00:00:02.130 - 00:00:20.090

To wander around and uh uh I hope that uh everybody can join the program at uh the night dinner. The proceeds um from the dinner are gonna go to cover some of the cost and the risk of going to our uh office. But you know, we

00:00:20.100 - 00:00:38.770

maintain any corner from there which we uh take care of all uh type of social, social cases. So I sure you think it's uh you long for a flip cost? And uh even, I mean, I hope uh spaghetti dinner was worth the money and that, that

00:00:38.779 - 00:00:57.810

money was still is gonna go a long way. Uh That is T nine also, we are having our membership drive and I certainly hope that all of you will, will join because uh most of you have heard the aspect of the community service organization, what it

00:00:57.819 - 00:01:36.940

is doing. Um uh I'm sure that you would all be welcome and uh be there. We certainly would be glad to have you, right. We give the people who have been awarded to say a word to us too. We begin with. This is the word. Yeah,

00:01:37.510 - 00:01:56.110

I, that would be so much. Uh I just so it's, it's wonderful to know that when you have people for you, everyone says that a million dollars in Sacramento, I, I'm not doing this at all really? If it wasn't for the CSO chap that we had

00:01:56.120 - 00:02:09.220

for all of the people that have written a letter and been telegrams and it was, that have gone up to Sacramento to help me out with the, you know, particular service that we have trouble with that. They made the program. So it was the work that

00:02:09.229 - 00:02:24.740

was done on the motor industry by J and all of the this is wearing and we worked so hard on somebody here and this is why we can, we, we can even the system and certainly for wonderful people are following the comments that have helped us

00:02:25.089 - 00:02:41.449

and the guided CSO and in all of our battles over the last five years, you know, like we got into trouble with the police department, got into trouble with the housing or development agency and all of these fights v guide us. And he gave me some

00:02:41.500 - 00:03:13.089

work, you got the wrong information. We didn't have the access to the to the proper file that very important, right? OK. One legal committee was, was mccullum help too. I have on the phone, a worker for CSO he didn't know it when he said, you know,

00:03:13.100 - 00:03:28.990

you should become a service move and give service to the that he wanted us to do. He tried to do it and I think that we, the CSO was chatting in stock and we owes a lot of fun on coming to the guy. And, uh, I,

00:03:29.000 - 00:04:01.100

I wanted bond that war two to be would give my personal, we have a double do the, all of the to follow a colonel. I, I think he's one of our honor people in the O I thank you very much. We remember to see how, when

00:04:01.110 - 00:04:25.239

Father mccall, I considered a writer on her and a privilege to have been on the platform when and a wallet is made to one of the truly great men that I have met in my lifetime in the 40 years that I have been associated with labor.

00:04:25.260 - 00:04:53.410

I think I'm right for you, your ma these people who have made the greatest impression on the lives and condition of working men that went throughout the world. And I have never met anyone that has done a greater job. Although his fear has been limited to

00:04:53.420 - 00:05:29.660

the great lunch. What? Yeah, years ago it was a very nice time. And most of you I OK, I talk for a few days before a meeting where I like I take appointment and I walk. Yeah, of course, we have an and we have as fee

00:05:29.670 - 00:06:38.809

as a representative of labor. OK, ma one. Yeah. Getting a, a about to talk and a sense of nations and respect the people who and to the would not be sitting idly by accepting the most vital things, mm, by a group of slaves. So,

00:06:38.820 - 00:07:15.450

the, the that and color televisions, speed boats and sports cars, right? Because they would give to the people who produce the very thing that keeps us alive that teach you that should be there and we must. All right. And he thought that they read to take

00:07:15.470 - 00:07:45.100

off one of the dude that many who seem to hear it a very big game of time. All right, as we bring a sense of vision to and to think that follow has always and follow her, this is not a good bond. It fell out a

00:07:45.109 - 00:08:04.359

drown or some said a moment ago is one person alive in this community. You are going to be, you are going to be the member for the tremendous work that you have done for giving a spark to the thing that has set off a movement that

00:08:04.369 - 00:08:42.258

I know is finally going to result in bringing dignity, honor and respect to the greatest group of working people probably a few times a lot. Uh Mine is being said one night, you go to bed night. I, I really look at the border

00:08:43.200 - 00:09:15.500

and uh that is, uh uh you know, the penal program, uh you know, the way, uh they don't know and uh you better have merchandise anyway. Uh I wanted to thank you all. Thank Henry and the Lord, a good friend spot. To move. You might be

00:09:15.760 - 00:09:49.369

a good title. Uh, one is very high. Fine. Right. And I, I want to tell you this, I, I want to thank you all of them, all of the people here about 14 years. Very, very happy from my end. I, ok and wearing all of the

00:09:49.429 - 00:10:49.270

socks. Um, uh, well, you right. So thank you. Uh, people will want it immediately after the blessing a half hour. I see occasions which is happening for summer. Mons William Quick. Oh, yeah, Joe was the past president of the CSO. Certainly. I think he,

00:10:50.549 - 00:11:26.739

uh, a little back now. You want come up with these, uh, uh CSO membership guard and membership expires next month and 30,000, we might lose and we don't, we, and, uh, five fell from the same line, the most members of the CSO. We remembering that. So

00:11:26.770 - 00:11:50.150

let's use that and we send out to, uh, Oakland. People tell me that, uh, about midnight trying to put it together and, oh my God. Yeah. So, uh, finally we met a bad line about three o'clock in the morning and he said, well, I like to

00:11:50.159 - 00:12:19.840

write it because I have work. So, and you have about this five power. Some of the members of the C SI was representing your members of the party. Glad to have this and always consider myself as, uh, a member to be willing to help in whatever

00:12:19.849 - 00:12:35.969

way I can. But I can tell you um, the, this, the job that you gotta do requires work. And uh not just for a few of the people who are slugging it out, day in and day out of everybody. So if I can give a little

00:12:35.979 - 00:12:50.309

boost here, get in and, and give, give, give your officers and give the committee members a hand. Everybody get in. Don't sit back and wait for somebody else to do it to everybody in and work and make this organization do the job you wanna do. This

00:12:50.320 - 00:13:11.820

is, this is what you have to do for God bless you. I'm just finding all the mistakes I made. People are probably over to tell me now. I forgot a few announcements. Uh One is the uh presence here of uh Junior Rivera. Sure. The Cso Mozart

00:13:12.119 - 00:13:38.909

all the way. Moar Junius. The original A W A committee was the Agricultural Workers Organization or a, the original A committee which was organized pretty much my part of my college as the original members of the Cso Rudy Del B and uh uh Margarita Ortega, they

00:13:38.919 - 00:14:18.450

were here and uh Mr Buil Pa, your guys are here to stop it. Do you think about happy? Ah That was the one that was the one that very, very important too. We can tell if we got anybody else, but I can

00:14:18.460 - 00:14:47.690

make this, I really call the uh nos recognition. Uh A woc has a women's auxiliary which is here today. In the presidency and these women are present in the seat. Will they please stand up and think about yes. Remember this girl Norman remembered this. He said

00:14:47.700 - 00:15:23.309

get that dance there having a p next Sunday night at the Hot Carriers Hall right across the street over here next Sunday night. I think if I say something, I, I got a point from the Bishop's Committee for migrant workers and I'm from Chicago and I'm

00:15:23.320 - 00:15:37.729

the most migrant of all the migrant workers. And this is why I'm here in, uh, in Stockton tonight. Uh I, I don't think I ought to say anything very nice about, about the economy, but I think if we see anything more, we're going to bury it

00:15:37.739 - 00:15:56.020

before the even goes. Uh I think I should say though coming from Chicago, a rather far distance from here to there is no place I'd rather be that is stop in tonight for several reasons. One, and I'll be thank you very quickly the hour day later

00:15:56.909 - 00:16:16.599

because I had the opportunity this, this morning of coming to Saint Mary's parish where I saw something that reminded me in a very striking way of what Christianity basically is. It is the method, the gospel of love and particularly for the poor. And I saw how

00:16:16.609 - 00:16:33.200

the poor in this city were being taken care of by the priests and the people of Saint Mary's Perry. And this, I made a tremendously striking impression on me I haven't seen something like this for a long, long time. I'm happy to be here tonight because

00:16:33.210 - 00:16:47.919

I have tremendous respect for the work which the community service organization is doing in the whole state of California. And I know it rather well and we talked to practically all its officers and to many of its members. I'm very glad to be a part of

00:16:47.929 - 00:17:08.780

a program sponsored by them. I'm glad to be here because of your Espinosa, one of the newer members of your community, but who has been doing a tremendous job in helping the community to bring about greater and more profound organizations because Norman Smith is here. Uh

00:17:08.790 - 00:17:28.160

May I have a great deal of respect for the kind of work he's attempting to do? I will dispense myself and say that I have talked about Father mccullough in about 48 of the 50 States in the United States and in every one of these states,

00:17:28.170 - 00:17:44.160

I've said something extremely nice about him and about the priest with whom he has been associated. So I think I will break down tonight and say very quickly in one sentence that of all the priests I have met in the United States, I think he is

00:17:44.170 - 00:18:04.079

one of the greatest. We're now saying of the Son of the Holy Spirit, a event we give thee thanks Almighty God for these and all thy benefits which we have received from thy value through Christ, our Lord. In the name of the father and the son

00:18:04.089 - 00:18:05.530

of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
