ONE AFTERNOON, Juan Quispe, a 25-year-old cate chist—one of 2,000 Indian volunteers trained bytheMary- knoll Fathers in Puno to help serve this priestless mountain region—visited Taguile Island. Right away he noticed that there was something wrong with Gregoria’s eyesight. She did not step out confidently as other children. He watched as she probed the ground with her feet before taking a step. Also, a bluish film covering her dark brown eyes told Quispe that all was not normal.

There he dis cussed Gregoria's plight with Father Robert F. Kearns, M.M., of New York, pastor of San Juan’s parish in Puno. Father Kearns arranged for Gregorla to go to Lima for a medical examination. Maryknollers at their parish of Santa Rose in Lima swung into action. They found a doctor who was willing to make cornea transplants for Gregoria with out charge. GREGORIA and her parents were provided with new clothing and the bus fare to Lima. Since they only spoke Quechua, Quispe went along as interpreter. The move from their primitive is land which has no electricity, television or any other modern convenience to cosmopolitan Lima was like taking them out of the days of Columbus and putting them into the year 1962. Lima was a strange and omi nous place to these Andean In dians. They agreed to leave their daughter in the hospital only if a Maryknoll Sister promised to take the mother’s place in Lima. A Sister agreed, and the family returned to their mountain. A WEEK later a call from the hospital reported that a cor nea was available for Gregoria. The child came through the operation successfully and after two weeks, tests indicated that vision in the left eye was im proved. Gregoria is now back at her Island home again playing with her four brothers and sisters, thanks to a Maryknoll-trained catechist.

AN ALTAR BOY NAMED "SPECK" “... sixty two, sixty three, sixty four....” LIKE TV Missionary Work An ‘Open End’ LOVELAND, Ohio (NC)--The Church’s missionary work was compared to an "open-end" television program by a priest educator here. Father Walter J. Ong, S. J., author and professor of English at St. Louis University, said "the communication of religion has become less locked into place than it used to be." He addressed students and guests at the Grail Apostolic move ment for young women. "THERE’S a real dialogue approach to religion today," the Jesuit priest stated. "To get our religion across to our neighbor, we have to be able to talk about it off-the-cuff, even publicly—this is what the peo ple want.” And this is the kind of dia logue the television medium demands, he said. Like the "open end" type of television program, which has a definite starting point but takes an un rehearsed course, "our re ligious communication today is largely in terms of live con frontations." FATHER Ong called the ecu menical council "a wonderful example of what has happened in regard to communications in the Church.” "There never was a council so open as this one," he said, citing the presence of Protes tant observers, the welcome given to reporters, and the is suance of regular communiques to the press. RACIAL PROBLEM Bigots Guilty of Moral, "And this is the kind of pre sence which the Church must have today, and which she does have," he said. "It Is the kind of presence w e are all called on to exercise. We live in an age where everything has to be live ft FATHER Edward D. O'Connor, C. S.C., president of the Mario- logical Society of America, re ceived his society’s annual award for outstanding studies in the field of Marian theology at the 14th annual convention in Boston.

THROUGH NCWC Clothing Donates NEW YORK, (NC)— The Bond Clothing Company, Rochester, N.Y., has given 1,000 pairs of trousers, 100 top coats and 100 overcoats to Catholic Relief Services— National Catholic Welfare Conference for distri bution to needy Cuban refugees. The clothing will be distri buted to needy Cubans by the Miami Cuban refugee reception center of CRS—NCWC, the U.S. Catholic overseas relief ag ency. THE CLOTHING donation was made in appreciation for CRS— NCWC’s assistance in locating 20 tailors and seamstresses among Cuban refugees to work in the clothing company’s Ro chester plant.

Swanstrom of New York, exe cutive director of CRS—NCWC, praised the Bond Company’s gift of clothing as a "generous gesture of good will." "Because most Cuban refu gees arrive without sufficient clothing and because so many of them will be relocated in cities and towns far from the warm Miami climate, the cloth ing will fill a great need." DETROIT, (NC) —Racial bi gots are guilty of both moral and Intellectual dishonesty, re presentatives of Detroit’s re ligious community have charg ed. The accusation was the of ten-expressed theme of the first Metropolitan Conference on Open Occupancy (Jan. 2 and 3). THE CONFERENCE was jointly sponsored by the Met ropolitan Detroit Council of Churches, the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Jewish Com munity Council in cooperation with the Detroit Commission on Community Relations. Official spokesman for the Detroit archdiocese was Msgr. Hubert A. Maino, former editor of the Michigan Catholic, ar- chidocesan newspaper, and now pastor of St. Lucy’s parish in suburban St. Clair Shores. Msgr. Maino described the race problem as "primarily a moral one, and therefore, a re ligious problem." “CHRIST identifies Himself with the homeless and the disin herited and when we refuse housing or any other necessity of life to a fellow human being, we deny it to the Lord Him self," he said. Science studying the races of men, he said, dismisses the idea of racial inferiority as "scientific nonsense." He added that differences in cultural standards between many Negro and whites are ex plained by the "facts of his tory" and the Negro’s "inabi lity to enjoy equal opportunity in education and in employ ment." Speaking for Detroit’s Jewish community, Senior Rabbi Ric hard C. Hertz of Temple Beth El said forced segregation "threatens to destroy us as free people." MAERICANS have listened too long only to the voices of fear and bigotry, he commented, and if "men of good will speak Board Names Miss Sutherland Jeanne Sutherland, St. Jos eph student, has been elected from the Junior English classes to be the Teen Board Repre sentative from her school to EXTENSION magazine this year. Every year, EXTENSION magazine holds a Teen Board contest asking for representa tives from all Catholic high schools. From the represent- tatives the editors select four students to be guest editors for the forthcoming issues. Of the four Guest Editors, one will be awarded the grand prize. This includes a $500 scholarship to a Catholic Col lege and a free trip to Chi cago. out they will find each other in every neighborhood." Dr. Allan A. Zaun, president of the Metropolita n Detroit Council of Churches, voiced the Protestant position. He hit at prejudiced whites who judge the Negro race on the behavior of the worst ele ments of the Negro community. "There are just as many careless, shiftless and irres ponsible people among whites* as there are among the Ne groes," he asserted. "Shp’l the entire white race be judg a by the undesirable behavior of its worst representatives? No Indeed. Then why do we so judge the Negro?" SPEAKING for the Negro community, the Rev. Charles W. Butler, a Baptist pastor, said that although Negro eman cipation was granted a century ago, some of the major ele ments of slavery are still prac ticed today. He cited a "formidable, four-deep barrier to Negro housing" in the combination of the builder, owner, broker, and banker. "The excessive energy the Negro must expend against this opposition in obtaining a home often leaves him too exhausted' to maintain it," Rev. Butler said. ST. LOUIS (NC)~ Plenty of news was available at the ecu menical council’s first session for reporters who were willing to dig for it, the Columbia Broadcasting System’s Rome correspondent Winston Burdett. "It just took some digging to get it. "ONE OF the amazing things is the numbers of people who were available who were will ing to discuss the issues at great length," Burdett said. He commented on news coverage of the Second Vatican Council in a talk to the St. Louis Advertising Club. He and other CBS correspondents were here to confer with CBS officials. Burdett, who identified him self as a non-Catholic, took note Priests Host In Pasadena PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 5 (NC)—Mater Dolorosa Retreat House again played host to a football team before the Rose Bowl game. The University of Wisconsin team spent 44 hours there. It was the third time that the establishment operated by Passlonist Fathers has put up a Rose Bowl squad. Previous visitors were Ohio State and Minnesota. Reporter of criticism of the Batican’s arrangements for news cover age of the council. While the official Vatican press releases were not detailed enough to be of great value, he said, this did not prevent reporters from getting news. "THERE were sources avail able...and the best sources of information were the delegates themselves," he said. "Itwould depend on the ingenuity of the reporter to find bishops who were willing to speak." Other valuable news sources, he stated, were the experts in various fields assigned to offer advice and information to the council Fathers. BURDETT said there was no reason for surprise that the press arrangements for the council did not compare with those for some other news mak ing events. "After all," he noted, "this was not like cover ing a Republican or Democratic national convention. This was an ecumenical council 0 f the Church, and it was not the same thing as a political event." He predicted that the council will go down In history as the "greatest event of the Church in this century." His Holiness Pope John XXIII "has opened the door for change, and that Is significant, Burdett said.
