Congressman Al Ullman wired
the Gazette-Times Tuesday that

Pope Tells Need to Follow

Raymond Beard of St. Patricks
and St. William's Catholic
church to members of the Hepp-ner-Morrow
County Chamber of
Commerce Monday In reporting
on his trip east to see Pope Paul
on the latter s recent visit to
the United States.
"This was the first time that
a pope had ever been asked by
all the world leaders to come
and speak with them," Father
Beard said in recalling Pope
Paul's words In New York City.
"He felt he couldn't turn it
"The pope spoke of problems
and obstacles or peace as man
kind pursues Its selfish desires,"
Fr. Beard said. "He has to make
way for other Individuals."
The pope mentioned spiritual
values and brought moral val
ues into his discussion, Father
Beard said. He reported His Holi
ness as saying. "There is little
peace among men because the
Prince of Peace is excluded.
"He wanted to bring the mes
sage of peace as Christ did 2000
years ago," the speaker said,
adding that the pope felt that
since these were "men of rea
son" maybe they could get to
gether and prevent .further
bloodshed and further killings.
"But when our leaders speak,
they never speak about God;
they never speak about relig
ion." Father Beard said.

Of Brooms Monday
Annual broom sale of the lone

"We have enough brooms to

said.
Proceeds go to the Oregon

makes the brooms, and to civic
projects of the Lions club.
Lions club members are ask
ed to meet at Heppner Auto

difficulty in finding his seat
He took a place nine rows back
from the altar which he thought
was among other Roman Cath
olic priests. Hewever, he found
that he was in a section 01 rroi
estant ministers.
"I was supposed to land
among priests but I landed with
non-Catholic ministers so I had
a better seat! I just sat tight,"
he said.
Father Beard spoke of getting
in a crowd so tight at the sub
way that his feet barely touch
ed the ground.
I couldnt fight it I just de
cided to ride it out." he said.
He went to the World's Fair but
said that he "wasn't particular
ly impressed." declaring, how
ever, that he really didn't "see
the fair by any means" in the
short time he had to spend there.
He told of incidents that he
noted in New York mat men
cated many of the nation's peo
ni have "no shame, no decen
cy" and pointed out again the
great need for religion.
Father Beard was definite
enough on his assessment of
New York. "I wouldn't trade
Heppner for six cities of New
York," he declared.
He thoroughly appreciated the
trip, however, which was a g it
from his parishioners of St Wil
