CINCINNATI (NC)-A total of $3.4 million has been awarded to 117 community organizations of poor people in 37 states, the District of Coiumbia~ and three U. S. possessions by the Campaign for Human Development in fts first funding for 1973. . CHD, the domestic antipoverty program of the U. S. Catholic Church, in the last three years has allocated almost $20 million to over 500 self-help .projects administered by and for the poor. The campaign receives special support from U. S. Catholics each year at Thanksgiving time in a spsdal nationwide collection.

Pope Expresses Great Anguish For "Priests

The collection date for this year is Nov. 18. In announcing the grants, Father Lawrence McNamara, CHD's executive director, said: "What the campaign for Human Development has come to mean for at least some of America's poor is the possibility for a new way of life-a more self-directed kind of life. Every Project funded by the campaign lopens doors for change in how the poor will live their lives today and works toward the day when they will turn their past experience of poverty into a sensitive, new social force within America." The largest allocation was awarded to the Program for Rural Economic Development in North Colorado. The grant is for $99,000 to provide jobs and

eventual business ownership for low-income persons through the development of several local industries. The largest funded category this year is for economic development. One-third of the CHD's allocated funds will go to 37 business cooperatives and credit unions. Other categories to be funded include craft co-ops for the poor in rural areas, housing projects, medical services for the elderly, legal aid and welfare advocacy for the poor, and aid to education. The CHD will also give $52,000 to two Indian programs in Michigan to assist the tribes in their legal battIe to insure hunting, fishing and land rights provided for in existing treaties.

Catholic Schools AI ive, Thrivin~I, Official Says' ALBANY (NC) - The interest of Catholic parents in Catholic schools and independent evaluations of Catholic school performance both indicate that Catholic schools are alive and thriving, said the superintendent of schools for the Albany diocese. The superintendent, A. Matty Semenza, was responding in an interview to an article in the Oct. 21 New York Times magazine entitled "Catholic Schools Are Committing Suicide." The article by Father Andrew Greeley, a sociologist at the National Research Center in Chicago, maintained that the bishops are deliberately closing Catholic schools without consulting Catholic parents. Father Greeley's contention that neither lack of parental interest nor financial problems is responsible for school closings is true as far as the Albany diocese is concerned, Semenza said. But he disagreed with Father Greeley's claim that "ecclesiastical administrators" no longer want . the schools. Bishop Edwin B.

"There is little doubt," the letter says,' "that we are passing through a period marked by a lack of interest in the saints. Much more is involved here than devotion to the saints, even St. Mary. What. is at stake is the reality of the humanity of the risen Jesus. There is danger of so spiritualizing the risen Christ that we diminish awareness of His humanity." The bishops urge increased devotion to Mary both in- the Mass -through special readings and votive Masses-and in the rosary. "It is unwise," they say, "to reject the rosary without a trial simply because of the accusation that it comes from that past, that it is repetitious and ill-suited to sophisticated moderns." The bishops point out that the prayers and mysteries of the rosary are based in the Bible and they suggest that Catholics "can freely experiment" with new forms of the rosary, including Turn to Page TWQ

Bishops' Pastoral on' Mary Continued from Page One new sets of mysteries such as ones dealing with the public life of Christ. In a section on ecumenism the bishops acknowledge that Catholic devotion to Mary "has been a sharp point of difference with other 'Christians of the West" and they ask "our brothers in other Christian churches to reexamine with us Mary's place in our common patrimony." The letter says that recent "initiatives taken on both sides (on the Catholi,c side especially through the Second Vatican Council) have brought Christians to consider the difficulties of doctrine about and devotion to Mary openly and with charity,"

ClClrdinal Krol's Statement on War On behalf of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops I express deep sorrow and <listress over the full scale war which has erupted in the Middle East. I plead and pray for an Instant halt, not only to the open war, but also the guerrilla-type of clashes which erupted into wars. The deep-seated enmitites betwee::t the nations of this region bave painfully distressed the world for the 'past· quarter of a century. We recognize the genuine grievances' on the side of both the Arab nations and Israel. We res?ect the legitimate desire of Israel for secure boundaries, just as we respect the legitimate desire of the Arab nations to recover the land lost in the war six years ago. But the 25·year history of these grievances proves beyond doubt that the

grievances will not and cannot be resolved by terrorism, by reprisal, or by open war. • Recourse to violence prolongs ~uffering, deepens bitterness and serv./ces as a continued threat to peace. progress and stability· in the Middle East and in the entire world. I urge the United States government and other governments, working through the United Nations, to exer~ the utmost influence to bring about: an immediate cease-fire. When the fighting has stopped, all concerned parties should ·involve themselves immediately in a renewed, determined quest for a just and lasting peace. The Middle East-and the world - cannot afford the car-. nage,destruction and waste of another war.

Doubt$ rown On Agreement Between Unions WASHINGTON (NC)-The onagain, off-again farm labor pact between the Teamsters and the AFL-CIO, which finally seemed solidified at the end of Septemher, may have run into another snag here. , Teamster leader Frank Fitzsimmons, attending an annual convention of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services, reportedly told newsmen the Teamsters would fulfill their "moral and legal" obligations to California grape growers-leading the newsmen to infer that the Teamsters would honor their contracts with growers, even at the expense of the secret agreement they made with the AFLCIO to get out of the vineyards: Contradictory Reports New York Times reporter Philip Shabecoff said Fitzsimmons' words were "characteristically ambiguous," while Associated Press quoted the Teamster head as saying, "We're going to have to live out the contracts." Fitzsimmons could not be reached for further comment. (In Keene, Calif., United Farm Workers of America (UFWA) head . Cesar Chavez reacted strongly to the reports. "We should have known not to negotiate with the Teamsters," he said. "They have deceived us every time. ") A spokesman at AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington said he had received contradictory reports of what Fitzsimmons told reporters. "We're keeping our fingers crossed," he said. The agreement between Fitzsimmons and AFL-CIO president George Meany was intended to end the latest six-month battIe over grape fieldworkers between the Teamsters and Chavez' UFWA, an AFL..CIO affiliate. Repudiatedl Contracts Although the Meany-Fitzsimmons pact has not been made public, it is believed. to stipulate that the Teamsters will leave lettuce field-worker organization to the UFWA afte~ its present contracts with growers run out. In the wine and table grape vineyards, the Teamsters reportedly agreed to abandon their contracts with growers ahd leave the fields open to the UFWA. Some time before the agreement was reached, Fitzsimmons repudiated 30 such contracts in the Delano, Calif., area. The Teamsters, ' in return, would have retained full control over non-field workers, such as cannery and warehouse employees and truckers; and the nationwide UFWA boycott agadnst lettuce would have been called off. But the grape growers have threatened to take every possi· ble legal action to stop the Teamsters from abandoning the con· tracts. According to Lee C. Shaw, an attorney for the growers, if Fitzsimmons does not honor the contracts the growers will "sue him to d~ath."

Plan' Workshop.s On Reading WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) announced that it will sponsor "Right to Read" workshops for Catholic school principals in five major cities this fall. Funded with the help of a U.S. Office of Education grant, the workshops will discuss the reading needs of educationally disadvantaged children from minority groups, various programs available to meet those needs, and methods of managing the programs in schools. Dr. Charles Brady, director of the project, said the workshops would be held in Detroit Oct. 5-6, San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 15-16, New York Oct. 30, Miami Nov. 12-13, and St. Louis Nov. 15-16.

revised ritual book for administering the sacrament of Penance will be published by the end of the year or at the beginning of the next Lenten season, a Vatican official told NC News. The official was reacting to speculation by an Italian news service that a Vatican document on confession is imminent. "Imminent is too strong a word," the official said. "Every. one from the Holy Father down is anxious to publish the new order (ritual book) as soon as possible. "I can tell you that the document outlining the new order for confession is not yet printed. After it is printed, we must wait a month before making it public so that bishops of the world may study the final vel" sion."

'f'riends of Hippocrates' Start Ont_ario Anti-Abortion Campaign TORONTO (NC)-The Friends of-Hippotrates, a newly (ormed group of doctors and nurses in Ontario province, has launched a campaign . to increase public awareness of the abortion issue and to make the medical profession more conscious of its own involvement and responsibilities. (A section of the Oath of: Hippocrates on the conduct of physicians says: "I will not aid a woman to procure abortion.") At a recent press conference here Dr. R. J. Bannister, a general practitioner, charged that many of his colleagues are "apathetic about abortions ... "The medical profession is being carried along by the Jaw and local minority groups.

'Nurse Marilyn Bezner of Waterloo suggested that organizations such as Birthright International, which offer counseling, friendship and practical positive help, are reasonable alternatives to abortion. The group's statement, signed by eight doctors and three nurses, said that, contrary to public opinion, thousands of women are not dying each year "at the hands of quack abortion, ists."

"They are trimming their theology to fit what the public seems to feel. They' are creating a theology by majority."

Dr. Addison said that Statistics Canada reported that in 1971 only one woman died as a result of a criminal abortion and that two women died from legally induced abortions in hospitals in the same year.

Dr. Anthony Addison of St. Michael's Hospital said: "We do not wish to minimize the social problems caused by unwanted children, nor do we wish to minimize the desperation that can possess a woman who is "nable

,A Better Start In the last three years, the Campaign for Human Development has allocated nationally the amount of twenty million dollars to over five hundred projects throughout the United States in the attempt to help the poor without respect to race ,or color or creed. The projects have been imaginative and many-a South 'Carolina Sea Islands Farm cooperative, a Bilingual Broadcasting Foundation in Santa Rosa, Future Ranches of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux in South Dakota, a Philadelphia ghetto community, a dental care program in Vermont. The whole thrust of the Campaign is to help people help themselves. The United States has learned long ago that one has the obligation to assist unfortunate neighbors but it has also learned that people are not happy with hand-outs and oftentimes look with bitterness upon the one doing the giving.' 'It is better to give people the means to help themselves, to set up their own projects.and by dint of their own ingenu-, ity and work provide a livelihood for themselves and their dependents. Thus the one in need has received the initial momentum from the charity of his more affluent neighbor but the rest is the result of his own effort.

An accident of birth has caused many people to be born into families and areas where there is a minimum of poverty and want. These have received a start that is to their advantage. An accident of birth has caused others to be born' into areas and to families where the circle of poverty has enslaved generations. The new beginning, the better start, must be and can be provided by those who contribute to the Campaign for Human Development, so that others may begin from a more advantageous place than misery and want. /

Cease-Fire The cease-fire between Israel an~ Egypt-fragile though it is-still is a tribute to the efforts of many persons.. All the subtle and, not-so-subtle pressures exerted by the United States and the Soviet Union, the unceasing work of Secretary of State Kissinger, the desire for peace on the part of both parties in the war-all these give evidence that good will is undoubtedly the key to peace and that there is some good will around. The world would be well-advised not to sit back and to accept the present condition as a lasting one, but at least a tenuous peace is better than war, and when parties agree that they should sit down and talk about agreeing, then this is a step in the right direction. The whole situation underlines ,once again the importance of the individual. Enough individuals in the right places and at the right times made the right decisions. The oratory and propaganda and implacable positions yielded to the call of reaso~ and good will. And so the dependence upon individuals for world peace again is seen. The individuals are apparently well-aware ofhow much rests on their shoulders, how much grief and heartache, how much misery and sadness, how much destruction and ruin; and, on the other hand, how much the foundation of world peace is in their keeping. 'This realization ·has brought them !O this stage.)t is to be hoped that, the building of world peace will continue.

Clothing Collection NEW YORK (NC)-The executive director of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), citing "an Onprecedented number of emergencies," has called upon Americans to be 'especially generous this year with donations of bedding and clothing. Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom made the appeal in connection with the 25th annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collection of CRS, overseas aid agency of U., S. Catholics. "Thus far this year," said Bishop Swanstrom, "CRS has had to deal with an unprecedented number of emergencies. Severe disasters in Nicaragua, West Africa, Pakistan and Mexico and urgent requests for aid in Vietnam and Cambodia have all but depleted our available stocks of clothing and blankets. "Catholic Relief Services must always be in a position to try to cope with any eventuality. We hope the American people, particularly the Catholic community, will respond generously to this plea for' support."

Puerto Rico Bishops Ask Peace in Chile SAN JUAN (NC)-The Puerto Rican Conference of Bishops hopes Chile can return to the "institutional normality," which the Chilean bishops are seeking in the wake of the military coup there. The Puerto Rican bishops quoted the Chilean bishops as saying: "The prudence and patriotism of the Chileans, along with the democratic tradition and humanism of the armed forces, will allow Chile to return to the institutional normality, as the new members of the government junta have promised." The Puerto Rican bishops said they have "fraternal solidarity with these noble sentiments of the Chilean episcopate." They asked Puerto Ricans to "pray to God for the welfare of all Chileans."

Protesta nts Increase Church Contribut'ions NEW YORK (NC)-AIthough Protestant church membership has been declining, the National Council of Churches reported a 5.2 per cent increase in contribubutions to Protestant churches last year. The NCC's figures, released Oct. 5, showed a total of $4,615,607,162 contributed to 39 Protestant church bodies, 32 of which comprise the national council. The increase in contributions indicates a rise in per capita giving. In 1971, $93.35 was donated per person. This 'rose to $99.16 in 1972. The Southern Baptist Conven-tion, the nation's largest Protestant body with 12,065,33 members became the first Protestant denomination to top $1 billion, when it received $1,071,138,856 in 1972.

Missions Should Use Mass Communication CINCINNATI (NC) The Church must use mass media to promote its mission efforts effectively, a Jesuit theologian told the Cincinnati archdiocesan seminar on missions held at Mercy Center here. Father John A. Hardon, professor at Bellarmine School of Theology in Chicago and a former professor of comparative religion on several secular campuses, told teachers and parish representatives at the -seminar Sept. 29 that the Second Vatican Council stressed the Church's, need to make greater use of the media. "These media, the Church is telling us," Father Hardon explained, "are so powerful, so influential, so profoundly and diffusively effective, so prognostic of the future of the human race, that evangelization from now on must avail. itself of these media if it is to cooperate with the designs of Providence as God wants His faithful to do." Persons and organizations opposed to Christianity, he noted, have become masters of indoctrination through the media.

CHICAGO (NC) - Citing ad· vantages for worship and ecuf!lenism, a liturgical expert has urged interfaith sharing of church buildings. In the November issue of U. S. Catholic, a national Catholic monthly published here, Father Robert Hovda of the Washington, D. C.-based Liturgical Conference said the sharing of church buildings would be advantageous because it: '::-"Minimizes the churches' part in American capitalist society's overconsumption and waste. -"Encourages the formation of churches of an advantageous size" for community and communal celebration. -"Is hospitable to the kind of environment for worship which we are beginning to reali;:e we need. -"Can help to make all Christians aware of the tragic fact of division, and to see the importance of the ecumenical -"Will encourage more frequent - ecumenical celebrations and common prayer. -"Will encourage an ecumenical approach to the service of the whole community and of the human family."

Chilean Prelate Asserts Church 'Not Political' NEW YORK (NC) - "The Church is not political and it will not intervene in political affairs," said Cardinal Raul Silva of Santiago, Chile, in 'an interview with ABC-TV. But if the new Chilean military junta fulfills the programs it has promised, "the Chilean Church will fully support th,em within its sphere of action," the cardinal said. The interview with Cardinal Silva by ABC News' Sid Darion, taped earlier in Santiago, was scheduled for broadcast on the ABC network program "Directions~ " In the interview the Chilean prelate drew a line between political involvement by the Church and the Church's self-interest and interest in the welfare of the people. • He said he believes the Church has helped many of those' who were imprisoned immediately after the right-wing, military junta ousted the government of Marxist President Salvador Allende in Septemb~r. "We cannot assist those who have committed ordinary crimes; except to insure that 'their situation will be judged by Chilean courts according to Chilean , laws," said Cardinal Silva. "But, we wish to participate in favor of those beirtg held for suspicion, or because they are under doubt, arid who, although they have not committed ordi!lary crimes, are in a difficult position," he said. Referring to his talks with the new regime on . this subject, he said: "We have been listened to, and - to this point - our voice has been heeded." Mutual Understanding j

Asked by Darion-whether he believes the junta wants to work with the Church and whether he feels the Church can cooperate with the junta, Cardinal Silva replied:\\ "I have personally said to the junta that the cooperation that we can give, and the understanding we have received from a Marxist government (that of former President Salvador Allende) is at ,least the same they can demand from us, because in addition, I said, you can demand more from us because you call yourselves-and you are Christians.' And, therefore, I believe we can understand each other in many fields. But, the Church is not political and it will not intervene in political affairs."

Maine Farlm' Becomes Monastery. For FOI4:r Carmelite Sisters ORLAND (NC) - The farm seems the perfect setting for the' life of silence and solitude four Carmelite nuns came here to find. The hermitage itself is at the end of a winding dirt road. Behind it lie the 100 or more acres where hay grows and sheep graze. Besides the hermitage, itselff unfinished, there are several other small buildings scattered across the property: a combination chaplains' quarters-garage, a shed to house heavy equipment. a larger shed to house sheep in inclement weather, a dilapidated farm house, and a small, one room "retreat house" built' by Sister Lucy Poulin, which is sim· ply a place for solitude. The life is not easy' and the Sisters are genuinely poor. 'Their work ranges from carpentry to gardening, from masonry to canning. Rising at 6 A.M., the Sisters spend most of the day in manual labor. This kind of work, they find not only is well-suited to their main purpose-prayer-:;-but also provides a modest income. Gathering at the end of the day for the evening meal, their .faces rosy from the sun and wind. .. the Sisters talkecj of their farm, of their vocation, 'and of- prayer. Four Individuals Far from the stereotyped concept of. contemplative nuns, the four Sisters are not only delightful, but completely individual. They wear rough outdoor clothing and heavy boots. Sister Lucy wears a beret. Sister Margaret Dorgan is tall and pretty and her animated young face contrasted startlingly with her gray hair. Sister Patricia Veale is short, articulate, and vivacious. Sister Catherine Hoeing is the' quietest of the four; and Sister Lucy, whose Indian ancestry shows in her arresting face, conveys a kind of placid intensity. . , The Sisters came to Maine in 1968. Sister Margaret, Sister Patricia, and a third Sister, who has' since left the group, were joined there by Sister Lucy and Sister Catherine: The motivation of Sisters Margaret and Patricia to leave the Carmelite monastery in Concord was, according to Sister Margaret, to find it "simple way of life with a lot of emphasis on solitude and silence." Their purpose, then as now, was prayer. They decided to seek permission to move to a diocese without a Carmelite monastery so that their unique life style would not invite comparison. Sister Margaret pointed out that "Carmel can be lived in many ways," and they sought a way appro.priate to 'women of the 20th century. . They sought remoteness and poverty and they wanted to share the lot of others who are genuinely poor. Simple Life The Sisters began by sewing, shoes in a rented house in Orland. When the shoe business declined because of. foreign competition, the Sisters thought of a farm. They wanted to work with a fair amount of routine- as a ~asis of their prayer life and ,they "wanted to be real with the soil" in Sister Margaret's words. So they bought the farm and set to work.

NC Photo. Although Sister Lucy and Sister Catherine were raised on farms, they knew little about raising sheep in Maine and the Sisters learned principally through trial and error. Their bookshelves tell the tale: titles such as "I Want to See God" and "How to Raise Sheep."

All of their work is rewarded in the simple life they have as a basis for contemplation. "It's the prayer values we're after," said Sister Margaret. Although their 'life has some structure, there is little of the complexity and regularity'of life in a larger monastery. ,

Stresses Value Of Military Duty VATICAN CITY (NC) - Military duty matures young men, grounding them in virtues that help them all their. lives, Pope Paul VI told 2,600 Italian soldiers based in Rome who were lined up before him in a Vatican courtyard. Addressing the soldiers, most of whom are serving their compulsory military tour, the Pope said: "This experience, so very important for you because it is a difficult and severe apprenticeship, not only trains you to fulfill seriously your 'obligation to your country but also helps you to form in yourselves the character of mature men. "The sense of duty,;cdiscipline, courage and the spirit of sacrifice that are interwoven into your lives today are the virtues that form the foundation of your tomorrow. "These very same virtues will be asked of you when, having taken off your uniforms, you must assume your respOnsibilities and bring your very best to the families you will found, to the professions yoti will practice and in the service of society to which you will be called." The Pope told the 'soldiers that he was close to them in affection, understandi!1g and prayer during their tour of duty and urged them to remain close to their Christian faith. A strong faith, the Pope concluded, would never allow them "to be swept away by vulgarity or the tyranny of the senses."

Cardinal Defends Bishops' Right To Speak Out LOURDES (NC) - Cardinal Francois Marty of Paris, president of the French Bishops' Conference, has defended the right of the bishops to speak out on public issues. In an address at the opening of the annual plenary assembly of the bishops' conference here, , Cardinal Marty said: "Responsible for a people, the bishop cannot in conscience not speak when he perceives the Gospel clashing with events." The cardinal rejected the accu" sation of incompetence often made against churchmen when they spea~ out on secular issues, and he said that each time the bishops speak they "s.ignify what authority the document proposed to the public has." The cardinal a.lso discussed relations between bishops and theologians without referring directly to his recent rebuke of the French Jesuit monthly Etudes (Studies) for articles that he had said were likely to cause confusion concerning the Church's positionon abortion. "It is important," he' said, "that every theological discourse be in coherence, in consonance, in communion with the deposit of the faith as it is defined through the great events of the history of the Church. Authentic: Doctrine "We, the bishops, must there· fore in season and out of season re-question the theologian to ask him to signify this coherence, to show each time that he sets both a new' theological view how that view is linked with the authentic doctrine of the Church given by tradition. "It is not a matter of suspecting or of controlling all research," the cardinal continued. "TheQlogical work is always a risk. That risk must be accepted; it is inevitable. It can even lead to error, but that error then must be recognized. "As far as I am concerned, I remain ready to sustain those who accept committing themselves' to this difficult and necessary road."

Says Irish Church Losing the Young DUBLIN (NC) - The Catholic Church is unlikely to continue to be the religion of the majority of the Irish population in the next generation 'because the young are losing contact with the Church, a Jesuit priest said here. Speaking in a public lecture series, Jesuit Father Michael P. Gallagher said that the most common form of atheism in Ireland is manifested in alienation from the externals of Church life. He said that recent informal surveys he had conducted among students at University College Dublin, a division of the national university, indicated that, although 50 per cent were still regular churchgoers and convinced Christians, at least one in three had moved toward serious aliena· tion from both Church practice and personal"faith. "It would be dangerously complacent to dismiss this as shortterm or confined to university students," Father Gallagher said. ','Indeed, the facts are much less alarming than the seeming blind· ness to the facts, especially by Religious teachers and priests."

"Now that the organizational phase of (Catholic lay involvement) is completed," Bishop Durick said, "members of thepa.storal and various lay councils are going to be called upon for very courageous leadership." The bishop spoke during the third annual' convention of the laity of the Nashville diocese here. Convention delegates elected four men and two women to serve on the pastoral council, a group of priests, Religious and laity that will advise' the bishop on variQl.\s Church matters.

·'ServantsI Nlissioners in Africa Becomlng ROME (NC)-The concept of the fcreign missionary in Africa as "master" is changing to tha.t. of "'servant," the superior gen· eral 0:: the Missionaries of Africa said here. That change is necessary for coUaboration on an equal 'part.nership basis. between local Church leaders in Africa and foreign missionaries, said the su, perior, Father Theo van Asten, in an interview. "The mission of the future," he said, "will no longer be the one..way traffic of .the past, in the sense of missionaries coming from the outside to direct things, but of collaboration and interchange. "And collaboration means that we :respect the responsibility that we hand on to local Church leaders. This implies that we are moving from a position of being 'ma:;teJ:'s' in the past to a position of service and submission. What it means in effect is that European missionaries in many areas Df Africa are serving under African leaders." Father van Asten said that the key problem facing the Missionaries of Africa is "to help the African Church to become more and more itself, and not a foreign Church in Africa." "By this I mean," he continued, "t.hat the Gospel message must be adapted to the African culture and mentality and be less dependent on foreign personnel

reliant in her internal life and external mission. It will have to be self-ministering, . self-propagating and self-supporting, even though a measure of self-reliance on outside help may still continue." Asked whether this means there will be no need for foreign missionaries in Africa in about . 50 years, Father van Asten said: "There will; always be a need for professional' missionaries to keep' the missionary spirit of the Church aiive, but the traditional idea of the missionary as a preacher of the Gospel in coun·· tries where it is unknown will no longer be valid. I think that within 50 years from now the· . Gospel Message will have been announced everywhere in the world." He said that the changing role of foreign missionary and the Africanization of the Church are not opposing concepts but a necessary phase in the evolution of the Church in Africa.

"It is impossible to see what

right the richer nations have to keep up their claim to increase their own material demands, if the consequence is either that others remain in misery or. that the danger, of destroying the. very .physical foundations of life on earth is precipiated. Those who are already rich are bound to accept a less materiiil way of life, with less waste, in order to avoid the destruction of the heritage which they are obliged by absolute justice to share with all other members of the human race." Two Journeys If. raw materials are moving toward scarcity and even dis-. appearance because of the economic demand of the twenty per cent of the world's peoples who are already fully developed, if their technology is highly pollutive and threatens to poison the airs and waters all .men share, the judgment is inescapable. The riel; must use less, develop the recycling of materials, stop pollution and bring their economies into a "steady state" in material terms. This does not mean that living standards have to fall or that unemployment will increase. It does mean that wealthy societies will have to' devise less consumptive forms of life style and work. Take, for instance two journeys. The first is a package tour to the Costa Brava. On the aircraft everyone eats and drinks most of the way. In the two weeks by the seaside, the high consumption goes on in crowded hotels coupled with touring in charabancs and private cars, buying souvenirs, visiting dress shops, investing in aqualungs and beach wear. At every stage, goods are consumed and employment created. But much of the goods are junk. The hotels may well have inadequate sewage systems and help create polluted beaches. The fumes of gasoline drift through the town. Everyone tends to eat and drink more than they need. High Standards But suppose the same number of people were going, say, to see the Passion Play at Oberammagau. The journeys would not be much different. But the grandeur and simplicity of the occasion, the unpretentious guest house, the relative lack of cheap gift shops, the immense concen-

created is largelyce.ntered on the performance of a great work of art. This example points the way. High standards need not be maintained simply by ever-rising consumption. An alternative is to educate, persuade and enable the citizen to see, hear and take part in the highest forms of creative activity. This is not an impossible task. No one could have foreseen in Britain in 1939 the growth of theatres, festivals, art centers" touring companies in opera and ballet all over the country by 1970. The decision that the arts should be subsidized, taken 'during World War U, led to an explosion of. new, non-polluting "goods" and work in every corner of the British Isles. Higher Standards So if we speak of creating less greedy economies in the developed world, we could, if the shift is carefully made, be confronting not lower but higher standards of culture, better imd more rewarding forms of "consumption" -music" theatre, active sport, art in all its forms and, for the believer, the highest of all activities, the profound satisfaction of .great religious festivals, the quiet joys of religious retreats. We are so bemused today~by habit and . advertising-with the idea that we must keep up, in cars and color TV and swimming pools, with the Joneses who are keeping up with us, that we lose all sense of truly human standards or a truly human civilization. We consume and' consume and pollute and pollute, "laying waste our days." And all the time we are not only running through the planet's diminishing resources. We are not even having a good time. "They are as sick who surfeit with too much As they who starve with nothing...." Shakespeare had the word for our Western society-sick with surfeit and starved for true enjoyment, the pursuit of happiness turning to dead sea fruit. Many young people in Western society feel this surfeit. But the alternative styles of living are not invented. It is here that the challenge to create new ways of life confronts Christians first of all and with them all the great religious cultures of Planet Earth.

"It is of particular significance," he added, that the statement places the issue in the context of the United Nations involvement in the crisis. Positions adopted by the UN offer perhaps the most hopeful approach to both the short-range and the long-range problems of the Middle East. "It should be noted, too, that urgent as. the prisoner of war i!lsue is, there have been many tragic violations of human rights over the years in this area of the world.

'Breaking Out/ls the Story Of Corporation Executives

Thurs., Nov. 15, 1973

Not a Dull Boy Continued from Page Sixteen of the family, but traditions are toppling today. Mothers are joining the money-earning ranks, dads are helping with the housework and children, and the kids are earning money for their own clothes and part of their education. I like this sharing of family work loads. I am proud that my older children have taken jobsand plenty of grueling ones-to help pay their way. I am proud of my husband who, besides supporting us, has apparently never worried whether it was masculine to help with the dishes or scrubbing. In my softer moments, I am not displeased with the role I have played in our family's work load. We happen to believe that a family is better off if the mother c.an be home while the children are growing up. I have managed this, and my rewards have been rich - even though housework is not my bag.

That there is burning dissatisfaction in the executive suite is the thesis of Breaking Out by Don Biggs (McKay, 750 3rd Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. $6.95). Mr. Biggs himself turned away from the corporate life when he was earning $25,000 a year. His own experience induced him to his life, but in a different way. a good many years in Canspend the greater part-of a After ada, he has gone back to the land year finding and interview- of his birth and the town of his ing some 150 persons who have done likewise.

His book mingles Irish history with' personal experience. The history is not presented in a continuity, but emerges segment by segment as one or another place suggests a decisive era or event. Some of it he knew at first hand, and some he had from participants.

factors in these numerous cases: feeling, for example that the demands of the corporation were obliterating people's personal freedom, making them do things distasteful or fraudulent, ruining their family life, rewarding them with money and material 'goods which, when critically considered, were less gratifying than simpler pleasures which their. work denied them.

Seen close-up in separate chapleI'S are five men, each successful and affluent at a fairly early age and with assurances of further advancement and enrichment. Yet all five quit, to do something more expressive of themselves as human heings. Great Risk The least impressive of the five is an Episcopal clergyman, who seems· to have been less mature and responsible than the four laymen, really callow still alongside them. He is frank about his sexual promiscuity, which argues a personal disorder for which his organization - Le., the Episcopal Church-can hardly be blamed. The others found, as they did hetter and better in their respective careers, that they were being turned into kinds of people that they did not want to be. Breaking free seemed a great risk, especially in view of their obligations to others: wife, for example, and children. Almost all of them had some help in making a change. Once the change was effected, they were at least as well off economically as before, and incomparably happier. In only one instance did religion seem to have much to do with the meaning of life and the mode living, and the one instance is not that of the clergyman. No one said, outright at least, that the objective and the ideals of living which his religion held out to him were at variance with the get-ahead, get-power, get-money, principle exemplified in the career from which he turned away. Ireland Pat Nevin, author' of Ireland: Where Time Stands Still (Our Sunday Visitor Press, Noll Plaza, Huntington, Ind. 46750. $3.95), is another man who has changed

It is his own impressions which are the most distinctive feature of this book. He is sharp of eye and ear and can make his school days, for example, as vivid as if one had shared ·them. He can paint a scene, convey a "character," catch the quality of country speech.

The 6est single pass'age in the boC?k is his depiction, of Mrs. O'Hara's country kitchen. The kitchen's physical proportions, contents, and atmosphere he conveys well. But he does something more difficult: he gets hold of the life that once pulsed in that now lonely, quiet room, and the spiritual excellence of the. woman who remains there with her memories. Live with Christ When one first takes up Father Michel Quoist's I've Met ,Jesus Christ (Doubleday, 277 Park Ave., New York, N. Y. 10017. $4.95), one is assailed by the fear that this may be another of those God-is-other-people books. But it is not so. Instead, what we have here is "a few practical exercises in living -with Christ. Each chapter of this book is cOl11posed of the description of an event or situation, of a few reflections in the light of faith: and, finally, of a short prayer."

David probably took the city from the Philistines between 1000 and 970 B.C. King Solomon rebuilt the city (1 Kings 9:15), made it a provincial capital and constructed the most elaborate fortifications in Palestine. The famous stables that housed 480 horses were built either by Solomon or the Israelite King Ahab. The Assyrian monarch Tiglathpieleser II destroyed and rebuilt the city in the last half of the 7th century during his campaign against the Northern Kingdom. Armageddon Ahazia, king. of Judah, died there while fleeing from Jehu (2 Kings 9:27), and Good King Josiah was killed there in battle with the forces of the Egyptian Pharoah Necho (2 Kings 23:29)

Security ·Assured For Retired Clergy BALTIMORE (NC)-Financial security for retired priests in the archdiocese of Baltimore has been assured by the establishment of a multi-million dollar trust fund. Although final details are only now being completed, the pension plan has been in effect since July I, 1972. More than 400 priests in the archdiocese-all but 10 of those eligible-are participating in the archdiocesan retirement program. "It is possible for a priest with 25 years service to pay only $100 (one year's cost) and be eligible for full retirement benefits," according to Anthony Horka, secretary for the Clergy Retirement Fund. "Not all retirement ,plans share this advantage." . The fund was begun when Cardinal Lawrence Shehan of Baltimore set aside gifts given to him when he was named cardinal. These gifts totalled $800,000, including interest, when placed in a trust fund last year.

Work and Labor Every family has its own plan of operation. What is important is never to forget that work can and should enhance the love we have for one another. After all, we believe that everything is in God's plan-even family work. If work is in his plan, then there must be some reason for it. And what better reason could there be for work, than that it helps us grow in love? Maybe mother is bogged down with ironing and a hectic house. If dad or the kids give her a hand in a spirit of love, that can't help but shore up the family's foundations. If the kids earn part of their way and lessen their financial demands on dad - that's love. They' sense it; he knows it. When a mother who hates to cook turns out Boston cream pie for a husband who loves Boston cream pie-that's work, but also love. And, in a family that works together in love, the children are forming attitudes that will affect their performance as future family makers.

The loss dropped the Vineyard back into a deadlock with Apponequet and West Bridgewater. Nantucket trails the circuit leaders by one game .with a 4-2 loop mark.

Blue Hills Re~ional of Canton will conclude its season Saturday at Easton against Southeastern Regional and Manchester is at Provincetown in the remaining Mayflower contest scheduled for Saturday. While the Mayflower clubs are putting the finishing touches on their season most area grid forces will be on the sidelines Saturday waiting for Thanksgiving morning when the curtain will come. down on the 19.73 scholastic schoolboy grid campaign.

Diocesan Rivals End Season Saturday Only two other contests are slated for this weekend with Bishop Stang High of Dartmouth hosting Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro and Norton entertaining Bristol-Plymouth 'Regional from Taunton. ,The Stang-Feehan clash will be the first of the traditional season ending rivalries. Over -the years the meetings between the two diocesan adversaries has often had a direCt bearing on the old Bristol County League championship. No title, undefeated season or the like will be at stake Saturday. Stang finished second in the Southeastern Mas· sachusetts Conference Division 11 race; Feehan seventh in Division I. In Norton 'Bristol Plymouth will be playing its second varsity game in the school's history. The craftsme'n lost their first contest last week 20-0 to Diman Regional of Fall River. Like the StangFeehan contest no champion rests in the balance; however, a new rivalry could be in the off-

ing for both clubs who hope to switch the game to Thanksgiving Day in future yeaJs. Come Thanksgivipg morning, when old rivals collide throughout the diocese, more than league championships will be on the line for at least three area teams. Two schools will be out to protect their undefeated and untied records, a third will be vying for a post season playoff berth. The game of the day will match Bourne and Wareham. Bourne, S. E. Massachusetts Conference Division II champion, enters the fray with an 8-0 record. A victory would virtually assure the Canalmen of a shot at the State Division 3 title.

Bill Atkinson, Quadriplegic, Will Become Augustinian' Priest Next February

VILLANOVA (NC) - In 1965 when Bill Atkinson's big brother Al was making his first bone", crushing tackles for the New" York Jets, Bill lay in a hospital bed, paralyzed from the shoul'deI'S down. It looked then that if there were going to be any heroiCs in the Atkinson family, they would have to come from AI, the Villanova University football hero who made it 'to big-time pro football. For Bill, who a year earlier had entered the novitiate of the Augustinian order, it looked like the end of the line. If he lived, the best the doctors could promise him would be a life confined to a wheel chair as a quadriplegic.

No one can say for sure, but it is believed that Atkinson will be the first in the United States, possibly in the world, to become a priest under such a handicap.
