A resident of New Goss Man-

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.

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.

Plenty Of Ashtrays
Do you want to keep your home
fire safe?
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 DAVIES
Mrs. Carlton Davies, Machell Av-
enue, whose daughter Linda is¢a
Rotary Exchange student in Aus-
tralia, is sharing some of her let-
ters with readers of thé Dallas Post,
beginning with airmail letters writ-
| ten on the trip. 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.

| 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.
Seven weeks here,
