could really get together and

Another blessing would be
if the AVICA and the Coord.

would be an occasion for a

Governor and Mrs. HASTE
spent a quiet week here and
indeed, it must have been an
enjoyable one.
Day by day St. Croix is
being discovered as the
IDEAL spot. Strange, almost
everyone, including continent
ais, say they were told they
would never like the place
it's too dead-then on arrival
they decide to remain, some
times forever.
Moral: Come and see for
yourself.
p. S. So many could not be
wrong.

It has become common prac-
tice for certain parents in the
towns, especially, to let their
little "tots" run naked and
filthy into the public streets.
That ought not to be tolerated
by the government. Only in
slum areas of a country are
such things permitted. Some
one ought to give these people

A question I have always
wanted to ask is this: Is it
healthy for people to bar
every window & door of their
homes, even though they have
a baby or babies therein? If
not, / would urge the various
health organizations, which
are doing excellent work, to
start a fresh air campaign.

mills SO that they can operate
efficiently, put in new ma
chinery and new presses for
the sugar cane raised by the
planters.
1t happens that the Virgin
Islanders complain that the
one and only bank which they
have does not lend money to
responsible persons in sums
large enough to help them i'm
prove their industry and agri-
culture or enter into private
ventures.
The Bill further provides.
that $4,000, 900 Of this amount
may be used as loans, and may
/ say that this is the first time
in the history Of the Islands
that measures of such a nature
has been taken.
1t is the purpose of the Con-
gress of the United States to
give the Virgin Island people
once and for all that kind of
help with which they may
help themselves we would be
quite willing to erase all of
the plumbers in that direction
in the past and become appre-
ciative that the Congress of
the United States is actually
trying to do something for
the islands, which may not be.

commendable. There is a mark

I do know that in some cases
there is a fear of someone en-
tering through the window at
nights, or the proverbial
GHOSTS. However, why not

There is assurance from the
Governor & Councilmen that
