Country voices may be anything
from the sound of frog after a
rain to the smell of wood smoke,
but to me at least, the sweetest
music possible is country voices.
l love the country in the Spring
when the world is fresh and green
and life surges strong in all grow
ing things. To me the miracle of
green leaves and tiny violets is
ever new and beautiful.

New Consul Is
Introduced At
Cocktail Purty

Consul Hortencio J. Brillantes,
who replaced Melquiades Ibanez
as Philippine consul in Seattle,
was introduced to the Filipino
community at a cocktail party
Dec. 10 at the Filipino-American
Athletic Club. The affair was
sponsored by the Filipino Com
munity of Seattle, Inc.
In his brief and well-presented
speech, Consul Brillantes won
big applause from the audience
when he bluntly said that he
has come here not as superior
but as a friend, with an open
mind, open h art, and open
arms" and that he has come,
therefore, mot to be served, but
to serve you ALL"
He invited his countrymen to
IDEAL with me in the usual demo-
cratic manner, keeping in mind
always that I am nothing but
a humble public servant
Reminding his audience that
the Philippine Consulate h a 5
been established "for service, "
Consul Brillantes asked his peo-
pie ITO tell us what you need
and what your problems are,
and if it is physically impossible
for you to come to the Consulate,
we wall see to it that the Con-
sulate will come to you"
One of his detectives is to
bring the Philippine Consulate
closer to the Filipino community.
And as a guiding post and a
guiding star, Consul Brillantes
said he will adopt good faith
and goodwill"
The new consul will not toll
crate discrimination And the de-
gree of attention will depend
upon the merit of individual
cases. His slogan is ITO give
maximum service with the least
possible delay"

Problems Today
Veteran Advised to Reorronge
Thinking on Housing Problem

However, since thousands and
thousands of other young couples
have had to adjust themselves
to what is available. you may have
to, also. If you have been used 10
an old-fashioned private dwelling
built of fine brick, plaster and
wood, that you cannot expect to
find in modern, new housing. The
old substantial dwellings are gone
probably forever-but the sub
stitute is not nearly so inadequate
as you seem to believe.
Don't give up trying, rearrange
your mental attitude little, rouse
your optimism, equip yourself with
the real estate section of this
paper. and best Of luck to you!
DEAR MISS NISSEN: ! am
going with boy who is very well
hammered and behaves very well
when he is with me. However, my
girl friend says that when he is
away from me he says mean
things. and tells her he is going
to stop seeing me.
DOLLY M.
ANSWER: Your so-called "girl
friend" Is a trouble-maker of the
worst variety. Ignore her snide re-
marks, and wait until you have
flrsthand proof of the boys
duplicity.
DEAR MISS NISSEN. Although
I am only 1914 and my boy friend
is II, we plan to be married soon.
I want to give him an identifica-
ton bracelet for his birthday.
Would it be proper? ALMA B.
ANSWER: The Identification
bracelet is too expensive a gift. I
hope your folks prevail upon you
to postpone your marriage for
quite while. At Is you have no
idea of the responsibilities in
volved and neither has the boy.

By Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: While
you bewail young married people
living under parental roofs, there
are many of us who have no choice
in the matter. We live with our
folks, hoping for the day when we
can get our own home at a price
at which we can reasonably expect
to complete the financial respon-
Gibility assumed.
Most of us young people living
at home are veterans who did not
get established in the prewar era
but who came out Of service to
find the real estate agents and
builders in full charge, ready to
sell q poorly constructed match
box at a fantastic price, or to rent
an apartment for $125 per month.
I know for a fact that many of
these real estate agents were al
most paupers in 1935-but how
different in 1852.
You may call us mama's boys
for sticking at home. but most Of
US work hard every day and keep
hoping for the time when good
houses will be built for the work.
ing man. More power to those
families who are making the best
Of things and resisting high prices
while avoiding being victimized by
high-priced but cheaply built
housing.
DISGUSTED.
ANSWER: Yours was another
of the anonymous letters I so con-
stantly deplore. I would have liked
to send you q personal reply, with
perhaps some concrete help.
The particular instance in this
column to which you take excep-
ton was clearly stated case of a
man who wouldn't set up home
for his wife because he preferred
living with his mother. There was
no indication that the status was
dictated by economic reasons. This
is the condition bewail-and will
eternally continue to do so. If a
wife wants her own home, and
her husband is financially able to
give it to her, he is falling down
on his obligation as husband in
refusing to leave the parental
hearth.
Your problem is entirely differ
ent, but it will not be solved by
the bitterness, which is so mani
fest in your letter. Instead of writ
ing blanket condemnation of the
real estate industry, make an
analysis of the field yourself. A
little investigation will reveal that
material and labor costs also have
something to do with the situation
and these are as much a bane
to real estate men as to you. Learn
where to put the blame-then put
1t there.
OF course, you'll find close oper-
ators in any industry-but you'll
also find plenty of honest builders
and real estate men. as anxious to
provide low-coSt housing as you
are to find it. Many communities
are sponsoring projects to provide
good housing at moderate cost
and I'm sure a progressive city like
yours isn't tagging behind its
larger sisters.
In your efforts to locate the
housing you want, two things must
he borne in mind. The skyrocket-
ing costs of the aforementioned
labor and materials have made
it unlikely that the day of cheap
