ties, inadequate and primitive at
best, to the danger point. The situ-
alton became so potentially danger
Gus to the defense program that
Gov Harwood recently few to
Washington in an endeavor to have
conditions remedied.
TeStifying before congressional
committee, Gov. Harwood reported,
in part:
THE Virgin Islands are assuming
place of great importance in our
national defense system and the
Army and Navy personnel stationed
there Is constantly increasing. A
threat no less menacing than a po-
tential enemy is present in their
midst in the form of such primitive
and antiquated facilities. ETC., all of
which are breeding places for dis
ease of epidemic character.
Acute Water Shortage.
ITO aggregate the situation fur
ther, there is at the present time
an acute water shortage for drink
ing purposes and personal hygiene;
the hospitals are old and dilapi-
dated, their facilities being made
quate to provide for those requiring
medical care and isolation in the
case of communicable diseases, par
ticularly tuberculosis; the insane,
lepers, poor farm inmates and crimi-
nails are confined in quarters and
surroundings which are disgraceful.
I'm addition to these priority
projects, there are other public
works which must receive attention.
such as the improvement and extern
sion of the present highway system
to facilitate rapid movement Of
troops, water front facilities to pro-
vide additional accommodations for
naval vessels, the electric power plant
and additional buildings to accom-
modate the increasing govern
mental functions, all of which can
be classed in the category of ma
tional defense"
Therefore, Congress appropriate
ed money for a comprehensive sur
vey of the islands under the di-
rection of the Secretary OF the In
terror. The bill specifically set
forth that the study was to in
clude "the need for construction,
rehabilitation, or improvement of
sewer, water, power and other utili-
ty services, and other public works
necessary for the welfare of the
Virgin Islands of the United States"
The Carmody party plans to stay
in st. Thomas several days making
preliminary Investigations and sur
veys, and then visit st. Croix, the
agricultural center of the Virgins
group 40 miles to the southwark. A
far-reaching project for diversified
crops and livestock production there
which it is hoped will make the
islands self-supporting to a large
extent in the matter of food pro-
duction will be surveyed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The daring
exploit of three Dutchmen who
took German planes from under
the very eyes of NaZi guards in
their occupied homeland and flew
them to England on the same day
from separate Netherlands airports
was related last night by Aneta,

The first plane reached a Suffolk
airdrome after being riddled with
machine gun bullets from British
nests on the ground and three pur-
suing Hurricanes. the news agency
said, while the other was said to
have been piloted across the North
Sea to a different English landing

The first was a twin-engined
aircraft, with German markings,
which suddenly dived out of the

Merely a Form of
Feminine Stupidity

Then that woman-if she has
any brains at all-can put them
to some use. She will have more
time to share the activities of her
family. She will have more time
to give to her children.
She'll be able to greet her hus-
band with a good-natured smile
when he comes home at night,
instead of Grossly recounting all
the trials and tribulations Of her
day, and expecting him to SYM
pathize-when he would like to
relax.
And she'll have more time to do
something useful in her communi-
ty. Men have never made the
mistake of trying to become In
dispensable in a dull, routine job
instead of trying to get someone
else to do the dirty work so they
can move up to something better.
That's a form of feminine stu
pidity. l

First hand observation of the chill

Courage Bolstered

In their church halls. their hired
armories, small one-time dance
halls and even in private homes
they are seeking to keep up the
stopt-hearted courage of the east
enders, are trying to see that
east end children get some
schooling and some sleep, and are
comforting the aged.
But they are fighting an uphill
battle. The child problem is the
one worrying them most. They are
disturbed at the admitted increase
of gambling among children. Even
the kids of 7 and have been
caught playing cards for money in
some east end shelters. Pools
have been made by youthful book
makers on the possibility of SUCH
and-such place being hit by a
bomb.
Some children have been caught
attempting to engage in petty
footing after bombing raids. Social
workers find a general disincffna-
ton ON the part of the children TO
attend school after a severe bomb
ing raid.
