GRAVEL AND SAND rfeUvitte* NBM WB and Former Secretary of Agriculture Juan de G. Rodriguez, was the guest speaker al the Loyalty Day celebration of the College of Agriculture, U.P., in Los Banos, Laguna on October 10, 1968. It is recalled that on that same date fifty years ago, a large group of students, employees and factulty members of the College of Agriculture in Los Banos volunteered to fight overseas with the Allies in World War 1. They enlisted with the Philippine National Guard under the U.S. Army. WB Rodriguez held the rank of Sergeant in the outfit that was in intensive training preparatory to being shipped to Europe for battle. Fortunately or unfortunately for the hundreds of Filipino volunteers, the Philippine National Guard could not be shipped out as the Armistice was signed on November 11. 1918 and the Philippine National Guard was disbanded soon after. Our congratulations to Bros. Drs John K. Lim and Dee Bing Lim, members of Rafael Palma Lodge No. 1-17, who successfully passed the medical examinations given in June 1968. The results of the examinations were released in early October. Both doctors are senior members of the Jose Abad Santos Chapter, Order of DeMolay. Their father, VW Joseph Lim So, is a 33° Mason and a Past District Deputy Grand Master of the Southern Mindanao district. Dr. John K. Lim is a resident physician at the Brockcnshire Memorial Hospital in Davao City and Dr. Dee Bing Lim is a resident physician at the Philippine General Hospital in Manila. Being a pen-pusher for The Cabletow can be rewarding in the satisfaction of being able to write the news that’s fit to print in our magazine, but it can be discouraging when something worthwhile is missed because no one told ns beforehand. If brothers and sisters and the young ones call us up or leave notes on our desk, we will be glad to follow up. write the story and even take pictures. Some Lodge Secretaries send us newsletters and souvenir programs regularly. They are good source materials and oftentimes we use some, if not all of what we cull from these sources. Two news magazines. The Job’s Daughters Echo, published bv Bethel No. 1, Olongapo City, and 'I'lie Bamboo News, published by T. R. Yangco Chapter, Order of DeMolav, Olongapo City, have coipe into our hands. We thank those young ones for sending them. It almost floored us to know two months late that the Supreme Royal Matron and the Supreme Royal Patron of the Order of .Amaranth, heads of an International organization appendant to Masonry, visited the Manila Court. We are not of the Order. but the visit was news and we could have written the story when it happened and it would have been in The Cabletow earlier.
