op-elect for assuming this high office. I The diocese to which he is to go is a new diocese, unorganized and without resources. Because this honor came ' to Father Buddy so unexpectedly and because of his personal generosity in the past, we are s ure t hat he is n ot in a position to properly fulfill these ob- ligations. Therefore, we who have been spiritually and materially en· riched by his labors amongst us, will want to show our love and affection for him in a practical way by pu tting him in a position to fulfill these obli- gations without embarr assment. "It is the plan of t he committee that at a public r eception t o Bishop-elect Buddy, at which his h ost of frien ds, irrespective of rank or creed, may per· sonally wish him God-speed, t o pre- sen t him wit h a purse made up of t he loving donations, la r ge and small, from his gr ateful friends. This public r e- ception is planned ten tatively for the afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 27, following as closely as practicable the Pont ifical Ben ediction at t he Ca t hedral on Sun- day afternoon, Dec. 20, and the con- secr ation, which will be Monday morn- ing, Dec. 21. "Because of th e short time, the com- mittee is taking the liberty of calling this matter to the attention of friends by letter, knowing of their desire t o participate. Frieruis will confer a very gr eat favor upon the committee if t hey will respond immediately with the amount t h ey desire t o contribute, and thus avoid the necessity of a personal call. A booklet containing the name of every subscriber to this fund will be given to Father Buddy as a re- minder of t he host of his friends. T he amount of the individu al subscriptions j ·will be omitted."
