ever there is a task to be done,
whether it be at home, in the
school, or in the community, let
us all help, with love in our hearts
and not envy and malice.
There is need for cooperation
in communities; we are concerned
with ours of st. Croix. If the peo-
pie of ST. Croix would work to-
gether as one group, in n place,
not as the people of Christiansted
or the people of Frederiksted-
craving all for themselves-the
island would progress. AS it is
now, st. Croix a not progress.
There is not enough cooperation
in our island. If there were, the
work of our societies and organi-
cations would be- more effective.
Cooperation is essential in
every home, community or state.
It is the binding factor that brings
together the power of individuals
for a common purpose. 1t also
binds nations together as seer in
the many alliances of the past &
theUnited Nations of the present.
It binds the masses of the people
in vast labor organizations, which
in turn, have by the power of con
certed action, secured for it's mem
bers better salaries, and better
! working and living conditions.
Cooperation is essential, finally,
in the maintenance of world
peace. It us perhaps not too much
to say that without cooperation
there will be no better st. Croix,
no brave-new-world- of Tomorrow.

MI. Chairman, Administrator

of Education, Madame Supervis-
or of Education, Hnored Guests,
Fellow Classmates, Ladies and
Gentlemen: My topic tonight is
Cooperation.
From our earliest infancy we
are taught to live with each other
in the world as one great happy
family. We are also taught to love
one another. A democratic edu-
cation is a process whereby we
are taught to share our lives and
our fortunes with each other; to
give the less fortunate man a
chance and thereby help him on
through life.
We are taught the Christian
concert of brotherhood which
simply means sharing of your
neighbor's sorrows as well as his
JOYS: to be a friend to him not
only when he is prosperous. hap
pv and joyful; but also when he
is sorroWing; to-comfort and cheer
him and give. him a kind word
and help him in every way you
possibly can, to bring him back
to prosperity and happiness. For,
it is mot what we give, but what
we share

self is sure to fall; so also a ma

small group in the home; the IA
mily. That, too, will surely fall if
it be divided. We must all cooper
ate to make a better St. Croix.
We know that if two persons of
equal strength each pull in an
opposite direction nothing will be
accomplished. But when they
unite and pull in the same direc-
ton the task is soon accomplish
ed.
Cooperation is needed every
where. In the home the children
must cooperate with their parents
or guardians in order to have
unity in the home. In school CO.
operation is also needed. The stu
dents must cooperate with the
teachers in order to have a good
and cultured school. Cooperation
is not only what we give but what
we share; for giving, in itself
alone, is not sharing; we share
when we give with a loving

CHRIST DESTROYS SIN.
Sin is an unpopular word to-
day--and a very POPULAR thing!
Like its products disease and
death, it is universal, and is
much more serious, because it
involves guilt before God.
God is light: as light does
away with darkness, SO Gods
holy presence must destroy sin
But what of the sinner? Must
he perish? One method of get
ting rid of bananasdisease is
to dig out the wRele infected
stool and burn it: Ultimately
this method will haye to be
applied in human affairs: HE
will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire
But, Gods marvellous love
prefers a much better method
for all those who will accept
it; the way Of. atonement

SEATTLE, (P)-Mayor John A. Talbot of Ketchikan sailed for home Saturday after a three-week tour of the Orient as a guest of secretary of the treasury Snyder.
 The party visited numerous Japanese cities, Hong Kong, Homo lulu and Wake Island. Talbot join ed the group in Alaska for the flight westward via the Aleutians.
 Talbot said one of the highlights Of the trip, was a dinner given by Gen. Douglas Macarthur at Tok- yo. After an inspection of several cities, including Hiroshima, Tal- bot was impressed with the feel ing of admiration he found among the Japanese for MacArthur's ad- ministration of the islands.
 In the Philippines secretary Snyder's party came within gun shot of the civil war.
 Talbot told how he got to go along on the trip with the cabinet member because of a trick of the weather. Talbot had flown to An nette Island to greet Snyder and Rear Adm. Merlin O'NeilI. com mandant of the coast guard. The weather kept him from flying back to Ketchikan. Snyder invited him to fly on to Juneau and then extended an invitation for the Orient flight.
