Santa Franca alia Chiesa Italiana

Questa ~ la storia di Santa Franca, pellegrin a dall'Italia in Inghilterra, dalle valli piacentine a Londra, dai Comuni della Val d'Arda alla'Chiesa italiana ,di San Pietro in Clerkenwell.

Non e una storia "storica", non e la vita di questa santa Abbadessa che noi vogliamo scrivere, e la storia della statua; di come questa statua e capitata qu1,a: Londra nella ~ostra 9hiesa.

10 sono' venuto qui a Londra il 28 luglio 1975, senza sapere' 'niente di inglese, e di vita italiana a Londra. Mi sono trovato in mezzo a tanta gente e ho imparato a allargare, le mie conoscenze geografiche, fuori delle citta di p,ai:ma e pj,acenza. Cos! mi sono' accorto che in 'ItaH.a esistono molti altri' paesini pieni di buona gente, e tanta 'ai questa buona gente si trova qui intorno alla Chiesa. ESsi, sono attaccati alle 16rovallate e alle lore montagl)e'. Cosl:,quando tre anni fa iParroci di Norfasso e Monastero si sono incontrati per lettera' con me, abbiamo deciso anche di incontrarci in questa Chiesa per la Santa Pasqua e abbiamo avuto la gioia di vedere Monastero, Morfasso e tanti altri paesini riun:lti,. cOmrrlossi e fedeli, intorn0.ili 1.0ro,Parroc1;, In q\1eJ.l'occasione" ho sentito parlare per la prima volta di Santa Franca.' ,

Mi e state raccontato molto sutla festa·e il pellegrin~ggio che s~'fa in Italla nel mese di agosto. Mi hanno parlato con entusiasmo della fede ChE' accompagria la moltitudine di persone' sulla montagna dcive sorge la cappella. in onor,e dEllla Santa. E spontaneamente, evenuto a tutti noi 16 stesso pensiero: "Perche non avere la statua di Santa Francaanche, qui, nel:la no"tra Chiesa di Londra?"

Sarebbe stato un pezzo della nostra tradizione, dei nostri ricordi, della nostra £ede, tanto pill che in quei giornistava arrivando dall':tt·a1.iit; dalla, provincia di Avellino, dal paese di Senerchia, la statua di San Michele, che un gruppo"di buoni senerchiesi, residenti qui a Londra, aveva ordinato a'proprie ,sp~se.

L'idea fu mandata avanti piano piano con fede, coraggio e insistenza~, ',Da parte nostra, cioe da noi ai Londra, vi era una affettuosa inslstenza'e una promessa di aiuto e appoggio almeno morale. Nil. da _parte di quei' paesi italiani ai' cui Santa Franca e la protettrice, da parte di alcune persone e Sacerdoti di'quei 'comuni vi e stato il vero. 'lavoro organizzativo ,che ,pochissimi conosc;:ono e che e difficile immaginare. ' '

~reoccupaz10ni, contrarieta, difficoltii, hanno accompagnato per lungo temp'6 queste persone che hanno realizzato da sole tutto quanto. Statua, processione, spedizione. Esse non sono state guidate da alcun interesse mate'riale, "rna ,uni­camente dalla fede di Dio e dal desiderio di fare del bene ai propri fedeli.' E sono riusciti perfettamente in questa' iniziativa, voluta da tutti'", Lo dL­mostra la domenica 1 luglio. 1979: domenica indimenticabile per la Chie'sa Italiana di San Pietro a Londra.· Circondata dal1.a fede, .dall'affetto" dalla coinmozione dei fedeli residenti a Londra e di col oro venuti appositamente'dal-1 'Italia di'Santa Franca e entrata ne1.1a Chiesa in me,zzo' alla gioia di tutti, circondati d1 fiori. .. , ,

11 Parrocco di Morfasso ci ha invitatoalla preghiera durante la messa che ha celebrato, rna ad una preghiera di sperariza per tuttirioi, che, siamo qui,' una' preghiera di fiducia nell'aiuto di Dio e della Santa, una preghiera d1 pnione fra tutti noi. Ed e proprio questo,che noi speriam<?, di pcii:erci unire t'!,ttl. della Vallata nel nome di Santa Franca, di poterci aiutare a raggiungere il cielo. E quello che tutti desiderano, e quello che ha guidato e sorretto le brave,persone e sacerdoti che, dall'Italia, han no voluto farci questo dono. A lore va il nostro ringraziament,e la nostralgratitudine. I lore nomi non sono su questo articolo, rna sono nel cuore della Santa che li accoglierii in Cielo.

LA NOSTRA DOMENICA

La Domenica e' un giorno, che, a me piace mo1tissimo: "Perche non si 1avora" direte' vo'i; e, invece non E! 'vero, anzi E! l'unico giorno, della 'settimana in 'cui' noi preti 'lavoriamo, come abi tua1-

'mente si. dice. Piace molto 1a Domenica, perch1i vi. posso vi. poss'c>, v'edere" ,posso pi-egare con v,oi. Si vedono' tante famiglie vengono' a Messa:' genitori. con j; ),oro ,f.1g1i.,;E una cosa, tanto 'oe1:1a questa: quando i1 pap~,~ 1a ~amma dannol'es~mp~o ai 10ro fig1i. Talvolte la, famiglia non pub ve­'nire, t!ltta :insieme, alIa Messa; rna i' f~,gl-!, sanno se i genitori van no' al1~ Messa. C1. sono 1. genitol;'i tanto, buoni rna che si' vedono poco in Chiesa.

Car.!; ,genitori, 1a ,cosa pHi: bella, ,che. noi possiaino d~re; ai nost,rif.igli e ,.11 nostro amore', che e ,fatto di tante piccole cC;>s~: di presen'za, di dia10go, "di e~ernpi: e fra ,1'esempio ci,sono"cose importanti: ,per,esempio i genitori che, 'vanno d.'accordo che si parlano tra di loro e, pun to' molto importante, i genitori che vanno sempre a Messa anche senon possono andare insieme.

Qu!,nte cose' possiarno dare ai nostr'i figii con il nostro esempio:voi ,avete visto quanti giovani vengono' in' Chiesa e come fanno la comunione. poi passano gli anni, comincianotanti interessi diversi nella vita: bisogna che qualche cosa cOntinui ser..pre a man tenere viva 1a,10ro zed". Oltre gl'i'insegnamenti chi> hanno ricevuto e' ,Ie, parole~del·vange10 che hanno senti to', motto' pub fare i1 p,ensiero dei genitori, che vanno. alIa Messa . ' ' , ,

Per questo iosono contento la Domenica: quando vedo pap~, mamma, e figl1 che vanno.'a messa. 'Vedo tanta gente che la Domenica entra, in Chiesa. DOpO i1 lavoro di una. settimana si viene a ringraziare Dio e si chiede: a1 Signore che ,ci dia la" forza per un' altra settimana. Sono 'contento quando vi dico 1a Nessa' ,perch1i parte­cipo aIle gioie e ai. do~ori d~ tutti i presenti:orma1 conosco tante pe~sone e quando Ie rive do ogni domenica mi sento il cuore pieno. di a],legr1a, pe:t:'ch1i proprio mi trovo in famiglia.

Comevedete,q!lesta e una chiacchierata molto semplice, cos1 come mi viene da11a penna; Sono contento La Domenica quando insieme leggi.amo la Paro1a di Dio e sen­tiamo tante cose belle e soprattutto abbiamo ne1 nostro cuorei1 desiderio,di. vo­lerci bene e di fare i.1 bene; Per questo io aspetto la domenica con ,gioia: perch6 tutti quanti possiamo fare u'n pi",co10 cammino verso i'l Cie10, perch1i tutti quanti possiamo sentire' che 1a Madonna ci sorride, <::i benedice, ci aiuta.

(The Hill centd.)

Abeut19J.7 we started taking swinuning lessens at Endel1 SI:. Baths. Once a week we weu1d walk there accempanied by ene ef eur masters who' weuld shew us the basic breast, streke and the elder beys who' ceuld swim weuld tend to. shew us new strekes etc. On the way to. sCheol, we weuld pass a ceurtyard where Cessave11a's (cenfectieners) had their bakery. I used to. pep in quickly and get a bagful, ef stale cakes fer· one penny (the oJ.d penny), and as seme ef the staff knew me threugh my dad dQXng business with them, I always get a geed bagful, which was share,~ with all my mates en e\!r way back, to. scheel.

The 1914 war. was a shocker in that ne-,ene knew what to. expect., and when the first bembs began falling, it, caused a let ef preb1ems regarding where to. go. fer safety. At first the neighbeurs ~he lived areund Meunt,P1easant cengrega­ted in the ceJ.J,ar ef, my' dad's shep at No,. 57 (which centaine'd barrels ef wine aridbexes ef pasta and the like)'., The wemen weu1d, all gather tegetlier saying the Resary, whilst the men weu1d discuss the best ways ef finishing the war. One thing steed out: to. us children: every' time a bemb drepped 'a spider weuld run Qut,Qf rts lair, wait a ,while and then return, then eut, again as seen as anether bemb dropped, centinua1J.y repeated whilst the bembs were drepping , '(and tHere were plenty drepped seme nights!) After a while, hewever, the autherities get, mere erganised and we then went to. take cever' in, the J.arge Tample Press Building, higher up in Meunt Pleasari);." Later en, this was also', censidered dangereus and we were then meved to. the Falk Stadelman wareheuse in Surnriler'Street, adjacent to. the' bridge. \'1e, were warned by special wardens J

riding a'bicycle and blewing a whistle with a large card en his back with the werds 'TAKE COYER'; the clear weu1d be simUar but, this time the card carried the "erds 'ALL, CLEAR' .' ,

Aise dut-lng'the 1914 war, snecia1 cinema matinees were run fer the bel).e£it, ef the chil:dren, whether in thb mernings er early afterneons. The £aveu,ri te cinema was the Sad1ers Wells (Yes, its new the SadJ.ers Wells Opera Heuse): either ~ penny entrance er if we had no. meney a J?m-Jar weu1d de, and.as we entered w~a11 get, a bei:ed sweet. \'le always saw an episede ef Pearl l'/)lite in 'The Breken Cein' and eit~er:Char1ie Chaplin er Buster Keaten er Larry, Semen ~i1m. During the interval the attendant weu1d ceme en the stage and we weu1d have a bit ef a sing'-seng and the attendant weuld sheut "Are "e de~m­hear,ted?" We "euld roa11y sheut back "No''' and then "Shall we win?", and us again with a strenger '·Yes". There was also. the three P' s just beyend Exmeuth Street" put, his was a bit buggyfied! and, net as pepu1ar as the Sadlers We~lS.,

-Even during this peried 1914-1918', the.'p~b1ic' were te1d to. save energy.i '~nd.' whether it was to. save fuel er whether the fact that, their ewn evens"were , small, the neighbeurs certainly did their best to. save energy by ta~~ng the' Sunday'Reast up to. a g?ed bakery iri Exmeuth Street., where it, weu1q. ,o'e p'acked,' in, a big even tegether with 4 er 5 dezen ether reasts and yeu had'to go. ,back a certain time to. cel1ect it; there was a 1evely smell ceming eut ef, ;~Jle I?ake,rs, (a temptatien to. take ene ef the baked spuds). Yeupaid a small 'cnarge (de­pending en the size ef the rQast tin, rt was abeut sixpence to. a shi~ling) and Qff you trQtted 'back heme with YQur reast, bearing in m~nd that, you c,Qvered ;i.t • with prQbab1y the best linen serviettes er fancy ~clQth yeur mamma had":!-n"the ,. . heuse, much to. the envy ef the neighbeurs. --' ,',' ,'.

After day-scheel, mest Qf us went back to. the evening sessiQn fQr abeut l~ , to. 2 hQurs to. attend Italian classes under Mr. Ferrari, a nice patien~ teagh~r who' had to. put up with a let frQm seme Qf the pupils, but if QccasionaJ.ly ~ bey went tee far, then Mr. Ferrari stQed-ne nensense and he weu1d.chase the"'bQY Qut ef' the scheel. It was ,an easy geing schoe1 nething as strict a's the d.ay­scheel, but nevertheless it hel:pad us pupils to. keep up with the Italian ' language." Pine'(Pip} Servini'

Roma ~ ammalata:· ~a circolazfone ?> sempre piil lenta' e la pressiorle ~ troppe> alta. Non mi ri­ferlsco ai terroristi n~ aLborsaioli ma al grand'e,problema del ,traffico. Certi ora dicono che ~ il,piil grave problema della capitale. C' ~ il pericolo alla salute degli abitanti di Roma; per ~'inquinazione dell'aria, e c'~ il pericolo di morte per incidenti stradali: :Ma"hanno'da soffrire anche degli altri Romani - voglio dire i ,citta­dini ,dell'ant:ico ImperoRomano. E fra 'questi, piil precisamente', l'Imperatore 'Marcus'Aurelius.'Es'aminando una statua in bronzo dell' Imperatore sul 'suo :cavallo si e trovato che"ne lui ni'! 11 suo servo equestre stavono bene -, il metallo veniva ,(e viene an cora ora)comsumato dall'aria inquinata; Infatti l'Imperatore deve ess~re stato 'proprio ',sfortunato. Una' colonna costruita 1,800 anni fa; alta 43 metri, dedicata all'Imparatore, e ora in estrerno perieolo di cadere. Questo e perche sl trova solamE!nte, 10 metri dalla Via del Corso, una grande str~da, di, Roma,' 'e il traffico vi ha 'causato tante fessure. Sei, mesi fa, la colonna venne circondata da una grande rete perchi'! non .cadessero pezzi di pietia sulle, , auto' che passano nella' via. Poco,lontano c'e 11 Colosseo che, i'! rimasto chiuso per tre 'anni 'per restauri cosicchi'! le, rovine non si rovinino ancora di pHI.

QU,esta e la .situaziorie - cos a fare? Il sindaco di Roma, il Sig. G.C. Argan ha, una, ,p;,opost,a che· di,ce sar? la soluzione. Secondo lui, si deve proibire che· en­trino le auto 'da parecchie vie, creando invece parchi e zone per pedoni. Ma non c' e dubbio che nonostimte i vantaggi di un piano simile, non piaceva affatto agli automobilisti ,di Roma; perchi'! si tratta di isolare: una grande zona al ,centro del-, la 'cittil. ' ", '" '. .

.' Circa quindici anni fa, fu tentato di risolvere '11 problema in un modo simile -peri:) anche i proprietari di quei 'negozi ehe si trovavano nelle "isole", subit:o abbassarono le ,tapparelle a metA e rifiutarono di accendere le luci per protesta, perche secondo loro, senza auto pergevano i client!. Le "isole" Jurono abolite. Poi fu .tentato; un ,pi~no meno, estremo - e cioi'! di proibire la circolazione delle ,auto solamente in ,certe piazze e'stradine. Il tentativ~,'e~be breve successo', ,Dopo, un po' infatti, gli autisti cominciarono a circolare, 10 'stesso, e perciO divenne' pericolosO: passarci apiedLln piil,le strade ,chiuse vennero riempite di bimcarelle che: ,vendevono di ,tutto. Se c' i'! la Polizia, allora" non "i passa. ne~sun! a~toe le :bancarelle 'spariscono, ma i'! raro che la Polizia ci ilia.

E chiaro chebiso,gna, .bloccare le strade in modo piil definitivamente, .e riiente storie. Certo chepiil sorveglianza dalla Pol1zta aiuterebbe ma se diventapro-" prl0 impossibilc 'per le auto di passare, forse si comincerA a vedere i bambini a giocare nelle s~.rade. Per rnantenere g11 antichi monumenti e migliorare b vita deg~i abitanti ci vuole intervento positiv~; e possibile che la nUQva metro­poli.tana darll riliev5> al problema oppure ,una nuova erisi del petrolio. ,Ma i piil potenti interventi positivi, devono' venire dalla gente di Roma -' tocea a lore fare sacrifici per ,salvare' laloro cittll..

I also have a cousin who adore~;~1:l~ ,!!?}~v,e: cst;Y}..~lpf cookirig and who suggested one '~~~u1i"PJiY ,eyenin,g;.i:;Ohat! we, (IJIYI"h:~f3I)~,l!.d"J',~?1;;Ii~r, herself, and I) should go out ,for :a~lJ3"',~.f' . :n~,"'.1i"e 'was naturally"a confront'at'i'on: my brother versus his cousin (being"my cousin- she is also his)"·wh'o>,:adm'i.rably deferided my brother I s verbal attacld;,on\ ·the);n'ature of' any cuisine east of Venice. In ,true Italian fashion, my brother won the day, for as my cousin is of the female' gender her protestations were of little to no importance, to which I must, add that this same cousin tends to humour persons of suspect mEmtal'ity. The outcome of their discussion was our repairing to a, sma:l.l French bistro in Kensington, but, having wasted ,the greater'part of the evening exchangihgviews on oriental cultures, we arrived to find the restaurant full. My cousin,in her wisdom, then suggested BorgoSanta Croce (sister to ' San' Frediano and'San Quintino). This'suggestion met with the approval of my broth'er'whocororoented."that 'Itiil'ian'fo'od' wa's still the bes:t,(a"somewhat biased but nevertheless accurate comment). '

,: " Santa Croce is situated o~ 'the embankment (Thames) where one-may take"a',p~e":~oi post-dinner walk, if one is so-inclined. 'The 'restaurant is,split'on two 'levels and as the ground level was full we went downstairs to ~ lower floor. The decor was typical of a Londoo'-Italian trattoria: white-washea wails, tiled floors -etc. ' some rather nice three.,.dimensional scenes in wood adorned the walls. ,The 10ng menu was both inter,~sting and varied: I chose,' for starters, pizzett:e di melan­zane which consisted. of pre-fried slices of aubergines cooked with a ,topping of tomatoes, mozzarella, and, anchovies and did indeed look miniature pizze - most appetizing..

_ '. _ _ '1"++++++.+++,+++++++++++++++++t++++ I:rALIAN HOSPITAL Dear Sir,

~ 'Havi'ng never been a Patient in any hospitalpreviouslYi 'I' recently' entered the Italian Hospital for a comparatively minor operation.

I now feel that I should write a few words to express my gratitude and appreciation of all the wonderful care and attention that I received. The hospi,tal 'provided a cheerful and friendly"service more .1n, keeping with a :faml1.y .hotel than a hospital. The food alone deserves' special mentiontbecause the quality and presentation of the meals were outstanding. and could;'put .some of our so-called restaurants to shame. I could go on and on praising various individuals and specific services, both medical and welfa:~e; but ,I hope it will suffice if .I just say ,

'To ':,:ou ALL at the Italian Hospital ;. THANK YOU

In conclusion, I must mention that I have been most surprised during my stay .. ' to ,learn' that many Italians prefer to have themselves privately treated at other hospitals. This is something I just cannot understand, because nere they have their own Italian hospital which. from my experience, I am sure ,must' offer as good a service and attention " 1f not better - . than that obtainable elsewhere.

When Citroen ,launched the ex series in 1974, it was dear that this was the car 'rep'lace the OS 'whI'ch -had estabHshed itself as something of, if legend in nearly '20 years of' p£-od,iction~ The' DS' was always considered to be'<A veryadvariced.car: the CX carries' on :thisrole perfectly from its sleekaerodynarnic shape to the futuristic dash display which is 'quite unlike anything ever done' before. -. , .. ~. ., . , . . , " . , . , . .

. MECHANics The 4' cylinder t:rarisverse engine fitted to the 'ex range is derived 'from' the OS series. Originally'a north/so\.lth layout, in the' CX it is mounted transversely

CAR TEST !contd.~

STYLING

It is clearly evident that the Citroen has the most aer6dynain1<:'shape out ,of the competition. It is sleek and slippery, and makes no use,of.spoi'iers as is the mode today. There are few who will dispute the' good looks~. of the/'eX" but' the futuristic theme is by far more evident on the inside. The' drive,r::, ~:i.t;'!i/ il! ' f,ro~t of a large single spoke steering wheel. Through this wheel he sees:<a 'concave pod mounted atop 'a wide forward sloping dash/shelf. The two main instruments~; taqho­meter and speedometer, are set in the centre and are barrel dials. Readings ap­pear from the right as the barrel spins round. Either side of the two~ain dials is a clock (to the, left) and battery and petrol ,gauges (on the right).~ RU!ining the full width of the pod is a comprehensive array of warning lights. 'Stuck in a corner ,is a 'dip stick' gauge. Press the button'and an oil level reading is shown. Handy.' , '

At each, corner -;f the pod are minor controls; Large rocker switches operate, indicators, wi~ ~rs, lights, horn and flash., They are so designed that the driver need nevdr take a hand off the steering whe,el.

Heating and ventilation controls are console mounted, so too are ~~e el~ctric w,indow switches, ,ashtray and'radip.

From knee. level down, the dash is ,trimmed in a velvet velour, which: inatched the seats .on my test. car; The two . .front seats hav~ adjustable headrestraints, 'and are reclinable. It is a shame that the velour llsed to trim 'the seats was not

t continued .. onto.,trc.,somewhat large plastic (and cheap) door trims. Nevertheless, i the interior 'is very well, executed ..

ON THE ROAD

It takes a little while to adjust to driving a Citroen! Initial impressions were less than favourable., The dash looks a confusing array of strange dials, and lights, tj)e steering far too light arid sensitiVe, the, brakes powerfulI' and the gear change rubbery. :r b~g'!r to wond~r who WOUld, ~ve'f, put, '\1[> ,l'!i:th; Isuch 'a !!,onster. After a few hours, I changed my 'tune and'decl'ared:,my,..earller:,:comments null and void!

Take two: The dashboard .is remarkably clear :and concisepii.tn" the minor, controf arrangement a joy to use. The driver can litera11yl;:eep'.b'Ot;h ha,nd{:,Q!}' the wheel

and., operate wiper, lights and indicator \~ith the tips· of ,his: fingers· ..

Now the braking system is strange. The pedal has no movement, but wO£ks on the amount of pressur~ exerted on to ·the pedal. Thisworkswel'l, th~ con·ly:.drawback 1s. that. 'feathering off' is 'a mite difficult.

In London stop-start traffic, the steering is incredibly i'ight, m'akirig the usual grind home quite a pleasure. At highe,r speeds, the steering becomes rock hard with plenty of feel helping. to Keep the car in .a ,straight line ".. so much so that crosswinds have little, if allY, effect on the cali,. ~'.,. , , The, gear change is the only part of the CX which lives 'up ,to my"original impres-' sions. It is rubbery. What saves it from being ,a total ,disaster is .. the small gate; soquickish' changes are still possible Witho'ut too ,much ,'discomfort';'-

The 2400 will accelerate to oOmph from rest in 11 seconds, and reacnes a maxi­mum speed of 112 mph. At top speed, the car is uncanniiy'qUiet: and' inirprisingly ~conomical. On my test,I paid a f1ying visit to friEmdsciri' Paris·, and"on a round trip'of some 900 miles, averaged 30mpg.

Although a 'family saloon', the ex is very much a drivers car. It's .road manners are. impeccable. How can I describe the excellent roadhofding? She. sUc5ks to the road like .••• to a shovel!, ~o ot,her road users, the'sight of {i"c:x'~<::?,~n-r1ng at speed can be unnerving - the body leans over 'something terrible and', t~,e, tyres scream. In this ·way, the car is typically French! The ride is faultless. Pot holes, undulating surfaces., whatever, the suspension' soaks 'theSE{'Up an'ci' keeps the car on, a,n even ~eel. Quite remarkable. To say that 'RollS'ROYge '~1'~ -the Citroen suspenSion sums it up; ,

')...The big sporting ;on,rove .. yo£ <h. ",., _eh hoo .en'rod on <he decision by the, four Home Rugby ,Unions to ignore the ~dvice of

Sport Ninister ;, Hector Honro, and, inv:Lte a South African Barbarians side to play in, 'this country.

In favour of the tour it is, argued there are no justifiable grounds, for ex­cluding this sporting contact as' tilE~"s'idewi:l'l compi'isebl'ack and coloured (Asian) players as' welt as as white' ones. Furt:hermore how can there be any real objection on political ground~ when our athletes regularly compete with those from behind .the Iron Curtain and will .be participating in the 1.980 Olympics with. Russia as the, ,host country. .

Thos~ agains't 'the: to~r ar,gue that Britain may be prevented from competing in Hosc9w, i£ competitive SpOl:t with South Africa is renewed . It ,is also said thatwh.i:lst'~Rus.sia l1)ay not have the, most perfect 'political system in the world; at l'east its 'sporting 'sides are representative of all classes, of. the population ,which cannot really be sald of South Africa.-Ah!but the 'retort comes -"What about the ,p'olitical dissidents, they do not f(!atUre,very much in Soviet Union, teams -' but ,do they want to anyway? For that matter Ilottoo. 'many Englishmen detained,. at. Her Majesty's pleasure iitWormwood Scrubs will be competing in Hoscow either. ' ,

Fr'ankly i find the logic becomes so tOl:turous that it loses all- sense of credibility. The simple truth is that it is practically feasible to ostra­cise South Africa and still retain intel:national competition, If Russia was also to be excluded (and all the Iron Curtain countries came out in sympathy) then there would be a strong likelihood that World Sport would be split j.nt.o Capitalist<, ~nd Communist blocks. •

Hany ,feel sU,ch ,a' spH.t may.not be such a bad, thing, ·taking t;h~ view thal:c the Olympics 'have been ,rendered farcical by alleged' I:;asl:cEuropean .professj,ona­~ism and drug ,abuse.

Regrettably we, seell\ ',):0 'have departed, a ,long way from ,the aims of Baron Pierre' de Coubertin, :founde'ro'f the modern Games, ,when', he' said<"The impor­tant thing in "the' Olympic Games is not so 'much to. win, 'but to take part, just as the, most important 'thing in l.ife isliot the ,triumph ,but the" struggle" TO' this should 'be 'added"tne c'reed that the, opportunity 'to' participate be open to all regardless of race" religion, riationalityand political beliefs.

The practica11y expedient COUl:se shOUld be scorned because the future pro­sper.ity of all Sport ;ties with the strict adherance by the, Governing bodies ,to those simpl'e valu,es 1

, , ,

It is a chronic 'adinission .of defeat. to ,suggest discontinuing the Olympics. Sure1y 'the better solution is for all administrators to police their games and rigidly ensure' compliance with, the spii:'it as well' as the letter of the law in an a1l ·out attempt to eliminate abu'ses. '

It also follows that, politics should playas little 'part in sport ,as 1's hUmanly possible. The decision to breaK ,off sporting ties ,and/or refuse to participate should be taken with the very greatest reluctance after de­tailed investigation has established breach of the basiC sporting values. With regard to South Africa, it was felt 'the' case was proven and ,they were outlawed from international competition.

Two wrongs do not make a right and I fail to see why comparisons with the Soviet Union's political system should be relevant in determening whether ,sporting contacts should now be renewed. Simtlady the fear of a boycott by black African States ought to be ignored (subject to consideration of the committed obligations under the Gleneagles agreement).

,BACKHILL SPORTLIGHT ..•. (contd.)

The only material factor is for the appropriate Authority to fully satisfy itself that the 'di~ease hasbeeri cured, I, ,am not, in a position to comment on whether the Home Unions have carried out a detailed, enquiry into South ,African Rugby especial·ly at 'grass roots level. It; 'isin'teresting to note that a report ,was compiled recently' for the International Cricket Conference and was believed ,to have, commended the South African Cricket'Union on its efforts to establish non, racia~ and nor­mal cr,icket, in t;he country. ,Doubtless it will be ,a~gued that; similar pro­gress has, ,been m<ide on. the Rugby field. It ,is, ho~e've;-, . verY, quest'ionabl~ whethe;: this s.ort of advance would; still ,have been ll\ade if' South 'Africa had remained part of the World. Sporting Community.

" - ,.. • ~ > ~<

Fo~ my own' part I cannot help but think that the ~ery'make ,up. of the pro­posed Barbarian side (8 white, 8 black, 8, coloured) :j;s.a little contrived'. Furthermore, how can,any-country practising aparth~i~,t~ulY .. ~ay tJ'lere is complete freedom of, opportunity to particrpat~ for .bothb;L,ack, a;i~ white? If there ,is a 'division between races in' Society,' surely, ,'it 'i'si,ne~~table that ,this ,will spillover into Sp.ort and wni:).e itdOEl~: s~, cari'..it really be .said that ,the dise,ase' has been, cured? My rear fear over the decision ,by the Home 'Unions. is. 1.est"they"have, jUmped in at'i:hEi'deep' end ' without first checkinghowfar"{they ;have; got to

'come up': 'for air . If they drown" it may well prevent. anyone' 'else' being able, to swim for many years to come. '

X,, On a lighter note the Italian football season kH:iked off on the ;t'6th'September; It wbuld take 'far more than the: restr"icted space

• ' 'avai-lable for me to set 'out all the happenings during the,;~lose' season., , Suffice it to say that, Rivera .has. retired although not 'before',being

sent off for the first time in, his career during,afriendly.match in . Argentin~' The ·tour was marred by the tragiC death, fi<>:r(I~,~,:he~~;t .a~t.ack of stand-in, trainer Alvaro Gasparini in Buenos Aires To add .to ;Mil:ari',s problems, manager- Nils Liedholm surprisingly niove'd to Rom'a \';Ii~rehewill have Romeo Benetti, ,on 'his playing staff. Massimo' Giacomi'nl :has' left newly promoted Udlnes'e £0 take over the reins atMilano",ft, 'ne was:\ihabletosign Paolo ~Cl!>S.i, who moved· from Lanerossi VicEinz'a' toper,\igia on one -'year' sloan for £ 300 ,000 • . ,

Indeed italian transfer fees have been very modest wnen cqmpare,d ~ith the English Market; The highest close season deal was the £550,000 transfer of Tavola fiomAtalanta to Juventus, although Napoli exchanged their' centre forward'; Beppe'Savoldi, valued at £2 million for Bologna"sWorld .Cup defen.., der, Maur6:Bellugi.

Finally we end .up with a quick look at Italy's representatives in the Euro­pean compe,ti tions; Milan will, of course, be in' the Champi'ons Cup, with perugia, Inter, T0l:'ino, and Napoli in the UEFA C;::up.' .

Guardai in alto e mi accorsi che sopra ~'animaletto volteggiava una grande
