Clean House Viet Government
Saigon — Lt. Gen. Nguyen van Thieu, presi
dent-elect, declared at the inauguration of the
Vietnamese Senate that the new government must
eradicate corruption and reform administrative
machinery.
“The most urgent efforts in the first months
of the future government” will be devoted to these
tasks, he said.
Corruption, recognized as one of the greatest
internal weaknesses of recent years in Vietnam,
must be eradicated “at all levels, from the central
to the regional, in the army as well as in the ad
ministration, in a complete, though just, impartial
and clear manner,” the president-elect said.
Restoration of peace is another of the “most
urgent problems,” he emphasized.
Bishop Splits With Fr. De Pauw
Caledonia, N.Y. — (NC) — Bishop Blaize
Kurz, O.F.M., exile of Yungchow, China, and the
acknowledged “patron” of Father Gommar De
Pauw’s Catholic Traditionalist Movement, has de
nied any responsibility for Father DePauw’s recent
ultimatum to Pope Paul VI.
In a letter to conservative writer Hugo Maria
Kellner, the bishop also said “I don’t agree with
the letter in most of the points. I didn’t know
about the proposing me as the leader of the Roman
Latin Church.”
Canadians Issue U.S. Draff Dodgers
Toronto, Ont. — The U.S. draft dodger issue
has started a religious controversy among leaders
of the United Church of Canada, this country’s
largest single Protestant denomination of some
two million members.
Several Protestant and Catholic clergymen al
ready had shown sympathy toward U.S. draft dodg
ers who crossed the border to escape military
service.
The number of draft dodgers in Canada is
difficult to estimate, but has been placed at be
tween 300 and 1,000.
OSV Raises Price
Huntington, Ind. — (NC) — Our Sunday
Visitor will increase its single-copy newsstand price
from five cents to ten cents, effective with the
Nov. 5 issue.
Writing in the Oct. 22 issue, Msgr. Vincent
A. Yzermans, editor, said that “production and
editorial costs have forced us to increase the price
of Our Sunday Visitor.” The annual subscription
rate, he said, would be increased from $4 to $5.
Oil Contract Cancelled
Detroit — The Detroit archdiocese has can
celed a $150,000 heating oil contract because the
supplier has refused to comply with standards
set by Project Equality.
Project Equality is a state-wide, interreligious
program under which Michigan’s Catholic dioceses
— and a number of Protestant churches and Jew
ish synagogues — agree to deal only with suppliers
who live up to equal employment standards.
Project Equality also operates in 10 other areas
of the country.
Lay Teachers Top Religious
Cincinnati — (NC) — Lay teachers outnum
ber Religious in the elementary schools of the
Cincinnati archdiocese for the first time.
The superintendent of schools reported that
of the 2,044 fulltime elementary teachers, 1,004
are Religious and 1,040 are lay teachers.
In the high schools, he said there are 629
priests, Sisters, and Brothers, and 465 lay teachers.
Paulist Choir Disbands
Chicago — (NC) — The world famous Paulist
Choir, 70 voice male choral group, has dissolved
as an indirect result of changes in the Church.
Father James F. Cunningham, pastor of Old
St. Mary’s Church here, announced the decision.
He said that the choir had been trained to sing
in Latin and had only one English Mass in its
repertoire.
He also said that the idea of the choir seems
incompatible with that of participation in the Mass
by the entire congregation. When the choir sings
a Mass, he explained, the congregation merely
listens.
By having a Latin Mass on alternate Sundays,
Father Cunningham said: “I feel we were not
acting in accord with the mind of the Church,
which is to have a Mass participated in by the
congregation. We were having a concert Mass.”
Urge Constitutional Church
New York — A symposium of 32 Catholic
and Protestant scholars here recommended the
Catholic Church move in the direction of a con
stitutional approach to Church government.
Without endorsing either the idea of a con
stitutional convention or a written constitution, the
symposium sponsored by the Canon Law Society of
America and Fordham University called for great
er participation at all levels of government by all
members of the Church, laity as well as clergy.
Symposium participants agreed that “certain
recognized principles of constitutionalism might
be employed in the Church, at least analogically.”
They specifically called for: a division of power
between central and regional governing bodies;
the separation of legislative, executive and judicial
functions; guarantees of individual rights, includ
ing due process and equal protection of the laws.

Albemarle Progress
Parish Hall Dedication Marks
Historical Origin, Development
ALBEMARLE — Expressing his approval and pleasure of the new
parish educational and social center here, Bishop Vincent S. Waters
also reviewed plans for the construction of a larger, air-conditioned
church on the present site for sometime in the future. The Bishop
dedicated the new Annunciation parish hall after he had offered Mass
in the church.
Reverend John Huston, Chap
lain to the Catholic students at
the University of Chapel Hill,
highlighted the laymens participa
tion in the mission of the church
as outlined by the recent council.
The Bishop congratulated Father
Anthony Kovacic, pastor, and the
Reverend James A. Cowan, pastor
emeritus, upon the success of
their efforts and encouraged the
congregation to continue their co
operation.
The parish has had a notable
growth in membership in recent
years due to the coming of manu
facturing plants to the area. The
first known Catholics in the com
munity were the J. E. Ewing fam
ily who came from Richmond in
1897. In the late 1920’s they were
visited by the late Father Edward
L. Gross of Hamlet.
Founded 1934
On July 1, 1934 Bishop William
J. Hafey appointed Father James
A. Cowan as the pastor of the
newly established parish of Our
Lady of Annunciation here. The
same year property was purchased
on which was a large frame dwell
ing, used as a rectory until 1941.
During the summer of 1934 the
present church was built. At this,
time there were nine Catholic
families in the area, six here, one
in Badin, one in Troy and one in
Wadesboro. By 1949 membership
had grown to 35 families. At
present the parish census reveals
86 families and 45 students at
Liturgy Reform Cited,
Hits Negative Action
WASHINGTON — The nation
al Liturgical Conference, a 7,000
member organization devoted to
the liturgical apostolate of the
Catholic Church, made public a
statement sent to the nation’s
bishops and praising liturgical
reforms and experimentation.
The statement criticized those
who have not accepted or coop
erated with changes made in
Catholic worship since the Sec
ond Vatican Council. “It is not
too harsh to remark that some
pastors, though consistently con
tradicted in their attitudes by
official Church action over the
past five years, have still not
learned the lesson of change,”
the statement added. “Their at
titudes seldom if ever come un
der censure, while their people
pay the price of their recalci
trant behavior.”
This situation was contrasted,
the statement said, to the fact
that those who follow the
Church’s reforms often are cen
sured by Church officials.
tending nearby Pfeiffer College.
Because of the large attendance
a third Mass is now offered each
Sunday at 11 a.m., said Father
Kovacic.
