Earl Heffner’s decision to return to North Carolina was something I can understand. When you are in North Carolina you appreciate it; when you are away you appreciate it even more. I understand North Carolina’s spring has included some cold weather but it has been nothing compared to what spring has been like in the north. Right now in Indiana spring has pro gressed to where it was two months ago in North Carolina. When we told Bishop Waters we were returning north, he said that maybe we’d return to North Carolina some day. We believe that. We believe it so much we made a decision. We decided we weren’t going to sell our home in Asheville. We love the mountains, the climate, the people. The tar on our heels is indelible, so we decided we just wouldn’t sell our house, then we’d have a place to come back to when the day came for our return. We’ll rent it in the meantime and it will be waiting for us. If the scenery and the climate in N6rth Carolina are assets, what is even a greater asset is the people. Of course, many of them come from the north but there is something about North Carolina that makes everyone friendly. A fellow I knew in Charlotte had come there from one of the big cities in the east. He said up there he never spoke to anyone, down in Char lotte he spoke to everyone. And speaking of good neighbors reminds me to tell the people of either Greensboro or Winston-Salem that they are going to be fortunate, one of them that is. When we moved into pur home in Asheville, the neighbors came immediately to welcome us. The family next door said they knew how tired we’d be from unpacking and invited us over for dinner that night. They were Neal and Antoinette Horan, and they became our friends and their children, Jackie and Mary Catherine, among our most frequent visitors. Well, Neal’s company has transferred him. He’ll live either in Greensboro or Winston-Salem. Last time I heard he hadn’t chosen which. But keep on the alert for new neighbors in those two cities and when you hear the Horans are arriving give them a real welcome. You’ll be getting good neighbors. That People’s Page that we’ve started in the natiional mag azine section of this newspaper has given us problems. When I proposed it I thought we’d get enough contributions to keep it going but just to be sure I started collecting some short manuscripts, just to use in case the people didn’t write. The problem has turned out not to be how to get enough manuscripts but what to do with the manuscripts we ve received. Counting the essays that accompanied the survey, we now have received more than 1,700 articles from readers. And they are excellent. Some are written by people who obviously have had little formal education but even if they do not spell their words correctly, even if their grammar is faulty, the thought is often beautiful. What we’ve tapped is a vein of goodness. There are letters from husbands praising wives, wives praising husbands, children praising parents, parents praising children. In a day when so much that appears in the Catholic Press 1S critical and carping, we have found people who like people. We have found people who love the Church. We’ve found people who want to say something good about other people. What can we do about all of these articles? I really dont know. We can’t publish more than a dozen a week and they are coming in a a rate of many times that number every day. I’ve been thinking that maybe there could be a new Publi cation, maybe it could be called the People’s Paper. It could be written entirely by the people. But Ive not talked to anyone about this yet. T ■ -u All I know is we have a thousand and more articles I wis we could publish, a thousand and more articles that deserve be ing published, and no place to publish them.

Father Untener said the pastors felt they would damage the con cept of the pastor-assistant rela tionship if they did the evaluating. “This would make the pastor a superior rather than a co-worker,” Father Untener explained. But he said the pastors “felt it is good for us to understand tal ent, aptitudes and abilities.” He said the questionnaire was a “rough draft” and was designed to learn individual abilities with an eye to future assignments. The form covered such areas as a priest’s relationship with other priests, teaching and administra tive abilities, and his ability to get along with other persons in var ious socioeconomic groups. Father Untener conceded, that the questionnaire could contribute to a paternalistic relationship be tween pastors and assistants, lead ing to a situation where assistants would feel they were being con tinually watched. He said the chancery has not yet decided how to continue the evaluation. Some priests, he said, suggested personal interviews or self-evaluations as possible alter natives. „ High Point Guild Holds Candlelight Newcomers Tea The members of St. Edward’s Guild of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in High Point sponsored a Candlelight Tea for all newcomers to the parish on May 12th, in the parish hall between the hours of 4 and 5:30 in the afternoon.
