SECTION A — PAGE 6 Dallas Rotary Exchange Student Writes Of Life In The Philippines A resident of New Goss Man- or, Dallas, Donna Anthony chose the Pacific Island of the Philippines as her favorite coun- try to visit. In the following paragraphs below, she describes the activities and her friends in her new home in letters to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Don- ald Anthony. fuesday, July 2, 1963 Dear Mom and Dad, Arrived in Manila, at 7:40 am. yesterday morning, ‘and after I went through customs and saw the health officer, I finally met Dr. and Mrs. Macagba ( Donna’s hosts in the Philippines ). They are just about the nicest people (except for you guys) that I have ever met! They told me that I am to call ‘hem uncle and aunt. We went to their daughter Lillian’'s home “in a suburb outside of Quezon City, then at noon Dr. Macagba and I went to the meeting of the Quezon City Rotary Club. This morning we left by ‘train at 6:25 a.m. for San Fernando, and we arrived at 11:45. On arriving we were met by Ro- tarians and Rotary Anng At 12:45 we went to the Rotary Luncheon. The Macagba’s home is really nice. It is built entirely above the water in the fishpond. Right now I can hear about fifty different kinds of frogs, lizards and bugs chirping outside my window. I can also hear the fish splashing around in the water - - Oh brother! !! The hospital is about’ 100 feet from the house. It is real modern and Dr. Macagba is letting me work there on Saturdays and after school. Tomorrow I am going to the school to figure out what coursés I should take. School has already started here, all this week there is regis- tration. Classes really begin on Monday, so that’s when I'm going ‘ to start. Saturday, July 13. Last Friday I started school. I was going to go to Union Christian Col- lege in the morning and Union High School in the afternoon, but I changed my schedule so that I have all my classes at Union Chris- tian College (most Philippine schools have eight or ten grades). Thus some of the courses offered in col- lege compare to courses offered in eleventh and twelfth year high. I am ‘taking ‘Spanish I, Philippine ‘goy- ernment, Religious Education, Po- litical Science, English grammar ann composition and Philippine History. Last Saturday I started helping out in the hospital. T helped in the supply room making cotton swabs and bandages. Boy - - they do really eat a lot here. Not only do they have fish and meat for dinner, but ‘also po- tatoes, rice, vegsotables and differ- ent kinds of casseroles! They say! they eat a lot because it's so hot | and they sweat a -lot. should see me try to eat even a little bit of everything. Oh brother! July 28, Last night I went to the movies with Dr. Macagba’s daughter Mg. Flerence (whe is a doctor), her husband, Mg. Fred (who is a judge), and Lorla Lorenzana, a girl who lives kere and also gozs to Union Christian College. In cace you are wondering about the “Me” in front of the names. it stands for Manang and Manung. Here it to call a person older than youwalf by his or her first name. So if you want to call a woman you say Man- | ang and a man Manung. Sometimes gider ladies are usually called “Na- na” or “ Auntie”. Even if you are just one year younger than a per- son you have to be respectful and say Manang. So I'm trying to ‘get used to that now. Every Friday at the college there is a program from 9:30 to 10: 00 a.m. ‘® “Lucky” Black Solid Ebony Elephants - - -. ® Letter Openers of Hand Carved Rosewood from Africa - =- =~. = ® Placques of Ebony and Brass e Hand Carved Carvi ® Unusual Items From Israel GIFTS You Do Not FIND ELSEWHERE VERY REASONABLE - PRICES WHIPPLE’S GIFT SHOP Everybody | thinks I eat like a bird. but you is very impolite | They usually have kids sing or dance, or put on skits. Last Friday I danced a -native Philipinp dance with another girl. What a riot! I wore an Ilokano (Philippine native) skirt and blouse, and we danced barefoot. We really did have a lot of fun, practicing and this week we are going to learn .another dance. Today I had lunch "with mission- aries, Rev. and Mrs. Jamep Rock- wood. We had a real nice American lunch - - just one main dish - - scalloped potatoes, and then for de- ssert we had ice cream. Rev. Rock- wood teaches at the school and Mrs. Rockwood is the librarian. On Friday nights we have youth fellowship at the church. I've been going for a couple of weeks. We have Christian = fellowship, play games, then have refreshments. We had election of officers and 1 was elected treasurer. 1 wish you could meet Lorla Lor- enzana. She is going to be 19 on the 17th of August and I'm going to try to get a real nice present for her. We go everywhere together, Sunday school, church, and C.Y.F. Tonight we are going to sing a duet at the chapel. Last Saturday we went to a fiesta in the city. of Balaoan, which is} about twenty miles from here. The fiesta was in honor of Mayor Wil- liam Ward from Macomb, Illinois. He was the guest of Philippine Na- tional Senator and Mrs. Camilo As- jas. Mrs. Asias is the first cousin of Mrs. Macagba. The fiesta was very nice, and we were there from about 9:00 in the morning to 7:00 that night. I met some girls from the peace, corps and visit her week- end after next. She wants me to help her make supplies for the firgt aid station.

Then, remember this, says the Nat'onal Board of Fire Underwrit- | ers: Ashtrays are a must if you have smokers in your house. ; Buy large ashtrays and be sure they are made of metal or some other fire safe material. See to it that there are plenty of them and that they are placed in every room where smckers go. One additional thought: empty ashtrays often and be sure that all fire is extinguished before they are emptied.

Linda, only sixteen, | is expected home again this summer, after completing her circuit of the world by landing in Italy, taking a twelve-day tour: of the Continent by bus, and sailing for home from London, 'in plenty of time to enjoy a vacation with the family at the log cabin near Mehoopany. Linda writes from the plane, letter mailed August 17 in Honolu- "lu: The countryside is so absolutely marvelous, miles and miles of land quilt. Everything looks like a- jig- | saw puzzle, each piece fitting beau- tifully into the other. Lake desert has such extensive de- posits of salt that you can see them cleanly from the plane 39,000 feet above. The time when we land in Hono- lulu will be 9:30 p.m., about 3 a.m. at home . I can see whyvaca- tioners get fat. We eat all the time. Between . San Francisco and Hono- lulu we had pea soup, lamb chops, potatoes and fruitcake. We were permitted to inspect the cabin. Our plane has four engines. It flies manual control usually only when landing and taking off. I don’t understand any of the three meth- ods of automatic control. The con- trol room is covered with different colored buttons which have to be watched constantly. The captain made an announcement, and then he handed me the speaker and paid, “Say something’. I did. It was, quite dumb, but at least I made an -at- tempt. * * #* | Linda | From Victoria, Australia: The homes are almest all red brick with | red tile roofs. It's a lovely town of | {100,000 people on Corio Bay. Most of the homes have a fence around | the garden. People take great pride in their lovely flowers, camellias, roppizs, roses. So close to the ocean, the cl'mate is temperate. Rain can come up in five minutes from a | cloudless sky, or a cleudy, day can "within minutes turn into bright sun- shine. | Cars here are much smaller, and driving is done on the left. Very few car parks, Geelong doesn’t have | any at all, Melbourne has one. Some- times a car is parked a mile or two | ering the rest of the distance. There are trams in Melbourne, a few of them horse-drawn. No sky-scrapers, because the land was taken from the ocean and the foundations “are not firm enough. A college here is a high school, a university a college. Things are {much the same as at home, but va- | cations at home are longer and our hours shorter.
