Can U.S. Afford Loss Of Philippines Friendship? While President John F. Kennedy is attempting to get the

United States legislature to reconsider repeated rejections of a $73 million payment to the Philippines for World War II damages, U.S.-Philippines relations are suffering.

Since the days when the Philippines was one of the United States’ territories, the two countries have been the best of friends. But now this long smoldering issue may completely split the two former friends.

To emphasize his disgust with the United States, Philip­pines President Diosdado Macapagal recently postponed a state visit to the U.S. and announced his plans for changing the Philippines’ Independence Day from July 4 to June 12.

Macapagal's state visit was to include a stop in Honolulu and Hawaii’s residents of Filipino ancestry were eagerly awaiting his arrival. This newspaper sincerely hopes that the U. S. Congress can see its way clear to pay this sum, re­tain the friendship of the Philippines and reschedule Maca- pagal’s visit a t the earliest possible date.

Ben Dillingham, a recently announced candidate for the U. S. Senate said, “The U.S. has a habit of kicking its friends in the pants and handing out money to its enemies.” In this case, the Filipino Herald completely agrees with the Senate candidate.

Tobacco politics is blamed in many circles for the defeat of the bill to pay the Philippines’ claim. In this issue, the Herald presents the first of a three-part series which ex­plores the Philippines’ struggle to regain its tobacco market, the War Damages Claims and a possible $300 million sta­bilization loan.

As one politician said, “The way the United States is handing out billions and billions for this and that, it would seem to hie that it would be worthwhile paying this com­paratively small claim, with or without justification, just to cement- the bond of friendship with the Philippines.”

As the Herald goes to press, we hope tha t the U.S. will finally decide to pay the claim so tha t we may pave the way to extend Hawaii’s famed hospitality to the Philippines President.

Philippines Struggle To Regain Tobacco M arket

Some of the Parker Ranch employees who attended a dinner honoring Consul Gen­eral Alejandro Yango of the Philippines Friday night had to cover many long miles to get from ranch outposts to Kamuela.

I t was plain tha t all of them thought the trip was well worth it.

Mr. Yango made the most favorable impression pos­sible on all of the guests at the dinner, which was given by Richard Smart, owner of Parker Ranch.

Mr. Yango also provided some important information on the aspirations of the y o u n g administration of President Diosdado Macapa­gal in Manila.

He explained tha t the larg­est item in the budget of the Philippines is support for public education, which is highly valued in the island republic.

He explained also that President M a c a p a g a l is pressing a five-year program fo r social and economic gains, a program that will emphasize free enterprise

and a free economy.Americans generally have

a high regard for Mr. Maca­pagal, and wish him well in his program to stress the value of a high moral code in both government and business.

And Big Islanders have an equally high regard for Mr. Yango, who represents his government in an outstand­ing manner and who. under­stands the country to which

"He is now assigned. .It is estimated tha t about

15 per cent of the population of the Big Island is made up of Americans of Filipino an­cestry. The figure for the state as a whole is about 11 per cent.

The total number of Fili- finos in the states

Filipino citizens have a growing influence in island life, and that influence will continue to grow.

This is a good thing for the islands, because the Fili­pino population has much to offer the Fiftieth State in its forward movement.

By JAMES W . COWAN Back in th e “good o ld days” of

th e five-cent c igar th e Philippines w ere exporting to th e U nited S tates som e 158 m illion stogies a year. The cigars could sell for five cen ts because labor w as cheap — 50 to 75 cents a day per worker.

And th e c igars w ere o f good quality; th e leaf tobacco w as aged fo r 10 o r 15 y ears and th e taste of th e Am erican sm oker w as used to th e Philippine-produced com­m odity. A m ericans liked them . The cigars, longer th an th e average cigar today, sold well.

A long cam e W orld W ar II and th e p roduction of Philippine cigars ground to a standstill an d fo r four yea rs th e Am erican sm oker had

on h is ow n dom estic tobacco o r im ported C uban cigars. The A m erican sm oker gradually changed h is ta s te and a f te r the w ar ended, w hen the Philippines w ere again able to produce tobac­co, i t w as discovered th a t the Am erican m ark e t fo r c igars had been com pletely lost. And th is w as the principal m a rk e t

Tobacco, w hich h ad been one of th e th ree m ajo r exports before th e w ar along w ith su g ar and

copra, w as now in little o r no de­m and in any o ther country.

In 1951, a distinguished, astu te Filipino, Enrique C. Alba, working w ith th e cooperation of a chem ist evolved a simple process of cur­ing leaf tobacco which advanced th e aged, m ellow flavor several years. A three-year-old tobacco could be m ade to tas te like tobac­co th a t h ad been aged seven to nine years.

The m ethod of enhancing the age of the leaf was used in the m anufacture of cigars w hich w ere found to have immediate accept­ance on th e Am erican m arket.

It w as then th a t Mr. A lba se­cured th e exclusive w orld fran­chise fo r sales of La P atria Philip­pine Cigars, w hich w as w hat the new p roduct w as named. W ith Mr. A lba guiding th e way, th ree or­ganizations w ere se t up to handle the production and distribution: (1) The L a P atria C igar Factory a t Malabon, Bulacan, n ea r Manila, w hich m akes th e cigars; (2) For­eign Traders, a firm w hich handles exports o f th e cigars; and (3) the La P a tria Tobacco Co., w hich Mr. A lba owns and which handles dis­tribu tion and sales.

A t his desk a t S tate Savings and Loan Co., on Bishop s tree t in dow ntow n Honolulu, M r. Alba confesses th a t w hile he is m anager of the Filipino Division of th a t firm and is a director o f Bailey’s Bakery, 707 W aiakam ilo Rd., "I really don’t know w hich job is m y sideline.” H e adm its th a t M rs. A lba handles m ost of th e tobacco com pany details.

Recalling 1951, Mr. A lba says, “I fe lt th en th a t th e r e w as a tre ­m endous pote c igars in th e U nited S tates. Today I feel th a t even more so now th a t th e U nited S ta tes has placed an em bargo on C uban products."

D uring a v isit to the Philippines in 1959, Mr. A lba said a Philippine governm ent official to ld him his firm w as responsible fo r two- th irds of all Philippine cigar ex ­po rts to the U nited S tates and one-third of all Philippine cigars sold th roughout th e world.

“However, since 1961,” Mr. Alba explains, “th e C uban em bargo has caused o ther factories in th e Phil­ippines to becom e aggressive and they, a re try ing h a rd e r to open m arkets fo r th e ir p roducts. The Philippine g overnm ent also has b e­gun a n assistance p rogram to find new m arkets.”

One o f th e w ays th e govern­m ent s ta rted to help w as by un­derw riting a n advertising prom o­tion cam paign aim ed a t American stogie puffers to c rea te greater consum er dem and. This y ea r i t is in tended th a t th e governm ent w ill augm ent these efforts, M r. Alba says.

“I t is m y personal opinion th a t th e grow th of sm all business in th e Philippines is essen tia l to the country’s sound econom ic grow th,” he says. H e also suggests the Philippine governm ent “m igh t do w ell to in stitu te s tr ic t and en ­forceable contro ls o n quality standard ization — in th e tobacco industry, particu larly .”

W hile these tw o s ta tem en ts m ay seem a t firs t to have opposing, views, Mr. A lba says th e tw o a r e ’ tied together. “In sp ite of the tre ­m endous m arke t in the U nited S ta tes fo r Philippine products, m anufacturers in the Philippines cannot p u t o u t ju s t any old prod­u c t If th e first sh ip m en t. o f a p roduct to ano ther coun try is the la s t sh ipm ent m ade because the quality of th e product is poor, th a t is no good.

“I should th ink th a t if th e Phil­ippine governm ent is going t o 1 spend a g rea t deal o f m oney to

Parker Ranch Honors 55 Filipinos, Yango

Parker Ranch owner Richard Smart congratulates Filipino Herald editor Teddi Medina (right) on publication of new newspaper.

Filipino employees con­verged on the headquarters of Parker Ranch at Kamue- la on the Big Island, the world’s second largest cattle ranch, to hear Philippines consul general Alejandro Yango outline the twofold program of Philippines pres­ident Diosdado Macapagal.

At the program and din­ner honoring 55 Filipino em­

ployees of Parker Ranch, Yango told the gathering that Macapagal’s admini­stration will emphasize mor­al regeneration and economic growth.

After being introduced by ranch owner Richard Smart to the 80 guests, Yango said, "Not too long ago I met a friend who told me he was going to New York with

all of its skyscrapers, the­atres, etc. Don’t you envy me?” he asked.

Yango answered, "Yes 1 do in a way, but prefer to remain here in Hawaii where I have over 70,000 Filipinos. I consider it a great chal­lenge to be your new con­sul. I suppose the Philippine Islands is very much in your mind and I would like to

Hundreds join in testimonial and campaign kickoff dinner for Lieutenant Governor James Kealoha. Kealoha announced that he is actively campaigning for the Republican nomination for Governor in the October primary at the dinner.

Kealoha Maps Solution F o r

Ship StrikesLt. Gov. James Kealoha

announced his determination to do the many things which are not being done for the People of Hawaii recently in a combination testimonial and campaign kickoff din­ner.

The Lieutenant Governor said, “I decided after ob­serving the many things I judged need to be done for our people, which were not being d o n e , and which I could not do in my present position, to seek tha t office which would permit me the freedom to do these things— the office of Governor.”

He continued, '"Since I made this decision, I have had occasion to call on all my courage and resolution to stick with it. And in view of those rumors which still persist, I feel compelled to announce tha t as of tonight, I am actively campaigning fo r the Republican nomina­tion for Governor of Hawaii in the October primary.

One of Kealoha’s ma i n concerns for the people is the damage d o n e to them by shipping strikes. He said, “Traditionally, such disputes are viewed as the private concern of the disputing parties. Historically, this privacy is jealously guarded and cherished.”

He added, “The sovereign powers of a State or the Fed­eral Government to inter­vene is not invoked until a showing has been made justi­fying such intervention. Se­rious injury to the public in­terest must be plainly evi­dent. The great danger here is tha t such determination may be too late,

Kealoha commented, “I have submitted a proposal along these lines to the Paci­fic Maritime Association and the Seafarers Interna­tional Union. I have pro­posed tha t they take a prac­tical business approach to the problem,

Over 500 en thusiastic supporters paid $25.00 per p late to crow d the H ilton Dome to dine on buffalo steaks a t Lt. Governor Kealoha’s highly successful kick-off cam paign dinner.

The new sboys representing both dailies who a t­tended Kealoha’s affair had a field day . . . they came, lapped up his liquor and laughed their heads off over the an tics of D. C. Basolo, a W yoming businessm an who contributed the buf­falo steaks.

Basolo’s speech, one of th e w eak spots in an o therw ise highly-organized affair, consisted of un­fo rtuna te m aterial; some of it blue, m uch of i t in questionable ta s te and all o f it overlong. His part in the evening’s festivities provided comedy-relief to the o therw ise bored and blase press corps.

Topic of the evening w ith m ost o f the news­men: The conspicuous absence of th e Republican hierarchy.

A special tab le provided for the press, the free drinks generously imbibed prio r to th e dinner— and a program of fine Hawaiian entertainm ent, did nothing to im prove th e m anners of the free-loading "journalists” who had a ball a t Jim m y’s expense, making w ise-cracks and small jokes all during his speech.

The general consensus seemed to be th a t “Jimmy is a nice guy — too bad he doesn’t stand a chance.”

However, Kealoha m ay ye t have the last laugh on th e "political pundits o f the press.”

W hat no one has considered is th a t th e Repub­lican top brass m ay have unw ittingly given Ke­aloha a helping hand by staying aw ay In large droves.

A s one labor represen tative attending th e d inner rem arked: “M ost of the H aw aiians and o th e r sup­porters of Jim m y feel so so rry for him , it makes them all the m ore eager to help him . The top brass, by stay ing away, m ay have provided Kealo­ha w ith ju s t the gimmick he needs to a id him in his candidacy for governor: an underdog image.If enough people feel th a t w ay, they w ill get behind him to push him to victory.

“Nobody identifies harder and m ore passionate­ly w ith th e underdog than th e “little guy”. And, le t’s face i t — it’s those "little guys” w ho count on election day. If th e Kealoha bunch are sm a rt they w ill capitalize on th a t "underdog, image”.

If enough "little guys” identify w ith “under­dog” Kealoha, he could, conceivably, confound

everyone by becoming ou r nex t governor.However, those responsible fo r p lo tting cam ­

paign stra tegy for Jim m y will have to give more judicious thought to the p lanning of such large- scale public affairs as th a t held a t the H ilton Dome.

They cannot afford too m any "boo-boos” like Basolo, who’s speech no one though t to screen prior to the affair.

Despite everything Kealoha has cause to crow a b it over the fac t th a t not every political can­didate can persuade 500 friends to p lunk dow n 25 bucks a p la te to come to dinner.

H e w as reported to have m ade several re ferences to itduring th e evening — one of them being thefact th a t “if the service is p oo r tonight, it is due to the fac t th a t m ost of the help is over a t the Kealoha Kick-off dinner”— or w ords to tha t effec t

He (Quinn) m ay have fe lt th a t he was being hum orous and ligh t — b u t som e o f u s got the im pression he w as laboring too ha rd a t making light o f i t ”

How does the governorship race shape up a t th is stage?

Many people believe th a t Burns enem ies are silently throw ing th e ir support to th e Kealoha faction.

Now here is an in teresting situa tion to ponder:If those opposed to B urns cross th e line to vo te for K ealoha In th e prim aries — W HO w ill, o r fo r th a t m a tte r '— w ho CAN th ey v o te fo r in the

“Long before I knew the meaning of the term , I was receiving my first training in social work,” Mary Sabate, head of the Department of S o c i a l Services, Central Service Division, recalls.

An attractive Filipina who looks like a school girl, Mrs. Sabate carries one of the heaviest burdens of responsi­bility in state government today. I t is her department tha t deals with such diverse problems as care of the aged, training and aid for the blind, licensing and super­vision of nursing, foster and emergency care homes, wel­

fare administration and in­vestigation along with coun- ciling and other social work.

Once interested in a teach­ing career, she feels the ex­amples of her grandfather, father and mother made her change to the field of social work.

Her grandfather, Rev. Jose Albao, was the first Protest­ant Filipino minister in Ha­waii. He was well known for his work among the very early Filipino immigrants.

Cipriano Albao, Mrs. Sa- bate’s father, and her moth­er, Manuela, were also deep­ly devoted to bettering the lot of Filipinos. No hour of

Mrs. Sabate remember the many new immigrants her family helped. Often she would awaken early in the morning to the sounds of strange voices. H er father had brought some new me home for coffee, a hot break- fast and words of reassurance. Some would stay wit the family until housing could be arranged.

More serious problems often fell to her parents for solution. Still vivid in her mind is the time a conscien- tious, hard working husband and father of seven disclose he had not only been married in the Philippines, but that his other wife had ju s t a r- rived in camp.

“I employ no fancy public relations experts; no hidden persuaders, no expensive ad­vertising agencies,” Troy de­clared.

Troy, who will be starting a t the top by running for U. S. Senate, explained that he believes “a United States Senator should be one who is not callous to the suffering Of man. He should be will­ing to help destroy the myth tha t the accumulation of wealth and the achievement

of comfort are the chief vo­cations of men. He should be a person with the courage to insist tha t society s t o p squandering the material re­sources of the world on lux­uries in a world where more than a billion people go to bed hungry every night.”

“Having suffered through the depression during the early wage-earning years of my life, I appreciate the value of our achievement. Hut our high standards of living was not created by the activities of special interests

of either the Radical Left or the Radical Right,”

A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Troy first came to the islands with the Navy during World War II and has made his home here since 1948 “because I felt tha t Hawaii was the most democratic community in America.”

Mr. Troy said, “To me this is more than a campaign. This is a cause. To this cause I dedicate my life, my for­tune and my sacred honor.”

In his statement declaring his intention to run, he said he is opposing “a demagogue so lacking in perception as to insult the people of Ha­waii by asking them to elect him to a seat in the United States Senate—a seat which was created by the very thing he opposed: State­hood;”

Although Troy has never sought public office before,

TROYhe is known for his active participation in the cam­paign for Statehood. He said he became active in the sup­port of Statehood after find­ing tha t 80 per cent of Ha­waii’s people wanted it, but “the strongest opponents of Statehood were the vested interests who for years had field the destiny of Hawaii in their hands and did not w a n t to see anything changed.”

“One of the glorious as- _pects of our American heri­tage is the freedom of an in­dividual to endorse by his secret vote any political phi­losophy he wishes,” Mr. Troy stated.

Although the Albao children spent many hours listening a t the door, Mrs. Sabate does not remember ju s t what the outcome was.

She does remember how her parents helped solve an­other problem—one of car­ing for a mother a t the time of child birth.

One afternoon her father came home deeply agitated.

On a chance visit to one

of the camp homes, he had found a new mother in pain and her newborn child un­washed. Her husband was at work -and there were no neighbors to pall. She had de­livered the child herself.

The problem was not new or unusual, but as more men married or brought wives from the Philippines, the. problem increased.

In the days tha t followed, Mrs. Albao cared for the new mother and began to lay plans to prevent such occurrences

in the future. In a few weeks, a “Mothers Club” of about 40 members was quiet­ly formed.

For years to come, this group provided care for new mothers. Taking turns for about one week after a birth, three women would go each day to the home and do

cleaning, cooking and caring for the new mother and child.• Each member paid five cents a month for dues. The money was used to buy soap used in cleaning.

When’ the Albao family moved to Honolulu, Mary en­tered Mid-Pacific Institute where she became i nterested in teaching. Following her graduation, she entered the University of Hawaii.

A t that time economic and social pressures were such tha t very few Filipinos re­ceived any education. On Ka­uai, where she graduated from the eighth grade, the Filipino Clubs had parties, giving leis and gifts to each other of her fellow Filipino students. Few went on to high school.

Curios Specialty Of Bobby Damate

With absolutely no formal a r t education and only a ninth grade education in public schools, Bobby Dama­te has achieved considerable success in the field of art.

Damate, now a middle- aged man, did not decide to take up a r t until 1958. In the

Tiki curios from chess sets to back scratchers in all of the woods of Hawaii.

Damate said, "Early in my career I could make only primitive things. In fact, I found beauty. Now I am do­ing the finer things."

BOBBY DAM ATE

short space of five years, Damate has thoroughly ex­plored the world of art.

He started with water col­ors, advanced to oils, wood mosaic and sculpturing in coral, wood, blue rock, sand­stone, limestone and clay.

H i s works have been shown a t the John Young Gallery and Gima Art Gal­leries. He has had one-man showings at the Library of Hawaii and the Philippine Consulate.

Damate is also in business for himself. He sells his cre­ations under the firm name of Tiki of Hawaii. His cre­ations are now on display at the Seattle World’s Fair. Featured at the F a i i: are

Damate added, "Life is as long as the arm wants to reach. It is never too late in. life to start. If you have any talent a t all, capitalize on it. You never know until you try. Each person has some talent and he or she must find that talent.

In addition to his other ac­tivities, Damate is also a teacher of art and sculpture. He currently instructs 14 students without charge be­cause he feels that they have something to contribute to the world of art. He stated, “Many students want to study a rt but lack the neces­sary funds for a formal school. I am glad to contrib­ute the little I know.

Damate was born in the Philippines. He came to the islands in 1929. He was a professional salesman and showman before taking up art. Being the first marathon runner in the islands is also on his list of accomplish­ments.

He- is married and the father of three children. His wife, F.stel, is unit and fash­ion show director for Sarah Coventry- Costume Jewelry. His son, 17-year-old Bobby, and daughter, 15-year-old -Sherry May, are botho&ctive in art.

One of Damato’s leading students is Sunny Gayagas. Damate said, “Sunny has one of the most creative minds I have seen as far as wood­work is concerned because of his artistic values and love for woods.’’

Gayagas has been study­ing a r t only 10 months under Damate but has done a mural in wood for Malihini Tours and the lettering for the Lawrence of Waikiki store. His works have been distrib­uted all over the world.

Gayagas is also in business for himself under the firm name of Nani Ohia Wood- crafters. He also does work for other companies in the curio business.

Sunny said, "I like to cre­ate things, get the criticism of the general public, compile the criticism and finally cre­ate a work of a r t that ap­peals to the general public. They are the ones who decide who is an a r t is t”

Sunny was born in. Kauai and graduated from Kapaa High School in Kauai.

Sabate Follows In Footsteps Of Parents(Continued from Page 4 ) (Continued from Page 4 )

At the University, she was one of only seven students of Filipino ancestry. When the student government began organizing clubs along racial lines, each of the seven held an office in the Filipino Club.

In October of 1941, follow­ing her fifth year a t the Uni­versity, Mary Albao married her childhood sweetheart, Emil Sabate, and returned to Kauai.

In 1947, she returned to work when she accepted a pt' sition as social worker. Con­sidered a “natural” in her field, she gradually advanced in her work.' In 1954, she was appointed administrator for the island of Kauai. She held this position until her recent promotion to head of Central Service.

"A working mother will often find her life has the overtones of a three ring cir- cus . But extra sensitivity to her family’s problems and careful organization can help her to make a happy homo life.”

In our next issue, the Fili­pino Herald will take you inside the home of a working mother to spotlight the bene­ficial and detrimental reper­cussions resulting from the fact that the mother is work - ing. This probing article will also outline what kind of children working mothers are raising.

Neuroses Of A FilipinoA SIMPLE PHONE CALL WILL BRING HELP

FOR PERSONS WITH EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS(P a rt three o f a three-part series on the mental problems facing H aw aii's Filipinos)

Like a caged animal, the tiny woman moved restlessly around the room.

Every magazine was care­fully stacked, the chairs pre­cisely placed and' the furni­ture polished. There was nothing more she could find to do.

I t was an all too familiar pattern.

F irst the attempt to read, then the cleaning and, as her tension mounted, the endless pacing back and forth.

Fighting for control, she knew how the night would end.

She glanced a t the clock. I t was almost 2 o’clock. A car would soon be making a noisy stop. H er daughter, h a i r disheveled, lipstick smeared, would come in, de­fiantly banging the door.

I t was no way for a 17- year-old girl to behave and she would soon be telling her so.

H er husband and younger children would be awakened by the commotion and every­one would end the night tear­fully a s k i n g themselves, “Isn’t there someone who can help us?”

For this unhappy family, and the other families and individuals who find their problems are more than they can handle, there is help. Help tha t will be given quicky, sympathetically, con­fidentially and, if needed, without charge.

One of the most active groups to provide help in achieving healthy emotions is-the Mental Health Associ- ation of Hawaii. Located at 1407 Kalakaua Ave. in Hono­lulu, the Association also maintains clinics on the Is­

lands of Maui and Kauai.A major public education

program on the general prob­lems of mental health is car­ried on through extension groups, 4-H Clubs, churches, schools and PTAs.

For these and any other interested groups, the Mental Health Association provides, without charge, speakers, discussion- leaders, f i l m s , plays and tape recordings. These meetings c e n t e r around any subject the group is interested in. And more often than not, many of the participants find solutions to their own simple problems.

Quite frequently the knowl­edge tha t their problem is normal for existing circum­stances, is a solution in itself. Others, with more complex difficulties, discover for the first time how to go about getting help.

Where is this help? How much will it cost? Who will know about it?

Most school counselors, priests, ministers and family d o c t o r s can recommend sources of help. For those who might be reluctant to discuss their problems with someone so close to them, any of the public mental health agencies will aid in finding whatever help is needed.

Most agencies charge a small fee, although none will refuse aid to those unable to pay. All agencies are very careful to respect the privacy of their clients.

Experience has proven tha t recognition is the first step in solving any problem.

During Association-spon­sored discussions by groups, a parent whose child seems inattentive may be made to realize the problem might be physical and the importance of a check up and hearing

test is pointed out. The moth­er of an only child, whose overactive imagination leads to the telling of lies, is shown the importance of greater companionship for him.

Another might gain a new insight on growing-up prob­lems of teenagers.

A t the Association offices, a professional staff offers consultation a n d referral services. Many problems find a solution in a few short ses­sions.

For those who need more advanced help or who have problems tha t may require physical attention, the staff will aid in finding help.

No charges are ever made for these services.

Persons interested in read­ing about any specific mental health problem have access to a wide range of booklets through t h e Association. This is the only service the Association c h a r g e s for. Prices range from five cents to one dollar.

Some of the sample cases handled, by the Association include: a mother with a son who refused to attend school. She was helped to under­stand the boy’s anxieties and how to handle them by the Association staff.

Arrangements were made for a teenager, who had at­tempted suicide, to receive treatm ent a t an outpatient psychiatric clinic. A profes­sional man, who was in con­stant conflict with his boss, was referred to a private psychiatrist. A runaway girl asked the Association to find a home where she could work for room and board and fin­ish high school. With her

parents’ consent, she was re­ferred to a children’s agency and is now back in school.

A mothers’ group, con­cerned about sex education, was provided with films and other material to conduct their proposed program. A church interested in provid­ing marriage preparation courses, was helped to map out an interesting and edu­cational program.

Another agency tha t pro­vides consultation and refer­ral services is the Catholic Social Services. The organi­zation, a t 1660 Kalakaua Ave. is directed to Catholics but everyone in need of help is welcome to take advantage of the services provided.

Professionally trained case workers aid each troubled- person in finding a solution to his or her problems. Gentle, skillful questioning leads to a discussion which usually reveals the area where help is needed. In less/ complicated cases, the case worker may be able to pro­vide a solution.

Where a physical problem may exist, a doctor is recom­mended and if psychiatric care is indicated, recommen­dations are made for testing and treatment.

A small charge, based on individual family income and expenses, is made. Cases are not refused for lack of funds. All financial and personal in­formation is held in strict confidence and cannot be re­leased to anyone unless ap­proved in writing by the per­sons involved.

Typical cases handled by the Catholic Social Service include: A mother about to

undergo a prolonged period of hospitalization, is relieved of considerable mental strain when a temporary foster home is found for her two children. A chronically de­pressed woman is referred for psychiatric care. An old­er man with too much time on his hands is referred to a Parks Board Senior Citizens Group, an adult education

. class, and to a public service group tha t now uses his help in stuffing envelopes.

A young couple with mon­ey problems receives several consultations and. are aided in making up a workable budget. A child with a learn­ing problem is referred for testing. When he is found to be slightly retarded, he is en­

ro lle d in' classes_Jhat help him develop his greatest po­tential.

As a licensed adoption agency, the Catholic Social Service helps many couples find a longed for child. An unmarried mother finds free help through a trying period of adjustment.

The Child and Family Care Service, a private in­stitution at 154 N. Kuakini, also provides consultation and referral services to in­dividuals and families. There is no waiting period and those in need of help can usually have an appointment within a week.

All information is held confidential and the fee is based on the ability to pay. No one is denied help if un­able to pay.

The state also provides a number of services designed to prevent individual and

BALCENA ONLY FILIPINO INPRO BASEBALL

Robert Rudolph (Bobby) Balcena of the Pacific Coast League’s (PCL) Hawaii Ti: landers has the distinction of being the only full-blooded Filipino in professional base­ball.

The 33-year-old outfielder joined the Islanders midway in the season last year and wound up with a .243 batting average. Balcena, who is one of only four Islander re­turnees, opened the season with Vancouver last year.

Balcena w a s born and raised in San Pedro, Calif. He was a standout outfielder on the SPHS baseball team

. and played end for the foot­ball squad.

A fter graduation, Bobby entered the navy and spent a good portion of his two- year hitch a t Barber’s Point here in the Islands.

Balcena started his pro baseball career in 1948 with Mexicali, Mexico, of the Sun­set League. In his initial sea­son in the now defunct league, which included seven teams from Southern Cali­fornia and Mexicali, he led the league in hitting with a .369 batting average.

The following year, with the same Mexicali club, he paced the- league in total bases (295) a n d RBI’s (132). In 1951, Bobby led the now reorganized Texas League in runs (114). He

topped the Texas League in fielding, and putouts in 1952 . and 1953. —

Bobby has been active in the PCL since 1955. He led the league in doubles (38), posted the best fielding aver-, age for an outfielder (.997) and gained PCL All-Star honors in 1956.

B§lcena was up for a brief spell with the Cincinnati Reds in the National League in 1956. He appeared a t the plate officially only twice but faced two all-time greats in those two trips, Sal Maglie of the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbitts Field and Sad Sam Jones a t Wrigley Field in Chicago.

During the off - season, Bobby works with kids.. Last winter, he was an instructor of calisthentics for the Sac­red Hearts Catholic School.

Balcena is small in stature but big in ability and com­petitive spirit. The athlete, who bats right-handed and throws with his left hand, stands 5-7 and tips the scales at 155.

Bobby is single and during his leisure hours enjoys mu­sic, primarily modern jazz, and water skiing.

In the outfield, in the coaching box, at the plate or ' off the field, “hustle” has been the keynote to Bobby Balcena, and it always will be.

Martinez. Assures Filipinas Good Service On API

Filipinos who w ant to be assured of good accommoda­tions when they travel via American President Lines might benefit themselves by checking personally w i t h passenger traffic manager Antonio E. Martinez.

Martinez, who was born and raised in the Philip­pines, is in charge of sales and promotion of Filipino traffic for the world-wide passenger and steamship line. His duties include su­pervision of departure and arrival services for Filipino passengers.

Martinez has been employ­ed by American President Lines (APL) for t h r e e years. He started with APL in San Francisco and trans­ferred to Honolulu last May.

The 42-year-old APL of­ficial left the Philippines in 1947 to continue his educa­tion on the mainland. He attended the University of California a t Berkeley and San Francisco State, major­ing in business and foreign trade. While studying in San Francisco, Martinez worked part-tim e for the Philippine Consulate.

Martinez returned to the Philippines in 1956, a f t e r nine years on the mainland, to work with his father in the family’s Venetian blind factory and real estate busi­nesses.

The travel expert was em­ployed for about a year as assistant to Nicanor Roxas, former Philippine minister a t the Hague. While in the Hague, Martinez help to open the new legation.

Antonio , is one of six chil­dren born to Mr. and Mrs. Santos Martinez. His par­ents reside in Manila but ju s t recently passed through Honolulu on their way for a vacation in Los Angeles. An­tonio’s brother, Jose, is also with APL as traffic man­ager in San Francisco. He has been with the company for 11 years.

The A PL fleet includes six liners which stop a t Ho­nolulu. Four of the liners travel between San Francis­co and the Orient while the other two make around-the-

world voyages.Ships in the trans-Pacific

fleet are the Presidents Wil­son, Cleveland, Hoover and Roosevelt. The President Monroe and President Polk are on the around-the-world circuit.

The APL fleet also in­cludes numerous freighters but none of them stop in Honolulu.

APL’s newest liner, the President Roosevelt, w i l l dock in Honolulu on its maiden voyage from San Francisco. The huge vessel cost $10 million to build.

Martinez pointed out that APL conducts the PhilAmer- ican Tour each November. The tour group usually num.- - bers o v e r 300 from San Francisco and Honolulu. The eighth annual tour will leave from Honolulu Nov. 30 for Hong Kong and the Philip­pines.

Some of the services which come under the supervision of Martinez, are to help clear baggage through customs, to assist in arranging trans­portation and accommoda­tions to other islands, to help locate relations and to act as interpeter.

Martinez will not be in the Honolulu office from May 16 to June 20. He will be on a vacation to the mainland during tha t period, but upon his return, he will be avail­able for personalized service to passengers of the APL.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Resolution

WHEREAS, in this day and age, the freedom of the press being constantly reduced; and

WHEREAS, often we read of a reduction in the free news to people by the closing of a newspaper; and

WHEREAS, this diversity of opinion is reduced further by syndication and merger of newspapers; and

WHEREAS, it is a refreshing light on the horizon to see the birth of a new newspaper; and

WHEREAS, on March 16, 1962, Hawaii saw the birth of a new paper, the “Filipino Herald” by the publication of its Vol. 1, No. 1; and

WHEREAS, the policy of said paper is stated nicely in its initial editorial:

"But while the ‘Filipino Herald' is primarily aimed at representing our community—it should not in any way in­hibit us from commenting on local issues.

I f building high-rise apartments in the Diamond Head area is detrimental to the future and interests-of Hawaii’s citizens—then it is the responsibility of the Filipino commu­nity to oppose it. We should be willing to recognize tha t con­tributing to the progress of Hawaii’s Filipinos is but a part of the over-all goal: To make Hawaii a better place in which to live.” ;

now, therefore,BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the

F irst Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Budget Session of 1962, that this body hereby congratulates the founders of the ‘Filipino Herald” and express to them our wish for a long, siiccessful life in presenting to the members of the entire community and the Filipino community, in particular, an additional means of read­ing the news of the day and the point of view of another group of people and that we further wish them a long life for this new-born “dispenser of tru th”, and

THE FILIPINO HERALD GOES TO A COCKFIGHT . .(Continued from Page 12)

“Come on — sige na!” H e kep t plead, ng.

But to no avail.A few m ore th ru sts and par­

ries and the b a ttle w as over. The little one stood trium phan t over th e larger, lifeless bird.

Now cam e the denouem ent.Everyone, it seemed, back a t

the o ther location, had placed the ir bets on the bigger bird.

The ow ner of the dead bird m ade no a ttem p t to hid his pain and d iscom fort a t having lo st the battle.

M ethodically, b u t obviously dis­trau g h t and em otionally shaken, the ow ner of the defeated and dead bird began counting o u t the dollars.

This w as the pay-off.There w as a definite a ir o f dis­

tastefu lness and unsavory tinge to th is aspect w hich th e reporter very qu ick ly noticed. I t w as dis­concerting — like the acrid smell o f garbage.

He could n o t help noticing the ab ject, a lm ost desperate a ir o f the lo ser w hich contrasted sharply w ith th e obviously uncontained joy o f (he w inner collecting the spoils o f his victory.

One hundred, tw o hundred — th e rep o rte r tu rned aw ay unable to continue w atching the w retch­ed expression on the face o f the loser . . .

“Well, I guess y ou r m odem m ethods proved the real v ictor over the old trad itional m ethods,” th e rep o rte r declared la te r to the elated w inner.

“W hat happens to th e dead bird?”. “Oh,” replied th e trium phant ow ner, “The w inner gets him. W e will probably m ake adobo o u t o f him .”

"You m ean th e w inner gets the dead bird?” asked th e reporter.

“Oh, yes,” replied th e ow ner of th e w inning bird, “unless, o f course, there has been some kind o f hanky-panky.”

“W h at so rt o f hanky-panky?” th e rep o rte r w anted to know;

“Welf, in som e instances, if we have an y inkling th a t the oppos­ing bird’s gaff has been tam pered w ith— such as in previous cases— you know , w hen the gaff has been tipped w ith some so rt o f lethal poison . . . then th e bird is not w orth eating .”

“You m ean the gaffs o f th e op­ponent are som etim es poisoned?” asked the repo rte r w ide-eyed.

“C ertainly,” replied the other, im patiently regarding the reporter as though he could not believe the show of innocence w as real.

“W hen there is big m oney running — the o th e rs try all k inds of tricks.”

“Are there o ther tricks em ­ployed?”

“Of course,” laughed th e tra in ­er, som ew hat derisively a t the seem ing ignorance of the reporter.

“F or exam ple, I know for a

fac t th a t in one instance, some­one had poured acid on the gaff o f one of m y birds which caused the blade to b reak a t the m ost crucial time. You have to tra in yourself to be aw are of every possible stu n t your op­ponent m ight pull to tip the scales in h is favor,”T he afternoon’s contest was

rapidly draw ing to a finish. The ow ner o f the w inning bird, his face sp lattered w i t h bright splotches of red blood, w as a f­fectionately m assaging the legs o f his bird.

The la te afternoon sun streaked the face of the reporter. Rubbing his forehead, he rem arked, “I guess y o u r m odem m ethods proved som ething th is afternoon. W hat is th e exact difference in your m ethods anyway?"

“W ell,” smiled the trium phant w inner, “I figured it th is way. We (indicating himself) are crashing in on a new. racke t—it am ounts

“And w hat about th e dead bird?” asked th e reporter.

“The dead bird is m erely a sym ­bol of the Filipinos’ unw illingness to yield to new m ethods. He is still em ploying th e ru les taugh t him by h is fa th er—in one sense, w hat you have w itnessed here to ­day is symbolic: I t is a tr ib u te to the dogm atism o f th e Filipino in being unwilling, o r p erhaps unable

keep you informed of all the recent events by bringing you the news so close to your hearts.”

He continued, “President Macapagal won the last elec­tion in a peaceful and order­ly expression of the will of the people. In spite of the bit­terness of the campaign, aft­er the elections, there was also an orderly transition of the government. This is very heartening because other governments have had strife, whereas ours was achieved in an orderly fashion.”

“What is to be the new program? We soon learned tha t his policies included moral regeneration and eco­nomic growth of the Philip­pine Islands,” Yango said. He added, “The president be­lieves moral regeneration is important to a lasting gov­ernment. A good government must have a policy of hones­ty in government with moral and ethical practices.”

Yango stated, “In line with these beliefs he de­mands his cabinet possess high qualities of honesty, ethics and integrity. Those who did not meet these quali­fications’ were soon weeded out. Only with honest and

ethical officials can the gov- he is building.”ernment be properly admini­strated.”

The C o n s u l remarked, “Many grave economic prob­lems face us. I t is the solu­tion of t h e s e problems in which our president is de­voting his energies. A well thought out and well balanc­ed economic program, a five year social and economic pro­gram of growth, is the goal of the president."

The next speaker Mr. Richard Penhallow said, “I am proud to be here. I have worked among Filipinos for many years and I have grown to love, admire and respect them.”

Other speakers included Professor Andres Baclig. Baclig said, “I am proud to have been included among the honored guests,” He drew laughter when he com-

Yango said, “Under this” merited, “My line is not iprogram, Macapagal would restore economic stability to our country. The program, would stabilize prices of rice, com and many staple pro­ducts. With the population increasing one million each year, to meet this, no less than 400,000 jobs have to be created to h a n d l e the growing labor force.”

Other aims of the pro­gram include meeting the ur­gent needs for education, road, national defense and housing, according to Yango.

The Philippines official remarked, ‘‘Filipino workers greeted me here by telling me what Mr. Smart has been doing. In particular, they want to express their grati­tude for the recreation hall

much speaking as music and the airline — Hawaiian Air­lines.”

Baclig added, “I have al­ways loved this place-because people are so kind, generous and pleasant. I have lived in Canada, Japan, China and Europe but I found that Ha­waii is the best place of all the countries I have lived in. If you want to apply for citizenship, feel free to call on me for help.”

He continued, “I speak four dialects so if you don’t understand my dialect, you will a t least understand my music. I don’t play Rock n’ Roll.” .

The other speaker, agri­culture expert Harold Bay- brook stated, “Most of the

Filipinos here are single and long time employees. Four­teen years is the average. Their work involves plant­ing grass and repairing fen­ces and buildings, etc.”

Baybrook continued, “Off duty activities provided for the workers here include fishing, movies and bil­liards.”

The agriculturist added, “The Filipino workers have outstanding character. They are very honest, conscien­tious, reliable and depend­able. I have worked among them for 38 years, 19 with Parker Ranch.”

The program included an Ilocano song, a rendition of “Dahil Sa Iyo” by the Park­er Ranch Paniolo choir and the song “Irog Na Saan Ang Pagibig” by Mrs. Andres Baclig.

Guests included Mr. and Mrs. Richard Penhallow, Mr. and Mrs. Radeliffe Grenwell, Mr. and Mrs. James Armi- tage, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Brand, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Baybrook and Mrs. Jane Hill, all -of Kamuela.

Other guests were Filipino Herald editor Teddi Medina, Fortunato Teho of the Uni­versity of Hawaii,

A sliding fee based on the ability to pay is charged those who can afford it. No services are denied for lack of funds.

The best time to solve a problem is while it is still a small one. But mild or vio­lent, any problem that is a source of repeated unhappi­ness to an individual or to his or her family, friends or co-workers, should receive immediate attention.

In the case of legal prob­lems, a lawyer is called. In the case of medical need, a doctor is summoned and in cases where an emotional problem, is involved, a mental health specialist is recom­mended.

A phone call or visit to any of these agencies will bring help.
