Starts Poverty War

At the heart of the' Thanksgiving Campaign for Human Development is a two-pronged effort to change attitudes and opinions about the poor and to eistablish a new source 'of finanI cial capital to eliminate the very spurces of poverty in the United States. This campaign has been given the top priority in' the G:atholic Church in the United States. Its Thanksgiving Appeal ,*i11 be made this coming Sunday, I November 22, in all churches of the Fall River Diocese and the nation. The monies contributed *i11 begin 'what will hopefully become a seed fund of fifty million dollars fr'om which programs Will be sponsored that will aim at the roots of poverty. These programs of education and retraining will enable the poor to help themselves rise from the ,

circle of poverty that has enslaved generation after generation. At the same time, correct information on who the poor are and the causes of their poverty are being. stressed, so that the old myths of the poor as ablebodied but lazy individuals or black sharecroppers in rural areas only will be laid to rest once and for all. The present massive campaign is the Catholic Church's answer to what is a scandal and a shame in the nation, the presence of so much pov~rty in the wealthiest nation in the world. And in a I nation that professes to be Christian, it is necessary for the Catholic Church to make a tremendous effort to correct this scandal. The Campaign and its goals were outlined last Sunday in a

Members of Espirito Santo have reque~ted permission to continue the only Portuguese-oriented 'school but would also seek the bishop's approval of such a stand. Parishioners of St. Mary's Cathedral and Blessed Sacrament School in Fall River have resolved to see how the new diocesan Bishop, Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, deals with regionalization before declaring for or against regionalization. In Attleboro, Catholic school officials met with the Attleboro School Committee to seek ways to alleviate the financial troubles of St. Joseph Parish School in that city. A shared resources plan was discussed whereby children would spend part of their time in public school and the other part in Catholic school daily. St. Joseph School is prepared to lease part of its building to the school department to conduct classes for parochial students, Rev. Patrick J. O'Neill announced. Unless some aid is forthcoming, officials of. the parish school announced that the sixth, seventh and eighth grades would be closed. The uncertainty of the continued existence of parish schools is also turning away prospective students and thus compounding the problem by producing still less financialtuition help. The School Committee listened to the Superintendent of Diocesan Schools and Mr. Gerard A. Juaire, chairman of the parish school board, and asked them for formal written proposals to be examined by the Attleboro School Committee and the City Solicitor. Turn to Page Two

Special Officers Guard Embassies In Washington WASHINGTON (INC)-A new police force has taken to the streets here, giving the Capital one of the largest and most varied aggregations of law enforcement officers to be found . anywhere. The new force is the Executive Protective Service, established by an act of Congress, and formed by authorizing 600 men to be added to the already existing 250-man White House police. ·But the name was changed from White House police to EPS, because the new force is designed essentially to patrol near and protect the 1'23 foreign embassies and chanceries accredited to our' government, and no one wanted the White House name dragged into an embarrasing situation which might develop at or n'ear an embassy. It was said that only some 60 EPS men are on the street at present, and that members are being recruited throughout the' country. Congress stipulated that, until 1975, no more than 30 men a year could transfer from the Metropolitan Police Department, now 5,100 men strong, to EPS. At Soviet Embassy What effect the new force will have in the fight against crime here remains to be seen. It will release a considerable number of city policemen who in recent years have stood guard at or near foreign embassies, in some cases for 24 hours a day. One of the first places to which EPS men were assigned is the Soviet Embassy, where the local police have maintained a 24-hour patrol, "on and off for the last six months or so." In addition to the Metropolitan Police Department and the EPS, there are in Washington FBI agents, the U.S. Park Police, who patrol the numerous large and small parks that come under the Federal Government; the U.S. Capitol police, the force charged with guarding the large National Zoological Park, and special forces guarding the many federal and city buildings, aqueducts, and other places. Members of the EPS will patrol the neighborhoods where embassies and chanceries are 10' cated on foot and motor bikes and in automobiles. Some officers will stand "fixed posts" at potential. trouble spots where a 24·hour guard has been requested.

Nationalist China Has New Nuncio VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican has appointed a new apostolic nuncio to nationalist China, thereby apparently quashing press speculation that the Holy See is preparing to abandon diplomatic relations with Taiwan and recognize the Peking povernment of Red China. The Vatican, in an unusually brief announcement, said that 47year·old career diplomat Msgr. Edward Cassidy, an Australian, has been assigned as apostolic nuncio to what the Vatican calls simply "China," meanil)g nation· alist China. Taiwan has been without a , nuncio since the transfer several weeks ago to Ecuador of Archbishop Luigi Accogli.

Says Abortion Law 'Too Liberal' BUFFALO (NC)-The head of Planned Parenthood-World Population said here that New York state's abortion law which went into effect last July 1, is "too liberal." . Dr. Alan F.

The physician called abortion an important back-up method for contraception failures, but acknowledged it could be dangerous in later stages of pregnancies. '

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko met in the Vatican for an hour and 20 minutes Thursday and discussed major world problems. No communique was issued by the Vatican after the end of the private audience. However, ac· cording to well informed sources, the two discussed a wide range of problems. Among subjects given special attention was that of nuclear, disarmament and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The deterioration of the situation in the Middle E'ast and the threat it poses to world peace also was a subject discussed at length. Vatican sources said the Vietnam war and the situation in Southeast Asia was another topic on which both exchanged views. Church in Russia The Pope, according to the same sources, also brought up problems connected with the life of the Church in the Soviet Union. The Soviet foreign minister had been in Rome for a threeday round of official visits with Italian government officials. While his visit to the Vatican had been expected ....: he had visited Pope Paul in 1966 - the actual audience time and date was not disclosed until the last moment. The Russian diplomat spent almost three hours inside the Vatican Palac~, a good part of the time in a private tour of the great artistic treasures of the buildings, including those of the Renaissance artist Raphael and the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo.

Fall River School- . Salutes Book Week in This is· National Children's Book - Week and nowhere is it being celebrated more enthusiastically than at St. Michael's School, Fall River, where students are enjoying what is probably the most up to the minute elementary school library in the Diocese. Spanking new, it even boasts college-type carrels or small enclosures for individual . study. "They are set up for use of tapes or programmed learning equipment," said Sister Joseph Dolores, S.LT.S.C., full time librarian at the Essex Street school.' Plans for the library were hatched about a year ago, said·. Sister Therese Faucher, S.U.S.C., principal, with parents and other interested parishioners contributing money for books.. An allpurpose room on the ground floor of the school was taken over and shelving sufficient to accommodate 10,000 books was installed, together with library tables and colorful chairs, wall to wall carpeting and attractive draw drapes. A fully equipped charge desk and work room complete the furnishings. The $34,000 project is' all paidfor, with the exception of the library chairs, "and the bill for those only came in last week," said a hardworking parishioner, one of many involved in the ambitious undertaking. "Don't name anyone,:' he added. "There were so many of us helping." Open House Some of the helpers will' be on hand Sunday, when the library will be open for inspection following each Mass and from t to 3 in the afternoon. . On school days, said Sister Joseph Dolores, the room is open for an hour after classes in the afternoon, and during

the . day there are regularly scheduled library periods for each grade, in addition to frequent story hours for the younger children. . Preparations for the library opening involved George Pillion, librarian of the Fall River Public Library, who was generous with advice and informative material. And an ecumenical touch was lent by Mrs. Hyman Pollock, librarian at Fall River's Temple Beth-El, who gave suggestions "as from one private, specialized library to another." A bookplate designed by St. Michael parishioner Belisario Almeida di~tinguishes gift books, Sister Joseph Dolores pointed out. At present she has on display a colorful selection of art work by children of the school. This will vary with the seasons: What won't vary is the pride children, teachers and parishioners are taking in what amounts to one more solid 'proof that Catholic schools are far from ready to "fold up their tents like the Arabs and as silently steal away."

At Tyburn Gallows site, where 19 of the martyrs died and which is now a corner of London West End's fashionable Park Lane, three days of special services were held in the adjoining martyrs' convent of the Adorers of the Sacred Heart. A large crowd, including members of religious orders represented among the martyrs, gathered at the execution site outside the notorious Tower of London jail on the. eastern side

of the city where several others of the new saints were taken to die. The national anthem was sung as a symbol of the martyrs' declarations of loyalty on the scaffold despite their execution as traitors. Actor-author Robert Speaight read a special appreciation of the martyrs and prayers were said by some members of the martyrs' families. Pilgrimages to Shrines London's Westminster Cathedral, the nation's principal Catholic church, where the corpse of St. John Southworth is publicly enshrined, will hold a triduum with John Cardinal Heenan of Westminster participating in concelebrated Masses on the three days. Concelebrants will include

members of the hierarchy, and the preacher will be Father Clement Tigar, S.J.; vice-postulator of the martyrs' cause. Similar celebrations were held throughout the country, especially in districts where the saints lived or died. Visits were made to their homes or places connected with their lives, and thanksgiving pilgrimages went to national shrines such as Welsingham and Aylesford. The British Catholic press treated the canonizations as the greatest single event in the English-speaking Church since the canonizations of St. Thomas More and' St. John Fisher 35 years ago., The general Britisl1 press gave substantial coverage to the canonizations in Rome and carried feature stories on the martyrs.

Human ..Development The Campaign for Human Development is precisely what its name says. It is a: massive effort by all the Catholics of the nation to mount an attack against the causes of poverty in the land. The immediate goal is to raise fifty million dollars but this money is but a means to an end. It will be used to enable men. and women to develop their potential to become citizens living in economic dignity, away from the hellish circle of poverty which has entrapped generation after generation of the poor. An important aspect of the Campaign is to awaken people to the identity of the poor. All too often the poor are pictured as lazy able-bodied people 'who could work but won';t, who would rather take a welfare check than support a family. Another frequently-held idea is th~t th~ poor are almost always blacks living on a sharecropper_ farm in some Southern rural area. . , The facts are that 40 per cent of the poor are under 18 years of age, 20 per cent are over 65; 35 per cent are in families where the head works throughout the year 65 per cent of the poor are white, 10 per cent of those living in metropolitan areas are· poor and two-thirds of these are white. The facts are th'at almost 13 million Americans are hungry and another 24 million suffer from some form of malrmtrition. And this in a nation whose annual national budget goes well over 200 billion dollars a year. »'Prayer of the Faithful The Catholic Church in the United States has had a wonderful record of aid to the poor.

Poverty War Continued from, Page One gry. They are prey to disease, and are themselves, natural carriers of plagues and epidemics. So even the healthiest and richest among us may sometime suffer because of the incidence of poverty. In the United States, in urban areas alone, there are over thir=' teen million men and women, two-thirds of them white, wholive in hovels, stand in welfare lines, -and beg, borrow, even steal for a living. And it turns out to be only a penurious one! ' Now that we recognize that there are considerable problems in this "land of gold and riches," what are we to expect in crowdedcontineilts like India, AfriCa, and· Latin America? Missionaries, social workers" nurses and physicians all tell the same story. Too many hungry mouths, and all too positive proofs of exploding populatiqn. The situation grows difficult by the ~ay. And the end is never near. But this does not mean abandonment of· hope for the hungry, and de~ featism on our part. The fundamental Christ-like virtue is compassion, He never stopped thinking and providing for those in need; of the five thousand in the desert, "We cannot send them away in the desert, for many will die on the way," (St. Matthew, 14:16) "I was hungry, and you gave me to eat," This situation in the teaching of Christ 'was the prime one in the matter of salvation. We are all bound, as Ch~istians, to be good to the poor. On Sunday next, November 22nd, we have our chance to be generous. Throughout the whole Catholic world, we are to. take . part in a Campaign for' 'Human Development. Traditionally, we' have 'given clothing and money in a· Thanksgiving Appeal. We have shared in a splendid crusade against poverty. But it has never been even close to solving all human requirements, not even in the matter of food. Impossible though it be to do enough, because of constantly' worsening conditions, we must, nonetheless, try.' honestly and consCientiously all we can, not alone this year, but every year .to the end. of our days. That is the ,commandment of Christ: "Love one another as I have loved you." Saint James in his catholic Epistle: draws the pic-. ture of men recognizing human needs and satisfying their con:. sciences with simple good wishes. "How can the Charity of Christ be in such people? Where indeed is Faith if it does not function?" . So, I urge one and all in the Diocese to make generous provision for men and women and children in desperate need thoughout the world. I will be personally involved with you, and my offering will be substantial. With the certitude that Charity covers a multitude of sins, and that God rewards the cheerful giver, I invoke God's blessings on all those that want, and those that come to their aid. Even though we know that we cannot resolve all problems of the poor, especially on a worldwide basis, we must never cease' trying. Where, there is real sympathy and compassion, there is bound to be a better world. Faithfully yours in Christ, ffi JAMES L. CONNOLLY,

able to out-talk several teenagers, out-run several inbetween-agers, and out-smart a conniving baby. Advantage 'if can cook, clean, run vacuum and washing machine. Acceptable if can just keep back to the wall and head above water." Only one applicant called. 'My niece agreed to the job because. she was desperate for some extra cash. When my husband and I left, the children and their confident baby-sitter were smiling happily, wishing us well. "Have a good trip." "We can take care of everything. "Don't worry about a thing." I worried. I heard my son tell his cousin, "Boy, it's going to be neat with you here· instead of Mom!" My real concern was for my niece.' She's a nice kid and I was leaving her with an unreasonable mess. But she's a sensible girl and would know what to do in a crisis-yell for help. When we returned, they assured us everything was fine. My niece said she would be glad to baby-sit again, "Any time. Just give me a month to recuperate b~fore you call me." My first observations upheld their claim. They had done well. The dishes were done; the house was tidier when we returned than it was when we left. The laundry-room was immaculate. They had washed, folded and put away everything * * * thoroughly. Some of it hasn't reappeared yet. Evidently they had some difficulty sorting the clothing. The oldest 'boy's dungarees were in his little sister's dresser. In fact, everyone's clothing was in that dresser. But, the laundry-room was neat. Bit by bit I learned more of what happened while we were away. My niece held they should cook for themselves. She had been an outstanding student in home economics. My sons had supported her, "All three of us have earned the cooking merit badge at Scouts. And besides, it'll be fun."

The first evening, they planned macaroni and tomato sauce. After scome discussion regarding the proper seasoning for the sauce, each cook added his own favorite - and salt. My niece tasted it and had to dive for a 'glass of water. One of my bright sons assur~d her, "Whenever Mom puts too much salt in something, she adds sugar." Before she could stop him, he had emptied the sugar bowl into the pot. They now had tomato syrup. While it simmered they prepared the rest· of the meal. A Little Macaroni No one could decide how much macaroni was needed, and each added a little more. Befote long, they had four full boxes cooking. As it swelled, they started transferring it to larger pots. ' . . With the hustling to keep the macaroni from overflowing, they forgot to stir the sauce. It bUrrito The chemist tried agair. "Whenever Mom burns something, she adds salt." The others no longer believed his "cures" and tackled him befqre he reached the salt. But all' insisted the meal had.' been delicious. I should have looked at the huge pots of macaroni objectively and congratulated them on their foresight. They had pr~ pared enough for every meal for the following week. Since I had given no specific instructions regarding bedtime, the boys had made plans for the evening. Although they didn't earn any merit badges for it, the three Scouts had also learned to play cards at camp. They invited their cousin to join them. It took till long after midnight, but they learned that girls can play cards too! Those Elephants In between beating the boy~, she completely replenished the little girls' repertoire of "elephant. jokes." They were thrilled because she promised to send them a whole book of elephant jokes. The next morning it started. . "Mommy, why did the elephant

Schulte, archdiocesan schools sperintendent, was unavailable for immediate comment on the union's action. AfT (local 176 - American Federation of Teachers, AFLCIO) already is the bargaining agent for about 940 lay teachers in the 32 diocesan high schools. Should lay elementary school teachers vote to be represented by ACT, some 2,000 teacbers in 286 schools would be affected. The figure represents approximately 40 per cent of the total elementary school teaching force, according to Reilly.

"break the '. hellish ;:circl'e of poverty"

)

If we accept as a poverty level an annual income less than one-half of the median family income for the U.S., we would find that the percentage of families with incomes less than one-half the median family inCOme over the past two decades has remained nearly constant. In the decade since public attention has been focused on poverty, we have just managed to. maintain the same proportion of low income families. As Michael Harrington said in his famous book, The Other America:

POVERTY What constitutes poverty in America? What makes a family poor? Who are these poor? These are questions that we will try to answer in a brief poverty profile on the "Poor" in America. .What constitutes poverty? A family of four whose income is $3,553 per year or less is "officially" classified as poor, by the U. S. Government. The inflationary spiral of the past several years renders this income totally inadequate for any family living anywhere. The U. S. Department of Labor has established an "adequate" low income budget for an urban family of four-another indication of economic requirement. In 1968, the last year for which comparative figures are available, an urban family of four needed an annual income of $5,913. Even this figure is clearly too low. Recently, it was authoritatively estimated that an urban family of four would need an income of more than $10,000 per year to live adequately. Regardless of the several income levels that are generally used to define poverty, a family of four whose breadwinner works full-time at the Federal minimum wage of $1.60 per hour would not earn enough to escape the "official" government classification of poor. The table below illustrates the gap between the income level at the minimum wage and the Government poverty income level and the City Worker's Low Budget (U. S. Department of Labor) for a family of four: OEO .

The estimates from this table demonstrate that even the proposed minimum wage of $2.00 per hour is $1.00 per hour too low to provide a family of four with an adequate income.

"The poor are caught in a vicious circle, or, the poor live in a culture of poverty."

If we accept a definition of culture as man's social heritage including all the benefits, knowledge, skills and customs he has acquired as a member of society, then we can agree with Harrington that in the United States there are large segments of people who are born poor, live poor, die poor, having begotten children who fall into the same circle of poverty.

There are an estimated. 50.5 rdlion families. in our country today of whom: 8.1 million have annualiDeomes of $4,000 or less, and within these 8.1 million families, theni·are3 million adults working fulltime at jobs that do not pay a wa~above the poverty standard. Therefore, we can' say that there are'Mions of. Americans who want to wor~ and do work but :ar~sti1l'Ji~ in poverty. WHO ARE THE POOR ? -40% of the poor are childrerrunder 18. -65% of the poor are

Percentage of families Income Income less than less than one-half $3,000 the median

YEAR

These figures completely refute .the myth that in America "the poor are black". In fact, the vast majority of the poor in this country are white, who in many instances work full-time but still are trapped in poverty. -

There are 14.4 million Americans who are hungry. Another 23.5 million suffer from some sort of malnutrition. Therefore, millions of Americans in 1970 do not eat properly, most due to economic handicaps.

CONCLUSION The poor we have talked about in this report are not just statistics but real persons. It is difficult to imagine that children and infants in America suffer brain damage because they are hungry or that men who work full-time must watch this brain damage happen to their children because "the system" does not pay them enough to properly feed them. (Eight million American children are hungry as you read this.) Economically, poverty hurts the society. It would be to our advantage to help raise these people into the mainstream of American life because they would be able to make substantial contributions to America. As the United States approaches a trillion dollar economy, there can no longer be any excuses for accepting poverty in America. More importantly, in human terms, it is our imperative moral obligation to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and share our temporal blessings.

When we use the word "hunger" and "malnutrition" many people get confused, and would argue semantics; so to clarify these terms, let us supply definitions: HUNGER is the subjective feeling, the acute ache, resulting from an individual's lack of food for a specific period of time. UNDER-NUTRITION is the consumption of an insufficient quantity: of food or one or more essential nutrients. MALNUTRITION is the impairment or risk of impairment of mental or physical health resulting from failure to meet the total physiological nutrient requirements of an individual. . STARVATION is the state of advanced under-nutrition, the effect of which is wastage of body tissues and ultimately death. Of these problems, the most serious in America is malnutrition.

The United States Senate's Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs gives the following economic and social consequences of malnutrition in America. "The human costs to our society of failing to meet the hunger problem-the emotional and psychological effeets of hunger on families that cannot meet their food needs-are incalculable. The economic benefits which would result from the elimination of malnutrition among our poverty population, however, can be estimated in terms of higher educational achievement, increased work productivity and declining incidence of disease, infection and death. The elimination of poverty-related hunger and malnutrition would, according to a recent Bureau of the Budget estimate, result in a three-fold return on our taxpayers' investment." The Committee is informing us that not only is hunger in America morally and socially evil but it diminishes the American economy. Therefore, "hunger" must be made to disappear from America before we can say America is doing its best for all its citizens.

BALTIMORE (NC)-Members of BaItimoress First Friday Club met for a hamburger lunch at a downtown hotel here to hear Cardinal John Wright, head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy, explain. some of the confusion causing today's crisis of faith.

"The exciting years of the Second Vatican Council experience * * * have stimulated minds

and- dizzied some imaginations with the theoretical sp¢culations. reasonings, wit, Wisdom. subtle:. ty and occasional aberraijons of scores of theologians who suddenly became popUlar lecturers."

Citizen Group Takes Court Action Against TV Violence to Children WASHINGTON (NC)-A citizen group alarmed by possibly harmful effects of fictional. violence televised to the nation's youngsters, took court action here as "a first step" to do away with horror and d~struction aired before 9 P.M. Lawyers representing the group called Foundation to Improve Television filed a petition in the federal court for the District of Columbia seeking to prevent presentation of the rerun "Wild, Wild West" on local television station WTOP. In addition to the Post-Newsweek Stations, Capital Area. Inc., the group's suit is against the Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., the Federal Communications Commission, Television Advertising. Representatives, Inc., and the show's sponsors: the Pillsbury Company, Royal Crown Cola Company and Richardson Merrell, Inc., makers of ClearasiI. With its request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctions against the rerunning of "Wild, Wild West," the group also asked that the court grant a declaratory judgement that children have a constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment to be free from the mental -harm caused by viewing programs portraying fictional violence and horror. In a news conference here, foundation president William S.

Abbott stated firmly that the group "does not expect or hope to become a board of censors." Rather, he said, the organization "would further. the development of an open,free society by proving that television entertainment is not the private domain of a few people intent on broadcasting for profit at our children's expense." One of Many He said "Wild, Wild West," based on exploits of two undercover agents, was selected as the group's target simply as one of the many examples of violence-oriented programs children see during their prime viewing hours, or before 9 P.M. Often, he said, parents are not at home when such programs are shown and thus are not exercising parental censorship. The foundation's board of directors includes Charles G.

What is not so obvious, I suspect, is how risky it is to be a leader in our troubled times.

By REV. ANDREW

M.H'<: i.--

GREELEY

Three of the great Americans Qf last decade, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, were killed mostly because th.ey were precisely the kind of men to whom others looked for leadership. I do not happen to think that the Kennedys were shot simply because they, were rich, handsome, and gifted I!,ish aristocrats, nor was Dr. King shot simply because he was black. Any man arriving on American scene at the present time of commitment and conviction who draws other men to follow him runs into a serious risk,' not merely of being hated by a subst;mtial number of us, but also of being killed by some demented member of the lunatic fringe. Admiration, Hatred We have not had in the Church and, given the present method of selecting bishops, are not likely to have for the foreseeable future, leaders of the quality of the brothers Kennedy or Dr. King. As a matter of fact, while all historical data are inadequate, one is hard put to thihk of a time when the American hierarchy has had less charistmatic leadership than it does at the present time. Nonetheless, should a charismatic bishop, by some happy chance, appear on the scene, he would likely stir up not only admiration but hatred, and while he might not be assassinated, he would be very well advised to take careful security precautions. If the public has to choose between two men such as Mr. Nixon and Mr. Humphrey, neither one of whom, whatever their other merits, could possibly be called charismatic, the reason might not be simply a shortage of charismatic men nor a conspiracy on the part of the, nominating conventions, but also the 'realization of men with strong personalities 'and strong convictions that they would be' quite literally risking their lives if they' should mount the public podium. Strong F!1ther Figure' It is not so difficult to explain whence comes this hatred for the man who combines' this personal attractiveness with strong convictions. Deep in the unConscious of all of us there is a hatred and a fear of the strong -

<If

pend, and his attractiveness to hate. I Only in a society where far' more of us have good relation-I ships with our fathers than we' presently do will there not bel' powerful currents of hatred' against a. great ma~. . I What IS more difficult to explain is why at some times inl history this hatred for the vigorous and dynamic leader be-I comes more violent and more' destructive than it is at otherl' times. , One must suppose that in l periods of uncertainty, anxiety,' and confusion the need for a' strong father figure on which tol depend becomes greater. But so,: too, does the need to destroy th~ father who is seen not merel~ as a cure for dependency bu~ also the source of it. Respects Courage There ought to be some bette~ way. Perhaps if the mass media were not so eager to give pub" licity to the polarizers (and the~ do give them such publicity, no matter how many studies the~ make to show that they do not); . perhaps if the militants of both the Right and the Left (and one certainly includes the Vice Pres l ident) abandoned their wild rhetoric; perhaps if intellectual~ put aside their conviction that Mr. Nixon is a Nazi, planning to cancel the 1972 elections; perL haps if black leaders abandoned their contention that all white men are racists; perhaps if George Wallace sat down and shut up; perhaps if student~ were willing to give up their hair and their beards for the sake of peace; perhaps if no one burned another American flag; perhap~ if more American whites admit that it is hellish to be a black in our country-perhaps then it would not be so dangerous to bb a political leader in our countrJt, or at least to be a political leader of stature and conviction. I But then .'if all these marvelous things should occur, those same twisted personality needs that make us want to kill someone we admire (and Sirhan Sithan is Everyman writ large) would also go away. In tHe meantime, one can only respect the courage of those who seek public office. They are almost as brave-or foolhardy-as thoSe heroic souls who become college presidents. I

Meanwhile President Nixon called upon every American to join him in seeking to "refresh our spirits and fortify our resolves by reading Holy Scrip~ tures" during the 30th annual interfaith National Bible Week, Nov. 22 to 29. "I join the American Bible Society, the Catholic Biblical Association and,the Laymen's National Bible Committee in urging every American to participate in the uplifting tradition of this 30th annual National Bible Week," the President stated. Common Bond Father William J. Tobin, assistant director, National Center

for Religious Education-Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, said National Bible Week will afford American Catholics an opportunity to mark the ecumenical significance of the newly published American Bible. "The Sacred Scriptures form a fundamental common bond between all Christian churches. The New American Bible now takes its place alongside the Revised Standard Version, the New English Bible and the English translation of the Jerusalem Bible as contemporary bases for Christian renewal," Fther Tobin said., , Father Stephen J. ,Hartdegen, coordinating editor of the New American Bible, has been chosen to receive an award from the Laymen's National Committee at a Bible Week luncheon in New York on Nov. 20 in recognition of his work.

Family Life 'Not Outmoded In Holy Rosary Pari,sh

LONDON (NC)-The English and Welsh bishops have set up a, special committee to help improve relations 'with "colored" persons in this country. The term "colored" in Britain includes West Indians and Asians as well as blacks. The new committee, part of the bishops' . National Social Welfare Commission, will organize educational, informa~ional and social action programs at diocesan and parish levels. Racism has been quietly but steadily increasing in Britain. since World War II, with the break up of the old empire and the flood into this country of color'ed persons claiming ,British citizenship from Africa, Asia and 'the West Indies. The govern-, ment imposed strict controls on admissions in 1969. The new committee, which has three colored members, is head· ed by Auxiliary Bishop Josepb Cleary of Birmingham, the vast industrial complex in central England that has attracted ~any of the colored immigrants.

Lauds American Fondness For Traveling Overseas r

The 19th century American philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson, who attached' great importance to the virtue of self-reliance and was wont to extol it rather ecstatically in his writings, took a: very dim view of traveling.

Emerson made this dour judgment _at a time when only a handful of his fellow-countrymen were able, in any given . year, to indulge their wanderlust and travel overseas. Had he been abie to anticipate or foresee that, a hundred years later, passports (and travel-now. pay-later credit cards) would be commonplace equipment for millions of restless and rootless All'Jericans and that Zanzibar would be more readily accessible to residents of Concord than Philadelphia, for example, was in his own day, he might have despaired of our ever being able or even willing to cultivate the higher virtues and develop a vi, able civilization of our own making on this, the' far side' of the Atlantic Ocean. There is undoubtedly something to be said for Emerson's point of view. In any event, he was not the first American philosopher, nor will he be the last to remind us' that man's incur~ able itch for travel 'is a snare and a delusion and that it's the wise man who resists the wanderlusut and elects to stay at home and . quietly cultivate' the garden of his own mind and heart "and soul.

The Thanksgiving Mass

Just one year ago I wrote these words: "I wonder how crowded our Catholic churches will be this Thanksgiving. Will a new experimental text, several convenient MasSes, some pulpit promoting the Sunday before and a little parish planning in advance bring a great number of Americans to church on the holiday?" , We have no statistical surveys on the subject, nor are there any hard facts with which to answer my question. However, two churches - the Cathedral in Grand Rapids, Michigan and St.' Michael's parish in Findlay, Ohio-did plan solemn eucharistic celebrations for the occasion and both drew 800 worshipers to the thanksgiving service. The key element in these successful liturgies was careful' preparation and early publicity. At Grand Rapids announcements in the parish buIletin, "Give thanks to th'e Lord .:with a gift for the poor," began three Sundays before the holiday. The school's art department guided students of every class in making appropriate banners for the sanctuary and decorating bushel baskets, each with a special motif, which later would hold donations from that particular home room. Bible As Reminder A bible, open to a psalm of praise and gratitude and placed in a central location, reminded viewers of the approaching Mass. The concelebrated Thanksgiving Eucharist began at 10:30 with a procession made up of priests, a deacon, lectors (president of the parish council and head of its liturgical committee), adult servers, six candle bearers, an incense-bearer and two persons bearing cross and American flag. At the offertory everyone in the congregation came down the center aisle to .the sanctuary,' presented canned goods for the local poor or money for Biafra, then returned by either side to their pews. It was a busy moment for the deacon, who assisted, since the. gifts filled three dozen bushel baskets. The Cathedral choir sang a motet, "0 Lord Most Holy" during the procession and the organist played an instrumental piece until all were back in their seats. Later, choir and congregation united in "What You Gave Us for Our Taking" from the missalette while chosen individuals brought water, wine, chalice, paten, a loaf of bread and grapes to the priests. The principal celebrant, as a final part of this presentation ceremony, incensed the altar and the gift baskets. An interesting note (also true in other churches throughout the nation): often the poorer, the blacker a family, the bigger their offering; the whiter and richer a family, the smaIler their donation.

Michael's in Findlay are farmers. Working with the pastor, the parishioners established a Thanksgiving Day Liturgy Committee and cared for the details of this service. They publicized the Mass (for two Sundays in the bulletin and in the religious section of local papers), composed 10-12 intentions for a prayer of the faithful (too many ordinarily, but not in such a context), and organized the offertory procession. Personal Oflierings The capacity crowd carried canned goods as they did in Grand Rapids, but many offered more personal items. Two long tables in the sanctuary were covered with butter, wheat, steaks, lamb chops, fresh preserves, pickles, corn, strawberries, cherries, apples anI! cider. A commentator explained what all this meant and stressed the theme also used in Michigan-we should show gratitude to the Lord by sharing our blessings with the needy. Both churches employed a varied musical program involving choir and congregation to heighten the service's solemnity. At the Cathedral, for example, people sang the' Holy, Holy, Holy, a memorial acclamation, and. the great Amen (opportunities for singing at Mass strongly recommended by liturgical musicians). In St. Michael's, Father Don Peterson put his musical talents and training plus the parish's fifty-three voice choir to work. He bleinded, as did the Grand Rapids musical director, "church" music with a thanksgiving content and "patriotic" tunes like "America the Beautiful." Brass accompaniment added a special quality to this melody. Do these Catholic Thanksgiving Day observations interfere with interfaith efforts on that .

holiday? Perhaps. However, some, llike the congregation at the church of St. Maurice in Bolton, Conn., resolved this conflict by participating in interfaith worship services on Wednesday evening. The provisional text approved for use in the United States

does, of course, provide a variety of readings (now increased by the new book of readings), appropriate prayers, psalms, and processional chants. The prayer after Communion says rather well what are or should be our thoughts on this holiday. "Let us share with generous hearts and open hands the fruits of eternal life." At the Second Vatican. Council the bishops noted (art. 37) how "the Church s.tudies with sympathy and preserves intact" elements of a people's way of life in the liturgy, "so long as they harmonize with its true and authentic spirit." The experience in Grand Rapids and at Findlay seems to indicate that a well-planned Thanksgiving Day Mass can most satisfactorily incorporate American traditions into' Catholic worship. Discussion Questions 1. How should our Thanksgiving Day liturgy express our gratefulness for the blessings we have received during the past year? 2. What are some practical Thanksgiving Day suggestions for the liturgy?

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Bishops' conferences throughout the world will be consulted. on the problem of sex education. ' The...... decision to consult the bishops on the topic was ·made at the annual meeting of the directors of the Congregation for' Catholic Education.. . The two-day plenary meeting of the congregation discussed a broad range' of problems, including the continuing' drop in seminary entries, the teaching of theology in an age of theologi<:al pluralism, coeducation, and..., the formal recognition of'universitylevel faculties. Twenty-seven cardinals and bishops took part in the meeting, under the chairmanship of" Cardinal Gabriel Garonne, prefect of the congregation.' . The congregation's consultation with bishops' conferences on· the problem of sex education will first consist in seeking information from the conferences on the state of sex education in their countries. The purpose of the ensuing dialogue, according -to an authoritative report in the Vatican City daily, L'Osservatore Romano, will be to "find ',the most suitable solution" to this many faceted problem. Archbishop Angel Suquia of, Malaga, who addressed' the meeting on the education of youth, said that sex education "cannot be abandoned to publicity." .
