BY HAL CLARK

It is passing strange that this
game of jump, bump and dump
each other all over the minute
space (still dignified by the title
of 'lobby'D, which produces a
sprightly form of action rarely
seen even on the gridiron, did not
attract his attention, if it failed
to excite his admiration.
It may be that I am unfair to
him. Perhaps he is one of those
incipient world citizens, whose
belief is that people should grow
closer to one another. Should
this random guess prove to be
accurate, I am perfectly willing
to agree with Mr.. Mochel that the
Kennewick post office lobby will
establish a close acquaintanceship
with ones fellow patrons at al
most any hour of the day.
Again, say, it seems odd. Be-
cause, according to the statement
of his discoveries, as forwarded
to the Kennewick postmaster by
F. J. Buckley, acting fourth assis-
tant, Mr.. Mochel was Gin the
quarters for three full days."
So far I have dealt only with
the problem of the crowded GUS
toner. But, in the past, I have
watched as well the sardine-like
existence of the post office per-
sonnet. Quite candidly I say that
their circumstances appeared to
cry out for correction. And there
appeared to be no simple answer
to the need for correction.
But that was before Mr.. Mo-
chel visited "for three full days"
There is really no reason why
you should not (as postmaster

I think I've discovered a man
whose native fortitude enables him
to rise superior to the discom-
fort of tight shoes and combining
corsets. and who would be able
if he were a snail - to creep into
snail shell with another snail.
If his OPINIONS are a clue to
his capabilities, he would be able
to set up a boarding house in a
telephone booth and inaugurate
bus service with an Austin coupe.
He is the man, who recently
inspected the Kennewick post
office and concluded that "the
present quarters are adequate for
the handling of the business OF
the office which has now leveled
off to approximately $4,000 per
annum."
This gentleman, E. L. Mochel,
u. S. Postal Department inspec-
tor, recently visited the Kenne-
wick post office with a view to
determining the need for addi-
tional space.
Mr.. Mochel was apparently un-
impressed by the chummy ma
ture of the little customer cubicle
in which patrons stand shoulder
to shoulder and lick their stamps
sidewise in the interest Of con-
serving space and keeping their
neighbours elbow out Of their
ears.
Nor was his sporting blood
aroused - it seems - by the
spectacle Of box holders squatting
on their heels to gain entry to
their lock boxes, while escaping
patrons fall over them on their
way to the exit.

ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE?

It's just 10 days today before the people OF these
United States will go to the polls IN natlOnal
election.
To most Of those who are qualified to vote, it
will be an important occasion.
Unfortunately, to many it will pass just as if it
were shower of rain, Windstorm or another loot
ball or baseball game. Many won't take the time or
90 out of their regular courses enough to vote.

There will be others who won't want to forego

fans ever take hold in the de-
velonment of the athlete.
Saturday nights game with
Hardin was almost an newt
able climax for Laurel. The
boys worked unusually hard
for the whole season, pointing
to that game that was bound
to come. Hardin represented an
object to them, and rightly so,
since there are few who will
argue that the Hardin team
does not represent the best in
the state. The two teams play
ed Saturday in what was prob
ably one of the best played
games in these parts for many
a season. The Laurel boys put
to use all of the things they
had so faithfully practiced for
weeks. They came from behind,
in fact wore down a team that
for two years had worn down
opponents with their speed and
aggressiveness, and with but
four seconds left had a one
point lead. But it was not in
the books; Hardin came through
in a story book finish to win
the game.
eyes, it's hard to explain
Mondays game, but Saturday
night really was the climax and
a let-doWn, even a big let-down
was inevitable. There are no
excuses to be offered, we did
not get the breaks, and to en-,
terrain any thoughts that the
officials in any capacity had
anything to do with the final
outcome is only taking away
from both teams the credit due
the players for their excellent
performances"
After reading that comment,
we were very sorry indeed that
Laurel hadn't earned the right
to go to the state tournament
too. It is a bitter pill to sWal-
low, when your town has such a
meet and you haven't a team
to yell for.
We suggest that Hardin fans
who go to the state tourna-
ment let Coach AnderSon'S re-
marks gently brush any chips
from their shoulders which
might have been put there by
the behaviour of a very few
people from Laurel.
The Bulldogs are going to
meet stiff competition in the
state meet, and we want to go
on record right now as saying
that We think they are a fine
team, regardless of the out
come of the state tournament.
We don't like to hear local
fans talking about any game in
that tourney as a "cinch".
There will be no bad teams in
Laurel this weekend. We don't
think there is a team in the
state that plays better basket
ball than Hardin, but we are
handicapped by lack of height.

That Taylor Resolution

IHdt IdVoF RESOLUTION
WHEN the resolution calling for the ousting of Adj
ministrator Taylor failed to pass the Assembly, something
significant happened, At that moment it was shown clearly
that either we have not matured enough to handle our own
business properly, or that we are so inSincere that we distrust
ourselves. No other conclusion could be reached. in the height
of pressing problems all around having plunged into a dismal
and disgraceful pit from which we might not be able to pull
ourselves, we take time out to write a resolution about an Of
ficial, and then we squash it.
NOW let us look the matter in the face. There is no
doubt that Administrator Taylor has made errors, and many
of them. He has been accused of insincerity. He came With
the Pearson administration and that in itself is a point against
him. The resolution makes a few points including the inability
OF the people of St. Croix to express their free feelings in this
matter through economic fear. This is an extremely poor
point in the resolution. Administrator Taylor has been raked
over the Goals again and again. Every paper, including the
Avis, has taken him to task, and has spoken freely what it
thinks. Every speaker on every platform, political or other
wise, has lashed out at the Administrator. AT no time, under
no condition whatever, were the people of this island forbid
den to speak their minds.
FAILURE of the resolution is proof that it was untimely
and no doubt poorly drawn. Administrator Taylor will leave,
no doubt, when he has served the time required for his re-
tirement, and that may not be far off. In the meantime, he
can give the service required of his office. And while there
might be those who would give more vigorous service be-
cause OF youth, they, too, will quickly come in for a share of
the attack and the abuse which goes with every office in the
Virgin Islands, from Governor down.
H Legislature, in passing the resolution would have
accomplished little or nothing. That body has SO much be-
haved ike the shepherd boy who cried, wolf, vol" that Of
