Cledera to Mayor Tony Villegas some weeks ago as a man who is like a father to him. Mr. Diez, incidentally is the political adviser oj the Governor. Now, 1 know what fatherly political advice he. will give to Pading Manding in 1969 - Help Fuente for 5th term bid. Mr. Diez is a principled and disciplined man. I don’t think he will prefer a Liberal over a Nacionalisla candidate in 1969 • • There seems to be a lot of noise created by the fencing of ARMDUR’S lot near the RCA area, this city. Armour is reported to have fenced his lot deep within the 7-meter distance from the center of the street. The q lestion is simple, and need not bother anyone If the City paid for the land, it can insist on the 7-meter distance If it has not paid for th land, it has no right to insist We have laws giving us just compensation for properties that the stale may need, and other laws for that matter. • • Governor Cledera is a man of guts an l strong will, but I donjl think he can control the electric J ms installed in his office The control mchanism was removed and sold reportedly to an electrical supplies store at General Luna street, this city. For further information, Mr. Governor, please inquire from a certain Tom in your offfice. I was told that he knows the whole story.

CASTRO Mortgagor (s) EXTRA-JUDICIAL PORECLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE Under Act No. 3135 The Cledera admistration, in my humble opinion, is trying hard to get things done. Strangely enough, Mr. Cledera seems io be slow in the direction of availing of the mass media to keep people informed about what actuilly is happening in his administration. It appears that the Governor does not trust the working press. He can do all the good things th it he can think of but he won't reach first base if the press publishes only the small, but un-favorable stories about him and his a i ministration. President Quirino was destroyed by foolish talks about an "urinola” costing 500 pesos. Foolish talks [true or false) about anybody are better remembered than good ones. I humbly believe that the Reclamation Committee under the chairmanship of Councilor Del Castillo has a right to function with the freedom of movement. To heckle him al every turn may do more harm than good. It is only fair that we start by assuming that he has good faith and love for this city like all other councilors. Let's give the guy a chance.

From the Author’s 'Garden of Verses’ The Need for a Tourist Spectacle Int’l. Tourism Year - This being a tourism year- it is about time that this premier province of Bicolandia should vie as a matter of consciousness- inspire to devtlop the vast potentialities of a tourist site as a tourist spectacle. It should not be amiss to say the least that by harnessing the promotional gear toward all-out interest in tourism- it can be considered both as wise and expedient the cultivation arid development of a beautiful spot which could produce the end results t» attract the incessant flow of tourist trade within our boundaries. It is a sad note to make the observations that the previeous provincial administration has left a big void which should be filled to dramatize our participation and involvement into the tourist area where other provinces before us such as neighboring Albay or Sorsogon for this matter are now making such bountiful harvests as worthwhile dividends for past endeavors. Our Future Tourist Paradise In an earlier interview sometime in February of this year, our energetic and imaginative provincial secretary- the honorable Mr. Silverio Veluz has intimated to this reporter his plans visa vis the development of the Tourist town of Buhi which was the subject of the secretary’s communication to the Board of Travel and Tourist Industry last year just before the electoral campaigns. As an offshoot of this initiative along with the age-old desire of this writer to arouse interest among the private and government sectors calling our government instrumentalities to lay the groundwork or such a well- meaning and well-intended development tourist projectile within the course of the foreseeable future. HILLTOP NEWS COMMENTARY Frenchmen Need Reforms For A Change The Antidote to Chaos and Disorder - President Charles de Gaulle's Fifth Republic stands still today on the verge of anarchy. Half a million students and 8-million French industrial workers, teachers tn and around Paris joined hand to ignore the orders of the government in exchage for massive reforms in education, higher wages, better living conditions, etc. This is the reaction of Frenchmen today after following up the second term of President de Gaulle’s government. True- Charles de Gaulle brought France from a tottering pedestal to one of economic stability. But this is not all- spiralling prices have been telling on the French people. Economic stability should share the workers, the teachers, professors and studentsa better form of “equality, f rater - nity and liberty.’’ Living conditions today is a very much different when all Frenchmen had to speak of the French Empire covering the different continents. Canada was lost, French Louisiana was sold to the new emerging American nation, French empire in Africa was lost when de Gaulle favored to give the revolting African colo(Continued on page 8)
