Inaddition, people make gifts ofmoney to pay the expenses ofthe sick and of flowers to bebrought to the shrine at Lourdes.

The tremendous work of feed­ing and caring for so many peo­ple, many of Whom cannot domuch for themselves, is done byvolunteers. There are doctorsand trained nurses who super­vise; but the main burden isborne by volunteers, and theywork well and joyously.

White Trains got their namesfrom the numbers of white­gowned nuns and nurses whocare for the sick passengers.Hundreds of them traverse Italyeach year, bringing the sick andinfirm to their beloved shrines.What makes the July 30 trainspecial is that it carries the an­nual piJgrimage to Lourdes ofpriests, the infirm ones and theirwell brothers who care for them.They come mainly from Italy,but other countries are repre­sented, and a group comes eachyear from the United States.

en U. S. congregations of theSisters of Charity founded byBlessed Elizabeth Seton will pre­sent an offering to Pope Paul VIat her canoniz'ation ceremonySept. 14 to help "alleviate theneeds of the starving people ofthe world."

'Part of a general effort tokeep the celebration simple andto accent it as a spiritual expe­rience, the decision to present agift to the Pope was made byrepresentatives of the 7,500­member Federation of theDaughters of Mother Seton.

Contributions for the gift forthe Pope will come from the per­sonal savings of members of eachof the congregations and fromSisters of Charity conventsthroughout the country.

According to a proposed draftof the letter that will accompanythe gift, the decision by themel1lbers of the federation wasprompted by concern about theworld food crisis and by a desireto be "mindful of the charism ofSisters, of Charity to serve' thepoor" and the example of BlessedI"llizabeth Seton's "universa'icharity."

The federation also has en­couraged delegates who attendthe canonization ceremony inRome to do so in the "spirit ofpilgrimage" and has asked thatthe celebration of the historicevent reflect a balance between'"the desired simplicity and thedignity and joy of celebration."

Accordingly, the Sisters ofCharity of Cincinnati will sendtheir president, Sister Mary As­Sunta Stang as the only officialdelegate from among their 1,100members. Approximately 80other Sisters of the communityhave made their own arrange­ments to 'attend the canonization .ceremony.

"We wanted aU the Sisters togo who desired to and wereable," but to see it as a pilgrim­age rather than a tour, SisterStang said.

The' Pope emphasized: "Tolive, It ;is necessary to pray."But whom should we pray for,the Pope asked his listeners.

"We pray for those dear tous and have, rightly, the firstplace in our 10ve. We thusstrengthen these sacred bondsby prayer..

"We pray for our people sathat, overwhelmed by the wavesof history, they will not forgetthe call to faith, to the kingdom,to Uieir highest civil and Chris­tian destiny.

"We pray for our children sothat youth, in its search for thenew and the original, may knowhow to discover in the heredityof the past, things which remainalive and which are indispens­able for giving expression to anew generation based on truewisdom and the newness of thatwhich is good."

The Pope also said that Chris­tians must pray "for social jus­tice and for peace, which peopleare always ranting about and·which is still threatened today,so that they may become trulythe common duty and the inviol­able practice of civilization."

The Church should also bethe object of prayer, he added,so that "it may be united andholy and know how to carry tothe world its message of salva­tion."

Summer DangersOnce again the presence of Summer has an aspect

of horror and dismay as every pleasant and sunny week­end is followed by a tragic newspaper report of accidentsand deaths on the road and in the w~te.r.

It is all very well for those not immediately involvedto say that accidents will happen. But there is a humanelement invloved.

Every person driving an automobile must be especiallyaware that an accident can happen to him at any moment.Children, riders on bicycles, motor bikes-all must be ex­pected to do the unexpected at any moment.

Police report that in the majority of car accidentsthere is the element of either speed or liquor.

No one sets out to hurt himself or another. But amoment of carelessness, of taking a chance, of· drivingwhen he should not drive; and one can bring about anirreversible tragedy.

Water safety is another aspect of Summer that cannotbe disregarded. The multiplication of boats has broughtwith it the multiplication of dangers and added safety risks.

Summer is a wonderful time t6 enjoy all that naturehas' provided for wholesome and healthy recreation. Butthe first condition of enjoying it is to live - and to letothers live.

@rhe ANCHOR

Summer is a time when there are usually no organizedclasses in religion or religious education.

And yet-a great deal of teaching about religion isgoing on.

Youngsters are taking their cues from their parentsand from older people around them.

Attendance at Sunday Mass, the reception of the sacra­ments of Penance and Holy Communion,.daily prayer-allthese realities of religion are being placed in a scale ofvalues by parents and oldsters for youngsters to see andaccept as their own.

In a family where there is living religion-prayer andthe sacraments and then the daily living out of what thesestand for-then youngsters are relizing that religion isas much a part of daily life as eating and b~eathing.

In a family where there is a slackening of religiouspractice because it is Summer or because no Sister or CCDteacher is reminding youngsters of religion, then childrenare likewise learning a lesson about religion-that it is asometime thing, that its value declines at certain periodsof the year.

In either case, religion is being evaluated and placedin a hierarchy of values.

It is being stamped as vital and necessary or as merelyllseful at times and yielding to convenience.

A sobering thought for a Summer day.

Dressed in anopen-collar srurt, sweater andslacks, he looks more like aphysical education te:icl-ter freshout of an Ivy League school.

The young missionary askedthat his name and the countryhe is working in not be usedbecause he has been told by hisReligious superiors that anyfurther criticism of the localgovernment will probably bringexpulsion.

!Like a growing number of U.S.missionaries in Latin Americasince the mid-1960's this priest'scriticisms of -local pollicies haveled to a serious question.ing ofU. S. foreign policy. Among U. S.citizens living abroad, mission­aries as a group are among theseverest critics of U. S.. foreignpolky.

The critics though are a mi­nority of the U. S. missionaries.The remainder are either apolit­ical, favor over-all U. S. policyor are critical of only minc;>r as­pects, according to many ob­servers.

Donates Clothing~o Lebanese

NEW YORK ~NC) - Victimsof recent border clashes insouthern Lebanon will receive10 tons of clothing from Cath­olic ReHef Services (SRS), theoverseas aid agency of U. S.Catholics.

Valued at $32,500, the cloth.ing wiU be distributed throughthe Pontifical Mission for Pales­tine to thousands of refugees atthe Ein Helweh refugee camp onthe southern Lebanese border. Itis there that an estimated 300houses were destroyed by Is­raeli raids which Israel said wereprompted by Palestinian terror­ist attac~s on Israel.

Reports from the camp indi­cate that families have been liv­ing in open fields and are inneed of blankets, clothing, andcooking equipment.

To assist relief measures forthe refugees, Archbishop AlfredoBruniera, apostolic nuncio toLebanon, appealed to the Pontif­ical Mission for Palestine forhelp. CRS, in turn, supplied themission with clothing from itsemergency stores at the CRSwarehouse in Queens, N. Y.

The clothing was part of the15 million pounds donated byAmerican Catholics last year inthe annual Bishops' Thanksgiv­ing clothing collection.'

hard to instill in her pupils.She encouraged parents to

continue the cultural develop­ment of their children duringthe summer months by insistingthe kids read, engage in artisticexpression, and participate ineducational activities.

I'm sure every parent has heard a child complain,"There's nothing to do!" I used to hear it years ago. Butnow I almost never do. My oldest, now in college, complain­ed about having nothing to do during his summer vacationbetween first and secondgrades. That same summerone of his teachers told methat the vacation was detri­mental to the educational pro­cess. She felt that 10 weeks ofidleness undid all the goodlearning habits she worked so

Solved Both

So I solved both problems.The next time my young soncomplained he had nothing todo I had. him help me paint abathroom that needed redec­orating . It kept him busy, andI reasoned that painting was aform of artistic expression.

I don't know how beneficialthis was to his cultural develop­ment but it did improve the ap­pearance of the bathroom.

And apparently the "wisdomof the ages" has been passeddown from one child to another.lance overheard an older broth­er whispering to his youngersister, "Whatever you do, don'tever tell Mom you have nethingto do'"

Now I don't even wait for acomplaint. Whenever I see anunoccupied pair of hands, I findthem a job. Sometimes I'vemade a bunch of idle kids weedmy garden ... and' found outlater that some of them weren'teven mine. When you have eightkids, you confuse easily.

Getting a bunch of kid!> on thejob has certain advantages. Takescraping off old wallpaper. Ifthey work in size order, threekids can clean a wall most I effi­ciently. Efficiently, yes; peace­fully, no. The shortest kid getscovered with wet wallpaperdropped by taller ones.

Musical Bedrooms

'I've had kids as young as fouryears old help paint a room. It'sa mess. But it's the only waythey're going to learn. And be­sides, if they weren't making amess in the room being painted,they'd be making a mess someplace else.

We just finished some redec­orating. Almost, there was"nothing to do" for the rest ofthe summer. However, an edu­cational, fun-fi1Ied activity hascome up.

Well, commercialism was therein abundance but so too was thebeautiful coastline that had livedin my memory. If you love thcocean as I do and you venture upto Ogunquit, don't miss its Mu­seum of Art. The men and wom­en who planned this museum hadthe foresight and taste to build iton a cliff overlooking the raggedcliffs, and rugged rocks so cOOr·acteristic of this part of thecountry. Immediately upon en·tering the front door of this un­usual museum you see the ocean,for the bat:k wall of the buildingis glass and water and shorelineare ever-present parts of the en­vironment of the art on view.This edifice is truly a beautifulexample of a building in keeping:with its surroundings.

Maine is to be complimentedfor preserving so mucb of itsbeauty, while at the same timereaping the profits that .comewith the tourist trade.

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

This is the time of year when the faithful gardenerpersists and the Johnny-corne-lately fades into oblivion.There is no question that the early Spring and Summer thrillis gone and the garden takes on a tired look; cutting thelawn can be a hateful burdenand keeping the weeds downalmost an impossible fask.However, it is important topoint out that next year's bloomsare dependent upon work to becarried on in the garden now.

For one thing, I find it a goodtime to evaluate the garden andto start planning the shape of thegarden for the Fall. Soil shouldbe replenished now as we beginto transplant and set out newplantings. For instance, this isthe time of the year for s2ttingout new iris as well as dividin~

old clulllPs. Each lifting shouldbe done with a replacement ofsoil so that the new planting hasfresh soil on which to grow. Ifind this to be a good time forlifting those lilies which are notdoing ,as weil as they should inthe garden. These I lift and re­plant almost immediately in theirnew location.

I also rush the season a bitwith day lilies, which I find canbe moved at almost any time ofthe year as long as they aregiven a sufficient amount ofwater. These can be lifted, divid­ed and replanted almost imme­diately where I have determinedthat they will have the greatesteffect. -

A great many of the perennialshave now gone to seed and thesoil must be kept reasonably softso that -the seedlings can takehold for next year's crop: This istrue of foxglove, forget-me-nots,alyssum and other Spring flow­ers, whkh make their growth inthe hot summer months in prepa­ration for the following Spring.A "little discreet hoeing givesthem the opportunity to flourish.

Seedling lilies can be trans­planted now with little chant:e oftheir being lost if again they a-retransplanted immediately .andprotected from the hot sun. Ihave found that too much of apoint is made of transplantingonly in the Fall-when we arebusy with other things such ascleanup and new plantings. Agreat deal of time can be savedby moving the season up a bit aslong as the transplanting is donequickly and watering takes placeon a regular basis.

Anglican-Catholic AgreementOn Marriase Tea~hinss R~ported

LONDON (NC)-The Times of l'he report marks a third,London, quoting "Church sources though smaller, measure ofhere," says an Anglican-Roman agreement following the twoCatholic commission meeting in agreed statements drawn up byItaly has' reaohed virtual agree- the larger Anglkan-Roman Cath­ment on the doctrine of mar- oBc International Commissionriage. (ARdC). One was on the Eucha­

rist. 'in 1971, and the other onministry and ordination, in 1973.ARCIC is currently studyingwhat is seen as the fundamen­taly divisive question of author­ity in the Church and how itshould be exercised.

The commission of five mem­bers from each church was setup sev.en years ago to study thequestion of 'marriage. It heldits final meeting at Venice fromJune 23 to 27.

'J1he top authorities of theCatholic and Anglican churoheshave yet to give their approvalto publication of the commis­sion's final report, the news­paper said. It is understood torecord agreement not just on theindissolubility of marriage, butto indicate ways of solving di­vergent approaches of the twochurches to the problem of cop­ing with marriages that havebroken down.

The report is expected to haveimportant practical implicationsin the controversial field ofmixed marriages. It is under­stood to clear the way for theVatican to put mixed marriageswith Anglcans on the same foot­ing as mixed marriages with.members of Eastern Orthodoxchurches.

This would mean that a mar­riage contracted by a Catholicbefore an Anglican clergymanwithou t a dispensation from theCatholic bishop would still beregarded as illicit but no longeras invalid.

Later at a meeting on CapitalHill with congressional leaders,government officials and repre­sentatives of religious organiza­tions, he spoke of the PanamaCanal negotiations as "an issueof international justice." He alsostressed its importance for theStates with the developingfuture relationship of the Unitedworld. ,

The world wants to see if theUnited States can take a newlook at its relations with otherpeoples. There is a sign in Sec­retary Kissinger's talk of a newpolicy of consensus, meaningpeople should deCide together onmatters regardIng internationaljustice."

This is a key point in ongoingnegotiations for a treaty tosupersede the 1903 pact, nego­tiated by U. S. officials and aFrench entrepreneur PhilippeBunau-Varilla, who was tryingto save his investments in thecanal. The newJy independentPanamanians had little saying inthat treaty, and that is one oftheir complaints now.

Archbishop McGrath said that"rel-igion must deal with humanissues," and that "the Churchhas a vanguard role in educatingpeople to such issues of inter­national justice."

He praised the statement ofthe U. S. Catholic Conference'sadministrative board released inFebruary urging that the mainbenefits from the canal shouldaccrue to Panama, and that faircompensation be given theUnited States for its investment.

Bishop Crusades for RecognitionOf Ponama's Claims to Canal·

WASHINGTON (NC)-Recog­nition of the claims of Panamani­ans to the Panam.a Canal is es­sential to its operation and topeaceful U. S.-Panama relations,a,ccording to a Panamian arch­bishop.

In a round of talks and inter­views h€re, Archbishop MarcosG. McGra'th of Panama Citywarned that time is running outin the 10-year-long effort to givePanama control of the inter­ocean waterway.

He said he shared the concernof those negotiators and otherofficials that emotional slogansor ignorance of the facts amongAmericans might block promptpassage of the treaty in theSenate.

If this happens, he said. "therewill be serious consequences."

"There is a lack of informa­tion regarding Panama - andLatin America in general--evenamong the more educated s~­

tors of American society. The in­formation media generally showlittle understanding of LatinAmerican issues and problems,"Archbishop McGrath told an au­dience of reporters gathered at

No ShortageThe only way the Senator can

possibly reconcile this argumentwith his proposal to authorizethe recruitment of agriculturalworkers in Mexico is to assume

'that there is a shortage of suchworkers in his OW:l and otheragricultural States. The fact is,however, that there would beno such shortage of agriculturalworkers ,anywhere in the UnitedStates if the growers wer~willingto pay decent wages and providedecent working conditions fordomestic field workers. In fact,even where the growers arecurrently offering substandardwages and working conditionS'­as, for example, in Florida­there is an enormous oversupplyof agricultural labor.

out-in fact it isn't even men­tioned-in his statement of pur­pose quoted above. Whlle thebill purports , in this statementof purpose, to be concerned withthe problem of illegal aliens, Iam afraid that's only window­dressing.

The real purpose of S. 1928 isto provide the growers of Ore­gon and other agricultural states(but Oregon principally) with aguaranteed labor force. The billwould achieve this purpose byexempting certain agriculturalworkers and authorizing the At­torney General of the UnitedStates "to permit the temporaryadmission of nonimmigrant aliensin sufficient numbers to satisfythe agricultural labor require­ments of any employers.approvedby a State agency designated bythe Governor of such State."

That sounds rather technical,but you don't have to be a Phil­adelphia lawyer to know whatit means. It means, in summary,that having failed in his effortsto legalize the use of childlabor on Oregon's farms, Sen.Packwood is now trying to ac­commodate the growers of thatState by authorizing them,whenever the Governor of theState certifies that there is ashortage of agricultural lahar, torecruit workers in Mexico forstated periods of time.

No Guarantees

Sen. Packwood's proposal isfar worse than. the old Braceroprogram (1954-1964) which le­galized the massive importationof braceros (farm hands) undera bilateral contract or treatybetween the Government ofMexico and the Government ofthe United States. But as it was,the Bracero program at leastguaranteed the imported Me?,­ican workers certain minimumstandards in terms of wages,working conditions, housing, in­surance; etc. Packwood's bHlprovides no guarantees of anykind. In fact, it places absolute­ly no restrictions or conditionson the growers other than thetechnical requirement that they'"assist in defraying the expenseof administering the programand post a bond "to insure theprompt' departure of ... non­immigrant aliens ... at the expi­ration of the time such nonimmi­grant aliens are authorized tobe employed." In plain Englishthat means: After the harvesthas been completed, the nonim­migrant aliens will no longerbe needed-until, of course, thenext harvest comes around.

The irony of this back-door,attempt. to get around the na­tion's immigration laws is thatit directly contradicts the argu­ments used by Sen. Packwood torationalize cracking down on il­legal aliens employed in indus­tries .other than agriculture. InSection 2 of his bill, Packwoodargues that there are many iIIe­ga-ls employed in this countryat a time when our unemploy­ment rate is the highest sincethe Depression and then coo-

growers in one particular sec­tion of the otherwise progres­sive State of Oregon. That wasbad enough, but, to make mat­ters worse, we specifically crit­icized Oregon's two U. S. Sen­ators-Packwood and Hatfield­for fronting for these growers int he Congress.

The negative reaction to thatcolumn by at least one Oregon­ian was so forceful that we de­rided. for the sake of keepingthe peace, never again to crit­icize his native state or eitherof its Senators.

Unfortunately, however, Sen.Packwood has left us with noalternative but to go back onthat decision. On June 12 theSenator introduced, in his ownname, a related bill (5. 1928)which, in some respects, is evenworse than the one that wasvoted down in April. The statedpurpose of Packwood's bill isto prohibit the employment inthe United States of aliens whoare in this country unlawfully·or, if here lawfully are not en­titled to employment. More pre­cisely, its purpose, as outlinedin Sec. 2 (5) (b) is "to enlist theaid of Federal agencies con­cemt'd with employment andimmigration and to solicit thesupport or employers towardlocation and removal from em­ployment of those persons ille­gally employed and to checkfuture employees prior to em­ployment . so as to ascertaintheir legal right thereto."

Window-DressingThis being translated means

that if S. 1928 were to be en­acted by the Congress, severalmillion aliens would be thrownout of work and left to fend forthemselves. The bHl doesn't saywhat should or would happen tothem after that but presumably,having been ferreted out as iIIe­gals, they would· be expelledfrom the country in due time.

While recognizing the serious­ness of the illegal alien problemand the need to bring it undercontrol, I am strongly opposedto Sen. PackWOOd's bill and willtestify against it, in the name ofthe U. S. Catholic Conference,if invited to do so by the appro­priate Senate Committee. Forpresent purposes, however, that'sbeside the point. The real pointof Packwood's bill is not spelled

Several weeks ago the Labor Committee of the U.S.House of Representatives voted down a bill which wouldhave made it legal for children, ages fi~e to 12, to do fieldharvest work by hand ih areas authorized by the Secretaryof Labor, as long as theyworked outside school hours.On April 28 we stirred up afew feathers in the greatNorthwe::;t by reporting herethat this. reactionary bill wasintended primarily, if not exclu­sively to benefit a handful of

Young Visitors from Belfast on CapeDiscover Meaning of .Co-existence

fo'r ALL your Banking Needs

llwFir~~:~_~ 996-8241

By PAT McGOWAN

Last week an ll-year-oldIrish boy, one of 54 childrenfrom Belfast, North Irelal1d,who have been visiting CapeCod under auspices of Cape-Irish Children's Charity, attend­ed a large cookout with his hostfamily. He had a wonderful time.Halfway through the event hishostess said casualIy, "Some of

,these people are Protestants,you know."

"He couldn't believe it," shesaid afterwards. "He was hav­ing so much fun with these won­derfulkids - and they weren'tCatholics!"

Such ecumenical insights havecome so often during the pastsix weeks for the Irish young­sters, alI from strife-torn areasof Belfast, brought up to believe,depending on their own loyalty,that alI Protestants or alI Cath­olics are irredeemably evil.

Their stay on Cape Cod cameabout through the efforts ofRev. George Cobbett of St.Mark's Episcopal Church ,inBarnstable, who took his inspira­tion from a similar programcarried out last year in Minne­sota, where a farm communitywelcomed a group of Irishyoungsters.

"The children were chosen bytheir school principals in Bel­fast," said Father Cobbett, "onthe basis of how much theywould be likely to get out ofsuch a trip and also hopefulIywith the thought that amongthem might be some of tomor­row's leaders in Northern Ire­land who would be influencedtowards unity by this experi­ence of international felIowship."

The children themselves aren'tworrying about such theoreticalgoals, however. They've been

too busy having a good timewith 'their American friends. Ac­tivities of the six weeks have in­cluded a trip to a Red Sox gamein Boston, innumerable cookoutsand boat rides and trips to Nan­tucket and Martha's Vinewardwith their host families, madepossible by donated tickets fromsteamship campanies.

A highlight of the summerwas a visit to the Kennedy com­pound at Hyannis where planscalIed for the children and theirhost families to visit Sen. Ed­ward Kennedy's home for a brieftalk by the Senator, then pro­ceed to Mrs. Rose Kennedy'sresidence to see her dolI colIec­tion, then be her guests for a teaparty..

Along the way there havebeen the many smalI surprises ofadjusting to the life style ofanother country. Mrs. RichardFarley of Our Lady of Victorypari'sh in Centerville, for in­stance, reported that ll-year-oldMary McKeating, who hasshared the summer with her ownsix children, couldn't believe thevarieties of crackers and icecream available to her.

'IIn Belfast, she said, theyonly have Ritz crackers andvanilla ice cream," said Mrs.Farley.

Mary had no trouble decidingthat chocolate- chip was her fa­vorite American ice cream, butanother new food, watermelon,met a negative response.

"I don't like it," she declared.An accomplished singer and

Irish step dancer, the brown­eyed 1I-year-old, together withsome of the other Belfast chil­dren, repaid American hospital­ity by entertaining oldsters attwo Cape nursing homes. Shesaid her favorite song was "21Years," an Irish balIad. "They

always ask me to sing that."Another Cape visitor is 10­

year-old Bernadette Murray,guest of Mr. and Mrs. EdwardJ. Rutherford of St. FrancisXaVier parish, Hyannis.

"At first she was surprised athow much we use the car to goplaces," said Mrs. Rutherford."She was used to walking every­where. Then we took a trip toNantucket and did a lot of walk­ing, and she wanted the car.She'd alreadv got out of thewalking habiU" ....

"I've been available in casethe host families had any prob­lems," said Miss Watson, herselfthe guest of Mrs. Thomas Ken­nedy of Our Lady of Victoryparish, "but outside of a littlehomesickness at first and someadjustments to different foodsand learning to understandAmerican accents, there havebeen very few di~ficulties,"

She said that the early home­sickness seemed to 'be banishedwhen the visitors were reunitedat the Red Sox basebalI game."Seeing each other again andhearing what each. was doingseemed to make everyone settledown. I had no calIs about home­sickness after that."

Miss Watson said she and theother chaperones, Mrs. JeanStewart, who is staying in Hy­annis and Raymond Moore,quartered in Chatham, have been"overwhelmed with hospitality,"

"I shalI go away with veryhappy memories of Cape Cod,"she declared.

Asked about possible "re­entry problems" when the Irishchildren return to their homes,alI in deprived areas of Belfast,Miss Watson opined that theyare young enough "not to feeldissatisfied with their lot," Shecommented that she thought "itwould be different with teen­agers-they would be unhappyat the contrast." But she feelsthe American experience maygive the younger children "ambi­tion to aim higher in life,"

As welI as the Centerville andHyannis parishes, families fromSt. Pius X, South Yarmouth,Holy Trinity, West Harwich andHoly Redeemer, Chatham, areentertaning Irish children.

Evelyn Ames~ Travel BookHas Unusual Dimensions

Take First StepsTo BeatifyTom Dooley

ROME (NC)-First steps to­ward the beatification of the lateDr. Tom Dooley, famed for hismedical work in Laos and Cam­bodia during the 1950's are begin­ning in the United States, accord­ing 'to Father Angelo Mitri, pos­tulator of Saints' causes of theOblates of Mary Immaculateheer.

"Some bishops and certaingroups that knew and supportedDr. Dooley have sent letters ask­ing that his cause be introducedin Rome," said Father Mitri inan interview with NC News."This is a normal, preliminarystep in such cases. But it is nomore than that."

Asked about Dooley's connec­tion with the Oblates, FatherMitri explained that the Dooleyfamily came from St. Louiswhere they were long-timefriends of the community.

"When Dr. Dooley went toLaos," said Father Mitri, "heworked closely with our mission­aries. He was made an honorarymember of the Oblates, which isan exceptional honor."

Collects PetitionsOblate Father Maynard Kegler

has opened an office at King'sHouse in Buffalo, Minn., to col­lect petitions for Dooley's causeand forward them to Rome.

"The first thing," said FatherMitri, "is t() test these first ten­tative efforts to determine whe­ther there is sufficiently wide­spread interest to go any furtherin the process."

Dr. Dooley died at 34 in 1961.He wrote several best-sellingbooks about his experiences inSoutheast Asia, and the royaltiesfrom these supported MEDICO,an organization to provide medi­cal help to the underprivilegedin Southeast Asia.

MEDICO, subsequently re­named the Thomas A. DooleyFoundation, recently announcedthat it is moving its headquartersfrom San Francisco to Geneva,changing its name, and taking onan international board of direc­tors in order to continue its work,which has been hindered latelyby a rising tide of anti-American­ism in Southeast Asia.

ALBANY (NC) - Robert D.Stone, Education Counsel andDeputy Commissioner for LegalAffairs of the New York StateEducation Department, said thatthe recent U.S. Supreme Courtdecision overturning the Penn­sylvania school auxiliary serviceslaw "does not render invalid anyNew York State statute provid­ing for services to students whoattend nonpublic schooL"

Stone based his decision onthese facts:

-In the loaning of textbooks(which both New York andPennsylvania do) it affirmed thepermissibility. So there is nochange.

-In prohibiting the loan of in­structional materials, (whichNew York does not do), thereis no similar law in New York,hence no New York law is af­fected.

-In what might seem to bea similarity in New York's"health and welfare services" tothe Pennsylvania "auxiliary ser·vices" that were stopped by thedecision, the only types of ser­vices offered both in New Yorkand Pennsylvania are speech andhearing services and psychologi­cal services; but in all instancesthe court makes it clear -thatNew York's type of service ispermissible or says nothing.

this accounted for, she wonders,by Jung's theory of the colle~­

In any case, Mrs. Ames be­came convinced that the cui­lures which she 'observed inAsia represent one side of man'sheritagE', the one "which is con­templative and intuitive, intouch with the earth and withunseen powers; more concernedwith being than with doing."

The other side, represented bythe West, is almost exclusivelyrational, pragmatic, industrious,aggressive. We in the West havelost touch, Mrs. Ames believes,with realities, truths, virtueswhich are operative in Easterncultures. And this, will be ourruin, unless corrected.

She was .impressed by theomnipresence of religion in dailylife. "Going to Nepal," she says,"is to ,go to an exhilaratingmountain world: it is also topnter a world where religionis as vital as the air." Wlhen shewitnessed religious ceremonies,she wondered about the disap­pearance of ceremony from ourcommon life and the restrictionof the expression of religion "tothe interiors of a limited numberof buildings."

REV. PAUL F.I

PALMER, S.J.

When I was a child in Cath­olic grade school I was given ahand-sized box to fill with pen­nies. Sister said that the pennieswould be sent to the foreign mis­sions to save unwanted babies-particularly girl babies-whowould otherwise be exposed todeath and allowed to die. It was'called a "mite" box, a placewhere children r,ather than thewidow of the Gospels contrib­uted their mites.

I didn't understand at thetime why. our Catholic mission­ary priests, Brothers and Sisterswere interested in saving liveswhen they were supposed tosave souls, why they didn't sim­ply baptJize the babies, let themdie and go straight to heaven.

But I have learned since thatChristians have always beeninterested in human life in allstages of development, from thewomb to the tomb, as well asbeyond. This would expl'ain whyChristians were the first to openorphanages; to build hospitalsfor the poor, leprosariums torthe social outcasts, and homesfor the aged.

Sensitive to the PresentIsn't it strange that the Cath­

olic Church has been so vehe­mently criticized for the empha­sis that it places on the life tocome, when in fact it has taughtthe world to be sensitive and,concerned for life that is pres­ent? Anyone at all familiar withthe history of Western civiliza­tion, as contrasted with thepractices of those lands wherethe Gospel has not beenpreached, will recognize the'criticism as a gross caricature.

Love of God and love ofneighbor has been the greatcommandment of the' Jewish­Christian tradition, but Jesus

. made "love for one another" thetest of one's love of God, thehallmark by which the worldwould know that Christians areHis disciples.

This concern for the needs ofothers, including the primaryneed to live, is stressed in theearliest catechism that has comedown to us, the second centuryDidsche or Teaching of the Apos­tles. "The second cOjllmand­ment of the Teaching is: Youshall not commit murder ... Youshall not kill an unborn chilaor murder a new born infant"(Ch. 2). Distinguishing beJweenthe Way of Life and the Wayof Death the catechumen underinstruction was warned that"killers of children" walk theway of death (Ch. 5).

Fall of RomeIn the most eloquent apologia

or defense of the Christian reli­gion, the unknown author of the

IIentire diocese suffer the wrathof both -those who wish to staybehind and those who wish torun ahead. Too fast for some,too slow for others, that Bishoplikewise may be called a com­promiser, a wishy-washy person,a man without leadership abil­ities. Quite the contrary, hisreconciling ways can indicate hehas a unique talent for movingthe entire community ahead at asteady gradual pace.

LeadershipBishops who observe a laissez­

faire, "he rules best who rulesleast," disposed to overlook ap­.proach will win the support andadmiration of many. Others,however, will object to thisstyle and claim he fails to up­hold true 'values and lends tacitapproval to erroneous opinionsand activities.

I am not sure how to catego­rize Bishop Paul Donovan of therecently formed diocese of Kal­amazoo, Michigan. However, hecertainly has given an exampleof leadership in his manner ofmoving about the area, meetingconstantly with people and call­ing for shared resPClnsibility inthe pastoral decision process.

be ready, to sacrifice our lives,if necessary, rather th,ln to hi:willing to betray His trust bydoing wrong. But human life,precisely because it is life inGod's image, is a real good. Tohave our hearts and wills seton its destruction, thus, is to bewilling to dq something that iswrong.

We live in an age when mil­lions die of starvation and ex­ploitation, when other millionsperish in the ravages wroughtby war, when the mutilatedcorpses of many others bear elo­quent testimony to the tragicaftermath of automobile, train,and airplane disasters. We livetoo in an age where millions ofhuman fetuses are killed becausethey are unwanted. In the midstof all this death we are urged,and rightly so, to respect life.But why are we to respect life,and how does 'respect for life re­late to the subject of reconcil­iation?

Human Being PricelessAs Catholics we believe that

every human being is precious,priceless, a being of infinite andtranscendent value. We believethis because we believe that ahuman being is different in kindprecisely because he is the livingimage of God.

One of our more gifted andprolific Catholic writers in theUnited States, over the pastmonths, frequently and bitterlydecried the lack of leadershipgiven at the present time by theAmerican Bishops.

This critic, however, has notso often or so clearly delineatedthe meaning of true leadershipor the type of leaders desired.That remains a more difficult,a more complex task.

Strong episcopal leaders areheroes and courageous prophetsto those who agree with theirviews; they are reactionaries andunenlightened dictators to thosewho oppose their decisions.

Bishop Maher of San Diego,for example, by refusing Com­munion to persons active in or­ganizations which endorse abor­tion has become an instant heroto -those in the right-to-lifemovement and a hated enemy tothose in the NOW organization.

The next day the relativelyyoung bishop preached at thethree Sunday Masses and sharedcoffee and doughnuts afterwardswith parishioners. The pastor es­timates he shook hands andgreeted 75 per cent of St. Cath­erine's people during these so­cial hours.

Bishop Donovan completed hisweekend at St. Catherine's bylunching with the parish coun·cil members and their spouses,sitting 'through the regularmeeting as an observer and thenvisIting informally with them atthe session's terminatiqn.

Leadership entails more thanshaking hands and greeting peo­ple. But a bishop who movesaround, observes carefUlly and

Attitude. of Reconciliation

No one of us would have anynotion whatsoever of himself asa self had it not been for thehelp given him by other humanbeings. Not one of us lifts him­self up to the level of personalexistence by his own bootstraps,as it were. There must be a bootto which our straps can be at­'tached, and that boot is the hu­man community, a communitythat first of all lets us to be and'enables us to be ourselves.

Ursulines.The French Ursulines were al­

ready conducting schools in theDiocese of Louisiana when thatarea became part of the UnitedStates. After Father Dubourg be­came bishop of Louisiana hebrought numerous priests andSisters from France, includingMother Philippine Duchesne,who beg!!n many schools alongthe Mississippi. For financialsupport, Bishop Dubourg was .in­strumental in the founding ofthe Society for the Propagationof the FAITH IN France, an or­ga-nization of laypersons thatgave unstintingly to the Amer­ican Church for the rest of the19th century.

Bishop of the WildernessThe Church in Kentucky was

virtually synonymous with thename of Bishop Benedict Flaget,perhaps the greatest gift Franceever gave to the Church in theUnited States. This "Bishop ofthe Wilderness" for 40 yearsserved in humility, virtue, andincredible vijor, beloved both athome and abroad. No otherbishop or jurisdiction in Americawas followed with such interestin France. In his fatherlandBishop Flaget became the "leg­endary Bishop of Kentucky"whose periodic visits to Seek re­cruits and money were triumphaljourneys. As a result of one tripto France in 1837, contributionsto his diocese were increased bya million francs.

The predominance of Frenchinfl"e"lcp' w"nwl a~ o:;uccep.rlingwaves of Irish and German im­migration reached Americanshores. But the United States re­mains to this day the beneficiaryof the French clergy and laity.

Their sound theology, intellec­tual elan, devotion to Americanpolitical principles, cultivationof literature and the arts, andpromotion of an understandingof Catholcism aIl10ng Protes­tants-all left an indelible stampon the Church in this country.

when Boston's new Church ofthe Holy Cross was undertaken,some 140 Protestants' names,headed by that of PresidentJohn' Adams, appeared on thesubscription list of contributors.It is not surprising that 'whennew dioceses were created in1808, 80ston was among themand Father Cheverus became itsfirst bishop. When he was re­called to France in 1823, manyprominent Bostonian Protestantspetitioned King Louis XVIII tolet him stay, caIling the Catholicbishop "a treasure ... we cannotpart with."

In the Northwest Territory andthe. frontier' regions spreadingout from Kentucky and Louisi­ana the French were equaIly im­portant. Father Michael Leva­doux, who came with the firstSulpicians in 1791, did much towean the French in the North­west Territory away from theirformer allegiance to Canada anddirect it to the new Republic.Father Gabriel Richard, who fledFrance a year after FatherLevadoux, not only foundedcenters of learning in the Detroitarea, introducing the first print­ing press and giving Michiganits first printed book; he alsobecame the first priest to sit inthe U. S. Congress as the terri­torial delegate from Michigan in1824.

and Passamaquoddy tribes inMaine, also benefited from theFrench-American alliance. TheseIndian_s went to Boston after theDeclaration of Independence. torequest that the new nation se­cure a Catholic priest to' servethem. A French Augustinian,Father Hyacinthe de la Motta,became the first in a successionof French clergy who nourishedt.he religious faith and politicalloyalty of the Indians there;both during and after the war.

French Canadian AidFrench Canadians contributed

to the success of American armsin the Northwest. For example,Father Pierre Gibault, a nativeof Montreal who was serving inIllinois, came to be called "The

. Patriot Prii'st." Through his in­fluence over the French peopleliving in Illinois Father Gibaultenabled George Rogers Clark tohring the Northwest Territoryunder American control. FatherGibault's flock f\:lrnished suppliesto the American military forces,and the priest even enlisted acompany to aid in the recaptureof Vincennes from the British.This led to the permanent acqui­sition' of the territory by theUnited States at the peace set-

. tlement in 178.1.It was in the postwar era,

however, that French influencebecame a major factor in the de­velopment of American Cathol­icism. When Bishop John. Car­roll, the first bishop of Balti­more, decided to begin a sem·inary for the training of priestshe turned to France for assis­tance. The first band of FrenchSulpicians embarked from St.Ma \0 in 1791. The story of theirtrip is preserved in the "Voyageen Amerique" by Chateaubriand,who accompanied them. Thus,during President Washington'sfirst administration, ?t. Mary'sSeminary in Baltimore becamethl' first U. S. seminary.

SulpiciansThis first nucleus of French

education soon produced other. benefits. In Baltimore itself

French Sulpician Father WilliamDubourg began a eollege forCatholic laymen. In Emmitsburg,Md., Father Dubourg helpedFather (later Bishop) John Du­bois found Mt. St. Mary's, whichcame to be known as "TheCradle of Bishops" for its manygraduates who eventually reach­ed episcopal rank. It was theFrench Sulpicians, too, who di­rected Blessed Elizabeth Seton,to be canonized in September,toward educating young women,first in Baltimore and later inEmmitsburg. The names ofFrench-American priests andbishops-Dubourg, Dubois, JohnBaptist David, Simon-GabrielBrute, Benedict Flaget-are areirrevocably linked with the workof this first native oaint of theUnited States.

Death or Life

The abortion fall-out is rapid­ly engulfing the world. But anequally ominous cloud is on thehorizon. The children who hlVcsurvived the present fall-outwill inherit the anti-life mental­ity of their elders. The unwantedwill no longer be just babies, butthe mentally retarded, the phys­ically handicapped, the incur~

ably sick, irrespective of age.But the callous disregard forhuman life will be turned prin­cipally against the aged who willbecome an increasing burden tothe family and society.

A nation that has come to le­galize the killing of the un­wanted in the sanctuary of thewomb will be less hesitant tolegalize killing of the unwantedeven in the sanctuary of thehome.

And yet there is reason forhope. The Way of Death was~ffectivelYj challenged' by theWay of Life in our Christianpast. It can and must be chal­lenged with the same vigilanceand vigor by Christians today.

ty or cruel lust comes to this,that they even procure poisonsto induce sterility; and if thesedo not work they extinguish ordestroy the fetus in some fash­ion in the womb, preferring thattheir offspring die before it lives,or if it is already alive in thewomb, to kill it before it isborn. Assuredly, if both husbandand wife are like this ... I dareto say that the wife is in somerespects the harlot of her hus­band and he the adulterer of hisown wife" ("On Marriage andConcupiscence," 1,15,17),

Some would write off thewarning of Augustine as an ex­ample of the Catholic Church'spessimism in matters of sex.But they miss the point. Augus­tine and the Church for whichhe speaks art' more concernedwith respect for life than for thevirtue of continence, eventhough it is often "cruel lust"which leads to -the killing of theunborn and the murder of thenewly born.

Children are no longer askedto give their Lenten pennies tosave unwanted babies. Rarelyare the unwanted babies given thechance to live and to be wanted.They are aborted, at home aswell as abroad. The UnitedStates is fast rivaling Japan inits claim to infamy 3S the "abor­tion paradise."
