THE SOUTHERN CROSS, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1969

Palm Trees Blessed for 9 Missions (Contmiudfrompage 1) asked that God bless "our three intrepid astronauts." Spoke in Spanish Before concluding the Arch• bishop said a few words in Spanish for those of Spanish and Mexican descent at the cross ceremony and ended with "Viva Espana." "Viva!" replied the crowd, "Viva America!" Dedicated in 1913, the 28-foot Serra Cross marks the site where Father Serra first planted his own crude wooden cross to found his first mission. A flower wreath was placed at the foot of the symbolic cross by Flora Riera, tour leader of a 25- member group of Spaniards who capie from Mallorca, wher Father S~rra was born, to j oin in the bicentenary celebra Uons. The Mallorcan delegation, which also marched in the trek, was headed by Dr Antonio Bauza, Mayor of Petra, who heads the Centre Museum of Petra and the Association of Friends of Father Junipero Serra. Archbishop Furey had visited Mallorca last October and in- vited island citizens to come lo San Diego for its bicentennial.

He i to go forth to a new land, leave his flock and his friends, and build a new following in response to a call, a call just as unmistakeable today as Abraham's was so many years ago The world we know today, July 20, 1969, this great scien- tific, knowledgeable world which has just put a man on the moon, needs this example of unfaltering, unwavering, un- hakeable faith God has asked our bishop to give us this example. He has responded. We admire this inspiring virtue and we are grateful for this lesson needed to increase our frail faith. Tends to Forget Today's world tends to forget these arresting words of Scripture: "This is the victory over the world, our faith." We forget that it is not enough to believe that God exists, but we must also respond to his word with a response that is wholehearted, willing, trusting and loving. And so we turn to our bishop and say m the words of St. Paul to the Ephesians: "Since, then. I heard of this faith of yours in the Lord Jesus and the practical way in which you are expressing it toward !low Christians, I thank God ntinually for you and I never ve up praymg for you; and this my prayer: That God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ and the II-glorious Father, will •1ve you the spiritual wisdom rd the m ht to know more of 1m, that you may receive that lnner ilium nation of the Spirit which will make you realize

LANE BELIEVES that $1,000 will cov- er a 11 expenses, but it might as well be $1 million. "It doesn't seein to look like a good in• vestment to the business people and adults," he said. The San Diego Up with People organi- zation has volunteered to provide sound equipment. Several popular local musi- cal groups have agreed to appear on the stadium stage. A program of student speakers has been arranged. "Our aim is to make smut and dope unacceptable in our schools," said Lane, a 1969 graduate of the University of San Diego Law School, "instead of seeing the responsible student rejected by campus society." The planned rally, he sa· has brought expressions of encouragement fr o m hundreds of students at area high schools and colleg . THE UNPER.L Ir\G l hem e of the messages, ane said, is rat ude that "I am not alon ." The ultimate goal of the organization, according to Lane. would be a perma- nent San Diego Youth for Decency Com- mittPe to ncour highe1 oral stand- ards ainon area youth. Gari and Tina ,Lane are disappainted by the lack of response on the part of an I<' o mJul , but not disheartened. THEY DESERVE the support of the community in a worthwhile endeavor that has been successful in other cities. If they don't gel it, San Diego must bear the shame.

HAS "DECENCY" BECOME a contro- versial subject in San Diego? A group of young people planning a "Youth for Decency Rally" at Balboa Stadium July 21 fear that it has. They fmd plenty of enthusiasm among high school and college students in their desire to overcome San Diego's title as "smut capital of the U.S." and to erase California's national image as a haven for pot smokers. It's only among their elders that they encounter resistance. "THE RALLY IS designed to show that the majority of San Diego youth is law- abiding and decent," said Gary Lane, chairman of the steering c o m m i t t e e planning the rally. Unfortunately, business p e op I e and school administrators have been suspi- cious. Lane said he and his wife, Tina, were rejected by several high school princi- pals in their request that the rally be publicized prior to the end of the school year on the grounds that the matter was •·too controversial." · Bu inessmen have been reluctant to commit themselves to financial support v. ithout assurance that other members of the bu ine..s community are participat- ing. Since the San Di~go City Co u n ci I agreed lo co-sponsor the rally , the group will not have to pay rent for the stadium. They will have to provide an insurance pa,iicy covering liability, however, and pay for lighting and security police.
