Bishop Murray is at present rector of St. Patricks College. Springwood. He had made his own studies for the priesthood there before finishing at St. Patrick\ College. Manly. He studied social science at the Gregorian University in Rome and was ordained a priest in 1945. His episcopal ordination. will take place in Sydney on July 21. In Brisbane, Bishop John Gerry has been announced as Auxiliary bishop. Archbishop Rush has had no episcopal assistance since he moved to Brisbane two years ago. Bishop Gerry (48), studied for the priesthood first at Pius XII seminary. Banyo and later at College, Propaganda Rome, where he was ordained priest in 1950. Bishop Quinn of Perth was in the same ordination class. Bishop Gerry, at present parish priest of Herston. Brisbane, was recently appointed by Archbishop Rush to be episcopal vicar for social welfare. The two new appointments bring to a total of 19 the bishops in the hierarchy of Australia (including two bishops East ern for specially Churches): seven bishops are retired. Archbishop Goody has applied to Rome for the appointment of a further auxiliary bishop for Perth.

Record will rise to 20 cents per issue from the next in first issue month — July 4. The manager, Mr. Edward Van Heemst, said that only a massive increase in circulation — more than one third — would be able to stave off such a rise. Small independent papers are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the inflationary pressures, particularly the rising cost of paper. In addition, small papers are finding it competitively more difficult to acquire the display advertising that is going increasingly to the larger publications and other media and which are a big factor in off-setting the cost of publication. The Adelaide diocesan paper, The Southern Cross, comparable in size to The Record, has been 20 cents for some time. The Sydney diocesan Catholic Weekly and the Advocate of Melbourne are both 30 cents and the former is under severe pressure from rising costs.
