GENEVIEVE PLANfE

Housi1ng thlEt hom,eless MANVILLE, R.I. '(NC) - A goat grazing in a French field more than 40 years ago symbolizes survival to Genevieve Plante.

Mrs. Plante, then 14, was fleeing from France with a handful of neighbors as German troops entered the country in World War II. The goat proved to be the only source of milk for a baby in the group.

Today, Mrs. Plante is a symbol of survival to modem-day refugees - Vietnamese and Laotians - in her home in Manville. And to this day she raises goats in her backyard.

Mrs. Plante's escap1e story had a happy ending. Although German soldiers blocked her wagon and ordered her group to return to their French village, Mrs. Plante was unharmed. She later married an American soldier and left France safely.

But she never forgot the terror of fleeing from her country and she is proud to have housed seven Asian families since deciding to open up her home to the refugees two years ago.

"I said to myself, 'I have no money, but I have room and I live alone. What can I do?" she said. Mrs. Plante, a cook at Brown University in Providence, R.I., is divorced. Her five children are grown and away from home.

"I like people. Why should I stay alone?" she said.

She called the U.S. Catholic Conference and was referred to Fr!iends of Refugee FamiTurn to Page Two

NEWARK, N.J. (NC) - "St. Augustine's not really a church that is closed in anymore, just waiting for people to come to us. We are reaching out to them," said Father Isaia Birolla, pastor of the parish which four of Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity have made their home base.

Since last June, when Mother Teresa came to Newark at the invitation of Archbishop Peter L. Gerety to establish a foundation, the Missionaries of Charity have lived in the previously disused parish convent in one of the poorest areas of the city.

Through their loving works of charity they have sent Christ's message far beyond the boundaries of the church or convent.

On their arrival the nuns immediately had the bingo sign in front of the church hall taken down. They converted the hall into a soup kitchen, which in the last few months has drawn 200 people for hot meals each day.

They have taken the church outside its walls by going to the sick and elderly in their homes and regularly visiting a detention center for teenage boys.

"What the sisters are doing is reaching people and showing a real concern and Christian charity," said Father Birollo.

In early September there were about 80 regular guests at the soup kitchen tables, said Mother Premlata, one of the four nuns who Turn to Page Two

Feedi,ng the friendless PHOENIX,. Ariz. (NC) - Kent Allen, who six years ago was sleeping on the ground in Phoenix parks, recently donated food from the two restaurants he now owns as a repayment to the St. Vincent de Paul Charity Dining Room for treating him "like a human bei~g" when he was down and out.

Allen never forgot how the St. Vincent de Paul Society had been a Good Samaritan to him. So last month he repaid what he considered his debt to the society.

He and his crew of employees served some 1,500 meals at the dining room, which has been feeding the poor in Phoenix every day for nearly 30 years.

It is run by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, a group of Catholic laymen devoted to personal service of the poor. Over the years it has served more than 8.7 million dinners, some of which kept Allen alive in 1975.

Allen's days of starVation began when a motorcycle accident left his right leg crushed and he lost his job as a truck driver. Unable to support his family, he eventually lost his wife and children.

But Allen was determined to survive. "I had handled my own life in the past," he said.

"I was determined to come through and make a success of things."

Bishops de,fend

life WASHINGTON - Life-related issues of abortion, health care, nuclear weapons, and violence and justice in Central America took center stage last week at the annual meeting of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington.

Despite early disagreement, the bishops backed the Hatch Amendment, a proposed cons'titutional amendment on abortion, and approved a statement on Central America which criticizes U.S. policy.

And the bishops' concern for what one termed life from "womb to tomb" was reflected in their discussions of war and peace, in approval for a pastoral on health care - which calls for national health insurance and in Archbishop John Roach's NCCB presidential address urging church commitment to the poor as well as to pro-life positions on abortion and nuclear arms.

In elections the bishops named Archbishop Edmund C. Szoka of Detroit as NCCB treasurer.

In board and committee elections, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin was elected to the board of Catholic Relief Services. Others on

run the project. But as welfare funds dwindle, she said, the crowd has grown.

A passage from the Bible is read before each meal and "then we recite the Our Father together," said Mother Premlata. Most of the guests are not Catholic, but all are equally welcome.

She pointed out happily to a man who was serving food. She said he had come for a meal ftte first day the soup kitchen opened and has been there every day since as a helper. More importantly, she added, he had returned to practicing his faith.

"I got the blessing the first day," agreed Vincent Caines of Newark. "I was born and raised Catholic, but I hadn't been to confession in 17 years."

Although the sisters prepare a meal of meat, fish or eggs, soup and fruit for 200 persons daily, they seek no funds. "We came with our hands empty, but somehow they are always full," Mother Premlata said.

She said they had come to fulfill Mother Teresa's mission to "take care of the poorest of the poor" in whom they see "the sacred heart of Jesus."

Father Birollo remarked that since the Missionaries of Charity arrived at his church he has ~d many "unique experiences." For example, he said, the nuns had caused some persons with "really big problems like alcoholism" to come back to the sacraments with a willingness to start again.

There are plans to tum a fonner school

in the Constitution guarantees the right to an abortion and a statement on Central America both sparked heated debate on the first day of the meeting.

The Hatch amendment issue proved so controversial that a special resolution reiterating NCCB support for it 'was presented to the bishops Nov. 18.

But by then only Bishop Sullivan of Baton Rouge voted "no" on the resolution.

U.S. policy on Central America also proved a divisive topic as

the bishops debated a statement criticizing the United States for addressing Central America in terms of global security instead of the needs of its poor. The statement also declares that the United States should support "a political rather than a military solution to the tragic conflict in EI Salvador" and mentions a "pattern of violence designed to silence the voice of the church" in Guatemala, where, it adds, U.S. diplomacy should be "directed toward enhancing the pro-

lies, a Rhode Island organization that sponsors refugees.

Since then the organization has been arranging for Mrs. Plante to receive families and working with her to find the families jobs and permanent homes.

The families, who call her "Mama," have stayed with her froin 10 days to eight months.

She helps secure food stamps, drivers' licenses, English classes and apartments for them.

"I start out by going to town hall, to the welfare department," Mrs. Plante said in her French accent that remains thick after 35 years in the United States. "They all know me now," she laughed.

The families are too proud to stay on welfare, she added, but the checks are essential in their first few months in the United States.

Mrs. Plante said she has heard many sad stories from her families.

"Some of the families are separated, with some of their relatives lin Vietnam," she said.

"When they have smaU children, they sometimes have to leave them behind because they're too little and they're afraid they will die--on the way."

Sometimes husbands and wives are sep-

tection of human rights."

"The policies of our government have a tremendous and significant impact in Central America. We would be negligent if we failed to say something at this time," said Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco, a former NCCB president.

But Cardinal John Carberry said the bishops should "learn the facts" and "make haste slowly."

However, three days later, the bishops approved the statement.

Only about a dozen voted against approval.

In another discussion of war and peace issues, Archbishop Joseph :Bernardin of Cincinnati said a "central issue" is the morality of possessing nuclear arms even as a deterrent.

Chairman of the adhoc committee planning a pastoral on war and peace, he suggested the U.S. bishops have a "special responsibility" to play because of the U.S. role in nuclear weapons development.

He added he is aware of the Soviet Union's contributions to international tension. "If we direct our attention particularly to the United States, it is for the simple reason that we are American citizens and have a right and duty to address our government," he said.

Bishop Edward O'Rourke of Peoria warned that "our unilateral disarmament would lead to a great expansion of Communist domination in the world. This would represent a great step backward in the pursuit of justice and peace in the history of mankind," he said.

arated if one spouse is caught while trying to escape, she added.

"The refugees are very good in the bottom of their hearts," Mrs. Plante said. "You have to live with them to realize this." .

Her children think that in time she will lose some of her fervor for accepting the families into her home, Mrs. Plante said, but she doubts that.

"I learn just as much from them," she said.

"I learn just as much of the life of the other , world as they do from me."

"Somehow, living in the parks," Allen recalled, "I felt totally alienated from everyone."

Allen was down to his last dollar and biscuit when he heard about the Thanksgiving Day dinner planned for the poor at the St. Vincent de Paul Charity Dining Room.

He recalled that "it was a pleasurable experience to be in a clean, well-lit interior facing a hot, well-rounded meal with a chance for seconds and, in addition, a sandwich, pastry and fruit at my place for me to take along.

"I immediately noticed that this was a place where nothing was demanded of me, . even though much was given to me. t' Allen continued to eat at the dil)ing room and his physical strength returned. After a few good meals he was able to find a job as a cook at a Dairy Queen restaurant. Today Allen owns that Dairy Queen and a second one in another part of Phoenix.

'Consecration drops 'men.'

Frank Sheed dies at 84 NEW YORK (NO) - Frank Sheed, author, lecturer, founder of a publishing company and pioneer in the modern Catholic lay apostolate, died Nov. 20 at the age of 84.

A close friend of Anchor reporter Pat McGowan and her family, he frequently visited Fall River.

Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York was the celebrant of his funeral Mass Tuesday at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The author of such books as "Theology and Sanity" and "Society and Sanity," which explained theology in a lucid style, Sheed in 1926 founded with his wife, the late Maisie Ward, the publishing company of Sheed and Ward, which was a major Catholic publishing house for nearly 50 years.

WASHINGTON (NC) -- Bishops received surprise notice Nov. 17 that Pope John Paul II has confirmed their request to omit the word "men" from thE! words of Consecration.

The words of Consecr~\tion in all eucharistic prayers used in the Mass now will read " . . . for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven . . ." instead of ". . . for you and for all men In the midst of discussion on' language in the liturgy during the second day of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) meeting in Washington, Auxiliary Bishop Anthony G. Bosco of Pittsburgh asked about language changes requested at last year's meeting.

By coincidence, NCCB president Archbishop John R. Roach said the conference had just received a letter from the Vatican announcing the change in the Consecration. The Archbishop said the conference had just remented immediately in all U.S. dioceses.

The question of language which refers only to men had been addressed at last year's meeting when the bishops voted a series of changes to delete what was termed "exclusive language."

Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, chairman of the bishops' Committee on Liturgy, said other requests madE: by the U.S. bishops to the Vatican apparently are "still under study."

Other changes were proposed to "try to touch up the theology" of certain liturgical passages, Archbishop Weakland had said at the 1980 meeting.

At least year's meeting the archbishop said the change in the Consecration "is the most serious of all those pres 1mted. It causes distress on the part of so many women and men around the country. It's so symbolic of many larger concerns," ICEL had noted that "though the words 'man' or 'mlln' have a traditional generic usage, many people have come to experience them as referring primarily or exclusively to males and so as including women only in a secondary way . . . or as omitting them altogether," At a press conferenCE! following announcement of thl~ change Archbishop Weakland said, "I am grateful to Pope John Paul for granting this."

The archbishop also noted the timing of the announcement, made as he was steppi:ng down as chairman of the liturgy committee. "It's kind of nice to be sent off,"

Appointments.

Pope John Paul II has established a new diocese, of Metuchen, N.J., and named Auxiliary Bishop Theodore McCarrick of New York to head it. The pope also appointed Msgr. Thomas O'Brien, a Phoenix pastor, to be bishop of the Phoenix Diocese replacing the late Bishop James Rausch.

a Presbyterian father in Sydney, Australia, on March 20, 1897, Sheed attended public schools before going to Sydney University to study law. Midway through law studies, he went to England "for a year," later returning to complete work for his law degree, then taking up permanent residence in England.

Working with the Catholic Evidence Guild, he met Maisie Ward, whom he married in 1926.

They had two children, Wilfrid, a novelist and critic, and a daughter, Rosemary, a translator.

the living word

themoorin~ Once More With Thanks Despite the recession, high interest rates, unemployment and the multitude of other woes that afflict us, the celebration of Thanksgiving as a national holiday is an important moment in our lives as Americans.

First and foremost, it helps us realize that it is not by bread alone that man lives. Bread helps but of itself it has no soul. And that is indeed the problem today. The hard times that are accompanying budget restraints on all levels of life are fundamentally due to our selfish assumption that the well would never run dry.

For too long too many have depended on big brother to give them not only the necessities of life but also the luxuries of our capitalistic abundance. In every area of our living there was some agency that could be worked for a handout. Such indulgence fostered a corresponding decadence of spirit and soul.

The decline of public morality, the increase of crime, the corruption of government and the avoidance of religion are but a few of the fallouts from the gimme mentality.

Many Americans center their entire life style around what they can eat, drive, drink or buy. So occupied are they with the pursuit of the so-called good life that many have abandoned or never known the God life.

It is well then that somehow and in some fashion Americans begin to thank the Almighty for all that we have in our lives. One does not see too many Americans fleeing this land for another country. Cubans, Haitians, Central Americans, Colombians and many other peoples yet pour into the United States each day. Modern pilgrims, they seek the same freedoms and rights as did those who journeyed on the Mayflower.

Like many before them, once here they may suffer injustice. bigotry and exploitation. Yet, despite trials and difficulties, they stay in America. They are thankful in a very special way not only for living in this country but also for sharing, even in a limited way, in its bounty.

These new immigrants can revive in all of us a true spirit of thanksgiving. The vast majority are God loving and family oriented. Nourishment of these attitudes can help all Americans to regain a sense of true priorities.

As a nation, we have spent so much time in courts and the Congress trying to remove God from our schools and civic institutions. We have allowed government to take God's place in deciding who shall live and who shall die.

As we teeter on the verge of nuclear self-destruction, we are even tempting God's ultimate wrath. All of nature trembles as we contirwe destroying the very environment on which we depend for survival.

As for family life, we have all but given up on an institution once the very heart of the nation.

Not only do we use things but we use each other.

In a throwaway society, people and relationships have become quite disposable. Because of our neglect of God and family, we have indeed placed ourselves in greater danger than that posed by any material recession.

We who want to keep alive the God-centered spirit of Thanksgiving should try to realize that the Pilgrim story is not over and done with. Rather, its spirit is alive today among those newly arrived to these shores. The language and faces may differ but the spirit of gratitude is the same.

'The Lord now will grant us his blessing, to make our land yield its harvest.'

Ps. 84:13

Time for the co-redemptrix

By Thomas P. McDonnell Roman Catholics have not had a very pleasant time of it in the postconciliar period - that is to say, as far as one mayor may not feel pleased or even proud to be a Catholic in the first place. The reason for this, as they say in pedagogical circles, is twofold: To begin with, we all ought to know by now that media reports on matters concern路 ing the Catholic church are almost always erroneous in substance and peripheral in treatment, largely because so woefully unresearched (do any of the big dailies or TV stations have the New Catholic Encyclopedia in their Ebraries?); and, secondly, there is all that criticism from within the church itself, a criticism which tends to be elitist, shortsighted, and destructive. Sans love, sans regard, sans due respect for the magisterium.

So, compared with such halcyon decades as those which produced our Chestertons and Bellocs and Jacques Maritains, there hasn't been much to cheer about; and yet I Vlant to venture to say that it is always a good time 'to be a Roman Catholic and therefore central to the major activity and contemplative resources of the Christian world community. After all, in our own time, we've had Teilhard, Merton, Dorothy Day, and still have Mother Teresa. It is a good time .to be a Roman Catholic, I think, because we continue to share through historical time itself pre-

cisely those beliefs and extensions of belief which make our theology distinctive and indeed unique in an uncertain world.

All the same, I'd not want to go on with the bother of being Catholic, and it can be something of a bother at times, if the Eucharistic presence and central sacrament of the Church were not the profound reality we necessarily take it to be.

I'd not want to go on with the bother of being Catholic, if the other sacraments and teachings of the Churc:h were not available to me in ull the life-renewing force of their reason and revelation.

I'd not want to go on with the bother of being a Catholic Christian, finally, if the feminine principle of Mary the Mother of Jesus were in any way absent from, or diminished within, the wholeness (which also means holiness) of the church itself.

I'd not want to go on with the bother of being Catholic, if all these thing:; - and more were not part and parcel of my mind and soul and which, even now, and is some way I do not wholly und(!rstand, nevertheless remain as if finely attuned to the very music of creation itself and set to the curiously erratic rhythms of one's own nervous system - like the cumulative liturgies, perhaps, of many a year still gathering love toward the end.

It was not ever thus, I'm afraid, sinc'e the struggle for faith in our youth is often a bitterone indeed, one which we

hardly dare confess to' ourselves in later years; and yet, when other doubts have long assailed us, the tenderness we have always felt for the Blessed Virgin Mary stays with us still.

I don't mean this as something sentimental merely, for a true love of Mary cannot be spiritually understood aside from the intuitive knowledge we must have of her as a kind of connective tissue and total affirmation subsumed in the unity and redemptive power of Jesus Christ. Mary is like the tensile strength that keeps our faith from snapping under the tension of the world's enormous polarities.

In any case, I think it is time that we Catholic Christians bring back the Co-Redemptrix. I say this, of course, while also realizing that the doctrine of Mary's share in the economy of remption has never left us entirely or even partially, for that matter, either by way of casual attrition or outright disuse; but the richness and depth of this teaching has remained almost dormant since the Second Vatican Council, which, at that particular time, became very sensitive (that is, in the minds of the conciliar Fathers themselves) to the difficulties that the term Co-Redemptrix presented to our Protestant friends as offical ob~ervers and Vatican-watchers in general.

There is every re(lson to believe that Mary is now coming into her own, so to speak, in a way that will be made clear to all of us.

The way to go "We save up all year for the Family Retreat and it's the best deal for our money anywhere," a young dad told me as he left our annual family retreat last fall.

I agree. I rarely laugh as hard as I did at the young; teens' talent show skit on Adam and Eve being put out of T:~e Garden for throwing apples at one another and going back to the city "to raise a little Cain as soon as they were Able." Or reflected so seriously with 18 couples on how to pass on good morals and faith in a bewildering climate. Or experiE:nced a family liturgy as simple and moving as the one designed by three volunteer couples who hald never done so before.

"A family retreat?" others exclaimed when I told them where we were spending the three-day weekend. "Ugh," But they're dead wrong when they judge before they experience.

Wander with me, if you will, through the weekend. Take a El Pomar beautiful spot (meaning apple orchard) Renewal Center at the base of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. The scene of usually more sedate gatherings, this Center, run by the Sisters of Charity of Cincin-

nati, becomes a mecca for families one or two weekends a year.

There's an elegant old mansion with an oak library with actual moving bookcases that reveal hidden passageways - right out of a Gothic novel, which the kids love.

Add acres of gardens and shrubbery disclosing stations of the cross, statues and hiding places for nightly kick the can games, plus a lake, a swimming pool and an assortment of grottos, patios, and other surprises.

To this, add a balance of learning, fun and spirituality designed to produce families with a desire to share the Good News with each other and others like themselves.

We start at 10 a.m. Saturday with opening prayer and instructions. Then we intersperse nine hours of peer learning with six of shared family activities fostering communication and spirituality. The remainder of the weekend is devoted to leisure and sharing.

We invite skilled religious educators to direct the learning in peer groups. This year we had three older teens who opted to learn with the parents, eight younger teens, 15 and 16, twelve junior highers, eleven 4-6 graders, ten 1-3 graders, and eight

The d.'unce stat,e?

"California now filnds it- ing "national dunce caps," A Washington Post article self in the uncomforable tells about one student who got position of wearing a na- • into a heated argument with his tional dunce cap," says Ann father, a high school principal,

Leavenworth, president of the California Board of Educ:ation.

Ms. Leavenworth was commenting on the sharp drop in test scores recorded recently by California's high school students who also seem to be falling into poor academic habits. Some educators are blaming this sorry state of affairs, at least in part, on the 1978 passage of Proposition 13, which imposed spending limits on schools.

In the last six yeal~s, California has slipped from 12th place to 49th in percentage of personal income spent on public' schools. At the same time, reading and language scores for high school seniors in California have dropped alarmingly.

Apparently, the budget cuts have affected the quality of instruction by increasing class size, reducing pay raises and leaving the best teachers with a feeling of "being battered and tired" according to one educator. ' As California goes, so will the other states, I fear. ThE! end result may well be that students will lose their interest in studies.

Students in high schools will become accustomed to poor training and poor education.

School can be hard work but many students will say, "Why bother taking it seriously if state officials fail to consider it important?" Perhaps, then, to carry Ms. Leavenworth's phrase one step further, the nation's students will find themselves in the uncomfortable position of wear-

The two high points of the program are the Sunday family liturgy designed by the families themselves and the Sunday evening talent show, which is worth the price of the weekend.

When I look at the weekend in retrospect, it tells me that this is the way to go with families today. We live in an ad hoc culture - one in which it is increasingly dificult to get parents out for a six or eight week course on faith, parenting or anything else.

In a pure time sense, it's the equivalent of 15 weeks of CCD or adult classes. Add to that the bonus of being able to share what families learn in the relaxed yet structured climate and the charge they get for increased family faith on their return home, and it's easy to understand why that dad said it was "such a deal."

Fenwicl~

for the Senate?

Rep. Millicent Fenwick, R-N.J., is, she says, "wait· ing for a sign."

Almost anything would

do to push her into a race for the Senate, for the seat on which Harrison Williams is precariously perched'.

"I went to my doctor," she says, "thinking he could put an end to aU this. But he says I can do anything I want for the next 20 years - which was no help at aU," Ms. Fenwick is 71 years old and she wears a pacemaker.

By ordinary standards, a heart patient in her golden years would not seem the ideal candidate for a grueling statewide contest in a crowded field.

But she is not ordinary, and neither is her state.

The Democrats have the case of Sen. Williams who was convicted of taking bribes in the Abscam case, and who is fighting expulsion from the Senate.

The Republicans have just been caught at outrageous' electoral skullduggery, reminiscent of Richard Nixon's dirtiest tricks.

Armed representatives of the By National Ballot Security Task Force, wearing black armbands FATHER and carrying huge "warning" signs, went into central city JOHN B. wards with high black registraSHEERIN, CSP tion for the announced purpose of "protecting challenged voters" - some of whom they succeeded in scaring away from course work during his senior the polls.

Republican National Comyear. The student wanted to take a difficult English course plus mittee Chairman Richard Richthree breeze courses that de- ards went on the offensive about the offense. Without the "ballot manded little or no work.

The father wanted him to take security" forces, he said, "The Democrats would have stolen a fourth year of mathematics but the election." the son didn't see any point to it.

Ms. Fenwick's reaction to the Eventually, but too late the son realized the "grading in high episode in no way reflected the schools was unbelievably easy" official line: "That was a damn and that there never seemed to fool thing to do," she fumed.

It's that predilection for speakbe any homework. At age 22 the son is still two years from col- ing her mind that makes her special in her party - and also lege graduation.

There is a trend today toward in the House, where she is the allowing the child to "do his own undisputed grande dame.

That and a couple of other thing," When followed to a things: Her elegant appearance reasonable degree in education, this is a good thing, it seems to - she was once a Vogue model and is still a clotheshorse me.

But the question is: How are her corncob pipe, her real pearls, decisions about course work go- her outspokenness (she called her colleagues "pickpockets" for ing to be made? Are parents and educators going to make 'de- accepting a back-door pay raise) cisions entirely on the strength and her great wealth - she is of the child's present interests worth $5 million.

In her five years in the House, and needs and hopes for the fushe effortlessly became what ture? Would this be wise?

These are tough questions but the others in the pack long to they are looming up now as the be, a celebrity. She has been on most important questions of our "60 Minutes." She is a charactime since they relate to the edu- ter in "Doonesbury," where she is known as "Lacey Davenport," cation of children.

As the false economizing in a genteel, charming aristocrat California indicates, I think we who is stricken over political can safely say Proposition 13 corruption, environmental abuse has been a bust in helping to and human rights violations.

Many have forgiven her her improve the quality of California fam(' and her w('alth. among high-school education.

them Democrats who envy her independence from the grubby poiitical considerations they have to make.

Rep. Barbara Mikulski, the small, combative liberal Democrat from blue-collar Baltimore, who disagrees with her on many matters, unhesitatingly pronounces Fenwick "gutsy and honest," Rep. Michael Barnes (D-Md.) says, "I hate to say it because she's in the wrong party, but I think she would be a dynamite candidate," Some call her a "fraud" because she yearns over the poor and votes for Reagan's harsh economics - and a "fake" because she inveighs against congressional pay raises when she obviously doesn't need the money. And she speaks too much, too soon for some of her colleagues. Andy Maguire, a former Democratic congressman who is getting into the race, says she would not wear well because of her "flakiness."

Polls taken in the governor's race picked up the fact that she leads Jeffrey Bell, a conservative Republican who has already announced his candidacy, by 20 points in statewide approval ratings.

The White House insists that the president, although Bell once worked for him and is closer ideologically, would be neutral - just, as he will be in California, where his daughter is running.

Fenwick agrees with Reagan on spending cuts, but differs on foreign policy and social issues and isn't so sure about White House good will. Independent efforts to make her human rights director at State or ambassador to Italy - Italian is one of the three foreign languages she speaks fluently came to naught.

While she is waiting for the sign, Ms. Fenwick agonizes. ironically, over money. A vociferous defender of campaign reform, she has vowed never to accept PAC funds, because, she says, "How is the public to know if a congressman votes the PAC way because he believes it or because he was bought?"

She could use her own money but it wil\ take at least $700,000 for the primary, and she frets over her obligations to her II grandchildren.

She admits to ambition.

"Yes, it's there," she said the other day. "I think it would be rather grand to be in the Senate."

New Jersey could use a little image-burnishing right now. If they want a high-minded, pipesmoking, opinionated lady with beautiful cheekbones and unlimited candor to do the job, it's obvious she wants to apply.

Four deaths remembered

Info Order threat to freedom NEW YORK (NC) - Efforts to institute a "New World Information Order" and to exercise financial censorship over broadcasting threaten the freedom of communications in the 1980s, a senior CBS executive told Catholic broadcasters and communicators.

Thomas Leahy, a Catholic layman who is senior broadcast vice-president of the CBS broadcast group, addressed some 240 participants at the 10th annual assembly of Unda-USA, a Catholic broadcasters' organization meeting in New York City.

The conference theme was "Taking a Stand: Strategies for the Decade." Paulist Father John Geaney, Unda president, called on members to stand with people in the telecommunications industry doing creative work, stand against those using the media for evil and stand as a link between the industry and audiences.

AMONG MEMBERS of the Bishop's Ball planning committee from the Somerset and Swansea areas of the diocese are, from left, Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Armstrong, Mrs. Vincent A. Coady, Father Daniel L. Freitas and Mrs. Manuel Nogueira. Ball highlights will include a presentation c.eremony at which 37 young women will be presented to Bishop Daniel A: Cronin. They will represent 36 parishes and the Nazareth HaH Vocational Center, one of the beneficiaries of ball proceeds.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) is organizing a national day of remembrance on Wednesday, Dec. 2, the first anniversary of the deaths in El Salvador of three U.S. nuns and a laywoman missionary.

The bodies of the four mission~ aries - MaryknolI Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clark, Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel and lay volunteer Jean Donovan - were found last Dec. 4 in a shallow roadside grave. Six Salvadoran servicemen were arrested last May in connection with the killings but have not been brought . to trial.

An announcement by LCWR, the official organization of major superiors of Catholic nuns in the United States, said that on Dec. 2 "women Religious across the nation will join other groups of concerned people in public witness against the Reagan administration's escalation of the nuclear arms race and against U.S. policy that continues to support the repressive government in EI Salvador."

Archdiocese sells nuclear stocks SATILE (NC) - Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen of Seattle has directed the archdiocesan Office of Business and Fin. ance to sell stocks of companies involved in the development and production of nuclear arms.

Although these investments comprise less than one percent of total archdiocesan ~invest­ ments, "even this level is unacceptable," Archbishop Hunthausen said in a statement.

In a speech last June to a Lutheran convention, Archbishop Hunthausen denounced the nuclear arms race, calIed for unilateral U.S. nuclear disamament and suggested that Christians refuse to pay 50 percent of their federal income taxes as nonviolent resistance "to nuclear murder and suicide."

Since then 16 leaders of nine denominations in Washington state have backed his stand.

Chor-Bishop Eid to be honored The FalI River Housing Authority has voted to name a 54unit housing project after the late Chor-Bishop Joseph Eid. The Maronite rite prelate had been pastor of St. Anthony of the Desert parish in Fall River for 40 years at the time of his death in 1970.

A highway median strip in front of the parish plant on Eastern Avenue in Fall River is also named in his honor.

The new housing project is slated for completion next February.

What to do abo,ut bullie:s

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Dear Dr. Kenny: My lO-yearold son is constantly picked on by his classmates and even by younger children. The other children call him names like "stupid" and "weirdo." They also push him around and play mean jokes on l'lim, like squashing his lunch bag. My husband and I are brokenhearted. He is our only child. We have talked to the school and complained to other parents, but to no avail.

The abuse goes on. Please give us some suggestions about how to stop this before our son is destroyed. Shall we move?

I can understand your worry.

It is hard to stand by and watch your son abused. You have tried to stop it without success. Now what can you do?

First, I would. stop complaining to the parents of other children and to the school. That might be appropriate if only one or two bullies were involved.

However, the harassing seems to follow a larger pattern. Continued complaining on your part may single your son out for special adult protection which in turn may lead to further teasing by his age-mates. If the adults try to forbid it, the teas-

ing may become more hidden and subtle.

At the same time, do not try to isolate your son from his classmates. As an only child, he needs to learn social skills for getting along with persons his own age.

Finally, do not move, at least not yet. You may be able to help your son reverse this pattern.

The best. approach would be to try to find out what he does that elicits the abuse. Often there is a psychology of the victim.

Chronic vi<ctims behave in a way that draws. fire.

To say that the victim often evokes his own abuse is not to say that the victim is to blame.

Bullying is always reprehensible.

The most important action for you, however, is not to yell at bullies, but to stop the abusive behavior. The best way to do that is to help your son change his behavior. He, not you, must learn how to avoid the weakness.

A 6-year-old came home beaten up. "It's those big kids down the block," he cried. Since this was the child's third such experience, his father decided to follow him on his next excur-

sion. Riding his shiny new bike, the child proceeded down past the big kids and began to chant, "Nyah, nyah, see what I've got."

Needless to say, the big kids began to chase him.

The father could have intervened by stopping the big kids and telling them to let his son alone. However, he felt it was much more important to teach his son a few obvious alternative behaviors; either stay away from big kids by going the other way or don't bring your new bike. In any case, don't say, "Nyah, nyah . . . ..

Your son's behavior probably follows one of two common patterns. Either your son acts in a manner that suggests he is better than others, as did the boy in the preceding erample, or he expresses weakness and vulnerability. In either case, parents and teacher can help the victim learn ways to avoid the abuse.

When a child is picked on by most of his peers, it is wise to examine what the child does to invite the attacks.

Vatican funds not under Italian law Where The Entire Family Can Dine.

ROME (NC) The Rome prosecutor's office decided in a recent case that funds deposited in the Vatican bank are not subject to Italy's currency laws.

The case may have a bearing on an investigation of financial practices of the Vatican bank and Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity.

In mid-November the office decided not to prosecute a woman for leaving Italy with $6,000 in German and Swiss money.

Italy's currency law, intended to prop a sagging economy, pro.vides that sums the equivalent

of more than $4,500 cannot be removed from the country The woman, whose husband works at t.he Vatican, was taking the money to Switzerland to pay for surgery. The prosecutor's office accepted her argument that the money was exempt because it had been deposited in Vatican City State, not in Italy.

Recently press reports in Italy carried notice of the year-long investigation of the Vatican bank for its practices involving Mother Teresa's order and several other charitable ,agencies.

Under current law, if a substantial donation were made to Mother Teresa through an italian bank, that money could not be removed from Italy even if the intent of the donor were to contribute to work in India, according to a source at the Vatican bank.

The Vatican bank, added the source, operates independently of Italy's financial laws by virtue of the Lateran Treaty of 1929.

It was established by Pope Pius XII in 1942 to maintain and lend funds for religious works.

Owes life to Father I{olhe VENICE, Italy (NC) ,- The man who escaped death at the Auschwitz concentration camp because Blessed Maximilian Kolbe offered to die in his place recently told his story here.

Franciszek Gajowniczek, who lives near Wroclaw, Poland, spoke at the Kolbe Cultural Center in Venice during ceremonies marking the 40th anniversary of the Polish priest's death and the 10th anniversary of his beatification.

"On the day when he offered to die in my place, we exchanged only a glance," said the nO-yearold Gajowniczek.

"In the beginning, I couldn't believe that I had been spared, then for some time I was tormented by remorse, but finally I understood that I had t.:) carry out my duty, that of testifying to his martyrdom," he added.

Father Kolbe, a Conventual Franciscan, and Gajowniczek were prisoners in block 14 of the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz in early August 1941 when another prisoner escaped from the camp. After an unsuccessful search for the escapee the camp commandant choose 10 men to die in retribution.

"I was among the 10 chosen," Gajowniczek said. "Befo;,e leaving my place I remembl~r murmuring, "I'm sorry only to leave

my wife and children.' " "A few moments later Father Kolbe, in line with the other prisoners of block 14, came toward the commandant and said to him: 'I would like to go in place of one of these 10 who has a wife and children. I am alone, I am a Catholic priest,''' Gajowniczek added.

He said Father Kolbe had been imprisoned at Auschwitz for more than two months, but the two were not well acquainted.

"We knew each other, or better to say I recognized him," he said. "He was present in my block as a Catholic priest and I, who had received at home before the war the publications of the Marian Society founded by him, knew who he was."

Blessed Maximilian Kolbe died Aug. 14, 1941, after two weeks of imprisonment in the "starvation bunker" at Auschwitz.

He was beatified in 1971.

"During the two months he spent with us, Father Kolbe comforted us with prayer and confession," Gajowniczek said. "He worked like the others, more than the others, and he accepted the sufferings that were inflicted on him and the most burdensome tasks that were reserved for him just because he was a priest."

Secular Franciscans elect GRAYMOOR, N.Y. (NC) Therese M. Devlin, Yonkers, N.Y., was elected president of the National Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order during its annual meeting, held in Graymoor.

Dr. James M. Ambury, Arlington, V~., was re-elected vicepresident, Joseph Cincotta, Los Angeles, was also elected a vice president.

Mrs. Mary R. Teoli, Wilming-

ton, Del., was elected secretary.

Formerly known as the Third Order, the Secular Franciscan Order traces its origins to St. Francis of Assisi, who founded the Franciscans in the 13th century. There are more than 55,000 Secular members in the United States.

"Private colleges and universities often have the greatest single economic impact in their immediate area," declares Curt Norris, director of public affairs at Stonehill College, North Easton.

Stonehill's impact, he says, amounts to over $36 million on surrounding communities.

His statements are buttressed by an economic report, believed the first such made by a college.

Copies of it have been requested by over 300 other academic institution's wishing to make similar studies.

The report shows that Stonehill, established in 1948 by the

Holy Cross Fathers, has an annual budget of about $13 million, 92 percent of which is "expended directly into the economy of southeastern Massachusetts. Its major components are for salaries, maintenance, supplies, interest, services and utilities."

Nearly all the college's 330 employees are area residents and as a matter of policy it makes purchases locally whenever possible.

Additionally, capital improvements expenditures average $710,000 annually.

Students spend some $1,540, 000 10calIy each year for recreation and personal needs and an-

other $200,000 is spent for student activities not covered in the college buc:get.

These amounts total $14,410, 000 direct annual expenditures.

But the report points out that economists state "monies introduced into a given area circulate from 2.5 to 4.5 times before leaving the area."

Payroll money, for instance, is spent locally for food, clothing, car upkeep and other general purposes, as well as for mortgages, insurance and city and town taxes.

The $36 million Stonehill figure is reached by use of 2.5, the most conservative multiplier.

THANKSGIVING brings us back to the roots of our lives.

We pause to remember that all gifts come :from the God of life.

I chose this song because it speaks well of the active part of saying thank you. Our gratitude should motivate us to be active responders to a world that needs mucb.

God's question expressed in this song is just as pressing this Thanksgiving as at any other time in history. "Who will bear my light to them, whom shall I send?"

We should be neither naive nor pessimistic if we choose to answer this call. Today's Catbolic is called to challenges never before faced in the history of our church. To be Catholic requires courage, reflectiveness, and a strong belief in one's own abilities as co-creator of the future world with the powerful God of light.

This Thanksgiving, think about what you have been given.

Perhaps your most meaningful thank you can be to answer: "Here I am, Lord. I will go, Lord.

I will hold your people in my heart."

Wants no football RICHMOND, Va. (NC) Bishop Walter F. Sullivan of Richmond called for an end to Catholic-sponsored grade and high school football in his diocese after an eighth-grader on a parish team died in a game. Calling football "violence under the guise of fun and games," the bishop said it is too dangerous for adolescents and that it fosters unhealthy attitudes as well.

"The constant threat of serious injury and even death far outweighs any justification for such games under Catholic auspices," the bishop wrote in his weekly column in the Richmond diocesan newspaper, The Catholic Virginian.
