Golden Jubilee At Scarborough Not the least interesting aspect of the golden wedding celebrations of Mr. and Mrs. A. Pianta, held at Scarborough this week, was the recollection that Mrs. Pianta is a direct descendant of Captain Cook's sister. Bride and bridegroom, now well advanced into their eighties, attended an evening Jubilee Mass at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Scarborough, on Monday evening. One of the most poignant moments of the Sacred Rite was the renewal of marriage vows a startling re- dedication of fidelity in an age of fugitive affections.

After Mass a buffet tea and social was held at which Rev. Fr. E, Bride P.P., Rev. Fr. J. Chauncey (assistant) and Scarborough parishioners were hosts. Rev. Fr. J. Depiazzi, an old family friend, was also present together with almost 50 relatives of Mrs. Pianta. A spiritual bouquet of 50 Masses, together with the special blessing of the Holy Father, was presented to the
jubilarians. In the social evening which followed, excellent instru-
ment music provided by Mrs. Carmel Hughes, Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs. Mettam and Miss Marcelline Burrows, was enjoyed by all. A beautifully decorated cake was cut by the jubilarians. Mrs. Pianta (89) was formally Miss Cecilia Franklin. Born in Victoria she came West at the turn of the century, and lived in North Perth until her marriage to Luigi (Aloysius) Pianta. Mr. Pianta came froin Italy. At first he conducted the Glendalough dairy. After working at Bullsbrook, he spent many years at New Norcia assisting the monks in the cultivation of the vineyards and the making of wine. Mr. and Mrs. Planta were married at St. Brigid's church, West Perth, on Oct. 1910, 24, the late Dr.
O'Hurley officiating. They have an adopted son, now in Queensland.

Aid Issue Becomes Important In U.S. Presidential Race The issue of using Federal funds to aid private and parochial schools or their pupils has popped into the presidential campaign. The Democratic nominee again declared against such aid; the Republican nominee said he would let the States decide; the Republican vicepresidential nominee opposin the ed discrimination matter; and a Cabinet member said the proposal "makes no sense." After the exchanges, an anti-Catholic group and a fundamentalist church organisation denounced those who aid.

It all began when Henry
Cabot Lodge, the Republican vice-presidential contender,
told a nation-wide radio and TV audience ("Meet the Press," Oct. 9), he would draw no line between aiding public and private school boys. Then came a press conference statement by Arthur S. Flemming, U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, who said Mr. Lodge's proposal "makes, no sense." Sacramento, told He Calif., newsmen the proposal to aid private and parochial schools is an "idle
gesture" because Congress would not approve such a plan. This was followed by the release of an interview by a school teachers' publication in which both Vice -President Richard M. Nixon, the Republican candidate, and Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, stated their positions. The two were asked by Scholastic Teacher: "Do you believe that Federal aid should go to public schools
only?" Sen. Kennedy, who has repeatedly taken a stand against support of private or parochial schools by Fed, eral funds, replied with one word: "Yes." Vice -President Nixon said he would let each State decide whether the Federal funds they get should be used for both private and high and grade public
schools. He noted that traditionally Federal funds have been
provided to higher education without regard to whether the schools are public and private.
