SMALL INDUSTRIES

Perhaps the island people
cannot be expected to possess
the enterprise and technical
knowledge necessary to Undue
trial development as we know
it IN North America and in
Europe. Climate, lack of op-
portunity, malnutrition, and a
natural apathy all perhaps
contribute to the way Of life
which now exists. Somehow
these people themselves must
change what can be changed.
AS in the development Of the
tourist trade, we recommend
that the Government through
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation or indirectly
through the Virgin Islands
Company, provide loans for
the establishment and main
tenance Of small inductries.
No one can prophesy the ex-
act nature of the industries to
be developed. Out Of the many
suggestions made, we might
name textiles, leatherworking,
button manufacturing, furni-
ture, housefurnishings, pro-
cessing industries, building
materials for local use, and
interisland transportation. In
this connection, the first step
should be to find the market

NOTICE FROM THE POLICE

A0AAAo4HS " Tic MQI11cl-
pality of St. Croix known as
the Police Regulations reads
as follows:
Every dog must be licensed
License tags shall be renew
ed every year during the
month of January; and there
after throughout the year the
owner shall similarly secure
a license tag and certificate
for each and every dog when
it reaches the age of three
months.
Imported dogs must be Ii
eensed within thirty days af-
ter their arrival.
Subsection (a)
The fee for a license tag for
a dog shall be $500 per an
mum for the town and legal
suburbs, and $1.00 per annum
for the country districts.
Subsection (b)
The Police Department shall
take up or shoot any dog
found without proper license
tags, any bitch in heat, any
dog roaming the streets or
public roads after nine o'clock
p. m. and before six o'clock
a. m. Dogs taken up may be
redeemed within 48 hours
upon payment Of a fine of
$500, and the payment of the
proper license fee if found
without license tag attached
to the collar. Dogs thus not re-
deemed shall be destroyed by
the police"
In view of the fragrant vio-
lation of the aforementioned
ordinance, the Police Depart
ment takes this opportunity
to inform the public in gener-
al that a very rigid and strict
campaign is being planned and
will be ready for execution
not later than February Is,
l948, by the Police Depart
ment in order to eradicate
the dog nuisance that has
been disturbing the commun-
ity for many years.

- "a
Sonable assurance of a good
is obtained and the
necessary transportation is in
then the manufacture
should begin. This will pre-
vent repetition Of occurrences
such as the costly experiment
with the raising oftomatoes
IN st. Croix, where it was
found that either they rotted
by the time they reached New
York's markets, or through
lack of control of distribution
by the growers, the tomatoes
on hundreds Of acres, planted
under WPA program, had to
be abandoned because of poor
planning. The Department of
Commerce now has a repre-
sentative in the islands study
ing the possibilities of indus
trial development. AS a ser
vice to the people, we recon-
e.
mend that the Department Of
Commerce provide additional
staff N border to push the work
more quickly and allow this
staff to remain in the islands
for a period of 2 or 3 years so
that it may stay long enough
to do a Well-rounded-out Job.
This is not intended as a sub
stitute for local initiative. Moth
ing will be of much avail I'M
less the island people them
selves with their own money
and their own energy attempt
new industries which will pro-
vide new employment and
bring in new money. Local
groups such as the chamber of
commerce and others will have
to be the spark plugs" in this
endeavor.
The United States tariff law
is something of a deterrent and
its strict Interpretation by the
Bureau of Customs has dis
couraged manufacture. We re-
commend that the Tariff Act
be amended to provide that
any percent of foreign goods
may be incorporated into pro-
ducts in the Virgin Islands and
admitted directly to the Unit
ed States duty free. A speci-
fic case occurred recently
where a manufacturer wished
to import shells from the

referred to above and the man

Mom's a great gal. You've said
so time and time again. And on
May you get chance to prove
to Mom-if you haven't done SO
each day-that you really think
she's tops on your list Of favorite
people.
But each year when Mothers Day
comes around, Teenas set up a
wall, But I don't know what to
get Nom for a present."
Let's race through the list OF
good Mothers Day gifts that are
spotted each year on the counters
for you to choose from. What you
decide on depends on your finances
Mons need for the item, Mons S
taste, whether she's sophisticated or
sweet and whether or not she'd
prefer a new electric mixer or a
box full of pretty flowers.
Now, there's a blouse. a bottle OF
cologne or perfume, bath acces-
sories, hosiery, a handbag, a lace
trimmed slip or gift certificate to
her favorite beauty salon. II the
hosiery or the slip appeals to you,
by all means find out her correct
size. The pleasure of the gift wears
away when Nom realizes that she
has to make a trip to town to ex-
change 1t.
r. Mother types vary. What might
appeal to your Nom may not nee
essarily appeal to your best chum's
mother. One gift, however, that Is
sure to please any number OF
mothers is stationery.
This Is largely an individual
choice. Correct stationery can be
individual and at the same time
reflect woman's personality. Some
night soon at the dinner table turn
the conversation around to the sub
ject of writing paper. Find out
Mons likes and dislikes, then sur
prise her on Mothers Day with a
box of stationery that is truly hers.

gest few papers for you. You

we hope.

you say the other >day that you'd
like to get your license? Well, why
don't you sign up for the course?
Oh, you want to know more about
the class work. Well, during most
of the semester course the student
drivers actually spend their time on
the road. I remember one group
often coasted along the streets OF
Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and
even through the District traffic, to-
ward the latter part of the course

The Young Idea
Course Of Driving Lessons
Proves Of Real Benefit
By Joyce Darby, Is,
Montgomery Blair High School.

How many times each OF us tried
to park before we became very sue
cessful, but it was worth it!
"Now, don't let me give you the
impression that the actual driving
is the only thing we did. Oh, no!
We studied the simple mechanics OF
a car and we especially needed that
part of the course which particularly
was emphasized - that is, sports
manlike driving. We even read a
book by that title which is sent out
by the AAA.
THAT book really dwells on a
score of subjects! For instance, 1t
explains how to take good care OF
cars; it tells of the accident rate
and what causes them and how best
to prevent Them. And our driving
teacher as well as that book con-
tinually pointed out the correct
rules, the right attitudes, and I'M
portant safety measures.
"Oh, so you decided you want to
take the course, Jim! I'm so glad.
for I think youll learn a lot. I
know I did!"

for her "extra-special" letters. Have

of her correspondence. Course that
makes two boxes but think of how
pleased she'll be! Just as perfume
can become "her" fragrance so can
her letters be personalized.

will like petersburg" paper that
is simplicity itself. Unexpected
color comes to the paper through a
wide hand-brushed border. The
envelope has a two-color lining.
Should Nom be more Of the ardent
clubwoman type, she might like a
paper called calais Ripple" This
one has textural interest and clear
color accents. If Nom is quiet
person, she'll like "Pensmooth." This
is a paper with broad edge of
soft color with a china-smooth sur
face. A very feminine affair.
