Title: Center of attraction.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-45700 CENTER OF ATTRACTION SAGINAW, Mich. -- Father Bartholomew Kestell and his puppet, “Father Oscar,” entertain a group of youngsters at St. Joseph School in Saginaw, Mich. The Capuchin priest was in the Midwest for a brief vacation following his second four-year mission stint on the Persian Gulf sheikdom of Bahrain Island. A man in perpetual motion who is sometimes called “The Brown Tornado” (for his brown robe) by fellow priests, Father Barth, a native of New Holstein, Wisc., is widely known in Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan for his wide range of talents. He is an architect, an archaeologist, a puppeteer, a historian and a former Navy chaplain. When Father Barth returns to the Mid-East, he will begin construction on the first Catholic church in Oman, another Persian Gulf sheikdom, in more than 300 years. The church will reflect Arabic architecture because, as Father Barth explains, 50 years from now it might serve as a mosque. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BFS-SAG-6C-74-DS)

Title: Resigns in protest.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-45927 RESIGNS IN PROTEST SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Mrs. Betty Bone Schiess, one of the 11 women deacons who took part in the controversial Episcopal ordination ceremony in Philadelphia on July 29, talks with Dr. Charles V. Willie after he announced his resignation as vice-chairman of the Episcopal Church’s House of Deputies. Dr. Willie’s son, James, clings to his father’s back. In a sermon at Grace Episcopal Church in Syracuse, the black layman, who took the action to protest the ruling of the Church’s House of Bishops declaring the women’s ordinations to be invalid, said that “to carry out the unjust laws of this Church which do not affirm the right of females to be priests and bishops is to visit oppression upon women.” In addition to his resignation from the House of Deputies post, Dr. Willie, a sociologist who had preached the sermon at the ordination service, said he is also resigning from the Church’s Executive Council.

Title: Two views of busing.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46174 TWO VIEWS OF BUSING BOSTON -- Students at Boston’s Hyde Park High School (top photo) look through a shattered window of their school bus, damaged when fights broke out between black and white students at the school. Several students were injured in the incident, just part of the violence which has marred Boston’s court-ordered busing plan since the start of the school year. A more peaceful view of busing is achieved by four Boston students as they discuss school desegregation efforts with a Charlotte, N.C., student coordinating council (bottom photo). The four students (foreground left to right), Barbara Steer, Dana Gonsal, Bob Messina and Linda Lawrence, are members of the Hyde Park High School biracial committee who were invited to the Southern City by students to get a look at integration and how it works in Charlotte’s public high schools, where a massive busing program has been in effect for 10 years. “We’re still working at it every day, and we don’t have any miracle answers," a Charlotte student told the Boston group. “But what was a new situation for us 10 years ago is a new situation for you now. And we want you to know we’ve learned a lot about judging anybody, black or white, as an individual. It just took time." Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-BOS/NC-10D-74-DS)

Vernon Missionary Baptist church -- the 11th Negro church to be destroyed by fire in the state this summer and the second burned in the McComb area within five days.
