BritOns Increase Profits Tax

LONDON (P) - Sir Stafford Cripps raised Britain's profits tax by one-fifth yesterday to offset the inflationary effect of cheapen- ing the pound.
 The tax on the profits now is 25 per cent. Cripps told the House of Commons he is increasing it "as from today" to 30 per cent.
 At the same time Cripps re- peated his stand that personal in comes, including those from wages must stay at present levels.
 The chancellor of the exchequer also warned British business men:
 'If there is any further break ing away from the voluntary linn itation of dividends l shall con- slider myself at liberty to introduce legislation to restrict dividends in the next finance bill"
 Cripps opened the crucial de- bate in the House of Commons or the devaluation of the pound. He was fortified by a Labor Party caucus which informants said, de cided to stand behind the govern ment on the currency issue.
 A treasury spokesman saic CrippS has authority to raise thu tax on business and industrial pro fits at once. Late. the spokesman said, the chancellor presumabl, will submit some sort of fOrma motion asking House of Common approval, which would be virtual ly automatic in view of the heavy Labor majority.
 Informed observers say the ac tions as a sop to rank and file la bor which has been complaining that the little people will suffe most from the cheapening of tn, pound from $4.03 to S2.08.
 The trades union congress ha been insisting that even a sligh rise in the cost of living would prove unbearable to the lowe paid British workers. The TUG : has not yet given the government of which it is the most powerful pillar, its public support on the de valuation policy.

Chinese Province Turns Communist
By Spencer Moosel

CANTON, (P)-The vast north western province of Sinkiang, which fronts on the Russian bor- der, was reported reliably today to have gone over to the commun- ists.
 Tihwa, political center of the sparsely peopled but rich pro- vince. has been out of radio con- tact with Canton for two days. That fact added weight to the re- port all nationalist officials had pulle dout of TihWa into southern Sinkinag.
 An informant said he assumed Chinese communists had taken over control of strategic centers throughout the northern part of Sinkiang, at least. He also sup posed that Gen. Chang China chung, turncoat nationalist who formerly was commissioner for the northwest, had manipulated the surrender of Sinkiang to the communiS stWhom he had been courting. He was last reported in Peiping where he went months ago as a "peace emissary" to the communists.
 With an immense treasure of natural resources Sinkiang once was known as Chinese Turkestan. It has been an historic area of Russia augmentation.

ANS Planning Better Homes For King Islanders

Don Foster, head of the ANS in Alaska, who is in Nome awaiting the arrival of the North Star from Nunivak Island, has announced that his department has arranged for the purchase of ten quonset huts from the U. S. surplus officer, Sid Rood. which will be given to the King Islanders for their sum- mer homes here.
 Elmo Miller local agent for the ANS will be in charge of moving the buildings and setting them up in the King Island Village between now and spring when the natives return to Nome. Local labor will be used.
 Each hut will be made into quarters for two families and the buildings will be set up in an or derly manner with provision made for better sanitation than now ex- istS.
 Mir. Foster stated that his de- partment is working for Federal aid for public schools and that 1t is the opinion of the department that with the increasing popula- ton the demand for this aid is fully justifiable and an outstand- ing need exists.
 The White Mountain school is to be improved to the extent that all new concrete buildings are planned for construction which starts in the spring. The school will be able to then care for 270 pupils from the first to the tenth grades. The new set-up, he stated, will be on a unit basis for dormi- tories with seven units of 40 stu dents each and a teaching staff of about 20 teachers.
 Vocational training will be stressed.
 The department has already al located $375,00 for the project and another million to complete it is in contracts.
 This school, like Mt. Edge cumbe, is for the native children who do not have to pay anything toward their care. board or schooling. It is urged that they provide transportation if possible

 Charley found out that flag pole sitting can be profitable, even when you lose. He had vowed to stay aloft on his perch over his delicatessen until the Indians reached first place.
 He guessed wrong but managed to shatter the old pole sitting mark of 72 days. The Tribe gave him numerous presents, anyway, at the ceremony, including:
 A new Pontiac sedan; bicycles for daughters Margaret, 6, and Mi toilette, 10; tricycle. for son Carl, 8; a stroller for Charley, Jr., one month.
 A radio, a stove and an old fash toned bath tub, and a 50-foot flag pole.

Education based on the needs of Our Community"
JAc1Nro pADRoN
MI. Chairman, Administrator for St. croix, Members of the School
Board, Mesdanes Supt. and Ass. Supt. of Education, Honored
Guests, Principal and Members of the Faculty, Fellow Classmates,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Tonight we are all gathered here for a common purpose. AS it has
been customary for the past wears our High School takes oraa and
wen-earned pleasure in presenting to the people of St. Croix, through
commencement exercises, the products of twelve years of free for
NAL education.
Tomorrow, l shall find myself no longer a high school student,
depending upon others to provide for and to give me an eaucahnn
but one of those who are somewhat responsible for the education of
posterity. Because of my profound awareness of such a fact 1 would
like you to think with me along a particular trend which I have
chosen as my topic for tonight: Education Based On The Needs Of
Our Community.
AS your eyes glance from one senior to another, you may be able
tot pick out a limited few, who by the grace of good fortune, will
soon be leaving our shores to continue their studies toward one Of
the higher professions. The rest Of us, no doubt, comprising the major
ity, either may not be in a position to continue our studies, or per
haps simply do not care to enter a university at this time. AS our in
-situtioh of higher, learning we have selected St. Croix, our working
and living community.
The problem which now confronts us is, what type of work are we
properly prepared to perform? Or rather, has our high school career
adequately prepared us to fit into our community? In ST. Croix the
commercial students may eventually be employed in one of the To-
cal offices. But can the remaining majority of those students who
who have taken academic courses and who cannot plan for their fu-
ture because of some conditions over which they have no control,
and who have to remain in St. Croix, be prepared for their future
life?
/ vii. not endeavor to answer these questions at this time. It IS my
desire that you too, will leave with the same questions on your minds
and then resolve to concentrate your efforts to such an extent that
your sons and daughters in years to come will step from High School
into the community of ST. Croix without this great problem Of life
weighing heavily upon their youthful shoulders.
In some of the larger communities the youths of high school age
are in aposiion to select from many types of high schools depending
upon their goals to be achieved in life. Since ST. Croix cannot afford
several types of high schools, then we should strive to afford one
When / say a school with a varied program, Imean that our school
should be completely and modernly equipped SO that students will
become interested in a life vocation, with trades such as carpentry,
auto-nechancs, agriculture, electricity, plumbing, black-smithing,

OtIleTS 0epenolng upon the Partl-
cular needs of our community. At
the same time we should continue
our Commercial courses and in
clude in the Academic courses
such subjects as music, art. and
other cultural subjects. Physical
education should also be added &
made compulsory for all students
whose health permits it.
The advantages of having such
courses in our school is that they
will be of great help to those who
maybe deeply inclined to follow
any of these particular fields, The
courses will not only offer a good
and early beginning but viii also
tend to stimulate and keep the
students interest. With the know
ledge thus received the students
will be better equipped to face the.
p1OD1GIllS Ol 11IG.
Education is the best means of
perpetuating, through the youth,
the standards and principles by
which we live. 1t is one of the.
chief aims of education to lead us
progressively into ever widening
and deepening experiences, and
also to live an increasingly rich
and worthy life. In every form of
human society known to exist, ed
ucation is one of the greatest con-
Germs of the community. In St.
Croix, it is true that our Govern
ment is usually not in a position to
finance all our needs; but never
theless we have progressed to a
marked degree, not only in the
field of education, but in many
other fields. Today we should be-
come aware of the fact that St.
Croix is no longer the backward
country it used to be. There are
evidences of progress being devel-
oped in several fields and our
scholastic ambassadors abroad
carried the Virgin Islands banner
high and wide.
: Diverging a little at this time, l
would like to dwell upon one of
the subjects before mentioned. The
subject creates a problem of vital
Importance and / firmly believe
that our High School should be
placed in a position to 1do some
thing to stimulate greater interest
in this vocation. I term the prob
lem "the lack of agriculture con-
sciousness". In less progressive
communities, with less favorable
conditions, and with the right a.
mount of interest some people
have made agriculture a prosper

harm anyone, it is only the con-
slant worry over the work which
is sometimes harmful.
At times we try to cloud ON
dislike for agriculture by COM
planning about bad weather and
soil, but we know scientifically
that even hat is not sufficient
reason to discourage the occupa-
ton In our Island. We usually al
ways have a good season for
growing vegetables and fruits.
During this time we should be abb
lie to grow all vegetables we need.
We should be quite aware of the
TACT that there is always a con-
slant demand for fresh vegetables
and fruits both here and in ST.
Thomas. In order to satisfy this
demand great quantities of these
products of the soil have to be i'm.
ported from the neighboring is
lands. We have unconsciously civ
en- the other islands a profitable
livelihood when we ourselves need
one here SO very badly. If we were
wise such condition would never
exist,
By providing the proper scien-
title course in agriculture. in the
high school, we may even be alb
le to stimulate other industries
from neglected crops. Irish pota-
toes and peanuts can be grown
IN certain sections of the Islands.
Cocoa bean, used in making cho-
colate and other candies, should
thrive very easily in St. Croix.
ChufaS, a recommended food for
swine; corn and sorghum, well
known poultry foods; and the
pineapple, which we import in
tins in the natural state, will grow
IN St. Croix. Why should we i'm
port all those things mentioned
When we can produce them our
selves? If we were to have agri-
culture in school with modern i'm
plements of farming instead of
sticking a fork and a rake before
the young ones, we will eventual
ly show that the school can play a
vital part in solving some of the
economic problems of this COM
munity. May / solicit your ser
ious thought along these lines?
Now Fellow Classmates, at this
time, ] would like to impress up-
on you the necessity of choosing
an ideal, then setting your sails
remembering the words of Ella
WheelerWilcox:
Zone ship sails East
Another sails West
Both by the self-same wind

The runabout child demands
more attention from his mother
than she can we'll give him. He
is at the stage where he finds
the world delightful place
where anything may happen and
does.
He discovers something new.
and something new to do, about
every quarter hour and, because
he has no sense of danger, must
be watched and guided. His
mother cannot keep up to him
all day long. No grown person
can. The only thing to do is to
try to teach him to keep safe
after trying to make his environ
ment as safe as possible.
No matches are to be left about.
No toys are to be left on stairs
or porch steps or walks. He is
not allowed in the kitchen when
pots are boiling and kettles
steaming. That is the time he is
to stay in his safe. protected
place playing by himself. This.
too, demands arrangement and
supervision. How to do that is
what bothers mothers.
One mother did this: The gar
den and lawn met the sidewalk
and the sidewalk met the road
side. The runabout was going to
have to play in that unprotected
space. His mother arranged her
work so that she would be free
