Vatican striving for talks with Rumania
Catholic education
ADELAIDE. — Darwin's Bishop John O'Loughlin has assured parents Catholic education will be provided for children from the beginning of this school year. "I feel this is one of the most important contributions the Church can make," he said passing through here last week. "Education will play a big part in people's decision about whether or not they will return to Darwin. "By providing education we will help make it possible for wives and families to rejoin their husbands. "We have promised we will provide the full curriculum from Grade 1 to Leaving.

I'm in favor of granting permits to those who can return. -There'll be little to fear. "The troubles of Darwin itself are being attended to.
"But there are many personal and family problems that will take a long time to solve." Bishop O'Loughlin said that while damage to church property in the Darwin cyclone amounted to something like $1.1 million there was so
much personal hudiship.
EMPHASIS
"The emphasis must be on this," he said. "We won't make an appeal just to restore buildings. The real area of need is that of personal suffering. "So many people have lost everything — their homes, their jobs, all their personal possessions. "The future is bleak for many people. "I hope the wonderful manifestation of generisity down here will continue." (SEE ALSO P. 5)
