envoke sentiments of Joy at this time.
The Church wants us TO remain IN
mourning until the new light of the
Risen Christ bursts forth at Easter.
Passiontide also recalls the ancient
practice of receiving Baptism, Conflrma-
ton and Holy Communion during this
season and the fact that penitents were
reconciled through sacramento absolu-
ton. II is for us to enter into a similar
spirit by remembering our Baptlsmal
innocence and the glorious moment Of
First Communion.

Spr1ngtime often brings threatening
clouds TO warn us that storms are near.
A similar phenomenon is observed IN
the third year of Christ's ministry as
told in the liturgy of Passion Time.

lent scene when Our Lord claims divin-
ity and the crowd takes up stones to

The Church, as the Mystical Body of
Christ, reminds us in the liturgy of Pas
siontide that tempeSt-charged clouds are
in sight. The images in church are
covered with dark wells to remind us
of His hidden days and TO bring us back
TO the time when a curtain separated

from any share in federal benefits.
The situation, indeed, is even more unfair and
nonsensical than thai.
Congress proposes that children in religious

states Sabotage population, upon which the amount
of aid would be based.
But the neediest school districts, by and large,
are in states which have comparatively few Catholics.
BY CONTRAST, there are rich states where half
or more of the school population is in Catholic
schools or other Independent schools.
The formula for apportioning federal aid there
fore becomes preposterous.
Children in Catholic schools In wealthy states
would be counted in determining the amount of aid
but all the aid would go to children in public
schools.
Therefore the children in wealthy states, who
least need the aid, would get more of ii, proportion
ately than children who most need it.
The inequality of educational opportunity would
be intensified, rather than ameliorated which Is
the precise contrary of what ought to be done.

as long as the need persisted.
The aid could then be discontinued when the
need ended.
Instead of doing that, Congress proposes to grant
funds to all states-including those which are entire
" capable of solving their own educational problems.
This is a self-perpetuating arrangement; the
grants would tend to 60 on and on, and to grow
larger and larger.
WHAT IS WORSE, grants would be based upon
the Sabotage population Of each state.
Thus rich and populous states would benefit,
proportionately, more than states which need help

Federal aid to education may or may not be nee
essary But even if it is necessary, Congress is 60
ing about it the wrong way.
ONLY NJ ARGUMENT in favor of such aid
seems to me to carry much weight 1t is this:
Here is a child growing up in a Wellto-do school
district which is able to provide the best in education
Here is another child, living in a poor school
district, who must go to an inferior school.
BOTH children are assets to America.
Both are future citizens.
Both ought to have every reasonable opportunity
to develop to fullest capacity.
Therefore something ought to be done to give
the child in the poorer district an educational OPP
portunity more like that Of the child in the richer
district.
THIS IS AN eminently worthwhile objective. II
1t cannot be attained without bringing the federal
government into the picture, then there is something
to be said for federal aid.
Unfortunately, the congressional approach to the
problem has been indirect, wasteful and Inefficient
It is hardly too much to say that it is self-defeating

federal aid only TO needy school districts, and only

In the context of his allu-

education. 1T is only a short
step" he says. "from here to
the point at which the Chris
tlan way of life is condemned
and outIsWed as a deviation
from the standard patterns Of
social behavior"

Recently there has been

about the appropriateness
of the eagle as our nation
al symbol. The opposition
maintains that a bird Of prey
is scarcely a fitting symbol
for the United States. espe
cially in view OF the fact that
the eagle for centuries has
been associated with imperial
ism and monarchy.
A few cynics, however, have
suggested that instead OF a
rapacious bird OF prey. the
Almighty Dollar would be a
proper symbol.
AT FIRST GLANCE, the
dollar does seem a fitting
symbol of the corruption in
America. We are still in the
throes Of a Congressional in
vestigatlon that has been 90

which has uncovered some
very sordid financial skull
duggery. We learned about

charges against government
