Some of our readers have
asked for a repeat of the ad
dress for ordering “Parlia-'
mentary Points” and “Con
vention Critique and Local
Club Procedures”, booklets
written by Miss Kathryn E.
Bowers, NCCW Parliamen
tarian. These may be secured
for $125 each from Parlia
mentary Consultants, 204 E.
Capitol St., Washington, D.
C, 20003. We hope many of
our members will avail them
selves of the opportunity to
order one or both of these
invaluable booklets.

A letter from our National
President concerns Radio
Free Europe, the private, pub
licly supported American
radio network which daily links
East Europe with the free
world. Quoting from Mrs.
Shields’letter: “Wecan’t quite
comprehend the endless re
strictions and frustrations
facing the people of East
Europe every day of their
lives. Radio Free Europe
works from dawn to midnight
to try to alleviate this hop-
lessness by bringing them all
the news of the world, truth
fully. The women of East Eu
rope, hard pressed by the mul
tiple duties of job, home,
family, daily shopping, tight
budgets and few conveniences,
turn to Radio Free Europe
for help with many problems.
Millions of East Europeans
of all ages look to Radio Free
Europe for religious and cul
tural programs as well as
news, information and amuse
ment. It seeks to give them the
strength to pursue their
dreams, of personal liberty and
national independence.”
“Life Under Communism”,
one of the booklets published
by the Radio Free Europe
Fund, gives graphic accounts
of religion, youth and the fam
ily under Communism. It
states in part, “Since the end
of World War II the forces of
religion, one of the major
areas of resistance to the
spread of Communism, and
atheism have been locked in
constant struggle in East Eu
rope. For the majority of its
83 million people it also is
a constant struggle to main
tain the semblance of a family
unit and basic living standards.
From early childhood young
sters are fed political theories
and ideological nonsense. Re
acting against this training,
teen-agers in East Europe look
to the free world for new ideas.
Radio Free Europe has tradi
tionally provided a link with the
West for the families of East
Europe. The fact that someone
cares enough to become the
public advocate against the
system and the rulers makes
life a little easier to endure.
“Measurable improvements
have been made since RFE
went on the air 15 years ago.
Certain relaxations, cautious
restoration of a few freedoms -
even the erratic appearance
of more and better consumer
goods have made life under
Communism more bearable,
although still far from the life
we know in a free society.”
Radio Free Europe is our
personal, effective answer to
Communist propaganda. It de
pends on private contributions
(which incidentally are tax
deductible) and needs our sup
port to continue its work. Mrs.
Shields asks us to be gen
erous as we have in the past.
Checks may be made payable
to Radio Free Europe Fund and
sent to Mrs. John D. Shields,
NCCW, 1312 Massachusetts
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.
C. 20005. (Mrs. W.C.B.)

Seven Southeastern Dio
ceses, including Belmont Ab
bey, will participate in the
Congress, the purpose of
which is to implement the
provisions of the Vatican II,
“Constitution on the Sacred
Liturgy”. The dioceses are
attempting to accomplish this
purpose by means of a Con
gress every eighteen months
in one of the dioceses. This
program was established by
the Catholic bishops of the se
ven dioceses, including Bel
mont Abbey, jointly in 1965.
The first was held in Char
lotte, N.C. in January 1966.
The Congresses have an
ecumenical impact not only
because so many from other
churches attend, but also be
cause so many are concern
ed with the decency and pro
priety of public worhip. The
sessions are always open to
the public.
Delegates from each parish
in the dioceses of Miami, St.
Augustine, Savannah, Atlanta,
Charleston, Raleigh and Bel
mont Abbey are assigned as
representatives of their
parish.
The Congress is not a go
verning or policy-making
body. It’s sole purpose is to
learn how to better praise God
in the assembly of the Church.
The theme of this year’s
Congress is “O God, You will
Give Us Life Again”. Ser
vices and workshop sessions
will be held in the Greenville
Memorial Auditorium and the
Congress headquarters will be
in the Jack Tar Poinsett Hotel.
Over ten thousand registra
tion forms, brochures and ho
tel reservation cards have
been distributed throughout
the Atlanta Provinces.
Diocesan representatives of
the Congress are:
Right Rev. Msgr. James En
right, St. Rose of Lima Parish,
Miami Shores, Florida; Rev.
Rene Gracida, St. Anns Par
ish, Naples, Florida; Rev. Da
vid O. Shea, St. Monicas
Church, Palatka, Florida; Rt.
Rev. Msgr. John Toomey, St.
James Church, Savannah
Georgia; Rev. Clement Por-
zio, O.S.B., Belmont Abbey,
Belmont, N.C.
The general chairman on
arrengements isSamFrancis,
112 Belmont Avenue, Green
ville, S.C.
The program includes ad
dresses, workships and exhi
bits. A pre-Congress ses
sion October 12th on renova
tion of existing churches will
be lead by a panel of archi
tects and artists’ consultants.
The opening session October
12th will develop the theme of
God’s Presence in The Wor
shiping Assembly, followed by

THE HOLY FATHER’S MISSION AID TO THE ORIENTAL CHURCH
Have you ever wished your family had a nun?
You know what it means to have your children
taught by Sisters. And it's a blessing from God
to have a Sister at your bedside when you're
ill. ... Now overseas a girl who wants to be a
Sister prays you’ll understand. She's young,
mature, and much in love with God. She wants
to work with lepers, orphans, the blind.... How
can you ‘adopt’ her? For the next two years
she’ll need only $3.13 a week for room, board
and training. We'll send you her name on receipt
of your first gift. She'll write you from over
seas to thank you — and you may write to her as
often as you wish, of course. Two years from
now, a member of your family, she’ll be a full-
fledged nun! . . . Shall we send you her name
right now? Make the payments at your own con
venience ($12.50 a month, $150 a year, or $300
in one lump sum). Let’s hear from you now, any
way. She's praying you’ll help her become a
Sister. And God will know that her lifetime of
good is really in large part your family's.

NEW IDEAS
In memory of their fathers, a Long Island couple
are building in India a chapel named for their
fathers’* patrons, Sts. James and John. A plaque
at the entrance will ask prayers for the families.
. . . Also in India Archbishop Mar Gregorios is
building a church, school, rectory and convent
in a growing new village, thanks to a $10,000
family gift from Utah. The new parish will serve
all villagers, regardless of creed.
