decided upon by the ad hoc
committee involves these points:
-Each Ordinary is asked to
send one priest to the meeting to
be held in his region. The date
and place of each meeting will be
announced later.
-The priest selected should be
prepared to present the names of
no more than five priests from his
diocese for consideration at the
regional meeting, outlining the
qualities of each nominee on a
separate memorandum. Each
regional meeting will select five
nominees from those proposed.
-From the list of 50 diocesan
priest-nominees presented by the
10 regional meetings, the ad hoc
committee will select 10 to serve
on the council.
-Similar meetings to draw up
lists of lay nominees will be held
at the same time and at the same
place that the regional meetings
of priests are scheduled.
-EACH Ordinary is asked to
send two lay delegates, one man
and one woman, to the regional
meeting. These two
representatives w£ff propose no
more than 10 candidates from
their diocese. The qualities of the
lay candidates, it is stated, would
generally be the same as those of
the priests.
--To select the .two
representatives from each
diocese, the Ordinary is asked to
name a committee of 15 lay
persons who will be
representative “of the various
organizations and groupings in
the diocese.” The diocesan
councils of men and women and
youth should be represented if
they exist in the diocese. The list
of candidates drawn up by this
committee will be presented at
the regional meeting. The list
should represent “a good cross
section of the diocese, e.g., age
groups, profesional and
non-professional persons, married
people, single people, ethnic and
racial groups, etc.”
ARCHBISHOP Dearden states
that while the procedure outlined
“poses certain difficulties,” it will
ensure that the membership of
the council is “as representative
as possible.”
The USCC plans to pay the
travel, room and board expenses
of Advisory Council members
once the organization is
completed, but each diocese is
asked to pay the expenses of its
delegates to the preliminary
regional meetings.
It is noted that membership
on the Advisory Council “is a
unique opportunity for assisting
the bishops in carrying out the
work of the Church in the
modern world.” Criteria for
selecting members, it is stated,
should include:
-A sense of the needs of the
Church and an understanding of
the meaning of renewal.
—A familiarity, commensurate
with one’s age and experience,
with the major social and
religious issues of the day.
-Personal maturity.
IN ADDITION to these
personal qualities, it also
suggested that factors such as age,
professional and non-professional
status, geographic representation,
marital status (i.e., both single
and married), race and national
origin be considered, to make the
representation as wide as
possible.
The ten regions in which
nominating meetings will be held
have been set up as follows, with
geography and Catholic
population determining factors:
Region 1: Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut.
Region 2: New York State.
Region 3: New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Region 4: Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia,
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi.
Region 5: Michigan and Ohio.
Region 6: Indiana and Illinois.
Region 7: Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri.
Region 8: Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
Region 9: California, Oregon
and Hawaii.
To meet our urgent food
and clothing needs, we
are grateful for:
Low Masses ($2.00)
High Masses ($5.00)
Washington, Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and
Nevada.
It is proposed that
chairmanship of the Advisory
Council be rotated among the
four classes of membership—bi
shops, diocesan priests, Religious
and laity. It is also proposed that
the 50-member Council establish
an executive committee of
possibly 10 persons, with two
members from each class, except
for the laity, for which two
women and two men would be
elected by the lay women and
laymen, respectively.
BUT since we can never
meet our needs of
30,000 every month, we
are HAPPY with $1.00
stipends.

Clark Harrison believes in getting things done. And
he wants to build the things our County needs. For example, health
and mental hygiene facilities which could act for preventive care. He
believes we must build them using available matching funds.
He believes we need a South DeKalb Hospital and lie’ll encourage the
Hospital Authority to pursue their plans to build us one. And he pledges
his best efforts to secure the necessary funds to make it a first-class
medical facility.
We need retirement homes for our senior citizens and those who cannot
care for themselves and he believes they should be encouraged and
developed now. He believes facilities must be expanded to handle our
increasing sanitation problem.
To encourage and develop better housing, he believes we should
immediately draw up a plan and put it to work to stop the spread of
slums throughout the County.
