Local Girl Sees South Pacific
As Government Librarian
Visiting such places as the
beautiful San Sebastian Church,'
the American cemeteries, Presi
dent Roxas gorgeous palace and
such historic spots as Tagaytau
Ridge, which overlooks famous
Laguna de Bay, Miss Loutrell
Cavin, librarian, manages to find
life in the Pacific Islands quite
interesting, despite the lack of
many American conveniences.
The daughter of Mrs. H. E.
Wyatt, of Menlo, and the late C.
G. Cavin, Miss Cavin has served
as a Government librarian in
the Philippine Islands and Oki
nawa since February, 1947.
One of the most interesting
things the Chattooga County girl
has seen is a bamboo organ,
made of 950 bamboos, which is
the only one of its kind in the
world. This organ is in the Las
Pinas Church.
Miss Cavin heard some of the
war crimes trials of members of
the Japanese Chief of Staff,
which instigated the death
March of Bataan.

In the beautiful San Sebastian
I Church, which is known as “the
I Steel Church,” bceause of its all
’’ steel construction, the local girl
heard a sermon in Spanish. This
church has withstood not only
( the war, but also many earth
quakes.
There’s very little in these dis
tant islands to remind the Geor
gia girl of home, however she
. writes that the mountains and
hills of the Philippines look
much” like those of North Geor
gia.
In visiting President Roxas
Palace, Miss Cavin saw beauti
ful mahogany floors, huge chan
dliers and a “wonderful library.”
She also saw the President’s
wife, whom she described as be
. ing “very beautiful.” On anoth
er occasion, she viewed a parade
in the Philippines and heard the
President’s address.

Miss Loutrell Cavin, of Menlo, who is a govern
ment librarian at Okinawa, is shown handing a book
to a soldier stationed in the islands. Note the orchids
in the vase on her desk. They are plentiful in that
area.
strange that this was once al
scene of bloodshed and dying
men,” Miss Cavin writes con
cerning an immaculate Ameri
can cemetery, where thousands(
and thousands of American boys
are buried. , j
The cemetery is bordered with
white fence and the tree trunks;
are all painted white.
There are also some Philip
pines and some Japanese buried
at this spot, she writes. The
American and Phillppino graves
are marked with white crosses,
which appear in straight lines,
no matter from which angle one
looks. The Japanese graves are
marked with w'hite triangular
pieces of wood.
Another historic spot visited
by the local girl is Cavite, in Ma
nila Bay, where a major left in
a boat, which got Gen. MacAr
thur out of the islands. She also
spent some time at Corregidor,
the historic battleground, and
Bataan.
Baguio, in Northern Luzon, is
the summer capital of the Phil
ippines and is delightfully cool
the year around, she says.
The librarian was formerly
stationed in the Philippines,
however, she was transferred to
Okinawa a few months ago, aft
er being promoted to a.P-2. She
is Area Supervisor of 15 libraries'
(at the island.
i Upon arriving in Manila, in
(February, 1947, Miss Cavin says
(that they were met at the boat
by members of the Library Su
pervision, of Manila Area, with
huge orchid corsages. The beau
tiful flowers are raised in abun
dance on the island.
In the beginning, Miss Cavin
did supervision work in the li
brary section of headquarters,
at Manila.
Later she was sent to Fort
William McKinley to put the li
j brary there in condition to check
over from the U. S. Air Force to
the Philippine Scout Unit, which
moved in when the Government
closed that camp. Before the
war, this was known as the larg
est military reservation in the
( world.
From this camp she was sent
to Okinawa.
Before going overseas, and dur
ing the war, the Chattooga
’ County girl did technical library
I work for the G° vernm ent at El-
I gin Field, Fla. Prior to this time
she was a librarian in the Geor
gia Schools for a number of
i years.
Miss Cavin received her high
i school education at the Menlo
High School, and attended Bob
(Jones College, Cleveland, Tenn.,
for three years. After graduat
ing from Georgia State College
for Women, Milledgeville, Miss
Cavin did library work at Teach
ers College, Boone, S. C.
Her only brother is John C
! Cavin, overseer in the Riegel
(Textile Corporation, Trion, and
(Commander of Mason-McCauley
Post 6688, VFW.
