VALENTINE DAY

Valentine Day dates back to
the year of February IA, go,
when Bishop st. Valentine was
put to death in Rome in the
reign of Claudius. He was can
nonized by the Roman Church,
so the day Of his. death was SET
apart in his honor. -
Valentine is a miSsive sent
by one person to another of the
opposite sex on February l4th,
not signed. Some valentines are
beautifully embellished and bear
choice sentiments. and others
are caricatures or ridiculous pic
lures.
So on Valentines Day you
are supposed to choose a mai
den. whom you will devote
yourself for a year.

Hall July 49,. if you ask me, they
made a pretty dancing couple .
Manuel Orias said he enjoyed the
Fourth of July dance sponsored by
the Filipino Forum -. The cock
tail party July sponsored by Vice
Consul and Mrs. ]. II. Cabatit was
quite a gay party Filipinos in
"barong Tagalog' and Filipino
women in native "ternos" added
splendor to the conglomeration of
human attire exhibited during the
party -. Going around the picnic
grounds July 4, when the Filipino
Community of Seattle held its ira
ditional independence Day picnic
at Seward Park, was like judging
a contest in culinary skill :.
Every family group had something
to offer you: lumpia, suman, the
inevitable adobe, all kinds of con-
coctions more politely called salad,
and, believe it or not, the calding,
which had TO be prepared the night
before; then there was the dinu-
guam. pOchero, fried fish, fried
chicken and fried whatnot; vege-
tables in various presentations
One time we found the "binobo-
dan - would suggest a contest
next time to determine the "cook
of the year" -. I would volunteer
my services as official faster
And I would not play any favorite

is, go to Estigoy Cafe and order
it So long, feel the desire to

Roxos Says Force
Of Ideu Greofer
Than Army Force

warks of democracy all over the
world today, Consul General Nj
canor Roxas, guest of honor and
principal speaker, told 500 Lions
gathered at the annual conven-
ton of the Sonora Lions on April
20 to %. This convention which
represented So clubs all over Cal
ifornia was considered one of the
largest and best attended, and
succeeded to a great extent in
achieving better understanding
between the East and the West.
The Consul General pointed out
that there is a force greater than
the force of armies, and that is,
the force of an idea, which is find
ing fulfillment in the policies of
the Lions International wi h a
membership of 100000 and rep
resenting 81 different countries of
the world today. This force of
an idea as evidenced by the poll
cies of Lionism is far-reaching
and unreasonable. Members get
dividends not in terms Of money
and distinction, but in services,
fellowship, neighborly love nd
goodwill.
Mr.. Roxas also understood the
fact that organizations like the
Lions, Rotaries, Kiwanis, Cham
bers of Commerce, YMCA, YWC-
A, and others which started in
the United States are now found
all over the world and have great
ly strengthened the fabric of de-
mocracy He cited Philippine or
CARNATIONS which in cooperation
with the Government have beer
instrumental in arresting the on
rush and infiltration of commu-
nism. Communism" Mr.. Roxas
stated, survives only in countries
where there is discomfort, dis
elimination of opportunities, ty-
ranny, poverty and unrest"
He also praised the American
people for their unanimity in
sharing the democratic ideals and
their way of life with other peo-
pies of the world. He cited the
Philippines as the laboratory of
democracy in the Far East and
historical landmark and reminder
that only if and when the dig
nitv of men is upheld and equal
opportunities are offered to all,
can there be hope for greater
freedom. more permanent peace
and greater happiness for all.
Consul General DoXas cited
with pride the accomplishments
of President Magsaysay in keep
ing the flame of democracy burn
ing in the Philippines, and plead
ed that Americans should not
hesitate to give him and his peo-
pie all the necessary assistance
with the aim in view of making
the Philippines a nation leader in
the conflict of democracy and
Communism in the Far East
The speaker was introduced by
DR. stuart schiilig. zone chair
man of the Lions international
as An active leader of Lonism'
diplomat, jurist statesman and
most eloquent and profound speak
err" on April d. the Consul Cen
eral was interviewed over Sen
ora's Radio Station, where he dis
cussed and answered questions on
Philippine-US trade and COM
merce. the expanding economy OF
the country, and the role Of the
Philippines in the South East
Asia Treaty Organization. In the
evening of the same day, he was

City Rebirth
Cited

Rebuilding of hundreds OF
Western European cities de-
stroyed during World War II is
demonstrating the persistence OF
the city, a recent study pub
liShed by the Urban Land Insti-
tute indicates.
1 The study. "Europe's Reborn
Cities" was written by Columbia
University Professor Leo Greb-
Ter, who recently toured % cities
in England, France, Germany
The Netherlands and Italy.
/. DR.. Grebler reported he was
astounded by the endurance of
urban growth patterns. Cities
he said, have powerful cohesive
attractions. for they are built
on human associations that spell
home even when in ruins.
The downtown areas of cities
viewed in many quarters here
as a major problem in urban de-
velopment today. emerge from
the European reconstruction with
all of their essential functions
intact, DR.. Grebler states.
However, he noted that new
central business districts have
less building coverage, lower
residential densities and prac-
tically no industry. In evidence
are more open spaces, sidewalk
arcades and green areas, with
squares and plazaS added or en-
larged in many cases.

care than did the most prominent
citizen of the eighteenth century.
George Washington was a tall
lover six feet three) and powerful
man and must have had the con-
stitution of an OK to withstand all
the ills with which he was beset.
He contracted, at one time or an
other, just about every contagious
disease known to man, including
smallpox, which left him marked
for life. He suffered from malaria,
several bouts with pneumonia, dy-
sentery, and even a carbuncle on
his hip. Worse than the ailments
were the cures used in those days.
Physicians bled the poor man and
dosed him with emetics and cathar-
tics until it is a wonder that he
survived to lead his country. The
fact that he survived the terrible
winter at Valley Forge is proof
enough of his indomitable spirit.
Finally, two years after he had re-
tired to Mt. Vernon, he was strick-
en- with what some modern doctors
say must have been steptoccocil
laryngitis. Again physicians bled
him whole quartz and gave
him calomel and tartar. One young
doctor suggested the revolutionary
measure of opening the windpipe,
but his older colleagues were
afraid to take the chance. Their
final treatment was the applica-
ton of blisters of wheat bran to
the legs and feet. Poor George, his
last hours must have been horrible.
Hurrah for the twentieth CEN
fury.

When George cut down the cherry

And said he done it, his pa he
Took him in his arms and cried
He was so glad George hadn't lied.
But
When l cut down our cherry tree,
And said l did, pa walloped me,

And, golly, how ISwished I'd lied.

The above verse appeared in the
cid Life" magazine in 1904 and
doubtless expressed the sentiments
of many boy who had had the
youthful George Washington held
I'D to him as a paragon of virtue,
What probably makes it worse for
boys is. the knowledge that the
"cherry tree" story was made up
by Parson Weems, Washington's
first biographer. True or not, the
story has been responsible fol
many things, including the endless
cherry pies and other cherry de-
serts served in February. Anyone
who doesn't like cherries might as
well stay away from social gather
fngs during this month.
If George Washington could re-
turn to earth on this anniversary
Of his birth, he would be surprised
and pleased with many of the evil
dences of progress, l imagine. He
would be most impressed, no doubt
with the great advancement made
in medical science and dentistry
especially the latter. In his day
when a tooth ached, it was ex-
