"Personal contact is the beot means of establish!n,; good relationslups be- tween a bishop and his priests," he said. "We definitely have a high morale here. A good spirit is very important. When you have it, that !pirit is reflected by the parishioners. "Very few of our priests have left. We haYe had a few. We have had prob- lems. But we ham had 1 ery, very little trouble.

"His problem was solved instantly," the bishop re- called. "He was given an- other assignment; he was happy, the problem fad- ed." He said that the priests of the four-county San Diego diocese, including Irish, Dutch, B e 1 g i an, :Mexicatt, E n g 1 i s h and .American clergy, had been •a~al amated successful- ' i one solid group."
