guetand had planned to have a gun foundry at Sablan, Histroops accord­ ingly stole-most ofthe church bells in the neighbouring lowland towns, mean- ingtouse jhem for gun metal, and compelled the. unfortunate Benguet Igorots to carrythem tip thesteep trail.

Boiler pipes; whichhad been used in lieuoLcarryingpoles,...had in several instancesJaeenbadlybent-put of shape.

There w as, even an,old verticalboiler whichhad been luggedup entire for someuhicown. reason.

The labour involvedmust have been enormous,and we were assuredthatwhen theIgorot hearers, prostrated with fa­ tigue,'had refusedto continuetheir taskwithout rest, they had beendriven to it at the muzzles of Insurgentrifles, andthat some of them had beenshot as a lesson td the others. At all events, theboilerand thethe bells were there, and there theboilerand the largerbells were there,and theretheboilerand the larger bellshave remained ever since!

It was still’steaming hotat Sablan, andthewhole'countryside was buried inthedensest tropical vegetation. Ma­

jor Mauswas triumphant. However, as we werealreadyhalfway up, we thought that wemightas well continue the joutney. I had expected to find pinesand oaks, but had anticipated that they would grow amidst a dense tangleofdamp tropicalvegetation.

We wereall ’ literally dumbfounded whenwithin the space ofhundred-yards we suddenly left the tropics behind uS and cameout into awonderful region of pine parks. Trees stood on the rounded knollsat'comparatively wide intervals, andthere wire scores of pla­ ces where, in order to have a beautiful house lot,’one'needed . only to construct drivewaysand go to work witha lawn­

mower.At thbsame moment, a delrgbt- fulcoldbreezeswept down from the heights'above us.

Just atsunsetwe experienced a se­ condsurprise, coming outontheknife­ sharp'crestof a ridge,and seeing spread before ustheTrinidad Valley, which is shaped like a huge wash-basin. Its floor was vividly green with growing rice,Igorot houses were dotted here and there over its surface, and the whole peaceful, beautiful scene was illuminatedby therays ofthe setting sun. The air had been washed clean bythe heavyrain which had poured down on us throughoutthe afternoon, and the..sight was one never to be for- Just at duskwe reached the little settlement ofTrinidad, whichhad been the capital of the Spanish comandancia of B^ngtlet, finding that its inhabitants were in part Ilocanosand in part Igo- Here we werehospitably entertained bythe Officersof the militarypost. It was-so cold that one’sbreath showed.

Major.Maus improved the opportunity to indulgein a severe chill. Finding him buriedundej blankets, we asked his.views as to .the Benguet climate.

They were radical! It is only fairto the Majprtp saythat the report which he ultimately madeset forth thefacts fully andfairly. It did not suit General MacArthur. Yearsafterward, when discussing the climate of Benguet with Surgeon-GeneralSternberg, I referred tothis,report and found tomyamaze­ ment that he had neverseen it.

Largely responsible for this gra­

To1949...

Continuedfrom page I poning the exposition to 1950.

First: The City of Baguio is still short of house and. hotel accommo­

dations and everything else in hous­

ing facilities and comforts because of the total destruction of the City by the last war.

Second: The City is also short of water, light and telephone facilities.

Third: The total ruin of the City is still visible and apparent to our visitors and i t would seem ugly holding a gala affair when the City is in urgent need of repair. The psy­

chological effect would be a criticism logical in nature.

Fourth: The City has practically nothing of this own to point out to visitors as of interest in regards to rehabilitation work a chieved.

Fifth: The Carnival is also being proposed to be held during the Holy Week when it would be impossible to accommodate vacationists in the City. Last year many visitors had to return home because of lack of accommodation. The Carnival visi­

tors no doudt. will be an additional burden in the problems of accom­

modation.

Sixth: The year 1949 is also a na­

tional presidential Election year, and it is believed that provincies a-n d cities will not be interested to come and participate because of the usual local interest in the national politi­

cal campaigns during the year?
