We all like to buy things,
but some of us are better buy
ers than others. The good buy
ers get their moneys worth;
poor buyers do not. Of all the
selecting one can do it is more
important to choose our foods

A few people are forced to

MI OF COMMERCE DESERVE SUPPORT
HI ST. CROK CHAMBER of Commerce has been do
ing excellent work. During the past year it gave this island an
idea OF what can be done, and the place of such an organiza-
ton in the life of any community. Every progressive commun-
ity has its chamber of commerce with duties and responsible
tiles going all the way from publicity to politics. Chambers of
commerce make sure that the world knows of the community
in which they live, of its high points and advantages; they
work hard to attract business, the tourist trade, if that is ap-
propriate; and they take a most active part in everything the
community does.
HAVING MADE SUCH a good start, or revived its ac-
tivtieS, we look forward with keen interest to see bigger and
better things. Such an organization, comprised largely of bust
nessmen, and non-busineSs persons, could work out plans for
joint purchasing and distribution of essential commodities, 1t
could make its voice heard in Washington and elsewhere. 1t
can take the leadership in community projects such as a COM
munity center, and it could work out plans for helping to de-
velop the tourist trade. We can see, then, that the Chamber
of Commerce is almost indispensable to our business life here.
FORTUNATELY, Chamber has at it's helm Elder
Statesman Joseph Alexander, who is in a position to know the
needs of this island, having served in the Municipal Council
for over Is years, and having taken many of our problems to
Washington, where he knows his way around. Supporting him
are Attorney William Bill" Moorhead, the Chambers vice
president, jobs. Rasmussen, its executive secretary, whose un-
firing efforts are felt throughout the organization and else
where, and then there are the several committees and groups
within the Chamber. Last but not least is the membership
which, if it sticks together and backs its officers could Ger
tanly help to make the Chamber a moving force in the econo-
mic life of the island.
AT N N ALL cost the Chamber of Commerce
should remain on its feet, and carry on the work it has SO eff
fectively begun. Unfortunately for us we can turn to history
and point to countless organizations which made good starts,

but fell by the wayside. Let
this not happen to the St.
Croix Chamber of Commerce.
It has too significant a place
here, and by continuing to
work can give service of ines
Unable value.

West Will Try To
 Penetrate Russian Radio Interference

WASHING GTON, (P - The United States and Britain fired their opening guns Saturday in an unprecedented peacetime ra d i o war with Russia.
 In an attempt to smash through a Soviet noise blockade, they planned to use battery of 61 transmitters, all blasting at once, to hurl a barrage of Russian-lang- uage broadcasts in the direction of Moscow.
 Assistant secretary of State George V. Allen announced the campaign Friday.
 He said the state departments Voice of America programs would carry an announcement charging Russia with deliberate interfer- ence" which follows a pattern similar to the systematic tanning of shortWave broadcasts conducted by the Nazis during the war.
 Allen estimated that the Soviet radio has been using 60 transmit ters to block reception of Ameri- can and British shortWave broad casts in Russia. Up to now, the Voice has used no more than 10 transmitters to get through to the Russian people.
 The Soviet jamming started in earnest April 24-just before the first news of negotiations to end the Berlin blockade. The state de- ,partment charged that the timing was deliberately designed to keep the Russian people from hearing

Detroit Mayor Asks Plant and Strikers
 To Settle Strike

DETROIT, GP) - Acting Detroit Mayor George Edwards made per Sonal appeals to Henry Ford II and Walter Reuther today to try to settle the five-day strike of 65,- 900 Ford workers.
 Edwards, a former organizer for the CIO JAW, proposed three alternatives to the Ford Motor Co. president and Reuther, president of the JAW:

 Mediation of the speed up" dis pute by Detroit's ldbor-manage- ment- citizens committee. Both Ford and Reuther helped set up this group.
