Cardinal OIBoyle,Vehemently Opposes District of Columbia Move WASHINGTON (NC) Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle, in the strongest terms, has denounced an abortion-on-request proposal for th~ nation's capital. "Abortion is murder. "That is the issue. "I do not say it is legal murder - the law has never been consistent enough to recognize the full truth. But abortion is morally the same as any other murder." "And Anglo-American lawaiways has recognized that aboll'-

tion is a grave crime ,against the human life of the unborn. To permit abortion now would simply be to decide that is is expedient for some to die for the welfare of the rest of us," the , cardinal asserted. ' Cardinal Q'Boyle's views are outlined in a statement he has issued in his stand against recommendations made by a committee on District of Columbia General Hospital, seeking supplementary appropriations from Congress to improve the hospital's services. The recommendations included a proposal for

easing the anti-abortion law in the nation's capital by permitting an abortion to be performed on any woman who requests one. "If any woman has a right to have an abortion, poor women would have the same right. But no one has a right to an abortion, no more than any parent has a right to kill his infant after it is born. ' "Birth is no magic dividing line that separates the prehuman from the trUly human. The unborn child is as' much a person -a living human individual-as

any of us," Cardinal O'Boyle emphasized. Prior to 1946, the Cardinal said, U. S. courts consistently held, that the unborn child is not a legal person in the extent that the child could collect for injuries suffered before birth. "Beginning in 1946, this old view was completely reversed. and the reversal began with a case right here in the District of Columbia. In that case, the court observed that the law regarding the property of unborn children and the law regarding Turn to Page Six

Catholic Educator in Calif. Says Help Us or We Close

LOS ANGELES (NC)-Catholic elementary and high schools of the Los Angeles Archdiocese incurred a deficit of $9,327,000 last year. Msgr. Donald W. Montrose, archdiocesan superintendent of high schools, cited the figure in testimony before the educa"In the last analvsis it will be tion committee of the Cali- necessary for the people of this fornia State Assembly. Later, state to offer students currently he said: "As every Catholic in private schools a modicum of knows from the experience of his parish contributions, our schools have always operated at a deficit, since income from tuition or other fees falls far short of the amount needed to run the schools." Inner City Crisis The tuition scale in archdiocesan schools has been deliberately kept low in the belief that each child, regardless of economic background, is entitled to a Catholic education, Msgr. Mont路 rose declared, pointing out that the archdiocese has relied on the sacrifice of parishioners to help carry the financial burden. "The extent of that sacrifice o 0 0 is reflected in the size of the deficit they have been helping us to meet," he stated. Msgr. Montrose' added that despite the generous sacrifices of Catholic parishioners, "spiraling costs are making it impos~ible to continue to meet the rising deficit." Addressing the legislators, Msgr. Montrose said the archdiocesan school financial crisis is greatest in inner city locales. Parishes in these areas are no longer able to handle the school operations deficits by themselves. Plight Serious l.ast year's deficits were paid off through a combination of parish and archdiocesan collections, he repor~ed. "WIsgr. "Montrose cited three elements which are contributing to the financial crisis in Catholic educatiQJ1',l}ere: inflationary non-salary costs; increased salaries for lay teachers and an increase in the number of lay teachers needed to offset a decrease in the number of religious personnel in the schools. "The private sector is very much aware of the serious financial needs of the public education:' he observed. "We believe In the necessity of public education and wholeheartedly support the public sector in its efforts to obtain adequate financial support. We do not wish to compete for dollars designated for public education." One or the Other But Msgr. Montrose noted there has been increased cooperation between public and private education since passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. Programs funded under the act are administered by public school officials but with the cooperation of nonpublic' school personnel, whose students also participate.

Archdiocese Aids. Housing Project WASHINGTON (NC)-Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle toured the Sursum Corda housing development here and inspected the community building, which was built with the aid of a $60,000 grant by the cardinal on behalf of the Washington archdiocese. Sursum Corda is a nonprofit organization whose aim is to find housing for families displaced by urban renewal. Some 1,200 tenants will eventually live in the housing development including an estimated 715 chilo dren 16 years old and under,

support to enable them to be educated in the private school they choose to attend, or be willing to pay for their full education in the public schools as the private sector becomes unable to finance private education in an adequate manner," Msgr. Montrose said.

Expects Pastoral Board Infl uence In Canada OTTAWA .(NC)-A national pastoral council, currently under study here, will have "an influence" on de-I cisions to be made by the bishops of Canada, according to Bishop William E. Power of An路 tigonish. "If people are consulted and they express their opinions, whether we like it or not, this is going to have an influence on whatever decisions are made," the Nova Scotia Bishop has opined. Bishop Power said the Canadian Bishops are generally pleased with the evolutionary develop~ent of a national pastoral council. He noted, however, that during the three-day council steering committee meeting some discussions got bogged down in a juridical approach to the establishment of the' national council. The Bishop explained he did not intend this observation as 'a criticism. "In the past we have been accustomed to think that when people come together we look at the juridical approach right away," Bishop Power said. "The Church is a community of people," he continued. "We do not see the Church now as a pyramid, but rather (0 (0 (0 a wheel (0 0) (0 and the Bishop is the hub, the point of unity."

Cardinal Cushing

DiverRity:"- Uility The Second V tican .Council's Decre.e on the Apo,stolate of the Laity I says, in the very' beginning, "In the Church, there is diversity of service but unity of purpose." This is a good frinciple to keep in mind when reviewing all that is bein? said' and written about the need for . each Church member to raise his voice and be heard in the Church today. INo one will quarrel ,.With that idea. This has been the Whole thrust of papal teaching of the last several Popes Jnd has been the constant exhortation of many a priest krid bishop of the last decade. Each person, andespeci~lly the lay person, must' assume. his proper role and not ,let the work of the Church be the work alone of cleric~. " By virtue of . ~aptism and confirmation, a layperson has the role to be witness for Christ wherever he may be, in places wheT clerics cannot be, in spheres of activity where he is most ~t home, in fields of endeavor, especially where he has a special competence and, thus, a greater position for Christian influence. Sometimes lay eople have not done this with enough zeal. Sometimes the¥ have not been allowed to do so with full force. But the douncil has re-emphasized their proper ' '. role and urged theni. to assume it. This. is their roJll.e. This is their service to and in the Church. By reason of t e added sacrament of orders, a priest has a different. rolJ. His is to be the ;'first Christian in the community, t~e' dispenser of the sacraments, the double for Christ ih the society, the reminder to all of ' the spiritual values land goals of man, the one who helps h ..

This is his rOle,~his service, in and to .the Church. . . . h By a f urther a d f uII participation m t e sacrament of orders, a bishop has another role, to shepherd the Church of, God, to be, as.~ successor of the apostles, a teacher in the.

The 9ifferences. are not merely legal or juridical. They are sacramental.· " . The . differences are not merely those of competence -although they ar that too, certainly. They are truly' .diverse roles, diversity of service. ' . . Part of today's problems ,. is' that people are' more interested in doing someone else's role' than their own.

Continued from Page ,One in nonpublic schools "within the framework of state and federal. constitutions." . . Cardinal Cushing said the legislative bill stemmed from a "cooperative activity" .of school systems in the dioceses of Worcester, Fall River and Springfield, in addition to the Boston archdiocese. . Catholic schools in Massachusetts enroll nearly 210,000 chilo dren under the direction of some 7,500 lay and Religious teachers in more than 500 educational units. The new legislative bill was filed by Sen. Kevin B. Harrington of Salem, Democratic majority leader in the senate.. He acted on' a petition of Michael J. Morrill, chairman of the . Worcester diocesan school board. The bill is designed to wipe out an "anti-aid" amendment to the state constitution, a move comparable to legislative action in Pennsylvania which was recently upheld by a three-judge federal panel in Philadelphia. A challenge to similar legislation in ,the state of Connecticut is pending in court there. Purchase Services Under the proposed Massachusettslegislation, "secular educational services" would pertain to instruction in subjects found in the public school curriculum but exclude "all reli. gious indoctrination or orientation of any sort." The legislation would provide for the purchase "at cost" of such educational services as teacher salaries, textbooks and fnstructional materials but does not allow for the payment of construction and maintenance of nonpublic structures." Other terms of the legislation 'Would provide for "quality and . fiscal" controls by' the state including approval of textbooks and instructional material; a program of review of school standards, teacher certification and testing; and retroactive payments after the rendering of service and assurances that all requisites have been met.

Catholic Scho Crisis InHuenc Public Educat~€.6u .WASHINGTON (NC) -

The executive director of Citizens for Educational Freedom (CEF) told the House General Subcommittee on Education here that survival of the country's nonpublic schools depends on the federal government's willingness to guarantee all citizens their right to an. education. William G. Polking asserted all segments of American society should be committed to insuring the survival of non· public education since', he said, the nonpUblic school system serves the same public purpose as the public school system. The House subcommitte, under Rep. Roman Pucinski of Illinois, has been taking testimony o~ a series of bills regardling federal assistance to education. Msgr. James C. Donohue, director of the division of elementary and secondary education, United States Catholic Conference, told the subcommittee earlier that the financial crisis which has forced the closure of many Catholic schools has contributed to a similar crisis in public education. Thus, he said, it Is "sound public polley" for the government to Increase public assist· ance to nonpublic education. Two·Year Program CEF, a 10-year-old private nonsectarian organization which has been In the forefront of the fight for public assistance to nonpublic school children, was represented by Polking, Herbert Van Denend of Hawthorne, N. J., national president of CEF, Melvin M. Kieschnick, superintendent of Christian education for the Michigan district of the' Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and Mrs. Marilyn Lundy, Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich. Polking cited enactment of the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as "the precedent for committing the federal government to the inclusion of private and parochial school children in federal education programs." Polking endorsed a bill introduced by Rep. James J. Delaney of New York which authorizes a two-year program of financial aid for all elementary and secondary school children in the United States. The measure would provide an annual and direct subsidy for each child whether he attends a public or a nonpublic school. To qualify for future federal assistance, Polking added, nonpublic schools must meet specific standards of quality education so that such aid will reinforce rather than diminish as.sistance to public schools.

Give Schools Choice: Change or Close Down San Francisco Superintendent Stresses Innovation SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The San Francisco archdiocesan schools system must either change or close down, according to Father Bernard Cummins, the superintendent. At a forum on the future of Catholic Men, Father Cummins said unless there is innovation Catholic schools will simply die. The forum promised it discussion of adult education, the Christian formation of Catholic 'children attending public schools, and the future of Catholic schools in the archdiocese. But some persons said the program was too narrowly focused on the Catholic schools, while adult education and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine received short shrift. (Father William Lowery, director of adult education for the archdioce.se was unable to attend because of illness.) . . Father Cummins said "Project Future," the planned amalgamation of Catholic high schools in San Francisco's Mission district,

and the new St. Teresa's elementary school, which has ungraded classes and a wall-less interior, were both examples of the archdiocese's commitment to change. He said the goal of Catholic education Is to train students in the sacred realm as well as the secular, to form "Christian humanists." Msgr. John sta«km, director of the CCD, pointed to a grow-

ing need for' a more professional approach to CCD, with paid teachers and staff. Gegoire Calegari, chairman of the education commission of the' Bay Area Council of Laymen, said he was at the discussion "to disturb." • He called for a shift of focus from Catholic schools to total Catholic education and asked for more money and effort for CCD,

Council Prompted, New Relations VATlCAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI, speaking to a group of Anglicans, said that "new relationships between our communities" have resulted from the Second Vatican Council. The Pope ·was receiving members of the directive committee of Rome's Anglican Center. Among them was the Rev. Dr. J. Howe, secretary of the committee. Anglican Bishop John Moorman of Ripon, England who was an observer at the Second

Vatican Council headed the Anglican delegation. Pope Paul emphasized that charity and prayer are essential to the achievement of unity of belief. . "Union will have to be advanced by truth, by love and by prayer," he said in his Englishlanguage address, "and your center is certainly fostering these spiritual forces, just as we ourselves are endeavoring to foster them."

the Newman Apostolate on secular campuses, and adult education. Serves Community He accused the Catholic school system of allowing those who could afford the tuition to a~oid the problems of the inner-city. Calegari said he didn't have the answers, but that he wanted to challenge Catholic educators to come up with them. Earl Douglass, newly elected president ,of the archdiocesan board of education, said that Catholic education "serves the Catholic community which sponsors it and the larger community of which the Catholic is apart." "This idea is as old as the New Testament and as fresh as Vatican II," he said, referring to the concept of the Church as servant. Recent decisions of the board, he said, limited class size to 40, put Sisters' salaries at $150 per month, and set lay teachers salaries for the six archdiocesan high schools.

Names U. S. Bishop To Congregation VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has named seven bishops as members of the Congregation for the ,Causes of Saints, including Bishop George Guilfoyle of Camden, N. J. The appointments of the bishops to the congregation is in keeping with a new policy of the Holy See, requested by the Second Vatican Council, to expand membership of the Roman Curia, the top administrative offices of the Holy See, beyond only cardinal members. The congregation for the Causes of Saints, formerly part of the Congregation of Rites, became an independent congregation with the reform of the Curia set Into motion last year.

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-State aid for nonpublic schools was upheld by a federal three-judge panel here when it dismissed a suit challenging the constitutionality of a year-Old Pennsylvania statute. The 2-1 .decision approved the state law which provides for $21 million this year and $41 million next" year in state aid to non· public schools. Defense attorney William B. Ball of Harrisburg, Pa., told NC News Service that the decision is the first in the United States "upholding governmental funding directly to education in pa-· rochial schools:' Ball pointed out that the decision is partiCUlarly significant because "the case was intended by the groups which sponsored it as the national test case on public aid to parochial education. The court has given them a very strong and very clear answer:' The American Civil Liberties Union was one of the sponsoring plaintiffs. Judges E. Mac Troutman and Alfred L. Luongo, in their opin· ion, said: . "The fact that a state law, passed to satisfy a public need. coincides with the' personal desires of the individuals most directly affected, is certainly .an 'lito say inadequate reason that a legislature has erroneously appraised the, public ~eed:' I)

Grail Movement Marks Jubilee LOVELAND (NC)--Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati described the Grail Movement as "a true trailblazer" in the lay apostolate, the liturgical renewal and ecumenism as he joined the celebration of the 25th anniversary of its U. S. center, Grailville, here in Ohio. He offered Mass in the Grailville Oratory, a converted 125year-old barn which has drawn national attention for the beauty and simplicity of its design. Preaching at the Mass. Archbishop Leibold said the pioneering efforts of the women of the Grail had been "canonized" in the Second Vatican Council's documents on the liturgy, the laity and the ecumenical movement. He pointed out that their prepartaion for the things that were to come was under way "before Vatican II and before our modern liturgical revival." "We of the archdiocese are surely grateful to them and to • the Holy Spirit who inspired them to come," he said During the 25 years of the movement in the archdiocese, "it has proven consistently that these Christian qualities form the warp and woof of the Grail cloth," he said. An international movement of women organized in the early 19208 in Holland, the Grail's world headquarters is in Paris.

Children's Book Among Most Lasting Gifts under Tree

Books by Coretta Scott King, Father Ford Are Highlights

When all the battery-operated thingamajigs have expired and the innards of the talking, wetting, dancing dolls are scattered from here to the Christmas tree, the books will still be intact, and it will surprise no one if they're handed down to children and grandchildren, an unlikely future for an EZ-Bake oven or a cotton candy maker.

Two autobiographies are of special interest this season. One will undoubtedly become a "primary source" for future historians, "My Life with Martin Luther King, Jr." by Coretta Scott King (Holt, Rhinehart, Winston, $6.95). In loving detail it gives a wife's eye view of the man whom she says many blacks regarded as "The President of the Negroes." Beautiful phototion, works in a factory, or has graphs enhance the text and to support a poor and hungry as an added gift one comes family.

are the Paulist Press' Rejoice Books, .35 each, or a set of six for $2. Titles in Set One are Today, Why?, Earth and Sky, Thank You, Who Knows Me?, and Good Night. They're attractively illustrated and each begins with the salutation "Mark, be happy; Jane, be happy (or John or Betty, or Anne or whomever); here is the good news of the Lord Jesus." Very appealing. Also for the smallest are Concordia's Arch Books, also .35 each, six for $2. Done in rhyme, each is based on a Bible story and includes an explanatory note for parents. Joint Project Bibletimes Books for slightly older children are a joint project of Concordia and Paulist. Translated from Dutch, the initial four volumes tell the stories of Jeremiah, Isaiah, Moses and the Magi. The illustrations by Noni Lichtveld are captivating. And then there's "Stevie" by John Steptoe (Harper & Row, $3.50). Steptoe, 19, wrote and illustrated this beautiful book for 4 to 8 year aids. It's had wide critical notice, is being used on Channel Two's "Sesame Street," and easily passes the acid test-not just the parents but the children like it. Got it? Get it!

herd Bible Story Book" by A. C. Mueller (Concordia, $4.95); and Lippincott has reissued Dorothy Lathrop's "Animals of the Bible" ($3.75), which won the first Caldecott medal for children's picture books when it was first published in 1937. Earth and Sky Three charming picture books are also for the 4 to 8 age group. "Earth and Sky" by Mona Dayton with pictures by Roger Duvoisin (Harper & Row, $3.50) is a fanciful debate between sky and land as to which is superior. "The sky said, 'I have beautiful birds flying in me, making bird songs. And I have children swinging in me.' 'Ho, ho,' said the earth, 'where do you think the children grow.''' And so it goes to a satisfactory conclusion. Striking quite another note is "Sounder" by William H. Armstrong (Harper & Row, $3.95) for ages 12 and up. This is the poignant story of how prejudice affects one small Southern sharecropper's family, of how a boy was forced because of it to grow to manhood too fast, and of how the coon dog Sounder shares the family's sorrows. "Shepherdess of France" is a "remembrance" of Joan of Arc by Judith Masefield, daughter of England's poet laureate (Coward-McCann, $5.95). Writ-

admiration and love." For any age is "Celebrate the Sun" by Betty Nickerson (Lippincott, $6.95). It takes readers around the world to join in festivals from many countries, each illustrated with a child's drawing. As well as being a delightful picture book, this will almost certainly become a valuable reference volume. "The Little Cock" by Joseph Domjan (Lippincott, $4.95) is considered by its creator a major work. It's the retelling of a Hungarian folk tale, magnificently embellished with color and black and white woodcuts. Domjan holds the highest art award of Hungary, and was given the title "Master of the Color Woodcut," by China, a once-in-a-century honor. Frances the badger stars in "Best Friends for Frances," a nice little story about little sisters and "best boyfriends" by Russell Hoban with pictures by Lillian Hoban (Harper & Row, $2.95). Older Children Older children will like "I Saw Three Ships" by Elizabeth Goudge (Coward-McCann, $3.54 in library binding). It's a dreamlike tale of little Polly and her faith that the Wise Men would visit her English seaside cottage.

Cover Wide Range of Price, Topics Paperbacks used to represent the bargain basement of the publishing world, but that's no longer true. Not when "Celebration" by Father Clarence Rivers (Herder and Herder), a modestly sized volume, can command a price of $4.95. That's not to to share his growth and bring say the book isn't worth readers "some joy, and perhaps that, it's just a commentary peace." A sample: on the rising costs of pubI held a leaf the other daylishing as of all else. And "Celebration" is a good book, offered by Father Rivers as a "response to two requests that are repeatedly asked of me: 'Tell us how we can celebrate like that,' and 'Can I have a copy of that celebration?' " It begins with a consideration of why and how man celebrates and concludes with some sample celebrations, all with striking photographs, layouts and use of color. Barren Land "God Is Here - Let's Celebrate" by Leslie F. Brandt is a step down on the paperback price scale ($1.75, Concordia). It's a c{)llection of meditations based on selected psalms, done by a California minister. Then there's "Away the Barren Land," by Gordon Truitt (Theological College Publications, $2), a book of poetry which takes on special interest because its author, a deacon to be ordained next Spring, served last Summer in Corpus Christi parish, Sandwich. Poems reflect the life of a semiarian and aim

A fallen leaf-and, strange to say, The leaf its life had tried to hide By curling in upon itself. It died. "Lord Be With" by Herbert Brokering (Concordia, $1.95) marries meditative prayers to clippings of news and advertisements, often with striking effect. "The Living-Loving Genera.. tion" edited by Dan and Rose Lucey of Christian Family Movement f",me (Bruce, $1.95) should be of interest if only because all contributors but one hail from the wild and wonderful state of California, where ev路 erything is more so. Word from them is that what's "('xciting and revolutionary about the new teens is their desirp and willingness to reach out of themselves to love people everywhere, to respond to the challenge of growing up in one of the most demanding and frustrating periods in history." "We have no sage bits of advice," write a doctor and his wife. "We are not going to suggest that you stay out of parked cars, take along a chaperone, or

practice some magical devotion designed to overcome temptations. We suggest only that you search, in prayer and honesty." 'Love, Sexuality' A more abstract treatment of the relationship of Christian love to modern sexual attitudes is provided by John and Mary Ryan in "Love and Sexuality" (Image Books, .95); and we're back to the thoroughly practical in "A Boy's Sex Life: A Handbook of Information and Guidance" by Rev. William J. Bausch (Fides, $2.25). This latter is directed toward the boys themselves and is frank, direct and really helpful. "The Making of the Christian Church by Richard Zphnle (Fides, $2.50) is for the student of church history and examines the why and how of the early Church, using primary sources as interpreted by today's scholars. The author is assistant professor of religious studies at Canisius College. Contrary to what some may think, S1. Thomas Aquinas is still with us and it's still worthwhilp to publish him, or you can bet that Doubleday wouldn't be doing it. Newest in the Doubleday Image series of the Summa Theologaie: Vol. I, Part One; and Vol. 2, Part One, ($1.45 each). They employ the Blackfriars translation and their general editor is Thomas Gilby, D.P.

Adoration of the Christ Child is the Christmas theme

Washington Trek Reca lied in Book An 11 - year - old reviews "Marchers for the Dream" by Natalie Savage Carlson (Harper and Row, $3.50, for ages 9 to 12): This book was about an 11year-Old black girl named Bethany who goes to Resurrection City with her grandma to march in the Poor People's March. The reason they go is because the wrecking ball is about to destroy their home and they go to protest peacefully the fact that even with a law against this, people are still prejudiced against Negroes. Consequently they can't find a home. Same Problems At the March Bethany and Grandma find friends with the same problems as themselves: no education, no jobs, no food and no homes. All this because of the dreadful sin that they were Negroes. Bethany went home feeling nothing had been accomplished. But very soon something was, for grandma started a Poor People's March in their own town. Some people joined in and it turned out to be a big success. Their pictures were in the paper and they got much publicity. One man, who had been afraid to rent to Negroes because he was afraid of the treament they would receive from neighbors, offered them a house at a low rent. And Bethany learns she was wrong to judge all white people on some prejudiced ones. This book is dynamite and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Looking for a Place "I have just three children, three is all I have," my mother told the landlord. "No, seven," I said. "Shut u'P," she hissed. "Do you want to live in a tent?" I wondered if I was one of the three she meant. From "Looking for a Place," by Richard J. Margolis (Lippincott, $3.95)

Walking's Thing To Give You Zing "Walking is the exercise that needs no gym. It is the prescription without medicine, the weight control without diet, the cosmetic that is sold in no drugstore. It is the tranquilizer without a pill, the therapy without a psychoanalyst, the fountain of youth that is no legend. A walk is the vacation that does not cost a cent," Try that on your youngsters who demand to be chauffeured to school, Scouts, even to their

gym club, for heaven's sake. Try it on yourself when you jump in the car to mail a letter or go to the two-blocks-away variety store for a loaf of bread. If you remain unconvinced, read the rest of "The Magic of Walking," by Aaron Sussman and Ruth Goode, just issued in paperback by Simon and Schuster for $2.95. It would convert a statue. Walk to your bookstore and take a look at it.

Author Describes Death of Wife "For You Departed" by Alan Paton (Scribners, $5.95) inevitably invites comparison with C. S. Lewis' "A Grief Observed." Both are about the deaths by cancer of the authors' wives, both are exquisitely crafted. But whereas Lewis described his initial rebellion against God at the sight of his wife's suffering, the mood of the Paton book is acceptance. Lewis confines himself to the emotions and events surrounding his loss, but Paton makes of his book a slight but beautiful autobiography, emphasizing especia l1y the part he and his wife played in the unremitting struggle against South Africa's policy of apartheid. There is no need to comment on the style of the author of "Cry, the Beloved Country." An excerpt illustrates it, as it also gives an unforgettable picture of the agonies accompanying the last stages of emphysema and cancer. "I asked you to give up smoking for the wrong reason. I asked you to do it for my own comfort and convenience. I should have asked you for quite another reason, that it would destroy your lungs, and cause you to end your life in continuous distress, and cause that terrible rhythm, of a box rising, staying up a moment, then falling with a bang till it rose again, a spasm that made the heart of the watcher fit to break."

Unusual Photos

A note on typography: instead of quotation marks, italics are used to indicate direct quotes. It's an effective device, lifting into importance every spoken word.

A footnote to America history is "The Black Frontiersmen" by J. Norman Heard (John Day, $3.95), a popularization of the author's doctoral thesis on the relationship between Negroes and American Indians between 1528 and 1918. Unusual photographs illustrate the book, including one of children attached to the band of the Apache raider, Geronimo. Taken in 1886, the picture shows, as well as Indian youngsters, white and Negro children captured by the Apaches.

In days of ecclesiastical turmoil it is helpful in many ways to look back over the course of church history and aiding in this is the newly published second volume of "The Christian Centuries" by M. David Knowles and Dimitri Obolensky (McGrawHill, $15). The volume covers the seventh to 15 centuries and is handled topically rather than chronologically by the authors.

Review History

MRS.. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

King, herself a musician and lecturer of note, as a woman of "character, intelligence, personality and beauty," King's description of her when they first met. "A Degree of Difference: Memoirs of George Barry Ford" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $5.95) is the often startlingly frank autobiography of the pastor emeritus of Corpus' Christi parish, New York City. For many years chaplain to Catholic students at Columbia University, Father Ford was ever a maverick, and in retirement he is devoting himself to projects of national and international interest. Also speaking to the need for a broad overview is "The Ro路 man Catholic Church" by John McKenzie, S.J. (Holt, Rinehart. Winston, $6.95). It's described by the publishers as "an indepth look at the Church's structure, worship, belief and works" and that it is, all laced with the famous McKenzie brand of acerb wit. Family Prayer At least one family is using "Sidewalk" by William M. Barbieri and Algimantas Kezys (Maryknoll, $4.95) as a prayerbook and finding it a springboard to meaningful discussion. It's a combination of carefully

REV. JOHN McKENZIE, S.J. chosen photographs and informal meditations. For example, one starts: "I'd like to pray to you, Lord, not to the other one. He is our inventiun. We'vp created him so that we who call ourselves Christians coulcl choose our Christ. "Our Lord is the Christ of pious songs, mushy sermons, pretty pictures. He is a Christ who never crosses an intersec-

can see him. As though you aren't in our brothers, Lord." Then there's "The Gospel according to Madison Avenue" by Ray Hutchinson (Bruce, $4.95), a wicked and witty series of thrusts at Catholic advertising for such items as religious salt and peppers, S1. Jude pens and fundraising drives for any and all worthy purposes. Elizabeth Goudge fans will enjoy "The Ten Gifts" (CowardMcCann, $6.95), a collection of excerpts from her novels illustrating such gifts as love, wonder, beauty, delight and faith. And Don Camillo fans will rejoice in the first DOll Camillo book for five years, unfortunately to be the last, snce Giovanni Guareschi died last year. "Don Camillo Meets the Flower Children" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $5.95) is the story of how the redoubtable pastor deals with a young curate "determined to install the entirety of the Council's reforms in the parish within 24 hours," a flower child of a niece and a gang of Hell's Angels, Italian style. Little Woman Clarissa Start i~ a columnist for the St. Louis Post路Dispatch <lnll "Never Underestimate the Little Woman" (Concordia, $4.95) is a cheerful antidote to motheritis.

'New Think' Author Discusses Concept Of Mind as Marvelous Computer If you can't get the answer to a problem, maybe you shouldn't keep digging the same hole deeper-maybe you should dig a new hole. That was a major insight gleaned form Edward de Bono's book, "New Thin k," by many readers. Sounds simple, but it really works. So when a new book by de Bono arrived it was turned to with eagerness. The insight of "The tauro (Harper and Row, $3.95). And another soothing thing is Mechanism of Mind" (Simon It's a happening all in itself of collecting antiques. For those and Schuster, $5.95) is that art and type and color and now enjoying this hobby, "The Treasand then a word or phrase ury of New England Antiques" minds are like computers, offering their owners a memory surface which organizes itself into "significant patterns," hut possesses inherent defects by very reason of its virtues. Dr. de Bono suggests methods of getting around these defects. A stimulating, exciting book. What would Jesus do if he were a politician today? This is the question examined by JeanMarie Paupert in "The Politics of the Gospel" (Holt, Rinehart, Winston, $4.95), which is prefaced by Daniel Berrigan, S.J., who contemplates the death of Thomas Merton and its effect upon radical Christians such as Berrigan himself. And Some Peace But all life isn't struggle and chaos. "Stillmeadow Album" by Gladys Taber with photographs by Jacques Chepard (Lippincott, $6.95) proves that. In word and picture she introduces the reader to Stillmeadow Farm in deepest Connnecticut, surely the most written-about piece of property in the land.

bi George Michael (Hawthorn Books, $7.95, $10 after Christ路 mas) is certain to please. It's full of photographs and comprises a collector's guide for auction-goers. \\That to say about "One Circus, Three Rings, Forever and Ever, Hooray!" by Joseph Pm-

EDWARD DE BONO

nudges out at you, Marshall McLuhan style. Fun. And Contrast How do you feel about your family? If you sometimes think it couldn't be worse, all noisy untidy children and all that goes with it, read "A Man's Home Is His Hassle" by P. J. Laux (Bruce, $4.95) and rejoice. Your problems, whatever they are, are dwarfed by his struggles with "eight intrepid children and four reca Icitrant bathrooms." If on the other halIo you're pretty proud of your br'Jud, maybe you need some humility. Read "Great Dav~ for thl' F, mily" by Harold 1. BelguJ11 (Concordia, $3.95) and realize hLow many feasts you aren't obsprving, how many family traditions have somehow slipped by you. Seriously, this is a book jammed with wonderful suggestions for prayers, ceremonies and activities to promote family unity. Too bad if religious activities are always something done outside the home; here's the chance to move things inside too.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI has chosen Melbourne, Australia, as the site for the 40th International Eucharistic Congress to be celebrated in 1973. Although Pope Paul has at· tended both of the international Eucharistic congresses held duro ing his reign, Vatican sources said that it is far too early to speculate on papal attendance at an event about four years in the future. The choice of Melbourne was made after various proposals had been made and studied by the permanent committee for the international Eucharistic congresses.

Church Council Chooses Forst Woman Head

Charge Students' NEW YORK (NC) - Four Fordham University students, acting in response to a letter from the university administration, have surrendered to detectives in the Bronx and were charged in. connection with the occupation of a campus building in November. All four were booked on charges of criminal trespass and criminal mischief. District Attorney Burton B. Roberts of the Bronx said the four were among 14 who were informed in letters sent by Thomas McKeever, in charge of security at Fordha.m, that they were being sought by police in connection with their alleged activities on the. campus on Nov. 12.

DETROIT (NC) - Mrs. Theodore O. Wedel of Washington, D. C., is the first woman president of the National Council of Churches. She has been elected at the triennial general assembly of the interdenominational Protestant and Orthodox body here. Dr. R. H. Edwin Espy was reelected general secretary. Both defeated black candidates for the two top posts. Mrs. Wedel, an Episcopalian, received 387 votes against 93 for Rev. Albert B. Cleage, militant Detroit pastor of the United Church of Christ. Time Is Short Dr. Espy, an American Baptist layman who has held. the top job since 1963, won 382 to 100 over Rev. Leon Watts, New York, an African Methodist Episcopal Zion minister employed by the New York Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church. The defeated candidates of the Natioi181 Committee of Black Churchmen, an ecumenical organization committed to black empowerment in the churches, made statements from the floor after the results were announced. Mr. Cleage thanked those who had supported him, particularly the NCBC, which he said "represents renewal in the black church." Noting growing differences between the younger, militant black churchmen and the older leadership of the all-black de-. nominations, he said: "I want to tell you that the time that remains for you to preside over your black churches is short." Addressing what he termed the "white leadership" the Detroit pastor asserted: "You'd better malse the most of these negro churchmen while you've got them because we're going to take those churches away from them." Militant blacks use the word "Negro" as a scornful reference to non-militant blacks. "You don't know how to react," the defeated candidate continued in his impromptu address. "You don't have any sensitivity. You don't know how it feels to die in a war that you're opposed to." He scored the assembly for failing to respond to demands of black people, Ind,an Americans, Spanish Americans and others. "This National Council of Churches is anti-Christ," he continued. "Until the young people and oppressed people take over this organization you will be anti-Christ." 'Valid' Criticism But he added: "I hope you are still together in three years, because I'm going to stay here and work with you and try to help make you Christian." At a press conference later, Mrs. Wedel concurred' in part with Mr. Cleage's criticism of the NCC's racial stance. "I don't think the council has lived up to our responsibility as Christians. I think we can do very much better," she said.. She agreed that some of the criticism she had leveled against the council "are valid."

Directs Boys Home COVINGTON (NC) - Father Ralph C. Hartman, editor of the Messenger, Covington diocesan newspaper, has been named director of the Campbell Lodge Home for Boys, Cold Spring, Ky.

Trespas~

On that day, students protesting the Reserve Officer Training Corps program on the campus staged a seven-hour sit-in in the executive offices of the administration· building and battled with security guards. Some of the students fled when police arrived while others remained. Six students were immediately arrested and charged. They were paroled for a hearing on Dec. 17 after promising they would not disrupt campus life unlawfully. Roberts said that 10 students who have not yet surrendered wili be given a reasonable time in which to do so. "Failing that, they will be arrested by memo bel'S of the 52nd Squad.

$PECIAL MEANING: Adaptation of the liturgy in the new Order of the Mass seeks to help us make our worship a more spiritual beneficial reality in our lives. As Christ at the Last Supper uttered words with special meaning to his hearers, so too the new Order of the Mass permits adaptation through a variety of Biblical readings, special prayers and specific intentions for our spiritual benefit. NC Photo.

New Mass Unity Replaces Uniformity

As Dominant Characi'eristic "What are they doing to the Mass? Time was when it was always the same, no matter where it might be celebrated in the world." How often has this remark been made since the end of Vatican Council II? Uniformity, especially in externals, had been that hallmark of the eucharistic liturgy since the Council of Trent 400 years ago, when the council Fathers, for disciplinary reasons, froze the Mass in a well-defined structure and encased it in the dead language of Latin. Today, amid the liturgiql1 changes which have taken place since the end of .Vatican II, unity rather than uniformity is the dominant characteristic of the Mass. The Mass today has recaptured some of the adaptability and flexibility which it enjoyed in the Church's first 1,600 years before the Council of Trent. Perhaps the best way to describe the new Order of the Mass soon to be introduced is to say that it allows for the development of a theme for each Mass through the selection of optional hymns, scriptural readings, prefaces and eucharistic prayers, commentary and music. By intelligent preparation and through the use of multiple options, a thematic unity will now be possible within each· Mass geared to the particular needs of

the worshiping groups and to the needs of the times. Help Particular Group The traditional Roman Missal, which is now being replaced by the new Order of the Mass, canonized uniformity to' such an extent that the Mass could not easily be adopted to specialized groups. Whether the worshipers were young or old, suburban or inner city, blue-collar or executive, the Mass was always the same. In using the new Order of the Mass, the criterion for choosing among the various options in preparing a specific Mass will be how this Mass will help this particular .group of people enter into communication with God and with one another. People, after all, do belong to specific cultures and ethnic groups. Each group has its own personality.' Liturgy, thus, ought to be immersed in the culture, symbols, ritual and mentality of the people. Thematic unity is not some· thing new. We already have had a taste of it in nuptial Masses, funeral Masses, the Christmas Mass, the Holy Week .liturgy, or more recently, this year's new Thanksgiving Mass.

The Best' Gift Maria wakes up to the sound of the bells at the bottom of the mountainside. "It must be midnight," she thinks as she shakes off her sleep. Her mother lighlls the oil lamp, tthen wakes the other seven children still snugglled together on the dirt floor <!f their home -a dilapidated shack. Maria waits till everyone is kneeling around the homeml:lde manger sc<ell1e. She takes a piece of straw; gets a flame from the lamp, and lights the smwl vigil candle n<ext to the crib. Th<en, silently and reverenUy, she puts the Babe in the manger. The family exchanges Christmas wishes and small gifts of fruit or candy that have been carefully saved for tonight's fies~a. "Feliz Navidad"-"Merry Christmas"-rings throughout the tiny house! ..This Latin American Christmas is probably very different from the one you wUl be eelebrating at home with your family. There are no bright lights, no plastic reindeer, no gaily decorated packages here. Yet, by their poverty, Christ is truly present In the hearts of these poor folk. But in many far-off mission countries, Christmas will not be celebrated at all! There are still millions of people who do not know of the Babe of Bethlehem. Millions who do not realize that their Savior, ~he Prince of the World, has come. In other places there will simply be an exchange of Christmas greetings. No one CM afford gifts here - tIl1ey can blilrely scrounge enough crumbs to stay a11lve. Yet, in still other areas, there will be Christmas gifts-gifts of medicine, bandages, food, and old clothes distributed by missionaries. Strange presents, perhaps, but precious to those whose daily struggle is one of survival. You, who support the Society. for the Propagation of the Faith, make these gifts possible. Your generous sacrifices--at a time when your own cost of living increases dail)'-are transformed into gifts of love sent to nil those in need. Unfortunately, you will not see the delight on the faces of Christ's poor who are so helped by you. But your faith will tell you it is there. What better gill't could you r£ceive this Christmas than to know that your sacrifice is bringing hope and courage to mankind? No gift under YOUir tree ean compare wUh the real joy of knowing t h a t . . Do not let this Christmas go by without sending your special gift to the missions. Thank you!

A Real Close ~Shoot-Out' For BCL Court ClubsAt the beginning of each Bristol County League basketball season, Durfee High of Fall River is inevitably designated as "the team to beat." The powerful Hilltoppers, who' have won eight championships in nine years under Coach Tom Karam, again are ex. pected to be in the thick of be a dearth of crafty cagers .I Th d f d' using scoring as the basis of t he tit e race. e e en 109 judgment. However, the Bristol champs posted a perfect 14- • county circuit, one of the tough-

o mark

a year ago. Durfee is, of course, the preseason choice of the prognosticators, but those closest to the county scene expect New Bedfford, Attleboro and New Bedford Vocational to be in contention all the way. Both Taunton and, Inter-city rival, Msgr. Coyle High are rated as 'darkhorse' threats. Bishop Feehan of Attleboro and Bishop Stang of Dartmouth appear weaker than other county clubs this time around. But, as one mentor says, "Ad. mittedly, there is an upper and lower bracket in the league this year. But, if we have an offnight, any club can beat us. On a good night we'll beat anyone in the le~gue." Only six players topped the 200-point plateau in the last campaign. Kevin Phelan of Stang led· the -loop with 297 points. He was followed by Phil Si:nitH'o("Taunton 217, New Bedf(;td's Tom Farias 216 and Jim Maho.neY of Starig 206. Marc Forbeg!'score'd '205 for Attleboro an'd··'B·nr Malone had 205 for Coyle. The league's most prolific scorers have all graduated. It looks as though there could

est in the Commonwealth, always produces an abundance of talent. this season should be no different. The fortunes of Coach Karam's Fall River quintet will fall on the shoulders of two potential 'stars,' Lewis and Hooker. Jim Lewis, a five-foot, four-inch Senior, reportedly can 'shoot the eyes out of the basket.' He has already won a starting berth and now is waiting to prove that a small-man still has a place in basketball. Karam will probobly use Dave Hooker in the pivot slot. The 6'4" center, improving daily, will have to handle the rebounding duties if the champions are to continue their BCL domination. Captain AI Herren· and Mike Fleming, both about 6'1 ", can be counted upon to use their experience in steadying an expected smooth and deliberate combination. The remaining guard job is still up for grabs in a heated comp·etition. On paper, Durfee is not as strong as it has been many times in the past, but, no one familiar with the BCL will count-out the perennial titlists.

New Bedford Aims to Dethrone Durfee Coach Sal Lombardo, starting his second season at the helm, may have enough talent at New Bedford High to dethrone their traditional Fall River arch rivals. Lombardo, like every other area coach, will have to go without last Winter's most capable players. But, he still has the nucleus to capture the championship for New Bedford. The Crimson Whalers will rely on 6'7" Bob Costa to control the backboards, one of the most important roles in every contest. Steve Gomes and Ed Livramento will· operate at the forward posts with Ron Baptiste directing the offense from his backcourt position. Lombardo is expecting considerable help from last season's junior varsity team which, unquestionably, was the class of the junior circuit. At the northern end of the county, veteran Coach Jim Cassidy has two of the best big men in the loop in Tom Hart and Terry Anderston. Both boys are strong on the boards and score well from underneath. Cassidy's prime task is finding a' pair of capable backcourt men to keep <0

his sharp-eyed' scorers continually busy. A decade ago two brothers led a determined New Bedford Vocational basketball team into Boston Garden where the Trade fought valiantly before faltering in the Class A Tech tournament finals. The Artisans have been longing for a return to the basketball spotlight. This may be the year. Once again the, burden will fall on the shoulders of a Gomes. If Tommy snaps back from a serious knee injury which required surgery, he could very well take over where his brothers left off. A brilliant. shooter and ball handler Tommy can do everything on the court when he's healthy. With Mike Gomes, Sam Delgargo, Bob Desrosiers and Gary Pope along with additional back-up talent, Coach Ed Lowney's Trade is once again in contention. The big question is Gomes' leg. One BCL mentor believes "If Tommy Gomes is back at full strength then Vocation will go all the way."

Di@ceSOln C~ubs in Rebuilding Stage In Taunton, Coach Steve Winslow, in his first year at Coyle, appears to have plenty of potential but no proven ballplayers. Alan Rich and John Witkowski are the only returning lettermen. However, the new coach has

good-size and fine shooters coming up from the junior varsity. West Paluga and Phil Lemieus have the inside· track on the guard slots. Big 6'5" Mike Roy is the leading contender for the post. Coach Winslow hopes to

48..Yard Field Goal New Record for Owls with blood pouring from the wound, still mal)liged to gain a second place finish. He sat out a couple of meets--doctor's orders-but returned to finsh out the season. "He's a real courageous boy," said track coach George Milot at the time. Thankfully, the injury failed to end his athletic career. Southern Connecticut freshman coach Ray DeFrancesco topped the list of "most pleased." John Moore is likely to express his thanks next season.

By Luke' Sims Southern Connecticut State College, which struggled through a disastrous 1-8-0 football season, may have been one individual shy of improving 'that record by at least two games. Steve Kelley, who used his right foot ,to'lead the Owl freshmen to, a winning season, could very well have used the same formula to improve the varsity slate. The former Bishop Stang High School football star was used as a flanker back on the Southern freshman squad and handled all the kicking. assignments. Field goals were his specialty. The 6-2, 180 pound first year man displayed his educated toe early in the season when he boomed a 48-yarder in an 18-8 triumph of Norwalk Community College. The successful threepointer was a new school record. Two of the varsity's eight setbacks were by less than three points, 17-16 to Bridgeport and 19-17 to Glassboro State. Another was, by.:a touchd.owh; 2721 to Adelphi. With Kelley on the sidelines, Coach John Moore's "gambling" techniques would have been limited. As a flanker, Steve got off to a sizzling start with six rec.eptions for 64 yards in the first three games. Kelley was a two-sport athlete at Bishl)p Stang, starring in football and track. As a member of Charlie Connell's gridiron crew, he was used as a wide end on offense and safety man on defense. He also handled all the kicking assignments. Steve developed his speed as a member of. George Milot's track team where he competed in the 220-yard dash. During his senior year he won the Bristol f1'"11W"Il'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''I"",''''''t>lfl'Il\''',,,,,,,\,"tl'.ltlllttrt,"'.·""",,,,y

use his veterans as a steadying influence on the newcomers. Tom Bradshaw, Bob Abbot and Leo Schliecher' are still fighting for starting assignments. Across town,. 'Coach Bob Ready 'focusing his attention on Len' Miidhell, Alan PeabodS' and Dan Lynch to lead the Taunton Tigers, hoping they can take up the slack caused by the graduation of sharpshooter Phil Smith. Coaches John O'Brien and Jerry Cunniff at Stang and Feehan have been hard hit by graduation. . O'Brien's Dartmouth club has two returning lettermen in the backcourt, Junior Gerry Kavanaugh and Senior John Mills. The veteran coach will have to go with material coming up from the junior varsity in the other three starting positions. At Feehan, Coach Cunniff, in his first year at the Attleboro school, will try to build for future years by employing as many underclassmen as possible in varsity competition. Neither Stang. nor Feehan are rated as contenders but each, in keeping with tradition is posed and ready to take on the"powerhouses." In the circuits curtain raisers on Jan. 2, Attleboro will be at New Bedford Vocational, Feehan at Taunton, Durfee will host Stang and Coyle will play at New Bedford. ,
