Box 9503 YCW leader states: Lack of Confidence Is Major Youth Problem CINCINNATI — (NC) — Lack of confidence is a major under lying problem of youth today, Ger Private Colleges Oppose Proposal For Federal Aid ROCKFORD, 111. — (NC) — Presidents of 29 private and church-related colleges have pro tested Federal legislation which proposes U.S. grants to institutions such as their own or scholarships for students. John A. Howard, president of Rockford College and coordinator of the protest, said the group sent adjoint telegram to all members of the House Rules Committee, which will decide the fate of the legisla tion. Howard indicated that the tele gram signers were drawn from smaller institutions, such as his own 480-student college. All sign ers headed privately endowed in stitutions, several of which are re lated to Protestant denominations. No signer headed a Catholic col lege or university. He said that although the presi dents had a variety of specific rea sons for their opposition, including objections by some on Church , State grounds, they agreed to say in the telegram that the Federal aid proposals would establish a “radically new program” which would have “devastating conse quences” both for the institutions and the public interest. aid King, president-elect of the Na tional Young Christian Workers movement, told a leadership meet ing here. “Young people have never been shown their own worth, their own uniqueness,” he said. “Forty years ago when Msgr. Joseph Cardijn first founded the YCW movement in Belgium, he had an extraordin ary faith in the capabilities of young working people. He had a tremendous belief in their mission. He told the first four members they must conquer the world. “SINCE THAT TIME” he re minded, “the YCW has spread to 2,000,000 members in over 90 coun tries. It was carried to the United States. And it spread to Cincinnati and to you here who, in turn, are charged with the same mission.” The meeting, held in Our Lady of the Visitation parish was the first study weekend held here. Theme of the weekend was “Formation in the Lay Apostolate.” Emphasizing that personal for mation must come through observ ing, judging and then doing some thing about prevailing problems, King pointed out that “this process is more difficult, but often more important in America.” “We don’t,” he explained, “have the difficulty of a young worker in India, where his problem might be starving. The solution there is ob viously to find something for him to eat. Here the problems are more complicated. A young person is lonely, confused, or lacks confi dence — and we must find the un derlying causes behind these prob lems of the spirit.

In a letter to the Bishops of the country, Pope John praised the “open-handed charity of American Catholics.” He said their generosity toward the world’s needy “has made it self felt in almost every land and clime, making it possible to pro vide food and clothing for consid erable numbers of their hungry fellowmen, shelter for the home less and hospitals and medicines for the sick and infirm.” The Pope’s letter was made pub lic here by Catholic Relief Services — National Catholic Welfare Con ference, the U.

Public School Head Tells Of 'Shared Time' Classes EVANSTON, 111. — (NC) — The head of Evanston’s school district No. 65 said he has had a “shared time” education plan with Catholic schools for 35 years. Dr. Oscar Chute’s report was made in a comment on the shared time proposal put forward by edu cators in recent weeks. It would in volve splitting a pupil’s school day between public and church-related schools. Chute said classroom space in Skiles Junior High School has regularly been given pupils of the seventh and eighth grades of As cension Catholic Schools. The girls study home economics and the boys have mechanical drawing class and wood and metal shop. “We had pupils from two -other Catholic schools, St. Athanasius and St. Nicholas, but they with drew,” Chute explained.- Those pupils had used facilities of Raven and Nichols Junior High Schools. Under the present program, 90 parochial pupils attend classes from 12:25 to 1:40 p.m. each Wed nesday. They are taught by public school teachers. “The high cost of furnishing classrooms for home economics and shop work, which have limited uses, is almost prohibitive for pri vate schools. Thus the parochial schools and this school district worked out an amicable program,” said Chute. The district receives $45 a year from the state for each public school pupil and gets an additional five cents for each parochial pupil, he said. This figure for the Cath Prelate's Enthronement Scheduled ATLANTA, Ga. —(NC)— The Most Rev. Paul J.

Chute said the school district would be willing to cooperate with any parochial schools in Evanston to facilitate their educational pro grams. Evanston Township High School does not have such a program, a high school spokesman said. BISHOP’S RESIDENCE 600 Bilyeu Street Raleigh, North Carolina March 5, 1962 God has blessed us in this diocese with a number of parish ioners of the Indian and Negro races. Because of their need for our love and their need to become full sharing members in this great republic, this makes them the special object of our love and charity. When Our Lord was on earth, He favored in his miracles and love those who were most needy. We can imagine where He would be today in our parishes if He again walked the face of the earth. But He does walk the face of the earth by the members of His Mystical Body, His Church, and it is through your love and kindness that He wishes to right every wrong, fulfill all justice, and abound in charity to those who need most His help. There might be a need on our part to recognize the quality of souls and persons before God. It might mean the paying of equal wages for equal work done. It might mean the giving of an opportunity for a decent living, or the right to live in a decent neighborhood, or the equal opportunity for education and culture as fundamental rights of justice, as well as acknowledg ment of basic human rights. Our Catholic people have an inner sense of the appreciation of these basic facts taught by the Church of God, even in spite of occasional exceptions caused by the lack of proper training in a Christian spirit; the impact of tradition or custom, or the temptations of the evil spirit to injustice and hatred. We have been proud of our wonderful record in North Caro lina and of the progress toward full justice and charity in our schools, in our hospitals, in our societies, and above all, in our attitudes toward God’s needy for the love of our Christian brethren. Do help your Church to lead the world back to Christ by your example — by the proper attitude toward God’s wonderful creation, the Human Person. By your generous con tribution to the collection which will be taken up in all the churches on the 2nd Sunday of Lent, help your Pastor and your Bishop bring the Faith to thousands of Indians and Negroes living in our midst. They are total members of the Mystical Body, full Americans and thorough North Carolinians. May the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, being built this year for the Cherokee Indians, and other work that is constantly going on in many parishes for our good colored people, be your inspiration for generosity to this collection. Sincerely yours in Christ, My dear Brethren: Bishop of Raleigh
