Catholics point out that theFederal Constitution makes noprovisions for a' federal or of- ,.ficial school system. In addition,it guarantees parents the rightto educate their children in a re­ligious tradition. Therefore, allthree school systems now in ex­istence' - public, parochial andprivate-have validity. Since all

'three provide the public serviceof educating for the benefit ofthe wholecommunlty, all threeshould be supported by commu­nity funds. Public funds, ofcourse, should not be used forthose aspects of the' private andparochial school systems that arespecifically sectarian and reli­gious. But in the other areaswhere community goals are be­ing provided for" financial sup­port should be forthcoming fromthe community funds. It is notthat the parochials schools areasking for money to which theyhave no right. The facts are thatparoch'ial schools until now havebeen foregoing this money butnow need to.put in their legiti­mate claim for it in order to helpthem function and to prevent afar heavier burden from fa'l1ing'on the taxpayers.'

The long-awaited report of theMassachusetts Advisory Councilon Education nas been releasedand indicates' that if parochialschools in Massachusetts werephased out the cost to the tax­

'payers to provide for those' who ,would turn to the public schoolsystem' would be $1.8 billion dol- .lars over the next ten years., The report of MACE is anobjective survey undertaken bythe Council and has nothing todo with the Catholic Church orthe parochial system in theState. Catholic school systemswere asked to provide some ofthe basic statistics iregardingnumbers of students, classrooms,and so forth. But the conclusionsof the report are drawn strictlyfrom the facts.

The report was undertaken toestimate the burden of educationbeing carried by extra-publicschool systems and the cost tothe taxpayer if these private andparochial schools were forced toclose. It has become increasingevident in the last few yearsthat many parishes and religiouscommunities in the State werefinding it more and more dif­ficult to finance the extensiveparochial and private school sys­tem in Massachusetts.

PercentageCatholic elementary and sec­

ondary schools in the State edu­cate 18 per cent of the childrenin Massachusetts, a total of 209,­563. Within the Dio<:ese of FallRiver, there are 17,213 studentsin elementary schools, 4,899 stu­dents in 'high schools, and 116students in special schools. Thecity of Fall River ranks w.ithFitchJ:iurg and Lawrence withthe highest percentage of non­public school enrollments with46 per cent of students enrolledin Catholic schools.

Plan for Lower Grades

A move designed to helpfinancially-pinched parishes tomeet their straining treasuries inthe operation of parochial ele­mentary schools has been initi­ated by Most Rev. James L. Con­nolly, Bishop of Fall River.

The traditional Easter collec­tion henceforth will be used tohelp defray the cost of educatingneedy pupils in the 54 lower­grade schools in the diocese.

The annual Easter collectionhas been used in the past to op­erate orphans homes. "We willsupport the so-called orphanagesfrom diocesan funds," the Bishopsaid in a pastoral letter read atall churches in the diocese lastSunday.

"Let us all help maintain ourschools," Bishop Connolly em­phasized, adding, "increase thenumber of beneficiaries, espe­cially students and families."The Bishop said the Eastermonies will be "given to providefor the education of needychil~

dren in Catholic elementaryschools."

The Bishop's letter:. Beloved in Christ,

. Christ instructed HiS" followersto teach what he taught, and sobring men to the knowledge,love, and service of God. Overthe centuries, Cathedral schools,monastery schools; and universi­ties have carefully carried outthis role. Parish schools were

slow in coming. But,once start­ed, in the United States, 85 yearsago. they have been the proud,successful feature of our system.They were built at great· sacrificeby the faithful, and happilystaffed by dedicated women ofgreat religious communities.

Now, we read the papers tell­ing of schools being closed forlack of religious, and the grow­ing necessity to employ lay­teachers whose salaries neces-'sarily amount to four or fivetimes what self-sacrificing sis­ters have received.

Weare- in a season of seriousneed. You can well imagine theextent of the problem when Itell you that some parochial

schools presently employ asmany lay-teachers as sisters,and the situation is serious tothe point that a few schools arenear the point of closing. We donot. relish the thought any morethan do the faithful. So I writeto tell you of an importantchange, made with' an aim toprovide subsidy for needy par­ishes.

Our Easter Sunday Collectionhas always been given for sup­port of children in the threeorphanages. It will, beginningthis year, be given to providefor the education of needy chil­dren in Catholic elementaryschools, We have 'already done

Mullen, who is chairman of theHouse Appropriations Commit­tee, said he has no objectionto the pay raises being grantedto public school teachers, butasserted that those increases areforcing the nonpublic schools toraise their own scale in orderto maintain good education.

"Many of ~s are fearful thatunless some financial aid is pro­vided' to the nonpublic schoolsin a substantial way immediately,many ,of the services which aregiven to our children in the non­public schools will be terminatedbecause of our inability to' paythe rising costs necessary tofurnish the services," he said.

Teachers NegotiateFor Pay Increases-

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Layteachers in the secondary schoolsystem of the Philadelphia arch­doicese have asked for annualsalary increases ranging from$2,100 to $3,400.

John J. Reilly, presidEmt of theAssociation of Catholic Teachers,affiliated with the AFL-CIO Fed­eration of Teachers, said negotia­tions had begun, with archdioc­esan school administrators.

ACT officials asked a salaryscale for lay teachers beginningat $7,500 and rising to $12,900after 11 years of service. Thepresent satary scale for lay teach­ers in the archdiocesan secondaryschools system ranges from,$5,400 fo'r a beginning teacher"to$9,500 in the 14tll year. ,

~enna. Bill to Increase 'N()npublicSchool Aid Passes 'First' Hurdle

HARRISBURG '(NC - Thehottest piece of current legisla­tion to' aid nonpublic schools inPennsylvania, which breezedthrough the House on a 114-76vote, faces rougher treatment inthe Republican-controlled Senate.Arid if it leaps that hurdle, itwill meet the expressed opposi­tion' of Gov. Raymond P. Shafer,who says he will veto it for lackof funding.

A total of 90 Democrats and 24Republicans supported the mea­sure, while 13 Democrats and 63Republicans voted against it.There were 12 absentees.

Minority leader Lee. A Don­aldson, Jr., who supports theexisting legislation which pro­vides $4.3 million in aid to non­public schools, opposed the pres­ent measure, which would super­cede that bill and allocate $20.5million this year and $41.7 mil­lion later.

The funds would come fromthe cigarette tax. Donaldson pre­dicted the new measure would befought in court if passed, andsaid that in any case "we don't·believe the funds are availablefor it."

The bill's chief sponsor, Demo­crat Martin P. Mullen of Phila­delphia, said the added cost tothe state would be negligible incomparison to the amount whichwould have to be spent if thestate had to pay the full costof educating nonpublic schoolchildren.

The enrollment in nonpublicschools already has declined from614,691 in October, 1966, to570,020 last October, with lackof money playing a majot part.

Gigantic Task"Certainly if the parents of the

children attendingnonpublicschools were to decide that theywere no longer going to bear thetremendous personal sacrifice toeducate their children in the non­public school and decide to trans­fer their children to 'the public

much for students on the HighSchool level. That we will con­tinue. We will support the so­called orphanages from Diocesanfunds. But we must provide gen­erous support for parochialschools. What tuitions have been

..- paid by parishioners proud oftheir school, and of three or fourneighboring parishes' not havingschools but willing to pay$100.00 per student, does noteven come close to meet evermounting expense.

Regardless of present prob·lems we must give more realisticsalaries to sisters. By 1970, injustice, we intend to raise sisterssalaries to almost twice whatthey are now. This year, the in­crease goes from $1,200.00 to$1,600.00, and from $1,400 to$1,800.00 per sister per schoolyear. In addition, each sister orbrother teaching in our schoolsystem will henceforth get thebenefit, if he docs not have italready of Blue Cross and BlueShield insurance. This is impor­tant, if for no other reason thanto lift from teachers shouldersanxieties about sickness andhospital expense.

We are members of a workingcommunity. Over thirty or moreyears our income and healthbenefits have far exceeded whattraditionally has been grantedthe sisters as a reward for greatsacrifices. It is in our own inter­est to continue parish schoolswhere they exist. Anyone doubt­ing that, might benefit somewhatby reading the insistent lettersof protest that reach our officewhenever there is question ofclosing a school. But, in all sin­cerity, we must all inevitably domore by action than by words.The parish, and the diocese canspend only according to theirmeans.

So I call on one and all par­ishes, with and without schools,to demonstrate in the EasterCollection, now designated forthe support of Catholic childrenwho might not otherwise getthe education 1n religion calledfor by Our Blessed Lord, to liftsubstantially what they havecustomarily given for the or­phans.

Ways in which mental centerscan work with c1~rgymen, andmethods of developing clergy as"front line community mentalhealth resources" will be dis­cussed.

The program is open to clergyand mental health professionalsfrom all areas of the state. Fur­ther information is available fromthe Association for MentalHealth. 38 Chauncy Street, Bos­ton, or from the Department ofPastoral Ministry of the Mas­sachusetts Council of Churches.

Communism, he said, "cannotrenounce its struggle against re­ligion and Christian civilizationbecause it has as its fundament­al principle that capitalism mustbe destroyed and that religionis but the opium with Which cap­italism has drugged the pro­letariat."

Despite this last declaration,Taylor attempted during his visitthe following year to persuadethe Holy See that the SovietUnion was softening its hard lineagainst religion.

'Helpful Collaborator'A resume of Taylor's conver­

"Ambassador Taylor, referringto Russia, declared that in theopinion of American governmentofficials, it is the duty of allto attempt to reform Russia andto bring her into line as a mem­ber of the family of nations, rath­er than to try to keep her isolated

VATICAN CITY (NC)-In its newly published fifthvolume of a series giving hitherto secret documents ofpapal diplomatic and humanitarian activities during WorldWar II, The Holy See has detailed an attempt by the lateDomenico Cardinal Tardinito warn the United Statesthat Europe under commu­nist domination would be nobetter off than under nazi dom­ination.

This is found in a memo ofCardinal Tardini to PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt's personalrepresentative at the Holy See,Myron C. Taylor. The memo isone of 500 and more documentspublished in the new book, whichhas a historical introduction of63 pages, plus almost 600 pagesof documents.

Naive ViewThe new volume is part of

a series begun by the Holy Seein 1965, apparently in reply toattacks on Pope Pius XII's mo­tives launched by German play­wright Rolf Hochhuth in hisplay "The Deputy:'

This volume-and most of itspredecessors-was edited by aninternational team of Jesuit his­torians: Father Pierre Blet ofFrance, Robert A. Graham ofthe United States, Angelo Mar­tini of Italy and Burkhart Schnei­der of Germany.

Cardinal Tardini. who thenheld the post of secretary ofthe Congregation for Extraordin­ary Ecclesiastical Affairs and therank of monsignor, cautionedTaylor against a naive view ofcommunist Russia during thepresidential representative's firstvisit to the Vatican, in 1941.

In a memo he wrote for Taylorthe day afterward, he began: "Atpresent Europe is faced withtwo great dangers: nazism andcommunism. Both are opposed toreligion, to Christian civilization,to personal liberty, to peace. Atthe present moment nazism isbetter organized and boastsgreater strength."

Identical SituationMsgr. Tardini asserted that "if

the war now in progress were tomean the end of both dangers, aperiod of tranquility would bepossible for Europe. If even oneof these evils-communism, forexample-were to remain an ac­tive force, Europe would, with­in a few years, be in a situationidentifical with that in whichit finds itself today."

He observed that communism"has always profited by the dis­content of the people in momentsof difficulty."

,It is a,' sign of the moral health of this': nation - or,

at least, the desire for the same - that so many peoplehave .been touched by the geath of former President Eisen­hower, by the qualities ofdecency and duty and honor andintegrity that he exemplified in his life:

A man who ha.d in his control tremendous militaryand governmental power, he nonetheless made his impactnot precisely by what he did but by what he was.

In an age when.so much importance is placed on do­ing, it is good tha.t so much value stiH is 'placed on being.

Perhaps the activists can take a strong lesson fromthis. Their desire to bring about changes in so many areaswill the more quickly be realized when and if they them­selves are impressive within themselves for what theyare. Then what they want to do may follow.

, The purpose of Holy Week is not simply to relivethe events of the Lord's passion and death and resurrec­tion - although it 1S this, surely. But it aims at causingmen to enter so completely into these events of the_ Lord'sredemption that they share the redemption and live newlives in the future.

Christianity inconveniences. It does not want a personto stay the same. It brings about internal revolution - inattitudes and thoughts and then in words and, deeds. ItcO!J1mits a ,persolJ:,to.a life that, in the words of the lat~

Cardinal Suhard of Pans, ,oj's inexplicafjle if G6d:-'dQ,e"'s"" riotexist." ,

School Report'The report issued by the Massachusetts Advisory

Council on 'Education was sponsored by neither the Cath­'olic Church nor the parochial school systems.

This objective report indiCates that if the Catholicschool system iIi the commonwealth were phased out, thetaxpayers of Massachusetts would have to payout onebillion, eight hundred million dollars over the next tenyears in public school replacements.

The tax rates would skyrocket - up $46.20 in thecity of Fall River, up $25.50 in New Bedford, up $39.70 inTaunton, up $65.40 in Acushnet, up $13.80 in Berkley,up $2.80 in Dighton, up $4.50 in Freetown, up $2.20 in Re­hoboth, up $4.50 in Seekonk, up $9.20 in Somerset, up$34.60 in Swansea, up $29.60 in Westport.

What are the conclusions to be drawn? The parochialschool system has no intention of "blackmailing" theState into aid. But it points out that all three school sys­tems - public, parochial and private - fulfill a publicfunction of educating. All three would seem to be entitledto support for the public function they perform for thecommunity. The add~d dimension given by the parochialschools - the spiritual dimension - would, of course, be ­excluded from such support.

The students participating inthe gay afternoon session repre­sented St. Anne's, St. Anthony'sand Sacred Heart Schools in NewBedford; St. George in Westportand St. Joseph's, Attleboro.

Was it effective?"When is the next one?" seem­

ed to answer that.Next year, however, the nuns

hope to expand the program intoan inter-community one.

"We hope this is just the be­ginning," Sister Anita says.

tions of the afternoon-provingto the young people that religiousreally can be in the groove­was the "hooten-nunny" musicalprogram presented by I0 of thenuns.

Plucking quitar strings in pro­fessional fashion were Sister Jac­queline Martel of Sacred HeartSchool and Sisters Mary JeanneLanglois, Therese Fortin andEmily Labonte, all of St. Anne's.

Shone on AutoharpSister Antia shone on the auto­

harp. Sister Julie Payment of St.Joseph's, Attleboro, and SisterDiane Villeneuve of Sacred HeartSchool pounded out a foot-tap­ping beat on the bongo and SisterAlice Gregoire of St. Anne'skept up the pace with the mar­aca.

Sister Patricia Long of St.Anthony's directed the musical

Gen. Markey discussed theconcern and role of the laymanin helping to foster religiousvo­cations.

The priests participating metin small discussion groups withthe boys while the nuns met withthe girls.

Role of Layman"We were amazed. They were

really enthused;'~ one of the nunssaid after the program ended."The boys asked many pointedquestions about the priesthoodand what priests do and howthey live. The girls did the samewith the nuns."

"Children today are very curi­ous," said another nun. "I'm glad.they are."

As fascinating as the vocation­al discussions were, however,

• one of the outstanding aUrac-

Consequently, Sister talked'over ~ idea of a "happening"with Sister Jeannette Bessette,St. Anne's principal, and herfellow teachers at the school.All were enthusiastic.

"Without them, nothing wouldhave happened," Sister Anitasays.

Designed specifically for 6th,7th and 8th Grade students, eachgroup was given a share of theprogram.

The 8th Graders at St. Anne'spresented skits on vocations,with Maureen Sullivan and Mich­ael Brassard serving as chair­men of the girls' and boys'groups respectively.

.·The 7th Graders were assignedthe chore of collecting informa­tion from a variety .of religiousorders for a display in the schoolhall.

The 6th Graders respresentedthe Holy Cross order and were'supposed to have all the informa­tion about the order that anyonemight want.

Master of ceremonies was Den­nis Duclos.

Priests from the various par­ishes in which the order con­ducts schools and nuns from theschools were invited to partici­pate in the program. Some eightpriests and 25 nuns were onhand to answer questions duringdiscussion· sessions.

A special guest was Rev. JohnSmith of St. James Church, di­rector of vocations in the dio­cese.

Another special guest wasBrigadier Gen. Lawrence B.Markey, U.S. Army, Ret., whowas named a Knight of the HolySepulchre in 1964.

It began with a prayer and ended with a "hooten-nunny" and in between ~~ gen­erated an .obvious enthusiasm among some 250 youngsters congregated for a Voca­tional Happening." That was the story of a sparkling eve~t that ~ook .place .Saturdayat St. Anne School in New Bedford. Even the nuns responsible don t qUite belIeve howwell it clicked. In an agewhen it sometimes seems tosome that more peopleare leaving the religious lifethan are going into it, the Vo­cational Happening was a re­freshing look at the enthusiasmof a young generation.

It began with the concern of.Holy Cross nuns about "develop­ment of vocations in ourschools," explains Sister. AnitaDesrosiers, a native of St. Anne'sparish and 7th· Grade teacherin the parish school. She is thedaughter of Mr. and Mrs. AdrienH. Desrosiers of 36 "SalisburyStreet.

This year, she says, "our com­munity organized vocational co­ordinators in every school weoperate. We work with an areacoordinator. In the' Fall RiverDiocese that is Sister EstelleComeau of St. Anthony's HighSchool."

Theory behind the program isthat if children are never ex­posed to religious vocation in­formation, they'll never knowwhat a religious life offers.

Don't Know What HappensSister Anita says she became

"really interested" as a resultof a survey taken last year "thatshowed children don't knowwhat happens to us after theycarry our bags to the conventwhen school ends."

The survey, answered by ele­mentary school students, indi­cated that many would be inter­ested in knowing more abolltvocations.

"This generation is veryaware. They want to know morethan they were getting," SisterAnita says.

Suburbia can become "the na­tion's and the world's· consci­ence," because it is able -toprovide the leisure to its resi­dents that is required to achievebroad vision and it has the ex­perts of. society with "the kindof specialized knowledge thatis not universally at the disposalof men," he said.

CONVENTION: Rev. JeffreyKeefe. OFMC. certified psychol­ogist who is a professor of pas­toral theology at St. Anthony­on-the-Hudson. Renselear. N.Y.•will soeak on "TheAdolesc~ntParadox' at the 'annual1CatholicTeachers Convention to be heldat Bishop Feehan High, Attle­boro. May 8-9.

This most holy and joyful ofChristian holidays was celebratedon many different dates until acouncil of famous churchmenmet in 325 A.D. and with thehelp of astronomers set the datefor Easter. They decided that itwould fall on the first Sundayafter the first full moon ofSpring. That is why Easter cannever arrive before Spring!

Customs that surround thecelebration of this lovely dayhave come down to us present­day Christians from manysources. Again many of theEaster symbols are also symbolsfor Spring. Even in ancienttimes, before the birth of Christ,the egg was used at paganSpring festivals.

Returning SunFor these people it symbolized

the returning of the sun afterthe bleakness of winter and withthe returning warmth a renewalof joy. Children all over theworld associate eggs WIth Easter;they color them, they decoratethem, and they hunt for them;and if mothers are lucky theymay even be able to persuadetheir offspring to eat a few.

In Poland decorating of Eastereggs becomes more meaningfulas a Christian custom becausethe artist often draws liturgicalsymbols on the shells. MaryReed Newland in her informativebook "The Year and Our Chil­dren" tells the reader that her.family had .such good fun deco~

rating eggS with religioussym-.bois, lighting their Paschal can­dIe and keeping the Easter vigilthat even the younger ones real­ized that there is more to thisjoyful day than chocolate rabbitsand marshmallow chicks.

The perfect ending for yourEaster dinner, light, deliciousand best of all easy to prepare.

By Joseph and' Marilyn Rode1'ick

Last Sunday we took the children to a movie atone of the local theatres. Jason was particularly keen onseeing Pinocchio, a story he is particularly fond of be­cause we have read it to him repeatedly. This Was one ofthose movies which is ad­vertised heavily on televi­sion for a couple of weeksand then shown for oneweekend in a whole region.

I was appalled at what I saw.Pinocchio is a cheap productionmade for a one-shot showing.The color was atrocious, the act­ing amateurish at best, the cos­tuming ludicrous, and the storywarped beyond recognition. Thefilm was made in Europe, Iwould suspect Northern Italy,and English was dubbed in (withvery little concern for synchroni­zation, incidentally).

In essence, the whole thingwas a money-making schemeusing the gullibility of childrenand massive television advertis­ing. I am sure considerably· morewas paid for advertising than forproduction of the film.

Intellectual AffrontI have never been' one who

believes in censorship of adultbooks,. movies and magazine be­cause I have always felt thatadults have both the moral andintellectual responsibility tomake choices. However, as ateacher and a father, I am con­cerned about those things whichaffect my children. In this in­stance there was nothing mor­ally wrong with this picture, butit was an intellectual affront toeven the smallest child.

I am not a crusader but in thisinstance I called the theatremanager to register my com­plaint. His reaction' was .~o be I

expected. He claimed that hehad no control over what wasshown in the theatre and gaveme the name of the film distribu­tors. I have written them a let­ter but I am sure it will be lostin the greenbacks which resultedfrom the two-day showing ofPinocchio. We are not naiveenough to think that it was evenread.

Individuals cannot competewith the force of unseen promot­ers but this individual has vowedthat he will not be caught again.The only thing I have as an indi­vidual that the promoters areconcerned about is money andthat I will deny them!

In the KitchenAlong with the "miracle" of

Spring comes the more miracu­lous wonder of Easter. The sad­ness and remorse of Holy Weekend and once more the world isfilled with the 'new hope of theresurrection.

Dispute Erupts.In Missouri'

PERRYVILLE (NC) - A feder·ally financed mobile art andmusic truck has become the cen­ter of a dispute here between thePerry County school superintend­ent and parochial school groups.

The vehicle. is used at publicschools in the county duringclassroom hours, but is availableto .parochial schools only beforeor after regular school hours andon Saturdays. .

Oscar P. Kasten, county schoolsuperintendent, says this is inconformance with Missouri law.Parochial school officials, how­ever, contend that since federalfunds are involved, they takeprecedence over the state's stat­utes.

Most of the Catholic protest isbeing voiced by i.ndividual par­ents and principals of the Cath·olic schools in the area. SisterMargaret, principal of St. Vin­cent de Paul's parish school here,said many of the county areasare served only by Catholicschools and that most pupils arebused and thus cannot stay afterschqol hours to take advantageof the mobile art and musictruck.

The church-state issue, observ­ers here agree, could very wellgo upward into the appellatecourts, although it is not yet inany court.

Directing his remarks to par­ish Confraternity of ChristianDoctrine instructors who attend­ed the congress, Cardinal Kroldeclared: "The teacher of cate­chism must not only acknowl­edge and respect the rights ofparents but must strive to en­gage the interest and cooperationof the parents in promoting thereligious education of their chil­dren."

"The role of the teacher is asupporting role," he said. "Therole of the parents is a primaryrole,"

"There is a temptation," thecardinal warned, "to chooseamong the treasures of revealedtruth!!; to limit efforts to truthswhich are more popular-, ignor­ing others; to shape these truthsand adapt them to one's' ownmentality, culture and even pettheories-to such a degree thatthe genuine meaning of the,truths is obscured or distorted. .

Priest ClarifiesJewish-ChristianDialogue Goals

MIAMI (NC) - The pur­pose of Jewish-Christian dia­logue is not to fulfill the ul­timate dream of Christianitybut to enable each faith to bet­ter understand its own traditions,a priest told a Jewish congrega-tion here. . _

Father Raymond Brown, S.S.,professor of Sacred Scripture atSt. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore,and consultor to the Vatican Sec­retariat for Promoting ChristianUnity, lectured during an insti­tute for adult studies at GreaterMiami's Temple Israel.

He told the audience that thebitterness which developed earlybetween Christians and Jews"had previously poisoned our re­lationship. Now we are in aunique moment for intelligentdialogue, he said.

"For instance, we now have anhistorical approach to the NewTestament through which we un­derstand better why many of theJews of the first century did notaccept Jesus as the Messiah,"Father Brown stated.

Christian Purpose ,"By an accident in history,

Christians became dominant inwestern culture while the Jewswere persecuted," the priest con­tinued, adding that "this has reosuited in Jews' being somewhatsuspect of Christians when wesay we want to discuss theology.

"What are Christians lookingfor in wanting to discuss theol­ogy with Jews?" Father 'Brownasked. "Many Christian scholarssay we have no intent to Chris­tianize Jews.

"In all honesty," he said,. "I dofeel that the mission to the Jewsin the old sense to convert themto an existing form of Christian­ity is' dead. Often this meant im­posing a non-Jew.ish form of wor­ship on the Jews."

Major ProblemsFather Brown cited three mao

jor problems affecting Jewish­Christian dialogue:

In . theological problems, "ig­norance on both sides,"

A certain exclusiveness in theJewish outlook comparable to an"isolated" attitude prevalentamong Catholics before the Sec­ond Vatican Council.

Jewish demands about theChristian attitude toward Israel.

Father Brown said many Jewsfeel there cannot be dialogue.with Chrisitans who do not ac­cept the state of Israel.

"I feel that a Christian cannotbe indifferent to the fate of theJewish people in Israel and Istrongly condemn any threat ofgenocide," he said. "On the otherhand, to make Christian accept­ance of the political ambitions ofthe state of Israel a condition forthe continuanc~'ofJewish-Chris­tian dialogue is, I think, intoler­able."

Ecumenism Slow·,In Hong Kong

HONG' KONG (NC)-The lackof interest of many .youths andmembers of the clergy here':'­both Protestant and Catholic­is slowing the spread of ecumen­ism in Hong Kong. '

Sister Patricia Francis, M.M.,·secretary of the Diocesan Ecu­menical Commission, explainedthe obstacles to the work of thecommission in ,this way:

"On the level of clerical con­'cern, everybody here seems sobusy with 'catching up' and com­plying with new directives, thatwe seem at times to fall behind.And I think possibly our com­mission could do more to in­crease awareness here. Ecumen­ism demands a priority not givenit."

Many people here think ofchurch unity only in terms of a"return" to the Church, said theSeattle-borin Sister, adding:

"The Catholic Church is veryyoung here. So many people failto understand that ecumenismdoes not mean opening the do'orand asking everybody to' stepout and back a few centuries, toenter the door their forefathersleft. Also, since Christianity isvery young here; people are lesssure of themselves in the matterof faith..

"Often they haven't been'really sufficiently instructed norlived a, 'Christian life' alongtime. time. So it 'is difficult forthem to be suddenly coiicernedwith' what· seems to them. almosta different religion. They are. notready for this yet."

NEW ULM (NC) - Catholiceducation will get a major over­hauling in the New Ulm dioceseduring 1969-70.

Developments to be expected .include: Four parish schools andseveral seventh and eighthgrades will close; At least two,religious education centers will'be established, one at Monte­video and one in the Madison­Appleton area.

A consolidation of school pro­grams will take place amongsome parishes; Nuns will staffseveral schools on an inter­community basis, and in somecases there will be inter-commu­nity living.

Plans to strengthen educationin the Minnesota diocese reflectpopulation decline and a de­creasing number of teachingSisters available.

Under this plan students will'devote two-thirds of their timeto supervised practice of min­istry in the field under the guid­ance of a field supervisor. Stu­dents will be placed, in such sit­uations as pastoral ministries inthe inner city' and in suburbia, ininstitutional chaplaincies,· incommunity organization involve­ments, in clinical programs, incounseling a,nd in any new pat­terns of ministry that develop inthe future.

The student will spend theremaining one-third of his timein elective seminars that willcover the biblical, theological, be­havioral and social fields. Timeis also alloted for workshops inpublic speaking, group work,counseling and teaching that willinvolve closely supervised prac·tice with the laity.

New TheologicaIEducation P~an,

In CaliforniaSAN FRANCISCO (NC)­

Three Catholic seminarieshave joined with six Protes­tant schools of religion inthis California area in anewdesign for theological educationto make the local church an in­tegral part of training for theministry.

Inaugurated by the San Fran­cisco Theological Seminary aUnited Presbyterian institution,the project will become operativenext Fall. It is the result of atwo-year study by a joint stu­dent-faculty committee, the trus­tees and alumni. Rev. Dr. ArnoldB. Come, president, said it is a"completely new philo,sophy oftheological education."

Two Campus Systl2mThe Catholic institutions in­

volved are Alma College, a Jesuitinstitution; the F ran cis canSchool of Theology, and St. Al­bert's College, conducted by theDominicans.

The design hinges on an un-'usual two-campus system inwhich students ,will receive theirbasic theological education inBerkeley in the nine cooperatingschools making up the GraduateTheologicai' Union, and will thenreturn to the SFTS campus fortheir professional training inchurch ministries.

New Design"It is not only wasteful man­

agement but bad education aswell for a number of neighboringseminaries to duplicate the basictheological courses that are com­mon to all Christian commu­nions," Dr. Come said.

"How much 'more stimulating, and informative it is for a be-'

ginning student to cut his the­ological teeto in the company ofLutherans, ,Episcopalians, Uni­tarians, Dominican~, Jesuits,Baptists, Franciscans, than to belimited to his' own denomina­tional insight."

"By the same, token," Dr.Come continued, "we believe thata person learns best about theministries of the church by ac­tually participating in them,thushe will spend one year in a localministry in much the same waythat a medical student interns."

Dr. Come believes this "on'-the­job training" is not simply thekind of volunteer internship of­fered by many seminaries as abreak between the student's sec­ond,and third year but an edu­cational method, basic 'to thewhole 'concept :of the new de,sign. .

Church PropertyOn Tax Bills

SAN ANTONIO (NC) - ACatholic high school whichclosed down last May and 15 lotsowned by the Jewish Congrega-

,tion Agudas Achim were orderedback on the county tax rolls ret­roactive to Jan. 1 by unanimousvote of the Bexar County Com­missioners.

But King Kennon, chief clerkof the County board of equaliza­tion, said that although the for­mer LaSalle High School has lostits tax exemption as a school, itcould qualify for exemption onother grounds, possibly as a non­profit organization. The schoolsite now houses the archdiocesancenter for social communicationsand the Confraternity of Chris­tian Doctrine.

Commissioners indicatcd thatat Icast part of the propertycould be routinely classified astax-exempt once the proper pres­entation is made.

There was no challenge toplacing the 15 Agudas Achim lotsback on the rolls, but the congre­gation is challenging anotherrecommendation of Kennin that10,266 square feet of the syna­gogue's auditorium be placed onthe tax rolls.

According to congregation at­torney Sam Levey, thb auditori­um was rented about 50 timesin 1968, and has been committedfor some 40 times this year, butthe primary purpose of the com­plex is of a religious naturewhich, he said, fulfills exemptionrequirements of the state consti­tution.

PATERSON (NC)-The Beaconnewspaper of the Paterson dio­cese, ended a campaign .for re­lief funds for Biafra when thedrive reached its $20,000 goal.

The drive began four monthsago when officials of the dioceseand the newspaper met withrepresentatives of Catholic Re­lief Services, to which all fundsreceived locally were forwarded.

The goal, originally set at$1,000, was continually revisedupward as readers respondedgenerously to repeated writtenand pictorial appeals.

By Patricia Francis

When Mrs. Lionel P. Amaral of 99 Fruit Street, New Bedford, first went to workin the local Selective Service office, it was strictly "a temporary job." That was 18 yearsago and Mrs. Amaral still is going strong. Now she is executive secretary for theNew Bedford Draft Board. However, times have changed, she admits. A native of NewBedford, Mrs. Amaral, theformer Mary Souza, a life­time member of Our Ladyof Mt. Carmel Church, wasgraduated from New BedfordHigh School in 1942 and thenwent to Washington to workfor the Federal CommunicationsCommission.

After her marriage-her hus­band still was in the Army-shewent to California and was ein­ployed by the Department of theArmy there. After their returnto New Bedford in 1944, shespent a year at Brown Univer­sity and has studied .three yearsat SMTI.

Still later, she was employedin the office of Price Adminis­tration in New Bedford.

Her son Lee, was born in 1948and Mary Amaral stopped work­ing temporarily. Then she tookher "six month" job with Selec­tive Service.

"When I first got it, my hus­band said, 'So you're going to

. be one of those girls I didn'tlike.' He was an inductee duringWorld War II. My two brotherswere, too,"

No ProtestsHowever, she says, despite the

problems that have "erupted' atother induction posts throughoutthe nation, "We've never hadany demonstra,tions or protests,nothing disagreeable enough sothat we've pad to call police.

"Occasionally 'we .:get a fewdelinquents;~but they're 'defyingsociety as a whole, not just us,"

Today, she says, young men ."don't want to' go into the ser­vice, but they know they have toand they want to get it overwith," .

However, she emphasises,"our purpose is not just straightinduction, but. explaining toyoung men how they can fulfilltheir military service obligationin the way best for them.'"

Of all the young men calledup for pre-induction tests shesays, "only approximately 30 to35 per cent pass the physical and.mental exams. Most .of thosewho pass are inducted, theydon't enlist,"

As far as enlistments are con:cerned, "We keep stressingschooling," she says, "We tellboys it's better for them to finishhigh school before they enlist­they can do a lot better thatway."

Men must register with theirlocal Selective Service Boardwhen they are 18, but "they'renot subject to examining unde~

18Y2 and if they're in highschool, we won't touch them un­til they're 20.".

Priests Favor VoiceIn Choosing Bishop

LAFAYETTE (NC)-A major­ity of the priests who answereda survey here favor having avoice in the nomination of candi­dates for the. episcopacy.

This was reported at the semi­annual meeting of the ClergyAssociation of the diocese of La­fayette. Of the more than 300priests of the Louisi~na diocese,150 answered the survey and 95per cent of these indicated theyare interested in participating inthe nomination of candidates forthe episcopacy.

Msgr. Alexander O. Sigur,president of the clergy associ­ation, said the next step would .be to develop some type of pro­gram to submit to the diocesansenate of priests.

Priests to ElectUnity CommitteeFor Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (NC) ­The establishment of a com­mittee for Priestly Unity to"serve as another instrumentof communication betweenpriests and their bishops" hasbeen approved by John Cardinal'Krol of Philadelphia.

The seven-member panel, to beelected by the priests of the arch­diocese from among candidates,proposed by the Council ofPriests, is designed as a group "towhich any priest of the archdio­cese may present his concerns,both spirtiual and tmeporal, hisproblems and reasonable com­plaints."

"It is always understood, how­ever," the document submittedby the Council of Priests and ap­proved by the cardinal declares,"that a priest always enjoys theright of going directly to theOrdinary."

Two pastors, two assistantpastors, one priest in education,one priest in specialized workand one member of a religiouscommunity will form the seven­man board. The members will be"nominated by the Council ofPriests after consultation withtheir constituents and thenelected by the body of priestswith the approval of the Ordi­nary."

"Since the committee is electedby priests and approved by thebishop," the document declares,"it should receive an attentivehearing from both, but its role isalways advisory."

Spirit of GospelThe Committee for Priestly

Unity-a name chosen by thecardinal and by the Council ofPriests as reminiscent of Christ'sprayer for unity at the Last Sup­per-"has as its concern, by com­mission of the Ordinary," thedocument of approval states, "re­lations between bishop and priestand between priest and his fel­low priests."

"It has as its basis," the docu­ment continues, "the spirit of theGospel, which speaks of thepriesthood as a ministry of ser­vice and of love, and of the Sec­ond Vatican Council."

Msgr. Frederick J. Stevenson,vice chairman of the Council ofPriests and chairman of the spe­cial committee which devoted ayear to the study of the proposalsaid machinery for the election ofthe Committee of Priestly Unityhas already been set in motoin.

Nominees are expected to beselected by April 16, he said,while the election is anticipatedearly in May.

"The committee," Msgr. Stev­enson said, "will operate undernorms which have been estab­lished by the Council of Priests."

See Notes DropIn Converts

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Thenumber of converts to Catholi­cism in the five-county Philadel­phia archdiocese during 1968was 44 per cent below the num­ber reported in 1967, chanceryofficials reported.. The 1,107 aaults received into

the Church last year contrastedwith the 1,985 converts reportedin 1967. The 1968 total was al­most 2,000 below the 3,059adults received into the Churchin ]960.

Although a slight increase inthe annual total of converts wasreported during the years of theSecond Vatican C~)Uncil, thenumber of adults received intothe Church in this' area has de­clined yearly since 1965.

The decline in the number ofconversions ·is a phenomenon notpeculiar to Philadelphia, how­ever, although the percentage ofdecline is more marked here thanin many other large dioceses.Since 1960, conversions r~ported

by all American Sees have de­clined from 131,641 to a 1967total of 11 0,717.

Reasons for the decline in thenumber of converts suggested byinformed observers include tur­moil in the church, the material­istic and secularistic philosophyof the age, and unsatisfactoryeducational programs for con­verts.

By Luke SimsIf Tom Barao continues to

improve in' college the' wayhe did in high school, the"University' of Wisconsinshould be a basketball powerwithin the next three years.

The 6-3 New Bedford nativeplayed three seasons of varsitybasketball at New Bedford Highand seemed to improve with age.

In his junior year, Barao ledthe Whalers to a Greater BostonLeague co-championship and in:to the Massachusetts Tech Tour­nament at Boston Garden. Hisplay was so impressive that hewas named the most valuableplayer in the GBL arid wasawarded a berth on the all­league team.

As a senior Tom continued toimprove, both in the publicitydepartment as well as on thecourt.

Publicity carrie early. In a pre­season basketball magazine ­( Basketball Magazine's A 11 ­America) the southpaw shootingforward was named to the fourthAll-American squad. His strongrebounding and 23.3 point-per­game scoring average the yearprevious was enough to impressthe national magazine. A monthlater he was named to an All­New England squad.

Tom didn't disappoint eitherpublication.

As a senior he poured in 563points for a 31.2 ppg average andpersonally led his mates to a

.perfect 12-0 Greater Boston Lea- .gue .season and second champion-

IN TlfE DIOCESE

In New Bedford, Matt Sur­gento, John Donahue and PaulArabasz are going throughtough workouts to get into shapeto pitch Holy Family to theleague title. Coach John Bren­nan's club, which ended the '68campaign with a 5-9 record,should improve this time around.

The three mainstays are BrienLeonardo, Bob Eddy and DaveChace. Leonardo will man thefirst base position. Eddy will beat second and Chace will playeither short or third dependingupon Coach Bob Gordon's choicefrom a host of infield candidates.

Case, which finished in a tiefor third with Westport last sea­son also possesses a fine nucleusfor a contending club. Althoughnot as deep in returning. letter­men as Westport,' the Cardinalshave three-fourths. of their infieldback.

Bibeau's veteran infield in­cludes Manny Cabral at first,Bruce Letourneau at second,John .Souza .at shortstop andPaul Eastwood at the hot comer.Ron Connors will be back behindthe plate. Russ Picard, MikeAndras and Glenn Wood willman the outfield posts.

The surprise team could beMsgr. Prevost High of Fall River.Coach Doug Baxendale has hisentire starting unit returningbut, like most coaches of smallschools, does have a depth prob­lem. The Maple Leafs will haveto play a tighter defense thisseason and must come up withmore timely hitting if they areto thrust themselves into thethick of the league race.

But Seekonk and Somerset arestill the champions. They mustbe beaten 'on the field of actionrathex: than newsprint. Both havethe potential to ward off thechallenge.

The Narry loop has againscheduled its games on Monday,

'Wednesday and Friday withcancelled contests being playedon the following day. In the im­portant season openers Somer­set will be at Westport, Prevostplays at Holy Family in NewBedford, Diman Vocational ofFall River will host. Dighton­Rehoboth and Seekonk will meetCase in Swansea.

Coach Ed Bibeau's Westport. club, which finished'only a singlegame off the pacesetters lastSpring, has his entire '68 startingunit intact. for this year's chal­lenge. A .championship is longover due .for the Villagers. TheBibeaumen can be- counted onto do all in their power to rem­edy the situation this time

Ask Tuition GrantsIn Private Schools

SPRINGFIELD (NC) - A billasking for $50 and $100 annualtuition grants for children innonpublic elementary and sec­ondary schools has been intro­duced in the Illinois legislature.It is the second bill filed herethis year asking help for non·public school students.

The bill was sponsored byRep. Edward J. Copeland of Chi­cago. "'I have concluded that thestate musto.help out the privateschools," Copeland said aftervisits to parochial schools in hishome district.

Holy Family's probable start­ing unit will include first base­man Lou Kateily, Paul Healy andJohn Gushue at 'second and shortrespectively, Steve Paul at third.John Donahue will handle thecatching duties when not pitch­ing. Ray Charette, Dennis Winnand Tom Louis will probably bein the outfield.

The Villagers will field a po­tent offensive attack again thisseason if the returnees measureup to their 1968 output. If theyimprove, they may bat them­selves to a long awaited cham­pionship. In the last campaign,Souza led the attack with a 0408average, with Wood right be.hind him at .375, Eastwood .310,Cabral .286 and Connors .289.All are capable of walloping thebig hit to break a ball-game wideopen.

The big "if" is Westport'spitching. Jeff Hague rates num­ber one with Eastwood gettingthe number two post. They willalso share the third base respon­sibilities. Hague, .who recorded42 strikeouts in 43 innings lastSpring, is shaping up as one ofthe best moundsmen in the. cir­cuit. With a little bit of luckBibeau and his Villagers mayfinally capture the "flag" forWestport.

Little Holy Family' May Be Sleeper

Co-Champions Figure in Tight Race

Seekonk and Somerset, co-champions of the Narragan­sett Baseball League, will be the teams to beat when com­petition begins April 10. The circuit will feature a wideopen race, according to many coaches, with probably fiveclubs battling it out downthe home stretch in late May.One coach opines that "amistake in the early part ofthe season may prove the differ­ence in the final standings. Eachgame must be played as if ,thechampionship depends upon itsoutcome: One game may sepa­rate the first four clubs againthis year."

The co-champions again rateas contenders but no one is con­ceding anything. The infonriedare quick to point out that bothclubs were beaten four times inloop play a y~ar ago. Westport,Case of Swansea and Holy Fam­ily of New Bedford all have thepotential to dethrone the cham­pions.

NEW ULM (NC)-Bishop Al­phonse Schladweiler of New Ulmhas announced that permissionfor Catholics to fulfill their Sun­day Mass obligation on Saturdayevening will be granted to some'parishes which r-equest it.

Bishop Schladweiler, in ..a let­ter to priests of the Minnesotadiocese, .stipulated that such Sat­urday and holy day eve Massesbe celebrated between 5 and 9P.M.

He said application may bemade for this privilege "where areal pastoral need exists."

The bishop received the Jler­mission from the Holy See, on afive-year experimental basis, togrant the privilege where neededbecause of the increasing short­age of priests, he explained.

Radio BroadcastFe~tures UrrbaiUChulrch Leader

NEW YORK (NC)-"Whois to say that the role ofthe priest is limited to thatof preaching from the pul­pit?," Father John McCarthy,assistant directol' of the Divisionof Urban Life of the UnitedStates Catholic Conference, ask­ed on a radio broadcast here.

He said that preaching fromthe pulpit is certainly one of apriest's jobs, but added: "I'mvery proud 'of being able to seelarge numbers of priests, com­mitted lay people, dedicatednuns, firmly involved in the proc­ess of social change."

"A lot of people would like toequate the role of the Church,with, roughly, stained glass win­dows and soft organ music rath­er than speaking out against in­justice and for the developmentof a society in which all menhave dignity and equality," Fa-ther McCarthy said. .

He reviewed the history ofmany of the nation's social prob­lems and said that many ofAmerica's social ills are struc­tural. He explained: "It's notthat an individual man in ·aneighborhood or an individualworking for a company is un­just with those immediatelyaround him.

"It's just that he's unconcern­ed about or not informed about,or feels he's unable to deal withdeveloping a structure or a sys­tem that's more just and moreable to provide for the needs of

all the people," _

Principles, Hssues

The first role of ,the 'Church'in alleviating social problems isto teach its members about "thepasic message of Christianityand'the principles that flow fromit concerning human dignity andthe necessity to develop a justsociety," Father McCarthy said,

He also said: "The Churchnever tries in its teaching' roieto talk about the techniques ofrunning things. It is the roleof the Church, however, to speakon principles and issues."

In his concluding remarks, Fa- ,ther McCarthy said the averagecitizen who wants to help should"have an open heart and a realconcern for the poor and the dis­enfranchised of this nation."
