'Catholic Press as Open F:orum' Conference Topic at Ma rCluette

MILWAUKEE (NC) - ''The Catholic Press as an Open For­urn" will be the topic of a con­ference conducted by the Marquette University ,Institute o( the Catholic Press here Jan. 28 and 29.

The meeting will be open to editors and staff members of the American Catholic magazines and diocesan' newspapers. Ses­sions will be conducted as round­table discussions of previously prepared statements to be sent to all participants.

David Host, institute director said in a statement on the meeting: "Most Catholic journalists now realize that the role of the open forum, one of the oldest recog­nized roles of the press, is among the most. important that the Catholic press can perform for our day.

"But neither the Catholic press as a whole nor any single periodical ean perfectly repro­

duce i:he social jeunction of the personal, vocal :l'orum in small communities. In some ways the press can improve on it; in some ways periodicals ,cannot help but fan sholt of it, ;and very often today external circumstances interfere.

''The purpose of the confer­ence is to study the press' powel'll and limitations hi order to dis­cover how Catholic periodicals Clllll best function as open forums for their readers, the local com­munity and the C:b.urch at large."

BALTIMORE (NC)-A Balti ­more Circuit Court Judgehas thrown out the suit against property tax exemptions for churches which was filed by self-avowed atheist Mrs. Mada­lyn Murray.

Judge William Barnes said he would explain the basis for his dismissal in a memorandum lat­er.

Mrs. Murray and those who support her suit have 30 days to appeal to the Maryland Court of Appeals. In Honolulu, Hawaii, where she now resides, Mrs. Murray told inquiring newsmen she plans on appeal.

Birthday Present Leaves 'Em Smiling

BROOKLAWN (NC) - The tenth anniversary of St. Maur­ice's church here in New Jersey was c'elebrated in, to say the least, unusual fashion. Some parishioners haven't yet recov­ered fully.

Father Daniel F. M. Millard, pastor, took the pulpit during each of four Sunday Masses. He thanked his parishioners for their "cooperation, loyalty and devo­tion" and added that he had a birthday present for them. It brought big smiles and, as Father Millard said, "at first I thought they were going to burst into applause."

He made the announcement, simply, directly-there would be no collection.

Concrete Details Father Ewing's book is at its

best when he sticks to concrete details. This would be in its first two sections and part of the third. When he later takes up matters like crucifixion in the first century, or the Holy Land today and the relationship of its sacred places to the events of the Gospel, he is sketchy about mat­ters which oth~rs have treated very fully and expertly.

Thus, while, in a general way we grasp the meaning of our Lord's calling Himself the Good Shepherd, we may be puzzled by his saying, in this connection, "I am the door."

Father Ewing tells us that he has seen a shepherd building a C<lrral of stones or thorn bushes for his sheep, putting the beasts inside for the night, then lying down in the entrance to the en­closure.

Yule Letter Real Treasure

By Mary Tinley Daley It's here, that perennial

"Christmas feeling," combi­nation of awe at the re-reali­zation of awe at the reali­and the human warmth toward all men of good will. Carols, bombarding our ears since be­fore Thanksgiv­ing, still enkin­dle age n tIe glow, a sense of antieipa­t ion. Family ties bind more closely at this time of year, strengthened by memories of Christmases spent together, rejuvenated by an ever-expand­ing family. And that expanded "family" includes not only in­laws and grandchildren, but en­compasses neighbors - not only those living hereabouts - but those to whom a friendly gesture can mean a lot ;it this tender season.

We like to think, too, that the Christmas bit sliPPed' into an envelope and sent on to the mis­sions will lighten the load just a little for those who are doing Christ's work far away from their own homes.

Real Gift . Each family, of course, has its own Christmas traditions, built through the years, carried on through generations. One of our most cherished, though certainly far from original, is the custom started perhaps 20 years ago by my sister Margaret, God rest her soul. On Christmas morning, never fail, a warm, loving letter from Margaret would arrive by special delivery at the homes of all family members who had moved away from our midwest­ern town. Since Margaret's death, ,our sister-in-law, Wanda Tinley, has continued the pre­cious practice, one we too have adopted wholeheartedly.

This doesn't mean, of course, that there are no long-distance telephone calls on Christmas night. It's great, just great, hear­ing the actual voices of distant loved ones-if you can break through that "Sorry, all circuits are busy" message. But to have that letter -long, newsy and loving - that means somebody thinks of you, caring enough to sit down and write during the hectic pre-Christmas rush, to figure mailing time so that it arrives or the day-well that's even greater.

At Your House No matter what else has to

give, we resolve, that is one tra­dition - the Christmas letter­not to be abandoned or accom­plished with a once-over-light17.

When she told Princess Nerphrita and Princess Moy Moy her plan, they wanted to go with her. But first they had to choclse presents for the Baby.

In your well-organized houses, undoubtedly by this time all handmade presents are finished, the rest bought (perhaps even all paid for) and all wrapped. Fruit cakes have long been aging, same with the eggnog; tree lights have been tested, not a bulb missing; cards are in the mail, with even the "problem children" taken care of, new addresses for those who have moved or married; the house is shining from cellar to attic, the Christmas creche has been re­paired; decorations are ready for hanging; turkey ordered, same with tree and wreaths; scores of cookies are baked and in the freezer; holiday entertainment arranged down to the last canape and cocktail napkin;.family's en­tire wardrobe in apple-pie order.

At our house, we have made a running start on all these pleas­ant activities but as the days proceed we find ourselves get­ting a second wind, somehow. With a spurt of ..enthusiasm we become carried away, as it were, into projects that always take longer than we had envisioned.

For instance, along about Dec. 20 each year, somebody gets the bright idea of doing some paint­ing-not decorative, Christmasy painting, mind you, but some­thig that should have been done last October, like a bedroom, the upstairs hall. Once it was even the kitchen!

On the distaff side, once the sewing machine is zipping away at doll clothes, wouldn't it be a good idea to "run up" a gay cocktail dress for ourselves or one of the girls? And why not knit a stole? Far nicer, and less expensive, than those in the stores.

And so, my dear organized ones, these are some of the rea­sons why on the Night Before Christmas, all through the house -Our House-many creatures are stirring and a mouse would be afraid to come in.

Somehow, though, everything gets done somehow - and the things that don't can just wait

9 Children's Sensitivity Offers Hope for Peace Among Men

By MarDynand Joseph Roderick There is a little boy who uses our yard for a short

lOt to sohool and to the corner store. Like most little boys he always seems to be carrying a stick or a handful of stones. As every gardener knows, children bear watching in a garden, especially when they have the tools with which to inflict damage.

However, this boy is dif­ferent. When flowers ace in bloom he never fails to stop and look at them. He may stoop to RIlell them or merely touch a Bower, but it is obvious that he JlleCeives a great deal of enjoy­ment from a garden. On one oc­easion I saw him sit for at least 210 minutes watching humming­birds feed on coral bells. I have even seen him leave his friends lor several minutes when a par­ticular flower caught his eye.

My younger daughter, Melissa, Is my helper in the garden. Al­though she is only three years old, she can be trusted to weed • flower bed as well as can be expected for a child her age, but more importantly, she win do the job without uprooting or _epping on a single plant. She ean be trusted to water plants correctly and to remove dead flowers from marigolds, petunias , and the like without hurting a budding flower. She is the first to notice a new flower or new bloom and is continually walk­ing into the garden to' smell the flowers. Her only failure as. a gardener is that she doesn't like bees or worms.

I mention these two children lit Christmas because I believe that "peace among men of good will" may depend less upon 1. Q. and achievement in school wbich we Americans have made almost the sole criteria for success, than on a love of beauty an,d living things. Both these -children have • sensitivity which can o.nly lead to kindness to others and a love at all God's creatures.

In the Kitchen During this holiday season, we

women of the house find our­selves spending more and more time in the kitchen' preparing for Christmas Day. Truly, half the joy of the celebration itself is the thought and love that go into the planning of it. The baking and decorating, along with the shopping, gift wrapping and card writing, push us along at fever pitch until the evening of Christmas when we sit down happy, but utterly exhausted. As we sit amidst the crumpled wrappings, the fruitcake crumbs, and the dolls who no longel' burp, tear, or echo, after a hectic day with their new little mis­tresses, the last thing in the world that we want to face is tile kitchen stove.

It is right and availing unto salvation, that we should give thanks unto Thee, 0 holy Lord, Father al ­migh ty, an d everlasting God. Because by the mystery of the Word made flesh the new light of Thy glory hath shone upon the eyes of our mind; that while we a c know 1 e d g e Him to be God seen by men, we may be drawn by Him to the love of things invisi ­ble.

An excellent remedy for this situation is "do it ahead" food, such as the following date and nut loaf. This moist, tasty bread ' can be uSed either for a dessert or with cream cheese as a tasty sandwich. It can be baked dur­ing your Christmas baking and will keep for over a week, that is if you can keep it away fl'oin your husband that long. This is my mother's 'recipe (Mrs. Ray­mond Morin, St. Patrick's parish, Fall River), and whenever she makes a loaf for a cake sale or party she has to make one for Joe too, or she'd have a mighty disappointed son-in-law.

BOONTON (NC)-They sang carols at the Christmas concert given by the New Jersey Boon­ton High School glee club after all.

'In fact, the school officials said an earlier announcement that caroling would be dropped from the concert because it was "too religious," was all a mistake.

William Potter, school princi­pal, said changes were requested in the program because. it was deemed that last year's perfor­mance was two-third "religious." He added: "We asked the choral director to mix up the numbers more this year and he did so. By no means did we go to the ex­treme of banning carols. We must follow a policy that win not offend any religious group."

The committee has arranged successful showings at a big Bur­bank theater of films like, "Mistty," ''Dog of Flanders," "'Ivanhoe," and "The Trapp Fam­ny."

"We all want movies that help .lItrengthen the moral and patri ­otic stature of our American ehildren," the committee states.

Asserts LiturgyMovement NeedsAble ScholarsBy Rev. Andrew M. Greeley

There can be no doubt ~atftle A mer i e a n liturgicalmovement has won a victory.r almost incredible propor­.ons. The relatively harmonious"ange to the vernacular liturgyen the l!'irstaunday of Ad­wnt was some­th'''lg that eventhe most op­timistic of theBturgists wouldaot have ex­pected in theirlifetimes 0 n 1yfive years ago.Most of the hes- .ttant clergy waswon over onthe First Sunday of Advent, andlW'Vey data that 85 per cent ofthe laity are in favor of theeharige. Not only has liturgicalrenewal won the day; it has evenbecome popular.

Structural reform.of the lit­1Il'gy is a major step 'forward; but• is not enough. The use of the

. vernacular and the reform of themissal will make the liturgy itmuch more fiexible tool in thepedagogy of Christian worship.

But as Romano Guardini re­eently pointed out, the task ofeducating people in the meaningof worship is an immense one;change in language and struc­ture is essential to this task but.~ sufficient.

Part of the problem was poin­ted up by one of the great lit­1II1Jiea1 pioneers: "We wereready for the advances in Scrip­ture studieil in this coU11tl7 be­eause we have 25 or 30 firstrate Serlptural SCholars who un­derstood what was going on; butwe have only a handful of com­petent scholars in liturgical stud­Ies.

"!be American liturgical move~ment has until very recently notbeen able to afford the apparentluxyry of having men of thought-tbeologians, artists, 8Ocia1 sci.,.entiBts-who can spend most oftheir time pondering goals andmethods for liturgical revival.

"'Let us pray that she may come to enlighten souls, espec­ially during this preparatory period for Christmas, and that she may give us the comfort of her light."

To make Christmas happy, the Pope continued, "we must re­view our life. in the light of Christ. We need to be enlight­ened by the Lord in order to understand our lives-who we are, what we must do, where our steps are leading us.

"We remind you that the words of the Gospel in the pro­logue of St. John tell us that Christ is the Light of the World which comes to illuminate our lives ... We have a great need of it because our ills arise from uncertainty, from the confusion of our ideas, from not knowing what we must do and think."

The very name given to the God Who became Man WI.

"Jesus" which is the Greek for "Savior." If a Hebrew name were used instead of Greek. He would be called "Joshua," the savior who brought the people of God into the Promised Land. The Gospel, therefore, ties up Christmas with the salvation of sin­"Jesus, Who saves us from our sins."

During the year, you will read about the misery of JesWl prolonged in His Church; you will hear of the hunger of Latin America; the poverty of priests, bishops and religious in Asia; the misery of lepers. Never say: "Oh I must send them a dollar; they are so miserable." But rather: "I am so miserable! What can I do to express my poverty, my spiritual leprosy, my soul which is worse than a hovel?" When you think this way, you think Christian; 1"ou think with the mind of Chr:ist. Above all you will understand that you never become conscious of another's misery until you are conscious of your own sins. Making up for your spiritual misery by helping their physical misery. will tum your misery into some­thing merry-Merry Christmas.

Teacher Firing Causes Rise Of Protest

WASHINGTON (NC) ­More than 1,200 Georgetown University students have signed a petition asking the Jesuit school to reconsider its dismissal of English professor Francis E. Kearns.

Kearns was told last June that his contract at Georgetown would not be renewed. He has said he believes his dismissal stems from articles he published in Catholic magazines criticizing Georgetown for its attitudes on race relations and academic freedom.

The petition eaid the teacher's dismissal is "bound to be widely interpreted as Ii punitive mea­sure."

The student council of George­town College meanwhile adopted a resolution urging the adminis­tration to clear up its stand on the issue.

Five students met with Father Gerard J. Campbell, S.J., univer­sity president, to present the pe­tition. Thomas Anselmi, a senior, said after the meeting that Father Campbell stated that fac­ulty and administration reports on Kearns' case are confidential.

Keaorns has asked the Ameri­ean Association of University Professors to investigate what he called the "questionable cir ­cumstances" surrounding his dis­missal. Last Summer 17 faculty members signed a pjetition say­ing his dismissal would "rightly" be interpreted as "an attack on his controversial character as an articulate and outspoken liberal Catholic."

Ig d To Remove Tree

PANMUNJON (NC) - The United Nations command has again ignored a communist de­mand to remove a Christmas tree set up on the southern boundary of the Korean demil­itarized zone overlooking a val­ley in the communist portion of the zone.

The communists made the de­mand at a meeting of Military Armistice Commission secrettar­ies held at Panmunjom, the neu­tral area in the middle of the zone.

Two years ago the communists made a similar demand when a lighted Christmas tree was erec­ted by United Nations forces where the Reds could get a good look at it. At that time Col. Vincent F. Goodsell, the Military Armistice Commission chief sec­retary replied: "Free men have been lighting Christmas trees for 1,900 yeal·S. We are not golD' to stop now,-'

Television Mass For All Eng10nd ,

LONDON (NC) _ Midnight t_

Mass will be broadcast through­out Britain at Christmas this year.

The British Broadcasting Cor­poration is taking its micro­phones to the Norbetine Priory of Our Lady of England at StQr­rington in Sussex for midnight Mass on the major (Home) wavelength. This serves the whole country;

South and central England will have televized midnight Mass from the Ealing Benedic­tine Abbey, West London. This is being produced by Indepen'd­ent (commercial) television. '

The B.B.C. is televizing Mass from St. Mary's cathedral, Edin­burgh, on Dec. 27.

In addition British Catholics usually are able to hear Catho­

. lie midnight Masses and other Catholic Christmas services fro,m Continental Europe and from Ireland.

Priest Charges Government DALLAS (NC)-An official of

the Bishops' Committee for the Spanish Speaking charged here in Texas that the U. S. already has made a deal which will permit importation of Mexican nationals for migrant work in this country.

Father John A. Wagner said braceros, who are to be barred from the U. S. with the Dec. 31 deadline of Public Law 78, soon will be able to cross the Amer­ican border again under Public Law 414.

The priest, who is executive secretary of the bishops' com­mittee, made the charge while testifying at the U. S. Depart­ment of Labor hearing here con­cerning the importation of for­eign workers.

"If this were not so," Father Wagner said, "why would the Department of Labor be charged with the responsibility of hold­ing hearings to consider the cri ­teria for the employment of for­eign agricultural workers in the United States?"

Priest Is Preacher At Episcopal Rite

SANTA FE (NC)-Msgr. Fran­cis Tournier, rector of Immacu­late Heart of Mary Catholic seminary here in New Mexico, preached the sermon at a service in st. Bede's Episcopal church here. .

The seminary rector had been invited to preach by the Rev. Wlliam E. Crews, vicar of St. Bede's, a longtime friend. The arrangement was approved by Catholic Archbishop James Peter Davis of Santa Fe and Episcopal Bishop Charles J. Kinsolving of New Mexico -.d Southwest Tu..

Spelling out the bishops' com­mittee opposition to Public Law 414, Father Wagner said the labor importation would hamper the administration's war on poverty.

Negates Poverty War "Presently when we are begin­

ning to engage in a war on pov­erty, it is impossible to compre­hend that our Federal govern­ment would be a party to a sit ­uation which would allow the perpetuation of poverty on this side of the border by exploiting the even greater poverty on the other side. Why should the exec­utive branch of our government negate its very own war on poverty?" he declared.

Father Wagner said he had his doubts about attempts to block Public Law 414.

"No matter how violently we oppose the importation of for­eign workers to do farm work in the U. S. and how strongly we

Parishes Plan Mutual Help

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Two pastors have joined in a pian of mutual help between me'!Uoers of St. Elizabeth's parish here and Sacred Heart parish in nearby Manoa, Pa.

Details of the "Sister-Parish .Program" were announced by the Commission on Human Rela­tions of the Philadelphia rach­diocese.

Father Thomas B. Falls of Sacred Heart parish tOO3: up a collection at his parish to pur­chase Christmas food cert:ficates for needy families in St. E'i:Z3­beth's parish, to be distributed by the pastor, Father John Mc­Hale.

Sacred Heart schOOl chHd!'en conducted a two-day collection of food stuffs for Christmas bas­kets to brighten the tables of the poor of St. Elizabeth's parish. The food will be delivered by Students of St. Charles Borro­meo Seminary at nearby Over­brook.

Father Philip J. Dowling, ex­ecutive secretary of the human relations commission, explained that other activities are planned to build a permanent "bria.·ge" between the two parishes, in­duding common parish meetings, athletic contests, choil' ex­changes and family visits be­tween members of both parishes.

Protest Seven-Day Work in England

LONDON (NC)-Britain's in­... dustrial pressure that keeps its machines and men working through the week, including Sunday, has been protested by a Catholic, Anglican and Protes­tant group.

This state of affairs, said the protesters, who included five priests and Abbot Christpoher Butler, O.S.B., of Downside Ab­bey, "will have serious conse­quences to health, family life and Christian living if persisted in unreasonably."

Addressing both employers and unions, the religious group said: "We are conscious that there is the need for productiv­ity, expensive -machinery that needs to be worked continuous­ly, but 4: * 4: excess is unwise."

Workers, they said, have need for "at least one day of rest, the Lord's Day, and to have time for family life and the worshi9 of God."

Meanwhile, a government-ap­pointed committee has conc:uded a three year study of restrictions in Britain on Sunday sl)orts, en­tertainment and commercial ac­tivity. It recommended relaxa­tion of some of the Sunday laWs.

Question Legality Of Book Covers

WEST NEW YORK (NC)­The superinendent of schools in this New Jersey community has asked the State Commission­er of Education for a ruling on the legality of book covers con­taining a prayer, to be distrib­uted by a local American Legion post.

The ruling was asked by John J. White, Jr., after the post's of­fer was referred to him by the West New York Board of Educa­tion.

Cannine Borrelli, commander of the legion post, said the prayer is non-denominational and the covers also would be available to any parochial school requesting them. Borrelli said the legion has received approval to distribute the book covers in New York public schools.

The prayer is printed on the back cover beneath a declaration which notes that the nation was founded on Godly principles and "we are dependent upon God for peace and hope." Below the in­troduction is a suggestion to the student that he "pray the follow­ing prayer at the beginning of each school day."

Energy of Youth Includes Physical, Mental, Spiritual

By Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, S. J.

By now the old gripe that it is too bad youth has to be wasted on the young is old stuff. And clever as it sounds, one sometimes gets the impression that it is only the sad, remorseful lament of the old who never used their youth when they had the chance. . Th.ere ~s t~e ener~y of an

Yet the dictum does have actIve Im~gmatIon, which pre­. ' . ,vents any Idleness and boredom,

a p~mt. It has no httl~ depth to It, too, because It SUp­poses that youth is not exactly synonymous with chronological age. It's also trying to say that the youth who does iden­tify wit h a small-digit age doesn't neces­sarily h a v e enough matur­ity yet to un­derstand what

• ~ a marvelous tim e youth really can be.

Now while youth is not a syno­nym for chronologic"al' age, it is a synonym for life and energy. We look on the old person with life and energy as exceptional, and we remark "how young he is." On the other hand, we look on the teen-ager who hasn't this life and energy as "old," in the worst sense of that term, already wound out.

The pre-teen who is absorbed, Rot in the activities of a real pre-teen but in the external trappings of adults--"sophisti ­eated" hair-dos, cars, what have you-this kid is old, and will, if he or she gets that far, be bored to death long before adulthood sets in.

The teen-ager who forgets that he is a teen-agel' in his mad race (usually with his parents on the sidelines screaming him on) to "be an adult," with the external superficialities of adultS--Qver­dating, drinking, cars, smoking, the works--this poor character is missing' all the genuine joys of real youth by making life a constant, fake masquerade.

Wrong Kind Now unfortunately when you

PhYSICal energy IS a great gift,

lind '~hank God if you still haveIt. But just as the physical pa~ of your being is made to serve the rest of you and not to rule you Gompletely, so, too, physical ener~y is ~ot the ,end-all and ~­all o.f eXIstence, but only Its helpe,r.

'~ Energy to Thint Th~re is such a thing ~ men';'

tal 4r intellectual energy-the energy to read and think,_ for. instahce. There is the energy to put :y.our thoughts into words, so that you do not pale in fright, say, '''hen the TV set is bu~ed out and you have to talk With somej::me. There is the energy need'ed to write an interesting letteIj now and then instead of eopying the form from some some' business college text all the time. '

because there are so many inter­esting things to do that one could never get all of them done in a lifetime. This is, in fact, one beef I have against some teen-agers today, that they sit back and say, in effect "Come on and entertain us. There's just nothing to do around here."

Admittedly, our society has been responsible for this. So have our modern inventions for passive entertainment. But still, the young person who is really young-not hysterically so nor only, physimilly, but mentally, spiritually and imaginateively­should be able to rise above his environment, supplying his own challenges where society seems to provide none.

There is, for instance, nothing preventing the teen-agers "with nothing to do" fron_ giving some of this empty time to alleviating some of the poverty of any given city, or to removing some of its ignorance, or to allaying some of the loneliness-even some of its loneliness for instance, of many books on the library shelves.

The really you n g person doesn't have to resort to the most unimaginative of all dating "ac­tivities," necking, or "making out" to use the proper elegant term. Any slob with no real youth, no intelligence, no imag­ination, no nothing which counts can indulge in this insult to his date (who is only the immediate object of his pleasure and could be substituted for) and to his own human nature.

Means 10 Final End Come to think of it it doesn't

College Students Find Confession Good for Soul

EAST LANSING (NC) Students at Michigan State University here are firm be­lievers in the old adage, "con­fession is good for the soul"-as three Franciscan priests discov­ered.

During a retreat for the 6,300 Catholic students at the univer­sity, the three priests spent 12 hours during each of three days in the confessionals at St. John's church.

Fathers Virgil Geers, O.F.M., Elgar Nadon, O.F.M., and Dacian Batt, O.F'.M., all from Cincinnati, planned it that way. They gave each student from 15 to 25 minu­utes in the confessional for a discussion of personal problems and a general confession. They found the students felt freer to discuss their problems in the confessional than elsewhere. The

Mother Mary Albert, superior for the community's Cincinnati province, said complete secular­ization of the habit is jarring to lay people, will not make Sisters closer to those they serve and will not definitely increase voca­tions.

"Many members of the laity, among them a number of non­Catholics, have indicated to me and to our Sisters that a com­plete secularization of the reli ­gious habit would not be in har­mony with their notion of a Religious," Mother Mary Albert said.

They 'expressed the hope, she continued, that if a change is made, the habit will be "some­thing that sets a Religious' apart and indicates her total consecra­tion to her Divine Spouse and retreat was sponsored by theRE-ENACT VISIT OF THREE WISE MEN: African youngsters, members of a Mary­the works of the apostolate in

Education Board Ri.dicules Ban On Education

CINCINNATI (NC)-The Board .of Education here h.as adop-ted a statement of p-ol­icy rejecting' the total ab­sence of religion from publie schools as an absurdity."

Unanimously adopted by the board, the statement said that "absolutely no religion" in pub­lic schools would be as out-of­place as "a completely sectarian viewpoint of religion in educa­tion."

Subtracting religion from edu­cation, the statement' said, require that religion never be referred to, and consequently would require neglect of a siz­able amount of man's history and culture, including our own American heritage."

"Such a position would not imply a neutral attitude, but would support a philosophy of secularism-a philosophy which has no more right of espousal than has any given religious philosophy," the statement held.

Use of Christmas trees and or­naments, and singing of Christ­mas carols,. Handel's "Messiah," "America," and "Battle Hymn of the Republic" all 'receive ap­proval.

"Certain customs," the state­ment explained, "while directly or indirectly connected with. re­ligion, have taken on a meaning and tradition more general than their religious significance and have become rooted in the cultu­ral fabric of the community. Such customs should not be con­strued as sectarian indoctrina­tion."

In discussing religious holy days, the policy statement pointl! out that pupils may be excused from school on days considered holy' to their religious faith. Teachers are instructed that ex­aminations are not to be given, or new work started, on such days.

School choirs, orchestras, and drama groups are permitted to take part in programs which present materials of a religious nature "as long as the programs are not conducted as services' of

Display of religious symbols in the classroom is forbidden "un­less such display is intrinsic to a subject matter unity."

As to prayer, the statement indicates that prevailing law

WASHINGTON (NC)-Catho­lie high schools should de-em­phasize interscholastic football and substitute an intramural program, a professional publica­tion for school principals sug­gests.

The hoopla and tension that surrounds high school football interferes with studies, says "Pointers for Principals," a pub­:dcation of the Secondary School Department of the National Catholic Educational Associa­tion.

Missioner Says Christmas Saddest Day Appalachia

WASHINGTON (NC)-ClHear­tng a radio announcer say how many shopping days were left before Christmas, 1 couldn't help feeling how terribly incongruous this is for the people 1 work with.. They aren't affected. by the number of shopping days be­cause they don't have the money to buy the things other people buy at Christmastime."

This was the comment of Father Ralph Beiting, pastor of a four-county area of eastern Kentucky where "the poorest of Appalachia's poor live."

Father Beiting was in Wash­ington where he hoped to get recognition from the newly­formed. Office of Economic Op­portunity for what he calls ''The Christian Appalachian Project,· a community-centered. plan to provide jobs for some of the poorest people in America today.

Pastor Seeks Government Aid cover up cracks in hovels where often large families of children live-ehildren who are cold and oftentimes without proper nour­ishment," Father Beiting said.

"Almost 30 per cent of the f8ll)ilies in this county make less than $1,000 a year, and the average income for the whole county is only $1,600 a year," he said.

The priest told of one father he knows who has tried to·keep his family of nine children on about $20 a week, which he earns if he is lucky enough to get two days work a week hauling coal for $5 a load.

Bagged Toys "Last Christmas we delivered

a lot of toys to some of the chil ­dren around Jackson County," Father Beiting said. "I never saw anything so striking in my life .. they grabbed the toys and hugged. them and wouldn't put them down even for a minute."

He told 01. a man be gave a

Hft to last Christmas day. The fellow had two sacks with him that he hoped to fill with kin­dling wood to sell to some wom­an for a quarterd a sack.

An eight-inch snow had fallen and the twigs and branches on the ground would be hard to find, the priest recalled. He later took the man home to dscover six children living in a two-room shed. with no running water or electricity "It was hard to tell that this was Christmas day," Father Beiting said. ''There wasn't a sign anywhere in this house that this was Christmas day at all, that Christ has come and brought joy to the world. Eight people slept in two beds, one without a mattress. The kids would throw their clothes over the bare springs and cover them­selves with a blanket··· How sadly neglected has Christ been in this area where Christmas is just another day."

"One wonders if this is so bad after all, if the only reason for coming to the Catholic high school is to make the team," said the publication which is edited by Father C. Albert Koob, O. Praem., of the NCEA staff.

A substitute for interscholastic football would be "better intra­mural programs which involve 100 per cent of the school enroll ­ment in good healthy competi­tive activity without the grand­stands and nervous frustratiOn," the publication said.
