Credit Union Plan For
Perth Parish Plans for the formation of the first Parochial Credit Union in Western Australia have been discussed during the past week with the help of Father John Gallagher of Sydney. The discussions have taken place among some of the parishioners of St. Denis', Tuart Hill. Father Gallagher is widely can find is that encompassed known in the Eastern States as the founder of the Australian Antigonish Movement. As an assistant priest in Lidcombe in 1954, he in-
spired and guided the formation of a Credit Union on a parish basis. Now ten per cent of Australian parishes have Credit Unions. One year ago, Father Gallagher, returning from a study tour in Canada, the United States and Europe, passed through Perth and was invited to help spread the idea in our city. His present visit, during his annual vacation from parochial work in Enfield, is a result of that invitation. EDUCATION NEEDED "Education is the key to opening up successful Credit Unions and other similar cooperative enterprises," insists Father Gallagher. "By education through discussion people can come to accept responsibility for their own needs and those of others. Out of this can grow co-operative credit societies, building and trading societies. And out of this can grow a whole new way of life based on the proper recognition of the human person as an intelligent and free social being." "In practice," he says, "it works out that if you get a group of people together from a "natural" community -and the most natural we

problems, sincerely discussing them with a view to solving them, they then activate the Providence of God, and they will invatiably come up with the best solution to those problems. "That, basically, is the technique we are following. It is sound philosophically and theologically; and from the number of co-operatives we have succeeded in establishing we know the principle does work. It has been embedded in the simple education medium of the 'cottage discussion,' which has been very successful for initially establishing Credit Unions and other societies in the scheme."
WHAT IS IT? When asked to describe a Credit Union, Father Gallagher said that more than any thing else it was the embodiment of en idea and an application of Catholic social principles laid down in the papal encyclicals. It could be described as an association of persons, united by some common bond or community of intent, joined together in a co-operative endeavour for the following purposes: To encourage thrift by providing a safe, conventContinued BACK PAGE

All Missionaries Will Stay In
Ex-Dutch Territory HOLEANDIA, West Irian: The Catholic Bishops here have said that the missionaries will stay in this territory, which has just passed out of Dutch control. The Bishops issued a special pastoral letter because
the territory's missionaries have been asked repeatedly in recent weeks whether or not the mission would stay. "The mission will stay under all circumstances,"
the Bishops said. "It will continue its work with great charity, with much energy and with warm enthusiasm." Jose R. Bennett, of Guatemala, acting United Nations chief administrator, proclaimed the transfer of authority from the Dutch to the international body on October 1. U.N. stewardship will run until next May 1, when Indonesia will get administrative control of the

Sentence For Miracle Fraud Paris: A court has sent two men to prison
for fraud after
they made money on a phony miracle. The "miracle" took place in 1953 in the town of Entrevaux near Nice. Jean Sal-

broken in the fall. Two days later, Salvade pricked his own finger, rubbed blood on the statu-
ette's broken meintzr and announced a miracle. The story of the bleeding statuette spread. Pilgrims started coming to Entrevaux where they bought s.aaicites, postcards, candles and pieces of cotton that had been touched to the "wound." Later, Marcel Leonardi, a sculptor, bought the statuette from Salvade, to take it to Paris and other places to exploit it commercially.

The Bishops said in their letter that they would not express any opinion on political developments. "Christ never took sides in political affairs of His day. He came to preach the Gospel, not to issue directives for political life," they said. "Church leaders must not let the Church become involved in political issues," they added. "For that reasan we have not expressed any opinion on these matters in the past months." The old Dutch New Guinea has 108 priests to serve 700,000 inhabitants, o n y about 500,000 of whom live under regular government administration. The territory his about 5,700 Catholics and is divided into two vicariates apostolic and a prefecture apostolic. 1
