PAGE 2—The Southern Cross, May 28,1981
A LITURGICAL DANCE expressing joy in the Resurrection of
Our Lord, was offered as a Communion meditation at two Sunday
Masses at Saint Joseph’s Church, Macon, on May 17. A Lithuanian
Folk Song, “Alleluia, He Lives Today ” was sung by the Adult Choir
setting the joyful mood for the dance. The dancers are shown: 1. to r.,
Lynne Hicks, Laurie Follmer, Kathleen O’Shaughnessey, and Lori
Arnold. They wear flowers as a symbol of spring and new life. The
ribbons at their wrists are symbolic of our souls which were freed
from the bonds of sin. The white robes are a sign that Jesus, through
His love, removed all stain from these sins, enabling us to live with
Him through all eternity. Choreographer for the dance was Jodi L.
Zielinski.

A Positive Approach To TV
— ■ —
BY HENRYHERX
NEW YORK (NC) ~ For those born
after World War II it may be difficult
to imagine a time when black athletes
were barred from participating in
national sports. Recalling the way it
was in the segregated era of baseball is
“Don’t Look Back,” the story of the
legendary Leroy “Satchel ” Paige,
airing Sunday, May 31, 9-11 p.m. on
ABC.
Paige learned to pitch in reform
school and rounded out his education
as a teen-ager by barnstorming with
various black teams until he was hired
by the newly organized Negro
Leagues. His skill on the mound made
him one of their greatest attractions
and, if Dizzy Dean may be taken as
any authority, one of the game’s
greatest pitchers.
Dean’s judgment came from an
exhibition game between teams of
Negro and Major League All-Stars in
which Paige struck out 21 batters to
beat Dean in a 2-1 pitcher’s duel. Still
refused by the Majors, Paige jumped
the Negro Leagues to play in Central
America and returned with a sore arm.
Paige was already past his prime
when Jackie Robinson became the
first black to play in the Majors.
Needing pitching strength, the
Cleveland Indians added Paige to their
roster to win the 1949 World Series,
thereby qualifying him for a place in
baseball’s Hall of Fame, to which he
was named in 1971. Integration came
too late, however, for most other stars
of the Negro Leagues, such as Josh
Gibson, “the Babe Ruth of Dixie,”
whose records will not be found in any
official history of the game.
You don’t have to be a baseball fan
to feel the terrible frustration of these
players -- as well as the loss to the sport
itself - by their being excluded from
big league competition for reasons
that had nothing to do with talent. As
the title indicates, however, the drama
does not dwell on the injustices of
segregation as much as on the players’
love of the game and their enjoyment
of the fame it brought them within the
black community.
As Paige, Louis Gossett Jr. conveys
convincingly the carefree aura of a star
athlete who also knew how to handle
defeat. Among the others in a large
and capable cast, Ossie Davis stands
out in a small but vital role as a
has-been ballplayer whose pride of
appropriations bills with only
the life-of-the-mother abortion
language. The Senate
traditionally then has adopted
more liberal restrictions, such as
in cases of rape, incest, or
long-lasting physical health
damage to the mother.
Differences always have been
hammered out in conference
committees.
past accomplishments inspires Paige
with the dream of breaking into the
Majors.
Baseball fans may feel that the
dramatization should have had more
play-by-play restaging of games, but
there are two and both are dandies.
Director Richard Colla has vividly
recreated the period and its people
without bogging down in career
statistics and dates. Joking about his
age, Paige himself is on hand to open
and close the program. In between, a
forgotten era is brought to life that has
meaning for a far larger audience than
sports fans.
“Me and Mr. Stenner,” CBS, June 2
Surviving the trauma of divorce is
hard enough for adults but, when
children are involved, it is even more
painfully difficult. Showing the kind
of problems facing an 11-year-old
when her mother divorces and
remarries is the subject of “Me and Mr.
Stenner,” airing Tuesday, June 2, 4-5
p.m. on CBS.
This offering of the monthly
“Afternoon Playhouse” series for
youngsters is told mainly through the
eyes of Abby (winningly played by
April Gilpin), who cannot accept, let
alone like, the stranger who suddenly
moves into her life in the place of her
father. However much he tries, the
step-father (David Ogden Stiers of
“MASH” in a low-key performance)
cannot make up for her sense of loss or
overcome her resentment.
The relationships of the adults have
little to do with the story, which is just
as well because poor Abby has enough
problems of her own without trying
to cope with those troubling people
old enough to know better. The
program limits itself to the
consequences rather than the causes
of divorce and puts Abby through an
emotional wringer of pain and guilt
until she realizes that she can give her
love to the step-father without
lessening what she feels for her father.
To its credit, the production treats
a troubling subject with sensitivity
and in a basic enough way for it to be
readily understood by young viewers.
Kids don’t have to watch the program
to know that families are an
endangered species of American life,
but it may reassure them that they can
survive a broken home as well as to
appreciate better the blessings of good
family life.
“We cannot tolerate the kind
of excess baggage and
encumberances that have been
placed on the appropriations
process in recent years,” argued
Hatfield in calling for
elimination of the riders.
But for the most part the
debate centered on abortion,
with each side accusing the other

affecting and funny study of a
marriage crisis of a young upwardly

Grodin and Mario Thomas) which is
saved from a too-cute and
self-conscious script by some
exceptionally good acting. Because of
its profanity and its subject matter, it
is mature fare. A-III (PG)

“The Missouri Breaks” (1976) -- A
package deal involving Marlon
Brando, Jack Nicholson and director

Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.)
decried a “growing feeling of

almost of religious moralism,” in
arguing against the abortion

question was one of the
“deliberate taking of an
innocent human life” and said
Richard Burton plays a man who can
destroy just by willing it, something
that a pyschiatrist, Lee Remick,

extremely implausible, this is a well
acted, superior thriller. Because of its

fulminations, it is mature fare. A-III

Charities Can’t Take-up Slack Of Budget Cuts
BY RICHARD TUCKER
DENVER (NC) -- The private
sector cannot take up the slack that
will be created by the Reagan
administration’s proposed cuts in “
federal spending for social welfare
programs, said James Mauck,
executive
“More and more women are
treasuring their personhood and they
will not be moved back,” she said.
Many voluntary agencies may not
even try to respond to the cuts, said
Mauck, who is also archdiocesan vicar
for community services and Catholic
Charities. Sylvia Sedillo, national
coordinating team member of Las
He rm anas, an organization of
Hispanic women in affect the elderly
and children. In children, the traumas
caused by the cutbacks will be
lifelong, he said. Victims of child
abuse will have nowhere to go for
treatment, he added.

“We will again see malnutrition and
hunger in this country,” Mauck said.
“We will again see the warehousing of
the mentally ill.”
Mauck was commenting on the
action of the House of
Representatives in approving
President REagan’s prposed budget by
a vote of 253-176. All 190
Republicans and 63 of 241 Democrats
voted to approve the budget.
Previously passed by the Senate,
the Reagan budget calls for $689
billion in spending with
across-the-board cuts in social
programs and a $30 billion increase in
military spending.
Mauck questioned the economics
of the Reagan administration, which is
seeking to control inflation by
enacting tax cuts and cutting back on
federal spending. “Inflation
traditionally has been fueled by
increased defense spending,” he said.
Federal cuts in such entitlement
programs as food stamps and Aid to
Families with Dependent Children
(AFDC) will cause people to turn to
the private sector for help, Mauck
said. “And they’ll find that we don't
have the resources.”
Unlike most Catholic charity
agencies across the country, DCCS
receives no direct federal funding, but
most DCCS contracts with state and
municipal agencies are paid for
completely with federal money.
One immediate effect of budget
cuts in Denver, Mauck said, will be the
dropping of eight people on June 1
from a city program set up under the
Comprehensive Employment and
Training act (CETA).
The U.S. Catholic Conference, an
agency of the U.S. bishops, has
estimated that CETA cutbacks will
eliminate 300,000 jobs nationwide
and that 400,000 households will be
removed from the food stamp
program
Under Reagan's “workfare”
proposals, Mauck said, 800,000
recipients of AFCD benefits - mostly
mothers with small children - will be
removed from welfare rolls unless
they take jobs to work off their
welfare payments.
Proposals to cut federal funds for
day care centers will make it harder
for those people to go to work, Mauck
said.
Savannah Diocese Places
6 Spots’ On 54 Stations
The Diocese of Savannah has placed spots on family life themes on 54 stations
throughout the diocese.
The thirty and sixty second spots deal with stress situations, alienation, and
other family problems. They also make practical suggestions about family
retreats, and talk of the importance of family outings. Many of the spots use
humor.
Local promotion and distribution costs are paid from the diocese’s share of the
Catholic Communication Campaign. National production and distribution costs
are paid for in part from the national share of the Catholic Communication
Campaign through a grant to Paulist Communications, which produced the spots.
According to Rev. Joseph L. Stranc, Diocesan Director of Communications,
the spots are designed for either general format stations or country and western
stations. Spots for young adult stations are also being produced.
More than 66 spots either have been produced or will be deveoloped by Spring.
Radio and television programming on family life was the first priority of the
Catholic Communication Campaign in determining its initial grants in 1980.
Los Angeles based Paulist Communications produces and distributes a wide
variey of spots and programs in English and Spanish. In 1980 it served piore than
2,000 radio stations in the United States, including most of the stations in the
Diocese of Savannah.
