show that spirit; as newcomers
come in who actually show a dis
position or an interest to work
with the native population of St.
Croix to make a better place, do
your part to extend the hand of
fellowship to them. Dc your part
to work with them, to take the
advantage of any knowledge and
skill and energy that they have;
any new ideas that they have, so
that this can be one whole popu-
lation. Whether the person was
born here, whether he came here
when he was five years old or Is,
or 50years old. Think of yourselves
all as Crucians concerned with
the future of the island in which.
you live, the place that you love,
the place that you accept to con-
tinue to make your home.
At the same time one of the
things that I am proud of in my
administration, one of the things
that / am sure will continue, will
be that an increasing number of
Virgin Islanders are taking over
the responsibility of j important
positions in our government. l
think in my last report I pointed
out that of the % top positions in
this government II or13 were oc-
cupied by Virgin Islanders (heavy
applause).
I challenge anyone to go the
length and breadth of the West
Indies to any dependent places,
as call over the world, and find
any community that will be any
better and very few as good, any
the percentage of local people who
are doing the job of running the
government; of making self gov
eminent work. And l think this
in the place to say that; / hope /
have said it in other places and l
, 1949-11-25

shall say it here. l hope that with
my leaving we may see the next
step. 1t is a very important step.
In this matter of Virgin Islanders
taking the lead in making their
own community and their own
government work we'll, and that is
the appointment of a Virgin Is
lander to be Governor of the Vir-
gin Islands. prolonged a~pplause).
That is coming, it is bound to
come. / have one thought; it might
as we'll come now. Good things
need not be postponed indefinite
ly and l believe it is a good thing
for any community to have it's
leaders come from that commu-
nifty. Now that involves some
thing else. 1t is not enough that
a person be a Virgin Islander. I
do not care what the job is that
he holds. May be he is working as
a laborer, may be he is a clerk,
may be he is working as a mec-
hanlc, may be he is working as
the Governor of the Virgin Is
lands. It is important that he be
a good man in the job that he is
doing; and I hope that we will
never get to the point where we
lose sight of that. I do not want
a secondhand carpenter, just be-
cause he happens to be a native.
1t / want my house built l want
a good carpenter to do the Job,
and if / can get a native who is a
good man I will get him. If l can
not get a native who is a good
workman then l get somebody
else who is a good carpenter. And
| think we should take the same
position in reference to our Gov
ernor.
We want first and foremost
good and able men to do the Jobs
in government. They are hard Jobs

wanting good men and women,
people of ability who will work.
1t certainly is the normal aspira-
ton of any community and it is
a logical step of any community
that the people who live and make
their homes in that community
and know the problems of the
community, should be the people
to take on leadership of govern
ment. That has already been done
in the neighboring island of Puer-
to Rico. / know the time is not
far off that it will happen in the
Virgin Islands. Whether it will
happen when l leave I do not
know; but l did express the be-
lief that the time is now for that
change and | hope that my belief
and the wish that I have and I
know that 81 many of you have
may be realized at this time.
Yes, I think that the time is
ahead and not far ahead, that
many of our hopes and dreams
for the future of these islands will
be realized. We should never be
satisfied with what we have ac-
complished and at the same time
I think we have no reason to be
discouraged because of the things
that we have not accomplished
There is a great deal more that
we are getting done from day to
day just as we'll as there is a great
deal that is ahead of us tomorrow
and for the days to come. So I
leave you with a spirit of hope
and optimism as far as the future
just when l came to you in my
original inaugural speech in ex-
pressing my hope and optimism
for the future of these islands.

are things, that r new and NOV
ing forward that we want to look
to. I have often thought as / will
continue to think what do you
want the Virgin Islands to be like
in the years ahead? What things
do we want in our community?
One thing l think we want to keep
many many people living on the

ing old style of agriculture where
a mar or a woman wears out his
Or her body in years and years of
hard labor with little reward for
it. Modern agriculture is not what
your fathers and grandfathers la
bored through. Modern agricul-
ture is one of the highest of call
ings. Yes, in many places it is}be-
coming one of the very profitable
callings in the world. Nothing is
more distressing as far as these is

that we have had more and more
people getting away fromthe land
But it leavesone thing that l hope
and believe that the Virgin Islands
Company, the Department of Agri
culture, if it comes in, as we hope
it will, the leaders of your COM
munity can and will do, and that
is to build the modern agricul-
ture for this community, a type
of work that will be rewarding
and a type Of work that people
can do with a reasonable effort
and yet not destroy their bodies
and their strength the way the
old -styoe agriculture has forced
men and women to do. / hope and
believe that the future of this com
munity does involve the develop
ment of modern agriculture for a
large number of the inhabitants
of the islands.
Yes, of course, in talkingSof the
future of the Virgin Islands, one

of the Virgin Islands as a place
where visitors come, a place where
tourists come not only in the win

in other seasons as well. This is

the conditions and about the dan
gers of a growing tourism in this

That does not have to be. / do

DIZZY" and

The six or seven hundred

Saturday night in the State Arm
DRY Of Dizzy" Gillespie went
there presumably to hear the
music. The dancers were few,
most of the gathering stood
around the stage and drank in
the new "Be-Bop" style of har-
mony. They evidently were sat
isfed for they stood, some Of
them the whole three and three
quarter hours of the show. And
it certainly was interesting. The
Guardian representative stood
with the rest, Dizzy, a genial
handsome guy, directed, played
half dozen instruments and
greeted the fans who hailed him
from the floor. He directs with
consumate ease, stepping nimbly
about the stage with elaboration
and grace.
1t was a very good looking
group, well dressed and we'll
hammered. They all had paid
$3.50 a throw. Not enough to
fill the Golfers of the promoters,
but enough to leave an encour-
aging margin. Outside the en-
trance were another couple hun
dred who perhaps were not so
orderly yet with grace enough
to be quiet.
