some good and some bad, would
fall by the wayside simply for
lack of time to give them proper
attention. After you work for II
hours a day on assorted legisla-
ton, your mind reaches a point
where it cannot absorb or produce
anything worthwhile.
The governors budget, despite
the increase over last years fig
ures, was what is known as a
tight" budget The reviewing
committees found very little in
the way of padding or fiat" that
could be taken out - a condition
which was in sharp contrast to
the budget of the previous year.
We found many cases where
the budget makers had needed the
warnings and reductions made
by the legislature in 1855 and
did not attempt to renew re.
quests for fanciful increases and
unnecessary programs.
In fact, the only battles that
had to wage in the committee
last week were to keep good
items in the budget from being
meat-axed.
One of these was the addition

the support of junior colleges,
bringing the total State contrib
ution to $3.50 per pupil, which is
about equal to the contributions
made by the county and by the
students themselves. | will con.

cious log-rolling to get the junior
college item approved by a maj
ority of the members of the Joint
subcommittee on the budget.
Another such matter was the
budget item to increase the al
lowance to nursing home opera
tors for welfare cases from $50
to $130 per month. This produc-
ed quite brawl, with many mem
bers wanting to hold the increase
to $110. 1t finally ended up in a
compromise at S120.
The capital budget, unlike the
operating budget, can be amend
ed upwards by the legislature;
we are permitted under the con.
stitution to insert items that were
not in the governors original yer.

ther John E. Kinchla, director of
the Boston Archdiocesan Family
Life Bureau, planned the conven-
ton.
Married life cannot be lived
successfully according to plan
fashioned by the married persons
themselves That's what Father
Garrett F. Barry, OMI., of Wash
ington, DC, told the delegates.
He explained God has His own
plan for marriage. That plan
must. be faithfully traced within
each marriage if success and holi-
ness are to be achieved. 1t is
truism in Catholic thought that
il takes three TO make a mar
riage."
And Father Barry had some
thing TO say about working moth
ers: "Fulfillment of the task of
the faithful wife, homemaker and
mother is a job which demands
full.time activity on the part of
the woman. Ordinarily speaking,
it is not right for wife and
mother to engage in activity
which will keep her from the
home and her primary duties
therein. First things must come
first"
A shortcoming on the part of
parents was pointed up by Father
Daniel Egan. S.A, who for 10
years has been conducting high
school retreats and teen-age mis-
sions. He said: In giving my con-
ferences / always try to stand as
close as | can to the kids to
study their reactions as / talk.
Believe me, more and more to-
day / am shocked, disturbed and
frightened at the sneering, cyni-
cal smiles of far too many of to-
days adolescents whenever ] be-
gin to speak of happiness and
sanctity in the marriage state"
He deduced there are far too
many parents failing to fill their
roles in sanctification of the
home.

for divorce. He said to a large
extent man has abandoned his
position as head of the family be-
cause he is helped By his working
wife. She takes over active di-
rection of the family and raising
the children, who are deprived
of parental discipline. In such a
situation, he added. the woman
becomes dominant and her need
for dependency and passivity are
frustrated.
A somewhat startling situation
was disclosed by Brother Gerald
j Schnepp, S.M., of st. Mary's
University, San Antonio, Tex. He
disclosed that some $4,000 high
school children were asked to list
complaints against their parents
He said In the upper 20 per
cents, these three complaints were
predominant: /. Inability to dis
cuss personal problems with
parents: 2. Failure Of parents tC
accept them as responsible per
sons, and 3. Refusal of parents tc
discuss sex"
Alexander A. Schneiders. psy
chology professor at Fordham
said that the six major obstacles
to a happy marriage have beer
summed up as follows ] the sex
block; 2. stereotyped concept oi
the other sex; 3. refusal to share
failures; a. religious differences
5. attachment to mother, and s.
refusal to share life.
This was just a sampling oi
what went on at the various ses
sions. OF course there were doz
ems and dozens of other speakers

lawyers, teachers. Problems rang
ing from alcoholism to youth
