HOLY NAME MEN P ACKED ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL LAST SUNDAY FOR THEIR MOST SUCCESSFUL A NNUAL R ALLY FOR SEVERAL
ASSISI (Italy): FRANCISKUS CARDINAL KOENIG HAS BRANDED AS FALSE RECENT REPORTS THAT JOZSEF C ARDINAL MINDSZENTY, PRIMATE OF COMMUNIST - RULED HUNGARY, WILL SOON BE FREE OR ABLE TO
The increased attendance proved the wisdom of the Holy Name Convention in switching the rally from May to September. More than 600 men and 30 priests attended with His Grace the Archbishop presiding. In past years the rally has often clashed with the school holidays, which meant that many Holy Name men were absent with their families. Also, wintry conditions probably kept many others away. It was felt that the second Sunday in September would offset these disadvantages. Monsignor E. Collins, the Spiritual Director of the Holy Name Diocesan Union, was the celebrant of the Benediction and the Rev. Father F. X. Brown, 0.P., preached t h e occasional sermon. Father Brown told of the formation of the Holy Name Society and the life of the founder, Blessed John of Vercelli. He said that the Holy Name was commanded to be founded by the Ecumenical Council of Lyons in the 13th century. Blessed John was then the Master-General of the Dominican Order, which was given the task of starting the Holy Name Society.
COME TO ROME. The Archbishop of Vienna spoke at a press conference. He publicly admitted for the first time that he was on a special mission for the late Pope John XXIII when he went to Hungary to see Cardinal Mindszenty, who has been living in asylum at the U.S. Legation in Budapest since 1956. Speaking of his mission to Hungary, he said: "I have been an ambassador of peace for Pope John XXIII in Hungary, but I do not know whether I shall be one again. That will depend on the situation and on the will of the Vatican. "Perhaps journalists are not very content with me because I have said nothing about my missions into various communist countries." NOT FREE pointed out that he Then he is still not free to divulge anything about his missions. He did say, however, that it is untrue, as some newspapers have been claiming Cardinal recently, t ha t Mindszenty will soon be free to leave the U.S. Legation. Cardinal Koenig said reports that the Hungarian Primate will attend the second session of the Ecumenical Council opening on September 29 are also false.

THOMAS MORE COLLEGE ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17.
The last Sunday in October has seen an ever-growing number of people going to Aquinas and the big trouble has been that the
great majority were going by private car or parishhired buses. In latter years this has caused some of the worst traffic jams in Perth's growing traffic problems. Parking at Aquinas itself has also become an increasing problem to the organisers, though the Brothers had made ovals available for the parking of cars.
With an eye to the future of Christ the King will be and the ever-growing popu- held on Sunday, October 27, larity of the Christ the King and before that date, "The procession as an expression Record" will give the usual of Faith and as a religious details of how to get there, spectacle, t h e organisers parking and where to go for have decided to see if a the procession. change of venue to Perry • This aerial photograph Lakes Stadium will cope shows the stadium with Hay with the traffic and other Street running down the left problems. and Brookdale Street at the The procession in honour bottom of the picture.

YEARS.
The lecture will commence at 8.15 p.m. in the Junior Common Room and is open to the public. Professor Adler's public lecture is being sponsored by the Graduate Division of the Newman Society. The subject of his address on this occasion will be "The Demonstration of God's Existence." Holder of many distinguished posts, author of a great number of outstanding books and director of the comprehensive index of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica's set of Great Books, Dr. Adler is currently Director of the Institute for Philosophical Research at San Francisco. Professor Adler has been described by "Time" magagine as "A Jewish professor who taught Catholic philosophy to largely atheist students." This non-Catholic scholar has been famed as a great student of St. Thomas Aquinas, whom he once argued had not proved the existence of God. Dr. Adler's Australian tour — which takes in seven universities in 12 days—began on September 9. It is his second visit to Australia. While in Perth he will also give a lecture to the Philosophy Society of the University of Western Australia.
