THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1961
ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES
“I Enjoyed Everything But The Feathers”
After Dining On Unhatched Duckling
Following are excerpts from
letters written to Mr. and Mrs.
George Jacobs, Shavertown, by
their son George who is spend-
ing a year in the. Philippines
.as a Rotary Exchange Student.
George left a few days after
graduation from Westmoreland
High School and flew by jet
to Tokyo then on to the Philip-
pines.. From letters received
from the families he is staying
with George is proving a valu-
able good-will ambassador for
the United States. — Editor
LETTER OF JUNE 17
“The trip by jet was certainly
a thrilling experience and the view
was tremendous. I took some pic-
tures from the plane. Some of the
United States looks like wasteland
and other parts are loaded with
farms. Large cities look like small
clusters. We were detained forty-
five minutes in Seattle but arrived
in Tokyo about 2:30 a.m. on June
17. We had a thrilling taxi riide
through Tokyo and got our rooms
at the “Y”
“We spent Friday shopping and
traveling around on streetcars (fare
about 3% cents) which were much
cheaper than cabs. However you
never know just where you were
going as they were covered with
Japanese writing. However we man-
aged to piece our way to Tokyo
center and we had a favorite Jap-
anese meal of Tempura, mostly fish
and some vegetable, used chopsticks,
etc.--great fun.
“We walked through Tokyo's cen-
tral park and all around town. This
afternoon we will take a tour of
several typical Japanese places on
a prearranged Package Tour, cost-
ing about $2.80 (1000 yen). Almost
all people here wear American dress
although many cannot speak Eng-
lish. I have picked up some Japanese
expressions and delight in using
them.
June 19 - Visits University
“I have arrived safely in the Phil-
ippines and will be at the home of
Ceferino Picache, 23 Vinzons,
Heroes Hills, Queen (City. The Pica-
ches have a very beautiful home with
maids. It is landscaped with native
trees and shrubs. The family is
very friendly and interesting. To-
day is a holiday and I will go and
see Araneta University which is
about an hour away by bus.
“Tt certainly is hot here, but it
feels rather good. It has not rained |
since I arrived yesterday, although
it is the rainy season. Manila is a |

good looking city with all its white
buildings, but it has a traffc problem
as bad as New York's. :
“Tomorrow I will enroll at the
University and probably pick out
my course.”
“l will be staying a month at a
GEORGE JACOBS
time with different Rotary members.
Tonight we are going to a small
Rotary gathering with members from
South . America.”
June 21 - Taking Spanish
“I am attending the University of
the Philippines because it lis much
closer than Araneta and has a good
Spanish course. The school year is
divided in terms of six weeks during
which the student may take two
courses and at the end of six weeks
they are completed. As I. arrived
late in the first period, I will take
Spanish 1 from 7:30 to 9, intensive
Spanish from 9:30 to 10:30, and sit
in on Spanish 3 from 10:30 to 12. I
will receive no credit for any course
at the University because I am a
special student and am not officially
enrolled. Intensive Spanish is a pri-
vate tutoring in conversational
Spanish, which is supposed to make
you a ‘pretty good speaker in three
months. Sounds good, no ?
“There are many foreign students
at the University: For some time
today I got a change to speak to
a boy from India.
“The Pinaches are very friendly
people who have six children. Three
are married, one is in medical
school; one in college, and another
in high school, but all are in Que-
zon City. They have been very kind.
“They have two maids and a
houseboy, plus one or two chauf-
feurs, (one chauffeur has twenty-
four children which he supports
on thirty pesos, about $10 a
month). Here, either you are rich
or poor, no middle class. The poor
live in miserable shacks built of
anything they can get a hold of and
they are huddled close: together.
“The money system is very con-
fusing .At the bank, one dollar
can be changed for three pesos, but
on the street, it can be changed for
three pesos and 50 centavos. This
is illegal, but people get away with it
easily. It is almost accepted. I
changed with the bank and only
a little at a time because when I
asked, if I could change it back into
United States currency everyone
recommends it is safer to change
it a little at a time to be sure.
I guess you can’t get your American
money back. No one really seems
to know.
July 10—Immature Duckling
“Well, I had balut the other day.
It is immature or unhatched duck-
ling and everything was good but
the feathers. I was proud of my-
self because most Americans won't
even look at it.
“Today is the 11th and I will
take up where I left off yesterday.
McArthur received the largest turn-
out on record. He is very much
loved. I did not get to see him.
I was in Cavite, about 45 minutes out
of Manila where the general was
supposed to come but didn't. How-
ever I met a Lieutenant Commander
Slater who urged me to stay with
him a few days and observe the
United States Naval Base there.
“There are many good places to
swim but I won't be doing much of
that until the rainy season ends
in November.
“Here is a one-in-a-million for
you. When I was in Tokyo, I met
a Dr. and Mrs. Kincheloe on the
eighth floor of a Tokyo (population
10 million) department store and
we became acquainted while snack-
ing together. Over two weeks later
I ran into him in the Knox Mem-
orial Church in Manila (population
2 million) where he was staying for
a few days. He delivered the visiting
sermon without notes and touched
the heart of everyone there. The
English Minister invited me to din-
ner at the corner of Pennsylvania
and’ Tennessee Avenues. (Dr. Kinch-
cloe in from Chattanooga!). Small
world we agreed. I expect to visit
Chattanooga on my way back.
“Last Sunday I went with PIFO
(Philippines International Friendship
Organization) to a fiesta at Bocawe.
It was the first sunny day since
I got here and we visited many
typical bamboo homes of wonderful
people. We ate all day. They had
a sort of parade on the river and
long dugout canoes equipped with
gasoline engine really tore up and
down the river loaded with people
who threw water on the people in
other boats. We enjoyed roast pig.
“I can sincerely say that I have
learned more Spanish in the last
three weeks than I had learned of
Latin or French in two years. My
next home (I move at the end of this |
term, July 20) Zabartes Rotary
treasurer, and they are Spanish
speaking people so I should pick up
the language even faster.
“I joined the International Club
the other day and we had an in-
duction ceremony for the officers
and a dance party. It was really
interesting and lots of fun. I met
people from the Philippines, Guam,
Thailand, Japan, United States, Pak-
istan, India, Afghanistan, etc.

have been in the Philippines 25
years. The next day, Sunday, the
cocoanut factory was operating, It
is the largest of its kind in the
world, processing 750,000 cocoanuts
daily. We had a first class tour. Over
half the company’s capital is Philip-
pine and they export almost all
the cocoanut to General Foods of
New Jersey. Nothing is wsted, huske
are used to fuel the plant boilers,
the oil is sold to soap manufacturers,
the scraps are bagged for fertilizer
or feed, and the cocoanut is dried
and shred into 20 different types. I
believe there are over a thousand
employees and the average cocoanut
crusher gets seven or eight pesos
for an eight-hour shift. That is good
pay over here.
“Saturday night there were in-
duction ceremonies for the San
Pablo Rotary and they asked me to
say a few words about my program.
“I am writing today because I
finally have my University problems
straightened out. I wondered how
long I could go on studying without
paying or signing my name to any-
thing. Dean Temmaytay has been
sticking out: his neck for me the
last month without my knowing
it. The registrar demands that I
enroll so I am enrolled as a special
student which costs me 75 pesos
a semester’s tuition, 10 for registra-
tion and 10 for deposit (about $32 a
semester). I receive no credit and
can take only one subject each term.
