Atlanta Parochial School were also pre sent: Sister Mary, S.S.J. (Prin cipal), and Sisters Stephen, S. S.J., Gemma, S.S.J., Mary Peter, S.S.J. , and Margaret Mary, S.S.J. Main speaker at the demon stration was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who declared that "something strange and sad had happened to Atlanta”. He added that i f some concrete results were not achieved in the granting of further civil rights to Negroes in the capi tal city, then demonstrations may be the only answer for the Negro leadership. Dr. King said the rally was not an effort to embarrass the city, rather it was to call At lanta to return to justice and ' *to rise from dark yesterdays of racial injustice to bright to- ATLANTA REALTOR morrows of justice for all.” He said that "while boasting of its progress and virtue, At lanta has allowed itself to fall behind almost every major sourthern city in progress to ward desegregation.” Dr. King added: "It is as if the very progress we have made has be come a tranquil! zing drug to lull us to sleep and dull our sensitivity to the continued ex istence of segregation. Indeed our city is in danger of being inoculated with such a mild form of democracy that it will become immune to its genuine sub stance.” Three other Negro leaders spoke on the same theme of inadequate action to eradicate discrimination in public accom modations, housing, and other disabilities suffered by the Negro.

Bishop Dead LETTERKENNY, I r e1 a nd (NC)--Bishop William MacNee- ly of Raphoe, who was the youn gest member of the Irish epis copate when he was consecrat ed 40 years ago, died Dec. 11 at the age of 75. Because of illness he returned home early from the second session of the ecumenical council. Bishop Predicts Speedy U.S. Vernacular Action OKLAHOMA CITY (RNS) — The U.S. Catholic hierarchy’s Commission on the Liturgical Apostolate is working with “utmost speed” to bring En- lish to the Mass in this coun try, according to Bishop Vic tor J. Reed of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Bishop Reed, a member of the commission, said a meet ing has been set by thegroup for early January to select the most appropriate English translation for the Mass and other forms of Catholic wor ship. LATER ON IN the spring, the country’s bishops will meet in Washington, D.C., to approve the translations. The prelates will be acting with new powers authorized at the last session of the Second Vatican Council and promulgated by Pope Paul VI at the Council’s adjournment Dec. 4. "We expect the American bishops, who have welcomed the Council decree on the verna cular, will take maximum ad vantage of this decree and that we will soon have almost the entire Mass In English,” Bls- shop Reed commented in an in terview upon his return from the Council. ”1 AM QUITE hopeful,” he added, "that the bishops who have been against the verna cular will be In a small mino rity, and I feel that this minority gets smaller all the time.” The Oklahoma prelate is one of five bishops on the hier archy's commission. The oth ers are Archbishop John F. Dearden of Detroit, Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta, Bishop Vincent S. Waters of Raleigh, N.C., and Auxiliary Bishop James H, Griffiths of New York. BISHOP REED said the ver nacular Mass will be only an intermediate step until the en tire structure of the Mass'is revised by a postconciliar com mission. This group of theologians and liturgists is expected to take about five years to work out major structural changes in the Mass so as to make it more meaningful and better ad apted to the needs of modern times, he added. INITIALLY, Bishop Reed not ed, the vernacular Mass will only be used in the Low Mass. High Mass, he said, will re main in Latin because of com plex problems involving sacred music. "I was happy with the out come of the Council,” said the prelate. “I feel the proclam ation of the liturgical schema is a great step forward, es pecially since it was passed almost unanimously, 1 think that this is a victory for progres sive thought in the Church.” ON OTHER matters reviewed at the Council’s last session, Bishop Reed said he was con fident that the draft on religious liberty would be taken up again next fall and passed. 'The American bishops were strong ly in favor of this schema,” he declared. Discussing the schema to promote better Catholic-Jewish relations, he expressed regret that it was not passed. He said it would be extremely important for the Council to take a firm stand on anti-Semitism and place the Crucifixion in better historical and theological pers pective (THAT DOCUMENT, as draf ted, would place the blame for Christ’s death on sinful maji- CASES GROW kind, as a whole, and not the Jews alone.) Unlike the first session of the Council, Bishop Reed said, American prelates took a lead in conciliar discussions this fall. "In Rome they caught on quickly and I am sure that by the time the Council is over the American hierarchy will have played a key role in Its proceedings.” Pope Is Concerned By Marriage Suits VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope Paul VI, addressing judges of the Universal Church’s court of appeal, wondered aloud if the in crease in the number of mar riage cases brought before the court is not traceable to a de cline in moral responsibility. Public entertainment, books and other publications have spread "dangerous ideas and mistaken attitudes,” said the Pope. HE ADDED: “And it is also a fact that these stimuli meet with less resistance within the very sanctuary of the family than they did in the past.” The Pope was speaking to the judges of the Sacred Ro man Rota, assembled for their customary papal audience at the beginning of the new judicial year. Dean, or head, of the court is a priest from Shen andoah, Pa., Msgr. Francis J. Brennan. IN HIS ADDRESS to the court, the Pope spoke of the “abso lute necessity of a recall to SACRED HEART the preeminence of moral val ues.” He also praised pastoral un dertakings which "give engaged couples and young married cou ples that moral and spiritual preparation which will illumi nate and strengthen their con science for the holiness of love and the firmness and real hap piness of family life.” POPE PAUL SAID that con science— "that light of the soul”—must rule ecclesiasti cal judges and lawyers as well as the parties involved in a suit. He said also: “THOSE CONTRACTING marriage should not approach it superficially as a caprice of the senses, or an adventure, or an uncertain experiment, but should be conscious of the step they are taking and should see it as the great sacrament which consecrates them to the sub lime mission of collaborating with God in giving life to new creatures and caring for their development with prudence and an awareness of their responsi bility.” Fr. Chauve, Priest And Soldier, Is 85 Priest, teacher and one-time private in the French army. Father Constantin Augustin Chauve, S.M. passed his 85th birthday Tuesday at Sacred Heart, Atlanta, where he has been assigned since last March. He has been a Marist 63 years. Fr. Chauve was ordained a priest June 24, 1902 at Ca tholic University, Washington, D. C.

Chauve was assigned to All Hallows College, Salt Lake, then to Van Buren, Maine, IN 1914, HE returned to his native land, France and joined the French army as a private in the medical corps. He served In the trenches for three years (the French army did not recognize chaplians as such), then, when the U. S. entered the war, became an interpret er with the A. E. F. FAMILY AFFAIR FR. a A. CHAUVE, S.M. After the war Fr. Chauve went to Louisiana, then to San Francisco, then back to Louis iana. He has spent a total of 32 years in Louisiana assign ments. Last March he came to Sacred Heart, here in Atlanta. STILL SPEAKING with a very faint trace of a French accent, Fr. Chauve says “I am happy to be in Atlanta. Everyone has been very kind and good to me. I feel at home.” Carrollton Christmas Supper The families of the Church o f Our Lady in Carrollton held their annual Christmas Holiday Supper on Sunday even ing at Charles Carroll Hall. All of the inducements for a happy holiday spirit were there a bountiful covered-dish sup per, the singing of Christmas Carols, the glittering tree and the jolly Santa Claus. Santa Claus distributed to every boy and girl a religious memento of the occasion from the pastor, Reverend Richard B. Morrow. And to Father Morrow he presented a gift from the Altar Society. After expressing his thanks, Father described some of his child hood memories of Christmas and made the point that it is not the lavish presents, but the remembrance of family traditions and family religous customs, which linger with a child into adulthood. In the games and contests that followed, in which all ages participated, prizes were won by Mrs. Paul Williams, Miss Jamie Van Sant, Miss Joanne Frost, and Jim Coker. Mrs. Rayburn Stallings and her committee of young people were in charge of the preparat ions and entertainment, and. earned the appreciation of all of the members for a wonder ful evening.
