PAGE TWO 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.

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.
