Only If Some Changes are Made
Washington — (NC) — Citizens
for Educational Freedom told Con
gress the Johnson Administration’s
did to education bill leaves much
to be desired, but it will support

made.
Stuart D. Hubbell, president of

treatment of all school children
by government, testified (Feb. 1)
before the House General Sub

Subscribe Today to The
North Carolina Catholic
Raleigh—The 1965 drive for re
newals and subscriptions to THE
NORTH CAROLINA CATHOLIC
culminates this Sunday, as the
newspaper begins its nineteenth
full year of publication.
The official newspaper of the
Diocese of Raleigh reaches some
six thousand homes each week,
“thus lending encouragement to
all of us, as we read of the good
works performed by priests, broth
ers, sisters and laity in other parts
of the Diocese.”
IN HIS LETTER urging that
the paper’s circulation be extend
ed to reach all ten thousand
homes in the Diocese, Bishop Wat
ers emphasized the importance of
the Sunday Visitor complement,
which provides excellent docu
mentation as well as special fea
tures for young and old alike.
Founded in 1946, THE NORTH
CAROLINA CATHOLIC has re
ceived first prize in all the major
categories of the competition
sponsored annually by the Cath
olic Press Association: best front
page, best news story, and best
editorial. In the year ahead the
newspaper will benefit from the
contributions of the six associate
editors recently appointed to its
staff by Bishop Waters.
OUTSTANDING in support giv
en to the diocesan weekly are the
following twelve churches, in
which every family subscribes:
Annunciation, Albermarle; St.
Joseph, Burgaw; St. Catherine,
Elizabeth City; St. Francis, Frank
lin; Holy Redeemer, Kill Devil

after the G. I. Bill of Rights. Such
a bill, he said, would give a flat
Federal grant to each school child
or his parent to be used at the
school of their choice.
But he said CEF will support
the Johnson bill “as a bona fide
effort in the right direction” if
provisions are written into the
measure stipulating that there be
participation in local planning by
non-public school authorities.
THE PRESIDENT’S proposal is
to spend $1 billion to aid under
privileged children. The money
would go to public school districts.
Children in non-public schools
would be included through exten
sion of shared services or dual en
rollment programs.
In addition, thd' bill proposes
$100 million to establish a net

New Books Will Provide
Further Changes in Mass
VATICAN CITY — (NC) —
New standard liturgical books soon
to be published provide for the
first part of the Mass, the Liturgy
of the Word, to be celebrated at
the lectern or pulpit instead of at
the altar.
With this provision, the priest
would preside from his chair, and
not ascend to the altar until the
Offertory, beginning the Liturgy
of the Eucharist. The new Mass
books also will direct that the
missal remain in one spot on the
altar from the Offertory until the
end of Mass — being placed to the
left of the celebrant and kept
there, instead of being moved from
right to left and back.
BISHOP'S RESIDENCE
600 Bilyeu Street
Raleigh, North Carolina
January 25, 1965
My dear Brethren:
In this era of progress and change, it is impossible
to keep duly informed of the developments in the Church
through newspaper bulletins and television reports. The
alert Catholic will want to have at hand the complete texts
of the Holy Father’s pronouncements and the decrees of
the Council.
Such documentation is available to all of us in the
Sunday Visitor supplement of our diocesan newspaper. For
example, in the year just gone by, Our Sunday Visitor
provided the full texts of Pope Paul’s first encyclical and
the Declaration of the American Hierarchy on Liturgical
Renewal.
Our own NORTH CAROLINA CATHOLIC minors
the life of the universal church, and, in particular, the We
of the Diocese of Raleigh, thus lending encfcmrageimfent
to all of us, as we read of the good works performed by
priests, brothers, sisters, and laity in other parts of the
State.
I have recently added to the newspaper staff six priests
who will serve as associate editors and thus help us give
greater variety to the news accounts and editorial com
mentary.
It is my earnest wish that the head of every family
will bring the good influence of this Catholic weekly into
his home by subscribing to THE NORTH CAROLINA
CATHOLIC on Sunday, February 7th.
With sincere appreciation for the support which the
priests and laity have given to our diocesan newspaper
in the past, and with the hope that its circulation will show
a significant increase in 1965, I remain
Gratefully yours in Christ,
L
Bishop of Raleigh

tion during the Creed, except at
Christmas and the feast of the An

at the words, “. . . and was made
man,” the priest and congregation
will bow.
These new changes were re
vealed here in an article in L’Os
servatore Romano (Jan. 28) by
Father Annibale Bugnini, C.M.,
secretary of the postconciliar lit
urgy commission and newly ap
pointed undersecrtary for liturgy
of the Congregation of Rites.
Father Bugnini disclosed infor
mation concerning new editions of
several liturgical books which are
to be published imminently by the
Vatican Polyglot Press. Among
them is one intended to provide
guidelines for national bishops’
conferences for the general frame
work of the common prayer or
prayer of the faithful. This litany
type prayer is to come into gener
al use immediately before the Of
fertory with the changes of March
7, the first Sunday of Lent.
Father Bugnini said that the
first of the revised books to be
issued will be the Ordo Missae, the
section of the missal comprising
the Ordinary and Canon of the
Mass.

this volume “have changed noth

ed: “The tone has changed but the
melody remains as before, as al

than mind, to harmonize the rite
with the wise and precise norms
laid down by the council’s docu

Liturgy).”
FATHER BUGNINI recalled the
provisions of the Holy See’s litur
gical instruction of last Sept. 26,
to go into effect on March 7,
which will require that some Mass
prayers hitherto recited in a low
voice will be sung or recited aloud.
Among those are the secret prayer
