Planning Changes In Naming System The National Conference of Catholic Bishops followed the strong plea made' by John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit in the opening session on Monday for "a mutual accountability in the Church for its ministry" by voting on Tuesday to set up a Committee for the Nomination of Bishops to give them a united voice and possible new influence regarding the Vatican's choice of American Bishops.

Cereals Could Wipe Out World Hunger in Decade ROME (NC)-New varieties of cereals yielding three times the normal grain harvest could "wipe out" hunger in the world within the next decade, an official of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has declared Proper introduction of such high-yielding from 5 million to 47 million acres.

But he warned that such varieties could "wipe out yields can be gained only if a undernutrition, and even number of requirements are fulhunger, that have been among the most permanent features of the history of man," said Dr. Otto Ernst Fischnich, assistant general director of FAO. Making his statement before FAO's biennial governing conference opened here, Fishnich, a Wt>st German, said that the performance of the new varieties has been "outstandingly promising."

"A 15 per cent increase in yield can be a very worthwhile advance. But when yields are doubled and tripled there is no doubt from' when the crops start ripening that something unusual is going on," he said.

Hs claimed that the new highyielding rice could be increased from 10 million acres to 100 million acres over the next 17 years.

Wheat could be expanded from 10 milion to 40 million acres, and maize, millet and sorghum

filled.

"Production of pure seed must be recognized as a first priority.

Yet in almost all developing countries seed production is one step behind in terms of development," he said.

Fertilizers, adequate water supply, land levelling, better land drainage systems, pests and disease were among other problems Fishnich cited.

He said that where sharecropping is widely practiced, tenure arrangements must frequently be changed "to give the cultivator a higher share of the profits' and the landowner a higher share of the costs."

Fishnich said that credit must also be made more available to farmers and extra facilities provided for drying, milling, processing and storing the increased yields.

Council of Catholic MIen Gives Diocesan Analysis DAVENPORT (NC) - The results of a study designed to utilize the fullest manpower, resources and facilities of a diocese were disclosed to Bishop Gerald F. O'Keefe of Davenport, Iowa.

Carried out by the NCCM Study Team, the report was described by NCCM as "one of the most ambitious and exhaustive self-analysis studies ever undertaken by an American Catholic diocese."

It will now become a planning process at all levels of the diocese. It was called the "Iowa Southeast Evaluation" to identify it as a study of the total community, not only the Catholic population. The total community was studied so ecumenism could be developed fUlly through the project.

The National Office for Black Catholics will be established by the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus, which represents a third of the 165 Negro priests and 800 Negro Sisters in the country.

The caucus had requested the support of the Bi.shops and $5,000 to finance the election of a 21-member of the board of directors by Negro priests, laymen, nuns and brothers. The Bishops did not specify this precise sum but agreed to finance the election and provide additional operating funds in the future.

Cardinal Cushing Clarifies Role of Catholic Hospital BOSTON (NC)-What is the Church doing in the hospital business? Richarrd Cardinal Cushing of Boston answered this question during an address at a banquet commemorating the lOOth anniversary of St. Elizabeth's Hospital in suburban Brighton.

"I think that an occasion Supreme Court like this one might be an opportunity to clarify certain To Review Smut aspects of this apostolate and make more comprehensible for our times the position of the Church in ministering to the needs of the sick and the suffering," Cardinal Cushing said.

He cited occasions in the Old Testament and many occurences in the New Testament where there are "examples of those who have turned to God in an extremity of trial or suffering and found themselves released from their illness."

The··prelate described how the apostles became involved in caring for the sick and said the tradition was continued in the early centuries by deacons, who eventually established small hospitals in Rome.

Local bishops in many places were sponsoring hospitals by the sixth century, Cardinal Cushing explained. Meanwhile, he continued, "a variety of religious orders had emerged for this special work with whatever skills and training the learning of the time allowed." .

The last 500 years have seen governments become more active in operating hospitals. "But, through all of this the continued interest of the Church has insured her involvement in all aspects of human healing and health," Cardinal Cushing said.

"I have recalled all of this tonight to demonstrate how from our very Christian origins we are involved in what has come to be called hospital work," he said.

"Not only does it spring from the pages of the Gospel itself, but it has a long history in the life of the institutional Church as it was lived by our fathers in the faith."

Mailing Law WASHINGTON (NC) The United States Supreme Court has agreed to review a federal law that requires mailers to stop sending "obscene advertisements to people who do not want to .receive them.

The court granted a plea by a group of mailers for a hearing, and later this term will review an April 30 decision by" a threejudge panel in California that the law is constitutional.

The court also agreed to hear its third draft case this term, this time an examination of the validity of the Selective Service System's delinquency regulations.

The Supreme Court started a two-week recess without ruling on the government request for more time to prepare and carry out desegregation plans in 30 Mississippi counties. The recess extends to Nov. 10, but the court could rule on the matter before then.

The suit was brought by the Legal' Defense and Education Fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

The Nixon Administration backed the. school districts in asking that integration be delayed from Sept. 1 to Dec. on grounds tha.t further time was needed to deal with administrative problems.

The Fund had asked the court to rule immediately in the case . and give the districts no more than eight days from the time of the ruling to desegregate.

Representatives of local priests' organizations should accompany their bishops to NCCB meetings and join in the national decision-making process.

The bishops should admit that thEfY need the NFPC. Structures should also be established to enable NFPC and the bishops to work together on a number of problems, such as vocations, continuing education, development of new spiritual life forms for priests, training of diocesan personnel workers, and cooperation in a study of the priestly ministry authorized last March by the bishops.

Cardinal Dearden emphasized the need for the establishment of circuit courts to enable diocesan marriage tribunals to give "the kind of pastoral consideration that is given to those now more favored." He said that requests made by the bishops to simplify marriage law procedures would help, but "will primarily be for the benefit of those living in the larger dioceses." People in smaller dioceses have problems, too, and' circuit courts, staffed with the experts now available only in metropolitan areas, would enable the Church to help them, better, he indicated.

Tax Exemptions Affect Freedom Of Religion NEW YORK (NC) -

THE ANCHORThurs., Nov. 13, 1969

Plan Pastoral Council Talks

An

Episcopal canon who helped found an informal group of young lawyers known as the Guild of St. Ives is fearful that if tax exemptions on church property are ended by the U.S. Supreme Court "freedom of religion will be imperiled" in this country.

The Rev. Canon 'Walter D. Dennis, of the cathedral of St. John the Divine, disclosed his views in an interview in which he discussed drawn up by the Guild under authorization. of the Episcopal Diocese of New York in response to a suit by a New York attorney, Frederick Walz.

Canon Dennis said the massive campaign by religious organizations against the suit, in the form of numerous briefs filed with the Supreme Court, shows that the tax exemption question is of major concern to religious organizations.

Other Briefs The most thorough examinatron of the question, he said, has been made in the brief filed by the United States Catholic Conference general counsel. This forecast the possible elimination of social welfare services performed by the churches, closing of church-related welfare institutions, government interference in church business, impairment of religious liberty and more taxes for individual citizens.

Other briefs have been filed by the National Council of Churches, the Synagogue Council of America and the National jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs, a voluntary Orthodox Jewish community organizations.

At issue is the contention of Walz, appealing from negative decisions by state courts, that the New York tax exemption on church property adds unfairly to his property tax burden and is a violation of church-state separation. The property owned by him is a 22 by 29 foot plot on Staten Island near a junkyard, valued at $100 and taxed at the rate of $5.24 per year.

Stine Debate "The worrisome factor about taxation for me as presented in the Walz case," Canon Dennis, a constitutional law expert, told NC News Service, "is that the church-or segments of it-has since colonial times been deeply involved in issues at one time or another which did not enjoy the blessings of the government."

He cited the' abolitionist movement, labor movement involvements and the current criticism of the Vietnam war.

"It is no accident that in all these movements, churches and clergymen played an important role . . . .The business of the church is to keep that critique going in the world.

"We must insist that the debate not be stifled by the government. This could be done if churches are taxed. If all tax exemptions were removed, the government could tax religious institutions in direct proportion to the criticism they mounted upon the government on any issue with which the government did not agree."

Losing Command He that will not command his his thoughts will soon lose the command of his actions.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Council of Catholic Men will sponsor a conference, the first of its kind, on "The Diocesan Pastoral Council" March 15 to 17 at the Bergamo Center for Renewal, Dayton, Ohio.

The meeting, one of the activities of the NCCM's 50th annivesary celebration, was arranged according to NCCM Executive Director Martin ~. Work. Bishops, priests and laymen from Catholic dioces~s throughout the country are. expected to participate.

"Diocesan pastoral councils are clearly one of the most important structures in the modem Church," Work said. "Through them the iaity along with the priests and Religious women share a co-responsibility with the bishops for the Christian life of the diocesan community.

"NCCM has pioneered during the last four years in the promotion and service of parish councils. Now it has decided to place its experience and program resources at the service of the Church to assist in the establishment and servicing of diocesan pastoral commissions.

"We hope that this first na路 tional conference will aid the dioceses of this country in initiating and strengthening the pastoral commissions called for by the Vatican council."

Pope Tells Workers 'Work and Pray' VATICAN CITY (NC)-"Work and pray."

That, with all its modern day complexities to do路 just, that, is the gist of a talk given by Pope Paul VI to a group of his former diocesans of Milan.

Speaking to 900 members of the Montecatini Edison Club, the Pope dealt with the delicate balance that allows the working man, after the satisfaction of his work, to turn to "the superior and spiritual good, the practice of prayer." The Pontiff likened this religious practice to the trait the Italians have developed so well, "the love of the family and' domestic conversation and solidarity."

Priest Declares Tra.ffic Safety Moral Problem

THE ANCHORThurs., Nov. 13, 1969

Refuses Permit For Mass March

CHICAGO (NC)-Traffic safety is a religious 'and moral problem, as well as a physical and educational one, Father James F. Cunningham; C.S.P., told safety experts meeting here.

"We have dinned into our ears hour after hour the problems of the Vietnam war," Father Cunningham said. "Yet, we have here a greater war free from alI the complexities of ideology and politics.

"In the past eight years we have lost 38,887 American lives in combat. In the past' eight months we have lost the lives of 36,330 people in highway traffic.

"Here there are no congressional medals, no Purple HeaJ;ts, and. no purpose; only a waste of God's precious gift of life," Father Cunningham continued.

"This calIs for the application of moral and ethical standards," he said.

Guilty of Sin Father Cunningham, pastor of Old St. Mary's Church here, was guest speaker at an early mornning devotional of the National Safety Congress. The Conference of Religious Leaders sponsored the devotional for :industrial safety engineers and others who work full time in accident prevention.

Father Cunningham said careless, imprudent, reckless, intoxicated, and distracted drivers are guilty of serious sin against society, their fellow men, and God. "Our land and our people are in danger not only from the 'destroyers' within or the enemy from without but from ourselves, our driving habits," Father Cunningham said: "Is 'it not' time now for church and religious leaders to add their voices to the plea that we be careful drivers?" he asked.

Examine Condition Of World Refugees WASHINGTON (NC)-A Na· tional Conference on World Refuget:: Problems to be held here Nov. 18-19 will mark the 10th anniversary of 1959's World Refugee Year and will be the first meeting in the United States devoted exclusively to world refugee problems since that time.

The meeting hopes to find a solution to the problem of what to do about the world's homeless and largely forgotten people -the almost 18 million refugees in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

Sponsored by more than' 60 American overseas relief, religious, civic affairs, professional, and union groups, the non-sectarian, non-partisan conference seeks to focus public attention in the U.S. on world refugee problems, the needs of refugees, and the efforts of American citizens to meet them. '

Predicts Nonpublic School Support NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans, addressing representatives of nearly 100 Catholic schools throughout the area, predicted that public aid to the non· public school sector will eventualIy be forthcoming.

"The cost of education is rising so 'precipitously it would make the best sense for alI the community," Archbishop Hannan stated. Increases in the cost of education are occuring at a much faster rate than increases in income, he added.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. Department of Justice refused to grant a permit to an ,anti-war group for a mass march on Pennsylvania Avenue here Nov. 15.

The department said in a statement that a sizeable march on the main route from the Capitol to the White House risked "the possibility of violence flowing from the downtown business and 1 esidential area."

It also cited "reliable reports" that some demonstrators plan to "foment violence or to stage confrontations. " The Justice Department sug· gested that the sponsors of the march, The New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, confine it to a twoblock wide stretch of grass and trees that runs from the Capitol - to the Washington Monument.

The New Mobilization Committee issued a statement deny· ing that any violence was planned and accusing the Justice Department of bad faith during negotiations for the permit. Four meetings were held between department officials and members of thll committtee.

"We vehemently deny," a com· mittee spokesman said, "that any New Mobilization group is plan.

Establishes Urban Affairs Department CARA Studies WASHINGTON (NC) - The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) announced the establishment of a Department of Urban Affairs.

Under contract as "the research arm" of the Task Force on Urban Problems of the United States Catholic Confer· ence, the new CARA 'urban department aims to discover practical information for use in the Church's urban apostolate. This will include the areas. of health, welfare, housing employment, education and community organization.

In announcing formation of the department, CARA's president, John Cardinal Krol of Phil'adelphia, said "CARA is grateful not only to Msgr. Aloysius Welsh, executive secretary of the USCC Task Force, .whose leadership encouraged CARA to establish this new unit, but also to the Holy Cross and Josephite Fathers and the Sisters of Charity of Divine Providence for their vision and cooperative efforts which have made possible this unique U.S. venture." , K of C Grant Cardinal Krol added that "from its beginnings CARA has developed various urban-related projects, but this new unit en- ~ abies the center to focus its attention in an integrated,' coor· dinated way on the religiops and social needs of the poor."

A three-year grant of $25,000 yearly from the Knights of Columbus to the USCC Task Force, added to the financial contributions of CARA, the Josephite Pastoral Institute, and the religious communities, helped get the CARA department underway.

"This gift from the Knights of Columbus," Cardnial Krol said, "has enabled both the Task Force and CARA to develop re-

A Joint Effort

~ ~f)

\,

The Holy Father has told a weekly audience that the work of renewal and reform in the Church must be a joint effort. It is not the prerogrative of one individual or of a few to decide what is good for the Church and to put this into action with or without. the: guidance aI!d leadership of those whose role it is to be the guides of and in the Church.,

CONCORD (NC) - The New Hampshire Supreme Court said in an advisory opinion that Catholic schools

The Holy Father insists, of course, that every individual must reform his own life. Each person must start renewal in the Church with himself.

But in those matters that effect the whole Churchin matters of liturgy and canon law and general Church discipline-there must be a harmonious working of all members toward a goal' established by the shepherds of God's Church after consulting the needs of. the people but always in accord with the Will of God. It is to invite chaos for every person who thi~ks he has a good idea to decide in which direction the Church must go. Christ has set up the Church' with variou~ ,individuals with a variety of functions, and there are those -the Pope and bishops-whose function it is to be the', Fathers of the Church and its gUides a,nd teachers.

These need to hear the voices ,of all the, people: They can be enlightened by the opinions and il1sight of others.

But theirs is the role to carry, on the work of' the Apostles and they can neither yield the role to others -nor have it , , usurped by others.

'The Pope insists that renewal is a joint effort. It must proceed very much like a convoy of ships. Each ship' must :be right within itself; each ship must be right in its relation with every other ship; and the whole convoy " must be right in its ul~imate direction.

Only then will the journ~y b,e made safely.

And, if the convoy and the ships, in 'it. do not seem to be moving as quiCkly as som~ would de&.ire, then they must call upon their charity toward others. And;' by"the outstanding example' of their own liv~s;',:theymustso inspire others and the whole that the passage will gain strength and speed from their goodness.

The opinion- was requested by the state legislature which has before it several. bills for financial aid to parochial and other nonpublic schools.

The opinion was issued amidst a growing financial crisis for parochial schools in New England and throughout the country.

"Out state constitution bars 'aid to sectarian schools and institutions and religious sects or denominations," the court said.

"But it is our, opinion that since secular education serves a public purpose, it may be supported by tax money if sufficient safeguards are provided to prevent more than incidental and indirect benefit to a religious sect or denomination," Among measures in the legislature which would be affected by the ruling is one which would give parents of nonpublic school children exemptions of $50 per pupil on property taxse.

Another measure which would allow nonpublic school pupils to use public school textbook,S was found to be constitutional by the court. The court also found no objection to a bill to allot public money for such items as health and g\.Jidance services for nonpublic schools.

Minister Center Of Controversy In New Zealal1ld DUNEDIN (NC) - The propriety of a minister or priest going into a bar and having a glass of beer with the men there is being hotly debated in New Zealand at the moment.

The debate stems from the decision of parishioners of a South Dunedin Methodist parish to seek a change of minister because their present parson, the Rev. David Besant, has been going into a local hotel pub every Friday night for a year and having two beers.

The first time he went, just after the country introduced 10 P.M. closing of bars against the previous 6 P.M. closing, he took a layman with him "to save making too much of a fool of myself."

On that occasion he did not wear his clerical collar, and he drank lemon squash. Then he switched to beer and began wearing his collar.

The Rev. Besant said he goes to'the hotel to learn-not to preach and teach. He finds himself accepted by the men.

He said that a minister needs to to do more than just stay in his church and hope people will come.

'Mixed' Experiences In an article he wrote for the Methodist Church paper in New Zealand, the New Zealand Methodist, he said that his experiences since the first hotel bar visit had been "gloriously mixed."

"I have accepted invitations to attend midnight Mass at the local Roman Catholic Church and to go to the night trotting (races) twice and to the races at Wingatui (one of New Zeland's leading tracks) once," he said. "With all that has happened since my first going to the hotel, far from feeling guilty I have experienced a kind of holy communion."

Publication of the news that a majority of his parshioners had asked the minister to move on brought an immediate reaction from the hotel patrons. They presented him with a fine clock.

In the newspapers, cartoonists took up the subject, with Sid Scales, one of the country's most humorous newspaper car· toonists, producing one that showed a customer ordering a beer for a parson and tel1ing the barman to "put a collar on it, please."

P"araguay Priests Expect Expulsion ASUNCION (NC) - Church sources here expect more priests to be arrested or expelled, fol. lowing the excommunication of government leaders responsible for the beating of several priests and Religious who, were protesting the expulsion of a Jesuit.

A clandestine report circulating here and abroad (the Catholic weekly Comunidad was confiscated) said that "the government has increased the list of priests it wishes to expel from the country."

"Besides several Jesuits, the list includes some secular priests of great influence," the report added.

Father Francisco de Paula Oliva, S.J., a professor at Cath'olic University here and a youth moderator, was expelled after he joined student efforts to obtain the release of several youth leaders.

Lists Functions For Ecumenism DETROIT (NC) - Communal prayer, scriptural study, and social witness are vital functions in a framework that must be used to further expand the growing ecumenical movement in churches across the country, according to Father David Bowman, S.J., special assistant ~or ecumenical services to the gen· eral secretary of the National Council of Churches.

"All three are necessary to make a faith," he told an ecumenical relations luncheon here.

Held at Central Methodist Church, the meeting was for representatives of the Metropolitan Detroit Council of Churches and the Archdiocesan Ecumenical Commission.

Father Bowm:m suggested that the coming Week of Pray· o er for Christian Unity be used as an opportunity to increase ecumenical ties on a local level.

"We are particularly desperate to get youth involved in this Week of Prayer" Father Bowman said. "They are staying away in as great numbers as there are of them," PREVIEW OF SMILES: You can multiply the S:lliles a million times by sending in children's The joint mission of churches clothes outgrown by, your own chilClren.

MILWAUKEE (NC)-The Conference of Major Superiors of Women Religious - Milwaukee has issued a statement urging legislators to' restore welfare levels cut from the state budget.

The conference represents all religious communities of women in the Milwaukee archdiocese.

"Recent legislative financial cuts in the urban aid bill reduce life among the poor to a level below that of human dignity," the statement said.

"In addition to this, cutbacks in educational funding' in regard to language skill centers, educational opportunity centers and teacher aides will bring to a halt many promising innovative programs.

"The total effect of· all such cutbacks leaves no alternative to the poor but to be caught in a cycle of poverty."

Similar statements, urging state assemblymen to' restore cuts in ,the welfare budget or pass new legislation. restoring welfare aid levels, have been endorsed by Auxiliary Bishop Leo J. Brust of Milwaukee, Father Donald Richards, president of the Milwaukee Inner City Prie'sts .Conference, the Milwaukee chapter of the Knights of Columbus, and by the Mequon province of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. .

By Marilyn Roderick' My sister-in-law (Joe's sister Betty) graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design some years ago 'and with her in the 'graduating class were three very good friends of hers who were to go on to become up and coming' designers in New York.

The most recent article that I read about' him verified my belief that he's a designer after my own heart. In this interview he made the comment that. he was designing for the women in the 25 to 40. age range. , . .'. , This was heartening news, for up until I read .this I was positive that as far as designers and buyers were co~cerned we were all Peter Paris and that no one ever grew old. .

At least, that was the impression I received every time I ventured into any of the area stores.

Young clothes abound but the more mature woman has a selection about as narrow as a street in Provincetown. If you don't . want to swing, yqu'd. better take up sewing or find yourself a little dressmaker.

Out of Place Some of the young styles I find' quite delightful but I must admit that they look a lot better on a seventeener than on me. Let's face it, unless one can spend a 'few w:eeks periodically at Maine Chance or some other luxurious beauty resort, age has a way of creeping up and catching one unaware and nothing is more ludicrous than an over-30 female . trying to look 13.

Tight leather skirt, knee boots and babushka may look' great at a campus peace march but are a bit out of place at .a P-TA meeting.

Oddly enough, most of the women I know bemoan the fact that they are forced to buy these young-looking fashions simply because the stores are definitely on a youth kilck. Most women don't want to look like their daught ers -;- they want a chic but mature look that is becoming hard to find in 'ready-to-wear.

but that we were to be in such great shape that we would .be able to throwaway all· our foundations, etc. and join .the freedom of, body c~lt of the very young.

It's not bad enough that I've been forced to show. my veiny legs, but now I have to reveal all my other figure faults! Whatever happened" to growing old gracefully? . .

Glimmer of Hope Mr. Narducci's statement 'did bring a glimmer of hope into this bleak fashion picture, because if designers only realize that there are people over 25 they may start creating styles fQr us again! . For his most recent. collection this designer is keeping, his silhouette soft and feminine and practical. His dresse's are fullskirted, iong sleeved and' scarfed at the neckline. Although up-tothe-m'imite' they project an image that looks better on the mature than on the young thing.

Supreme Committee for Liberation of Lithuania. '" Father Kunevicius was one of the signers of a memorandum presented to Moscow.

Father, Kunevicius read the official letter to his parishioners and explained all the circumstances. The police then attempted to force him to sign a resignation from his duties in the parish.

When he refused, the authorities ordered the communist-controlled parish committee to initiate an action against him to paralyze church services. But the parishioners supported the priest.

Then the authorities arrested Father Kunevicius and deported him. It was later reported that he was in a forced labor unit nar Vilnius. .

A Paris-based Polish-language magazine "Kultura" also reported the observations of recent Polish visitors to Lithuania that religious persecution is increasing there.

The magazine article said that only five of the 34 churches in Vilnius remain open. Only one seminary is allowed to function -and is subjected to various re-

strictions and harrassments.

Only two new churches were built in Lithuania in the last 30 years.

Marilyn.'s White El.eph'ant Becomes Gr:eat Success'

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick Whenever Marilyn mentions the word auction cold chills go up and down my spine because I know she will return home with some monstrosity that she thinks has "character." Last Summer she did just that, but her character piece was too large for her to carry home and I Christmas Club check, but just think of the happy smiles Christfound myself borrowing a mas morning. beach wagon to pick it up.

While I wouldn't recommend Her find turned out to be a massive oak chest made up of a mirror, a two-drawer cJothes chest and a small, attached chest about the size of a bedside table.

All this she had purchased for $50. My first thought frankly was "What kind of a nut have I married?"

After much huffing and puffing we finally managed to get the monster into the basement.

My first impulse was to smash the whole thing with a sledge hammer because it was in such terrible shape that I couldn't imagine doing anything worthwhile with it, and the sooner I got rid of it the better. As it turned out, I was able to dismantle the three pieces so .that I began to envision a large wall mirror, a second chest for our bed room, and thirdly a small bedside table. ' After much scraping, sandpapering and under-the-breath cursing I managed to get down to the natural wood and the pieces started looking like something. A friend gave us a formula for finishing oak and we were on the way.

We picked up some polyurethane (clear shellac-like substance) and gave each piece four or five coats, with considerable light sanding in betwen. After the final coat was applied we proceeded to rub the wood with a mixture of pumice powder and linseed oil (mixed to form a thick liquid).

This was followed by a mixture of rottenstone and linseed oil rubbed vigorously into the surface and then wiped' clean.

The resulting finish _amazes me.

We have now placed the three pieces in our bedroom and I can't quite believe that my wife had the wisdom to pick them up so cheaply.

What really amazes me is that I was able to do the job. Normally anything I try turns out to be a passable mess, but these pieces are really almost professional looking. Usually I show my projects to people and spend most of my time apologizing for the job I've done. This time, for what I think is a first, I can stand by with my arms crossed to hide my expanding chest, and revel in compliments.

In the Kitchen When you're stumped by someone on your gift list who has everything, turn to the Christmas book from that famous Texas department store and your worries will be over. You'll be able to gift that difficult person with anything from a small baby elephant for $5,000 to a kitchen computer for $10,600. That should put quite a dent in your

Declares -History Upholds Church Tax Exemptions WASHINGTON (NC) -

There's a lot of history backing American churches in their battle to retain tax exemptions on their property.

Church representatives can say' church property has never b~en taxed in the United States and there is no reason to begin now.

Their opponents, however, liken the situation to the pre-Wright brothers era when people said that since man has not flown he should not begin to fly.

Change in attitudes and needs is a weapon in the hands of those like Frederick Walz of New York who has taken his battle ag'ainst church tax exemption!:! to the United States Supreme Court.

Walz ·attacks the exemption of churches _on the grounds that the statutes are laws "respecting an establishment of religion" and alleged to be in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

However, the general counsel of the United States Catholic Conference, in a friend of the court brief filed with the U. S. Supreme Court, points out: Compelling Argument "The unswerving historical acceptance of the legality and propriety of real property tax exemptions for' church properties in' this country since its formatiOn in 1787 up to the present time .constitutes an unusually compelling argument in support of the constitutionality of such exemptions. .

The brief argues that this' "unbroken constitutional tradition should not now be immutably prohibited by this cour!."

The brief points out that, although the Constitution does not refer to tax exemptions and that there was no 'discussion about the practice during the Constitutional Convention, most of the original 13 states passed statutes specifically exempting re!igious property from taxation after the adoption of the First Amendment.

Mass. Among First The brief cites Virginia, "the birthplace of modern religious liberty," which "saw nothing incompatible between complete disestablishment and tax exemption for religious prop~rty." It adopted such a statute i.n 1800.

Massachusetts, the brief notes, was one of the first of the original states to embody authoriza-· tion for tax exemption for churches.

"In general," it states, "the exemption accorded houses of worship have been considered to ,be an outgrowth of achieving the . lofty aims set forth in the constitutional language which, in effect, is 'a mandate to the legislature of the state of Massachusetts."

The brief also cites similar actions in Maryland, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia as mOre examples in building the historical argument for tax exemptions.

Back Sex Education in Catholic Schools Bishops See ·9bligation to Assist Pa rents NEWARK (NC)-The bishops of New Jersey. have ,,issued, a 10int past-oral' letter supporting a program of sex education in Catholic schools of the state.

The letter was released to the press in' advance of being read in churches throughout the Sees of the state. If was signed by Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark, Bishop Lawrence B. Casey of' Paterson, Bishop George W. Ahr of Trenton, Bishop George H. Guilfoyle of Camden, and Bishop Michael. J. Dudick of the Byzantine Eparchy of Passaic.

Taking note of the present controversy over sex education in New Jersey, the bishops wished to make their position clear arid "in doing so, we repeat the affirmation of our fellow American bishops in the pastoral letter, 'Human Life in Our Day,' regarding '* * * the value and necessity of wisely planned education of children in human sexuality, adapted to the maturity and background of our young people.' " "Let there be no misunderstanding," the bishops said..

"Parents are the primary educato).s of their children in sexual matters. They should fulfill this role from the earliest years of' childhood 'by helping their children to form proper sex attitudes by their own personal example, their home life and the natural bond that exists with their children."

"We appreciate the concern which parents express over any outside source usurping their parental role," the bishops declared. But they added: "Nevertheless, experience shows that many parents feel unable or are unwilling to provide adequate education in human sexuality. Further, the continuous overemphasis on false sexual concepts in our culture demands a cooperative effort of parents and teachers to reinforce proper moral values.

"Therefore~ as shepherds of souls 'and concerned cQllaborators with parents, We recognize our· obligation to assist the family, in its efforts to provide sound sex education.

The bishops said the' basic purpose of such education "is to help one achieve a fuller knowledge of himself as a person and as a Christian, and to gain a deeper appreciation of the dig,nity of human love."

Face Serious Challenges To foster these goals the bishops announced the formation of .an Inter"Diocesan Sex Education Committee. The committee is to 'develop diocesan-wide .programs of, adult education, establish' training programs for teachers and develop "in cooperation with Catholic parents effective programs in the Catholic schools and Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes."

In their introductory remarks the bishops said that families "face serious challenges in fulfilling their essential role." Social. changes and scientific progress, they said, have produced som'e "infortunate by-products, ,such as excessive secularization,

Prelates. i.n India Aid Riot Victims NEW DELHI (NC)-The Indian bii"hops' relief organization, Catholic Charities India (CCI), has donated $2,000 for victims of the September Hindu-Moslem riots in Gujer-at state.

The amount includes $660 sent to Bishop Edwin Pinto, S.J., of Ahmedabad to be entrusted personally to Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, a Moslem leader of Afghanistan, who is now touring the riot-affecter areas. .

The rest of the donation will be handled personally by the bishop who also received 25 bales of clothes from CCI for the relief operations.

Participants in the program will include Dr. Mary Calderone, director of the Sex Information and Educational Council of the United States (SIECUS)-an organization which has been in the forefront of the sex education controversy in this country today; Dr. Max Levine, a prominent author on the subject of sex education; Capt. (Dr.) James Semnons, U.S.M.C., of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, U.S. Naval Hospital, Oakland, Calif., and Father Robert Syriney cif the Denver archdiocesan Family Life offic~, in Lakewood, Colo.

At the business meeting, final plans will be made for the forthcoming International Federation meeting, to be held in Washington, D.C., in October, 1970, which will bring together doctors from all over the world. This is the first time such a meeting has been held in the United States.

Adoption of an aid plan during next year's session would make the funds available to nonpublic schools for the 1970-71 school year, the government told some 1,500 persons here.

Ogilvie indicated he would again sponsor legislation to appropriate state funds to pay a portion of the costs of teaching secular subjects in nonpublic schools. He urged a newly createa legislative commission studying the aid problem to expedite hearings and submit its findings before the 1970 session begjns in April.

BOSTON (NC)-Richard' Cardinal Cushing of Boston called 'upon pdests and laity of the archdiocese to reaffirm their efforts to reach a $50 million goal in the current Jubilee campaign here.

He deplored a trend in unfilled pledges. saying: "The amount that will be lost if this trend continues is staggering. At best the loss will amount to $10 million and may reach $15 million. Every activity in the archdiocese 'will suffer," Cardinal Cushing also noted: The cost of every activity 'in the archdiocese is increasing at an alarming rate. including central high schools. CCD. Newman Centers. seminaries. housing and support for retired clergy, and urban projects.

A continued decline in archdiocesan income from parish collections and other sources. , A current deficit in excess of $4.5 ,nillion in the annual operating budget.

At lower left, panelists include Sister Vera, S.U.S.C., head of Bishop Cassidy High School .En~Ush: ~epa.rtment; State Rep.

Prelate R'enews Pledge to Keep School Program CINCINNATI (NC) Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati has renewed his pledge to maintain the educational program of his archdiocese with its traditional primary emphasis on Catholic schools at the parish level.

At the same time he emphasized that "we are frankly not satisfied with continuing in the status quo" and proposed a four-point program of improve·ment, extension, change, and "some redirection" for the school system, including. a "sharing of authority" instead of the old "pastoral dictatorship, benign as it might have been."

This program, Archbishop Leibold pointed out, "very simply and clearly declares the Church's continued interest in education and Catholic schools to carry out the program, and the parallel obligation of parents to send their children to such schools, and of all Catholics to support them-but all with a new insistence upon the integration of Catholic education in the whole pattern of human life in all fts aspects."

Expressing his dissatisfaction with the status quo, "as enviable as that might have been in relation to the numbers involved in - our school system and the security blanket it provided," Archbishop Leibold declared: "We bluntly will continue to agitate our school office, teachers, parents, and even 'pastors with what we might calI a fourfold development program."

Black Demands MILWAUKEE (NC) The Black Student Union (BSU) at Marquette University demanded the dismissal of a professor who had been involved in an incident with a black student. Other demends include 150 more brown, black, needy white students by next year; more minority professors; programs for minority studies; and establishment of a minority culture center.

Diocesan School Leaders 'Lay It oli Line' In Probing Taunton School Situation

By Dorothy Eastman "Can the parochial schools in Taunton survive?" was the question, posed last week to a panel of experts at a forum sponsored in Taunton by the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women. "Not'without state aid" seemed to be the' consensus of the panelists~ A state legislator told the overflow audience at St. Paul's church hall that the 'General Court had just appointed a commission to study the subject private schools open," Aleixo first problem-the lack of re' ligious as teachers for parochial in depth. Their report will be said.

The special study commission schools-leads to the second given in 15 months. headed by Rep. George Rogers of problem, that of finance.

"That's like telling a guy in a sinking boat to hold on a little bit longer," shot back the pastor' of one beleaguered parochial school.

"Parochial school education is the concern of. the whole community," Moderator Rev. John Moore told the audience. There are 3,328 students in Taunton elementary and secondary Catholic schools, he said, over one· third the school population of Taunton.

Panelist William Casey, assistant superintendent of schools in Taunton, said that parochial school pupils comprise 21 per cent of the school population throughout the rest of the state.

Staggering Impact The impact on the city of Taunton would be staggering, he said, if all parochial schools were forced to close. "The annual budget in Taunton for the public schools is $4.1 million a year.

That would go up to $6 01'$7 million if parochial schools closed," he warned.

Mr. Casey explained the disadvantaged position Catholic schools are in when they are not el.igible for federal aid that is given to public schools in abundance. \ State Representative Theodore Aleixo explained for the audience of concerned parents that the state' government was as concerned as they to keep parochial schools operating.

"The Mace report that came out in March, detailing the effect on the state educational system of sudden closing of parochial schools brought home to us the fact that we have a $200 million annual stake in keeping

New Bedford will begin hearings soon ,to investigate legal ways that state money could be provided to parochial schools.

"The commission must be ceftain, however, that their recommendations can meet a constitu- . tional test," Aleixo said. The commission has a mandate to report its findings by January 1971.

Sister Vera, head of the Bishop Cassidy High School English department, represented on the panel the Religious of the Holy Union who have taught in the parochial schools of Taunton for the past 75 years.

Research does not support the : often heard complaint that Catholic school education is inferior t(~ public school education, she said. In reality the two systems can't be compared because they have different goals," she declared.

"You, the members of this community, must decide if you want our parochial schools to continue," she told the audience. "Or do you want a monopolistic educational system?"

Two Main Problems Sister Mary Urban, assistant to the Diocesan superintendent of schools, told the audience' that there are two main problems currently facing. parochial education.

The first aspect of the problems relates to vocations. "Young people no longer feel the need to enter a community in order to serve God and. man," she said, adding that many young people today seem to prefer such programs as Vista and the Peace Corps." Added to this, many religious are no longer willing to be channeled into teaching. This

"The median cost per pupil throughout the state is $600 per year,'· Sister said, "and that's a far cry from what parents of children in Catholic schools are being asked to pay."

"Take a typical elementary school with 300 children, each paying $100 a year tuition, bringing in income of $30,000 a year.

Say you have four lay teachers with salaries of $6,000 each and five religious at $1700 a year each. That's costing that parish $33,500 a year in salaries alone," she explained.

Cannot Go On "From the Diocesan school office we've said to the parochial schools: 'you cannot continue in this state.' We simply cannot go on as we have been going."

"The public schools know we have a problem. They've offered us sympathy. We met recently with all the legislators of the southeast area. They offered us sympathy. We don't want sympathy," she said.

The state reimburses the city of Taunton for every child educated in the city regardless of whether he is in public or parochial school, she told the audience. "It all goes to the public school system. They must share it."

"Lay salaries comprise 80 per cent of our budgets/' she said.

"We've practiced economy to the hilt and yet I'm willing to show our testing results to anyone and say 'match it'."

Our challenge to the state of· ficials and to the local school departments is: 'Open the chanels of communication and let's do something for the parochial schools of Taunton,' Sister said Turn to Page Sixteen

Support Priest's School Prayer DES MOINES (NC)-The Iowa Federation of the Citizens for Educational Freedom, a group concerned with rights of nonpublic schools, has endorsed a prayer composed last Summer for Iowa's public school students

by Father James K. Lafferty, Sioux City, Iowa, diocesan superintendent of schools.

The prayer called the Prayer . of the Patriot, and comprised of the second and final sentences of the Declaration of Independence, "may be recited in Iowa's publ!c schools without violating state law," the CEF statement ·said. It also included a suggestion that local citizens' groups request their school boards to make use of it in public schools.

Text of the prayer is as follows: "We hold these truths to be self-eVident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Ask Abrogation ,Of 17 Outmoded Church Laws CLEVELAND (NC) -The requirement that ~very parish have a parochial school is no longer either possible of attainment or desirable in today's world.

That observation was embodied in a report to the Canon Law Society of America, recommending that "the remaining conciliar legislation of Baltimore not already supplanted or abrogated by subsequent legislation be abrogated."

The committee, reporting to the society's 31st annual meeting here, said the school decree was one of 17 such laws still, on the books.

The committee, headed by Father Dennis J. Burns of the archdiocese of Boston's Metropolitan Tribunal, was said to have made the study at the request of the economical affairs committee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB). .

It pointed out that the purpose of the laws no longer existed, or the purpose could be provided for adequately in some other way.

Banklng Operations The committee therefore recommended that the American hierarchy ask the Holy See to abrogate totally what remains of that legislation drafted by seven provincial and three plenary councils in the 19th century.

Other such legislation includes prohibitions against the clergy engaging in banking operations - some now do - and against clergy attending certain types of public performances.

The banking ban was, ad. dressed to a problem peculiar to an age when immigrants were distrustful of established banks.

A bishop in Cincinnati became involved in civil suits over his banking practices.

Divorce, Remarric.ge The committee also noted that 19th century statutes requiring specific ecclesiastical permission for a civil divorce and automatically excommunicating a person marrying again after divorce go beyond the general law of the Church.

Revocation of these statutes', Father Burns said, would not legitimize the second marriage but would remove the additional penalty of excommunication.

Others on the committee were Msgr. Charles J. Plauche of New Orleans and Father J. Richard Keating of. Chicago, as canonists, and Father Robert F. Trisco of the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., as historian. Father Romaeus O'Brien, O. Carm., of the Catholic University's school of canon law also served with the committee.

Seek 'Very Special Woman' For Post of Supervisor

By Patricia McGowan

Needed: a very special woman with a lot of love. That's the first thing Eunice Healey, director of the Homemaker-Home Health Aide Service of Greater Fall River said about qualifications for a position she's trying desperately to fill, that of home~aker supervisor for the agency. Mrs. Healey is not an "uninvolved" social worker. She cares tremendously about the people helped by her agencythe aged, chronically ill, families with children-and to

supervise her workers she wants someone who shares her compassion.

Right now she has someone, ,Mrs.. Lewis Morley, who from 1947 to 1958 headed the District Nursing Association of Fall River and since that time has been involved with diverse public health projects. But family obligations dictate Mrs. Morley's retirement at the end of this , month, hence the pressing need of finding a replacement for her.

"All my professional life I saw ~he need of a homemaking program to follow up on nursing care," said Mrs. Morley, whose career in public health has been oustanding, including service as the first director of nurses for the Rhode Island state health department and later as director of nurses for the Providence city health department.

Realizing the need for homemakers, Mrs. Morley served on the civic committee that originated Fall River's agency, then became a member of Homemaker-Home Health Aides' board of directors. She was the natural one to tap for assistance when paperwork and scheduling connected wi!h the agency's ever-increasing caseload became an almost full-time job for Mrs. 'Healey.

"I'm not in. the office much," said M;rs. Morley. She averages five to six home visits daily, calling on applicants for homemaker service, checking on those already receiving assistance and often aiding on-the-job homemakers in problem situations.

Evaluate Homes "I evaluate homes," said Mrs. Moriley, "follow up cases to be ' sure that family needs are being met', and help our homemakers progress in skills and knowledge."

She has high praise for the homemakers themselves, mature women who "are .really dedi-· cated people, not working for money alone." She notes that homemaking is a "beautiful way of giving community service" and may often Jill, a vacuum in the homemaker's own life if her children are grown and no longer in need of care. "You certainly feel needed in this type of work!" she said. , Even more does the supervisor feel needed. "Almost without exception our calls are for immediate aid," said Mrs. Healey.

Double Mystery At Razed Church CHICAGO (NC) - There's a double mystery at the pile of rubble on Jackson Boulevard here that once was St. Jarlath's Catholic church. One mystery is ju!tt about as heavy as the other -something like 3,000 or 4,000 pounds of mystery.

A wrecking firm moved in a crane to lower a 2,OOO-pound bronze bell from' the 90-foot high tower of the old church building. But the job already had been done-sometime during the night, by persons and meth'o"ds unknown.

Ray Nardi, head of the wrecking firm, was at a loss to explain how the heavy bell was lowered from the belfry. The best he could do was: "It happened on Halloween."

But there were marks on the ground indicating where the bell had been lowered and then 'dragged toward the street. Nardi said even as scrap the bell was worth more than $1,000.

Equally mysterious was the disappearance of a heavy marble Madonna statue taken from the church a few weeks before the hell disappeared.

Crash Orientation Program in India NEW DELHI (NC) - India's standing committee on the application of Second Vatican Council decrees has decided to undertake "a crash program of orientation" among tne country's Catholics.

Cautions on Aid

MONTCLAIR (NC)-The president of the New, Jersey State Board of the Ancient Order of Hibnernians has cautioned IrishAmericans against responding to appeals for Northern Ireland coming from Bernadette Devlin or the National Association for Irish Justice. . .

The NAIJ sponsored the fiery Miss Devlin's fund-raising tour of the United Sta,t~s last August, after a"severe outbreak of violence in Norther~ IriMnd.· """"'' ... ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''':'''''''':'''''''~'''''''''''.'''''' ...'' ':""".."""",,,,, spot decisions, as . to the best handling of problems."

But somewhere there's a very special woman· who meets these qualifications. Maybe she's a volunteer worker with that magic personal touch who's spent years developing just the skills needed now by the homemakers. Maybe she's someone who's been wondering for a long time how to translate her love of God and man into concrete terms.

She should contact Mrs. Healey at the Homemaker-Home Health Aide Service, 101 Rock Street, Fall River 02720, or tele.. phone her at 672-9841.

This could be her "now moment."

Eugene J. Byrne, state AOH president, said Irish-Americans associating with Miss Devlin or with the NAIJ will find they have been duped by persons using the Northern Ireland conflict to further their own ends.

He described Miss Devlin as a leader of the Northern Irish "People's Democracy," and called that organization "a radical, revolutionary socialist group."

He said it is "seeking to 'radicalize' the Catholic and Protestant workers in Northern Ireland and link the struggle there to the 'concept of the international proletarian revoltion' so that, according to one of its leaders, they can create a sodalist workers' republic."

Bqrne took note of the "favorable and rather extensive coverage" given to Miss Devlin's August tour by the communist press and "her frequent characterization of the struggle in Northern Ireland as a 'class struggle.'''

He also said that she !has often expressed a desite "to see a united socialist Ireland."

He asked Irish-Americans to "pause and study the facts before giving further !!UPport to Miss Devlin and the NAI.JJ."

Writer Shows Voters Open To Manipulation, Deception

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy.

Joe McGinniss, author of The Selling-of the President 1968 (Trident Press, 630 Fifth Ave., New ~ork, N:Y. 100~0, $5.95), cannot be styled a partisan of PresIdent NIxon. ~IS­ like of Mr. Nixon pervades his book like the reek of leaking gas. But he is concerned not But the' fact of the matter is so much with the man himthat what the communications self as with, some of the experts devised in this instance, / methods used to sell him to eventually went sour, as the the American electorate last year, specifically through the medium of television.

Mr. McGinniss, who must be a clever dissembler, obviously had easy entree to sessions of the principal planners of the Nixon television campaign. These' advertisingspecialists sweated to' create an image of the candidate which the buy. , They did not want to project the man himself nor did. they address themselves to issues. Their objective was to induce voters to' make a psychological purchase of a figment of their techniques. . How they went about this is Mr. McGinniss' subject, and his rendering of it is dogged and devastating. For example, there is the desscription of the way in which the televised meetings between Nixon and a panel of supposedly average citizens was arranged.

Everything Machine-Tooled Each program was meticulously managed, down to the last detail. Nothing was left to chance; nothing spontaneous was tolerated. Everything, from the painstaking picking of the panelists and the studio audience, through the engineering of audience response and applause, down to the makeup of even the eyelids qf the candidate, was machine-tooled. ' Again, the manufacture of the' Nixon spot commericals, each costing $25,000 to produce, is recapitulated. Their purpose was to make the candidate seem con'temporary, imaginative, and involved, while avoiding .his say-' ing anyhting of substance.

When someone criticized the spots as trite, it was explained that they were supposed' to be trite. "Their message was intended for people who had triteness oozing out of every pore." You, Average Citizen.

As to the famous telethon, the author says that the questions telethoned in were not used, but substituted for them were questions prepared in advance by members of the candidate's staff.

And endorsements by celebrites were also written by' staffers.

astonishing reversal in popular response during the last weeks and days of the campaign indicated.

Mr. Humphrey almost won, and Mr. McGinniss contends that a Humphrey film for TV, al-, though woefully unprofessional and even sloppy, was the best piece of advertising in the campaign. The reason? Humphrey came across as a real person.

The animus of this book is easily detected and must be discounted. But when that has been done, there is still validity and merit in what Mr. McGinniss is doing: namely, putting the American electorate on notice that it is open to manipUlation and even deception by masters of gimmickry who have acess to the resources of television. ,

Continued from Page Thirteen and the audience responded with resounding applause.

Dr. Jordan Fior~, chairman of the Taunton School Board and chairman of the History department at Bridgewater State College, told the audience that education is the responsibility of the state. "Your parochial school system is as .much an agency of the state as the public school system."

"You are faced with .some very essential choices in regard to parochial school education," he said. "I have no. objection to private schools. I'm glad there's diversity, but I don't think that holding a gun at our heads is the proper approach."

Some of the· possibilities to be considered, Dr. Fiore said, might be sharing tea~hers for non-religious subjects, or hiring religious to teach in the public schools if the parish schools 'must clQse..

"I don't think the cost would be prohibitive for the state to . buy textbooks for parochial schools if it is legal," he said.

Rev. Edward Oliveira, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes church in Taunton, said that an organization that provides service to the public' should be reimbursed.

He said the cost per child a year in his own elementary school has been running around $105 a year, next year will run close to $140. "This is about one fifth what it <;osts the city to educate one child in the public school system," the pastor said. . "I say if the state of Massachusetts or the city of Taunton would reimburse us for half our costs we could operate for years and years to come," he asserted.

Which to Choose?

In the: question and answer period Sister Mary Urban was asked if the diocesan school office would recommend choosing between elementary and secondary schools if it came to that point of crisis.

"We are conducting a study of. that question right now," she answered. "We're interviewing pastors asking 'If you have to limit, what grade would you

choose to eliminate?' There are two schools of thought on that subject and I personally feel that it would be better to eliminate the elementary grades and concentrate on the secondary schools because of the tremendous problems' that adolescents face," Sister said.

Mr. Casey pleaded for dialogue between Catholic school and public school officials. "We must.be thinking of the future," he said.

"We have to know if they're thinking of sending 3,000 students at us. We will give what we can but only what the law allows. When the law allows we will give and willingly," he concluded. .

The one note of hope sounded throughout the evening came at the close when Representative Aleixo said "It is my understanding that if the situation is acute and schools are in danger of closing, emergency legislation will be forthcoming to tide the schools over."

Pastors and parents alike no doubt left the forum hoping that the collective legislati~e sense of hearing is acute enough to hear those cries of "Help."

Urge Clamp-Down . On R~ral Gambling SANTO DOMINGO (NC) Concern over gambling casinos being built in rural areas was voiced by three Dominican bishops.

The bishops' emphasis on the problem of gambling in rural regions followed a- survey by the Santo Domingo daily, EI Caribe, on a proposal to allow more casinos in this city to attract tourists. There are' now three casinos in operation here.

The bishops claimed that the real gambling problem is in the villages. Bishop Reilly said police should clamp down on the increase of makeshift gambling sites in the rural districts. Bishop Flores added that "gambling 'farmers mean unattended fields" and other problems. "rhe gambling vice never comes alone," he said.

Deluge Post Offic'e 'Department With Smut· Mail Complaints

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Nov. 13,1969

WASHINGTON (NC) - The. U.S. Post Office Department, perhaps, has bitten off more than it can masticate-much less digest.

The department currently is engaged with the Department of Justice in a campaign to stem the flow of printed smut through the mails. Postal authorities have disclosed they currently are occupied with a backlog of more than 250,000 complaints from all sections of the country against obscene materials received in the mails.

When word gets around that the Post Office Department has available for the asking a fourpage pamphlet on how to combat mailed smut, it is likely compiaints will deluge the depart· ment.

The pamphlet is titled "How You Can Curb Pandering Advertisements." It was designed to acquaint the public with the procedures for registering complaints against receipt of unwanted printed smut.

And it goes a step furtherthe pamphlet provides the reader with a detachable complaint form which may be sent to the department. It's simply a matter of filling in blank spaces concerning unwanted smut mail and sending it to the postmaster.

In addition to the Post Office Department statistics, a Gallup poll compiled recently disclosed an overwhelming public interest in combatting mailed smut. The

WASHINGTON (NC) - Sixty members of the House of Representatives immediately joined in supporting a resolution to endorse the constitutionality of astronauts praying in space.

The resolution, if approved, would give Congressional endorsement to the concept that expressions and exercises of reIigious' faith by astronauts during space exploration are compatible with the First Amendment guarantees of free speech and religion.

"It is my conviction that the courts should be cognizant of the will of the people who feel that· such religious expressions

poll disclosed that 85 out of every 100 adults favor stricter laws against the traffic in obscene literature through the mails.

David A. Nelson, general counsel of the Post Office Department, told the NC News Service: "If a large number of the population availed themselves, the postal system could be bogged down with enormous amounts of third' class mail. It would become impossible to afford protection provided by statutory law."

Ask Stricter Laws Nelson was alluding to the possible consequences, if a large number of persons avail themselves of the complaint form with the pamphlet.

Mail carriers already are com· plainjng about the heavy volume of third class mail-"junk mail" -much of which is being returned as unwanted.

The Justice Department has undert.aken a progr~m of prosecutions of smut peddling through the mails. Such prosecutions had been at a standstill in recent years because of decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court, which have upset standing criteria in dealing with obsecenity in the mails.

In concert with the. Post Office Department, the Justice Department is now petitioning Congress for stricter laws governing the sending of obscene materials in the mails.

Prelate Expresses Optimism For Catholic Education in 70s' CLEVELAND (NC)-A bishop said Catholic school problems of the 1960s are far from solved, but expressed the hope teachers would carry into the 19705 the four qunalities of "wisdom, zeal, humility and kindness."

A business official who deals in visual aid products observed that the generation gap has "little to do with age-it could as easily be called a sociological, political or ideological gap."

They spoke to more than 15,000 Catholic school administrators, teachers, and parents of students at the fourth biennial Ohio Catholic Education Association convention here in the Municipal Convention Center.

Grateful for Upgrading Bishop Emil Mihalik of the newly established Byzantine-rite diocese of Parma, in the homily at the convention Mass, spoke of the failures to solve the problems of the 1960s.

Name New Editor Of Campus Call HUNTINGTON (NC)-Edward Wakin, author of several articles and books on education and Catholicism, has been named editor of Campus Call, a monthly magazine published here for Catholics on campuses.

Wakin, who has served as a professor of communications at Fordham College and as a jour· nalist covering mapor education stories during the past decade, accepted the editorship as "a challenging opportunity" to produce a magazine aimed at "America's most exciting reading aUdience-young men and women on campus." . Campus Call, published monthly by Our Sunday Visitor, reaches collegians in practically all 50 states and in parts of Canada.

eration gap, gave a fresh viewpoint of young people of today.

Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati was the principal concelebrant of the convention Mass. Concelebrants included Bilshops Clarence G. Issenmann of Cleveland; John King Mussio of Steubenville; Clarence E. Elwell of Columbus and James W. Malone of Youngstown.

Bishop Mihalik said the problems of the 1960s,especially in the field of Catholic education, are far from solved.

"But on the brink of the 70s we are grateful for the upgrading our schools have undergone," he said as he expressed the hope the high caliber of teachers in Catholic schools will be maintained.

Elementary and secondary school teachers participated· in meetings dealing with many ·facets of education. There were special workshops for teachers of religion and for those interested in Newman Apostolate workshops and panels during the convention.

Teenagers' Goal Schoenecker in a discussion of the mass media and the genera· tion gap, quoted the findings of a survey taken to determine "What is a 16-year-old in 1969."

He said the poll reported most of 500 teenagers questioned as saying their real goal in life is to "be happy and help others."

"They worry most about the' future, least about 'myself,' want television to portray teens as individuals who aren't all bad; consider friendliness and personality more important leadership qualities than a 'good home and the necessities of life,'" he said.

More than 400 of the 500 surveyed, Schoenecker said, have a bank account and disagree with their parents about political and social issues. He said they also want their teachers to spend more time "treating students as individnals than making learning more exciting."

The hearing at New Jersey Boystown here was scheduled to give all interested parties, including lay people, an opportunity to be heard. It will be held in the evening so more laymen can attend.

The first hearing found more than 20 priests, nuns and lay people giving their ·views. More than 150 people attended the hearing and heard from innercity residents as well as priests and professionals.

The Most Unlikely Places Three hundred miles by helicopter, then 75 miles by motorboat..Lby a lone priest, on one sick call. Where was this amazing trip? The jungles of Africa? The remotest villages of India? No! This apostolic journey was taken by' one of the three missionary priests in Greenland!

Have you ever thought of Greenland as mission territory?

Probably not. But it is a fact that out of a population of 40,000 there are only 58 Catholics.

The mission to Greenland is unique. There is only one Catholic church and three missionaries for the entire country-840,OOO square miles. Located at Godthaab, this church serves a congregation of 25 Catholics-the other 33 members of the flOCK live u.p to 400 miles away.

The great distances a: ··Ie difficUlt travelling condi.tlons make it impossible for the priests to visit these people more than twice a year. Lms¢ year one of the missionaries made a 48 day boat trip through storms and pack ice,' to the southern tip of the country, in order to baptize one Catholic baby!'

The country is virtually 100 per cent Lutheran. Thanks to courageous Lutheran missionaries, Christianity was brought back to Greenland in 1721 after several centuries of religious clashes.

It was not until 1953, however, that full religious freedom was granted.

.....

How do the pries¢s look upon their mission in this ecumenical age? One of them writes: "We feel that something is missing when people are simply born into one religion-as when people are Catholics or Moslems or· Buddhists just because everybody else is. And so in this country, we want to help people make their religious conviction a' matter of personal choice. We want to make it 'possible for a native Greenlander to become a Catholic, if he so wishes," Like all missionaries, these three priests are faced with a tremendous task. And like all ,missionaries, they need your continued support if their efforts are to bear fruit.

The Society for the Propagation of the Faith is involved in a worldwide missionary effort. It helps maintain countless missionaries throughout the world. But we cannot help unless you do!

Just $1.00 will provide enough food, clothing and shelter to support a missionary for one day. Can you sacrifice that much or more to help a missionary serve mankind? Send your gift today!

P'·Town Seeks to Clinch M'ayflower At the tip-end of Cape Cod, Provincetown-displaying one of its finest combinations in many years-can wrap up the Mayflower League pennant when it plays at home against last-place Blue Hills Trade this coming Saturday.

Rolling with ease to a 38-14 victory over fifth place Millis of the Tri-Valley Conference last weekend, Coach Steve' Gouvia's P-towners will be out for their sixth triumph of the year. Unbeaten in Mayflower competition, Sophomore quarterback Mark Silva has spearheaded the Provincetown offensive attack, having tossed five touchdown passes, all of which have been gathered in by junior halfback Frank Reis.

With an over-all 5-1-1 record, Provincetown is 3-0 in the Mayflower competition. The excel-

lent running attack, which gives the Gouvia-drilled lads one of their best balanced aggregations in a long time, features 196pound fullback Brock Papetsas and senior halfback Tom Jackett behind a smooth, fast charging line. Provincetown is assured of at least a first p'lace tie if it fails to accomplish what it has in mind for next Saturday.

Nantucket, with a 5-2 over-all mark, firmed its hold on the runnerup spot in the Mayflower circuit last Saturday, when it annexed its third league victory, nudging Martha's Vineyard, 6-0.

Fourth-phice Southeastern Regional Trade of Easton (1-4 overall and 1-2 in the Mayflower) will meet Blue Hills Trade, at home a week from this coming Saturday, in the season's last official league fray.

Falmouth Juggernaut at Fairhaven Lawrence of Falmouth looms to further improve its hold on first place in the Capeway Conference when it travels to Fairhaven on Saturday in quest of its eighth straight triumph this year.

Tied with league leading Hanover of the South' Shore circuit as the second most' promiscuous scoring outfit in Eastern Massachusetts, the powerfUl Falmouth aggregation' hopes to solidify its front running position in quest of its fifth successive conference win. The Cape combine bested Dartmouth, 30-19, last Saturday to keep its all-winning record intact.

Fairhaven, an easy 21-6 winner over Case of the Narry loop last Saturday, has been eagerly awaiting its meeting with the explosive Cape club,' the sole current possessor of a perfect conference record.

Dartmouth hopes to get back into the conference win column this coming Saturday when it journeys to the Canal to meet fourth-place Bourne, (an 18-8 victor over Dennis-Yarmouth last weekend. .

The latter goes outside the conference competition on next Saturday when it moves into Bristol County to· clash with Seekonk of the Narry League.

Westwood of the Dual County League squeezed out a 22-20 win over Seekonk last Saturday.

A 20-6 loser to pace-setting Don Boscoe of the Catholic Central League last Saturday, Barnstable will seek to reverse its fortunes this weekend when it entertains fifth place Christopher Columbus of Catholic Central.

Mansfield High, experiencing one of its worst seasons in years, will have its hands full again this weekend ·when it vies with

Listed as one of only three halfbacks on the Worcester Poly 45-man roster, Charlie has seen considerable action for the Massucco-men who completed their season last Saturday. Going into the finale, the Engineers owned 3-4 mark.

Standing only 5-9 and weighing 165 pounds, the North Attleboro native is hardly considered a power runner. His weapons are speed and deception.

Oliver Ames of North Easton, held to a 6-6 deadlock by Canton 'in a Hockomock thriller last weekend, plays Foxboro at home this Saturday.

Somerset High, which had no trouble crushing Wareham of the Capeway Conference, 32-6, last Saturday draws top billing this coming Saturday when! it tangles with 'Dighton-Rehoboth with whom it shares first place in the Narry.

Sporting one of its finest clubs in years, the D-R Regionals disposed of Norton of the Tri-Valley circuit, 26-8, last weekend.

It is expected that DightonRehoboth's Somerset invasion will attract the largest -crowd of the Narry season.

Third-place Medway promises more trouble for Norton in a TriValley affair next Saturday. The tilt is scheduled in Norton.

Crushed 21-6 by Fairhaven of the Capeway last weekend, the Case Cardinals expect a little smoother going .this coming Saturday when they entertain Tiverton of Rhode Island in Swansea.

The Whaling City Trade School will be at home for its'" upcoming Saturday engagement with Durfee of Fall River which was idled last w.eekend.

CHARlES DESCHENES 1966 . Bristol County League championship season.' As a punter he averaged over 43-yards per kick.

According to Worcester Poly Sports Information Director, George Gamache: "Charlie has developed rapidly this Fall and broke into the starting rotation after a brilliant individual performance against Bates. (The Engineers won the game, 17-6).

"He gained 151 yards in 22 carries and was named to the All-East Division IX team of the

week."

In addition to his running assignments, Deschenes handles all the Worcester kicking assignments. After his first 32 punts, he averaged a strong 35 yards.

"We're looking forward to two more helpful years from Charlie," continued Gamache, "and I'm sure he will prove to be a top performer, on Alumni Field."

Deschenes is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Agenard J. Deschenes of North Attleboro and is a communicant of Sacred Heart Parish.

He is one of six Deschenes children and the second youngest boy.

His older sisters Mrs. Edward (Annette) Dion and Mrs. Paul (Helene) Dion are housewives, while ,his brother Rev. Roland Deschenes, is the assistant pastor at St. Joseph's Church in New Bedford. Gerry, 23, is employed as a plumber and attends Providence College night classes.

Younger brother Paul, 15, is a member of the Bishop Feehan football team.
