di
Don Roberto Russo
Cari amici,
ci sono dei momenti durante
l' anno in cui si ripetono le
stesse cose e 'io, con queste
mie due parole, ripeto gli
stessi principi, anche se
cambiano le parole; la con."
c1usione rimane la ~stessa.J1
fatto et che cambiano le
persone a cui si riferiscono
alcuni avvenimenti: e, ri,guardo a noi che rimaniamo
fuori' della
mischia,
fa
sempre bene sentire alcuni
pensieri che ci serviranno
nel futuro 0 che possiamo e
vivere meglio, ora che iI
nostro tempo e' superato in
alcune ci rcostanze.
Quello infatti su cui io
voglio attirare I'attenzione
di tutti noi e' proprio
sui
Sacramenti della ~Cresima e
della Coniuriione. Li abbiamo
ormai avuti nella nostra
Chiesa. Sono stati una cosa
meravigliosa con la Chiesa
piena di parenti,amici, fotografi. Per le Cresime ab,.
biamo avuto iI nuovo Vescovo ,Mons. John Crowley. J
'ragazzi che hanno ricevuto
iI Sacramento erano ottanta.
Giovanotti e signorine. Quasi
.tutti questi giovani hanno
cominciato la loro preparazione fra novembre e dicembre: giovani grandi, belli,
grossi, forti, intelligenti Dear Young Friends,
as you saw, the months of
.April and May were dedicated to your friends, those
,in
particular
who
were
.making their First Communion and their Confirmations,
not only in this, but in
other Churches as well.
For the younger of them,
First Communion.was their
'first direct c(>ntact ".
with Jesus. God's presen'ce
4'
che ·vanno· a' scuola 0 lavorano
tutta la settimana e
e che la domenica alle 11
per un ora sono venuti alia
preparazione, da tutte le
parti di I:.ondr~
.
Sono andati anche in ritiro
per due giorni' interi con i
· loro genhori.perfino un
ragazzo che ha avuto un
incidente stradale, e' venuto
· alia preparazione
con
i
bastoni.
....
•
Poi abbiamo avuto le Prime
Comunioni; meno giovani et
chiaro, anzi non giovani, mli
'bambini e ,bambine. Chiesa
piena, festa di 'famiglia e di
amici e di Chiesa.• Erano
una quarantina:" hanno cominciato 'Ia preparazione a
novembre;
Ogni ·domenica
.alle 11;. ·maper loro era un
divertimento. Si
trovavano
insieme. Non cosi' anche.
per i genitori"che, anche
Joro, si dovevano muovere da.
ogni parte dL Londra, accompagnare i figli, aspettar, Ii, tornare a ~asa, cucinare.
•
Ma avete fatto bene: avete
fatto tutti quanti un sacrificio che vi ha aiutato ad avvicinarvi a Dio. Non dico
che la vita di famiglia sara'
sempre' felice e serena. E
non per colpa vostra 0 per
colpa dei figli; ma perche'
which has been in their soul
since Baptism, now receives
the body and divinity of
Christ, opening up a new
spiritual
world,
full
of
Christ'S goodness - a world
full of faith, hope, courage
and kindness. This world
into which the children of
the First Communion have
entered is a world well
understood and accepted, by
· those young people ~ who
were Confirmed.
i
non sappiamo quale e' iI
piano di Dio sulla vita personale di ognuno e sulla
vita delle famiglie. Dio PlJ.0'
eiltrare nella' vita di tutti
noi .chiamandoci
con una
' .
, vocazlOne .speciale' che e'
quella del dolore,. per cui
la famiglia cam mina verso
Dio seguendo la strada della
Croce.
Aiutando
direttamente Gesu' nella redenzione del mondo con iI
dolore personale. E' la via
verso la Pasqua eterna della
Risurrezione, da. dove iI sorriso eterno dei giovani, dei
figli, dei genitori, dei nonni
.sara I una lece. per coloro
che camminano nella speranza
coraggiosa di. ogni
•
glOrno terreno.
, . '
•
Per :questo diciamo a voi
giovani e a voi genitori che
avete· fatto bene ad impegnarvi con sacrifici e forse,
anzi senza forse, rinunciando
a• qualche cosa che vi faceva
comodo.
Che iI vostro esempio possa
essere seguito dagli altri
che si avvicinano ai Sacramenti; e che sia di orgoglio
per coloro che hanno gia'
.seguito la vostra stiada.
You have been called by
God to be his apostles, to
preach and make the GospeJ
a part of .Your life. A life
of prayer, which will bring
goodness into your family,
and to your friends. Into
your work and when you
enjoy yourselves. It is a life
which enters the world with
faith and hope in God's
presence.

British Museum exhibition of
Italian Renaissance Ceramics.
sponsored by EniChem.

-
The :uperb, subtly glazed
ceramiCS, made in Italy in"
the 15th and 16th centuries ,
are a product of the golden
age. of European pottery
makmg. They also provide a
unique visual stimulus to
enhance
understanding
of
the social,
political
and
artistic' influences in what
was probably the most crea~ive
peri?d. in European
hlst~ry. MalOhca is the only
renaissance art whose colours, kiln-fired, have come
down to the 20th century
with thei r freshness
untouched"
.
An operative element in the
durability of ceramic. art
since etruscan times is boric
anhy<.\ride .(B203). .~ glass
formmg qXlde, boron is instr~mental in achieving the
deSired blend of chemical ,
thermal•
and • mechanical
properties essential to cer~mics. It perlllits preparation• of glazes with low .cunng temperatures while,
at. the same time, it in•
creases resistance
to thermal..shocks and grazing. In
addition boron acts as a
solvent with colorant oxides,
thus making it possible to
utilise. a
wide range of
colours. - -•

Technology and the preservation of priceless works
of art are inseparable. siblings. This vital link is evident at the British Museum's
current
"Ceramic Art
of the Italian Renais~ance"
exhibition. The exhibition
appropriately
enough ,
i~
sponsored
by
an
Italian
group, the chemical manufacturer, EniChem.
Technology, centuries old, is
wha;t . has kept the precious
exhibits of Maiolica ceramics (opening May 7th) in
mint condition for over .500
years.

Boron is also one of the
diverse chemicals in EniChem's multi product portfolio. The expanding use of
ceramics technology in the
aerospace and automotive,
industries has led to. substantial growth in basic
chemical applications. The
Italian group's range also
includes plastics, chemicals,
synthetic rubber and latex,
detergent
intermediates,
fine chemicals, fibres, agricultural chemicals and engineering materials.

The maiolica pharmacy jar
in the foreground is one of
the key exhibits. Dating
from. 1511 - 1520, the jar
bears the symbols of the
notable Colonna and Orsini
families, and makes reference
to a grand reconciliation
after generations of feuding.
The

exhibition continues until
September 20th.

66.737

contro i 77.318 del 1984 e
gli 85.138 del 1983.
Un esame piu' dettagliato rileva il Segretario generale
dell' UCEI Giuseppe Lucrezio
Monticelli - mette in evidenza che le' tendenze qui
segnalate riguardano in maniera preponderante i paesi
europei, in particolare la
Repubblica
Federale
di
Germania.
Possiamo sintetizzare la situilZione del 1985 nei seguenti'
termini:
per
gli
espatriati si e' verificata
una diminuzione complessiva
di 10.581 unit a I, delle quali
9.956 riguardano paesi europei (di esse 6.508 la Germanfa); per i rimpatriati una
diminuzione di 9.725 unita ' ,
(4.895
dalla
Germani~);
6
Saldi positivi per il totale
(540) e I'oltremare (707);
negativo per I'Europa (-167,
risultante dalla somma di un
saldo positivo per la Germania e di uno negativo
per quasi tutti gli altri
paesi europei). Per quanto
concerne in particolarei
paesi estra-europei, il dott.
Lucrezio annota infine che il
movimento ad essi relativo
costituisce da anni una frazione non rilevante di quello
complessiv.o: per gli espatri
il 24% nel 1985 e il 25% nel
1984; per i rimpatri, rispettivamente, il 22% ed il 26%.
Anche il
movimento per
I'oltremare si e' ridotto, ma
in misura piu' contenuta:
rispetto al 1984, il 4% per
gli espatriati (16.151 nel
1985 e 16.776 nel 1984) ed

del '20%~ ·per i rimpatriati
il 10,5% per i rimpatriati
(16.858 e 18.636). 11 saldo,

Dear Editor,
Mention' the outdoor procession to the old folk of the
Italian
community
and
they will always recall the
North Hyde Boys Band.
I
wonder if any of your
many readers or yourself
could supply some information about them?
If my memory serves me
right some of the regular
the British
bands were
Legion
Military
Band;
Willesden Silver Band and
the Fulham Borough Prize
Band.
Maybe these bands
have been forgotten, but,
it's different with those
"boys in green".

In last month's BACKHILL we reported on BBC Radio Bedfordshire's "Mondo Italiano". This
month we publish an' interview with two of the programme's presenters - Gerald Maine and
Anna Rossi.
..
,
Who is "Mondo Italiano"?
G.M. Well essentially irs the
three of us, me Gerald Maine,
Anna Rossi, and Mario Cataldo.
The BBC employ me as a
staff person to produce the
programme and I'm· over.:.
seer. Anna i:> !1 secretary
here and' presenter
too,
which ji; unusual•. Essentially
from the community, Mario·
comes in on a voluntary
basis. So it's really the
three of us.
Where did the idea for
"Mondo Italiano" come from?
G.M.
The BBC
has a com•
•
mltment to ethnic broadcasting, a tell~ we don'.t like,
but we're stuck with it.
When the station was set up,
18 months ago, we looked
around
at
the
different
communities, and Bedfordshire is a very unusual
county in as much as 30%
of the community who live
in Bedford can claim to be
ethn1cs of one sort or another,
whether
they
be
Italian, Asian, African, Irish,
Scottish, whatever. So there
was obviously a need to
look at those communities
in greater depth, and we did
it purely on a percentage
basis,
the
Italian
community being one of the
largest
groups.
.
•
How long did it take to
plan "Mondo Italiano" as a
show?
G.M. We started off with
all sorts of names - "Mondo
Italiano", the name itself
came up about one hour before we needed a name for
the Radio Times billing,
which was four weeks before the station. came on air.
The planning .f9J the actual
programme 'Itself
started
more or le~s. ~ 'six months
before hand,~ :,when staff
star~ed coming' 't6gether•.
When

was the .first
p'rog-
•
ram me?
G.M. The 24th of June, the
first week of the station.
So the programme was planned at the same time as
,the \;\'hole station was being
planned,
an 'integral part
of the station?:
.
.
as
~G.M.
Yes, there was a, six
'months build up to it actmilIy going on air, and a concentrated build up of about
2 months, when we were
doing dummy' programmes
for nobody apart from ourselves, just rehearsing.
A.R. There was a build up
of getting music and that
sort of thing together, what
you might' call material I
suppose.
How did you link up with
the local community? You
obviously don't operate in a
vacuum, and you seem to
be very much involved with
what's happenning?
A.R. Essentially Mario is
the link. Originally there
was a lot of publicity before
the station went on air and
there were various meetings
introducing
the
station
and that's where Gerald met
Mario.
G.M. The BBC always does
a series of meetings before
they launch a station to say
what they're going to do
and also to ask the public:
what they really want from
the station. All the programme producers were on
stage at the Corn· Exchange,
a big assembly hall in town,
saying what they were going
to do. This little Italian
bloke at the back •collared
•
me as I was leaVing the
meeting and asked me what
I was going to do about the
Italian show? This of course
was Mr Cataldo and we took
it from there. But as for
our links with the Com'munity, Mario's knowledge of
the community is great.
A.R.lt's quite an interesting
exercise, because I didn't
actually know Mario at that
stage ~ither as such, although I knew him as a
name, and so the three
little corners, pulled together. .
How do you get your feedback from your listeners?
,,
,
A.R: My best place' for
feedback is when.l go and
do my shopping in the
Italian shops in Bedford!
That's where I find that a
lot of people have lots to
say about the programme ". • • what about. this,' and
what about trying that..." what
better feedback
. than from these types of
people, the ordinary Italian
in the street as it were,
our own listeners.
Do you find that you're
getting .both positive and
negative feedback, or is it
purely - "This is wonderful,
•
keep it up"?
G.M. There's certainly an
element of that - but we've
had our critics. On the
whole though it been positive criticism, and we do
respond to it. Take our
music for example. At one
stage we were playing too
much contemporary stuff,
and a few people started
to make the point - "Don't
forget the first generation,
don't forget the 60's", and
we took that very much to
heart and responded to it.
•
A.R. You've got to remember also that the programme
has been half an
hour
longer since December as a ,
result of public. (and Mario's)
demand.
Is there any chance of you
getting any bigger?
~.M.
No, I don't think so
because looking at it from
a BBC point of view, that's
• •
a very senSItive
area: expand one part of the ethnic
group
and
immediately
,,
•
\,
,
,
,
(
someone else wants' more.
The Asian ,community have
got two hours and in fact
we're not doing as much
Italian broadcasting as we
are to the Asian or indeed
the Afro Caribbean' communities and that was one
of the pressures that caused
us to do an extra half hour.
Apart from the problem of
that balance, with the resources available, if, we
were to
expand anymore we'd end up playing
more and more music, I
gues~,
and
the
balance
would shift.
How long does it take to
prepare a 90 minute programme that goes out once a
week?
A.R. Actual sit down at a
desk time and doing it takes
the best part of an afternoon at least. In addition
there's
always
something
going on during the week.
This week for example I
spent two evenings doing
interviews, all of' which
goes towards the end product.
G.M. It, works out to about
a day of my production
til1Je, about 20% of my work
load , and about. one.., and a
half days for Anna and
Mario.,
,
Can you tell us a bit about
the balance of the 'prog~
ramme - what goes into the
programme and how d~' you
come to a decision about
what • goes in and what
doesn't?
G.M. The most imp'ortant
part of the programme is
the news because no one
else is doing- it - that's
all part of the BBC's thin'king - news, education, etc••
You do that both in English
and Italian?
G.M. Yes, because of the
first generation Italian not
having the grasp of English.
The three of us had to
battle hard to achieve this,
because the policy of the
BBC is to put ethnic programmes on air only in
English,
which
is
crazy
when looked: at, in the Italian
presenters. The Asian comcontext. When you consider
that there are maybe three ' munity were a little' more

- Remove fluff, dust and
hairs from velvet with a
clothes brush lightly sprinkled with methylated spirits.
If the pile of your velvet

hang them in the bathrooU:
occasionally

let
the
steam rejuvenate them •
- When sewing hems, break
off the thread at frequent
intervals, instead of doing
the whole thing with a single thread. If one part
comes undone, you will
have only a small section
to sew - it will not unravel
along the whole hem.
- When small knots appear
on your sweater, take a
piece of fine sandpaper and
gently
rub
over
them.
They will disappear and the
sweater will look like new.
They can also be carefully
s~aved off
with a razor
blade.
- Is your favourite dress
worn out? Unpick it, press
the pieces, and uSe this
ready-made
pattern
for
making something else. It
should be a perfect fit.

- When a colourless polish
is .needed for a handbag, try
usmg pure colourless beeswax funiture polish.
-When packing a pleated
skirt, fold lengthways and
pull
through
an
empty
cardboard tube. This keeps
the pleats perfect, so when
you reach your destination
it won't look crumpled.

However, if they do gather

A Stitch in Time
Are you constantly mending
or sewing? Here are a few
hints that will save you
time and effort.
,
- Keep a sewing kit tied
to your ironing board for
•
•
mstant repairs.
- Rinse out an empty roll-:
on deodorant bottle and fill
.- When peispiration leaves
a stain ori white fabric,
bleach
with
well-diluted
hydrogen peroxide, rinse and
dry outdoors. To revive
colours on patterned fabric,
sponge the marks with a
weak solution of vinegar
before washing.
- A good way' to remove a
light scorch mark from
white fabric. is to place a
clean cloth dampened with
hydrogen pemxide over the
stained area, Cover with a
clean dry cloth and press
lightly with a warm iron.
Repeat if necessary.
- If a shirt collar is particularly dirty, rub shampoo
'. into it before washing.
- After sewing buttons on,
dot the thread with colourless nail polish. This keeps
them on longer and reduces
the risk of a lost button.
- A persistent ink mark can
be removed with milk - the
hotter
and
sourer
the
better.
-' When stitching through
tough fabric like denim,
push the needle through a
cake of soap first. This will
make the needle
glide
through the fabric much
•
easier.
- White correction fluid is
often difficult to remove, so
you
must
act
quickly~
Make sure you scrape it off
the garment as soon as it
is spilled, then dab the
mark. with a little drycleamng fluid.
- If you have any torn lace,
try mending it by brushing
a little colourless nail varnish over. the torn edges
and pressing them firmly
together. The mend will
not show ahd"can be laundered easily.
Gioia
Stain Removers
If your favourite outfit has
a persistent stain, "chances
are there will be something
you can use to remove it.
- A lipstick mark on a
favourite blouse can be best
dealt with by dampening
the marks and rubbing them
with glycerine or eucalyptus
oil. Use hydrogen peroxide
solution to bleach out remaining colour on· whites. ,- -

It has been 7 years since
two Italians contested a
Grand Prix Tournament final
but at Bari in April Claudio
Pistolesi and Francesco Cancellotti ended the sequence.
Pistolesi
accounted
for
Krickstein (seeded 2), C.
Panatta, Davin and Stenlund
before winning the tough
three set final against' his
compatriot. Cancellotti beat
Lopes-Maeso, Yunis, Tulasne the top seed and De
La Pena (third• seed) to register his best performance
for two years.
Mezzadri charge but' not
without a struggle. Wilander,
complete with new serve
(much improved I might
add), accounted for the holder Gomez. Cane' alas also
came to grief. The durable
clay court specialist, Jaite,
was his conqueror in 3 sets.
Nystrom progressed at the
expense of his higher seeded
countryman, Kent Carlsson.

brought down to earth after

Lendl and Noah had also

rounds.
Mezzadri
accounted for the 5th seed,
Leconte, with a series of
booming
forehand
passes.
Cane' too played well to
beat Svensson the 12th seed.
John McEnroe, playing in
the Foro Italico ,for the
first time, must have had
designs on the title despite
getting in a tangle against
Davin in the first round. He
was improving as the tournament
progressed.

In the previous round CarIsson had been accused of
barging over his opponent
Emilio Sanchez in retaliation to persistent coaching
from the sidelines by ,the
Spaniards coach- WiIlie Alvarez. Alvarez, it fiery player
in his time, appears not to
have mel10wed with age. In
the course of the championship he was accused of punching an AustrlUian player
and spitting at a journalist.

down these unsavoury episodes Alvarez could do wor.,

having sacked his coach,
Guenther Bosch, and attempting to readjust his
game may not be in an

and Wilander are the current men in form but Edberg has developed a troublesome injury that, may
wel1 delay his preparations
and Wilander has always experienced traumatic difficulties in adjusting his game to
grass. Lendl and McEnroe
seem to have developed
confidence problems of late
whilst Mecir and Noah still
suffer from erratic tenden· cies. Of the rest, only Leconte and Cash are capable
of raising thei r game for a
fortnight. American hopes
will be resting on Mayotte
and Gilbert; outside of
McEnroe. Al1 things being
equal I am going for a
Becker-Edberg final, with
Mecir as the most likely
to upset my pr,ediction.
Watch out though for Horst
Skoff, an 18 year old
Austrian who may be one
for the future.

was whilst performing .this
delicate manoeuvre last Friday evening that I came
across the Channel 4 open

the subject of football.

The panel covered a wide
spectrum from a retired

the

studies right down to those
who have actually played

itself, or was treated, too
seriously. It was. significant
that without any furthe'r
prompting, the panel almost
as if on auto pilot managed
to
bring
the
discussion
round to the subject of'
hooliganism and racism in
football.

There is a certain irony in
my own' support of the
Luton scheme because you
will have seen. in
last
month's article that I was
.storigly . advocating freedom·
of spi ri t 'and of .the individual. It cannot be denied:
that the banning of 'away
supporters
at
Luton's
ground is the denial of a
basic right of freedom. By
the 'same token, 'it is not an
exaggeration to say' that
many supporters are deterred from
going to the
game because they are in
fear from the hooligan elemilnt. It is to try and encourage
such
people

I have heard tales even in
the immediate post war
years of violent behaviour
at Fratton Park when Portsmouth were playing at home
but am generally prepared
to accept that the very
much larger crowds in the
late 1940's were considerably better behaved than
their smaller modern day
counterparts.
By the same token, I very
much doubt if the newspaper of that earlier era
were
having
to
recount
stories of brutal mugging!!
and beatings up of elderly
pensioners. Perhaps .the answer lies n the fact that
40 years ago, Society had
had its fill of 'violence
with hardly a family being
untouched by the ravages
of War. The desire to release aggresion had been
fully satiated whereas in
today's more protected environment it has not.
In my view, therefore, football does not have the ariswer to hooliganism unless
the Government has a solution to the much bigger
problem facing Society ,at
large. All the footballing
authorities can do is embark
upon a 'damage limitation
exercise. The
segregation
of fans, strict supervision
Needless to say, it was
not long before the televised' discussion posed the
(to me, irrelevant) question
as to whether football was
a working class game. This
myth has long been used
by many to try and explain
why football suffers the
-row.dY element but other
sports such as Rugby Union
do not, even though the
speetatorsat Twickenham
·often consume vast amounts
of alcohol. Sadly, the disease seems to be spreading,
and I was appalled to see
that the recent John Player
final between Wasps and
Bath was actually abandoned
two minutes before the end
because of crowd trouble.
The cricketing authorities
have also had to tackle the
same
problem

dabate.
The media editor of the
musical
paper
pointedly
stated that he would love
to see a football match
between 11 men from a
Council Estate and 11 Old
Etonians. He left no one
in any doubt as to which
side he would be putting
his money on. The Old Etonian philosopher, Professor
Freddie Ayres said that he
too would be on the side
of the working classes. His
answer rather disappointed
me. I was hoping that

Perhaps the most significant
mqment in the discussion
came
when
Terry
Neill
was waxing lyrically about,
the skills of Ge()rge Best
in comparison to those of
Kevin
Keegan.
He
was
swiftly interrupted by the
Chairman saying that the
trouble
with
footballers
was when they got on to
the subject of their own
game all they wanted to
talk about was the relative
merits of Matthews, Finney
and Co. He promptly guided
the conversation back to
the working classes, sexism
and racism which is clearly
where he thought the real
issues of football lay. It
was at this ,point that I
turned off the television
and went to bed. The programme was listed as possibly lasting until 3 a.m.
It may be that if I had
stayed
up
longer,
the
conversation
would
eventually have got round to
Matthews and Finney but
somehow I doubted it. You
see for me, it is the great
players of the past, the
great matches, great goals'
and great saves that, football is all about. I do not

Meanwhile, there has been
much to applaude in the
sporting world since I last
put pen to paper. As a
great Steve Davis fan, I
was getting a little worried
when Joe Johnson got back
to within one frame in
the World Snooker Final.
After two successive soul
destroying defeats in the
last two finals, Davis showed his true championship
qualities· by keeping his
nerve and pulling away to
win. For me, Davis epitomises the true champion.
He has a ~org-like quality
with his ability to keep
ice cool under pressure
and not demonstrate the
emotion which he must be
feeling and which is affecting all who watch.
In football, it was a joy
to see the sheer delight
on the faces of George
Curtis and John SilIett when
Coventry lifted the I".A.
Cup. For my part, I could
not help but recall some of
the articles written by , your'
of Paul Mariner. On last
Saturday's performance, it
may well be a case of
"what might have been" and
I still feel he is a better
bet now than Mark Hateley.
Nevertheless, strikers are
not a problem for Bobby
Robson at the moment, with
Peter Beardsley and Gary
Lineker teaming up so perfectly.
If space had permitted, I
would also have liked to
discuss the proposal that
Tennis be admitted into
the next Olympic Games.
Before passing any comment
on this topic, however, I
would
welcome
debating
the matter with our Tennis
Scribe, Signor John Belli
(he who picked Maori Venture) at Epsom on June
3rd. Anyone fancy a small
ante-post wager on Ajdal
for the Ever Ready Derby?
