WASHINGTON (NC) — First reports from a quarter of the nation's dioceses indicate financial success for the anti-poverty collection begun by the bishops this Fall as part of their new Campaign for- Human DeVelopment. The campaign, which has an open-ended goal of $50 million, was started with the twin aims of educating Catholics about the problems of poverty in the United States and of providing money to solve some of poverty's causes. The first of planned annual nationwide collections was taken upon Sunday, Nov. 22, just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Contributions from 38 reporting dioceses totalled $2,096,074 with many other of the total 156 dioceses relating that money was still coming in from their pastors and parishes.

Lauds Msgr. John Silvia As Parish-Minded Prelate .

Rev. Msgr. John A. Silvia, late pastor emeritus of St. John the Baptist Church, New Bedford, who died on Wednesday, Dec. 23, was eulogized by Rev. Manuel P. Ferreira as a man of principle, a sower of priestly dedication and an architeCt of vocations. Speaking at a concelebrated Mass of Requiem, offered on Monday in St. John the Baptist Church with Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin as principal concelebrant, Father Ferreira, administrator of the New Bedford parish, wove the threads of Monsignor Silvia's priestly life and his own personal experiences into the tapestry of a man of God and a real churchman. The text of the eulogy follows: "All I want is to know Christ and the power of his resurrection' and to share his sufferings by reproducing the pattern, of his death. That is the way I can hope to take my place in the resurrection of the dead." (Phillipians, 3:10) Your Excellency, Bishop Cronin, Your Excellencies, Bishops

In accord with the wishes of Pope Paul, Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., has directed that Catholics of the Diocese of. Fall River join in the world-wide observance of January 1st as a Day of Peace and that prayers for peace be offered at every Mass. In his message for the celebration of this Day of Peace, Pope Paul writes of the world's hopes after World War II: "The world breathed again . . . . Everyone seemed ready to accept radical changes, in order to avoid new conflicts . . . . There was talk of justice, of human rights, of betterment of the weak, of orderly coexistence, Of• organized collaboration, of world union .. . The way to .peace, as a normal and fundamental condition of life in the world, seemed to have been finally planned." " But today still sees wars, continued and even increased social and racial and religious discrimination, and a return to the old mentality. The Pope sees this old mentality as the supremacy of economic interests, exploitation of the weak, class hatred, national prestige and political power, crime and violence as a burning ideal. In contrast to this present situation, the Pope sees "fortunately another set of ideas and facts . . . before our gaze; and it is that of progressive peace." Despite problems and breaks in its continuity, despite inconsistencies and difficulties, peace marches on because everyone realizes that peace is necessary. As the Pope significantly points out, peace "has in its favor the moral progress of humanity, which is indisputably directed toward unity. Unity and peace, where freedom unites them, are sisters. Peace.benefits from the growing favor of public opinion, which is convinced of the absurdity of war pursued for its own sake and believed to be the only and unavoidable means of settling controversies among men. Peace avails itself of the even closer network of human relations in the fields of culture, economics, commerce, sport and tourism. We must live together, Turn to Page Six

Abortion and Euthanasia Threats" Vexing Britons LONDON (NC)—The growing threat of legalized abortion, and the dwindling number of births in the country are worrying British Catholics. This is the assessment made by Norman St. John-Stevas, a Catholic member of. the House of Commons and an outspoken foe of legalized abortion. The euthanasia threat was also the subject of discussion at the annual meeting of the Human Rights Society, a largely Catholic group. Dr. Margaret White stated that a supporter of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society, a lobbying group, had said that, if parliament passed a voluntary euthanasia law, the next goal would be involuntary euthanasia. "If they had their way, we would have '1984' by the year 1974," she said. St. John-Stevas has called for a government inquiry into -the working of the Abortion Act. More than 250 members of parliament have signed a motion asking for the inquiry. The increasing number of abortions, nearing 100,000 per year, is placing a strain on the

national health service and leading to a revolt within the nursing profession, he said. In many places; nurses are exercising the option allowed them by the act and refusing to participate in abortions, he added. Limiting the time during which an abortion can be performed to the first 20 weeks of pregnancy instead of to the 28 weeks now allowed would "eradicate, some of the worst cases of abuse," St. John-Stevas said. He said he regarded as a "sinister" development the organization of a new pressure group seeking the establishment of a birth control service offering contraception, abortion and sterilization as a means of family planning. At the Human Rights Society meeting, Dr. ',White criticized local governments for their lack of interest in old people. Often, she said, elderly persons suffering from loneliness neglect to take care of themselves, become malnourished and are admitted to geriatric wards. Another member of parliament, Mrs. Jill Knight, said Britain Turn to Page Three

FIVE IDEAS FOR • THE NEW YEAR

Retiring Bishops Receive New Status WASHINGTON. (NC) — Latin rite bishops upon retirement no longer will be assigned to a titular diocese but will bear the offiCial title of former bishop of the diocese served. The change-was made by Pope Paul VI following consultations at a plenary session of the Vatican Congregation for Bishops. Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, was notified of the change in a letter from Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate in the United States. Archbishop Raimondi said the change would enable retiring bishops to "continue to be associated with the See which they have renounced but with which they continue to have a - certain spiritual bond." "From discussions of this subject among the bishops of the United States, I understand that this provision will be most acceptable to them, Archbishop Raimondi wrote. "I share their joy that it has come to pass." The Apostolic Delegate requested that bishops who already have retired and been transferred to a titular see -inform him whether they wish to retain that title.

will 1971 be like? The world will be a more peaceful' place if everyone does his share. . . . Last year the Holy Father trained thousands of native priests and Sisters, built hundreds of schools, clinics, chapels, and cared for orphans, lepers, the aging. He can do even more in 1971 if you ask us to send full information to you, to your friends. . . . How can you make the world a better place? Pray for ou,s priests and Sisters each day, and do all you can to give them what they need. They are your ambassadors to the poor, and they get lonely,.hungry, tired. Month by month in '71, have a share in all the good they do!

What becomes of the fun and frolic New Year's Eve? What you spend is gone, the morning after. . Month by month in 1971, here's what you can do:

1:1 Train a native Sister overseas. She'll be your personal representative to people who need help, and she'll write to you. Her training, costs only $12.50 a month, $150 a year, $300 altogether. ❑ Train a native priest. He wants to give his life for others. For the next six years he needs $15.00 a. month ($180 a year, - $1080 altogether). Write to us. _ ❑ Feed a family of refugees. $10 feeds a family for a month! ❑ Enroll a relative or friend a month, newborn infants, students, the ill, in this Association. The offering is only $2 for a year, $25 for life. Family enrollment is only $10 a year, $100 for life. Receive a beautiful enrollment certificate. ❑ Stringless. Send a gift each month to the Holy Father - to take care of the countless .number of mission emergencies. He will use it where it's needed most.

Faces Possibility Of Bankruptcy MILWAUKEE (NC)—Officials of the Society of the Divine Savior here have been ordered to produce a plan for paying off the financially troubled community's 2,400 creditors by April 15 or face a bankruptcy declaration. Bankruptcy referee Dale E. Ihlenmeldt announced the deadline and appointed a five-member creditors committee to approve any plan the Salvatorians devise to pay off their creditors. A petition submitted by the society in November and asking court permission to reorganize listed debts of $8,603,500. Creditors included an estimated 1,100 persons, most of them elderly, who had purchased annuities from the Salvatorians. Annuitants have not received their promised payments since the reorganization petition was filed Nov. 3. Irvin Charney, an attorney for the Salvatorians, said the.order may be forced to sell property and buildings it owns to escape from debt. The order has already sold its seminaries in Blackwood, N.J. and Lanham, Md. The society's financial problems date to 1965, when the society made a series of bad investments on the advice ° of Washington attorney Victor J. Orsinger. Orsinger is presently serving a three-to-nine-year prison term for misuse of the Salvatorians' money.

Director Says Shrine of Immaculate Conception Great House of Prayer WASHINGTON (NC)—The director of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception—official monument to Mary as patroness of the U. S.—wants the shrine to be more than a tourist attraction. "That's not why it was built," said Msgr. William F. McDonough, director. "It was built to be a great house of prayer." The cornerstone of the massive, domed shrine. was laid in September, 1920. For 50 years, building and raising money for the $24-million structure has been the main thrust, assistant director Father John J. Nicola said. Now, Father Nicola said, the building is almost completed. Three large mosaics, marble wall-covering, and one chapel remain unfinished. The shrine has "reached a new maturity and is beginning to assume its adult role," he said. Recent developments have helped the shrine "come alive," Father Nicola said. Peace Intention Nearly 30,000 Catholics from eight U. S. dioceses, led by their bishops, made pilgrimages to the National Shrine during the months of September and October. They came by bus, train or chartered plane from several Eastern States to attend Mass, say the Rosary and sing hymns to the Blessed Mother. Father Nicola said the primary intention of all the pilgrimages was peace in the world.

Directors Express Confidence In Adaptability of Families WASHINGTON (NC) — The Family Directors of the nation's Catholic dioceses have expressed confidence in the modern American family's ability to adopt to the changing social conditions of the 1970s. In a public statement prepared for the observance of Holy Family Sunday, they noted that some observers have proclaimed the end of the family as it has traditionally been known. "Others have relegated family life to a position of irrelevance," the statement said. "But the family is neither ended nor irrelevant. Rather, we believe it can serve as the cutting edge in man's effort to adapt to new life styles, new demands and new roles . . . . reaffirm our confidence that the American people have both the ability and the will to build a better world. Moreover, we believe that the vitality of family life will contribute much to achieving justice and peace in our society." The. Family Life Division of the U.S. Catholic Conference printed more than one million copies of a four-page folder containing the statement, entitled "The Family and Change: A Look at the '70's." Folders were sent to all 156 dioceses for parish liturgical use and sermon material. Father James McHugh, national director, said the, diocesan di•rectors met in October "and everyone felt that the family was doing pretty well."

"There seemed to be good reason for a positive statement on the values of marriage and the family in the 1970's," he said. Holy Family Sunday was decided upon as the best time of the year for such a statement. ' The statement upheld the right of parents to determine for themselves the number and spacing of their children, saying: "The child—his coming and his growth—should be the result of a free and determined choice by his parents." It noted recent proposals for a national policy limiting family size to two children, rejecting them as a serious threat to the rights of married couples. 'Persuasive Sermon' "They are symptomatic of a lack of confidence—bordering on despair—that our nation can effectively deal with its major social problems," the statement said. Expanding on the statement, Father McHugh told NC News that "society can endanger the family when it attempts to condition attitudes and narrow the options for •self-determination" through such. proposed legislation. The family life statement ended with a quote from Pope Paul VI on the family: "A man and women who love one another; the smile of a child, the peace of a home; here is the wordlesS but astoundingly persuasive 'sermon in which every man can discern, shining through as it were, the reflection of another love and its infinite appeal."

Debate National Pastoral Council WASHINGTON (NC) — Both sides of the debate on whether the Church in the United States should convene a national pastoral council get a hearing in a new booklet released here by the U.S..Catholic Conference. "A National Pastoral Council: Yes; No, and Maybe" grew out of a feasibility study of the issue requested by the nation's bishops in February 1970. The study is being carried on by a steering committee of the 50member U.S. Catholic Conference advisory council. . Representatives of 97 dioceses and 45 national Catholic organi -zations as well as historians, theologians, canon lawyers, sociologists and 'other experts joined with steering committee members at Chicago's Mundelein College in August to discuss prospects for the council. The booklet notes that advocates of a council contend it would give "a stronger voice and a more effective role" in the Church to all its members. But it points out that critics have expressed fear that a national- council might he dominated by one interest group or might become no more than a bureaucratic structure. On the question of feasibility, it says an effective national pastoral council would have to he both representative and prophetic.

Establishes Draft Counseling Program National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception "People feel a real gap in their lives," the priest said. "They feel that devotion' to the Mother of God has just gradually -disappeared in the last few years." He said bishops who had organized pilgrimages to the shrine were amazed at the favorable response among priests and laymen in their respective dioceses: The bishops said they felt closer to their people during the pilgrimages than at any other time, Msgr. McDonough added. At their semi-annual meeting here, the U. S. bishops approved a plan to appoint one priest in each diocese to acquaint its Catholics about activities, such as the pilgrimages, at the shrine.' Message of Faith The shrine board of directors has also appointed a committee, chaired by Cardinal John Carberry of St. Louis, to promote devotion to Mary through the national shrine. The committee is currently working on a project to broadcast a 15-minute monthly radio program called CONTRASTS over about 600 stations. The programs, some of which will be taped at the shrine, are commentaries by theologians, educators and other specialists to "spread the message of faith," Father Nicola said.. The program "probes into society for its weaknesses and c.Nstings," he said. .A 65-member children's choir at the shrine is afso new. Father Nicola described the choir, which will sing for pilgrims at the shrine and in concerts around

the country, as "a . combination of black, -white, rich, poor — every kind , of kid from every kind of background—welded together in a beautiful unity." Appropriate Patroness "The Blessed Mother's message is being expressed through them," Father Nicola said, in the innocence of children and the content of the. hymns they sing. A shrine guild, composed partly of parents of choir members and servers at the shrine, has also been established to promote Marian devotion. Pope Pius IX declared the Blessed Mother under her title of Immaculate Conception as patroness of the U. S. in 1847. But Msgr. McDonough said Mary is an especially appropriate patroness for today when "church, society, everyone is going through tremendous change." "Mary is a model of transitional periods," Msgr. McDonough said. "She belonged to the Kingdom of David and was a child of the Old Testament. She lived through the era of Christ, and also in the era of the new Church."

ST. PAUL (NC) — A draft counseling program' for Catholic men and their families in the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese•will be operated by the archdiocesan Catholic Charities office. The action was taken as, the result of a resolution adopted by the archdiocesan Urban Affairs Commission, which directed a Catholic agency be founded to operate such a program with moral and financial backing. Father J. Jerome Boxleitner, Catholic Charities director, said his agency was selected because it already has the machinery to operate such a program. Object of the program is to provide objective counseling, showing the individual his options in regard to Selective Service, but allowing the individual to make his own decision on a course of action.

Declare Abortion 'Hideous Crime' JEFFERSON CITY (NC)—The Catholic bishops in=a joint statement deplored the "growing social acceptance of abortion" and warned the mushrooming liberalization of abortion laws could lead to mercy killings and genocide.

digiously. But here, despite much ballyhoo, it is yet to command much interest. It purports to be the autobiography of a' man unjustly condemned to a French penal colony in this hemisphere in 1931. He says that he made a series of nine escapes, only to be repeatedly recaptured, until, in 1945, he got successfully away and established himself in Venezuela. The' book is an account of the horrors of the penal settlements, the ingenious devices by which escape was effected, the rigors of existence ' for a man fleeing his hunters, and the rewards of the new life he finally managed to make for himself. Mr. Charriere's veracity has been seriously contested. Books have been written to prove the impossibility of many of his claims. Even without the evidence which his challengers offer, the discriminating reader concludes, on the internal evidence of the book, that much of it is fabricated. '

erson City, Kansas City-St. Joseph and Springfield-Cape Girardeau dioceses issued the statement in observance of Right to Life Day. The statement was read at Masses in all Catholic churches of the state. The Catholic teaching that abortion is morally wrong was reaffirmed, buttressed by citatations of court decisions recognizing the - unborn's right to life. "If the unborn's right to life is ignored, will the elderly be next? If men take it upon themserves to destroy the life of the unborn, will the chronically ill and the mentally retarded soon. be considered unworthy of life?" the bishops asked. They called abortion a "hideous crime." A bill to ease Missouri's abortion laws was defeated in the last session of the legislature.

New Year Would BeiHappy If Everyone. Would Help

Plan Mariology Society Meeting

As a result of this past week ; I have. a few suggestions for New Year's resolutions for some of my favorite people. I would like to see toy manufacturers make just one little toy that has no parts to break,, fall off, or go out of order. In this age when I would like to make a bargain eveything is disposable, every child should , be en- with snow plow drivers. If my titled to just one toy he can kids have the driveway shoveled play with, treasure, save and hand down to his own children. I wish inventors would use all their marvelous skills and design a new box for games — a nice .

By MARY CARSON

before you get the street cleared, you're not allowed to plow' it under. If you get there first, our drive is a fair target. But it's been upsetting to see my kids crying just because you undid hours of their work. • On days when the snow is melting, and we are surrounded by huge puddles Of slush, I wish drivers would slow down. I've resigned myself to having my children smell like wet wool. Btit I am somewhat annoyed when I'm drenched from shoulders to toes with a mixture of road dust and melted snow.' Those Homilies In a more spiritual vein, I would make a compromise with priests..At Mass, staying awake during the homily has been a problem fOr me. When the' homily is good, I'll make a real. effor. to keep alert. When it's not, I'll know that you are doing it delibefately to lull all tired mothers into the last nap they will get for the week. If the sisters will stop assigning homework projects over the holidays, stop sending dusting powder, writing paper and the leftovers from the C.Y.O. Candy Sale for their Christmas presents. I wish my husband would keep •away from the football games on TV. It's demoralizing to. have him invite the children to watch the game right after I have given a firm 'order that the next one who touches the TV before the living room is tidy, gets shot. I would hope my children would get up a half-hour earlier, have their rooms clean and beds made before they leave in the morning. I know it's asking a lot, but for the New Year, I wish they would . remember where they put the other shoe. Since I have so many suggestions for others,' I also have some for myself. I'll stop finding faillt with the sisters - in the school, the dirty laundry hidden under the beds, the empty ice . cube trays in the sink and the basket of 'unfolded socks in the middle of the living room •iloor. I know I won't make it through the first week in January. In fact, I doubt if I'll last . two days. Besides, what do you do with 73 odd socks? If I can't keep my , resolutions, I can't expect others to try •ny suggestions. Instead, each day, 1'1 try to say one kind word that might ordinarily be forgotten. Care to join me?

strong box, that will not break when a child sits, stands or jumps on it. I'd be delighted if gift wrapping companies would use an ink — particularly a red ink — that does, not dissolve when a baby chews on it, making it look as if the child is hemorrhaging. I hope the ad agencies who do the TV commercials for children's toys will take a new approach. Instead ,of toys being demonstrated on a theatrical set with background films and music, , I would like them to show a toy in actual use by an average youngster. — after the child has been playing with it for a week. Raw Cookies The real rocket model would not reach the moon. It would be • shown breaking the overhead lights in the living room. The talking doll would open her mouth, but say nothing. The oven would turn out raw cookies and the carpet sweeper would pick up the dust and spit it out six inches later. Early in the season, a friend of mine got so frustrated by her children's gullibility that she started a full-scale brainwashing program. Every time a commercial was, shown, she would tell her children the toys were no • good. Pretty soon, she had a conditioned response. As the toy ads were shown, her little ones chant, "Look at the junk. It's all junk. Any toys that are on TV are no good." The day after Christmas, her husband's new boss came to dinner. He had neatly wrapped , packages for the little girls ... dolls that • had been advertised on . TV. As the girls opened the gifts, they happily sang in. unison, "Look, Mommy, fOur pieces of junk!" ' • Maybe it would be better to Students*Suppoi-t ban toy advertising altogether as' POW Petition being dangerous to a mother's mental health.

Concelebrated Mass Services to Mark 150th Anniversary Of Blessed Mother Seton EMMITSBURG (NC) — Services marking the, 150th anniversary of the death of Blessed Elizabeth Ann Seton, who may become the first American,born saint, have been scheduled here Sunday, Jan. 3.

Lapoloricia, official promoter of Mother Seton's • canonization cause, will come from Rome for a concelebrated Mass to be offered in the chapel of St. Joseph's , provincial house of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Mother Seton, a convert to Catholicism, founded th'e American branch of the Sisters' community in Emmitsburg in 1809. She also started a' school for young girls, which later became the foundation' of the parochial school system in this country.

Continues Service PHILADELPHIA . (NC) — The United Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A.'s Council on Church and Society has urged a twoyear-long continuation of the denomination's ministerial service primarily for objectors and their families. "There is no' evident decline in demand for these services," stated , the council, in sending its recommendation to the Church's Board of Christian Education and the Chmmittee on World Relief and Emergency Service for approval.

Vincentian Father Joseph ,I. Dirvin, author of "Mrs. Seton," will deliver the sermon. His work is 'a biography of Mother Seton, born in New ,York City, who became a Catholic in 1805 following the death of her husband. • Mother Seton was declared Blessed by Pope John XXIII 'in 1962. Daughters of ' Charity and other Church and civil dignitaries will attend the Mass in the chapel where Mother Seton's remains are enshrined and venel rated.

Cardinal O'Boyle Bans Comi-nunion-in-Hand r . . WASHINGTON (NC)-Cardinal Patrick A. , O'Boyle 'of Washington has ordered that priests and deacons in the •archdiocese refrain from giving Communion in the hand. In a pastoral letter, the' cardinal directed that the "practice of placing the Holy Eucharist on the tongue" be, followed: Cardinal O'Boyle reminded that the U. S. bishops at their November meeting here voted against introducing the Communion in the hand practice. He said the bishops', decision was based On two "forceful reasons" —that available evidence cated "by far the majority of the laity" is opposed to Communion in the hand, and the •"clanger of irreverence, admittedly never intended, remains too great." The Communion , in the hand practice has been used u 'on occasion at services in institutions of religious communities in the archdiocese.

St. PETERSBURG (NC)—Relevance of the Blessed Virgin 1.o modern times will be discussed by Catholic and Protestant scholars at the' 22nd Mariological Society of America convention here Jan. 4 and 5.

Morry, Providence, R.I., and Franciscan Sister Rosanne Jones, ' Tampa, Fla. •

Bars 'Death Sentence In Rape Cases WASHINGTON • (NC)—iudges• of the Fourth . U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals • here have ruled that imposing the death sentence for rape is unconstitutional if the victim's life is neither taken nor endangered. The panel of judges, which included one of President Nixon's unsuccessful n'ominess to the Supreme Court, Clement F. Haynsworth, declared that in all but the most aggravated rape cases, the death penalty amounts to the cruel and unusual punishment forbidden by the eighth amendment. Handed down on an appeal from William Ralph of Washington, convicted in the 1961 rape of a suburban Maryland housewife, the decision marked the first' time a court set, aside a death penalty on eighth amendmend grounds. Twelve men' awaiting death on rape convictions in Maryland, Virginia, . West Virginia and North and South Carolina may he affected by the decision.

Pennsylvania School Aid Case Seen as Precedent Setter WASHINGTON (NC) — For most Americans the names Alton .1. Lemon and David H. Kurtzman are not exactly household words. For the people of Penns'ylvania, for nopublic school educa- , tors, and for the nine justices of the United States Supreme Court, however, Alton J. Lemon and David H. Kurtzman are very important people. Alton Lemon is the child on whose behalf a major constitutional challenge to the Pennsylvania Nonpublic Elementary and Secondary Education Act (PNESEA) was launcned some two years ago. David H. Kurtzman is the state's Secretary of Edu'cation, named as principal defendant. The Lemon case promises to be the most important test of public aid to nonpublic schools to come before the Supreme Court in years — perhaps the most important ever. Enacted by the state legislature, the Pennsylvania act became effective on July. I,•1968. It provides for reimbursement of non-public i schools from state funds for part of the cost of educating students in four specified "secular" subjects—mathematics, modern languages, physical sciences and physical education. The state reimbursement is limited to three items of direct expense—textbooks,• instructional materials and teachers - sal-' aries. In adopting PNESEA, the state legislature described it as essential to meeting an "educational cri'si's" facing all 'schools and stu-' dents—public and non-public— in the state. 'Purchase Services' Briefly put, the legislators' argument was that unless nonpublic schools in Pennsylvania can stay in business and provide quality education, the result is likely to be widespread closing of such schools. This in turn would create "an intolerable financial burden to the public ... as well as school stoppages and long-term derangement and impairment of education in Pennsylvania."

One out of eery five elementary and secondary school pupils in Pennsylvania attends a nonpublic school. At present, 1,181 schools with an enrollment of some 535,000 pupils are under contract with the state to provide educational services under PNESEA. Technically speaking, the issue in the Lemon case • is whether it is constitutional for a state to "purchase services" from churchrelated cshools. More broadly, the question is whether state and federal programs of aid to church-related schools that go beyond fringe benefits like bus rides, health services and the loan of textbooks can stand up under stringent testing in the courts. For Catholic school people the case is crucial in more ways than one. Referendum votes in early November in Michigan and Nebraska against the principle of state ,aid to church-related schools came as a stunning blow to their hopes., President Interested . A favorable decision by the Supreme Court on the , Pennsylvania school aid law would breathe life into the flagging spirits of nonpublic educators. An unfavorable .decision would deepen their gloom. The White House, too, has an eye on the outcome of the Lemon case. Earlier this year President Nixon appointed a panel to study the financial problems of nonpublic schools and come up with recommendations on how the federal government might help. If the Supreme Court decides that the Pennsylvania law is constitutional, it could open the door to major new proposals by the presidential panel. If the court rules against the law, it is questionable what the panel could recommend and what the administration could do. The Pennsylvania school aid law has been widely regarded as a precedent-setting measure which not only provides badly needed financial assistance to nonpublic schools but also resolves the church-state impasse with surprising dexterity. -

State K of. C Leader Disputes Report to Council on Laity CAMDEN (NC)—A Knights of Columbus official disputed as unfair and unjust a report to a Vatican unit saying Catholic lay organizations are failing. Patrick J. O'Reilly, New Jersey K of C state deputy, said work done by his group "proves the vitality and meaningful accomplishments of just one of the organiiations" criticized in the report. The 'report, prepared by Martin H. Work, former executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men, was made to the Vatican Council on the Laity. It said that many of the older lay structures, such as the Knights of Columbus; the Catholic men's and women's councils and the St. Vincent de Paul Society, are failing. Work's report also said that there is little grassroots ecumenical activity in the Church in the United States and that major Catholic youth organizations

have all been wiped out in a few short years. , .Reilly said, "Mr. Work seems to overlook the fact that the Church in America depends very much on national and statewide organizations such as ours for support in so many of its undertakings and 'for the defense of many of its positions on • great moral issues." He cited the K of C role in helping 'to secure •passage of legislation providing state aid to nonpublic schools and ,efforts blocking attempts to liberalize New Jersey abortion laws. He also pointed to the K of C's increased membership rolls over the past few years, and said his organization formed 18 affiliated youth 'groups. "These are only the achievements of our statewide organization," Reilly said. "Similar activities are repeated many times over a greater scale by other state councils and by our national .order."

Squatter . Problem Allende Warns Chileans Against Seizing Newly Contructed Houses SANTIAGO (NC) — President Salvador Allende has warned thousands of homeless and illhoused Chileans that, although he had been sympathetic to their taking over unused lands, he will not tolerate their seizing workers' houses. His statement is supported by a new law that provides prison sentences of up to five years for convicted squatters. Nearly 5,000 newly constructed houses and apartments have been seized by squatters since Allende, a Marxist, was inaugurated in November. Many of the buildings were only partially completed. Some of the, houses were built by Chilean Caritas, the national Catholic charities organization; others were government projects, and about 1,700 were built by private developers. Most were' slated for occupancy by low-income families. Allende acknowledged that there are at least 430,000 illhoused persons in' Chile, and promised that housing will be high on his list of priorities and that his administration will step up the housing construction program begun by the previous administration. More than 300,000 homes were built during the six-year term of President Eduardo Frei. Allende and other government officials have attempted to discourage squatters, saying their actions are actually slowing down construction. Recently Allende visited some

After Harvest MIAMI (NC) — Cuba's Christand New Years celebrations have been 'postponed until July so that they do not interfere with the sugar harvest, Premier Fidel Castro has announced. "We cannot afford the luxury of fiestas when our sugar - harvest is behind schedule," Castro explained in a marathon radio and television speech heard here.

400 squatters who had seized a group of small brick houses. He told them the national housing shortage is a serious problem that "cannot be solved overnight." "What are we supposed to do, wait five or 10 years for a house?" a spokesman for the squatters retorted. The Chilean Chamber of Construction, representing private construction firms took out newspaper ads. urging the ministry of housing to crackdown on squatters. They said some construction companies have found it necessary to employ armed guards to ward off squatters. ,

New Commissioner Favors Federal Aid WASHINGTON (NC) — The Senate has confirmed President Nixon's choice of Dr. Sidney P. Marland Jr., as • U.S. Commissioner of Education. Marland, 56, superintendent of public schools in Pittsburgh from 1963 to 1968, has gone on record favoring federal . aid to nonpublic schools' and continuaation of the private school system. Two national' Catholic education officials publicly ' endorsed Marland's nomination when it was made public in September. Father C. Albert Koob, Norbertine priest who heads the National Catholic Educational Association here, praised Marland's "concern for the problems of all education, private as well as public." "Together with the Catholic schools of the country, we stand ready to assist the U. S. -Office of Education in its continuing efforts to provide quality education for all children," said a congratulatory telegram from Dr. Edward R.' D'Alessio, head of the U.S. Catholic Conference elementary and secondary education division.

DETROIT (NC)—Cardinal John Dearden of ' Detroit has given school officials a progress report on criteria established 'to help them decide whether to close their schools' or keep them open. A special .task force on education was formed to discuss. possible 'alternatives for 303 archdioesan schools in the wake of a state constitutional amendment wiping out most forms of nonpublic school aid, After the, task force began gathering statistics, Cardinal Dearden expressed the hope that at least 25 per cent of the archdiocesan schools might find ways to survive. In his letter•to principals, pastors and parish councils, Cardinal Dearden said a final report-' on the future of Catholic education in the archdiocese would have to be postponed, due to the Michigan Supreme Court's decision' to consider interpretation of the constitutional amendment in January. School officials should soon begin applying specific criteria to their focal situation, Cardinal Dearden said. "In this way, we should have clear direftions for the future, whatever the outcome of the Supreme Court deliberations," he said. Goals of Service The task force guidelines set firm standards of financial stability, and "very definite goals of service to all parishioners of every age group in educational and other programs," Cardinal Dearden said. A spokesman for the archdiocesan information office said specifics on the guidelines were not presently available. But he said they focus in part on the financial stability of a parish, and try to pinpoint whether parishes which support schools can continue to do so and still provide other services. There are 276 parish-sponsored schools with 128,951 students in the archdiocese. Cardinal Dearden also noted the guidelines urge "Christlike concern for others outside the circle of parish members." Earlier, he had insisted that if any Catholic schools were to survive, they would. have to serve not only the affluent, but the poor and those in between as well.

services in the Uptown District. Over a period of four months these volunteers went, -out each day to work in day 'labor jobs. Each evening they returned to an apartment in . Uptown and filled out detailed questionnaires about -their -experience. This preliminary 'investigation revealed that the day labor sys7 tem is full of abuses. Father. Millea's volunteers ,found, for example, that a day laborer may show up at a ,clay/labor service as early at 6 may have to sit around for several , hours waiting for. ..a job assignment, and then may be told that there is nothing- available for 'him' that , day. If he is lucky enough to get an assignment, he will receive an average -of. $11.09. after the day labor service has 'deducted its "cut" of 36 to - 50 per cent, and, more often than not-, may be required to, cash . his check at a. nearby taverri where he may .,be expected to buy a, drink as a kind' of kick-back to the' owner of the tavern.

Exploit Poor The most intolerable of all the abuses uncovered by .Father Mil-' lea's volunteer investigators was the so-called "90-day clause" which prevents* day laborers, for that period of time, fr om accepting permanent jolcis:‘ . with the companies to which they are assigned. • 'On. April 29—presumably as a direct result, of -the widespread publicity given to Father Millea's. Uptown- investigation — the American TempOrary . Service Contractors Association,. a kind of trade. association of day labor agencies, dropped this 90-day clause. The. trouble is,. however, that only 17 Out of approximately 200 day labor services in the Chicago area belongto the A.T.S.C.A. The 'rest are subject, to no control and can go right' on' exploiting the poor , without let or hindrance either from the industry itself 'or from any branch -of the government local, state, or federal.

Asks State Control Enacting legislation. to correct the abuses uncovered - by Project Amos' local chapters will be .extremely difficult, first of "all because- there is so little public. interest in the day' labor prob-, lem, and secondly, because the day labor industry has such'an extremely effective and well financed ' lobby which is -determined to preserVe the status quo. Nevertheless Project Amos, has started a legislative process which 'cannot be, stopped. Last April, State Representative Arthur Berman of the Rogers Park District in Chicago -ssintrodticed in the -Illinois State .legislature a bill which would put all day labor services in.

Berman :intends, however, to reintroduce the bill in the next . session of the Illinois legislature and is reasonably hopeful that

ARE YOU A PEACEMAKER! - Peace has as many meanings as there are kinds of strife of which to be freed. Peace of mind and spirit is freedom from mental anguish, despair, and ignorance. Peace ., is also freedom from physical and social strife: disease, poverty, and underdevelopment. Our Lord said, "Happy the Peacemakers"—blessed are those who relieve the causes of strife; blessed are those who see their brothers in need and do something to change their plight. Christ showed the example for spreading peace. It was Peacd He wished His followers to give to the world; it was by being makers of peace His followers would be called "Sons of God."

Who, then, are the Christian Peacemakers of today? Missionaries can certainly be called peacemakers because their entire lives are dedicated to bringing this Christian message of freedom to others. Like Christ, the Prince of Peace, they heal . the sick, teach the ignorant, forgive the sinner, and preach the Good News of salvation to the poor. The calling to be a peacemaker is not exclusive to the missionary, but' is the vocation of every Christian. Every follower of Christ, as our liturgy points out, should give to one another the sign of peace. Does not Christ speak to each one of us in the Mass with the words: "Go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord?" What then can your family do to share the peace of Christ with the entire Family of Man? I would propose the best contribution each family could make is to pray and sacrifice together for those missionaries who cannot be peacemakers for the world's suffering-poor without this spiritual and financial support' of the "peace-makers" back home. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith exists for• this purpoe. It is the Holy Father's own society desigrfated for the support of the entire Missionary Church.

Saved Taxpayers $42 Million

MUNDELEIN (NC) 7- If there was any doubt in Catholic minds where their American bishops stood on the question of keeping Catholic schools open, the issue was settled here. A two-day meeting of 40 prelates from across the nation advocated a plan to resell Catholics. on the moral and spiritual benefits of their "value-oriented" schools. In addition, the cardinals, • archbishops and bishops pledged to aid Catholic parents in efforts to .get financial help from public and private sources to make sure Catholic schools. stay open. Acting as spokesmen when the meeting ended at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary were Cardinals John Dearden of Detroit and John Krol of Philadelphia, along with Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans and Auxiliary Bishop William McManus of Chicago. Bishop McManus said that the "insecurity" parents and teachers feel about the future of the schools has caused a morale problem and a drop in parochial' school enrollments. The purpose of the meeting was "to allay confusion whether the bishops will back the schools or close them up," one participant explained.. The 40 bishops issued a statement Nat declared' Catholic schools "the. most effective instrument of Catholic education." It endorsed the principle of "parental rights in. education," acknowledged that Catholic Schools in the .United States are now "in a severe financial crisis" and recommended "a- vigoious campaign" to obtain financial relief.

KNOW YOUR FAITH Work and Worship , "Sesame Street" keeps countless youngsters' eyes glued to the television set and their minds growing in the process. Many adult viewers, however, may judge its huge success merely a happy accident and consider the program a childish, casual, sometimes spontaneous show which, for the moment, has caught our American fancy.

By -FR. JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN

How long the enormous popularity will last is, of course, a moot question. But one point remains certain — "Sesame Street" has achieved high ratings . and wide acclaim not through luck (although some of this undoubtedly helped), but because of work, hours of good, old fashioned hard work. From the idea stage through scripting until actual fiming, few facets are left to chance. Many talented, creative people labor long to produce what comes to us in a seemingly informal,, almost relaxed style. We should be willing to work so hard in preparation of the Sunday liturgy. God and congregations know well those many areas which need such careful attention—the music, the hoinily, the reading of scriptural texts. In this column I would like to examine the Prayer of the Faithful, now called General Intercessions, to see how imagination and effort could improve this part of the parish Mass.

General Intercession Articles 45-47 of the Roman Missal's General Instruction describe the prayer and give broad guidelines for its use. Priest and planning committee, according to the document, ought to incorpordte this "in all Masses celebrated with a congregation, so that intercession may be made for the Church, for civil author-• ities, for those oppressed by various needs, for all mankind, and for the salvation of the world." In its basic format, the celebrant invites his community to pray, a leader (deacon, cantor, commentator, representatives of

Promote Ecology FRESNO (NC)—If society does not promote conservation, not only nature but all mankind will suffer, Bishop Hugh A. Donohoe of Fresno has warned. Christians haye an obligation to future generations to preserve and maintain a healthy balance in nature, said the California prelate at an annual symbolic' dedication of a giant Christmas tree at Kings Canyon National. Park near here.

the congregation) presents the petitions, and the priest concludes with a summarizing prayer. • Several publishers now supply subscribing parishes with "canned" General Intercessions for both Sundays and weekdays. These are not necessarily bad and may even serve as indispensable crutches for those unable or unwilling to compose their own. But, I hope we soon will throw away these artificial supports and write personal Prayers of the Faithful which flow from the homily, speak to or about this particular congregation, and reflect the present period's urgent needs. Commercial versions prepared for a national audience, regardless of how skillfuly. fashioned, can never capture that local atmosphere and sense of the contemporary. Only a preacher or worship committee working Saturday with newspaper in hand, ear to the radio, and eye on television will succeed in accomplishing this. The priest's invitation, for example, should link his homily with those General Intercessions which follow immediately after the sermon. Likewise, the concluding prayer ought to be based on his talk's main thought or central points.

Specific Intention The specific intentions need to be concrete, possibly controversial at times and always current. For the needy, yes, but specifically between . Jews and Arabs in the Middle East; for the community, yes, but with reference to this very city sharply divided by a conflict over school busing; for the Church, yes, but concretized in a pastor or bishop appointed during the past week. Father Robert Hovda, writing in Worship's October 1970 issue, urges variety in content and form for the General Intercessions. The People's responses, to illustrate, could be recited one week, sung the next, and simple silence the third. The intentions might be symbolized by banners, visualized through slides, or underscored by newspaper headlines projected on the front wall. Hovda is right. We no doubt will pray well when a leader says, "For recent victims of the flood in Pakiston, let us pray to the Lord." We probably would pray better if then a picture flashed before us of an eight year old girl from that country wearing a scarf about her face to ward off the stench of death from unburied bodies. Good liturgies and General Intercessions like this don't just happen. They take work, hours of good, old-fashioned hard work. • Discussion Questions 1. What procedures should be followed in preparing a Sunday liturgy? , 2. Why is it wise to have a variety in content for the General Intercessions?

The Trouble and the Glory of the Flesh In St. Paul's time a school of thought regarded the body as a hindrance to intellectual and spiritual life. This attitude, adopted by philosophers in various parts of the ancient world, continued in the Christian era. We have much of it in the New Testament, including Paul's letters, and in later ascetical writings, rules of religious orders, etc. But the key Christian festivals of Christmas and Easter each year remind us of facts that throw quite a different light on the matter. From Chapter 15 of Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians comes much of that light.

By' FR. WALTER M. ABBOTT, S.J

Some Christians at Corinth were saying that the dead would not be raised to life (15:12) apparently because they felt the body didn't deserve to share in the glory of the afterlife. Paul replies that Christ's resurrection is proof that Christians too will rise from the dead; their bodies will be restored to them and will be very much better than they were in this life. Paul's line of thought is that Christ is the head of the body in which the Christians are members. Since the head has risen, the members must rise also (see 15:22, "all will be raised to life because of their union with Christ"). We know from other parts of. Scripture that all will rise, good and bad, saved and damned. In this chapter, Paiil speaks about the resurrection of the good, the just, the saved.

Gospel and Faith Paul's reply is not simply theological speculation. It is tied to the most basic truths of the faith. NotiCe how Chapter 15 begins. Paul reminds the Corinthians of the Gospel or Good . News which he . preached to them, which they received, on which their faith stands firm. To those three solemn descriptive phrases he adds a fourth: it is the Gospel through which they are being saved. The order is climactic. Then Paul presents, in verses 3-7, what is probably the earliest-written credal formula of the New Testament. The reference to "the Scriptures" in that formula means the Old Testament: which was the only collection of the Scriptures at the time Paul wrote. Notice that Paul says nothing here about the risen Jesus' appearances to the holy women. Look up Luke 24:11 and you will see why. Paul knew the general feeling of his time, that women were not readily believed as witnesses, so he does

NC Photo. not "spoil" his list of witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus by mentioning . women. When the Gospels were written, years later, they included the testimony of the women. Finaly, Paul lists the appearance of Jesus to hinh, indicating that he ranks himself with the apostles and the appearance to him with the ones given them. The other apostles, as he says, were progressively prepared by Jesus for the stunning event of the resurrection. Paul was suddenly, confronted by the risen Lord without having known him before at all.

Resurrection Is Basic When Paul says he has "worked harder than all the other apostles" he is not comparing internal disposition but simply referring to the fact that up to then, at least, he had covered more ground than all the rest of them combined. He had also suffered more than any of the others, with the exception of James, who had already been martyred. Paul says (15:14) that the mystery of the resurrection of Jesus is basic to everything .Christian as we know it from Jesus and the preaching of the apostles. I remember, in this connection, a fine sentence from an editorial in "America" some years ago (written by one of my colleagues, not by me): "The cry that fired the pagan world and led to its conversion was not a gently ethical 'Do Good,' a pale, philosophic Golden Rule, but the flaming news: 'He is risen!"

Bodies in Eternity Verses 20-28 in Chapter 15 are

fascinating for their insights about the end of the world and the glorified humanity of Christ. It is in virtue of his humanity that the Son, who as God is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, can "subject himself" to the. Father. Verses 35-37 are fascinating for their insights about our future bodies. Paul doesn't think it necessary to say so explicitly, but it is clear that he means we will have the same hodies we had in this life (see verses 53-54 where the Greek four times refers to "this" body putting on immortality, etc.) with new qualities. As for those who are still living at the end of the world, their bodies will be given the new qualities "in the twinkling of an eye" (RSV) or "as quickly as the blinking of an eye" (TEV). ' Chapter 15 is a great collection of our Beliefs and our hopes. It is interesting that Paul ends this section with a sudden application to daily life: "So then, my dear brothers, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for. the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever without value." If you think about. it, what he says can throw a lot of light on the time spent in this life taking care of the body's needs. Shouldn't the Christian be merrier than others when he eats and drinks?

Discussion Questions' 1. What relationship is there between the feasts of Christmas and Easter to 1 Corinthians 15? 2. What does Paul say about the end of the world in the 15th chapter of 1 Cor.?

Bishop Connolly High Looks to Future Of itself the announcement is like any other carried by newspapers throughout the diocese when new coaches are appointed. But, for the young men of Connolly it was very significant because it signifies the beginning of a formal freshman program at the new diocesan high school. For varsity Coach Jack Curry, it marks the beginning of a feeder system that will hopefully enhance the school's basketball program. Fall River is noted for its basketball talent, and if Connolly is able to produce a few more winning clubs like last year's Tech tournament qualifier, then perhaps a tradition will be established similar to the one at

On June 6, Americo Araujo heard bells. Three months later he was a ringing success! Following his freshman year at Southeastern Massachusetts University, Araujo took time out from his Summer activities to get married. On June 6, Miss Carol Ann Belmarce became his bride in a double ring ceremony at St. John the Baptist Church in New Bedford. The following September, the Corsairs opened their• 1970 soccer season and Araujo was a member of the starting lineup. Playing center-forward for the young blue and gold, Araujo was one of 'the few 'shining lights in what started' out to be a dark and dismal year. Rico had far less difficulty scoring goals than his team had winning. ' But thanks to a late season rush, SMU finished with a 4-7-1 record to rate among the ranks of the respectdble. Araujo finished the season with 21 goals and five assists for a total of 26 points and was the author of two school records. In additions to setting a new single game record for goals (6), he also tallied the most points in one game (8) and all against New Hampshire College whom the Corsairs defeated, 13-0. Following the season, he and two teammates were named to the Colonial Intercollegiate Soccer Conference All-Star team. Little Mike Duarte, whO tallied nine times and had a like number of assists (the latter a school record) and Rick Ray, the defensive standout of the squad, were the other all-stars. Both were co-captains of the team. Araujo developed his soccer abilities at New Bedford High where he was a standout member of the school's' soccer team. He came to SMU following his graduation in 190. As a freshman, Araujo worked his way 'into the starting lineup and rewarded coach Ray Oliver with 11 goals to rank among the top team corers. His two year goal output is 33. Americo is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Angelo Araujo, 183 Allen Street, New Bedford and is a communicant of St. John Parish. He is also one of four boys (Joseph, Raphael and Roberto). The swift ,center-forward does not list• any hobbies, although being newly ordained into the brotherhood of marriage, could create a few.
