As we are 23 kms from the nearest town, transportation and communication is very slow and. poor. Alter crossing the river the only methods of transportat- ion are hitching rides with trac- tors from a nearby sugar cane plantation, or an occasional mer- chant passing through transport- ing goods via carabao and wagon, but Most common is ones own two feet!! As there is no school here, this community is completely illiterate and thus their only possible mode of communication is by word of /mouth. Therefore no mail system, no Magazines or newspapers -are found here. There being no electricity or telephone system here, their major source of communication with the out- side world is one transistor radio. The climate in this area for these summer months is charac- terized by abundant rainfall,uni- fortn humidity and high temper- ature& We experienced the first typhoon of 1972 a few weeks ago. ,It consisted of high winds and ver y heavy rainfall. Many of the villagers took'refuge in our house as it is more substantial than theirs, but our thatched.roof was definitely not leak-proof. And we had nothing other than a few bags to close off our windows and doorways with.

Instead, he and Mrs. Murray, who in February of this . year celebrated their fiftieth wed- ding anniversary, decided to drive to the party, a distance of four miles with a horse and buggy.. The horse, Rose Herbert, is a retired race horse. Affer their arrival one of the' main attractions was giving rides to the other guests. Dinner outdoors, was served to fifty-five family members and frietids. This ryas followed by lively games of six-hand euchre, which lasted well on to -the late evening. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Murray left early bepause he had no lightS on the buggy and wanted to get home before dark and to avoid the Sunday night traffic. The most popular day in the 'year as far as members of the Murray family are concerned is July 23rd. That is the day on which four brothers, sons of the late Mr. and Mrs., John Murray of Mc- Killop were born. To celebrate the event, three of the four brothers, Leo Murray, St. Columban, Steve Murray, Mc- Killop and Matt Murray gathered at the McKillop residence of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Murray together with other members of the family.

Council was notified that sup- plementary assistance will not be available for reconstruction of a two-mile stretch of road, easterly from Hensall.

I. certainly do feel that a great step has been taken towards attaining these objectives, and with this In mind I relate to you my experiences. - Our project sight IsKakilijan, which is a reserve for a•cultural minority group of Negritos, in the province of Zanibales. This little village is situated in the foothills of the Zambales moun- -tains, on the west coast of the largest island of Luzon in the Philippines. Believe me it is quite an isolated area. A main highway 'goes through San Marceline, the nearest town, 23 kms away. This town is 74 kms northwest of Manila, the Capital city of the Philippines. What may be the nearest road system, is a rug- ged narrow barrio trail. It is on this .trail that we came by a four wheel drive weapons car- rier for 18 kms and then by foot the rest of the way. As well, we had to cross a four foot deep river with a swift mirrent, thus, by the time we arrived at our project sight we were quite weary and drenched. Up until April 15 before Mr. Wealtho Minor, an agricultural- ist employed by the, Church, and five Seminary students arrived, the village obtained theirsdrink- ' ing water from a spring about 1/2 km away, and had to go 1 km to the river to wash their-- clothes, but Mr. Minor and the students made a water tank at the spring, and set up a water system at two spots in the Barrie. This group also constructed a four room bamboo "house on stilts" which is what they lived in, arid in whith we now reside. This house built according to Philipino standards is much more subiltantial than the Negrito homes. They also built a bamboo comfort room, whidh is com- parable to our latrines, and con- structed three stone walls around our water tap as a wash house.
