to leave
"1 will leave with mixed
emotions," declares Father
Michael Feeney, Order of St.
Benedict, who came to St.
Edward's Catholic Church in
June of 1973. "I love Shelton
and its people and departure is
difficult; on the other hand, my
return to St. Martin's Abbey in
Lacey will be like going home
for me."
Born in Bremerton and
reared in Seattle, Father Michael
attended St. Martin's College. He
remained to join the religious
community in St. Martin's
Abbey.
"I became a priest in 1946,"
he states, and I was a staff
member of St. Martin's High
School and later I served on the
college staff. This was my life
until I came to Shelton.
"I came here," he adds,
"knowing that according to
custom I would not remain
indefinitely. It was suggested by
a superior that I accept another
assignment a year ago, but I was
able to stay on to complete
certain projects.

Catholics, and I wanted to see it
through. We have also begun a

one or two percent of us - or
20 to 40,000 people - might be
missed entirely in a small group
of animals. To compensate for
this, the dosage is increased so
that it can be determined if the
compound has any cancer
potential at all. If so, the
necessary protective measures
can be taken.
For purposes of testing, what
causes cancer in mice will cause
cancer in men, even if the cancer
in mice has been produced by
large quantities of a substance. A
substance is either cancer-causing
or it is not. It is as dear as that.
What is not clear is the precise

will subject us to closer public
scrutiny than we have ever
before experienced. Thus we are
going to have to be scrupulously
careful about the decisions we
make, or we will leave the
agency open to charges of
insensitivity and bureaucratic
lack of concern for the public.
One of the problems we face
in formulating a cancer policy is
that even scientists do not
understand exactly how or why
cancer develops from exposure
to carcinogens. However, all of
us, regardless of how much or
how little we understand, are
entitled to a voice in formulating
cancer policy, a cancer. When it comes to

I think it is very important
for people to have a dear
understanding, not only of the
testing procedures, but of the
other aspects of programs to
regulate carcinogens because
none of us can actively support
government efforts to control
carcinogens, or even make
personal decisions about what to
eat, drink or smoke, if we are
paralyzed by false impressions
and misinfomaation.

to review and test these
chemicals before they became
established in products, in the
workplace and throughout the
environment.
TOSCA, as it is known, calls
for compilation of an inventory
of all chemicals manufactured or
processed in the United States,
with new chemicals added as
they are introduced into
commerce. This inventory should
be completed this year.
Some of the chemicals in the
inventory have already been
recommended by an interagency
advisory group for testing to
check suspicions that they can
cause cancer and birth defects.
Those substances for which
substantial new uses are
proposed, and those which are
most toxic and have maximum
human exposure or produce
chronic effects will have highest
testing priority.
If a chemical poses an
unreasonable risk, the law offers
several regulatory options -
depending on the degree of risk
- including a ban, restriction of
production, limits on use and
establishment of labeling or
disposal requirements to protect
human health and the
family program in religious
education. Both projects are now FATHER MICHAEL FEENE¥ OSB will be honored at a
