Bishop's Message

April 16, 1982

Dearly beloved in Christ, .

In this special edition, our Diocesan newspaper, The Anchor, happily celebrates its Silver Jubilee, marking tWl;!nty-five faithful years as an instrument for the instruction, formation and sanctification of the faithful of the Diocese of Fall River.

From the time when my predecessor as Ordinary, Bishop Connolly, was inspired to found a Diocesan newspaper a quarter of a century ago until this very edition, The Anchor has come into thousands upon thousands of households throughout our region, proclaiming the Gospel and serving as a cohesive bond of unity for readers from one end of the Diocese to the other.

Of late, our beloved Pope John Paul II has reaffirmed the extraordinary importance of the Cat40lic press in the mission of the Church. Addressing a group of bishops on January 4, 1982, the Sovereign Pontiff spoke of our conviction that everyone, redeemed and loved by the Lord, is called to truth. The Holy Father suggested that the role of Jhe Catholic press in reflecting the truth is -more -importaIlCtoday .than ever before, both for' the.· enlightenment of consciences and for the dispeiling of false interpretations and insinuations. The Pope identified the Catholic press as an instrumentality of the magisterium, serving "to bring about in the reader that development of judgment which bririgs him into liberating and saving truth." We take a measure of consolation in the knowledge that The Anchor has served so very well in fulfilling the Holy Father's ~raphic description of the task of the Catholic newspaper.

The title of our Diocesan weekly, The Anchor, is indicative of the intent and the expectations of all who are concerned with its publication. Symbol of the virtue of hope, an anchor stabilizes and secures a vessel, providing protection from the swirling currents and tides which could bring danger and harm. Here in southeastern Massachusetts, where our proximity to the sea .makes such a symbolic title all the more comprehensive and vivid, we thank Almighty Go~ for the security and stability which The Anchor has provided these many years as we move along on our voyage of faith and life. On this significant anniversary, we pray with confidence to the Heavenly Father that the apostolate of our Diocesan newspaper will continue, strong and faithful, for the many blessed years to come, helping all in our Diocese to an obedience of informed and vibrant faith.

Devotedly yours in Christ,

Bishop of Fall River

The Anchor's early! years· Birthdays are a time for rem· sociate pastor at St. Josep.h's

iniscing. The Anchor is no ex- Church, then as pastor at St. ception to the rule. As we com· Louis and Holy Name parishes, plete our first quarter century, all 'in Fall River. we look back at one of the most Additionally, for many of his exciting eras in the lorig history' . Anchor years, Msgr. Shalloo of the Church.

Happenings in the universal Church will be touched on else­where in this special issue, but world events are, after all, seen

. through local eyes. Who does not remember where he or she was when news of the f!,ttempts on the lives of pope and president flashed on radio and television? In each mind such moments wed the familiar to the event of world significance.

This is an /

important function ofa newspaper: the examination of what this or that major event means to us as a community! to

_me as a person.

O.n every newspaper' one per­son makes the major decisions as to direction, as to how 'news

, will be handled for the particular audience to be reached. On The .Anchor, for 18 years, that person was Msgr. Daniel F. Shalloo, our general manager.

His figure looms large in any retrospective view of the news­paper. With wit, good humor and priestliness he held the operation together, combining editorial duties with demanding pastoral ~esponsibilites, orginally as as­

taught at ·the former Sacred Hearts School of Education, and was chaplain of the Fall River Serra Club and Physicians' Guild. In 1968 he was named promoter of justice for the'diocesan mar­riage court, a position he still holds, and in 1963 he chaired the fundraisirig campaign for Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River.

Of tha.t bare-bones operation he' chuckled, "We studied the campaign a fundraising outfit put on for another school and did it all ourselves without hav,­ing to go outside for, expensive help."

Without fanfare and frills, Msgr. Shalloo ran The Anchor in . much the same thrifty style,put­ting together a dedicated team of newspersons and business staff­ers.

They included Hugh J. Gold-en: managing editor until his death .in 1970; and John T. Crowley,with the paper from its second issue until his death in 1977.

Very Rev. John P. Driscoll,. pastor of St.' Lawrence parish, New Bedford, and head of the: New Bedford deanery of the dio-

I

ces~, was assistant general man­. ager of The Anchor and its peer­

less: editorial writer. and Miss Rosemary Dussault has been ad­vertising and business manager since before day one, working wittl, the task force that prepared for the first issue of April II, 1951.

Others have come and gone through the years, but the above are the pioneers who built the foundation on which The Anchor stands.

.Thinking about those early days) Msgr. S1\alloo said recent­ly that Bishop James' L. Con­nollyl now retired, began think­ing a,bout a .diocesan newspaper in late 1956.

"S6 many things were going on in' those days and the secular papers could give us only limited

Icoverage," recalled Msgr. Shal­

,100. l'Bishop Connolly realized. that a diocesan newspaper. could give ;readers a comprehensive view ,of church news."

He Isaid that Bishop Connolly tapped him for the general man­ager'sl job during a lakeside stroll at the annual' priests' retreat at Cathedral Camp, East Freetown.

I With Hughie Golden, a journ­

alist turned lawyer, Msgr. Shal­100 began planning the ,new paper.: A preview of its contents was gi.ven by Golden to a. meet­

ing of Bishop Connolly and dio­cesan priests.

Noting that national and world coverage would be supplied by the National Catholic News Ser­vice, Golden pointed out that no metropolitan newspaper had as many "reporters" of newsworthy items as potentially existed in

. the diocesan clergy. He asked the priests to alert parish leaders to this new avenue of publicity for their activities. . "We do hope. to bring the peo­ple of Provincetown closer to the people of Marisfield and the Attleboros by reporting com" pletely all newsworthy activi­ties," Golden told the priests. . "This newspaper, an instrum­

ent of Catholic ACtion, will bring the church's teachings on philoso­phy and theology to the lay peo­ple," he said.

"We ... appreciate the chal­lenge, posed by the. tremendous task we are about to undertake," continued Golden. "With your cooperation,· we will provide

, each home in the diocese with something worthwhile - a paper which will be a credit to the dio­cese - and together we will conquer the challenge."

Saying that "everybody was great" and he received "unbe­lievable cooperation" from every­one associated· with the news­paper, Msgr. Shalloo neverthe­less paid special tribute to his

longtime associate, Father Dris­coll.

"Many priests used his editor­ials as takeoff points for their Sunday sermons," he said, add­ing that Father Driscoll's com~ ments were so tightly written "it· was impossible to cut them. If they were occasionally a line or two long, we'd simply reduce the size of the masthead for that' week."

How· many hours a week did Msgr. Shal100 put in at The Anchor? "Fourteen hundred" was his quick reply. In truth, the paper. was never far from his mind at all those 18 years.

And what does he see as the future, for his creation?

"As long as there's a need, there's a future," were. his re­assuring words. "People still want to sit iri a chair and read."

One last question: Who had the inSl>iration to call the news­paper of a coastal diocese The Anchor?

Loquacious Msgr. Shalloo turned taciturn.· "Avoid giving names," he muttered, then turn­ed around and did just that. "As soon as the' nam.e was mentioned to Bishop Connolly," he said, "he gave us the quote from St. Paul, carried on the front page for many years: An anchor of the SOUl, sure and firm,"

So who named The Anchor? One guess.

Meet Rosemary Dussault, The Anchor's anchor, the only crew ' member who's been aboard sinc~

before day one. Her involvement began, she

said, in February, 1957, two months before The Anchor~s first issue on April 11.

"We were all feeling our way," she said of those hectic days dur­ing which her first job was to bring order out of a chaotic ini­tial list of subscribers to the new paper.

"The lists had been sent out to have addressograph plates made,'" she explained, "and the cards were returned just thrown into boxes. The only division was that they gave us one box for each city. We had to sort them by parish and street ad­dress."

Aided by a corps of 'eighth graders from SS. 'Peter and Paul School, Fall River, where Father John, Driscoll, The Anchor's assistant manager, was then cu­rate, Rosemary finally got· the cards in order. Many are still in use, she says, each denoting a pioneer Anchor subscriber.

For its first few months The Anchor was housed in down-' town offices adjacent to those of Atty. Hugh Golden, its first editor. "When we were working on the subscription cards, we put long tables out'in the halls," re­called Rosemary. "Clients for

other offices in the building had to squeeze by our eighth graders."

S'oon, however, The Anchor's present offices at 410 Highland A:venue, Fall River, became avail­able and the fledgling paper had room to grow. So~did Rosemary's job. With the departure of The

'Anchor's original bookkeeper, she took over that assignment, along with the general office routine.

A special project was the de­velopment of a "morgue" of photographs and clippings on a 'wide variety of subjects. that could be called on to' supply background information for An­chor stories.

-One facet of the task was get­ting a photograph of every dioce­san priest, recalled Rosemary. "Finally we sent it photographer to the annual priests' retreat with orders to get a ITont and side view of everyone there. There was a lot of hasty shaving and dashing for clerical collars," she chuckled.

A standqut event during the Anchor's early years was the 1958 death of Pope Pius XII. "We had no files on the procedures that take place between the death of one pope and the accession of another; so we were really burning the midnight oil comb­ing through reference books," she said.

Thos~ hastily assembled facts stood The Anchor in good stead three more times during the past quarter :century, as the pap,er re­corded! the passings of John XXIII, Paul VI and John Paul I.

I .

While Roseinary became busierI I

IROSfMARY DUSSAULT

and busier with' other facets of The Anchor operation, a success­ion of aSSistants concentrated on' the all-idtportant circulation and mailing department. .

But dJring The Drive, the an­nual hectic period during which most A~chor subscriptions are up for renewal, she returns to her origihal post, leading her co­horts in toinplying with increa~-

I I

ingly complicated post office mailing regulations, separating the quick from the dead among subscribers and cajoling harried pastors into checking and return~

ing their parish subscription lists. .

Every year Rosemary sighs, "We'll never get through in time," but every year she meets her deadlines, usually juggling two or three other projects sim­Ultaneously. This, year's extras include this special Anchor issue and another couple of specials just over the horizon. " Which brings us' to advertis­

ing. Special issues mean special ads, which mean specially long hours for The Anchor's adver­t'ising manager.

You guessed it. That hat, too, belongs to Rosemary. Wearing it means calls on advertisers, enor~

mous amounts of telephone time and hours spent on copywriting and layout. .

Also slipping in shyly and claiming its share of attention is the diocesan office of communi­cations, headquartered at The Anchor and in frequent need of

.having releases sent to area newspapers, television and'radio stations. . It sounds like at least five jobs

but Rosemary survives them all, , aided by her willingness to put

in 'extra hours as needed; and

also by' the fact that she finds the whole thing a challenge ­or five challenges. . Among her responsibilities she n~mes as most enjoyable her start-to-finish involvement in The Anchor's advertising. "Per­sonal contact is the name of the game there," she says.

She also counts as a plus the many contacts she has made over the years with Catholic press advertising personnel. "We have an informal assistance net­work," she said, "and feel free to call each other up for advice or information as necessary." , For years, she said, she was

the only woman advertising ex­ecutive at Catholic Press Asso­ciation conventions. "When the advertising sessions started," she recalled, "the chairman would say 'Gentlemen :- and Rosemary - may I have your attention?'"

Nowadays, she says, many more women are in advertising and she finds them "sharp and quick."

Another plus of CPA member­ship has been the opportunity it gives her to travel. Last fall she combined attendance at an inter- ' national press meeting with a tour of Germany and later this spring she will continue from an Arizona convention to vacation in California.

Anchorite 11

By Pat McGowan

The dictionary says an anchor­ite is one who lives in seclusion,usually for religious reasons.Half that definition applies toThe Anchor's quite sociable staff.What we do is for religious rea­sons but we are seldom accusedof being seclusive.

Sometimes we wish the wholedefinition applied to us, how­ever. Like when people call tocomplain about the new Code ofCanon Law ("How come youput that out without the popeknowing about it?"); or to gripethat we print far toomuch or notnearly enough about

a) the charismatic renewalb) peace and justice issuesc) uiarriage and the familyd) abortion and birth control.

Most of the time, though, it'spretty nice being our brand ofAnchorite. I speak from the ex­.,ert~ of 24 years, 18 part­time, six fulltime.

Not many people begin theirjournalism career from a hospi­tal bed, but that's how it waswith me. I was at St. Anne'sHospital, relaxing after the birthof daughter number 2 <and thosewere the days, ladies - sheetsan<J pillowcases hand-embroid­e~ by the sisters and Sistersea'to assure every mother thathers was the most beautifulbaby St. Anne's had ever beenprivileged to usher into' theworld).

Anyway, in came MonsignorDaniel Shalloo, then Anchor gen·eral manager, for what I thoughtwas simply a pastoral visit. Butsomewhere along the line heslipped in an assignment to covera CYO meeting. Things contin­ued from there.

For 18 years the job was part­time, woven around the arrivaland upbringing of seven childrenand made considerably easier be­cause' of living across the streetfrom The Anchor's editorialoffices.

As the children got older,messenger service was' pretty

Rosemary. then and now, theglue that holds The Anchor to­gether, and her cohorts, firstCollette Burkett, now in Cali.fornia, then Carol Bennett, nowin Texas, were the only fulltimeAnchorites.

The rest of us were parttimeand sometimes didn't see eachother for weeks on end. Ourcommon point of reference was"the chair," a battered woodenobject at the editorial door,ready to receive our copy for theprinter. Anyone going in the di­rection of that printer. LearyPress, of Fall River for nearly allour 25 years, was dl1ty bound totake along the latest offerings

The parttimers included Msgr.Shalloo, editorialist Father JohnP. Driscoll and Father John Fol·ster. Very important too wereeditor Hughie Golden. and Latinscholar and walking reference onstyle and usage John T. Crowley,both now deceased.

Saturday mornings were usu­ally a gathering time, when John,Hughie and Msgr. Shalloo heldstrategy sessions. OccasionallyBishop James L. Connolly. nowretired, would wander in to jointhe discussion and cast a father­ly eye around the office.

Those were the leisurely years,before the National CatholicNews Service teleprinter chat­tered at us all day, the yearswhen trips to the post office formailed packages of national andinternational news stories werean important part of the routine.

At that time The Anchor off­ices, in what was once a mill­owner's elegant home in FallRiver's Highlands section, werebare and spare. The woodenfloors were splintery, my wood­en chair uncompromisingly up­right. Du~ng .my parttime yearsI didn't have a desk and shareda typewriter.

Of recent.years, however, TheAnchor has glamorized itself abit. We now have curtains, car­peting and more comfortablechairs. And Rosemary has twocoworkers, Lucille Fontaine andLinda Forcier, to deal with thenever--ending chores of circula­tion and mailing.

How The Anchor's It would be hard to improve

on Father John Foister's descrip­tion of the weekly job of putting out The Anchor: Acting editor for 14 months during the 1970s, he wrote: "The publication of The Anchor is an ongoing, con­stant apostolate under the press­ure of the human unexpected in news and the unsympathetic and unchanging deadline.

"In all the hectic happenings of each day, The Anchor staff attempts to bring meaning and value to the whirlwind of daily history, anxious tensions, crying needs. It attempts in all this busy loudness and echo to make clear the church's constant effort to explain, to unify and to give spirit."

That's why it's done. But how does news get from the reporter's notebook or the news wire to the newspaper you're holding?

Other papers may have differ­ing procedures, but at The An­chor each week's issue begins with a newsprint dummy of the paper-to-be and a schedule sheet listing all regular features plus "extra" stories and features available for use if needed. _-

As each feature, such as "Know Your Faith" or "On Rec­ord," Is prepared for the printer, it is checked off the schedule sheet. Similarly, as news stories are readied, they are entered on

the dummy in the position where they will most likely be used.

Concurrently, stories origina­ting in the Fall River diocese are written, photographers are dis­patched to important events and the popular Steering Points col­umn is prepared..

Tentative plans are made for the showcase front page, always with the realization that unex­pected world or local events may dictate last-minute changes.

This background work contin­ues for three days a week. On the other two days comes the job of putting it all together.

That takes place at the Leary Press in the shadow of St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Fall River. There stories are set in type and they and the week's quota of advertising are fitted on each page.

Although the last part of The Anchor's print operation is an up­to-the-minute offset process, stories are initially set on lino­type machines well over half a century old. The wedding of an­cient and new techniques might be considered a symbol of the church, combining old and new

published as she continues her 2,000 year­

. old teaching mission. Besides, say aficionados, the

"hot type" of linotypes yields a print job far superior to the "cold type" of computerized opera­tions.

At any rate, from the linotype the hot type goes to long me.tal trays or galleys. "Galley proofs" are made from these and given a first reading for errors.

The type is then arranged in metal b9xes, each the size of a completed Anchor page, page proofs are made, the material is proofread a second time and final. corrections are made.

The process now enters the 20th century as "reproduction proofs" are prepared on high­gloss paper, photographed and transferred to large light-sensi. tive aluminum sheets, four An. chor pages to a sheet. .

The sheets are placed on Leary's huge offset press and, with last-minute adjustments of ink flow and paper tension, everything comes together and with a roar like ocean thunder .the presses roll. ,. In less than three hours, nearly 30,000 Anchors are printed, fold­ed and ready to be addressed, bundled and bagged for the post office.

And it's time to start the pro­cess all over again.

THE ANCHOR-Anniversary Edition-Fri., April 16, 1982 ,,28, .

the moorin Some Personal Words

For this very special edition of The Anchor, the objective will be made subjective and the impersonal rather personal. , • '

, Few people, let alone few priests, have the chance in life of celebrating events that even though minor are historic. For some, this anniversary of a diocesan newspaper is but, to be graphic, a flea on a dog's back. Yet, for this editor, it is a moment for reflection accompanied by at least ~ small dose of personal satisfaction. :

This might seem somewhat smug, but it is only the statement of one who has been caught up for over 15 years by force of circUmstances'in the world of wor4s and print via The Mooring. I

In November, 19~7, this Mooring began almost by chance a ~ that, has lasted much longer than was anticipated. Twenty-two years ago, during my short but very interesting first assignment as a brash newly­ordained priest, I was introduced to a parishioner, one Hugh Golderi. '

From the outset a unique relationship developed. At the time of our first meeting he looked upon me as one of those' if you can imagine in 1960, new breed' priests. Both of. us quick to verbalize, we excl1anged our ideas of the church readily and frankly. ,Our relationship continued over the years, even though I was no longer in Hugh's parish. "

On one occasion, when I was giving ~y opinion (which, as my friends know, is always available) on some matter, he turned to me and said, in essence, "Put' up or' shut up." .' , '

In effect; his challenge occasioned The Mooring column, which has ,become the trademark of this editor. I

For me, the 15 Mooring years have not been dull. To refre~h my memory, which has been known to draw a convenient blank, I took a quick glance' at The Moo,ring, both in the years when it appeared as a column and in those since it has graduated to being The Anchor's editorial voice. (Would you ~elieve that it has been filed and catalogued I by a devoted staff?) ". ' :

The parade of ideas, words, titles and comments that flashed before my eyes made even me wonder how one, could be so verbose, riot to mention opinionated. " ,

The Mooring during those years attempted to comment, refledt and express, an opinion that w~s nothing more than a personal reflection on the ,ti~es. Those columns were offered in honesty. After glancing: over theIr fIrst 10 years, I doubt that even if I had the opportunity, I would change their tone or content. '

Yet it must be stated that not once has there been any attempt to censure, change or subvert my copy. Encouragement to continue, inl spite of some objections, was always present in the person of the founding eqitor.

Msgr. .Daniel Shalloo was. not merely supportive and helpful but understand1Og, sympathetic and patient of this apprentice pen. He was an intelligent and quick-witted editor and above all a devoted churchman. ,!Ie gave me an insight into the printed word and its potential powe~ and Influence that only a caring editor could give a fledgling.' :

, Over the years, too, Msgr. Shalloo's ability to see the human aspect of lIfe's events has helped many, including thi~ editor, to "view life steadily and vie~ it whole." Wi,th ~his combination, words have validity. i

, D~r1Og The Anchor s fIrst generation, the p~per was favored in having an a~sIsta~t ,general manager who brought' to 'it the gift of his ,own 'mind and intellIgence. ' , Father John Driscoll brings me special memories from the days ~hen I was an altar boy and he was an assistant in' my home parish "of. St. Lawrence, New Bedford, where he is now pastor.

~is natural insight and vast knowledge were more, than supportive, espeCIally when he took the time, al~ng with, wonderful Jo~n, Crowley, to make sense out of a young man's Jumbledthoughis: ',", ','

, ~n the context of people who have dedicated, themselves in a: very speCIal way to the founding of The Anchor, one can't easily put aside the glue that k~pt everythi~g together in the beginning as i~ does t6pay. , ,The adheSIve element In the day-to-day operations of The Anchor' IS of course to be found in the energies, talents and concern of Rosemary

: Dussau~t. .For t~e entire li!e of this paper, she has been the thread of cont1OUIty WhICh has kmtted the involved administrative process of

. so~t?ern New.England's largest. weekly newspaper into a smooth, and , ,effICIent ?peratlOn. From subscriptions, advertising and mailings to parish

p.r., sh~ IS that loyal and devo~ed servant who-represents well our church. In ~e n~wspaper world <?ne doesn't work in a vacuum.' I acknowledge

the contrIbutions of these people to my beginnings in-the printed wodd not' o?ly because the~ have d?ne so. much to make our diocesan pape~ a VIbrant and effectIve fo!ce 10 the hfe of o,ur lo~al church but also because

they have bee~ 'so very helpful to me. Without Monsignor Shalloo, Father . "John Driscoll, Hugh Golden; John Crowley and Rosemary Dussault~

The Anchor would not have survived these 25 years. : The completion of 'its first decade brought The Mooring to a unique

juncture in journalism for a' columnist. A decision' had to be made to evolve the personai comments of a writer into the reflections of an editor.

',In ..January of 1977, The Mooring became the signed editorial of The Anchor ,with all that implies in newspaper jargon. For me it was not just a change but rather another challenge, another beginning in my life. .

I feel that I have not an obligation, but rather a responsibility to put into print the observation that these past five years have been perhaps

,the busiest of my life, possibly proving that life does begin at 40. I could not have kept my wits about me without the support, encouragement and freedom given to me by the publisher. ,

When all is said and done, both in the secular and church press, the publisher is the boss. Yet, while always recognizing Bishop Cronin as the publisher, I,know also that he is 'a person who can share loyalty and trust. Not once since the day when he and I entered the unique relationship of publisher and editor has he ever limited or curtailed the words, opinions or ideas of The Mooring. '

There are times, I am sure, when he might disagree with my style or content. Yet never has, he attempted to restrict editorial freedom. In fact, he has supported me in matters in which divergent viewpoints were more than merely uncomfortable. " ,

I make this refiectiQn knowing well that an editor is indeed reflective of the publisher. For my part, our working relationship has been more than successful. -He' knows my mind and as editor I respect his. What better relationship for newspaper people? '

These five years a~ editor have also brought me into many areas 0{1

church life which I would, o~herwise never have experienced. I have met hundreds of people througho~t the nation who have given themselves to the work of the church via the printed media. , As The Anchor completes 25 years of service and begins a new chapter in the life,of this local church, it does so with hope and optimism.

I, as editor, hope that I will be, wherever future days may find me, a loyal and honest churchman. I do not think a priest editor could pray for more. '

,?ver the m~n.tle in my office there hangs a portrait of one of my , favonte, pers~n~htIes, St. Thomas More (no relationship yet perceived).' Under the paIntlI~g I have placed a saying of his: "The things that I pray for, good Lord, gIVe me the grace to labor for," This is my own prayer in this apostolate. ,.. ~ . The Mooring is not merely a survivor from year to year. I want it to

lIve, to reflect and to teach as'should all workers in the, vineyard. As The Anchor continues as the biblical sign of hope, it would be

presumptuous to say that, all is perfect ,and ideal. Some, I am sure, have b~en hurt by my comments and reflections over the past 15 years. May I smcerely assure these people that my words have ,not been 'personal. In my own search for objectivity I must still deal with myself. If I have hl!rt, 'I pray that I can also heal.

Yet t?e word must be spoken, printed and proclaimed. The church ~ust contmue to serve and be served. A diocesan paper is an instrument 10 the work -of the church. Of its very nature it witnesses to the Good .News,. For the past 25 years The Anchor has done just this in the Fall RIve~ dIocese. May it continue this mission in future days, no matter what _theIr number.

, Like all.thi~g~ of man,.The ~ooring will some day fade and no longer be. Yet whIle It IS, may It be Just what it is, no more, no less. "

welcome extended by Cape Cod families to some 25 Hungarian high school students who had fled their homeland in the 1956 uprisings against Communism.

May 16 brought news of the establishment of the first Naza­I'eth school for exceptional- chil­dren. It was located in ,FaIl River but Bishop Connolly in announc­ing it said he knew that it was "charity with a chain reaction already set up. I can well expect requests for services in other communities . .' . let me say simply that I should Hke nothing better than to provide for all."

Also reported was the second annual convention of the dioce­san Ca'tholic teachers, who heard 'lectures by Dr. Annabelle Mel­ville of 'Bridgewater State Col­'lege and P.rofessor William J.. O'Ke,efe of Boston College Law School, among' others.

In June progress was outlined

mouth.. To properly enshrine the painting, 'Father Avila, now re­tired, renovated the entire church.

Also in June, Msgr.' John H. Hackett, now deceased, contrib­uted an e~tensive article on the 1917 Code ,of Canon Law, then 40 years old: It was the first such collection of church law to have been made' in 700 years, noted Msgr; Hackett. Now, only

, 65 years from that ·time, onrush­ing events have made yet an­other updating necessary, and a new Code of Canon Law is due for promulgation this year.

July, 1957 brought establish­ment of the parish of Our Lady

, of Victory in Centerville and on the international scene the rec­ord-breaking total was noted of 121 speeches made by Pope Pius XII in .the 18th year ,of his reign.

"The large number of speeches . . . reflects the Jncrease in the number of international congress meetings in Rome and the grow­on construction of Our Lady of ' ing custom of ,delegates to such Fatima Church,' Swansea, and

the need for it was seen as "one meetings to be I'eceived in group audiences by the pope," the NCmore indication of the way Cath­News reporter stated. ,olics are moving to subu·rban

Continued from page 32 came in December of The An­chor's first year, when Pope Pius XU stated in an address to the International Congress of Anes­thetists that "one.is obliged to use only ordinary means to pro­long his life."

A front-page article by famed moral theologian Father Francis J. Connell, CSSR noted that "this is the teaching of Catholic Church as now proclaimed by the Vicar of Christ. It is a middle course between the pagan theory of euthanasia that would allow a person 'suffering from a hope­less ailment to be put to death by some direct mean's and tne theory that every possible means must be used to keep a person alive, even when death would 'be a relief."

Also in that December The Anchor began its long tradition of announcing the ann'ual Bish­op's 8all, even then a cherished diocesan annual event. Playing for the 1958 ball was Lester Lanin,"the number one band leader of high society." Among his recent engagements at that time had been a Monte Carlo ball honoring - Prince Rainier and Princess Grace and widely pub­licized Tiffany ball in Newport.

The Anchor's first Christmas issue. highlighted the famous "Yes, Virginia; there is a Santa Claus" story as well as Christ­mas photographs from diocesan

schools and' sports columnist Jack Kincavy's selections for "the first all-diocesan footbal1 team."

On the 1957'world scene death came for Msgr. RonaldA.Knox, '

U.S. Catholics closed the year by observing a-day of prayer for tpe . persecuted of the world, while Pop~ Pius XI,I begged inter­national leaders to renew efforts towards world peace.

Also in 1959 the National Shrine of the Immaculate Con­ception,the largest U.S. Catholic church, 37 yelll's in the building, was dedicated; and the U.S. bish­ops lashed out at the proposed use of birth control methods to solve population problems. The bishops also identified Commu­nism as the major obstacle to world peace.
