Priest finds Carthusians
really rUant to be alone

psychiatrist. Al the height of
his fame he went TO Spain
and joined the Carthusian
hermits in 1947. He returned
to the US. at the age of 70
with two postulants to estab-
lish a foundation. He offered
the first Carthusian Rite Mass
IN the United States on
Christmas Eve, 1850. He is
now retired to the charter
house in Spain.
SINCE THEIR arrival here,
there have been other Amer
ican-born Carthusians. One, a
priest, is now in a European
foundation. Brother Stephen
became the first American TO
make a permanent donation
(promise) in the order fol-
lowing his novitiate in Sus-
sex, England, between 1858
and last March. He will not
take final vows for six more
years.
The Carthusians never eat
meat. In Lent they take no
milk butter, eggs or cheese.
For nearly half the year they
eat two meals a day-dinner
at 10 am, and supper at 4:3O
pm. During the winter they
eat only one meal, at II am,

lation Of dry bread and the

none of the other eight Broth
ers and neither of the two
priests at the monastery. They
waved in a friendly manner
from a distance, but obvious
ly preferred to be left in
solitude.
THE HERMITS here have
a simple but dignified chapel,
the scene of daily communal
activity. (And "beastly hot in
this kind of weather" ac-
cording to Brother Stephen).
There they assist at the COM
munity Mass and prayer ex-
ercises. Individual hermitages
for priests are furnished with
affairs, where their private
masses are offered.
Brother Stephen showed me
his cell-his hard bed, the
little shelf on which he eats
alone, the draped offset where
his work clothes and other
personal items are kept, and
the desk with his few spirit
ual books.
The monastery stands on a
10,000-acre tract of trees, hills
and more trees. From the top
of Mount Equinox, which is
part of the property, mountain
peaks are seen in every direc-
ton - in nearby New York,
Massachusetts and far off
New Hampshire. One problem
facing the CarthuSians' future
in Arlington could we'll be
whether they want so much
property.

gate was cleared up when |

The Carthusians came here
from Spain. Dom Thomas Yer

Punched cards and electronic analysis
machines will speed councils task

Voting will be done by bal
lot, using perforated cards.
The cards are part of the So
called Interchangeable" sys-
tenn which is used by many
companies for billing. The
perforationS will serve for
quick asserting and analysis
of ballots.
The ballots will be distribut-
ed to each place before a vote
is to be taken. Each card will
have a place for the name, the
number of the seat, and three
spaces for the three different
kinds of vote: "yes," mo" or
qualified"
Ballots will be collected by
hand by II pages, probably
seminarians especially assign
ed to that task. The ballots
will then be sorted and count
ed automatically at a rate of
5000 cards an hour.
1t is estimated that a vote
could be taken, the ballots col
lected and sorted, and the re-
suits known within 20 min
uteS.

10 feet of the basilica's front
doors.
The Council Hall is closed
on its two long sides by two
tiers of seats 10 rows high.
1t is closed by the throne of
Pope John XIII on the end
next to st. Peters tomb and
will be closed by a curtained
entrance on the end next to
the doors.
BESIDES TILE "." 100
tiers, which will provide seat
ing for $500 council ta..-s,
there are five other special
sectors. At the end of the tier
to the Pope's right there is the
special section for the cardi-
mails with seating provided for
80. Next to the cardinals in
their own special place is the
seating for nine patriarchs.
Eight galleries have been
constructed between the pilaS-
tiers of the basilica's central
nave, behind and above the
tiers of seats for the council
Fathers. These, with a seating
capacity of $50 will be the
places reserved for the theo-
logians of bishops, the official
representatives of bishops who
will be unable to attend, and
of other authorized observers.
Four tribunes, besides, have
been constructed at the four
corners of the main altar. The
Tribune of st. Andrew to the
right of the Pope'S throne will
be reserved for the special
legations of nations sent to
attend the solemnities of the
council. The Tribune of st.
Longinus will be reserved for
the members of the diplomatic
corps accredited to the Holy
See.
Those who are to report the
council to the world will &C.
cupy the tribuneS behind the
Pope's throne. The press
corps will occupy the Tribune
of st. Helena, behind the Pope
to his left. Radio and televi-
sion crews are to be given the
Tribune of st. Veronica, be-
hind the Pope on his right.
The seating for the council
Fathers has been arranged in
groups of six with an aisle
separating every six places.

seats there will be a micro

Then they have Mass, common

There is one break in the
rigorous daily schedule of
the Carthusians. One day each
week the heavy silence Is
broken, and the hermits have
a chance TO converse with one
another. The founder believ-
ed this respite essential to
the hermit's mental and emo
tional Well-being.

ARLINGTON, VT NC)
Americas first founda-
ton of Carthusian Her
mits is carrying on the
900-year tradition in the
spirit Of st. Bruno, its
founder.
IT WAS ESTABLISHED
near here II years ago, but is
not yet a permanent site. The
hermits, whose local superior
is Irish-born Father Stephen
Boylan o. Cart, are now oc-
cupying a remodeled barn
halfway up the famed Sky
Line Drive that scales 1900
foot Mount Equinox just west
of Arlington.
In time they will set up in
dividual h~ermitages that will
assume them a maximum
amount of solitude. At present
their cells are all under a
single roof. Whether or not
the permanent establishment
will be at Arlington has not
been determined.
Visitors are not welcome at
a Carthusian Monastery-but
that should not be held
against the hermits. When a
man abandons home, family,
friends, community, and every
semblance of communal life,
it should be no secret he is
not eager for companionship
of visitors from back home.
But provisions are made for
periodic visits from members
of his immediate family.
l set out from Boston to Wis
it. the monastery. Inquiries in
Boston produced only infor-
nation that the hermits were
located somewhere near Ar
lington, and vague directions
of how to get there.
AT HISTORIC Bennington,
first town in Vermont's noun
famous southwest corner, a
priest filled me in:
Then you tell the man at the
toll gate that you're going to
the monastery, and he'll let
you through" Why a toll gate
had to be passed en- route to
a remote CarthuSian monas-
terry was perplexing, but Of
fered no additional hurdle.
At the toll gate, | told the
gate-tender: I'm just going
to the monastery"
do they know you're COM
ing?" he asked.
Il wrote last week." | re-
piled.
Better come in and CALL"
he suggested.
1t was only 6:45 pm. ] was
totally unprepared to hear
from Father Boylan that the
hermits were getting ready
for bed, and would | come
back after Mass in the morl.-
ing.
The next morning | en-
countered still another hurdle
in the stranger than = fiction
obstacle course. The concrete
road is splendid, but the as
cent is so steep that it may
play havoc with an auto en-

the brakes were necessary on

phone down in front of the
tier for the convenience of
those bishops who will want
to rise and speak from their
places.
Below the Pope's throne
there is to be a long table
where the presidency of the
council will be seated. The
president, the secretary and
other elected officers of the
council will take their places
there.
A PULPIT will be at the
Pope's left for the use of those
who will address the council
formally and at length. Be-
yond this and just in front
OF the bronze statue of st.
Peter there will be an altar
upon which will rest a book
of the Scriptures during the
council.
The Pope's throne, the table
of the presidency, the pulpit
and the altar are all move
able. The throne, the table
and the pulpit will be remov-
ed during the solemn func-
tions when the Pope officiates
at the baSilica's main altar.
This will be done to provide a
clear view of the council Fa-
theirs and for those who may
be admitted on such occasions
into the transepts.
For the purposes of con-
venience and identity each
Father will be assigned a
numbered seat, which will be
his for the duration of the
council. If an individual uses
Independent transportation, he
will also be assigned a num-
bered place to park his car.

VATICAN CITY-(NC)
Punched card ballots,
electronic analysis ma
chimes and multipurpose
chairs like seats in COM
merciaI airliners will expedite
the work of the 21st and larg-
est ecumenical council in the
Church's history.
These devices are a few of
the many details worked out
by three groups now prepaT-
ing for the council. They are
a part of the physical and
regulatory side of the historic
assembly, the smooth running
machinery which must ac-
company the grave and COM
pick business awaiting the al
most 5000 council partlci-
pants.
TWO OF these groups, the
S~ubcommission for Regula-
tons and the Technical-Or-
ganizational Commission, are
parts of the Central Prepare
tory Commission. The third
is the Administrative Secre-
tariat.
Although the central com
mission officially terminated
its work on June 20 with the
last melting of its seventh plen-
airy session, the Subcommis-
sion for Regulations and the
Technical Organizational Com
mission will probably still be
at work when the bishops of
the world begin arriving in
Rome on the eve of the coun-
Gil.
The Administrative Secre-
tariat, too, has outlived the
other preparatory commits
Sions. It's work continues now
and will probably continue
during the actual council.
The work of all three bodies
Is known only in part. This is
partly because their work is
still in progress, and partly
because many of their deci-
Sions are reserved for the
council Fathers themselves.
The physical appearance of
the Second Vatican Council
will be chiefly the work of
the Technical o ganizational
Commission which is under
the direction of Gustavo Car
dinal Tesla of the Vatican adj
ministrative staff.

have designed the Council
