WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE L INDUSTRY
EVERY NEW INDUSTRY which makes it appearance in
St. Croix has some definite value, and makes a contribution,
regardless of how small. One Of the most serious problems
facing this island, and the entire group, is lack Of opportunity,
which shows itself in the grave economic and social factors,
resulting in almost wholesale immigration. There was a
time when St. Crox had a population of 10000 or more. To
day we have dwindled down to a mere $4,000.
ANEW INDUSTRY which has put in its appearance is
the manufacture of jewery and ornaments. Not long ago
Stuart Leech opened a novelty store in Company Street, and
tor all we knew, was going to be Just one more novelty store
one which imported, and resoId, retail. But more is being
done. MI. Leech caught an idea and is making it work, as a
result of which local boys and artisans are given an oppor-
tunity not only to work, but to become more skilled in an art
which may be productive of good things. Then, too, there is
the opportunity for expression and creative genius which or
dinarily would 60 unnotced.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY that this business, enlarged
and developed, might attract attention from sources on the
mainland, and become a factor in the economic life of this
Island. Not only will tourists make more extensive purchases
here, but the business may be developed to include consider
able experts Here in St. Croix we have been tempted to look
with disinterest upon the little things, but they are often the
ones which grow to proportions, and produce exactly the de-
sired results. Outside of the sugar industry, it is rather un-
likely that we could engage in any large-scale production,
for we neither have the capital, nor the raw materials. 1t will
therefore, have to be the responsibility of the small indus
tries, taken together, to help pull us out of the constant eco
nomic hole in which we find ourselves.
IT MAY BE THAT after all is said and done we might
have to turn to such little things as guava and other preserves,
expectation of fruits and vegetables, small metal art work, and
the industries which can be carried on by a few at a time,
and with only nominal capital outlay. Let us therefore be con-

from Liverpool by way of the

And it looks as though they
are likely to stay in Key West.
When five year old Clyde was
asked by the officiating priest
during his Baptism if he would
like to go to Heaven, he prompt

behaved beautifully in the exor-
cism and baptismal rites.
They shed as much as possible
of the angelic trappings when

tism was over. Along with their
little guests, Peggy and Roberta
Hutchcraft, Michael Dawn Du-
bree. Cookie Love and Ellen Kup-
per, they frolicked about with
their Easter baskets of real and
candy eggs and Dummies and ate
as much as they could hold of
the wonderful Easter cake, ice
cream and candy provided by
their uncle Albert.

Crist Mill
By REP. GEORGE sMATHEns

=
. Last Thursday, April IA, was
by resolution of the Congress of
the United States, designated as
Pan-American Day.
In the words of G. v. Allen, AS
sistant Secretary of State, PAN
American Day is an occasion on
which we celebrate friendship
among nations-not friendship as
an ideal only, but friendship as
an accomplished fact among 81
sovereign states" This solidarity
speaks well for a peaceful and
prosperous future for this hemis-
phere.
The part which South Florida
has played in fostering this
friendship is deserving of recog-
milton and commentator. No
other city in the United States is
each year host to so many of our
( atinsAmeEican friends as in Mi
ami. It has warmly and generous
.ly welcomed these visitors to our
country and has on almost every
instance given the Latin Ameri-
cans favorable impression of the
United States. m
Z In March of last year, Miami In
ternational Airport handled 49,
557 international air passengers
as compared to New York City's
25,606; 63.26 per, cent of the pass
engers travelling between the
United States and the West In
dies, Central and South Ameri-
ca in the years l941 through 1916
left or entered the United States
at Miami. Many of those passen-
gers were Latin Americans who
went no further north than South
Florida, SO that their opinions of
our people were formed and bas-
ed on their experiences there.
In a. speech on the Floor of the
House last Thursday told my
Congressional colleagues that
was proud, as can the nation, that
the reception given these Latin
American visitors by my home
district certainly has done much
to stimulate and increase travel
and trade between this country
and our neighhorS to the south.
