Box 735 Warm Springt, Oregon 97761 His hard-to-pronounce yet melodic name is as intriguing as the land from which he hails—the Philippines. Though Perry describes the islands as lush and tropical with waterfalls and inviting white-sand beaches, he says he is afraid to return there. “President Ferdinand Mar cos and his party have the Philippines ùnder a constant state of martial law, and since I am against that party, I’m fearful of going back,” he says. Before Marcos came into power, the country was a de mocracy and a wonderful place to live, according to Perry. He was born in the town of Macabebe, but grew up in Manila where he attended school. “We learned English starting in the first grade because classes aren’t taught in Tagalog which is a national language,” he explained. One is aware of a bit of an accent when talking with Perry which is explained by the fact that, though he spoke English in school, he spoke in his own tongue the majority of the time. He attended college at the University of East Manila where he graduated in 1951 as an accounting major. He also passed the Board Exam in 1951, and officially became a Certified Public Accountant in 1952. In 1970, Perry was sent by his government as a budget examiner to observe budgeting procedures and techniques in the United States. Because of the sad state of political affairs in the Philip pines, the Philippean Consul General in Seattle, Washington helped him and his brother-in- law file papers for permanent residency in the United States. After one year in Seattle and one and a half years in Tacoma, he moved to Portland where he worked until April of this year. It is then that he saw the ad in the classified section of the newspaper advertising the position that brought him to Warm Springs. Since he began work here on May 2nd, Perry has joined the Toastmasters Club where he has been assigned the duty of “Table Topics Master”. The clubs helps people to learn how to verbally express themselves comfortably in group situa tions. He is currently staying at Sonny’s in Madras but would prefer to find a place in Warm springs with a furnished room. “It’s a long drive to work each day,” he sighs. One gains the impression that he would like to be more a part of the community in which he works and that he likes people. “The only people I can’t get along with are those who don’t want to get along with me,” says the easy going Perry. teepees while at camp, and are to set up their own teepee.
