Served Two Years In Cambodia Poor Special To Area Nun By RUTH HEIMBUECHER Sometimes, in the middle of the night, in the quiet of the convent, Sister Rose Catherine Dalle Tezze wakes from an already restless sleep. She thinks about the earthquake in Peru and the people who were killed. Some she knew well-Sister Gabriella, killed with Sister Edith, the nun from Pittsburgh; Father Bede, prior of the monastery in Juaraz, killed while he was feeding children; thousands of people in Chimbote and other towns, killed. Sister Rose Catherine had a special stake in the lives of the Chimbote people. She lived among them for two years, working in conjunction with the Alliance for Progress under the auspices of Caritas del Peru, a Catholic organization dedicated to helping the world's poor.

During her stay, Sister Rose Catherine became deeply involved in social work, visiting families, prisons, making speeches, talking with people and teaching them. Tried To Stir Citizens With other missionary priests and sisters, she tried to make the people of Chimbote aware of their own dignity and responsibilities toward themselves, their families and community. "Many of them had come down from the mountains looking for utopia in the city, and finding instead misery, hunger and death," she said. "They stayed in the hopes of making some money so they could move on to Lima." When Sister Rose Catherine visited the Chimbote prison, she went as a teacher.

New York Mansion Museum For Collection Frick Art 'Lives' In House By NORMAN NADEL, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK In the stage musical, "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever," a young doctor says to his girl: "I'm going up to see the Frick Collection." To which she responds: "What's a Frick?" The line was good for a laugh, for Frick stands for possibly the finest private art collection now public in the world. Quietly, modestly and discreetly, the way it always has conducted its affairs, the Frick Collection is observing its 50th birthday, in the same year that New York's Metropolitan and the Boston Museum are celebrating their 100th.

Frick Young Millionaire It was just a century ago that Henry Clay Frick purchased his first painting in Pittsburgh. The 21-year-old industrialist had launched his company there. It manufactured coke, a coal derivative used in making steel. Success, however, wasn't instantaneous; young Frick was in his late 20s before he made his first million dollars. As Frick got richer, he acquired more paintings, sculpture and fine furnishings.

Fortunately, the level of his taste ascended with his phenomenal earnings. Altogether, he bought about 1,000 paintings. Some were traded for others, and only 130 of the finest became part of the present collection. In 1905 he and his wife moved their home and their art to New York to escape the air pollution caused by the steel mills in Pittsburgh. Ironically, Pittsburgh's air today is cleaner than New York's.

However, under the ures were bequeathed to the house that occupies the block on 71st streets, in 1913-14. Frick Frick stayed on until her death in philanthropist's will, it and its treaspublic.

"Some told me that their terms were long overdue, and they didn't have enough money to pay the corrupt judge to get their freedom." In the course of her walks through the prison, she learned that those who were there for Back in Pittsburgh since fall, she has been taking classes at Duquesne University (she is a graduate of Carlow College), and teaching at St. Francis Xavier School on the North Side.

On June 25, she leaves again -this time for Idaho, to work with Mexican migrants for the summer. In September, she'll return to Pittsburgh to work for the master's degree at the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. And then? Sister Rose. Catherine gives the answer that is obvious--for her. "I hope to go back to the underdeveloped countries." She calls them "the third world." A native of Claridge, Sister Rose Catherine has been a member of the Sisters of Mercy since 1948.

students were admitted while Mrs. Frick still resided there, but by 1935 it had been remodelled and opened to everyone. Frick also left a $15 million endowment for maintenance of the collection, further acquisitions, and "programs for encouragement of study of the arts." The sum, carefully invested, has nearly tripled since then, despite expenditures for 30 additional great paintings, remodeling and maintenance of the museum, with its permanent staff of 75. The Frick is distinguished from most other museums primarily by the quality and rarity of the collection itself: by El Greco's intimidating "Saint Jerome" and a self-portrait by Rembrandt, to cite just two. Many Visits Needed One visit, or even a dozen, will not suffice.

For example, the visitor who just looks at paintings, will miss the small bronzes, and the Frick has best collection of them in America. there are the rare enamels, porcelains, drawings, carpets, furniture and silver. Yet the treasures are not the whole attraction. Frick had wanted, and architect Thomas Hastings had designed, a building which would be a home for his art as well as for his family. After his death, it was transformed from a home into an institution.

In recent times, director Harry D. M. Grier and his staff have been changing it from an institution back into a home. Clocks tick. Flowers are real and fresh.

The house breathes and lives, and it refreshes the spirit of all who come to visit. In preparation is a complete catalogue of the Frick Collection. It will run to nine volumes, four of which have been published and are on sale at cost $20 per volume. The set will be completed in 1974. A more modest but still striking publication is "Masterpieces of the Frick Collection," with text by Edgar Munhall (Viking, 120 $14.95) which has just appeared.

Princess Gives Hat A Lift LONDON (UPI) "Anne of the Thousand Hats," as she is known, is the happiest thing that has happened to the millinery industry in London. Anne is the princess, whose penchant for wearing headgear of all shapes and styles has just about revolutionized the millinery scene. All the other Annes and Marys and Victorias are copying what she wears. The styles the princess has worn recently range from her pink turban whose long floating scarf blew across her face when she was in Australia and provoked an expletive from Anne that was well publicized. The princess also loves cowboy hat copies, worn slantwise and trimmed with leather bands or gilt chains.

So I bought one of those nice, soft, inexpensive sheet blankets, full size. I laid it out on the floor, and carefull folded it so the bottom edge met the top, and pinned it together. As it was for a little girl's crib, I hand-stitched across it in a diamond pattern with pink thread, and added pink blanket binding to the narrow ends. (These may be later used on the child's youth bed too.) Now my little girl has a nice soft, light blanket that is just the right size. MRS.

FRAN PARKER Take a bow, luv, you really deserve it! You just can't beat the ol' saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned." Boy Scouts Prepared Dear Heloise: Whenever my scout troop goes on hikes we sexual offenses slept in beds. Those who were there for other crimes had to sleep on the cement floor. Prisoners had no bathroom privileges at night. They were beaten and deprived of foods for days. An investigator was sent for, but when he arrived, the prisoners were afraid to speak.

But it is a trifle human misery and in the crime the drug problem." Those words mainline it to wipe out the growing scourge of the new generation. "If you want an free of the drug menace, you will have to work for it," says Alice Shiller, a writer in tne health and social "Know about legislation needs and work toward more effective laws and law enforcement. Calling All Parents "Blast away at some com- fortable stereotypes. For instance, the dope pushers among the young are not likely to be evil old men tempting your children, but may actually turn out to be their own friends sharing their fantasies for free, or dealing in drugs to get enough money to support their own habits." "School officials describe current legal efforts in the schools to stop student pushers as the "revolving door system'," says Miss Shiller.

"Too often, they say, the student pusher is arrested, taken to court and released on (then) more popular than ever before because he has 'beaten the system'." Calling on all parents to get involved in efforts to wipe out drug abuses, Miss Shiller says that "just writing a check for a donation to private institutions helping young drug users may not be enough. Moneyraising in large amounts may enjoyed them and showed them all year long. Guess we'll do the same thing again this year. A READER Bet a lot of dad's could give you a big hug for that little gift suggestion. You know (and bless their hearts for it), they can be so very pleased over a shirt and tie.

I think that a gift like this might just put a little extra sparkle into dad's eyes and who deserves it more?

PAULEY cost of the cure for drug addicin comparison to the cost in of not doing anything about parents and others who want to be needed in your community to help those who help your children or help your children to help themselves." Parents On The Alert Miss Shiller examines the whole youth drug scene in a new publication from the Public Affairs Committee, a nonprofit Affairs Committee, a nonprofit educational organization with headquarters i in New York.

"Drug Abuse And Your Child" is its title. Statistics on drug abuse are "fragmentary," she says. But it's estimated that 20 million Americans have smoked marijuana. And the documentation is there for the deaths of 224 teen-agers in New York City in 1969 from overdose of drugs. So are such headline case histories as death Diane Linkletter, daughter of the entertainer, who was a victim of the effects of LSD.

Alert parents should watch for such clues to drug abuse as punctures on the arms, the paraphernalia for injection, glazed eyes, enlarged pupils, sunglasses worn constantly, drowsy behavior, slurred speech, prescription drugs disappearing from the medicine chest, tubes of cement and airplane glue around, and the constant borrowing or money manipulation with family or friends. What To Do About It What's a parent to do? Provide "natural defenses" for the child, for one thing. AT HOME in Crafton after a Florida honeymoon are Mr. and Mrs. David L.

Gallaher who were wed recently in St. Rosalia's Church. Parents of the bride, the former Arlene Costello, are Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Costello of Greenfield.

The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanton Gallaher of Mount Washington. "Studies have shown that children who come from families where the parents show a warm, attentive concern are much less likely to be attracted to drugs. Furthermore, many youngsters involved in social causes avoid excessive drug use Youngsters with religious affiliations are less likely to be drawn into drugs," she says.

But don't moralize and preach, if your child needs help. He needs your love and understanding. Point out the realities of his situation: The danger of psychological dependence and what could happen to him (or her) if arrested for using marijuana or even for being present when others are using it. Don't just lecture him. Listen to what he has to say.

Community resources can help. So can your doctor, your church or synagogue, and the special groups now working with the addict. Couple Ends Honeymoon In Florida The marriage of Mary Lou Settembrino, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
