Over the pews hung two large chandeliers—acquired when the Empress Theater in Fairbanks was demolished. THE ATTRACTIVE terrazo- type floor had been made by Jesuits and lay workers from crushed Alaskan rock, mixed with metal fragments to make it distinctive. The high windows bordering the chapel contained panes of colored and clear glass. The sides and back of the altar were of painted concrete block. And running the length IOWA MONASTERY of one wall was a crack—a reminder that the chapel had been shaken by the Good Fri day earthquake last March 27. Headed by Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York, a parade of Catholic prelates traveled a winding dirt road to this chapel in Alaska’s wilderness, where the towering Wrangell Moun tains and the turbulent Copper River were part of nature's backdrop.

For first-time visitors to the Copper Valley School on July 31 it was stirring proof that Catholicism is growing with Alaska. Opened in 1956, Copper Valley School now has 150 pupils in the seventh through twelfth grades, most of them from Indian and Eskimo villages served by Jesuit missionaries. Austere in everything but spirit and morale, the school was envisioned in the early 1950s by Father James Buchanan, S.J, The design of the school, seven wings and a central rotunda, is the work of Father James Spils, S.J. BISHOP Boileau selected the school for his consecration site because its chapel is the largest in the Fairbanks diocese and because it is a monument to the work of Alaska's Jesuit mis sionaries. The consecration ceremony Itself, believed one of the farthest north rites of its kind in Catholic history, is further testimony of the Church's growth in Alaska. In 1950 Alaska had one bishop, With the elevation of Bishop Boileau, Alaska now has three bishops and two dioceses, Co- consecrators were Bishops Francis D, Gleeson, S,J„ of Fairbanks, and Dermot O'Flanagan, of Juneau, In his new role as Coad jutor, Bishop Boileau, now 52, said he will serve as "legman" for Bishop Gleeson. He added that in visiting remote mission sites he will travel the same way he did as a Jesuit mis sionary — by dog team, plane and snowmobile. ST.

FINAL House approval of the bill came by a vote of 226- 184, President Johnson hailed the action, saying, "We have by this compassionate commit ment kept faith with the mor ality of our society. . . We are opening the door of op portunity a little wider for all of our people and that is what has always made our country stronger and more success ful." The House adopted two major amendments to the bill relating to private agencies and insti tutions. One would bar them from receiving Federal funds for antipoverty activities if they had not previously been enga ged in such efforts. lng fly-by-night outfits that might seek to capitalize on the antipo/erty "war" and said it would not hamper participat ion by a bona fide agency or institution. The second amendment would permit governors to veto any Federally financed antipoverty programr in their states, whe ther conducted under public or private auspices. The Senate had adopted a similar provis ion, but had limited governors* veto powers to programs opera ted by private agencies and in stitutions. THE VETO amendment was regarded as a concession to sta tes’ rights sentiment In the two chambers. Programs for youth train ing make up a major part of the antipoverty "war." They in clude a Job corps for 40,000 young people who would live for up to two years in conserva tion camps and training cen ters; a work-training pro gram for 200,000 youths aimed at increasing their employability and helping them stay in school; and a work- study program to assist needy college students. public and private resources for a variety of amipoverty pro jects; creation of a so-called "domestic Peace Corps" to be named Vista—Volunteers in Service to America; and financial assistance to small farms and businesses.

Father Robert T, Francoeur, a graduate student in biology at Fordham University, told the 1964 convention of the Catho lic Art Association, held at Georgetown University, that Teilhard provides the key that will unlock the ages-old con- fltet between matter find spirit in Christian philosophy. "TEILHARD denied any op- positlon between matter and spirit," Fathek Francoeur sale* (Aug, 14). "Matter and spirit can only be opposed to eacn other in a static world vision. In an evolutionary universe, matter and spirit fade one into the other in dynamic dialogue," When this happens, he con tinued, the material world is no longer seen as the * vanity of vanities" or "a series of obstacles to be overcome and put up with," "For Teilhard," he said, "each piece of matter was im portant; material things are ‘foot-holds, intermediaries to be made use of, nourishment to be taken, sap to be purified, and elements to be associated with us and borne along with us.' " A FRENCH Jesuit, Teilhard died in New York in 1955, De spite his recognized scientific achievements and personal piety, the Holy Office in 1962 nevertheless Issued a warning on his published works on the grounds that they confused science, philosophy and theo logy. He was, said Father Francoeur, "a man of im peccable science, dedicated to research and devoted to evi dence. He was a man in love with the earth and its hidden powers. He was also an exile— a priest-scientist who often found himself mistrusted and ignored by his fellow Chris tians because of his devotion to this world. "IT WAS only natural that a soul as sensitive as Teil hard should feel this exile, especially when he believed it was due to the inability or unwillingness of his Christian friends to see the spiritual power residing in matter," Father Francoeur cited Teil hard's belief in God’s "diaphany"—the transparency of God in the universe, , MONTESSORI CHILDREN’S HOUSE The September 9, 1964 opening of its FIRST GRADE Teacher- Mrs. Martha Buckley One of the finest 1st Grades (maximum enrollment - 25) with Catholic religious instruction for preparation for the reception of the sacr aments of the Church.
