VIZ "a
visibility of which was severe
~ questioned by the Commit
tee on Expenditures in the.
field Executive Departments
The field investigation shows
that there are nowhere near
the AS farm consumers esti-
mated by REA to be connected
and to consume. $50 kilowatt-
hours per month.
While it is only reasonable
to expect that the farm con-
sumption will increase, the
possibilities are strictly limit
ed. After 6 years of operation,
10 consumers now use as
much electricity as REA first
estimated. If this number is
eventually doubled, so that 80
to 40 farm consumers use $50
kiloWatt hours per month, it
will be surprising. st. Croix
is an island composed of a
dozen large estates with thou
sands of farm laborers in one
room dwellings scattered a.
long the roads or gathered to-
gether in the vicinity of the
big house, The consumption
OF electricity by these people
cannot be greatly increased
until a new generation has
been reared and until and UNI
less the entire economy and
social condition of the island
undergoes a radical change.
The recommendations con-
tanned in every section of this
report point out the difficult
ty. The rural portion of the
REA project can be no better
than the agriculture of this
island permits.
The line of loss of 43 per
cent mentioned in previous re
probably results from
our unmetered electricity by
scores of small consumers who
are charged so cents, IS cents
or 81. per month flat rate. This
will be somewhat curtailed by
the installation of meters at
the points where these small
houses cluster. The expense|
of individual metering would
probably not be warranted by
the income which could be OBJ
tanned. If the project ever gets
in good financial position, it

and appears to be operating
with the greatest of efficiency.
The high cost of electricifica-
ton delivered to the lines is
due to the smallness of the
units and to the small con-
sumption.
We do not feel that it is rea
sonable to anticipate that the
estimated number of large
and small commercial con-
sumers will be reached. AS in
dicated elsewhere, we hope
that tourism will be develop
ed to the point of its fullest
extent. AS soon as a submar-
inc cable can be procured, the
Hotel-on-the-Ca will be con-
nected; the new hotel Bucca-
neer is now receiving service
and should be a large user.
Both are located in Christian
sted. Another hotel venture
was begun near Frederiksted
but abandoned after the ex-
penditure of several thousand
dollars, The two hotels men
toned will probably take care
OF all visitors for a long time
to come. It should be mention
ed that these hotels are not
the large commercial type.

We Need Loyalty

Somewhere upon the turbulent waters of Galee about
1900 years ago. the wind ragged and the angry ashed
little ship of fishermen who became perturbed by their
predicament and suddenly voice heard from which
came these words "Oh yea with little faith, and it, COM
mandng peace to be still.
Those fishermen in their excitement forgot to be loyal
is to trust. Hence they were afraid.
Today the American Negro is at seastorms of every
conceivable nature raging the political issues of the
hour take a definite form.
Spear-headng the cause of race submerged beneath
all other Harry Truman whose neck is stretched
far beyond prejudca barriers unprecedented stand

Official power should go to the true and tried split
vote cast for regime result only the defeat

stand for the Negrobut need not kid ourselves about
third party regime at this time T can't happen here in
its present form; that, we've got to admit"
So while rotten eggs and tomatoes flying in the Pro-
gressve Party direction and upon minority party whose
winning chances out of the question: let pass few
orchids to Harry S. Truman who has done something in
our behalf and who has great possibilities of holding the
position whereby he may continue to work behalf of
Civil Rights for humanity.
AS one ponders the lifting efforts of president
we should be determined to support him if it de-
manded the loyalty demonstrated that biblical story of

Do We Want Wage RoIlbackS?

It is probable that great many people have been de-

talk about price rollbacks without wage robacks just

Month of September
Is Sneezing Month

There is probably to be more
sneezing this month than during
any other period of the year. For
this is open season for allergies,
and the suffering red-eyed victims
are carrying spare-man-hized--
handkerchiefs.
According to DR.. John L. Lavan,
in an article written for the World
Book Encyclopedia, a substance
called histamine is partially re-
sponsible for "a host of allergies, in
cluding hay fever, asthma, hives,
eczema, inflammation of the eye
membranes, digestice disturbances,
migrane headaches, and even some
forms of epilepsy.
The trouble maker, histamine, is
always present in the cells of the
body. When a person comes in con-
tact with offending substance,
histamine enters the blood. When
histamine occurs in the blood
stream in too large amounts, it
causes the blood vessels and the
surrounding tissues to swell. AS
little as one-millionth part of his
famine in the blood is capable OF
producing allergic symptoms. IT
the swelling occurs in the nascal
mucous membranes, hay fever
might result: Swelling in the lining
of the bronchial tubes may produce
asthma.
It is not yet understood what
causes the body of an individual to
become sensitive to substance
which is harmless, OF even whole
some, to another person.
The substances which cause al
lergies are numbered in thousands.
Milk, wheat, eggs, anesthetics, SER
ums, fur, face powder, clothing
dye, feathers, house dust, and poll
en- are only a few of the many sub
stances which may bother certain
individuals.
During the war, one healthy
draftee was whiSkey off to camp,
where he quickly passed the men
tai and physical exam. Two days
later he was home with an honor
able discharge. The patriotic lad
enlisted in the Navy-but again he
was rejected after several days.

discussed the facts of the situation
with prominent writer's and others
interested in Arizona's water prob
lens, and taken every other step
possible to establish in the public
mind the economic and engineering
justification of the Central Arizona
Project, and the legal and moral
justice of our water rights on the
Colorado River.
(This, by the way, is a terrific
job, and is where about 80 percent
of the Central Arizona Project AS
sociation's money and efforts go.
This job goes on virtually day and

not reach the public eye. until

4. It has obtained the coopera-
ton of other communities and or
ganizations inside and outside the
state in the matter of the Central
Arizona Project.
TT STAYS OUT OF POLITICS
Your Central Arizona Project
Association has no tie-up with any
group or Individual and grinds no
ones axes. Whomever you vote for
in November, this Association con-
siders it none of its business. All of
us, individually and collectively,
are working only toward getting
water for this state.
REMEMBER THE SIX PRINCT-
PAL POINTS
Central Arizona is essentially an
agricultural economy. There are
725,0O0 acres in Central Arizona
which have been farmed. Already
73,5O0 of those are idle due to low
cred water tables and drouth. A
total of 100000 acres eventually
will go out Of production unless the
Central Arizona Project becomes q
reality. Because the far-reaching
effect i'm all ways-economically
and otherwise-of this great agri-
cultural empire, the Central Ari-
zona Project Association is fighting
for one Of the. greatest prizes in
Arizona's history.
The Central Arizona Project AS
sociation's efforts are dedicated to
getting Colorado River water. The
facts about Arizona's position in re-
gard to Colorado River water are
very few and very simple, and we
ask you to remember them-clip
-
glass top on your desk, or in some
other prominent place. They are:
1. The water is in the Colorado
River.
2. Arizona owns the water.
3. Arizona must have Colorado
River water to survive.
4. Arizona needs water for pres
ent, not future, projects.
5. Arizona is entitled to the wa

The Central Arizona Project As

dividhals in all walks of Arizona
life who have banded together to
bring Colorado River water to the
state, and primarily to the pres

Arizona. =

According to DR.. Lavan, allergies

This is accomplished by giving the
