are appreciative of the honor,

The Princesas and Culnbanch-

off to a flying start by winning
first place in Skeletons Paul
Bunyan Parade. The FYA did
not place in the Marysville

three weeks ago.

the closing time, were the most
precious and the determining
factor.
When the tickets and the dol
lars were carefully counted aft
er the midnight deadline, the
tide turned in favor of Phebe
Porras with a very slim margin
over Maria Teresa. The other
contestants trailed third and
fourth and did not furnish as
much excitement in the balloting
as Phebe and Maria Teresa.
Altho losing in the final
round, Maria Teresa Gutierrez
received a great ovation from
the people that crowded Wash
ington Hall to capacity during
the tabulation dance, realizing
that she came up over a thou
sand miles to participate in a
civic undertaking that would
contribute to Filipino prestige
in this country.
Phebe POrraS received the an
nouncement of her victory with
anatural burst of Joy. She spoke
a few words after she was in
trOdueed, thanking all those who
supported her in her campaign.
And there was visible in her the
trait of humility and grateful
ness. But, unlike others in SIM
liar situation, Phebe did not
shed any tear of Joy.
Joan Mendoza and Josephine
Kinder did not show eXtraordi-
nary excitement, but acted as if
it was just another dance. All
the contestants had been sincere
from the beginning and only I'M
avoidable circumstances married
the campaign of some of them.

dances for their friends every
On Halloween they had a par
ty for about 40 children of all
ages, planned the games, made
the cookies and refreshments
and entertained their guests
with ghost stories.
The Yates designed and
built their house on Old Balti-
more Road in 1851. Marie says
it was planned around DIR.

ton.
This past summer, the four
eldest boys built a third floor
on the house and completely
finished two rooms and a bath
for themselves. They took meas
urements, ordered materials,
put up wallboard and wood
work, built double-decker bunk
beds and decorated their own
rooms.
Marie finds she seldom needs
a plumber, an electrician or
carpenter. The boys are cap
able of handling most problems
that arise.
Gregory is adept at wiring
and Bob is handy with radios,
television and mechanical prob
lens. He worked back STAGE
at the Olney Theatre last sum-
mer and looks forward to being
on the technical crew next year.
He constructed a corner cleo
trical shop for himself in the
basement and "child-proofed" it
all around with wire creating a
cage-like effect.
The house has three stair
ways and a fire alarm system
throughout. DR.. Yates set the
alarm off one day to see the
reaction. There was much kid
ding about who did it, but no
one moved outside, After that,
DR.. Yates appointed one of the
boys fire marshal with the
specific duty to call periodic
fire drills.
The basement is a place of

youngsters delve into the deep
freeze in the garage and pick
out a lunch.
Several evenings week,
Marie makes up a variety of
sandwiches, wraps them individ-
ually and puts them in the free
ger. Packing all those lunches
is just more than she could
handle every morning.
Marie solves the marketing
problem by ordering food
wholesale and having it deliver
ed every other week. This way
she can get large containers of
food. The Yates consume about
a dozen eggs every breakfast
or about Is dozen every other
week. They use 60 quarts of
milk each week plus the dry
milk Marie uses for cooking.
Butter is bought by the case and
put in the freezer and so is
meat. A five-pound roast lasts
only one meal. For dessert, the
Yates need about three pies.
On birthday nights-and
there are three of these in some
months-there is a cake with
candles and a great deal of cele-
bration and singing in honor
of each child's big day. Gifts,
however are kept pretty much
to a minimum except that the
younger children are allowed to
choose whatever they want
from a nearby store which car
ries a variety of toys.
Twice a week Marie has a
woman come in to do the iron
ing and make desserts and do
some mending. The children
themselves also do a good share
of the chores. Each is respon-
sible for his bedroom.
Other duties, are posted on a
bulletin board outside the kit
chen with the name of the child
assigned to each. These are
after dinner tasks and include:
clear table, load dishwasher,
empty trash, mop floor, battle
Monica, put Matt and Ed to bed,
and feed Duke-the huge black
and white spotted Great Dane.
The bulletin board also lists
the names of children and the
lecture they will attend in the
National Geographic Society
series. These are held on Fri
day afternoons and four Yates
children attend each week.
The children pretty much or
ganize their own entertainment,
