(i PAGE 2 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1964 MESSAGE TO U.S. Pope Urges Children To Aid World Needy NEW YORK (NC) —Pope Paul VI urged the nation's 5,500,000 students in Catholic schools "to make, in the spirit of Lent, your little sacrifices to bring aid and comfort to those in distress" throughout the world. The exhortation came in the traditional Ash Wednesday (Feb. 12) message of the Pope inaugurating the school child ren’s phase of the 18th annual U. S. Bishops' Relief Fund Ap peal. The Pope's message was broadcast by the nation’s major radio networks. POPE PAUL reminded the American Catholic elementary’ and high school students that they "enjoy a standard of liv ing unknown before in history.’* He added: "But, this is not the case with all children every where." "The Pope worries about the PRIEST-MISSIOISER little ones who go to bed at night hungry, or who have not sufficient clothes to protect them against the bitter cold of the winter or the heat of the tropical sun, or who have no parents, or no homes at all, or still worse, who have no country to call their own," the Pontiff said. "The Holy Father’s heart is further bur dened with concern for those children who have recently suf fered from disasters, for ex ample, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and wars." The Bishops’ Relief Fund is the chief financial support of Catholic Relief Services—Na tional Catholic Welfare Confer ence, overseas aid agency of U. S. Catholics. The general campaign for the 1964 fund ap peal will be conducted nation wide from March 1 to 8, cul minating with the customary Laetare Sunday collection on Negro Bishop Urged For U.S. Hierarchy DETROIT (RNS) —The hier archy of the Roman Catholic Church in the U.S. should have a Negro bishop to Improve its image in racial matters, an American Negro missionary priest said here. Father John N. LaBauve, a member of the Society of the Divine Word, said the fact that the Catholic Church has Negro bishops in Africa "means noth ing for the American Church." THERE should be at least one Negro bishop in . this country, he said, because "These days when images are being set, this would be another sign that the Catholic Church is sincere in carrying out her doctrine on integration." Father LaBauve suggested that the first step could be ap pointment of a Negro auxiliary in the North when one of its dioceses requires an assistant as bishop. "I would hesitate to suggest that he be put in the South," the priest added. "I would viUjOiitaa not want to see him exposed to occasional indignities," FATHER LaBauve addressed a breakfast meeting of the De troit Catholic Interracial Coun cil which is seeking signatures on a pledge to practice racial equality in the buying and sell ing of homes. He said he expects the rate of Negro conversions to double in about ten years from the present 11,000 a year once the Church's liturgical reforms are put into practice. He observed that one of the reforms — the saying of parts of the Mass in English — would be popular with Negroes. "The pagenatry of the Mass has not been a barrier to the Negro," he said, "but Latin is definitely a barrier." Father LaBauve, who was reared in Abbeyville, La., and served as a parish priest in Mound Bayou, Miss., is one of about 150 Negro priests in the U.S. Although no Negro bishops are serving in this country, the Church has a number of Negro prelates overseas and cardinal. He is Laurian Card - nal Rugambwa, Bishop of Bukoba, Tanganyika. MOTOR HOTEL FREE MARKING TV ft AIR CONDITIONING FAMOU* MIAMI ftUFFET ICC ft BEVERAGE STATION* • COFFEE MAKER.

The campaign goal is $5 million. In recent years the students in Catholic schools have raised $1 million annually for the fund through sacrifices and contributions during Lent. The campaign last year en abled CRS — NCWC, world’s largest private voluntary relief agency, to maintain a program valued at $176 million which provided food, clothing, medi cines and other relief materials to some 40 million persons in more than 70 countries. CRS— NCWC aid is dispensed solely on the basis of need and with out regard to race religion or color. Pope Paul in his message paid tribute to the farflung pro gram maintained by the Bishops' through the generosity of American Catholics. The text of the Pope’s message follows: My dear Catholic school children of the United States of America: Each year on Ash Wednes day, the Holy Father has taken the occasion to address you on the radio. We, as your new Holy Father, have this pleas ure for the first time. It is a source of joy and happiness for us to be able to speak to you in your own homes and schools, or wherever you are gathered to listen. That our voice can reach you directly is a result of the progress of science, and one marvels at the most recent advances of modern technology which have brought so many benefits to mankind. In this regard, the children of today and particularly you, who live in the United States of America, have many extra ordinary advantages, per mitting you not only to have all that is . necessary to feed you and to clothe you properly, but also to enjoy a standard of living unknow before in his tory. BUT, THIS is not the case wit h all children everywhere. And the Holy Father, who is the common Father of all, takes special interest in those less fortunate children who are un dergoing many sufferings. The •Pope worries about the little ones who go to bed at night hungry, or who have not suf ficient clothes to protect them against the bitter cold of the winter or the heat of a tropi cal sun, or who may have no parents, or no homes at all, or worse still, who may have no country to call their own. The Holy Father’s heart is further burdened with con cern for those children who have recently suffered from disasters, for example, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and wars. However, we are greatly comforted knowing that your own beloved bishops have their own organization. Catholic Re lief Services, through which they give assistance to these needy children. But, this worthy program of worldwide relief is very expensive, and the bishops need the whole - hearted cooperation of their generous Catholic people in order to continue this noble work. Therefore, we encourage you, dear Catholic school children, to make, in the spirit of Lent, your little sacrifices to bring aid and comfort to those in distress. You have been very generous in past years, so that much good has been ac complished, and we urge you once again to help your bishops to aid these poor children of the world. MOST OF you will be able to make some little contribut ion, even at the cost of over coming your desire to buy something for yourselves that you may or may not really need. Some of you will not find it possible to make any of fering. But, certainly all of you can join work of your bishops in assisting the less fortunate children of the world. Confident that you will be ever mindful of your little friends everywhere, we invoke upon you, your good parents, your priests, the religious Sisters and your teachers and abun dance of heavenly blessings and in pledge thereof, we lovingly impart our paternal apostolic benediction.

OLYMPIC WINNER McDermott Won Medal On Borrowed Ice Skates ESSEXVILLE, Mich. (NC)— From now on, it is anticipated, anxious crowds will be queue ing up to get a trimming in the third chair of Bunny’s Barber Shop in nearby Bay City. That’s where Terry McDermott pre sides. Essexville and Bay City com bined to give Richard Terrance McDermott, winner of the Olympic gold medal in the 500- meter ice skating dash in record time, a thunderous welcome home (Feb. 11), Crowds cheer ed as he rode triumphantly in AUTHOR STATES a motorcade to a civic recep tion after his arrival at the airport from Innsbruck, Au stria,site of the winter Olym pic games. UNTIL THE 23-year-old bar ber borrowed a pair of skates and bested Yevgeny Grishin, heavily favored Soviet champ, in the speed skating competi tion, this town’s only previous claim to fame was its cement output and, in earlier days, fish and ice for nearby Sagi naw. Young McDermott whizzed Hitler Wanted End To Church MUENSTER, Germany (NC) — ‘ 'I would simply march into the Vatican and lug out the whole gang, and then I would say: ’Sorry, I made a mistakel’ But then we’d be rid of theml’’ This remark was made by Adolf Hitler, nazi dictator, ac cording to a book by Henry Pic ker, He says the remark is based on stenographic notes made by himself while he was present at meals in the war time headquarters of the "Fue hrer" during ; the years: 1941 and 1942. The book, "Hitler’s Tischgespraeche im Fuehrerh- auptquarder" (Gitler’s Table Talk at the Fuehrer’s Head quarters), was written by Pic ker and Heinrich Heim, and published in Stuttgart. Hitler’s remark was made in reference to Benito Mussolini, the late "Duce" of Italy, whom Hitler blamed for having made what he thought were much too ample concessions to the Holy See in the Lateran treaties. The author of the book al so reports a statement by Hit ler proclaiming the "impend ing collapse of the Church," although it might take one to 200 years. "I am not interested in arti cles of faith’’, Hitler said, "but I won’t tolerate any interfer ence of those sky pilots, for the state must be absolute boss, and this organized deceit must be hit hard. "It ought to be possible," he added cynically, "to arrange for only dumbbells to stand on pul pits, and only old women to lis ten to them because all these men of the cloth are a curse," Hitler also said, according to Picker, that if the government were to cut off its subsidies to the churches, "bishops and clergy would all cringe and beg for help, , . As for myself, once I am buried I would not want to have any popists ar ound within a ten-foot pole dis tance." "Echo der Zeit," Catholic weekly here, in reviewing the book points out that one of Hit ler’s remarks it reports, con stitutes an answer to the char ges leveled at the late Pope Pius XII by Rolf Hochhuth in con nection with the nazi persecut ion of the Jewish people. Hitler said: "If anywhere in this country there were a mutiny, I would have all the opposition leaders, including those who belong to political Catholicism, dragged out of their homes, arrested and exe cuted on the spot" Hitler, says the paper, in his hatred of the Jews also meant to destroy Christianity, and in Christianity, Jewry, "Jewish Chrlstinaity" was the phrase he frequently used indicating that both Jews and Christians were the objects of his venom. EXCHANGED “GOOD WISHES”—At N.C.W.C. headquar ters in Washington, two well-known Catholic journalists ex change good wishes and review the progress of the Catholic press in the Americas. Frank A. Hall, K.C.S.G. (left), of Washington, retires March 1 after serving for 40 years with the staff of N.C.W.C. News Service.

Long Road Ahead In Latin America into worldfame Feb. 4 when he not only bested the Russian champ, but clipped one-tenth of a second off Grishin's world record. McDermott skated the 500 meters in 40.1 seconds. He brought the U.S. its first gold medal in the winter games. MCDERMOTT CAME home a week earlier than expected. He had considered going to Norway for the world speed skating championships, but de cided he’d better get back to barbering and paying for his house here. His wife is the former Vir ginia Vermeesch. They were schoolmates at St. John’s High School here where McDermott played halfback on the football team. They were married last September. "I KNELT DOWN and tried to say the Rosary when I heard Terry had won the Olympic medal," Mrs. McDermott said, "but I only got to say half of it. There were too many phone calls. It was a long time before I could finish the Rosary." McDermott doesn’t smoke, seldom drinks, is "quiet but determined," his wife said. He keeps in physical condition by early morning and evening runs around the neighborhood. He of ten runs the three miles to Bay City and the third chair in Bunny's Barber Shop, which got its name from the owner, Harvey (Bunny) Herbert, now retired, who is McDermott’s uncle. THE OLYMPIC champ also played baseball in his high school days, but showed more interest in ice hockey. From there he went on the carve a name for himself as a speek skater. His wife said she doesn’t skate, doesn’t want to, but add ed: "I’d like to raise a family of skaters. This is really some thing to remember. It will be something wonderful to tell our children." McDERMOTT IS the youngest in a family of six sisters and a brother . His father, Joseph McDermott, retired recently as membership secretary of the East Michigan Tourist Asso ciation. The champ is a parishioner of St. John’s church here. His pastor, Father Gerald H. Hiet- pas, O. Praem., said he’s sure "Terry will remain the real modest type he always has been." He added: "It’s evident that Terry has lots of courage and ambition." MESSAGES OF congratula tions have piled up for McDer mott. One from President John son said "Your matchless skill and competitive daring have won you a warm and lasting place in the hearts of your country men." Another from Gov. George Romney said: "It took a Michigan man to crack the ice for the United States." And before the went to take part in the welcome home for the champ, Mrs. Joseph McDer mott and three of her daughters assisted at 8 a.m. Mass in St. John's church "for Terry." LIMA, Peru (NC)— The Cat holic Church in Peru and most of Latin America will need help from abroad for the next 40 to 70 years, Archbishop Romolo Carboni, Papal Nuncio to Peru told delegates to the first PAVLA convention held here for lay missioners 'working in Peru, Bolivia and Chile. Thirty delegates convened in nearby Chaclacaya (Jan. 25-30) to review their first three years’ lay missionary activit ies. Present at the convention was David O’Shea, national se cretary of the Papal Volunteers for Latin America headquar tered in Chicago. The lay volun teers also held their annual re treat with Father Richard Clifford, Maryknoll priest from Splkane, Wash,, as retreat master. ARCHBISHOP CARBONI backed up his estimate of fut ure missionary needs in Latin America by saying: "This help from abroad must come in the form of priests, Religious and lay apostles, be cause this help must come from the Church as a whole in the entire world, to the Church as a whole in Latin America." THE PAPAL NUNCIO told the delegates that regardless of how numerous they will be come, their numbers will al ways be small in relation to the task. "There will always be more, many more sick, hungry and ignorant people than you can take care of, ’’ he said. Archbishop Carboni remind ed the lay volunteers that their presence in Latin America is concrete proof that the Church in Latin America with all its resources and that the effort will be a total one. "IT WAS A JOY for me to welcome to Peru almost three years ago the first Papal Volun teers. The Papal Volunteer program in Latin America has been of great help not only to the people of the countries where the missioners who are working out their salvat ion in a spirit of generous de dication, which inevitably deep ens their own spiritual life," the Papal Nuncio said. He conferred with O’Shea of the PAVLA national office, re lative to the need of a lay mis- sioner center in Lima to faci- liaison between Peru and U. S. lay sending groups. LOOKING BACK upon three years of lay missioner work in Peru, the Papal Nuncio cit ed instances where adaptat ion to climate and altitude, hea lth problems, understanding the Latin mentality and limit ed funds have created pro blems, but he added: "I believe the greatest weak ness in the lay missioner pro gram is the lack of a central authority and a central office here in Peru." CARDINAL CUSHING Nothing Narrow About Calvary BOSTON (NC) — "Nobody is going to tell me that Christ died on Calvary for a select group,” Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston told 200 Episcopalian ministers here. Cardinal Cushing, speaking at a luncheon of the Massachusetts Clerical Association in historic Trinity church (Feb. 3), praised the Protestant clergy for their scholarship and good will and called for a broaden ing of ecumenical ties. HE PREDICTED that a single authorized version of the Bible will eventually replace the vari ous Catholic and Protestant editions now in use. While Catholics have been urged to read the Bible more, he told the Protestant clergy men, "your people now know the Bible far better than ours". He predicted that the Church will make various changes in an ecumenical spirit, but ex pressed doubt that changes in the regulations on mixed marriages will be among them. "There was a time," he said, "when I thought that my Church’s marriage laws vis- a - vis non - Catholic partners would be mitigated." BUT NOW, he added, "al though I do not like them, I cannot promise they will be changed." He said some of the Church’s marriage laws are "great obstacles to Christian unity." Cardinal Cushing, speaking of his experiences at the Second Vatican Council, said the Pro testant observers knew more about what was going on than he did. "They had Latin inter preters and I never heard a Latin lecture in my life until I entered the first session," he said. After his talk to the mini sters, Cardinal Cushing was taken on a tour of Trinity church by its rector, the Rev. Theodore Parker Ferris, with whom he knelt for several minutes of prayer.
