Liturgical reform still looms as the Council's richest product so far. It reflects thE!

New Jersey Court Rules National Standards Obscenity Norm TRENTON (NC) - The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that national, not local, standards must be used in determining ob­ scenity.

The Supreme Court by a un­ animous 6-0 vote ordered a new trial in Superior Court for the Hudson County News Company of North Bergen and its sub­ sidiary, the Hudson County News Dealers Supply Company.

Hudson County News is the state'. largest magazine distri­ butor.

Justice Hay d n Pro c tor, speaking for the unanimolLl court, said the trial court in the case had admitted testimony that 23 magazines distributed by the company were oHensive to com­ munity standards in Hudson County. The county 11 a heavilT Catholic area.

However, Justice Proctor said, the model penal code "clearly leaves the impression that a na­ tional com m u nit 7 standard should be applied rather than a state or local one."

He said "the jury was wrongl7 allow· ." to believe that it could decide the question of obscenit.., b7 applying local rather than national .tandardl of decency.

Another member of the court, Justice Nathan L. Jacobs, ex­ pressed the view that only "hard core pornography" should be illegal.

But Justice Proctor declined to accept this view, saying: "We have concluded that in the ab­ .ence of any substantial concur­ rence as to the meaning of this term, its adoption by us at this time would not increase clarit.., or certainty in the law of ob­ scenity."

Hudson County News had been convicted of possessing obscene magazines with intent to sell them.

The company claimed its rights under the 1st and 14th Amendments were violated when police confiscated the magazines from its warehouse. It argued that this amounted to a prior re­ straint of expression, and the state high court agreed with this contention also.

Tha' norm of "contemporary community s tan dar d s" was established as a legal test of obscenity by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 1957 Roth decision.

Since then the scope of the "community" envisioned by the court - whether national, re­ gional or local - hal been a major topic of debate.

Plan Observance In Philippines CEBU (NC)-The Philippines will celebrate the 400th anniver­ sary of its Christianization in April or May, 1965, Archbishop Julio R. Rosales of Cebu an­ nounced here.

He said plans for the nation­ wide observance will be dis­ cussed at the annual bishopa' meeting in Cebu Monday, Jan. 27. A highlight of the jubilee year will be the holding of the third National Eucharistic Con­ gress in Cebu, he said.

Archbishop Rosales stated that Cebu was selected as the center of the celebration because it was the first place in the archipelago to be Christianized by Spanish missionaries.

Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived in Cebu in March, 1521, and on April 14 of that year his chaplain, Father Pedro de Valderrama, baptized the 'oland's king and his wife.

Formal Christianization of the island did not start, however, until the end of April and be­ ginning of May, 1565, with the arrival of Father Andres de Urdaneta and five Augustinian missionaries.

NEW YORK (NC) - The worldwide relief agency of U.S. Catholics has sent thou­ sands of pounds of wheat, fie and clothing to aid flood 'ftctims in Costa Rica.

Catholic Relief Services-Na­ tional Catholic Welfare Confer':' ence shipped 179,600 pounds of wheat, 180,000 pounds of flour and 10,400 pounds of clothing al­ located to Costa Rica from the 1963 Thanksgiving Clothing Col~ lection in the U.S. An additional 180,000 pounds ef wheat are scheduled to arrive ..

500 Homes Lost At least nine persons died and 1,000 were left homeless when torrential downpours flooded the city of Cartago, which has a population of 20,000 and is lo­ cated in central Costa Rica.

Pass Law Extending Bracero Program WASHINGTON (NC) - Pres. klent Johnson has signed into law a one-year extension of tht~ program under which Mexican workers called braceros are im­ ported to work on U.S. farms.

Religious groups, includin.g ftle National Catholic Rural Lif·e Conference and committees _f the Catholic Bishops, have long opposed the program on the grounds that it exploits the Mex­ icans and puts domestic workers at a disadvantage by forcing them to compete for work with lower-paid foreigners.

During congressional maneUI­ vering before passage of th.e measure, supporters said they would not seek its extension after next year. They argued, however, that the one-year grace period was needed to per­ mit growers to prepare for the program's end.

Jesuits to Increase Interracial Effort New Bedford Phon.

New York Provincia I Issues Instructions NEVV YORK (NC) - The head of the Jesuits' New York pro­

vince has directed Jesuit institu­ tions under his jurisdiction, in­ cluding schools, parishes and re­ treat hou~es, to step up inter­ racial efforts.

The instructions by Father John J. McGinty, S.J., provin­ cial, are contained in a circular letter on the race question distri­ buted to Jesuit priests, Brothers and seminarians in the New York province.

The province includes the metropolitan New York area, seven counties in New Jersey.

Long Island and Puerto Rico.

Father McGinty gave these directives: On schools: "The rectors of our colleges and high schools are asked to make a decided ef­ fort to find and enroll competent Negro Catholic students. At the present time more is called for than willingness to accept them if they app.y. VVe must seek out

acceptable Negro students and enroll them in our schools.

"Certainly to be highly com­ mended are the schools that have already offered scholar­ ships to Negro youth who qualify for acceptance."

On parishes: "It is urgent that our parishes become models of Christian charity and under­ standing. Accordingly, our parish priests are encouraged to seek out Negro Catholics in the parish and to make them welcome in parish societies and activities.

Likewise, a more energetic ef­ fort should be made to bring into the Church non-Catholic Negroes residing in the parish."

On retreat houses: "The direc­ tors of our retreat houses are urged to make even more sustained efforts to encourage Catholic Negro men to avail themselves of the advantages of our retreat houses.

"Here above all, in the at­ mosphere of prayerful union

Father Johannes Hofinger, S.J. Austrian-born director of the East Asian Pastoral Institute here, wrote on the liturgy con­ stitution in a special article in the - 'ntinel, national Catholic weekly published here.

Noting that the decree pro­ mulgated by Pope Paul VI on Dec. 4 "supplies the norms for a thorough overhaul of the Church's public worship," Father Hofinger said: "The constitution teaches how the Church herself understanrls her worship and how she re­ serves for it the very first place in her life. In this great docu­ ment she dearly sets forth, once and for all, why she must pro­ mote and require full and active participation of all faithful in the sacred mysteries."

For a long time active partici­ pation of the laity in the liturgy was quite commonly neglected or even consiciered as dangerous, the priest said.

Concerning liturgy reform, he said: Most Valuable Gift ,,- >1' centuries countless Catho­ lics considered the whole setup of ~ liturgy as the perfect work of the Holy Spirit which, like the Bible, should be preserved unchanged until the last judg­ ment * * * "It is si-rnificant that some of the most drastic changes are Ilrimarily motivated by a will to ac~ieve as much as possible, not just some, but a perfect interior and exterior participation of the faithful in sacred liturgy."

Father Hofinger said "this 'first gift of the council' means above all a most valuable gift of Mother Church for her laity."

Plonn;ng Ltln<Juage School in Korea SEOUL (NC) - The Francis­ cans in Korea have acquired a site in Seoul on which to build a Korean language school for foreign missionaries in Korea.

First classes will begin next September.

The lan"ua'{e center, to be known as St. Francis Friary, will be staffcd by Friars Minor from Italy, Canada and the Nether­ lands.

It will be undcr the jurisdic­ tion of Father A. Van Leeuwen, O.F.l\1.. the new Franciscan Delegate in Korea. Father Van Leeuwen had served as Francis­ cr Delegate in Japan until the announcement from Rome on Dec. 4 that Korea had becn raised to a separate Franciscan region no longer subject to Tokyo, and that Father Van Leeuwen was being transferred here.

STREET SCENE IN NAZARETH: This little town, where Our Lord grew to man­ hood, is one of the places Pope Paul VI will viRit on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Nazareth is within the state of Israel. This narrow street, typical of ml)st of the places the Holy Father will visit, illustrates the difficultieR that confront plan.g to follow the Pontiff's progress with mobile television caneras. NC Photo.

The surprise announcement of Pope Paul VI that he will vIsit Jerusalem next month focuses attention on the situation in the Holy Land and on the work of U.S. Catholics there.

The Holy Land proper is Pal­ estine, a name no longer on the map. It disappeared in May, 1948 with the creation of the State of Israel. The core of ancient Pales­ tine is the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jor­ dan River.

The term "Holy Land" also can apply to an area much broader than Palestine. It covers the overall area in which Biblical events took place-present day Jordan and Israel, Syria, Le­ banon. Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Eqypt.

Jerusalem is sacred, not only to Christians, but to Moslems and Jews as well. For the Mos­ lem, Jerusalem is the place from which Mohammed was trans­ ported into Heaven. As such, it is the third holiest site of his religion. For the Jew, Palestine is a Promised Land, and Jeru­ salem, the City of David.

For the ChristiaD, Jerusalem and other places in Palestine are consecrated and set apart through association with the earthly life of Jesus Christ.

The Palestine of old-part of which is now in Jordan, part in Israel-is today an armed camp, manned by troups of nations technically still at war. Thus,' the sacred shrines are cut off

CINCINNATI (NC)-A group of Catholic artists agreed here that Christmas cards are be­ coming more religious, but all insisted that it takes more than a crib and a madonna to make a genuinely religious message.

Father Kieran Quinn, O.F.M., art director for the Cincinnati Franciscan province. said he wa. "very pleased with some of the newer religious cards."

At the same time he deplored the 'lack of originality of desigll and concept" he has seen ia many cards with religious sub­ jects.

Sister Augusta, head of Mount St. Joseph College's art depart­ ment, agreed that "there is more really good art" in Christmas cards, but criticized the same­ ness of many of them.

Build a New Year I

New View of Life

Ellellsiol

For too many persons, Christmas is a day of climax.

And it is followed by the inevitable let-down-Santa Claus suits are put wearily away, prices are marked down, tinsel is allowed to grow dingy, and the worry about unpaid bills . begins to make itself more insistent.

The preparation for Christmas, especially if it has been a commercial or material one, builds up to a day, a single day, and then the enthusiasm, as it must, peters out.

This is not as it should be.

The Church wisely makes a preparation for Christmas through the four weeks of Advent. And she insists just as wisely and just as strongly that the spirit of Christmas be carried over in t~e days that follow.

For Christmas Day is not meant to be a day of climax so much as a door to a new view of life.

Christmas Day simply sets a tone of love and happiness and wonder at the coming of Christ that should be a con­ tinuing note in every day in the life of the true Christian.

Christ came to change the world, to change the hearts of men, to lift up men's eyes to the Father, to set them afire with love of God and their fellow men, to instill into them the spirit of happiness that no darkness or suffering can ever entirely obliterate.

That is the spirit that Christmas gives-the spirit that lives, or should live, in men long after the day itself has passed.

Freedom Rally The Freedom Rally that will take place this Sunday evening in the Sacred Heart School Auditorium in Fall River will make Negroes' struggle for racial equality come alive for the people of this area.

Chesterton once remarked, "If you want it to live, make it local." An idea may touch the mind of a person, but it takes a person to involve his whole being and energies.

The sight of the eighty men and women, both young and older, from Williamton, North Carolina, who have been suffering the day to day indignities that are the lot of the Negro, the sight of these persecuted broth.ers in God should do more to convince the people of this area that the racial struggle is their battle than any reading about it. lt is one thing to read about children being jailed, about men and women being denied their God-given rights, about human dignity being put to flight with dogs and clubs and fire hoses. lt is quite another thing to see with one's own eyes the human beings who have suffered so many inhuman­ ities for so long at the hands of their fellows.

These visitors to the area will serve to test the con­ sciences of those who smugly proclaim that there is no race problem here and that they themselves have no racial prejudices. They will be forced to ask themselves how they would like these visitors as their next-door neighbors, as fellow members of their community. The answers might be both shocking and enlightening.

Oay-by-Day A philosopher once said that the wise man aims at the eoalescence of four things-what he thinks he is, what he would like to be, what he should be, and what he really is.

When all four are one, the person is complete.

The New Year is the traditional time for the making or resolutions that will bring about this marvelous transformation and agreement. .

Perhaps the best New Year's resolution is to start each day off anew and to make the day count.

If a person realized at the start of each day that this day was a gift from God, that he is living it in the presence of God, that he should live it in union with Jesus Christ, then the end of the day would see him giving back to God something quite worthwhile.

A day-by-day New Year's resolution might have a much better chance of surviving than a sweeping proclamation of revolution in one's life.

By REV. ROBERT W. HOVDA, Catholic University TODAY - st. stephen, First !\1[artyr. Lest we find it surpris­ ing that so welcome a message should encounter resistance, the first post-Christmas saint we honor is a martyr. This blood that has been so dignified must Yi~t flow.

Man is not eager to accept his glorification. We prefer that God should respect our boundaries, should stay on His side of the fence. But Christians must make Stephen's vision their own: "I see tHe, heavens opened, and JE'SUS standing at the right hand of almightyGod" (First Reading, Alleluia, Communion Hymn).

TO)lORROW-St. John, Apos­ tit!, Evangelist. The importance of the Gospel book, the Bible, in our public worship is uppermost in the Church's consciousness today, as we honor "the same . disciple that bears witness of all th is and has written the story of it'" (Gospel), John the beloved.

'The Collect prayer is for the enlightenment and understand­ ing which should result from our hearing the Scriptures pro­ chlimed.

SATURDAY-The Holy Inno. oenIts, Martyrs. It is not only the mature adult with his deliberate rellponse of faith that benefits from Jesus' coming. Even chil­ dren, even the unreasoning, ha ve been touched by the' glory of the Son of God. Their blood, their lives, are fashioned by the Christ into a hymn of praise, jUllt as the Eucharist we cele­ brate around our altar fashions thi~ lives of the human commu­ nH.y we represent into such a hymn.

ImNDAY WITHIN THE OC­ TAVE OF CHRISTMAS. The al­ ternating notes of "king" and "child" in today's Mass increase our awareness of the mystery of the Incarnation. From a nat­ ural point of view, it is incred­ ible that the Gospels and letters of the New Testament and the preaching of the Church in those first years of its life affirm so faithfully both the divine and tJM~ human in the unique exie­ teJlce whose Birthday we are celebrating. l:'salm 92 (Entran~, Alleluia, Offertory HymM) refrains His kingship. But even the stress on Hill :lull humaniq Ja tbe Fint

Readin g and Gospel takes into accoun ; the mysterious, the sac­ ramen1 ~l quality of that human­ ity. "H ~ took birth * * * so as to ransom" (First Reading). "This child i; destined to be a sign" (Gospe l). Jesus Christ is Him­ seU thE great Sacrament, visible sign of God's love, favor, grace.

MONDAY-Mass as on D.hrfs&­ mas (~rd Mass, with readings from . he 2nd). "The whole world 1 ~om pole to pole has SeeD the sal ration that our God hat!! wrough t" (Gradual, Communion Hymns:. As the Eucharist and the six sacraments which sur­ round it make the Saviour's saving, life-giving, healing, for­ giving work apparent to us, 80 the gre. It Sacrament, Christ, has made (~d's love and salvation apparer t to the human race.

I embarked for a tour of the lake in a launch used by priesta from Oklahoma in their mission work. Several of the dozen In­ dian villages (all named after the Apostles) are reachable only by boat and the others are more easily reached by boat. A trip up and down and around and ­ through the mountains to reach various villages takes several hours; by water the voyage ill less than two hours. Such a commodity as a boat can be a great mission aid.

All of the Indian villages have a grand church with a' plaza in front where the weekly - and colorful - market is held. We stopped at the Oklahoma mis­ sion: Santiago de Atitlan and found that the people there knew one English phase: take a pict. It' seems that some years ago a movie was made there and people were paid for posing; now they hope every American will "take a pict" and pay them. I made the mistake of having my camera with me and fell prey (fortu­ nately) to their requests. The village is unlike any others I have seen. The Indians live in compounds with several AfricaJl style thatched roof homes in a square and animals and humana live both inside and outside the house. I was stunned to see the primitive way these people live.

The Church was partially ill ruins but maintained some of its past majesty and the outline or days of greater grandeur were still visible. One priest is there now but in February Oklahoma will send three priests and five Papal Volunteers to work in the town of 15,000 Indians.

The surrounding mountairw provide a forbidding focus for the lives of these people and cause won d e r men t at their ability to build villages and live in the area. They farm oa the slopes of the mountains ia neat patterns with wooden plow. and mostly manual labor.

As the wake of the boat widened the distance between us and the village I could only wonder at the m y s te rio u • workings of God - creating a beauty of soul and nature for these people' both of which are almost incomparable.

The honor was bestow.~d on Jerry J. Walsh, 41, of C4)rona, L. I., N. Y., by the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped.

The award, a mahogan:r and ailver shield specially made by the Institute for the Crippled and Disabled in New York City, fa given annually to a person who has "surmounted his 4)1' her own handicap to become a use­ ful American citizen and. who has helped encourage, inspire or facilitate employment of other handicapped persons.."

Standout Walsh, a standout in baseball, basketball and football at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Columbus, Ohio, had been prom­ ised a tryout as a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox after he fin­ ished college.

But instead he was .struck down with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 18, not long after entering Providence College. He was bedridden with the painful disease for seven years.

In 1947 Walsh entered the Mayo Clinic and underwent two .lUccessful operations which now enable him to get around~ with a crutch and cane.

In Columbus he established an organization called Courage, Inc., which aided more than 500 handicapped persons in the 10 years he was its director.

"An appeal to Rome and Amer­ ica brought us over $4000, enough to build a house worthy of God, one that would be the best, most impressive strructure in the village.

"We had never built a church and with but $4000 our plans were more than ambitious.

Our youth prompted us to attempt something new, original, unique, daring. Yet our vocation reminded us that thill must be a house conducive to prayer, built to allow active participation in the liturgy, adapted to the cli­ mate, the countryside and the people.

New Church "Today St. Peter-by-the-Sea is becoming a reality that is meeting all our desires and real­ izing all our dreams. Also most encouraging is the knowled·ge that we will not go beyond the money given for that purpose.

"The new church is set on a hillock to the south and above the village, only a few yards from the ocean. Thus for all the villagers who live from the ocean's bounty, the church will stand aa a landmark - the bell tower with its cross as a beacon to guide them home when they return from their hard day of fishing under the hot 8un.

"As they hurry home, threat­ ened by a stormy sea, they will look up towards the church with confidence and hope. Tbus they may be led to enter the churcb that looks out towards them on the vast blue expanse: its cross a sign of security in an hour of fear.

"A church in the tropics must be spacious and cool. But why a church that will seat 200 for only 80 Catholics? Because we are young, optimistic and confi­ dent in the future. The mustard seed must grow and will grow until all the souls of this village

Yes, this will be a holey church, probably the holiest in Madagas­ car! ''The cement blocks being seven inches thick, it is practi­ cally impossible for rain to pen­ etrate while a generous quantity of air and light will flood the church from every corner. Only when the sun is at its lowest ebb will its direct rays invade our sanctuary. ''The overall effect of the holey structure will be that of a vast fishermen's net; symbol­ ism which has a real and con­ crete meaning for the people.

The simple, straight lines· fit in well against the blue sky, while the white structure with its sil­ ver roof will not disrupt the rustic, natural beauty of the seashores.

Maybe some young priest, tempted by the beauty and ori­ ginality of the new church, at­ tracted . by the challenge, will volunteer for Belo - and may Peter's net in Belo-by-the-Sea soon bring in a heavy catch of fish for Christ's kingdom."

Father Pelletier's activities are closely followed by some 140 friends and relatives who form a mission club which sends him much assistance. They are kept in touch with him through his aunt, Mrs. Anna Poirier of St. Joseph's parish, Attleboro, who sends them a monthly newsletter prepared by the missioner.

Th La Salette priest was or­ dained in Rome in 1956 and taught at Lc Salette Seminary in Attleboro until his assign. ment to Madagascar.

Safe Driving Continued from Page One imagine what would happen if, in addition to the reckless, these careful drivers were to relax their vigilance to any. extent.

As a matter of fact, traffic deaths were up in October over the same month in 1962, and the 4,000 deaths were the third highest monthly toll ever re­ corded. TraHic deaths totaled 35 170 for the first 10 months of 1963 , and were up five per cent over 1962.

A total of 1.3 million persons suHered disabling injuries in the same period. Travel increased four per cent and the death rate per 100 million miles. traveled rose to 5.3 per cent from 5.2 In 1962. ' It is not a problem that af­ fects this country alone. Pope John XXIII referred to it in one of the earliest discourses in his pontificate, and came back to the subject shortly before he died. He said in part: ''There are before us in fact Jmpressive statistics of the deaths and injuries due to road accidents, which almost equal in numbers the disasters of past wars." , Neglect Is Sinful Back in 1957, the U.S. Bishop. called upon fellow AmericaIl& "to join in a crusade to keep our highways safe." They urged "with the utmost seriousness" that every driver "reflect upon the moral obligations he as­ sumes" when he takes the wheel of a car.

Thy declared that "careless­ ness neglect or reckless con­ duct;' by a driver is "sinful."

"The distinctive mark of the follower of Christ," the Bishops' statement said, "is his love of his fellow man. The mark of the upright and conscientious man. ls his strict regard for rights of others. On the basis of both justice and Christian love we appeal to our fellow American citizens to join in a crusade te keep our highways safe."

ST. JAMES, NEW BEDFORD Msgr. Noon Circle will meet 'Wednesday, Jan. 15 and will sponsor a public card party Wednesday, Jan. 22 in the par­ ish hall. Mrs. Theodore Gladu is ehairm·an.

In Freedom Atmosphere

,

By Rev. Andrew M. Greeley One of the advantages of not being pre::lent at a great -.ent is that you can attend it on the wing!' of fancy and _agine it as even more sprendid and exciting than it really II. Whenever I think of the second session of the Vatican Council I cannot help but information. The ideas of the picture the towering figure aggiornamento sound marvelous­ of Father John Courtney ly American.

Murray striding about the Without doubt some Catholics IItreets of Rome at least !O feet tall, with all kinds of cassock­ dad fig u res lItretching their Jleeks to look tIP at him. The l'eason for this fancyisnot merely that the American Bish­ oPs' support for the chapter 0: Ileligious free­ dom is avindi­ eetion of Father Murray's I i f e work, not merely that the Coun­ d1 itself is proof that the forces which tried to silence him did DOt succeed.

More than this must be- sai•.

Pather Murray's theological llG­ ation and the chapter on reli­ lIouS freedom demonstrate- ill tltriking fashion the unique con~ trtbution that the United States .. capable of making to the Church universal.

Suited for Deve)oPIRe" I heard Father Murray remark many years ago that he clMlld DOt understand why so IIlllll\Y Ameriean theologians were iO eager to provc him wrong, llince he was merely arguing that !:be American experiment was ript DOt only as a practical compt"()­ mise but, at least in our time and GU.r circumstances, as a theoret­ leal principle.

In retrospect it does seem hard to believe that for many, many years American Catholics thought themselves obliged to be apologetic about a relation­ 8hip to civil authorities under which the Church prospered as • has nowhere else in the world.

It occurred to practically no ClBe to sllggest tha t in America Church had stumbled almost ~ accident on a situation that was marvelously suited to its own development, that the Church would prosper in a con­ dition of religious freedom be­ . .use it would be free itseiC. Fear Abuse At least part of the aggiorna­ menta of Popes John and Paul mvolves a considerable broallllen­ mg of freedom within the Church. The old forms which were appropriate to the garrison ()burch of a bygone era are be­ ing replaced by a new openness, • new freedom.

We hear now about the right to be informed in the Church and the development of public opin­ ion. Such ideas are not changed when they are recast under the terms freedom of expression, treedom of tire press, freedom of

.e

aTe worried by the new discus­ sion of and even the new de­ mand for freedom. They fear abuse, they fear freedom may lead to lieense, to the denial of all authority, to cuntempt for legitimate power.

Ameriea E~rialellt

Here is where the experience of Catholics who are Americans can be of tremendous impor­ tancee.

Through 186 years we have learI'led how to use freedom with restraint, how to live with the forms of liberty without let­ ting respect for authority be notably weakened.

Even though tMx'e have been m.any mistakes, the American exIl'eriment proves conclusively tha.t yClt.l can trust pe1)ple wit.. freedom. thatt liberty CaD eo­ ~ist with law and _thod!;,.. ~t indeed in _ urbMl, indua­ trial and edUeaoted lI&CMty, order. law and au;thol.,jiy fioIarisl\ best in . an a,tInosprhere al freedom.

It seems ~te reas&nable to IUPPQse thrat as. the Church agonizes G'Ve1" the transitiona from ald f(lrma to new, it will came mcreasingly 18 rely OIl thie wiscrom ai. the American· experience. .Tohtn Courtney Murray and tile Bishops who pushed for tbe chapter on religious freedom will be merely the first of a new breed - an American breed.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-ThlJr~ ". '. 26,

Prepare for Liturgy Reform

Continueci from Page One .chema passage: "Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that full, conscious, and active parti­ cipation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy."

Bishops

The world's bishops now have a true and serious n'~ponsibility for the form of the liturgy in their countries, territories and regions.

In various groups, the Bishops shall therefore legislate con­ eerning the liturgy. This is especially true in the matter of changing Latin to the people's language.

On the matter of language, therefore, various countries will bring about this transformation, Dot on Feb. 16, but "when the Bishops take action."

For the U.S., the Bishops have already announced that they will "adopt and accept the constitu­ tion's concessions in the matter of language."

In the Spring, at a general mp~ting of the U.S. Bishops, "formal approval may be given to official English translations of liturgical texts.'"

The lanl'(uage texts would then take effect at some designated date.

Pope Finally, it is the work of a commission to be set up by the Pope to put some of the other reforms into force. This com­ mission will revise the missal, breviary, ritual, etc. The chief points and principles have been decided by the Council. The de­ tails will have to be worked out by experts designated by the Pope.

When? "It is easy to predict the kinds of changes in the rite of Mass or in the sacramental aervices ,.,. *" (the Council al­ ready mentioned them) What is uncertain is the length of time needed: perhaps only weeks or months for broad changes, cer­ tainly several years for the com­ plete revision of the servi,ce books of the liturgy.

The newly approved constitu­ tion's "doctrine on worship should be studied and preached now. Its discipline takes effect on Feb. 16, above all in the active participation of the peo­ ple. Two aspects of the consti­ tution must await further action: th" use of the vernacular de­ pends on the approval to be given by the body of bisil.lps; the ritual reform depends on pre­ cise decisions to be made by the authority of the Pope."

Diffku.Ity aBtl Patie_ The changes of the liturgy are to be a "transition marked by charity," said Archbishop Paul Hallinan, Archbishop of Atlanta and international authority on the Lit ur<:>:y.

The Church as a whole has

enacted these changes with only four of the world's bishops having some reason against such changes.

"For some, especially those fixed in their ways, the changes may be distastful," he said.

"Those who like the new ways must understand how hard it is for some people to change the habits of a lifetime. Those who like the old ways must try to understand how invigorating life in the Catholic Church is be­ coming; they must excuse the enthusiasm of the others; they must not look upon them as dangerous extremists." ~rotesta.nt e-.w.SSMS Some seven major Protestant bodies in England have formed a joint liturgical commission to plan services for united worship.

They are the Church of England, Episcopal (Anglican) Church of Scotland, Baptist Union, Presby­ terian Church of England, Meth­ odist Church, Congregational C b. u r chand (Presbyterian) Church of Scotland.

The members will discuss the liturgy in general and make un­ official recommendations. Some of the topics for discussion are: (1) calendar, daily services, and lists of Scriptural readings; (2) joint forms of services f(}r pub­ lic ".n~''1i!J; (3) strudure of the service of Holy Communion.

Entering Wrong Door Pays Off For Catholic College P!aye~ UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS (NC) - John Kovach of the John Car­ roll University football team has been presented a contract with the New York Football Giants­ all because four years ago he walked in the wrong aoor at Carroll.

Kovach, now a senior, visited Carroll the Summer before his fre~hman year, tryin,g to line up a Job through the university's placement bureau.

But he walked through the wrong door and entered the athletic office and found John Ray, Carroll football coach.

Ray asked the 5-11, 210-pound Kovach if he played football.

Kovach replied that his high school coach did not recommend him for college football because he didn't think he was good enough. Therefore, said Kovach,

he didn't iJltend to go out.

"Try it anyway," said Coach Ray jokingly. Picking up the bait, Kovach said, "I guess I will.~'

He played with an unde­ feated freshman team, then starred as defensive end for three years on the Carroll team which has become known in the Ohio - Pennsylvania - Michi­ ganarea as the "Wolfpack."

He ha\S been presented with the Ohio school's first Loyalty A ward as the senior who has "contributed most to the team in his four years as a John Car­ roll football player." The citation came from Coach Ray. There is only one thing sepa­ rating Kovach from a career with the Giants. He faces mili­ tary service which he hopes .. meet in six-month sessioml.

Cho rity Ball Continued from Page One the Charity Ball also tends to weave a closer laity. It is the only time during the year that folks from all sections of the diocese are afforded an opportu­ nity to meet socially.

Recognized as Society's lead­ ing dance band, the Stuart style of music has created such a de­ mand throughout the c(}untry that bookings are now running into '65.

One of the more recent en­ gagements of this colorful and talented musical group was at the New York Hilton Candle­ light Ball fonowed by a date at the Cincinnati Country Club for thoe glittering Cincinnati Assem­ bly. Other eng;agements through_ out the country will include the Philadelphia Charity Ball, the Buffalo Philharmonic Ball and the Louisville Bachelm's' Cotil­ lion.

Mr. Stuart stated that he was delighted and honored to accept the engagement to play the Bishop's Charity Ball. "It is rec­ ognized throughout New Eng­ land as the social event of the season and one of the most suc­ . ce.9S.ful Charity Balls in the nation," he said.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Dec. 26, 1963

Franciscan Missionary Learns To Take Nothing for Granted

Urges Youth Leave Racial Prejudice to Bitter Aged

By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. It's fairly easy to predict the kind of mail which in­ yariably follows a certain type of article. Sometimes it's someone agreeing with. the article and often enough a letter will come from someone who has encountered some sad exception to what you Then there were the intellec­ say and who therefore fig­ tual giants who floated in from ures that you are universally other villages to see that vio­ wrong. It's almost certain, lence was stirred up.

-

-

then, that the column on the honesty and fairness of youth, will, by this .ime, h a v e lJrought ,. 0 m e letters pointing to ~he instances where teen-aged hoods we r e unfair, dishonest, and downright gang­ sterish. Undoubt­ edly, too, there will be the let­ ter telling me that Christ was talking only about chronologi­ eal age or using some frothy figure of speech when He said, .

"What you did to one of these, the least of my brethren, you did to Me." Ole Miss Students The conclusion would be that teen-agers who oppose segrega­ tion as unfair, immoral, and contrary to Christian teaching, are simply not bright enough to understand the situation, the full depth of meaning in "our way of life," for instance.

Above all, I expect a letter or two pointing out that if young people arc so cotton-picking fair, 'they haven't been showing it ...ery well at a campus affection­ ately known as' Ole Miss.

And unfortunately, such let­ ters as the latter will have a grain of truth in them. No one can deny the infantile tactics of the Ole Miss students who de­ lighted in such boyish shows of red-blooded Americanism as mass heckling of one defenseless little man, giving the Ole Miss football yell along with their heckling to show their school Spirit; the jeers and catcalls and insults in and out of the cafe­ teria where Mr. Meredith only tried to live as any other human being; the very funny jokes and the liberal use of the word :"Nigger," showing all the raw courage of any senseless mob in any given Western; the con­ demnation by representative students of a sensible editor of their student paper who tried to tell th~m some portion of the truth.

Good Answers Yes, you wonder all right when you look at Ole Miss. You wonder where all this vaunted fairness of youth was hiding, and where were all the decent, brave, honest, fair young people?

Brisfly, there are a few good answers to these good questions: (1) We still have no idea of the feelings of the majority of Ole Miss students, though, as usual, we have excellent evi­ dence of the feelings of the loud_ mouths.

(2) Protests to Ole. Miss from other colleges and organizations of young people give us a more genuine pic t u r e of youth's feelings (3) Many of the people con­ cerned here are not teen-agers.

In fact, many of the agitators were not even college students.

And all you really need to' train ': a parrot is loudness and repeti­ tion.

The example of the adults around Ole Miss is appalling, beginning with a sanctimonius . Governor, piously stirring up hatred and then protesting (milch like the villain-of-the­ 'week in the wrestling ::u-e.n:U " 'that·· he- decried violenc~'

It may be that the majority of University authorities and fac­ ulty wanted to take some posi­ tive step to see that right pre­ vailed, but we didn't hear much of them.

Pious Statement Nor did we see any denial of the pious statement of Mr. John D. Williams, Chancellor of the University, that the University had lived up to both the letter and the spirit of the court order requiring Mr. Meredith's attend­ ance at Ole Miss.

In this case, the court order must have demanded, in letter and in spirit, that one of its students be hecklec and tor­ mented and even threatened to the point of requiring federal marshals at his side every moment.

It's true that you can't blame adult "example" like this com­ pletely, because young people still have intellect and free will of their own, and the fact is that some of them did follow the loud-mouths and the little men trying to forget their own inferiority, or building their political future on hatred.

But one mitigating fact is that youth is still young and can be expected to follow example, good or bad, especially when it is so loud and persistent that it seems universal.

More Accurate Picture Note the contrast at a neigh­ boring University, Clemson.

Note the difference at New Or­ leans' Loyola which has been integrated for years, and at Tu- ' lane, universities where there were no infantile howls of an­ guish at this long overdue rec­ ognition of the rights of another human being.

These universities give a far more accurate picture of youth than do the vocal few at Ole Miss. Of course, the latter could claim that they are simply brighter than these peaceful in­ tegrators. But so far they haven't proven it.

Undoubtedly, the Vfst majority of students and faculty at Ole Miss must be genuinely ashamed -of the University, and perhaps of their own passivity.

Hysterical Example Not too long ago, in fact, a gentleman whose job is recruit­ ing collegians to teach in Africa, was telling me that much of his help was coming from the south "because the kids are trying to make some reparation for the obvious injustices there. They feel helpless to do anything about the situation at home be­ cause of the adults' loud and ir­ rational, often hysterical, ex­ ample."

No, the public example of Ole Miss doesn't show the mind of the majority of youth, much less of teen-agers.

NAMED: Rev. Harrold A. Murray of the Newark arch­ diocese, has been named exe­ cutive director of the Bureau of Health and Hospitals, Na­ tional Catholic Welfare Con­ ference, with headquarters in Washington, D.C. NC Photo.

Holy Land Visit Continued from Page One will pray for peace during his visit here.

The Bishop also ~aid at the press conference: "[ have asked President Shazar to grant a good will amnesty to the 30 Christian convicts who are still in prison, among them a Coptic priest who was con­ victed as a spy. "[ have founded the Pope Paul Housing Fund to help Nazareth slum dwellers, most of whom are Mo:,lems, obtain homes. The fund committee includes the Mo.5lem mayor of Nazareth and Antb community leaders.

"A second fund named for Pope Paul is the Hebrew Univer­ sity fund to help Arab students obtain a higher education. This fund is sponsored by the Pope ana Abba Khoushy, Jewish mayor of Haifa. The Pope contri­ buted the first money himself ana: the fund is administered by Arab members of Parliament ana. Arab university graduates.

"On the day of the papal visit, orphanages in Galilee are tore­ ceive candy."

CHERRY HILL (NC) - Anybody willing to take the rap for Columbus?

That problem cropped up some time ago in a Brazilian village, when a school inspector dropped in on a local classroom. Aecording to Bishop Benedict J. Coscia, O.F.M., of Jatai, Brazil, this is what happened: "The inspector asked a student, 'Who discovered America?'

"The boy replied.. 'I didn't do it.'

"The inspector turned to the teacher with some alarm, but the teacher merely smiled and said, 'That's right, he didn't do it.' ..

"Since that time," Bishop Cos­ cia remarked, "I've never taken anything for granted in the mis­ sions."

Clergymen of Three Religions Meet in Friendship at Taunton Thirty-one clergymen of the Jewish, Catholic and Protestants religions met recently in St. Mary's School, Taunton, for an informal meeting that was called

by Rabbi Baruch Korff "a red­ letter day for this community.

On this we can build."

Rt. Rev. James Dolan, Pastor of St. Mary's, set the tone for the meeting when he said, "All of us agree that today we would meet in friendship: not to dis­ cus.> theological differences, but just to get acquainted and show to the world that we can live together in peace and mutual helpfulness."

WILKES - BARRE (NC)­ Here in the harvest land of foot­ ball players another Catholic college has abandoned the sport. " Father G e 0 r g e Benaglia, C.S.C., president, announced that af' ". 17 seasons King's College will not field a football team in 1964. It was decided to abandon the sport because of poor at­ tendance in recent years, losilll seasons, high cost of equipping a team and other reasons.

The 1963 team finished wiih " a 1-8 record, worst in school history. King's College is con­ ducted by the Holy Cross Fathers, the same community which operates Notre Dame and Stonehill.

The coal mining area of Penn­ sylvania long has been a favorite recruiting area for college coaches and scouts of the nation...

King's College is the second Catholic institution in the area to abandon the sport. Two yeaN ago the University of Scranton, con d u c ted by the Jesuitl, dropped football after fielding teams for 40 years.
