Pope Paul's Message to the World

Peace Is A Duty.

Peace Must Be Willed.

Peace Must Be Loved.

Peace Must Be Produced.

VATIAN CITY (NC)-"Peace is a duty."

This is the central theme of Pope Paul VI's message to the world in connection with the observance of the second Day of Peace, which he has called for on Wednesday, Jan. 1.

The papal message is an impassioned plea to all men to dedicate themselves to avoiding "the incalcuable catastrophes should new armed conflicts occur."

The message is addressed: "To all men of good will, to all those responsible for the de­ velopment of history today and tomorrow, ed­ ucation, to youth, rising up in its yearning for

worldwide renewal, with a humble and free voice which comes forth from the desert where no worldly interest is, we again proclaim this imploring and solemn word: peace."

Time and time again throughout the 1,700­ word letter Pope Paul repeated his theme, "Peace is a duty."

Developing this theme, he declared: "It is the duty of present history. Whoever reflects upon the lessons which past history teaches us wHl proceed at once to declare that a return to war, to struggle, to massacre, to the ruins caused by the psychology of conflict-

ing arms and forces, even to the death of men who ar(~ citizens of the earth, the common father­ land of our life in time, that such a return is absurd * * "'.

"The necessity of war could be justified only in exceptional and deplorable conditions of fact and law, which should never be verified in modern world society. Reason and not might must decide the destinies of peoples.

"Understanding, negotiations, arbitration and not outrage, blood and slavery must inter­ vene in the difficult relationships between men.

Ireland's Cardinal Conway Praises Catholic Civil Rights Marchers ARMAGH (NC)-Following a near clash here -between Cath­ olic civil rights marchers ana Protestant counter - demonstra­ tors, William Cardinal Conway of Armagh praised the marchers for their self-discipline.

At a mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral here, Cardinal Con­ way of Armagh said: "I would like to express my appreciation and thanks for the Christian, forbearance and self-discipline display.ed by those who took part in the civil rights march.

"I am sure that every right­ thinking person will be grateful to them and their committee and stewards for the way in which they handled the situation.

"By their conduct they have proved more clearly 'than any words could have done their essentially peaceful nature."

- Praises Consiabulary In a statement on the same day Anglican Archbishop James McCann of Armagh said:. "I would like to commend the people of this historic city. They were put to considerable ex­ pense in protecting their prop­ erty and to much personal in­ convenience owing to restric­ tions placed on their move­ ments. ' "They were not allowed to exercise their proper rights as citizens to go about their normal business, owing to the city being invaded by large numbers of people from various parts of the country. .

"I would like to thank the officers and men of the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary, the Northern Irish counterpart of a U. S. state police force) for their magnificent work in keeping the peace and for the strain under which they had to per­ form their duties.

"We thank God that things were not worse and that the police were able to keep the turbulent elements under con­ trol."

Criticize Constabulary In another statement made on the day the churchmen spoke, Armagh's civil rights leaders crit~cized the RUC and the Northern Irish government for failure to enforce the law and permit the civil rights marchers to parade peacefully: through the center of the city.

The marchers had planned to parade through the 'center of the city, but some 2,000 Prot­ estants armed with clubs and

All Eight Minn. See Senate Members Quit CROOKSTON (NC)-All eight members of the 2O-month-old Crookston Diocesan Senate have resigned, charging a "lack of co­ operation" by Bishop Laurence A. Glenn.

Bishop Glenn said he willre­ ply to their joint letter of resig­ nation but gave no hidication as to when.

The reply has been delayed, diocesan sources said, by the death-four days after his res- . ignation from the Senate - of Msgr. Joseph Sheehan, diocesan chancellor.

Most Senators who resigned hold important diocesan posts which make them part of Bishop Glenn's "official family."

led by the Rev. Ian Paisley, militant Protestant leader, gath­ ered in the city center before the march and could not be dis­ persed by police.

After some incidents in which 12 civilians and eight policemen were hurt, the civil rights marchers disbanded.

At a meeting in Belfast the day after the march, the Civil Rights Association passed reso­ lutions calling for a policy of civil disobedience to secure civil rights, simuUaenous dem­ onstrations throughout Northern Ireland and a worldwide appeal for funds to finance the civil rights campaign.

The Catholic demonstration here was the latest in a series extending over the last several weeks.

Protest Dlscrimillla.tlon These demonstrations, Catholic tests against discrimination by Northern Ireland's Protestant majority, began in Londonderry on Oct. 5, when a march was organized by the Irish Civil Rights Association to protest anti-Catholic discrimination in housing, voting, jobs and higher education.

Several days of violence fol­ lowed that march and other demonstrations -have -been held since then in Londonderry and Belfast.

Religious differences have been a source of trouble in Northern Ireland since Ireland was partitioned ,in 1922. Cath­ olics number a'bout one-third of Northern Ireland's total popula­ tion of 1.5 million.

In April, 1967, a news team of the London Times investi­ gated charges of discrimination in Northern Ireland and re­ -ported they found' overwhelm­ ing evidence for them.

Asks P'uerto Ricans Observe Peace Day SAN JUAN (NC)-Archbish­ op Luis Aponte of San Juan called on every person of good 'will in the island to spiritually join Pope Paul VI in the cele­ bration of the World Day of Peace, Jan. 1.

Archbishop Aponte, chairman of the Puerto Rican Episcopal Conference,also announced the designation of Father Thomas Dorney, S.J., as coordinator of all activities for the day.

Father Dorney, director of the Puerto Rican Center for Peace-­ a non-political, non-denomina­ tional association which orients and counsels those who are draft objectors for religious or other reasons--has also been en­ trusted with the formation of a Puerto Rican Commission for Justice and Peace.

Archbishop Aponte exhorted all Catholics, as well as other Christians, and civil authorities here to promote and sponsor peace wilth various events and activities. .Are YOU' bein~, call~d to • ~ t serve GOD as a contemplative NUN~' in the Dominican Cloister?

Brooklyn Diocesan Paper's Contest Seeks Good Hymn to Sing at Baptism Rite BROOKLYN (NC)-There's a $100 prize awaiting'someone who writes a good text for a bap­

The donor of the award is the Tablet, Brooklyn diocesan paper, which is sponsoring the contest, prompted ;by a question asked by editor Don Zirkel.

In a column following the baptism of his ninth child, Zir­ kel wondered: "Does anyone know a good bymn to sing at a Baptism ceremony?"

A reader, Father Joseph Roff, composer in residence at St. Joseph's College for Women here, offered to write the music for one if someone else would supply the words. Thus the con­ test was ,born.

Reader reaction has been en­ thusiastic. Laity, priests and Re­ ligious, young and old have re­ sponded to the challenge.

College in Chicago Now Co-Educational CHICAGO (NC) - St. Xavier College, Chicago's oldest Cath­ olic women's college, conducted by the Sisters of Mercy, will soon become the area's newest co-educational institution.

Mother Mary Paulita Morris, R.S.M., has announced that the trustees have approved a recom­ mendation by a self-study com­ mittee to -admit men into the undergraduate programs, ending a l2l-year-old tradition.

Under the new admissions policy, effective immediately, men transfer students will be accepted for the Spring 1969 semester, -beginning Feb. 3.

Acclamations The new eucharistic prayers keep returning to this theme: "By suffering on the cross, He freed us from unending death, and by rising from the dead, He gave us eternal life."

The new canons will not nor­ mally be printed in the missals of the laity. The congregation should listen and ~~sorb the sense of what is said; "it-should profit by the clearer, more bal­ anced wording of the canons in which God is praised and blessed.

However, the congregation's role is not merely passive. The ritual to be followed provides for "memorial acclamations" by the faithful so that they may ex­ press their faith and ratify will­ ingly the priest's prayer.

People Involved Four times, the canons will involve the people more directly and vocally in the praying of the Mass. Besides the parts that are proper to the people (Ordi­ nary: Kyrie, Gloria, Creed, Our Father, Lamb of God, ¢ ¢ ¢ Prop­ er: Entrance, Offertory and Communion Antiphons and the responses to the Readings, e.g., Gradual and Alleluia) the can­ ons provide for "memorial ac­ clamations."

The memorial acclamations will be offered (1) at the be­ ginning of the Canon (introduc­ t:-9n to preface); (2) the Sanc­ tus; (3) the response to the Con­ secration; (4) the final "Amen."

New among the above is the resp'onse to the Consecration, very dear and normal to Cath­ olics of the Eastern rites. The l).ew version, however, is even more effective.

Better Sung After the Consecration, the priest will invite the congrega­ tion to show its faith. He will state, "Let us proclaim the mys­ tery of faith." The people will respond: "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again."

It is recommended that even if the texts of the Mass are read and not sung that these three acclamations-the answer to the Consecration, the Sanctus ariS the Amen-be sung.

SAN JUAN (NC) - Puerto Rico is still a victim of colonial­ ism and paternalism, opines Bishop Antulio Parrilla Bonilla, s.J., a former auxiliary Bishop of Caguas, who i~ a leader in the Puerto Rican independence movement. .

The Jesuit prelate has no di­ ocesan duties. He teaches at Puerto Rico's state university, here and at the Catholic Univer­ sity in Ponce. The Bishop is a pioneer in Puerto Rico's cooper­ ative farm, movement and a former rector of Ponce's major seminary.

State of 'Inferiority "There are two sets of con­ ditions ,in out island which .amount to 'a critical violation of human dignity," he said.

"One is the continuation of coloniaism, however disguised under attractive names and in spite of a certain autonomy hi the public administration. The burden of' such 'stigma is wor­ sened by the fact that other peoples have been decolonized. ."The other set of conditions, resulting from the first, is pater­ nalism, which keeps our people in a state of inferiority in all fields-poHtical, social, econom­ ic, cultural and religious."

"This has been going on for 500 years," the Bishop' added.

The island of Puerto Rico was settled and governed by Span­ iards since the early tyears of the 16th century. In 1898 the

island became a United States possession after the spanish­ American War, and is now a self-governing commonwealth.

Full Independ,ence Bishop Parilla asserted that paternalism "permeates all as­ pects of our lives: the home, where parents neglect to raise children in the proper use of freedom; the school, subservient to the established order; the factory, an irritant in industrial relations.

Even trade unions have copied paternal'istic aspects of the U. S. labor movement," Bishop Parilla said. "There is paternalism within our churches, as is evident in the lack of dialogue."

Bishop Parilla said that full economic and political inde­ pendence must be achieved through united, peaceful efforts, in order to "save the common good and true characteristics of our people."

Proposes Change SAN JUAN (NC)-A Puerto Rican attorney has proposed here that Thanksgiving Day be transferred to the Day of Dis­ covery of Puerto Rico, thus sep­ arating it from the history and culture of the United States. He also asked that the day be ob­ served as a full holiday.

Archbishop Casimiro Morcillo Gonzalez said "the Pope (Jlaul VI) himself has disapproved of such groups and with the same force we disapprove of them in. our diocese."

The archbishop called the groups small, dissident entities of "Christians who, putting hu­ mility aside, proclaim them:' selves not bound to thesucces­ sors of the Apostles and of Peter."

~[J1)~[)'@@~@ ffi5®f1uOrru@ ~ [?@[J1) ~ QD [)'{}'@ 0[J1) CINCINNATI (NC)-Re­ ligious vocations are on the rise behind the Iron Curtain, in developing nations of Af­ rica and Asia-but are declining in the United States, Canada and Western Europe.

The observation was made in a study of religious vocations presented to the Council of' In­ ternational Union of Superiors GQJ1eral at its recent session in Rome.

Mother General Mary Omer of the Sisters of Charity of Cin­ cinnati, one of two representa­ tives at the Rome meeting, dis­ cussed reasons for the opposite trends during an interview at the Mount St. Joseph mother­ house of the sisterhood.

The other U. S. representative was Sister Mary Luke, superior general of the Sisters of Loret­ to, Nerinx, Ky. Hardships Suffered "In countries where people have suffered great hardships, where there is oppression of re­ ligion and of religious life, vo­ cations are on the increase," Mother Mary Omer said.

"I feel there is something to be learned from this," she added. "We must make religious life more challenging."

She compared the increase in vocations in Iron Curtain and developing nations with the flourishing of religion and reli­ gious vocations in Ireland dur­ ing the centuries of religious persecution there.

She also cited the hardships suffered by pioneer Sisters of Charity in the western states during the latter half of the 19th century, calling attention to the journal on her desk in which one of those Sisters re­ corded her exper.iences.

'Tremenll.ous Women' "Heretofore we suffered," Mother Mary Omer said, "but the girl who comes into reli­ gious life today already has everything, and even after en­ tering the order enjoys many of the benefits of the affluent so­ ciety."

Mother Mary Omer, chairman of the U. S. Conference of Major Superiors of Women, said reli­ gious women from Iron Curtain countries are "tremendous wom­ en" who seem to possess a "stronger motivation."

Although religious communi­ ties in Poland, for example, are limited mostly to the work of ministering to the elderly and the insane, they are' attracting increasing numbers of dedicated women, she said.

"I never saw anything like them," Mother Mary Orner said.

Cites Reasons Among the reasons cited by the superiors at the Rome ses­ sion for the decline in religious vocations in the western coun­ tries, she said, were "a break­ down in family life," a spirit of secularism," changes in the Church "unrest and confusion in the world," and "our affluent society."

But despite the "terrific handicaps" confronting today's youths, they possess "a tremen­ dous potential," and there is reason for optimism about the future of vocations in this country, Mother Mary Orner said.

She pointed out that "commu­ nities are taking women at a later age" than formerly. She added: "I feel there will be fewer Sisters for a while, but the trend will again be up­ ward."

"What can we do together?" he asked. "Are there not prob­ lems on which we have some­ thing to say, together, as Chris­ tians?"

"We should ask ourselves whether, faced with the net re­ treat of faith and religious prac­ tice felt in all churches, there is not something which could be done together," the arch­ bishop continued.

UIl'ges Catholics

Pray for Peace

In North beland

Parish and Eucharist The Eucharistic Day of Prayer that has supplanted the_ Forty Hours Devotion service places adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as the Fruit of the Sacrifice of the Mass exactly where Catholic devotion has always placed it-at the very heart of spirituality. .

We are in an age when much stress is placed on action, a reaction against lethargy and non-involvement. But action for activity's sake can be not only non-productive but merely the expenditure of nervous energy. It can be even mis­ chievous.

The turning to Christ to adore Him, the seeking of a deeper union with Him, the opening of mind and will to the varied nuances of His message-all this is the purpose of the Day of Prayer that each parish in the Diocese will observe around the Eucharist. The very compactness of the Day of Prayer is not an invitation "to get the whole thing over with in a little time" but is a pledge of a deeper degree of concentration with the deeper impact that this shorter period will-hopefully-have on the parish family.

Make It Last Despite \all the merchandising and commercializing of the Christmas Season, it is also a fact that there is an undercurrent of good will toward others that touches the heart of just about everyone. This good feeling may be a vague and nebulous thing but one senses it at this time of year and there is the hope that it would linger.

The Church always recognizes this kind of thing, and that is why she encourages a period of preparation for any feast, a time of prayer and penance and thought. Then when the feast does come, the encouragement is to prolong it over a period of time, to take its mood and stretch this out, to let the joy and meaning of the feast live on in an active and vital way fora while.

It has been said that many an age, this one included, does not know how to sacrifice in preparation for a feast.

It could be likewise true that it does not know how to enjoy a feast. A few days of shopping,. one day of feasting and unwrapping and celebrating, and the next day - busi­ ness as usual. What short shrIft this would make of Christmas!

Northern Ireland has 'Q.een hit by riots and other civil disturb­ ances as a result of a series of demonstrations by Catholics de­ manding fairer treatment from the Protestant majority. The demonstrations provoked coun­ terdemonstrations by Protestant extremists, with violence result­ -ing.

The cardinal's request for prayers followed an appeal by Prime Minister Terence O'Neill for restraint and end to the growing disorders.

In calling for the prayers in the churches of the archdiocese, Cardinal Conway praised a radio-TV speech by Prime Min­ .JA.N.~ 'ister O'Neill in which he warned that "we are on the brink of chaos" and appealed to Catholic PEACE civil rights leaders to call off DAY street demonstrations "before blood is shed."

The cardinal called O'Neill's statement "very wise and states­ . manlike" and expressed "the hope that all sections of the To be Recited on Sunday, January 5th community will ponder thc premier's words carefully.

CANBERRA (NC) - A grant by the Australian government will enable <O::atholic school au­ thorities in the Australian .Cap­ ital Territory to resume build­ ing programs curtailed because of a lack of capital, according to Archbishop Thomas V. Cahill of Canberra and Goulburn.

The government announced the grant of approximately $3.6 million to assist independent school building programs. The

Private School Aid minister of education, John M. Fraser, said the federal' govern­ ment will pay over 20 years the outstanding capital eosts of independent schools built in the federal -territory between 1956 and 1965 at an ·estimated annual cost of about $180,000.00 Earl-ier in 1968 Catholic au­ thorities decided to suspend the construction of new Catholic schools until more federal aid was given.

NOTRE DAME (NC)-A com­ mittee of faculty members and administrators at the University of Notre Dame has agreed with student demands for more black representation at the university.

The committee, whose mem­ bers were chosen 'by Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., Notre Dame president, endorsed proposals for more black stu­ dents, professors and adminis­ trators, black history and cul­ ture courses, and scholarship funds for blacks. Only about 70 of the university's 5,500 students are Negroes.

French Catholics Express Loya Ity To Pope Paul PARIS (NC) - A group of prominent French Catho­ lic laymen have expressed "their obedience and their filial attachment" in a letter ad­ dressed to Pope Paul VI. The letter was made public almost two weeks after the pub­ lication of a letter to the Pope by a group of 744 French Cath­ olics denouncing the remnants of secular power in the Church and its alleged failure to follow Christ's call to poverty.

Among the signers of the sec­ ond letter are several men who h'ave been prominent in French Catholicism since the Second World War: Edmond Michelet, former minister of justice; nov­ elist Francois Mauriac; philos­ opher Etienne Gilson, a member of the French Academy; Olivier Lacome, former president of the Center for French Catholic In­ tellectuals.

Also Henri Rollet, president of the International Federation of Catholic Men; Charles Flory, former president of the French Social Weeks; and Jacques de Bourbon-Busset, president of Secours Catholique, the French Catholic Charities agency.

"At the end of 1968," they wrote, "we want to express to you our gratitude for the pro­ fession of faith and for all the teachings by which you have affirmed the pr'inciples of the faith and of Catholic discipline.

Deposit of Faith "We tell you our sadness and our scandalization caused by at­ tacks against your person and your teaching as well as by those aimed at the Catholic hierarchy."

They continued: "In the face of the proliferation of errors concerning the worship of God, the historicity of the Gospels, the Real Presence, and the. ec­ clesiastical ministry, we wish that the hIerarchy of the Church may fully exercise its function which Is that of maintaining intact the deposit of faith.

"We ask that priests, who are 'too few for the immense needs of the Christian community and for the mission to non-Chris­ tians, may. continue, except for a special vocation, to be devoted to their sacred task of teaching us the word of God and of giv­ ing us the sacraments."

'Benedictines Offer Nine Scho~(lJrships ST. MEINRAD (NC) - The Seminary College of St. Mein­ rad Archabbey, conducted by the Benedictines here in Indiana, has made available nine new scholarships for applicants to the freshman class of 1969-1970.

Designed to recognize quali­ fied students who are interested in the priesthood, the scholar­ ships will be awarded on the basis of nationwide competition.

Scholarships of $1000 each wlll be avallable to three appli­ cants, while six others will be awarded $500 scholarships. Each scholarship will be renewed an­ nually during the four under­ graduate years provided the stu­ dent retains a cumulatiye grade point average of 2.25 on a 3.00 system, it was announced.

Back to Far North Hunting Grounds

OTTAWA (NC)-Father Bernard Brown, O.M.L, is arousing people-power. And he's doing it for-of all places-the frozenvastIands inside the Arctic Circle 1,000 miles north of Edmonton, Alta. He's calling the Hareskin Indians back to hUI1ting and trapping from the lure of easy life-in reality unemployment, liquor and degredation on the fringes of booining towns and trading posts in the Northwest Territories. He's a voice in the wilderness, calling from Colville Lake 110 miles north of Fort Good Hope, tl'laditional hunting in the grounds of the Hareskins. And he is being heard, at least faint­ ly, both by the Indians and gov­ ernment officials. He has 'a mes­ sage for both.

For the Indians: Come back to where you can work and live with dignity, and enjoy a stable family situation.

For government offidals and educators: Break the chain of circumstances that lures Indians away from their traditional ways or subtly undermines their interest and pride in hunting and trapping. And he spells out the links.

Air of Permanency When Father Brown, a native of Rochester, N. Y., and an Ob­ late of Mary Immaculate mis­ sionary in the north for 20 years, came to Colville Lake in 1962, he found two dozen Haresklns living in dilapidated log cabins and tents. Since then more than 50 other Hareskins have re­ turned to the old vlllage, taken up the traditional ways, and re­ placed every building with new log structures.

They have built a new log church, community hall and a six-bunk cabin with a picture window for tQurist hU!1ting and fishing parties. An independent trader has set up shop at the opposite end of the village.

There is an air of permanency about Our Lady the Snows mission at Colville Lake.

Father Brown and the log church give a focus to the com­ munity. He calls the project "a FATHER BERNARD regrouping" of the Hareskins, a

By Barba1'a Wm'd In the interminable record of war- that darkens so large a part of human history, one cause of conflict recurs.

In areas lying uneasily betwe~n great powers, a local dis­ pute starts up. Each side looks to a rival outside protector.

These outsiders are drawn in. The conflict escalates to is beginning to think about a general war. In the classical shift from violence to accommo­ dation in international rela­ Balkan situation before the tions?

By Marilyn Roderick All the holly, tinsel and glitter won't be on the tree this hoiday season of 1968-a great deal of it will be on the damsels trimming it. Silver is everywhere, in' the dresses, round the waist, dripping from the ears, on the legs and even covering dainty' toes. Dresses will not be the fullness of the cuffline, higher oniy adornment worn by the heels than those you usually wear with tailored slacks must holiday hostess and her be worn. Heel-wise, these shoes

guests. Pants, hostess, that is, or party pants as many prefer to call them, will be the chic thing to wear to those Christmas and New Year galas.

The newest look in pants, of. course, is the wide,. bottomed look, worn with a much higher heel than your tapered trousers r e q u' ir e .d.

If these pants are worn dressy, they are generally teamed with an overblouse or tunic top. If the top is long enough it can separate itself from the pants and venture out. on its own as the miniest of minis.

Some of these pant looks for the holidays are quite lovely, especially when done up in one of the luxury fabrics such as velvet, satin or brocade. Crepe, too, is one of the most popular fabrics in which to whip up a hostess outfit. The fluidity of this fabric makes it perfect for the flowing pants and graceful tops that designers are touting as the holiday look'.

It wasn't very long ago that I voiced my disapproval of the surging popularity of the wear­ ing of long pants to even the dressiest places. My scepticism is not as strong as it was, for I have seen some very smaslring pant outfits since that writing.

Good for Shopping Only the other eveni.ng, while Christmas shopping, I viewed two 'handsome pant suits on women shoppers. -It was a bitter cold evening and these two women who were attired so smartly appeared to be more ap­ propriately dressed than any of the other shoppers freezing to death in their short coats.

The pants that appear to look best with a matching jacket have the flared bottoms and also a finishing cuff. Because of the

Uriiversity Cancels Plans for Building DAYTON (NC)-The Univer­ sity of Dayton and the McCall Corporation have mutually agreed that plans for. a new building on the university cam­ pus will not be carried forward.

The project envisioned the construction of a $4,000,000 building by the university. Part of the structure would have been occupied by the McCall Informa'Uon Services Company to house its computer complex and personnel; the other part would have been designed for classroom, office and laborator~' space for the university's com­ puter science and mathematics department.

A university spokesman said complications arising out of' the combination of education and business ventures to be housed in a university-owned campus building made it financially un­ feasible for eIther party to con­ tinue the arrangement.

Back they are, however, and they prove to be the finishing touch these pant suits need.

Marvelous Gift Along with all the electric curl sets, electric h;lir dryers, nail buffers, facial saunas and other mechanical marvels that found their way under the fash­ ionable female's' Christmas tree, there was no doubt a smart­ looking pant suit bought by hubby. Personally speaking, I would imagine this to be a mar­ ~elous gi!t. Gifts should have a bit of frivolify about them';'. >I> a bit of the, "well I wouldn't buy it for myself, but it's cer­ tainly a great deal of fun to re­ ceive."

These pant suits will be wel­ comed by those females who are usually gifted with a sheer nightgown that they certainly don't need in December (hUS­ bands, save those filmy laces for Mother's Day, when the weather is in accord) or an expensive bottle of perfume that the baby ends up spilling. These pant suits are up-to-the-minute, practical, ",arm; and very good looking.

Survey Stresses Clergy Involvement with Youth ST. PAUL (NC)-A survey of the attitudes of Catholics in the St. Paul and Minneapolis arch­ diocese toward religious voca­ tions shows a need for more dergy involvement with' youth, for an effort to make celibacy more appealing or for' a move to relax celibacy requirements, according to Father John G. Donahue, archdiocesan vocations director.

The survey, which contained two multiple-choice attitudinal questions, was taken throughout ·the archdiocese in connection with a campaign for the support of religious vocations. Some 80,000 persons took part in the survey. Their average age was 33.

Responses to the questions in­ dicated "that priests, Brothers and Sisters must exert greater efforts at getting closer to and being .sincerely interested in youth," Father Donahue said.

The other major implication from the survey, he said, is "that something must be done either to make the celibate life more appealing than the married life or to change the age-old laws requiring our clergy and Reli­ gious to be celibate."

Reports on DetroWs' Opportunity Program

When in 1914 Serbian revolution­ aries murdered the Austrian Archduke Fer­ dinand the spark was given to the holocaust that consumed Europe and with it the whole 19th century dream of unfetter'ed human progress.

Threat of Destruction Are we doing any better now?

One gleam of hope seems to lie in the greater prudence of the Great Powers. Over Cuba, Rus­ sia withdrew its missiles. The United States tacitly agreed to live with the Castro thorn in its side. Wars have been halted, not escalated, in India and the Mid­ dle East. Berlin remains divided and vulnerable. Yet it is allowed to survive.

But no one would call this re­ straint under ,the shadow of nu­ clear destruction anything but hair-raisingly precarious. It is as though the world had to live perpetually holding its breath'.

Restraint is something-but it is light years away from the sense of human order 'and community on a world scale which under­ lies the great encyclicals Pacem in Terris or Populorum Progres­ sio. Is their vision no more than a Utopian longing? Have we any evidence that men can in fact manage the positive policies and i~stitutions'of an orderly world?

At least they have done so' at home. If, say, a race riot breaks out, the rival groups are not permitted to spread the violence in ever widening circles until the entire community is ablaze.

The police and the security

Not much, to be sure. The old primeval claim to tribal primacy which we inherit from a hUj)­ dred millenia of history dies as slowly as "the old Adam" which, in part, it is. Yet there are hints of a different future. In Cyprus, an impartial U.N. police separ­ ates Turk and Greek from mu­ tual genocide. The "race riot" is contained. In the <;:ongo, a much more ambitious U.N. police op­ eration held the frail new nation together and prevented its frag­ mentation-like a Korea or a Vietnam-into two nations and two governments bitterly divided by ideology and working for each other's overthrow.

International police actions are thus more than theoretically conceivable. They can happen and be in fact more effective than the so-called "police ac­ tions" of Great Powers. When the Soviet scientist, Andrei Sakharov, calls for a U.N. police force to intervene whenever hu­ ' man rights are violated, he goes far beyond ,the readiness of any Power, great or small, to. re­ spond. But the thrust of his thinking may well make more ultimate sense than what 'has happened -in Czechoslovakia or during the escalation of the war in Vietnam. . Recourse to Law The s,econd aspect of internal "crisis management" ­ the re­ course to law-has also very few working examples at the inter­ 'national level once we leave the great web of economic and prac­ tical regulations ­ customs, air control, maritime conventions health rules - -by which our world economy is unsensation­ ally underpinned.

Basic Christmas Sentiment One of Goodwill to All

Thurs., Dec. 26, 1968

Florida Women Form 'Counc i,

By Joseph and Mm'ilyn Roderick

By the time this article appears, Santa Claus will have arrived and deposited his goodies under the tree. The children will be flying as high as Santa, daddy may have a slight hangover from too much Yuletide cheer, and mother will be utterly exhausted. All that big fat goose and that of this may seem out of keep­ brandy-laden pudding. Certain­ ing with the idea of Christ­ ly the admonishing of Scrooge mas but I am sure it is more by the three ghosts to keep often the case than not.

It Is no different in our house.

Each year we vow that the meaning of Christmas will not be lost in the hubbub of excite­ ment which surrounds it, but Christmas does overwhelm us all. Nevertheless it Is in the quiet moments when the family is together that we do somehow try to impart some of the values that we want our children to take away with them; the spirit of giving, of family sharing, of conviviality and charity.

Out of Keeping At t:imes we yearn for the serenity and quiet of a Currier and Ives Christmas but this would be out of keeping with our present way of living. Ex­ cept In Isolated rural commu­ nities, Christmas is a busy time of visoJting relatives and ex­ changing gifts, and no longer do we settle before a fire relaxing In the bosom of our families.

Ten years ago I would have said that our loss of serenity would have been a shame, but after 10 years of marriage I suppose that it is more in keeping with our urbanized society to keep on the move.

In fact, I wo.uld suggest that the meaning of Cnristmas is relevant to what we do today, not what was fashionable in Victorian times.

Christmas should not be a break in our lives but a continuation of it, with as little stress as possible.

So dad, don't scream bloody murder when you find yourself lugging the kids off to Aunt Martha's, and then to Uncle Tom's, etc., relax and enjoy it.

And please mother let's not scream at each child every time he spills cocoa over his new clothes or refuses to share a­ toy. Relax and enjoy the whole process.

Christmas could be taken to heart by most of us who spend the frantic pre-holiday hours in a frenzy of preparation, shop­ ping and worrying with little thought for the true meaning of the season.

Pop Art 'll'ree This year our eelebration is not as happy as usual, due to the recent death of my father, but at least our Christmas tree has managed to be put up and decorated. Even Dickens' char­ acters would look askance at this bit of pop art that we call our tree, for each member of the family has had a hand in dec­ orating it. The results are a bit of a hodge-podge, but we love it.

Each year of school is repre­ sented in, the decorations..

There's the round' ornament made from the top of a milk bottle and bits of Christmas cards that Melissa made in Sis­ ter Mary David's class, there's the evidence of our feeble at­ tempt to make salt and starch decorations (each year they get a bit more crumbly) and of course there's the heavy glass. ornament that came from my mother's tree years ago.

Each one of us in each c(>un­ try of the globe celebrates this holy season in his own special way but basically the message of good will to all is universal.

Remember, even Scrooge gave up saying "Hftm bug" !

Here's a recipe worth using during the fun-filled holidays when your entertaining is at an all time high.

Sister Mary Honora said: "Edgecliff will continue as a Catholic liberal arts college for women.

"This step is being taken only after comprehensive review of the various aspects affecting continuous growth and develop­ ment of the college."

Church Council Backs School Prayer Ban ATLANTA (NC)-The Geor­ gia Council of Churches gave its approval to the U. S. Supreme Court decision banning prayer in public schools, and raised ob­ jection to the ways in which re­ ligious holidays are observed In the schools.

The ecumenical body, repre­ senting 11 major denominations in Georgia, called for govern­ ment neutrality in matters of religious beliefs, and further proposed that baccalaureate ser­ vices not be held under public school auspices.

The council, in a resolution approved at its annual meeting, declared Its opposition "to the use of the power or influence of government to promote any re­ ligious beliefs, even those held in common by most citizens."

ORLANDO (NC) - Members of Catholic women's associations In the Miami archdiocese and the St. Augustine, Orlando and St. Petersburg dioceses formed a prpvincial council of the Na­ tional Council of Catholic Wom­ en ath an organizational meet­ ing here.

Mrs. Thomas F. Palmer, third vice-president of NCCW, pre­ sided at the meeting, which in­ cluded presidents and priest­ moderators of the diocesan councils of Catholic women.

In statements issued on be­ half of Florida's Catholic wom­ en, the council expressed grati­ tude to Pope Paul VI for his "positive statement concerning conjugal love and responsible parenthood," and said Catholic women in FloriOa, "unite with our bishops in proclaiming this doctrine."

"Fully aware of the popula­ tion problems and family frus­ trations and anxieties confront­ ing today's world, we would en­ dorse scientific research which would be helpful in licit family planning. At this time of chal­ lenge and change, we accept the responsibility which is ours to promote a prayerful, reflective study of 'Humanae Vitae' and the U. S. bishops' pastoral among our membership," the council declared.

The new name "reflects more than geographical location," she pointed out. "We have gradu­ ated women from across the United State.s and many for­ eign countries."

She said Edgecliff was the name of the Emery estate which formed the nucleus of the col­ lege's campus.

The college, which opened in 1935 with an enrollment of 42 students, now has an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students.

CHICAGO (NC) - A survey taken among Catholic school su­ perintendents in the six Illinois dioceses found that mounting financial problems have forced the closing of nearly 30 elemen­ tary schools and two high schools during the past three years.

Several Catholic high schools have also been consolidated during the period.

At least four more Catholic . grade schools will shut their doors in the next six months, two high schools in Joliet are in immediate trouble, numerous grade and high schools are in "critical" financial straits, and the future of two more is "under study." .

Interviewed in the survey, taken by The New World, Chi­ cago archdiocesan paper, were the superintendents of the Peoria, Joliet, Rockford, Belle­ ville and Springfield dioceses and the archdiocese of Chicago.

All six priests said that en­ rollments are continuing to drop because of a lack of sufficient operating funds.

WASHINGTON (NC) ­ At least 500,000 homes and apartments for the poor, and two million more for other Americans must be built each year if the nation is to meet the housing needs of all its people according to the National Commission on Urban Problems.

Former Illinois Senator Paul Douglas is chairman of the com­ mission which has made the rec­ ommendation in its final report to the President and Congress.

Inadequate Programs Douglas' group,' while con­ cerned with immediately alle­ viating the housing problem of the nation's poor, directed the major share of its attention toward finding ways of keeping the housing problem solved. , . Not only has housing for the poor been inadequate in the past, but crash .programs, or sudden spurts in building, do not con­ tribute. to a' real solution, the commission rePQrt says.

"The past has been character­ ized by inadequate programs with low priorities, with widely vacillating support from the Congress, carried out by a frac­ tionalized industry on the suf­ ferance of a largely indifferent . or on occasion hostile bureauc­ racy," it stresses.

Sisters Relinquish Control of Hospital TRINIDAD (NC)-The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Ohio, who have staffed Mt. San Rafael Hospital here in Colorado for the past 79 years, have donated the hospital and grounds to the Trinidad Area Health Associa­ tion, Inc., for the care of the people of Trinidad. .

Sister Beatrix, hospital ad­ ministrator,announced that the hospital will be non-profit and will be operated by the Presby­ terian Medical Services of the Southwest, effective .Jan. 1.

Bishop Charles A. Buswell of' Pueblo, in whose diocese the hospital is located, praised the Sisters for their "many years of loving service" in the Trinidad area, and expressed the grati­ tude of all "for what the Sisters have done for the sick and for the needy throughout the entire area" of southern Colorado.

CLINTON (NC),-Laymen and priests of the Davenport diocese are being asked to come up with viable plans for reorganizing - or perhaps eliminating - Catholic schools in -the diocese.

"Maintaining the status quo would mean there would be no Catholic schools in five years," said Sister Ann Therese, dioc­ esan superintendent of schools.

"The decision must be made now."

Options include strengthening existing schooois where possible, for min g new consolidated schools" and closing schools and turning to religious education programs exclusively.

The Davenport diocese has 11 diocesan and parochial high schools enrolling about 3,500 students and some 45 parochial elementary schools with about 9,000 students.

Decisions will be based on guidelines drafted by the dioc­ esan education office and edu­ cation board. The guidelines are being presented to groups of pastors, curates, teachers and parishioners in five separate meetings) in five areas of the diocese.

Following the area meetings, parish meetings will be held this month to consider -the guidelines and regional plans. Parish offi­ cials, school personnel and lay representatives will then hold a series of meetings tlJl reach a,con­ sensus on the fate of individual schools.

Stresses Immediate Decision The approved plan for each school and at least one alterna­ tive will then be supmitted to a panel consisting of the diocesan board of educa,tion, superiors of the three principal religious communities which conduct schools in the diocese, represen­ tatives of the diocesan education and religious education offices, and the chairmen of the dioc­ esan Sisters' council, the educa­ tion committee of the diocesan lay council and the priests' sen­ ate. The panel's decision regarding each school in the diocese is scheduled to be announced Jan. 16.

Sister Ann Therese stressed the urgency of making an imme­ diate decision about Catholic education in the diocese at a meeting of the diocesan board of education.

Among the factors adding to the urgency of the situation, she said, is the expectation of a de­ cline of 15 per cent in the num­ ber of teaching Sisters available to schools in the diocese in the immediate future.

School Consolidation "Our educational system is eroding because parents fear the closing of our schools and grad­ ually have taken their young­ sters out of, them and placed them in nearby public facilities," she said.

Discussing the possibility of school consolidation, she said two or more schools in an area could join their student bodies in a single facility at a single location.

Sister Ann Therese said an­ other possibility is for parish­ ioners to ask the superintend­ ent's office for permission to close their schools. Such permis­ sion will not be given, she said, unless it is evident the school in question cannot continue and the parish comes up with a plan for religious education accept­ able to the diocesan religious education office.

Priority for Catholic-Jewish Relations Fraternal Dispositions Motivate Secretariat NEW YORK (NC)-The Sec­ retariat for Catholic-Jewish Re­ lations, a division of the U.· S. Bishops' Committee -for Ecu­ menical and Interreligious Af­ fairs, has urged that Catholic Jewish :rela'Hons be accorded high priority in the renewal of the Church.

Bishop Francis P. Leipzig of Baker, Ore., episcopal modera­ tor of the secretariat, attended its meeting here.

The meeting was chaired by Msgr. John M. Oesterreicher, director of the InsHtute of Judaeo-Christian Studies of Seton Hall University, South Orange, N. J., 'and a member of the secretariat's executive com­ mittee.

The statement adopted at the secretariat's meeting expressed the hope that Catholic initiative in promoHng and furthering Catholic - Jewish understanding "will beaccep·ted by 'all seg­ ments of the Jewish community ­ as motivated exclusively by fraternal dispositions."

Dedicate Tri-Faith Housing Project NEW YORK (NC)-eatholic, Protestant and J'ewish leaders took part in the dedication of a new midq.le-income cooperative housing development here spon­ sored by clergy, parishioners and congregation of the three faiths.

Known as Tri-&aith House and located in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, the devel­ opment provides housing for 148 families, most of them dis­ placed by public or private dem­ olition of their former homes.

It was built with tax abatement and below-market interest as­ sistance provided by the city through the Housing and Devel­ opment Administration.

Participating in the dedication ceremony were Msgr. Harry J. Byrne, chancellor of the New York archdiocese, Rabbi Daniel L. Davis of the Union of Amer­ ican Hebrew Congregations, and the Rev. Clarke Kimerly Oler, pastor of Holy Trinity Episcopal church.

"Suspicions of insincerity and proselytism stultify fruitful con­ versations," the statement said.

"Cooperation demands recipro­ city and promotes mutual re­ spect."

The statement commended J'ewish aid to the starving- dur­ ing the Biafra-Nigeria conflict asa "milestone in the develop­ ment of Jewish-ChrisHan coop­ eration."

Middle East Situation "American Jews," the state­ ment said, "have proven, to use a Biblical term, their 'righteous­ ness,'and have once more made us their debtors."

Noting the "continuing vio­ lence and the resultant danger­ ous situation which perpetuates itseU in the Middle East," the

Ends Compulsory Mass Policy CINCINNATI (NC) - Xavier University here will discontinue the requirement that students must attend a number of Masses on campus each year.

The ,action followed a petition against the requirement and a boycott last month of an annual Mass for deceased students, alumni and faculty. Both actions were sponsored ,by the student council.

Father Edward J. O'Connor, S.J., university president, said that $1 fines for non-attendance at last month's Mass would have to be paid. He called on student leaders to encourage voluntary attendance at future Masses.

At the time of the boycott in November, the student council issued a policy statement ex­ plaining it was not opposed to the Mass "·as such."

"We are boycotting the fine levied at those students who do not attend," the council said.

"We{ feel that a compulsory Mass, coupled with a monetary

fine, is degrading to the act of

community. worship."

The boycott was said to be 85 per cent effective. Students and

fa'culty members who supported

it Iater attended another Mass

in the university's Bellarmine chapel.

statement urged that "a right perspective be maintained in evaluating this difficult situa­

tion," calling for prayer "not only for peace in that area,but also' for justice for both sides in the conflict."

The statement expressed alarm over the "ever-widening es­ trangement between black and white people in the United States," and noted that "this alienation has recently emerged in the form of antagonism against Jews."

Aware of Injustice Acknowledging the "leader­ ship and. devotion Jews have given to the civil rights move­

ment," the statElment expresed "painful awareness" of the "in­ justices inflicted through white racism upon black people."

"Unless all Americans ac­ knowledge the rights and dignity of every group and individual,

'black or white, Christian or Jew, the rights and dignity of no' one are safe."

The statement asserted that Christian scholars should give particular attention to the "use of Holy Scriptures as a possible occasion of anti-Semitism."

"Many eurrent liturgical read­ ings can be, for theologically uninstructed ears, the source of serious misunderstanQing of the Jews," the statement said. It urged Scriptural scholars to "address themselves to this problem of ancient language usage which has provocative overtones in our times."

WASHINGTON (NC) - A

of the board also ended a 101­

All three disputes centered on crew sizes, with union officials demanding the restoration of additional men, to train and yard crews. The union contend­ ed that the extra positions are vital to safety. The railroads maintained that improved sig­ naling and operating methods made the additional crewmen unnecessary.

Portia nd Diocese Drops 40 Hours From Liturgy PORTLAND (NC) - Co­ adjutor Bishop Peter L. Ger-, ety, apostolic administrator of the Portland, Me. Diocese, has distributed to the clergy of the diocese guidelines on Eu­ charistic worship which state that the Forty Hours Devotion is no longer required as part of the Church's liturgy.'

The Forty Hours Devotion, which has been observed once a year in every parish of the dio­ cese, may now be replaced by a solemn annual Eucharistic ex­ position, although this is not mandatory, according to the guidelines" which were devel­ oped ,by the diocesan liturgical commission.

"The Sacrifice of the Mass in­ cludes in a, more perfect , way that spiritual communion to which exposition should lead the faithful," the guidelines state.

"It is precisely because ,the people now have a better under­ standing of -the Mass and are more frequently united to Christ through sacramental communion that the Church no longer re­ quires the FOfty Hours Devo­ , tion."

No Assigned Da'tes T~e guidelines urged that the liturgical commission of the par­ ish board be given an active role in planning the solemn ex­ position - participation of the laity in the Mass, Scripture service and Benediction, 'by means of song and dialogue. A special folk-Mass could ,be plan~ed for high school students, the guidelines stated.

Bishop Gerety informed the clergy that those parishes which have already announced and made arrangements for Forty Hours Devotion may observe this devotion in accordance with arrangements already made. He said there will be no assigned dates for next year for parish observation of the Forty Hours.

The Appeals Court said: "We conclude from the record before us that appellant's long-held convictions are the product of upbringing 'and sincere religious belief."

Judge Wilfred Feinberg said an induction notice had not "stimulated an apparently slum­ \ bering conviction of conscien­ tious objection to war." He noted' that Purvis' father was a Quaker who "had strong con­ victions and domiIiated the fam­ ily."

Welfare Age'ncy Seeks Change In ADC Law NEWARK (NC) - The Essex County Welfare Board has filed a suit in U.S. Dis­ trict Court here in New Jer­ sey.

The law, passed in 1967, was scheduled to go into effect July 1, 1968, but the effective date was changed when a number of state welfare agencies protested.

The law would set a "freezez" on the federal payment to states for the operation of Aid to De­ pendent Children, the second­ largest welfare program in the nation. In effect, it would limit the federal welfare payments .to the amount paid on Jan. 1968, despite the fact that the number of ADC applicants is growing rapidly.

The Essex County Welfare Board charged in its suit that the limitation "inevitably oper­ ates in a racially discriminatory manner." The board administers public assistance programs in the city of Newark-which is 60 per cent Negro and the sur­ rounding area. The large major­ ity of Essex County welfare re­ cipients are Negro.

Hollow Mockery' The suit notes that Congress has de~lared that no one is to be excluded from federally funded programs on the basis of race, but that the new limits make "a hollow mockery of this expres­ sion of concern for minority groups."

The suit also maintains ,that welflire officials "would ,be de­ nying the equal protection of the laws to the recipients if they passively sat by and permitted to go unchallen.\,ed a statute which unconstitutionally denies federal benefits to 'those whom they owe a duty of protection."

Federal attorneys have asked the court to dismiss the suit for two reasons-failure to state a claim on which relief, can be granted, and because the suit has been filed before the limits become effective.

Students Participate I n Forming Policy LOUVAIN (NC)-The Coun­ cil for Direction (the former Academic Council of the French­ speaking section of the Catholic University of Louvain) has de­ cided that the university com­ munity, including faculty and students, should have a consul­ tative voice in the reform of uni versity structures.

The Council for Direction in­ Cludes academic authorities, the deans of schools of the univer­ sity and representatives of' re­ searchers and students at the university.

The Council for Direction said the results of the consultations between the university commu­ nity and the academic authori­ ties will have a "decisive" character with the force of law.

Folk Mass Guitarist at Fairhaven Church 74 Years Young, Plays with 'Extra Beat'

THE ANCHORThurs., Dec. 26, 1968

Papal Volunteers Assigned in 1968

By Patricia F1'ancis At the weekly folk Masses celebrated in St. Joseph School hall in Fairhaven, musi­ cal accompaniment is provided by from six to eight guitars. All but one of the guitar players are teen-agers, the generation you'd expect to be hep to the changes in church music.. One, however, admits he is "far from being a teen-ager." He is John Fernandes, 74, of 54 Spring Street, Fairhaven, a member of St. Joseph's parish for more than half a century. He and his wife, the former Mary Fer­ mino, a native of the Cape Verde Islands, "were married in the old St. Joseph's Church 51 years ago," he recalls.

"That was the church that was turned into a school and then burned down," he says. "But it's the same parish."

His church "folk music ca­ reer" began quite by accident.

"My wife spoke about the folk Masses at the school and one day we decided to go," he says.

"Later !I spoke to Father Bren­ nan and told him I thought it was very nice. I told him those J:hildren were doing a good job and I knew because I played the the guitar myself."

The chance comment to Father Brennan, pastor of St. Joseph's, was the start of Sunday morning engagements for the self-taught musician.

Extra Beat "Father asked why I didn't join them l!nd I said they wouldn't want an old fellow like me. Then he mentioned it again.

I wasn't trying to duck anything, I'm retired, so I said I'd try it.

I thoughf the young people might mind, but some of the girls even told my wife they liked having me becase I put in an extra beat with a thumb pick. Most of the young ones strum."

Now John Fernandes looks forward to his weekly "con­ certs" with his young cronies.

"Next thing you. know," he says with a grin, ",J may run for Pope or something," Being active in his church is not a new experience for Mr. Fernades.

As a young man, he belonged to Our Lady of the Assumption Church, founded on Water Street by Rev. Stanislaus Ber­ nard of Belgium.

"Later Father Bernard was named pastor of' St. Joseph Church in Fairhaven."

During those early days, be­ fore his marriage, John Fer­ nandes was an ,altar boy and sang in the choir at Our Lady of the Assumption.

• After his marriage, his alle­ giance was shifted to St. Joseph Church, where two of his three daughters used to sing in the choir.

The Fernandes' daughter Lil­ lian lives at home. The other two are married and living out of town. Sylvia is Mrs. Arthur DeBrito of New Jersey and Bar­ bara is Mrs. Frank Braxten of Tewksbury.

Their only son, John A. Fer­ nandes, is purchasing agent for Tuskegee Institute and makes his home in Alabama.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Forty new Papal Volunteers for Latin America were assigned to proj­ ects during 1968, according to John Muldoon, coordinator of PAVLA projects and personnel.

Thirty-one completed language and acculturatiord training at Bishop Larrain Institute, Ponce, Puerto Rico; the Institute for Intercultural Communication, Petropolis, Brazil; and at Agua­ scalientes, Mexico, during De­ cember. Nine went directly. to assignments last August.

The group of lay men and women, whose average age is 29, will work for three years in Colombia, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Jamaica and British Honduras.

The Papal Volunteer program, which is currently conducting a recruitment drive throughout the United States, anticipates a much large~ group of volunteers luring 1969, according to Father Raymond A. Kevane, P AVLA national director.

The increased number will permit greater selectivity in the personnel sent to work within Latin American programs, Fr. Kevane said.

Nottingham Deans Condemn Circular

JOHN FE,RNANDES in the Fernandes living room is Mr. Fernandes' favorite picture, an original of Jesus in the Gar­ den of Gethsemane - "It was painted by my daughter Lillian and I wouldn't take a million dollars for it," he says proudly.

Plays by Ear His own accomplishments tend more to the musical During the years he has learned to play "all by ear" the piano, mandolin, Portuguese banjo and harmon­ ica-as well as the guitar he wields with gusto each Sunday morning.

The folk Masses - "I like them" says the musician who's young in spirit-are held each Sunday at 8:30 in the school hall. "You ought to come some

Canadian Churches To ~ork Together OTTAWA (NC) -The Cana­ dian Catholic bishops and the Canadian Council of Churches in a joint announcement here endorsed a statement of con­ sensus reached at a meeting of church leaders at Toronto in which the churches agreed to work together in the field of social action and to set up an eight-man top-level advisory committee to prepare this joint action.

The consensus statement said the committee's task will be the development of a practical strat­ egy for unified action by all Christian churches in the cam., paign to remove poverty at home and abroad.

The committee will plan ways to coordinate, communicate and inform public agencies and gov­ ernments, and both within and between the churches, the state­ ment said.

The consensus statement add­ ed that the committee is to take into account the views of the poor and youth in forml.llating its resolutions.

time, you'd like it, too," he tells everyone he meets with typical missionary zeal.

On Christmas Day, however, the Folk Mass moved out of the school hall and, into the church for the 10:45 A.M. Mass.

Mr. Fernandes is delighted. He thinks that's where it should be.

There are many ways of worshipping God. John Fer­ nandes and his young compan­ ions do it with music.

Prelates Discuss Church Structure KANSAS CITY (NC) - Offi­ cial representatives of the U. S. Catholic bishops and of the An­ glican (Episcopal) Church in the U. S. held their sixth official dialogue meeting at a retreat house near here.

The principal subject dis­ cussed by the group was report­ edly the role of the bishop and the structure of the church, as viewed by the two d'enomina­ tions.

However, details of the pres­ entations and the nature of the discussion were not disclosed because the participants in the meeting voted to keep the pro­ ceedings secret.

NOTTINGHAM (NC)-The 12 deans of ,the NO,ttingham diocese have issued a letter condemning a circular sent to some 40 priests of ,the diocese by the London group of laymen supporting dis­ sident clergy.

The deans described the cir­ cul'ar 'as "an extraordinary and unheard of example of an at­ tempt to incite a perfectly loyal and devoted clergy to rebel and defy their own bishop and all ecclesiastical authority."

They said they could c1'aim to knaw the diocesan clergy better ,than this "self-appointed and self-styled" group of laymen.

The deans also said that Bishop Edward Ellis of Nottingham who has been under some public criticism for his alleged tough­ ness in dealing with dissident clergy, had held a large meeting with the clergy at which there was not the slightest show of doubt or unrest.

Plan Inter~iews With ~relQJtes On TV" Radio NEW YORK (NC)-The "Catholic Hour" the Sunday religious program aired by the NBC radio and television networks, will change its name to "Guideline" on Jan. 5.

The newly named television series will feature interviews with' four leading American prelates during January. On Jan. 5 Archbishop Dearden of Detroit, president of the Na­ tional Conference of Catholic Bishops, will discuss the work­ ings of the bishops' organization with Bob Teague of NBC News, Harold Schakern of the Detroit News and Arthur North of the New York News.

On Jan. 12 John Cardinal Cody of Chicago will discuss Catholic education with William Ryan of NBC News, Ben Bolton of the Associated Press and Floyd Anderson of NC News Service.

Bishop John Wright of Pitts­ burgh will be interviewed on the papal encyclical on birth control and the American reac­ tion on Jan. 19,and on Jan. 26 John Cardinal Krol of Philadel­ phia will discuss authority in the Church.

Radio Series The TV series, moderated by Father Donald F. X. Connolly of the National Catholic Office for Radio and Television (NCORT), will be shown at 1:30 P.M. in New York, but other local times will vary.

The series will appear 17 times per year.

The radio series will feature interviews with Archbishop JohnJ. Carberry of St. Louis, Auxiliary Bishop Mark Hurley of San Francisco, Bishop Ed­ ward E. Swanstrom, director of Catholic Relief Services and Bishop Ernest Primeau of Man­ chester, N. H. Both radio and television pro­ grams are produced by NBC in conjunction with NCORT.

Force for Peace Continued from Page Eight compel treaty observance pre­ cisely when nations want to break it. The attempt to apply international law to the man­ date problem in South West Africa failed-lengthily and ex­ pressively-over a technicality.

The United States has paid heavily for ignoring the provi­ sion in the 1954 Geneva agree­ ments concerning elections in Vietnam. Some difficult issues have been settled by agreed pro­ cedures between governments­ the Saar plebicite, the status of Trieste, the Ranh of Kutch-but the list of still envenomed fron­ tier disputes is much longer.

Nations have a long way to, $0, before they give up getting all their own way, short of force.

New Name for Peace But it is good nursery proce­ dure if the children quarrel to give them ~omething else to do.

So in the great overgrown bear garden we call the world of na­ tions, the third aspect of peace­ ful settlement-positive actions to work for solutions and mobil­ ize creative energies-is perhaps the most important. The concept of economic development as a positive force not only for growth but for peace underlies much of the Pope's thinking about world order. And here there is some achievement to record.

Eighth Grader Socks It to Fellow Teens With Poetry Where It's At

By Pat1'icia Pmncis

An 8th grader at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School in New Bedford is "socking" morality to her teen-age compatriots through the medium of poetry. Barbara A. Mc­ Carthy, 13, "started writing stories in the 3rd grade and then turned to poetry. I write it because I like to, not for school work." Her latest piece, "Our Changing World," appeared in the last issue of Gossip '69, the monthly school newspaper published by the 8th Grade class. Now she thinks that "maybe" she'll try to write something each month for the paper.

"About 5 feet one," she had to check with her mother on that one and about 112 pounds, the young poetry enthusiast likes to play basketball.

She was on the girls' team at school last year, "but this year I didn't tryout so .J don't play.

We don't play special positions on a girls' team, we switch around. Our school plays all the other Catholic schools."

Barbara also "loves to read­ fiction and mysteries, things like that."

As far as her poetry writing is concerned, Barbara's family is thrilled. "My mother says they think it's wonderful," Barbara admits shyly.

Spare time these days is de­ voted to putting on paper the things Barbara feels. Like Our Changing World:

All you can do is pity them For God they have not found.

At the end of time We'll shout, "Here comes the Judge!"

'The Lord will be with us He doesn't hold a grudge.

I:Iippies preach love But they take drugs If they preached love right They wouldn't be called thugs.

So you kids Hear what I say Obey those ten big laws And do it today!

God's the "Big Daddy" He's really what's in He won't condemn you Not even if you sin.

He'll always forgive you No matter what you do He's like that you know He really does love you.

He was really cool That day He died for us Would any hippie do that To prove his love for us?

"So come on you teens Do what you're' told Get in where it's at Heaven is really bold.

Californna Cardinal Honored by Spain LOS ANGELES (NC)-Mar­ quis Merry del Val, Spanish am­ bassador of the U.S., has con­ ferred on James Francis Cardi­ nal McIntyre, the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella Cath olica at the home of the Span­ ish consul general here in Cali­ fornia.

The award was granted to the Cardinal in recognition of his "religious and humanitarian service" to the people of south­ ern California, once part of Spain.

Pontiff Receives Turkish Envoy VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has received the cre­ dentials of Adm. Necdet Uran, newly appointed Turkish am­ bassador to the Holy See. In receiving the credentials, the Pope said: "Knowing the conditions of the Catholic Church in your country we are trustful that it will be able to enjoy always the civil liberty sanctioned by your constitution and by the full trust of the authorities since it is the great desire of Catholics to con­ tribute always more generously to the spiritual and social wel­ ~are of the nation."

In his address to the Pope, the ambassador pointed out: "Whatever the turn of events in history, the Turkish people have at all times placed the highest importance on maintain­ ing the' principle of the freedom of religion for the peoples and institutions of different faiths living on their territory. The history of our nation is the best proof of religious freedom, tol­ erance and justice.

"Modern Turkey emerged as a national state in the early 1920s after the disintegration of a multinational, heterogeneous empire. Today the Turkish con­ stitution effectively safeguards all political and social freedoms and rights entrenched in a dem­ ocratic and secular state, as well as the freedom of religion."

Summertime Jobs Council on Youth Opportunity Director Asks Churches Help Solve Problem SALT LAKE CITY (NC) ­ An authority on the country's youth problems 'asserted here the nation's 250,000 churches could solve the Summertime youth employment situation.

Speak,ing at the 12th National Conference on Catholic Youth Work, Gerald W. Christenson, executive director of President J'ohnson's Council on Youth Op­ portunity, outlined a program which also would bring about "a much, closer link between churches and youth."

"If each of. the qua~ter million churches in this country pro­ vided an average of four Sum­ mer jobs-,with particular em­ phasis on helping needy youth­ the result would be one million j'obs, and our Summer employ­ ment problem would be neaTly licked," Christenson told dele­ gates to the convention spon­ sored by the Youth Activities Div,ision, United States Catholic Conference.

Christenson lauded the work being done by the Catholic Church in this country in behalf of youth.

"The Catholic Church in America has played a vital role in expanding opportuni,t,ies for needy youth, both in our cities and in many rural areas," he said.

"Millions of poor boys and girls have received their educa­ tion and have participated in social affairs' as well as or~n­ ized sports and recreation pro­ grams sponsored by Catholic organizations."

"The schools, playgrounds and gymnasiums localted in our inner cities and owned by the Church

are 'a tremendous resource, but even more important are the thousands of dedicated leaders available to guide and counsel young people," he declared.

Christenson said the needs of the time "require that all of us review our past efforts and ded­ icate ourselves to doing better in the months and years ahead."

For the churches, he added, this may mean moving into areas once consider.ed "outside their province."

'Commission Lobbies For Ghetto Schools ST. PAUL (NC)-The Urban Affairs Commission of the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdio­ cese and the local Catholic In­ terracial Council will descend on the Minneosta State House in January to lobby for better inner-city scools.

They will have one important legislator on their side - State Rep. Joseph T. O'Neill of St. Paul, a member of both the UAC and the State Legislature's Education Committee.

NEW DELHI (NC)-The In­ dian law ministry has upheld legisla,tion of two state govern­ ments that virtually ban con­ versions to Christianity. Min­ ister of State for Home Affairs V.C. Shukla told the national parliament here that the law ministry feels that the two statutes, put on the books by the Orissa and Madhya Pradesh state governments, do not vio­ late ,the Indian constitution.

denounced by a young Ameri­ can, Sam Brown, Jr., 25, wh,o was' invited to participate as a politically ac­ ti ve spokesman for his own generation. Mr. Brown W1ent after the Lib­ eral Establish­ ment - in the person of for­ mer Ambassa­ dor George Kennan, histo­ rian Arthur' Schlesinger, Jr., et aI-with hammer and tongs.

He charged that the Amer­ icans ·invi ted to the' conference were the "stereotypes of U. S. liberal intellectuals" and said they were incapable of coping with the nation's present ills.

America's "liberal" institutions, he said, are heading towards a complete breakdown.

What's Next?

U. S. News and World Report sees 'in tMs confrontation· be­ tween older "liberals" and the so-called New Left far more thana. gener~tion gap. "The young and their elders," it re­ ports, "barely speak the same political language _. and they disagree on almost everything."

For all I know, the Sam Browns of the present genera­ tion may, be telling it exactly as it is. In other words, the old "liberal intellectualism" of the Kennans, the Schlesingers, et al,. may well have outlived its use­ fulness as a viable political prin­ ciple for America.

If so, however, it would seem appropriate to ask, along with the editQrs of U. S. News and World Report: Wpat's going to take its place? What comes next?

New Left have the ability and the stick-to-itiveness to develop a viable political philosophy and political program of their own.

In other words, they have yet to prove themselves.

Lose OppOrtunities

Some of them seem to have settled for what Arnold S. Kauf- . man of the University of Michi­ gan refers to as "the policies of self"lndulgence."

Prof. Kaufman, who is v~x:y sympathetic to the New Left views the politics of self-ind~l­ gence as the stance of those who confuse conscience with conscientiousness and trade po­ litical effectiveness for what they call "authenticity."

For the sake of moral postur­ ing, he feels, their political ac­ tions too often sacrifice real op­ portunities of securing or im­ plementiIig important values.

Those who practice the politics of self-indulgence, he says, ap­ pear at times to be more inter­ ested in denigrating American liberals than in achieving po­ litical ends which they share with those liberals. (The Radi­ cal Liberal: New Man in Amer­ ican Politics, Atherton Press, New York, N. Y.)

SISTER ANN PATRICK WARE

Catholic Sister G'ets' NCe Post

NEW YORK (NC)-The Na­ tional Council of Churches has announced three new appoint­ ments, including the promotion of Sister Ann Patrick Ware, the first Roman Catholic nun ever to hold the staff position.

Sister Ann Patrick,-who pre­ viously worked with Church Women United, a NCC related women's organization - is the new assistant director in NCC's department of Faith and Order.

She will do a two year study on intercommunion in her new position.

Owen Brooks, formerly asso­ ciate director of NCC's Delta Ministry, will become director of that project. The Delta Min­ istry, a four year old project in which churchmen work with dispossessed Negroes in Missis­ sippi for economic and commu­ nity development, receives a large share of its financial sup­ port from the World Council of Churches.

Continued from Page One No precarious truce, unstable equilibrium, fears of reprisals and revenge, successful con­ quest or fortunate arrogance, can guarantee a peace worthy of .that name.

'Peace must be willed.

Peace must be loved.

Peace must be produced.

Way to Peace "Jot must be a moral conse­ quence. It must spring up from free· and generous spirits. A dream it may well seem, but a dream which becomes a reality by vi.rtue of a new and superior human concept."

The Pope paid special atten­ tion to the fact that this Day (If Peace observance' coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that .the theme of the peace day is "The Promotion of Human. Rights, the Way to Peace."

Commenting on the intimate connection of the two concepts, the Pope said: Cause and Effect "Where human rights are not 'respected, defended and pro­ moted, where violence or f·raud is done to man's inalienable freedoms, where his personality IS ignored Of degraded, where discrimination, . slavery or in­ tolerance ,prevail, there true peace cannot be. ",Peace and rights are recipro­ cally cause and effect, the one of .the other: peace favors rights and rights in their turn, favor peace." .In the second part of his letter Pope Paul traced the relation­ ship of peace ,to the Gospel of Christ and to Christians, espe­ cially noting "to the dignity of citizens of the world, the peace of Christ adds the dignity cf sons of the Heavenly Father."

Human Rights Summing up this rela,tionship ;the Pope said: Series of Prayers "The peace of Christ which derives its spirit from redeem­ ing ,sacrifice, is not a fear of might and resistance; the peace of Christ, which understands pain and human needs, which finds love and gifts for the little, the .poor, the weak, the disin­ herited, the suffering; the humil­ iated, the conquered, is not a cowa'rdice tolerant of the mis­ adventures and deficiencies of man with no fortune or defense.

"In a word the peace of Christ is, more than any other human­ itarian :formula, solicitous of human rights."

Together with the papal mess­ age the Va,tican also issued a "formula" or series of prayers designed to be read at various ceremonies and observanc~s for the 'Day of Peace throughout the world.

S~fl'~ TH1lrre~ GO@~$ COLORADO SPRINGS (NC) -The Colorado Catholic Con­ ference, which has three basic policy goals, has voted to dis­ sociate itself from the contro­ versy over Colorado's abortion laws.

The board of· directors which includes a majority of laymen, decided to concentrate on three objectives: A plan for teaching theology in the public schools.

C~ordination of the efforts of the two Colorado dioceses in the Urban Task Force program es­ tablished by the United States Catholic Conference.

Legislation to provide state aid for purchase of textbooks for secular courses in non-pub­ lic schools and for 'state pur­ chase of secular services pro­ vided by such schools,

The formula e:npressed the in­ dividual's' commitment to work for peace, to fight all forms of intolerance and to a great re­ spect of the personal social rights of all men. A new votive Mass for Peace was also issued at the same time.

The World Day of p'eace has won the support of the World Council of Churches, which has called the a,ttention of its mem­ ber churches to the Pope's spon­ sorshLp of .the special observance.

-'Also,- eight Latin American nations and two European ones have made the day a day of national observance. They are Argentina,' Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Peru, Venezu~la, the Prinicpality of Monaco and Malta.

Seattle Forms School Board SEATTLE' (NC) - Formation of a temporary school ,board to study the problems of schools in . the Seattle archdiocese was an­ nounced by Archbishop Thomas A. Connolly.

The announcement clears the way for laymen to become di­ rectly involved in operation of the Archdiocesan Office of Edu­ cation for the first time.

Archbishop Connolly said that the need to form the board was heightened 'by the size of Cath­ olic school enrollment.

"In the state of Washington," he said, "there are 328 public school districts. The enrollment of the Catholic school system in the archdiocese of Seattle Is larger than all but four of these school districts. Presently we have a staff of 1,184 teachers ed­ ucating 28,878 students in 71 elementary and 18 high schools throughout western Washing­ ton."

Archbishop Connolly added: "Up to now the central adminis­ tration of this large school sys­ tem has been in' the hands of a superintendent and two Sister supervisors.

We have now reached a point where this unit must be expanded. Serious deci­ sions are facing our schools

right now. I am asking the tem­

porary board to face these mat­

ters with decisiveness."

NCR' Publisher Considers

Principal Church Problems

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy In American Catholics Face the Future (Dimension Books, 303 West 42nd St., New York, N.Y. 10036 $6.95), Donald J. Thorman, publisher of The, National Catholic Reporter, considers the principal problems which are be-,

devilling the Church in the United States. Upon their solution, of course, depends the future of American Cath­

...

olics. Mr. Thorman has not spot­ ted anything specifically unde­ tected by others.

Practically ev­ erything treated in this book has been ex­ amined·in other books, ,as well as in lectures and in news­ paper and mag~ azine articles.

But there are distinctive fea­ tures of his .presentation. For one thing, he remains even-tempered almost all the time.

He is critical, severely so when ,need be, but he is not nasty or vengeful. His judgment is objective and 'balanced.' He displays a nice skill 'in putting briefly and precisely the gist of great and complicated matt!!rs (although I wish he would for­ get the "gut issues" cliche).

From the quotations which are strewn through his pages, it is evident that he has read widely and attentively.

Probably the most notable feature of his book is the sum­ mary of responses to a ques­ tionnaire which he submitted to 365 American Catholics, whose median age is 3g.3 years and most of whom hold at least a bachelor's degree.

Attitude Change To the question, "Since the council has there been any sig­ nificant change in your attitude toward the Catholic Church?" about 82 per cent said, "Yes," and only 17 per cent, "No." A minority expressed a more posi­ tive attitude, but the majority found fault with the institutional Church.

Fifty per cent declared that they now have less respect for the teaching authority of the Church, while 47 per cent said that their respect had not de­ creased. Only' 25 per cent said that they had the same regard for the teaching authority of the Pope as previously.

Sixteen per cent answered that faith in Christ had ,become more of a problem for' them since the Council, whereas 82 per cent said that it has not.

Many testified to a strengthened faith as a direct result of the Council.

Doubtfully Representative Another- set of questions had to· do with morality: the moral­ ity, for example, of birth> con­ trol, abortion,' divorce and re­ marriage. The responses clearly established ,a tendency to look to one's own conscience rather than. to t.he Church for moral decisions. It would' appear that for some, conscience' anc;l. feel­ ings are indistinguishable.

It may -be argued that. these 365 respondents are doubtfully reBresentll.tive qf the American laity as a whole, and it would be grossly improper to consider the findings' as definitive of the attitudes of American Cath­ olics. At the very least, how­ ever, the results of the survey must be regarded as suggesting which way the wind is blowing.

It is in a direction quite differ­

ent from what the American Church has experienced in the past.

Secular City Another respect in which Mr. Thorman's book stands out is its sane' approach to the phenom­ enon of secularization'. What it is, he states succinctly. And he expresses his conviction that the American Catholic has stopped fighting .the secular city and has even begun ·to work. out a ·kind of secular sanctity. ,But he does not go overboar1l in'this matter. "Let us note," he writes, "that the world, the sec­ ular city, has not. become so 'sacred' that we no longer have' any need for 'the" Christian 'sacred'-Christ and his Church and sacraments, the Christian vision." ' He is' similarly discriminating when it comes to the inner city.

This, he says, has become a kind of magical term, and some Cath­ olics have not only embraced it 'enthusiastically, but idealize it, in a way which is hardly real­ istic. He· also has misgivings about the social action'special­ ist's penchant for framing moral absolutes in practical matters.

View of Liturgy The creation of community is a major theme in the Thorman book. The author holds that the power of the li turgy to effect community has been exagger­ ated. He decries what he calls the simplistic and instrumental view of the liturgy, and main­ tains that there has to be some kind of pre-Eucharistic commu­ nity of love in which the liturgy operates and accomplishes what truly lies in its power.

Mr. Thorman recognizes the necessity of reform and experi­ mentation where the parish is concerned. He points out that Vatican II said nothing of the parish as a social or human communitly, and this he regards as a-major weakness.

That the present state of th~ parish isj' unsatisfactory is .proved, to his mind, by the pro­ liferation of so-called under­ ground parishes in the United States, the number of. which he sets at about 1,000.

Better HomJUes Yet, for the future, he does not predict the passing of the territorial parish. It will be re­ quired and' will remain. In this connection, he asserts that the priest's best service is to preach the Gospel, and to do it well.

That means, in a meaningful;' scriptural, theological and spir­ itual way" 'directed to the needs and capacity of a variegated community..

"And to be able to preach ,the Word I submit-as a profession­ al writer and lecturer with some 20 years' experience-that the average prie~tmight well begirt on 'Tuesday to prepare his Suri..: day homily if he ....doesn't want to be, a boor (and a bore). ,I don't see how he can adequately , prepare himself each week, in­ cluding background reading, in less than two full working days, probably three for younger priests."

While foreseeing changes in the priestly ministry, Mr. Thor­ man refers to a parish with

MIAMI BEACH (NC)-Calls for more adequate liberal arts education for medical students and for greater involvement of Catholic physicians in their communities highlighted final sessions of the 1968 annual meeting of the National Feder­ ation of Catholic Physicians Guilds.

Speaking to some 200 dele­ gates and their w.ives during a banquet at which Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll of Miami presided, Auxiliary Bishop James P. Shannon of St. Paul and Minneapolis emphasized ~he need for developing medical students as liberal artists in a nation and world whl~h are "desperately In need of agents of unity."

Ungovernable people "In our society today It is quite evident that many forces are working for the separation of man from man and from the community," Bishop Shannon said, citing the tragedy in Biaf­ ra, the recent teachers' strike in New York' City, and the bitter division 'between the nation's blacks and whites.

"We are seeing a fragmenta­ tion in our society which we have not witnessed In the past," the bishop said. "We are in danger of 'becoming an ungov­ ernable people.

"On the other side we have similar forces working toward the human family," Bishop Shannon continued. He said Pope John's encyclical Pacem in Terris appealed to all men to band together for the safe­ guarding of human salvation, and that Pope Paul picked up the same theme in his encyclical On the Development of Peoples "reminding all men that there is a unity ,among all the children of God." Enormous lP'ower Bishop Shannon said that one of the communities of citizens which has a natural bond is that of physicians, pointing out that doctors are asked to serve in a variety of positions in the community not because they are doctors but because of their ed­ ucation and service to human­ ity: "You have an enormous pow­ er as a fraternity to emphasize to the family of man that they are members of the family of man," he said, declaring that facilities in the arts, mathe­ matics and language are instru­ ments toward human learning.

Three Faiths Join In Mercy Airlift NEW YORK (NC)-The first joint Jewish-Catholic-Protestant direct chartered mercy airlift to aid the starving children, of Biafra left Kennedy Interna­ tional airport carrying 40 tons of food and medicine, including 100,000 doses of urgently needed measle vaccine donated by UNICEF. The tri-faith support for the mercy flight comes from Cath­ olic Relief Services (CRS), Protestant Church World Ser­ vice and the American Jewish Emergency Effort for Biafran Relief, which is composed of 21 major national Jewish organiza­ tions.

The flight was scheduled to arrive next day at the Portu­ guese West Africa island of Sao Tome, from where the supplies were to be flown into Biafra on the nighttime air shuttles oper­ ated by Joint Church Aid, a composite group of Catholic and Protestant relief agencies of the United States and Europe.

arts education is not necessarily a list of books," he said, "but more important is the substance of identification with human tradition."

Bishop Shannon warned against the danger of liberal arts being "shouldered out" by sciences in the preparation for medical careers. "The average person preparing for a career in medicine is highly motivated," he said. . Other Professions "They work hard, they tend to 'be ;bright," but too many end up with good marks yet have not received an adequate liberal arts education, Bishop Shannon added.

Failure to provide adequate liberal arts training also applies to other professions and could be leveled at many seminaries, Bishop Shannon stated. He said success in any profession de­ pends on the person's ability to have a broad, humane interest , in the life of mankind, present and past.

Archbishop Carroll urged the physicians to take the lead in the fight against legalized abor­ tion and illegal drug traffic and to increase their dialogue with members of other faiths and ethnic groups.
