SUPPLEMENTAL Other urgent needs in the Diocese call for a Recreational Center for the Indian C. Y. 0. at Fort Yuma; a Chapel Trailer for the Franciscan Padres who make long treks in their missionary zeal among the far-flung tribes of the Red men who have been pushed back and back into the moun- tains-far from any church; the re- habilitation and proper maintenance of old Catholic Cemeteries, as at San Bernardino, Del Mar, Brawley and San Diego; the erection of new Cemeterie~ where the people have re- quested them. NOTANDA Before embarking on this cam- paign, a committee of business men made accurate surveys to determine the wealth of Catholics in the four counties comprising the Diocese of San Diego. The giving of $200,000 is well within the means of our people. In fact, they don't have to give until it hurts to reach this quota.

In many dis- tricts where the poor people are scat- tered for miles in the outposts of civilization, shall poverty deprive them of a priest when the name of Jesus must be carried to the ends of the world? DEBT LIQUIDATION Through the trying years of the depression, pastors struggled and economized to meet the interest on the principal debt of their parishes. The burden still weighing on the Otherwise to twice or even three times the original cost. For example: one parish in the Diocese has already paid to the banks $22,000 interest on a $29,000 obligation - what business men would rerm "poor business". In this campaign 25 % of the returns from Gach parish will be applied to the principal debt of that parish. BISHOP'S HOME A mortgage foreclosure made pos- sible the purchase of a dignified resi- dence for the Ordinary of the Diocese and his successors. This home was had for about one-fourth of its original cost - acquired, remodeled, and furnished on borrowed money. It should be debt free. Like the great religious orders of the Church, a Diocese builds not for an individual nor for today-but for ages of fu- ture generations. The Catholics of this Diocese need never be ashamed of the home provided for their Bishop. THE CHANCERY St. Joseph• s Hall, 1528 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, has been trans- formed into the Diocesan Offices, in- cluding the editorial sanctum of The Southern Cross, our official publi- cation, recently purchased by the Diocese, and the general offices of Holy Cross Cemetery. A temporary loan was negotiated to make these improvements and to supply the ne- cessary equipment. -6- the interest mounts
