MEMORIAL GIFTS FOR MAJOR SEMINARY Will Provide for Students' Rooms During the past week the Most I \Reverend Bishop received a gift of 1,000 in memory of the late Peter 'Bogue, a former member of St. Joseph's cathedral parish. This type of commemoration is appro- ' priate in this instance because Mr. I Bogue's life was distinguished for charity. Without the least pub- licity he gave generously to every worthy cause. This recent memorial gift of $1000 will suffice to provide for the construction and furnishing of a room in the new San Diego ma- jor seminary. In addition, two rooms will be provided in memory of Ellen Bogue, wife of Peter Bogue, who like her devoted husband was dis- tinguished for her far-reaching charity. The new cathedral has lasting memorials in memory of this fer- MEMORIAL GIFTS FOR MAJOR SEMINARY (Continued from Page 1) vent couple who were originally from Ireland. TWo art glass win- dows beside the main altar reflect their fine Catholicity and ennobl- ing generosity. According to present plans the cubicles for the seminarians will measure 10 by 12 feet. Included in the furnishings are a desk, chair, wardrobe, lavatory with running water and a medicine case. The first gift to build a room was received a week ago from the Father Serra club.

To Ask Prayers Before Starting Drive for Funds Series of Talks to Explain Necessity Of College for Men A campaign of prayer will precede the drive for funds with v,rhich to inaugurate San Diego university. As the school g e t s underway the prayers ot,_ children and all re- ligious orders will form one pow- erful petition for the success of this mammoth undertaking. During the campaign preced- ing the actual drive for funds a series of educational talks will be made stressing the necessity of providing a higher education for .the young men of the diocese. Men to Benefit Because the Society of the Sacred Heart, which is completing plans for a fine arts college for women an academy and an ele- ' menta;y department, have not I asked to participate in the funds for the drive, practically the total returns will be devoted to facili- ties for the young men of this jur- isdiction.

1 S.D. Ordinary To Erect Parish I \F!i~I ~~!:!~~! 350 Families Living In Area of Parish Three hundred fifty. qa~h- olics in Lakeside are reJOlC~ng in the prospect of having their own parish church. For- merly most of these faithful people have traveled several miles to assist at Mass at St. Mary's church, El Cajon. This has been a hardship, especially for those who made the trip fasting. The Most Reverend Bishop is more concerned with those families \ in Lakeside who have no means of \ transportation as well as the hun- \ dreds of Catholics in that area \ who have possibly lost interest in I their religion because of the in- conveniences of assisting at Ma~s and receiving the Sacraments. Purchases Ground During the past week the Most Reverend Bishop purchased four acres of ground adjacent to the lake on a tract known as El Monte park. The property has an im- provement consisting of a 24 by 60 foot barracks which will be re- modeled into a mission style house of worship. While it was thought that the new Lakeside parish could for the present be attended as a mission from El Cajon, people of the par- ish have petitioned the Bishop for a resident priest to offer daily Mass and the Sacraments. The Most Reverend Ordinary will meet in the near future with parish committees at Lakeside to determine the future development of the new parish. Trades and Labor Council Endorses Labor Day Mass The San Diego County Feder- ated Trades and Labor Council at its last regular meeting gave unan- imous endorsement to the Most \Reverend Bishop's plan for a Sol- ,emn High Mass ,to be celebrated in st. Joseph's cathedral on La- bor Day. William Parker has been named chairman of the council's com• mittee which will coordinate ar- rangements with the Chancery _of- fice, according to John W. Quim- by, secretary of the council.

In a letter to the Most Rever- end Bishop, Mr. Quimby wrote: "Your kind invitation for spiritual observance on Labor Day comes l!-t a time when labor finds itself in troubled waters. By stressing the importance of Labor Day to our people and calling upon the bless- ings of Almighty God, I am sure I we will be able to steer a clear path ahead." I
