by temporary camps at Horse­neck Beach, Tiverton, Foglandand Westport, all directed byRev. Francis McKeon. The num­ber of boys attending the camp­ing sessions increased yearly,and in 1919 the Lakeside Parkin East Freetown was rented fora month from the Eastern Mas­sachusetts Street Railway. Campwas conducted for boys for atwo-week session and for girlsfor one week.

The following year the Diocesepurchased the Lakeside Parkproperty 1;lnd offered campingfor one month for boys andone month for girls. In 1921 adining room was added to themain camp building. Previously,meals had been served in a tent.

In 1922 it was decided to usethe facilities for retreats whencamp was not in session, and inDecember of that year work wasbegun on a chapel and retreathouse. The first priests' retreatwas conducted in May of 1923;and in 1936 additions were made

Pope Paul Reaffirms Place of Doctrine and Bishops

$3,500 GIFT: Rev. John F. Hogan, Director of the New Bedford Welfare Bureau, presentscheck for $3,500 from Most Rev. James L. Connolly, -0.0., Bishop of Fall River, to West EndYouth Center in New Bedford for work among black's. Left to right, Father Hogan, AssistantWest End Youth ~enter Director Ronald J. Cruz, New Bedford tv\ayor Edward F. Harrington,Mrs. Duncan Dottin of Onboard, and West End Youth Center Director Errol Brooks.

Speaking on the occasionof the sixth anniversary ofhis pontificate, Pope Paul'made two strong paints: hedecried the atfempts Of someto change and lessen basicchurch doctrine; and he pointedto a lack of confidence by somein the Pope and bishops who,under a mandate from Christ,unite and guide the people ofGod.

The Pope indicated that theChurch is quite ready and will­ing to change those elements inand of the Church that are legis­lative and not doctrinal whenthere are reasons for so doing.But he insisted that the "depositof faith that the Church has in­herited from its apostolic origin"cannot be changed or lessenedor ignored as some have been·trying to do.

Pastors ObserveSynoda I Laws

Ten veteran monsignor­pastors have submitted theirresignations to Most Rev.James L. Connolly, Bishop ofFall River. Resignations, in ac­cordance with diocesan pro-syn­odal statutes, are acted upon aspastoral need indicates.

The diocesan statutes requirethe submission of resignationswhen priests reach their 75thbirthday. The acceptance of anyresignation rests with the Ordi­nary.

Rev. Msgr. Albert Berube,pastor of St. Anthony, New Bed­ford, resignation submitted onAugust 31, 1968.

Rev. Msgr. Alfred Bonneau,Pastor of Notre Dame deLourdes, Fall River, resignationsubmitted on April 26, 1967.

Rev. Msgr. Joseph A. Cour­noyer, pastor of St. Michael,Ocean Grove, resignation sub­mitted on June 18, 1969.

Rev. Msgr. James Dolan, pas­Turn to Page Three

As examples of the changethat has taken place and thatwill be taking place the Popesingled out the World Synodof Bishops that will take placein the Fall which will presentfor consideration all sorts ofopinions differing from his own.

Over' many past months therehas been a series of documentsrevising various Vatican organ­izations and spelling out theirfunctions and duties. Non-Ital­ians are being brought into Curiapositions.

The Pope also spoke of the"lack of confidence" shown bysome Catholics in the Pope andin his aides and bishops. Hesaid that he hears the criticismswith "sentiments of humility andsincere objectivity."

It is' unfortunate that someCatholics within the Church haveshown resentment of the Popeand bishops in their exercise oftheir mission as the only teach­ers in the Church. There has

In a letter read last weekendin all the churches of the dio­cese, Bishop Connolly has madea special appeal for aid for ourbrothers-in-need. Stressing theextraordinarily high rate of pov­erty, sickness, squalor and ig­norance, the Bishop appealed toall to supplement the sacrificies

been a tendency even amongsome priests and theologians andreligious to downplay this God­given role of the bishaps of theChurch, a role which cannot betaken by any other person how­ever well-qualified he may thinkhimself to be.

The structure of the Church,as established by Christ, makesthe Pope and the bishops theChurch's teachers and guides.

Another danger in the Churchis an attitude that would brushaside the importance of unchang­ing and unchangeable doctrinesand question these, not in anattempt to see them the moreclearly, but in an attack attheir objective truth and import­ance.

Once again, there are those in

the Church, even some callingthemselves theologians, who are.confusing the faithful by eitherquestioning basic beliefs or dis­cussing these in terms that thefaithfUl do not understand. It isthe role of theologians to try todevelop deeper insights into doc­trines and to see their fuller ram­ifications, but in the process thelanguage used and points ofview expressed can easily con-.fuse and can infer that the doc­trines themselves have changedradically.

The Pope insists that theteachings 'of the Church must beseen and understood in their ob­jective truth and that those whomislead the faithful along theselines carry a heavy burden ofresponsibility.

Settle PittsburghHospita I Strike

PITTSBURGH (NC)-The strik­ing X-ray technicians at twoNew Castle hospitals have re­turned (0 work, ending their 17­month strike.

The agreements reached be­tween the four technicians andthe two hospitals, St. Francisand Jameson, is considered a vic- .tory by the strikers for the AFL­CIO .American Federation ofTechnical Engineers, to whichthe New Castle technicians be­long.

"It is a 'round-about' way ofunion recognition," according toVictor Mills, member of the AFL­CIO national staff who has beenworking with the strikers.

However, Joseph Noviello, as­sistant administrator of 51. Fran­cis Hospital, emphasized that theagreement was.between the hos­pital and a committee of thethree St. Francis technicians andnot with the union.

The strike began Jan. 2, 1968,when nine technicians from thetwo hospitals walked off theirjobs after the hospitals' boardsrefused to recognize. their newlychartered chapter of the AFTE,local 25. At that time the St.Fran~is spokesman, Noviello,said "it is a policy of the hospi­tal not to recognize any union."

Prelate ()bservesGrowing Concern!r1)!f' hmdi~ent

INDIANAPOLIS (NC)A great deal has happenedin and to this world duringthe past decade in the areaof social justice and the TaskForce on Urban Problems of theUnited States Catholic Confer­ence "is evidence of a majorinstitutional commitment of theAmerican Catholic Church to theservice of the nation's poor andracially disadvanta~ed."

This observation was made byMsgr. Aloysius J. Welsh, TaskForce executive secretary, at aworkshop here for priests andnuns.

EnrichM TeachingsMsgr. Welsh recalled Pope

John's 1961 words and actionswhich. gave impetus to a grow­ing concern for the poor. Hecited the late Pontiff's encyclical,Mater et Magistra, and his defi­ance of papal protocol "by leav­

.ing the usual stately processionto converse personally with agroup of workers' representa­tives from Africa."

Msgr. Welsh said "since 1961a great deal has happened in andto this world of ours.

"The social teachings of theuniversal Church have been en­riched by Pacem in Terris, PopePaul's Development of Peoplesand the body of proncluncementsof the Second Vatican Council,highlighted by the Pastoral Con­stitution on the Church in theModern World," he explained.

"We can be sure that the 20th­century Catholic counterparts ofthe priest and levite of Christ'sparable of the Good Samaritanare relatively at least as wellinformed of the duties of organ­ized religion and of Christiansto respond to the needs of thewounded stripped and left by thewayside by robbers," Msgr.Welsh averred.

Need Is Now

He pointed out that the TaskForce is "more than a groupingof programs; rather it involvesthe religious community of, theChurch in a practical demonstra­tion that, given unity of purposeand coordination in action, thewhole is greater than the sumof its parts.

"The required orientationtowards action is the result bothof toe atmosphere of crisis andof the practical, concrete natureof the problems of race and pov­erty which. demand immediateattention," Msgr. Welsh noted.

Asks State StudySchool' Closings

AUGUSTA (NC)-A joint leg­islative order asking the MaineEducational Council to study theimpact of planned Catholic·school closings on the state'seconomy has been introduced inthe state legislature.

Plans for the closing of fivemore parochial schools in thediocese of Portland were an­nounced earlier.

Sponsor of th~ measure askingthe Education Council to lookinto financial implications of theclosings is> Senate EducationCommittee chairman Bennett D.Katz. He asked that the councilsubmit recommendations for leg­islation to the legislature.

The Catholic school closingshave sent public school officialsscrambling for money and facil­ities to handle the expected in­flux of- students from the closedschools. Maine law provides forspecial aid to public schools insuch circumstances but allowsno financial assistance to paro­chial schools.

~ Il'll ~ll'il@3 ~@ [fi)<d!LONDON (NC) - A new

bill aimed at legalizing vol­untary euthanasia is likelyto be presented to Parlia­ment within the next 18 months.

The Euthanasia Society, spon­sors of a campaign, said it wasworking on an amended versionof the bill rejected by Parlia­,ment this year. It said it hopes'to find a politician willing tosponsor a new bill within thelifetime of the present Parlia­ment, the limit of whose five­year term is early in 1971.

Details of the original bill andproposed amendments to it andalso of the debate which led toits narrow defeat' in the Houseof Lords, upper chamber ofParliament, were being studied.

The announcement was madeat a press conference organizedby the society to launch a bookon its campaign, "Euthanasiaand the Right to Die."

Doctors, Catholics OpposeEditor of the book, the Rev.

A. B. Downing, a Protestantclergyman who, is also chairmanof the society's executive com­mittee, said the general plea ofmost contributors was that thetime has come for individuals tohave the option of saying whenthey want to die.

"There is a duty to bring need­less, suffering to an end when itis not desired by the sufferer,"he said.

Though the book argues in themain for voluntary eu~hanasia, italso discusses euthanasia for thepatient iri no position to decideanything, the adult in an irrever­sible coma, for instance, or theyoung child with an incurablecondition.

Catholics can once again beexpected to be-with the sup­port of the majority of the med­ical profession-the main oppo­nent to any new bill.

But the narrowness of thevoting on the last bill makes itappear likely that sooner or,laterthe euthanasia lobby with its in­fluence among the intellectuals,the mass media and the parlia­mentarians will have its' way_This is the more likely to happenif the present Labor party gov­ernment continues in office.

Clergy Straw VoteJolts Merger Plan

LONDON (NC}-The 20-year­old movement for a merger be­tween the Church of Englandand the Methodist Church suf­fered a setback in a "straw vote"taken among Anglican clergy­men. The vote disclosed a largeminority of the Anglican clergyopposed to the so-called Serviceof Reconciliation.

The Service of Reconciliationis part'of the merger plan, whichinvolves mutual recognition ofministries and the promotion ofinter-communion.

Both advocates and opponentsof the merger in the AnglicanChurch were surprised by the re­sults of the vote. The ballot fig­ures showed 9,635 of the clergyin favor of the Service of Recon­ciliation with 5,621 opposed and243 abtsentions. In some of theAnglican dioceses the vote wasoverwhelmingly against the serv­ice.

NEW ORLEANS (NC)Father Louis F. Generes,superintendent of schools inthe New Orleans archdio­cese, has proposed the creationof a committee of laymen andReligious to investigate the over­all status of Catholic educationin the archdiocese.

The suggested investigationwould explore the possibility ofnew sources of revenue, drop­ping some grades and closing ofcertain schools, if necessary.

Father Generes' suggestionfollowed the release of a finan­cial committee report which pre­dicts that schools in the archdio­cese will operate at a $2 milliondeficit next year.

Pat Toner, author of the re­port, indicated the projecteddeficit is slightly smaller than inthe school year just ended. Theprediction is based on budgetssubmitted by 80 per cent of theschools in the archdiocese.

The report reveals the $2 mil­lion involved is a cash operatingdeficit and does not affect parishdebt retirements or the servicerendered the schools by priestsor Religious.

ports the board's policy of notclosing any schools, if at all pos­sible.

lf schools were to be closed,he said, the first ones to gowould be those in the lower in­come areas. "Because of this,"Father Generes said, "I share theview of many who feel theclosure of schools wQuld indicatean attitude on our part of onlyproviding a Catholic educationfor the affluent. Therefore, I feelthe operation of the parochialschools is the responsibility ofall Catholics."

of the many volunteers servingin South America by helpingwith our material resources.

The material help will be ac­cepted in all churches on Sunday,June 29. The Bishop's letter:

"If a man has this world'sgoods, and sees a brother inneed, yet closes his heart againsthim, how does God's love abidein him? Let us not love in wordor speech, but in deed and truth."

First Epistle of John: 3-17-18.

Beloved in Christ:This letter is written on behalf

of brothers-in-need. Latin Amer­ica is full of them. The incidenceof poverty and sicknes is ex­traordinarily' high. Along withsqualor goes ignorance, even ofthe truths of God. Many of ouryoung 'people, volunteers forpeace, have spent months andyears seeking to give the messageof hope, and faith, and lovewhere it is most needed. Therest of us might well help withour material resources.

Our recent Vatican Council di­rects us all to do this. "Wher­ever there are people in 'J1'eedof food or drink, clothing, hous­ing, medicine, employment, edu­cation; wherever men lack fa­cilities for living a truly humanlife, or are tormented by hard­ships or poor health, there Chris­tian charity should seek themout, console them with eagercare, and relieve them with thegift of help. This obligation is im­posed above all upon e:very pros­perous person and nation." (De­cree on Apostolate of the Laity-Documents of Vatican II, p.499).

There's great talk nowadaysof "love." Often enough, it issentimental. Sometimes it is un­selfish. But generally speakingit is characterized more by wordsand protestations instead ofdeeds. One might almost saythat "love" features the worldof the wishful, rather than theworld. of the workers. So manyare preoccupied with their ownneeds that "love" is judged todescribe what somebody does forus, rather than what we can andshould do for others.

It is ·against this dispositionthat Saint John speaks in ourtext above: "Let us not love inword and speech, but in deedand in truth." Saint James sup­ports this argument: "If a broth­er is ill-clad and in lack of dailyfood, and one of you says tothem, 'God in peace,' withoutgiving them things needed forthe body, what does it profit?"

Our Blessed Lord, Himself,counsels us, in these words: "Aslong as you have given food tothe hungry and drink to thethirsty, shelter to the homeless,you have done it to me." "What­soever you have done for oneof these least, my brethren whobelieve in me, you have done tome." (Matthew: 25-35,40.)

Because there is grave needin Latin America; because theyare all our brothers in Christ;because we prove our. Faith byour charity. Let us all unite nextSunday, June 29th, in giving toprove that we love in deeds aswell as words.

Faithfully yours in Christ,

The Priest =

More Than a F11JJlu~tionary

Many persons, when they think of or see a priest,consider him in what might be called his sacramental role..They see him offering Mass or baptizing a baby or anoint­ing the sick or hearing confessions.

In this role he is acting as a dispenser of the gracewon by Christ. He is performing the function of channel­ing the grace of Christ to men. The effectiveness of whathe does depends not on his own worth but on the actionof Christ working in and through him. Of course, if heis especially holy 0" sincere 9r intelligent or personablethis makes an added and worthy impression, but thebasic and essential action of making holy is the actionof Christ.

If this is all that: a priest is, and does-and it is not­but if this is all that a priest is seen to be, then just aboutany reasonably worthy Catholic who is willing to per­form these functions could be ordained to carryon theministry: of giving the sacraments.

This sacramental ministry does not, after all, take toomany hours a week and could easily be part-time. Massevery morning, two or three Masses on Sunday, three orfour hours. a week hearing confessions, an hour a weekfor baptizmg, anointing the sick-several times a monthin an average parish and many ,many more times in theparishes having hospitals-the sum total of this kind ofsacramental ministry would amount to no more than fif­teen or twenty hours or so a week.

true, this is several times more than the time givenby the average Catholic to his Church and Church-relatedactivities, but that is all.

This kind of a ministry is perfectly compatible with. marriage and also with another part-time or even a full­

time job. With most of toclay's jobs involving a thirty-fiveor forty hour week, the added fifteen or twenty hourswould not make life unbearable for such a priest norwould it deprive his wife and c/.1ildren of too much of

"him. .. But that is not the extent of the priest's work.

It is not the extent of his role:That is a narrow and limited and far from complete

view of the priest as he is. This view sees the priest asmerely' a. functionary..He is more than .that.

The priest is also, like Christ, a prophet. In the Greekroot meaning of this word, this means a preacher-byword and example.

• By his life a priest is supposed to proclaim the Wordof God throughout his whole life and. activities. He is I

the gospel walking on the earth, pointing out every dayand all day long the spiritual dimension of man's life andexistence and purpose on earth. He is the v.isible sign ofChrist among His people. .

By his life the priest is supposed to be a sign of the~uffering Christ. His free and willing acceptance of celi­bacy, his life of comparative poverty (considering histwenty year of education) and, many times, actual poverty,surely project this sign of the Christ of sacrifice.

Like his Master, Christ, the priest is without wifeand family in order to be a member of all families. He­withdraws from one family in order to draw closer toall families. .

By his life the priest is supposed to be the sign ofthe servant Christ. His full-time .and exclusive dedicationto· God and to· all of God's people makes him not onlyready but committed to perform the spiritual and corporal ~

work of mercy on an always-available basis, as the solereason for his "life, as a commitment that does not countthe hours spent or the inconvenien'ce demanded or theremuneration received.

Counselling, instructing, comforting, assisting in dif­ficulties' listening when no else can or will-indeed, 'thewhole range of activities listed under the spiritual andcorporal works of mercy-all this is the work of the ser­vant priest.

By his life the priest is supposed to be the firstChristian in the community, doing full-time and exclusivelyfor all people and as his whole 'vocation what other Chris­tians are called upon to do within the limits of their vo­cations as married or single person§. but as persons, allof them, also having some other work or trade or occupa-

BALTIMORE (NC) - Resultsof a $100,000 grant from theBaltimore archdiocese to 13 pov­erty groups represents a mixtureof achievement, failure, surprisesand some public enmbarrass-ment. '

Last Summer, the archdiocesegave the money to the 13 groupswith "no strings attached" aspart of an experiment aimedat helping community groups de­velopment leadership and de­cision-making skills. The groups'used the money in divergentways-one group established afood cooperative, while anotherdonated its funds to the BlackPanthers.

Father Henry Offer, directorof the archdiocesan Urban Com­mission, explained that some ofan $8,00 grant, originally givenfor a project in the Fourth Wardof Annaplois, was turned overto the Panthers when the proj­ect folded. This was done, hesaid, without the knowledge ofthe archdiocese. This fact wasverified by Mrs. GenevieveBeary, chairman of the project.

CHARLESTON (NC) - For!yCharleston clergymen, including11 priests of the Charleston dio­cese, have asked President Nixonto arrange for federal mediationin the three-month-Iong hospitalstrike here.

The clergymen, representingall major Christian "enomina­tions, said "without mediation,our city may well become a Sum­mer battleground, a possibilityall the more sad since it is sounnecessary."

In a letter to the President,the members of the ConcernedClergy Committee expressedaiarm over imposition of a cur­few and the calling out of theNational Guard. .

Many of the letters' signershad served on committees deal­ing with leaders of labor, man­agement and government.

In April, 34 local clergymenformulated a "Peace With Jus­tice" proposal, which they pre­sented as a starting point towarda solution. They asked for rec­ognition by hospital authoritiesof an elected committee of work­ers in the non-professional cate­gory. Union membership wouldnot be a requirement for votingor for election, the proposalstated,

Basic issues in the strike byNegro hospital workers, whichbegan March 20, are union rec­ognition and higher pay. In­volved are more than 600 nursesaides, orderlies and food work­ers.

At the same time thatI purchased the blueberries Ialso bought a large slice ofbright red watermelon, but thathas long since disappeared intothe tummies of my offspring.

The raspberry. bushes in thebackyard show promise of anabundant crop and this year I'mdetermined to find that recipefor raspberry pie that I first usedwhen I was first married. It wasa beautiful, bubbly, juicy confec­tion that dre.ams are made of but ­alas the recipe has disappeared.

For· the first time, since we·began planting them a few years·back, our dwarf pear and appletrees have fruit to spare butagain I'm sure small hands willcapture it before I can whisk itinto the house and into a recipe.

to say around long enough togive us thought as to what toshould do with the extras andWhen the tomato plants are attheir fullest we even find our­selves looking for recipes to usethem up.

Secondly, take all doors offthe house. Never do our chil­dren close the outside door.Rather, they slam it with asmuch force as they can musterand as they grow older theyseem to develop a knack ofslamming it so it echoes through­out the house.

Next, forget about cleanlinessfor the Summer. Don't eventhink about changes of clothesduring the day. Throw the chil­dren in the shower every night­and burn what they've had on.Better to live with cavemen thanhave a nervous breakdown.

Lastly, remember that schoolwill come again. Just as thechildren have been counting thedays until the end of school, youcan start counting the days1mtilschool is back in. It alwaysstrikes me as curious that LaborDay comes at the end of Sum­mer when most mothers are be­ginning to think about doing

In his letter, "in order to avoidall confusion in this matter,"Bishop O'DonnelI stated that"so-called 'general absolution,' orabsolution given publicly to oneor many, without prior confes­sion of grave sins, both as tonumber and kind, is absolutelyforbidden and a direct violationof the regulations now govern­ing communal penance celebra­tions.

"The permission and the direc­tives that priests in unison mayconfer absolution on the reas­sembled community is not gen­eral absolution," he said, "be­cause the priests who are givingthe absolution may lawfully giveit only to those penitents whohave already confessed to them,"

The guidelines, entitled "TheSacrament of Reconciliation,"state that a communal peniten·tial service should include thefollowing elements: entrance mu­sic and opening prayer by apriest; scriptural readings; hom·ily; lay peoples' response; con­fession; absolution; penance, andrecessional.

In a letter to priests of thediocese, Bishop O'Donnell said"the private or traditional formfor the sacrament of Penance isnot attacked, diminished or re­placed by these guidelines.

English Church Backs'Friendship Meals'

LONDON (NC)-The Ecumen­ical Commission for England andWales has urged. Catholics andother Christians to express theirfriendship for each other bysometimes taking part in anagape or "friendship meal."

The commission, which wasset up by the English bishops,defines such a meal as "an ordi­nary meal shared by dividedChristians or by a family group.It is informal and can take avariety of different forms by theintroduction of Scripture read­ings, prayer, thanksgiving,breaking and sharing of breadand sometimes also by the bless­ing and passing round of a cup."

It should be a "type of pass­over meal," but the commissionemphasized that such an agapemust under no circumstances beidentified with the Eucharist orintercommunion.

DALLAS (NC) - Texas's ob­scenity law was ruled unconsti­tutional by a panel of three fed­eral judges because it lacks aclear definition of the word "ob­scenity."

The court said material couldbe considered obscene only if itwere "utterly without redeemingsocial value." These words donot appear in the state's Qbscen­ity law.

A new obscenity law is await­ing Gov. Preston Smith's signa­ture. The new law reportedlydoes contain the definition ofobscenity recommended by thecourts. The new law would gointo effect 90 days after Smithsigns it.

All your un·married dependent children (and future additions)between 3 months and under 19 are included, atno extra cost, as long as they live at home.

If you are the only parent living with your chil·dren, we suggest the ONE·PARENT FAMILYPLAN. This covers you and all eligible childrenliving at home between 3 months of age and under19. Under this plan, of course, future additionsnre not included since no maternitY benefit isprovided in the ONE·PARENT FAMILY PLAN.

If you have no children. -or if your childrenare grown and no longer dependent on you, youwill want the HUSBAND·WIFE PLAN.

pital?Each plan has its Own "Aggregate of Benefits,"what we call the maximum.

For example. under the ALL-FAMILY PLAN,rho maximum is $10,000-$100 a week ($14.28a day) extra cash income while you are hospital.ized. $75 weekly ($ 10.71 daily) while your wifeis hospitalized. $50 weekly ($7.14 daily) for eacheligible child hospitalized.

It becomes effective the very same day we teceiveyour Enrollment Form. Accidents that occur on orafter that date are covered immediately. Aftet yourpolicy is 30 days old. sicknesses which begin there­after ate covered. Under the ALL·FAMILY PLAN,childbirth or pregnancy or any·consequence there·of is covered after your policy has been in forcefor 10 months.10. What if someone in my family has had a

health problem that may occur again?

Any coveted family member who has suffered fromchronic ailments in the past will be covered forthese pre-existing conditions after he has been pro­tected by the policy for twO years.11. What conditions aren't covered?

You, of course, can drop your pol.icy on any renewal date.

13. Why is the Hospital Plan for Catholics at.most like having an extra "bank account"?

The Czechs commonly saythat the Russians did them' afavor when they rolled in withtheir tanks one summer night inAugust, 1968.

As far as the nation is con­cerned, the presence of the So­viet troops, which is armed in­vasion and armed occupationpure and simple, has given them'a cau!>e for national unity whichthey have not known since thenational uprising against thenazis in 1944.

As far as the communist gov­ernment of Czechoslovakia isconcerned, it is embarrassed.And that increases the hopes ofthe general populace, who longago became disenchanted withtheir communist government,yet ,saw no way out.

The Russian invasion and sub­sequent buJly tactics have madeit eminently clear to every Czechthat his country has become onevast prison with the Russians asjailers.

Creates UnityAs far as the Catholic Church

'is concerned, its position isstrengthened. This is becausethe Church has been the greatestopponent of the communistsfrom the beginning, and now,seeing that the Church wasright, many former foes havebecome her friendS and arequietly supporting her efforts,even in high and official places.

The unity which the Russianoccupation has created in theCz~chs is heartening and inspir­ing to witness. It expresses it-.self mainly in a spirit of digni­fied non-cooperation. Contraryto what news reports may indi­cate occasionaJly, the CzechsgeneraJly abhor aJl unnecessaryviolence and vandalism.

Focus Attention onOf White Working'

12

By Msgr. George G~ Higgins

Director, Division of, Urban Life, U.S.C.C.

In recent months a number of authentically "liberal"magazines have begun to pay sympathetic attention to theplight of the white working class in the United States­not the fortunate few who be!ong to the so-called aristoc­racy of labor, but the greatmass of so-called workingstiffs who are just getting

, by and have the feeling ofbeing hopelessly trapped by thesystem. The sudden surge of in­terest in theplight of thesepeople repre­sents a signifi­cant change of

,attitude withinthe liberal com­munity, for un­til very recent­ly, as Peter Ha­mill points outin the April 14issue of themagazine NewYork (not to be confused withThe New Yorker), there has beena general failure on the part ofthe "literary-intellectual world'to fully recognize the existenceof the white working class, ex­cept to abhor them."

Hamill, who was one of Sen­ator Robert Kennedy's earliestsupporters in his tragically ill­fated bid for the Presidency anddid some writing for the Sena­tor during the early days ofhis campaign,now belongs tothis literary-intellectual' world,but he is proud to let it beknown that he comes from alower middle class background.

Moreover he has never losttouch with the workers withwhom he grew up in Brooklynas the son of poor immigrant'parents. He continued to social­ize with them on a regular basis, 'more often than not, I wouldgatner, in the neighborhood sa­loons which serve as theirequivalent of rich men's privateclubs.

'Could Be the End'I would be' inclined' to take

his word for it, then, whenhe reports in the article "referredto above ("The Revolt of theWhite Middle Class") that asignificantly large number of lowincome white workers are evenmore alienated than manyblacks, are literally in revoltagainst the system, and "arebeginning to look for someoneto blame ... and that someoneis certainly going to be the blackman."

Mr. Hamill himself" it goeswithout saying, is deeply dis­turbed by this rather frighteningdevelopment. In: fact, he goesso far as to, say that, unless itcan be reversed, it may well re­sult in a round of race ,riots notbetween people and, propertybut, this time, between peopleand people. '''And that, he con­cludes almost apocalyptically,"could be the end of us." It couldindeed.

The difference, however, be­tween Hamill and sci many otherLiberals who belong ,to theliterary-intellectual world is that,instead of sneering at the alien­ated members of the white lower

,middle class from an ivory tow­er, makes a desperate effortto put himself in their shoes andto ,try to, understand why somany of them a're on the vergeof revolt. '

Serious Trouble AheadToo many intellectuals, he

says, are either unWilling or un.

Masses in HomesCOVINGTON (NC)-A program

of Masses in homes and neigh­borhoods has been adopted inthe Covington diocese, accordingto guidelines issued by the dioc­esan liturgical commission.

According to instructions re­ceived by all priests of the dio­cese, "these rather flexibleguidelines for Masses in homesand neighborhoods are presentedto aid priests and people informing such small worshippingcommunities for the enrichmentof Christian life."

Reasons advanced for the needof such a program include: pro-·moting a sense of community forparticular groups or sections ofthe parish through liturgicalworship; making Mass availablefor the sick, the aged, the shut- ­ins; giving a natural setting forreligious education through thecelebration of Mass in a moreinformal and personal setting;bringing the Eucharist intoplaces with particular troubles orsocial problems.

Scores~ AttitudeToward Israe~

HOUSTON (NC)-Rabbi LeviA. Olan, president of the CentralConference of American Rabbis,urged hIS fellow clergym~n ,<June16) to assign a lower PrIOrIty totheological discussions withChristian leaders because oftheir "neutral" if not "antagon­istic" attitude toward Israel.

The head of American ReformJudaism's rabbinic body statedhis position at the opening ses­sion of the organization's 80thannual convention here. Manyof his colleagues disagreed andurged extension and intensifica­tion of such interreligious discus­sions.

Rabbi Olan asked that inter­faith contact with "the church"be limited to a "common attackagainst the so~ial evils o~ <?urday." He criticIzed the Chnstlanworld for what he called its con­tinuing failure to support Israelin its "struggle to survive."

He attributed this to what hedescribed as the "church doc­trine that Israel's successful ex­istence is a Christian heresy;the peopl,e that reject Jesus theSaviour must fail and suffer sothat their sinfulness will bebe proved." He also accusedchurch organizations of uncriti­cal acceptance of the "Arabpropaganda line."

At a meeting before his sched­uled address the conference's ex­ecutive board adopted a state­ment which said:

"We are aware of the opinionheld by some in our communitythat interfaith contacts betweenChristians and Jews be limitedto collaboration in civic affairsand avoid conversations of the­ology.. We repect as artificialand in the long run untenablethis split between action andprinciple. "

IPr·omise to HelpPolitical P'risoners

MADRID (NC) - Two leadingSpanish prelates have promisedrelatives of political prisonersthey will try to improve prisonconditions, but a third refusedto see a delegation of relatives.

The prisoners' relatives, mostof them women, have been press­ing demands in vJlrious parts ofSpain, by demonstrations andother means, for an alleviationof the alleged ill treatment ofpolitkal prisoners.

One of their basic demands isthat the prisoners be dealt withas a special class and not ascriminal offenders. Considerablesupport for this position hascome from attorneys and politi­cal leaders.

Pope GratefulFor W'e~come

VATICAN CITY (NC) - PopePaul VI has stated that he was"welcomed with extreme cour­tesy" at the headquarters of theInternational Labor Organizationin Switzerland. He did not men­tion his visit to the World Coun­cil of Churches, also in Geneva.

The Pope was speaking at hisfirst general audience since histrip to Geneva.

He said he had been receivedat the ILO "with simplicity andrespect, not only toward ourmodest person but still more to­ward our word and our mis­sion."

He continued: "We feel boundto renew publicly our gratitudefor the welcome given to us andto the persons who accompaniedus, jU3t as we desire to repeatthe praises and. good wishes ex­pressed in those circumstancesfor the work of that deservinginstitution."

He had obtained an "optimis­tic" impression of the world oflabor, he said.

Although he observed that sel­fishness is "the perennial temp­tation and even "the characteris­tic sin of the economic field," hesaid the idea that the world oflabor is governed by self-interest"has been overcome at least the­oretically, and that is a greatdeal already."

Another achievement of theworld of labor, he said, is thaton the scale of values man hasbeen put higher than what heproduces.

Benemerenti MedalAwarded to Judge

ROME (NC)-An Halo-Amer­ican judge has been decoratedfor his struggle against legisla­tion that kept the Italian immi­gration quota into the UnitedStates '!:t a low level.

Judge Juvenal Marchesio ofthe family court of the state ofNew York received the Beneme­renti medal of the SdtlabriniFathers for his "humanitarianand Christian principles" in call­ing for fair immigration legisla­tion.

Judge Marchesio is the foun­der of the American Committeeon Italian -Migration (ACIM).The Scalabrini Fathers hadfought for fair immigration lawsat the turn of the century.

ACIM struggled for almost 15years against the restrictive Im­migration Act of 1924, and theMcCarren-Walter Act of 1952,which former U. S. Vice Presi­dent Hubert Humphrey called"cruel, unworkable, discrimina­tory and illogical."

Emphasizes Lag~1!1' U. S. Trade,Aid P~~icie~

WASHINGTON (NC)-Awarning against "guilt trans­ference" by making NewYork Gov. Nelson A. Rocke­feller a "scapegoat" to obscurethe "tragic inadequacy" of thiscountry's Latin American tradeand aid policies has been issuedhere by the director of the Divi­sion for Latin America, UnitedStates Catholic Conference.

Father Louis M. Colonnese re­called when he visited Caracas,Venezuela, to attend the Inter­American Bishops' meeting, he"encountered severe criticism ofRockefeller's Latin Americanfact-finding trip. I see this as apotentially dangerous trendwhich could make Rockefeller ascapegoat and the object of na­tional guilt transference," hesaid.

True Value"I object to many things about

the Rockefeller trip and I haverelayed these sentiments to hisadvisers who requested our ad­vice," Father Colonese noted.

"My objections stressed hisfailure to utilize Church socio­economic experts, non-contactwith youth movement leaders,the brevity of his visits and sev­eral other points.

"But the true value of his triplies in the fact that he is en­countering strong resentment ofU. S. trade and aid policieswhich he will convey to Presi­dent Nixon and the Congress."

President Nixon, he said, "hasreceived a memorandum com­piled by Latin America's foreignministers at Vina del Mar, Chile,which strongly criticizes inter­American cooperation and assist­ance.

Lacks Commitment"It makes specific reference to

'the progressive deterioration ofthe volume, terms and conditionsof international financial assist­ance' and U. S. tied loans toLatin America," Father Colon­nese stressed. He cited othersimilar objections.

"Rockefeller has correctlystated that the key issue is theway in which President Nixonand the Congress respond to thisinformational input," the priestobserved.

The New York governor's re­port and the "informational in­put" make Latin American re­sentment "crystal clear andleave our national leaders no ex­cuse for failing to adequatelyunderstand and respond to thischallenge," Father Colonnesesaid.

Consistent budget cuts in theAlliance for Progress, he de­clared, show that the U. S. doesnot have a firm national commit­ment to stimulating developmentof Latin America.

Accurate CarometerFather Colonnese said U. S. in­

vestments and loans must not beincorrectly labeled as "benevo­lent, unselfish assistance" whenpolitical, military and econom­ic strings make such tied loansineffective gestures.

Father Colonnese emphasizedthat criticism of Rockefeller'strip must not lead to its cancella­tion because the resentment heis encountering is "an accuratebarometer" of this country's fail­ure to meet adequately theneeds of the Latin Americanpeople and to rectify past in­justices.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Thecampus Ministries Department:of the Center for Applied Re­search in the Apostolate (CARA)issued a preliminary progress re ..port on its research' into reli··gious life on college and univer­sity campuses.

The departmen;t;;' Unanced bya $260,000 five~~ean 'grant fromthe Knights of Columbus, openedlast Fall. .

The report called universities"the dynamic center of contem­porary life" where observers cansee "the shape of the future,," It

. acknowledged that the campus issometimes also a "battleground,"but said "the majority" of the6.7 million students in 2,200 col-leges and universities "are'neither militant nor violent,"

It' added, however, that "near­ly all students share the perplex·ity of the adult world:' over howbest to solve social' and econom·ic problems" in an era ·of. quick·ened conscience,"

Permanent Status"The report said the Campus

Ministries Department is cur­rently delineating the scope ofits Jive-year research program.Initial studies will include a sur­vey of the status of Sisters serv­ing in the Newman Apostolate, adirectory for priests assigned aschaplain!) in Catholic colleges,and the identification of themost serious problems and suc­cessful programs among priestsserving Catholic students in non-

parochial high schools, and the12 high' schools operated by thearchdiocese itself.

The report does not includefinancial information on the 57secondary schools conducted bythe religious community i n thearchdiocese.

The more than $11 millionspent by the archdiocese on edu­cation is in addition to the ex­penditures of Catholic parishion~

ers for their local scho.ols, whichthe report said was "over $24million" for the year.

face of widespread criticism ofPope Paul VI's trip to Geneva,Vatican City's daily newspapermaintains that "the facts" markit .a success.

"From the point of view ofecumenical hopes, the fruit wasall that could have been 'hopedfor within the confines of thereciprocal and profound demandsof truth and of charity," L'Osser­vatore Romano wrote.

"So at the International LaborOrganization, the welcome ofthe 1,200 delegates from everyland was palpably favorable and 'fruitfuL" . .

L'Osservatore Romano . saidthat the :'appreclation" shownby Swi11S newspapers, includingProtestant newspapers, was"very warm, in significant con­trast with observers alien toSwiss opinion and the Swiss psy­chology."

Apparently referring to criti­cism of Pope Paul's address tothe World Council of Churches(WCC), when he reaffirmed thepapal primacy and said the timewas not ripe for Roman Cath­oli m'embership in the WCC,the Vatican .City newspaper saidsome writers "would havewished the immediate overcom­ing of the doctrinal and psycho­logical obstacles that still divideChristians."

Says Real .ServiceIs Road. to Unity

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Thepresident of ·the Vatican Secre­tariat for Promoting ChristianUnity told eC1,1menical leadersmeeting here that the road toChristian unity leads through atrue and real service to theworld.

Addressing Christian ecumen­ists at the National Workshopfor Christian Unity, Jan CardinalWillebrands, Dutchborn presi­dent of the unity secretariat, saidthat Christianlinity will only beachieved by a church - that isready to serve rather than torule.

"As long .as the church doesnot forge instruments of recon­ciliation and reunification as ef­fective, or more effective, thanthose produced by the secularsociety, that society will receivethem skeptically," Cardinal Will­ebrands said.

"The Church lays claim to be­ing a sign of man's future unity,yet often appears to be irrelevantbecause of its excessive preoc­cupation with its own concerns."

A spokesman for the break­away growers said they had de­cided to negotiate. because of theunion-sponsored boycott of Cali­fornia and Arizona grapes.

"It is costing us more to pro­duce and sell our grapes thanwe are getting paid for them,"the spokesman said.

Chavez heads the United FarmWorkers Organizing Committee,affiliated with the AFL-CIO,which has spearheaded a four­year strike against the growersand an international boycott oftable grapes.

But Martin J. Zaninovich ofDelano, president of the SouthCentral Farmers Committee andchief spokes'man for the dissent­ing. growers, denied the boycotthad had any significant effect.

He admttted that the agree­ment of the 10 growers to nego­tiate was a "breakthrough," butsaid the grape-growing industry"will not sell out the Americanconsumer or agricultural work­ers" by yielding to "coercive"union pressures.

NEW YORK (NC)-The New York archdiocese spent. a total' of $20,953,000 from its central funds on charitable,educational and, pastoral activities in 1968, according toan offiical report released here. Terence Cardinal Cookeappeared on the archdioce­san Instructional TelevisionSystem for a detailed dis­cussion of the report, whichwas also issued as a supplementto the Catholic News, archdioc­esan newspaper.

The report revealed that al­though income was $14,263,000and special gifts and bequeststotal~d $5,468,000, expenses ex­ceeded reven ues in 1968 by$1,222,000.

Chief cause of the deficit, thereport indicated, was the risingcost of education, especially inthe 12 archdiocesan high schoolswhich suffered operating lossesof $2,160,000. In addition$1,279,00 of archdiocesan fundswas used to meet the operat­ing costs of parish schools in theinner city.. The report does not cover the

financial activities of the individ­ual parishes of the archdiocese,which are reported separately bytheir pastors.

Education Costliest

The public report was the firstof its· kind for New York.

Opposes SupremeCourt DecisionOn Tax Cases

WASHINGTON (NC)-Aformer law school dean hascalled on Congress to enactlegislation "stripping all fed­eral courts of' jurisdiction tohear cases involving state taxa­tion of property used for reli­gious purposes." .

The appeal by Dr. ClarenceManion of South Bend, deanemeritus of the University ofNotre Dame law school, came inthe wake 0 f the U. S. SupremeCourt's decision to rule on theconstitutionality of a case in­volving state laws exemptingchurch property from statetaxes.

Manion, regarded as an au­thority on constitutional law,has warned that the high. court'sagreement to hear the case"portends the death of our in­stitutional .religion."

He charged the court headedby 'Chief Justice Earl Warrenhas prejudged the issue becauseof its decisions in banning prayerfrom the nation's public schools.The former Notre Dame deanasserted:

"Its predictable ruling willwipe out poor churches and turnbig ones into museums of athe­ism as in Moscow."

Series of !Losses"In God's name, therefore, I

am urging you and every mem­ber of Congress immediately tosupport a bill stripping all fed­eral courts of jurisdiction tohear cases involving state taxa­tion of property used for reli­gious purposes," Manion pleadedin telegrams to all members ofCongress.

The case the U. S. SupremeCourt agreed to rule on involvesNew York Attorney FrederickWalz who sued the New YorkCity Tax Commission, contend­ing that tax-exemption grantedto churches forced him to con­tribute to their support by in­creasing his own property tax.

Walz's appeal was denied bythe trial court-New York Su­preme Court; then by the Appel­late Division, First Departmentof that court, and finally, by theCourt of Appeals 'of New York­the state's highest tribunal.

Acting as his own lawyer,Walz claims to be "a Christianbut not a member of any reli­gious organization - rejectingthem as hostile."

The New York City Tax Com­mission has ruled Walz failed toestablish that the state's realproperty tax law "affects him in­juriously and actually depriveshim any constitutional rightsunder either the First and Four­teenth Amendments to theUnited States Constitution," asWalz claims.

In the nation's annal.s' onlythree chaplains, ;all . Catholicpriests, have been awarded thenation's' highest honor forheroes. An Honor Medalist is ex­cused ~rom further combat duty,according to military tradition., But Father (Capt.) Angelo J.

Liteky, 37, M.SS.T., told theRotary Club ot South Jackson­ville: "I am returning to Vietnambecause I feel that ,now morethan' ever, Americans ~n thelines will need whatever moralsupport I might give,"

Father Liteky, a peacetimemissioner among Negroes beforehe became an Army chaplain,has taken a dim view of the an­nounced withdrawal of 25,000U. S. troops from Vietnam. Hesaid this will boost the enemymorale and make the GIs left tofight anxiously look for support.

"Politically, we are losing thewar in this country," FatherLiteky told the Rotarians.

Dr. Schiotz added that, al­though the Pope had said thetime was not yet ripe for Cath­olic member~hip in the WCC, thePope seemed not to be closingthe door forever on that possi­bility.

Earlier, a WCC spokesmansaid the Pope's visit made clear"the fact that we are all part ofthe one ecumenical movement"and the Pope's "personal commit­ment" to that movement.

The spokesman noted thePope's reference to himself as thesuccessor of St. Peter, but alsoremarked upon the Pope's stressof his personal choice of the

Pope Notes ImportOf Youth Problems

VATICAN CITY (NC) - PopePaul is glad that the older gen­eration is waking up to that"problem of highest importance"which is today's youth.

The idealism and moral cour­age of many young people, hesaid, "makes us hope that theythemselves will open the wayand find those reasons of lifethat give direction to freedom."

He cautioned:"But there is need to lead the

young soul's center of gravityback to inner awareness, wherethe personality forms and ex­presses itself. It is there, oncethe equilibrium of the humanfaculties is restored that an en­counter with <Shrist, the interiormaster of life, will decide youthand give them happiness."

Former Coyle High Schooland Stonehill College athlet­ic standout, Gerry Cunniff,was recently appointed headbasketball coach at Bishop Fee­han High School.

The announcement was madeby newly appointed AthleticDirector Paul O'Boy.

Cunniff, who recently com­pleted his first season as headbaseball coach at Bishop Stang,succeeds Fred Bartek who willmove to Norton High in Septem­ber.

A -native of Taunton (343Berkley Street),. Cunniff came tothe North Dartmouth h.igh schoollast September where he suc­ceeded former diamond mentor,Gerry Hickey.

In addition to his baseballduties, Cunniff was an assistantfootball coach of the Spartanvarsity.

The Taunton native was athree-sport athlete during hisfour years at Coyle and laterwent on to gain fame as a bas­ketball and baseball standout atStonehill.

Absorbed in KillingIt was his first novel, The

Sun Also Rises (1926), whichestablished his reputation, andin it, as in the short stories,could be found the fulfillmentof his effort to achieve "the di­rect transcription of what hesaw." The "direct" part was inthe spare, sensuous style andthe "transcription" in his use ofpersonal experience and, ascharacters, of people of his ac­quaintance whom he did notbother to disguise.

He attained great fame, madelarger and larger amounts ofmoney from his books, the ser­ialization of his novels, thefilming of his fiction long andshort, and from reports hewrote of bullfighting and hisAfrican safaris.

His passion for blood sportsruns through the book, and thereis something revolting about theabsorption in killing which char­acterized his whole life. He wasfascinated by war, and this bookgives an account of his activitiesin Spain during the civil war ofthe 1930's and with the Amer­ican forces in England, France,and Germany during WorldWar It

Violence mesmerized him. Hewas" always challenging peopleto boxing bouts, and in these hestrove to 'inflict punishment andto prevail.

Anointed by ChaplainHemingway was terribly ac­

cident prone. Serious injuriessustained by him were frequent,and these, plus the ravages ofhis drinking, wrecked a strongconstitution. Just past 60, hewas a ghost of his former self,wracked by illness, unable towrite, and suffering delusionsof persecution. People who hadnot seen. him for som~ timewere shocked by his appearanceand behaviour.

After tWo confinements in theMayo Clinic, he managed to per­suade the authorities there torelease him. As soon as he gotto his home in Idaho he shothimself to death, on July 2, 1961.His father had committed sui­cide, and he himself had spokenof suicide for many years.

Was Hemingway ever a Cath­olic? After being wounded in1918, he was in a hospital wardwith Italian soldiers, and theirchaplain went through, anointingall who were seriously injured.Hemingway, apparently, wasanointed with the rest and there­after referred to this' as hisbaptism as a Catholic.

Nominal CatholicHis second wife was a Cath­

olic, their marriage (which last­ed 12 years) took place in aCatholic church, and he thenregarded himself as a nominalCatholic. He went sometimes toMass, and once at least he gaveup hard liquor for Lent.

The Spanish war, he said, end­ed his belief in an after-life, andthe alliance of Franco and theChurch turned him away fromsuch membership as he sup­posedly had.

In 1955 he called himself aCatholic of sorts. and the goldmedal signalizing his Nobel Prizehe gave to the shrine of Our

Baker's Biography ShowsHemingway Inconsistent

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

The first book by Ernest Hemingway was published44 years ago. Hemingway has been dead for eight years.As far as I can make out, all of his books save one arestill in print, not only in paperback but also in hardback.This is an extraordinaryrecord, evidence of the dura­bility of his work and of pop­lar interest in it. It indicatesthat there will be a sizable au­dience for Carlos Baker's biog·raphy, ErnestHemingway: ALife Story(Scribners, 597Fifth Ave., NewYork, N. Y.10017, $10).

This is awhopping vol­ume, with 564pages of' textand over 100pages of notes.It covers Hem­ingway's life, fromas microscopically as pos!!ible.Mr. Baker has refrained frominterpretation. He has restrictedhimself to the procuring of allavailable facts, and these he hasproceeded to weave into achronicle. His labors enable oneto know a very great deal aboutHemingway, but the knowledgeis largely of the surface sort.

Hemingway was born in 1899,in Oak Park, Illinois. His fatherwas a physician. The child wasbaptized in the CongregationalChurch; both his parents werereligious, an uncle was a medicalmissionary, and the whole familywere regular churchgoers.

Young Ernest was physiciallyrugg~dand ener.getic. He tookavidly to the hunting and fish­ing to which his father intro­duced him at their place in theMichigan woods. He was a dog­ged, if not outstanding, athlete.There was something of the bul­ly in' him from his early years.He was eager to excel, andboastful. .

His high school themes, drawnfrom his own experiences, show:ed exceptional writing ability.He rejected the idea of going tocollege, and got a job as re­porter for the Kansas City Star.At 18, he volunteered as anambulance driver for the RedCross and was sent to the Ital­ian front in World War I. Hewas badly wounded while bring­ing cigarettes to Italian soldiersin the trenches.

Direct TranscriptionHe spent months in a Milan

hospital where he met a nursewho was the prototype of Cath­erine Barkley in his novel, AFarewell to Arms. After return­ing home, he wept to Torontofor a reporter's job on the To­ronto Star. He then moved onto Chicago, where he met, andwas counselled and encouragedby, Sherwood Anderson, alreadya famous writer.

In 1921, he married HadleyRichardson, eight years his sen­ior. It was her money which en­abled the couple to go to livein Paris, where Hemingway pro­posed to devote himself to seri­ous writing, while turning outoccasional jOllrnalism.

In Paris he associated withGertrude Stein, Ezra Pound,James Joyce, Scott Fitzgerald,and other writers. He had def­inite ideas as to the kind ofwriting he wanted to do. Hiswork would be true and simple,in declarative sentences withoutornamentation, aimed at "thedirect transcription of what hesaw."
