Virgin Islands

| wish to say here and now
that as one user of the public
roads, | heartily appreciate
the work done by Acting Dir
ector Matthias in clearing
away the brush on the blind
corners along the center line
road.
It is even mere commenda-
bic when one realizes that the
Acting Director has taken
over a field of work that does
not come under his jurisdic-
ton. 1t is soeseldom that any,
one takes on responsibility
outside his scope of operation.
Again I wish to thank the
Acting Director of Police for
his genuine civic interest; and
may he long keep up his pep
and Drive.
Very truly yours,

EDITORIAL
Our Parks Should Be Properly Maintained

A R SPECIAL effort should be made to beautfv
the island and develop its parks and Fairgrounds. Because Of
our warm and delightful climate, much time is spent in the
outdoors, and we should see that in time we have here 4 vr.
tlal garden. 1t is possible, and with a little time and effort #
can be realized. What is most necessary is cooperation and
understanding.
HE PARKS and Fairgrounds Commission is the official
agency, created by the legislature, through which all work in
tnat connection can be begun & directed. Through the Com
m1ttee a careful study should be made, and plans laid for a
Longtime program OF development and Identification. In the
United States, private organizations build and maintain great
Stadlums where thousands meet for football and baseball
games. All OF this is in addition to the numerous parks which
cities and states maintain. Here, however, it is different for
all OF our parks have to be maintained by the local govern
ment, which places a much greater responsibility on the mum
clpa1ty, and an added drain on its already meagre resources,
Yet people must enjoy the outdoors, and youth must have its
expression in competitive games.
WE SUGGEST a modest budget for maintenance. The
basketball courts in ChristianSted and Frederiksted need
floodlghtS Tor night games, and Parade Ground, one Of our
principal fields, must be moved and kept in repair for con-
slant use. Governor LimprichtS park, in the center of Chris
tanSted Town, across from Penthenys Hotel, though a pub
hc park, has not been used to greatest advantage by our cii-
zenS. This is no doubt because many regarded it as private
property.HoWeve it is known to be public, it may well be
used more fully, now that it is being renovated and two lights
installed for the first time in its history.
WHILE ON the subject of parks let us remind our read
ers that each and every citizen has the responsibility to help
keep these parks and grounds in good condition, and one way
IS to prevent youngsters from destroying the trees and shrub

Soil Packing Reduces
Productivity Of Land

''Plug your soils as you would a
watermelon, is the advice of many
soil experts. This will give you a
chance to see competitions that are
holding down yields. Modern heavy
equipment and short-sighted crop
ping practices have robbed the soil
of it's organic matter and often
packed it, according to Middle West
Soil Improvement committee. Per-
manent remedy is regular use Of
deep-rooted legumes.

Having adopted many soil conser-
walton practices recommended by
the u. S. soil conservation service,
among which were comforting, his
yield had been increased. BY this
method he reduced water run-off
and cut soil loss to the minimum.
A fence had been erected on 32-
acre tract along the north side of
the Connor farm. The fence ran
according to the compass. When
Wiley Conner returned from the
military forces, father and son de-
cided to reclaim several acres Of
waste land, which included an old
barn lot near; the north line and bi.
sected by a small ditch.
Unable to plant the land to ber-
ries on the contour because of the
straight fence line, the two moved
the fence. Now their line fence
follows half-moon shape which
would have aroused the horror of the
early Ohio settlers. Conner, how
ever, is not concerned with guiding
his life and farming activities by
the compass. He is concerned with
saving his top soil. Two diversion
bitches have been constructed and
six acres Of trees planted.

Brell Meat to Add Flavor,
SAYS Nutrition Specialist

You know there's something spe
cial about a broiled steak, and there
are other meats that seem extra
good when broiled
Frances Cook foods and nutri.
ton specialist, University Of Hi
nois college of agriculture, lists
these meats as excellent for broil-
ing Steak or ground meat one
inch thick, lamb chops one inch
thick, liver one-half inch thick, ham
One-half inch thick. and fish steaks.
These take about IS minutes to
broil
Remember a few simple rules for
perfection when you broil meat,
Miss Cook says. Let the meat stand
at room temperature about 80 min
utes before broiling so it won't be
thoroughly chilled Brush any meat
except pork with melted fat.
It's best to preheat the broiling
unit five to 10 minutes, but do not
Preheat the pan. Set the tempera-
ture control at the position for brol-
ing. And place the rack where meat
win broil best-usually where meat
viii be three inches from the source
81 heat.
The meat should be turned only
once, Miss Cook points out. Broil
It half the required time on one
aide, hall on the other.

2. Open the damper.
3. Using a metal container, bring
in the coal and wood Place it on
the metal pad beneath the stove.
That metal pad is important-if
you don't have one, now is a good
time to get one.
4. Twist several sheets of news
paper together and bend them in
the shape of a horseshoe. Place
them in the combustion chamber
and put dry kindling on top of the
paper.
5. Light the FIRE from underneath.
6. Shut the ashpit door and par
tally close the side openings. Open
the draft in the ashpit door.

Babies Born PremafureIv
Often Doomed 10 Blindness

About one in every eight prema
ture children weighing less thar
three pounds at birth goes blind
according to Baltimore eye spe.
clalist. It might be connected In
some way with the elaborate care
given such babies under modern
medical standards, he said.
Between the ages Of two months
and six months, the doomed in
fants develop a peculiar membrane
behind the lens of the eye, usually
IN both eyes, which in most cases
goes on to develop into a fibrous
structure that fills the eyeban. The
eyebau enlarges to a state resem-
bling glaucoma and blindness is
permanent and usually complete.
The report was made by William
z. Owens, M. D., and Ella U.
owens, M. D., of Johns Hopkins
university before the American
Academy of Opthalmology and
Otolaryngology, at its ffty-third an
nual meeting.
There is no treatment for the con-
oIllon, Dr. Owens said. It repre-
sents some popularity of develop
ment, the cause of which is so far
unknown.
The condition does not exist at
birth and it is therefore not con
genital, It begins to appear in the
second or third month, never later
than the sixth month.

Introduction Of Canning

When France, under Napoleon,
was fighting the other nations of
Europe, food for the French armies
was one of the greatest problems.
The French government, as a mill
tary measure, offered a prize of
$4,000 francs to anyone who could
find satisfactory method of pre-
serving food. A man by the name
of Nicholas Appert was among
those who set out to win the prize
After is years, in 1910, he an
nounced that he could preserve food
by first heating it and then sealing
it in alright containers. This was
the beginning of the art of canning.
Appert was given the prize and is
called the father of the canning
industry"

It also would give the Army, Navy

the Air Force one more full general
"a total Of five.
The measure would not affect

The present Army-Navy promo

The Army now has seven four.

The Andrews bill would allow any

active duty any time, but he would
remain on the retired list and
thus would not count against the
