THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 2. 19S1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Fourth in a Series Mass Declared To Be Holy and Awesome Experience for Catholics 6 Service Recalls Las! Supper With Disciples By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Catholic worship centers around a service called "Mass." ". The origin of its name is lost in antiquity; apparently it is derived from the Latin word "missa" which is used to dismiss the worshippers at the end of the service. To a non-Catholic, the Mass may seem like a meaningless ceremony. The priest stands at the altar and performs cer tain rites while speaking rap idly in Latin. His words and actions are punctuated by oc casional responses from a choir or the congregation. To a Catholic who knows what is taking place, the Mass is a holy and awesome experi ence. For Catholics believe that every celebration of the Mass ' is a rcenactment, or more precisely, a "renewal, of Christ's sacrifice on Cal vary. ' Like Protestant services of Holy Communion, the Mass recalls Jesus' last supper with His disciples on the nitnt of His betrayal. It was on this occasion that he distributed bread and wine to the disci ples, telling them, "This is my body, which is broken for you ... , This is My blood, which is shed for you." At the moment of consecra tion, which is the central act of the Mass, the priest repeats these words of Christ. And at that moment, Catholics be lieve, the bread and wine on the altar are "transubstantiat ed" - this is, they become lit erally and actually the body and blood of Christ, though retaining the external appear ance of bread and wine. , "Thus, when a person at tends Mass, he Is really as sisting at Calvary, he is ac tually kneeling at the foot of the cross, he is witnessing over again the passion of the Lord," explains the Rev. John Walsh, S.J., In a recent book. When a Catholic eats one o( the wafers that have been consecrated in the Mass, he Is partaking of the Holy Eu charist, which Is one of the seven sacraments of the church. Few non-Catholics realize that there is a distinc tion between the Mass and the Eucharist, but to a Catho lic it Is Important. He is re quired to attend Mass at least weekly, but he may- receive the Eucharist as seldom as once a year. Before receiving the Eucha rist, a Catholic must purge his conscience of mortal ("deadly") sins by making an oral confession to a priest, and performing such acts of con trite piety (usually the recital of prayers) as the priest may direct. This is the sacrament called "Penance." Many nor.-Catholics, and perhaps some Catholics, have the notion that Catholics can go llghtheartedly to a confes sion, cheerfully reel off a cata log of misdeeds, receive a rou tine " absolution from the priest, and go right out to re peat the sins. 'There Is no warrant for this view in Catholic teaching, which stresses that "going to confession" is a meaningless and even a sacrilegious act un less a person is genuinely re pentant and firmly resolved to avoid a repetition of his sin. Other Catholic sacraments are Baptism, Confirmation, Extreme Unction (the "Last Rites." for the dying), Holy Or ders (Ordination) and Matri mony. Catholics believe that the Massand sacraments are chan nels through which God con fers upon human souls a su pernatural kind of help call cd "grace." Wl th ou t such divine grace, a naturally sin ful human being cannot be "sanctified" - that is, render ed holy. In the words of Fr. Walsh grace, "rids the soul of sin, re plenishes it with divine life, and endows it with the capac ity to see God face to face in the next world ... If a man dies with it in his soul, he is infallibly saved; whereas, if he lacks it, he is infallibly lost." When a Catholic is "ex communicated" from the church, he is cut off from the ! sacraments which he has been taught to regard as the only sure means of receiving grace, That Is why this extreme pen alty tif the church's discipline is viewed so seriously by de vout Catholics. Most Protestants believe that Grace is God's free gift poured out in love, especially through the sacramcntsbut also in many other ways, afcd that no human soul who real ly desires it can ever be cut off from it. - Next: Catholic-Protestant - frictions in America.

Speaking at a luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club, Mayor Snider pointed out that from these studies would emerge land use maps, zoning ordinances and other positive guides de signed to guarantee the li ability every citizen desires. ' Air polution will continue to be a major problem, the speaker emphasized, and it remains to be seen if local Industry and agriculture could solve this problem on a vol untary basis. ' The time will come, the mayor warned, when Med- ford's i abundant supply of mountain spring water will have to be "diluted" with wa ter from Rogue river to meet the requirements of expand ing population. It is currently estimated that, by the end of this cen tury, about 85 per cent of a U.S. population ranging up wards from 300 million will be city dwellers. At that time one out of every elglu per sons living in this country will live in Oregon, Wash ington and California, Mayor Snider' said. City's Problem Along with air pollution, and water problems will come those of traffic . congestion, recreation and the blight at the core of cities '.vhich are spilling over artificial bound aries into crowded, unplanned concentrations, he said. Because of the immediate capital outlay for schools, streets, sewers, police and fire protection and other services, cities today face the odd di lemma of bankruptcy Instead of reaping wealth from the Air Force In Flying Pay Said To Be $183 Million Washington (UPD- The Air Force will waste $1 83 million this year by having nearly 27, 000 officers qualify for un necessary flight pay, govern ment bookkeepers charge. Unless regulations are chnnged, the General Account ing Office said, almost 27,000 officers will receive flight pay although they are either "ex ecs to stated Air Force re quirmeMs"'or donJt need fly ing skills In their posts. The Air Force replied that In accordance with a Con gressional order limiting the flying force to not more than 70,020, it suspended the flight status of 728 officers lust Nov. 4. Gen.

The GAO, Congress' watch dog over government spend ing, said that in addition to $71 million doled out for flight pay during the year ending June 30, the Air Force also would ipend $112 million for maintenance and operating coitt involved In qualifying them for the pay.

The problem has be come one of national concern- LEONARD HUDSON To Speak on Nepal Agricultural Advisor To Nepal to Speak Leonard Hudson, who has just returned from four years as agricultural advisor to Nepal, will speak at the -annual Federal Land Bank as sociation meeting Friday noon in the Gold Hill Grange hall. Lunch will be served at noon and the talk and movies of Hudson's experiences will be shown at 1 p.m. Nepal is located along the northeastern land route between China and India and adjacent to Tibet. Hudson grew up in the community of Elkton, was graduated from Oregon State college and has spent most of his life teaching and advising on agricultural matters here and abroad. Waste the government more than $42 million yearly in operating and maintenance costs, not counting the pay Itself. In addition to that, the re port said that another 17,000 positions require flying pro ficiency but the duties In volved didn't appear to "need current flying skills." Another $70 million in op crating expenses could be saved if flight requirements were eliminated from these jobs, the auditors said. The QAO said that in addi tion to wasting money, the officers were wasting their time qualifying for the pay. Air Force Fatal Accidents Reduced Washington -IUP1I- Air Force reports it had only 110 fatal accidents during 19B0, com pared with 184 the previous year. The total fatalities Involved in Air Force accidents was re duced from 375 In 1959 to 274 Inst year, the service said Wednesday, The reduction was achieved despite the pro Christmas crash of an Air Force transport plane which killed 50 persons, including 30 civilians, in Munich, Gcr- many.

Constructive Criticism To meet the many problems of fast-growing Medford in the decade ahead, Mayor Snider solicited constructive criticism, active participation on city committees and com missions, and urged capable citizens to run for elective offices. In a brief addroBs follow ing Mayor Snider's remarks, State Treasurer Howard Bel- ton lauded Gov. Mark Hat field for his devotion to pub lic service, but reiterated his opposition to the controversial government r e o r g anizatlon plan advocated by the State's chief executive Students from Medford High school told Rolarians of the forthcoming production of Finian's Rainbow" by the high school choir, scheduled Feb. 9, 10 and II, and pre sented a preview.

Kennedy's Political Makes Him Popular By HARRY FERGUSON London - IUPII - During a re cent visit to the United States this correspondent found him- sheif besieged by a lady wear ing full war paint and armed with a king-size martini. , "What I want to know," she said, "is what do the British think about President Ken nedy, is Tony Armstrong- Jones popular over there and is Princess Margaret preg nant?" The lady hod one well- mnnlcured hand on the pulse of America, because the same questions in one form or another were asked in the Midwest, the South, New Eng land and New York City. An omnibus question invites gen cralized replies and that Is pretty much what the lady got. In this order: Kennedy Popular Kennedy - Yes, he is popu lar in Britain for many of the same reasons he is popular in the United States. Women like the hair cut and the flash ing smile. Serious young men are pleased that a young man has been elected president and has surrounded himself with a relntively young cabinet. But the broad base of his popularity is not that he is John F. Kennedy, 43 years old, but that he is a Democrat, By some whim of history Brit ain in her blackest hour has been rescued by Democratic Presidents - Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman. A Republican Presi dent probably would have re sponded just as quickly to dis tress signals, but it Is an his torical fact that the British arc Indebted to and grateful to the Democrats. - j Popular With Masses Tony Armstrong Jones -Yea and nay. He is extremely popular with the masses (he! got a film star welcome from j street crowds when he showed i up for the first day on his' new job).

Hutton & Co., says the current overall market upswing la not in tech nical danger of final termina tion "until sometime during the March to May time peri od." Stating that the rally is based on growing confidence in the new administration's ability to check and reverse the business recession, Gran ville feels this kind of -confidence won't be shaken or changed until the nation has a chance to see if new1 meas ures undertaken will be suc cessful. Thus, the analyst argues, any near - term reactionary phase should be seen as an other buying opportunity, The Shields Survey says Frisch's Restaurants, Mun- singwear and Niagara Mo hawk Power are three situa tions which currently intrigue its analysts. The survey says these issues have absolutely nothing In common except an offer of promise for long-term capital gains and good Invest ment income at the same time. Thomson & McKinnon says issues which currently war rant buyer favor are Eastman Kodak, RCA, Western Union, Warner-Lambert, Richardson Merrell, American Chicle, GM, Republic Steel and St. Joseph Lead. l Five Men Enlist In Marine Corps Five local men were enlist ed in the Marine Corps during the month of January, ac cording to the local recruiting office.

The story of Cinderella is supposed to be the greatest fiction plot ever Invented, and such diverse talents as Horatio Alger (rags to riches) and George Bernard Shaw (Liza Doolittle of Pygmalion and My Fair Lady) have not hesi tated to use it. To the British masses the career of Armstrong-Jones is a true life re telling of the story. The boy from Pimlico Road marries the beautiful princess and, his admirers hope, lives happily ever after. Flurry of Excitement Princess Margaret - Don't know. If she Is pregnant, it is a secret held by a small circle consisting of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Armstrong Jones, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mother and some un identified but eminent obste trician.
