FALLS E11MQL1 FAMILIES Asian Orphans Seek U.S. Catholic Homes Wo often hear of children who are representative of hundreds of home lass orphans now exist ing in orphsngos throughout the Far Him. The tremendous needs of these children, each of whom demands "hi* shart" of time and attention, are of constant concern to the self less, dedicated men and wo men who staff the overcrowd ed orphanges. These substit ute parents sprinkle their love and affection among many rath er than concentrate on just a few of the children. Like children everywhere, each clamors with insatiable appetite for more and more personal attention as proof that he's really loved and wanted. It's all too obvious to these staff members that a child's gnawing hunger for "someone who cares" will only be filled Leroy's Auto Service Tune Up - Front End Alignment Automatic Transmission 4011 P'tree Rd.

Box 11667 Northaide Station Atlanta 5, Georgia Name Address City State- Zoning Ruling May Void Laws Barring Building Kansas Bishop Sick, Resigns His Post HACKENSACK, N.J. -(NC)— Municipal zoning laws govern ing the establishment of schools are invalid in New Jersey. That is the interpretation being put on a decision rend ered in Superior Court here (Feb. 11) in a suit brought by the Archdiocese of Newark against Hohokus borough. JUDGE Charles W. Broad- hurst ruled specifically that a Hohokus ordinance barring the construction of any school, public or private, in an R-l residential zone violates state law. The judge ruled that "the purported ordinance stating that all schools are prohibited in the R-l zone cannot control the establishment of a public school. It therefore applies only as to private schools" and thus violates state statutes. Frederick J. Gas sen, coun sel for the archdiocese, argu ed in coun that public sohool districts were government en titles not bound by municipal zoning ordinances in choosing school sites, In a 12-point brief he had contended that a 1961 state law prohibiting zoning dis crimination between public and private schools was therefore applicable. The coun upheld that view. THE ARCHDIOCESE also at tacked the ordinance because It was adopted after the arch diocese had purchased property In Hohokus and make known lte plan to build a regional high school for 1,500 boys. At the time of purchase the area was not zoned against school uss, and Hohokus attsmptsd to short- cireuit any suit based on tha argumant of discrimination by passing an all-lncluslva ordi nance. Judge Broadhurst said that under the statutes governing the establishment of boards of education, the municipal gov erning body cannot determine the placement of schools with in tha community and cannot, therefore, restrict the place ment of private schools either. Hohokus officials have not Indicated whether they will ap peal to the State Supreme Court, nor has the archdiocese indicat ed whether it will follow through on Its plans to build a regional ■chool. The school waa to be one of nine constructed with funda from a $30 million building fund drive. However, when the Archdiocese's plans to utilize the 20-acre tract were tempo rarily thwarted It established St. Joseph's boys* school in nearby Montvale. THAT school accepted Its first class in September. Stu dents are using classrooms In a nearby parochial elementary school while conatruction is in progress. This was the fourth zoning case taken to the courts in the Newark archdiocese in the last five years. In one the arch diocese successfully Intervened CATHOLIC WOMEN in a case upsetting a zoning law barring private schools in Saddle River, another resident ial community in Bergen Coun ty. The two cases involved schools in Montclair, a subur ban Essex County community. In one, Lacordaire School, a private school for girls, suc cessfully defended a suit brought by Montclair taxpay ers to upset a zoning variance given the school for expansion purposes. The variance itself had been granted despite the opposition of the town planning board, which eventually impos ed restrictions not imposed on nearby public schools. The Ho hokus decision brings those re strictions under question. In the final suit, St. Cassien's School, Montclair, upset restrictions placed on its enrollment on the basis of playground space avail able per pupil. That suit was based on the 1961 law banning discrimination between public and private schools. The Sup erior Court upheld the law as constitutional last year. Mont clair officials have announced an appeal. OPINION is divided on whet her the latest decision by Jud ge Broadhurst is applicable to colleges and universities. Seton Hall University, which has its main campus in Essex County, has been barred from establi shing a branch in Bergen Coun ty by an ordinance adopted in Saddle Brook after Seton Hall inaugurated negotiations to buy land there. Seton Hall has been attempting to settle the issue without resort to the courts.

(1 have learned by some careful questioning that the pastors are the only onee who can help.) The help 1 am seeking con cerns participation in Mass. In many lands where there is a shortage of priests, Catholics grow up thinking that Sunday Mail if not really required. When you live in a place where Mas* Is not always offered on Sunday, you get careless about such things. Here in the United States, we have e shortage of priests, too. But it is not so severe that Ca tholics do not understand their obligation to attend Maes. Bet ter still, American Catholics understand that attending Mass la a privilege. They value that privilege. They want to do more than attend Mass; they want to take part, just as the early Christians did. At least, most of us do. This is a plea to pastors everywhere - on behalf of those of us who would like to participate in the Mass. The principal difficulty South DeaneryNCCW Formed In Hapeville An organizational meeting of the South Deanery Council of the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women was held re cently at St. John the Evange list Sohool in Hapeville, with Very Rev. Father John O'Shea, Dean of the South Deanery, as the host. Honored guests in attendance were Father Michael Manning, Archdiocesan Moderator, and Mrs. George J. Gunning, Arch diocesan President. MRS. JOHN H. Kesler, La- Grange, Vice-President of AC- CW and President of the South Deanery, presided and the fol lowing appointments were made: Mrs. Calene Thomas, CXir Lady of Lourdes, Vice- President; Mrs. Rose Schra- denbach, St. John the Evange list, Recording Secretary; and Miss Rosalie Joseph, St. Pe ter's, LaGrange, Treasurer. The council adopted a con stitution and by-laws and plans were made for the first Open Deanery Meeting, which will be held at Sts. Peter and Paul in Decatur, on March 31. WE DO DIG! PEABODY, Mass. -(NC)— Back to the printer for cor rection went 2,000 copies of a new novena booklet delivered to the Carmelite chapel located in a shopping center here. The chapel has a daily novena to St. Therese, "the Little Flow er." The new booklets were dis tributed for a service and the worshipers paused during the reading of a prayer. The book let read..."beg her to obtain for us the grave we yearn for so ardently." The note to the printer said the word is "grace," not "grave." lies in the speed with which the Mass is said. Children don't even try to use Missals; they Juat can't read as fast as most priests. Adults are having the aame trouble. Many yeara ago in the Army, I knew a priest who said Mass In ten minutes. Admittedly, this la an exception, and yet Sunday Mass schedules seem to be designed for the people who want to get out In a hurry, not for thoie who want to be a part of the Sacrifice. Would it not be better to have the time for Masa a little leai convenient, and give the laymen a chance to take part? In many parishes, Mass la scheduled •very hour - with ten minutes allowed for one congregation to get out of church and another to gst in. With a long sermon and more people receiving Commu nion under the new rules, the celebrant has to race through the prayers in order to finish on time. Might we not schedule Masses every hour and 15 minu tes, Instead of ever hour? The church might be more crowded, but that would not be particu larly harmful. There are many reasons why laymen can't keep up with their priests. Missals, especially dally Missals, are fearsomely complicated affairs. You have to turn to several sections in order to follow any Mass, lnmy latest Missal, the various Prefaces are in a separate section-while 1 hunt up the correct one, the celebrant has outdistanced me. Week-day Masses are even worse: the Missal may say something like "Mass of a Bis hop or a Martyr," but then adds "Substitute the following prsy- ers." The result is that the layman must look in four or more places just to follow the prayers of Mass. Even If he is familiar with the prayers, the process takes time. The Com- munlcantes and Hanc lgltur prayers take a few more minu tes. The difficulty really begins at the start of Mass. It is often extremely difficult to learn which Mass is being offered. The liturgical calendar has been changed, so that a layman can not be sure his Missal is cor rect. No Catholic newspaper that I read will tell me the Masses being offered each day (in advance), nor will most pa rish bulletins. Religious calendars help some, but even these will not tell you which Of several Mas ses the priest is offering when you arrive. And there seem to be other exceptions, when the priest says a Mass not on the regular schedule. One way to check is to verify the vest ments of the priest, to see if they agree with your Missal's instructions. If you come in late in many modern churches, you cannot see the priest on the al tar - which is something I doubt the celebrant realizes. How simple it would be if our priests would simply turn around at the beginning of each Mass and announce, "This is the Mass for the second Sunday af ter Pentecost," or whatever. A placard in the vestibule would also serve, but an altar announ cement would require no ad vance planning or expense. The principal reason for the confusion in following the priest arises from the community or dialogue Mass. The custom is spreading in America, and 1, for one, am delighted. However, it does make it all the more necessary that the pastor tall us what Mass he is saying, and then give us time to keep up with him. When we read the Mass In English, to ourselves, it made little difference if we got be hind or ahead. But now it makes all the difference In the world. When the ushers come around for the Offertory collection (and perhaps a couple of more times for a second collection or to pass out envelopes) the congre gation must abandon their Mis sals for a few moments. Such physical events as a late-comer moving Into your pew alio mean delays. The confusion Is compounded by the way In which the dialogue is held. Number one, there la no agreement as to which pray ers shall be said In unison by the congregation. In some chur ches, the Gloria, fcredo, Sanc- tua, and Pater Noater are said in unison; In other churches, one or more of these prayers is said aloud by the priest only. I don't know why. What makes things more dif ficult Is that the custom varies from priest to priest in the same pariah. One waits for the con gregation to say the Credo with him: another does not. That is why I said at the beginning this matter would have to be resolv ed by the pastor. The other difficulty which will have to be resolved by the pas tor is the speed at which we say these prayers. At one Masa recently, our church had the peak of confusion. The priest said the prayers atone rate; the listers in front said them in unison but at their own speed; the lay reader (apparently a seminarian who spoke Latin beautifully) paced himself at a third rate. The dignity left when the lay reader read the Epistle in En glish and the celebrant went ahead with the Gospel in Latin. The same break-down occurs in many churches at Communion time. A priest arrives to dis tribute the Host before the cele brant has reached that point; the lay reader quits and the congregation gives up all at tempts at a dialogue Mass. Why? What is the rush? If some of the congregation cannot stay for the full Mass, would it not be possible to have a "quick" Mass for them, with a dialogue Mass at reasonable speeds at some other hour for those who would like to participate? Can the priest, sisters, lay reader and congregation not say their pray ers together? We do it beautifully at nove- nas and Rosaries, so perhaps it is just a matter of time. In the meanwhile, give us time to learn our Latin (most of us are still elementary’ students.) Give us time to participate in the Sacrifice. Give us time and op portunity to share in the most wonderful part of the Catholic Church. LOIUS C.
