Jimenee said that the above • mentioned reasons plus many others and the over two million pesos monthIf payroll for the over 7,000 employees almost account to what the P.N.R, is today. Ae to the ory of inefficiency •f the rail line, the Manager asked for more understanding from tbe public on behalf of the over 7 000 employees and their families. God willing, with tbe present trend of improvement now being instituted, effeoiency will come, despite the shortage of motor cars freight cars of all kinds and coaches for passengers which are much lees than before tbe war, the P.N.R. is doing all it can, short of miracle. Taking iota considerstion the increase of volume of traffic and using less equipment and tbs same rails that it had been using for the last sixty five yeatsi the P.N.R. should be given kudos and encouragement. Freight cars before the war were 1.844 today we only have 1,097. Passenger cars in servioe areoDly 53 and 27 are alternately under repair. Again on tbe publio understanding end eooperation, tbe General Manager asked tbe traveling publio to be more conscious too of their duty to safeguard the interest of the properties of tne P N R. especially its equipment end tbe passenger eoacbes which are always subjected to vandalism and oanivalism. Every now aod then oewly installed equipment and furnishings disappear. The manager said further that it io very easy tor the rail line to make money it profit is the main eonsideration in tbe operation, but tbe public must know that tbe P.N, R. has a duty to perform and that is the National Economy, The rail line has <o serve the people that helps develop the economy of the Country by providing rreans of transportation to tbe people from small and out of places stations and towns. Without tha railway line tbe economic development of out of way places would be rustic and stagnant. Asked further to elaborate oo this point tbe Manager said that to stop a train alone in a small station means buodreeds of pesos less in terms ol wear and tear of spare parts! Yet small stations have to be maintained and serviced aod employees have to be taken in regardless of the insignificant financial return that the Company realizes from these points. Tbe Company has to loss if it expects to help develop our oatlonal eoonomy and help also tbe pub ie and its over 7,000 employees, said Col. Jimenez. Comparing oar own railway to that ol the British railway, the Manager said that the British has to lose 134 million pounds a year in order to support its own railway. Comparing that loss to our railway, ours 'a just a drop in the bucket, yet we are operating on almost LDtequatrd aid obsolete equipment and rails, which other foreign railway lines should have long ago diaearde<Jrba P.N R. i« one of tbe worst in the world because of tbe lack of gavernm«nt finane »l support yet acciden'.wisa we are one of tbe Graduation-Piano Recital The conservatory of Music of Colegio de Sta, Isabel, in Naga City will present Miss Melecia Q.

With the signing by President Marcos of tbe Rodrigo • Diokoo Poll Registration Bill, tbe registration of voters under the new list is now extended until October 15, 1967. Tbe author has not yet gotten bold ol a copy of the full text of tbe law. Once be does, be will aause tbe publication in this paper of tbe pe<tinent provisions of the law. The author urges and appeals to all qualified voters to now’RUSH UP to register AT THEIR FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND WITHOUT DELAY in their respective city and municipal eleotion registrars’ offices ou any day, Monday through Sunday.

The highest, with tbe raok of rajah, is conferred only on obiefs of state. During the award oeremonies, Rockefeller was also cited for: 1. His invaluable contribution to Philippine eduaatioo through regional and material support in the form of scholarships and grants in many fields of study provided by tbe Rockefeller Foundation and other organizations with which be is connected. 2.

Ques,: Is it true that if you do not register do w under tbe new list, you might not be able to vote in the 1»G9 eleotion? Elpidio Ruiz, Caramoan. Camarines Sur. , Ans,: The law provides; ‘‘Any person who fails to regi ter within sixty days alter having acquired the qualifications of a voter or is registered aftsr said period shall not be qualified to vote in the eleotion immediately following bis registration. For purposes of the nineteen hundred sixty-seven elections, however, any person who is a qualified voter may register any time before the sixtyday peiiod preceding the date of eaid election.” (2nd sentence of paragraph 2, 8eetion 8, R A. 3588. as amended).

As to the Cagayan and tbe Sorsogon lines. Manager J menez said that although the project is a losing proposition it has to go thru because it is tha duty of the goveroment to h9lp tbe people in the two regions develop their economy as well as their well-being Even after fifty years of operation tbe Manager said, the capital to be invested in tbe projects can not be taken baok. Tbe Cagayan project will soon get on tbs way again because its fioanoing is coming. But tbe Sorsogon line has to wait pending the final study by the Japanese financiers It will take about six moots to survey and it is estimated that it will also take five years to complete tbe project which w.ll cost 160 million pesos. Already 60% of tbe rigbe of way have beeu purebsed according to tbe Maa8ger. As to the clamor of some lectors to sell the railway company to private enterprises tbe Manager said that nd private sector will ever consider buying the Company if it has to consider g ving back to the stockholders their money that they invested at tbe same time giving tbe same service to tbe publio that tbe P.NR. now is giving So, tbe Maoager seid that it is almost criminal to sell if we expect to have tbe same, tbe return of investment end the service that tbe P.N.R is now giving to tbe public* Maybe it is better for a private sector to put up another line of their • wn if they desire to help develop our economy. For the preeeot tbe bulk of freight carried by the railway line to peiuts of distination comes in tbe following order as per volume: Flour, Lumber, Cement, Sugar, Agricultural Products and Manufactured goods. Passengers who bought tickets at station center exceed the 11 million mark as of 1966 records of operation. While the P N.R. realized revenue from these commoditiesthe helpitmakee in the movement of those goods amouot to generating eeeoomie opportunities and generate job opportunities as well. Giving us his program of improvement as per plans do w going oo, Col, Jimeoaz eaid that emphasis in giving FM Informed On Filipinized Dole Philippines The Filipinization of Dole Philippines, a subsidiary of the world’s largest pineapple oanniog oompany, was effected with tbe taking over of most of tbe administrative. and, financial (unction of the oompany by Filipinos, President Marcos was infor-, med recently. The President was apprised of this revolutionary management move by Howard Hubbard, president of Dole Philippines, who said that eventually there will be total Filipino management of tbe compaoy ‘‘starting from the top.” Hubbard oalled recently on the President to submit a progress report on Dole’s operations in Mindanao. Hubbard also informed tbe President that in ccnso nance with the offer made by Castle and Cooked, Inc,; mother company of Dole, investments in the oorporation has already exceeded £35 million Zend an additional $7 million is projected within the next two years under tbe Filipino m stge ment. Dole Philippines bae set up a pineapple oannery in Polomolok, Cotabato about 30 kilometers Iron tbe southern seaport of General Sanios. Under lhe new expansion scheme cf tbe country, it will develop Filipino -owned lands into pineappleplantations rather than lease large tracts from tbe government ee in the past] The president of the company ie slated to be turned over to Geronimo Z. Velasco, vice president, to replace Hubbard whois returning to tbe United States soon. According to Hubbard’s report which eovers a I veyear projection, sineappie will be the largest export of the Philippines after two years. It is now ranked No. 10 among the nation's exports. Dole Philippines is expeoted to pro'duae 200.000 metric tons of pineapple annually after two years. At this production rate, the Philippines could expeot to earn some §57 million in (foreign exchange from 1967 to 1972. Taxes to be realized, mostly from the 30 per cent withholding tax applicable to tbe foreign exchange borrowings of tbe projeet. ia expected to amount to ?26 million. ESPINOSA
