==============================================:,- LABOR DAY Labor Day is the day set aside by act of Congress; a day to review the accomplishments of working men and women, to reaffirm the aims, ambitions, and needs of all those who work with their hands and minds. In San Diego we have passed through a year of excellent labor management relations, with few work stoppages and an increased productivity. We have assumed our responsibility to the community and h~ve served our fellow citizens whenever and wherever possible. We are proud of the increase in wages and conditions gained by most of our unions. We also feel proud of our friendship with His Excellency, Bishop Charles F. Buddy, of San Diego. His friendly coopera- tion and peaceful approach has been a guiding light in many of the problems that have confronted our people during the past year. His constant fight to protect from transgression the rights and freedoms of the individual parallel our objectives in organized labor. With the many grave problems that we shall face in the coming year, it is only fitting and proper that we celebrate this Labor Day with spiritual observance. I take this oppor- tunity to thank His Excellency, Bishop Buddy of San Diego, for the cooperation and understanding that he has given the San Diego labor movement. (signed)

States Policy In an interview for the Fontana News Father Walter said "We be- live education consists in develop- ing a boy in all three ways, intel- lectuaUy, physicalJy and morally. .We want to give each boy individ- ual consideration. Our policy will be, not to mold a boy into a cer- tain fixed pattern, but to find out his capabilities and to develop him in those lines; to find the good points in his character and stress them, so that he wilJ leave school as an individual but a polished individual." The high school is named for Cardinal Newman, who was an Episcopalian minister famous in England in the Oxford Movement in the nineteenth century prior t his conversion to Catholicism. He was an outstanding scholar, p • ticularly kno\\rn for his beautiful and distinctive prose style. Shortly after his conversion he was ap- pointed a Cardinal of the Church.

For a long time His Excellency the Most Reverend Bishop planned on having a Catholic High school for boys in the northern part of the San Diego diocese. The Fath- ers of the Resurrection who were invited to undertake the task ac- quired property in Fontana, and immediately began work on the :school.
