forgotten that it is to these
tasks that legislators must APP
ply their efforts. And once a
serious view is taken, and our
legislators see what is before
them to do, and realize the
task, they will have little time
for unimportant, petty things.
What seems unfortunate in
this respect is the indefinite
attitude.
IT IS to be hoped that as

After Graduation What?

1TCGT OFdQudCIO1 WHdC!
LAST NIGHT SO young men and young women received
diplomas from the Christtansted High School, signifying that
they had completed the required work. Now that they have!
graduated, the question which comes to us is: What next?"
SOME of these graduates will naturally find themselves
in colleges in America, or elsewhere, some will fill local posi-
tons for which they are fitted, but the greatest number will
undoubtedly drift off to the United States. And that is the
group over which we in the Islands should show greatest con
cern. These are the graduates who will drift off to the United
States, and SO to speak, get lost in the swift life of New York
or some other large city. This shifting Of population is de-
priving us of some of the best young, energetic people who
should be here making their contributions to the social and
economic life of the Islands.
BUT there is little that these young people can do. They
have gone to high school, they have completed their work,
and to some extent they feel that unless there is an opportun-
ity to put their training to work, all the years will have gone
to waste. And they are right. Over the years the Islands have
been steadily declining, and the result Of such decline is
shown clearly in the migration of the population, which now
leaves us with a heavy percentage of very young, and very
old. A state Of affairs such as this, permitted to continue,
would reduce us to a desert island, and either natives of sur
rounding islands could take over completely, or these Islands,
and particularly St. Croix, will find itself a wilderness.
THIS condition adds even greater responsibility to our
leaders, particularly those in the legislature. 1t is their prob
lem to work out ways and means whereby the youth Of these
Islands may find their opportunities within these shores. This
is no idle statement, nor is it expected that miracles should be
brought about overnight. This responsibility Of which we
speak calls for thoughtful planning, which will bring about
the conditions giving wider employment to our young people.
II. Might be pointed out that there are problems Of finances,
Of unemployment, Of lack Of cooperation, but, let it not be

SEVEN BEARS BAGGED
 BY VERMAR(0 PARTY

The Vermarco, owned by Art Kinnan left Juneau about ten days ago with MT. and Mrs. G. c. Parker of Tulsa and Robert Parker and wife of Midland, Texas, on a hunting and fishing cruise around the Baranof, Chichagof and Admir- atty Islands. She returned yester- day with quite few more than the original party four brown hear, three blacks and wolf had been bagged.
 Guides John Osborne of Juneau and Max Dorman of Funter Bay were very well satisfied with trip results but were nonetheless relating the painful tale of the one that got away. The wolf which the hunters shot had a three-inch paw, but tracks belonging to the pack leader measured five inches and were well imprinted in the tuH.
 More than $50 nautical miles were covered during the trip. The date of the Vermarcos next ven- ture is not definite.

are very short. strikingly contrasted
and highly descriptive, 1t is the
kind of music for which one is
tempted to find a definite program
The first movement opens abruptly
with harsh, short chords. Almost
Immediately a churchly chant is
given the viola and dispersed be-
tween the other instruments. This
is quickly dissipated by an odd
jubilation that takes on a sinister
note with sui ponticello playing and
the distorted image of the chant.
When this is abandoned the reli-
gious theme returns, bringing the
movement to a sudden and quiet
end.
The Allegretto, with its brief, dis
jointed phrases, leads into a ber-
ceuse-like Andante where a lovely
melody weaves itself above the
rocking accompaniment. A short,
pungent Animate grazioso concludes
the work. There is great economy
in Wellesz' writing, yet with a few
brush strokes he sketches the en-
tire picture. Also, and unobtrusively,
he touches the extremes of senti-
ment as shown in the opening
Grave and the simplicity of the
"Andante."
1t is, however, not a grateful
work for the Loewenguth artists, for
it needs more robustness and more
vivid dynamic contrasts than be-
long to their style. Yet again, the
group registered, its distinctiveness
in musical concept, in elegance of
delivery and in the modesty that
regulates its taste. They were re-
ceived with enthusiasm by an audi
ence of capacity size.

Loewenguth Quartet Gives
Chamber Music Fresh Approach

which is most effective in the lovely
pianissin1o that seems to be natural
to each of the four artists. Every
shading is arrived at with delicacy
that often is miniature in design
The right moment and the right de-
gree of every effect is worked out
with the utmost finesse.
The use of these characteristics
in Ravel produced a matchless per-
formance. The same fastidious ap-
proach was less applicable to Mo-
zart, whose Quartet in C major,
K. V. 465' opened the program.
Through the movements, the accu-
mulative effect was that of dryness
and SamenesS. 1t was diSpassioned
and cerebral, although constantly
giving evidence of the polished mu-
steamship of the players. 1t cannot
be said that the ensembles tone has
marked beauty in itself except when
it can attain the ethereal quality
that SO exceptionally expressed
Ravel's music. For Mozart, some
thing more genial, perhaps more
earthly, was required.
The Washington debut of the
Paris group was also the occasion for
the first performance of Egon
Wellesz' Quartet No. 6, op. 64."
Composed last year, it is the second
work of this type from his pen to
be played in the Library. A quartet
from opus go was played for the
first time in America by the Kroll
String Quartet on Founders Day
last year.

With the repeated hearings of the
same chamber music groups, a GER
tain style is established in the
mind of the listener as being the
only manner in which this type
of music should be played. There
fore the appearance of the Loewen-
guth String Quartet of Paris in the
Library of Congress last night offered
welcome opportunity to hear it
from fresh approach. The Paris
ensemble. the members of which
are Alfred Loewenguth and Jacques
Murgier, violinS; Roger Roche,
viola, and Pierre BasseuX, cello,
made its local debut in this program
presented under the sponsorship
of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge
Foundation. Famous abroad, the
group has come to the United States
only recently
The Ravel Quartet in F major" 4"
played last on the program, was
the best medium for the full dis
closure of the particular style in
ensemble playing, musicianship and
tonal quality of the members. 1t
was an exquisite performance. The
music seemed born from the air
and not from instruments, and its
rare beauty floated through the
auditorium in disembodied fashion,
Seldom has the full character of
Ravels Quartet been so thoroughly
captured and given out with such
artistry.
The Lowenguth players are dis
tinguished for their refinement
which never oversteps the boundary
of good taste for either emphasis
or for volume. Theirs is lyric play
ing expressed in restrained tone,

Lack Of Support Here
For Youth Programs Hit

The people of the District are
doing an inadequate job of sup
porting and carrying out youth pro-
grams, according to Arthur Kruse,
executive director of the United
Community Services.
Addressing the Junior Board of
Commerce in the Burlington Hotel
yesterday, Mr.. Kruse said the av-
erage District resident contributes
less toward youth programs than
the price of one meal year.
You can't build without funds"
said the social worker and we lack
funds. Leadership is needed for
youth programs, and in the present
situation here, we don't have that"
Mr.. Kruse praised the Junior
board youth programs-helping pa
tients in hospitals here and boys
at the National Training School.
