gift that makes him a man.

No 'Harmless' Drunks Another reason the stewed prune is far from funny is that you begin to realize - as your own area of experience widel18 _ that he isn't going to seem funny at all when he stumbles his woozy way ·home or is carried there.

Somehody has to take care of him - probably the very people . he's ~upposed to be providing for, but whose life, instead,. he'. turning into a continuous Jught­ mare.

When you were a kid and saw a drunk, you saw only him. But .s . you matured you saw more than this sorry little ·spectacle.

You saw someone responsible for unhappy or maybe broken homes (becauSe one ineverr three homes which break up does so because of booze), for • broken heart or two; for abOut 20 people killed in traffic ac­ cidents everyday," and "for all the other tragic by-products of these things.

The guy was no longer' a "harmless drunk." M a't uri t y showed us there was no such thing as a harmless drunk.'

Not Funnt-Tragic Once you see the' menace the' crock really is.' it's hard to see anything funny in him. He's tragic all the way. And it's the worst, most ironical kind' of tragedy - because he thinks he's hilariously funny. And he's never wrong. In fact even his drinking is somebody. else'. fault.' ' No, thiS guy is clown.

But if this stumbling Sup­ posedly adult idiot is tragic, still more tragic Is the teen-ager who thinks over-drinklng is humor­ ous, or a sign of maturity, or even something to be b()4sted about. Because if there's any­ thing sadder than an old idiot It's a young moron who doesn't know he's one.

Stupid. .........

You hear.a teen-ager bragging about . how high or tight or . drunk he was and .you automat-, ically think of how· drunk. the guy was who broke up a home, kiledsomebody in. an ·'a,cei-. dent," made a nuisance. .of. himself, and didn't have :the simple. guts to face life from in, front of a bottle instead ·of in the haze behind it. And you wonder what kind of stupidity can, prompt the "boasting."

'The teen-ager who drinks too much (and that isn't always very

'no

the female type gets the tin loving-cup.)

Many a good party or dance has been ruined by the young guy who had to bring some booze along. (Something }I.e did in the first place to show his "matur­ ity," since he isn't able to do it any other way.)

Many a young guy has become a nuisance and sometimes even a menace to his date because he thought he was acting real grown ,up by drinking too much.

And all he was doing wu showing a helpless, pitable im­ maturity.

5 Million in U.S. The trouble is this guy grows up physically but never inside.

He'll still be the same sniveling, !le1f-pitying, boastful type at 60 that he was at 16.

Undoubtedly, you'll find a lot of seedy characters of one sort or other (no matter how "sophisticated" their seediness) who got their start by one or two drinks at the wrong time and in the wrong circumstances. And many a boy or girl has begun a • long, annoying character-de­ stroying habit of evil with just one or, two wrongly timed d,rinks.

It's almost a 100 per cent cinch that no alcoholic ever started out by saying ''I am going to become an alcoholic."

And yet we have five million confirmed alcoholics' in this country of ours, or about one alcoholic out of every 40 men, women and children in the U.S. Potential Alcoholics The "reasons" teeri.-agers usu­ ally have for drinking scare you, when you realize 'that just about all of them are the alcoholic'. "teawns," too. The gOod psychO:-­ logist can finger the alcoholic before he ever takes a drink.

If a guy drinks to overcome shyness, or to work up the "courage" to perform SOlne im­ moral' act, or to "belong," to forget sOmething, to' escape into an unreal world 'because he can't take the real 'one, he's a potential alcoholic. He's an es­ cape artist and a coward, hiding undet a loud empty boast' of "maturity."

Drink, lill:e everything else, has its legit uses and its .stupid ,abUses. There isa time for drinking and a time far leaving it alone. And, in general youth - especially teendom - 'is th~ time for leaving it alone.

Sometimes an 'Oldman, in 'his' thirties .Or forties heeds a shot or two to pep him up: 'Bl.itthe' youn~n~uy is already pretty 'high -'-'and should be .:- just on 'bis' iouth * *'. ',' So .forget the booze fot and enjoy your yonth. "

Poor Have First: claim'

The vow of poverty must be re-thought - not only by those who formally take it, but by tho!le who are called upon to practice it simply because they are Christian. Does not the vow of individual poverty often go hand in hand with institutional and com­ munity wealth? Does not the vow of poverty mean only a dependency - you ask for what you need and you get it? ,

Red Students Serve State

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS (NC) - S 0 vie t education's strong point is ability to prepare etudents to serve the ends of the state, an educational specia­ list said here in Ohio.

Nicholas DeWitt, chairman of the department of international . and comparative 'eaucation at Indiana University, pointed out that in the U.S. the individual student determines what kind of education he will have and how much.

But in the Soviet Union, he aid, education is integrated into overall economic and military

its

planning and the government decides the extent, type and quality of education for indivi­ duals.

"Although professing the aims or- general and well rounded education, the Soviet sYstem is unilfuely geared to the training of specialized manpower," De­ Witt told a seminar on "Chal­ lenge of Education, U.S.­ U.S.S.R." The seminar was held at, John Carroll University and ~ponsored by its Institute for Soviet and East E u r 0 pea.

Asserts Unemployment and Race Shadow Over Labor Movement CLEVELAND (NC) - A long and ominous shadow, caused by unemployment and racial in­ justice, falls across the labor movement, Archbishop Edward F. Hoban declared here.

The specter of the unem­ ployed and presently unemploy­ able worker, said the Bishop of Cleveland, can lead to increased racial strife.

The Archbishop said the labor movement has reason to point with pride to its accomplish­ ments. But he cautioned that the problem of unemployment and the unemployable is particlilarly serious for the young and the Negro worker.

"During the past five years,"

Nine Laymen From Seven Nations Attend Sessions of Council

he added,· ''job opportunities have been cut in half while the number of youths entering the labor force grows each year and continues to grow.

"Non-white workers have a double unemployment rate in comparison with white youths.

And this, we must remember, is not just a temporary emergency: it is a major crisis for our na­ tion.

"It is my hope and prayer that both zvanagement and labor will face the national crisis of un­ employment with unselfish and realistic . concern; and address themselves with C Ih l' i 9 t ian charity and justice to the prob­ lem of racial discrimination in \ 1 employment." ., '

Activities at High Schools Continued from Page Thirteen president; Ron Larrivee, vice· president; Rich Lafrance, secre­ tary; Gaston Plante, treasurer.

Explains American Hostility To Lat~n American Unions

To Atteftcf ZARAGOZA (NC) ­ Plans to admit newsmen to the second session of the Vatican Council w-ere dis­

By Mscr". George G. Higgias

Direeter, NCWC Social Arlien DettartJneat

The April 22 release af The Yardstick, which said. in summary, that the kind (j)f neutral unions w~ have in the if1tllited States ar~ app!"(;)vedhy the Church, has brought forth a bitter protest from Mr. Nicholas Pollard of Eriti:;h Honduras, Joint Secretary of munism, Mr. Pollard said. is that the Inter-American Confed­ the secret of Fatima which was ..ation of Christian Trade to be revealed last Ye<lr did Unions, British Carribean come about, and the .secret was ~me. In a letter 1.llted Sept. 4, Mr. Pollard argues rather ve­ hemently t hat Pope John XXIII, in his encyclical :Mater et Magis-­ va. gave his blessing only to Christian 1ID.ions. Mr. Pol­ lard is very an­ arT with this writer and with lI!b.e distinguish­ ed German .cholar, Father Oswald van !IQ1l-Breuning, S.J., for having . . temerity to disagree w·ith 1aim in this regard. in summary, he says that the ehristian trade union movement "'eertainly endorses" Father John Coogan's all-out criticism of tbe American labor movement in his I'eoentpamphilet, ''R~me and. the American Labor Union."

Embarrasses Editors dear Monsi:nor," he writes, "I must disagree with 70G and Nell-Bruenint and beartily endorse your American periodicals, The' Wanderer and 8le National Review, for herald­ ing very enthusiasticaHy the DeW booklet, 'Rome and the American Labor Union.'

'The editors of The Wanderer end the National Review will undoubtedly be very m ..ch em­ barrassed by this unsolicited ·compliment when they look at it to the context of a wildly in­ flamatory speech which Mr. Pol­ lard delivered in Belize areund the end of August.

Endorses Communism In the course of this speech Mr. Pollard heartily endorsed Russian communism and proud­ J;y boasted that he would wage continuous warfare against the United States and Bustamante (Prime Minister of Jamaica) until they come "with their tails between their legs."

Pollard went on to say that he bad written an editorial in 1957 in which he predicted that Nikita Khrushchev would be the ereatest man in the world.

Russia, he told an audience of Christian trade unionists, will change the morale and raise standards el workers allover the world. And he added that at present Russia has a higher standard of morality than Ule

United States.

by Mrs. Jennie A. Peters, a pa-' rishioner who died Aug. 12.~ the age ot 86.

handed to a priest who turned it over to the Pope.

Pollard, believe it or not, de­ clared that the secret bears out the greatness and potentiality of Russia, but because it might not be understood, the Pope has had to use tact and di.scretion in re­ leasing it to the world.

ObIiptioD ie De.ounce In the letter referred to above.

Mr. Pollard plaintively asks the following questioB: "If, as you admit, John does indeed bless the (Christian) unions * '* '*, bow can you as a Monsignor explain the hostility of the American unions against the (Christian) wll<>US of Latin America?""

His own speech.is a partial an­ swer to this QUestiO!n. After all, tRe American labor 'movement can hardly be expected to wink at procommunist demagoguery in Latin America or anywhere else. This is not to say that the policy of the American labor mCilVement with regard to the Christian unions of Latin Amer­ ica is defensible in all respects.

As I have frankly stated more than once in this column, the American labor movement has made its share of mistakes not enly in Latin America but in other parts of the world. But its opposition to Pollard's brand of quackery is anything but a mis­ take. Indeed the American labor movement has an obligation to denounce this kind of demacogic rhetoric in the strongest possible terms.

Same RespQJljlibilit1' I might also sl.lUest that the International Federation of Christian trade unions is faced with identically the same re­ sponsibility. And the sooner it faces up to this responsibility, the better it will be for the cause of legitimate trade union­ ism in Latin America and for the cause of labor unity south of tbe border.

The very least that the Chris­ tian International can be ex­ pected to do at this stage is to disassociate itself formally and officially from the incredibly weird views expressed by Mr. Pollard in his recent speech in Belize. . After all, the Christian Inter­ national cannot expect to have it both ways. It cannot lay claim, on the one hand, to a preferred status in the eyes of the Church and then conveniently look the

other way when -one of its mav­

erick spokesmen says, in effect,

that communism is the wa.ve of

the future.

Turn Thumbs Down On School Bus Rides LAKE CHARLES (NC)-The Calcasieu civil parish (county) school board has refused to grant bus transportation for parochial school pupils ,in one ward and voted to end it .in two other wards after the current school year.

Prior to the schuol board ac­ tion, a local unit of Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State (POAU) held a public meeting in opposition to the' bus trans­ port for 'parochial students.

Catholic parents also held an open meeting to present their side of the case. .

Of 13 civil- parishes in south­ west Louisiana that make up the Diocese of Lafayette, only Cal­ casieu has taken a stand against bus transport for parochial stu­ .dents. One other civil parish does not provide such transpor­ tation, but it has no par<>chial schools within its borders.

COUNCIL BOUND: Blshop Connolly leaves the Logan Airport, Boston, for the second session of Vatican CouneillI.

Fr. Mitchell at Vatican Council Continued from Page One almost sixty observer-delegates frQm the Protestant and Ortoo­ dox Churches, w a t c h e d the Council Fathers file into their seats. They were vested in white cope and miter. The Archbishops were followed by the :Patriarchs of the Oriental Sees. Next came the Cardinals, vested in chasuble and miter. And at the end of the procession w a 1 ked the Holy Fal:her, Fope ,Paul VI. _ Kneeling over the tomb of St. Peter, Pope Paul intellect the hymn to the Holy Spirit. .M its conclusion all of the Council Fathers pronounced the profes­ sion of faith. The Holy Sacrifice c.f the Mass was then celelilrated by ~ dean of the C<>llege ~f Cardinals, Eugene 'Cardinal 8.'iJI­ serant. The bishops were joined. by the thousands in the basilica in a common chant of the re­ $ponses and hymns of the Mass.

Unity tile Abn T hat morning's Eucharistic Sacrifice was not only a prayer for the success of the council ­ It was actually a fulfillment of the council's loftiest aim: the fusion of a scattered multitude into the "holy people C1f God," joined with Christ to the Father.

Television and movie cameras captured the externals of the moment for history. But they could not .capture the under­ lying reality, that Christ had once again come down to earth to live in the midst of his people and to transform them into his image.

Following the Mass, Pope Paul spoke at great length to the bishops of the council and to all who could hear his voice. He summarized the program of the council in four poi n t s: the awareness of the Church; its re­

form; the bringing together of

all Christians in unity; and the

'dialogue of the Church with ~

contemporary world.

"The time has now come," said

Pope Paul, "when the truth re­

garding the Church of Christ

should be examined, coordinated

and expressed * * * In this Ecu­

menical Council the Spirit of

truth ignites in the teaching

body of the Church a brighter

light and suggests a more com­ . plete doctrine of the nature of the Church, so that the Bride of

Cbri.st may be mirrored in her

Lord and discern-in him,. with

most lively love, her own true

likeness and the beauty that De

wishes her to have."

Pope's Homily Stressing 1ihe work of renewal

in the Church, the Holy Father

con~ued, "We have just spoken

of the Bride of Ohrist looking upon Christ to discern in him

her true likeness; if in doing so

she were to discover some

9hadow, some defect, some stain

upon her wedding garme-nt, what

should be her instinctive, coura­ gious reaction? There can be no

doubt that her primary duty

would be to reform, correct and

set herself to rights in con­

formity with her divine model."

Th,e Pope cautioned, however,

that in striving for the renewal

of the Church, "we do not imply that the Catholic Church of t&­ day can be accused of substantial

ilifidel.ity til the mind of -her

divine Founder. Rather it is the deeper realization of her sub­ stantial faithfulness that :fills her with gratitude and humility amI inspires her with the cour­ ~ io correct those inperfectioDs whi n ; ' are proper to human weakness."

In a voice filled with emotion,

tl>e Holy Father then addre9Sed a plea to the Separated Brethren.

"If we are in any way to blame for that separatiQD., we humbly beg God's forgiveness and ask pardon too of our Brethren who feel themselves to have been injured by us. For our part, we willingly forgive the injuries which the Catholic Church has suffered, and forget the grief endured during the long &eries of dissensioDII mtd separations.

May the heavenly Father deign to hear our prayers and grant us true brotherly peace." .1G Week 5es8l-. ' Finally, the Pope spoke of ·building a bridge to the con­

temporary world' "Let the world

know this: the Church looks at

the world with profound under­

standing, with "Sincere admira­ t10n and with the sincere inten­ tIOn not of conquering it, but

or serving it; not of despising

it, but of appreciating it; not of

condemning it, but of strength­

ening and saving it."

The council is once again un­

derway. Ten weeks of hard work

stretch out OD the horizon. But for the bishops it is a labor of

love. And like that splendid

image of the Fathers seated in

council, the field is white with the harvest.

closed here bT an official of tile council.

"A number of newspapermen will be admitted successively to the council hall day after day, 10 that each will have the oppor­ tunity to see the council .t work," declared Arehbishop Casimiro Morcillo of Zaragoza, who .if; one of five undersecre­ taries of the council.

Archbishop Moreillo expects the council to go beyond the coming session into a third, fourth or possibly even fifth session.

He said that it is probable that the council Fathers will receive two reports on the projects put before them, a majority report in each instance from the pre­ paratory commission, and a minority report presenting the views of the commission dis­ senters.

He indicated that the unity sub­ ject might not be reached before the end of the council's second .ession.

Bishop's Younger Brother Quiet,

Unassuming Redemptorist Brother

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Oct. 3, 1963

Robert Cormier Is Superior To Many Known Novelists

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - On April 10, 1896, a quiet unassum­ ing Redemptorist Brother died in New Orleans at the age of 78. ' He had been a Brother for a little more than 50, years. For tlie last 31 years of his life he was a sacristan of the little Church Qf Notre Dame de Bon Secours here.

The man was Brother Wen­ ceslaus Neumann, C.SS.R.; blood brother of John Nepomucene ,Neumann, C.SS.R:, fourth Bishop of Philadelphia. On Sunday, Oct. 13, Bishop Neumann will be be­ atified in ceremonies in Rome,

\

By Rt. Rey. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Of a rather unlikely subject Robert Cormier made a beautiful and memorable novel his first time out. It was caUed Now and at the Ho'ur and dealt with a man slowly dying of cancer. The man was poor and relatively inarti- ' eulate, not an heroic char­ talkative is repulsive. acter in any sense, one whom endlessly In ,any case, after his initial the generality would regard agreement, Piccard leaves town. as a mediocrity. But his ad­ 'Forced Ending vance to ultimate truth, as the disease advanced in him, and Ih i s attainment of peace in the midst of atro­ cious suffering -these were credibly and impre,s­ sively 'conveyed in a work which, in its quiet way, rang true and was moving without being in ,the least senti­ mental. Mr. Cormier now offers a second novel, A Little Raw on Monday Mornings (Sheed and Ward. $3.95).

Again the chief character is a plain, poor person in grave trou­ ble. Again a common situation, including a not so common pre­ dicament, is explored.

Lively, Competent ' The protagonist is Gracie Wil­ liams, 38, w!J.o live.s in a New England mill town. Her ancestry is a mixture of Irish and French, and she is a Catholic. She lives lin a tenement and works every day in "the comb shop,'" a place hideous plastic novelties are made.

She is lively, competent, at':' tractive although running now to fat. She has known happiness, but lately has taken a relentless battering from life.

Her eldest daughter has been murdered by an emotionally dis­ turbed young man of the neigh­ borhood. Her husband began to drink heavily after the girl's death, and was himself killed in, an auto accident.

Children Problems There are three other chil. dren: Dorrie, at 13, is entering upon a 'teenage estrangement, from her mother; Davy, at 7, is a pale, nervous, and fastidious child; and Susie, at two years rand a few months is a problem for a woman who has to earn a living for herself and the young­ aters.

There is $1,800 in insurance money, but that, of course, can melt away in no time. The only other resources are what Gracie can earn in the shop.

And so she slaves away, try­ ing to keep the flat clean, to give the children what they need and some few extras, and to perform her job satisfactorily.

Three Courses Open Qne evening Gracie spends a oo'uple of hours at a sleazy tav­ ern in the sleazy town, and briefly has the illusion Jhat she is having a good time, drinking il bit, dancing to the racket, of ~he juke box, and imagining wit and warmth in the conversation of others from the shop.

She lets Bert Piccard, a fellow worker generally rated a slob, escort her home, invites him in, leads him on and, a few weeks later, begins to suspect that she ia pregnant.

The suspicion becomes a cer­ tainty. What is she to do? For awhile she keeps her frightening IIecret. Then she seeks help.

Three courses appear to be open to her. One is to get Pic­ card to marry her. She tells him of her condition, and he is not adverse to marriage yet the prospect of being tied to anyone IJO pusillanimous, fretful, and

Seek Volunteers STUTTGART (NC) - Bishop Miguel Angel Garcia y Arauz of Jalapa, Guatemala, has visited the Netherlands, France and Germany in search of European priests willing to serve in his diocese. He said his see has only . one priest ,~or, eyery 28.9.0Q ,Gat!:).,.. ~li~ ,

Gracie considers having an abortion. She even takes some steps to see a doctor in Boston.

But revulsion against the crime overwhelms her, drives her out of the doctor's waiting room.

When finally she confides in her mother, the latter proposes that she go to a relative in Can­ ada and live there until after the birth of the child. This seems the solution; but it evaporates al­ most as it is proposed.

An answer is eventually forthcoming. It does not provide a happy ending, but, rather, an endurable continuation of life.

It strikes this reader, at least, as a trifle forced and anticli­ mactic, in view of what has gone before and in comparison with ,the realistic inevitability to which the author has doggedly hewed up to that point.

'Real Article' Mr. Cormier knows the people of whom he writes: their strengths and their weaknesses, their aspirations and frustra­ tions, the temptations and en­ trapments which beset them.

He paints them warts and all, yet he does so not only compas­ sionately but also with candid' and convincing appreciation of the genuine goodness that is in them, despite the surface petti­ ness of themselves and their cir. cumstances.

He writes simply but tren­ chantly. He wastes no motion, no words, and rigorously avoids decoration. But on page' after page one is gratified by the re­ velatory flash of' common-place yet incisively observed and cre­ atively used detail.

Mr. Cormier has made no great reputation. Perhaps he never will. But he ,is the real article, the superior of many another novelist of renown.

First Biography The first of what is sure to be a big company of biographies of the reigning pontiff is Pope Paul VI by Andre Fa-bert. It is a paperback (Monarch Books. 50, .cents). And it is not very: good.

The book is, for the most part, an incredible jumble. There are ,lightning transition; in time and place, and some matters are treated two or three times over in different sections of the book, with flat contradictions fairly common.

We are informed, for example, on anyone page that the Arch­ bishop of Paris warmly favored the priest worker movement, and on another that he was sternly opposed to it, and are given several versions of the reasons behind the assignment to Milan.

~e~~~~r~.s, male

Wen~eslaus Neumann came to the United States in 1839 from Bohemia, three years after his brother John. The next year they both joined the Redemptorists.

John Neumann chose the life of a priest and went on to become a bishop renowned for his sanctity.

Achieved Holiness Wenceslaus Neumann chose a Brother's life of quiet obscurity...

But when he died his associates felt that he too had achieved holiness.

Race Difficulties Distress Prelate, BATON ROUGE (NC) - The Bishop of Baton Rouge said here he is "distressed" at "alarming racial difficulties" and lamented that, Christian love of neighbor is not evident.

Bishop Robert E. TracY,writ­ ing in his regular column in the' Catholic Commentator, newspaper of the diocese, said of the racial incidents: "We pray that they may not lead to even more serious damage and bitterness."

"We' cannot fail to be dis­ tressed at the alarming' racial difficulties which we now read about daily in the press, some of them right at our own door­ step," he wrote.

"It is indeed sad," he said, "that the Christian law of love for one's neighbor has not pen­ etrated the scene in any effec­ tive way. Had it done so, these human difficulties could be discussed and ironed out in a harmonious and peaceful· man­ ner."

Seek to End Prayer Recital in Delaware WILMINGTON (NC) - Dela­ ware lias asked a Federal court to dismiss two cases challenging Bible reading and prayer recital in Delaware schools.

Delaware Atty. Gen. David P. Buckson's office argued that the U. S. District Court here' lacks jurisdiction over the cases which were filed on the' basis of U. S. Supreme Court rulings on sim. ilar cases in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Irving Morris, attorney for two couples attempting to halt the exercises, filed a motion asking tha·t the state law requiring the observances be ruled ineffective, without coming to trial, claiming it is unconstitutional.

The state argued that since the suits are against the state and filed without its prior con­ sent, "based upon the dOctrine "of. S,overeign. jmmun~ty>,.the suits cannot be, maint,ained." ~

Feehan Makes Auspicious Start With 12-0 Victory

Hoover to Speak At National eyO Meeting Nov. 16

By Juk Kine.vy

New Bedford High made its debute in Class A a memorable occasion with an impressive 20-12 victory over Lawrence High. The Crimson's ground attack proved to be the difference as backs Jimmy Carter and John Costa and the explosive sophomore Rehoboth, 20-0 loser to Barn­ Len Ramos churned up the stable, is at Old Rochester which Sargent Field sward behind absorbed a 30-0 lacing from the crisp blocking of the Case. And Vocational and Fair­ New Bedford forward wall.

Coach Nick Morris' erew busses up to Cambridge for a date this Saturday with Rindge Tech which last week entertained Worcester North. New Bed­ ford no doubt worked a good deal this week on pass defense in preparation for its meeting with the Cantabridgians and their fine passer Aubrey Flagg who last year tossed some 16 1C0ring aerials.

After an early first period 33­ yard scoring scamper by fleet halfback Bob Smith, the Attle­ boro-Durfee tilt became pretty much a defensive struggle be­ tween two big, mobile lines. The Jewelers remained in contention until the final minutes of the fourth period when the Hilltop­ pers, again sparked by Smith who returned an errant Attle­ boro pass to the Jewelers 16, capitalized on the strong running of Bob Klimka for the insurance TD. Durfee failed to convert and the final score remained 14-0.

Both Attleboro and Durfee de­ fenses will be tested again this Saturday judging from the ex­ plosive starts made by Taunton and North Attleboro against Vocational and Fairhaven. Coach Ham Lane's Taunton outfit ripped Vocational by a 31-0 count, while the carnage at Fairhaven Stadium saw the Rocketeers bury the Blue in a 49-0 debacle. North supposedly in a building year appeared *0 be any~hing bu~. The game marked the BCL 'debut of rival mentors, Art· 'Post 9f North .and Warren Griffin of Fairhaven.

Bishop Feeh~n High under Coach Chet Hanewich launched c. its first full season of varsit,. eompetition on a favorable note: with a 12-Q .victory over Prov- ' incetown. Ferrara and Pontalilo put the Green and Gold on the scoreboard twice and that wu the ball game as Feehan· defenses eontained the visitors. Feehan gets the distance travel award this week; they have a Saturda,. elate at Nantucket.

Things might have been worse for Fairhaven, New Bedford Vocational, Dighton - Rehoboth and Old Rochester last week but 'twould indeed be hard to con­ ..inee those directly concerned.

At an,. rate, better times are at hand, at least for two of them for this week they are paired against one another. Dighton-

Asks Boards to End Defiance of Rulings HARRISBURG (NC)-Charles H. Boehm, Pennsylvania Super­ intendent of Publie Instruction, has asked 10 school boards to end defiance of U. S. Supreme Court rulings and stop. Bible reading in schools.

The boards ignored an opinion from Pennsylvania Atty. Gen. Walter E: Allesandroni that Bible reading and prayer during opening exercises ill a violation of the U. S. Constitution accord­ ing to the U. S. Supreme Court'. decisions and should not be con_ tinued in Pennsylvania's public 8Chools.

HJ am certain that your board has not considered every aspect of the problem created by ibl decision. You are undoubtedl,. persuaded that the U. S. Su­ preme Court has erred and you desire to record ,.our protest.

haven whose difficulties were chronicled earlier, have a date at Sargent Field.

Three games shape up as ex­ cellent attractions in the Tri­ County circuit this week. Som­ erset, 16-6 victor over Bourne, entertains a good Barnstable team. Case travels to Wareham which last week posted a 19-6 victory over Falmouth and initial round losers, Bourne and Falmouth, are scheduled to go at it at Gov. Fuller Field.

A game which has no league significance but one which like all intra-town rivalries is bound to produce an all-out effort by both clubs is the Stang-Dart­ mouth clash in the Stadium.

Both posted tight victories in their initial starts. Dartmouth enjoyed a 14-10 margin over Cohasset, while Stang edged Coyle, 7-6 in a Monday game at Taunton. This will be the third meeting between the schools; each has one victory.

In other Southeastern. Mass. games this Saturday, Province­ town is at Martha's Vineyard, Hanover at Dennis-Yarmouth and West Bridgewater travels to Apponequet. Coyle High has a Sunday game with Matignon of Cambridge. This is the school which produced Patriot stars Art Graham of Boston College and Don McKinnon of Dartmouth.

The shift seems to be making its way back into football, though some might contend that it had never been totally aban­ doned. Used legitimately it has its proper place within the framework of the rules. All too often, however, players in shift­ ing resort to a quick, non-rhyth­ mic movement which simulates the beginning of a play and thus constitutes a violation of the rules. Who draws' the line?

It's jUdgment on .the part of the oHicial.

Shifting gears---once again the World Series is with us. Maybe it's just that we· haven't been' in • baseball-oriented 'atmosphere for some time here in New En­ gland but it seemed to me that in recent weeks - sinee . the clinching of the NL' pennant by the Dodgers,. particularly-that the national pastime had simply faded away. Only the retirement of the great Stan Musial and the • uccessful assault on the 350 games mark by the equally • rreat Warren Spahin lent inter­ est in the game. Let's hope the Series revitalizes us.

Surplus Food Aids Latin Americans LITTLE ROCK (NC) - U.S. wrplus food is playing a major role in the fight to win a decent life for the underprivileged masses of Latin America, a mis­ sionary said here.

"Starvation and disease are widespread in Latin America.

An income of two dollars a week does not go far in a family of six, seven or eight," said Father Joseph Lauro. . Father Lauro, a Little Rock diocesan priest, works in a parish of 22,000 souls in the slums of GuaY'aquil, Ecuador.

He is a member of the Mission­ ary Society of St. James' the ApOstle, an organization of dio­ cesan priests founded by Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, to do missionary work in Latin America.

Joint entertainment is ar­ ranged by them for their hosts, and the various parishes they visit. Prayers at the services and devotions are said in various languages to stress the interna­ tional character of the jamboree.

The prayers of the Rosary are chanted on the way, and silence is observed for long stretches.

The watchword for the parti­ cipants is "horizontal catho­ licity" which is to indicate that the brotherly spirit should be ... cultivated among aU believers on a worldwide scale, and be­ yond the limits of Catholic life..

CLEVELAND (NC) Elimination of poverty is "the unfinished business of

America, according to Father

Benjamin L. Masse, S.J. While the United States is an

affluent society, millions of

Americans dQ not enjoy this af­

fluence, the Jesuit priest, who

is an associate editor of America

magazine, told the National

Conference of Catholic CharitiCfl

convention.

"Their immediate goal in life

is not the acquisition of luxuries,

but the age-old struggle for

necessities - for food, clothing

and decent lodging," the Jesuit

editor declared.

Against Natural Law Canadian Prelate Warns Against Proposed Law for Child Adoption TORONTO (NC)- An arch­ bishop here issued a warning protest against efforts to change the Ontario province's child wel­ fare act so as to permit placing a child for adoption without consideration of religious affili­ ation.

H Those who would urge the state to believe it has the right to make a law that in effect per­ mits it to decide the religiou. affiliation of a child seem una­ ware that they are discussing and debating the philosophy of -human life itself," Coadjutor Archbishop Philip F. Pocock of Toron to said.

"They .also seem unaware that they are accepting a philosophy that goes against the natural law, that opposes the whole Judaeo-Christian tradition, that agrees with a materialistic, to­ talitarian philosophy of human life," he continued in a statment , published in the Canadian Register, new 9 pap e r of the Toronto archdiocese.

Preeminence of Sta'e "It is time that those who think thus be told exactly what

they are proposing as a philo­ sophy of human life, as a philo­ sophy of the state as a future for citizens of democracy, when they even imply that the state coiI1d make a law that would deprive a child of one religious affiliation and give it another," the prelate said.

"Many other pre - Christian philosophers shared the attitudes of Plato on the complete pre­ eminence of the state in de-' terming the destiny of children born within its jurisdiction. It was the development of the JUdaeo-Christian ideal of man - his dignity as an individual, his natural rights, his family rights, his freedom amongst his fellows - which preserved man from the fate' implied in the totalitarian philosophy of Plato and other pagan theorists •••"

Despite all our progress, the

elimination of poverty-the foe

of freedom-remains the unfin­

ished business of America."

While economists differ as to

what constitutes poverty and

deprivation, it can generally be

accepted that an income of less

. than $4,000 for a family and less

than $2,000 for an individual ie

inadequate in the United States,

Father Masse said.

Using those figures, he de­

clared, in 1960 there were more

than 10 million U. S. families

and almost four million unat­

tached individuals in the pov­

erty income group. That is 23

per cent of all families and 31

per cent of all individuals.

Normal Development "That is not a pretty picture of an affluent society, especially when it is remembered that a sizable number of low income families and individuals belong to minority groups which are victims of racial discrimination," he commented, saying the pros. .perity of a nation is measured . not merely by its gross national product but by how its overall wealth is distributed amone the population.

From a moral standpoint, Father Masse declared, true prosperity consists in an equit­ able distribution of national wealth among all, adding: '.'Only when men have some se­ eurity in thp. material conditioUi of life can they normally devel­ .'op III human beings." .
