...installing their relics and treasures in proper fireproof vaults and cases. He will also apply himself to education (he has been president of Amarillo's Price Memorial College). An obstacle to him will be New Mexico's 13.3% illiteracy. Tall, plump and blond, Archbishop Gerken is a Rotarian, fond of quoting Aristotle and St. Francis (Santa Fe's patron) at weekly luncheons. He drives his own automobile, unlike his immediate predecessor in Santa Fe, Archbishop Albert T. Daeger, who was often seen humbly carrying his own suitcases on the streets, who rode in buses and who, last...
