For three years, ten COM
missions and two secretar-

Then a Central Commission
of 102 members and IS adj

Phones'U ring at

BY FRAN RYAN

Jane Harris seven phones will be constantly in
use for the next two years as she assumes her duties of
president of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women.
HER HUSBAND, Walter, a division sales man.
ager for Ohio Bell Telephone Company, assures his wife
that seven phones should be ample to handle all Council
business along with a few social conversations.
Mrs. Harris says she will continue preparing
family features for daily newspapers" and editing the
monthly newsletter issued by the Interfaith Committee
for Better Entertainment.
The new president feels the work of Interfaith Co.
operation, membership within our parish organizations,
and the constant pressure to Obtain better entertain
ment for the children should be very important to every
layman today.
Accepting her new assignment this week, Jane
said that the Church is entering "a most exciting and
wonderful year."
"IT is OUR duty to learn the work of the Ecu-
menical Council in Rome because of the interest other
denominations are giving to the Council meeting" she
said.
The new Council president emphasized that repre-
s%entatives of these various faiths participating in the
Rome meeting would be reporting the events to their
Individual people. 1t is up to the Catholics to know and
explain the purpose and hope for Unity, she said.
Jane stressed the need to understand other faiths
and the need for them to understand us. She feels
this is the time to work together, to find understanding,
and through this unity fight Communism.

the greater grows the inter-
est in it.
1t may help as back
ground to print some of my
remarks at our Diocesan
Council of Catholic Women's
Convention on Wednesday of
this week.
The Second Vatican Coun-
Gil will be the greatest relig-
ious event of our goth CEN
fury. 1t is the 21st General
Council in the history of the
Church. 1t will be certainly
the most general, or univer-
sal, of all the Councils = for
two reasons:
/. The Bishops attending
will come from the whole
world, from every part of
the earth. This is not true
of any one of the previous
Councils. The first 10
brought Bishops from a linn
tied area bordering mostly
on or near the Mediterran-
can. Even the First Vatican
Council. 100 years ago, had
representatives from only
varied regions, but not from
every part of the world. The
Second Vatican Council is
anticipated to have as many
as $500 Bishops - three
times as many as attended
any other Council - coming
from the world over, in this
age of facile transportation.
2. THE G reason
for the universally of this
Council is in its preparation.
No previous Council has
been convoked so suddenly
and Unexpectedly. But none
other compares with this
one, in the vastness and
thoroughness of its prepare
tons.
Pope John XIII announc-
ed the Council January %,
1859. In June all Bishops,
major superiors of religious
orders, theologians and can.

Government
encourages
private schools

James J. Hollern, executive
secretary of the Ohio Catho-
lie Welfare Conference, said
Wednesday that = contrary
to popular thinking = gov
eminent does recognize the
public function of parochial
schools.
Hollern, who was speaking
at the Education Workshop
of the DCCW convention,
noted that this recognition
comes in the form of exemp-
ton from real estate, person
al property, federal excise
and income taxes.
THOSE WHO speak of an
absolute separation of church
and state often would like
to give the impression that
government is hostile to
parochial schools, he said.
Hollern explained that
parochial schools are open to
the public generally and that
no one is denied admittance
on account of race, color or
creed; that the parochial
schools must meet the same
state standards as the public
schools; that their teachers
must be certified; and that
the same subjects that are
generally taught in the pub
lie schools are taught in the
parochial schools, with re-
ligion added.
"Since the parochial
schools serve this public pur-
pose, government recognizes
the contribution the parochial
schools are making to the
overall task of education in
the community and therefore
encourages the parochiai
schools by granting tax ex-
emption," he concluded.
