Four States Aid Schools Illinois Expects Funds

Detroit Facing Crisis DETROIT (NC) - More than dollars and cents decide which parish schools in the Detroit archdiocese will be closed, consolidated, or left untouched when requested reports are presented on Jan. 31.

John Cardinal Dearden has asked for the reports from 132 parishes whose financial status is considered critical.

The 132 parishes whose parochial and inter-parish schools enroll 65,000 students completed the last fiscal year with either an operational deficit or a surplus of less than $15,000.

But archdiocesan officials say personnel and academic. criteria will be considered 'along with finances before a school or parish will be altered, The overall ratio of Religious to lay teachers in the Detroit archdiocese is 48 per cent to 52 per cent. Even a small upset in this !ratio could mean disaster for some schools, according to Father Joseph ~. Blinstrub, director of an independent archdiocsean educational study committee.

He cited St. Anthony's West school which has no lay teachers. The Sisters of St. Francis staff 'the school .permittIng it to break even financially.

Should one nun be unable to teach and' the order unable to replace her; the' parish, which is unable to afford a substitute teacher's salary, could continue operating only on a deficit budget.

Motherhouses are currently committing nuns to schools for the 1970-71 school year. When Tum to Page Four

Auxiliary Bishop William E. McManus, chairman of the Con· ference's schools department and chairman of the nattonal Bishops' Committee on Education, says the Conference is seeking $32 million in state aid, as recently proposed by Gov. Richard Ogilvie, in the form of purchase by the state of secular educational services.

He has several reasons for his "much more optimistic" view.

Allot Scholarship Funds to Assist Minn. Teachers

ning next Summer, the St. Paul and Minneapolis Archdiocesan Council of Catholic

Women scholarship fund will be used for upgrading teaching ability and qualifications of teachers presently working in archdiocesan schools and churches.

The program marks a significant shift from the present program of providing scholarships to young women studying education at nearby Catholic colleges.

The new program is an at· tempt to meet a presently unfilled need for in-service teacher training according to Mrs. Arthur H. Henderson, scholarship chairman.

The change is also a result of increased scholarship aid to St. Catherine's College from the Archbishops' Appeal and of declining contributions over the past years to the ACCW fund.

Because the new program almost certainly will benefit more schools in the archdiocese, it is hoped that more parishes wiH take part in the new program, Mrs. Henderson said.

VATICAN CITY (NC) The individual and collective efforts of Catholic laymen are greatly needed by the

LONDON (NC) - Congregations at over 7,000 churches of all denominations throughout Britain have been asked to' sign a national petition on behalf of the underdeveloped nations.

The petition which will continue to be circulated for signatures throughout the country during December calls for the British government to increase overseas aid to one per cent of the national wealth by 1972 and for the negotiation of more favorable trading terms for poorer countries. It urges the government to encourage other rich nations to follow suit.

The sign-in, organized by the Christian churches here, will be available to Christians and nonChristians alike. Copies will be available for signing at civic centers in all cities and towns.

The massive petition is the highlight of a special Christmastide campaign, called "The De<:ember Declaration on World Poverty," planned by the Churches Action for World Development, a new group charity for this purpose comprising the British Council of Churches, the Catholic Commission for International Justice and Peace, and the Conference of British Missionary Societfres.

Church these days, Pope Paul VI told pilgrims and tourists gathered in St. Peter's square.

Pope Paul began his remarks , by taking notice of the presence .of various pilgrimages, including that of the Cursillos of Cristiandad, an apostolic movement to develop lay leaders.

The Pope was happy to greet them first and "happy to have them join now in our prayers for the very many needs of the Church, of society and of the CHILDREN'S AIRLIFT TO PREVENT STARVATiON: Announcement of an emergency $9-million world."

Baltimore Seininary Enrol.lment Is Up BALTIMORE (NC)-A drop in seminary enrollment in the archdiocese of Baltimore over the past five years, seems to have "turned around," according to Keith Poole, director of development and public relations at St. Mary's Seminary.

Mr. Poole says there seems to be "basically a turn around. This is the first increas,e in the past few years."

In 1964 the enrollment was 392; in 1965, 372; 1966, 355; 1967, 295; and in 1968, 280.

This year's, enrollment is 313, an increase ,of nearly 12 per cent.

Majority of People Oppose Abortion BOSTON (NC)-The majority of Americans oppose abortion on demand, Catholic nurses were reminded by Msgr. Paul V. Harrington. He warned them not to be "psychologically brain-washed; do not fall victim to the propaganda," he said. Msgr. Harrington also discussed what used either to distract people's away from this central he called the "most funda- attention issue or hopeful1y to enlist sym- ' mental issue in the entire pathetic and emotional support abortion discussion," in an address to the New England Federation of Catholic Nurses' Guilds at the Statler Hilton Hotel here.

"There are many irresponsible statements made and many unwarranted conclusions drawn by those who favor a change in our law," he began.

"There is much dishonesty, deception, intentional clouding of the issue, begging of the question, erroneous and distorted information and emphasis on immaterial and irrelevant matters to the exclusion of a consideration of the central problem by those who propose a liberalization of our laws 'and a legalization of abortion," Msgr. Harrington asserted.

He defined abortion on request or demand as "abortion available to any women for whatever reason or for no reason without any limitation or restriction."

Truth He advised the nurses to be careful, lest they be fooled into being persuaded that there is a large segment, even a great majority, of citizens who favor liberalized abortion laws.

"However, the. real truth is that only a small percentage of our population really favor abortion on request," he stated.

"The prQponents are loud and vOGal.;.. they :make ,a ,lot· ·of noise; 00 0 they control the media of communications. The leadership is very active aQd energetic ~ut ttleY' convince. only a small percentage of the peoples of these United States," Msgr. Harrington said.

To illustrate his point, he referred to a recent Becker Public Opinion Poll, taken in Massachusetts and published in October, 1969. It reports that only 34 per cent of those interviewed were unqualifiedly in favor of making abortion available to a pregnant woman on her request or demand.

Bills During the past four legislative ,years, Msgr. Harrington continued, "bills have been presented to the legislatures of about 40 of our 50 states each year, which, if adopted would have considerably changed our present statutes.

"Despite a well organized and coordinated campaign; 0 oil 0 very substantial financial backing; 0:0 0:0 (lonly 10 states in four years have approved changes in the abortion statutes and these passed only limited, restricted bills-not liberal bills."

"For the most part, these are small Southern and Western states. The prestigious large Industrial states of the North, East and Northeast 0:0 0 (l have resisted the propaganda and have managed to defeat these proposed bills each year."

Issue The most fundamental Issue centers about and concerns the nature of the conceived but unhorn fetus, Msgr. Harrington continued. "Does it possess hu· man life?

"Every other argument or consideration is irrelevant or only of secondary importance and is

"The sponsors of liberal abortion are well aware of the fact that if it is conclusively proved that human life exists from the moment of conception that their cause is lost because of cultured, educated, civilized person could or would favor the termination of Innocent defenseless, unborn life," Msgr. Harrington declared.

Marymount Head Asks Ov-erhaul Of Colleges BOSTON (NC)-The president of Marymount College in Tarrytown says "the time has come for Catholic institutions to throw off some of the intellectual shackles which have bound them to the past."

Speaking at installation cere· mtmies for the new president of Emmanuel College, Sister' Marie Barry, Dr. John J. Meng said Catholic colleges "must cease to be primarily apologetical establishments existing primarily for the purpose of protecting the faith of young Americans."

Calling for an overhaul of ,Catholic colleges, the New York st,ate college~ president asserted: "There is a much broader and significant role to be played by our, colleges in today's world than, any· which, they have filled before."

PERRYVILLE (NC)-Catholics in this central Kentucky town hope to move soon from a skating rink to a bank.

Sounds complicated but it's not. This smalU community never has had a Catholic church. Mass now is celebrated in the American Legion skating rink. But things are changing. An abandoned bank building is now being remodeled by parishioners and soon will become a Catholic church.

Architecture of the sturdy brick bank building makes it a natural for conversion into a , church. It has three small rooms, which will become a classroommeeting room, an office and rest rooms, and a large room which wiln become the main portion of the church. The old bank building was purchased by the Louisville Archdiocesan Mission Pro· moters, a group that helps build churches in Kentucky mission areas.

, UPDATING

One aspect of Vatican Council II that seems still to have to hit home to many people' is its insistence upon personal renewal.

It is ever so much more interesting to talk about changes in structure~ and institutions but the fact remai~s that the essential changes that must take place are 10 people.

I It is easy to talk about and rail against the Church. It is much more to the point to examine and criticize oneself.

One may or ma~ not be right in criticizing the Church, and mayor may not be effective in changing it. But success is guaranteed w~en one takes aim' on himself and his faults and does something-with God's help-about these.

Advent would certainly seem to be a proper time to do just this. i '

Continued from Page One Carney Hospital in this, Massachusetts city.

Over the years, new tests and new treatments have been developed, which are reflected in operational cost, the administrator of the, university-affliated hospital noted.

"The average hospital stay, however, is becoming shorter and shorter as care and treatment methods progress," the Carney nun pointed out.

Talent Costs Money The average hospital dollar received ,can be split into three sections. Professional service (nursing, operating room, pharmacy, laboratory and X-ray) uses 52 per cent; general service (dietary, housekeeping, laundry, administration, etc.) requires 43 per cent and the remaining five per cent is necessary for modernizatinon and replacement.

Providing the best possible health care service to patients requires competing for the best pos~ible talent in the health field, and' as a result, about two-thirds of all Carney's hopsital costs are absorbed in its payrOll. As in any industry, when the payroll is increased because of a cost of living adjustment, the costs of the products or services involved must also increase.

This is applicable to hospitals, too.

WASHINGTON PARK (NC)-A bishop who has served in both EI Salvador and Honduras says commu-

NEW YORK (NC)-A delega-. tion of 14 Roman Catholics are attending the eighth triennial general assembly of the Na· tional Council of Churches in Detroit, as fraternal delegates.

The delegation is headed by Msgr. William W. Baum of the Kansas City-St. Joseph diocese and the first executive director of the U.S. Bishop's Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs.

Fraternal delegates have voice but no vote in the deliberations of the. interdenominational body, which includes 33 Protestant and Orthodox communions. Anum· ber of other Catholics are attending as &ccredited visitors.

Members of the delegation are Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of Charleston, S.C.; Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, general secretary of the U.S. Catholic Conference; Father John F.

Bishop Lawrence M. Graziano, O.F.M., in an interview here in New Jersey said: "The communists want nothing more than a foothold on the mainland.

"They are too isolated for their purposes on the island of Cuba. They have trouble making headway in the large nations of South America. But they see a good chance in the small nations of Central America."

Here's list of Yule Gifts M,ost Unwanted by Men

Women's Council

Lauds Ordinary

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick .

As Christmas approaches, women everywhere are digging deep into the recesses of their minds, trying to think of items which are necessary to and make wonderful gifts for the men on their lists. With this in mind I have taken it upon myself to find out what gifts the men in my a very small token for their but he also leaves the office like least and what goodness, family another piece for our na·· follows is the result of a tivity scene. quick survey conducted by yours truly: High on the list or gifts least likely to be appreciated is shaving lotion. It's used sparingly by most males who shave once a day and a bottle is sufficient to last at least six months. Most of us have received two or three bottles for the past few Christmases and thus our stock is sufficient for the next few years.

Even a bad tie can be worn on an off day but bottles of lotion remain on the shelf gathering duste and diminishing by only a few drops a day.

Another item which is given high priority is the tie pin. After all, ladies, one tie pin is sufficient for most men. It is with some difficulty that most of us learn to handle one comfortably and a surplus usually ends up rattling around in our drawers.

Smoking accoutrements are also tabbed as gifts which end up in a drawer never to be seen again: cigar and cigarette holders, most lighters, pipes and pipe reamers, special ash trays and the like are often appreciated but not used. These are usually the novelties which people buyout of desperation. and which end up being a waste of money.

As for the positive things that vou ,c~n ..buy the men on your iist, unfortunately I came up with no consensus. Personally I like inexpensive gifts, especially from the family, so that I don't have to pay too much for them in January when I get the bills.

In the Kitchen The children in my fourth grade class at school are studyIng how other children all over the world work and play. This is part of their social studies work for this year. Recently we have begun to discuss Christmas customs in other lands and the whole class, myself included, is finding this part fascinating.

Along with acquainting the children with the differences of people all over the world, I'm also hoping it helps them realize how much alike everyone is, especially the children. They especially enjoYed the tale of how the children of the northern countries of Denmark, Sweden and Norway put their shoes in 'front of the fireplace on Dece'mber 6th in the hope that ~ood Saint Nicholas would fill them with wondrous gifts.

Synod Urges Relaxed Mixed Marriage Rule HILDESHEIM (NC) - Opposi· tion to the canonical requirement that mixed marriages involving Catholics be contracted In the presence of a priest was voiced at the Hildesheim diocesan synod here in Germany.

The delegates urged common efforts by Catholics and Protestants to lessen difficulties encountered by couples in mixed marriages and stressed the need for pastoral aid by priests that will avoid occasions for any ~emblance of religious intoler· ance.

9 1969

A resolution commending Bishop Connolly "for his outstanding leadership and his abundant generosity" has been voted by the Fal1 River Diocesan Council' of Women.

Noting the ease of communication with the Ordinary, the Councli has expressed the "hope of his continued leadership in the Fall River Diocese.

The resolution: "We the members of the Fall River Diocesan Council of Catholic Women wish to extend to His Excellency Bishop Connolly, Congratulations on his 75th Birthday and express our gratitude to him for his outstanding leadership and his abundant generosity to all in his Diocese.

"We, the Board, have always found it very easy to communi· cate with His Excellency and wish to express our sincere hope of his continued leadership in the Fall River Diocese."

As we have mentioned before ill the column these pieces are handmade in Italy and cost quite a bit, so it would have been impossible to buy the whole creche at once. Doing the adding this way is easier on the budget and much more meaningful as the new piece arrives just in time to take its place in our manger scene.

Young Asks for New Religious Commitments CHICAGO (NC) - Whitney Young Jr., executive director of the National Urban League, called here for a redirection of commitment on the part of the major religious denomination's of the country.

"The racism that pervades our society and influences the behavior of individuals and insti· tutions alike must· yield to the demand for justice and free· dom," he said. .

Young addressed the conven· tion of the Religious Education Association, an interfaith, interracial educators' organization.

"The situation is urgent," Young said. "I am looking at a body of men and women who have a chance to make history -religious, urban and social.

The country's survival depends on commitment. You have this chance. The choice is yours."

DAYTON (NC) Cincin~ nati's Archbishop raul E. Leibold, said the G:hurch's I educational program l is "the

cutti.ng edge of our ¢ffort to serve the world," in an address here to University of Dayton students. ; Speaking on "The! CathQlic University Serving a rrroubled Society," he said this effort involves "grappling with Inew ills tt.at cry out to be cured-pover. ty, racism, crime, violt1nce, imi morality, drugs."

Such problems can b~ solved "not by new laws and large expenditures, but by men ~hanging the way in which thh view themselves and one another," he said.

The Church cannot "!iccomplish this change of American society alone," the archbishop said, "but we need to I provide the rallying point and guide.lines for this kind of Ipeaceful revolution." . I I 'BIggest Proble~' For the Catholic college or university to accomplish its mission, however, it has ito "face honestly" the problems confronting it, Archbishop Leibold declared, such as finances, ithe role of the religious communi~y which operates the institution, *nd "the area of considerable :mystery which involves the rel~tionship between the Catholic bis~ops and the Catholic college in his diocese."· I But possibly the "biggest problem," he said; is in "establishing just what .is. the, .unique n~ature of this institution with '(];atholic' in' its title." !

"We must first get qver the hurdle that it is a little fortified island where the faith is safely protected for all who ehter, or that it is a special and e~clusive agent of the Catholic Church," hE: said. .

Turning to Vatican Council II for answers, the archbisHop said its decree on Christian I Education stated that the Catholic school pursues cultural goals and' the natural developrttent of youth, but it . also has IdistincI tive purposes.

BasIc Concept I "It aims to' create for the school community an Iatmosphere enlivened by the I gospel spirit of freedom and charity; it aims to help the Catholic 'student in such a way that the ~evelop­ ment of his own personality will be matched by the grorth of ·that new creation he became by Baptism; it strives to relate ail human culture eventually! to the good news .of salvation," he .I said.

"In defining a Catholic luniversity, these conciliar concepts cannot be 'ignored," he d~clared. . Archbishop Leibold reviewed the basic concepts of a Catholic university as outlined la~t year

by Father Theodore He~burgh, C.S.C., president of the Univer: sity of Notre Dame. .Summarizing them, th~ archbishop declared: "In the Oatholic • • I . unIversIty we endeavor, il1 short, to give living, vital witness to the wholeness of truth f~om all so~rces, both human andldivine, while recognizing the inner sacredness of all truth from! what- • ever source, and the validity and autonomy of all paths to: truth.

Pressure Premier on .Langua.ge Issue Charge Bili 63, S'ellout to English QUEBEC (NC) - The Union Nationale government of Quebec province is still under pressure from discontented French-Canadians, although a massive demonstration by students against Premier Jean-Jacques Bertrand's language bill passed without serious incident.

The proposed language' bill in Quebec - which has sparked massive demonstrations, effigy· burnings, threats of bombing En· glish language s4,hools,and fanatic. cries for a un"ilingual Quebec -is developing - into an angry tug-of-war.

On one side, there are those who feel the province's school system should be basically French, with provisions for bilingual schools to serve the English-speaking minority. On the other side, there is a smaller group demanding "French only" for. all Quebec schools.

When the controversial "Bill 63" was first introduced 'in the provincial iegislature, sharp and emotional criticisms erupted from separatist, educational and labor organizations. They claimed the bill was a sellout to "Ies anglais." .PriorIty for French The bill expressed a strong priority for the French language in the province's school system', leaving the door open to those who wish to opt for schools in which English was basically the language of instruction.

An original provision of the legislation was that even though the English could have their own schools, students would be re-

quired to have a good "working knowledge" of French.

Later, Quebec Education Minister Jean-Guy Cardinal said that English-speaking high school students would eventually be obliged to take 40 per cent of their classes in French. The move seemed to be ab!d to queU the strong "French only" outcry which s"wept the province following the introduction of' the bill in the legislature.

Psychological Factors Examining the controversial bill,' LerDroit, Ottawa's French language newspaper, said the government tried to satisfy two diametrically opposed schools of thought on Quebec's language issue. .

"There are those who believe that individual liberties should take precedence over aU other rights," 'Le Droit explained.

Court in Ohio Bans Oscene Movie Film CINCINNATI (NC)-A judge here has labeled the motion picture Vixen obscene and he has granted a permanent injunction against its' exhibition in a local theater..

Comm.on Pleas Court Judge Simon Leis described the film as "patently offensive" to community standards and completely lacking in any "redeeming social value." .

The decision has been lauded

by Charles H.~eating Jr., Cincinnati attorney who is a member of "the Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography and who had personaUy filed the court action to "abate a nuisance."

Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cjncinnati commended Keating for "your successf,ul effort to spare our city from a blatantly immoral show" and declared: "It is not only this single victory-it is the fact that the pur.veyors of filth, knowing that an expert is on the. alert, will be much more cautious of their activity. May God bless you abundantly for your work in the cause of His law and the common good of His children.

"And there are others who believe .~ * >I< the rights of the majority should be secured because its collective existence is in danger."

To satisfy those who emphasize the rights of the individual, the Quebec government insists that the minority of.the province has a right to English language schools. To appf;!ase those who stress. the majority rights, the bill contains a strong psychological factor which stresses French as the primary language of the province.

Le Droit concludes that the Bill cannot' be practically evaluated because of the elusive· ness of the psychological factors of the bill.

OSLO (NC)-Although continuntion of this country's Lutheran state church system was support; ect by delegates at a Lutheran assembly here, they also underscored the need for reform and renewal.

The assembly, a semi-official body within the state church system, is sponsored every four years by the century-old Voluntary Church Council. The 200 participants included bishops and council representatives from 10 dioceses, youths and many lay men and women.

Reform proposals were made in a report prepared by a special reform commission, .formed at the 1965 assembly, suggesting changes within the current state church structure.

Following were some of the proposals favored by the assem· bly: Formation of a new reform commission by the Church that it will seek to implement various short-term reform and examine '''the relation between state and church in the present situation and in the future."

Placement of full-time deacons and catechists in aU parishes and reduction of the size of parishes, some of which now have about 10,000 members.

The two consultations are de· signed to prepare for an eventual dialogue by the Lutheran and Reformed Churches with' the Catholic Church.

Canadian Prelate Cites Success Of Synod

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 4,

Rules Byzantines UlriitedWithRome

OITAWA (NC) - Bishop Alexander Carter of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., president of the Canadian Catholic Conference, said the Synod of Bishops in Rome in October was not only an "extraordinary success" but a "turning point in the life of the Church."

Moreover, it has liberated the Pope from "the prophets of doom who continue to surround - the Holy Father.... he continued.

Bishop Carter gave this evaluation to a steering committee of 41 priests, Sisters and laity from across Canada who met here to start a Canadian pastoral council.

Important as the synod's resolutions were, establishing a permanent synod for the government of the Church, they did not reveal the depth of the spiritual experience felt by the participants, he said.

Surrounded by Love "What mattered was not so much whether a bishop was for - or against collegiality but that all together we were looking for the answer to development in the Church, in a positive, constructive effort."

Bishop Carter said: "I pay Pope Paul the greatest tribute.

He listened with interest and love to very frank speeches. He became caught up. He became more and more enamored of the operation. He relaxed - and a whole new world opened up to him in collegiality."

But all the "prophets of doom," referred to by Pope John XXIII when he opened the first session of Vatican II, have not disilppeare<f from the Vatican, the bishop added. They have. represented the bishops promoting collegiality as "enemies, dangerous characters who would shoot down the primacy with a machine gun." But when the synod started, the Pope saw that he was surrounded by love, not disloyalty, the bishop declared.

Prudent Change "The Pope has now been freed from a chorus of 'tiny rules made by little people in his name, which keep local churches from developing their own normal religous life. All of this is not to diminish the Pope but to secure his authority.

"The Pope can now be a man who is the conscience of our Church, rising above our petty considerations of pride, a man charting the course of the Church of Christ, not a man who says how you must hold your hands when saying Mass," the bishop said.

Bishop Carter referred to his own intervention made at the synod which dealt with this crucial point of helping, not hurting, the Pope-a speech which he had been able to make in the name of the Canadian bishops: "Those who are really convinced of the need to confirm the collegial nature of the Church are actually doing more to preserve the authority of the Pontiff. An authentic primacy is not threatened so much by an attempt to diminish centralization as by an attempt to impose a rigorous, strong control over all.

"In our time a central power which is exercised beyond a reasonable degree could more easily cause fragmentation than a wise and prudent change of the structure by which authority is exercised in the Church, Bishop Carter said.

1969

PITTSBURGH (NC)-St. John Chrysostom Church here is a Uniate church, that is, united with the Apostolic See of Rome, according to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

The final decree of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County had held that the church has always been united spiritually and hierarchically with Rome ever since it was founded in 1910.

The case goes back to April 19M when suit was filed by St. John Chrysostom Greek Catholic Church of Pittsburgh, George Dober and eight others, contending that the church is independent of any ecclesiastical authority.

They accused Bishop Nicholas T. Elko of the Pittsburgh Byzantine Eparchy and Father Andrew Pataki, pastor, of interfering with the management of the church and its property.

Affirmation of the church's union with Rome was decided in the Supreme Court by 6 to 1 vote.

A dissenting opinion was written

by Justice Samuel J. Roberts.

According to the National Vocation Center, 902 men entered seminaries in 1966 and 845 in 1965.

The report recommended that, instead of banning the opening of new Jesuit communities and the existence of the order in the country, the Swiss constitution should confirm freedom of religion, but specify that institutions and communities can be banned if they disturb religious freedom and the public order.

Diocese Manages To' Stay in Black

Nam'e. Stang High, School' Student 'Centennial ~u'een of Football" At, Annual ~tang.Feehan Game

PITTSBURGH (NC) The Pittsburgh diocese finished 'the fiscal year $53,000 in the black, but only by dipping' into reserve funds, the first public financial accounting of the diocese revealed recently.

The Pittsburgh Catholic, diocesan newspaper, said the statement' "indicated the diocese is struggling to keep its head above ' the financial waters, rather than riding the waves comfortably on giltedge investments, as the Church often is depicted as doing today."

The diocesan chancery, which is supported by receipts amounting to four per cent of parish receipts, operated in the black by $203,279. This was off- " set by a $299,400 deficit in operation of district high schools.

Total income of the diocese for the year was listed as $3,431,-

Religion Cours'es Combat Unrest Among Youth WASHINGTON (NC) Patrick Cardinal Q'Boyle of Washington recommends parochial school education as a major force in combatting today's unrest among youth.

Speaking before a joint meeting of the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club here, the cardinal ventured the opinion that the 1948 McCollum decision of the U. S. Supreme Court prohibiting released time religious education in public schools may be reversed.

"It is very possible that our Supreme Court will take a hard look at secularist teaching being carried on in public schools may Tule that, if schools cannot teach theistic religion, neither may they teach non-theistic religion to children," the cardinal said.

"It is possible that our Court, looking at strongly revived religious aspirations of the people, will liberalize its views respecting religious worship and practices in the public schools finding ways in which, without embarrassing children or a particular faith of those who are nonbelievers, other children are given the opportunity to enjoy the rights of their religious heritage," he added.

Basle Truths Cardinal O'Boyle said increasing numbers of persons of various religious faiths are "coming to appreciate the fact that it is possible for a child to get a good secular education at the same time he receives teaching of a religious nature."

He emphasized parochial school education "with its emphasis' on religious courses, does not guar. antee that..som~ of the pupils will' 'nbt "be numbered among those who are juvenile delinquents:' But he contended there would be less cause to become delinquents when "they have been taught that there is a God and that they are responsible to Him for the violation of His laws and the laws of the land."

The cardinal pointed out there has been unrest among the young people' throughout the history of the country. He said in contrast with the youth of former generations, teenagers and persons in their 20s "today no longer seem to have a grip of basic verities, which, to a greater or lesser extent, it was the fortune of past generations to have had.

"Our young people talk about 'rights' but many are not able to say what they think the ultimate source of 'rights' to be," he said.

Two Students Represent Diocese at CYO Annual Convention in Denver

Notre Dame Acts After Protests

By Patricia McGowan

"Everyone was so friendly." That was the chief impression carried away by Anne Marie Tyrrell and Noel Barrett of St. Patrick's parish, Fall River, from the 10th national Catholic youth Organization convention, held in Denver, Colo. The two were the only representatives of the Fall River Diocese at the meeting, and their presence was the result of months of teamwork on the part of their 150 fellow-members back home, who started holding fund-raising projects last Spring to make the trip possible.

CYO groups numbering from 7 to 700 members 'were repreresented at the convention, said Anne Marie. She said St. Patrick's CYO compared very favorably with other groups in the scope and number of its activities.

"We hoped to come back with many ideas for our CYO, but we found that we were doing more than many others already," she said.

Theme of the three-day meet'ing was "The Possible DreamFriendship," and this was explored by 10,000 delegates in many ways. At one workshop, said Anne Marie and Noel, role playing was used as a means of developing communication. They were surprised to find how much insight was derived by playing the parts of, for instance, parents and school officials.

NOTRE DAME (NC)-Father James L. Riehle, C.S.C., dean of students at the University of Notre Dame, has announced that he has notified five students of their expulsion and five others of their suspension for blocking doorways in demonstrations against campus recruiting by representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Dow Chemical Company.

The demonstrators had succeeded in forcing the recruiters off campus.

Interviewing by the CIA and Dow was stopped by 150 demonstrators showed up again the next day. After an hour, the Dow representative said he was leaving, but that he would return at a later date.

University identification cards were confiscated from an undis, closed number of students at the first demonstration, and a spokesman said all were liable to suspension or expulsion. All ID cards were later returned.

The students notified of expulsion and suspension have the right of appeal before a tripartite hearing board composed of two university administrators, two faculty members and two students. Penalties will not be meted out pending disposition by the hearing board, a spokesman said.

Art Linkletter An address by television person'ality Art Linkletter was singled out by the St. Patrick's delegates as a highlight of the meeting. "He discussed his h daughter's death as a result of taking LSD," said Noel, "and he REPORT ON CYO CONVENTION: Anne Marie Tyrrell and really got through to .the kids.".

Turn On With Life Make Drugs "Out Thing'

DENVER (NC)-Art linkletter came here and asked 4,000 teenage delegates to the national CYO convention to make drugs the "out" thing.

The' television personality, whose daughter recently was killed in a fall while apparently under the influence of LSD, is campaigning throughout the country against "turning on", with drugs.

There are always certain things that are "in" with young people, and certain things that are "out," said Linkletter. Other teenagers won't want to touch marijuana or physically addictive drugs if it is made the '~oltt" thing to do, he added.

Referring to Timothy Leary as a "missionary for marijuana," Linkletter said he was "attempt,ing to counter this evil man's crusade by asking the young people of America to turn on with life."

Leary is the former Harvard professor who as({ed people to "turn' on,. tune in and c;lrop out."

Leary actively encourages use of marijuana, but he is leaning toward th~ belief LSD is dangerous, according to Linkletter.

Linkletter told' the CYOers that only a few nights earlier Timothy. Leary had spoken at the University of Kentucky and had received a standing ovation from a standing-room only crowd.

"I think he is' one of the most evil figures of' our generation: one of the most disillusioned,

one of the most terrible figures to ever appear before the youth of America," Linkletter said___ and then, Linkletter received a standing ovation from his youthful audience.

The role of parents is more important than the role of legislation and law enforcement in beating the problem of drugs, he ·said. Parents are going to have to know more about drugs. A child is almost certainly going to be exposed to the possibility of using drugs, he added.

In the event parents find a child experimenting with marijuana, Linkletter said, they should not overact. The child should be talked to calmly about what the drug is.

Schedule Workshop In Communications NEW ORLEANS (N~)-More than 30 bishops are expected to attend a "Bishops' Workshop in Communications," Jan. 11 to 16, at Loyola University here, at which they will receive laboratory and lecture instruction in the theory lind practice of mass media from leading communications professionals.

The workshop, sponsored by the department of communications, United States Catholic Conf,~rence, will be directed by Warren W. Schwed, director of that department, and will be aimed at familiarizing bishops with communications theory and practice in order to be able to present the me~sage of the Church more effectively through modern media.

New Programs Reflect Diversity Of Disadvantaged. Problems WASHINGTON (NC) - The government next year will get deeper into two experimental programs calculated to help the disadvantaged. For not a few persons, the two projects will throw new light on the extent and diversity of the problem of helping those living in pockets of poverty in the nation's large cities.

One program will provide assistance for volunteers for military service who have failed to pass the entrance tests, and is designed to prepare them to take advantage of several options. The program will be carried out in large cities, which have large pockets of poverty, where sufficient numbers of military rejectees are available for training.

The other program will try to find out to what extent it helps to move disadvantaged workers from the inner city closer to jobs they have in the suburbs.

Experimental Program Under the first project rejected volunteers for military service will get counseling and coaching, so that they may be able to pass the military entrance tests if they wish to reapply; go into one of the U. S. Department of Labor training programs, or enter suitable employment.

The training centers will be operated chiefly through adult training facilities. The new Volunteer Military Rejectee Program (VMR) will follow the design of an experimental program it has carried on for four years, the Department of Labor said, and which indicates the program works better in larger cities.

Lengthy Commuting So far, on an experimental ba-sfs, ·it ·has been shown that 40 per cent of the military rejectees, with shortime coaching and counseling, can be helped to the point where they can enter the service, and that one-third

Announce Teachers' Salary Increase CINCINNATI (NC)-Lay teachers in the schools of the Cin. cinnati archdiocese will be given a "realistic salary increase" next Fall, the archdiocesan board of education announced.

The board' also approved a tenure plan, effective this Fall, and said a pension plan would be proposed for tlJe board's decision prior to the signing of next year's teacher contracts.

Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati approved the board's actions.

Msgr. William J. Franer, acting archdiocesan superintendent of schools, said the board adopted the measures in response to requests submitted \:>y the Archdiocesan Lay Teachers Association (ALTA). Some 1,700 lay teachers in the 19-county area of the archdiocese will be affected.

Christian Brothers Name Provincial ST. LOUIS (NC) - Brother James Daniel Keller, F.S.C., 45, director of La Salle High School in Cincinnati, has been named provincial of· the nine-state St. Louis Province of the Christian Brothers.

Brother Keller, who entered the teaching order in 1953 after receiving bachelor and masters degrees from Loyola University, Chicago, succeeds Brother Thor.1as Matthews, 53, who was killed last September in a crash of a jetliner near Indianapolis. .

entered the Job Corps, or were made ready for advanced training.

The second project will be conducted by the Greater Kansas City Council on Relgion and Race. The subjects of the tests will be 20 poor families from the inner core of Kansas City who have found employment in the suburbs, but who face problems of lengthy commuting and expense.

The National Alliance of Businessmen, through its JOBS program, will find the jobs in the suburbs for the poor families, and in the early stages of the test will provide the workers with transportation. After perhaps one to three months, to insure the worker's job stability, the worker will be assisted in relocating his family closer to where he works.

A comparison - including an analysis of changes in environment, attitude and psychology, coupled with economic, social and community response - will be made between clients successfully relocated nearer to suburban jobs and clients not relocated.

The Department of Labor is sponsoring both projects.

Error in Lithuanian Charge Is Noted CHICAGO (NC)-Charges that John Cardinal Cody had refused .to allow Lithuanian Catholics in Chicago to hear Mass and religious instruction in their own language have been vigorously denied here.

Father John Kuzinskas, assistant at Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary church here, pointed out.

"We have eight Masses at Nativity Church on Sunday and the same number on holy days of obligation. Four Masses are in Lithuanian and four in English.

On weekdays, we have six Masses, four in Lithuanian and two in English." . Nativity parish was mentioned in a Chicago Daily News story from Vatican City, written by George Weller, which quoted a petition of Parents of lithuanian children asking the Vatican to "intervene with Cardinal Cody and with Msgr. Victor Cer~auskas to permit our children to receive religious instruction in Lithuanian and to havc their First Communion in the holy Lithuanian rite." Msgr. Cernauskas is pastor of Nativity."

Avers Need ·of Committed Young People Survey Concerns Christian Family. Mcvement NOTRE DAME (NC)-A Uni-, versity, of Notre ,Dame sociologist said 'athree-year study of the Christian Family Movement (CFM) shows the organization may soon become irrelevant unless it can attract a new generation of committed young persons. , Dr. John R. Maiolo, assistant professor of sociology, said this is so mainly because the movement has failed to attract the young, who find the organization too conservative.

"Although the environment of 1969 is much like that of the 1940s when CFM emerged," Dr. Maiolo explained, "the radical young ,Catholics seem ,to be forming into underground parishes rather than turning to the movement."

CFM 'was formed in response to the alienation many Catholics felt in a war-torn world, marked with, divorce ,and, fragmented families. Inspired by papal encyclicals calling for a "lay apostolate," .the .movement began, as small, . community-oriented groups of couples dedicated to positive action on local problems. ' .

Dr. Maioio, who is currently completing a' book ,describing CFM's origins in the late 1940s and 'why it seems to him to be now on the wane, said the ideals of CFM, "are still the ideals of youth today. They are forming underground parishes to escape the impersonal, bigness of today's Church and to take action

Establish Center On Family Life, Sex Education

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 4,

Continue Interfaith Education Program COLLEGEVILLE (NC) - A group sponsored by St. John's University here to provide continuing education of all Minnesota clergy, and governed by an interdenominational board of advisors, received a $150,000 grant from the Bush Foundation of St. Paul, Minn.

The ecumenical educational venture, called an "urgent priority" and a "professional responsibility for clergy of all denominations to sustain their personal learning process," is designed to combat widespread unrest and discontent among clergy of all denominations, and especially to help those from rural and outstate communities adapt to rapid social changes.

Father Colman J. Barry, O.S.B., St. John's president, and chief Judge Edward J. Devitt of the U. S. District Court, said the program, known as "The Archibald and Edyth Bush InterDenominational Continuing Education for Clergy in Minnesota," is academically and professionally oriented.

Cautions Church 'Chicken· Littles'

OTTAW A (NC)-A national information service on family life and sex education has been established with headquarters here. , Its purpose is to provide data to school boards, church leaders, teachers, parents and others interested in introducing a family life education program in their community.

The service is called OTENAan Algonquin Indian word embracing the concepts of family, home, warmth and affection.

OTENA is the brainchild of Father Leo Lafreniere, a graduate of Belgium's Louvain University in Sexology and Family Services. He has directed a successful family, life education program for the Lakehead Separate School Board in northwestern Ontario.

He has also directed the training of a selec;t group of teachers from the Metro Toronto Separate School Board who are now teaching a family life program in Metro's 16 junior kindergartens and 200 kindergartens.

OTENA has five aims: To foster an application of the values, relationships, roles and responsibilities which make up family life.

To promote in children and adults sound attitudes toward their own sexuality.

To communicate through sex information an understanding of oneself as male and female.

Balanced Program To encourage the development of sex education programs in Canada through continuing preparation of parents, educators and community leaders.

To furnish information on current film~,', boo!<s, rec,Qrds and oiliei'" materials related to' family life and sex education through the application of scientific data. , .It· w~s' said ,that a"lthough OTENA's prime' objectives are to inform and educate teachers und parents by providing material and resource personnel, it will not give those who request guidance a "ready-made recipe" to introduce a family life progrum.

Rather, it was said, the service will provide guidelines for a balanced program for use in schools, and, because it intends to be of service to the community in general, OTENA will respect the religious beliefs and moral principles of the individual.

BAY CITY (NC) - Fat it e r Thomas Kowalczyk likened Catholics ,who panic over changes brought about in the renewal of the Church to "Chicken Little" of the nursery fable.

At St. James parish here, where he is an associate pastor, he cautioned parishioners: "We have become so crisisconscious that we forget the Church always has been in crisis.

Every day -there are decisive moments, decisions to make.

Every day is a turning point for better or for worse."

Getting around to the "Chicken Little'.' allusion, Father Kowalczyk said: ·.I·Someone gets hit on the head with an acorna change in liturgy, a new interpretation of a Scripture passage, a development of doctrine-and before he investigates what's happening, he excitedly clucks and cackles, caws and crows that the Church is falling down,"

'TOTALLY HOLY'-Pope Paul VI chats with some of the 500 Religious superiors from around the world who gathered in the Clementine Hall of 'the Vatican to hear the Pontiff praise them, saying, "The Church needs you. It relies on you. "He called on the world's nuns to be "totally holy" while pursuing interior renewal and exterior updating. NC Photo.

Operate Permanent Diaconate Program Four Centers in ·U .5. Give Training WASHINGTON (NC)-The recently established central office for disseminating information on th restored permanent diaconate will be "alerting" diocesan agencies, vocation directors, seminary rectors throughout ihe country within the next few months to the opportunity of establishing diaconal , training. '. programs in their' p'articular areas. The office will give advice and assistance in setting up such 'programs.

In September the secretariat for the Ui S. Bishops' Committee on the Permanent Diaconate was opened at the headquarters here of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB), with Father William W. Philbin, a priest of the Chicago archdiocese, as executive director.

Diocese Responsible A total of 87 men are currently enrolled as candidates for the permanent diaconate in the four 'training centers now in operation in the United States: St. John's University, Collegeville, Minn., conducted by the Benedictine Fathers; St. Joseph's Seminary, Washington, D. C., conducted by the Josephite Fathers-an order which has traditionally worked among the Negro community; Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit, conducted by that archdiocese; and SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary" Orchard Lake, Mich.

The committee on the permanent diaconate, Father Philbin explained, exists to be of service to bishops, diocesan agencies, seminaries, universities, etc., in the. establiShment of diaconal training programs. There is no one national, centralized program."

"The restoration (of the diaconate)," he said, "is decentralIzed, in the sense that a diocese or group of dioceses has basic responsibility for seeing that the candidate is properly equipped and trained."

Tailored to Needs The training program includes two school years (four semesters) of academic preparation and pastoral. experience. .The academic preparation emphasizes the study of Scripture, systematic theology and liturgy, together with pastoral psychology, sociology and communications.

Underlying the entire course of study is a concerted effort to correlate professional pastoral practice 'and 'theological reflection.

Candidates at these centers are enrolled on a part-time basis, attending classes and group discussions twice a week for two years prior to ordination, while retaining their present jobs. A third year will be devoted to post-ordination training with continued pastoral supervision in diocesan work.

The Collegeville. and Orchard Lake centers conduct full-time programs, training men from many different parts of the country. Candidates reside at the center, and some have moved their families on campus.

Jesuits in Mid-West Seek School Head

Religious in Florida Unite for Action ST. PETERSBURG (NC)-The Roman Catholic and Episcopal Bishops here will serve as chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the newly organized Religious United in Action for Community in Pinellas County, Florida.

Bishop Charles B. McLaughlin of St. Petersburg's Catholic Diocese is new chairman. The newly elected prelate of the newly created Protestant Episcopal diocese of Southwest Florida, Bishop William Hargrave, is vicechairman.

Rabbi David J. Susskind of the local Temple Beth-EI said "we have kept" the organization "under wraps for six months. To the best of our knowledge, it is one of its kind in the nation," The constitution and by-laws adopted indicate the reason for the organization: "In a day of fragmentation of religious and community forces, 'we, as representatives of various Christian and Jewish groups of this area unite in expression of our concern for the moral and physical welfare of all clients. to propose worthy solutions to prevalent problems and project responsible means of achieving jus~ and ethical goals."

ST. LOUIS (NC)-Father Gerald Van Ackeren, S.J., dean of the School of Divinity of St. Louis University, has resigned in order to devote more time to reading and study.

The acting dean of the school will be Father Walter C. McCauley, S.J., currently chairman of the department of dogmatic and systematic theology. A search committee will be appointed to seek nationally a successor to Father Van Ackeren, who held the position for 10 years.

By Luke Sims When Larry Naviaux assumed the position of head football coach at Boston University early in the year, no one expected the 1969 season to turn into a "miracle season."

The Terriers were coming off a mediocre 5-3-1 campaign and several key starters had been lost in the graduation shuffle.

Twenty-two lettermen were on the "return sheet," however, and the promise of a good season, at least, was in the offing.

Center Jerry -Huston of New Bedford was one of the returnees.

The season opened on a favorable note when the Terriers white-washed Colgate University, 2.0-0. The victory was to set the mood for the '69 campaign.

Vermont was next, and the BU offense waltzed across the Nickerson Field Astroturf to the tUM of 27 points enroute to a 20-point triumph. The big test was a week away at Harvard Stadium.

Close to 40,000 filled the stadium and watched with unbelieving eyes as the Terriers squeezed out a 13-10 victory for their third straight winning effort.

The. University of Massachusetts Redmen, who would later go on to capture the Yankee Conference crown, were next. It was homecoming day at BU and the Terriers were fired up and poised for victory number four.

It didn't come until the following week, however, as a tough UMass defense limited the scarlet and white to one touchdown and a field goal in posting a 14-9 victory.

It turned out. to be the final defeat of season as the Terriers followed with victories over Lafayette (22:14), Maine (20-7), Connecticut (37-21), Rhode Island (27-13), Delaware (30-14) and finally Temple (20-13).

When the curtain fell, Boston University boasted a 9-1-0 record . . .) . . the best one-season mark in the school's history.

Huston had the distinction of being part of that team.

The 6-2, 215-pound senior is the son of Gerald F. Huston, Sr., 173 Hillman Street and Mrs. Edna B. Dyer, also of New Bedford. He is a communicant of Holy Name Parish.

Gerry is the oldest of five Huston children, and one of three boys. Jimmy (15) and Ronny (13) are students at Keith Junior High School. Sisters Peggy (18) is married and Deb· bie (3) is at home.

Catholic Education 'Alive, Thriving' WASHINGTON (NC)-A live, new publication of the National Catholic Educational Association, has been sent to 36,000 association members and supporters.

The newsletter format, fourpage publication, described as "Brief Notes for Busy People," is written by Father C. Albert Koob, O. Praem., NCEA president.

The newsletter says the "one idea that it will seek to convey is this-Catholic education is alive and thriving in many places, this despite all rumors to the contrary."

JERRY HUSTON Huston got his gridiron baptism at New Bedford High School where he was a standout center on the Whalers' varsity for three seasons. During his senior year he was the recipient of countless awards.

In addition to winning AIlScholastic honors in the New

Migrant Workers Continue Education WASHINGTON (NC)- Three teen-age Mexican American migrant workers who have ended the seasonal harvesting work in the Toledo, Ohio, area have arrived here to participate in the High School Equivalency Program located on the campus of Catholic University.

Two of the new arrivals are brothers, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Gil Balderas of La Feria, Tex., who have five other children.

Domingo, 18, and Luis, 17, had attended public school in Texas and reached the ninth grade level. Both agree ·that the concentrated HEP classes are a great improvement over other schools they attended.
