.Prelate Says
Family Unit
Needs Religion

NEW YORK - (NC) - Religion
is essential to the prevention of
family breakdown, Father Edward
D. Head, associate director of Fam
lily Service of New York Catholic
Charities, declared at the annual
conference of the Health and Wei
fare Council of New York City.
Father Head spoke during a pan
ell discussion of the Division of
Families and Adults at the confer
ence.
Pointing out that religion is the
bond between God and man and
between man and his fellowman,
Father Head said that this bond is
essential to the permanence, sta
bility and protection which chill
dren must have to survive and nor
mally develop to full maturity.
He added: The strength that
a man and his family needed in the
year One is the same strength he
needs today. He gets that strength
basically from his religion. Mar
riage after the brief romantic peri
cd is an experience of daily ad-

for these painful adjustments" he
concluded, they will not be done.
The good reason, the only satisfac-
tory sustaining reason, is to accept
a moral code that has a divine
sanction.~

Church Strengthened In China
Despite Persecution By Reds
Trappist Abbot
Saws Communists
Are Bewildered

The persecution of the Cath

the Faith in Communist China,
Dom Paulinus LII, Trappist alb

The abbot, who heads a
monastery on the British-oWn-

ed that the growth of the
Church in China has bewilder-
ed the Reds. He maintained:
"The Church is in a wonderful
position. Before the Communist
persecution. it was almost unknown
in China. Today it inspires the ad-
miration of people all over China,
thanks to the publicity given it bs
the Communists themselves.
Dom Paulinus, who is convinced
that the Chinese Communist regime
will fall because of its Goddess
philosophy, has been in the United

Asks Minimum
Wage Lalus
For Women

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - (NC)
"A State minimum wage law for
women was urged by Bishop Fran
els J. Haas of Grand Rapids in an
address to Catholic women.
Recalling that women constitute
almost one-third of the labor force
in the US, the Bishop stated:
I'VE should exert all legitimate
pressure on our State legislature to
enact statute prohibiting an en-
ployer from paying a woman EN-
ployed in intrastate commerce less
than enough to live on"
He told diocesan convention of
the National Council of Catholic
Women that the question is not
only economic but lis shot through
with religious meaning"
Bishop Haas at the same time
pointed TO the danger of mothers
working and called on the women
to help those who are forced to
work outside their homes.
He also pointed to shortage of
religious vocations which threatens
expansion of Catholic schools and
urged mothers to make their
homes genuinely Catholic so that
children will be encouraged to ac-
cept religious vocations
81 trust that your convention
will send this message into the
hearts of more and more parents, +"
he said.
The Bishop called for continued
interest in world affairs and !, in
the workings of the UN
Nevertheless, reading up and
keeping up on UN and world
movements is not enough he said.
There should be prayer to Al
mighty God and to His Blessed
Mother for divine wisdom and di-
vine guidance"
Bishop Haas address opened
a one-day NCCW meeting attended
by 800 women of the Grand Rap
ids diocese.
