'Total Catholic Education
Reaffirmed For Canadians
Montreal, Que. — (NC) — The principle of total Catholic edu
cation was reaffirmed by the bishops of Quebec in a joint statement
on educational reform in the province, issued on the occasion of
Education Week. The Christian spirit, they said, must “permeate the
whole life of the school.”
The bishops, however, repeated statements made in 1963, that a

with religious education side by
side with the teaching of profane
subjects, or periods set aside for
prayer and worship . .. the Chris
tian spirit must permeate the
philosophy of education which an
imates a school, its organization
^ and its pedagogical principles.”
The bishops noted suggestions
that schools “be responsible for
instruction in the different fields
of learning,” while responsibility
for education in religious and
other values be assumed by par
ents.
But teaching, the bishops said,
“cannot be” separated from total
education because “teaching and
education are closely linked one
to the other and because basic
values are often contained in the
subject matter being taught.”
A school which “thus refused
to inculcate basic values would
lose its spiritual force and its
ability to imbue an interest in hu
man values,” and would “be de
prived of its soul,” they said.
Concerned for the problems of
the modern world should make
^parents and educators “truly
aw*»re of the need to assume their
Christian responsibilities more
fully and more conscientiously,”
the bishops also stated.
The first duty of educators,
they asserted, is to “make an ef
fort to understand the new world
and particularly the new adoles
cent psychology. With better
knowledge of the young and
especially their “veiled and often

Los Angeles Nuns
Appeal Ruling Of
Rome Congregation
Los Angeles — The Immacu
late Heart of Mary nuns will pe
tition Pope Paul VI for permis
sion to continue experiments ap
proved by their general chapter
last summer and forbidden in a
communication from the Vatican
Congregation for Religious last
month.
The experiments, as well as
chapter approved changes in the
nuns’ educational programs, have
been the source of dispute be
tween the Religious order and
Cardinal McIntyre of Los An
geles.
The communication of the Vat
ican Congregation was received
by the nuns on Feb. 21 and made
public simultaneously with a
meeting at their motherhouse at
which they agreed to appeal to
the Pope.
The Congregation’s ruling or
dered the nuns to return from
lay clothes to a “uniform habit”;
reinstitute common Religous ex
ercises in their community; keep
educational work as their prime
purpose, and collaborate with
the bishops in the dioceses they
serve.
At the meeting of some 500
members of the order at which
the appeal to the Pope was an
nounced, Sister Anita Caspary,
mother general, denied rumors
that the Congregation’s action
would result in her resignation.

US Senate Approves
Civil Rights Bill
Washington — (NC)’ — The
Senate approved (March 8) a civ
il rights bill with open housing
clauses that will remove racial
bans in about 80% of the United
States’ housing.
The formal passage of the bill
is scheduled for March 11.
The original bill has been
amended according to a com
promise, but is far stronger than
many supporters thought pos
sible. The bill has been pending
in the Senate since Jan. 15, and
has survived efforts to kill it
through a filibuster.
Final vote on the approval was
61 to 19, with 16 Democrats and
three Republicans opposing it.
The bill provides:
—Open housing provisions
which will remove racial bar
riers in three stages in about 52.6
million housing units, including
single family dwellings.
—That it shall be a federal
crime to travel from one state to
another or to use radio, televi
sion or other interstate facilities
with intent to incite a riot; it
also makes it a federal crime to
manufacture of demonstrate the
use of firearms, firebombs or
other explosive devices meant
for use in a riot or civil disor
der;
—Stiff federal penalties for
persons convicted of intimidat
ing or injuring civil rights
workers and Negroes in such
areas as schooling, housing, vot
ing, registering to vote, jury
duty and using public facilities;
—Creation of a bill of rights
for the American Indian.
Senate passage came after the
defeat of several amendments
aimed at narrowing the bill’s
scope. Most of the debate on the
measure has been over open
housing provisions. The original
bill would have eliminated racial
barriers in about 97% of the na
tion’s housing units.

Roundup
EM By Dmm A. Russall
State Public Relations Chairman
NEW BERN, WILMINGTON AND JACKSONVILLE, IN THE
ORDER NAMED, WERE THE THREE WINNERS of awards at the
annual KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BOWLING TOURNAMENT held
Sunday, Mar. 10 at the Boulevard Lanes in Goldsboro. Thus, for the
first time in tournament history, three teams representing Eastern
Carolina Councils within a radius of 90 miles of each other, won
six of the eight trophies picked up.
Individual winners of trophies were A. GIDDENS, NEW BERN,
with top score of 255, JOHN ORGAN of WILMINGTON, second with
a score of 220, and DUANE PAJAK, of Goldsboro, with the low score
of 93, won the Booby Prize. Council teams participating, in addition
to the winners, were Durham, Raleigh, Goldsboro, Fayetteville, High
Point, Charlotte, and Wilson. Asheville, Greensboro, Rocky Mount
and Winston Salem were not entered.
Goldsboro Council 5487 did itself proud as hosts to the visitors
which included several of the Knights’ ladies and members of their
families. Although the weather was inclement, this did not dampen
the spirit of the contestants, nor the pleasure the ladies had on a
bus tour around the Seymore Johnson Air Base. Bill Underkofler,
Grand Knight of the host Council was the busiest man around
throughout the afternoon and evening. An outstanding dinner was
awaiting the visitors at Wilburs Barbecue Restaurant at the conclu
sion of the tournament. State Deputy GEORGE E. LUND, JR., and
PSD MATTHEW ‘RED’ BIRD were also on hand. Brothers JAMES
MCCARTY, JOE HANSCHAN and KASHIMER KACOLA, of Golds
boro Council did a fine job at the registration desk and as' official
desk and as official scorers. Congratulations to the winners and to
Council 5487 for an outstanding tournament!
