I 1/ Pope John Lauded As “Best Non-Catholics Ever Had” MONTREAL, Que., (NC)~ Pope John XXIII was extolled as “the best Pope non-Roman Ca tholics ever had’’ at a memor ial service in the Anglican Christ Church cathedral here. The first such service for a pope in the 200-year history of the church was held on the day (June 7) of Pope John’s fun eral. The church flag flew at half mast and the cathedral chimes began tolling shortly before noon. Very Rev. W. C. Bothwell, recently inducted Dean, con ducted the service, assisted by Rev. Paul Busing of St. John the Evangelist Church and Rev. Robert Brown, priest vicar at the cathedral. The Gospel of the service was taken from John 6:35 beginning with, “He was a burning and a shining light; and ye were will ing for a season to rejoice in his light. . .” In a short address, Dean Bothwell said Pope John “was the best Pope that non-Roman Catholics ever had. He was really the only one—the only one since the division of the Church —who expressed sentiments of solidarity with those of us who have also been made members of the Body of Christ through Baptism. ' 'In giving to the world at large a sense of unity which neither scientists nor diplomats have been able to achieve, His Holiness proved in his short pontificate the power of a humble servant of Jesus Christ to break down the walls of par tition between those whom Our Lord came to redeem,” the Dean said. Tanganyika’s Regrets DAR ES SALAAM, Tanganyi ka, (NC)—President Julius Ny- erere has sent a message in the name of his people and his gov ernment expressing “grief at the death of Pope John.” “It is tragic that. . .the world should be deprived of his sage direction,” he said.

Q. Regarding the brown scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel: (1) Is it all right if the scapular has ornaments on it? And (2) May the scapular medal be worn instead of the scapular itself? A. The brown scapular must be made of wool, and should be oblong or square in shape. Ornamentation is permitted ^provided that the cloth is not thereby almost entirely cover ed over. TV SERVICE ^ Glynn Electronics 2423 NORWICH Alyl 5-7669 THE SCAPULAR MEDAL may be worn as a substitute for the cloth scapular, and enjoys all the indulgences save the 500 days indulgence annexed to kissing the cloth scapular with reverence. THE SOURCES for these statements is Your Brown Scap ular, written in 1950 by Most Rev. E. K. Lynch, O. Carm., for the seventh centenary of the Brown Scapular. He also writes: “The charac teristic of the brown scapular is that it is the habit of our Blessed Mother in a miniature form. When its place is taken by a medal much of the rich sym bolism is lost. . .When the sub stitution is made, we highly recommend that the cloth scapular be worn at least at night. An appropriate time to kiss our scapular and gain the indulgence would be when we are putting it on or taking it off.”i BRUNSWICK BANK AND STORE FIXTURES PREFINISHED KITCHEN CABINETS cf 0 A 600-T/&HCVI f/fcxee/ P.

Old Stove Will Signal Election Of A Pope For Third Time At Conclave By Msgr. James I. Tucek (Radio, N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) VATICAN CITY—A leading role in the election of a new pope will be taken once more by an old castiron stove. The stove, an old-fashioned woodburner, is again back in its place in a corner of the Sistine chapel where it announ ced the news of the success ful and unsuccessful ballots in the conclaves of 1939 and 1958. Its past performances are recorded now over a new coat of glistening aluminum paint. Across its face is writ ten: “Conclave, 1939” and “Conclave, 1958.” A 52-foot pipe runs from the stove to an opening near the ceiling of the chapel. On the outside of the chapel, the stove pipe rises another 58 feet so that its smoke may be seen from St. Peter’s square. During the conclave the stove will be used twice a day until a new pope is elected. After the morning ballot or ballots— the laws of the conclave per mit two ballots of a single ses sion to be disposed of at a sin gle burning—and after the af ternoon voting the ballots will be cast into it and burned. If a vote fails to make a choice by the necessary two- thirds majority, the ballots are burned with damp straw so as to make the smoke coming out of the chimney black. When a ballot has been successful, the ballots are burned without straw, thus creating a white smoke and announcing to the waiting crowd in St. Peter’s square that a new pope has been elected. Archbishop Enrico Dante, Prefect of Papal Masters of Ceremonies, has denied a re port saying that the conclave smoke signals will be replaced with a system of electric lights. The report may have been due to a misinterpretation of certain precautionary measures which have been added to keep Vati can Radio and the Vatican press office from being confused in interpreting the smoke signals. During the 1939 conclave, the stove had a short performance, with only two ballots to burn before the election of Pius XII. Possibly 11 ballots—figuring two per burning until the final ballot—went into it before the election of John XXIII. "Old Smokey,” as watching newsmen dubbed it during the 1958 conclave, kept a watching world guessing with its capri cious puffs of smoke, beginning white, then turning gray and then black. Some said the cardinal in charge of burning ballots got mixed up in the stacks of ma terial he fed into the stove. Others explained that, with a 100 feet of stove pipe to travel through, one could not be sure what the color of the smoke would be when it got to the top. It is a matter of fact, however, that Vatican Radio and a leading news service were so confused by the stove’s antics that both issued premature reports that a pope had been elected. This time the conclavists are prepared. The stove will smoke as always, but a button has been installed inside the Sistine chapel so that when the smoke coming out of the stovepipe is meant to be white, someone will push the button and signal Vatican Radio that it can go ahead with the news that a pontiff has been chosen. In 1958 the calumny was cir culated that “Old Smokey” had been retired in favor of a new, more trustworthy model. Later information proved it was the same old stove with a new coat of paint. This has been borne out by the inscription painted on it recording its past per formances. Earlier reports also indicat ed tl\at Pope John’s changes in the rules governing a conclave meant that ballots would no longer be burned. These were evidently based on a misinter pretation of a provision stat ing that historical documents connected with a conclave would be preserved, and that the bal lots themselves rather than a record of them would be sav ed. Pope John’s document “Sum- mi Pontificis Electio” (The Election of a Supreme Pontiff) stated: “We direct that at the con clusion of the conclave the car dinal chamberlain prepare an account, to be approved by the senior members of the three or ders of cardinals, in which will be recorded the results of the ballots taken at each particular session. This account is to be preserved in the archives clos ed in a sealed envelope and may not be opened by anyone without the explicit permission of the Supreme Pontiff.” UNSEEING SERVANT OF GOD Edward Cannon (left) keeps a watchful eye on Peter D’Av- anzo, a blind 10-year-old altar boy from St. Margaret’s School, Little Ferry, N. J., during training for the first Mass served by the youngster. Blind since birth, Peter has mem orized not only the parts of the Masses and the responses, but also the steps between various positions he must take on the altar. The entire student body turned out to see Peter serve his first Mass.

PA 2-6972 To Keep Catholic Students Out POAU Steps Into Shared Time Plan CHICAGO, (NC)—The head of Chicago archdiocesan schools said here that if Catho lic school students are receiv ed part-time in public schools they will be subject “unequivo cally” to public school regula tion. “We are not looking for any kind of jurisdictional argument with the public schools,” Msgr. William E. McManus said. “While our students were in the public schools, they would be public school pupils.” He said no concessions would be expected as to the textbooks used in public school classes that Catholic school pupils at tended. * ‘That would be unthink able,” he commented. As to taking part in public school extra-curricular acti vities, the “shared-time” stu dents from Catholic schools would do so "only if they were invited,” he said. Msgr. McManus was com menting on obejctions to the. shared-time plan raised re cently by Edward E. Keener at a dinner of the Midwest Advi sory Committee of Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State (POAU). Keener is president of the Citizens Schools Commit tee in Chicago. His address was scheduled by POAU because Msgr. McManus has said he would soon ask Chicago public school officials that shared-time education be tried experimentally in one ants controlled ^ Chicago neighborhood, where the new Kinzie High is under construction and where land is owned nearby for a new Catho lic high school. The idea “is being research ed” by his office, which is still “hopeful something can be worked out,” Msgr. McManus stated. Keener declared that all youths have a right to attend public schools, and that those whose parents send them there “have a right to a full day not interrupted by others who wish to attend part-time.” Msgr. McManus has propos ed that the public school accept for half the day, instead of the whole day, students who would be eligible to attend fulltime. Protest Birth Control PALLURUTHY, India, (NC)— Catholic members of a Family Planning Committee here or ganized by the Kerala State government have resigned in protest over the government’s policy of promoting family plan ning through artificial birth control methods and steriliza tion operations.

A Good Address in Atlanta OUR MAIL ISN’T ORDINARY LETTERS coming 1 into our office from the many priests, Sisr ters and Brothers in the Near and Middle East are absorbing. down-to-reality accounts of life in the missionary world. For instance, Father Kavalakat writes from his dio cese of ERNAKULAM in India about a new parish . . .“In one of the dis- C* tant villages, KARAYAMPARAMP. three years ago we began a separate parish. A bamboo shed is being used for Mass . . . The foundation for a church dedicated to Mary, Help of Christians, is finished. A two-room house for the priest is being con structed . . . The people are very poor. The mother church, due to many schools and other institutions, is plunged in debt . . . Also this is the area of the main trouble caused by the Communist Gov ernment of Kerala in 1959 (when seven Catholics were shot dead close to the church), and we suffered great financial loss. .If we had $4,000, we could change the bamboo shed into a small but strongly built church”. . . The Bishop’s warm rec ommendation accompanies tho letter. The Communist Govern ment no longer rules in Kerala but the Church goes on. Will you help these brave people build their modest Chinch? The Holy Father’s Mission Aid for the Oriental Chunh THE MISSIONARY VISION ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA bids us look down in imagina tion from the height of Heaven on the world of people—some black, some white, some at peace, some at war, some weeping, some laughing—and to see them as the Trinity sees them . . . Then he asks us to turn in imagination to the scene of Mary awaiting her Child who will come to save all these people. In this way we receive the missionary spirit which comes from vision ... Our work in 18-Near and Middle East Countries covers the missionary activities of 15,000 priests, also Sisters and Brothers. We are their servants, always seeking the finan cial means to aid them . . . Won’t you help? Here are some sug gestions: □ 1. Educate a seminarian or sister-to-be. We have many names such as those of THOMAS PANICKER and NINAN THARAKAN of POONA, INDIA, and SISTER SILVIA and SISTER LEO of the CARMELITE SIS TERS, also in INDIA. It costs $100 a year for six years for a seminarian and $150 for two years for the Sister- to-be. Will you adopt one of them. □ 2. Send us a STRNGLESS GIFT to use where necessary. □ 3. Make a MEMORIAL GIFT of a chapel or school. Cost: $2,000. □ 4. Send us MASS STIPENDS. Often the missionary’s daily support! □ 5. Give $10 for a PALESTINE REFUGEE FOOD PACK AGE. □ 6. BUY a $2 BLANKET for a BEDOUIN. □ 7. ENROLL IN OUR SOCIETY: $1 a year for a single person; $5 for a family. Permanent membership: single person $20; family $100. Join one of our DOLLAR-A-MONTH clubs to educate priests, Sisters, look after orphans, old folks, supply chapels. □ 8. SHORT AND SWEET “Dear Father: This is our candy money and baby sitting money. Use it for the poor.” (Signed Mary Ann 11, Tom 10, Elizabeth 8, Larry 2. Saginaw, Mich.) ... We often wish our mission priests, Sisters and Brothers were in our office to read such letters. If they should ever feel discouraged these letters would be a tonic tor them as they are for us . . . Why not sit down and write us, remembering these courageous workers for Christ with your prayers and material help! iMlIlcar £ast Qlissionsjj*) FRANCIS CARDINAL SPELLMAN, President Msgr. Jasaph T.
