Program Concerns 4 Girls At The Bottom
;• Women In Community Service
j: (WICS) is concerned with girls
!;at the bottom of the economic
■land social ladder. This common
j; concern brought together WICS
I; volunteers in an interde-
j[ nominational and interracial
!; effort to recruit and screen high
;! school graduates and drop-
outs for the Women’ JobCorps.
•: Atlanta’s WICS center opened ,
[• two years ago and "began as a
;j crash program’’, said Mrs.
J; George J. Gunning. "The girls
;• have no confidence in us or in
j: themselves when they come in
|i —it is rewarding to see them
;• so eager to break the cycle of
j: poverty."
;j Applicants are interviewed at
■[ the Atlanta center, 136 Marietta
I* st., N.W., or by WICS volunteers
•[who travel the state in a mobile
•; unit. "We ask them a million
;jquestions," said Mrs. Jean
•: Weaver, program director.
:• Questions range from home
j: background and education, to
medical histories and I.Q. tests.
[•Qualified applicants are placed

scattered across the country
[•from Poland Springs, Maine,
•[to Los Angeles, Calif.

Tex. The girls were from La
Grange, Griffin, and the Atlanta
area. "It was hectic around
here that day," Mrs. Weaver
said.
Mrs. R. L. Stephens, a
member of the transportation
committee, was assigned to pick
up a girl at her home in Butter
milk Bottom and take her to
the airport. "The girl’s mother
wanted to ride along," said Mrs.
Stephens. “She was bom at
Grady Hospital and had lived
all her life within sight of
Grady. She had never seen the
airport. Like so many mothers
I have met, she was glad her
daughter had an opportunity to
get away."
To help the girls make the
most of their opportunity,
trained personnel and coun
sellors at the centers provide
programs that vary according
to the needs of the individual
enrollee. The day is spent in
studies, vocational training, and
recreational activities. There
is emphasis on homemaking
Internationalizing Movement
Continues In Curia Change
VATICAN CITY (NC)—Con
tinuing his efforts to inter
nationalize the Roman curia,
the Church’s central ad
ministrative offices, Pope Paul
VI has appointed the French
cardinal-archbishop of Lyons
to be prefect of the Congregation
of the Council.
Jean Cardinal Mllot will fill
a post left vacant by the death
of Peter Cardinal Ciriaci on
Dec. 30.
On the same day, Archbishop
Francesco Carpino, until then

the Sacraments, and Archbishop
Dino Staffs, secretary of the
Congregation of Seminaries and
Universities, became pro
prefect of the Supreme Tribunal
of the Apostolic Signature. With
the title of pro-prefect, both of
these prelates become in effect
full administrators of their con
gregations, while the present

and personal grooming. Basic
education courses prepare the
corpswomen for high school
degrees, college, business or
service occupations.
Corpswomen at the centers
are drawn together from 50
states. "Think of college girls
and the problems they have
adjusting and multiply it by
the problems of girls from
impoverished homes — this
gives you some idea of the
situation," said Mrs. Weaver.
The adjustment is filled with
loneliness. To encourage the
girls at the centers, Mrs. Hazel
Marsden, public relations
director, writes monthly news
letters sharing the views of
trainees from this area.
"When they go off,” she said,
“we hope they will be real
istic. We hope to uplift the
girl, and through her, her
family.”
Many groups have "adopted”
corpswomen at the center. "We
are proud df the work in the
South deanery,” said Mrs. Ray
mond Norton, president. The
WICS members send letters
and packages to the girls "so
they know they are remem
bered." The girls return with
a changed appearance, Mrs.
Norton said. "They are proud
of something-they often bring

The new prefect of the Con
gregation of the Council was

scarcely a week after suc

Gerlier as archbishop of Lyons.
Cardinal Gerlier died Jan. 17,’

was automatic, since he had

; The work of WICS members
tin the three ACCW deaneries
iinvolves recruitment, trans
portation, letter-writing, and
’planning parties for the girls
'who return. Mrs. Dorothy
; Briggs of Rome, Ga., and Mrs.
# Douglas McElhinney, Dalton,
Ga. plan to organize a screen
ing center in Dalton.
The WICS program is
‘growing. Mrs. James Hickey,
one of the first volunteers,
•:said, "There is such a camara
derie, a willingness on the part
of women from four organi
zations to work together on a
community affairs project."
Mrs. Hickey is a liason volun
teer from ACCW.
Efforts of WICS have helped
place 170 corpswomen in the
job corps program, which is
funded by the EOA. While they
are in training, the girls receive
a $30-a-month allowance.
Budgeting money is part of the
program, said Mrs. Weaver.
An additional $50 a month is
kept in a fund for the corps-
woman. Under certain financial
circumstances, half the.amount
can be sent home to help her
family.
WICS program director, Mrs. Jean Weaver discusses plans for a WICS alumnae club with Mrs. j
Hazel Marsden, publicity chairman. [
To receive full benefit from
the program, the girls should
stay at least a year, said Mrs.
Marsden. The average training
period is less than a year. WICS
plans an alumnae group for the
girls who return. The meetings
would keep the girls together
and provide social activities,
she said.
“I think the alumnae idea is
a good one,” said Alice Shin-
hoister, a graduate of the Omaha
center. "It would give us a
chance to meet new girls and
tell them about the program."
What has the job corps done
for her? Miss Shinholster
answered: "Deep down within,
you think you can do it, but
there is always so much
pressure, you feel like giving
up. The Job Corps pointed out
to me that it doesn't matter
where you live, if you keep
on, you can be great some
day."
Pope Sees ‘Sorrowful Happenings’
VATICAN CrTY (NC)--Pope
Paul VI warned the bishops
of Italy that "something very
strange and sorrowful is
happening,*’ even within Cath
olic areas, which is endanger
ing faith.
Speaking to the general
assembly of the 260 bishops
of Italy who have been meet
ing in Rome, the Pope praised'
their programs of action but
devoted a good part of his
talk to attacks on objective
truth and teachings of the
Church.
"Something very strange and
sorrowful is happening, not only
within the profane, religious
and antireligious mentalities,
but also within the Christian
camp, not excluding the Cath
olic one, and frequently, al
most like an inexplicable
’dizziness of the spirit,* even
among those who know and study
the word of God,
"There occurs a lessening
of certainty in objective truth
and in the capacity of human
thought to attain it. The sense
of the one and genuine faith
is changed. There are admitted
the most radical assaults on
the sacrosanct truth of our
teaching, always believed and
professed by the Christian
people. Every dogma which is
not pleasing and which calls
for humble respect of the mind-
so that it might be heard is
called into question.
"The irreplaceable and
providential authority of the
magisterium is not considered.
One pretends to preserve the
name of Christian, arriving at
negations far from any religious
content.’*
The Pope rioted that up till
now this state of affairs has
not reached a notable level in
Italy but that still there are
some "among us who do not
fail to echo these subversive
voices....**
To his assembled visitors
the Pope declared: "It is up
to us bishops above all, the
teachers and witnesses of the
faith as we are, to take
positions; with positive af
firmation of the word of God
and of the teaching of the Church
which is derived from it. And
where that is not enough (we
must) denounce calmly and sin
cerely the errors, circulating
sometimes like an epidemic.,
Pope Paul also recommended
to Italy’s bishops greater
activity in the field of the Cath
olic laity and alerted them to
the problem of morality in Italy.
A wide awake Catholic
He’s thinking about a stimulating article he
just read in Extension Magazine. How
come? Because Extension is up-to-date.
Every issue is packed with eye-opening arti
cles that modern Catholics want to read to
keep on their toes during these fast-moving
times. A large-sized magazine, the new
Extension is full of picture stories, color,
human interest features; and there is some-'
thing of special interest to every member of
the family. It’s a bright, delightful maga
zine, not a Catholic text book.
Sound interesting? You bet it is. In fact,
next Sunday yoUr pastor will recommend
Extension on “Home Mission Sunday” in
your parish. (Extension is published
monthly by the Extension Society for the
support of the neediest home missions.) You
will receive a handy subscription envelope.
Expensive? Hardly. One year only $4. Two
years $7, three years $10. Just return the
envelope on the following Sunday, and then
find out for yourself how much fun it is to
be a wide-awake Catholic.
