Pope Recalls Issuance
Of Famed Encyclical
VATICAN CITY — (NC) — In
the presence of 15,000 workers
from 35 nations, Pope Paul VI
commemorated the 75th anniver
sary of the first of the famous so
cial encyclicals, Rerum Novarum.
The celebration in St. Peter’s
Basilica was highlighted May 22
by a Mass which the Pope concele
brated with prelates representing
five continents. His discourse cen
tered on the encyclical On the
Condition of the Working Man,
which his predecessor Pope Leo
XIII issued May 15, 1891.
The revolutionary encyclical be
came the foundation stone for the
Church’s social doctrine on which
future encyclicals built. These in
clude Quadragesimo Anno of
Pius XI, issued on the 40th anni
versary of Pope Leo’s document,
and Pope John XXIII’s Mater et
Magistra, issued in 1961. The
teaching is also reflected exten

sively in the Second Vatican Coun
cil’s pastoral Constitution on the
Church in the Modern World.
IN THE NAME of all Christian
laborers, five directors of the
newly organized World Movement
of Christian Workers (MMTC) ad
dressed messages of homage to
the Pope in Italian, French, Span
ish, German, and English. They
were intended as a response to
the Vatican council’s message to
the world’s workers which the
Pope consigned to a laborer from
Milan dressed in coveralls during
ceremonies closing the council
last Dec. 8.
During the Mass the Pope distri
buted Communion to 50 working
men from 50 different countries,
and later talked personally with
70 others and received gifts from
them.
The following day, the MMTC
began a seven-day constitutional
assembly in Rome. According to
an announcement by the Italian
Association of Christian Workers
(ACLI) distributed through chan
nels Of the Vatican Press Office,
this organization “is destined to
replace the International Federa
tion of Christian Worker Move
ments (FIMOC), which until now
operated almost exclusively in
Europe. The new organization will
instead have world-wide exten
sion.” ,
Delegates from 35 countries
were expected to attend, sent
from 45 “organizations of Chris
tian inspiration engaged in apos
tolic and social action among the
masses,” according to the ACLI
announcement.

Hymn Singing
To Be Studied
At 'Sing-Shops'
SPOKANE, Wash. — (NO) — A
sing-like-Protestants project is
being inaugurated here for Catho
lics of three dioceses — Spokane
and Yakima, Wash., and Boise, Ida
ho.
Pastors of some 60 parishes in
the three dioceses have arranged
four workshops for the Sundays
in June in the cathedral audito
rium here to better acquaint pa
rishioners with the new liturgi
al hymns and encourage congre
gational singing. Four organists
will be at each “sing-shop.”
Jean Anthony Greif, local or
ganist and composer of hymns,
observed: “We’ve been a silent
group for too many generations.
It’s time we caught up with our
separated brethren. We are chil
dren as far as singing in church
is concerned, and we must be
treated as children until we be
come accustomed to it.”
Greif will direct the “sing
shops” which also will feature dis
cussion periods concerning the
new type hymns. He said he has
traveled extensively throughout
the country “interviewing church
organists and choir directors in
an effort to ascertain what is
needed to make the new liturgy
meaningful—and workable.”

In Korea
Missioner 'Plows
Back' His Award
By Father Patrick J. Burke, S.S.C.
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
Seoul, Korea — A priest who
won an $1,850 award from the Ko^
rean government for helping to
build a better life for his farm
er-parishioners is plowing it back
into the same cause.
Columban Father Patrick J. Mc
Glinchey said, after being hon
ored by Korea’s President Park
Chunghee, that he would use the
prize money to start a building
fund for a clinic on Cheju island
where he is stationed.
“I already have a site for it,
and recently from the U.S. I got
some medical equipment and
drugs. But I need at least $50,000
to build the clinic, which is badly
needed in the area. I also am
promised a doctor and a nurse by
the Columban Sisters, if I can
ever build the clinic,” he said.
THE HONOR, given here to the
priest and seven others, is called
The Nation’s Award. The presenta
tion was held in the largest as
sembly hall in this country. Cabi
net members and diplomatic corps
representatives attended.
Starting with formation of 4-H
Clubs in 1957, Father McGlinchey
gradually built his program for
helping the farmers of Cheju is
land to help themselves. After he
founded the Isidore Development
Association at Hallim, a grain
grant from the U.S. Agency for
International Development fol
lowed.
IN 1963 AN agreement between
the Korean and U.S. governments
and Catholic Relief Services—Na
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence was signed that provided for
a grant of $2,500,000 worth of
feed grains over a five-year pe
riod.
Since the scheme started 17,500
acres of land have been clear*
and planted with grains, barlej
millet, corn, and sweet potato*!
Almost 500 people have been se
tied on these farms and are noi
engaged in productive farmin
and pig raising.'
THE TARGET is to clear 20,00
acres of land for grain prod®
tion. To help farmers in moderi
scientific farming methods a cen
tral farm was established, wher
they are given an intensive train
ing course in feed grain grown
and pig production. Using model
scientific farming methods, the I
idore Association hopes to breei
rear and condition for mark
20,000 pigs each year. It also wil
help the farmers sell their pigs.:
At present there are 8,000 pig
on the farms with the number
increasing by the month. Recent!
a young Irish veterinarian, an e
pert in pig production and real
ing, Joseph McElliggot, came t
Hallim to work with Father Mti
Glinchey and the Hallim farmer
for two years.
THERE ARE NOW 500 shee
on the farms whose wool is use
in the Hallim weaving plant. “Ha
lim tweed” is now famous in &
rea and is much in demand by fib
well-dressed young man and won
an in Korea. The Columban Sister
experts in hand weaving, whid
they learned in Ireland, have
charge of the plant.
Under the Colombo plan the
New Zealand government sent a
grass expert to help Korean farm
ers grow a better quality gras*
He is George Holmes, who hai
been in Hallim for three month*
working exclusively for the IDA,
which pays his living expenses it
Korea. He arranged with a grouj
in Australia for the importing oi
1,500 sheep for the project in A»
gust this year.
