REPORT

cultivation and improvements
OF the native oyster are slight.
The introduction of a new oy-
ster to the region, with proper
oyster-farming practices, may
prove to be at least a partial
solution. It should be borne in
mind that the industry result
ing could not be a large one.
for the few areas suited for the
growing of oysters limit the
opportunities for expansion.
There is a good possibility,
however, that, with proper
utilization of these few areas,
there could be developed an
industry that would adequate
ly supply the markets Of the
Virgin Islands"
From our survey of the wa
tiers Of the Virgin Islands, we
believe that experimental oy-
ster paintings can be made
best in Mangrove Lagoon and
Benner Bay on st. Thomas &
in Salt River in st. Croix."

lGAL ESd41I1S 49, 0U"0
The Bible speaks of different
grades of Joy. David said, l will
go unto God My exceeding joy;;'
.Nehmiah speaks of 'the Joy of
the Lord which he says is your
strength. This joy is like a heav-
emily tonic, it is the state for the
Soul to live and thrive in. This
heavenly wine-like blessing which
comes rushing into the soul, seems
to quicken all those dormant ia
culties of the Soul and mind into
new life and power, until one
stands transfigured before His
own eyes. More and msre we are
convinced it is not human elo-
quence, logic or wit that will con-
vince the world and strike ter
ror to. the heart of the unsaved.
We will never conquer with these
Things. Our strength and victory
r found in the joy of the Lord.
When Jesus comes into our hearts
the Devil goes out, then that
peace, and Joy that the world can
not give comes in and floods our
soul. Solomon's glory was put on
from without. Real beauty is the
manifestation of the life that un-
folds from within. A soul well
planted in the soil of Gods grace
will carry itself in the beauty of
holy living. When real joy comes
in, men and women are intoxicat-
ed with the love of God. They
have shining faces, sparkling
eye, liberated tongues, not born
of this earth but sent down from
heaven.

CORRESPONDENCE
!. A ST. Thomian's View Of
Alexander Hamilton Field

We are often told that first
impressions are important &
lasting and if that is true then
the visitors first impression
of St, Croix is better than his
first impression of St. Thomas,
judging from plane terminal
looks and facilities.
An excellent job has been
done in St. Croix at the ter
minal and the traveller, as we
were, is bound to be impress
ed at the clean and neat ter
minal building and facilities
We cant say that for St. Tho
mas inasmuch as the hangar
terminal facilities there
leave much to- be desir-
ed The dirty, dusty hanger
with its makeshift accommo-
dations for the tourist cannot
fail to impress unfavorably.
Much needs to be done and al
though it has been promised
no move has been made to
bring the promises into frui-
ton.
Cruzan business interests
should be concerned with con-
ditions in St. Thomas because
the traveller must first see st.
Thomas before St. Croix and
the St. Thomas terminal won't
win friends for anyone.
We anticipate the answer
that funds aren't available.
True perhaps as to large
amounts, but certainly enough
can be found for some attract
i've window dressing, some
comfortable chairs, efficient
cleaning service, and a friend
ly c sign that will
help blind the critical eye to
THE many DEFICIENCIES.
Sugar coating goes a long
way in making unpleasant
tasting medicine palatable, &
decorations and paint will help
the st. Thomas terminal un-
til lasting and worthwhile al
terations can be made.

Jim Amin of Columbus, ma
tional vice commander, gave an
interesting review of the Ma
tional Convention, at which
Americanism was the principle
theme.
An outstanding address was
given by state commander Vic
Overcast of Cut Bank. Com
mander Overcast stressed the
need of unification of Armed
forces and the need for inves-
tigation, exposing and convic-
ton of subVersive elements in
America. He stated that there
are 80 thousand card-carrying
communists in the United
States, and Montana, with it's
vast deposits of strategic ma
terials, it's electrical power and
industrial potentiality, is with
out a doubt infested with a
few of these 80 thousand Com
munists and fellow travellers.
After the business meeting,
which lasted from 2 to 5 r. M,
a parade was held, at which
the Hardin high school band,
the Billings drum and bugle
corps, legion posts and dele

Senate Will Not Sign Treaty to Send U. s. Into War
By Jack BelD

WASHINGTON, (Ao) - Senator Hickenlooper R.-IoWa) said today the United States should be "mor- ally committed" to act under the North Atlantic Alliance only in cases of unprovoked aggression against a member.
 Hickenlooper's observation came after Chairman Connally D.-Texo o fthe foreign relations committee and Sen. Vandenberg -(R.-MichO had made it plain the Senate will not approve any treaty language which would morally commit this country to go to war.
 The Connally-Vandenberg state ment was made in response to questions Monday by Senator Dunnell R.-MoD. It generally was regarded on Capitol Hill as in volving a setback for the state de- partment in its efforts to negoti- ate the proposed alliance with friendly European nations.
 Later the two Senators went to the department for a conference with secretary of state Acheson, lasting nearly two hours. Neither would comment afterwards.
 Hickenlooper, a foreign rela- tionS committee member, told a reporter he agrees that this coun- try ought not to make blanket commitment to fight.
 ''We must reserve the right to decide for ourselves whether there has been actual, unprovoked ag- gression against a signatory coun- try" he said.

TANANA RIVER ICE AT NENANA 36 INCHES THICK

A letter has been received. from the new manager of. the 1949 Ne mana Ice Pool Classic stating that the ice on the. Panama River is 36 inches thick at the present time and was g inches thick at the same time last year. t-,,.. .' ~ The snow. is four feet deep which stated MT. Avery, in his opinion has lot to do with the breakup as the more water there is, the more it raised the ice at breakup time.
 He also states that the river froze at lower level this year than it ever has before.
 MT. Avery says that he looks for an early breakup, but that is only his guess and as no one in Nenana has ever won the pool he might be way off.

Next War Will Be In Cold Weather"

SAN DIEGO, (P)-The Pacific fleets commander returned from Alaska maneuvers Monday and said the next war probably will be fought in damn cold weather.

 He said that exercises at Kodi- ak Island had given 10000 men training-so that "they aren't afraid of the cold and know how to take care of themselves"
 The men included nearly 1000 marines who invaded the island, their supporting navy force and army and air force units which resisted the invasion.
 Rodgers, who returned by air, had special praise for the marines and for Navy Seabees who "beat" the ice and snow of Kodiak.
 They demonstrated they can do anything under those condi- tions they can do here," he said.
