Hearts Warmed Sunday at Smile Of New Bishop Labeled "Regular Fellow" By Admiring Crowd Sunday; Shows Gifts I San Diegans didn't need to hear Bishop Charl:'!s Francis Buddy 1 state that despite the beauties of California in limate and scenic beauty, that it was the people that he loved, the thousands of im- mortal souls that had been in- trusted to his guidance, to realize that he was a man who loved hu~ II manity, a man who loved the poor and the little children, for it is written in every li~e of his face l and in his ready smile.
