WANT GARMENTS

The Women's Auxiliary of the
Burgos Lodge No. 10. CDA, Inc,
is soliciting disable old clothes to
be sent to the Philippine Islands
through the Philippine Rehabili-
tation Commission. Foresighted
enough to know what the vital
needs of the war-ravaged popula-
ton after the liberation of their
homeland, it started collecting
old garments long before the
first re-invasion forces set foot
in the Pearl of the Orient Seas
A household of the stuff Is
ready for shipment. But it knows
that the need is far greater, ana
what il has is but a drop In
the bucket. So it is appealing TO
all patriotic Filipinos, and their
many friends, to donate what
they can afford TO give away
from their wardrobes. Garments
should be clean, if possible. The
Auxiliary does the repairing and
ironing. Bundles could be sent
to the Burgos Lodge Women's
Auxiliary, S07 King Street.

After Two Years-My Native
Land
We waded ashore. Under my
feet 1 felt the crunch of my land,
my country again, the earth of
the Philippines. After two and
half years - my native land.
The landscape around us was
raging with fires set by our
rockets and flame throwers, and
the rubble of Jap installations
was before us, and all around us
on the beach were our dead. But
this was it. The answer to mil
lions of anguished prayers. Once
more, the earth set free. In that
moment on the beach there flash
ed through my mind a picture I
had vowed never to forget, the
picture of our dead who had been
piled to the waters edge on Ba-
taan, and 1 thought to myself,
how much easier they will rest,
tonight! =
No Pity for Japs
There were Japanese dead on
Leyte, but while l felt no ex-
ultation over their strewn bod
les I could not pity them. They
were tie men who had dealt
out flame and death to our forces
when we were helpless in Ba-
taan. These were the bestial
Japanese who had marched our
naked and defenseless boys over
those cruel miles and into the
barbed-wire traps they called
prisons. They had tied our men
back to back and had bayoneted
them mercilessly. They had done
uncomfortable things. They had
defiled an emblem never before
dishonored. But not for long.
Because the first thing l saw on
Leyte was the American flag
hoisted to a coconut tree, and
beside it was our Filipino flag,
both flying together again over
the Philippines.

MAY BE ANSWER

Discussing the progress made in
some cities, notably Washington,
D. G, Toronto, Canada, and BoS-
ton. Mass, in the development OF
connected park systems. the pub
hcation suggests that this may be
one OF the answers 10 the critical
problems of urban decentraliza-
ton and the spread of "blighted
areas in American cities.
In tins view the fundamental
aim of city planning is 10 make
the cities more livable.
The transfer of population tC
the suburbs, which has helped Il
destroy property and tax values
in central-city districts. has beer
due in large part 10 a desire TO gel
away from urban congestion.
