Two Films Win Honors .(Continued from Page 1) The BPC list contained four films; none of the motion pictures were as- signed to a particular classification. The NCOMP selected the films for ) Clear: It's wise to confine each letter to a single bill or topic; if you want to talk about more than one bill, write more than one letter. 4) Constructive: Try lb approach the issue positively . . . even when recommending a negative vote. (e.g. I urge you to vote against any relax- ing arf our abortion laws. Instead we should be attempting to help the mothers and children involved with positive counseling and and practical educational and medical aid.) 5) Friendly: Your legislators are men of good will, elected by you and XPiir. ..neighbors to represent you at the state level. Don't threaten to act as if the legislator were your enemy. Assume he is a man of good will and address him accordingly. ( W.MOe<9ootT Hve categories: For mature audi- ences, \Rachel Rachel\; for youth, \The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter\; for general audience, \Oliver!\; for edu- cational value, \2001: A Space Odys- sey\; and foreign language film, \Nazarin.\ \Rachel Rachel\ and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter\ were named on both lists and by previous agreement, these motion pictures were desig- nated for the joint awards^— ' The BFC honor for \Yellow Sub- marine\ was called an \Award of Special Merit\ -The cartoon about the famous British singing group, The Beatles, was cited for its \new dimensions of creativity in the art of animation.\ In the award to \Faces the BFC praised the movie for \evoking the darkest moment in a human relation- - slup-wrhen-the-need-foHove-coincides with the discovery that surface banalities have eroded all communi- cations.\ Produced and directed by actor John Cassavetes, the film de- picts life in present-day suburbia. \Oliver! a big, colorful musical based on Dickens \Oliver Twist,\ was commended by the NCOMP for the \warm humanity of its characteriza- tions, the joyous quality of its music and dance, and the visual richness of dts production.\ The Catholic film office praised \2010: A Space Odyssey\ for the \scope of its imaginative vision of man —> his origins, his creative en- counter with the universe, and his unfathomed potential for the future.\ In its award to a foreign film, the NCOMP cited the Mexican film \Nazarin\ for the \integrity with which it questions the proper place of religion in relation to the practical demands of the secular world thereby presenting the experienced viewer , with a challenge of special content- < porary relevance.\ 6) Personal: By all means avoid the mass mail approach. Letters which seem mass produced have only a minimum impact. 7) Timely and often: If you have already written early in the session and the bill is getting ready to go to the floor for a vote don't be afraid to write again, reminding your legis- lator of your views. CZEQH TALKS DUE! Bonn — INC) — Negotiations by the Communist regime of Czechoslo- vakia with the Holy See will begin soon, the Czechoslovak Minister- President Oldrich Cernik, has an- noonced, according to the German Catholic nWsTgeiicy\ XNA. The Czechoslovak leader did not specify when, the negotiations would begin. Views ourse (Continued from Page 1) Officials note that the diocesan Com- mittee on Sex Education, headed by Dr. Gerard T. Guerinot, chairman, was guided by certain specific princi- ples and objectives in preparing the TpTogfamTT\ —-——— —-———-— The introduction to the sex educa- tion syllabus lists the following ob- pectives of a Catholic sex education program: u Development in the child of \a concept of the sacred nature of sex.\ Development of respect for.the, op- posite sex \based on an understand- ing of the wonderful role of man and woman in God's plan of creation.\ Clarification' of \the serious obli- gations that accompany God's gift of sex.\ Emphasis on the family orientation _of sex, The program is planned for both boys and girls and the teacher is. directed to keep them together throughout. . Officials explain this policy was ; ^d^ted==^as^=4)ecause=tt==M^ecesc====^ sary to reflect the notion that sex is _ Ta^ed JL nojL_secr^jJsecpnavj'lD«ajisJ~',-,. \ffienatufal beauty of God's^an lor sex gives reason_to_boys arid girls to respect one another. Separating ^he class tends to promote ah atti- tude of embarrassment, silliness and even shame.\ — The only exception to this policy is in discussion of jmenstruatLon he- cause as a personal hygiene prob- lem for girls, it is not, really sex education, officials said. They—explatoed-that-the-seqoenee^-^ of understandings is a logical one, with the concepts building gradually on one another. Provision is made for the teacher\ to vary the order \be- The assembly districts in the Rochester area: District 130 is com- posed of the Towns of Irondequoit, Webster, Penfield and Perinton, and part of city ward 21; District 131 is composed of city wards 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, part of 8, 16,17, part of 18, and 22; District 132 is composed of the Town of Brighton and city wards 12,13, 14 and part of 21; District 133 is composed_ of the Towns of Gates ajnd Chili and city wante 3, part of 8, 11, part; of 15, 19, 20, and part of 247 District TIM is com- posed of the Town of Greece and city wards 1, part of-8, 9, 10, _ paft of 15, 23, and part of 24.

Bolivian Bishop Praises Area Priests (Continued from Page 1) Bishop Schierhoff said soberly, \This can be the most serious burden for any missionary. Add the indifference on the part of the Bolivian people to the feeling that many of the poor in Latin America have—a deep sus- picion of the U.S. gringo, and you have a cross that can really hurt an American missiorier.\ The Rochester priests have done a lot in two years to better the living conditions of their parishioners, the Bishop recounted. \The medical facilities they have brought in for the people and the brick factory which gives them jobs deserve our warmest thanks.\ The real progress he and other i ltaders to card&fqr the religious needs of tbeir own communities.\ \Lay work is especially effective where, by necessity, the people live in true community. The religious lead- er there is more than a catechist. More properly called, 'pastoral agents', they are selected by their friends and, after training, are bet- - ter teachers- than we are.\ When tbie interview turned to the question of what diocesan help be- sides money can be offered to the three priests so far from home, the Bishop became very serious: \They place a higrli value on the prayers of their families and friends. This help can^t he^«peated io& often. \And the next most important •Hfft^MWNr*\' ' ce*e,\<' In his brief stay Bishop Schierhoff visited Father O'Brien in Newark, Mrs. Clarence Deckman, mother of Father Deckman, and Mrs. Paul Man- ning the sister of Father Freemesser. From the Deckman home he had a telephone chat with Mr. and Mrs. Francis P. Golden in Elmira, parents of Father Edward Golden. Msgr.John F. Duffy, recently ap- pointed diocesan representative for the Rochester Latin American Mis- sion will travel to Bolivia with Bish- , op Schierhoff on March 26. ,! His visit here was a* shot in the arm for all of us\ he said. \It was La Paz archdiocese for our priests work down there.\ A \simple and gradual\ develop- ment of understandings or concepts. Providing information -that is \as non-technical as - possible without omitting what is necessary.\ v Providing \adequate information in pace with the young person's physical and intellectual growth.\ Use of proper terminology, avoid- ing slang, and baby terms. Avoidance as much as possible of making the program a separate course, \utilizing rather the oppor- tunities presented in the normal pro- \granTTi'elipJh7 _ sociiSl~studresr Set \ ence, etc.).\ The introduction of the syllabus also—calls=-on^6he- schools to-provide- for informing parents about the school program, and to include di- rection, encouragement and training ~T6r parents to anticipate the school ~ program in discussing sexual develop- ment with their children. It also cautions against assuming that parents will universally, or even generally, respond to their responsi- bilities in sex education. The program is designed around a number of- \understandings\ for each grade level. Beginning with Grade 1, each teacher is assigned responsibil- ity for communicating several basic understandings — a minimum of two, a maximum of six. The understandings presented \build gradually from fundamental concepts of growth and family to a reasonably adequate grasp of human sexuality and the_seribus responsi- bUnresThat God attaches to it,\ ac- cording to the diocesan committee. ' - Officials add that sex^education \is not a 'course' to be taught It is a trust that the teacher shares with the parent. Every effort should be made by tie school and teacher, to encour- age and assist the parents in antici-^ pating the class teaching.\\ -rsaiise of some natural-opportunity that presents itself or because of the needs of an individlal group\ of The understandings have been ar- ranged at grade levels fitting the ma- turity and needs of the \average\ young person, according to the cur- riculum-conimitteer-Ghanges-may—be made after faculty discussion in view of varying cultural backgrounds of youngsters. The committee explains that, for example, inner city young- sters may see and hear more about sex than those in suburban areas. However, it may be argued with some validity that certain under- standings are introduced at too early grade levels. On the other hand, it also may be argued \better a year too soon than a day too late.\ Most adults tend to underestimate the outof-sbhool avenues of access young people have to information on sexual\ matters. \Ufffortunately \inform mation obtained in this way is too often faulty and can quickly destroy the proper attitudes towards sex that parents and teachers have worked hard to build. Perhaps the only way to determine whether the Rochester diocese pro- gram, or any sex education program, has drawn reasonable criteria for the rate of introduction of new material is to study it as it is used in the class. The question of a child's maturity and ability to comprehend concepts at any particular age level certainly lies in a fuzzy and ill defined area. It should be remembered that the curriculum has not been in use very long and is far from \set.\ Indica- \0o1HS _ aTe _ that tne curriculum commit- tee is even now considering changes in the/ syllabus.
