Benefit to the Philippines is the forecast of
some Fipinos in the valley concerning the resolu-
ton passed by the farm bureau which opposes
the employment of Filipino labor and dscourageS
the leasing of real property to Filipnos
The resolution with unanimous vote will prob
ABLY help to encourage the Filipinos to go home
to the Philippines where their services are much
needed both on agricultural work and in military
service.
Probably President Quezon would be happier
l. all of his people could go home early as
possible and unite with him in making the
Philippines strong nation The possibilities lie
in the fact that if more labor could be eXerted on
the virgin soil of Mindanao which it is predicted
could support the whole population of the Philip
pines the rest of the area might produce useful
products for world commerce.

interested in working on Philippine agriculture

Now and then from my window l
see Oscar, the apple-cheeked Wal
dorf chef, start off on his evening
stroll with his pipe always alight.
He handles it with the awkward
ness of the novice, tamping and
stopping for frequent light-ups. The
seasoned smoker-such as Frank
Craven-on his stroll, has finesse.
He keeps his pipe going with the
first light, rubs his fingers over it
lovingly at intervals and there is
about the proceeding an artistry.
But Oscar is a novice. He never
smoked until past 60 All his life
he obeyed the chefs unwritten
credo to escheW tobacco because it
dulls the sensitive taste necessary
to expert cuisine.
