and with a sense of our respon­sibility as supreme pastor of theholy Church of God. Only thencan we express our judgementin their regard, a judgement thatwill be promptly communicatedto you."

He then announced his accept·ance of the three resolutions in­dicating "to you what confidence''we have in this instituti<:m(synod)."

The bishops in the synod ac­cepted the resolutions by the fol­lowing vote:

"Yes"-40"Yes with qualifications"-13Personal answers-87"No"-oThe resolutions follow:1. On the basis of the princi­

ple of subsidiarity, it is desiredthat it be specified more clearlywhich are the competencies ofthe bishops either singly or asmembers of bishops' conferences.

2. Keeping intact the freedomof the supreme pontiff to exer­cise his own universal power,the Eastern-rite synods and thebishops' conferences will mani­fest their own concern regardingthe more serious problems of theentire Church by being disposedto offer their collaborations' tothe Holy Father, particularly inthe preparation of documentsconcerning unity of faith and ofdiscipline; on their part theEastern-rite synods and the bish­ops' conferenc~s, before publish­ing their own statements will ex­plore the opinion of the Pope.

3. Means should be studiedfor fostering a more intimate col­laboration between the Romancongregations on the one handand the Eastern-rite synods andbishops' conferences on theother.

4. The exchange of communi­cations between the same con·gregations and the Eastern-ritesynods and the bishops' confer­ences should be improved:

5. Regarding more particularquestions, dealing with the in­ternal life of a diocese or an ec­clesiastical region, the localbishop or, the regional bishopswill be heard before any decisionwill be taken.

6. The decrees of the HolySee, before being published,should be communicated to the

,bishops, at least substantially,and also the motives will be ex­plained which suggested such apublication.

7. The Holy See will take careof publishing in various lan­guages both the documents ofthe Holy See and the documentsof major importance issued byEastern-rite synods and bishops'conferences.

Pope Paul VI said he gave"Maximum consideration" to the 13 resolutions "with great pleasure even more than asa clear. duty." The Pope ac­cepted-even before the fi­nal votes were in-that:

1. A synod would be call­ed regularly once in every twoyears, beginning from this year.

2. Development and extensionof the functions and role of thenow passive permanent secre­tariat of the synod.

3. Consideration of the possi­bility of the bishops proposingsubjects to be discussed at fu­ture synods.

The Pope also reiterated thenature of this synod as "extra­ordinary" but explained that itwas so "because it was intendedfor the solution of preliminaryquestions with regards to thefuture development of churchgovernment". '

Weighs Success, CriticismOf Bisho'psi' Rome Synod

With the Second Synod of Bishops now a matter ofimportant Church history and another chapter in the lifeof Vatican II, Bishop Alexander Carter of Sault Ste. Marie,head of the Bishops' Conference of Canada outlined theresults of the bishops' de­liberations. Long termed aleader of the synod and fair- ­ly easily termed a liberal, helisted the accomplishments ofthe synod along positive andnegative lines.

On the positive side, the Bish­op listed the accomplishments:

1) There was more unanimityfor the need for the greater exer­cise of collegiality.

2) Establishment of a struc­tured synod, synods to meet ona regular basis.

3) A new awareness amongthe bishops of special needs andof sharing of responsibility.

4) Coming to a deeper real­ization of the implications of co­responsibility, right down theline, even to the local church.

Views Society and .ChurchIn Age of Over-Reaction

PORTLAND (NC)-This is an age of over-reaction,both in the secular society and the Church, .ArchbishopRobert J. Dwyer of Portland in Oregon asserted here. "Weare over-reacting to everything," he told a district conven­tion of Serra Clubs Inter-national, "and it threatensto destroy the society inwhich we live."

The same over-reaction whichis affecting today's secular so­ciety affects the contemporaryChurch, he said. He agreed therewere some things lacking "in theChurch of yesterday" and that itwas a "good thing to introduceinto the Church and the lives ofits people new methods."This was the work of Vatican

II, a necessary action to definethe Church in the world, he said.

Danger.......-·'Eut there is a danger here of

over-reaction," he said. "Thatdanger is to carry the Churchbeyond the ideal of the Vaticancouncil - to make the Churchsomething strange. This is thenightmare of Pope Paul - goingbeyond what is sane and soberso that the restraints, of theChurch's authority are tossedout the open window."

"True, the liturgy should be agrowing thing, but it should notbe allowed to become a wildweed," he added. "Like all pro­ductive enterprises, it needs di­rection."

Turning to the social field,Archbishop Dwyer said "weshouldn't turn ourselves into asociety of sociologists." Certain­ly, he said, "social problems arevery real, but they are not thewhole sum of life. Sociology isnot a substitute for religion andthose who assume it is are over­reacting. No modern advancehas taken away the supernatu­ral."

"Perhaps authority in theChurch has been abused in the

Pla,n to Overhaul.Divorce System

SACRAMENTO (NC) - Cali·fornia's divorce system will beoverhauled Jan. 1 when a newlaw, signed by Gov. Ronald Rea­gan, goes into effect.

The measure eliminates mosttraditional grounds for divorceand is designed to remove someof the bitterness.

Incurable insanity and. irrec·oncilable differences will be theonly grounds for divorce in Cali­fornia starting next year.

Eliminated is the concept. offault, or the finding of one partyguilty of sending the marriage inthe rocks. Gone forever are thE~

former grounds of extremecruelty, adultery, desertion, wil·,ful neglect, habitual drunken­ness, or conviction of a felony.The only holdover ground isinsanity.

Urges ReligiousLeaders ReJectBlack Demands

NEW YORK (NC) - Thehead of ·the 'Nat.i,<?n.a.t Asso~"ciation ~or the Advancementof Colored People 'urged thecountry's major religious leadersto reject black ,demands for"reparations" but to give finan­cial support to groups such asthe NAACP.

Roy Wilkins, NAACP execu­tive director, sent a letter inSeptember to the Catholic car­dinals in the United States; theheads of three major nationalJewish organizations; leaders ofthe major Protestant denomina­tions and others in the NationalCouncil of Churches.

In his letter, Wilkins did notname James Forman, a militantwho has led the demand for"reparations" to be paid Negroesby religious institutions in com·pensation for the years of Negrooppression, He referred only to"reparations," and said that theNAACP's opposition to this wasbased entirely "on philosophicgrounds."

'Share,' 'Delusion'Wilkins said "the knowledge

that no amount of 'reparations'conceivably payable by the na­tion's churches can either com·pensate for the Negro's wrongsor bring him into the just andequal society he seeks" was ofat least as much concern.

Wilkins called "the reparationsidea" a "snare and a delusionwhose inevitable failure wouldhave disastrous consequences.""A genuine solution," he said,"demands the massive use ofpublic funds. . . ."

He added that this did notmean that the churches wereabsolved of a "moral obligation."

He said: "To give money toblack claimants who are withoutcredentials or competence fortheir professed aims is to showcontempt for black Americansge!lerally, because it says that,w~ere Negroes are concerned,incompetence and mediocrity areacceptable standards."

Pros and ConsContinued from Page One

, an immediate level without in­termediaries.

9) Introduction of languageworkshops as contrasted in thepast meeting with a too formal­ized approach lacking directcontacts.

However, on the negative side,the Canadian Bishop also had

, some criticisms:1) The notion of collegial ac­

tion is still uncertain in the formthe present synod was taken.

2) Despite good intentions,the thinking of this synod is stilltoo juridical and hierarchical, and,in terms of structures and need,must become more responsive tohuman demands and less jurid­ical.

3) The synod is still an exten­sion of papal primacy; an officeof advice and consultationrather than an instrument of col­legiality; the bishops participate,by invitation rather than -in theirrole as bishops and as membersof the college of bishops.

4) There is need for betterwork methods; direct questionsget asked but no one seems tohave an answer for them.

5) The pretense of secrecyshould be abolished because itgives a false impression; all in­terventions by synodal fathersshould be made available to thepress immediately and complete­ly and the bishops should beavailable to answer questionsabout their statements.

6) Procedural matters must beimproved, they are unsatisfac­tory.

Leo Cardinal Suenens of Ma­lines-Brussels, Belgium, describ­ed the past synod in more illus­trative terms: "The synod is offthe ground. It is like an elevatorwhich has arrived at the thirdfloor but must go to the 10th.Seen from the 10th floor, it hasa 'long\\'ay to g!?" " '"

The eve of the bishops' synod in Rome seemed to setthe stage for a real fight. Two camps were being fortified:the s'o-called pro-papal conservatives and 'the pro-collegialprogressives.

, Secret plans were supposed to be under way; "digni­fied" episcopal demonstrations were to be held; the Curia­controlled proposals would be proclaimed anathema; thePope would once again preside from the throne insteadof as simply one of the bishops.

Yet, as soon as the work was undertaken, a sub­stantial agreement was felt on the Pope's right' to re~ch

decisions that bind the whole Church and on the opportune­ness and desirabiHty of active participation, of the world'sbishops in decision-making. '

There were no two camps meeting each other in battle.There were men of different persuasions, with differentproblems, but with one sincere love for the Church. Allwere willing not to bargain and win but to learn, to seek,'to make more effective the Church of today.

All the problems are not solved but thanks. to thegenerosity of both men and the Holy. Spirit, there was acrystalization - a contribution of the best from all sides.There now remains much to 1>e done but by all, the wholeand not by self-satisfied polarized groups.. .

The methods, the self-sacrifice, the interest in theother's problems, the faith and reliance on .God, may well,have showed the way not only to a real collegiality butto the manner of solving their own problems be they inshops, parishes or ,homes.

Leo Cardinal Suenens, with strong opinions on theelection of the Pope by the bishops instead of the cardinalswas the first to agree to his fellow bishops' decision thatthis in the light of the problems of today is "secondary".

The sooner we realize that various groups, no mat­ter what their vociferous,' news-making headlines say,have the common good at heart, then the sooner rivalrieswill blend 'into a concentrated and crystalized effort atcommon good.

For this, no matter what the stage, no matter whatthe emotions, our ears and sensitivies must always beopen.

The young must see in the long dedicated years ofthe old a common endeavor, toward the good ,of thewhole Church or diocese. The old must see in· the en­thusiastic responses of the young a love for the sameChu~ch or diocese which they have been serving, in theirown way over the years.

, ,

, No matter what the newness of methods' entails, it isthe good of the whole, that must prevail. Sincerity' 'withour own opinions and with our 'love for' the, Church mustprovoke', in all not only a vociferous opinion-making butalso a real self-sacrifice, a real concern for one anot~er.

"If Christians and Jews con­tinue to· refuse to create astrong interest group represent­ing nonpublic school childrenand their parents," he empha­sized, "they are condemningchurch-related schools to theguillotine."

Cold Political Fact

The legislator reminded theschool principals that Catholicschools are now in financialcrisis. Some bishops, he said,"seeing no solution to thecrises, have exclaimed that 'ifpublic funds are not forthcom­ing, there is no alternative butto close the schools.' "

The change was made by thePittsburgh Catholic InterracialCouncil in letters sent. to theU. S. Department of Health, Ed­ucation and' Welfare and thePennsylvania Human RelationsCommission.

The Interracial Council whichhas been at loggerheads with di­ocesan officials here over therace issue, has asked the govern­ment agencies to investigate ra­cial imbalance in parochialschools and to determine wheth­er they should perhaps be de­nied federal and state aid.

COLUMBIA (NC)-State'Rep.George Donegan, at a meetingof secondary school principalshere in Misouri, called for de­velopment or organization of"interest groups" as the onlyway enough votes can be "put.together" on an issue as contro­versial as tax funds for non­public education.

Only such a group. he said,can make it politically possiblefor lawmakers to vote for a con­troversial measure without"committing political suicide."

, Donegan contended that "prac­tical politicians" consider inter­est groups indispensabte to theAmerican democratic system.Such groups, he said, inform andeducate the public, thus forminga public opinion; provide infor-.mational data to lawmakers; or­ganize citizens at the grass-rootslevel; inform their members' andinspire their political activities;keep. voting records of publicofficials for the information ofthe people, thus making respon­sible government possible.

Birth Control StirsChurch Protest

BOGOTA (NC)-The launch­ing of a nationwide birth con­trol program by the govern­ment's Colombian Institute ofSocial Security has broughtstrong protests from the Bogotaarchdiocesan chancery officeand the "Catholic weekly, ElCatolicisma.

The paper said PresidentCarlos Lleras Restrepo has failedto fulfill an agreement "that, inthis matter, the governmentwould proceed in accord withthe Church authorities,"

The program, El Catolicismosaid in an editorial, encouragesCatholics to ignore the ban onartificial birth control methodscontained in the encyclicalHumanae Vitae of Pope Paul VI.

A spokesman for the chanceryoffice supported the El Catoelicismo editorial. and said thatthe birth control program "is amockery and a challE'!nge."

Give New RitesFor Funerals

vATICAN CITY (NC) - TheHoly See's Congregation for Di- .vine Worship has published thedefinitive edition of the new or­der for "further improved" fu­neral rites, based on observa­tions throughout the world.

The "ordo exsequiarum" willreplace the present' rites onJune I, 1970, or earlier in someareas, depending on the decisionsof each bishops' conference.

"Experiences in various partsof the world guarantee the pas­toral effectiveness of the rite,now further improved on thebasis of observations received,"the Congregation announced.

The new rites "must expressmore openly the paschal natureof Christian death and be morein keeping with the conditionsand the traditions of the individ­ual regions," the Congregationadded.. One of the sections of the

new ordo deals with the funeralof children whose parents wereChristian but who died withoutbeing baptised.

The texts contain-as is cus­tomary now in renewed liturgicalbooks-a larger portion of bibli­cal readings, orations, litaniesand admonitions suitable foradapting the celebrations to"various situations."

Change-Not CrisisTexas Prelate Deplores Defeatist Attitude

Toward Catholic EducationSAN ANTONIO (NC)-Arch­

bishop Francis J. Furey of SanAntonio said here that. Catholiceducation is in the midst ofchange, but not in crisis.

Although there are problemsof personnel and financing, hesaid, it is a mistake to over­stress them as insurmountable.

the Texas prelate, speaking tomore than 1,000 instructors atthe annual archdiocesan Teach­ers;' Institute' here' acknowledged:"We have some problems in ourschools. We all know this; butI think we concentrate too muchon them. It is a big mistake toconcentrate on the problems weface in every area of life today,"

The archbishop said "we arein a period of change in Catholiceducation, not of crisis; andchange in itself, is not a badthing. We have to aQapt our­selves to the times in which welive, and this holds true for' ourschools, too,"

Enrollment in archdiocesan.schools is down for the sixthconsecutive year, ArchbishopFurey said, but the decreases"are nothing new and nothingunique" to the archdiocese. Hesaid he, does not regard thesedrops as unusual.

Negotiations are still indef­inite. Therefore, with or with~

out Vietnam, military costs maygo senselessly up.

The second reason is that thetax bill now before the 'Senatemay reduce federal tax revenueby at least 7 billions before1972. This alone is enough vir­tually to cancel Professor Burns's$8 billions.

Another reason is that cal·culations made recently in theTreasury bear out Dr. Moyni­han's fear that rising costs in alarge number of existing pro­grams, including President Nix­on's very valuable scheme fora minimum guaranteed income,may swallow up any' savings re­leased by peace in Vietnam.

No Hope?So must we conclude that the

United States is about to enterthe Seventies with virtually nohope of dealing more effectivelywith the accumulated miseries atthe base of American society?

The answer is" of course,'"No." What all'the calCulationsabout "pe~ce dividends", leaveout is the fantastic capacity ofthe American economy to goon growing.When the Governorsof all the United States met re­cently, Governor Nelson Rocke­feller put before them calcula­tions of growth within the econ­omy which, by 1976,-two hun­dred years after independence­would give an annual increasein federal revenue of $20 bil­lions a year.

Even if we reduce the figureto cover possible tax reductions,it is still possible' to calculatethat perhaps $200 billions.of ex­tra revenue will have been cre­ated over the next seven yearsby . the fact of steady growth.

This is the point at which theattitude of Christian citizens canhave a direct effect on the avail­ability of resources to combatmisery and, ill health and slum­living and despair.

If citizens insist that' this"growth dividend"~s it is call­ed-must be devoted to the fund­amental needs of poorer citizens,there is hope that by 1976, thepromise inherent in Amerieanlife, the promise thAt all citizens, 'can have the chance to, pursue'happiness, may look a little lessdoubtful and shabby than it doestoday. , ' ' .,.',

The temptation to. forget theneeds of the minorities will bevery great. If part of this rev­enue is passed onto the States,state governments will be tempt­ed to court popularity by simplyreducing the contribution of af­fluent citizens.

The example may be followedat other levels-in which case,the growth of the next sevenyears will go, not to remedy thedeep evils and distreses of thevery poor but to add still furtherto. the comfort ,of the alreadycomfortable.

The broken men will stay inthe ditch. We shall "pass by onthe other side."

YORK (NC)-A school systemadministrator challenged teach­ers of religion to make theircourse as popular as a school'sathletic program, band or dramaclub.

The goal must be attained ifthe religion teachers expect todo a successful job" Msgr. JohnT. Doherty; associate superin­tendent of schools for the Nevi

"If developing enthusiasmamong students and the entirefaculty for religious .instruction'cannot be a reality, then we riskallowing ourselves to becomeisolated from the rest of theschool community," the mon­signor said.

Recent history of catecheticshas put the religion teacher inthe role of' a specialist, Msgr.Doherty said, but "I think thetime has come to re-insert therole of religious teacher into thetotal life of the school and in­vite every faculty member backinto the religious educationthrust." '

Let us continue the search for the revenue neededto break some of the deadlocks of poverty, poor eduactionand miserable housing which condemn racial minoritiesin the United States to sub-American standards and alsocreate a frightening gulf intowhich poorer white citizensfear to fall back. This lackand this fear are at the rootof some of the deepest racial ten­sions in contemporary society.Cure them andthe chance ofovercoming hos­tility and poten­tial violence isat least verymuch improved.

One of thepotential areas·of new revenuelies in restrain­ing the franticlevels of ex­penditure ~pon

arms. But here ere are con­siderable confusions on whichcitizens have the right to de­mand some clarification.

If the war in Vietnam came toan end in the next year, wouldthere be a "peace dividend"­a sum of public money availablefor non-military programs?

In the last few months, Dr.Daniel Moynihan, the President'sadviser on Urban Affairs, hassaid that any saving would belikely to be absorbed by therising cost of other programs.'Then Professor Arthur Burns,the President's Economic Ad­viser, said that, on the contrary,there would be perhaps $8 bil-lions for new programs. "

Just DreamsThen the President himself

said that "dreams of unlimitedbillions" relased by the end of

. the war were just dreams. Ex­isting claims would gobble upthe "dividend."

This is a pretty confusing start.But there are a number of rea­sons for believing that, givenpresent circumstances, the Pres­ident could be close to the truth.These reasons are, first of all,that ending the Vietnam Waris only part of the problem.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J.Gumbleton of Detroit empha­sized that protecting the right ofpersons through legal matchinery"doesn't weaken the power ofthe bishop; in fact, ,it' actuallyincreases his effective leader­ship."

He so quoted his superior,John Cardinal Dearden of De­troit, president of the NationalConference of Catholic Bishops

The ad-hoc committee on dueprocess, made up of eight priestsand three laymen, headed byFather Robert T. Kennedy of theNew York archdiocese, empha­sized that due process, while notnew in the Church, needs struc­turing in a time of change.·

C~urch LeadersIn New EnglandHold Mee.ting

PLmOUTH (NC)-A cair-. fora'''new .second genera­tion ecumenical structurewhich would provide aforum for ,discussion of doctrinaldifferences" was made here dur­ing a "summit meeting" of 85high-ranking leaders of Christianchurches in New England.

Father John F. Burke, ecumen­ical commission chairman of theCatholic diocese ,of Worcesterand chairman of the planningcommittee of the conference,said it was "specifically designedto be exploratory, rather thandecision-making in character,"

"It was intended to bring to­gether the New England churchleadership so that they could,first of all, get to know eachother, and secondly so that theycould exchange ideas and infor­mation regarding possible areas,9f future cooperation," he ex­plained.

One development of the meet­ing was the proposal of Rev. Dr.Nathanael M. Guptill, conferenceminister of the Connecticut.Conference of the UnitedChurch of Christ, for the crea­tion of a new ecumenical struc­ture in New England whichwould allow discussion of doc­trinal differences and serve "asa power base for Christian ser­vice and witness to the world onmatters where there is commonagreement."

Steering. CommitteeThis and other suggestions

made at the meeting will be dis-'cussed further by a 12:-membersteering committee created onthe final day of the meeting.

Father Burke said the steeringcommittee had been instructedto convene another consultation"within approximately a year,but with the understanding thatbefore then the views and/oraction of the chief executives ofthe judicatories in New Englandmay be solicited by mail."

Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan ofWorcester, a member of the U. S.Catholic Bishops Committee onEcumenical and ~nterreligious

Affairs, who' sent out the invita­tions to the meeting here, wasnamed chairman of the steeringcommittee. .

This was the first meeting ofits kind-bringing together bish­ops of the several New Englanddenominations, executive secre­taries of conferences and presi­dents of senates. Previous inter­faith New England meetings,Father Burke explained, were at­tended largely by "secondaryleaders."

Canonists Advocate'True Collegium'

CLEVELAND (NC) - Risingdissatisfaction with practicesranging' from the Holy See'sclosed-door handling of canonlaw reform to lack of local levelco-responsibility has been citedby the Canon Law Society ofAmerica at its 31st annilal meet­ing.

Some 320 canonists represent­ing the society's 1,200 membersendorsed a resolution offering tohelp the National Conference ofCatholic Bishops work out "atrue collegium at the localChurch lev\O!l,"

Collegiality, a concept ap­proved by the Second .VaticanCouncil, represents a sharing ofauthority and a broadening ofdecision-making powers in theChurch. The Canonists feel thatcollegiality has yet' to be madefully effective at all levels in theChurch despite the creation ofsuch mechanisms as senates ofpriests.

Bureau to StudyPlanning Centers

OTTAWA (NC)-Catholic re­sponse to public family planningcenters will be studied by aninter-~Iepartmcntal committee ofthe Canadian Catholic Confer­ence (CCC), the national associ­ation of bishops.

The ,study was authorizc'd by­Archbishop J.A. Plourde of Otta­wa, CCC vice president.

Explaining the purpose of thestUdy, Archbishop Plourde said:

"Now that the advertising andsale of contraceptives in Canadais no longer prohibited by theCriminal Code, it can be expect­ed that p~blic clinics will belaunched in many places - bymunicipalities, public health ser­vices, welfare agencies, and hos­pitals. The position of Catholiccitizens and taxpayers facedwith these initiatives will cer­tainly be discussed,"

Bernard Daly, director of theCCC Family Life Bureau andchairman of the committtee, saidthe committee will initiate itssurvey by making a study of allthe dioceses "to determine whatkinds of clinics might alreadybe developing and to seek otherrelevant information."

Of course, Cox pointed out,this means watching a film on avery small screen compared tothe theatre screen, and possibly

The commission, establishedby the New Jersey legislatureearlier this year, will concludea series of three public hearingsin the southern part of the statelater this month.

Msgr. Hayes asked for legisla­tion which would forbid the dis­play or sale of obscene materialto those under 18, an area ofcontrol which the U. S. SupremeCourt has indicated is accept­able. Obscenity would be care­fully defined in the legislationwhich would be similar to lawsnow in effect in other state's andupheld by the courts.

Spealcing at a National Day ofPrayer breakfast at the WhiteHouse, he said "there are timeswe need help beyond ourselves,beyond what any man· can give'us." .. . The President'quoted a prayer,written by John Adams which isinscribed over the fireplace inthe White House state dining

.room, where the breakfast waSheld: .'

"I pray heaven bestow thebest of bleSSing on this house,and all that shall inhabit it. Maynone but honest and wise menever rule under this roof."

NEW YORK (NC)-:-PresidentNixon, in a statement releasedbere, paid tribute to the Bible as,a guidebook for individuals,families and statesmen,and saidthe future holds "great promise"if the historic lessonsqf Scrip­ture are heeded.

Mr. Nixon prepared the state­ment in his role as honorarychairman of National BibleWeek, ·which will be observedduring Thanksgiving Week. The'statement was released throughthe offices of the National BibleWeek Committee.

The observance is sponsoredby the Laymen's National BibleCommittee, which originated theevent in 1941, and by the Amer­ican Bible Society and the Cath­olic Biblical Association ofAmerica.

"It is most fitting that thistraditional observance is to beheld during the week of Thanks­giving," Mr. Nixon said. ·"For aseach of us pauses to reflect onthe meaning of the Bible in ourlives, we surely have some spe­cial instance for which to ex­press our thanks to God for.strengthening our faith throughHoly Writ." .

President Nixon said the Bibleis "unique among books andtreasured by men and nations., 01: .;. The past' has truly provedthat we have much to gain byour devotion to, the Scriptures.And the future holds great prom-

'. ise if we h~ed past lessons well."

Chavez ContinuesTo Push· Boycott

NEWARK (NC)-Cesar'Cha­vez carried his campaign for aboycott of California grapes toNew Jersey and told an audience·at Queen of Angels parish herethat when the negotiation stageis reached with growers his un­ion will insist on a clause elim­.inating the use of DDT in thevineyards.

Chavez briefly joined picketsdemonstrating outside a super­ma'rket here before speaking atQueen of Angels, which has pro­vided office space for boycottorganizers.

Chavez repeated charges madebefore a Senate investigatingcommittee earlier, saying: "Someworkers have died from pesti­cide poisoning. Others have de­veloped eye irritations, and skinrashes and have lost fingernails."

"When we finally reach nego­tiations," he said, "we want ahealth clause that will eliminatethe use of DDT· and establish aprogram whereby workers' bloodwill be tested periodically to de­termine the level of poisoning intheir blood from other pesti-cides." .

Criticizes Bishopsl SpokesmanFor INegativel School· Stance

WASHINGTON (NC) --' TheU. S. Bishops' chief spokesmanon parochial schools was called"out of touch with (I (I (I new de­velopments in Catholic educa­tion," and criticized for a "nega­tive posture" on Catholic schools,at the annual school superintend­ents' meeting sponsored by theNational Catholic EducationalAssociation and the UnitedStates Catholic Conference(USCC).

The criticism of Msgr. Ja1'l1esC. Donohue, director of theUSCC Division of Elementaryand Secondary Education, wasmade by Francis Scholtz, a lay­man who is coordinator of edu­cation in the diocese of SiouxFalls, S. D.

Scholtz requested the podium,saying he considered it his dutyto register a protest againstMsgr. Donohue's views in thename of the Sioux Falls diocesanoffice of education.

The bulk of Scholtz's criti­cism was aimed at a recent arti­cle in Look magazine entitled"Are the Catholic Schools Dy­ing?" The article, by Look editorJack Star, was based on an in­terview with Msgr. Donohue.

The article quoted Msgr. Don­ohue as saying the Church's ed­ucational apostolate has been"too child-oriented" with a di$­proportionate amount of parishand diocesan funds beingpumped into Catholic elementaryand secondary schools. It said headvocated that more concentra­tion be given to adult educationand pre-school programs and onserving the· poor through inner­city schools.

"Unle~s we change, we'll with­er away, we'll die," Msgr. Don­ohue said. "We're losing the kidsanyway, and' the, teachers too.We might as well experiment.:'J ~ ,:

are looking for leadership fromthe clergy on' the subject ofCatholic schools and added: "Nolayman wants to take over inany capacity a school systemthat in eyes of the directorof elementary and secondary ed­ucation is quite likely a lostcause."

"We feel that the director isfive years behind the times, atleast as far as our 'diocese is con­cerned," Scholtz said. He saidthe Look article and other newsmedia presentation of Msgr.Donohue views "contained manyideas that we could certainly

Quotes StrangePress ReportsOn Synod

ROME (NC)-Bishop LeoArkfeld, S.V.D., president ofthe Bishops' Conference ofPapua, New Guinea and theSolomon Islands, said here thathe finds "very little similaritybetween the sentiments beingexpressed in the synod and thosebeing reported by the press."

Born in Panama, Iowa, thebishop heads the Wewak diocesein New Guinea and is a memberof the Synod of Bishops.

"Judging from my impressionsgathered over the past week," hesaid, "I would say that the synodis running very smoothly and isexpressing great deference to theHoly Father. I find a most cor­dial spirit existing between thebishops and the Holy Father andalso among the bishops them­selves. It seems to me there is agreat desire on the part of all toimprove and to bring into fullharmony the relations that bish­ops' conferences have with oneanother and with the Pope."

Impression"But the impressions conveyed

by the press," he continued,"would make one believe thatthere is a tremendous clash be­tween the Holy Father and someof the bishops, and that thesynod itself is divided into twocamps of conservatives and lib­erals. This is not at all my im~

pression after attending all thesessions and hearing all thespeeches." '

Speaking of the newspaperreports on the synod that he hasseen, the bishop said they givehim "the general impression thattruth is very secondary. Themain purpose seems to be toprint sensational material thatthe readers are supposed to belooking for.'" Bishop Arkfeldwondered whether this judgmentby journalists about their read­ing public was correct.

ADELINE CORONADOR

Mission Helperfor RestHome

LOS ANGELES (NC)-AdelineCoronado, a registered nurse, amidwife and a Los Angeles LayMission Helper, has come homefor a rest.

For the last nine years she hasbeen in East Africa where shefounded a 30-bed hospital and,personally delivered 1,500 babies.

For all her accomplishments,Miss Coronado is casually unas­suming; her character conveyscheerfulness; kindness and com­petence.

"I was at Igoji, a market vil­lage on the slopes of MountKenya," she recounted., "Theplace was beautiful.

"The people were Wameru,quiet, jovial and charitable. Youcan learn much from them. Youwould see how they helped eachother, little ones helping otherlittle ones - a w.onderful atmo­sp~ere 'for'an ·al~en.", .....

In addition to infant and ma­ternity care, St. Anne's Hospitalat Igoji, founded by Adeline andher companion, Lay MissionHelper Patricia Speidel, alsoprovides a clinic for adults andchildren:

"We saw about 1,200 patientsa year 'at huge clinics three daysa week. The patients had mala­ria, bronchitis and intestinalparasites, mainly," Miss Coro­nado recounted.

Her first hitch as a Lay Mis­sion Helper came soon afer shefinished her studies -at St. Vin­cent's College of Nursing here.'UlllIIIIIlIllIIIIIIUllllI1UUll""mlllllllllllt,lIlmllllIlIlIllUllUllUUtlIllIIllUll,"UUllllmlll.

story. Since' walls don't talk,however, except in fairy talesand mystery stories, we willhave to settle for a 'book like.Mr. Bernstein's to fill in the gapsin our historical information.

Again I recommend this bookvery highly. The events whichit records mayor may not havebeen as important or as dramaticas more recent developments inthe field of· social reform, but,whatever of that, it's well worthreading..

. Obtained· 'ObjectiveTo· quote 'Mr. Beirne again in

. paraphrase, if the ~tOfy it tellsabout developments in the fieldof organized labor during theturbulent '30s seems to be irrele-.vant, it is only because men likethe ones referred to aboveproved to be so successful inachieving their basic objective,namely, the establishment of astrong labor movement in thebasic industries of this country.

The fact that this labor move­ment may now appear to someof our younger militants to havelost some of its steam is no rea­son to denigrate the contribu­tion of the men who brought itinto being. That would be sheercynicism, and cyncism doesn'tlook good on people under 30­or even under 70 or 80, so faras that's concerned.

they have nothing to learn fromthe experience of the labormovement, for example, in thatparticular period.

That's not cynicism; it's 'sheerstupidity, mixed with a generousdose of downright conceit.

To be sure, Mr. Beirne is cor­rect when, he says, in deferenceto today's young militants, thatit's the future, that matters, notthe past.

He is also correct, however,when he. goes on to say thateven "the most dedicated rebelcan learn from the record of past'rebellions" and that "a modestappreciation of former struggleswill reinforce the fainthearted,

· for the odds were far longer andthe perils far grimmer in the dimpast."

Lewis' ContributionThe '30s and the '40s really

don't belong to the "dim past,"of course, but, in any event, oneof the lessons t6 be learned fromreviewing the history of organ­ized labor during that period isthat, whatever the situation maybe at the present time, beingover 30 in those days' wasn'tnecessarily synynomous withbeing ~'out of it."

Take the case of John. L:Lewis, for ex~mple. Regardlessof what one ,may think· of. Mr..Lewis....:....and~·there are undoubt-

· edly many things to' be said onthe ,debit side of his. ledger.,--hedid make an enormously impor­tant contribution to the cause ofsocial justice in the UnitedStates. To pretend otherwisewould be simply ludicrous.

And yet Mr.' Lewis hadreached the ·ripe old age of 58 bythe' time he established the CIO,and was still going strong formany years thereafter.

Faced Longer OddsI can't claim to have known

· Mr. Lewis very well, but didknow many of those associatedwith him in the original CIO andmany of his erstwhile opponentsin the old AF of L. 'Their aver­age at the time I am referring tomust have been well over 40.

I am thinking of men likePhilip. Murray (who succeededLewis as president of the CIO),Clinton Golden, Van Bittner,Alan HaYwood, John Brophy,Sidney Hillman, and many .otherearly CIO figures too numerousto mention:' They were greatmen in my book. So were many

.of their 'contemporaries in the.old AF of L.

To paraphrase Mr. Beirne, amodest appreciation of their con­tribution to the' cause of socialjustice will, hopefully, reinforcethe' fainthearted, for the" odds.which they faced were longerand the perils much grimmerthan' those with which most ofthe white '(as opposed to blackor Spanish-speaking) militants of

, this more affluent generation are,confronted with.

Worth, ReadingI thought of all these men

very fondly as I strolled up anddown the boardwalk in AtlanticCity a few weeks ago, for it wasthere that I first had the privi­lege of meeting many of them.

If the walls of the now slightlyseedy hotels along the famouspromenade could freely talk,they would tell a fascinating

side resort during the past30-odd years. I think Itwould be accurate to saythat, during that period oftime, no other city has hosted asmany important labor pow-wows.I attendedmany of themduring the '40sand '50s, butunfortunately Im iss e d themost dramaticone of all ­the famous1935 conven­tion of the oldAFL - CIO atwhich John i..Lewis, havingexchanged physical as well asrhetorical blows with the lateWilliam Hutcheson of the Car­penters, in the ballroom of theold Chelsea Hotel (which hassince been tom down, I believe),broke with the Federation and,in due time, ~et up what latercame to be known an the Con­gress of Industrial Organizations.

An authoritative history ofthis event and of the entire 1929­1941 period in the annals of theAmericoi1 labor movement 'hasbeen written by Professor IrvingBernstein of the University ofCalifornia' at Los Angeles, underthe title, "Turbulent Years ­History of the American Worker1933-1941."

Scheduled for publication inNovember, I would say, sight un­seen: that Bernstein's book is re­quired reading for th(~ under-30militants of this generation whoseem to know very little and tocare even less, about: anythingthat might have happened in thefield of social reform In. thiscountry prior' to the end ofWorld War II. .

In saying this, I realize, ofcourse, that the young people oftoday are sick and tired of beinglectured to about the gloriesand/or the struggles cof the past--even the very recent past.

It's for this reason, I suppose,that Joseph A. Beirne" presidentof the Communications Workersof America-who will never see50 again but is still extremelyyoung at heart-goes out of hisway in his new book, "Challengeto Labor: New Roles for Amer­'can Trade Unions," to disasso­'c' te himself from the orators ofhi .generation, whether· they bepoli icians or labor leaders, "whohark back to the abuses, the'deprivations, the outrages of" 30years ago as though their eradi­cation were reason enough toenlist the grateful support oftoday's voters and workers.

"It isn't," Mr. Beirne continues."Those old battles," ·he says,"are a glorious page in historyand we young 'old' codgers whohad a part in them have .everyright to be proud of what we did.But the y'oung generation has anequal right to ask, without cyni­cism, 'What have you done for:us lately?'"

Stupidity, Com:eitMr. Beirne's point is well

taken. Nevertheless I can't helpbut feel sorry for those under-30"radicals" of the present genera­

·tion who don't give a tinker'sdamn about the soCial history ofthe '30s and the '40s and think

Housing fo~ 'Eld~rly~ "Gets Federal Funds

SPOKANE (NC) - Federalfunding has been approved for anapartment complex for low-andmiddle-income elderly sponsoredby the Spokane diocesan Catho­lic Charities.

Construction of the $324,000p~oject will begin in November,with occupancy slat~d for June,1970. The new uni~ will beknown as Fahy Garden Apart­ments, named for Father JohnF. Fahy, retired pastor' of St.Joseph's parish, where the com­plex will be located.

To be eligible for the apart­ments, at least one member ofthe household must be 62 or old­er; annual income cannot exceed$3.200 (adjustments will be madefor couples), and total assetscannot exceed $5,000. Although"fair market" rent per unitwould normalIy be about $146for one-bedroom units and $117for efficiency units, low-incomeoccupants will pay only about25 per cent of their annual in-,come divided into monthly pay­ments.

Religious 'HeadsTalk VocationsAt Stonehill·

NORTH EASTON (NC)­The need for candidates forthe priesthood, brotherhoodand sisterhood to experiencethe reality of religious life andwork before making a commit­ment through their vows wasone of the major points stressedat a day-long meeting of theheads of religious ordersthroughout New England..

Cross Fathers' seminary on theStonehill College campus here,under the didrection of FatherRichard H.

NeedsFather Thomas O. Barrosse,

C.S.C., airector of novices atHoly Cross Novitiate, Benning­ton, Vt., in the keynote address,listed four great needs iIi theformation of candidates for serv­ice to the Church:

-The need' for direction bydedicated, experienced andtrained personnel. ,

-The need for candidates toadapt to their own personal re­quirements' the direction that isprovided.

-The need for future priests,Brothers and Sisters to be menand women of prayer'. .

-The need for candidates, be­fore they make a commitmentthrough their vows, to experi­ence the reality of the order'slife and work as it is lived out­side and after the novitiate orformation period.

NEW DELHI (NC)-The apos­tolic pro-nuncio to India, Arch·bishop Joseph Marie Lemieux,has voiced the hope that thefriendly relationship betweenindia and the Holy See will help"strengthen the cause of peace inthe world."

In his maiden speech as Vat­ican envoy to this country, theCanadian-born archbishop saidhe was quite conscious of theimportance of representing thePope in India. He said that Indiais the largest democracy in theworld and the leading nationamong those that have achievedindependence in recent years.

It is with satisfaction that theinternational community of peo­ples witnesses the astonishingrise of this subcontinent evermore on the move in the ruraland cultural fields," the arch­bishop said,

During one game in his senioryear;- Detroit Tiger scout VinceSpinnelli made the trip fromBoston to see John in action.This time, Quintal was behindthe plate. At the dish, Quintalenjoyed a 2 for 4 performancewhile, in the field, he was, ex­cept for a first inning error,flawless.

In his game evaluation report,Spinnelli was "most impressedwith Quintal's reflexes behindthe plate and. was equally im­pressed with his alertness on thebase paths."

Several colleges were inter­ested in the highly·touted Arti·san as early as his junior year* * I) but John wasn't ready forcollege.

Following his graduation,Quintal enrolled at Laurelcrestwhere he spent the next twoyears polishing up his marksand stealing the athletic spot·

"I believe that if an importantdifference of opinion shouldarise with one's bishop, that dif·ference should be presented tothe bishop privately and not bymeans of public presentation.

"Because of a particular deci·sion of the association, it seemedto me that I could no longer .maintain such a position."

The rugged six-footer whowas a standout soccer prospectduring his freshman season atthe high school but later trainedhis attention to football, haswon a starting position on theMemphis State freshman squad.

Listed as a tailback, Quintalhas been a key figure in theBaby Tigers' winning record todate and has been regarded asan outstanding prospect by theTiger varsity. coaching staff.

Following his graduation fromLaurelcrest Preparatory Schoolin BristOl; Conn., some 20 majorcolleges expressed interest inthe all-around athlete. After per·sonal visits to a number of cam·puses, Quintal selected Memphis,Tenn. as his "Winter home" forthe next four seasons.

John is the son of Mrs. JuliaQuintal, 223 Myrtle Street, NewBedford, and is a communicantof Holy Name Parish.

His. prowess as an athlete be­came evident in that first yearat Vocational when he sparkedthe freshmen soccer team to ahighly successful season. Hisfuture as a soccer hjgh schoolgreat was virtually assured. ButJohn discarded sure headlinesfor helmet knocking the follow·ing year.

As a sophomore he led theYoke football team to a pair ofBristol County League victoriesin the seven-league game season.The green and white hasn't wona league contest since.

As a junior and senior he wasnamed to several AII-BCL teamsas an offensive halfback and de­fensive safety. Whether the sit­uation called for a running play,a short or long pass, or a quickkick * * * John could .do it all.

When the football season gaveway to basketball, Quintal wasa member of the varsity squadin three of his four seasons. Ad­mittedly his weakest sport, Johnwas a guard and quarterbackedthe club through impressiveyears.
