By Patricia McGowan Christmas is coming! Yes, but Advent is here, and it is a pity for people to center their anticipation on one day, Dec, 25, and forget the nearly four weeks of anticipation by which the Church leads us to the Bethlehem manger.

While Lent remains as a sacred season, Advent too often becomes a period notable merely for rushed shopping, too many parties, and, too often, strained tempers.

As G. K. Chesterton noted: "The Christmas season is domestic; and for that reason most people now prepare for it by struggling in tramcars, standing in queues, rushing away in trains, crowding despairingly 'into tea-shops and wondering when or whether they will ever get home. I do not know whether some of them disappear forever in the toy department or simply lie down and die in the tearooms; but by the look of them, it is quite likely.

"Just before the great festival of the home, the whole population seems to have become homeless."

The Advent liturgy, with its atmosphere of hushed expectation, is the perfect counterbalance to this pseudo-Christmas spirit. If we will let it, it can pervade our lives for the time Turn to PuCt Eighteen

Cigognani Asserts 'No Peace Without liberty'

VALLETTA (NC)-About 100,000 people from throughout Malta assembled at the Valletta suburb of Floriana to protest the arrival of an inspection team from the Socialist International.

At that very moment a crowd of about 15,000 welcomed the socialist inspection team at nearby Paola. The Paola rally was addressed by former prime minister Dom Mintoff, who invited the socialist leaders to Malta to investigate what he has been calling the Church's interference in politics.

The Socialist International involves about 40 socialist and . workers' parties throughout the world. The London-based federation claims 10 million members.

Two-Year StudY Commenting on these figures, John W. Gardner, president of the Carnegie Corporation, said: "Despite this striking growth of attendance in the parochial schools, the compilation of factual information has not kept pace, and there has been no recent authoritative study of Catholic educational requirements and resources."

In Washington, Msgr. Hochwalt estimated that the project would be a two-year study. He said the findings would ultimately be presented in book form.

Processed ,Data The study will begin with Ole sending of 'questionnaires on Catholic schools to school administrators and others familiar with Catholic education, he said.

The data thus collected will be fed into a machine at the Notre Dame computation center. ThIs processed data will then be analyzed by scholars.

Funeral services for Sister Mary of Our Lady of Mercy.

F.M.M., principal of Espirito Santo School, Fall, River froOl 1949 to June of this year, were held at Holy Family Novitiate in Providence.

Born in Philadelphia in 1890, Sister Mary entered the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in 1914 and made her novitiate at the community's international house in Grottaferrata, Italy.

Returning to the United States in 1920, Sister Mercy was assigned to Mount St. Francis in Woonsocket where she was a teacher for ,13 years. Her last assignment prior to Espirito Santo was in Cincinnati, where she' taught and was directress of a 'Summer camp for children.

Ra bbi Says- Jews' 'Eagerly' Await Vatican Council

Calls on Industry To Show Worker Appreciation

'NOTRE DAME (NC) Jews look upon the coming ecumenical co u n c i I with "eager anticipation," a rabbi writes in a national Catholic weekly magazine. . This hopeful attitude is in direct contradiction to Jewish feelings toward previous councils, says Rabbi Arthur Gilbert in "A Jew Looks at the Ecumenical Council." Jews once feared such councils, he declares, but reccnt popes. have established a profounder sense of brotherhood with Jews.

Ou&lines Hopes Among actions Jews hope to see come from the Second Vatican Council, according to Rabbi Gilbert, is "a clear statement renouncing anti-Semitism, defining the role of Israel in God's eternal purpose and acknowledging the Church's relationship to spiritual Semitism through the fatherhood of Abraham."

"Jews if). America also hope that there can be further conversation on such subjects as the relation of Church and State, the moral use of political power by church organizations in shaping the public' order ' and the Church's responsibility in charity to other faith groups in a pluralistic society," Rabbi Gilbert says.

Keep in Contact A significant stumbling block to any direct Jewish participation in the council is the fact thet'e is no one representative body "iri existence that could be sure of the support of all Jewry," Rabbi Gilbert declares. Nevertheless, he points out, Augustin Cardinal Bea, who has beenappointed by the Vatican to maintain communication with other churches, has expressed hope Jews will set up a committee to keep in contact with the Vatican Council.

Father Cronin, assistant director of the Social Action Department, National Catholic Welfare Conference, said the average worker wants to feel that he is a part I)f'the firm. He added: "Employment does not change a man's dignity. A man is not lessened by employment that makes him a subordinate."

He emphasized a firm which recognizes this and sees the workers' need for non-economic benefits will have happier workers. Morale is an important part of cost control, he pointed out, .and consultants often have shown that morale quickly shows up on the cost sheet.

Father Cronin observed 11 "common-sense" approach of consultation with employes will build up "preventive conciliation" and solve a lot of labormanagement problems before +.hey became critical.

Faith, in Baptism, was a gift, of God, a new power: a reliance on and confidence in God simply because He is God. It is a habit by which we easily and automat.:. ically accept some truth because He has taught it--not because We like or dislike it, not because we can fully understand it. There' are thousands of things we accept without murmur day after day, without understanding' them, but on the word of some authority. What greater author-' ity can there be than God' Almighty!

St., Jfj,mes Church One of Most' Beautiful In Whaling City of New B~dfl!r~

By Avis C. Roberts Events which highlighted the early days of St. James Church, New Bedford, were the first baptism for John McCullough; the first marriage, that of James McNeeley and Ann Lotus; formation of Sunday School classes; organization of the Father Clark Sewing Circle and the first confirmation, administered by Bishop Harkness. On May 15, 1890 breaking of the ground fQr the new church took place and on Oct. 25, 1891 Bishop Harkness laid the corner-

stone of St. James Church in the presence of more than 10,000.

Into the cornerstone box were placed records showing that Leo XIII was Pope; Benjamin Harrison president of the United States; William E. Russell governor of Massachusetts; Charles S. Ashley mayor of New Bedford and Rev. James F. Clark pastor of the church.

Father Noon was appointed assistant in 1900, a year preced- ing Father Clark's silver jubilee anniversary. In the next few years, ground was broken for the construction of the Convent of Mercy, west of the church.

Tapestry of Sister's Life Shows Completed· Pattern "

DALLAS (NC) - President Kennedy said the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine's grass roots program of religious instruction gives promise of a healthy future for the nation.

He made the comment in a telegram sent from Hyannisport to Bishop Thomas K. Gorman of Dallas-Fort Worth, host to the gathering of the Church agency charged with religious instruction of Catholics outside Church schools.

"At a time when this nation must face the challEmge of delinquency and selfishness of some youths as well as the consolation of heroism and dedication by others," said the President, "the Comraternity of Christian Doe,tr-ine grass roots program of reminding American youths of their high spiritual heritage is certainly to be commended.

"This program accords with the highest traditions of this country and gives promise of a healthy future for our nation."

The President termed it "particularly satisfying" to extend a welcome to congress delegates from Latin America.

Group to Plan Bishop/s Ball

By Audrey Palm Riker How ,do you give your new baby the best emotional start in life? Is there any way to insure a healthy personality? No matter what desirable trait you'd like to foster in your child, you start by giving him attention and affection - a feeling of being little. That's quite different from loved and wanted. "But," trying to train him by letting new parents ask, "what kind him scream indefinitely or until of love? Can't you give a exactly four' hours have'passed.

The ticket committee of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women making plans for next month's Bishop's Ball will meet at 2:30 this Sunday afternoon sA Nazareth Hall, Fall River.

An inspection tour of the, school will be held from 2:30 to 3, followed by a business session and tea. Pouring at the tea will be Mrs. Gilbert Noonan, Diocesan Council president and Mrs. John J. Mullaney, immediate past president.

Miss Margaret Lahey, Diocesan chairman for the charity event, will conduct the meeting. at which attendants will report on progress of plans for the ball.

baby too much love and spoil him?" First, a baby needs a mother. Not, just any kind of ' mother, and not necessarily his natural mother, but a single, consistent, attentive person to care for him.

Psychologists know that babies kept in" institutions over> long periods do ,,",,,,,,,, not thrive emotionally. Despite adequate food and physical care, these children are subject to a continuous change of nu,rses and attendants and often spend long periods allme.

As a result, many seem not to be babies at all. Listless and withdrawn, 'they 'frequently develop as troublesome, disturbed children, unable either to give or accept love. . Second, babies need ,close, physical contact with this same , dependable mother. Again a' particular kind of co~tact.-not just a warm, safe, irilpersonal presence, but a talking" active, ' fondling mother.

Every parent recognizes that

Does indulging an infant to help him develop a strong, healthy personality in later life sound contradictory? And how do we know that this kind of baby care really works?

The evidence is good that it does work. Babies who get prompt loving attention thrive physically and emotionally. As a group they tend to be contented; outgoing little persons. Furthermore, ,doctors find far fewer feeding problems now than in the days of ironclad schedules and grim "Let 'em cry it out" mottoes.

Paradox or not, it is by indulging a baby in his early months of life that you build feelings of trust and security.

How long must this go on? Not very long. Even before his first birthday, ''No'' begins to mean something, and parents can start to introduce controls and limits to their offspring.

Children who are warmly loved and cared for in early infancy stand the best chance of developing healthy persOnalities.

Later "experiences, of course, have the'ir effect too. But here we are talking about giving your child the best possible start in life. _

"Let all who teach Christian doctrine, either by virtue of their office or by reaso~ of their own 'free act, be well 'aware that theirs is a most honorable title; "Let them be fully convinced that their labor and toil will win for them a rich harvest of merit." · These words from the Pope were read at the opening session of the 11th national and fourth Inter-American CCD Congress.

, Says End of 1962 .

Possible Starting Date for Council·

THE ANCHOR-':Oiocese

of Fall

River-Thurs., Dec. 7, 1961

DALLAS (NC)-The Se~ ond Vatican Council may conv~ne by the end of 1962, but a definite starting date has not yet been determined. the Papal Secretary of State said here.

Amleto Cardinal Cicognani. asked at the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine congress here to comment on reports that the council may open on Dec. 9. 1962. said this is not certain.

He told a press conference that a letter formally announcing the council will be sent to all Catholic' bishops during this ~hrist­ mas season. Such a letter or declaration. he explained. is called a letter of indiction.

Invite Protestant Observers The letter will not set a date, he stated, but added that Holy See officials in charge of preparatory arrangements for the council hope they can finish their work within the next 12 months.

In response to another question. he said Protestant observers will be invited to the council, but he cannot announce which churches will be extended invitations.

Asked about charges by some Protestant sects that their efforts in Catholic countries are stifled. he responded that Catholic principles are clear.

Promote Truth "Religion is to be professed. it is a right of nature," he said.

"The Church is guided by the general principle not to offend anybody and to promote truth."

He said. however, that if there are restrictions on certain sects operating in some Catholic countries, these are the result of the reaction of civil authorities to "civil disorders" created by sects which disrupt the traditional tranquil atmosphere. I Asked to comment on persecution of Catholics in communist Cuba. Cardinal Cicognani, said: "We must be optimistic about the final outcome. ho'wever saddening it is today, 1;lecause we know they have been baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity and they have' in their souls this indelible mark."

Study UN Rights At Notre Dame Through the activity of Chris- . tian Family Movement members, parishioners of Notre Dame Church, Fall River, have become aware of the Universal Declaration I of Human Rights. of the United Nations.

CFMers prepared copies .of the Declaration which weredistributed at all Masses l~st Sunday. following an 'explanation from the pulpit. Parishioners were urged' 'to keep the cleaflets; discuss them. and pass them on to friends.

It was emphasized that the Declaration was subscribed to by all UN members, including Soviet Russia. Its 30 articles in';' clu~e the rights of asylum from pers.ecution, equal 'pay for equal work. the right. to leisure\"·Tn.:. eluding "reasonable liniitatfon of wor~ing hours and periodic hoI,:" iday, with pay."

Adequate Living Standard Other rights include that of 'an adequate standard of living. unemployment security, care in old age and sickness, and special care and assistance to· mothers and children. "All children," notes the Declaration, "whether born in or out of wedlock. shall enjoy the' same social protec:' tion."

Everyone has the righ~ to edueatipn, the Declarlltion continues, and' elementary ed!Jca~ion, at 1ea~t. should be free. al)d compulsory. "Parents have. a prior rig*t to choose the kin/;l.of. educa,tion that shall be given.to their children."

Missionaries in Africa, Burma, India and elsewhere receive an average of only 20 cents a day from the Holy Father on which to live, travel; build churches 'and schools.

We in the United States often speak of one school in terms of a million dollars. The difference between the Body of Christ in mission lands and in our own is enormous.

But the ansWer is not to level off our administration so that our hospitals are no better than the dispensaries in ,Burma. The reduction of the Gospel to economic equality is not what the 'Lord recommended to wealthy Zaccheus, nor to comfortable Lazarus, Martha and Mary.

The answer U~ in exchange. In all such transactions," a good o( one kind is exchanged for a good of another kind, as alluarter Is' exchanged for a loaf of bread. The missions have , something to give us; we have something to give them. They eaD JlnSpire us to greater love of eonversion; we can give greater alms, so' thai they ID&Y learn our organization and administration.

ConversioDB in the United States average 2.8 .Per priest each year; , eooversions in Roaild~Urondi,Koreaand'South Vietnam average over 160 per priest, But their schools, their charities. ,their laJ' organizations are insignificant in cOmPari80n tooors. They need our money to learn to administer; we 'need their SPirit In order to be moreevangeliea1.'

-.-,-,

This is not a question for dioceseS, but.'for. individual Cat1lolics.

If each of us gave 27 dollars a year to the Holy Father ,f.or all the Missions of the world instead of our present 27 cents, the Lord would bless us with greater zeal,a deeper love of our fellow men and a more ardent desil'e f-or their Conversion. The sacrifice of our material blessings far their needs would be exchanged by Our Lord for more spiritual blessings folr this country.

why not resolve to send the Holy Father $! each meMll tor eleven months and $5 another month? We have been Wl'iting thb eolumn every week for eleven years. May it now bear fruit In J'our wills, your annuities, your love of J~ and Mary through.. out the world. Remember. the Do'" Father's Society for the Propagation of the Faith is the only missloDaIT organization in Ute world that helPs missions everywhere. All others are limited to an area or a SocIety; the Doly Father alone cares for the world.

All Ireland is like a'small town awaiting the circus van as the debut of their nationally-owned and operated television station draws near.

When the Irish Bishops spoke on television at their annual meeting, they made front page headlines in all the secular newspapers of the nation. They warned that Irish television must set an example to the world in "the high function of healthy formation of public opinIon and taste."

Both married and unmarried frequently start out by telling themselves that they only want to relax and have "fun," that there's no serious intent in their familiarities, and that they can always keep the situation well under control.

As your"letter suggests this isl not always the case, and what started out to be "fun" ends up as a drunken brawl or worse, Considering the ample evidence for the current widespread relaxation of the moral code regUlating sexual relationship, it is high time for Catholic couples to recognize that they cannot hope to preserve marital fidelity unless they make a reasonable effort to avoid situations that experience and common sense should tell them are likely to involve serious temptation.

Careless familiarity in regard to extra-marital associations is frequently justified as the need to foster good working relationships, but it is a thin disguise for incipient infidelity and should be recognized as such.

The hierarchy cited television's power as greater than, the movi~s and theater because "it penetrates the very sanctuary of the home." ,The three Dublin secular newspapers carried the Bishops' statement as the lead story of the day with two column headlines. 'and printed the full text of their warning.

Producers' Obligations Two newspapers, the Irish Catholic and the Irish Standard, both commented editorially on the' statement and have run a series on the obligations of television producers each week in their editorial pages.

The Catholic Standard commented that Ireland has an advantage in starting television at a late date. This enables it to learn from the experience of other nations, the' paper said.

It also gives it the guidance of the Church as expre,ssed in Pope Puis XII's encyclical on television, radio and the movies, Mir,anda Prorsus, and in Boni P~s­ toris, a document on the same ,t~Pic issu'e~ by Pope John.

'Gift from God' _The Bishops said that "teleVISIon is a wonderful achievement of modern science and it has been described as a gift to - man from God. It can help counteract many influences of modern life which tend to take people away from the home." , But they also said that this same medium can do great harm not merely in the diffusion of

Denies U. S. Promotes Birth COfntrcool

By Jack Kineavy Bishop Stang pries. the lid off its first varsity basketball schedule tomorrow night in a home encounter against Westport and the Narry League. The Spartans have a 20 game slate lined up which includes home and home engagements with Taunton and McMahon, Alan Richardson and New Bedford Vocational of John Kelliher. The schedule: the fast Bristol County cirDec. 8, Westport; 12, Dightoncuit. Stang will enter B.C.L. Rehoboth; 15, at Westport; 19, at competition in all sports on a full time basis commencing with the '62-'63 scholastic year.

The Parochials are coached by John O'Brien, former Coy 1 e and Somerset mentor, who will be assisted

by Charley Connell, e x CoyIe - Durfee Tech standout.

Highlight of Stang's intial varsity competition will be an appearance in a Holiday Tourney, Dec. 30 and 31 at the University of New Hampshire, Durham, N. H. Also participating in the two day round robin will be Marian High of' Framingham, Bishop Fenwick of Peabody and St. Thomas Aquinas of Dover, N. H. The Spartans, working hard in preparation for the Westport encounter, have had three game. scrimmages to date. Inexperience caused the club to blow alternately hot and cold in these exhibitions. Coach O'Brien is, therefore, understandably reluctant to make any pre-season predictions but he hopes that his charges will be able to put together a .500 season.

"We have an excellent potential," O'Brien observed, "and if the boys continue to improve, we are confident of realizing our pre-season goal." A tentative starting ,five includes four sophomores and one junior. The only upperclasSmaQ in this unit is 6-1 Tom Giasson who quarterbacked the Spartans to a splendid 5-1-1 record 'on the g~idiron' this Fall.

the guard positions. He comes froin a long line of outstanding athletes; among them his father, who was one of the finest baseball players ever to come out of Fall River, as well as being a topnotch footballer.

The· honor of being co-captain ,elect of next year's Colby eleven is Charlie's. He will share the captaincy with a fellow Bay Stater, Harmon Smith of Marblehead. A Somerset High School graduate, Senior Jim Bridgeman, was co-captain and center of the 1961 edition.

Dick stands 6 feet, 1 inch in height and weighs a rugged 210 pounds. A scholarship student...he was on the Honor Society at Durfee - he is' majoring in geology at the college in Maine.

Bonalewicz Shines The fact tha t Dick has blossomed into such a standout OD the gridiron has come as somewhat of a surprise to many, since he was better known for his prowess in baseball and basketball during his high school days.

As a three-letterman at Durfee, Dick .made a good enough account of himself to become the recipient of the coveted Tom Gastall award during his Senior year.

In baseball Dick was a feared pitcher until he developed arm trouble and was forced to change to other positions on the diamond. He has played for St. Patrick Church CYO teams, for the CYO Suburban League, and was a pitcher on the Stafford Post nine which went undefeated into the American Legion State tourney finals in 1958.

Shifts to Outfield , Last Spring Dick played tRe outfield for the Colby Varsity nine, avoiding pitching because of his troublesome arm.

oped countries "certainly is not a policy objective of the United States Government." . William Nunley. special assistant to Under Secretary of State George W. Ball, declared that the U. S. will not make population control a condition of foreign aid to other countries.

Nunley, who stressed that he was not speaking in a personal .capacity but was presenting "the current attitudes of the Department of State," spoke at a session . on population problems during the National Conference on International Economic and Social Development.

The same session heard St. Louis University sociologist Father John L. Thomas, S.J., declare that Catholics advocate a "multi-faceted approach" . to solving population problems and insist on the duty of rich nations to aid underdeveloped nations.

C. S. Krishna Moorthi, eco., nomic minister of the Embassy of India, said his government regards its population control efforts as "matters of internal mo'Jilization, not of foreign aid."

Nunley told the meeting,representing U. S. voluntary foreign relief· agencies, that he did not have "the slightest idea what we will be doing one year or ·10 years from now" in the population field.

But, he added, "there· are certain things which I feel cer. tain that the United States Government will not do.

"We will not attempt to impose pOpulation controls upon governments or peoples. We will not make population control a condition of our economic assistance .to other countries. We will not advocate any particular technique of population control in preference to other.techniques."
