F il ip in o s N o w E c o n o m ic Fo rceThe Filipino Herald continues its progress report on

Hawaii’s Filipinos in this issue.We would like to direct the attention of all businessmen to

our next issue, because we feel that it will contain informa­tion they will find of compelling interest

We refer to the third portion of our economic report on Hawaii’s Filipinos.

In this series, top men in such professions as the field of law, medicine, architecture, accounting, commercial artists, teachers, business and other high-level jobs, will be spot- lighted.

This comprehensive economic report is but a part of The Filipino Herald’s overall goal in calling to the attention of the Filipino community and the citizens of Hawaii in gen­eral — the illustrious men and women who make up our community.

In this report we hope to awaken Hawaii s businessmen and politicians to the wide scope of our contributions to the general economic growth of this 50th State.

We want to drive home the fact that Hawaii Filipinos as a market, as a political potential, have too long been ignored.

Indications, according to more extensive statistics to come from Washington, are that we have been a "sleeping giant.”

If these facts and figures are to be believed, the rest of th e community will have to cease regarding us merely as an alien people with whom they should politely co-exist.

In the cold, hard idiom of Wall Street, here are the dollar facts: “The Filipinos of Hawaii are the, fourth largest ethnic group. They are not only the third largest bank depositors, economically, they constitute perhaps the largest single bloc o f dollars in Hawaii’s economic market which has not, amazingly enough in this “dollars-and-cents-society” of ours, been accorded the acknowledgement it deserves.”

While Filipinos of Hawaii have a rich historical and cul­tural background which accompanied them here from the Philippines, over the years, Filipinos have developed tastes

- every bit: as sophisticated as other groups of Americans.Only recently have Hawaii’s Filipinos become aware of

their true significance in the socio-economic and political structure of Hawaii.

As this realization slowly dawns, The Filipino Herald has become aware of a mounting excitement and'pride emanat- ing from. Hawaii's Filipinos..

Increasing phone calls, numerous letters and paid sub­scriptions in the mail Continue to verify what we 'have known all along: There is a definite movement in the land which, long described and written about as a “coming, na­tural, sociological process”-—is here.

I t is now a reality.I f history credits The Filipino Herald as having pro­

vided the “catalyst role” so necessary to. start the ball roll­ing in such a sociological process, it will, indeed, be reward enough for us.

For The Filipino Herald tha t will certainly be a “ma- ligayang araw !”

EASTER M ESSAGE(Excerpts from Easter sermon by Father Henry Sabog, Church of St.Theresa, Catholic Diocese.

When w e speak of Easter, we are really speaking of the Resur­rection of Jesus Christ.

There are many Resurrections in nature and in the history o f na­tions. In nature, We s ee examples o f seeming death, stillness and quiet coming to life like the seem­ing lifelessness of a cocoon burst­ing forth into a fluttering butter­fly. The old leaves of a tree giving w ay to new leaves and little in­significant things such as seeds coming to life are other examji^s

And so in a thousand forms, see apparently dead things rise to l i f e The m ost striking and import­ant Resurrections are the spiritual ones. Baptism is a Resurrection from the helpless state of original sins. Penance is a rising from the grave o f sin to the life of grace.

Every holy mass you attend is not only a reliving of. the death o f Jesus Christ, it is also a reliving o f his resurrection. In the entire

M ENTAL PROBLEM

IS There A Solution?

Re “Women Shortage: Mental Problem for Ha­waii’s Filipinos,” how do you propose the problem be solved? Importing girls from the Philippines is ou t o f the question as this involves a lot o f other problems. W aiting for young generations of women to fill the gap is not solving the current problem, either. Moreover, no amount o f counseling, ther­apy, and the like short o f the real thing won’t work.

W hat m ust w e do? The author of the article failed to suggest a concrete solution to the prob­lem. . .

Hawaii’s Filipinos can be better helped if they knew how to go about this critical problem. Can the Filipino Herald help them?

Yours truly, TIAGO RIGONAN

Editor’s Note: The Filipino Herald contacted June Gutmanis, author of the above mentioned article for comment on this letter. Mrs. Gutmanis replies

follows:

life of a Christian, it is a series of rising from a life o f decay and disuse. I t is God calling.

higher and better life. And it is th is series of rising in our lives that brings that hope and the won­derful joy o f the Resurrection of a glorious future Resurrection.

This Is a time for confirming and reverifying our faith and love in the Son of God, the redeemer of mankind.

May the joys o f Easter be yours through this whole year.

Realistically, there is no single answer.The problem is an old one.It has h arassed every growing community

throughout, the ages.Men with their more adventurous-seeking na­

tures, have built community after community only to find them empty without women.

Statistics show there are only two racial groups in Hawaii where the male population outnumbers the female: the Filipino and the Negro. In all others, the women outnumber the male. As our correspondent indicates, there is no reasonable way to expect to fill the gap with Filipino women.

The obvious answer must be to look to other groups. This in itself presents problems—but problems that are not insurmountable.

The first is o f course meeting these women: Where, when and how?

The simple act of broadening one’s community contacts immediately, increases the number of eligible females one can know.

Clubs, churches, political groups and adult edu­cation classes are a few possibilities.

t h e basic good manners, reputation for de- votion and financially responsible character are valuable marriage assets of the Filipino.

However, there are two problems that do create barriers with other groups— the first problem is jealousy, and the tendency to place too great an importance on a simple friendship. In contacts with less emotional racial groups, it is necessary and important to exercise .restraint.

Secondly, there is a problem of language.The high lingual ability of the Filipino is

demonstrated by the fact that most Filipinos know two or more dialects and often, as many as four, plus Spanish. Therefore, there is little excuse that they do not make more effort to use English.

It is safe to say there is not a Filipino in the islands who does not understand some English. It is necessary in order for him to hold down any job.

Most can also read English.Proof is their high, subscription rate to English

language periodicals.A deep-seated inferiority complex and a fear

of being misunderstood has led far too many mento hide behind the excuse: “I no understan’ ” or “Ino ‘sabe’.”

W hat m ost of them fail to realize is that it is difficult to love and trust someone you do not understand. *

The extent of the Filip inos, willingness to util­ize English as a means of communication will determine the extent of his social horizon.

If the Filipino in Hawaii truly w ishes to find a mate, he should be w illing to accept the fact that communication must play an important role. No longer can he find refuge in the alibi: “I no understan’ or “I no ‘sabe’.”

thousands of successful marriages between American -G I's and foreign brides demonstrated by the willingness o f both parties to learn the other’s language, proves that “love has no barrier.”

Like it or not, this problem is also the respon­sibility of all Filipinos with established homes who must ask themselves: “Am I m y brother’s keeper?”

As suggested in my article, they must come for­ward and help.

To the men eligible for marriage, these families have responsibilities o f providing introductions to single women o f their acquaintance and to provide

appropriate social activities within which meaning- ful relationships can develop.

In the final analysis—this problem is the respon­sibility of every Filipino in the community who must search his conscience to find the answer to the question: “Am I m y brother’s keeper?”

EXCELLENT SO U RCE

The Filipino Herald is an excellent source ma­terial for things Philippine. Sinclair Library of the University o f Hawaii and other libraries in this and other states should have the Filipino Herald in their shelves.

“Filipinos in Hawaii,” “What is a Filipino?” and “Women Shortage: Mental Problem for Hawaii’s Filipinos" in your first tw o issues present facts about the people of Filipino ancestry which were heretofore only assumed.

The dearth o f material about Filipinos makes the Filipino Herald all the more important not only for curious students but also researchers and other groups.

PROG RESS O F F IL IP IN O S

I agree with Mr. Charles W. Amor (“Progress Is Goal of Hawaii’s Young Filipinos," Filipino Herald, April 7, 1962) when he emphasized the need to be educated by Filipinos in Hawaii in order to attain progress. Unless Filipinos in Hawaii go to the university or send their children to specialize in higher educational institutions, they cannot hope to compete in the labor m arket

The U. S. society o f w hich Hawaii is a part is highly competitive, demanding o f particular skills, knowledge, and abilities. These skills, knowledge, and abilities can only be learned or acquired from colleges and universities. W hile in the past, ex- perience or som e kind o f apprenticeship would do, these no longer will suffice. The Filipinos, studies show, are by and large lacking in this very im- portant- tool for competition: educational compe- tence.

W hy this condition is so only the Filipinos in Hawaii themselves can answer. They have to go to colleges or universities, not only to grade and high school. They have to send their children for higher education, moreover.

I also agree with Mr. Amor’s statement that there is a need for Filipinos to get into local poli­tics. There is a great deal o f common sense here. However, their participation in politics is condi­tioned by their degree of higher education. Actual­ly, it’s a cycle.

All in all, however, it is gratifying to note that Filipinos in Hawaii have really started to move up-

economically and socially. More and more nts of Filipino ancestry are attending colleges

and universities here in Hawaii as well as in mainland institutions. More and m ore of them are joining the professional ranks o f Hawaii so­ciety. They, too, are beginning to be noticed in business and political circles. In due time, the Filipinos w ill surely assert them selves in this part of the globe.

I think that the Filipinos bear watching!Yours sincerely,

NESTOR V. MAGALONA

issue". . . A le a d e r 's View On The Peso Problem

Our story on the peso situation written around an interview with Consul Alejandro Tango, touched off wide reaction. The Filipino Herald re­ceived numerous calls raising ques­tions indicating there is deep concern regarding this problem. Mr. Pio Aclan, one of many who called, very kindly offered to write this article

Giving what he feels are views shared by a great many Filipinos in Hawaii.

Because there are thousands of Fil­ipinos who must regularly send money to their relatives in the Philippines, The Filipino Herald feels it is a prob­lem of major concern which de­serves further examination.

M r. Aclan, a former school teacher from Batangas, came to the islands in 1955. He is presently a civilian stock control clerk with the Arm y at Fort Shatter. In future editions. The Filipino Herald hopes to carry other articles of- interest written by Mr. Aclan.

By PIO E, ACLAN

The advice o f "Consul Yango in regards to the sending of money to our folks in the Philippines pub­lished in the April 7th issue of The Filipino Herald, is very w ise and timely.

M y only question Is: “If w e send onr m oney through . the banks here, w ill the dollar checks be cashed in the com­mercial banks in the provinces where our folks live?”

Supposing that, there aren't 'any banks duly licensed In cash-' tag -checks i n the provinces where our folks live— w here w ill they go?

W hat about our folks living i n Mindanao, Visayan Islands, Southern and Northern Luzon?

Should they go to Manila City for the purpose of cashing dol- lar-checks In commercial banks there when their going might cost much wasted time and ad­ditional expanse? The trip to Manila City could, conceivably, cost them more than the amount of the dollar-check sent to them.

W e m ust also take time to find out the requirements o f the bank

in Manila C ity before cashing checks. M ost banks require tw o w itnesses personally known to a bank employee t o w itness the cashing of a check.

Has Consul Yango considered the difficulties a person from the provinces might encounted in havi n g to find two w itnesses in Manila whom a bank employee

has known previously? Some banks require that the

bearers of dollar-checks have some kind o f account or else no cashing of. checks w ill be done, period.

It would be very nice it the' Philippine Government issued identification cards to all the Fil­ipinos which they could present to the bank for identification pur­poses in cashing checks.

To solve this dilemma, I think that w e m ust first offer solutions to the problems raised above.

I firmly believe that with the

cooperation of all the Philippine Consuls abroad these problems could gradually be resolved.

I would, suggest that our Phil- ippine Consul write the banks and the high offices of the Philippine Government concerned in regards to these problems and offer pos­sible solutions.

If w e really want to stop the dollar black market In our coun­try, w e m ust try our very best to solve all these problems be­fore w e w ill be able to fully comply with Circular No. 135 of the Central Bank of the Philip­pines.

After solving these problems, w e can then expect all Filipinos to send their money in dollar- checks through the banks here with the complete confidence they w ill be cashed in commercial banks with branch offices all over the country in the Philippines. In this way, dollar-checks w ill be re­ceived abundantly by the banks and the rate o f exchange in the black market w ill be lower than what the banks offer. Naturally, the black market dealers will not profit in their venture anymore be­cause businessmen will simply go to the banks when they w ant dol­lar money.

Presently, Filipinos a b r o a d w hose -folks -live far from Manila City can only send their money through the foreign exchange dealers of their choice—because it is the only resort they have.

It Is unfortunate that there have, been victims of some, for­eign exchange dealers whose services are not as good a s promises. But while it is true that foreign exchange dealers of well-advertised companies have come and gone—Filipinos, In or­der to protect themselves, should deal ONLY -with 'well- established firms who provide them with legal-type receipts to keep in return for the money they send their loved ones ta the Philippines.

Carlos Remelb, who as­sumed the duties of deputy director of labor and indus­trial relations for the State of Hawaii under director Cy­ril F. Damon J r . April 23, cites education and the team­work of his family as the factors which allowed him to rise to the sub-cabinet level position.

In an exclusive Filipino Herald interview, the native Hawaiian of Filipino ances­try said, “I am very much interested in education be­cause I was raised on a plan­tation and found the only way to escape plantation life was through education.”

He continued, “A fter re­ceiving an education, a whole new world opened up for me. I began to understand my beginnings and began to ap­preciate the status of Fili­pinos in Hawaii as an immi­grant group. As a result, I became intensely interested in Filipinos. I think tha t ed­ucation, combined with basic drive, will enable Filipinos to become a more forceful voice in the community.”

Carlos is one of six chil-

spent two years a t the Uni­versity of Hawaii. He enter­ed the University of Chicago in 1955 and received a Bach­elor of A rts degree in 1957. He transferred to the Uni­versity of Chicago Law School and earned a degree in law by 1959.

Ramelb is married to the former Teresita Hilario of

Wahiawa. She is employed as shop manager of Pacific Arts and Crafts in Waikiki. The Remelbs reside a t 1902A Ke- onaoua St.

Prior to his labor depart­ment appointment, Carlos served as deputy attorney general on the staff of A ttor­ney General Shiro Kashiwa.

He was attached to the State Tax Office as an attor­ney.

When asked why he left private law practice to enter government service Ramelb said, “I gave up my private practice, after one and one- half years because I wanted to become familiar with tax­ation. In private practice you never specialize. Most pri­vate attorneys know very little about tax problems.”

Ramelb's labo r department appointment fills a $15,910-per-year job estab­lished by the Reorganization Act of 1959. The position is being filled for the first time.

Carlos will work as Dam­on's right-hand man. Damon is a member of Gov. William Quinn’s cabinet.

aid of education and basic drive, two younger brothers and a younger sister have also entered the professional world. My younger sister is a nurse while one younger brother is a teacher and the other is a civil engineer.

Carlos, bom in Kahuku, Oahu, Dec. 16, 1932, attend­ed Kahuku High School and

dren born to Pedro and Pla- cida Ramelb of Kahuku. He commented, “My older broth­er and sister quit school to help support and educate the family. I went on to college and without this education I could never have attained my present position.”

Ramelb added, “With the

Teho M an ofM a n y Talents

Activities include Photography, TV-Radio, Orchid Raising

“I f you want anything done, select a busy man. The other kind has no time."— Elbert Hubbard, former editor of “The Philistine".

The above quotation might well have been written about Fortunato Teho, publicist with the Cooperative Exten­sion Service Department of the University of Hawaii.

Besides his full-time job with the UH, the wiry, ener­getic and boyishly handsome' Teho manages to find time fo r free-lance photography work, orchid raising and writing articles for such newspapers as the Adver­tiser and the Manila Chron­icle.

People who are constantly bewailing the fact tha t they “simply can’t find the time” for extra-curricular activities

will marvel a t the fact tha t Teho, known- to his friends as “Lucky,” also sandwiches three daily radio shows into that tight sche­dule, along with an inter­view-type television s h o w over KHVH, every Saturday morning.

There, is a belief tha t any­

one with artistic ability of any kind generally is also blessed with the facility to turn a deft hand a t most any line of artistic endeavor he puts his mind to.

No one who has , seen “Lucky's” photographic work or writings would dispute the fact tha t the multi-tal­ented photographer of The Filipino Herald is indeed,

"thrice-blessed and brimming with capabilities.

The only child of immi­grant parents-, Teho was brought to the island of Ka­uai a t a very early age where he spent most" of his child­hood and boyhood days.

Teho maiored in sugar technology pt the University of Hawaii. He completed his

college studies while only 19 and was the youngest mem­ber of his graduating class.

He went to work for a plantation in Kauai and was occupied with agriculture ex­perimentation for the next seven years.

Teho’s plantation work was interrupted fo r a short .period when, he returned to the Philippines.

EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT:How the tax-payer took a beating in the recently

completed legislative budget session. Special in­terests, big business and big labor got together with the vote-conscious legislators to go hog-wild with our money. The House accused the Senate— the Senate accused the House— of fiscal irrespon­sibility . . . Pay raises for government employees, teachers and university faculty and tax reduction for the sugar and pineapple industries were high­lights of the session..

However, passage of new land laws will have the greatest impact on Hawaii's future. This law out­lines policies for the management and control of 1,300,000 acres of public land. And it provides for the selling or leasing of state land, including drawing by lots for residential homesites.

Representative David McClung, Chairman of the House Lands Committee, deserves a great deal of

credit for his uphill fight for the new land law. McClung stood alone at the beginning of this ses­sion. He convinced his fellow- House members that these new laws were urgently needed. By stubborn persistance he slow ly began picking up support

The bill in the House was finally passed by an' overwhelming vote. An important factor was a maneuver led by Rep. Pedro dela Cruz. He co­sponsored a land bill that was not passed; but by its introduction, helped to convince those against passage of McClung's bill, that there, w as public support for land legislation at this session.

Senator O. Vincent Esposito gave Rep. McClung much-needed support at the session’s beginning and was a key factor in the bill's passage in the Senate.

Increase in the minimum hourly wage paid to all workers w as increased. On July 1st, the hour­ly minimum wage will go from $1.00 to $1.15.

Or January 1, 1964,i t w i l l be raised to $1.25.

This will be welcome news to thousands of workers paid by the hour.

Gambling will be studied to determine what ef­fect it has on the citizens in the states that have legal gambling. A resolution passed by the House of Representatives calls for the University o f Ha­waii’s Business Research Bureau to make the study. Twenty-five states have legalized pari- mutual betting on racing.

Hawaii stands out as a resort center that does not have some form of state regulated gambling. Rep. John Lanham of the Wahiawa-Waiaiua Dis­trict, w as the leader in the passage of the gambling study resolution.

The Governorship race w ill offer a large selec­tion o f candidates for the-voters’ approval . . . Hyman M. Greenstein, a Honolulu lawyer, an­nounced his candidacy on th e Democratic ticket. Many voters will agree with his assertion that it’s about time w e have new names and new faces to choose from.

Republican Candidate-For-Govemor James K. “Jimmy” Kealoha, will open his campaign for gov­ernor at a dinner Friday, May 4th, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Dome . . . A Filipino politician in the position to know, ’ had this to' say__about Kealoha: “Jimmy has done more for Filipinos than any other politician in this state.” If such is the case, other candidates should take note . . .

Mayor Gordon S. Clinton extended to Ha­waii’s Filipinos an invitation to attend the Seattle World’s Fair. Mayor Clinton emphasized that there are m any Filipino-Americans living in Seattle. The Fair is celebrating Philippine Week-July 9-15,-with special entertainment from the Philippines. How about some organization sponsoring a Filipino delegation to represent Hawaii?

Green Belt Law:The rapidly growing move­

ment of housing develop­ments in the country areas is helping to ease the critical housing problem but it is costing the 50th state many

f arms, dairies and poultry ranches at the same time.

The highly controversial “Green Belt Law” (Law 187) has separated the state into warring factions but it could be the salvation of-Ha­waii’s land hungry farm, dairy and poultry industries.

Rezoning of farm land to residential land has increased the farm ers' land tax and lease rentals to the point that farm ing is a money losing business.

Hawaii is losing the valu­able experience of these farm ers when they give up their businesses to search for a more reliable source of in­come.

During a shipping strike s u ch as we have ju s t experi- e n ced, can we afford the loss

of local farm, dairy and poul­try products? This might mean tha t 5,000 to 6,000 resi­dents could go without their morning eggs when a. poul- tryman, who is producing 6,000 eggs a day, quits his operation because of sky­rocketing taxes.

In the period between 1958 and 1960 alone, the income from vegetables produced on Oahu dropped from $2,657,000 to $1,997,000.

In the Koko Head region, an area which produced al­most 90 per cent of the car­nations on Oahu in 1959, flower growers are rapidly disappearing. During 1959, the Koko Head area growers reaped $131,957 from the carnation harvest. Some of these carnation growers have moved to other areas but an uncomfortably high percent­age have completely quit farming.

Farm ers forced out be­cause of skyrocketing taxes must virtually s ta rt all over again." Conditioning soil for a

c rop is a time consuming process.

Only one major flower firm is known to still be operating

in the Koko Head area.In addition, Koko Head is

considered by many as one of only two areas on Oahu that are suitable for producing carnations. This means that some of the displaced grow-, ers must either turn to an­other crop or seek employ­ment- to make a living for their families.

In 1958, when Koko Head was a peak producing area, pork income totaled $1,780,- 000. Production for the en­tire state totaled $3,836,000 with $3,069,000 from Oahu.

Dairy income for the state in the same year was $9,981,

000. $8,660,000 came from Oahu and $580,000 from the Koko Head area. The Koko Head region accounted for $590,00 of Oahu’s total of $5,000,000 earnings from poultry. Total for the state was $7,748,000.

State vegetable income for 1958 was $5,624,000 with $2,657,000 coming f r o m Oahu. Koko Head accounted for $170,000 of the total.

With Koko Head contrib­uting 10 to 50 per cent of the total pork, poultry, dairy and vegetable products originat­ing in the state, the disap­pearance of farms, dairies

and poultry ranches in the area poses a serious threat to the economy of the state.

The other side argues that the Green Belt Law will stop growth of rural areas by building a fence around ex­isting communities. Leaders of this faction also fear that the law will cripple indus­trial and residential develop­ment.

The hot potato issue is still being considered for re­vision in the next session by some state legislators despite the fact tha t a move to delay the effective date was beaten down in the recently conclud-

ed session. The legislators have three avenues of action —to delay the effective date of the measure, to let the law stand as passed or to elimin­ate the law altogether.

No matter what action the state’s legislators finally de­cide on, if the issue is brought up again in the next session, many Hawaiians will be disappointed.

To let the law stand as passed may be the only way to keep Hawaii’s agriculture alive and prosperous.

Were the German leaders responsible for the atrocities during World War II tha t took place in Germany, or were these men merely being faithful to their country?

This was the basic question a t the Nuremberg trials in 1945.

While the film “Judgment a t Nuremberg” centers around a particular trial, one referred to as the Judge's Trial (since the defendants were judges) its moral significance is not lessened.

Before further exploring the picture’s merits, I shoul d like to give my opinion of the word “moral.” Most of think of this word in connection with what one ought not do. In this film, however, what I believe to be the greater meaning of the word is exposed; tha t is, the movie concerns tha t which the judges should have done.

The plot of “Judgment a t Nuremberg”, centers around the fact that these judges knowingly condemned innocent people to horrible and unmerited deaths or imprisonment. This seems a fairly simple idea.

I t is extremely significant, however, because for the first time in the modern era, a t least, a victor nation tried a vanquished nation. And for the first time in the modern era, a nation committed crimes against its own people and those in occupied areas purely on the basis of their political affiliations or race.

After hearing this, one thinks the moral judgm ent to simple. But, as Maximillian Schell points out, he is the defense counsel), “who is the greater coward, the man who leaves his country in time of peril, or the man who stays in her leadership in order to further aid her?”

The most interesting character is E rnst Janning, a bril-

Hg liant intellectual noted for his sense of justice, who is respec- ted for his integrity, yet who stays on with the Third Reich- because he believes it to be in

the best interests of his coun- try.

His motives were not cor­rupt as were those of the other judges. They call him a

Economic, Social, Political Report

Education K ey To ProgressBy JIM COWAN

(This is the second of three articles concerning the social, econom ic and political role of the Filipinos in Hawaii.)

If a comparison of one's educa­tion to one’s occupation,is a fair one, it might be said that as the education of Filipinos grows, so will the standard of living.

A s more and more Filipinos graduate from high school and go on to college, greater oppor­tunities w ill arise for them in

b u siness, industry and the pro­f e s s i o n s .

According to a report to be pub­lished by Robert A. Sousa, the percentage of Filipinos who have completed high school and who have gone on to college is far be­low the average for Oahu.

On the other hand, the percent­age of Filipinos who have attended grade school only is far greater than the average figure.

For instance, 31.0 per cent,of Filipinos have completed high school and/or have gone on to further study. The Oahu average is 63.7 per cent.

The percentage of Filipinos who attended one or more years college is 5.3 compared to an rage of 25.6. The percentage

of Filipinos who are college gradu­ates is 1.6 compared to an average of 14.9 in Oahu.

The percentage of Filipinos who attended grade school only is 42.2 compared to an average of 17.4 per cent.

In large part this accounts for only 3.0 per cent of Filipinos who are in the professions compared to an average in Oahu o f 12.2.

So that the employment per­centages which follow w ill not be

confusing, the reader should keep in mind that the occupations list­ed are actual jobs performed. For instance, not all plantation work­ers are listed as farm laborers. They are listed according to the work the do, such as a truck driv­er being listed under “operative.”

The greatest percentage o f Fil­ipinos, 25.4, are craftsmen and foremen, compared to an overall average of 18.4 per cent of heads of households in Hawaii in this category.

A percentage of 10.4 are in the armed services compared to an average of 19.6 Three per cent of Filipinos are managers, officials and proprietors (except farm) compared to an average of 12.8. Next to the greatest oc­cupational group is operatives who comprise 22.4 per cent com­pared to an average of 9.6. Six per cent of Filipinos are clerical workers compared to an average of 9.4; 7.5 per cent are service workers compared to an average of 4.7; 3 per cent are sales work­ers compared to an average of 4.6; 13.4 per cent are laborers (except farm) compared to an average of 2.6; .7 per cent are farm laborers and foremen com­pared to an average of .2; 3.7 per cent are listed as not em­ployed, retired, etc., compared1 to an average of 5.4 and statis­tics show a negligible number Filipinos as farmers and farm managers compared to an aver­age of .4. Occupations not re­ported comprise 1.5 per cent compared to an average of .1.According to figures compiled in

1959 by the Hawaiian Sugar Plant­ers Association, 4,325 of 9,735 plantation employees on Oahu are

Filipinos, 4,895 of 11,097 on Kauai are Filipinos, 3,310 of 11,476 on Maui and 6,157 of 17,596 em­ployees on Hawaii are Filipino plantation employees.

The report stated that the popu­lation of plantation employees in the Hawaiian Islands is dropping about 1.000 a year, however.

One must remember that while the above figures are accurate, they do not tell the whole story.

The majority of first generation Filipinos who migrated to Hawaii have only limited educations while the second and third generation Filipinos parallel and in some cases exceed the standards set by other ethnic groups.

Statistics show that thousands of y.ounger Filipinos are complet­ing high school and going on to colleges and business institutions.

According to the Romanzo Adams Social Research laboratory of the University of Hawaii, a study in 1957 showed that a total number of employed persons over 14 years of age, 26,302 were Fil­ipinos at that time. -The^total listed then was 165,339. Of this number, 24,840 (of 119,860) were male and 1,462 (of 45,479) were female. The total percentage of the Filipino population employed was 58.8. Of the male Filipino population, 70.9 per cent were em­ployed while 15.2 per cent of the Filipino population was listed as employed.

Since there has been no marked change in the emmigration or im­migration of Filipinos, it can be assumed that these percentages have remained about the same in the past five years.

H AW AII'SFILIPINOS

In Radio and TVFaustino Respicio admits

freely tha t a siege of ner­vousness hits just as the camera zeroes in but most viewers would never know it because Respicio, a veteran of 10 years in Hawaii tele­vision, is in command of the situation a t all times.

Respicio is the star, pro­ducer and program director for his weekly two-and-one- half-hour “Filipino Fiesta” television program which is screened throughout the is­lands over the KONA tele­vision network.

The 56-year-old master of ceremonies^ quickly shakes his case of nerves and pa­rades a cast that sometimes numbers in the hundreds on and off camera. Though some of the performers are not as conscious of the need for pre­cision timing, Respicio is quick to fill the gaps that arise from time to time, and the audience seldom knows that the show was not origi­nally planned exactly as it is telecast.

In addition to his televi­sion duties, Respicio presents the “Filipino Fiesta” pro­gram on Radio KIKI from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Satur­days and from 8 a.m. to noon and from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sun­days. Including his TV show (1 to 3:30 p.m.), Respicio puts in a total of 9 1/2 hours of almost continuous broad­casting and telecasting on Sundays.

Respicio began his radio career back in 1946 with Ra­dio KULA when he initiated Filipino programming for tha t station. He moved to Radio KHON (now KPOI) for about two years before returning to KULA. He be­came the director of “Fili- pino Fiesta” at KIKI seven years ago.

His television career dates back 10 years to KULA-TV. He moved to KONA seven years ago.

Respicio’s show is the only Filipino program on television

in the islands. P art of the program is carried in Ilocano since 98 per cent of the Filipinos in Hawaii are reported to understand that dialect.

The program features Fili­pino and Spanish f o l k dances, news from the Phil­ippines, mostly latin mu and visits of Filipino digni­taries.

Each Tuesday . Respicio contacts performers selected to appear on the following Sunday’s program. Three troups of Filipino dancers; The Pearl of the Orient Troupe; under the direction

P at Valentin; Steps Un­

limited, under the direction of Miss Aurelia Viernes and Sampaguita, under the direc­tion of Mrs. Fely Santos ro­tate on the show along with a Spanish troupe, Los Dan- ceros, which is directed by Bill Duarte.

B a n d s and orchestras which frequently appear on the program include FilAm Veteran Club Band, Batalan Family Orchestra and the Continental Combo.

After selecting the acts, Respicio holds rehearsals at the studios of the respective acts. Music, songs and dances are perfected at this session.

Respicio has, a general script to go by but most of the show is adlib. Respicio said, “I enjoy the show very much but it is strenuous and time consuming.”

Prior to his radio and tele­vision work, Respicio pub­lished the “Filipino” maga­zine b e f o r e and during World War II. He also con­ducted a special radio pro­gram over station KGU for the purpose of encouraging Filipinos to contribute to the w ar effort... Respicio was affiliated with the W ar Bond office during the w ar and directed one three-month bond drive that raised more than $2 million. He received congratulations from f o r m e r President Franklin D. Roosevelt for the success of the bond drive.

One special edition of his magazine was dedicated to .General MacArthur and was dropped all over the Philippines by U.S. Army planes. This edition, a t the time of the liberation of the Philip­pines, urged Filipinos to aid MacArthur in the redevelop­ment of the Philippines.

Officials of the United States Information Service interviewed Respicio for the Voice of America publication and the story was distributed throughout the world. Res­picio has received letters off- and-on from all over the world since tha t time.

Respicio was born and ed­ucated in the Philippines. He arrived in Hawaii in 1931.

Other members of the Fil­ipino radio and television fraternity are Clem Reyes Sr.,-Cefy Reyes, Nora Albay- alde, Jose Galura and Eddie BarcenftS of

BARRIO FIESTA extends sincere best wishes for a happy Easter. May the blessings of this Easter Season bring joy and gladness to all, and may peace and love o f Christ reign in every heart.

This day brings nostalgia to most o f us. If w e were in the Philippines the spirit o f the Holy Week would be more impressive and touching to the millions o f devotees. Why? As the Phil­ippines is 90% a Catholic country, the Holy Week is strictly observed. Holy W eek is' observed with piety, sacrifice, humility, love and forgiveness. On Holy Thursday and Holy Friday thousands of devotees come to town to worship the Lord. They join the long procession around town un­mindful of the heat and the dust. Easter Sunday so called DOMINGO PASCUA or DOMINGO ALLELUJAH is a day of merriment and celebra­tion. It is a d ay of glorification. Each home has prepared delicious delicacies, foods and cakes for their visitors.

The barrio lass comes to town with her beautiful colorful dress. There is music everywhere; the band plays melodic tunes; the bells ring telling the world Christ has risen!

ft Yes, Easter is the greatest o f events in the Church; the m ost wonderful miracle that ever happened. It is the resurrection of Christ, the third day that the tomb was empty. The empty tomb was a triumph over death and His resurrec­tion w as a triumph over evil.

This is the joyous day on which we should pledge our risen Saviour that w e shall permit no power on earth, no desire o f our bodies, no evil example, to turn us away from His service and love.

Maui Council’s Flores de Mayo FestivalThe Maui Council o f Filipino Catholic Clubs will

hold their annual Flores de Mayo on May 22 at St. Anthony’s Church grounds. A recitation of the rosary during the procession will precede Benedic­tion with a program at Marian Hall. The Wailuku Unit w ill host the program.

East-West Echosby Felipe L de Guzman

Former Philippine Consults Son JAL Cargo Supervisor“Aloha” becomes “camu-

sta” when it comes from Justo L. Pena.

“Tito,” as he is known, if the Cargo Handling Super­visor of Japan Air Lines’ Honolulu offiice and is al­ways ready and willing to help passengers, especially those who have come from the Philippines and whose daily language is Tagalog, Ilocano or Spanish.

Born in Manila in 1925, Tito completed his schooling in the Philippines and ar­rived in Honolulu in Febru­ary, 1947. His father was then Consul General of the Philippines in Honolulu.

Tito’s airline career began in October of the same year, when he joined Philippine Air Lines as a counter agent, later becoming the man in charge of commissary sup­plies. He was holding the sta­tion passenger and cargo agent position when the air­line suspended its interna- tional flights in April- of 1954.

With six and a half years of experience, Tito could not resist the “itch” to stay in the airline field.

In November of 1954, he joined Japan Air Lines’ Ho­nolulu office as the 15th mem­ber of the JAL family here.

Recalling the good ol’ days, Tito remembers when JAL was operating only two flights a week. Today’s busy schedule includes daily east- bound and westbound flights between Tokyo, Honolulu and the West Coast of the U.S. mainland. Beginning April 24, JAL will add two new weekly flights on ToSyo- Honolulu-Los Angeles route and one new Tokyo-Honolulu turn-around flight.

For the first few years, Tito’s job was classified as Clearance Agent, which call­ed for the full utilization of his experience with Philip­pine A ir Lines. His careful and meticulous documenta­tion soon earned Japan Air Lines a high reputation with government agencies, includ­ing the U.S. Customs, U.S. Immigration a n d Public /Health Service.

Flipping back the calendar to his early days in the Phil- ippines, Tito finds a sweet- sour memory of his romantic

experience. I t began when he learned that one of his dear­est childhood friends was leaving the Philippines to take up residence in Honolu­lu as a military dependent of her father, then, a sergeant in the U.S. Army. I t was in December of 1946. Tito and Martina shed many tears, thinking tha t their separa­tion would be a permanent one.

Later, when Tito came to Honolulu, there was a joyous reunion. They were married in 1949. They now have five children: Ferdinand, 11 1/2; Michael, 10 1/2 ; David, 7; Christopher, 6; and Tina Ma­rie, 11 months old.

In the meantime, Tito’s, father, Salvador Pena, left the diplomatic service to be­come President of the Philippines’ Tourist and Travel

Association, a promotional organization fully backed by the government of the Phil­ippines.

Asked about the origin of his nickname, Tito explains, tha t his former boss had trouble pronouncing “Justo” correctly.' He couldn’t man­age the H-like sound of the J ! So he picked up the last pa rt of “Justito” and began calling him “Tito.” Tito jok­ingly adds tha t he has no re­lationship whatsoever to Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia!

Tito speaks Tagalog, Ilo­cano and Spanish in addition to English. He also partici­pates in such sports as bas­ketball, swimming and volleyball. He is also quite an

entertainer, w i t h mambo- calipso steps accompanied by his vocal talents. ,

For the benefit o f those who like to think that Friendship University is a much-sought-after in­stitution, hear this from Anthony G. Okotcha of Nigeria. Okotcha studied at Friendship U. Being a dynamic student leader, he was asked to help pick out Nigerians for M oscow’s center o f “cultural and technical interchange.”

Before long, however, the truth dawned upon Okotcha. Despite the dangers which he knew would come to him and his family, he made the bold decision to tell the world what Friendship University is really like.

Okotcha wrote that Africans and Asians at Friendship University are trained “to declare an all-out'w ar on Western democracy.” To kill. To stage demonstrations. To lead rebellions. To or­ganize fifth columns. “How quickly the professors in the Friendship University can transform a ra­tional being,” Okotcha said.

Okotcha’s report .was published in the July 16, 1961 issue of the London Sunday Telegraph, ex­cerpts o f which were reprinted in the August 1961 issue o f the AFL-CIO Free Trade Union News.

Filipino students at the University o f Hawaii have decided to organize and call their association “The Rizalians.”

The following were chosen to draft a constitu­tion of the proposed association: Cecilio Alconsel, Diosdado Asuncion, Rica Bautista, Eduardo Corpuz, Rollo de la Fuente, and this writer.

Historical note on Rizal, hence The Rizalians: Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines. As a young scholar abroad, he worked hard to obtain reforms from the Spanish government then ruling the Philippines. For his liberal ideas, he was shot to death by the Spaniards.

Gloria Andaya, Alice Benitez, Laura Garilao, Reynaldo Dante Juanta, Rudy Pascua, and Catalino Yaptenco, Jr. are managing a cultural program to be staged by the Filipino students in Honolulu sometime soon. If in luck, they might be able to present “Juan Tamad Goes to Congress”—a Fili­pino satirical epic which only the Filipinos can depict on the screen—in addition to other features. W atch for further announcement on this.

Three young and pretty girls named Antonia, Victoria, and Rica— all surnamed Bautista and re­siding at 2021 9th Avenue, Honolulu—have shown recently the real spirit in promoting friendships. Although non-students at present, they have volun­teered to join The Rizalians. They will be the first to be listed as “special” members as soon as the association’s constitution comes into being. They are daughters o f Mr. and Mrs. Potenciano Bautista and the sisters of Dr. Mario Bautista of 744 Elepeio Street, Honolulu.

Hosts to foreign students in Honolulu during the past few months include Mr. and Mrs. Jesus Cay- aban, 45009 Kaneohe Bay Drive; Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Fabrao, 1244 Kapalama Avenue; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mateo, Ewa; JWr. and Mrs. Roy Echi- verri, 99630 Kaulainahee Place; Mr. and Mrs. Julian Abella, .1660 Auiki; Dr. and Mrs. Arturo Salcedo, 701 Twin View Drive; and Dr. and Mrs. Allan

5, 3596 W oodlawn Drive.

The latest tabulation o f students from other lands under the East-W est Center, as released by the Office o f Public Information this month, shows a total o f 249 grantees.

By countries: Australia, 1; Borneo, 1; Burma, 9; Cambodia, 4; Ceylon, 2; China, 27; Fiji, 3; Hong Kong, 4; Malaya, 1; Nepal, 5; N ew Zealand, 1; Okinawa, 2; Pakistan 6; the Philippines, 27; Samoa, 2; Singapore, 1; Thailand, 14; Trust Territories, 3; United States, 37 (18 states); and Viet Nam, 1.

The most popular fields o f study by East-West"

Center grantees are: Agriculture, 36; English, 29; Government, 19, and Education, 18.

The Oahu Counselors Association bewailed the fact, during their eighth annual conference, from April 13 to 14, that “Orientals are not as par­ticipating in social and civic affairs as are Cau­casians." In that conference, those from the Fili­pino ethnic group were conspicuous by their ab­sence. As a Filipino, I ask: Why?

Many boxes o f used books are being sent to the Philippines by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Peterson of 1315 Opua Street, Honolulu. These books have been collected by the couple and their sons Tony, Tom and Fred from various Honolulu schools, or­ganizations, and individuals, including the Depart­ment o f Education.

The oldest Peterson son, Timothy, the first Peace Corps Volunteer from Hawaii to be assigned in the Philippines, has been doing a tremendously fine job in Sabang, San Jose Partido. Camarines Sur, he asked for books—any kind o f books—for his book-hungry school children.

The books .the Petersons are sending their PCV son, through a U.S. Navy ship soon, include used texts and supplementary “readers and references in science, social studies, arithmetic, music, and others. They range all the way from first grade to tenth grade material. Tw o, .sets o f encyclo- pedias~are included also.

A. Timothy Peterson, American PCV in the Philippines, and his first-hand impressions o f the Philippines and the Filipino people will be fea­tured in the Filipino Herald of Hawaii through an exclusive across-the-Pacific interview with this writer.

You’ve got to hear a foreigner’s first-hand im­pressions, and see how close or how far he comes to what you know of the place and the people yourself!

Also, from Indiana, a Filipina scholar, (whose youthful idealism reminds us of Rizal del Pilar, ahd Lopez-Jaena) tells her “Manong Fef” what she thinks of the Filipino in America. She doesn’t mince words. If only '(or her sincerity and frank­ness, her observations as told to this writer (an­other exclusive!) are worth reading. W atch for “A Filipina Scholar in America” which will come to you through the pages of this paper soon.

Anent the New sw eek story about the East-West Center, the local press seemed to be in full agree­ment. N o one dared contradict it. It took non- Hawaiians to take the cudgels for the young, fledgling institution.

Within the university community, Cal Scollon, Executive Director o f the Friends of the East- W est Center, told secondary school students in conference at Roosevelt High School: “The News­week story is not factually balanced.” Carol Holtz- man, an editor of Contact, EWCGA publication, wrote in the second issue of her paper that “the Newsweek writer did not check his information.”

But these were faint voices!The East-West Center deserves every right-

minded American’s support. And one kind- of sup­port that this institution needs is true, unbiased, up-to-date publicity.

Students from other lands who dine at Elliott’s Atherton House Cafeteria should expect special service from now on. Reason: Mrs. Jan Street, Manager, has been promoted to Public Relations Officer for the Family of Elliott’s Cafeterias.

With the appointment o f vice-chancellors for

the East-W est Center, w e can more reasonably expect great things. In every undertaking, organi­zation is important. It is basic.

HAWAII’S VETERANS NOT GETTING FULL BENEFITOF VETERANS ADMINISTRATION HOME LOAN PLAN

So you want to buy a home

under the Veterans Admini­stration home loan program ?

This is a comparatively, simple procedure and is be­ing done every day by thous­ands of veterans and service­men still on active duty. In fact, five million veterans have bought homes with the' aid of the VA program since the end of World W ar II.

The VA program has done much to aid veterans in the other 49 states but ju s t how effective is the program in Hawaii where the cost of erecting a house and buying the land it sits upon is as much as three times higher than on the mainland.

Despite the wide difference in the cost of housing in Ha­waii and the Mainland, the Veterans Administration can still guarantee only $7,500 of the loan.

In many areas of the main­land, a house and lot may be purchased for as little as $10,000. Few lots on the Is­land of Oahu sell for less than $10,000. Many pur­chasers are forced to pay as much as $17,000 to $25,000 for modest homes without the lot.

With the inflated cost of housing in Hawaii, how do our veterans fare in their ef­forts to purchase a home, farm or business property?

To learn the answer to this question, the Filipino Herald solicited the assistance of the Veterans Administration re­gional office in Honolulu.

A VA official said, “We do know that anytime the price goes above $20,000, we find tha t veterans begin experi­encing difficulty in meeting t h e credit requirements. However, many loans are be­ing made with the. ratio of shelter costs to take home pay tha t borders on the up­per permissible limit.”

He continued, “In other words, the average ratio of shelter cost is higher locally than it is on a mainland av­erage. If the average pur­chase prices for established and proposed construction were $13,300-$15,300 respec- tively, as they are nationally, there would be a tremendous increase in VA loan applica-

tions.”Only 14 per cent of Ha­

waii’s veterans of the World War II and Korean conflicts have filed for VA loans while the national average is 29 per cent. The VA official stated, “The number of GI loans in Hawaii also depends on the availability of mort- gage money. Money was

Letter From Former E -W Center Student

practically unavailable be­cause of the large discounts demanded by investors a few years ago. GI money through local lending institutions has become more plentiful since 1957.”

VA officials do not feel that raising the $7,500 guar­antee limit would aid the veterans. In fact, they be­lieve that it might cause him grief instead. True, raising ■the limit would make it eas­ier for a veteran to purchase a home but it would not make any difference on his ability to repay the loan.

The department stressed tha t loans are being made in excess of $20,000 despite the $7,500 guarantee.

VA officials can see no im­mediate solution to the prob­lem except finding a way to reduce the cost of housing in the island s .

The National average of $13,300-$15,300 is fa r lower than Hawaii’s. Official fig­ures have not been compiled but the cheapest advertised price for a home on a land- lease basis is near $15,700 while the lowest advertised price for a home with the land included is near $17,500. The $17,500 priced homes are in a rural district.

Filipina

CuisineBy CORA LABRADOR

With many races contributing their own brand of cookery, a melting pot of cuisine is emerging in Hawaii, which will even­tually be known as “typically Hawaiian.” Already the average homemaker serves sukiyaki one day, laulau the next; broiled steak or barbecued ribs; enchiladas or egg fuyong, another. Yet Philippine food is relatively unknown.

This column will therefore be dedicated to filling this void, adding Philippine cookery to Hawaii’s Calabash of food. The recipes will be authentic ones used by Filipino women through­out the ages. The ingredients will not only be available in the Islands but are inexpensive when in season. We will feature ways of using local produce, that while new to Hawaii’s housewives are “old hat” to the Filipino. For instance, the use of buko, the soft meat of the young coconut, as a fruit for salads or desserts. Or fresh fern leaves as a vegetable in soups, casseroles or as a salad green. We will also give our readers a chance to try ourmany dishes of national fame, such as adobo or putsero, and ofcourse as many varieties of pancit or noodles as there are islands.

Each time we come to the end of our column, we hope you, our guest and reader will feel that you have not only previewed an adventure in eating but more important, haye learned some­thing of the life and culture of the Philippines.

Hawaii and the Mainland have one thing in common when it comes to profession­al boxing.

Groups organized to ban boxing may not have to work even a little bit to reach their g o a l because, if - current trends continue, the sport may die out for lack of in­terest and support.

From the World War II years qnd the early 1950s when boxing in the islands hit its peak, the sport has crumbled to where there are only 45 licensed boxers, in­cluding five Filipinos, in Ha­waii.

All of the licensed boxers are from Oahu because the sport is limited to the one island. There are no fights held bn the outer islands.

Sam Ichinose of Boxing Enterprises, Ltd., is the lone licensed promoter in Hawaii and he does not stage weekly cards.

Only one of the Filipino boxers now fighting out of H a w a i i , Rocky Kalingo (147), has attained national recognition. And he is origi­nally from the Philippines.

Other licensed Filipino boxers are Danny Brown (135), Little Hufana (125), Baby Brown (126) and Kid Walgast (140).

Most of the main eventers for local boxing cards are imported from the Mainland or from other countries.

Even during 'the peak

“THE FILIPINO HERALD”

PRESENTS:"BARRIO BANTER"

. . . a w itty, perceptive view o f local and national govern­ment — by JUAN PAKUAN, Hawaii’s n e w e s t political writer.

"BARRIO FIESTA". . . Familiar' to thousands, she warmed your heart with her glowing commentary over the radio w aves— how -read RUMELIA FLORES as she re­ports the latest happenings throughout the N e i g h b o r

years, when such fighters as Flashy Sebastian, C l e v e r Henry, Dado Marino, Rush Dalma and Reno Abelleira were in action, boxing was not really big time in Ha­waii. The bulk of the fighters were Filipinos during this period.

The top fighters travelei to the Mainland or other na­tions to pick up the fatter purses.

Many ring officials blame the plight of boxing on the fact tha t crowds are no long­er bloodthirsty and fighters are no longer “hungry.” Many youths, who are poten­tial boxers, do not have the desire to meet the rigid and strenuous training standards which are necessary to pre­pare a boxer for the ring. They figure tha t there must be an easier way to make a living.

The recent Bobo 01son=. Pete Rademacher fight drew a crowd of 6,000 and grossed a- gate of $22,431. This fight was considered big time by many islanders. Mainlanders would not have attached that much importance to that bout.

Many exhibitions by top fighters draw 6,000 or more fans on the ' Mainland but boxing is suffering there also due to poor support and high promotion costs. Very few weekly cards are still main­tained anywhere in the na­tion because only fights in­volving the big names ar.e able to attract enough fans to make staging the fight program profitable.

Despite the “Bush League”

nature of boxing in Hawaii, it is well controlled.

Boxing here is under the supervision of the State Box­ing Commission, a division of the Department of Treas­ury and Regulation. A board of five commissioners, in­cluding chairman Yonoichi

Atagawn, Max M. Fontes,

mi, Juan Valentin and execu­tive secretary Robert M. Lee, administer the program.

State appointed referees are apparently well versed and attempt to prevent fight­ers from taking too much punishment. This is support­ed by the fact tha t serious injuries are. rare and no deaths have occurred in the ring in the past 10 years.

Boxing experts do not look for the sport to vanish al­together. Instead, they figure that it will eventually follow the pattern of-the=circus.

Most of the big time cir­cuses stopped their regular tours around the country be­cause of failing attendance. A fter a brief spell of inactiv­ity, the same circuses switch­ed to extended runs in big cities and television.

Boxing may have to travel the same route to survive. This means tha t regular cards, which provide a living for the fighter who has not yet attained a name, will give way to now-and-then fights involving- only the big names.

Staging fights for televi­sion and movie screens are probably the only other methods of keeping boxing “alive.”

Neuroses Peculiar To The Filipinos

(2nd Part of a Three-Part Series)

By JUNE GUTMANIS

Are Filipinos as a whole concerned _ about local problems of their people? Do they have any interest in con­tributing to their sociological prog­ress? If The Filipino Herald had any doubts they were immediately dis­pelled when our second issue was published.

W e soon discovered just how in­terested the majority of Filipinos are in these problems when we were flooded with calls pointing out, that

our story was incomplete. W e chagrined to discover that a major portion of this article was inadvert­antly left out— due, no doubt, to the work of some mischievous menehunes For the benefit of those who are hanging in suspense because, as one caller wailed plaintively: " . . . it left me up in the air— I must know how it ends!"— we are reprinting most of the latter part of the article herewith:

(Copyrighted April. 1962)

THE GREATEST PROBLEM in rehabilitating Filipino mental patients is the lack of family or substitute family ties.

The support of family affec­tion and interest is missing and when the patient w orld nor­mally be released, there is no place for him to go.

In most cases, friends misun­derstanding the nature of men­tal Illness, refuse to associate w ith former patients.

Employers also, as a rule, refuse to allow their return, further cut­ting them off from normal life. With no place to go and no one to care for them, all too many must remain in the hospital.

TWO PROGRAMS HAVE HELP­ED RELIEVE THIS SITUATION. Using certain employment benefits due former plantation workers, a number of men have been returned to the Philippines. These cases are carefully studied to make sure the patient wants to return, is med­ically ready to return and w ill be accepted by his family if he does return.

In almost every case, the re­newed family ties! friendly and familiar cultural environment have worked wonders. The men adjust w ell and if not too old, are often able to carry on productive lives!

-Recently a .limited program' of “foster homes” have proven'equal­ly successful. Under this program the state pays older Filipino couples to act as adoptive families for patients. For men who have

The program has been so successful the State would like to expand it, but there are not enough families willing to give this much needed help.

In many cases an old people’s home oriented to Filipino cultural needs could provide help. That Filipinos are the only major ethnic group in the Islands who have not provided such an institution for their older members has been cause for much just criticism.

That the Filipino community has not provided this much needed fa­cility. Dr. Evora feels is the re­sult o f an underlying emotional problem common to all Filipinos: a massive inferiority complex.• It has resulted in a strong em­phasis on personal security but in­hibits them from tackling and sus­taining such projects.

It also accounts for the small number o f Filipino politicians, and non-participation in the activities of other groups.

Although the idea of a “group complex” may be hard to ac­cept, all groups that have identi­fiable characteristics, whether by nationality, religion or inter­ests, have complexes of some sort.

In the Filipinos, it began hun­dreds of years ago, when multi­racial peoples of the many Is­lands, feeling their way to what promised to be a vigorous amal-

The cruel rulers who had suc­cessfully eradicated the A ztec na­tion, were unable to destroy the evolving Filipino, but left a sad imprint.

The bitterly lost, short-lived freedom of 1898 further depressed the national spirit.

American rule—though relative­ly gentle— left Filipinos largely in subservient roles.

What can be done to improve the mental health o f the Filipino Community?

“Individually,” recommends Dr. Evora, “if w e find w e can’t cope with our problems, or if our actions are causing pain to our families and friends, w e should seek professional help. Either through public health agencies or privately. If It is our family or friends who need aid w e should try to guide them to the proper help.”Although only time will change

the sex ratio, individuals can help with som e o f the problems it pre­sents.

If each family took as an adop­tive uncle or grandfather, one unmarried man without family ties, the good accomplished would affect the entire com­munity.

Where the,- family friends in­clude men o f marriageable-age, an attempt should be made to intro­duce them to appropriate women from other groups.

Filipino Youtti StarsFor Hawaii U. N ine

University o f Hawaii baseball coach Hank Tominaga reported yester­day that much of his team ’s success or failure this season will rest on the shoulders of slugging outfielder Fausto Grado, a native Hawaiian o f Filipino ancestry.

Grado, in his’ fourth season with the Rainbows, paced his team at the plate last season and claimed the Hawaii Civilian-Service Major Baseball League in 1960 with a ,346 batting average.

Grado is the captain of the Rainbows, who will begin play in the new Hawaii Major .League Friday, April 13, against the Asahi’s at Honolulu Stadium. The Asahi’s championed the league last season while UH finished secbnd.

Other teams who are scheduled to compete in the league w ith UH are the Rural Red Sox, Hawaii Giants and Braves. A ll but the Rural Red Sox are from Honolulu.

In addition to the league games, UH w ill play several games with service teams..

Grado w as raised in W aialua and graduated from St. Louis High school in 1958. He-turned in a glittering career In baseball while letter­ing at S t Louis H igh.

The diamond ace is married. H e and his w ife -Phyllis have one child. Because-he is a family man, Grade’s feats are even more spectacular.

In addition to carrying a full load in school and competing in athletics, Grado holds down g job In Honolulu to support h is family.

Coach Tominaga,'who rates Grado one o f the greatest players that he has ever coached, reports that the slugger also ranks high scholas­tically and has excellent character.

Tominaga said, “The Major Leagues are after him. They are just waiting for h lm -to graduate so that they can attem pt to sign him ”

Tominaga continued, “If Grado continues to hit, our chances look go6d In the league this season.”

North To Alaska Low Cost Vacation Plan To Second Newest State

Spring has come and sum­mer will be here soon. And vacations!

Good vacations are well planned. I t is in the spring when summer vacation plan­ning should be completed.

I wonder ju s t how many readers of our new Filipino Herald are going on a vaca­tion this summer? I also wonder how many of you would like a really different and exciting trip to our nor­thernmost and second new­est state—Alaska?

You are probably asking yourself, wouldn’t it be ex­pensive? What is there to see and do? You may be sur­prised a t the answers.

Alaska is a land of beauti­ful snow-capped mountain^ and glaciers, fish-filled lakeg and streams, vast untouched areas of natural beauty and the best hunting and fishing in the world.

This is also a land of gold prospectors, fishermen and trappers. This “last frontier” of rugged individualists cov­ers an area about a third the size of the continental United States but has a total popula­tion of only slightly over 200,000.

What I am going to sug­gest is not an organized tour. In fact, I suggest just the op­posite—a do-it-yourself trip. This is something tha t can be done by individuals, families or-groups.

By using my methods, you can make the trip as inter­esting, exciting and inexpen­sive as possible.

Many people spend thous­ands of dollars to go to Alas­ka for'two weeks or so. But I- will give you a plan to do it for fa r less—less than most people would believepossible. If it were not for the high expense of transportation to the mainland, a trip to Alas­ka would be remarkably in­expensive.

In fact, you can travel to Alaska f r o m California, spend two weeks or more in the 49th state and return to California for $200 or less. From Hawaii, the cost of such a trip should be be­tween $400 and $500, includ­ing food, transportation and lodging.

Hawaiians can fly to Los Angeles or San Diego from Honolulu in one of the sup­plemental carrier a ir lines at a cost of $75 to $80.

If you go to San Diego, you can take a look a t Mex­ico’s border cities, which are close as 15 miles. This por­tion of the tr ip should not cost more than $10.

Then, in either San Diego or Los Angeles, you can pick up a new car and head north. In Los Angeles, vacationers may see such sights as Dis­neyland, Pacific Ocean Park, Knott’s Berry Farm, Marine- land, the Hollywood movie studios a n d many other

sights. Pacific Ocean Park in Santa Monica is the best fi­nancial bet. One dollar and 50 cents covers everything, including unlimited rides.

As you continue up the state of California, such cities as San Francisco, San­ta Barbara and Monterrey may be included in the agen- ,da. Then travel to Seattle, Wash., and stop over to see the World’s Fair, which will be in Seattle all summer and fall.

The next hop is from Se­attle to Alaska over the Al­can Highway, a distance' of more than 2,500 miles. This will take a minimum of five days from Seattle. To see all the sights and do some fish­ing in Canada, visitors should allow seven to 10 days.

I t is much more fun and less expensive to camp out along the way instead of staying in lodges. Lodges along the route are very ex­pensive.

A fter a scenic trip from California and along the Alaska Highway,-you arrive in Alaska. This trip should not have cost you much more than $50:

The secret to this inex­pensive travel is to drive a

-brand new car to Alaska for a dealer or for. one. of the car delivery companies. You get free transportation and get paid for it a t the same time..

These companies usually pay a t least expenses of the' car and some of them pay even more. It costs about $500 more on the price of a new car to have it shipped to Alaska. Therefore, many customers, when they"order a new car through a dealer, prefer to have it driven up the highway.

They save as much as $300 on delivery costs and some­body gets a free trip to Alas- ’ ka. Why shouldn’t tha t some­body be you?

Dealers in California and Seattle are usually very lib­eral and reasonable about, giving individual drivers or families plenty of time for sightseeing before delivering the cars. They are usually happy to allow a t least two weeks.

Some travel arid sightsee­ing with the new cars can be done even in Alaska before the car is finally delivered in Anchorage or Fairbanks.

Then you have tim e to spend in Alaska and if you are careful, you can see and do a lot and spend very little. Remember, t h a t camping out, both along the Alaska Highway and while in that state, can'save you a lot of money.

I t is warm in the summer so regular clothes and a jack­et will be sufficient for the trip . People in Alaska are not fancy, so you don’t heed to dress up. I t is light almost

all night in this land of the Midnight Sun, so you will have long days to do things.

The only remaining ex­pense is the plane ticket to Honolulu, which should be purchased in. advance.

I f you are interested in big game hunting — moose,

caribou, bear, sheep and goat, plan to reach Alaska about Aug. 20 for the open­ing day of the hunting sea­son.

Alaska is a place tha t very few Hawaiians, ever see. Hunters pay thousands of

dollars just to go there for a few days of hunting.

By following this plan, you can visit the 49th state for very little.

Go North to Alaska for a wonderful and unexcelled ex­perience.

Carroll was an official of the United Stated Life Insur­ance Company of New York a t the end of World W ar II. The company did very well in the Philippines. It sold $50 million worth of policies.
