Mass the Station Chaplain 'has em- barked on a program of litur- gical education for the adults and children of the parish. It envolyes familiarizing everyone with the prayers of the Mass which the people wili say in English with the priest. In keeping with the liturgic- al reforms authorized by the Vatican Cquncil, the Mass Al- tar now faces the people. , The Station Chaplain, Fath- er Hussey, reports a very fav- orable reaction on the part. of the people since the Mass nas 'been offered facing the congre- gation. The people are more attentive because they have a more intimate view of the action Of the Mass. More intelligible In February 1964 English was - authorized for the Epistle and Gospel parts of the Mass. This permission now extends to all prayers of the Maes except that small part which surrounds the Consecration of the Mass. The addition of English throughout the Mass will make the Sacrifice more intelligible, and point out in English What has been prayed for centuries in Latin*, that the prayers of the Mass are prayers of Adora. tion and Thanksgiving conibb. ed with sentiments of Repara- tion and Petition. additional accommodation' "in addition to their original sug- gestion of a 150 -bed e.iclditiOn, at 1-luronview.."

New Warden Values The Press GObERICH—The new war- -dee of Huron values the press as a factor in maintaining a feeling of partnership between citizens and county council, and believes the -newspapers should receive "as much information as possible". He touched upon this subject in addressing coun- cil before the vote for warden was taken. "it is generally conceded," he said, 'that municipal govern.: Meet is closest to the people, and it is essential that it work efficiently. The one ingredient to make it week efficiently is a Well informed public. As to the press, I believe as much infer- -nation as possible- should be given to :these people. "It it important that the in- formation be . accurate, Noth- ing causes alarm and suspicion so quickly as an impressione that something is being con- cealed. Full explanation., creat- es a feeling of partnership be- tween citizens and council which can only be achieved by the co- operation of press and council."
