such relatio!1 s was experienced over the past five years. Bishops' agreed that there was still evi-, dent some anti-semitism and that the State of Israel was a' stumbling block in harmonizing relations. Family Planning
The Bishops denied the requests to have Bishops them· selves settle Non-Consummation Marriage Cases and the Laicization of clerics who seek to leave the Priesthood. The step in decentralization was thought improper and unnecessary since Rome has taken steps to move faster in rendering decisions in such cases. Some Bishops also feared scandal that would arise from the various procedures that might be used by various dioceses. ' Th~ Canon Law Society of AmerIca was also requested not t?, se~d .suggestions to Rome for slmplIfymg' such cases. Laicized Priests The Bishops agreed' not ~o employ or use as consultants priests who have left the active ministry. This was not -a refJectlon on th~se priests perSO~?IIY' o.r on theIr personal quahflcl!t~on~;' but a "past?ral considerat~on for the f~ehngs of Cathohcs already dIsturbed that so many priests are leaving.

"danger of invading human rights, and too' great a danger of assuming thatfamily planning will solve all the problems of poverty, racism and, social injustic'e by this oversim-' plifying expediency." Retired Bishops I It was decided that retired bishops will still' remain mem.; bers of the Bjshops' Conference but they will no longer have a votli! on anything that is binding on all NCCB members or that involves a commitment of money. This will affect some 35 of the 290 bishop-members. Finanees The t>udget for financing na;. tional agencies of the Bishops' Conference is just not larg~ enough.' Both Bishops and ageni cies agree. Some bitternes!j arose as to how some money was appropriated. The' Bishops insisted that it is not the work of the Conference to serve as a fund raising.agency. ' Already $2 million in the red, the Bishops hoped to both voice a ,strong commitment and yet slash budgets. It' is a difficult task. ' Fighting the money squeeze, the Bis'hops voted to give the National Office of Black CathoIics only $150,000 inst~ad of the $659,000 it had hoped for. The Office angrily rejected the Bishops' proposal. accusing the' Church of racist attitudes. The money was slightly increased but only by taking from \ funds assigned to other agencies.

Credit Prelate ,-for" Progress Of Ecum·enism ALBUQUERQUE (NC) - Up and down the Rio Grande Valley here and in the towns high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Protestant clergymen praise the close relations with Roman Catholics that have developed in recent years. They tend to credit the new , ecumenical climate to Archbishop James P. Davis of/ Santa Fe. Archbishop Davis, who' has headed the New Mexico archdiocese since 1964, credits it to the sweep of history aM the "new brooms" proviqed by the Second Vatican Council. "The Vatican Council began in 1963 and I happened to come along at about the same time," he explained, citing ~he Council's emphasis on better communication with fellow Christians as well as nOll-believers. "We're all members of the human raCe and until the con-' trary is established, it should be assumed that we're all interested in one another. We all have common goals and ideals. That'-s the message I got out of -t\'lll Council." . And that is the message the archbishop is attempting, with some remarkable successes, to implement. Probably the bestknown ecumenical effort in which he is .involved was in leading the archdiocese into full membership in the Ne)\" Mexico Council of Churches. ·It was the first council in the nation to include a Catholic diocese within its membership, Archbishop Dayis believes that with aU the'l>roblems involved , in' bringing diverse churches together into a 'cooperative.,otgan~

.Financial Crisis At Holy Cross WORCESTER (NC) - Father John E. Brooks, S.J., president, reported to a faculty-student assembly 127-year-old Holy Cross . College here is' in a financial crisis. . Father Brooks, who took of.fice July I, said the college's deficit has "skyrocketed over the past three years," forcing . the trustees to cash in two major foundation gifts (Ford and BaChelor Foundations). He said during the last two years .the deficit climbed to $1.8 million. He said last year "we were forced to borrow money to get
Me, S.uller
by the Christmas holidays and meet the Dec. 31 payroll." Father Brooks said this school year's projected deficit is $381,000 which "can be met by liquidating a portion of the reo maining Ford and Bachelo:r money." He estimated some $500,000 would remain in foun· dation funds. "We have the wherewithal to survive one more year," Fathe:r Brooks said, "but keeping in mind, of course, that with continued inflation and tight money, we . may not have even this amount of time."

The Holy Father also asked all cardinals to offer their retirement from posts in the Church government when they turn 75. . However, the cardinals will retain their titles and honorary distinctions even after losing their curia posts and 'voting rights. The request that cardinals offer their resignations. as heads of Curia Departments at 75 paralleled a papal recommendation in 1966 that residenUal bishops -including .those holding card" inal's ranks-offer their resignation at that age.

In a 1968 decree, Pope Paul' also set retirement ages of 74. for most high curia officials, with the exception of cardinals, and 70 for lower·ranking officials. .

Yet what other season of the year are we more aware of our blessings . . . the spirit of families together . . . and the joyous feeling of good will "among people, even the "Scrooges" we all know? . What other time of the year do we' open· our hearts and our pocketbooks more to the poor, ·the sick, the orphan, and the loved one away from home? When also' do we make such a special effort to wish others mirth and happiness? We may not even realize the sacrifices-time, money, and energy-we make in the adv~nt of Christmas: cards, gifts, wrap' pings, decorations, and!' food. These sacrifices are not thought of as "suffering" because they are done in a spirit of joy . and genuine giving. Even if we may sigh with relief on Dec. 26th, we are happy to have "suffered through it." Advent, then, could be called the "training period" for our celebration of the birth of the Son of God and the celebraticn of ou~ own lives as sons of God. For isn't that what the antidpation, sacrifice, and the joyous spirit of Christmas are all about?

All of humanity is shocked at the terrifying, pictures coming out of East Pakistiln in the wa;ke of. the disastrous cyclQne and tidal wave. The survivors, shock and horror written into theirv.ery faces, can only look up with alms outstretch¢d and beg for the food. that is ~iterally meaning , their life or death. . .
And the' world is responding. Supplies and medicines are pouring in from all corners of the globe. If seem~ that the world is inde€~d' one Smilll community when tragedy on such a 'scale hits any part of the human family., .
The'sad part .is that many of the supplies are piling up in ports and larger cities 'of East Pakistan: The proDlem is one of distribution, of how, to get needed food and water and vaccines to isolated islands and areas.. ' . It is hoped that this can be Gone without too mu~h ~ore' loss of life. When hundreds of thousands of people di.e. the misery is ,just too awesojne to grasp. . . There is a question that does come to mind: if the world can rally art'a sen~ supplies to any area when it is'a,matt,er of starvation and hunger following a natur,!l disaster, why cannot this ,be done in the regular course of I~vents? Th~ fact is that the world can feed its numbers:' But the problem ' is one of' , distribution. .
The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations estimated several years- ago that th,e world could easily support fifteen billion people. And some experts have rais'ed the number. to fifty billion.' But the problem is reaping what the .land and" ~ea ca!l give, and then distributing Jhis to those in need. "

Printers' Unions ~rotest Chicago Papell'- Move' CHICAGO (NC)-Three printing trade unions launched two weekends of leafleting at Cath-' olic churches here to protest removal of the Chicago archdiocesan newspaper's printing operations to an Indiana printing plant. Some 30,000 pamphlets calling for boycott of the New World were given to union members for distribution at about 30 churches. The leaflets called for cancellation of subscriptions to and advertising in the New World, refusal to accept delivery of the paper and protesting with pastors and the Chicago chancery office. Supporters of the protest say the move will cost Chicago printers and others in newspaper production the equivalent of 60 fulltime jobs. They argue that the work should .be kept in Chicago, which supports the paper by subscriptions and advertising. . Presidents of union locals at - the Indiana plant, operated by Our Sunday Visitor Press, say they will be able to produce the New World with 40 men working two days a week. Economic Reasons

I There is something specilil. about residents of, a home who will help themselves. They are better for it, for one thing. Sacred Heart Home in New Bedford radiates with satisfaction among.a group of residents who participate in the home!s occupational therapy program. I Sister Theresa Bergeron R.N. is supervisor and Mrs. Riesha Morse the director. "There are about 15 to 20 who are real active in the program," Sister Bergeron says, "We've been at it since last March' and there's no question but what it has improved in interest aqd participation with every passing I ' month since that time.' "We- go at this program from a rehabilitative point of view. The improvemertt in one's morale and outlook is quite noticeable." Men and women residents presently are engaged in a variety, of Christ;tnas projects. The results are striking as well as clever; you have to see.the products of their labors to appreciate. what can be done from almost nothing. Attractive Santa Clauses suddenly spring up out of old Readtrs Digests. And old cigar boxes

For example, you have to know how to handle those who bite at the Host in your hand - we call them the snappers."

Supreme Court Accepts Appeal On' School Aid WASHINGTON (NC) - The United States Supreme Court has accepted an ·appeal from an earlier federal decision ruling state aid to teachers in Rhode Island private schools unconstitutional. The court. rules that the Rhode Island case would be heard together with previously accepted cases dealing with state aid to private schools in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, As a result, arguments in all three cases will be heard later . in the court's term, probably postponing a decision until next year. The Rhode Island case was accepted on an appeal by school officials 'and parents of parochial school students. They are seeking reversal of a decision by a three-Judge panel barring the state from supplementing the salaries of teachers in pri. vate schools. Secular Services In the Pennsylvania case, the issue revolves around use of state funds to purchase secular services from private schools. In Connecticut, the case is based on use of federal money to build dormitories and classroom facilities at· four Catholic colleges. Officials of the U. S. Justice Department have joined other appeIlants in two of the cases. In the Connecticut case, Solicitor General Erwin N. Griswold argued before the court that construction grants and loans are constitutional under safeguards that restrict the financial aid to buildings and classrooms' where religious subjects are not taught. An assistant solicitor general joined his signature with that 0"1 an assistant attorney general to urge the high court to sustain Pennsylvania's use of state money to purchase secular services.. .Seek Answer Civil liberties groups contend 'that state and federal aid to pri- . vate schools constitutes a. breach of the waf! between church and state. High court concurrence could mean an end to all forms of aid to private schools and ultimately an end to the schools themselves. The crux of the ·three cases' impact was summed up by Father Edward MuIlen, school superintendent for the Providence dioceese. "The reaIly important thing is that we get an answer one way or the other on the whole question of tax support for public schools," he said. He added· that he is reasonably confident the court will permit the Rhode' Island subsidies.

Rich~rd L. Gray of Bloomington, III., made his appeal after lower courts dismissed his contention that relig!ous freedom is violated by federal law allowing labor contracts with compulsory union membership.

So press releases on the project said free drawing certificates could be obtained by anyone who sent a stamped, selfaddressed envelope . to .St. Thomas School, Ojai, Calif. Included in most press releases, however, was· a request from Parks.. 'IOf course, if you're honest about it, and care, really care, about a good education, will you send along a little money?" Father Smith said only 10 per cent of the letters the parish has received have included no money. These have coine mostly from children, he said. Predictably, response has been worldwide: Father Smith said he gets between 100 and 150 letters each day and the total number of letters so far is around 10,000. , Close to $10,000 has already been raised, Father Smith said. Parishioners had hoped to raise between $40,000 and $50,000. But they are remaining optimistic, since there is still some time left. The winning ticket will be' drawn by Thomas Lewis, former president of the Catholic Broad· casting Association. "If ·we collapse after trying this hard," Father Smith told NC News, "no one can make it."
WASHINGTON (NC)-Brother Joseph M. Davis, S.M., head of the National Office for Black Catholics here, called on leaders of the Knights. of St. Peter Claver to support the work of his office. In an open letter addressed to the grand knights of the black Catholic fraternal organization, Brother Davis said that "every black Catholic organization has its part to play in the success of this office." "If we continue to remain in a missionary status," Brother Davis said, "and see it as a natural courSe that there be few black priests, Brothers or Sisters, that black parishes always depend on charity for survival, that we always have to be recipients instead of givers, then we ourselves will be the cause of Catholicism's demise among . our people (l ~, (l "We are not striving to become the new missionaries, but to make a reality the meaning of ChristiaJ). community in America.

The action is, believed the first time an American community has asked a court to take control of its finances. American provincial Father Edward DeBruin, S.O.S., affirmed that "this action does not in any way jeopardize the continued existence or the Sa!vatorians as a Religious group of men in the Catholic Church."

SAN ANTONIO (NC) - Lutherans' from across the U. S. met here to dicsuss ecumenism, theology and social issues' at the fifth general convention of the 2.6 million-member American Lutheran Church. Guest speaker Dr. Robert Marshall, president of the Lutheran Church in America, told the 1,000 delegates that a small group of Catholic theologians :-had concluded "that there is solid' ground for the Roman ,Catholic Church to recognize ,the validity of ,the Lutneran ministry."
"Why have you acquiesced," said the questioner, "to the decision to supress the dreary data uncovered in your study of the priesthood?" Even granting that the hatecharged questions on the' Catholic lecture circuit have grown worse in,the pastfew years, this one was still a going to be a lot more sodal rein, American Catholicism real winner.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Black citizens' of racially troubled Cairo, -Ill.. have asked the Federal 'Commission Communications here not to renew the license of the town's only radio station.. The militant Black United Front; an organization including in its membership all the Negro ' organizations and churches in Cairo. filed the petition against radio station WKRO, charging that the station~s pro.gramming and employment practices are unfair to the bla'ck community. WKRO's license is up for renewal Dec. 1. About half, of . Cairo's 6.500 population'is black. United Front petitioners, characterize ,the .situation in Cairo. once an, Underground Railroad stop for escaping slaves. as a virtual civil war between black and white citizens. They accuse station WKRO of violating the FCC fairness doctrine requiring a licensee to present both sides of a controversial public issue and allow ,air-time response to personal attacks. The petitioners allege WKRO accused the United Front of set-ting a fire which burned down , tne Veterans of Foreign, Wars , building Oct. 21 and.refused to allow officers of, the Front airtime to refute the charge'. The black organization also accused the station of claiming on te air that the United Front engages in "arson and sniping." without allowing rebuttal time. and of failing to c~nsult the black community to d'etermine its programmnig needs. Another United Front, charge ,is that WKRO refuses' to,' employ blacks in technical,' programming a~d managerial posts. "WKRO has a staff of - 22 people." the petition states. "Only one of these employes is black. Predictably. he is the janitor."

lems and the people who must cope with them. In one a noble man finds himself trapped by the havoc of a revolution and caught between conflicting forces; in the other, two young lovers stand between hating families and, at the end, tragically take their own lives. Would you feel strange or un-comfortable if clips from either film formed part of the 'homily for a Sunday Eucharist? Would you object to a short sixtysecond or five-minute film which developed the message of that -day's scriptural passages? I am sure at least some of my readers would find a movie out .of place d4ring Mass. Yet seminary instructors often encourage students to use current events and classical literature as a starting point for the sermon. If we may quote Shakespeare or a Russian novelist in our remarks, then why not show a section from "Dr. Zhivago?" The opening scene, in which Zhivago's mother is burled, .communicates through many senses the' reality of death. Quick Spiritual· Aids The friars at' the Franciscan Comm~nications Center (1229 South Santee Street, Los Angeles, California 90015) and their large, very professional, very competent staff obviously believe that in a world accustomed to audio-visual entertainment and education we ought to employ all those media, especially the film, in worship. From their new, well-equipped building they have produced- the familiar AudioSPOTS and TeleSPOTS, praised' by Time as "quick spiritual aids," and TeleKETICS, a series of ten-minute religious formation films. The basic idea behind all these Franciscan efforts could be summed up in this phrase: "Look for the Signs of Love in your Life." It is the producers', belief that we can best understand our relationship to God in the light of encounters with others. They attempt, therefore, to convey various life situations confronting a Christian today. Advent Liturgy "Prepare the Way," a multiple visual package for Advent '70, represents the Communications Center's latest release.
