C. THURSDAY, MAY IS, IMS NUMBER THIRTY-SEVEN SUBSCRIPTION RATES SS.5# PER YEAR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Enroute Hong Kong Tokyo May 3. 1966 Dear Friends: I hope the air calm down enough to let me write We've had to have our seat belts fastened for the last hour, and our supper has been delayed. The odd thing is that it looks so deceptiv ely calm all about us. The captain said it was caused by the jet streams In the atmosphere, and was a very common occurrance on this flight. I bel'eve in mv last letter we had just landed In Man ila in an 88 degree evening. No one met us, but the taxi driver didn’t have too much trouble finding the guest house at the Methodist Soc ial Center, where we spen' - our first and last nights in the Philippines. When we arrived they were about ready to have gradua tion exercises for an evening sewing class wh'ch had been given during the year for girls who worked as maids during the day. They made it a real occasion speakers, fashion show, diplomas, flow er garlands for the graduat es (most of which would not go over their beehive hairdos), and many, many pictures even Betty and I had to be in one. The Center is on the dbr ner, in the midst of dormo tories which h r use some of Manilas million college stud ents. One of the streets was a main thoroughfare and was roaring with traffic all night long. Our room was some little distance away but still the noise disturbing to me; however, not as dis turbing as the human voices which seemed right under mv w’ndow as thev walked the street calling their war es “Berec loat all through the night. Our hos tess told us the next morn 1-cr fViot, ) s a ver y S p ec _ lal delicacy which the styd «. vd are quite fond of— an egg just a little before the chicken is hatched". (We’ve had our dinner and are coming into Tokvo). Miss Klepper, 'our hostess, and the director of the Cen ter, asked at breakfast what \ve wanted to do or §ee. dur ing our stay in the Phi'.ip pines. We explained that our greatest desire was to get off the beaten tourist track and really see some of the people of the Island. Her reply was, "Oh, if you could go to the place where Marian Wa’ker works, that would be Just what you want, because the Negritos are the nearest aborigines we have. But the trouble Js there is no way of communicating with Marian, and even If she.had a phone you could n’t be sure, because no one can keep track of Marian.” Nevertheless, within the hour she arrived at the Center on a sma’l insignificant errand, and we were off with her on a journey into the hinterland which lasted four days. Continued next week Tribyte To Mother We are glad to continue letters written by Miss Doris Young’s second grade child ren at M'cavtie Elementary School.
