PICTURESQUE PALO
SPANISH INFLUENCE SEEN Palo, a Philippine town occupied by the Americans, is like a page from a Spanish picture book, reports H. J. Summers, Sydney Morning" Herald war correspondent. Its more important buildings are in the architectural style ol’ Spain. On every side is evidence of the 400 Christian- missionary years. The largest building is an ancient Catholic church, from which American and Filipino flags are flying. The clock above the church door is still keeping the time. On the .road leading into the town a steel bridge spans the Palo River. At the roadside, near the bridge, a great figure of the Blessed Virgin and Child stands in a grotto cut in the cliff.
