When Manuel Cantelli
arrived in New York from
Cuba five years ago he was
accompanied by his wife, two
children and the ten dollars
he had in his pocket. Little
did he think at that time that
he would be hiring a refugee
from Uganda as a mechanic in
his garage. But when Shoqut
Hussien, a refugee in need of
a job and a place to stay,
recently arrived in Atlanta
from Uganda, Manuel recalled
very clearly what it was like
to suffer and, although he
really didn’t need another
mechanic, he gave Hussien a
job.
The recent plight of Asians
being ousted from Uganda
may not have hit the average
American as yet, but on
October 2, the State
Department announced that
the U.S. would admit 1,000 of
these stateless Asians who
had been ordered out of
Uganda by November 8 by
Ugandan dictator Amin Dada.
The total of “unwanted”
residents forced to quit the
nation is some 60,000,
mostly Asians.
The State Department
asked voluntary agencies
here, including the U.S.
Catholic Conference, to
participate in the
resettlement of these
refugees. The people are of
Indian or Pakistani
background speak English
and are professionals, middle
management personnel, white
collar workers, merchants and
traders. They are almost all
non-Christian Hindus.
So it was that on Monday
evening, December 11, Father
R aphael McDonald,
Archdiocesan Director of
Migration and Refugee
Service of the U. S. Catholic
Conference, met Shoqut
Hussein at the Atlanta
airport. The task before him
was to settle Shoqut into
quarters at the Imperial
Hotel, start arranging for a
job, permanent living quarters
and whatever other needs
were necessary for Shoqut’s
well-being and adjustment.
Arrangements were made
with a restaurant where he
could receive Ms meals.

UGANDA REFUGEE Shoqut Hussien (left) is
accompanied by his fiance Shamin Rajani as they meet
with representatives of the Cuban Conference who
have helped him resettle in Atlanta. Cuban Conference
members pictured are: Victor Citarella and Alfredo
Ledon.
Tuesday was a busy day
for Shoqut and Father
McDonald as they shopped at
Rich’s in search of needed
work clothes etc. Tuesday
night, Shoqut attended the
meeting of the Cuban
Conference at their Ivy Street
Warehouse. He was
accompanied by his fiance
from Uganda, Shamim
Rajani. The Cubans
generously promised to assist
the couple until they are
settled and self-supporting.
Thursday was
apartment-hunting time and a
place was found and
subsequently rented on
Glendale Terrace for Shoqut,
his fiance and her brother.
The Atlanta Gas and Light
Company and Georgia Power
were notified and advised to
give them service. This is a reg
ular policy of the Cuban Con
ference.
Friday was moving day and
even the heavy rains didn’t
dampen enthusiasm. Since
Shoqut was working at the
garage, the tasks involved fell
to Shamim and Father
McDonald. Joe Ladasino of
the St. Francis Conference
donated a bed, box springs,
and a truck with driver for
the occasion. Additional
furniture needed for the
apartment was taken from
the Cuban Conference,
Warehouse, plus other items
which Father McDonald
simply states “I got them
somewhere.”
Thus, one Ugandan exiled
from the land is somewhat
settled in his new territory in
Atlanta. Father McDonald
said another family, also
refugees from Uganda, was
expected to arrive shortly
after the New Year. The
family, mother, father, two
children and one other adult,
will of course need an
apartment, furniture and
considerable help. The men in
the family are salesmen so
Father McDonald is hoping to
obtain employment for them.
Anyone wishing to offer help
or jobs is asked to contact
Father McDonald at the
Catholic Center.

TABLET Devotes
Issue to Women
BROOKLYN, N.Y. (NC) -
THE TABLET, the Brooklyn
diocesan newspaper, has
devoted an entire issue to
women.
Dated December 7, the
eight-page Ms. Tablet was
edited by women and
contained news stories,
features, and editorials
completely about women.
Ms. Tablet also had a
20-page supplement called
Ms. Tablet Magazine. It, too,
was devoted entirely to
women.
“We interrupt this
newspaper to make a special
announcement: Women are
important,” proclaimed the
issue’s editorial. “We regret
that the women had to take
over the TABLET to get your
attention, but really, we felt
this was the best way of
making the point.”
The point, said the
editorial, was “People’s
Liberation,” not “Women’s
Liberation.”
“As long as women are not
free, then neither are men,
because their lives will be
lacking balance and control,”
the editorial stated.
In the issue Mother Teresa
of Calcutta was named the
TABLET’S wo men of the year -
over such luminaries as Mrs.
Pat Nixon, Ethel and Rose
Kennedy, Golda Meir and
Shirley Chisholm.
“A humble woman who
fears not the mighty, a
celibate who is mother to
many,” said the article. “A
radical woman whose roots
are in the Gospel. A woman
of faith, whose fidelity is a
light needed today.
“The TABLET, gratefully
accepting all the nominations
sent in, proudly seconds one
out of all these, and names
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Woman of the Year.”
There was also an article
about the school for women
at the House of Detention on
Rikers Island in New York
City, whose principal is a
woman. “Fifi Rogers, the
principal, is a people-centered
person who runs a school
anyone would be proud to
head,” said the article.
Other articles were by Bess
Myerson, head of New York
City’s consumer affairs
department; Margaret Mead,
the anthropologist, and Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine.
“We have attempted a
put-on or a tour de force,”
said the newspaper’s editorial.
“This is overstatement by
design. We are trying to get
your attention in order to
underscore the very thesis we
are presenting: women are
important in the world and in
the Church.”
BY WOMEN ONLY
NEW YORK -- Photos of women in the symbol of
woman, designed by Sister Jo Ann Sacco, R.S.M., on
the front page of a special edition of the Brooklyn
TABLET -- renamed “Ms. Tablet” for the Dec. 7 issue.
The entire issue was written and edited by women,
and contains features exclusively about women. The
paper went to such extremes in keeping Ms. Tablet a
“by women only” product that male editors spent
their time making coffee and answering the phone as
women on the staff put the paper together.
An editorial said the special women’s edition was
“planned to coincide with the Feast of the Liberation
of Mary (the Immaculate Conception), Dec. 8” and
was attempting to present the thesis that “women are
important in the world and in the Church.” (R.N.S.
