Leader Of Mutiny Is
Newcomer to PhiIoteIv

Ieo0eT OF WtutIny is
Newcomer to PhiIoteIy
FLETCHER CHRISTIAN, leader
of the famous "Mutiny on the
Bounty" is introduced to stamps
portrait gallery on the Pitcairn
Island stamp above. The issue
is one of Pitcairn's first series OF
eight.
Captain Bligh described Chris
tan as an able seaman, of a re-
spectacle family. Christian was
masters mate at the time of the
mutiny, had made two previous
voyages with Bligh.
Christian also led the flight to
Pitcairn Island, taking eight other
mutineers, six native men, IL ma
tive women and one child. But
the romantic adventure ended
soon after they reached their Pa
cifc hideaway. Although safe
from British law, they were still
victims of hate and jealousy.
Natives and whites clashed, first
over one of the women, later be-
cause the sailors treated the ma
tives as slaves. Christian and four
OF his comrades were killed in a
sudden attack. There is no evil
dence, however, that Christian
mistreated his d r ks kinned
friends, or plotted against his fell
low colonists.
Recent census of Pitcairn's pop
ulation listed 66 Christians among
the islands 200 residents.

claI LIE of the city tied up in a
Knot; Money builds the community
as long as it circulates, If il
stagnates in checks, no good will
come OF it. Yet n can't expect
the city commissioners to appro.
pirate a huge sum for a place tc
cash Holly Ridge checks.
Suggestions have been made
that the banks. who are ideally
suited for the kind of clearing
mouse imperative, should take
turns remaining open on Saturdays
giving the burden to no single
pank. One definite drawback to
TINS would be the magnitude of
the task of anyone's memory to
keep IN mind which bank was open
when. This would probably result
III the majority of the paychecks
falling right back on the mer-
chants cash affair.
The merchants would have a diff
flcult time deciding whose store
should be damned with check
cashiers for their proposed clear
ing house. The best solution seems
one centrally located bank offer
ing its establishment for the Satur-
day business, and the merchants
to pay the expense of the rotation
OF bank clerks serving during the
announced hours. Each bank could
IN all probability give the clerk
chosen to serve on a particular
Saturday the number of hours off
on a week day, thus clearing uI
the hour situation.
OF course the above is only
specializing or a community pro.
blem-but one in which immediate
action will save many headaches
and Holly Ridge pennies.

Senator BilbO Coming

Despite protests from several
Minnesota Negro Democrats Sena-
tor Theodore Bilbo Of Mississippi
will be the principal speaker at the
Jackson Day dinner March %.
Democratic chieftains in the state
realized too late that Bilbo was
thoroughly disliked by colored peo-
pie everywhere and by most whites
who believe in progressive move
ments.
An attempt to get another speak
er assigned to Minnesota was un-
successful. Bilbo is reported to
have told a Minnesota leader that
he was "a friend Of the colored
people"
Two years ago Bilbo sponsored q
bill in Congress to provide for the
removal Of all American Negroes
to Africa. The bill attracted some
publicity but was laughed out of
Congress and of the nations front
pages.
