12.21.61 by The Anchor

'Tht:. Ch.nil.>.tmal.>. Stonll Long before that day a decree had been issued by order of Caesar Augustus that a census of the whole world should be taken. This census was the first to ·take place while Cyrinus was in charge of Syria. Accordingly, the people went, each to the cHyof his ancestor, to be registered; and so Joseph, too, being a member of the house and family of David, went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to David's town in Judea, called Bethlehem" in order to be registered. He was accompanied by his espoused wife Mary, who was with child. '. In the course of their stay there, the time came foil" her delivery; and she gave birth to her first-born son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no accommodation for them an the lodging. In the same region shepherds were camping in the open and keeping watch over their flocks by night. Suddenly, 'an angel of the Lord stood facing them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them,' so that they were struck with terror. liDo not fear," the angel said to them. "Listen: I am bringing 'you good .news of great joy which is in store for the whole no.tion. A Savior, who is the Lord Messias, was born to you today in David's town! . II And this will serve you as a token: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and cradled in a manger. H All of a sudden, the angel was joined by a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God with the strain: "Glory to God in the heavens above, and on earth peace to men of good will." When at last the angels had withdrawn from them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another: "Let us go over to Bethlehem and find OtJt the truth about this thing the Lord has made known to us." So they set off in haste, anq sought out Mary and Joseph and the infant cradled in a manger. And when they saw them, they made known what had been told them about this little child. All those who heard the account given them by the shepherds expressed surprise, while Mary treasured all these incidents and meditated on them in her heart. At last the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising, God for everything they had heard and which afterwards was seen to be j'Ust as they had been told.

.Minister Commends View on Red ThIT'eat CHICAGO (NC) - The Vatican's awareness of the communIst threat to ·world peace surpasses that of many liberal Protestants, a Protestant spokesman declared. Rev. Thomas F. Zimmerman of Springfield, Mo., told a ~eet ing of the executive committee of the National Association of Evangelicals in suburban Wheaton the Vatican radio warned that the Kremlin is usjng Russian church membership in the World Council of Churches "for purely political purposes." Noting that the Russian Orthodox church of. the Soviet Union was admitted to WCC membership at the council's assembly in New Delhi, India, he added: "In contrast many liberal Protestant leaders in the WCC are assuring constituents that .the Russian church had joined the group for purely Christian' reasons."

by a leading Protestant magazine. . The Presbyterian Journal, published in Asheville, N. C., in an editorial written by Rev. G. Aiken Taylor, said the possible control of the WCC has been conceded by a number of U. S. Protestant leaders especially since the Russian Orthodox church of the Soviet Union was admitted to membership at the council's assembly' in New Delhi. in the U. S., for in the space of

Pope to De,liver Message Today . Pope John XXIII will deliver his annual Christmas message to llhe world today at 2 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. The Holy Father will celebrate Christmas Midnight Mass in the Vatican's Clementine Chapel for diplomats accredited to the Holy See. This is the traditional sign of the Pope's concern for all nations as personified in their diplomatic representatives. It is expected that the date for the forthcoming General Council of the Church will be . announced on Christmas Day in the four basqicas of Rome:

The Bishop will invest with the robes of Domestic Prelates of His Holiness four pastors of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Leonard J. Daley of Hyannis, Rt. Rev. E. S. DeMello of Taunton, Rt. Rev. William H. Harrington of Fan River, and Rt. Rev. Francia McKeon of Taunton. Receiving the Papal Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Medal will be Miss Helen F. Burns of Fall River,' for 32 years a socia:L worker in the Fall River Catholic Welfare Office. The Bishop will invest seven lay leader,g of the Diocese witl1l the insignia of Papal Knighto of St. Gregory the Great. They are Dr. John C. Corrigan of Fall River, Joseph E. Fernandes of Norton, Philip Hemingway Sr. of New Bedford, Norman F. Hochu of Fall River, Dr. Clement C. Maxwell of Taunton, George M. Montle of Fall River, and Eugene F. Phelan of Ma.ttapoisett.

Rev. Mr. Zimmerman said that Protestants should heed the Vatican Radio warning and "realize the Soviets are, using the last remnants of reli~ion which they permit to exist to achieve their own goals." A warning .that . the, World Council of Churches could be taken over by churches behind the Iron Curtain has been issued'

We pray that man may renew his faith in the rewarding message of the First Christmas. May man again find the true spiritual , inspiration and guidancG that will light his path to Peace, Good-Will and Happiness.

Public and Public l

The legal department of the National Catholic Welfare Conf,erence has Pointed out 'many instances ,where, tp:e Federal Government could, within the provisions of the Constitution of the United States as. evidenced in. laws passed by Congress and decision rendered by the .Supreme Court, assist Church-related institutions in the non-religious aspects of their public service. Government support can constitutionally be directed toward neutral items of expense which are substantially the same in public and non-public schools. An interesting side-light of this is the way in which opponents of such aid use words. A slogan going the rounds in such circles says, "public funds for public schools." This is as neat an example as can be found of one word being used in two senses. Public funds are those monies collected by law from' all, citizens without any choice on their part. Public schools are those schools ·of only one school system in this country which makes constitutional provision, for no federal school system but which recognizes and guarantees the right of parents to educate their children in anyone of the available schools systems of the' nation - public or private or parochial. • Monies collected by' law from all the people cer~nly should support ~ll of the available schools systems -:... public and private and parochial in the non-sectarian services provided by all three systems'

ANGUS'

Advises Parents How to Repress Shocking Words By Audrey Palm Riker The dark-haired mother' hugs her young son as she adjusts his best white shirt and snap-on bow tie. They are enacting lm old game in which mother previews anything unusuaI' or exciting that will happen that day. "First we'll have breakfast, Jimmie." "Want bacon!'" he replies. '!'hen what'!" "Then Aunt Carol, Uncle John. and Bill will come," motherr answers. "Okay;" he says. "Then what?" "Then," his mother smiles happily, "we'll all ride together to Grandma and Grandpa's house." "Oh, damn!"· Jimmie explodes. He has plans to assemble his truck {fleet and plastic .". soldiers for a grand mock battle this morning. A visit to Grandma's will wreck the day for him. Jimmie is five. He started kindergarten a few months ago, and already his parents notice a distinct swagger in his walk and a bossy assurance in his talk. He' feels big and important--brave enough to try out a word he has heard and already used to awe his friends. What makes youngsters pick up and retain-often with marvelous accuracy - a string of blasphemous or blue - tinged words? Parents blame it OD school, teachers blame it on parents, and children blame it on other children. But there is no single cause. Many youngsters, boys in particUlar, go through stages of experimenting with tough, abusive language. Two-year-old vocabularies expand rapidly and toddlers begin to realize that words can be used as powerful weapons in place of fists and shovels. Three and four year olds are fond of bathroom words and use ·them as' hilarious jokes or cutting insults. By six,. SOme youngsters boast a -startlirig collection of fourletter words. And by nine;' many children use sex terminology for shameful o~ dirty gibes. . . These . suggestions ma7 help you understand' ahd handle any urlwelct>me ,vocabulary ~pan sian. ;""'Start early and give 'your toddler accurate names for the elimination process. Talk of bladder, bowel movement, urination and feces. Encourage him to use these phrases freely at home in referring to natural functions and try to avoid aD7 suggestion that such words are unusual, naught7 or bad. Later, use the same wholesome approach in answering questions about sex. -Don't be angry or amused when you hear that first shocker. There is wicked pleasure in doing the forbidden and your child is sure.to be. flattered that he ~an provoke a full-scale reaction. He'U deflate faster when he realizes that you're neither impressed nor bowled over by his daring. -Remember, even the most offensive words have different meanings for you and your child. He's testing them for "parent shock value," often without the foggiest notion of what they mean, and you're responding out of 'your past experience and' a very clear understanding of their meaning..Explain the real affront of blasphemy in relation to the second commandment.' :-Help your child find better ways to blow 'off feelings of tension and' an~er.

The old -time remedy at. mouthwashing ,with yellow soap is humiliating and has dubious value. Parental example, a minimum of indignant reaction, and s' firm but kind explanation that such words are plain bad manners will usually cure colorful language.

Cites State Right ToOffer National Health Insurance By.'Msgr.' George

G. Higgins

DirectM. NCWC Social Action . " Department

During the next.session of. the Congress there will almost certainly be a full-dress .debate·on the subject of nation health insurance. It is ,none too early to star,t examin,;, ing the issUes involved in' this debate. We have duty as responsible citizens, to look at the problem calmly, and, as Cath~. olics, we have a duty to base our conclusions on social teaching of the Church. The following' dis- ' cussion of the problem is intended only as a stimulant to further thought. Its conclusions are tentative and are advanced merely' as an invitation to enlightened -as opposed to emotional-debate and discussion. In the first place, Catholics will want to make a clear distinction in their .own mind and Christmas Is the Peace' of a Mother and Child in their public utterances on the sub j e c t between "socialized: Mrs. Henry Bacon and son Michael Richard of St. George's parish, medicine" and ·public health inWestport.

Referenees Pope Plus XI, building on Leo's basic principle, refers explicitly'to public health insurance and gives it his approval as a legitimate (and, under certain circumstances, a necessary) type of governm!'!ntal action. His words are to be found in the encyclical on Atheistic Communism: "But social justice cannot be said to have been satisfied as long as workingmen ... cannot make suitable provision through public or private insurance for old age, for periods of illness and unemployment." Equally direct references to the same subject can be found in the Encyclical on Christian Marriage, in the· 1919 Past6ral Letter of the American Hierarchy" and again in Cardinal Mooney's introduction to the 20th anniversary printing of the latter document. More recently Pope John XXIII in his encyclical, Mater et Magistra (Christianity and Social Progress), has reaffirmed the . right of 'the government tei es-

tablish a system of health insu.... ance. , Church Teaching.' CleM Let there be no misunder~ standing about the meaning of the foregoing paragraphs. For. the purpo'ses of this discussion, the necessity of public health insurance at the present time is beside the point. As far as this discussion goes, public health insurance mayor may not be necessary-and, if it is necessary, the current bill may or may not be satisfactory. These 'and other debatable issues will be dealt with in another column. The only point at this time is that no one may deny. to the State the right to enact a program of public health insurance when circumstances call for. ·such a program. The· teaching of the Church on this initial phase of the subject is unmistakably clear.

Dr. Tom Dooley Book Stresses Charity Work

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of F=all River-Thurs., Dec. 21 .. 1861

Unnecessary Provocation The side of Dr. Dooley which irked not a few is shown in references to his imperiousness, his ,courting of publicity, the flippant and intent~onal1y shocking talk in which he often indulged. ,Stressed, too, is a theme which figured frequently in his conversation. and public speeches: namely, that he was not as he put it, "in the business of c~nverting anybody to anything." This idea, if properly expressed, is readily understandable and entirely unobjection~ble; But when it is put tilus; We are not out to make mack'erel-&napping Irish Catholics out of happy, contented BUddhists," and when the author explains that, as this was said, the speaker "turned to a prominent Catholic priest seated on the' dais" one can appreciqte that unnecessary provocation and annoyance were , given. 'l:Ila~d on Catholics' A very close associate points out that, in screening applicants ,for the work, "he was particularly hard on Catholics and others with pronounced religious training or convictions." Perhaps this person has not expressed with exactitude or grace what he means or what Dr. Dooley had in mind. But the statement, as it stands is peculiar indeed. ' There are hints as to the reservations which certain observ'ers entertained when considering Dr. Dooley, his undertakings and

over the world and became a figure as controverted as he was celebrated. There now appears a book. Before I Sleep ... (Farrar, Stral,ls and CUdahy. $4.50),' which assembles various people's impressions of the young physician and humanitarian in the months between his opera tion for cancer in August, 1959 and his death in January, 1961 at the age of 34. It is edited by James Monahan. 'The title is taken from a well-loved poem by Robert Frost which says, in part, "But I have promises to keep, I And miles to go before I sleep." Dr. Dooley well knew that his illness might be fatal, and he knew before others, that it was in fact fa tal. • He did not abandon his efforts to bring medical care to the peoples of the East, and especially Laos, but persisted in working, travelling, lecturing, begging until liimost the eve of' his death.' He kept his promises before he slept. : SaID,t. ,C,",rla~D I , " More time must pass before his aims 'and achievements can':" be : definitively asSe's'sed. There, were those whO pronounced hiin a saint, others who all but de'I1ounced him as a charlatan. To some 'his personality was appealing, to others it was just the reverse.

Be 'Mindful of th~ Joylels

God Love You By M~t Rev,. Fulton J. Sheen, D~ D. '"

What eontrasts appear at Christmas! The ro,well' of, God wrapped in the swaddling bonds of humanity; Eternity in ,time; The Word, wordless; a humble-manger and choirs of heavenly angels. But how are we to bring our souls to an aware~ess not only of this contrast but of the' contrast of the rich and tJie poor In our modem world?· The following might be II good Idea: Send out Invitations' to a banquet a& $100 a' plate; SUggest formal dress for both men and women and hold it in the most 'sumptoous dining room in the city. Then, when the guests sit down to ,n elaborate china and silver service, fl~1 their plates with only three ounces of rice.

What would their reaction be? Some would claim that they had been cheated: "Are we to pay $100 for this?" Bu~ the others, the wise,' might say: "Now I know 'how the other half of the' world lives. How else could I have understood the contrast between the plenty in one hall of the world and the want in the other hali, except by sitting in luxurY and eating in hunger?" And yet, what is this contrast compared 'to' the Lord of Heaven stripping Himself of His glory to share our .hunger, our woes, our pains - not for an evenil).g but for a lifetime? "Unto you is bom this day a Saviour"that is, the real meaning of Christmas. We are surrounded by advisors, experts and counselors, bot where are the saviours? Where are. those who will accept the bordens of others as their own, who will eat rice when they could easily afford pheasant-onder-glass? For that is how we must 'Ctoalize Christmas - by being saviours of our fellow men! ....: a little Jewish girl told os last week: "I am, kind to that leper beciause I believe he brings me the 'blessing of God," As· Christ was our Saviour from sin, so we must save others from their wantB."

Stormy Courtship Poor Beginning For· Ma ~riage

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 21, 1961

By Fr. John L.Thomas, S.L Assistant Professor 01 Sociolon at St. Louis Universi~

most engaged couples quarrel frequently? We've been engaged for almost a year, and it seems lately we H)J)o

Honor we thee, Thou festive tree-

spend most of our time either quarreling or making up after the last one. Among other things, Janice claims I never consider her feelings. May.be I don't, but I'm no mind reader~ and she pretends to be hurt over just about anything. She hates to discuss a problem-I'm supposed to guess what she thinks or feels. We're really very much in love, yet I keep asking myself, what if she keeps this up when we're married?" That's a good question, Ed, and if you're wise,· you'll give it very serious consideration before t:ommitting yourself to playing a guessing-game for the rest of your life. Marriage offers no magic solution for differences or disagreements that a couple are unable to handle satisfactorily during courtship, though all too many unadjusted couples take the step in the vain hope that "everything will work out lll1! right, once we're married."

Salvation came By such as thee.

pendent and insecure by pretending to be hurt, or she is guided entirely by her emotions and is incapable of taking a consistent, .rational view c& things. Stop Pretending If the latter is true, you would do well to break the engagement, for she is not likely to change. If she is merely - pretending, and you can judge this by studying how she deals with others, tell her to stop the act. Such pretense is no basis for real companionship. If she isn't willing to state what she thinks or feels so that you can settle your differenceD without quarreling, she isn't ready for marriage-at least, not . with you!

BOWEN'S

Few Perfectly Matched

Most engagelI\ents leading to successful marriages proceed rather smoothly. If courtship is marked by violent or frequent quarrels, it's a clear sign that basic disagreements persist or that the couple have not learned how to resolve their differences in a constructive fashion. In other words, although a stormy courtship may supply rich material for a novel or movie, it's a POOl' preparation for a stable marriage. This does not mean that you and Janice should expect to see eye-to-eye on everything. We can be justly suspicious of couples - married or unmarriedwho claim that they never argue or disagree, for by the time men and women are old enough to marry they should have acquired some highly personal opinions, attitudes, goals, values,. likes and dislikes, and it would be qui~ extraordinary if any two individuals, particularly a man and a woman, should be perfectly matched in this regard. Lo", Provides Motivation Indeed, successful marital companionship is so enriching and developmental not only because masculine arid feminine differences are complemenJary, but because the daily reconciliation of these individual differences involves an appreciative awareness of their existence, together with the gradual curbing of their narrow selfish aspects. Love between a man and woman does not eliminate such differences, rather it provides the motivation for giving them due respect and consideration in the process of reconciling them for unified action during mar-

Survey Indicates Racial PrejMdice Now orro Decline

.Host· o

By Daniel J. Delaney The seniors in all Catholic high schools were invited to participate in a nationwide essay contest, as announced

in this news column several . weeks ago. In announcing the contest, with college scholarship awards,. Very Rev; George F. O'Dea, S.S.J:, superior general of the Josephite missionaries, explained the purpose of the topic, "What is Racism Doing to me Catholic Church in America Today" is to stimulate interest among Catholic students in the obligations of Catholics towards their fellow men in the field of human relations. The theme centered the thinking of the participants on the effects of segregation and dis, crimination on the spiritual development of the N~gro Catholic and also the Caucasion Catholic. This project was the beginning 9f a five-year program. Each school submitted, by selection, one representative essay. Starts iIi Home Under the guidance of Sister Mary Hortense, S.U.S.C., adviser to the Shacady, school newSpaper of the Academy of the Sacred Hearts, Fall River, a group of seniors, Margaret Syl'vestre, Walda Lyons, Ann McGuire, Celestine Kelly, and Kathleen Farrell, elaborated on the theme for this essay contest with Ann McGuire chosen to represent the Fall River all-girls' school. . In connection with the Josephite contest, a school project on racism was intiated and conducted by the Shacady News. staff. One hundred. eighty students took' part in a poll on' racism, the results follow: 1) 19.61 teens more prejudicefree than 1861 teens? Yes, 54.6%; No, 45.4%. ' 2) Would you. withdraw from an integrated school? No, 94.2%; Yes, 5.8%. 3) What about a Negro school captain? Yes, 97.8%; No, 2.2% ... The' Shacady also reports that the great majority of students believe that racial prejudices start in the home. Poem Sums Up Trouble A great deal of research, concerning racism and the Catholic viewpoint, was. undertaken ,by the school newspaper's staff, and has been 'reported in the Shacady. Susan Johnson, .sophomore, reports, "Americans traveling abroad have 'seldom succeeded in selling to other peoples our governmental god, democracy. Many of these good neighbors who witness the serious flaw of segregation and discrimination, in our society, tl,lrn sad~y, away from what they at first believed to be the ideaL" Carol Damaso, senior, Joyce Petit and Maureen Toomey, sophomores, alsQ did an excellent job in reporting. The Shacady, summing up this problem, printed' a poem by Countee Cullen, a contemporary. Negro poet, who treats of a little black boy's sorrow and of the c rue 1 thoughtlessness behind name-calling and, race prejudice, entitled "Incident:" "Once riding in old Baltimore,! Heart-filled, head-filled with glee,! I' saw a Baltimorean! K e e p looking straight at me.! Now I was eight and very small! And he was no whit bigger,! And so I smiled, but he poked out/ 'His tongue and called me 'Nigger.'I I saw the whole of Baltimore! From May until December;! Of all the
