rest of California, is putting it's best
efforts into the mission restoration
movement The rehabilitation of Mis-

particular objective, and in addition
to plans for a complete restoration of
the solid weather-beaten structure,
which was pressed into service as a
Parish church for one of San Fran
cisco's largest congregations only a
few years ago, an effort is being made
to collect the priceless records of the
olden days of San Francisco which
ware once kept in the mission ar
chiTes. Among the missing archives
are included copies of a life of Juni-
peto Sierra, written by Father Fran
cisco Palou, who, with Father Benito
Cmnbon, founded the mission in 1916.
The book was written in 1885 and
printed in 1887 in the city of Mexico.
It was the first book written in Cali
fornia. 1t was bound in sheepskin,
clasped with loops and buttons of the
same material and had 4 long list of

neither "books nor men Of learning to
consult" Another valuable memento
that has disappeared is a picture done
