N1  - The Rotary Balita no. 641 (March 2, 1950)
N2  - Manila Rotary is fortunate to have several active Jaycees in our membership. Our Manila Juniors left their foot prints in high places of honor all the way around the world on their recent trip. We had reason to be proud of their behavior. Now we have a chance to reciprocate and return the hospitality they enjoyed abroad. May our boys have no occasion to be ashamed of their home folk. We know how to be magnanimous. Surely we will not miss this opportunity to put Manila on the map as the real Pearl of the Orient. May every visitor be made to realize that we are a Christian people, a bright and shining light in the Far East. May every hour spent by every Jaycee on our shores make him glad that he came and anxious to come again.  -  If you are tempted to evade any of the numerous control regulations, you better think twice, or even thrice. Any violation ca subject the offender to a criminal prosecution, and if convicted to a fine up to P29,000.00 and imprisonment for as long as five years. It should not be overlooked that many of the young fellows seen daily on our streets clad in orange-colored garments, with picks and shovels, thought they could disregard our laws, and get away with it. Ignorance of the laws and regulations did not help them. It's far cheaper and easier to find out what is lawful and keep out of trouble, than to "cough through your nose" in trying to wiggle out of it. It is more prudent to file petitions for control permits, than for a parol or a pardon.
