Bishop Gerald Emmett Car-
ter of the diocese of London
told members of the clergy
and laity Thursday that separ-
ate schools as a political issue
have been sotred away at least
until the next election.
Bishop Carter was guest
speaker at the dinner in St.
Joseph's Parish Hall which was
held to commemorate Huron -
Perth Roman Catholic Develop-
ment Day, About 200 separate '
school teachers, parents,
school board members, par-
ents, school board members
and members of the Roman
Catholic clergy attended the
dinner and heard Bishop Carter
speak on "The Challenge to
Catholic Education Today."
Bishop Carter said an analy-
sis of the recent election in
Ontario revealed that no polar-
ization of the people along
religious lines took place. Ile
said the issue now facing any
government is how to achieve
the greatest good for the great-
est number.
How a government goes
about accomplishing this task
depends on the philosophy it
holds but he said he found it
"devastating" that some people
believe in a single monolithic
school system for all children.
"There are a host of people
More Rabies
The incidence of rabies in
wild and domestic animals has
increased markedly in the past
few weeks, particularly in the
northern areas of the county,
with gradual spread in a south-
erly direction. Any unusual
actions in wild or demestic
animals should be treated with
extreme caution, and reported
to the Health of Animals Branch
office.
The object of this report is
to make residents of the county
aware of the presence of this
disease in the county, and in
this manner to avert as much as
possible spread of the disease
in animals and thus prevent
human involvement with suspic-
ious animals.
It is interesting to note that
in the period of January 1, 1970
to October 31, 1970 there were
41 confirmed cases in the coun-
ty compared to 52 in the same
period in 1971.
The Health of Animals Branch
in co-operation with the Huron
County Health Unit, have
recently completed free Anti -
Rabies Vaccination clinics for
pets in the county. It is gratify-
ing to note that there has been
an increase of 17.7250 in the
number of animals vaccinated,
compared to our 1970 clinics.

who are worried about the fact
that we want a separate school
system, " he said, adding that
because Roman Catholics have
their own philosophy of life the;
don't want to abide by that of
others.
The school system should be
able to reflect those different
philosophies, he said, because
the only alternative for Roman
Catholics is a school system
w,giich is becoming more and
more like that in the United
States in which invoking the
name of God, for example, is
forbidden by the constitution.
I -le added that on the other
hand, if all separate schools
can offer is a wholly secular
education, he would be the
first to aandon them,
Ile toldthe teachers in the
audience that they must convey
faith, not in terms of tradition-
al definition, but by giving
reasons for their own faith. At
the same time, he warned,
faith is mysterious in many way.
and we cannot understand
everything about it nor should
we try as many popular theol-
ogians do.
"The spirit of our faith is
not -reserved for the clergy, "
he continued, "It lives in you
as much as it lives in me,
your Bishop , or in the Pope."
He said that youth has been
offered only material things in
life and this they have rebel-
led against in various ways.
"We have failed to challenge
our youth with the challenge of

task now before them,
Ile said thatadult education
is one of his top priorities for
there are too many people
that have a 'father knows best'
attitude towards the church
and thus there is " a very real
need for a representation of
the eternal verities to them.'
He reminded the audience
that however important sep-
arate schools and audio-visual
aids might be, they were
even more important because
"we are living in an incarn-.
ational church and world"
whereby we must try to reflect
the humanity of Christ.
