Ecumenical Council Shows Pope Paul (EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the last of three dispatches by United Press Internation al's religioin writer summing np the work ol ' the second session of the Ecumenical council. ' By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International VATICAN CITY (UPI) -Paul Vi has demonstrated at the second session of the Ecu menical Council that he is wholly committed to the great vision of church reform and Christian reunion which ani mated the late Pope John XXIII. Any doubts which may have lingered in the minds of liberal Catholic bishops about Pope Paul's attitude have been re moved during the past few weeks. Quietly but forcefully, he has thrown the weight of the papal office behind the council fathers who are striving to renew and modernize the Catholic Church, and to remove roadblocks from the long road to Christian uni ty. His influence often has been exerted in subtle and indirect ways, because he is very an xious to avoid any appearance of dictating to the council. But It has been made clear to all even to the adamant conserva tives on the council's key theo logical commission that the Pope meant exactly what he said in his opening address to the council on Sept. 29. At that time, the Pontiff sum moned the church to "move forward boldly" along the path marked out by his predecessor, John XXIII. Means Business Even before the council con vened, Pope Paul was trying to make clear to his old col leagues in the Roman Curia the citadel of stand-pat conser vativesthat he meant busi ness about reform. In a re markable address to the Curia on Sept. 21, he said bluntly that it deserved criticism and needed reform. He added he would not tolerate any efforts on the part of Curia members who are supposed to function as the Pope's secretaries to side track the work of the council. But old habits die hard. Al though consistently outvoted on the council floor by huge ma jorities, the preservers of the status quo, led by Alfredo Car dinal Ottaviani, still wield enor mous power in the backstage machinery of the council. They are particularly well entrenched in the theological commission, which must pass on all docu ments affecting doctrine. Otta- Virus Disease Is Reported in Rabbits SALEM (UPI) -The State Department of Agriculture Tues day reported an outbreak of a virus-caused disease among rab bits in the Rogue River area in Southern Oregon. ' Dr. R. A. Bennett, disease in vestigator, said some rabbit breeders in the area estimated "a loss of adult rabbits in ex cess of 500." The department identified the disease as myxomatosis. It said the disease had characteristics similar to some forms of can cer and was spreading by biting insects. It apparently affects only rab bits, the department said. There is no known cure or immuniza tion for the disease. Property Taxes Paid By Area's fx-Gfs Ex-GIs with Oregon vet erans' farm and home loans in Jackson and Josephine Counties paid an average property tax of $258 and $210, respectively, this year, according to a report from H.

Mrs. T. F. He blames his low grades in college on us. George F. I should have gone to an out-of-town school. Mrs. T. F. George should be grateful to be going to col lege at all. Instead, he keeps complaining that he couldn't go to a university away from home. He attends a Grade-A school only 40 minutes away. This eases for us the disappointment of being unable to afford dormi tory fees and high tuition rates. He says his mid-semester marks are low because we're noisy. George F. Somehow I was able to get A's and B's in high school, despite my mother in terrupting my homework with snacks, my father turning on TV full , blast, and my sister's screeching girl friends. But col lege is hard.

A psychitrist's own daughter, we're told, shook hands with him at the start of the first semester and said, "No matter what happens, let's wind up friends." ... To puncture George's vision ot ideal study conditions in dormitories, we remind him that there are usu ally goof-off types who breeze in and out of a fellow's quarters, hi-fi addicts, hog-callers who yell to each other. His recourse there or at home would be to ap peal for considerateness, or flee to the library. . .Certainly there are many advantages to living at home during college finan cially, emotionally, socially. The rub here is that Mrs. F. may not he. aware of the added intellec tual pressures George is under going. Let s nope me lanuiy lu give him: (1) A quiet, private spot to study in; (2) some ice way on mealtime and his share of chores; (3) Few family de mands for participation; (4) Re duced pressures as to marks.

Alchemists over a period of thousands of years, have searched frantically for that which would prolong human life beyond its allotted time. Scientists, even today, are hop ing for a drug, a hormone or a miracle that will do what was expected of the Fountain of Youth had it been located. Ironic it is, indeed, that there are insects occupying this earth with us which have seemingly solved part of the mystery of extending the life-span of an individual or species. The bees have appeared to be rather close to developing an elixir that accomplishes a miracle . . . when applied to bees. The insect material is called royal jelly. It seems to have clambered a considerable way up the biological wall; so far it has come close to confounding chemical analysis. Royal jelly is a remarkable substance supposedly secreted by glands in the heads of worker bees. Under proper conditions of the bee colony it will produce and nourish a queen bee. Be cause this substance is. the sole food of the queen, it derives its name royal jelly. The name is well taken, for she really is a queen; royalty in a golden cas tle, waited on by a host of de voted subjects. She is the mo ther of the hive in every sense of the word. Controlled Number Entirely due to her efforts, the number of bees in the col ony is strictly controlled. The number of wax makers, pollen gatherers and hive roustabouts are all kept up to the prescribed level in each category. Yet she has nothing to do with the ad ministration policy of the col ony; nothing to say about the divisions ot bee classes which are to be developed from the eggs she lays. Her sole duty is to produce eggs. Each egg, as soon as it is laid, is carried away by a worker bee and placed in a cell where It can be watched by other workers, who will de cide whether the resultant baby FO FAM11Y FUN you can t beat holiday gift the whole lamily on enjoy.

Actually, the queen is merely an egg laying machine, turning out bee eggs on a production line basis, and at a fantastic rate. She can produce as many as 3,000 eggs in a 24-hour pe riod; that's about 125 an hour, or two every minute. She can keep up the pace for as many as five years, thereby produc ing in her life time nearly six million eggs. And she accom plishes all this on a diet of royal jelly. Married Once Strangely enough, the queen is married only once, and her husband dies before the honey moon is hardly begun. From the time she was a tiny larva until she dies or is dethroned. she will eat nothing but royal jelly, which would seem to make this material about the most potent elixir man has ever imagined ... a sub stance made from pollen, dew from plants, and secretions from glands smaller than the human eye can see. All the eggs laid by the queen bee look exactly alike, but by some wild knowledge, certain fertile eggs are designated, by some unknown instinct, to be come queen bees. When the lar vae hatch from these selected eggs, they are fed royal jelly, which produces a tremendous stimulation, bringing about ex traordinary growth; and a queen bee is the result. After a few days she is ready to take to the outside air on her wedding flight a two-way trip out and back to the hive. After the flight, during which she meets her husband, she re turns and settles down to a life time of egg laying and. a menu of royal jelly ... the same mysterious substance that cre ated her at the beginning of her royal queenship.

But the word filtered back to liberal . bishops that Ottaviani's commission was simply "sitting on" the document, rather than prepar ing a final draft for formal adoption. J he suspicion that the crucial document had been pigeon holed was heightened when Ot taviani and other conservative cardinals closely allied to him declared in council debate that the Oct. 30 votes were not bind ing on the commission, and that the whole issue ot Richard A.

An autopsy was scheduled to determine the exact cause of death, but Homicide Detective E. E. Bergquist said there was no indication of suicide or foul play in the death of Mack, 56, whose body had be in the apartment an estimated five to eight days. Investigators said they found a few bits of food in a small refrigerator and about 40 cents in pennies, nickels and dimes stacked neatly on a kitchen table. - Improper Influence Mack, a member of the Flor ida Railroad and Public Utili ties Commission before being named to the FCC by President Eisenhower, and Miami attor ney Thurman Whiteside were indicted on charges of using im proper influence in the award of Channel 10 in Miami to Public Service Television, Inc., a Na tional Airlines subsidiary. They were tried together, and a mistrial declared when the jury deadlocked. In a second trial at which Mack was too ill to be defendant, Whiteside was acquitted but later killed him self. The charges against Mack were dropped. Mack resigned from the FCC after his indictment.

This outraged the liberal bloc. The lid blew off the sim mering dispute on Nov. 8, when Joseph Cardinal Frings of Co logne, Germany, ripped into ut taviani at a tense and drama tic council session. Frings said it was "indeed amazing" for the theological commission to suggest that the issue was un settled. He bluntly reminded the commission that it is sup posed to "function only as a tool of the council and to ex ecute the will of the council fathers." . Within hours after Fring's speech had electrified the council, the Vatican grapevine was passing the word that Pope Paul had called Frings into his office and had expressed whole hearted agreement. A few nights later, when the theological commission was holding a meeting with Ottavi ani in the chair, a papal at tendant arrived, bearing a mes sage. Its contents have never been made public, but persons present said that it was a hand written letter from the Pope, and that it expressed quite for cibly his desire that the com mission proceed expeditiously with its proper work of carry ing out the expressed will ot the council fathers. Expands Commissions The Pope later expanded membership of the commis sions to make them more lib eral in make-up, more respon sive to the council majority, and more responsive to its will. That same night, Uttaviam appointed several subcommis- sions to begin working on the details of the church govern ment document.

SNIDER & ARDEN FLAVOR FRESH ICE CREAM AND OTHER FROZEN PRODUCTS voting before the present ses sion ends Dec. 4, but council fathers anticipate it will be the first order of business when they reconvene next fall. This episode is typical of the undramatic and often secret backstage role which Pope Paul has played in the council. His hand rarely shows in public, but the fathers are learning that his views are accurately represented by the four moder ators whom he named to pre side over the council and par ticularly by one of them, Leo Joseph Cardinal Suenens of Bel gium. Leads Liberal Bloc Cardinal Suenens has emerged as the Pope's closest friend and confidante. He is also leader of the council's lib eral bloc. It was Suenens whom the Pope chose to deliver an address at the midpoint of the session, ostensibly to honor the anniversary of Pope John XXIH's election, but actually to reawaken in the minds of the council fathers the shining image of Pope John's ideals. Pope Paul listened from the papal throne in St. Peter's as Suenens spoke, and warmly em braced him at the end of the speech. There could be no more eloquent way of telling the council fathers where Pope Paul stands on reform and re union. The brilliant, scholarly pon tiff with deep-set eyes may never have the popular touch which endeared his predecessor to all mankind, but as one noted American, theologian commented, "It would be hard to conceive of a Pope better qualified, by experience and at titude, to carry through the work which Pope John began." to be thankful for on this 342nd. turkey dinner, with Christian Unity FAST QUALITY Happy Thanksgiving When You're Out Taking Pictures with Your REMEMBER!
