PACE 8 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1963 SENATOR RIBICOFF Government Backs Some School Aid (CONTINUED FROM PAGE i) that hai largely been ignored,*' Sen. Riblcoff continued. "Many share the President's view that the Constitution does prohibit aiding a church-related school with no restriction whatever on the use of such funds. Aid in such form would support the plainly religious aspects of the school. But aid that is limited to certain specified uses or aid that is extended generally but with certain specified ex ceptions stands on an entirely different footing. "FOR EXAMPLE, it is one thing to give $50,000 to St. Mary's High School and per mit those funds to be used for any purposes which might in clude the building of a chapel; it is quite a different thing to give the same school the same $50,000 for the specific pur pose of building a chemistry laboratory. The former is across-the-board aid; the latter is not." Some will argue that the dif ference is of little consequence since aid for a specific pur pose like a chemistry lab re vives the school of the finan cial burden for that item and thus frees the school funds for other items like chapels. But that would be true only if the school intended to spend $50,000 for a chemistry lab whether or not it received public assis tance. "IT MAY well be that the public funds enable the school to construct a chemistry lab it would otherwise do without. In that case there is no free ing of school funds for other purposes. Futhermore, publicly NELSON RIVES REALTY INC. 3669 CLA1RMONT ROAD CHAMflLEE, GEORGIA REAL ESTATE, INSURANCE, SALES RENTALS, residential AND COMMERCIAL RROEERTY PHONE: 451-2323 Look Foi Oscar financed benefits that save a church-related school money it can use for religious purposes obviously are not all prohibited by the Constitulon. For ex ample, municipal police andflre protection save the school money which it can use for other purposes. The community could require the school to as sume these responsibilities and pay thelr'Costs, but no one ser iously believes the Constitution requries this." Declaring that "this distinc tion between across-the-board and restricted aid has been recognized by Congress," Sen. Riblcoff pointed out that "Con gress has never authorized funds on an across-the-board basis for church-related edu cation." "But under the National De fense Education Act," he said, "Congress has extended fin ancial support to church-relat ed schools for the specific pur pose of acquiring equipment to teach math, science, and foreign languages. And in the pending bill to provide funds for construction of college facili ties, both the bill recommend ed by the administration and the version approved by the House Committee on Education and Labor specifically excepts faci lities for sectarian instruction, religious worship or divinity schools." THIS SHOWS that there are ways of aiding private education without doing it on an across- the-board basis, the Senator said. "I think the point Is clear," Ihe asserted. "The administra tion does not stand opposed to all forms of aid to church- related schools. It believes some forms of aid—especially across-the-board aid— are unconstitutional. But as die let ter from the Commissioner of Education makes clear, it dots support aid to prlvata education thay observes constitutional li mitations. "And, as the President hai said, Congress has its respon sibility, apart from executive recommendations, to consldar which forms of aid to private education are both consti tutional and dasirabla." SEN. RIBICOFF said ha be lieves "the educational oppor tunities of every student must be broadened, " and "this can be done by aiding public edu cation and, within constitutional limitations, aiding private edu cation as well." "It is of the utmost impor tance," he said, "that there be widespread public debate on the entire subject of financing education...But the debate must be based on facts, free of mis understandings."

EXPERT SAYS Modern Church Architecture Bad SAN FRANCISCO (NC)— "Half-way good architecture is worse than bad architecture, and, unfortunately, mediocrity is predominant now." A Belgian priest-expert on religious art made the obser vation here in discussing mod ern church architecture. IN A lecture at San Francis co college for Women, Father Frederic de Buyst, O. S. B., advisor to the Belgian Govern ment on religious art, asserted: "The present crisis of church architecture is a spirit of ex teriority." He said there is no reason to show the world that today "we can build temples like Solo mon." The Benedictine contin ued: "We need rather the spirit that came from the synagogues. Genuine Christian values must act as a leaven, silently and discreetly apostolic." "WE CANNOT call a church modern which has a modem exterior structure without an Interior liturgical relevance for Integral participation," said Joseph E. Kelley A Requiem Maas was offered yesterday at St, Thomaa More Church, Decatur, for the repose of the soul of Joseph, E. Kelley, who died list week. Father Mat thew W. Kemp officiated, and the Interment was atCrestlawn. On Tuesday there had been re citation of the Rosary, attended by the family and friends. Father de Buyst, who is edi tor of an art magazine. "A church is not a prayer in stone, a monument to mystical thunder and lightning," Father de Buyst said. "Rather it should help Christians to pray, auth entically and liturgically." The key quality which should characterize the church of tomorrow, he said, is one of genuine hospitality. The chur ches of tomorrow should be built by Christians and should foster a spirit of family wor ship and family dialogue, he de clared. Pope Goes To Albano Hills VATICAN CITY (RNS)— Pope Paul VI will take up re sidence at the papal summer villa at Castel Gandolfo, in the Alban Hills near Rome, on Aug. 5, according to Vatican sources.

Father Henry V. Sattler, C, SS.R.. said that the use of the pill /'can be morally justified only if its purpose is to remedy pathological conditions, to maintain a pregnancy, or, under certain conditions, to regula rize menstrual cycles." THE ASSISTANT director of the Family Life Bureau, Nation al Catholic Welfare Conference, Movie Ratings For Yougsters ALBANY, N. Y. (NC)—The rating of motion pictures on their suitability for youngsters of school age has been recom mended by the New York State Board of Regents. The board's proposals were forwarded to Assemblyman Luigi R. Marano of Brooklyn chairman of the Joint Legislat ive Committee for the Study of the Dissemination of Offensive and Obscene Material. The committee is studying the pro posals. commented upon the recent clearance by the Food and Drug Administration of Enovid for continued prescription use. The Federal agency ruled that Enovid, formerly recommended for use for a maximum of two years, now may be used up to four years. The agency said, however, that the drug's manufacturer— G. D. Searle & Company—must caution doctors against pre scribing it for certain classes of patients, including women over 35, because of possible health hazards. The FDA announcement said that in determining whether to prescribe Enovid for women in that age group, physicians must weigh the apparent health ha zard against the demonstrated hazard of pregnancy Itself. FATHER Sattler said he was "particularly amazed" at this statement. "Granted that my reading of medical literature is nonpro fessional," he said, "the ha zards of pregnancy seem ra ther low—about one death in 10,000 deliveries. Why can't we be honest and admit that Enovid and other contracep tives are prescribed for real medical reasons in a very low percentage of cases? Social, economic and psychological reasons are more frequently used."

AMONG YOUNG F actor KANSAS CITY, Kan (NC)— Pat Finley sums up in one word the factor that contributes most to juvenile deliquency. The word is: "Cars." He's the juvenile probation officer for Wyandotte County, Kan. His files bulge with re ports and statistics that show better than 60 percent of the cases in juvenile court—in dependent of traffic violations— are directly or indirectly the result of automobiles. "THERE IS a direct ratio be tween automobiles in the hands of boys and their marks in sc hool," Finley said, "About 50 per cent of the boys we han dle have dropped out of school. Many of these boys were'A* and 'B* students in grade and junior high. Grade depreaction came only after they started driving their own car or one their parents—too generously- -made available to them." In his work, Finley handles boys up to the age of 16, In cases ranging from delinquency and miscreancy (comparable to felony and misdemeanor in adult law) to dependency and neglect. He said: "There is no reason for a dependency and neglect case In any court. There Is no outright poverty in this coun try in this age: there are too many agencies to look after the welfare of the citizens. "A LOT of these cases in volve drinking parents," he continued. "But others are a result of the easy divorce laws, giving rise to a generation of fatherless children. It is not un common for a 10 or 11-year -old to be making decisions for himself and his brothers that he normally wouldn’t be making until he was 18 or 19 years old.” Finley said another top re ason for juvenile crime is lack Protector Is Pope PITTSBURGH (NC) — Pope Paul VI has agreed to serve as the protector of the Ponti fical Association of the Holy Childhood, it was announced here. The U. S. national office of the association disclosed that Msgr. Adrian Bressolles, dire ctor general of the association in Paris, received word of the Pope's acceptance to act as pro tector.

Ten thousand Catholic elelmentary schools take part In the program in this country, and it is carried out by some 130 diocesan directors who re ceive advice and materials from the national office here. The Sacred Congregation of Rites hat examined the heroic nature of the virtues of Father Gaspare Bertonl, founder of the Stigmatine Fathers. He was bom at Verona, ‘Italy, October 0, 1777, and was ordained June 17, 1800. He found* ed the Congregation of Priest# of the Holy Stigmata of Our Lord Jeaus Christ in 1816 and died at Verona June 12, 1863. Hia beatification cause was introduced in 1006. In Delinquency of family life. "'Families live in the same house, under the same roof, each with differenct schedules and different ideas—and nothing in common," he declared. "Parents are sometimes very selfish, even disassociating themselves from their children. They consider the children a social barrier." RELIGION plays an important role in deterring Juvenile crime, Finley said. "We find fewer offenders from a family where religion is a part of the daily life", he detailed. "Of these fewfrom practicing religious families— of any denomination—the per centage of second offenses is extremely small." Was St. Thomas Once In Mexico?
