RECEIVED WITH THANKS
JAMES C O'NEILL writes from VATICAN CITY.
"PEACE IS A DUTY." THIS is the central theme of Pope Paul's message to the world in connection with the observance of the second Day of Peace, which he has called for on January 5. The message was released at a press conference on December 18 and is an impassioned plea to all men to dedicate themselves to avoiding "the incalculable catastrophes should new armed c onflicts occur."
New Delegation HIS Holiness Pope Paul VI has erected a new Apostolic Delegation for New Zealand and the Pacific with its seat in iVellington, New Zealand. Since 1914 these areas were attached to the Apostolic Delegation in Sydney, but they are now made a separate entity. Right Reverend Monsignor Raymond Etteldorf has been appointed Apostolic Delegate to New Zealand and the Pacific and has been made Titular Archbishop of Tindari. T his appointment was announced in "L'Osservatore Romano" on Saturday, December 21, 1968. The New Zealand Delega tion territory does not include Papua-New Guinea or the British Solomon IN1ands.
The Lord Mayor of Perth, the Hon. T E. Wardle smiles his thanks as Archbishop Goody hands him a cheque for $1,000 for the Meckering Appeal Fund. The cheque represents a gift to the Fund from Australian Catholic Relief. Earlier this month Bishop M. McKeon handed Mr. Wardle a cheque for $7,200 which had been collected in parishes of the Archdio:ese for the Meckering relief
