Officials Of Y.C.W. Boys And Girls
Family Group At Riverton Surprising was the number of German New Australians of the metropolitan area who followed the invitation of Father John Luemmen, S.A.C., to a Christmas celebration at the Pallottine Mission Centre, Fifth-ave., Riverton, on Sunday, December 27. The evening Mass was sung by Fr. J. Herold, S.A.C., a visiting missionary of the Kimberley Vicariate. His inspiring sermon and the singing of the beautiful old German Christmas carols during Mass made the large congregation feel at home except that the snow was missing. A well prepared and very enjoyable Christmas party followed the celebration in the church in a very homely atmosphere. Many expressed their gratitude for the "old Christmas," hoping not to miss out on it next year.

The assurance was contained in a reply by the Ministry of Education to an inquiry by the Catholic Education Council about the new tax proposals. Catholic spokesmen had expressed alarm when the recommendation for taxing churches and schools was submitted to the government in November by a committee of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. The committee suggested that "charities" such a: voluntary schools-a category including most of the Catholic schools within the state education systempay 50 per cent of their taxable value. The same tax would apply to church buildings. At present such church and school buildings are exempt from taxation. In its reply to the Catholic Education Council's request for further explanation of the tax proposals, the Education Ministry promised that all objections and recommendations from religious bodies affected will receive consideration before any legislation is drafted. The Ministry further stated: "In the meantime, whatever decisions may ultimately be reached, the government would in no circumstances legislate in such a way as to place any . burden on the Church authorities responsible for voluntary schools in respect to the use of the premises for school purposes." Observers here took this to mean that school buildings used solely for educational purposes would not be taeed, but those used outside teaching hours for noneducational purposes might be subject to taxation. The Education Ministry made no reference to the proposal to tax church buildings. While Catholic schools within the State education system face possible financial hardship under the new proposals, independent Catholic schools-as well as monasteries, convents and residences for the clergywould benefit. Such properties are at present taxed according to the discretion of local authorities, but in most cases the rate is more than the standard 50 per cent proposed in the new recommendations. Another government report suggesting changes in the State education system has received qualified approval from Catholic spokesmen. The report, issued in mid December, proposed among other things that the minimum age for leaving school be raised from 15 to 16; that there be compulsory part-time education for all persons up to the age of 18, and that "county colleges" be established in each county in England and Wales. Catholic educational officials endorsed the proposals generally, but asked how the government expected them to find the resources to assume the financial burdens they would involve. Bishop Andrew Beck, A.A., of Salford, commented: "It would be an educational tragedy if, for financial reasons, the voluntary schools were unable to take their full place in this important national development." .
