In a proposal, draft no. 370,presented to the Committee onEducation by Kevin B. Harring­ton, Senator of the Second Es­sex District,' the Commonwealthwas apprised of the need forsuch aid and the manner inwhich the State could help.

The reasons for help at thistime were enumerated by theSenator:

"Whereas the general courthereby determines. and declaresthat a time of acute public exi­gency and distress now exists inthe commonwealth with respectto educating its children, due tothe combination of an extremeincrease in the cost of educa­tion and an intense new recogni­tion of the need of all youngcitizens for excellence in educa­tion;

If Father Grimley had re­quested a dispensation from hisvows in the Dominicap. order tobecome laicized, he would havebeen able to leave the order andcontinue receiving the sacra­ments, Father Daly said.

Father Grimley's petition forrelease from his vows is now aformality. Father Daley saidFather Grimley submitted it byphone to the Dominican provin­cial in New York following hisannouncement to the universityof his resi~nation as chaplain.

Special Lenten services will beheld at the La Salette Shrine inAttleboro beginning at 7:30 Mon­day through Saturday evening,Feb. 21.

The purpose of the servicesis to provide people with an oc­casion to highlight the Lentenseason and to up-date and re­new what was formerly calledthe parish mission.

"Many people," said FatherGeorge Morin, M.S., "miss theparish. mission when a mission­ary .priest would come in for aweek to challenge people to. anew faith-vitality; We 'hope thatour week of special services andsermons will an~wer the needsof those looking for somethingspecial during Lent."

Father Morin went on to saythat "we hope to underscore thevery heart of Christianity, theMystery of Jesus, the Call to dis­cipleship and the meaning of thedeath and resurrection of Christ.But .we do want to do this inthe light of La Salette.

"In the past few years, wemay have been overly embarrass­ed to speak about an Apparition.But La Salette docs mean a greatdeal to us here at the Shrine.

SampleA sample of the New Amer­

"Christ will be exalted throughme, whether I live or die. For,to me, "life" means Christ;hence dying is so much gain. If,on the other hand, I am to goon living in the flesh, that meansproductive toil for me-and I donot know which to prefer. I amstrongly attracted by both: I longto be freed from this life andto be with Christ, for that isthe far better thing; yet it ismore urgent that I remain alivefor your sakes. Conduct your­selves, then, in a way worthy ofthe gospel of Christ."

WASHINGTAON (NC)-Con­temporary college students are"physically and intellectuallymore mature than those of a.generation ago" and are "firedwith a moral sensitivity unparal­leled since the age of campuscrusades for social and' religiousreform at the turn of the cen­tury,'" according to the first an­nual repQrt of the Campus Min­istries Department of the Centerfor Applied Research in theApostolate (CARA).

The report warns, however,that "a good number" of those'students regard traditional reli­gion as "irrelevant."

Furthermore, for the first timein history, it states, each year"fewer graduates register asmemb.ers of parishes or congre­gations in the communitieswhere they have decided tolive."

A recent address by CoadjutorArchbishop Leo C. Byrne of St.Paul and Minneapolis, a CARA .board member, underlines thischallenge facing the Church inhigher education today.

The report quotes ArchbishopByrne as saying that tpe modernuniversity has "already sup­planted the traditional church as .

ROME (NC)-British Memberof Parliament Woodrow Wyattwas "talking through his hat"when he accused Catholic mis­sioners of spreading pro-Biafrapropaganda, according to one ofthe missioners.

"You can't call that propa­ganda. You can't call that po­litical. Whoever this WoodrowWyatt is, he's talking throughhis hat."

In the House of Commons La­boritt! Wyatt attacked Catholicmissioners and Catholics in keyposts in the British mass mediafor allegedly slanting Nigeriannews in favor of Biafra.

He claimed also that the Brit­ish mass media had shown apro-Biafra bias and that one ofthe main causes for this werethe Catholic missionaries inBiafra who had been going aboutputting out propaganda.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Twenty-five years of scholarlyecumenical' cooperation will reach a climax on March22 when the newly approved Lectionary of Scripture read­ings and Psalm Responsaries is introduced into the SacredLiturgy of the Mass. TheAmerican Version, as it isto be called, has been trans­lated from the original lan­guages by American biblicalscholars, Catholic and Protes­tant, all members of the Catho­lic Biblical Association of Amer­ica.

"A great majority of the faith­ful will be hearing the word ofGod in a fresh, meaningful, dig­nified, and thoroughly intelli­gible vernacular translation inthe language of today, said Fa­ther Stephen Hartdegen, O.F.M.,of the United States CatholicConference Division of ReligiousEducation (CCD).

FirstFather Hartdegen told NC

News Service that the NewAmerican Version will soon bepublished in its entirety besidesits use in the new Lectionary.He described the work as "thefirst translation in the UnitedStates of the entire CatholicBible made directly from theoriginal languages into English."

Father Hartdegen noted theNew Testament portion is not re­lated to and should not be con­fused with the readings of theRoman Missal in use since 1964,nor with the revision of theRheims - Challoner revision fromthe Vulgate in 1941.

"The new text reads beauti­fully, and carefully avoids thesnags to which objection wasmade in the 1964 Lectionarydue, understandably, to thehaste with which the text wasordered to be prepared for theliturgical changes of that time,"Father Hartdegen continued. He

In 1946, Shelley was the streeturchin on the first coast-to-coastbroadcast of Puccini's master­piece by Arturo Toscanini andthe NBC symphony orchestra.The former New Yorker, nowliving in this Michigan commu­nity, has turned to strumming inthe sanctuary, to helping theChristian community's "voicesring out!" as the Vatican Councilcalled for.

In October, 1967, Shelley ac­cepted a job of teaching Mass-

. songs to the Confraternity ofChristian Doctrine at St. Josephparish in a mission-like annexhere. His first song, "It's in ourHands," was well accepted bythe young people.

Seminary FiguresOn Voc.ationsCan Mislea.d

ST. PETERSBURG (NC)- A seminary rector' saidhere statistics designed toshow a shortage in vocationstG the. priesthood can be mis­leading.

Msgr. Thoma~ P. Campbell,rector of ·the Pontifical CollegeJosephinum, Worthington, Ohio,told a meeting of the seminary'salumni here.

"The key statistic, as far asvocations are concerned, is thenumber of men ordained to thepriesthood each year.. In 1969there were 168 more priests or­dained than in 1968, so the de­cline in vocations figure can bevery alarming, but also very mis­leading."

. Up and DownMsgr. Campbell said that from

1956 to 1966, vocations to thepriesthood in this' c0!1ntry dou­bled. Then, from 1966 to 1969."there was a 20 per cen't drop,"he added.

"The big decrease was in hi~h

school seminarians' where onlyone in 16 or 17 eventually areordained to the priesthood," hesaid.

Chief reason for the drop inhigh school seminarians was theclosing of many high schoolseminaries, he noted, citing asexamples the closin~ of the highschool seminaries of the Joseph­inurn and of St. Gregory Semi­nary in Cincinnati.

"'This automatically meant500 less seminarians. When weconsider the great number ofhigh .school seminaries that areno longer in existence, we canappreciate why there is a 20per cent drop in vocations," themonsignor said.

RecordMsgr. Campbell said there are

221 enrolled in college work andtheology at the Pont.ifical Col­le~e Josephinum.

"This is a record for our 80­year history. We had never had200 before.· Every room in col­lege and theolo~y is now oc­cupied. The nice thing about thisfigure is that the bulle of theenrollment is in first year col­lege and first year theology. Wehave 51 first year collegians and34 first year theologians. Thisgives us great hope for the fu­ture," he declared.

He said the drop-out rate atJosephinum last year was 13'per cent, including studentstransferring to another seminaryand leaves of absence. He said:"This was a record low.".

NEW YORK (NC)-The headof the Greek Orthodox churchin North and South America un­derscored that the fundamentalcharacteristics of Orthodoxy" asa religion of reconciliation," arc"true piety and Christian peace­seeking."

The message of Archbishoplakovis was read from the pul­pits of all Greek Orthodoxchurches, emphasizing that whilethe Week of Prayer for Chris­tian Unity is observed Jan. 18to 2~i, "every day and everyweek of our 'ecclesiastical calen­dar constitutes a prayer 'for thestabliity of the holy churchesof God and for tine union of all....

Th,~ archbishop's letter statedin part:

"Chrisitan union is a subjectwholly and deeply rooted in theOrthodox conscience. It is a sub­ject that requires a meditatedand wholeheartedly approvedanalysis and dissemination of theOrthodox Faith on it. It is asubject of inner unity and agree­ment of faith, conscience, andlife. It is a subject aimed atreconciliation and as such is inneed of devotion and service onour part.

"It requires knowledege anddeep understanding of our Or­thodoxy, a system of belief andpractice' much greater in essenceand significance than merewords, insults, accusations, andanti-Christian anathemas. Allthese abuses are characteristicof people wrongly believing, notof people correctly believing, asthe term Orthodox signifies forthe true member of our Church."

To say that we haveno illusions about the possibilityof peace being declared becauseof our actions, is not to say thatour actions are vain attempts toreach the President of the UnitedStates and illtcit from him a pos­itive response for peace.

'Moral Imperative'"We will fast because we do

want that response from thechief executive. But we will fastfirst and primarily because thatis what we believe Our Lordwould have us do during thesedays."

Groups from across the nationhave been invited to participate,wi.th each person being asked tomake a commitment to fast for24, hours or longer.

The statement said that "whileit is debatable whether this ac­tion will produce a new worldwithout war, it is neverthelesstrue that it has the potential ofproducing new people who willwork harder for peace.

"We fast because we feelthere is a moral imperative atthis time to do so. We fast be­Clwse we must."

She has' dedicated her life tothe service of God and in sodoing, has helped countlessyoung people.

She radiates love of God tothe children who come undec herguiding hand for "there isnothing so important today asthe Catholic education of ouryouth.

"We do our best at St. John's,knowing God is looking over usand guiding us."

SISTER THERESA MARIE, R.S.M.

Sister of Mercy Is TowerSt. John Baptist Parish

Catholic Teachers' College inProvidence, did her thesis on'"The Delinquent Child."

"Actually, I don't believe therereally is a delinquent child," she

- said. "It's the parents who aredelinquent."

Sister Theresa Marie is spryand alert and looks amazinglywell for one in her 70's.

No Secret"I have no secret," she

smiled. "I just don't like to sitaround. I like to be doing some·thing all the time, like sewing,cooking or just plain housework.You might say I like to be on thego."

The Sister reads and likes towatch her favorite televisionprograms, like the LawrenceWelk Show, The Virginian andThe FBI.

"I like to watch The FBI Sun­day nights. It's so exciting."

Most evenings are full forSister Theresa Marie. There arepreparations to be made for thenext day's classes and, as shesays, "There isn't that muchtime unless you want to stay uplate. I like to go to bed early soI'll be ready for what the nextday brings."

She likes to travel and oftengoes to Claremont, N.H. to visither brother John and his wife.

Sister Theresa Marie, in· herquiet, unassuming way, says shedoesn't mind the changes thathave taken place in the Churchand with or.ders like her ownSisters of Mercy.

"I can adjust to thesechanges," she says. "I can't sayI like it better than before, but Ican change, too."

One of Sister's greatest joysis seeing men and women shehad in school making successesof themselves in late years.

"I'm so happy for them,"she reomarked, as her eyes lit up. "Andwhen they come back to renewold acquaintances it's a joy tosee them again and find they aredoing so well.

Golden JubilarwnOf Strength in

By EHen AndrewSt. John the Baptist in New Bedford is one of the Diocese's most impressive par­

ishes with its church, rectory and convent on County Street, and a modem elemen­tary school on nearby Orchard Street. Bu t one of its institutions, and a tower ofstrength in the parish is not a building, but a 72-year-old Sister of Mercy who re­cently celebrated her GoldenJubilee in religious life. Sis­ter Theresa Marie has beenteaching in the fourth, sixthand seventh grades at St. John's22 years, and formerly taught inFall River.

She celebrated her 50th anni­versary with a concelebratedMass at St. John the' BaptistChurch, followed by a receptionand buffet in the school hall.

"What a memorable day!" shesaid.

The Most Rev. James J. Ger­rard, V.G., auxiliary bishop ofthe Diocese of Fall River andpastor of St. Lawrence Church,attended. Rev. Manuel Ferreira,administrator of St. John' theBaptist Church, preached. SisterMary Eva, principal of theschool and co-ordinator of theconvent, was ,there with othernuns.

"A Mass such as this is al-. ways one of the 'highlights in.

one's life," Sister Theresa Mariecontinued. "What pleases meeven more is that I was able toshare my joy with the people ofthe parish.

"The people of St. John's doso much and do it so well. Itwas nice to have so many ofthem at the Mass and at the so­cial that followed.

"And that buffet at the hall!Such a spread of good food.Everyone seemed to have sucha good- time."

Among those would be a del­egation of cousins from Middle­boro, including Mr. and Mrs.John Scanlon, Mr. and' Mrs. JohnSouza and Mr. and Mrs. JohnMarshall.

Sister Theresa Marie, is onerespect, can't understand all thefuss over her whether it be theMass and reception in her honor,her picture in the daily news­paper or anyone wanting towrite a story about her.

"I'm sure you've got more im­portant things to do," she saysmodestly. "I don't know what Icould say or,what I've done overthe years that would warrantsuch attention.

"When you get all your notestogether, I'm sure you'll haveenough to fill about this muchspace," she remarked, holdingher th~mb and forefinger abouttwo inches apart.

More Important ThingsSister Theresa Marie's jubilee

actually was in June, but she"just never got around to doinganything about it. i had more,important things to do."

Finally, her Mother Provincial,Sister Mary Kieran at Manville,R. I., contacted her on it andthe wheels were set in motionfor "her day" as a jubilarian.

Sister Theresa Marie was bornin Lydonville, Vt., one of fivechildren of the late Mr. and Mrs.John Lamaire.

Her religious life began June27, 1919 at Mt. St. Mary in F~II

River. She was 21 years thereand served six years as super­visor and principal at St. Vin-cent's Home in Fall River.

Then, in 1948, this kind­hearted Sister of Mercy came toSt. John's, and has been thereever since.

"I like teaching at the gram­mar school level. I wouldn'twant to do anything else," shesays. ,

The institute is being con-'ducted cooperatively by severalcommunities. Some of its guide­lines have come from the XavierInstitute in Sydney, Australia,and the Mater Dei Institute inDublin, Ireland.

Stresses ValueOf ComputersIn Schools

POUGHKEEPSIE (NC) "­Father Raymond Lucker, di­rector of the department ofeducation, United StatesCatholic Conference, urged amarketing executive institutehere to help Catholic educatorsunderstand the possibilities ofcomputers.

To many of them, computers.used in their schools seem "toocomplicated, too expensive, toonew," he stated.

Computer systems arc in!,lica:live of a "whole new era" ineducation' and Catholic educa­tors are "wide open" to innova­tion and experimentation, FatherLucker said.

Major drawback of computers,is that "the initial outlay isvery expensive," Father Luckersaid, urging the executives tomake Cat~olic school administra­tors aware of the "time-sharing"program, whereby a school canpay for the time spent using acomputer, rather than buyingone.

Catholic SystemHe said Catholic schools could

use computers for educationalplanning, accounting, fund-rais­ing programs, class scheduling,and such projects as a "databank" of information on U. S.Catholic education which theNational Catholic EducationalAssociation has been gatheringfor the past year, under a Car­negie Foundation grant.

Father Lucker was one orseveral guest speakers to ad­dress the 300 executives at anadvanced education institute oncurrent educational develop­ments. His talk on "The Futureof Catholic Education" alsotouched on the organization ofthe Catholic school system andtrends that might indicate thedirection of Catholic schools inthe future.

Free to ExperimentHe explained that many ob­

servers tend to think Catholicschools are organized in thesame way. But the public schoolsystem is "more highly central­ized." The Catholic school sys­tem is "highly de-centralized," hesaid, "with a lot of local con­trol."

This "decentralization" is a'decided weakness financially insuch areas as purchasing power,but it offers "decided advantagesin curriculum development," he'said. Because there is "not asmuch red tape," Catholic edu­cators have been more free toexperiment with new concepts.

Father Lucker said there areapproximately 14,000 Catholicelementary and secondaryschools and 211,000 Catholicschool teachers. They serve al­most 5Y2 million students-fourmillion in grammar schools, onemillion in high schools, plus450,000 in Catholic colleges.

At arrival in the sanctuary,the priest and assistants makereverence to the Blessed Sacra­ment, the altar (kiss) and go di­rectly to the place from whichthe priest will preside. .

The priest will then greet th.eparticipants. The answer of thepeople is now simpler and mo~e

natural: "And also with you" in­stead of "And with your spirit."

A brief introduction to' theMass is given-:-the nature of thefeast, the particular occasion tocel,ebrate, etc.

There follows a brief peniten­tial rite during which the priestinvites ali to penance, an exam­ination of conscience and an ex­pression of contrition. This isdone by all together and notfirst by the priest and then bythe people as before.

The Kyrie, if it was not usedin the penitential rite, then isrecited with the people. simplyresponding to the invocation ofthe priest and no longer. the in­tricate threefold recitations. TheGloria, with slight. translationchanges and simplifications isthen sung or recited.

The priest then invites all topray (no greeting first) and aftera brief private pray'er, he recitesthe Collect for which he hasmany choices.

Liturgy of WordNormally, three readings will

form the Liturgy of the Word:one' from the "Prophets" (OldTestament), one from the ."Apos­tles" (New Testament) and fi-nally the Gospel. '

The first two readings, to bedelivered. by a lector, are always

, ended by "This is the Wurd ofthe Lord," to which all respond"Thanks be to God."

After the first reading, a can­tor or commentator will respond(with the people) with the Grad­ual psalm. Following the secondreading by the lector, the re­sponse will be that of the Alle­luia or Tract.

The priest will then recite theGospel. His preparation has beenshortened to "Almighty God,cleanse my heart and my lips thatI may worthily proclaim YourGospel." He ends the Gospelwith "This is the Gospel of theLord" and all respond. "Praiseto You, Lord Jesus Christ."

The homily follows and theannouncements are not to bemade at this time. The Creedwill sometimes follow (withsome translation changes) aswill the Prayer of the Faithful.

Liturgy of EucharistOffertory: The antiphon may

be omitted if not sung. It is rec­ommended that the gifts bebrought to the priest by mem­bersof the congregation.. The bread will be offered with

the prayer: "Blessed are You,Lord, God of all creation,Through Your. goodness we havethis bread to offer, which earthhas given and human hands havemade. It will become for us thebread of life." If the people arenot singing, they answer "Bless­ed be God forever."

The other prayers of the Offer­tory have been shortened butremain about the same. It is the

Emmett Carter of London, Ont.,has been named a member of theVatican Congregation for DivineWorship. Bishop Carter is presi­dent of the Canadian CatholicConference's office for liturgy,English section.

The CCUO director, the reso­lution said, "would not revealany information regarding Rev.Lezak's status other than he hadnot been confirmed."

Father Lezak, it added, "hadno opportunity to respond tomalicious and unwarrantedcharges." Singer concluded that"the entire process by whichmembers are appointed to theseadvisory councils is called intoquestion."

Mrs. Syler was unavailable forcomment. However, CCUO pub­lic relations agent Robert Jack­son said Mrs. Syler <tenied everhaving called anyone "an Amer­ican, a Communist, or a pinko."She refused further comment, hesaid. Mrs. Syler has been CCUOexecutive director for 10 months.

Asked why Father Lezak hasnot been cleared, when he mightbe, what the norms of clearanceare, and who does the clearing,Jackson answered, "No com­ment."

CHICAGO (NC)-The case ofFather Carl Lezak versus theChicago Committee on UrbanOpportunity (CCUO) has reachedthe Chicago City Council.

Father Lezak, 32, an assistantpastor at St, Sebastian Churchhere, has not been approved byCCUO ,as an advisory boardcommittee member for the Mont­rose Urban Progress Center eventhough he was elected to thepost 17 months ago.

Robert Lerner, Montrose ad­visory board chairman, told

Schedule ClosingOf Two Schools

ST. PAUL (NC) - Two highschools operated by the ChristianBrothers in the archdiocese ofSt. Paul and Minneapolis willclose at the end of the presentschool year, the archdiocesaneducation board announced.

Board chairman Jerome Juliussaid "further drastic steps"would 'be necessary withoutstate and federal financial aid.

The two schools to be closedare Benilde High School in St.Louis Park, which has an en­rollment of 830 boys, and HillHigh School in Maplewood,which enrolls 861 boys.

The Ghristian Brothers oper­ate two other boys' high schoolsin the archdiocese and admin­ister two coeducational highschools.

Prelate DeclaresSchools SourceOf Leadership

LOS ANGELES (NC)­The new Archbishop of LosAngeles went to the heart ofthe Mexican-American com­munity here and pledged to con­tinue spending money on Cath­olic schools because "they are asource of leadership."

The neighborhood was upsetseveral weeks ago by demonstra­tions of Mexican - Americangroups, protesting the spendingby the archdiocese of too muchmoney on church buildings, hos­pitals and other institutions, in­stead of channeling it to Mexi­can-American poor.

Archbishop Timothy Manning,in a sort of homecoming, wentto Bishop Mora Salesian HighSchool, which has a studentbody of 900 boys. He blessedthe schools's new gym, whichalso will serve the neighborhoodcommunity, and offered Mass.

Except for two years when hewas bishop of Fresno, the arch­bishop had come to the schooleach year since its founding in1958 on the feast of St. JohnBosco and celebrated Mass.

Center of UnityThe archbishop spoke particu­

larly of the relationship betweenthe community and its bishop inhis homily at the Mass.

"The one who holds the officeof bishop may be very fal1ible,"he said, "but in God's plan h eholds the center of unity. Any­one who fragments this, whodistorts this center of unity,fragments the body of Christ.

"Consequently," he continued,"in your life there must be a sen­sitivity to this center of unity ataH times."

In this sensitivity, he said, thebishop must be recognized as"the supreme teacher in thecommunity. He may not be thewisest or the most bril1iant, buthe is the center of the authenticteaching of the Church."

Priesthood FirstStudent body president Ray

Chavez, on behalf of the stu­dents, told the archbishop: "Wehope we shaH profit from oureducation. We know the workand sacrifice it takes to keep upthe school. We realize thatpeople from all over the diocesecontribute to keep this operationgoing." .

Archbishop Manning, respond­ing to Chavez's talk, said thatin d~signating priorities that hewould follow for the archdio­cese, he placed the priesthoodfirst and then education.

"I am asked why we spend somuch money on Catholic schools.My response is that they are asource of leadership," he de­clared.

Spread DoctrineTlI1rough Media

MILWAUKEE (NC)-An ad­visory communications commit­tee to help spread Christian doc­trine through modem communi­cations media has been namedby Archbishop William E. Cous­ins of Milwaukee.

Dr. John P. Treacy, professoremeritus of education at Mar­quette University here, is tem­porary chairman.

In announcing the committee,the archbishop commented: "TheApostles were told by Christ toteach His Doctrine to all nations.He did not suggest to them spe­cific ways or means, but left itto their own ingenuity to preacheffectively.

"I see this advisory committeeas an apostolic group of expertsrecognizing the task of theChurch to teach, bringing a lay­man's viewpoint to a better meet­ing of our responsibility."

A similar committee to advisein administrative and financialmatters was appointed by Arch­bishop Cousins a year agc.

The committee has already hadsome formative. meetings, ac­cording to Dr. Treacy, out ofwhich an objective has been out­lined: "To help people developan understanding and apprecia­tion of archdiocesan problems,policies and programs and toproject the true image of theCatholic Church."

Association ObjectsTo Parish Listing

CHICAGO (NC) - The coor­dinating board of the Associ­ation of Chlcgo Priests (ACP)has issued "a statement of con­cern" to its members and todaily newspapers here which re­cently printed a list of parishes"not recommended for assign­ments for young priests" drawnup by the Young Priests' Caucus(YPC).

The YPC, formed last Springbl~cause few young priests wereelected to ACP's board, drewup a list of all parishes in theChicago archdiocese, followinginvestigation by the YPC's 11­man grievance board.

The ACP's statement chargedthat the YPC "did not consulteither the pastors nor the associ­ates assigned to the parishes,and made some judgments onsecondary evidence."

APC' said the young priests'action, "publicized as it was inthe daily press, was a cause ofhurt and bewilderment to manyclergy, Religious and laity in theRoman Catholic Church, Suchan action was without precedentin the history of the archdio­cese."

without Partners'Adjusting to Solo

By lJ)oroth y Eastman

Thirty-three adults in the Attleboro area are getting a new lease on. life, thanksto an organization called "Parents Without Partners." The children of these widowed,divorced or separated parents are reaping benefits, too. The international, non-profit,non-sectarian organization is dedicated to the welfare and interests of single parentsand their children. Accord­ing to Mrs. Lillian Johnsonof Attleboro, president of thelocal chapter of P.W.P., andthe mother of four children, "P.W.P. is geared to help singleparents achieve happier familylives." The organizatio!l contendsthat since our society is based onthe traditional two-parent home,and is not equipped for, nor doesit understand, the special prob­lems faced by the millions whomust bring up their childrenalone, an organization such asthis is urgently needed.

Since all members themselveshave gone through and experi­enced the despair and discour­agement that accompany the lossof a mate, and the struggle tore-establish a new kind of life,they' can give, each other encour­agement and support.

The Attleboro chapter receivedits charter in November follow­ing a year of organizational ac­tivity. Members of its' advisoryboard are Rev. G. Wetzell, min­ister of the Murray UniversalistChurch; Atty. Max Volterra; Sis­ter Barbara McMichaels of Bish­op I='eehan High School; WilliamJ. Crowley, Jr. city councillor;Michael O'Connor of the Attle­boro Mental Health Clinic; andRev. Raymond Moquin M.S. ofLaSalette Shrine.

The purposes of the organi­iZation are basically educa~ional.

Accuses UniversityOf Retaliation

WASHINGTON (NC)-JosephE. Paull, an assistant professorat the Catholic University ofAmerica here, has filed a suit inU. S. District Court charging hewas denied entrance to a doc­toral program because he wasassociated with a 1967 strike atthe school.

He asked the court to findthat he was discriminatedagainst by school authorities andto direct the school to admit himto the program.

A CU spokesman said Paullwants to obtain a doctor's de­gree in the School of Social Ser­vice, of which he is a facultymember. it is against th~ policyof the university, as it is in mostinstitutions of higher. learning,.for faculty members to be stu­dents in the same school, thespokesman said.

CardinalDeardenUrges FolI«>,wingPath to Peace

DETROIT (NC) - JohnCardinal Dearden, caution­ing against the complacencywhich may result by termi­nation of the Nigeria-Biafra con­flict, emphasized' that the con­tinued Vietnam war, the MiddleEast crisis, violence and mount·ing tensions are problems whichstill must be solved.

The archbishop of Detroit,president of the National Confer­ence of Catholic Bishops, asserted"the expenditure of astronomicalsums for military purposes"must be limited.

The cardinal called for an un­derstanding of those who dem­onstrate against war and toolsof war; of those who have "se­lective conscientious 'objection"against war.

Excessive NationalismCardinal Dearden's .statement,

published by the Michigan Cath­olic, archdiocesan newspaper,was viewed as supporting prin­ciples against violence and pov­erty asserted byArchbishop Heid­er Pessoa Camara of Olinda andRecife, Brazil, during his visithere.

The cardinal recalled the anti­war views expressed by PopePaul VI before the United Na­tions in 1965 and in the col.:lective pastoral of the U.S. bish­ops in 1968.

"Certainly, the expenditure ofastronomical sums for militarypurposes must be limited. It can­not be justifiedmorally, politicallyor socially. Somehow, we mustmove away from a climate ofexcessive nationalism into onethat makes us open to a higherdegree of international collabora­tion for the benefit of all," 'thecardinal..said. "

, .. , Prayer, Work "." , ,""Our general concern for

peace has found an anguishedexpression in our present in­volvement in Vietnam. Withoutexception, we are all concernedto have peace restored as speed­ily as possible. And our stepsto disengage ourselves from thatwar must be constantly acceler­ated. The moral fiber of our na­tion has been weakened by thisconflict," he declared.

"One sign, however, is clear.As servants of the Prince ofPeace, we must detest war anddo everything that we can tobanish this evil from the earth.No follower of Christ can do less.

"We must actively try to pressfor' peace through prayer andwork. We must do all that wecan 'in positive and constructiveways to become the blessedwhom Christ so loved, thePeacemakers," he said.

Announces SupportFor Grape Boycott

SAN ANTONIO (NC) - Sup­port for the table grapc boycottbeing spearheaded by the UnitedFarm Workers Organizing Com­mittee headed by Cesar Chavezwas announced by the San An­tonio archdiocesan Commissionon Church and Society'.

At the same time, the San An­tonio Grape Boycott Committeecoordinated by Franklin Garcia,international representative ofthe Meat Cutters Union,. ex­pressed hope for "all-out supportfrom the churches" as it begins

, to extend the boycott to majorSan Antonio and South Texassupermarket chains.

The local boycott,' similar to,those called in several otherstates, has received pledges ofsupport from 500 persons whowere among the more than 1,000people who attended a rally inJanuary here which featuredChavez as the speaker.

At that time, ArchbishopFrancis J. Furey expressed hissupport for the cause of the farmworkers in their struggle to at­tain the right of collective bar­gaining.

be forthcoming," neverthelesswarned that the "ever-increasingsalaries required for highlytrained teachers," as well as"skyrocketing costs at everylevel of education," will necessi­tate help from either the federalor state government.

Choice of SchoolsHe said that' this financial

crisis is facing not only Catholicschools but schools staffed byother faiths such as Lutherans,Episcopalians and Je;ws.

Noting it is doubtful any helpcan be expected SOQn from thefederal government, he said thenext step is up to the state.

Archbishop Furey outlined thefight for state aid being con­ducted by the Conference andCitizens for, Educational Free­dom. The latter, he pointed out,"is a non-religious, non-partisangroup fighting for a fundamentalAmerican right-the right to afreedom of choice in education."Without private schools," 'hesaid, "there will be no choice,"

Fundamental RightFurther stressing the· impor­

tance' of non-public schools,' theArchbishop pointed out thatPope Leo XIII said "It is notenough to teach religion as asubject. Instead, it is necessaryfor every subject to be perme­ated with religion. '

"Do you want your children toknow about God and religion?"·he asked. "If you do, you willwant your child taught, alongreligious lines. We are fightingfor a fundamental Americanright. It will take work and sac­rifice on the part of everyone ofyou to accomplish our goals."

Appeals DecisionOn Replacement

SALTIMORE (NC) - The cityof Batimore appealed a decisionby the Superior ,Court of Balti­more, City that replacementcosts be paid to churches "con:demned for public purposes.

The ruling was handed downlast May in a case involving thecity and three "condemned" Bap­tist churches in the inner-city.Three other intervening defend­ants including the BaltimoreCatholic archdiocese 'were in­volved in that decision.

Thl) issue involves the finan­cial compensation of churcheswhr.n the city has reason to ac­quire the property on which thechurch structure exists.

Catholic School ClosingsMean Increasing Taxes

SAN ANTONIO (NC)-"Taxes will increase for everytaxpayer in Texas if our Catholic schools are forced toclose." This prediction of Archbishop Francis J.' Furey ofSan Antonio has been 'conveyed to lay leaders and moder­ators of the 23 organizationsaffiliated with the Archdi­ocesan Council of CatholicMen. .The Archbishop hasonnounced the beginning of thefirst p:lases of a "campaign ofer.lightenmeot and education bythe Texas Catholic Conferenceto help build support for legisla­tion which would make stateeducational assistance availableto private schools in Texas.

"We all know, we all admitthat in Texas, as in every otherstate, our private schools cannotgo on forever without some pub~lie assistance. We can go on fora number of years but we aregoing to come to the end of theline without state aid," theArchbishop declared.

"There are people," hc added""who don't realize what it wouldmean psychologically, morallyand spiritually if private schoolsare forced to close. "And one ofthe consequences of the end ofprivate education will be an in­creased burden on the publicsystem and an increased tax bur­den on Texas citizens of what­ever denomination, he stressed.

Basic Justice '"We've got ·to get thesc facts

across to the general public,sound out our potential andprospective legislators and findout in advance how they feelabout this issue," he asserted.

"We hope to get the aid andassistance ,of others besidesCatholics. The Presbyterians,Lutherans, Episcopalians, Jewsand others have a stake in this.

"We feel," thc'Archbishopcontinued, "that there :is a mat­ter of justice here-basic justicefor our children. And we havetoo much invested in blood,swcat and tears to ,let ourschools go down the drain."

,Assistance NecessaryThe Conference, composed of

the II Bishops of the state, willhave a lay representative in eachdiocese who can coordinate theschool aid drive in preparationfor the 1971 legislative session.

The importance of the newTexas Catholic Conference drivewas also emphasized by thearchbishop at a meeting of thearchdiocesan Federation of Cath­olic Parent-Teacher Clubs.' Heobserved that non-public schoolsare being besieged by mountingcosts at virtually every level andcannot survive without outsidefinancial support and added that,while the help is bound to come,it will require work and sacrificeon the part of citizens who be­licve in private education.

Proposes ChurchUl1lity Plan

LONDON (NC) - AuxiliaryBishop Christopher Butler, O.S.B.of Westminster proposed at aLondon unity service the idea ofa "g)'eat church" of the future in

'which a separate AnglicanChurch would be in communionwith Rome and acknowledge theprimacy of the Pope.

The Bishop, vicar general toJohn Cardinal Heenan and oneof the leading intellectuals in theEnglish church, said that undersuch a scheme the Anglicanscould retain their own bishops,liturgy and other traditions. Hesaid he did not consider the fieldof disagreement between the twochurches involved essentials.

Bishop Butler told reporterslater that papal primacy shouldnot present any greater diffi­culty to Anglicans in the futurethan the present formal statusof Queen Elizabeth as "SupremeGovernor" of the Church of Eng­land.

The bishop, himself a formerAnglican and now a member ofthe Joint Permanent Anglican­Roman Catholic Unity Commis­mission liere, said the proposalwas not new. It was made aslong ago as the Malines Con­versations in the 1920s whenEnglish Catholics and Anglicansheld unofficial talks at Malines,Belgium, on the question of re­union. "It is entirely orthodox,"he added.

Lenten Pa,storalContinued from Page One

Our Blessed Lord, echoed by St.John and St. Paul, summed upthe whole ,message of religionby insisting that we love Godfirst, and then our neighbor asourselves. "How can anyone sayhe loves God, Whom we do notsee, when he hates his neighborwhom he sees?" "Little childrenlove one another as I have lovedyou," such was Our Lord's lastmessage to the apostles.

"We are all stewards spend­ing God-given talents to makethe world better for our beingh<;re, and to enrich our souls sothat we may find ourselves athome in heaven.

"As we go into the Lentenseason, we know that it sharesin the mortification and Passionof Christ. There should be sacri­fice; otherwise we lack some­thing essential. And surely therehas to be prayer. Here is wherewe find ourselves at our best.

"Mind and heart and will turnin adoration and thanks to theGood God Who sent us a Re­deemer. We renew and share Hisoffering of Himself for us in holyMass. In every parish, OurLord on the altar is the first andchief parishioner. He wants us tojoin with Him in giving praiseand thanks to the Father. We ap­r-roach Him through 'Christ OurLord, Amen.' He is our media"tor. He lives to make interces­sion for us.

"As good Catholics, we believethis. But do we always act in thebelief? Is our prayer chiefly amatter of what we want? Is itprompted more by need than byFaith?

"Is there not such a thing asprayer of gratitude or ferventthanks for all that God has donefor us: health, home, happiness,and the undeserved summons toan eternity with the bll::ssed.Ev~ry day, w~, are, hlV(~ed ..tp'proclaim the mystery of Faith:and we reply: 'Christ has died,Christ is risen, Christ will comeagain.'

In the hope of a glorious Res­urrection. we live through Lent.If our Faith is faint, we prayGod to strengthen it. 'I believe,o God, help my unbelief.' 'Lordteach us to pray.' If weare stifled and discouraged ingood intent, we might well turnthinks around, and ask to bemade instruments of peace, re­placing hatred by love, injuryby pardon, seeking more to un­derstand than to be understood,more happy to give than to re­ceive.

"This is like providing an an­tidote to cure disease. And thereis sickness of soul in society to­day. Too much self-pity, toomuch escapism, too much con­cern for ourselves. In a spirit ofChristian confidence, let us castour cares on the Lord. He is asnear to us as our conscience. Itis a pity that we talk togetherso little. Talking to the Lord isprayer. May we have more of it,confident, constant, remember­ing that there are things reli­gious, social, and material thatonly we can do.

speaking to you from the Vati­can, as we do every year on thefirst day of Lent. During thisseason of self-denial and sacri­fice, We would remind you ofthe millions of boys and girls, inmany countries of the world,who are poor, hungry, sick,without a home or shelter.

We tell you of their sufferings,so that you will use your littlesacrifices during Lent to helpand comfort them, by giving ofvour self-denial to the AnnualOverseas Aid Fund of your bish­ops.

For m9re than 25 years, yourbishops have been sendingwholesome food: warm clothing,and good medicine, to millions ofneedy children. This wonderfulwork is done by Catholic ReliefServices, as the bishops' agen<;yabroad, in performing this im­portant task of the Church, inthe world of today.

So, if you support this annualappeal actively and generously,you are obeying Our Lord'steaching to love one another,and to help our brothers andsisters in their necessity.

You know that last year wevisited Africa. Our heart wentout to the boys and girls, withtheir fathers and mothers, whoare suffering especially because

Even more would have died,and pain and sorrow would be,much greater, if American Cath­olics like you and your parentshad not given generously foremergency aid.

In fact, your American bish­ops' agency, Catholic ReliefServices, has given more foodand medicine to the people ofNigeria, we think, than anyother organization. In the lasttwo years, it has sent more than$10 million worth of help to thatunhappy land.

BY LUKE SlIMS

Billy Walsh of New Bedford,th~ former Holy Family' HighSchool busketball ace, has madethe jump to college with no illeffect to his prowess on the'hardwood.

The ex-Parochial star, whomade everyone's All-Star teamin his senior year, is a memberof St. Anselm's freshman teamand is currently pouring in thepoints at the rate of 14 pergame.

Considered one of the "finestprospects the school has had ina long lime," by head CoachFrank Harlan, Walsh has beenin the starting lineup since re­covering from an ankle. sprainduring the first week of the sea­son,

"A healthy Bill Walsh couldmake the difi'erence," said lIar­lan, whose team has found thevictory trail somewhat elusive.The loss of their 6-10 center andWalsh's early season injury hadslowed the Manchester, N. H.quintet to the point where in itsfirst eight games, St.A. was 3-5.

.Four of thOSE;! setbacks, however,were by less than five points.

Harlan expects his chargersto improve over the seacond halfof the season and one of the rea- 'sons is Walsh.

League's Top Scorer

The son of Dr. and Mrs. PaulF. Walsh, 233 Arnold Street, isa 6-1 sharpshooter who canscore from any spot on the floor.

At Holy Family he was athree-year star for Coach JackNobrega's Blue Wave which cap­tured the Tech TournamentClass C title twice during thoseyears. He led the NarragansettLeague in scoring during his jun­ior and senior years, pouring in418 points for a 26.3 average inhis fourth season. He topped the1,000 career point total duringhis senior season.

Billy's greatest thrill was help­ing his team to the Class CTech title a year ago. His twofree throws with 10 seconds toplay gave the Blue Wave itsfirst lead of the night and the

IN THE DIOCESE

Down on Cape Cod, Harwichand Nauset are hooked-up in aneck-and-neck battle for theCape and Island League cham­pionship. Both, having lost fourgames in over-all play this Win­ter, are on the verge of beingeliminated from Class D compe­tition. If this happens, the victorwill gather the spoils, sinceleague champions automaticallyqualify for the Tech.

In addition to the seven Capeand Island' teams, only Nortonof the Tri-Valley Conference isamong Class D schools. How­ever, Norton has already beenmathematically eliminated fromthe tourney.

With the season rapidly com-

But, there may be more, Barn­stable and Dennis-Yarmouth,both of the Capeway Conference,have not yet mathematicallyqualified for the Tech but, in allprobability, will be in the Cbracket at the conclusion of theseason.

Entering this week's actionthe Red Raiders owned a 13-3record, and the Regionals sport­ed a 12-3 mark. Both should stayabove the 70 per cent markneeded for qualification.

Three Bristol County Leagueteams still have the opportunityto' qualify for the Class Abr.acket as that. loop enters itsfinal phase of the campaign.Durfee High of Fall River hasalready qualified.

The Hilltoppers surprised noone by qualifying, in fact, onewonders what a Tech tourneywould be without Durfee. ForTom Karam this Winter willmark his tenth consecutive tripto Boston with his Hilltoppers.·He has never coached a teamthat did not win the required· 70per cent. '

tied for league honors. CoachBob Gordon and his Case Cardi­nals have all but wrapped-up theNarry crown. Both contests be­tween the two went right downto the wire with Case edging theBlue Wave both times. The twolosses in one season, in Narryplay, were the first suffered byCoach Jack Nobrega since hetook over at the New Bedfordschool 10 years ago.

A third confrontation in tour­nament action should prove veryinteresting. But, the Narry clubswill have to defeat strong oppo­nents before that possibilityarises.

Possible Class C foes includeLawrence High of Falmouth andOliver Ames of Easton. The Clip­pers are headed for the CapewayConference championship OliverAmes in the tough HockomockLeague.

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS

Over the past 26 years, Durfeeteams have been among com­petitors 25 times. And moreoften than not, Durfee has beenone of the best in the eliminationcompetition.

At this writing, three GreaterNew Bedford teams in theCounty circuit are among Techhopefuls. With three games re­maining New Bedford High andBishop Stang of Dartmouth mustwin all to qualify. New BedfordVocational can lose one.

In past years, as many as fourof the eight Class A teams in thearea have qualified, but, thisyear indications are that onlyDurfee and Vocational will makethe grade. '

Coach Ray Charron's Capeclub has a two-game lead withthree remaining and would haveto suffer a complete let down,which seems unlikely, in order to"blow" the championship.

If the Clippers annex the title,it will be Lawrence High's thirdof the scholastic year. Falmouthcaptured the Capeway Confer­ence football title last Fall, thenwon the Winter track champion­ship.

The Oliver Ames Tigers h8.d. their sights set on the Hocko­

mock League championship be­fore the season began in theirdetermination to give theirCoach a title before he relin­quishes his basketball duties.Coach Val Muscato will get thatchampionship, and, now his boyshave their eyes peeled on another"go out" present - the regionalClass C tine.

With these four clubs alreadyassured of post-season action,area fans should have enough tocheer about when they maketheir annual trip to Boston Gar­den to partake in "March Mad­ness."

Two Ding-Dong Cape Battles

It's been a cold Winter, but plenty of "heat" willbe generated in area gymnasiums this coming week assix local teams stage do-or-die batttles for post-seasontournament bids. With one week of scheduled action re­maining, only five berths tothe annual Eastern Massa­chusetts schoolboy basket­ball tournament have been.

, secured by schools located with­in the confines of diocesan terri­torial limits.

However, Southeastern Massa­chusetts could possibly send atotal of 10 to the "Tech."

Most· high schools within thediocese are rated in the Class Ctournament bracket. Thus, thearea annually has a stronger rep­resentation in this particularclass. This year is no exception.

The Narragansett League willbe bidding for its third consecu­tive Class C title come Marchwhen its representatives willagain be Case High ofSwansea and Holy Family Highof New Bedford. A year ago, theParochials won the title and theyear before, Case.
