Fordham To Give
Seminar On Sex
NEW YORK (NC)~Fordham
University, one of the nation's
largest Roman Catholic
schools, will begin a series of
coeducational sex discussions
next fall dealing "frankly and
directly” with such matters as
premarital intercourse, birth
control, and "all aspects of the
relations between men and wo
men in marriage,'’
Letter To The
Editor
EDITOR:
The first thing I read in te
Bulletin is Father Kiernan's
“Georgia Pines’'. I receive the
paper late, as my mother sends
it to me after she has read it.
Having been a member of the
Immaculate Conception parish
when Father first went to At
lanta, so many of his articles
about people of the parish were
especially interesting. But, I
enjoy all of them.
Probably the reason there
haven’t been many “Letters-
to-the Editor” about "Geor
gia Pines’’ is because most
letters are from people who
don't agree with what they have.
read. Those of us who do like
what we read are just lazy or
negligent in writing.
MRS. C.L.
J acksonville,
BAUMGARTNER
Fla.
“Our primary concern is the '
students,” said Dr. Martin J.
Meade, a Fordham vice presi
dent and dean of students. "It’s
apparent that many undergrad
uates are confused about rela
tionships between men and wo
men.”
The action followed a peti
tion by some 150 undergradu
ates at Thomas More College,
the university's women’s divi
sion, for information on sexual
matters.
Dr. Meade noted, however,
that the various departments of
the university have frequently
sponsored seminars on sex and
family planning, and said that
the fall series was a “natural
outgrowth" of these rather than
a new departure.
Msgr. Thomas McGovern, di
rector of the New York arch
diocesan bureau of information,
had no comment on the fall
series, but noted that the Family
Life Bureau of the archdiocese
already has programs on sex
education in the elementary
schools and sponsors discus
sions at the parish level.
The program will be open to
all members of the universtiy
community—men and women
students, faculty and adminis
tration.
Dr. Meade said contracep
tives would be discussed in the
context of “all aspects of the
relation between men and wo
men in marriage.” He said
there would be no break with
the Roman Catholic Church’s
opposition to the use of arti
ficial birth control devices.

“Our food is gone and we are hungry,” he told
Monsignor Nolan in Jerusalem. "I’ve looked
everywhere for a job.” .. . Seventeen years old,
a Palestine refugee, he had come to our office
for one week’s food ($2.5CQ for his mother and
y^ingeF%iSfers; His-mother, a widow, is?b(fncf Jf’.;
‘‘iri*-Tiad a job, we could keep the family to
gether,” he said. "Without a job, what will I
do?” . . Meanwhile in Bethlehem, 30 minutes
away, eight young refugees on Pontifical Mission
scholarships ($275 each) were completing their
training as carpenters, electricians, tailors and
mechanics in the famed Salesian Fathers’
school. They now have jobs, and they’ll never
need our help again. . . . For only $275 alto
gether ($23 a month) you can give a deserving
young man the self-help craft he needs to take
care of himself for life. We’ll select him care
fully, ask him to write to you, and you may
meet him if someday you go to the Holy Land.
Training him can be your way of winning the
war on poverty overseas, as the Holy Father
urges. . . . Our goal this year is 100 new scholar
ships ($27,500). Will you give one, or more than
one? Name the scholarship(s) for someone you
love, or in memory! - •

Remember the Palestine refugees? They’re the
people (they now number 1.3 million) who lost
their farms and jobs in Palestine as a result of
the Arab-lsraeli war 19 years ago. For those still
cooped up in UN camps, the Pontifical Mission
this week by mail tells about them, the children
in particular, asking your help in the Holy
Father’s name. „
□ $1,500 puts new equipment in Father Roberts'
home for deaf-mute youngsters in Lebanon.
□ $125 buys the sewing-machine a young girl
needs to support herself.
□ $120 feeds a needy family all year. $10 is
food for a month.
□ $2 gives baby a warm blanket.
Say it is for our "corporate purposes” if you
want your bequest used where the Holy Father
says it’s needed most. Our legal title: Catholic

Nuns Come To Aid
Of Orphans In Ceylon
COLOMBO, Ceylon (NC)—A
poverty-stricken father in a
Ceylonese village placed his
baby twins on the highway to be
run over by the next car or
bus that passed, but a neighbor
rescued them and handed them
over to a convent.
Acute poverty, caused by a
serious unemployment prob
lem, leads people to such points
of desperation in this underr
developed Asian country.
Some of these acts are not
purely for economic reasons.
Unwed mothers sometimes
commit infanticide and often
abandon their children outside
police stations, in churches
or on the doorsteps of convents;
One morning, a convent
opened its doors and found five
babies in a basket on the steps.
The homes for foundlings and
orphanages are very over
crowded. An official report
states that four out of five
homes run by the state depart
ment of probation and child
care services are filled far
beyond capacity.
The Catholic Church has been
trying to remedy this situation
for many years.The Good Shep
herd Sisters, the Franciscan
Missionaries of Mary, Sisters
of the Apostolic Carmel and of
the Blessed Virgin, Franciscan
Brothers and Brothers of St.
Joseph are among those who
care specially for orphans and
abandoned babies.
One of the oldest of such
institutions is run by the
Franciscan Missionaries of
Mary at Moratuwa—a town on
the southwestern coast of
Ceylon. It first started its
mission of mercy at the turn
of the century.
Having neither the facilities
nor the staff to take care of
the babies, but unwilling to
send them away, the nuns
arranged for the babies to be
boarded with families in the
vicinity. These families were
paid monthly for the babies'
upkeep and also given a supply
of condensed milk. Once a month
the babies had to be brought
to the convent to assure the
nuns that they were being well
looked after.
Twenty years later, the nuns
were able to put up a building
for the nursery that they so
longed to have.
Since then, it has always
been full, its present capacity
being about 30. Several babies
have to be refused admission
each year, because of lack of
space.
The overcrowding problem
is' being eased by' giving oilt
the-babies 'for legal adoption,
and the nuns take great care 1
to see that the foster parents
will bring up the babies as their
own and not employ them as
servants.
Parents of the infants are
also encouraged to visit them,
because all the love and care
on them by the nuns cannot
compensate for the loss of their
parents’ love. A few mothers
work in the convent for a few
months in order to be near
their children.
The funds for the maintenance
of the nursery are mainly
donated by Thomas Cardinal
Cooray, O.M.I., of Colombo and
by the Holy Childhood Society.
A Catholic doctor provides free
medical aid and also an annual
Christmas party. Occasionally
other parties are also provided
by kindrhearted families.
It is hoped that, as the co
ordination among lay apostolic
groups strengthens, it will be-
possible for the laity to partic
ipate more in such charitable
works as the running of
a nursery. The wider, more,
basic problem of reaching the
families of these abandoned in
fants can then be tackled.
Orthodox Bishops Back
American Viet Policy
NEW YORK (RNS)—The
Standing Conference of Orth
odox Bishops, meeting here,
went on record as stating
the U.S, policy in Vietnam "is
directed against the spreading
of a totalitarian atheistic
ideology and is justified as
such.”
It held that the "Vietnam
struggle cannot be viewed in
isolation from the confrontation
of the free and Communist
worlds,” cited the Communist
dedication “to the ultimate
liquidation of organized re
ligion,” and concluded that "an
Orthodox Christian cannot be
neutral before the extension of
the Marxist sphere of in
fluence.”
Issue of a statement, the
Conference said, came because
the bishops were asked to issue
one "that would serve to guide
the Orthodox faithful and to
clearly indicate that a majority
of the hierarchs support the
American presence in Vietnam
and are in disagreement With the
National Council, (of Churches)
position.” Six of the Churches
are members of the NCC.
In an unprecedented move,
; the Standing Conference issued
two statements, majority and
minority reports of the nine
E astern Orthodox bishops par-
, ticipating in the annual Spring
i meeting.
