ORIGINS: The term “A-l”,
as, e.g., "The car is in A-l
condition.” A-l means first-
rate, the very best. In Lloyd’s
REGISTER OF BRITISH AND
FOREIGN SHIPPING, the
Character of the ship’s hull
is designated by LETTERS, and
that of the anchors, cables, and
stores by figures or NUMBERS.
Thus A-l means hull first-
rate, and also anchors, cables
and stores; A-2, hull first-
rate, but furniture second-rate.
Vessels of an inferior charac
ter are classified under the
letters AE, E, and I. (Brewer’s

Catholics Are Active In Putting
School Case Before Australian Public
SYDNEY, Australia, (NC) -
Catholics are actively setting
their case for tax aid to non
state schools before the Aus
tralian public.
A 20-page pamphlet entitled
Independent Schools in a Free
Society” summarizes many of
the views that were brought
sharply before Austrailians by
the recent protest closing of
the Catholic schools at Goul-
burn.
The author, Auxiliary Bishop
James Carroll of Sydney,
divides the subject into four
parts: freedom of parents, free
dom and equality, freedom of
religion and freedom in a plu
ralist society.
Bishop Carroll states that
in Australia, by excluding the
children of independent schools
from any share of the public

largest city, where the local
parish was celebrating its 100th
anniversary. Until 1960, public
worship in Sweden was restrict
ed to the Lutheran state
churches.
On that occasion, Archbishop
Heim dedicated Goteborg’s new
Catholic parish school, the first
building erected exclusively
as a Catholic school in the coun
try since the Reformation. It is
named for Swedish-born Queen
Astrid of Belgium, who died in
1935. It is one of only two
Catholic parochial schools in
Sweden.

money voted for education, the
government has restricted ef
fectively parents’ freedom of
choice of schools.
Parents who claim financial
support for independent schools
do not ask for this as a privi
lege or a concession. They
make their claim on the basis
of the equality of all citizens,
the pamphlet states.
"The present situation does
not afford equality of oppor
tunity for all Australian child
ren.”
The most frequent arguments
against equal treatment of all
school children are considered.
Against the charge that aid
to independent schools could
be supporting a religion, the
Bishop states that relief is
asked only for the schooling
of children. Comparison is
made with social services,
army chaplaincies, and grants
to homes for the aged.
To those who argue that fi
nancial recognition of all
schools would promote religi
ous tension, the pamphlet ans
wers that the present system
fosters a latent resentment
among those claiming equality.
Considering the charge that
independent schools are a divi
sive element in the communi
ty, the pamphlet says, "Our
democratic community thrives
on diversity and would languish
by reason of an overdone uni
formity.”
Waste of educational facili
ties has been avoided in such
countries as England and Scot

Knowledge Of
Theology Vital
For Laity
PITTSBURGH, (NC) - Col
lege graduates with only a grade
school knowledge of their Cath
olicism are of little use to the
Church in her mission, a priest-
theologian said at the National
Newman Club Federation con
vention here.
The Church needs men and
women who are "experts in
their own particular field of
activity” and "are also well
versed in theology,” said Fa
ther Kieran Conley, O.S.B.,
professor of theology at St.
Meinrad (Ind.) Archabbey,
"If the layman is to act, he
must have vision,” said the
Benedictine theologian, "and
the vision so desperately need
ed today only theology can pro
vide.”
Father Conley defined theo
logy as "The fruit of living
one’s faith intellectually,” and
added that * 'to the best of our ab
ility and according to our op
portunities we must acquire
a knowledge of theology.”
The (Augvr£7-Sept. 2) conven
tion drew some 700 students and
300 Newman Club chaplains
from universities and colleges
in the U.S.
The convention’s keynote
speaker, Dr. Robert G. Hazo,
warned that the true concept of
democracy in the U.S. is de
teriorating because of the
failure of many people to realize
the importance of a liberal
education.
Dr. Hazo, associate director
of the Institute for Philosophi
cal Research in San Francis
co said that if liberal education
continues to be downgraded in
the U.S. there will arise "a
generation of the apathetic, the
inert, the indifferent, the gulli
ble, the half-educated.”
The biggest obstacle to the
liberal education ideal, he sta
ted, is the belief that democ
racy implies mass education
only and not selectivity in ed-
ucation.
There would be fewer traffic
accidents if more motorists be
lieved in highway signs.
dent schools, the pamphlet
states.
Another new pamphlet is
"Freedom of Choice in Educa
tion,” by Kathleen A. Woolf,
published by the Australian Ca
tholic Truth Society. This has
a detailed account of the history
of government attitudes to in
dependent schools, and statis
tics on the present school posi
tion.
The pamphlet gives a detail
ed statement of school finance
in other countries, and various
means that may be used in this
finance.
Bishop Carroll, in blessing
a new church hall at Bankstown,
asked that the subject be treated
in the light of new circumstan
ces and that the old arguments
from the past be amended. Great
growth of independent schools
was not envisioned 80 years ago
when the Australian school law
was enacted, he said.
Auxiliary Bishop Thomas
Muldoon of Sydney, at a college
dedication ceremony, said that
the growth of Catholic education
was an accomplishment of poor
men with "benevolent dis
regard” by the state. He said
refusal now to grant tax help
to all schools was an offense
against justice.

Here’s Expert’s Advice
Joining A Car Pool
This School Year?
With school bells ringing ac
ross the land, millions of moth
ers will be dusting off their
chauffers' caps as they prepare
to take, their turn in the neigh
borhood car pool.
But getting ready to assume
the responsibility of driving a
group of children to and from
school requires more than put
ting on that imaginary cap,
warns Edward R. Klamm, dir
ector of the Allstate Safety
Crusade.
Klamm, who is in charge of
accident prevention for the All
state Motor Club, urges moth
ers to take time out and brush
up on the rules of the road
and defensive driving tech
niques. To prevent becoming
involved in a needless acci
dent, a driver must possess
the highest degree of patience,
foresight, alertness, know
ledge, skill and a good attitude.
This should include reviewing
local traffic laws and regu
lations in the school area. It
will involve special attention
to the habits which mark a good
and accident-free motorist.
Finally, it will mean that she
will condition herself to the
demands of maintaining a group
of lively youngsters under con
trol while navigating a poten
tially dangerous vehicle through
a maze of traffic hazards at
times when tempers might be
short and courtesy forgotten.
To help mothers prepare for
this special assignment, Klamm
offers the following checklist
for car pool members.
1. Know your route and
drive it without the children to
become familiar with traffic
controls, pick-up stops and pos
sible danger spots.
Brunswick's Xovorian Club
Names Officers For Year
At a recent meeting of the
Xavarian Club of St. Frances
Xavier Church the election of
officers was held and the re
sults were as follows: Presi
dent, Ginger Parker; Vice
President, Vickie Nelson; Sec
retary, Christopher Roth;
Treasurer, Stephen Kane. Hovis
Madray was elected Sgt. at
Arms. The following chairmen
were elected; Cultural, Michael
Lloyd; Spiritual, Louis
Mracheck; Physical, David
Mracheck; and Social, Kay Par
ker.
Rev. Mathew Faschan, S.M.
is Spiritual Advisor and has
been instrumental in reorganiz
ing the club. Father stated that
the main purpose of the club is
to promote spiritual growth
among the youth, however, there
will be many activities planned
to enable the group to indulge in
wholesome entertainment.
The Xavarians have under
taken many work projects. Am
ong the most recent has been
the “clean up day” at Xavier
Hall at which time some of the
members headed by Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Gordon devoted a
great deal of effort in restor
ing the hall to its present state
of order and cleanliness.
During the month of August a
paper sale was conducted and
the proceeds will be used for
various activities during the
coming year.
A most enjoyable and suc
cessful "Beatnik Party” was
held at the Club on the last
Saturday evening in August. The
Hall was appropriately decora
ted in typical beatnik motif.
The highlight of the evening was
a program presented by Stephen
Kane strumming a bass fiddle
and Michael Lloyd rendering
several self-composed beatnik
poems. Prizes for the most
original costumes were award
ed to Michael Lloyd and Linda
Joines. During the course of the
evening, pictures were taken
by Rev. Paul Burkort, S.M.
pastor, and Kathryn Sloan, club
member.
Before the close of the pro
gram, Father Faschan pre
sented John Lloyd with a purse
on behalf of the Xavarians, and
extended his blessings and con
gratulations to John on his en
trance into the Marist Semin
ary in Bettendorf, Iowa.
Chaperons for the evening
were: Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Kick, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes,
Mr. and Mrs. J. Armand Lloyd
and Mickey Lenz, Counselor.

2. Use the practice trips to
time the route. Include stops
for children. Allow extra time
for bad weather or other emer
gency.
3. Explain to children the
first day that cert^ih rules
MUST be obeyed while in the
car. These rules include the
following: Everyone must be
seated while the car is moving.
All hands, heads and possess
ions must be kept inside the
car windows. No one may touch
or bother the driver.
4. Keep all doors locked
while car is moving and make
children know they must not
touch door handles until car is
stopped.
5. No children should be
allowed to have lollipops, can
dy or ice cream on sticks while
in the car. A sudden bump
or swerve can turn a treat into
a threat to a child’s eye and
mouth.
6. No roughhousing or wild
antics should be allowed while
in the car. Loud shouting or
sudden movements will distract
the driver.
7. Keep the automobile in
good mechanical condition to
prevent failure of brakes or
other part while in traffic.
Check gas gauge befcfrfe start
ing each trip.
8. Take special care when
driving in rain or snow. Be
alert for other children walk
ing in school zones.
9. Obey all traffic signs
at all times. Reduce speed when
approaching children or other
cars discharging children.
10. Have seat belts instal
led in both front and back seats
and require children to use
them. A space age game can
be developed with children pre
tending they are passengers in
a spaceship. The seat belts then
become a vital part of the
game and objections disappear.
Klamm has one more sugges
tion for mothers who will be
driving children to school —
Keep a sense of humor. The
stories that will be told com
ing home after classes should
be strong competition for the
tales father brings home from
the office.
Bible Reading Retained
BOSTON, (NC) - Massachu
setts school authorities have
been advised to continue Bible
readings in public classrooms
as required by state law.
The advisory came from
Owen B. Kiernan, state Com
missioner of Education. In a
memorandum to school autho
rities he said:
"Until such time as the Su
preme Court makes a final
determination of the issue, it
is our advice that the present
practice of Bible reading in
public schools required by the
general laws of Massachusetts
be continued.”
Korean Growth
KWANGJU, Korea, (NC) -
Archbishop Harold Henry,
S.S.C., of Kwangju reports that
during the past year Catholics
in the new archdiocese increa
sed from 60,953 to 61,961. The
Minnesota - born Archbishop
says there were 4,946 Bap
tisms—1,952 of them adults.
DEMANDS UPON BISHOPS
HELD TO REFLECT NEEDS
OF MEN IN ALL TIMES
HELENA, Mont., (NC) - An
cient questions asked of its
elected bishops by the Church
as they are consecrated are as
meaningful today as ever. This
was declared at the rite at
which Bishop Raymond G. Hun-
thausen was made sixth head of
the Helena diocese.
Archbishop Edward D. How
ard of Portland in Oregon re
viewed the ceremonial examin
ation in his sermon at the con
secration.
"There is no mistake as to
the bishop’s first function. He
is to teach,” Archbishop How
ard said:
"The Church knows how to
distinguish between novelty and
newness. Her teaching is un
changing, yet it is ever new.
While she adapts herself to
the needs of every age,in her
basic thinking she cannot
change.”.. ,,,
The pledge to be faithful to
the pope will always be perti
nent, the Archbishop said, in
reciting names of some who
had broken with Rome, from
Photius down to the illicitly
consecrated bishops of today
Record
Enrollment
At St. Pius X
SAVANNAH - According to a
report from Fr. Timothy
Dwyer, S.M.A., Moderator for
St. Pius X High School, a re
cord number of students are
attending the local school. In
contrast to 140 students of the
1960-61 school year this year
has the largest registration
ever at 165 pupils.
Unique also this year is the
fact that St. Pius X now has
two ninth grades comprised of
66 students.
St. Pius X, founded in 1953,
is staffed by the Missionary
Sisters of the Immaculate Con
ception who also have schools
in Augusta and Savannah Beach.
Three local grammar schools
belonging to St. Benedict’s, St.
Anthony’s and St. Mary's Pa
rishes are also staffed by the
Sister.
Of the 32 graduates in the
Class of 1961, sixteen students
received scholarships, many
students receiving grants to
more than one college.
Principal of St. Pius X High
School is Sr. Mary Donat, O.S.F.
New Jesuit
Provinces in Spain
MADRID, Spain, (NC) -
Father John B. Janssens, S. J.,
Jesuit Superior General, has
set up two new Spanish provin
ces of the Society of Jesus,
Loyola and Aragon. There are
now seven Jesuit provinces in
this country.
in "poor, unhappy China.”
Turning next to the demand
that bishops seek perfection
in their moral life, the speaker
said this is important because
the Church knows that bishops
must be "the inspiration to
holiness for their entire
Church.”
Referring to the seemingly
"outmoded” requirement that
bishops not engage in secular
work, Archbishop Howard ex
plained:
"A bishop today is head of
a large corporation. 1 .questions
of money lie heavily on his
mind. The bishop must view
material concern not as an
obstacle to sanctification but
rather as a means of achieving
it.”
The ritual emphasis on hu
mility and patience in the new
bishop indicates that these are
virtues that a bishop must prac
tice at all times, the Archbishop
declared.
"Humility is sometimes
thought to be the virtue of the
lowly. Actually it is the virtue
of the great,” he asserted.
"Those who are in high
positions must ever see their
hopes shattered, their failings
magnified, their aims misun
derstood.”
He said further: "Patience
might almost be termed the
bishop’s salvation. In his post
of command he sees so many
things that need doing. Yet he
sees with equal clarity the li
mitations. . .”
The final question, covering
kindness and mercy to those in
need, said Archbishop Howard,
refers to the bishop’s entire
flock because each of them, he
said, has needs of one kind or
another.
The consecration was held
in St. Helena cathedral. Arch
bishop Egidio Vagnozzi, Apos
tolic Delegate to the United
States, was consecrator. Co-
consecrators were Bishops
Bernard J. Topel of Spokane,
Wash, and William J. Condon
of Great Falls, Mont.
