With the opening of the II Vatican Council set for October of this year, Catholics andnon-Catholics alike all over the world will be asking many questions as to the natureand purpose of ecumenical councils, how many of the there haye been_ and what tra.nspired in them.

NOTRE DAME - A keyfigure on educational mat.ters in the House thinksFederal aid for church-reolatE'd schools has little chanceof approval largely because ofbigotry and hostility.
,This is the opinion of Rep.Frank Thompson of New Jersey,chairman of the selected subcommittee on education andmanager in the House last yearof- President Kennedy's unsuccessful bid for Federal grants

Writing in Ave Maria magazine, Thompson deplores the attitude of persons who he said

The reading of anyone ofthese books will help one toappreciate the significanceof the Second Vatican Council; for the present council'can be grasped only in thelight of the past.
An ecumenical council isa generalor universal council of the Church. It derivesits name from a Greek wordwhich means the habitableworld and thus it means acouncil which is world-wide.
Indeed, an ecumenicalcouncil is just that becausethe Bishops of all diocesesin the world, as the officialteachers and judges of theChurch, are invited, but not

Much confusion is boundto arise in the minds of menover this great event becausegeneral councils of theChurch are an extraordinaryevent; there have been only20 thus far, the last one being held in 1869-1870.
Since the time the twentyfirst general council was announced by Pope JohnXXIII, several excellent, easily - readable books havebeen published which areavailable at most librariesand book stores. Amongthem we may cite the fol.lowing:

Richard Cardinal Cushing,Archbishop of Boston, issued on the first Sunday ofLent his annual Lenten Pastoral to his flock. The Pastoral,entitled, "Call of The Council,"was distributed in all Churchesof the Archdiocese.
Following up his Lenten Pastoral of 1961 that dealt with"secularism" or "humanism,"the Cardinal sees the need ofbridging the chasm that exists ifman is to survive.
Realizing the hold that Communism has on so much of theworld's population, the BostonPrelate states that it is "smallwonder that the Vicar of Christ,gazing out upon a troubledworld, calls the successors of theApostles to his side, like theLord Himself in the upperfoom."
"At a time when human exisltence sinks' toward the SUbhuman, someone must comeforth to reassert the claims ofthe supernaturaI."

QUITO (NC) - A leaderin the Church's fight againl:ltcommunism in Ecuadormaintains the Reds will losedespite their influence in school,field and "actory.
Father Carlos Vela, S.J., saysthe. "outlook is optimistic" al:though two successive governments have given the worldpause to wonder just how muchthey depended on communisthelp. .
According to Father Vela thepeople of Ecuador are alarmedby a rapid rise in communistboldness during 1960 and 196'1~
, when Jose Maria Velasc~ ,Ibar~a:,was president. They have ,r~,acted strongly and are deter.ri1~ned to oppose ,furtpeJ; c~~~munist gains, the Jesuit asse.rts.
Propaganda Aplenty ",,;, The army is thoroughly anti'communist, he says, and rema(ris,the country's strongest guarant~''of~solidarity with the'West. '. '
Father Vela warns that thecommunists are determined to
-discredit and eventually destroythe army. He says the communist slogan is "Without the dis-,organization of the army, theRevolution cannot proSper."
This anti-army campaign hasbegun with the vilification of toparmy officers. Ecuador has nocensorship of communist propaganda, either domestic or imported, and the campaign rollsalong unimpeded. Tons of material arrive regularly fromCuba and other' communistcountries.
Drive lIs SlowingNot a single elected official of
the national government is 1!1communist. But several of the"functional" senator~lawmak
ers selected by professional oi'business groups such as la bor,agriculture, 'industry and commerce, and education-are communists.
Communists are both activeand influential in universitycircles, among teachers in primary and high schools, and insome factories. Recently theyhave spread their influence torural areas, among the Indians.
But the steam has ,been takenout of the communist campaignamong the Indians. Owners oflarge haciendas have agreed togive Indian farmhands the landon which they and their families

"Perhaps no other agency' isso effective in creating attitudesas the motion picture, whetherin the .theater or on the television screen," he told' the teachers.
They viewed two films, "SayOne for Me," starring BingCrosby and Debbie Reynolds,and "La Strada;" an' Italianmovie starring Anthony Quinn:
Archbishop Alter pointed outthat students' attitudes andviewpoints are shaped "surreptitiously' and unconsciously" bythe films they see, and that theresults are "highly significantin' their later lives.'"
"Our Catholic schools have adistinct responsibility," he said,"to provide their students withthe criteria by which they can.evaluate motion pictures cor';'rectly."

Father Herman H. Kenning, assistant superintendent of archdiocesan schools, said "our students are' virtually engulfed inevery kind of insidiously persuasive visual art."

Perhaps typical of the Catholic'medical units is the Budini(Busoga) maternity clinic, runby an African congregation, theLittle Sisters of St. Francis.Close to 1,000 babies are delivered there annually.
At the end of February it received from "MEMISA", lay organization in the Netherlandsdevoted to medical aid for themissions, a supply of equipmentranging from syringes to oxygenapparatus.

A spokesman for Catholicwelfare 9 per a t ion s haspraised a House committee'saction in limiting the scope ofpublic welfare programs whichwould be eligible for Federalaid.
Msgr. Raymond J. Gallagher,secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Charitieshere, made his statement incommenting on a new versionof the administration's multimillion dollar welfare bill (H.R.10606) approved by the HouseWays and Means Committee.. As presented to the commit
tee, the original bill would havegiven Fe'deral aid to local public welfare programs which extended their efforts to includefamilies "likely to become" recipients of public relief.
The new version strikes outthis phrase and substitutes"those who request such set'vice."
New GroundMsgr. Gallagher called this a
"realistic limit."In previous statements, the
Monsignor had noted that voluntary welfare agencies traditionally had ,accepted the responsibility for helping families"likely to become recipients" ofpublic relief.
He said that extending public welfare operations into thisarea would have given them"conl1iderable new ground" andput them in competition withvoluntary programs, which lackthe financial resources possessedby public operations.

Even in these days.. of astronomical figures and highfinances, the sum of one billion dollars is impressive. Itshould bring a sense of pride to the heart of 'every American Catholic to learn in mid-November last year, the cumulative value of the relief supplies sent overseas by theCatholic 'Relief Services-National Catholic Welfare Conference passed the one billion dollar value mark. The programbegan, operating in 1943. Almost half the' supplies wereshipped during the past five years.
During last year, for example, a shipment of relief sup'plies for overseas left some United States port on an average of every four and one half hours.
The CRS-NCWC carries out its program of charity insixty-seven countries; emergency and disaster help is givenand women and children of every race and creed and age.
This program, supported by the Catholics of the UnitedStates, is the largest overseas voluntary relief agency.
Last year the program fed more than twenty-eight million persons.
There are full-scale assistance programs going on in sixtysE!ven countries; emergency and disaster help is givenwhenever and wherever the need arises; morel self-help programs are being inaugurated; and the resettlement and in:'tegration of refugees is another vital work. ..
This is charity at its best. And it is accomplishedthrough the generosity of American Catholics, giving inthe Thanksgiving Clothing Drive and in the AnnilalLaetare Sunday contributions to the Bishops' Relief Fu.nd.The United States government has helped in the' donationof surplus foods. '
The Appeal Handbook of this year's Bishops' ReliefFund reads like an Arabian Night story of generosity andefficiency and good done for all manners of people and in 'all types of ways, from placing libraries on merchant shipsto sending gamTI;la globulin to Turkey, from resettling thephysically handicapped to' providing blacksmith tools forKenya, from feeding and clothing millions of persons allover the world to helping care for the one hundred thousand exiles from Cuba.
The first of April will once again see American Catholics renew their spirit of love of God and neighbor bysharing their blessings with others in the, world throughcontributions to the Bishops' Relief Fund. Vaf[u~~Hi1l Council

The staff which the bishopcarries on ceremonies is calledthe CROSIER or CROZIER.

A council would be no lessecumenical if only 50 out of 2,000possible members would attend,Neither is the length of time thatthe council lasts what constitutesit as ecumenical; some have
. taken several years, while othershave been completed but in a relatively few days. Neither is external solemnity or splendor
,what is important; for some, mthe past, have been conductedwith little spectacle.
It is Holy Mother Church herself in the person of the Popewho makes it clear that a particular council is to be generaland not merely local. Todaythere are definite laws of theChurch in the Code of CanonLaw governing the requirementsfor a general council, which tellsus that no council can be held asecumenical which is not convoked by the Holy Father andthat it is the Holy Father, eitherpersonally or through a representative, who presides over allecumenical 'council.

determine what matters are tobe treated; it is he who is t8transfer a council from one pl<!ceto another, if necessary, to suspend or dissolve it and to confirm its decrees. In past centuries, the law was not so clear,so many of these present technical requirements varied.

TUESDAY - Third Week illLent. While more serious sinsrequire the celebration of anauxiliary sacrament, Penance,every celebration of the liturgyincludes an absolution, a proclamatio!1 of forgiveness. Our sins,far from keeping us from theworship of God, draws us to it.

MONDAY - Annunciation ofthe Blessed Virgin Mary. Thisjoyous feast interrupts lentensobriety with the announcementthat He is to come for Whom theworld has waited.
God's Word is united to ahuman nature in the womb ofthe Virgin. He comes to tell usthat none of our inadequacies,our failures, our faults, can prevent the love of God from rescuing us, if we will accept Him.So the great prayer of everyMass, the Eucharistic prayer orcanon, even in a penitential season, begins "Sursum, corda,""Lift up your hearts."
WEDNESDAY-Third Week inLent.. The 'Christian must becareful lest 'he fall into a kindof formalism of sin. It is easy tofollow the hypocrites condemnedin the Gospel today and to identify sin with' social manners andsocial mores.
Sin, J esu's teaches, is a matter. of the human heart and will, of, the interior of man, much more'
than of merely the external act.And virtue's fidelity is to God'scommandmen't (first Reading),rather than to human social pat'terns and customs and folk ways.

THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT.The' Church's public worship isalways teaching us, always reminding us of things we like' toforget. Today's lenten Massstresses the reality of sin, theresponsibility that the dignityof human freedom imposes uponus. It is God's power in Christthat casts out the .devil, thatguards the castle, that sweepsclean and adorns the humanheart (Gospel), but the man istruly blessed who not only hearsthe Word of God but keeps it.
So great is His grace, His benevolence towards us, that weare cooperators in the new creation. And, while He forgives asoften as we return to Him, ourmoral effort to walk in love, towalk as children of the iight(Epistle), is an essential demandof our discipleship and of ourFaith.
TODAY - Thursday, SecondWeek in lLent. It is not primarilyin miracles and wonders thatGod speaks to man, Christteaches in the Gospel, but in thewords of his prophets and witnesses.
The Scriptures, read to theChristian people whenever theyassemble for Mass, are far moreimportant as source and nourishment 0;: faith than any visionor u~usual event. Reference tothe Resurrection directs our lenten retreat I again toward thatEaster eve'nt.
TOMORROW-Friday, SecondWeek in Lent. Both Reading andGospel teach of the repection ofGod's messengers by man. Thepoint is that despite our rejections of His Word and His approach, He comes and comes
'again. Hi:.. love never fails. It issteadfast. And, even though HisSon is announced in the Gospelparable as His final gesture, inthe Church His Son continues tocome to us in Word and sacrament, again and again in spite ofthe fact that we also reject Himfreqilently.
Lent is a time for sorrow forsin, for penance, but also forthanksgiving in the knowledge
',that we are as humanly power. less to lose His mercy as we areto merit it.
SATURDAY-Second Week inLent. The prodigal son of the
, Gospel and the story of Jacob. and Esau in the Reading both illustrate the gratuitousnesss ofGod's mercy, of His forgivinglove. It ic not according to ourdeserts that He rewards us, butaccording to His good pleasureand perfect love. We pray thatour penance may open our heartsto Him and find new life (Collect) .

A distraught English,mother wrote to the great London newspaper, The Times, giving, the real parental objection to television.
She wrote' that the real' danger was not crime orviolence, however, horrible these might be and howevervicious their influeI)ce on the young.
The real danger, she maintains, comes from the commercials that' show' "hand-picked beautiful mothers" whoare always calm and kind and efficient. These unbelievablywonderful persons show cooking skills and demonstratehorne appliances that always make the real mothers andacutal homes look shabby and shoddy and inefficient bycomparison.
This, states the letter-writing mother, is the r~al dan-'ger of television: the invidious c~mparisons that the com
, mercials raise in the minds of children.The argument, at any rate, is a'new one, isn't it,? And
it does contain much merit., .
Children who sit mesmerized by the cathode tube andglued to its every flicker, accepting with uncritical mindswhatever it presents in whatever way presented, run thereal danger of accepting the television world and televisionpeople as reality. Their own modest lived-in homes andit must be admitted - sometimes far from cool and efficient mothers show up badly. What competition can thereaJ ,arents give these glamorous creatures of the make-lotp artist? ,
Perhaps there is only one way to offset this danger.'The old principle of "If you' can't lick them, join them"might apply. And real live mothers in all too real homesmight try imitating the calmness and poise of the' television people. It could ,be ,revolutionary.

T@ ~<J:lh@@~~HARTFORD (NC)' - A
priest-lawyer advised herethat advocates of Federalaid for nonpublic schoolsshould be "deeply conscious" ofthree truths "which may well- beoverlooked. in the heat of theongoing controversy."
In an' address before membersof the St. Joseph Cathedral parish Holy Name Society, FatherRobert F. Drinan, S.J., madethese points:'
1. "All advocates of aid tononpublic schools should haveand should express confidencethat the American people willbe fair with regard to the claimof the' parents of nonpublieschool children."
2. "Although persuasion tendsto merge into pressure, there isa point beyond which any groupin a democratic society may notgo in insisting that its claim berecognized."
3. "The spirit of tolerance,charity and candor must alwaysbe maintained in the discussionof the Church-State problem. "
Reexamine PolicyFather Drinan, dean of Boston
College law school, said "the-exposure which Catholic schoolshad last year has brought to thenation an unparalleled opportunity to reexamine the basicpublic policy which this nationdesires to follow if the Federal
.government decides to change afundamental policy and have thetJ:nited States government enterthe area of financing localschools."
He said the Catholic requee't. for participation in Federal aid
to education rests on three principal arguments: parental righfs,the free exercise of religion, andthe pluralistic nature of U. S.society.
"In all the literature and discussions of Federal aid it appearsthat the argument based on parental rights is the fountainheadand cornerstone of the Catholicposition. It must also be said,however, that it seems to be lesspersuasive with non-Catholic,Sthan any other argument,"Father Drinan said.
WILMINGTON (NC) - Thereis a' "moral necessity" for theUnited States and other countriesto cooperate in international society today, U. S. Sen. Eugene J.McCarthy .of Minnesota saidhere.
McCarthy, in an address onpolitics, said the "fundamentalobjective" of political activity is"to' bring about progressivechange in keeping with the demands of social justice."
In politics, he a~ded, there isseldom a simple choice betweenthat which is wholly good andthat which is wholly bad. "Pru- •dence may require tolerance ofa measure of evil in order toprevent something worse or tosave the limited. good," he said.
A number of zealous priestsfollowed in the footsteps ofFather Bernard, first pastor.They include Rev. Egbert Steenbeek, Rev. Clement Kilgoar, Rev.Thomas Lyons and Rev. JeromeLane, all Sacred Hearts Fathers.
St. Joseph's has 5,585 parishioners. The interior of the churchis wallecl in natural light brickand the ceiling is outlined withenormous oak rafters.
IIi addition to the main altar,side ,altars are dedicated to theSacred Heart and Our Lady,Queen of Peace. There are alsoshrines to St. Joseph, 'St. Anthony, St. Anne and the Infant ofPrague in the church.
A weekly novena to Our Lady,Queen of Peace, is well attended..
New Bishop .,Of particular interest and
pride to St. Joseph's parillhionerswas the recent announcement ofthe consecration of BishopJoseph Regan. The new prelate'smother is still living in the parish, as are several cousins, including Charles, Edwin andGertru'de Stiles, with whomBishop Regan made his home.

By Avis C. Rob~rtsThe Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and of Perpetual Adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament, one of whose, most illustrious members was Father Damien,SS.CC., "apostle of Molokai," arrived in Fairhaven from Liverpool in 1905. Bishop Stang,first bishop of Fall River, invited the order. The first priests who came were Rev. MarieBernard Pierson, SS.CC.,Rev. Stanislaus Bernard,SS.CC., and Rev. HilarionEikerling, SS.CC. In. 1904 thecongregation had acquired itsmonastery at Spring and AdamsStreets, Fairhaven, through VeryRev. Hugh J. Smyth, pastor of·St. Lawrence Church, New Bedford. The trio of priests movedinto the home on May 11, 1905.It is now headquarters of theSacred Hearts Fathers in theUnited. States.
The founding by the congregation of St. Joseph's Church inFairhaven set the pace for theestablishment of many new parishes by the Fathers in NewBedford, Fairhaven and CapeCod.'
Less than 48 hours after theyarrived in Fairhaven, -the 'firstthree. priests w ere sayIngMasses in Phoenix Hall, Centerand Main Streets.
In the early days there wereless than 50 people in the con'gregation. The hall was used forthree Sundays but beginning'June 11, 1905 Mass was offeredat the monastery. At each Mass,sermons were preached in Ertg1ish, French and Portuguese.
The first baptism took placeat the monastery June 5, 1905,and the first marriage and thefirst funeral took place on thesa~e day-July 1, 1905.
Church-SchoonWithin a few months after the
priests' arrival plans were drawnfor a combination church andschool. A wooden structure, itscornerstone was laid Sept. 24,1905. On Feb. 11, 1906, BishopStang dedicated St. Joseph's andpreached at the Mass of Dedication.
In 1923 it was decided to builda new church-the present handsome brick structure. BishopFeehan laid the cornerstone forthe new building Sept. 14, 1924,and dedicated the church on May3,', 1925. .', . ', Before the cornerstone wasiaid the foliowlng document wasplaced wtth~n it: ",t:he_y~ar of

are diocesan synods convenedby the Bishop of a diocese; theseare" not· really councils becausethe Bishop alone is the legislator.Neither are the provincial councils of bishop of a particular' ecclesiastical province or the plenary councils (e. g. three PlenaryCouncils of Baltimore from 18521884) involving several ecclesi'astical provinces and presidedover by a papal legate the sameas ecumenical councils; for theyare not concerned with theChurch as world-wide, but onlyIn their own area. Similarly theannual Bishops' meeting held inWashington differs from generalcouncils because they do notmake laws in the strict sense.
InfaHib!e Teaching
The purpose of the gatheringof Bishops and other prelatessummoned by the Holy Father inan ecumencal council is to discuss and settle questions of doctrine and discipline affecting thewhole Church. These gatheringsare characterized by much deliberation and discussion before decrees are issued. Many ecclesiastical scholars are called to assistthe Bishops in the discussion ofthe agenda; these scholars haveno voice in the council as suchbut merely serve as consultantsor advisors. '
The Bishops, in their capacityas official teachers and judges,have the right to air their viewson the questions to be treated;for they constitute the mind ofthe Church in action in theprocess of formulating decrees.Much time and effort is spent in.arriving at precise wording for.these decrees, which must' thenbe submitted for confirmation bythe Pope. After papal confirmation these decrees become part'Qfthe solemn infallible teaching ofthe Church.
General councils are not strictly necessary inasmuch as, thePope can personally make dogmatic definitions under the influence of the Holy Spirit; butthe Holy Father does not definedoctrines, in practice, relyi~g
'solely on himself. Even thougbthe agreement of the Church isnot required for the infallibilityof a papal definition, the Pope,using natural prudence in addition to the influence of the HolySpirit, always employs mean~ toobtain' the agreement of .theChurch. Bishops are, consultedall over the world and the general beliefs of the faithful areexplored before solemn proclamations issue forth from theHoly See.
Doctrinal Matters
Sometimes doctrinal questionsare so complex and disputedamong Catholics or errors are sopernicious that the Holy Fatheruses an extraordinary means toascertain the mind of the Church.This extraordinary means is theecumenical council, whose func-
. tion it 'is to carefully consider thearguments of theologians andscholars and formulate the mindof the Church in doctrinal anddisciplinary matters. The ecumenical council is an extraordinary means precisely becausethey meet rarely and usuallyonly in connection with somegreat crisis in the life of theChurch.

WASHINGTON (NC)-PreSi-.dent Kennedy said here at Q
prl.!yer breakfast that religion "isthe basis of the issue" separat-ingthe U. S. from its adversaries.
The PresideI;lt told the men'liil,breakfast, attended by leadinggovernment, military anddiplomatic officials, that religion kJnot an instrument of the coldwar.
"Rather" he said "it is t1lJebasis of the issue' ~hich separates us from those who makGthemselves our adversary."
The President also drew mcontrast between the attitude ofU. 'S. austronaut Lt. Col. JohnH. Glenn Jr. and that of SovietcOl!monaut Maj. Gherman Titov.
Lauds Col. GlennThe President noted that~
Glenn stated recently that hehad made his .peace with Godyears before his space flight.But Titov, Mr., Kennedy re.called, said his space flight madehim realize the wonders of tmicommunist system.
"I prefer Col. Glenn's BJi)a
swer," said the President, "because I thought it was so solidlybased, in his 'own life, in hisactivities in his church, and Ithink reflects a quality which welike to believe, and I think wecan believe, is much a part ofour heritage."
The President then quotedAbraham Lincoln as saying: "Ibelieve there is a God. I see thestorm coming and I believe Hehas a hand in it. If He has a partand place for me, I believe thatI am ready."
In his own words, the Pres}..dent stated: "We see the stormcoming, and we believe He hasa hand in it, ;md if He has iiiplace and a part for us, I believethat we are ready."

Relp Children Learn
When you've taught the essentials of safety, give your childreasonable freedom and occasional i n for m a I supervision.Close surveillance and step-bystep directions undoubtedly willyield a better fort, but it willbe your fort, not his.
Help your children learn fromtheir mistakes. But let themmake mistakes. Let them carrya project to conclusion eventhough you feel sure they'll bedisappointed. Children are flexible and inventive; often contentto modify grandiose plans enroute. What starts as a rocket tothe moon may end with a roofand be called a club house.
These are important yearschildren practice and experimentwith skills and interests that frequently persist into adulthood.Mastery of materials, feelings ofsuccess and achievement and thefun of working with a group arethe rewards of these years inchildhood.

'Ceylon Bloc Presses,For School Seizures
COLOMBO (NC) ~ Only 15months after the government'sdecimation of Ceylon's Catholicschool system, ,an anti":Catholicbloc within the National Education Commission is pressing forgovernment seizure of the remaining private schools. '
But a Catholic member 6f thecommission has, countered wTiha memorandum charging thatsuch a move would be undemocratic and asserting that privateschools should be given government subsidies.
The leftist government headedby Premier Sirimavo Bandaranaike, beginning in December1960, pushed through a series oflaws providing for governmenttake-over of most privately operated schools. The Catholic schoolnetwork, the largest in the country, had about 750 institutions.Only 42 were able to take advantage 6f a provision of the lawswhich permitted topflight secondary schools to continue-without government aid and barredfrom charging tuition fees. 1

Bishop Larrain Errazuriz, whois the episcopal moderator ofChilean Catholic Action,' alsosaid that the amount of radiohours made possible by the donation will be used by theChurch in Chile for the broadcasting of religious programs. ' '
We,apon of TruthFather Considine noted that
the use to which the gift will beput <is in line ,with the programfor total coverage of LatinAmerica by mass' communications. This was recommendedby, a study committee of theCatholic Press Association of theU. S. after its survey made lastyear for CELAM, secretariat ofthe Latin American Bishops.
Seven years ago, when RadioChilena was inaugurated, Pope,Pius XII expressed the hope,that.the' station might become, aweapon of "transcendental truth":in the Church's battle for, truthand justice. ' '

Good ChristianLaity Is SpurTo Vocations
DENVER (!'fC) - Laypersons who Jive a Christianlife can provide a powerfulimpetus for increased religious vocations,according to anarticle in the vocations issue ofthe Register.
The article in the current national Catholic weekly newspaper points out that there isnot only a critical shortage ofpriests, Brothers and Sisters butalso of laity WllO live their Faithin everyday life.
Entitle "Everyone Has a Vocation," the article states:
Growing Concern"There is a growing concern
to realize the complementaryfunction of the laity and the Religious. The Church needs thelaity to bring Christ to the office,to the factory, to the ball park,and wherever men gather. Theirvocation is to radiate their Faithin the exercise of their profession." ,
Stating that there is "a shortage of people willing to live thevocations of a Christian life," thearticle adds: "Once the challengeof life is generally accepted bythe laity, it will not be long before the seminaries and noviti,.ates will be filled to overflow-ing." ,

One wonders if too much a.ttention is not paid tD politics.The major portion of newscasting and the press are devotecll towhat one politician and one country say of another. James lFreeman Clarke once remarked: "A politician thinks of the nextelection; a statesman, thinks of the next generation.;' Whetherthis be true or not, it Is generally assumed' that politics, In oneway or another, determines the world.
Pick up the Old Testament and read its historical books.What does one find? Was it the Prime Mtnister of Babylon, theSecretary of the Chaldean State or the Dictator of the Assyrian Union who were thecauses of wars and rumors of wars? Occa:'sions, certainly, but not causes. What determined peace to a great extent was thespiritual condition of Israel. When it obeyedthe Law of God,.it was at peace; whendishonesty, the breaking up of family, civildiscord and adultery arose, trouble began.Did not God say that'He would,punish themin war by making Assyria the "rod andstaff of His anger"? Time and, again Israelpulled down 'the pillars' of its own, houseand brought ruin upon its own head. 'True,war was the act of man, .but it was thejudgment of God. A man who does not eatsuffers a headache, but God does not send the headache by anexplicit desire. He has simply made it the law of nature that weshould eat; by disobeying, we bring discomfort upon ourselves.
The Church is the new ][srael, the fellowship of those whobelieve in Redemption and the prolongation of Christ in nRnsMystical Body. More than politics, it is the spiritual conditionof the Church at any given time that determines the peace OR'
woe of the world. Could not Russia be the "rod and staff" ofGod's anger, just as Assyria was in the Old Testament? llf weallow ·the break-Up of family, if we refuse to discipline' OUR'

Physical'EducQ'ti:ori "ProgrdmsIn Diocesan Schools AnswerChallenge on Youth Fitness
BY Clement J. DowlingCanadians were astonished and somewhat hurt when
Prince Philip charged them with being soft and flabby.Americans have been accused of the same by their ownphysical culture experts. Analysis of the situation foundthe charges to be true. Some58 per cent of 7,000 American children were unable topas s the Kraus - Weberphysical fitness tests in 1956.Only 9 per cent failed in certainEuropean nations. '
President Kennedy anxiouslyset up the President's Councilon Youth Fitness. The challengeand recommendations offered bythe Council have met a readyresponse in our Catholic highschools.
Taunton's Coyle students supplement their varsity athleticswit h intramural basketball,tennis, volleyball and handball.Like students in most of ourDiocesan schools their freshmenand sophomores engage inprescribed calisthenics and tumbling.
Two-thirds of the girls at Dominican Academy, Fall River,take part in intramural basketball and volleyball under thedirection of Miss Nancy Walsh.The Fall River girls also followthe exercise routine suggestedby the President's Council. Composed of 10 girls from each classtheir Athletic Association plansand controls the physical education aspect of their high schoollife.
Dream ProgramParents of Jesus-Mary Acad
emy students will gather in theschool hall to watch their daughters vie in various athletic contests. This sports night will pinpoint the physical accomplishments of the J.M.A. girls.
Next week the Attleboros'Bishop Feehan High rolls into'high gear with a new physicaleducation program that will include intramural baseball, track,golf, volleyball and tennis. Theirnew gym program will featurecalisthenics.
Called a dream program byphysical education teachers, FallRiver's Sacred Hearts Academydivides its school into St. Margaret's and St. Agnes' teams andcarries on year long activitieswhich culminate in two ParentNights.
Unique in its approach, everystudent is a participant in aseries of relays, stunts, andgames. Mrs. George E. Snyder,physical education director, isbeing assisted by school captainAnn Turner, team captains Patricia Mead, St. Agnes, ElizabethCoIllns, St. Margaret's, and cochairmen of the Athletic Council, Eleanor Hacking, St. Agnes;Angela Medeiros, St. Margaret's.
Towards FitnessWithout a gymnasium of its
own, Prevost High uses nearbyLafayette Park for intramuralvolleyball, baseba'll and softball.Stifled by the lack of any facilities, New Bedford's Holy Family High finds it impossible tocarry on any physical development program.
Sacred Hearts Academy inFairhaven, St. Anthony's, NewBedford, Bishop Stang, NorthDartmouth, St. Mary's in Taunton, and Mt. St. Mary's, FallRiver-all have intramural programs designed to promote goodhealth, keeping in mind President Kennedy's recent words:"There is an increasingly largenumber of young Americans whoare neglecting their bodieswhose physical fitness is notwhat it should be--who are getting soft." Hard to face is theSelective Service fact that oneyoung American in two todayis ,rejected.

The Port Authority of NewYork announced approval of thedesigns for the chapels, described
. as being of "varied but relatedform, with stone exterior."
The chapels will be located onone-acre sites along a 655-footlagoon opposite the airport'sInternational Arrival Building.The area will be called ChapelPlaza.
The new Catholic chapel willreplace the present Catholicchapel, Our Lady of the Skies,which was built in 1953. Anaverage of 1,500 per~ons attendthe five Sunday Masses offeredeach week at the chapel. It willremain in use until the newchapel is completed and thenwill be razed.
Construction of the chapels isbeing opposed by t' ~ Freethinkers of America, New York, onthe grounds that use of publicproperty for the project violatesseparation of Church and State.
The Port Authority has saidit is renting the one-acre plotsat the standard rate of $1,300 ayear. The chapels will be constructed by the three faithsthemselves.
A Freethinkers suit againstthe project was dismissed by thestate Supreme Court. An appealhas been entered in the Appellate-Division.

:- A statewide organizationformed here to obtain statefinanced bus transportationfor pupils of private schools will"fight to the finish" for its objective, its c~airman said.
The statement was made byJames P. Cox of Jefferson City,chairman of the Missouri Committee for Equal School BusTransporta tion.· Some 60 delegates attendedthe organization's meeting here,and the majority of them weresaid to be Catholic parents.
Plan CampaignThe organization issued a
statement saying ,its purpose isto "spend its time, efforts and
jinances calling upon the General Assembly to pass legislation to give private and paro-'chial school children the sametype of bus transportation givenpublic school children,"
Cox said that "a fight to thefinish is planned and an effortto raise money for the campaignwill begin immediately,"
The committee adopted theslogan "Bucks for Buses." '
Cox said that a speakers'bureau will be set up and thecommittee will employ a lobbyist.
Luth'erans Agree"We have no argument with
the public school system," hesaid. "If we are successful, itwon't cost I;I1uch more money tothe state because the majority of
·the school buses are passingmany of our doors now."
Rev. Walter Niedner, pastor ofTrinity Lutheran church here,said that Lutherans are in sympathy with the committee'scause.
Atty. Gen. Thomas F. Eagleton has ruled that because ofa 1953 Supreme Court decision,private school children cannotbe given bus transportation bythe state under Missouri's constitution. His' opinion is thesame as that handed down byGov. M'- Dalton when lie was attorney general.
CORDOBA (NC) - PresidentArturo Frondizi declared herethat Argentina is Catholic anddemocratic and therefore cannot'be materialistic or communistic.
The President rejected charges,that Argentina's striving for economic 'development is beingmade at the cost of ~ts spiritualvalues. The true materialists, hesaid, are those who deny thepossibility of progress, and thusaid the communist cause.
"This Argentine" nation, Catholic, idealistic, democratic, tolerant, respectful of individualfreedoms and of freedom withinthe law, cannot be materialisticor communistic," he said in aspeech here.

The same thing can be saidabout the Washington representatives of unions and trade associations, Their number is steadilyincreasing, and more and moreof their time is being devotedto lobbying, -
The Brookings report takesnote of the dangers involved in 'the growth of lobbying in Washington but concludes that thesedangers can be effectively counteracted.
The report says, that "therewill be countervailing forces atwork" (the force of other lobbies, for example) and that "aconsiderable group of politiciansand others will be vocally critical of ~rresponsible conduct,"

Washington, like. the capital of every other I!ationwith a democratic f<;>rm of government, is a happy huntingground for lobbyists representing not only labor and management but a great variety of other special interestgroups as, well. The exactnumber of lobbyist~ inWashington at any giventime is a matter of conjecture '\:lut it would probably befair'to say that there are morethis year thanthere were lastyear and thatthere will bestill more tomorrow t ha nthere are today
Surely this isa safe predictionin the particular case of unions, trade assosociations andindividual companies or businesses. The numberof lobbyists in these three cate~
gories has increased by leapsand bounds during the pastquarter of a century, and thechances are it will continue togrow at a steap.y pace for theindefiriite future.
. Brookings StudyThis forecast, in the specific
case of individual company orbusiness representa~ives, is corroborated by a study 'entitled"The Business Representative inWashington" published recentlyby the Brookings Institution, anindependent organization devoted to nonpartisan research,education, and publication. ineconomics, government, forelgnpolicy and the social sciencesgenerally.
This study-a' report on theround-table discussions of 19Washington business representatives on the nature and scope oftheir job as they see it-says thatabout 130 of the country's 200biggest manufacturing companieshave already established Washington offices and predicts thatmany others can be expected tofollow suit::
"It ic; probably," the Brookingsstudy says, "that most largecompanies will have Washingtonoffices and that many mediumsized or even smaller companieswill also have offices if they do'an appreciable ,volume of workfor the government. The officesthemselves will probably b~
larger than those of today, perhaps averaging 10 people, notcounting clerical personneL"
