Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1959-01-16

At the end of the war in 1918,
Frank married Miss Lenora Pc
ters, daughter of the late Ezra M.
Peters, a prominent mechanical
engineer and boat builder of Doug
las and Juneau, Alaska.
Leaving his clerical job at Fort
Seward in 1919, he went into labor
contracting for the Superior Fish
cries, the Point Ward Packing
Co. and the Mountain Point Pack
ing Co.-all in Alaska. Terminal
ing his connection with labor con-
tracing, he returned to Seattle
in 1929. One year later, he again
went to California, this time to
engage in farm labor contracting.
Quitting after spending seven long
years in this business. Frank re-
turned to San Francisco to live.
He joined the AT. of L. Cannery
Workers Union where he was
elected secretary, Resigning one
year later, he organized the In
dependent Cannery Workers I'm
ion, Inc. that participated in the
National Labor Relations Board in
quiry in 1888, acting as its spokes-
man and business agent.
Frank also organized the Flip
inc Community of San Francisco,
of which he served three terms
as its president. In 1910, he en-
gagged in commercial farming in
California with borrowed money
from Uncle Sam to finance his
venture. At the same time he
published and edited the Filipino
Farm Labor Journal and the
MISREPRESENTATION Dispatch.
After the return of his three sons
from fighting under General Mac
Arthur in New Guinea, Saipan,
Philippines, Japan and Korea in
1916, Frank decided to return to
Seattle to live where he is today.
Frank is not by any standard a
rich man, but for one who has
given to the Armed Forces of this
country five sons, two of HON
are still in active duty, and who
has engaged in pursuits contribu-
tory to the economic growth of
the nation and the happiness of
the people, and who has always
proven himself one of the people OF
this great democracy, his wealth
is measured by the services he has
rendered and the esteem and res.
pect he honestly deserves from his
fellowmen.

material possessions, are rich in
the esteem and respect of their
fellowmen-because they hold fast
to the lofty ideal of fellowship
and human service, irrespective of
pecuniary consideration.
One such person is Mr.. Frank
M. Bolima of Basey, Samar Phil
ippines.
Franks life story is the story of
youthful determination, youths
indomitable ambition -imitia-
tive and self-discipline.
It is the story of the struggle of
Filipino immigrants among a not
too-friendly people. It is the story
of the manly assertiveness of these
immigrant people who only de-
manded their due right as human
beings in a civilized society.
Frank arrived in San Francisco,
California in August, 1906, at the
tender age of Is, barely four
months after the great earth
quake and fire that destroyed that
beautiful city. His sole ambition,
as was the case with the great
majority of Filipinos who period
ically came to this country immed-
lately after America occupied the
Philippines, was to go to school.
And he did. After graduating
from high school in 1908, Frank
went to Bristol Bay in Alaska in
the employ of the Alaska Packers
Association. After that summer,
he returned to San Francisco and
enrolled in a law school. Five
months later, he withdrew to en-
list in the us. Internal Revenue
Cutter Service. After a year, he
came to Seattle, during the Alas.
ka- Yukon Pacific Exposition ir
the fall of 1909. He secured E. jot
with the Seattle Commonwealth
Security Company, remaining
there for a year, after which he
again returned to California tt
continue his studies in law. Find
ing conditions hard due to made.
quate finances, he again returned
to Seattle in 1913.
During the Depression of 1914
Frank again worked in the fish
cannery at Roe Point, near Ketchi
kan. At the conclusion of the can
ming season, he remained in tn,
Territory and worked in the golC
mines of Juneau, the capital O.
Alaska. Quitting two years later
he went into commercial FISHING
for the canneries with the Indians
At one time, he obtained a clerica
job with one Homer o. Banta,
businessman in Haines, Alaska
which he kept until the outbreal
of war in 1917. He was inducte,
in the US. Armed Forces bu
was later deferred to take a cler
ical job at Fort Seward, Alaska

OUR Community

The Filipino Community of Seat
tie, Inc. is a free and voluntary
organization, whose members join
it on their own free will and with
out cOmpulsion. 1t is governed by
its Constitution and Bylaws and
by any other laws passed by its
legislative body under constitution
al authority. Filipinos and Filipi-
nO-Americans may or may not join
1t.
On the other hand, there is a
Filipino COMMUNICATIVE is a
sociological entity-and, whether
we like it or not, we as FilipinOs
or FilipinO-Americans are identi-
fled with it and, therefore, belong
to it. We belong to it by reason
of clinical or national origin. Any
matter associated with the Fill
Pine community means pride or
embarrassment to us, whichever
the case may be. 1t is our COM
munity.
Now, the Filipino Community
of Seattle, Inc, being an Organi-
zatiOn which owes its existence to
a written statement of purposes
and detectives and the mutual
agreement of its members to act
as a body for the attainment of
certain detectives, is ipsO factO a
free a n d voluntary organization
which draws its members from
those who are willing to join it.
1t is not like a political state
which claims the right of juris-
dictiOn over its members whether
they like to belong to it or not.
In a political state, the members
are in and within the state and
must obey its laws and regula-
lions. They have no choice at all.
In the Filipino Community of
Seattle, Inc, a Filipino-American
within its prescribed geographical
boundary does not owe any obi
cation to 1t If he chooses not to
belong. There is no compIusion
Only those who join it by follow
ing certain prescribed rules are

when we think of Spring
With the robins and all,
We think of the work
And the Carrying call.
So we pick up a brush
And a can of paint,
We get out the tools
And work till we faint.
But alas and behold!
| When the deed is done,
We catch our breath
And Summers begun!
So summer is here,
And Spring is past
We've finished our project
And know it will last.
We purchased our goods
AT our friendly stores
Here in our home town,
Who could ask for more?
You'll buy the best
| Right here in town
And make Bluffton known
AS the best shopping town.
