(CP) khoman Catholics, as a group, fail to assume their share of community responsibilities, Catholic layman told members of St. Joseph's Parent-Teacher Association Sunday. Tony Fredo, city editor of the Niagara Falls, Ont., Evening Review, said Catholics outnum- ber Presbyterians five to one in Niagara Falls but there are twice as many Presbyterians engaged in community-service organizations. Mr. Fredo said Catholics de- veloped "a group inferiority compilex"' because of anti-Cath- olic prejudices which existed until recent years. The old barriers have crum- bled, he said, and bigots no Catholics still won't assume their proper role in the com- munity. Even in the church they're too inclined to leave everything to the clergy and perhaps the laity isn't completely to blame because in many instances, the clergy wants it that way, he said. ~ Windsor Gals Cop Senior Cage Title MONTREAL (CP)--A_ Wind- sor, Ont., team in its first year of operation won the Canadian women's Senior B_ basketball . championship Saturday, defeat- ing another fledgling club from the University of Montreal 52-22.
