own life.

He wants adult male suffrage, later

BARRISTER EARNS
POPULARITY

The following interesting article
appeared in the Nassau Tribune.
London, Dec. IA boy who once
that he would come to England and
dreamed on his grandfather's knee
become a barrister has now achieved
his lifetime ambition by being call
ed to the English Bar. He is today
31-year-old Gerald c. Cash Of Mas
sau, Bahamas who is leaving Eng
land for home on December 2.
For two and a nalf years Gerald
Cash has lived at the cosmopolitan
International Language Club, Croy-
don with students from more than
fifty countries. There he has taken
part in the Clubs work of educat-
ting English people to the life Of
colonials and winning sympathy and
understanding for the problems fac
ing the Bahamas.
The Christmas number of the Club
Magazine, 1.-THE International News
pays tribute to Gerald Cash as "a
valuable Ambassador of goodwill
in an article devoted to the Charles
Boyer of the Bahamas" - Cash's
unofficial title. The magazine refers
to his disarming smile and genial
twinkle in the eye "as potnet wea-
pons that" gave him immunity from
misunderstanding and a swift entry
to peoples hearts
Gerald Cash realized, perhaps
more than most of us" the article
continues that the best way to
create understanding for his people
in Britain is to go out and meet
English men and women, accept in
vitations to dances and social gath
erings and be willing to show a gen
uine interest in everyone" Cash is
reported to have said: Il found II
hard to break the ice at first, but
once 1 got to know them I found
English people among the most
friendly and warm-hearted in the
world" His sincerity and charm won
him the friendship of men and wO-
men in every section of the CON-
munity from the Mayor of Croy-
DON Alderman and Councillor to
business men and shopkeepers, in
fact of everyone who met and talk
ed to him.
Cash devoted much of his spare
time to talking about the Bahamas
to local Societies and Youth Clubs
in Croydon and London. 1t is duty

he shared voluntarily with many
other West Indians living at the In
ternationaf Language Club. In ten
mis- and table tennis he proved a
worthy representative of Nassau in
matches with local Clubs. Where
ever he went in Britain Cash empha-
sized that the British West Indian
Colonies are making very rapid
strides towards federation and
eventual independence inside the
British Commonwealth.
