St.. Croix Civil Group
Nominates Alexander
For Governor Of v. |.

During the course of a mass
meeting held from the band
stand last, a resolution was
read in which Joseph Alexan-
der, former member of the
Municipal Council, was nomi-
mated for Governor of the Viz
gin Islands. The document was
read by Eric Carroll, who said
that the nominee was not con-
suited but that it would be
taken to him today for COM
ment, after which further ac-
ton would be taken.
Mr.. Carroll lauded the work
of Mr.. Alexander pointing to
the fact that he was repeated
~ called on in the past to go
to Washington to help secure
funds from Congress for the
Islands.
The Hon. Elmo Jacobs also
spoke and made it clear that
ne had no desire to criticize
his fellows but that he felt
the st. Thomas. Councilmen
invited the st. Croix members
Tor one thing and when they
got there virtually forced
the resolution upon them. He
refused then not because he
had anything against their ia
vorite but he felt the people
should have been consulted
first.
Asked his reaction to the re-
solution, Mr.. Alexander said

MESSIAH CHOIR GIVING CONCERT
 ON NEXT SUNDAY

The Messiah choir of over SC voices is doing the final practices for the presenting of the sacred music next Sunday afternoon at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Solosists will be soprano section Mary Berne Ehler and Frances Paul; alto section; Mildred Lister and Lois Reedy; tenor section, Ern- est Ehler; Bass, Harold Salisbury. Accompanies are Isabel Chester and Ruth Popejoy.
 Much appreciation is due those who are contributing services to make this a successful community chorus. The 20th Century Theatre is donated by the the management for the occasion. Posters have been made and donated by Harold Sails bury. The Rev. Beyer is donating the mimeographing of programs, and the paper is given by Burford's $ Store. The piano is the loan of Ug- gems Alaska Music House.
 The Methodist and Presbyterian choirs have each purchased 25 cop ies of the music of the entire Mes siah score, to form the nucleus of further renditions of the master piece.
 The Rainbow girls will usher on Sunday afterroc1,.
 It is tribute to the universality of the Messiah that it is being given this year by volunteers from many faiths. The traditional Christ mas music appeals to young and old alike. When heard for the first time, it is exciting and thrilling. But the more often it is presented, the deeper is the appreciation felt toward it's misrepresentation of the life of Christ.
 The music committee of the Meth odist Church has been the spon- soring group to get the choir start ed. A collection will be taken at the theatre, the proceeds over eX- penses to be used towards the developing of a community chorus
 The committee in charge of ar engagements is Lauris Parker, Hen " Lorenzen, Major Newbould the Rev. Morgan, Katherine Alexander, and Alice Strombeck Mrs. Jane McMullin is director.

CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT ANSWERS ALARMS FOUR
 TIMES OVER WEEKEND

Tn Juneau Fire Department an swered three alarms over the week end, and also extinguished a small blaze in a Dixon Street residence this morning.
 A one-four alarm Saturday evs- ming brought the firemen to the Sugar Bowl Found Lunch on South Franklin Street where an over flowing pan of grease in the oven had gone afire. The blaze was con- fined to the oven, and there was little damage done.
 Answering a five-three alarm Sunday afternoon, the fire de- partment rushed to the small boat harbor. A resident who lives on the hill above the harbor reported fire at the harbor. But firemen found that the blaze had been started in a dump-truck bed to thaw out frozen gravel.
 A four-nine alarm at Il o'clock last night took the fire department to Jays Super Service on Will loughby Avenue, where leaking welding equipment threatened to do damage. Bremen reported that DO damage was done. All clear was sounded fifteen minutes after the first alarm.
 Fire Chief A. Minard Mill and Firetruck Driver Lars Sorensen went to 816 Dixon Street early this morning where they extinguished a blaze under the floor in front of the fireplace. Some damage had been done to the floor and the beams under it by the fire, which apparently had smoldered all night. No alarm was sounded, however.

belong to gymnastic groups and
look forward to the weekly phys
ical training hour as relaxation
from household work and worries.
They pay special attention to
exercises for strengthening the
back and feet, conditioning the
washing-up muscles. Next sum-
mer 5000 of these muscular
mothers will give a giant demon
stration of physical exercises at
Stockholm as part Of the great
gymnastic display known as the

Drying Out Fresh Plaster
by Roger c. Whitman

QUESTION: Is there a way Of
drying out plaster and Keene's
cement Gin bathroom) quickly,
so that we can paint the walls Of
new rooms? We were advised to
wait three to six months, but we
need to hurry this if at all possible.
ANSWER: You can help to some
extent with portable stoves, but I
would not advise you to apply an
oil paint under two months, three
to six months will not be neces-
sary. If you wish to cover the
walls in hurry, you can put ON a
reSin-base, water-emulsion paint.
This, however, is not intended for
either a bathroom or a kitchen, as
the surface is not glossy enough.
But it may serve your purpose for
a couple of msnths. You then can
put on a varnish-size and when
dry, apply two coats enamel
undercoater and a finish coat Of
enamel.

Spraying dairy cattle is a big
Job for farmers, but it will help
build the type of clean, "con-
tented" dairy herds such as
that shown here.
manner: You can get IS per cent
more milk up to September if you
spray. This has been demonstrated
by careful small-scale field tests.
1t is generally estimated that the
average COW will give 100 pounds
of milk during the four-month fly
season. A 10 per cent boost - in
stead of is per cent - would mean
ITO pounds of milk for that time.
For a 15-cow herd, that would mean
1850 pounds of extra milk from
fly-control.
Figured conservatively at So
hundredweight, that's just under
SIS more in milk checks. And it
costs only about 20 or Is cents
head for spraying.
Petty recommends spraying the
inside of dairy barns two or three
times during the summer. He sug-
gests that the formula used provide
for one pound of so per cent me-
thoxychlor-wettable powder in two
to four gallons of water to every
1000 square feet of surface.
Dairy cattle should be sprayed
with methoxychlor every two to
four weeks to control horn flies.
The formula is one-half pound of
30 per cent powder in three gallons
of water and apply one quart to
each COW.

Historic Room
IN WASHINGTON


WITHIN the hallowed confines Of
w of the old supreme court room
where more than century and a
quarter ago the United States SEN
ate of the young republic met with
only "a members, the living SEN
ate today is again in session.
From 1910 to 1859 the United
States senate debated the principles
upon which our government is
founded and the spirit and heri-
tage left by those early-day states
men still cling to the somewhat
musty atmosphere of the small
Bemi-circular room where SO sem
ators are packed and damned to-
gether with rs members of the
working press and the necessary
senate clerks. ..
The historic room where for 70
years after 1859 the United States
supreme court wrote. the law of
the land until it moved into its new
building in 1885, with its original
paintings and fixtures restored
after burning by the British in
1914, is still reminiscent of those
early days.
Unfortunately today there
are no Daniel Websters, or
Henry Clays or JOHN C. Cal
houns. 1t was here that Web
ster trumpeted, Liberty and
Union, now and forever, one
and inseparable." 1t was here
that the Monroe Doctrine was
first proclaimed.
Unfortunately today there are no
ringing patriotic declarations, but
rather there is 4vasion of respon-
Iibility and the constitutional au-
thority of the United States senate.
For whatever may be the final out
come, it is here that the United
States living senate is on record
formally to surrender the congress
sional purse strings of the govern
ment to the chief executive. For
1t is here that 81 senators, "a
Democrats and 81 Republicans,
representing 40 of the 48 states
signed petition urging the major
ity leader to bring out of committee
the resolution which passes on to
the President the responsibility of
slashing all appropriations Gin the
aggregate equal not less than five
per cent nor more than ten per cent
of the total amount estimated in
the budget"
This is a most fragrant evasion
Of the constitutional perogative of
congressional power. Said Senator
O'Mahoney of Wyoming: "This
bill, if it should be enacted, would
hand over to the executive the COM
plete power to cut the appropria-
tons which only the congress is
supposed to make in the first
instance"
