LESTER KINSOLVING JERUSALEM Israel's Proclamation of Independence promises that the State "will maintain complete equality of social and political rights for all its citizens without distinction of creed, race or sex. It will guarantee freedom of religion and conscience, of language education and culture." have been happy ones, he says. Industrialist Recalled It was in Wilmerding that a young Father McGarey met George Westinghouse, who invented the airbrake and founded the borough. The priest was obviously impressed by the industrialist who, because of his importance to the railroads, was able to have express trains stop outside his factory just by making a phone call Msgr. McGarey recalls: "Whenever he wanted to go to Pittsburgh, Westinghouse death and resurrection of Christ at Easter.

Bishop Vincent M. Leonard of the six-county Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese in a Lenten message to more than 900,000 Catholics urged "thoughtful consideration of human relations and affirmation of Christian ideals by deeds and not merely by words in our sick society of today," also declaring: "We must not permit the ceremony of Ash Wednesday to become an empty ceremony but one that will awaken in all of us an awareness of the social ills that affect our society." He urged the traditional abstinence from meat on all Fridays during Lent. And he said: "The true spirit of Lent means that we don't just give up things, but give things and ourselves to others."

1 3 WA Monday, Msgr. McGarey, who is a spry and hearty 91, managed to establish a few records, for longevity in a variety of areas, all related to his priestly duties. For example: He was the oldest active priest in the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. He was according to an exhaustive search of all available records the oldest active secular priest (that is, one not affiliated with a religious order) in the United States. His 55 continuous years as pastor of St.

Aloysius is MSGR. MICHAEL McGAREY The right path for God's work. matched by no other Catholiic priest anywhere. He was dean of the diocese's South Central Deanery for 32 years. All of which is a pretty fair track record for a man who, an associate says, as a youth could not make up his mind whether to become a professional baseball player or a priest.

Msgr. McGarey, who was born in Charleston, S.C. but raised on Sidney Street on the Southside, became a pretty fair shortstop and to gain the attention of some major league scouts. His decision on the priesthood came during a game which was being watched by those scouts. As he tells it: "After I struck out three times I decided to hang up my glove and enter the seminary.

I don't know if my decision was dictated by the Holy Spirit or a sharp opposing pitcher." After his ordination in Baltimore in December, 1901, lie served nlships p.t eld St. Paul's Cathedral then located on Grant Street, St. Agnes in Oakland, and St. John the Baptist in Lawrrnce-ville before his first assign-, ment at St. Aloysius as assistant pastor in 1903.

In 1909, he became the first pastor of St. Titus Church in Alinuipria "when there were still half-breed Indians in that area." In 1914 he was reassigned to St. Aloysius, this time as pastor, a post he relinquished on'y this week. His years in Wilmerding I juts' Jsx HellofiVIiI Prcslivfprian liurcli 5n FIFTH AVE.

But he went on to acknowledge that only 35 per cent of Israel's children attend religious schools and that the three religious political parties have only ten per cent of the seats in the Knesset (parliament). The rabbi-cabinet minister repeatedly responded to questions by saying to this writer: "that question should be asked by a Jew not by you." But one Jew who is loudly asking such questions is a Reform rabbi, Joseph Glaser, the outspoken Regional Director of the Northern California-Pacific Northwest Region of the of American Hebrew Congregations, who is here for a one-year visit.

For Men Only Ralbi Glaser recently incited a near-riot at the Wailing Wall. On Simchat Torah (a festival in which men have traditionally mixed with women in synagogues) he tried to lead his wife and several by-standing women into the area reserved for men. (Said Mrs. Glaser: "He says I chickened out just because I didn't want to get Then on Rosh Havana, despite the fact that it fcH this year on Shabbat, Rabbi Glser dared to blow the Shofar. (This is strictly forbidden on Shabbat, since it constitutes work.) He then informed the Jerusalem Post that he had blown the Shofar "right in Jerusalem, within an easy walk of the site of the Holy Temple and while looking out the window at Hechal Shlomo (Orthodox headquarters).

Lightning did not strike, the roof did not cave in. The worshippers at the Reform Jewish services were exalted and stirred by the sound of the Shofar as they should be each year, whether Rosh Hashana falls on Shabbat or not If TV increases people's of the Shabbat why not? We must remember that the Shabbat was created for man, not vice versa." Bishop Nichols Goes to Geneva Bishop Roy C. Nichols of the Methodist Church will fly to Geneva, Switzerland next Saturday, Feb. 14, to attend a five-day meeting of the executive committee of the World Council of Churches.

Phone: 261-1352 I This ideal may have come close to realization in other areas but not in religion, where the Orthodox establishment considers itself superior to the Reform branch, and holds the country in a doctrinal stranglehold. "The scholarship of an Orthodox rabbi has a higher standard than that of a Reform Rabbi," explained Israel's Minister of Social Welfare, Dr. Joseph Burg, in an interview I had with him. The Orthodox "Jewish legal curriculum," he went on to explain, "is a higher one We have to know more and observe more." The views of Dr.

Burg, himself an ordained Orthodox rabbi, should be of considerable interest to 400 Reform rabbis of the Cental Conference of American Rabbis meeting here next month. They will also be concerned that the Government cf Israel, which so many of them have actively supported, refuses to grant legal status to any marriage performed by a Reform rabbi in Israel. (Hence any U.S. couples married by a Reform rabbi in Israel are not regarded as legally married by the U. Just how much the promise of religious freedom is broken by the Orthodox establishment is seen in the fact that all members of the armed forces and passengers on I a 1 i ships, or El Al Airlines, are obliged to eat Kosher food whether they like it or not.

(Its imposition upon all by Government fiat hardly conforms to the religious freedom promised by the Proclamation of Independence.) No Sunday Bus Infinitely more aggravating to the non-Orthodox Israeli Jews is the fact that on Shab-bat (The Sabbath) all buses grind to a halt as does most of the country, including much of its economy. But when the Israeli Government tried to ban TV on Shabbat there ensued an uproar, of the type which would probably long since have occurred had the nation not been too busy defending its borders to afford a holy brewl. Late one Friday afternoon, one angry citizen applied for and obtained from Supreme Court Justice Berenson a tem-p a restraining order against the Government's TV ban. And while this case is still pending, the majority of Israeli Jews, who are not Orthodox, are enjoying TV (including "Bonanza" with Hebrew subtitles) on Shabbat. Social Welfare Minister Burg explained that the Government's ban was out of consideration of Orthodox Jewish TV employees but he di1 not cite any specific cases of such employees who were not given their weekly day off on Shabbat.

As for the percentage of Israeli Jews who are Orthodox, he explained that 15 years ego there was meat rationing and everyone had to register with a butcher.

I often went with him to Pittsburgh and I confess I was impressed by not having to stop at all the stations along the way." Msgr. McGarey has served under seven Popes and six 'of the nine bishops who led the Pittsburgh Diocese. He remembers 'John Cardinal Wright as "the man who put the red buttons on my cassock," a reference to his being made a monsignor in 1954 during Cardinal Wright's reign as bishop here. Remain in Wilraerding Bishop Vincent Leonard has asked the monsignor to remain in residence in St. Aloysius and use his considerable knowledge and his prodigious memory to work on a parish history and consult with the diocesan archivist.

Patrick which he wrote many years ago and which has been performed often by church groups. A reporter ended a recent interview with the priest with the inevitable request for advice from the old to the young. Msgr. McGarey, still ramrod straight with posture that would delight a man half his age, answered without hesitation: "I would tell the young people, particularly our young priests, to stand on their own two feet. And when those feet begin to move, be sure they move in the right direction down the road where they can carry you to do God's work." Viscount Samuel Will Speak Viscount Edwin H.
