paper. The school has grades and
they teach the usual grade school
subjects and also seem to have some
physical program and a weaving class
for girls. We talked to one of the
women who was acting as a teacher
and she said she had finished the
pleted most of high school course
in another town, but she would have
to go to summer school for 2 months
each year for quite while so it looks
as if they are trying to raise their
teaching standards. They have 2 men
and women teaching and the man
who was the principal seemed to be
the best educated of all of them and
was interesting to talk to as he told
US something of what their life under
Jap domination had been like and he
seemd to be quite proud of some of
his guerilla activities while living I'M
der the noses of the Japs. One inter
esting sidelight which he told us was
that the Japs started to demolish the
church and remove the things and the
"Padre" told them that if they took
the things from the Church a great
catastrophe would then befall the
Japanese army and they were so
superstitious that they believed it and
stayed away from the Church from
that time on.
When school started at o'clock
they rang a bell and all of the chill
dren lined up in front of the building
and marched in by grade. We watched
one class which had started weaving
and it was quite interesting. They
have a vine which grows here and
they dry it out and then separate the
fibres so that it is about the same as
ball of cord and they then dye it
various colorS and weave it into strips
which are used to make woven san
dalS. The weaving is very fine work
and involves about II or 16 strands
of fibre with knots being tied con-
stantly and when it is done it looks
like very fine crocheting work. The
teacher told me that it took about 2
weeks to get enough to make a pair

as | noticed them.
One thing forgot to mention when
| was writing about the church was
the fact that their bell does not hang
in the steeple or belfry, but they
have a separate framework which
suspends large bell and several
smaller ones about 20 feet above the
ground out in the courtyard. The
bells came from Manila and the in
habitants did not know whether they
had been cast in Manila or some other
place because they have been there
at the church since the early 1S00's.
There is one block which separates
the church and school and it was orig
inally intended as little park as
they had two statues erected there.
One statue was of a General Della
Cruz who was governor of this Prov
ince for a while and the other one
was originally of George Washington
but the Japs had pulled it down so
there was nothing left but the base
of the statue. The area of that block
had grown up in weeds and they also
had number of patches of sweet po-
tatoes planted there.
We talked to number of the ma
tives and all of them agreed in ex-
pressing their dislike of the Japs and
their thankfulness for the return of
the Americans. About all of them
speak English, but it is sometimes
difficult to understand them.

human bein's decided they'd rather

alone with our eats because that
way there wasn't any doubt who
got 'em. But just as soon as folks
got enough food ahead, they begun
to crave company.

summer as forest-fire lookout, all
by himself up on top of a barren

was sit there in a house with glass
