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.

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.

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.

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

The Pope recalIed diffic~lties
that seminary education is encountering today and noted thattoday's yousg men want to understand things to, the foundations and to be masters of theirown activity.
This new mentality must betaken into account in the education of tomorrow's priests, thePope said, although valid principles of education should not beabandoned. He urged that theeducators seek to establish relations with students not on abasis of students' passive acceptance of authority bot rather ona basis of a dialogue that fostersinner conviction.

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." ,
, To such 'a life iSI the :Christian called. To such a life.is he conformed by living in union with Christ, a processthat involves knowing Christ and communing with Him'and putting aside obstacles to the Christ-growth withinhim. . ,
This'is the work of Lent. It is the work of Easter. Itis the, ,l~fe~lo~g W9Fk of the Christian. '
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.

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.

Lecturing in "The Christian inSuburbia" series at St. Charlesparish, Father Marthaler saidsuburbia represents that segmentof society "that is in a positiontoday to stand back, reflect uponsociety and act upon the conscience of the world."
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.

"If suburbia has the courageto observe, to judge, to criticize,it can enjoy the benefits of a

But if suburbia doesn't use itstalents and resources for thebenefit of all, and "settles intocomplacency, it will indeed havea sen~e of guilt," he. 8,dded.

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,"

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."

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.

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.

Newspaper Raises$20,000 for Biafra
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~

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.

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.

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.

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."
