FIRE CAUSES $5,000 DAMAGE TO SYDNEY CATHEDRAL
concerned visitor
TODAY'S AUSTRALIANS are outstanding for their awareness of the needs of people and concern for the development of poorer nations. This is the opinion of the Very Rev. Father A. Hall, OMI, Assistant to the Bursar -General of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, who was in Perth earl ier this week as part of a fact-finding mission.

Firemen, directed by District Officer Roy Treasure, extinguish a fire in the century-old "great doors" (main entrance) of St. Mary's C athedral, Sydney, last week. The fire broke out at about 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13 — a day after Cardinal Sir Norman Gilroy announced a public appeal for S200,000 would be launched later this year for the restoration of the Cathedral, the "mother church" in Australia and one of Sydney's most outstanding buildings. The fire caused damage to the doors and surrounding areas estimated at $5000. It was first noticed by a taxi driver who saw flames and smoke leaping about 25 feet above the Gothic entrance as he drove past. He raised the alarm over his two-way radio. Al l a vailable units from headquarters, The Rocks and Darlinghurst were rushed to the scene and only quick action by firemen prevented spread of the fire throughout the historical cathedral. Only a few weeks earlier, the Water Board had marked the street fire hydrants surrounding the Cathedral with reflectorised markers. Firemen praised this for enabling speedy location of the water supply.
Canadian-born Father Hall, who has worked for many years at Pius XII College, Rome Leslitho (formerly Basutoland), sees the missionary as the brains behind the business of missionary development.
