Jottings . * . . (continued from page 4) Not until 1895 was the famous >Lourdes grotto built across the road at the famous University of Notre Dame. It was here at St. Marys that I learned devotion to Our Lady of Loreto and to Lourdes and so much else, Uab, of immeasurable spiritual value. The traditions surroufcjiing the little chapel of Loreto are deeply tender. Some students faithfully make daily visits to the chapel in rain and snow; Engagement rings from Notre Dame men to St. Mary’s girls have been exchanged there. Students come to this shrine ih’the crisis of their college days. Events ranging from examinations to serious illness in their families bring students to Lorbto's shelter. 1 have knelt in this replica of the Holy House in joy and sorrow and felt the warmth of home and heart before its altar. Loreto in truth is our an cestral home, for all Christian homes are built upon the pattern followed within its walls. I never ceased to feel at home within the replica shelter since I had lost the only material place 1 had known as home and the person who had made a home for me was now at home in the House of God. Home is a sacred word for most mortals. Perhaps it was this tender thought that the Holy Father had in mind as he made His historic pilgrimage to the Holy House to pray that the ecumenical council in a spiritual sense might bring the return home of the wanderers. Housing For Aged Major Concern As Elderly Increase QUESTION BOX- (Continued from Page 4) each decade preceded by an Our Father; and (2) pious meditation or loving thought on the mys teries of the Redemption. So long as the requesite Paters and Aves are recited in con junction with such meditation, therefore, the Rosary is not only said properly, but the or dinary indulgences listed in the Raccolta can be gained. (The meditation that must accompany the vocal prayers of the Ro sary is satisfied by loving thought on the divine plan of our redemption as revealed in the life and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.) ROSARY BEADS obviously facilitate fulfilling the Rosary devotion. What is more, Ro sary beads can be enriched with special or extraordinary in dulgences - referred to as the ABCD indulgences; i.e., the Apostolic, Brigittine, Crosier and Dominican Indulgences - which can be gained in addition to the ordinary indulgences an nexed to the Rosary devotion itself. (The Apostolic Indulgences are given by or through the Su preme Pontiff, of course, and are usually listed by each Pope at the beginning of his ponti ficate. The Crosier Indulgence is a partial indulgence of 500 days for each bead - here, then, is a case where missing beads would result in lost indulgences. Both the Brigittine and Domini** can Indulgences require consid erable explanation.) SO THAT even though the or - dinary indulgences of the Ro sary may be gained without beads of any kind, the use of blessed beads entitles one to additional extraordinary in dulgences. Consequently it is always better to use blessed beads when saying the Rosary than not to use them. Sum And Substance- continued from Page 4) has “missed the bus.” I suppose this essay to see how a constant diet of such a highcaloried mental diet would render such anti-clericals easy victims of communist over tures. And yet I should think tha t the really perceptive anti clerical would find in the mild tone of the essay a confession of defeat and an awareness that “he who eats the Pope dies.” Which means that enemies of the Church always lose out in the long run. Liturgical Day Scheduled BRIDGEPORT, Conn., (NC) - The New England Regional Committee of the National Li turgical Conference will spon sor a “Liturgical Day” on No vember 23 at Notre Dame High School here at the invitation of Bishop Walter W. Curtis of Bridgeport. j By Russell Shaw WASHINGTON - Every day in the United States more than 3,000'people pass a major land mark in their lives—their 65th birthday. By tradition the occasion marks the start of their “golden” years, a time of ful fillment and satisfaction. For many, however the golden years are tarnished by loneli ness and economic insecurity. A major problem of the over- 65 age group is finding ade quate housing at a price they can afford. The story of one 76-year- old man is typical; “I get $87 a month from Social Security. I have to pay $40 a month, almost half of my income, for one room with a bath and toilet in the hall used by 18 other people. Some of the rooms are not very clean, but we old people have to live in them just the same, because that is all we can get for the money. “I have stopped smoking, going to shows. All these things I can do without, but I need decent housing in a very bad way.” There is little reason to think that the problem of housing for the aged is going to solve it self. Today in the U.S. more people are living longer than ever in history. During the 1950’s total population grew 18.5 per cent, but the elderly group by 34.7 per cent. It has been estimated that by 1980 there will be at least 30 million people in the U.S. in the 62 : and over age group, compared with some 21 million today. As a group, the nation’s aged are in the low or moder ate income categories: about half of the elderly families receive less than $3,000 a year; half of the elderly single per sons in the U.S. have less than $1,050 yearly. As the ranks of the aged grow, the involvement of the Catholic Church in efforts on their behalf grows, too. The 1962 Catholic Directory lists the number of U.S. Catholic homes for the aged at 355, with 33,738 guests. Ten years ago there were 275 such homes with 23,775 guests. Parish pro grams and special services for the aged are also on the rise. The Federal government en tered the picture in a big way with the Housing Act of 1959. Section 202 of that legislation authorizes direct loans for con struction of rental housing and related facilities for elderly persons. The long-term (up to 50 years) low-interest (3.5 per cent at present) loans are avail able to private nonprofit cor porations, consumer coopera tives and certain public agen cies. In February of this year, an executive order was issued es tablishing a national Advisory Committee on Housing for Sen ior Citizens, to advise the ad ministrator of HHFA on ques tions relating to housing for the ATLANTA C&S REALTY COMPANY “Specialists in Commercial and Industrial Real Estate” Suite 200 Henry Grady Bldg.

This group met for the first time in Washington October 15 and 16 to confer with top HHFA officials, including Robert C. Weaver, administrator of the agency, and some of his top aides. Msgr. Wilbur F. Suedkamp, secretary for Catholic Char ities in the Detroit archdio cese and a member of the com mittee, had high praise after the meeting for the spirit that animated the Federal officials in assembling this group of advisors. Many aspects of the overall topic were treated by three work groups during the ses sions. Certain major themes emerged, however. Among them were: --The advisability of inte grating elderly persons with younger persons, wherever possible, and avoiding segre gation based on age. - The value of setting up multi-functional centers in con junction with housing projects, to provide counseling on the use of community medical and financial resources as well as recreational facilities. --The benefits of keeping aged persons in their own homes as long as possible rather than committing them to custodial care in institutions sooner than necessary. --The need for state surveys to provide a statewide picture of the housing for the elderly situation. - -The advisability of pro viding Federal funds to uni versities for both long-term and crash programs to train personnel to manage housing projects for the aged. —The need for more study of the special architectural de mands of housing for the el derly. The committee also gave par ticular attention to the prob lems of the “low, low income” group, many of whose mem bers still remain untouched by most existing programs for housing for the aged. "Council Fathers” Defined VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC) - The term “council Fathers” appearing in dispatches about the ecumenical council is de fined in council regulations as “the bishops and others called to the council.” This group includes all car dinals, patriarchs, archbi shops, residential bishops (even though they have not yet been consecrated), heads of indepen dent abbeys and prelatures, ab bots primate, abbots who are superiors of monastic congre gations and superior s general of exempt congregations of Re ligious. Also included in the bull convoking the council are auxi liary bishops. Proxies for bishops and others are not council Fathers. They have no vote, although they must sign the decrees of the council. The experts of the council are not council Fathers. These are the theologians, canon lawyers and specialists in other fields covered by the council's prepa ratory commissions, such as those on the liturgy, Christian unity and communications media. They attend all general council meetings but may not speak or be questioned. They help members of the council commissions to compile and correct texts and prepare re ports. • FREe PARKING • TV A AIR CONDITIONIN3 • FAMOUS MIAMI BUFFET • ICE A BEVERAGE STATIONS • COFFEE MAKER, BACH ROOM LUCKIE AT CONE ST.

O’Neill (Radio, N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) VATICAN CITY, - His Holi ness Pope John XXIII has urged the world press to stress the religious nature of the ecumen ical council. At a special audience grated to more than 800 newsmen ac credited to the council press office, Pope John showed him self thankful for the great in terest of the press in the coun cil, aware of the great respon sibilities of the press and hope ful that it will report council events with care and accuracy. It was a smiling, almost joy ous Pontiff who entered the floodlit Sistine chapel for an 11 a.m. audience (Oct. 13). As he walked to the temporary throne set up beneath Michel angelo’s colossal masterpiece, the painting of “The Last Sup per,” 807 journalists from all parts of the world gave him a loud ovation of applause and cheers. Because the first business session of the ecumenical coun cil had adjourned less than an hour after it opened, the jour nalists present were somewhat disheveled from trying to enter the Vatican’s Bronze Doors at the same time as more than 2,000 bishops were trying to leave.

The long sessions of the council’s opening ceremonies and the official audiences he has granted apparently have not phased the 80-year-old Pon tiff.

Episcopal Churches Ring Bells For Council PHILADELPHIA, (NC) - There was an ecumenical note in the ringing of church bells here on the day that the Second Vatican Council opened in Rome.
