Over two months ago the Most Reverend Bishop of San Diego installed garden tools and a corps of workmen be- gan the extensive work of re- habilitating- Mission Hills Ceme- tery which for generations has been in a state ot neglect. Out- lines for complete renovation were made known this week. The im- provements include adequate wa- te.ring facilities, a shelter for a / permanent caretaker, and the re- / pair o fall n coping - revamping \ of monuments, many of which are considered splendid examples of l art in stone, granite and marble. Once the cemetery is put in order it will be kept presentable by a' sexton in constant attendance. The cultivation of English ivy, shrubbery and a variety of flow- ers in harmony with the luxuriant growth of palms, oak and pepper I trees is now in evidence.

In their ple.ce now stand four stately coco palms which are in conformity wtth the rest of the trees on Third avenue. The removal of these trees not only allows the school to be now 1 viewed from the street but has offered a great deal of sunshii,e and light to all the classrooms on the Third o.venue side. :11,"EW ADDITIOX TO RECTORY This coming week, due to the h~avy traffic at the Rectory, three new apartments will be added on the site of the old garage directly behind the Rectory which has now been wrecked and whereon a new three-car garage 0.nd three apart- and King.

Bishop · Spea Th; most urgent and most momen- tous item in this week's diocesan news is the 4-point drive launched by our Bishop. Ascetic and practical stimuli to action in this matter are provided by the provocative letter of his Excel- lency. We need all be reminded periodi- cally that bishops · are th~ successors of the Apostles, that they have their authority direct from Jesus Christ. The essence of obedience consists in seeing God in the person of our epis- copal superior, any other type of allegiance is slavery. From the com- mands and advice of ou;:- Bishop we learn the Will of God in our regard. Each parish has been assigned a quota i this all-important charities drive. All will reach that quota, model Christians will surpass it. "My meat is to do the will of Him Who sent me." j

Mission Hills Cemetery is sacred because of the many pioneers whose ashes have consecrated the soil. Among these are the Rev. Anthony J. Ubach, a native of Spain-for 30 years beloved pas- tor of San Diego. Many priests are buried there and families prominent in the city's history. MASS TO BE CELEBRATED His Excellency announced that Holy Mass is to be celebrated in Mission Hills at stated times dur- ing the year. The Bishop's resi- dence is in the Mission Hills dis- trict and he can often be seen spending his moments of recrea- tion walking through the spacious grounds. STARTED IN 1875 When the Old Town Cemetery became too small, Mission Hi11s Cemetery was opened by the ven- erated Father Ubach. A record from official books gives the fol- lowing data: A Charter, City of San Diego 1 Ordinance No. 78, adopted on No- vember 1, 1875, places the five acres of land: "Under the free and exclusive )C control of the parish of the Im- maculate Conception of the City of San Diego in the Diocese of Los Angeles and Monterey, Rt. Rev. K. Amat, Bishop, to be held in trust and to be used and con- trolled exclusively by said parish forever for cemetery purposes only subject, however, to such I general supervision of the cor- porate authority of such City as is now or may be vested in them by law."
