ChOldren Can, Part6cOpafe,

By Patricia McGowanChristmas is coming! Yes,

but Advent is here, and it isa pity for people to centertheir anticipation on oneday, Dec, 25, and forget thenearly four weeks of anticipa­tion by which the Church leadsus to the Bethlehem manger.

While Lent remains as a sacredseason, Advent too often becomesa period notable merely forrushed shopping, too many par­ties, and, too often, strainedtempers.

As G. K. Chesterton noted:"The Christmas season is do­mestic; and for that reason mostpeople now prepare for it bystruggling in tramcars, standingin queues, rushing away intrains, crowding despairingly

'into tea-shops and wonderingwhen or whether they will everget home. I do not know whethersome of them disappear foreverin the toy department or simplylie down and die in the tea­rooms; but by the look of them,it is quite likely.

"Just before the great festivalof the home, the whole popula­tion seems to have becomehomeless."

The Advent liturgy, with itsatmosphere of hushed expecta­tion, is the perfect counterbal­ance to this pseudo-Christmasspirit. If we will let it, it canpervade our lives for the time

World Peace"As such it knows that there

cannot be true liberty unlessthere is guaranteed the possibil­ity of knowing objectively thegood that alone is capable ofattracting and winning over thehuman spirit," said the highVatican official.

In his discussion of Pope Johnand his pontificate, CardinalCicognani gave special' emphasisto the Pope's desire for worldpeace.

Cardinal 'Cicognani said Pope. John takes great satisfaction

from meeting the people 'who'come to visit him and from talk­ing with them "to acquaint him­self with the problems andanxieties of all, in order to' alle­viate, .help, counsel and, aboveall, to reopen their minds tohope."

He cited the Pope's interest inthe affairs of men and nationsas the inspiration for his recentsocial encyclical "Mater etMagistra."

Problems of LaborIn that document, he 'said,

Pope John "pointed out, thatbalanced and serene solutionwhich leads to a just and peace­ful settlement of the problemsof labor that have caused so

, much, anxiety during the past,hundred .years." ,, "The' Pope even wished toexamine, on the internationalscale, the rights and obligations.of peoples for a balanced distri­bution of wealth and for a cOn­soling enjoyment of the same,"he said.

The Cardinal declared thecoming council, will examine"the problems that are mostpressing on the conscience ofman today, with a view to theirdiscussion and solution, in ac­cordance with" the teaching 01the Gospel.

Cardina~ Cigognani Asserts'No Peace Without liberty'

WASHiNGTON CNC)-Amleto' Cardinal Cicognani,papal Secretary of State, says there can be no peace in theworld without liberty. Addressing the National.Press Club,the former Apostolic Delegate to the United Sltates, notedthat Pope John has made.peace "his symbol and theaim of h,is pontificate, peacewhich is an indispensablecondition for the life and prog-'ress of mankind."

"Without liberty," CardinalCicognani declared, "there is nopeace, but rather a violent impo­sition of things, an unstableorder, not accepted by thehuman mind."

Liberty DefendersCardinal Cicognani praised the

newsmen for their "diligentwork in the service of thosegrand ideals of peace and justice,treasured by people of every ageand in particular bt'those of ourtimes, when these ideals are'especially threatened."

He recalled that Pope J<;>hn,in a recent address to a group ofeditors, called on them to "form"the public by "informing" ttiem.In the same spirit, CardinalCicognani described journalistsas "the .teachers of the 'humanfamily, diffusing ideas and orien­tations which 'reach the mindsand penetrate souls."

"In the mission, delicate andindispensable, which today be­longs to the press, the Unit,edStates distingUishes itself sig­nally, as ,a nation born under thestar of liberty and pledged to

,defend liberty for itself and for,others as a mostpre,cious pos.:.session.

It said that, according to a re­cent report, enrollment in theseschools has increased more thansix times since 1900, as comparedwith public schools, where en­rollment has increased 2.3 timesin the same peri?d.

Two-Year StudYCommenting on these figures,

John W. Gardner, president ofthe Carnegie Corporation, said:"Despite this striking growth ofattendance in the parochialschools, the compilation of fac­tual information has not keptpace, and there has been no re­cent authoritative study of Cath­olic educational requirementsand resources."

In Washington, Msgr. Hoch­walt estimated that the projectwould be a two-year study. Hesaid the findings would ulti­mately be presented in bookform.

,Club chaplain reported here thaton college campuses today thereis "comparatively little religiouspractice, but high· interest 'inreligion."

Father Robert Kavanaugh,Ne'wman chaplain at ,Michigan

, State University, blamed part ofthe problem on the fact thatmo'st religious groups give adol­escents little training in dogma.He spoke at a meeting of 'Sagi­naw diocesan high school teach­ers.

In Professor' Heimann's opin-'ion, the excruciating tension un­der which we live out our livestoday and the mortal danger in

, which we find ourselves vis a visworld communism, "are essen­tially the punishment for, as theyare the result of, our sins."

He adds, however, that thedanger in which we find our­selves is also our providentialopportunity. We have sinned, hesays, by exaggerating individualfreedom at' the expense of thesocial natu're of man, but "ourfreedom," he contends, "how­ever much misunderstood andabused, includes the freedom toperfect our freedom" by com­bining it with social justice.

It will be apparent, then thatProfessor Heimann and Profes­sor Hook have onl! thing in com­mon. They are both very critical"of the past record of Christiansin the field of social reform.

In almost every other respect,however, they are in completedisagreement with one another.Professor Hook is a secularistpure and simple. Religion, forhim, is a myth. Scientific ra­tionalism, he says, is our onlyhope.

, Professor Heimann argues that"society is constituted and heldtogether by religion." He alsoholds that the secularist beliefin scientific reform - divorcedfrom religion "splits societyand is capable of healing it."

The Western world, he con­tends, is living on its religiousheritage and that heritage israpidly being depleted.

The all-important question;he says, is whether or not weare still capable of the "spirit­ual and moral strength" requiredto renew and to strengthen ourreligious heritage. His own an­swer to, this question, like thatof Pope, John XXIII" is on theoptimistic side.

There are some statements inProfessor Heimann's book withwhich Catholic readers cannotbe expected to agree. Neverthe­less, the book as " whole is aremarkable achievement and ,Irecommend it enthusiastically.

Pontiff Confident in· Future'Of Christian Social Action

4

Professor Sidney Hpok of New York University, oneof America's most widely 'quoted secularist philosophers,contends in 'a recent essay on the so-called religious revival.in the- United States that Christianity has absolutelynothing to offer in the fieldof social reform. "The socialprinciples of Christianity,"he says, "have had almost2,000 years in which ~o order theworld on a moral basis. It is notlikely that any­thing new canb e discoveredfrom its prin­ciples or that itssocial g 0 s pelwill succeedbetter in elim­inating war',social distress,and intense fac­tional s t r i fe,than it did dur­irig the histor­ical, periods in which religiousinstitutions enjoyed chief au­thority.", I am not disposed, nor quali- ,

fied, to argue- with ProfessorHook about the past 'record ofChristianity in the field of socialreform. But any amateur is a fairmatch for the professor when hestarts talking about the future.

The future is hidden from the. eyes of Professor Hook just assurely as it is hidden fromyours and mine or from the eyesof Pope John XXIII whose newsocial 'encyclical, "Mater etMagistra" Christianity and SocialProgress has been' received soenihusiastically even by some ofProfessor Hook's colleagues inthe secularist school of thought.

Bas Twofold DesireThere is this difference, how­

ever, between the professor andthe Pope. The prof,essor is per­suaded, a priori, that the socialprogram is inevitably doomed tocomplete failure in the future.The Pope is confident that, withthe help of God, the Christiansocial program will have somemeasure of success in the yearsto come.

His ·two fold desire, he says,and 'his prayerful hope is, this,

'that "The Divine Redeemer ofmen ... inay' reign and triumph,gloriously. throughout the, ages,in all and over all" and that'''human society' being restoredto order, all natioQs may firmly,enjoy prosperity, happiness andpeace."

The Holy Father's optimism isshared, up to a point at least,by the distinguished ProtestantsCholar, Professor Eduard Hei­mann, whose recent book, "Rea­son, Faith and Modern SOCIety"(Wesfeyan University Press,

'Middletown, Conn. $6.,50), is abrilliant rejoinder to ProfessorHook.

To be sure, Heimann is alsovery critical of the past recordof Christians in the field of socialreform. If anything, he goesProfessor Hook one better in thisregard.

"There is little sense," he says,"in blammg the Russians fortheir collectivism unless it isfirst of all realized that it is weWestern nations that have pro­duced it. There is little sense in­deed in blaming one's shadowfor being black.

"It is our corruption whichdrives people, with the inexor­able logic of history, to the op­posite corruption. If this had not· Southeastern Massachusetts'happened in RiJssia, it would Largest Independent Chainhave happened somewhere elsein somewhat different form."

The Russians, he continues,"are the whirlwil)d, but we havesown the wind. Nev~r was there.more reason for contrition, for,fear and trembling in everystep."

Calls on IndustryTo Show WorkerAppreciation

CLEVELAND (NC)-Fr.John F. Cronin, S.S., hasurged management to showappreciation of workers totap the "hidden sources" in aperson.

Father Cronin, assistant direc­tor of the Social Action Depart­ment, National Catholic WelfareConference, said the averageworker wants to feel that he isa part I)f'the firm. He added:

"Employment does not changea man's dignity. A man is notlessened by employment thatmakes him a subordinate."

He emphasized a firm whichrecognizes this and sees theworkers' need for non-economicbenefits will have happier work­ers. Morale is an important partof cost control, he pointed out,

.and consultants often haveshown that morale quickly showsup on the cost sheet.

Father Cronin observed 11"common-sense" approach ofconsultation with employes willbuild up "preventive concilia­tion" and solve a lot of labor­management problems before+.hey became critical.

Rabbi Says- Jews''Eagerly' AwaitVatican Council

'NOTRE DAME (NC) ­Jews look upon the comingecumenical co u n c i I with"eager anticipation," a rabbiwrites in a national Catholicweekly magazine.

. This hopeful attitude is indirect contradiction to Jewishfeelings toward previous coun­cils, says Rabbi Arthur Gilbert in"A Jew Looks at the Ecumeni­cal Council." Jews once fearedsuch councils, he declares, butreccnt popes. have established aprofounder sense of brotherhoodwith Jews.

Ou&lines HopesAmong actions Jews hope to

see come from the Second Vati­can Council, according to RabbiGilbert, is "a clear statement re­nouncing anti-Semitism, definingthe role of Israel in God's eternalpurpose and acknowledging theChurch's relationship to spiritualSemitism through the fatherhoodof Abraham."

"Jews if). America also hopethat there can be further conver­sation on such subjects as therelation of Church and State, themoral use of political power bychurch organizations in shapingthe public' order ' and theChurch's responsibility in char­ity to other faith groups in apluralistic society," Rabbi Gil­bert says.

Keep in ContactA significant stumbling block

to any direct Jewish participa­tion in the council is the factthet'e is no one representativebody "iri existence that could besure of the support of all Jewry,"Rabbi Gilbert declares. Never­theless, he points out, AugustinCardinal Bea, who has beenap­pointed by the Vatican to main­tain communication with otherchurches, has expressed hopeJews will set up a committee tokeep in contact with the VaticanCouncil.

Advent Wasted

It is not too early for people to heed the admonition ofthe Vatican City newspaper, Osservatore Romano, thatgrowing commercialIsm of Christmas threatens to turn thebirthday of Christ into a "pagan bacchanal .•. an insult·tothe poor~"

The newspaper wisely called attention to the oftentimeswasteful and foolish buying.

"Waste is always waste ... Christmas shopping' mustbe an intelligent, measured, sober, useful'thing." ,

Everyone understands and applauds the motive of char­ity and good, will that impels people to give presents atChristmas. Such giving iS"after all, a reflexion in a 4'umanway of the divine giving of the Father, His gift of Christto men and for their salvation.

But when such giving is reduced to solid. ,gold swizzleilticks and mink-lined dog overshoes and' electric back.ilcratchers, then it mocks true c~arity and sincere w~ll­

wishing and becomes the occasion for waste and showingoff.

And such an attitude is indeed·an insult to the ChristWho was born in a stable and to His poor who must do withlittle while those who have much play with money in thename of Christmas. .

Christianity is not devoid of humor-Chesterton oncevoiced the proposit~on that the humor of Christ was so greatthat it could not be described. But humor that condoneswaste while men are in need, humor that forgets the povertyof Christ and His children, this has no place in the Christ­mas scene.

It seems a great pity that while much is made of the~eason of Lent, Advent is given scant at.tention from the:loint of view of penilnce.

Most people make penitential resolutions for Lent andstrive to keep them and are, at least, conscious of theirfault if they fail to live those forty days in a spirit ofsacrifice. ,

But poor Advent is neglected on a monumental scale.The chief resolution taken at its beginning and as it runsits course is to shop early for ,Christmas.

The Church encourages the spirit of sacrifice all year:·ound. She orders it during' Lent-knowing that human:lature needs 'the persuasion of preCept to turn intention:nto'deed. And she surely recommends it during this seasonof Advent." '

Advent, after all, means "coming" and there is no morefitting way for Christians to prepare -for Christmas than byfollowing the pattern established by Mary during the firstAdvent while she awaited the birth of Christ.'

She did not draw,away from daily lif~as most peopletoday cannot draw away. She did not turn her face fromrelatives and friends-as 'most today cannot do. She didnot spurn the ordinary, monotonous daily·t.asks-as mosttoday cannot and should not do. '

, She spent the first Advent prayerfully doing her workI)f cleaning and mending and washing and cooking and .knowing all along that, she waS, through, these actions,forming Christ within herself. .

And Christians must live Advent in that same way-inthe prayerful doing of their daily tasks; in building up the:ife of God, sanctifying grace, within themselves, in

,iltrengthening their union with Christ by doing good andavoiding evil. ' .

And it is a fact that this cannot be accomplished with­out a tearing of the heart froni dissipation and imperfectionand sin. And this, in turn, cannot be effected without sacri­fice, mortification, penance" suffering, doing violence tooneself:

A prominent merchandising operation proudJY,hails the'anniversary of its founding with the phrase, "It's our birth..:,day but you get the pre~ents.'! ' .

Christmas is Christ's birthday and He should get thepresents-of men's lives brought to ,a greater degree of .llnionwith Him through a penitential Advent.' .

What a sad thing- it would be fOf' a Christian to findhimself on Christmas eve with nothing to offer Christ, nOdifference in attitudes or conscience from the'month before.

For these, Christmas is a holiday, not a· holyday.For these, Advent is wasted. .

Jewel Case of ChurchA new and charming baptistry

was provided in the church dur­ing extensive renovations in 1926and 1927. For years Father Noonhad dreamed of making the bap­tistry the "jewel case" of thechurch.

His dream came true throughCarroll and Sally Bill, notedBoston artists, who did the finemurals both in the church and inthe new baptistry.

The figure of St. James, patronsaint of the church, surmountsthe baptismal font. It was de­signed by Matthew Sullivan ofBoston. Made of wood, the' fig­ure was on exhibition at the Mu­seum of Fine Arts, Boston, be­fore it was brought to St. James.

Events which highlighted the early days of St. James Church, New Bedford, werethe first baptism for John McCullough; the first marriage, that of James McNeeley andAnn Lotus; formation of Sunday School classes; organization of the Father Clark SewingCircle and the first confirmation, administered by Bishop Harkness. On May 15, 1890breaking of the ground fQrthe new church took placeand on Oct. 25, 1891 BishopHarkness laid the corner­stone of St. James Church in thepresence of more than 10,000.

Into the cornerstone box wereplaced records showing that LeoXIII was Pope; Benjamin Harri­son president of the UnitedStates; William E. Russell gov­ernor of Massachusetts; CharlesS. Ashley mayor of New Bedfordand Rev. James F. Clark pastorof the church.

Father Noon was appointedassistant in 1900, a year preced- ­ing Father Clark's silver jubileeanniversary. In the next fewyears, ground was broken for theconstruction of the Convent ofMercy, west of the church.

The present church basementwas started in 1891 and the firstservice was held there on May15, 1892. For the next 12 yearsthe basement served as churchand Sunday School room asFather Clark and his parishion­ers worked faithfully to obtainfunds to begin the completionof the building.

,Finally in Fall of 1904, theirhope was realized, sufficientfunds had' been secured andwork on the' upper building wasbegun. ' ,

"The superstructure was com­pletedearly' ,in 1907. In the cen­ter of the front is a tower 175feet in height containing a bel­fry' and surmounted by a cross.On, eitp,er side of the main tOwerthere are two smaller towers.

The church cost in excess of$100,000 and has a seating capac­ity of 1,100. It is 65 feet wide and170 feet long was transept ex­tensions 10 by 29' feet on eachside.

Granite WallsThe walls are of granite ana

rock face ashlar with granitetrimming, The interior of thechurch is exceptionally attrac­tive. Pews, pulpit, altar railingarid vestment cases are of beauti­ful hand-carved oak, the work ofThomas and Company of Worces­ter.

'Within the chancel are threealtars made throughout ot fmestItalian marble. The middle-altar'is 30 feet high and is handsomelycarved.

On one side of the front of thebase is carved a bunch of grapes·and on the other, a sheaf ofwheat. The, inscription' on theside of the altar reads, "Erectedin memory of Michael and MaryNoon .(Monsignor Noon's par­ents) by their loving children."

Father Noon donated the sta­tions of the Cross when he wassenior curate to Father Clark.

The front 6f the church housesthe organ loft and choir gallery.

On Nov. 24, 1907 St. James'Church, regarded as one of themost beautiful in the city, wasdedicated by the late Most Rev.Daniel F. Feehan, Bishop of FallRiver.

The stained-glass windows ofSt. James which portray themysteries of the rosary are re­garded by many as the finest inthe Diocese. The clear reds andblues and sharp greens and' goldsin the stained glass reflect beau­tifully in the sun's daily path.

Father BradyFather Clark died May 24, 1907

and was succeeded as pastor bythe Reverend James J. Brady.After a brief period at St. James,Father. Brady returned to St.Kilian Church, his former pas­torate, and later returned to Ire­land where he died in 1941.

Rev. Mortimer Downing wasassigned as pastor in 1907, and,following his resignation in 1913,Father Noon, a former curate atSt. James, and then pastor of St.William's Church, Fall River,was assigned p'astor.

Several years Jater, in 1916,Father Gallagher was appointedassistant at St. James where hewas to return as pastor 31 yearslater. .

Faith, in Baptism, was a gift,of God, a new power: a relianceon and confidence in God simplybecause He is God. It is a habitby which we easily and automat.:.ically accept some truth becauseHe has taught it--not because Welike or dislike it, not because wecan fully understand it. There'are thousands of things we ac­cept without murmur day afterday, without understanding'them, but on the word of someauthority. What greater author-'ity can there be than God'Almighty! To rely on this un-'changeable and infallible author­ity throughout life is the habitof faith, the gift tended us byAlmighty God at our Baptism.

Faith Questioned

Now through the centuries,this practice, this habit of con­fiding in God was often ques­tioned. Some thought that man'so needed God that there wasborn in man's make-up a feelingfor God. This feeling was forthem faith. Others, would statethat a simple trust in Christ isfaith, nC' matter what one maydo in life. Still others, overly':preoccupied with man's sinful­ness, place no merit even 'in

.faith since it springs from man.:.:­although with the help of God. ', The Church on several occa-' ,

slims clarified the doctrine oi'Christ. The Council of Trent indefining "Justification" showsfaith to be the beginning of jus­tification, the start of salvation;faIth is all-neo::essary but so arethe other virtues of -Christianlife. The 'First Vatican Councilseconded TrEmt but went furtherto clarify the act of faith usingnearly the exact words that' arefound -in our cmort prayer. It isa free act of man's intellect andwill by which we accept certaintruths giv,en us by God becauseof· the' sim,ple fact the HE gavethem to us. St. Pius X went evena step further in explaining that:,faith 'is not a blind sentiment· 'of religion dwelling up fromthe depths of the subconscious, ",under the impulse of the heart, 4

and the motion of a will,trained to morality; but -faith ,"is a genuine assent of the in­tellect to a truth received byhearing from an externalsource. By this assent, becauseof the authority of the su­premely thoughtful God, webelieve to be true that whichhas been revealed and attestedto by a personal God, ourCreator and our Lord.

So it is that Christians of alltimes believe the very samething: whatever God has re­vealed. Why? Because HE hasrevealed it. The Assumption? If'He revealed it, we always be­lieved it. When it is emphaticallyand infallibly shown to us bythe Church that He did in factreveal it to us, that makes itfinal. The Church has addednothing new but has simplyclearly shown that God had infact actually revealed a particu­lar truth to us.

Faith, as a habit, is thereforevery important for us. It shouldbe intensified by a frequentrepetition of the motive for ourfaith-God-as in our prayer.The more intimately close wecome to Christ, the greater willbe our faith, the more easily wewill be able to courageously coli..fess it openly.

Great is the wisdom of theChurch, therefore,in adoptingas a prayer the official declara­tion as to not only the necessityfor faith but even its make-up.Frequent and loving remindersin prayer can only intensify andsanctify our closer union withChrist and keep us free of theever-present danger of wateringdown our faith or refusing our­selves to "press on the brake"when encountered with danger­ous and suspicious theories thatpretend to be religious.

Lotsof·:Love; Prompt AttentionBest Way' to Start Baby's Life

By Audrey Palm Riker

How ,do you give your new baby the best emotionalstart in life? Is there any way to insure a healthy person­ality? No matter what desirable trait you'd like to fosterin your child, you start by giving him attention and af­fection - a feeling of beingloved and wanted. "But,"new parents ask, "what kindof love? Can't you give ababy too much love and spoilhim?" First, a baby needs amother. Not,just any kind of 'mother, and notnecessarily hisnatural mother,but a single,consistent, at­tentive personto care for him.

Psychol­ogists know thatbabies kept in"institutions over>long periods do ,,",,,,,,,,not thrive emotionally. Despiteadequate food and physical care,these children are subject to acontinuous change of nu,rses andattendants and often spend longperiods allme.

As a result, many seem notto be babies at all. Listless andwithdrawn, 'they 'frequently de­velop as troublesome, disturbedchildren, unable either to giveor accept love.

DALLAS (NC)-The Se~

ond Vatican Council mayconv~ne by the end of 1962,but a definite starting datehas not yet been determined. thePapal Secretary of State saidhere.

Amleto Cardinal Cicognani.asked at the Confraternity ofChristian Doctrine congress hereto comment on reports that thecouncil may open on Dec. 9. 1962.said this is not certain.

He told a press conference thata letter formally announcing thecouncil will be sent to all Cath­olic' bishops during this ~hrist­mas season. Such a letter ordeclaration. he explained. iscalled a letter of indiction.

Invite Protestant ObserversThe letter will not set a date,

he stated, but added that HolySee officials in charge of pre­paratory arrangements for thecouncil hope they can finish theirwork within the next 12 months.

In response to another ques­tion. he said Protestant observerswill be invited to the council,but he cannot announce whichchurches will be extended invi­tations.

Asked about charges by someProtestant sects that their effortsin Catholic countries are stifled.he responded that Catholic prin­ciples are clear.

Promote Truth"Religion is to be professed. it

is a right of nature," he said."The Church is guided by thegeneral principle not to offendanybody and to promote truth."

He said. however, that if thereare restrictions on certain sectsoperating in some Catholic coun­tries, these are the result of thereaction of civil authorities to"civil disorders" created by sectswhich disrupt the traditionaltranquil atmosphere. I

Asked to comment on persecu­tion of Catholics in communistCuba. Cardinal Cicognani, said:"We must be optimistic aboutthe final outcome. ho'wever sad­dening it is today, 1;lecause weknow they have been baptized inthe name of the Holy Trinity andthey have' in their souls thisindelible mark."

God Love YouBy Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D. D.

In the Missions, the progress of, the Church is Judged bJ'conversions; in the United States, it is sometimes Judged by newbuildings. The emphasis in the Missions is alwayS pastoral;in the United States there are some who claim it is on admbiis­tration. 'To say the diiferenee between the two lsbetween soulsconverted and buildings erected would, however, be utterlyfalse. It just· happens thai mission' lands are poor, and our landIs rich. Prosperity has techniques which are denied ,adversity.The impoverished ,Church is neeessarily a shepherding Church;the prosPerous Church is a' shepherding ODe, but. to & creal

They needour money to learn to administer; we 'need their SPirit In orderto be moreevangeliea1.'

Missionaries in Africa, Burma, India and elsewhere receivean average of only 20 cents a day from the Holy Father on whichto live, travel; build churches 'and schools.We in the United States often speak of oneschool in terms of a million dollars. Thedifference between the Body of Christ inmission lands and in our own is enormous.But the ansWer is not to level off our ad­ministration so that our hospitals are nobetter than the dispensaries in ,Burma.

Diocesan High Schools Planning'Attractive Christmas ProgramsFor Parental Entertainment

By Daniel J. DelaneyUnited States is confronted today with the worst era of

lawlessness in its histor'y. The human suffering caused bylawbreakers is limitless. The financial cost-22 billion dol­lars every year-is staggering. Thus the conclusion is clear.Never before has there beensuch an urgent need fordedicated young. men andwomen to enlist in the waragainst the crime colossus inAmerica. Never before has ournation so needed the support ofall its citizens to maintain andimprove our standards of moral­ity.

New recruits, well-trained andunswerving in their devotion tojustice, are critically wanted. Tothese young people, the boys andgirls enrolled in the 12 highschools in our Diocese, the lawenforcement profession offers alife of challenging, dedicatedservice to community and tocountry.

Life and PropertyThe leading law enforcement

officer in the United States, J.Edgar Hoover, director of theBureau of Investigation, statesthe duties and responsibilities ofa law enforcement officer:

"He protects life and property,preserves the peace, preventscrime, detects and apprehendsviolators of the law, and safe­guards the rights of the indi­vidual, while enforcing laws andordinances."

According to Mr. Hoover, thepersonal qualifications f9r lawenforcement work are, "soundhealth, physical stamina and aplentiful supply of courage;emotional stability to cope withcrises; ability to work with oth­ers as a team, and, above all else,integrity, unimpeachable and ab­solute."

Minimum RequirementA high school education is the

minimum schooling required bymost of the 40,000 law enforce­ment units throughout the na­tion. College courses that canprove most valuable to a boy orgirl contemplating entering thisprofession are American History,sociology, psychology, chemistrr,physics, criminology, civics, gQV­ernment, English, report writing,business law, economics, publicspeaking, physical education.,typing and shorthand.

Band FestivalMr. Hoover, in a plea to high

school boys and girls, says, "I canthink of no career that can offerthe individual a greater sense ofaccomplishment. than law en­forcement." Certainly, there arefew others as significant ,to thewelfare of our nation In theseanxious times.

The Coyle High School Bandwill again participate in the sec­ond annual CYO Band Festival 'of the Archdiocese of Boston.The Sunday, Dec. 10, festival atthe Donnelly Memorial Theatre,Boston, will host eight bands,each of which will present ashort program of their own selec­tions. The program will featurea combined. band of symphonicsize. The Taunton all-boysschool's contribution will be Le~

The centuries oldDominican system of educationand curriculum, faculty, and allextra-curricular activities arejudiciously consolidate,d to ac­complish this end.

The .college gives every stu­dent an acquaintance with vari­ous fields of knowledge, in oneof which she must attain a de­sirable degree of proficiency toqualify for her degree.

By integrating knowledge andrelating it to its Source, the col­lege endeavors to establish afoundation for the developmentof independent thought, inspiredby a love of truth and justice.To this end the curriculum in­cludes courses in theology andscholastic philosophy, consideredfundamental to work in all otherdepartments.

Subsequently, in1904, they staffed St. Mary'sSchool in the same city and in1925 founded Albertus MagnusCollege.

Nuns Must ShowOwn ImportanceIn Society

CLAYTON (NC) - It'stime for nuns to give the lieto propaganda that picturesthem as well-meaning butrather unimportant instrumentsof the work of the CatholicChurch, an official of the Na­tional Sister Formation Confer­ence said here in Missouri.

Sister Annette Walters, exec­utive secretary of the conference,asserted that the image of thenun now in the minds of manyAmericans is just the .oppositeof what the nun's role must be.

"The propaganda literatu'reunleashed against th~' Churchduring the last decade," shestated, "has almost always pic­tured the Sister as a kind­hearted, well-meaning but un­thinking slave of a malevolenthierarchy.

Sorry for Sisters"While much of this stems

from violently anti-Catholic or­ganizations, some of it in a more.subtle form comes from, well­meaning Protestants who admireand often revere Sisters but atthe same time feel sorry forthem.

"It is our responsibility as Sis­ters, as public and official repre­sentatives of the Church, to givethe lie to this propaganda by ourintelligent and reasoned exerciseof our corporate apostolicwork."

Sister Annette said that nuns'work for the salvation of soulscan no longer be limited by ·thedimensions of classrooms. "Itmust penetrate the adult worldwhere policies and decisionsaffecting the adaptation of theChurch to the needs of our timeare made," she added.

"Sisters will not be able to ful­fill the mission which the Churchconfides in them," she conclUded,"unless they are educated in sucha way as to play leadership rolesin their associations with adults."

Albertus Magnus College, New Haven, Conn., a four year liberal arts institution andthe first Catholic women's residential college in New England, was founded in 1925 by theDominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs, Columbus. The college is under the patron­age of St. Albertus' Magnus, Dominican friar, Bishop of Ratisbon, teacher at the Univer­sity of Paris, founder of theUniversity of Cologne, apioneer in experimental sci­ence, one of the g rea tphilosophers of the Middle Agesand teacher of St. ThomasAquinas.

Producers' Obligations

Two newspapers, the IrishCatholic and the Irish Standard,both commented editorially onthe' statement and have run aseries on the obligations of tele­vision producers each week intheir editorial pages.

The Catholic Standard com­mented that Ireland has an ad­vantage in starting television ata late date. This enables it tolearn from the experience ofother nations, the' paper said.

It also gives it the guidance ofthe Church as expre,ssed in PopePuis XII's encyclical on televi­sion, radio and the movies, Mir­,anda Prorsus, and in Boni P~s­

said, it is a mistake to believethat the child cannot understandthe doctrine of the IncarnateWord and that Christ therefore'must be presented "as someoneless. than, God become man forour salvation."

"FrolJ1 the very beginning ofhis catechetical training,", hesaid, "the Christ of whom thechild learns must be the Incar­nate Son of God, not just 'a holychild, 'a kind man, or a brilliantteacher."

In teaching observance of theTen Commandments, the instruc­tor Should realize this is the"first end of catechetical train­ing, but it is 'not by 'any meansthe total end," Archbishop Vag-nozzi stated. .

Role of Catechist... The child, he continued, should

be helped in finding the sourcesof strength needed to maintainthe Commandments. The cate­chist can furnish such help, headded, "if he leads the child topartake of the spiritual strengthwhich comes from a sacramentallife and from a strong devotionto Mary Immaculate, the motherof us alL"

Of the third element, the vir­tue of charity, the Archbishop.said the catechist should notdrive the child toward goodnesswith motives of fear, but -"leadthe child to the sincere accept­ance of the Christian life and toa personal commitment to Christas to his most merciful Saviourarid most loving friend."

Speaking of the qualifications'of catechists, the Archbishopcalled for extensive involvementof priests in CCD efforts.

Need for Priests."While there should be no

lessening of our efforts to enrollmore and more 'laborers in thisapostolate," he stated, "it wouldbe a mistake to conclude thatthis activity could be left exchi-sively to lay teachers. '

"They may "ave great enthusi-, asm for their labors and may

possess the required knowledge;but all else being equal they can­not be as competent or as effec-_.tive as priests themselves," heconcluded.

WASHINGTON (NC)-AState Department officialsaid here that promotingbirth ~ontr!>l in underdevel­oped countries "certainly is nota policy objective of the UnitedStates Government.". William Nunley. special assist­ant to Under Secretary of StateGeorge W. Ball, declared thatthe U. S. will not make popula­tion control a condition of for­eign aid to other countries.

Nunley, who stressed that hewas not speaking in a personal.capacity but was presenting "thecurrent attitudes of the Depart­ment of State," spoke at a session

. on population problems duringthe National Conference on In­ternational Economic and SocialDevelopment.

The same session heard St.Louis University sociologistFather John L. Thomas, S.J., de­clare that Catholics advocate a"multi-faceted approach" . tosolving population problems andinsist on the duty of rich nationsto aid underdeveloped nations.

C. S. Krishna Moorthi, eco.,nomic minister of the Embassyof India, said his government re­gards its population control ef­forts as "matters of internal mo­'Jilization, not of foreign aid."

Nunley told the meeting,rep­resenting U. S. voluntary foreignrelief· agencies, that he did nothave "the slightest idea what wewill be doing one year or ·10years from now" in the popula­tion field.

But, he added, "there· arecertain things which I feel cer­tain that the United States Gov­ernment will not do.

"We will not attempt to im­pose pOpulation controls upongovernments or peoples. We willnot make population control acondition of our economic assist­ance .to other countries. We willnot advocate any particular tech­nique of population control inpreference to other.techniques."

As a three-letterman at Dur­fee, Dick .made a good enoughaccount of himself to become therecipient of the coveted TomGastall award during his Senioryear.

In baseball Dick was a fearedpitcher until he developed armtrouble and was forced to changeto other positions on the dia­mond. He has played for St. Pat­rick Church CYO teams, for theCYO Suburban League, and wasa pitcher on the Stafford Postnine which went undefeated intothe American Legion State tour­ney finals in 1958.
