RIGHT AMBITION
Antbi.tion is one of th,e oldest traits of the human race and is the driutng torce behind accomplish.ment. Hrcweuer, sorr?l to say, a,ntbition is not always a ui,rtue. It depends on whether the aim of the ambitious man Ltes witlt- in th,e boundaries of social ard, economic acceptance. If greed, sparks the ambition of a ma,n, his accom,pltsh- me%ts can enhance only his own position and, d,estroy athers in the process. If good,-toill sparks the antbition ol a nLaiL, ltis accotn- plishments ttill redou,nd, to the benefit of society, for lte is thittki,ng af the uelfare of others in his driue toward accom- pl;ishment. If a brothet" is ambitious to beconte the Master of luis Lodge so that his talents cML be useiL to tlaeit" fu,llest in ad- t,ancing the cau,se of Masonry. and" his Lodge in particulnr, he is to be lauded. If he dt"iues for that position for lt;is'owtt aggrandizement, he is to be condemned,. We are all ambitious. Let u,s mnke the goal of our am- bitions the improuement ol Gouernment, assistance to its Officials, and patri,otic and ciuic leadersltip for out" youth. That, tny Brethren, uill be a real accomplishment.

JULY, t968 Edttoual; DUMAGUETE, THE CITY OF NICE PEOPTE
Sometime in March this year, we were agreeably taken aback when, after an absence of twenty-six years, we set fool on Rizal Boulevard and saw the sign, "\l\lelcome lo Dumaguete City, the City of Nice People,,. Those who know the quaint little town know lhat it is not an emp. ty gesture or an idle boast. lfs a nalural for the place. The townfolk have it in them and the newcomer or relurnee does not doubt ir. The Cebuano- English which rhey use is not as languid as the llongo-English; noneiheless, there is a sense of welcome and goodwilt in lheir lone of speech. It has a housing, but no school crisis, whal with its ihree sectarian and one non-sectarian private instituiions, the usua! complemeni of public elemen. tary and high schools and a trade school. One would rhink it is an educated city - and it is; less crime, less corruplion, less money, less slum, less squattage; though it sufferc from an overdose of noise, wilh more molorized pedi-cabs per square mile than any city or town in the country. Hippies cannol thrive there; the young'uns seem to have something, ihough little, to do. lf fhey are nof wrestling with books, they cut up the see, free.style or breast.stroke. The wide beaches, white sand and corral, help drown their boredom. More than lhese, it is an ecumenical city. Perhaps, that is lhe reason the lownfolk put up with the various religions offered by the many religious orders and denominations, lei alone one or two "prophets" wilh their privale followings. If sure is nice to be in a cordial ciiy whose cilizens lolerate each oihe/s ideas and beliefs and in the process cooperate for the welfare and good reputation of their city. Bul, as early as foriy years ago, even earlier, all was not peaches and cream. They did have their religious wars. fhe teachers and students of the iProtestant school were viewed wirh distrust as being disci- ples of the devi!. The students, when they went to town, were sloned and when it go, so bad, they simply kepi themselves in the campus for days and weeks even. The townfolk, when they crossed lhe campus were in iurn stoned and ganged upon. The lown's storekeepers soon realized that their tailor shops, refreshmenl parlors, beauty shops, reslauranis, gen- eral slores were empty for days on end. They offered the peace pipe wiih the school authorities and after a while things cooled off and cor- diality became the proiect of the two factions. lt was a slow process, but it went on from year lo year and now Dumaguele is a city of nice people! It is not gainsaid that Catholic Masons of ihree-score years ago had a share in developing the presenl almosphere in Dumagueie. They braved and risked ex-communication to send their children to school in the Protes?anl instilution, Silliman University, in its early days. Being leaders in their communilies, the people developed respecf-in-awe for the courage of the Masons. Soon, the others sent their children to school there and since ihen they have a lruly nalional and international student-clientele in that ins. tituiion. rurn to page 4 The Cabletow To the Call .

The leaders of the town who had ioined Masonry were ioined by rhe faculty of the school and the spirit of ecumenicity pervaded the community. The religious war died down. lncidentally, a similar phenomencn happened on the U.P. campus. ln 1957, at the height of the religious war on the new Dili- man campus, Rafael Palma lodge No. 147 was organized. Since then, the piques and quarrels on religion are dying out. lndeed, lhere is something io what Masonry has done and can do for the good of the community. There may be no more religious wars lo settle, but communities still have problems for solution. For instanco, lhere are apathy and indifference io local government officials, tow economic slandards, pelty crimes, unemployment, etc. These have to be solved be- fore any community can gno\ /.

Success has been al a premium and characler at a discounl. Today there is a greal and urgenl need for stiffening lhe moral backbone in all of us, for brinoinq back what we are loo apl to call ihe "old-fashioned" virlues, for setting once again the tesied standards of ethics and morality and applying them resolutely and in. telligently to the changing conditions of modern life.
