their little son Harry, 5 years old, pass

the Lutheran church where the funeral

pirate and touching. This paper extends

entertaining prog anime is on for to-
night at the Christiansted Theatre. The
Wonder Man has been shown in So
Thomas with marked success; see adVer
tisement with interesting summary OF
the drama on previous rage.
The show at St. Mary's Hall on Tues
day night was really a good one that
should have had a full house. The theme
of the drama was in harmony with the
name, Rent Free, and the t vo reel
comic with which the evening closed
created many a hearty laugh.
Would it not be a good idea to install a
power. plant at Kingshili for snDDIyi 'g
current to the government institutions
there, the Poor Farm, the Police Station
and the Telephone Central? 1t would
be more convenient and safer than oil
lamps, and the cost of maintenance
would probably not be much more.

EDITORIAL.

The question involving Parade Ground
and wkO have rights there and who
haven't appears to have some people in
a ouandary. One side essays to claim
that the Svitzers are the owners OF Par
AIDE Ground while others are perfectly
satisfied that 1t is the property Of Saint
Croix Colonial Treasury. 1t is fairly
we'll agreed, however, that the land was
acquired by this municipality by ex-
change with the earlier OW neIs Of Mt.
Welcome who were allowed to retain
grazing rights. 1t is also undisputed
that the plot of ground was required by
the government for military purposes
and for this reason came to be officially
termed ekSercerpIGiS (drill-grOund). In
all probability it suited the Danish gov
eminent at the time to extend the graz
ing rights to the eX-OWners since this
was q means of keeping the turf in the
right condition for the purpose the
government wanted the land; this should
not be lost sight Of. For rolling years
Parade Ground was used by the garrison
for military exercises, by Mr.. SvitZer for
grazing, and the public for field sports,
picnics, etc, and nobody ever considered
it a favor that the public was allowed
access to it since everybody was of the
understanding, a logical one as it would
appear. that the land was open to the
public for the purpose it was being used.

public righe to Parade Ground was n1Ver
carried out. the reason for dropping 1t
not being made public. Since the Amer
lean occupation the ground IS no longer
rsed for military purposes, the marlreS
having used at one time. ESt. Shoys~ then
Granard. and now Judith'5 Fancy the
owners of these places being only too
plea sed to let h government have the
use of land which is not otherwise dis
posed of. 1t is advanced that the SvItZ-
ers have the right to Qr&z2 their stock on
Parade Ground and the government to
use the land for milit " drill, but that
th1 land is not tx be spd for any other
pu poses. TheIlesl n naturally arises
as to who decides tnis. If the land IS
the property Of the Colonial Treasury
and not the Svitzars, they only having
certain privileges there, then 1t IS PLAN
that it 8 net left to them to eject people
off the land any more than the govern
ment. Besides, since the land is to be
used for military purposes and grazing
only, why are the marines allowed to
play baseball there? This is a pertinent
question we know; it may be answered
, a local slang: monkeys know what
es to climb on; they never climb or
SAID box trees. Furthermore, the right
to Craze any KIND or STOCK on EdFdue
Ground in its present condition is but a
faDlacy since there is nothing there TO
Craze on. big patches being absolutely
destitute of any growth whatever. Yet
it is the few small boys who play football
on this public piece of ground that must be
driven off TIE chivalrous watchmen of
Mrs. Svitzer. We have read official cor
r~esponderce on the subject dating back
to January 1918 in which the American
administration at that time took the pUo.
ton that the question should be settled
by the court if the public were being be-
irg d,spossessed Of their right. The
sooner this is done the better for
all conc raed. Why d)n't the Swift
zers sue people for trespassi1g on Pa
rade Ground? Each day numbers of
people drive and walk over the ground
going and returning from work? Why do
they not wire it up? Of course we all
know what a kindhearted, sympathetic
man Mr.. Svitzer was but we are
hard to believe that he would have al
lowed his private property" to lie open
to public usurpa ion for the last forty
years. The gOvernn ent will do the com
munity a lasting favor to have this mat
ter adjusted ence for all. AS for our
part we have little doubt as to how such
an issue will close.
