"Two solemn duties confront the people," he said, "to train valiant leadership for tomorrow, and to relieve the suffering of the help• less.

The Rockne Institute will be a technical school for boys and will provide educational training for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, cooks, and other useful craftsmen. The Institute will combine the ad- vantages of a boys' town with those of a technical arts school. The Bayside Social Center, whose former dilapidated residence was recently condemned as un- safe, will build a new schoof for the children of working mothers. The center provides a day nursery for young children and a program of supervised recreation for older children who attend school. The Guadalupe Clinic, which of- fers relief from suffering to those of limited means when they are ill, is urgently in need of more adequate facilities and a new building is now under construc- tion. Diocese-Wide The program f o r Imperial County will include a new high school for the youth of that county, a medical clinic at El Cen- tro for the needy of the Valley, and the land and some of the equipment for the proposed hos- pital in Brawley. The more than sixty thousand citizens of Imperial County have already organized, headed by prominent representa- tives, to erect the hospital.
